Chapter 355 – Buddha Lit Up! (2/2)
“Is the Heaven playing a joke on me? It's fine that I'm a dragon, but you also had to make my sister a dragon. If so, we will inevitably suffer slaughtering from the humans. Even if I risk my life, I will protect her from any harm.” Li Muyang could hardly contain his indignation. “
“No, she can't be a dragon. If she were a dragon, she would know the way to hide. Moreover, Buddha is a deity, while the Dragon is only a half-divine being. I have never heard that a half-divine being can command the deities——but, who can tell me what this is all about?” ——
Li s.h.i.+nian was still counting.
Her slender, fair fingers pointing out, her red lips softly murmuring: “101, 102, 103——”
Cui Xiaoxin was trembling nervously, then subconsciously grasped Li Muyang's arm, and said: “Will s.h.i.+nian be okay? Will she be okay?”
“She'll be fine——” Li Muyang said unconfidently. It was a realm of deities, a world he had never seen before. How could he know whether she would be fine or not?
Any mortal who wants to pry into the realm of deities has to pay a heavy price.
If lucky, one would only turn crazy; the worst case is being struck by lightning.
Who's to say it's going to be okay?
Li Muyang was secretly storing power, no matter what, he will protect Li s.h.i.+nian from any harm. Even if it means he has to expose his Dragon ident.i.ty.
Li Muyang was also beginning to tense up. He feared that his silly sister had unconsciously entered into a realm that he did not know of. Then bringing trouble to herself, and putting her life at risk.
Li s.h.i.+nian was still counting.
“210——”
“211——”
“212——”
Clang—
Inside of Thousand Buddha Temple, the thousand-pounds ancient bell hung next to a rock statue was ringing by itself.
It was imposingly deep and resounding, but also very sweet-sounding.
Long and distant, as if from the ancient times.
Clang——
Another bell rang——
“Miss Xiaoxin——”
“Miss Xiaoxin——”
A man in blue strode towards this side.
Everyone recognised that it was the uniform of the bodyguards of the Song family.
The man in blue strode over to before Cui Xiaoxin, shouting, “Miss Xiaxoin, our family's Young Master has an urgent matter that he needs to return to Tiandu for, I came to let you know——”
When he bowed, his line of sight coincidentally fell on the hand of Cui Xiaoxin who was clutching the sleeve of Li Muyang. He stared blankly for a second before his eyes flashed an ominous glint.
“What exactly is this cart driver's ident.i.ty? Why would he be so close to the young Miss of the Cui family?” The man in blue speculated in his mind.
“What? Third elder brother has to return?” Cui Xiaoxin was now worrying about Li s.h.i.+nian's situation, and to hear from a bodyguard that Song Tao needs to head down the mountain to attend to an urgent matter, she felt utterly confused.
He said that he wants to stay a few days at Thousand Buddha Temple to write out 1000 copies of 'The Sutra of the Medicine Buddha' to pray for blessings for his Grandfather.
Cui Xiaoxin also planned to stay a few days at Thousand Buddha Temple with Li s.h.i.+nian to pray for Li Muyang's safe return.
What had happened in Tiandu that he needed to hurry back?
“Yes.” The bodyguard answered. “Young master told me to notify you, perhaps he has left already now.”
“Do you know what is the matter?”
“Subordinate does not know.””
That bodyguard's footsteps were heavy, and his voice undisguised, which naturally alarmed Li s.h.i.+nian who was in a trance state.
She blinked her eyes, and the sea of stars before her instantly vanished, and the bells ceased.
Within the surroundings of White cloud Mountain, the hundred beams of golden light also vanished at the same time.
The mountain before them was still a mountain, the tree in front was still a tree. The moon was rising and black clouds rolled across. Everything had returned to its former state.
Li s.h.i.+nian noticed the strange gaze that the bodyguard and the others looked at her with, and asked: “What? What's going on?”
Cui Xiaoxin had no time to explain to Li s.h.i.+nian, reached to grasp her sleeve and said: “Third elder brother said he's going back. Let's go over and see.”
“Ah? Third young master Song has to go back, great——” Li s.h.i.+nian was still in a state of confusion, and almost shouted out her thoughts. It was when Cui Xiaoxin looked her with a puzzled face that she knew she had said something wrong, and hurriedly corrected the sentence. “If third young master has to go back, then Sister Xiaoxin will be mine's alone.”
Cui Xiaoxin grasped Li s.h.i.+nian's hand, saying: “Third elder brother is leaving in such a hurry, something must have happened in Tiandu. Quickly come with me to see.”
“Yes.” Li s.h.i.+nian said as Cui Xiaoxin dragged her along, Taohong and Liulu following closely behind on both sides.
Li Muyang and Cui Meng these two cart drivers also followed behind. Their master was running, they naturally had to follow them.
The man in blue looked at the rear figures of Li Muyang and Cui Meng, frowning, but did not say anything else and just followed the crowd towards the temple hall.
At the summit of White cloud mountain, a grey-robed elder body stood by the edge of a cliff, gently sighing: “Unfortunate. Unfortunate——if all one thousand Buddhas are lit overnight, another Buddha will descend to my Buddhism.”
