Mortal Bones

Thousand Buddha Country, ruins of Yichan Temple.

"Cough, cough, cough!..."

Xu Taiping climbed out of an abandoned well, gasping for breath.

Because the insect hole of the Star Picking Platform was just connected to the bottom of the deep well of Yichan Temple, Xu Taiping was caught off guard and choked on several mouthfuls of water.

"In the insect hole, the magic seems to be ineffective."

Xu Taiping wiped his mouth and said to Fairy Lingyue in his heart.

"That's right."

Fairy Lingyue responded.

"Will Shangjiu catch up?"

Xu Taiping found a stone to sit down, and while practicing Qigong and regulating his breathing, he confirmed with Fairy Lingyue.

Until now, Shangjiu's terrible swordsmanship still made him feel scared.

"He may not know how to open the insect hole, and even if he knows, the time interval between opening the same insect hole must be more than six hours."

Fairy Lingyue was not worried about this.

"Six hours, almost."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Then he took out Huang Que's map and confirmed the distance between Yichan Temple and Tianyin Hall in Langxiao Ridge.

"Sixty miles?"

After roughly calculating the distance between the two, Xu Taiping was delighted.

According to the location on the map, the distance between Zhaixingtai and Langxiao Ridge was originally at least six thousand miles, and it would take three days for a Tongxuan realm cultivator to fly a sword.

"Sister Lingyue, let's get going."

Xu Taiping stuffed a Qi-gathering pill into his mouth and stood up immediately.

Thinking of the scene he saw when he was wandering in the sky, his eyes became a little anxious.

If the scene he saw at that time was true, then Senior Brother Qingxiao's good friend Chen Hao might not be able to hold on for long.

"Taiping, did you see something when you broke through the Tongxuan realm?"

Fairy Lingyue immediately guessed the reason why Xu Taiping was so anxious.

So Xu Taiping used the skill of "Zhi Chi Tianya" to fly quickly on the snowy plain, while briefly telling Fairy Lingyue about several scenes he saw when he was wandering in the sky.

"You have never been out of Shangqing Realm, how can you see the battlefield of immortals and demons in Xumi Realm? And that red cave is clearly the Nine Nether Demon Cave. How can you, a little cultivator in Tongxuan Realm, see such a thing?"

Inside the gourd, Fairy Lingyue, who was lost in thought, murmured to herself.

"Sister Lingyue, you also think that these are not illusions, and what happened in Tianyin Palace is definitely not an illusion."

Xu Taiping did not want to delve into the reasons, he just wanted to save people now.

"Well, if the situation you see later is consistent with what you saw when you traveled to the sky, then we have to treat the other two visions you saw with caution."

Fairy Lingyue agreed.

"By the way, I saw that you were blindfolded when you came out. Did something go wrong when you broke through?"

Fairy Lingyue finally asked a question that had been in her heart for a long time.

So Xu Taiping told Fairy Lingyue again about the Yin God fighting with the outer demon and then giving him a double pupil.

"What a pity."

Unexpectedly, Fairy Lingyue looked regretful after hearing it.

"Why is it a pity?"

Xu Taiping was puzzled.

"If it was in ancient times, you would be considered a demigod just by this eye, but now the ancient gods only have some divine power left in this wilderness. Once you leave the wilderness, I'm afraid your double pupil will only have some spiritual energy left."

Fairy Lingyue explained.

In fact, the biggest reason why she felt it was a pity, which she hadn't told Xu Taiping yet, was that after reaching a certain realm, you need this sacred thing to break through.

Many cultivators stopped moving forward because of this.

"As long as I open this eye, the soul-crying disease will break out. I'm afraid I can't use it even in this wilderness."

Xu Taiping smiled bitterly.

He didn't feel that much regret. He was already very satisfied that he could successfully break through the Tongxuan.

"Next time you open your eyes, hold the gentian stone in your mouth, and you can reduce the pain caused by this symptom."

Fairy Lingyue reminded Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping was delighted when he heard this.

If the ability of the double pupil can be used, it will undoubtedly be a great help to him.

However, the next sentence of Fairy Lingyue made him fall into a choice-

"The dragon gall stone consumed for one use is equivalent to thirty pots of dragon gall wine."

You know, when he was in Wangyou Realm, he could not consume much dragon gall wine in a year.

After the two chatted for a while about the issues that need to be paid attention to when stabilizing the realm after breaking through Tongxuan Realm, Xu Taiping suddenly asked Fairy Lingyue in a serious tone:

"Sister Lingyue, if Bodhi fruit is really planted on my senior brother, is there any way to resolve it?"

Because Fairy Lingyue had said before that once the Bodhi seed is planted, it is difficult to pull it out, so he has never dared to ask this question.

"It will take him three months to persist, but as far as I know, Bodhi seed not only devours the essence, blood and true qi of the cultivator, but also devours the soul. So even if you survive three months, it is hard to say whether your second senior brother is still Dugu Qingxiao."

Fairy Lingyue sighed.

According to the records in the ancient books she had read, when the Thousand Buddha Kingdom still existed, the Bodhi seeds were a kind of poison that required the abbot Zen Master who was profound in Buddhism to personally dissolve it.

Now the Thousand Buddha Kingdom is already a ruin, where can we find those Zen Masters?

"Is there really no way?"

Xu Taiping asked somewhat unwillingly.

"Do you really want to save your brother as long as there is a glimmer of hope?"

Fairy Lingyue hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Yes."

Xu Taiping nodded vigorously.

"Even if it puts you in danger of life and death, you won't hesitate?"

Fairy Lingyue asked again.

"certainly."

Xu Taiping nodded again without hesitation.

If the person he wanted to save was Huang Que, he might think about it, but if it was the second senior brother he wanted to save, he wouldn't even think about it.

In Qingxuan, Second Senior Brother and Senior Sister Linglong are family to him.

"In addition to the equality of all living beings, there is one precept left in the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom, which is called Shura to save evil."

Fairy Lingyue replied.

"What is Shura who saves evil?"

Xu Taiping asked in his heart while continuing to run.

"The ancient Buddha Kassapa of the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom made a great wish in order for the people of the Buddha's Kingdom to do righteous deeds. As long as he can bear all the malice on behalf of others, he can make a vow to him."

Fairy Lingyue explained.
