Mortal Bones

Xu Taiping did not answer Xuanzhi's question immediately.

He walked to the white Bodhi tree and put his hand on it before answering:

"I promised Master Kasyapa that I would take a branch of the white Bodhi tree and send it to the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom in the Wilderness Heaven."

Although Xu Taiping believed in Master Xuanzhi very much.

But this time, inviting the Buddha to the west was related to his life and death and that of the entire Qingxuan Sect. He could not tell others about Lu Daoxuan's plan at will.

However, when Master Xuanzhi heard that Xu Taiping was going to send a white Bodhi branch to Master Jiaye of the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom, his eyes lit up and he said:

"Brother Taiping, are you serious?"

Xu Taiping nodded and said:

"Of course."

Noticing that Xuanzhi's expression at the moment was a little unusual, he immediately asked Master Xuanzhi:

"Master Xuanzhi, do you know something about this white Bodhi branch?"

Hearing this, Xuanzhi looked around vigilantly and said:

"Brother Taiping, wait a moment."

As he said that, he took out a purple gold bowl from his sleeve, and then gently knocked on the purple gold bowl with a small copper pestle.

"Dang!..."

An extremely crisp sound of metal and stone knocking spread out from Master Xuanzhi for a long time.

At the same time.

Accompanied by this sound of metal and stone.

Circles of golden light, like ripples on water, kept spreading around the two people.

In an instant, Xu Taiping felt that the surroundings were suddenly silent, so quiet that he could hear the breathing of several people.

Dongfang Yuejian, who was originally thinking about something, was awakened by the sudden silence. He immediately turned his head and looked at Master Xuanzhi and said:

"Master Xuanzhi, why do you want to use this method of concealing breath and detecting at this time?"

Obviously, this is not the first time that Dongfang Yuejian has seen Xuanzhi use this spell.

"Amitabha..."

Master Xuanzhi first clasped his hands together and smiled at Dongfang Yuejian, then turned his eyes back to Xu Taiping, and then explained:

"This matter is of great importance, and it must not be heard by outsiders."

Dongfang Yuejian heard this, his eyes were full of curiosity, and his expression became serious.

At this time, Xu Taiping, who had just broken off a branch from the white Bodhi tree, asked Master Xuanzhi curiously after hearing what Xuanzhi said:

"Master Xuanzhi, are you referring to sending the white Bodhi branch to the Thousand Buddha Kingdom?"

Dongfang Yuejian heard this and immediately looked at Xuanzhi with her curious eyes.

"That's right."

Xuan Zhi nodded, and then explained to Xu Taiping:

"In normal times, the white Bodhi tree itself is nothing special, but if it is placed in our Buddhist sect."

Xuan Zhi paused, then put his hands together, looked up at the sky with burning eyes, and continued:

"Especially when the Buddhist sect has not been cut off, it can be of great use."

When he said this, Xuan Zhi lowered his head, and his eyes looked at Xu Taiping in front of him again, and then said:

"The most unique thing about the white Bodhi tree for our Buddhist sect is that it is the only inheritance that can contain the Buddhist fate."

Xuan Zhi took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then continued:

"Master Jiaye, let Brother Taiping take a white Bodhi branch over, it must be for the purpose of inheriting the Buddhist fate!"

"He wants to spread the Dharma to the five heavens and earth of the Shangqing Realm!"

When these words came out, even Dongfang Yuejian, who didn't know much about the Savage Thousand Buddha Kingdom and Buddhism, was shocked.

She was very surprised and said:

"Master Xuanzhi, didn't you say that Shangqing Realm had lost its Buddhist affinity long ago?"

The loss of Buddhist affinity means that the cultivation of Buddhist disciples is locked, and at most they can only cultivate to the Buddhist realm equivalent to the heavenly realm of the cultivators.

Not to mention becoming a Buddha on the spot, even the Arhat realm equivalent to the Hedao realm is impossible to reach.

