Chapter 1117: Meeting Little Autumn Again
Li Qiye and the girls came to the boundary between the Imperial Border and the Devil World. They were standing next to a lake and watching its calm waters.
Chen Baojiao asked: “What are we here for?”
“We’re going to the Nihility Temple.” Li Qiye answered calmly.
“Nihility Temple?” Li Shuangyan was a bit startled: “The temple that Little Autumn always talked about? I thought it was located in this realm.”
“You can say that it is both in the lesser world yet not.” He smiled and threw the Buddhist lotus into the lake.
“Burble! Glop! Burble!” Once it was thrown in the water, the calm lake suddenly boiled. The water whirled around like boiling water.
Li Qiye jumped onto the lotus and told the girls: “Come, this will lead us to the highest point in this world, the Nihility Temple.”
The girls jumped onto the lotus without any hesitation.
“Splashhh!” The unimaginable happened. A huge whirlpool appeared on the lake’s surface and sucked everything inside, including Li Qiye and the others on the lotus flower.
The girls were looking around during the swallowing process. It was swirling quite fast, but not a single drop of water touched them. It seemed that this lake was sucking them into another world.
This scene was truly too magical and bizarre. The girls didn’t know that this lotus had such a use.
After a while, the girls heard a cras.h.i.+ng sound. The water rose again and the swirling water keeping their lotus afloat became tranquil.
They found themselves in the middle of the lake again. If it wasn’t for the different scenery, they would have thought that they didn’t move at all and were still at the same lake as before.
Li Qiye took a quick glance around and said: “We’re here.”
The girls observed their surroundings. There was a medium-sized mountain in front of them, but it gave off quite an incredible feeling, as if it encompa.s.sed all the spirit energy and Buddhist affinity in this world. The mountain itself had a layer of zen and the most profound and complex dharma.
This was a seemingly ordinary yet completely extraordinary mountain. It didn’t have towering Buddhist lights or an extraordinary presence. However, it had the appearance of being washed by countless years. It resembled a meditating Buddha that had been freed from the withering of time.
There was an old and small temple at the top. No one knew when it was built since it was too archaic to make out any discernible clues.
Those with sharp eyes would be able to see a plaque at the entrance. It looked like it was about to fall down and had the words “Nihility Temple” written on it.
The words were almost too faint to see. They had been baptized by the endless time and faded into blurriness.
While looking at this wondrous temple, Bai Jianzhen became cautious and asked: “What kind of temple is Nihility? How does it compare to the eighteen temples on Spirit Mountain?”
“The eighteen temples cannot compare to it at all.” Li Qiye noticed her vigilance and slowly explained: “All the monks here right now are retired Buddhist Lords.”
“These monks were all Buddhist Lords from the Buddhist Kingdom?” The girls were frightened after hearing this.
Just think about it, the Eight-faced Radiant Bodhisattva was enough to scare G.o.dkings. Just what kind of existences are these Buddhist Lords then?
This seemingly inconspicuous old temple had monks who used to be Buddhist Lords. Just how frightening was this?
