Mortal Bones

"He, what is he talking about?"

"He actually refused the conditions offered by Chenglong Tianzong Emperor Yun? What else can you say that this Buddhist destiny inheritance has been for Xuanhuangtian from the beginning to the end?"

"Does Xu Taiping know what he is talking about?"

Whether it was the watching monks in the teahouse or in front of the spiritual mirror, when they heard that Xu Taiping not only rejected the generous offer offered by Chenglongtian Emperor Zongyun, but also insisted on giving away this Buddhist inheritance that he almost sacrificed his life for. Queen Xuanhuang all had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Some monks even thought that they had heard wrongly, and kept shouting in the spiritual mirror to confirm whether they had heard correctly just now.

Even the old city lord of Thousand Machines City thought that he had heard wrongly. He once again used the power of the incomplete imperial seal in his hand and used the moon shadow stone to transmit the message to Xu Taiping in the wilderness:

"Taoist Master Taiping, old man, old man, did you hear correctly?"

When saying this, the voice of the old city lord, who had experienced hundreds of battles, actually trembled.

At the same time, Zong Yun, the Chenglongtian Emperor, spoke again:

"Xu Taiping, I know what you want to do, but I still have to advise you to think it over carefully. After all, this is the closest opportunity you have to ascending to enlightenment."

Xu Taiping cupped his hands towards the direction where Emperor Chenglong's voice came from and said:

"Thank you, Emperor Chenglong."

Xu Taiping put down his hands, looked again at the direction where the voice of the old city lord of Qianji City came from, and said with a smile:

"Old City Lord, you heard me right. This Buddhist destiny inheritance is what Xuanhuangtian asked for."

The old city lord of Thousand Machines City is still a little afraid to say:

"Taoist Master Taiping, I, Xuanhuang Tianke... can't offer you such generous terms as those of the great emperors. You, do you really no longer think about it seriously?"

He asked Xu Taiping for the Buddha statue, more just for peace of mind. After all, for Xuanhuangtian, if this Buddha statue was there, millions of people would be saved from fire and water.

I never thought that Xu Taiping would really give this Buddha statue to Xuanhuangtian.

After all, in his opinion, no one could help but be tempted by the conditions offered by the three great emperors, whether it was the upper realm or the lower realm.

Xu Taiping glanced at the Buddha statue in front of him, then raised his head, looked again at the direction where the voice of the old city lord of Qianji City came from, and said:

"Don't worry, Old City Master, this time I gave this Buddha statue to Xuanhuangtian just to help Xuanhuang fight against Jiuyuan and save a few more innocent people from suffering."

"Nothing else to ask for."

This sound was like the final word, shattering all the speculations in the minds of the monks watching the battle.

The three people in Yuheng Mountain were silent.

A moment later, amidst the noisy discussions in the teahouse, Xiahou Qingyuan, who had always been critical of Xu Taiping, suddenly stood up and expressionlessly raised his hand to Xu Taiping in the shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone:

"Xu Taiping, I, Xiahou Qingyuan, have recorded your kindness to Xuanhuangtian."

Xia Houyou looked ashamed and said:

"Back then at Xuanhuang Tower, the debt owed by Xuanhuangtian has not yet been fully repaid. Now that I owe you this great debt, I don't know how Xuanhuangtian will repay it."

On the side, Shihu Tianjun, who had been in a daze, suddenly seemed to remember something, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:

"I see!"

Xiahou You and Xiahou Qingyuan both looked at Shihu Tianjun in surprise.

Shihu Tianjun seemed not to notice the gazes of the two of them. He stared at the figure of Xu Taiping inside the Moon Shadow Stone without blinking, and then murmured in a trembling voice:

"This is a really good move!"

Xiahou Qingyuan asked in confusion:

"Third uncle, what do you mean?"

Shihu Tianjun shook his head vigorously and said:

"Xu Taiping's skills can at least give the Shangqing cultivation world a hundred-year advantage in the decisive battle with Jiuyuan!"

Xiahou Qingyuan was startled for a moment, then asked:

"Third Uncle, could you see Xu Taiping's true intention in gifting this Buddha statue to Xuanhuangtian?"

Shihu Tianjun nodded, and then said with a hint of excitement in his eyes:

"If you just look at Xu Taiping's motivation for gifting Buddha Xuanhuang from the perspective of a monk, you will definitely be confused, but if you look at it from the perspective of the dispute between Shangqing and Jiuyuan, everything will become clear!"

Xia Houyou, who had been listening silently, was very puzzled and said:

"Xuanhuang has been occupied by Jiuyuan for a long time. A Buddhist fate inheritance, I'm afraid it can't touch the foundation of Jiuyuan, right?"

Xiahou Qingyuan also spoke at this time:

"At most, this Buddha statue can protect the area within three to five hundred miles of Xuanhuangtian. The people it can protect are not as large as a large city of Xuanhuangtian."

Shihu Tianjun looked at the two of them deeply, and then asked:

"Qingyuan, Xiaoyou, do you know how many Buddhist disciples are left in Shangqing?"

Xia Houyou thought carefully before replying:

"Although the lineage of Buddhism has been cut off for millions of years, the number of Buddhist disciples has always been high. The number of disciples who have practiced Buddhism alone in the five directions of heaven and earth should be hundreds of thousands."

"If you don't count the disciples who have cultivated the Dharma, and only the monks who study scriptures and practice asceticism in the temples, the number is probably between three and five million."

After Xiahou Qingyuan heard this, he froze as if struck by lightning.

Immediately, I saw him staring at Xu Taiping in the shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone, his eyes full of horror as he murmured:

"More than that. If you include those who have faith in Buddhism, it will be far more than this number."

Xia Houyou said in confusion:

"Why add Buddhist faith..."

When she said this, she stood there motionless as if she was petrified, just like Xiahou Qingyuan just now.

After a moment, she murmured:

"Hundreds of thousands of Buddhist disciples who have cultivated magical powers, millions of ordinary Buddhist disciples, tens of millions of Buddhist believers...If they all go to Xuanhuangtian to make a pilgrimage, it will be...what a terrifying force it will be."

Shihu Tianjun was also a little excited at this time:

"Don't be too many, as long as one or two percent of these monks can understand the Buddhist inheritance through the Buddha statue."

When he said this, Shihu Tianjun paused, and then said with a trembling voice:

"That will be the end of Jiuyuan in Xuanhuangtian!"

Chaye At this time, the old city lord of Qianji City said in a grateful voice:

"Qianji City, on behalf of the people of Xuanhuangtian, thanks Prince Taiping for his righteousness!"

After a brief pause, the old city lord suddenly said in a passionate and high-pitched voice full of murderous intent:

"To express gratitude, Qianji City will unite with the major cities of Xuanhuangtian and declare war on all the Jiuyuan forces in Xuanhuantian from today."

"Until Jiuyuan rolls out of Xuanhuang, this war will not stop!"

Hearing that the city lord of Qianji City was actually declaring a full-scale war on the Jiuyuan forces in Xuanhuangtian in his speech, all the monks watching the battle were stunned on the spot.

Shi Hu Tianjun exhaled a long breath of turbid air from his chest with a "hu" sound, and then said excitedly with a trembling voice:

"The old city lord of Qianji City must have seen the real intention of Xu Taiping's gift of this Buddhist fate!"

But at this moment, accompanied by a "rumbling" sound of earth shaking, the originally clear sky of the Old Dragon Court suddenly became dark and dark.

Immediately afterwards, a cultivator on the street outside the building shouted in a terrified tone:

"Outside the Old Dragon Court, a large number of Nine Abyss monsters are gathering!"

"They, they are attacking the city!"