Moreover, the cultivation below the Arhat realm of Buddhism has nothing to do with life span, so no matter how high your aptitude and understanding are, you will eventually die of old age due to exhaustion of life span.

If you can regain the inheritance of Buddhist affinity, it means that a large number of Buddhist monks who are about to die of exhaustion of life span will be reborn.

For example, Master Xuanzhi's master, Faxian, the abbot of Yunyin Temple.

Master Xuanzhi shook his head, and then said with a hint of excitement in his eyes:

"Buddhism has indeed been cut off in Shangqing Realm for a long time, but just sixty or seventy years ago, several elders in the Sutra Library of my Yunyin Temple sensed a trace of Buddhism in the Savage Thousand Buddha Country."

"As expected, this trace of Buddhism is from the ancient Buddha Kasyapa of the Thousand Buddha Country!"

The several major Zen temples in Youyuntian, as well as the Yunyin Temple in Xiliang, which is famous for its hard practice, value Xu Taiping so much, in addition to Xu Taiping's rescue of the several major Buddhist temples, the main reason is that they sensed the breath of Buddhism from the ancient Buddha Kasyapa.

Xu Taiping, who had been listening silently, finally spoke up at this time:

"Master Xuanzhi, are you sure that a white Bodhi branch alone can borrow a Buddhist affinity from the ancient Buddha Kasyapa?"

The biggest purpose of Xu Taiping's trip to the wilderness this time was to ask for a Buddha statue with Buddhist affinity from the Lingjiu Peak of the Thousand Buddhas Country, but compared to the test of climbing the Lingjiu Peak, it was much easier to just send a white Bodhi branch to the wilderness.

Master Xuanzhi looked at Xu Taiping in surprise.

In his opinion, if he did not have a deep understanding of Buddhism, he would not have asked this question.

However, Xuanzhi did not ask any more questions, but shook his head and replied:

"Indeed, a single white bodhi branch cannot carry a Buddhist bond."

Hearing this, Dongfang Yueyu asked curiously:

"If a single bodhi branch doesn't work, how about sending the whole white bodhi tree over?"

Master Xuanzhi shook his head seriously and said:

"The Oriental girl is not a matter of size or length, it is a thing in this world. Unless it has a Buddhist connection, even if you send a whole white Bodhi tree, the Buddha connection that can be passed down will be the same. "

After saying that, Master Xuanzhi looked at Xu Taiping again and said:

"To be precise, the inheritance that this white bodhi branch can bring back from the ancient Buddha Kasyapa can only be regarded as a seed of Buddha fate."

"I want to get a complete Buddhist inheritance."

"We must use the magic power of monks like us to carefully cultivate and raise this white bodhi branch. Only when it grows back into a towering tree will the complete inheritance of Buddha's fate return to the higher realm."

Xu Taiping immediately frowned and asked:

"How many years will it take?"

Master Xuanzhi replied:

"If we can mobilize the efforts of all Buddhist disciples in the Qing Dynasty to support this white bodhi tree, we should be able to obtain a complete inheritance of Buddha's fate within two hundred years."

Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately said with regret:

"Two hundred years... is too long."

He originally planned that if this white bodhi branch could inherit the power of the complete Buddha connection, he would not be too lazy to go to Lingjiu Peak to invite the Buddha statue.

But now that Master Xuanzhi said that it would take at least two hundred years to obtain a complete Buddhist inheritance through this white bodhi branch, he suddenly lost interest in the matter.

In two hundred years, Qingxuan is afraid that he will be swallowed up by Taixu Calamity.

However, Master Xuanzhi looked forward to this.

Just listen to his tone of voice with a bit of excitement:

"Brother Taiping, for us Buddhist disciples who have lost the inheritance of Buddhism for hundreds of thousands of years, two hundred years is nothing!"

Hearing this, Xu Taiping smiled bitterly and said:

"Master is right, this Buddhist fate is more attractive to today's Buddhist disciples in the Shangqing Realm than anything else."
