Mortal Bones

When he said this, Xu Taiping had already stood up again.

As he continued to step forward, he took out a rope from the ring and tied the Buddha statue behind his back. Then he just arched his back and stepped forward step by step.

The wolf-headed Yin Shen stood on the steps above waiting for Xu Taiping. After watching quietly for a long time, he turned his head and muttered:

"Humans are really fragile."

But as he stepped up the steps, he added in a low voice:

"But scary."

So the wolf-headed ghost once again joined Xu Taiping, one behind the other, climbing the last hundred steps step by step.

Although this scene was completely a drop in the bucket compared to the many difficulties Xu Taiping had encountered before.

But for some reason, the monks watching the battle, whether in the teahouse or in front of the spiritual mirror, all watched without saying a word.

Some monks were even inexplicably in awe of Xu Taiping in the shadow.

Xia Houyou from Yuheng Mountain asked very puzzledly:

"Third uncle, why do I feel that Xu Taiping, who is climbing the ranks step by step at this moment, is even more radiant than... than when he fought off the ghosts in Kasyapa Palace."

Shihu Tianjun, who had been silent for a long time, took a deep breath and then replied:

"Because Xu Taiping is more like a human being at this moment."

He immediately added:

"A living person who attempts to use his human body to fight against the imprisonment of heaven on the human body."

Hearing this, Xiahou Qingyuan, who was still a little disapproving at first, was suddenly shocked and murmured: "Third uncle, you want to say that Xu Taiping's physical body was exhausted when he just dealt with the evil god from outside the territory who seized his body. The lamp is dry?”

Shihu Tianjun nodded with a complicated look and said:

"Look at the blood stains on the stone steps."

After being reminded by Shihu Tianjun, Xiahou Qingyuan and Xiahouyou discovered that the stone steps leading to the top of the peak were already stained red by the blood flowing from Xu Taiping's body.

Shihu Tianjun said again at this time:

"You should all know very well that monks who have cultivated above the realm of transformation will only experience uncontrollable qi and blood leaving the body when their essence and blood are exhausted."

"That's why I guessed that if nothing unexpected happens, Xu Taiping's physical body has already been exhausted when he fought against the evil gods from outside the territory to seize his body."

When he said this, Shihu Tianjun suddenly paused, and then looked at Xu Taiping again, who was only ten steps away from the summit, exhaled a long breath, and then said:

"What you are seeing now is a monk who should have fallen to the ground, but with his amazing perseverance, he used his body that was exhausted and exhausted to climb to the top of the mountain step by step."

"No matter what the purpose of Xu Taiping's trip is, is it for his own selfish gain?"

"At least until this scene."

"They are all worthy of our respect."

"Because, since the beginning of the Suigu Chaos, we, the human monks, have step by step reached the forefront of the thousands of living beings in the Supreme Purity."

Xia Houyou on the side heard this, immediately took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

Although Xiahou Qingyuan was speechless, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Taiping was already filled with deep envy and jealousy.

Let me ask you, among all the monks in the world, who doesn’t want to live like that?

And at this moment, Xu Taiping, who was only seven or eight steps away from reaching the top, suddenly fell to the ground again.

Under the dazzling sunlight, the long trail of blood behind him was like a long cloak trailing behind him.

Perhaps because of too much overdraft, Xu Taiping lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.

If it weren't for the fact that they could still see the ups and downs of his body, all the monks would have begun to doubt whether he was still alive.

Some monks even regretted:

"I'm afraid Xu Taiping won't be able to hold on anymore."

A monk echoed:

"It's a shame that we finally got to this point."

A monk retorted:

"Whether it is taking down this Buddha statue or carrying this Buddha statue to the top of the mountain, it is a meaningless act. What is there to regret?"

Some monks agreed:

"That's right. I think Xu Taiping is just full. His relationship with the Buddha has been cut off for so long. What's the point of doing this?"

Some monks doubted:

"Is it possible that after taking this Buddha statue to the top of the mountain, it can open a secret door or treasure left in the Buddhist kingdom?"

Hearing this, the discussion among the monks in the teahouse became lively again.

Compared with any feat of facing the imprisonment of heaven, the monks are still more interested in secret realms and treasures.

What's more, Xu Taiping had already acquired many rare things on Lingjiu Peak.

As the discussion became more and more intense, many monks did not even notice that Xu Taiping, who had been lying on the ground for a while, actually stood up again.

Until a monk exclaimed:

"Look, look, Xu Taiping not only climbed up again, but also climbed four or five steps in a row!"

Soon another monk exclaimed:

"With only the last step left, Xu Taiping is about to reach the top of Lingjiu Peak!"

In an instant, the teahouse, which had been in full swing just now, became quiet again.

"Crack!"

At this time, in the quiet teahouse, the sound of Xu Taiping's footsteps coming through the shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone became extremely clear.

Immediately, in the dilated eyes of all the monks, the figure of Xu Taiping swaying across the last step appeared.

"Crack!"

At this time, with another heavy footstep, Xu Taiping finally stepped on the ground at the top of Lingjiu Peak.

The line of sight in the Moon Shadow Stone screen also looked towards the top of the peak.

In front of Xu Taiping, on the top of the majestic Lingjiu Peak, there was a vast and boundless square carefully paved with floor tiles shining with purple and gold luster.

In the center of the square, a huge incense burner stood proudly, which was as tall as a one- or two-story building, exuding a simple and solemn atmosphere. The line of sight passed through the lingering smoke of the incense burner and continued to extend to the back, and saw a towering and upright huge golden door that divided the peak into two. It was engraved with complex and mysterious patterns, which made people feel awe.

In front of the two golden doors, there was also a huge lotus platform with lotus petals blooming like a blazing flame, which seemed to contain some kind of ancient power.

Not only the lotus platform and the incense burner, but all the buildings and decorations on the top of the peak are presented on an extremely large scale, as if they were built in the style of the magnificent residences of the ancient gods and men, revealing a solemnity and mystery that transcends time and space.

After seeing everything on the top of the peak clearly, a monk finally said in a surprised tone:

"This Xu Taiping actually climbed up... climbed to the top of the peak with a broken body."

Another part of the monks were concerned about the huge golden door across the top of the peak.

"Is this the place where the monks of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom ascended to heaven as rumored?"

"The scriptures on the door are indeed the first time I have seen them."

Some monks even said whimsically:

"Is this Xu Taiping planning to ascend to the foreign Buddhist kingdom from here?"

However, as Xu Taiping on the top of the peak began to walk step by step towards the incense burner with the Buddha statue on his back, the discussion in the teahouse became smaller and smaller.
