Mortal Bones

"Senior Brother Taiping, is this the first time you have heard of the Scripture Keeper of Yunyin Temple?"

Chu Tiancheng quickly asked Xu Taiping.

"It's indeed the first time."

Xu Taiping nodded.

During the time he was with Monk Xuanzhi, the two of them were either fleeing or going through tribulations, so there was no time to talk about these things.

"In Yunyin Temple, only the disciples with the best talents and the most connections with Buddhism are eligible to be selected as sutra keepers. Every abbot of Yunyin Temple is selected from these sutra keeper disciples."

Chu Tiancheng explained excitedly.

"In addition, the number of disciples of the Scripture Keepers has always been only eighteen. If Master Xuanzhi is not joking, this should be the first time in Yunyin Temple's thousands of years that all eighteen Scripture Keepers have come out together."

Lu Rushuang also added with a little excitement in her eyes.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping quickly picked up the jade slip to convey the message to Xuanzhi and asked:

"Xuanzhi, are you kidding? Eighteen scripture keepers going out together is no child's play."

Not long after, Xuanzhi's voice came from the jade slip again:

"Brother Xu, this matter is what our abbot said. According to what he said, Brother Xu, you are a person who is destined to the Buddha and deserve the full help of Yunyin Temple."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping scratched his head in embarrassment.

Why did this little monk Xindao speak so dumbly after he died once?

"Little Senior Aunt, I don't think this Master Xuanzhi is... Little Senior Aunt?"

Xu Taiping was just about to explain to his junior sister-in-law and the others, but they all stared at him with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"Senior Brother Taiping, what have you done to deserve such reward from the abbot of Yunyin Temple? You should also teach me, the teacher sister!"

Chu Tiancheng suddenly approached Xu Taiping, opened his big black eyes, and asked Xu Taiping curiously.

"I do have a friendship with that Xuanzhi who share weal and woe, but this is just a personal relationship between the two of us and has nothing to do with Yunyin Temple."

Xu Taiping himself was also very puzzled.

"Don't dwell on this matter. No matter what, it's a good thing to have a good relationship with Yunyin Temple."

Lu Rushuang pulled away from Chu Tiancheng at this time.

"This time, there is a Vajra-level meditator, plus eighteen sutra keepers, so the pressure on us will be much lessened. There is no guarantee that we can really save Xiaoyu before the Golden Scale Meeting begins."

She then said with a smile on her face.

"Yes, no matter what, it's a good thing."

Xu Taiping nodded.

The eighteen scripture keepers of Yunyin Temple were definitely an unexpected surprise for him.

"In this case, even if the five major Buddhist temples in Izumo Kingdom can't spare any manpower, we don't have to worry!"

Chu Tiancheng said quickly.

Master Chongde, who was sitting opposite, smiled awkwardly when he heard this.

Seeing this, Lu Rushuang quickly communicated with Chu Tiancheng to tell her not to talk nonsense.

"Master Chongde, there is a war in Izumo Country, so it is normal for several abbots to be unable to spare their manpower."

Lu Rushuang said to Monk Chongde apologetically.

"Yes, the abbots have helped me a lot, and I haven't even had time to say thank you yet."

Xu Taiping nodded solemnly.

"Amitabha... Taiping Donor, let's, let's wait."

Master Chongde clasped his hands together and said in a slightly nervous tone.

Others didn't know Xu Taiping's identity, but he knew that he was a Buddhist protector appointed by the ancient Buddha, and he was a being who could talk to the ancient Buddha Kasyapa.

It would have been better if the eighteen keeper of the scriptures of Yunyin Temple were not involved in this matter. After all, Izumo was in a war, so it would be understandable that the Heavenly Protector could not help. But now that Yunyin Temple has put in so much effort, if the five major Zen temples don't even reply, the favor of the Dharma Protector in the future will definitely be biased towards Yunyin Temple!

"Not to mention responding to all of them, it would be great if one or two temples, especially our Prajna Temple, can respond!"

"Buzz!..."

Just as Master Chongde was muttering in his heart with great anxiety, the jade plate placed on the table suddenly made a trembling sound, and then lit up with a cyan halo.

"coming!"

Monk Chongde was overjoyed.

"Oh, great, the five major Buddhist temples have also responded."

When Chu Tiancheng and Lu Rushuang saw this, they both looked happy. After all, more help would give them a better chance of winning.

But immediately, as lines of writing appeared one after another under the names of several major temples on the jade plate, Chu Tiancheng and Lu Rushuang were stunned again——

"Huiming, the abbot of Pilu Temple, is here to see Lord Heavenly Protector. Lord Heavenly Protector, if you can think of Pilu Temple, it is indeed the glory of Pilu Temple. The young monk will definitely go to Crazy Wolf Village in person and rescue the little fish donor as soon as possible!"

"Abbot Guangze of Prajna Temple, I am honored to be summoned by the Heavenly Protector. I am extremely honored. Whatever you said, Heavenly Protector, just leave it to me at Prajna Temple. The young monk will definitely do his best to save Mr. Xiaoyu! In addition, Heavenly Protector, When can you come to Prajna Temple? There have been frequent attacks from monsters recently. If Lord Protector of Heaven comes here, it will surely boost the morale of the monks in the temple."

"Master Heavenly Protector, Hongci, the abbot of Fenyin Temple, I didn't expect you, Master Heavenly Protector, would still remember Xiaoyu! Regarding the matter of Crazy Wolf Village, Master Heavenly Protector, please rest assured. I will go to fetch the sacred objects from Fenyin Temple right now, and I will definitely bring Xiaoyu there. Girl rescued!"

"Ciji Temple Abbot Zhiqing, pays respect to Lord Tianhufa! Lord Tianhufa, I finally have news from you. The day before yesterday, the ancient Buddha Kasyapa sent me a dream, asking me to keep an eye on your movements. Lord Tianhufa, don't worry, I will rush to the Crazy Wolf Village. Although monsters have often attacked in recent years, our company is blessed by the ancient Buddha Kasyapa, and the monks have been recuperating for a long time. How dare this small Crazy Wolf Village be so rampant!"

"Lord Tianhufa, the abbot of the White Horse Temple, Qingde, has received the order. The White Horse Temple will definitely be able to flatten the Crazy Wolf Village! But Lord Tianhufa, can you help my White Horse Temple ask Master Kasyapa for some merits recently? The monks in the temple have been practicing much slower than before..."

Not only Chu Tiancheng and Lu Rushuang, but also the monk Chongde were stunned by these words.

"This... is really the abbots I know?"

He said with a confused mind.

Without personally experiencing the noble virtue of Kasyapa's Buddha Light, it is impossible to understand the weight of the three words "Heavenly Protector" in the hearts of several abbots.

Of course, Xu Taiping himself could not understand it.

"I remember that these abbots were not like this before. Could it be that Master Kasyapa told them again... huh?"

Just when Xu Taiping was confused, he suddenly felt two burning eyes staring at him.

Looking up, it was the little nun Lu Rushuang and the seventh princess Chu Tiancheng.

"Taiping, did you really just help them a little?"

Lu Rushuang, who never liked to pry into other people's secrets, couldn't help but ask Xu Taiping after reading what the abbots of the five major temples said on the jade disc.
