584 Walking under the Light of Buddha (2/2)
The wooden sword on Ye Su's back seemed to sense something, and started buzzing softly.
Tang's right foot broke a brick.
Ye Su looked up at the skies and frowned slightly. He said, ”The Buddhism Sect has remained silent for ten thousand years. I had not expected them to hide such a powerful skill. My sword can cross, but I can't.”
Tang looked down at the shattered brick beneath his feet. He said softly, ”I'll try to cross from the underground.”
The two arrived at the back of Lanke Temple.
Looking at the tightly shut black temple door in front of him and feeling the changes in that temple, Ye Su suddenly became extremely shocked. He said emotionally, ”My teacher had sensed something at the Southern Sea, so he had me return from the north to come and see. However, I don't think he expected this to be what I'd find.”
At the back of Lanke Temple.
Ning Que's finger had not managed to draw the complete line in the air when the bell started chiming. So he did not continue. Instead, he steeled his sense of perception and stood there, prepared to face the onslaught of Buddha's power.
The Yue laan Bell was indeed an instrument Buddha which was kept close to him. A benevolent Buddhist aura entered his ears together with the chiming of the bell and into his sense of perception.
In an instant, innumerable hallucinations appearred in Ning Que's mind. Those filthy and ugly devils that could not be described in words, and equally indescribable charming fairies continue to shuttle to and fro. They were both seductive and terrifying, and they led him toward the holy land or the Underworld.
Ning Que's sense of perception was tugged on strongly and he was in unbearable pain. However, his sense of perception contained fragments of Master Lotus' consciousness. And in a short time, he awoke from the hallucinations.
Having ascertained that Buddha's Yue laan Bell was not as powerful as it was supposed to be, and that he would be able to survive even if he had not yet entered the Knowing Destiny State, he decided to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
The Yue laan Bell had not affected him.
He looked at Master Boshu who stood in front of him and prepared for a bloody battle.
However, Master Boshu's expression was very odd.
Boshu stared at him in surprise and apparent confusion.
The expressions of other people in the hall were also very odd.
They looked at him as if they had seen a ghost. They were shocked and frightened, as well as confused.
Ning Que looked down at his body and found that there wasn't anything weird about it. He had not suddenly gained an empty hole in his chest like Long Qing, so he began to think that something odd was happening.
He looked up at Boshu and everyone else in the hall.
Suddenly, he felt extremely frightened.
Because he finally realized that they were not looking at him, but behind him.
Ning Que turned around.
Sangsang sat on the futon.
Her face was very pale. There were flecks of blood on the ground in front of her. The blood was not from her coughing, but from vomiting.
The chiming of the bell continued to reverberate in Lanke Temple.
There was a puff.
Another mouthful of blood spurted from her lips. It drenched the black cotton robes she wore and the green-tiled floor.
A ray of the Light of Buddha appeared and penetrated through the temple, landing on her body.
The Light of Buddha seemed so merciful yet cruel.
In the Light of Buddha, Sangsang's face became paler and her frail body seemed much smaller.
She looked at Ning Que outside the Light of Buddha as tears flowed from her eyes silently.
Master Boshu looked at Sangsang in shock, as did Quni Madi, Cheng Ziqing and Cheng Lixue.
Everyone in the temple looked at Sangsang in extreme shock.
As if they had seen a ghost.
Master Qishan sighed bitterly.
Master Boshu nattered with a complex expression, ”Buddha is benevolent, so that's it.”
Master Qishan looked at Ning Que and said painfully, ”The truth is what you have seen. You are not Yama's son, while she is Yama's daughter.”
Ning Que felt as if he had been abandoned by the world as he looked at Sangsang who was in extreme pain within the Light of Buddha. This was how he had felt in that woodshed many years ago.
If he had to choose what he wanted, then he would choose to be abandoned by the world.
The reason why he felt abandoned by the world was that he knew that he would choose what he wanted to choose. Just like many years ago, he still chose to pick up that chopper.
Since he had made the decision, then it wasn't the world that had abandoned him.
He was the one abandoning the world.
He walked into the Light of Buddha and opened the big black umbrella, shielding Sangsang.
