Chapter 304: Chapter 303: The Damn Thing Really Is Holding Back a Big Move! Master Ci Yun broke the ice revealing Qin Liuxi’s background as soon as he spoke, unable to completely hide his familiarity, as with an old friend of Wuxiang Temple’s Abbot Hui Neng. "It seems that Master and Master Hui Neng are also well-acquainted," said Qin Liuxi with a smile. Master Ci Yun: "All under Buddhism are one family; being a member of the Buddhist Sect, it’s only natural to know each other." "So it’s because your Buddhist Sect is free from desires and demands. If it were us from the Mystic Sect, we’d definitely be vying for supremacy," Qin Liuxi said, touching her nose. The tone of the child made Master Ci Yun smile; he looked at her with eyes full of compassion and said, "You are very good. With you in Qingping Temple, it will surely become the foremost of the Mystic Sect in the future. As long as your Dao heart is stable and you slay evil to uphold the righteous path, all in the Mystic Sect will look up to you as their leader." Qin Liuxi, who was somewhat prideful, quickly straightened her expression, "Please don’t put me on such a high pedestal; I really can’t bear it." Master Ci Yun didn’t say much, still smiling lightly, as if watching a petulant younger generation. Qin Liuxi coughed, "Since you could predict my visit, do you know why I have come?" "The Buddha did not specify." Qin Liuxi: "!" Your Buddha isn’t home, is he? Qin Liuxi first asked about the matter of the Evil Buddha, "Did Master Hui Neng tell you about the evil ghost that escaped from hell, the one named Siluo, the Evil Buddha?" Master Ci Yun nodded, "I have heard of it." "Have you found him?" Master Ci Yun shook his head, "The Evil Buddha is also an Evil Buddha, yet still a Buddhist Practitioner. Siluo’s misdeeds against all living things were a disgrace to our Buddhist Sect. Back then, it took a joined effort of both the Buddhist and Taoist sects to subdue and lock him in the Nine Netherworld. Now he has escaped, showing that his strength is gradually recovering. If he hides and lies in wait, it won’t be within our power to find him anytime soon." Siluo was an Evil Buddha from thousands of years ago, whose evil deeds had shocked the Three Realms. Even when imprisoned in the Nine Netherworld with his power weakened, the saying goes that even a decayed boat has three nails left. His escape indicated the strength of his power. Thousands of years have passed; the Buddhist and Mystic Sects surely have always existed. However, due to the lack of Spiritual Energy, few of the great spiritual beings that ascended to immortality remained in the world. But now, there was newfound hope. Master Ci Yun looked at Qin Liuxi with increasingly affectionate eyes. Qin Liuxi felt the hairs on her skin stand on end as she spoke, "Master, please don’t look at me like that; I’m not entering the Buddhist Sect." "As long as you care for all living things, no matter which path you take, you are a model for our peers, and a blessing for the living," Ci Yun said with a smile. Qin Liuxi almost rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Does Master know if Siluo’s Physical Body was intact when he was captured?" Master Ci Yun was taken aback: "Why do you ask?" Qin Liuxi said, "Actually, I came to ask if Master knows of any high monk or Buddha from your sect whose Buddha Bone might be scattered outside." Upon hearing this, and combining it with her previous question, Master Ci Yun’s brow furrowed, "Follow me." He stood up and walked outside the Zen Room, with Qin Liuxi following behind. Master Ci Yun arrived at the Scripture Collection Hall of Ningyun Temple, where an old monk was standing guard. Upon seeing him, the monk put his hands together and gave a Buddhist salute, glancing at Qin Liuxi behind him. Qin Liuxi gave a slight nod in greeting. After the old monk looked at her, he continued with his own work, drying the scripture scrolls. Master Ci Yun led Qin Liuxi up to the second floor of the Scripture Pavilion. Rows upon rows of shelves were filled with scrolls of scriptures and texts. He walked to the very end, looked up, and said to Qin Liuxi, "On the second row, third column, take out the sixth drawer." Following his instructions, Qin Liuxi retrieved