Free Web NovelChapter 353: Chapter 129: Xiaojing’s Dream Words Break the Deadlock, A Fortune Spent for Peace of Mind
The air suddenly became quiet... After a long time, the Golden Buddha in the treasure hall vanished without a trace.
In Xinci Temple, all the statues of Buddha completely disappeared.
The Buddha Mother disappeared along with them.
Now, Li Xuan finally had a new understanding of Rose.
Rose, this ’reincarnation of the Buddha Mother,’ was not actually alone, for there truly were other reincarnations existing in this world.
But why was Rose, the reincarnation of the Buddha Mother, so different?
Even now, she couldn’t cultivate?
He should have a word with his daughter when he has the chance.
...
...
Half a month later.
The vast Xinci Temple suddenly disappeared from both Great Yong and Great Yin countries.
The sovereigns of both countries issued a ban: forbidding the worship of Buddha.
They even arrested a large number of monks and burned the Buddhist scriptures.
Li Xuan, who regarded the ’Buddha’ as a tool, didn’t have any particular feelings about ’Buddhism.’ The burning of the scriptures was something he tacitly approved of, intending to use the power of the dynasty to help sever the incense offerings and faith.
This event was documented by historians, named ’The Burning of Scriptures and Imprisonment of Monks.’
The incense offerings gradually faded.
Fading more and more.
On this day, it was the day Jin Tianchan sent off Li Xuan and others.
But Li Xuan was not leaving.
And he had a very good reason for staying.
’The Buddha said he was going on a long journey, and he... left the Buddha Mother with me again.’
As he spoke, he pulled Rose out from behind him.
The petite Buddha Mother had changed back into her purple robes, and on this day of ’great flu and high fever,’ she seemed unaffected.
’Greetings, Sect Leader.’
’Greetings, Foster Mother.’
’Greetings, Senior Sister.’
The Buddha Mother greeted them.
Jin Tianchan: ...
Hua Xiaoying: ...
Luo E: ...
Feng Mengrou: ...
Jin Tianchan, who had been feeling the big commotions outside these days, was quite at a loss for the situation when he saw this noble and supreme Buddha Mother in Xinci Temple.
Hua Xiaoying was also puzzled.
Luo E said, ’Too stimulating.’
Feng Mengrou looked at her in amazement. After leaving Li Xuan, at first, she thought of him day and night, but now, over a year later, for some reason... that ’no one but him’ feeling quickly faded, and recalling that initial fervor, she also felt a kind of indescribable ’dream-like’ sensation.
Luo E said, ’Junior Brother, the Buddha has fulfilled you and the Buddha Mother, so there’s no longer a grudge for insulting the mother.’
Rose confirmed in a soft voice, ’Yes, there’s no grudge.’
Hua Xiaoying looked at Luo E and said, ’Have you recovered from your fever?’
Luo E put her hands on her hips and said, ’Not yet, but I feel much better.’
Hua Xiaoying looked at Jin Tianchan and said, ’Senior Brother, I also feel like I’m getting better.’
Jin Tianchan was uncertain and suspicious, but in fact... he also had that feeling.
As a result, he beckoned to Li Xuan.
The master and disciple discussed for a while, and Li Xuan told the Sect Leader the story he had made up, without mentioning his daughter ’meeting an immortal in a dream,’ and only saying that ’the Buddha became aware of a problem and thus used the method of cutting off incense offerings’ to solve it.
Hearing this, Jin Tianchan was filled with emotion and said, ’I never expected there was really such a great master; I truly misjudged him in the past.’
Li Xuan said, ’Since that’s the case, why not wait a few more days? If everyone improves, then I, as your disciple, won’t need to risk going to sea with the sect.’
Jin Tianchan pondered for a long time and nodded.
...
...
In a blink, another month passed.
Lingyi Sect ultimately did not leave because Jin Tianchan found that everything had really returned to normal.
Ever since the Buddha severed the incense offerings and left this place, everything had been restored.
On the Bronze Plain, Li Xuan sat on a high spot, casually playing the harmonica with a leaf.
Xiaojing still held a kite in her hand, a tile kite, a super large tile kite bought from the bustling marketplace of the capital.
Li Jin meditated behind the two, eyes closed.
Their father rarely took them out to play, so Li Jin certainly gave face.
Li Xuan’s plan was to take the whole family to travel around Great Yong and Great Yin.
However... half a month ago, after Tian Yuan, Zhao Qingxue, and Wei Yao’s cold symptoms improved, the three women only felt refreshed and exceptionally good in condition. Luo E, with a thought, took the magic stone to test their aptitude.
The result almost scared Luo E witless.
Tian Yuan lasted for a full one and a half hours.
Zhao Qingxue lasted for more than an hour.
Wei Yao was slightly weaker, lasting only half an hour.
The talent of Tian Yuan and Zhao Qingxue not only surpassed Li Xuan’s record but also exceeded the subsequent record of Li Jin. This means that the two women’s aptitude in cultivation had reached the ’extraordinary prodigy’ level, especially Tian Yuan.
At least, that’s what Lingyi Sect believed.
This was a blessing in disguise.
As a result, the three women stayed in the sect completely, beginning their arduous cultivation lives.
And the one who truly accompanied Li Xuan out was, instead, the ’Buddha Mother’ Rose.
After finishing a tune, Li Xuan looked at his daughter beside him and smiled, ’Why do you think your mother’s aptitude is so good, even better than yours and mine?’
Xiaojing blinked and said in a tender voice, ’I don’t know.’
Li Xuan hugged her shoulder, pulling her into his embrace, and laughed, ’I don’t know either, but in the future, we’ll be outdone by your mom and have no status at home.’
In fact, how could he not know?
Tian Yuan was close to him and gave birth to Li Jin.
Zhao Qingxue was close to him and gave birth to Xiaojing.
Whether there was a special infection of ’demonic blood subtly influencing’ it was yet to be known, but in the reversal of yin and yang in chaos, it indeed achieved great benefits.
However, could such a thing be replicated?
It was extremely difficult.
First, you need to be an ordinary person.
Second, you need a husband like ’Li Xuan.’
Then, you need to give birth to a ’reincarnated Great Demon’ son or daughter.
And then you need to be in a country rich with incense offerings, happen to encounter Chaos Power, and happen for the deity worshipped to just leave directly, thus... bringing a happy end.
How could such a thing be replicated?
Li Xuan pondered, then stood up, grabbed the tile kite and shook it, calling, ’Son, want to fly a kite together?’
Sitting cross-legged and resembling a colossal statue, Li Jin glanced at his father and said faintly, ’No need.’
’I’ll do it!’
Xiaojing jumped up, then rested her chin in her hand, looking at Rose beside her, and said, ’Auntie is the weakest.’
She was referring to Rose’s strength.
Among the four here, it was only Rose who was an ordinary person, while she and Li Jin were already impacting Dual-Cultivation Secret Martial Arts.
Rose raised her head and said, ’Auntie, as the Buddha Mother, doesn’t need to learn anything.’
This was her last bit of stubbornness.
Li Xuan hugged Xiaojing and said, ’If you have the chance to dream of an immortal again, ask how to deal with your auntie’s situation and whether she can cultivate.’
Xiaojing blushed and said, ’It’s not like you can just dream whenever you want.’
Li Xuan laughed, ’Do your best.’
He started running with the kite, Xiaojing following, her soft boots treading on the slightly yellow, hard grass.
The little girl seemed to rarely play with these things, but at this moment, she was full of interest, brimming with joy.
