Mortal Bones

"Crack!"

Before Xu Taiping could recall who the "old friend" mentioned by Demon Emperor Yangling was, his feet had already stood on the ground again.

Looking up, he found that he was already in a large hall surrounded by a sea of ​​clouds.

After taking a closer look at the environment in the hall, Xu Taiping felt familiar and immediately said in surprise:

"This is...the twelfth floor of Xuanhuang Tower?"

Xu Taiping did not expect that the Yangling Demon Emperor would not only directly send him back to the Xuanhuang Tower, but also to the twelfth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower.

Then, I heard a long-lost familiar voice in front of me:

"Taoist Master Taiping, you and I finally meet again."

At the same time, a young figure with a springy face appeared in the hall and walked slowly towards him.

Xu Taiping took a closer look, tried hard to recall, and then his eyes lit up.

The person who came was surprisingly the tower spirit of Xuanhuang Tower, Dongfang Jing, one of the generals under Emperor Xuanhuang.

Before he could speak, the Tower Spirit Dongfang Jing suddenly gave him a big gift, and then said with a grateful tone:

"Thank you, Taoist Master Taiping, for obtaining this precious Buddhist inheritance for us, the people of Xuanhuangtian."

Xu Taiping glanced at the Buddha statue next to him, cupped his hands towards the Oriental Mirror, shook his head and said:

"Senior Dongfang, there is no need to be polite. I ask for this Buddhist fate inheritance, not only for Xuanhuangtian but also for myself."

Just as he said this, Demon Emperor Yangling suddenly appeared beside him silently, reached out and patted his shoulder and said:

"Boy, don't be humble to him. They can't thank you enough for this great gift."

Xu Taiping turned his head and looked at the Yangling Demon Emperor, then he was startled and said:

"Yangling Demon Emperor, is it possible that your appearance is the price for using that magical power just now?"

At this time, the Demon Emperor of Yangling was seen, his beard and hair were all white and his face was rough. Even his originally tall and burly body became rickety at this time.

Demon Emperor Yangling spread his hands, then found a chair in the main hall and lay down, then he spoke very tiredly:

"It's not that easy to split two layers of sky with one knife."

Seeing this, Dongfang Jing also smiled and thanked Demon Emperor Yangling:

"Thank you, Lord Diyang, for sending Taoist Taiping and this Buddha statue to the Xuanhuang Tower together."

Demon Emperor Yangling waved his hand, indicating that he wanted to rest.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Taiping asked Dongfang Jing curiously:

"Senior Dongfang, when you placed Senior Di Yang next to me, was it just to wait for today?"

Dongfang Jing immediately waved his hands and said:

"When Emperor Xuanhuang asked Master Yangling to follow you, the main purpose was to leave a ray of hope for you to bring you back to Xuanhuang Tower when everything was at an end."

"As for today's matter, at least at that time, there was no explanation in the emperor's will."

Xu Taiping nodded.

In fact, no matter what Emperor Xuanhuang's intention was in keeping Di Yang by his side, at least for now, it seemed to have solved his urgent need.

So Xu Taiping did not delve into the matter, but asked Dongfang Jing:

"Senior Dongfang, I am going to place this Buddha statue in Xuanhuangtian. Senior, do you have a place for me to choose from?"

He didn't know much about Xuanhuangtian, so he wanted to ask about the Dongfang Mirror.

Dongfang Jing seemed to have expected this problem a long time ago. He immediately turned around, stretched out his hand towards the stairs leading to the thirteenth floor of Xuanhuang Tower and said:

"Taoist Master Taiping, why don't you ask the Wentian Bell."

Xu Taiping was very puzzled and said:

"Isn't this Wentian Bell used by Xuanhuangtian to communicate with Emperor Xuanhuang in the immortal world?"

Dongfang Jing smiled and explained:

"Taiping Taoist Master doesn't know something."

"In addition to being able to communicate with the emperor in the immortal world, the Wentian Bell is also an artifact that can enhance the soul-sensing power of monks."

"When Emperor Xuanhuang led us to conquer Jiuyuan, he often used this Wentian Bell to sense the enemy's situation thousands of miles away, or even a world away."

When he said this, Dongfang Jing sighed, and then continued:

"More importantly, Wentian Bell has already gained spiritual access. When the Emperor left, he asked it to take good care of the people of Xuanhuangtian and report the situation to him whenever there is an opportunity."

"So over the years, Wentian Zhong has almost witnessed how Jiuyuan swallowed up Xuanhuang step by step, and how those monsters in Jiuyuan killed the innocent people in Xuanhuang Tian step by step."

"Day after day, year after year..."

"For Wentian Zhong, who has already developed his intelligence, isn't this a form of torture?"

"So in these years, although the divine power of Wentian Zhong has been overlooking the entire Xuanhuangtian, the spiritual wisdom has been sleeping most of the time."

After saying that, Dongfang Jing looked up at Xu Taiping, his eyes full of hope and said:

"Taoist Master Taiping, your Buddhist inheritance may be able to bring her some comfort."

After hearing this explanation, Xu Taiping finally understood, so he nodded and said:

"That's just right."

"Wentian Zhong knows Xuanhuangtian so well, so he must know where it would be better to place this Buddha statue."

At the same time, he also said to Lian Tong in his heart:

"If you ask Wentian Zhong to help you find the place where the Buddha statue is placed, you can save some time to return to Xuanhuangtian and help you remove the yellow robe's divine slough."

This time seeking Buddhist connections, except for the time spent on climbing the peak, it did not consume much time at other times.

Hearing this, Liantong was very open-minded and said:

"Go do your work first. Although there is still one divine transformation missing, if you can completely refine the divine transformation of Yin Shen Kun, you may be able to raise your divine power to the second level."

After hearing what Lian Tong said, Xu Taiping was completely relieved and began to walk towards the steps in front.

...

Xuanhuang Tower.

Thirteenth floor.

Standing in front of the ancient bell, Xu Taiping turned his head to look at Dongfang Jing beside him and the hunched Yangling Demon Emperor.

Dongfang Jing smiled and nodded to Xu Taiping, then made a gesture of invitation.

Xu Taiping immediately put down the Buddha statue, walked straight to the bell, and then took the Zusheng Fist Baxia style boxing stance, and punched the Wentian Bell in front of him.

"Boom!"

"Dang!"

After a burst of deafening gas explosions, the Heaven-asking Bell, which was almost as high as a building, rang out after a long absence, full of vicissitudes and simplicity, when hit by Xu Taiping's punch.

It has been more than sixty years since the last time the bell rang.

Dongfang Jing, who was standing by, nodded with great satisfaction.

You know, even if you are a cultivator in the Heaven-asking Bell, you may not be able to ring this Heaven-asking Bell.

And at the sound of the bell, a gentle female voice that sounded a little childish suddenly sounded on the thirteenth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower:

"Who is calling me?"

Xu Taiping immediately bowed to the Questioning Heaven Bell and said:

"Zhenwu Qingxuan disciple, Xu Taiping, today I have obtained a Buddhist inheritance, I would like to ask you, where to place it in Xuanhuang Heaven."

Hearing this, the gentle woman first murmured:

"Qingxuan Xu Taiping, aren't you the boy who came to ring the bell last time, wait!"

"What did you just say?"

"A Buddhist inheritance?"

"You, where did you get the Buddhist inheritance?!"