the scripture scroll from that drawer. The scroll was yellowed but not brittle; it seemed to have been soaked in some kind of medicinal solution to prevent decay and insects. Moving to a brighter area, Qin Liuxi unrolled the scripture scroll. It contained a passage of text that was not detailed but resolved Qin Liuxi’s question. It was recorded in "Silo’s biography" that the Buddhist and Taoist Sects laid the Heaven and Earth Net Formation to annihilate the Evil Buddha Siluo. Siluo self-detonated while trying to escape, and his Primordial Spirit was captured and imprisoned in the Nine Netherworld. The Buddha Bone was divided into nine parts and hidden within the nine major Buddhist temples. Qin Liuxi’s pupils constricted as she looked towards Master Ci Yun, "The nine major Buddhist temples from back then, do they still exist?" Master Ci Yun gave a bitter smile, "Thousands of years have passed, and now there are only a few genuine thousand-year-old temples: one in Heavenly Mountain, another in Shengjing, and the third is overseas in Penglai. The rest have been obliterated by the sands of time." "What about Siluo’s Buddha Bone?" Master Ci Yun nodded, "If it was hidden in the nine major Buddhist temples, then it would have perished along with them." "What if it wasn’t?" Master Ci Yun stared at her steadily. Qin Liuxi took out the section of the Buddha Bone wrapped in talisman paper from her waist and handed it over. Even though it was wrapped in talisman paper, as soon as Master Ci Yun accepted it, he immediately saw glimpses of a distant past. His brows knitted together, showing a trace of pain, as if he were struggling through something, causing his normally peaceful expression to become twisted and contorted. Seeing this, Qin Liuxi realized something was wrong and quickly snatched the Buddha Bone back from his hand. Noticing the relic was scorching hot, as if trying to break free, she cursed under her breath, bit her fingertip, and drew a suppression talisman directly onto the wrapped talisman. The Buddha Bone calmed down. Master Ci Yun also opened his eyes; his body wobbled, and his face turned somewhat pale. Putting aside any concern for herself, Qin Liuxi tucked the Buddha Bone back into her waistband and hurriedly supported him: "Master, are you alright?" Master Ci Yun shook his head, "This monk is fine." "I’m sorry, I didn’t know the Buddha Bone would affect you so profoundly." Qin Liuxi felt his pulse and said, "Master, your pulse is irregular. Let’s go back to the Zen Room and rest." Master Ci Yun saw the guilt on her face and reassured her with a smile, "It’s nothing. This monk is already ninety-one. Even if I were to pass away in peace, I would have no fear." Qin Liuxi felt even more remorseful: "Don’t say such things, let’s go." She returned the scripture scroll to its original place and helped Master Ci Yun out of the Scripture Collection Hall, and they went back to the Zen Room to sit down. She poured him a cup of warm water, then spontaneously took paper and pen and quickly wrote a prescription. She stepped outside and instructed a young monk to gather the herbs and brew a medicinal soup. Master Ci Yun was regulating his breath while watching her bustle about in circles, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. Settling back down, Qin Liuxi looked at him with concern, "Should I give you an acupuncture treatment?" Master Ci Yun shook his head and glanced at her waist. He said, "When this monk was holding the Buddha Bone just now, a vague vision appeared in my mind. If I’m not mistaken, it was the image of a fighting scene, and the telekinetic force transmitted from it shook my soul to its core." "Fighting?" Master Ci Yun’s expression became somewhat solemn, "This must be the Buddha Bone of Evil Buddha Siluo from that time." Qin Liuxi wasn’t surprised. She had her suspicions. The Evil Buddha had reemerged in the world, and now there was a Buddha Bone with malice emerging; who’s to say there wasn’t a connection between the two? Qin Liuxi stammered, "You don’t mean to say Siluo, that undying creature, is hiding out with the intention to retrieve the nine-section Buddha Bone and reconstruct his physical body?" Damn it, this bastard was definitely plotting something big!
