Chapter 355 – Buddha Lit Up! (1/2)
Chapter 355: Buddha lit up!
Li s.h.i.+nian's countenance also underwent a change, on her face there was no sadness nor happiness; it was solemn and respectful.
Her light pink robe billowed out around her, like a gust of wind had blown and was about to take the intelligent and charming little girl away.
Li Muyang, finally noticing the strangeness of his sister, yelled out, “s.h.i.+nian——”
Cui Xiaoxin although she felt that the way Li Muyang addressed Li s.h.i.+nian was not appropriate, and sounded strange, but when she noticed the look on Li s.h.i.+nian's face, she also couldn't help but feel terrified.
Ascending to an immortal or being possessed by a demon, only takes one thought.
Li s.h.i.+nian had entered into a hypnotised state, a little carelessness and she may encounter danger, her soul scattering off. Such consequences are not what they were willing to bear.
She wanted to call for help, but right now the only people that can help Li s.h.i.+nian were Song Tao and the monks in Thousand Buddha Temple. As they searched for Buddha statues, they had almost reached the summit of White cloud mountain. Even if she tries to run back, it most likely would be too late.
Cui Xiaoxin did not cultivate martial arts; she only attached importance to scholarly knowledge. By her side there was only Taohong and Liulu and the two cart drivers, there was not one person that she could discuss what to do with.
She was burning with worries but was afraid of disturbing s.h.i.+nian, fearful that it would make things worse and would push s.h.i.+nian into being possessed by demons.
Taohong and Liulu noticed a very worried look on her face, though did know how to comfort her. Even now they still did not know what was going on.
“Miss s.h.i.+nian is very clever——”
“Miss s.h.i.+nian is very powerful——”
“Miss s.h.i.+nian was just standing there, nothing had happened——”
These were the thoughts that the two little servant girls had all along. They have long been impressed by Li s.h.i.+nian's ability to find the Buddha statues.
Li Muyang came forward to stand next to Cui Xiaoxin, his voice low and comforting as he said, “Nothing will happen.”
Cui Xiaoxin's brows were furrowed deeply, asking with a questioning tone of voice, “How do you know?”
“Look carefully at Miss s.h.i.+nian's expression.” Li Muyang said.
Cui Xiaoxin carefully studied her face, finding that Li s.h.i.+nian was still in that trance state.
“Her eyes are clear and bright, with no signs of pain or discomfort on her face.” Li Muyang explained. “Just like when you are absorbed in a book, absorbed in writing, and absorbed by the beauty of cherry blossoms. She is just absorbed in searching for the Buddha statues.”
It was only then that Cui Xiaoxin felt a little relieved, glad that Li s.h.i.+nian was fine. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to explain to the parents of her good friend.
The news of the big brother's death had just came and now the little sister had went crazy from searching for Buddha statues. Any parent would not be able to bear such a blow.
However, after listened to Li Muyang's explanation, that extremely weird feeling in Cui Xiaoxin's heart was. .h.i.tting her again.
She had always felt that the Cart driver Li Mu was somewhat strange, though she was not sure in what ways.
Perhaps, that was his nature?
Or perhaps, it was because of the fact that he had saved her? So she always felt a little uncomfortable deep inside?
Li s.h.i.+nian was not aware of the thoughts of others, but she did not need to trek up the mountain to search for Buddha statues anymore.
Because in her eyes, the Buddha statues all across the mountain were clearly present.
The foot of the mountain, by the mountainsides. Near and far. As well as the unreachable mountain summit, she had never seen their true face.
Collecting sh.e.l.ls at the seash.o.r.e, the seash.o.r.e suddenly vanished.
The stars in the sky, the sky was empty as before.
Li s.h.i.+nian was no longer searching for Buddha, but counting the Buddhas.
Her small face looked up, scanning across the countless Buddha statues, and pointing to each one with her finger.
“——One——”
“——Two——”
“——Three——”
The most astonis.h.i.+ng thing happened.
Every time Li s.h.i.+nian pointed to a Buddha statue in the void, the corresponding position that the statue was at would produce a huge blaze of divine light, a beam of golden light suddenly exploded out, pa.s.sing through the mountain and piercing through the forest, and directly shot to the sky.
Each Buddha statue that she pointed at, there was an explosion of golden light.
She counted a dozen of Buddha statues in a row, and a dozen beams of golden light shot up into the sky.
There was a sweet sounding sound, and then an exotic fragrance.
Outside of the Ninth Heaven there were claps of thunder, like a giant gate was rumbling open.
Everybody stood astonished at the sight of this scene.
In the back courtyard of Thousand Buddha Temple backyard, Priest Moaoxin trotted out a room, ignoring the distinguished guests around, and gazed at the beams of golden light above White cloud mountain with a joyful look on his face.
“The Buddhist connection is deep——the Buddhist connection is deep——”
On the summit of White cloud Mountain, an old monk in hemp garments was walking slowly along the mountain path carrying firewood.
When he saw a Buddha statue hidden in the gra.s.s suddenly exude a golden light, he threw away the firewood, straightened his curved back, eyes flas.h.i.+ng, and his grey clothes impacted by the golden light, was glowing a divine light.
He looked up to the sky with a hopeful face, unable to conceal the excitement in his voice as he murmured: “Flowers bloom to see the Buddha, leaves fall to see Buddha. The spring breeze and winter snow all have Buddha nature. The heavenly maids scatter blossoms, Buddha lit up. A rare spectacle——My Buddhism has a successor.”
Li Muyang stared wide-eyed at Li s.h.i.+nian, thinking what is this situation? His sister is also a dragon?
