Mortal Bones

But then he thought about it, and realized that these monks had indeed died because of the Buddha. If there really was a Pure Land in the Western Heaven, he felt that the ancient Buddha Kasyapa should indeed make arrangements for them.

"Just think of it as a white lie. Besides, Master Kasyapa, you have deceived me so many times. Is it not too much for me to deceive you once this time?"

Thinking like this, Xu Taiping suddenly felt much more relaxed.

But what Xu Taiping didn't expect was.

The effect of this decree was somewhat beyond his expectation.

After hearing that they could "rebirth in bliss", the monks, who were already a little depressed because they had been besieged the temple for several months, suddenly cheered up.

Some monks excitedly raised their sticks and knives and shouted impassioned words such as "We are willing to die for the Buddha."

The atmosphere of the entire Pilu Temple took on a new look.

"As expected of Zen Buddhism, a single sentence of bliss after death can make people willing to die. If Zen Buddhism had not experienced a catastrophe thousands of years ago, which led to the fall of many ancient Buddhas and directly entered the age of the end of the Dharma, I am afraid that the appearance of the three realms would be completely different. ”

After feeling the change in the atmosphere in Pilu Temple, even Fairy Lingyue couldn't help but sigh.

"What catastrophe?"

Xu Taiping was a little curious.

"I don't know the specific reason. It seems that the Buddha Kingdom was fighting for a piece of land where the gods fell from the sky, but the world was backlash. A sword cultivator in that ruined land used a sword that was struck by thousands of years of luck. , destroyed most of the Buddhist country.”

Fairy Lingyue recalled.

"A sword?"

Xu Taiping looked stunned.

"Yeah, a sword."

Lingyue replied.

"Lord Heavenly Protector!"

At this moment, Abbot Huiming suddenly hurried to Xu Taiping's side again.

"Inside this armor pill is the suit of armor worn by the evil Shura Heavenly Protector of the year. When the first abbot obtained this armor in the wilderness, he warned us that only those who are destined to save evil Shura can open it. This armor.”

Abbot Huiming held the armor pill in both hands and looked at Xu Taiping expectantly.

He has determined that Xu Taiping is the incarnation of Shura, so he must be able to open this armor pill.

"Let me try."

Xu Taiping nodded.

Unlike Abbot Huiming, who knew that he was not the incarnation of Shura, he was actually not that confident about whether he could open the armor pill.

After taking the Jiawan, Xu Taiping injected a trace of true energy into it.

To his surprise, the Komaru clicked and opened on the spot.

A jet-black battle armor instantly enveloped Xu Taiping's whole body, and even his face was covered with a dark iron mask, with only two eyes exposed.

"Amitabha, congratulations to the Lord Protector of Heaven for regaining the treasured armor of the past!"

After seeing that Xu Taiping actually opened the armor pill and put on the armor that Shura Duo had worn in the past, the abbot Huiming once again clasped his hands together and celebrated excitedly.

"Sister Lingyue, ancient Buddha Kasyapa, couldn't have been settled a hundred years ago, right?"

Xu Taiping lowered his head and glanced at the armor on his body, and at the same time asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.

"It's not calculation, it's the cause and effect of Zen. I've said it before, if you pick up a stone in front of a Zen temple, it will be stained with cause and effect."

Fairy Lingyue smiled.

"But it's okay. At present, it seems that this ancient Buddha Kassapa has no ill intentions towards you, and you are not just asking for opportunities from them. There is no possibility of evil retribution in the future."

She then added.

Xu Taiping nodded and kept this matter in mind.

"I just sensed it. Although this armor is seriously damaged, it is truly an artifact. If you can wear it, you may be able to fight against demons at the level of the Demon Lord."

"But there's also a problem."

At this time Fairy Lingyue's voice sounded again.

"what is the problem?"

"Artifacts consume a lot of divine energy. If you want to use this armor freely, you must at least break through to the realm of refining gods. Before that, I need to use my soul to control this armor for you."

Fairy Lingyue replied seriously.

"But Sister Lingyue, if you use your divine energy in Youyuntian, will it attract the attention of that leaf book?"

Xu Taiping was a little worried.

"It's possible, but now is not the time to worry about that. If Pilu Temple is destroyed, we will be dead."

Fairy Lingyue replied very calmly.

"Then I understand. Sister Lingyue, please control this armor. If we are really discovered, we will face it together."

Xu Taiping's answer was also very decisive.

"Don't worry, your sister and I are no longer the remnant soul we were when we first met. Being discovered doesn't mean that we will definitely be found."

Fairy Lingyue said confidently.

It seemed that she had already prepared for this.

And just after Fairy Lingyue said these words, Xu Taiping felt that the treasured armor on his body was like a wild beast that had been sleeping for a thousand years, waking up little by little.

A terrifying power began to spread from around him.

Eventually, this aura enveloped the entire Pilu Temple.

For a moment, all the monks in the temple were silent, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast that would be swallowed into its belly if they opened their mouths.

The abbot Huiming on the side was even more so.

If his feeling towards Xu Taiping just now was "respect" without any distracting thoughts, then what he feels towards Xu Taiping at this moment is "fear" without any distracting thoughts.

He even felt that the aura on Xu Taiping's body at this moment was more terrifying than that of the Heavenly Wolf Demon Lord just now.

And Xu Taiping felt very strange at this time.

After Fairy Lingyue helped him control the armor, he suddenly had an illusion that he could split mountains and seas with just a wave of his hand.

"This armor can allow you to experience the perception power of the realm of transformation in advance, but the power that can be exerted should only be at the peak of the realm of refinement. The specific combat power that can be used depends on yourself."

Fairy Lingyue's voice sounded in Xu Taiping's mind again at this time.

"Yes, I know."

Xu Taiping responded in his heart, and after seeing the horrified eyes of the abbot Huiming beside him, he said to Fairy Lingyue:

"Sister Lingyue, let this armor sleep first."

"Yes, but you have to remember that even if I want to exert the full power of this armor, it can only last for an incense stick of time."

Fairy Lingyue responded, and at the same time reminded Xu Taiping.

Then the terrible aura that spread around Xu Taiping dissipated like a tide.

Huiming's tense nerves relaxed instantly.
