Chapter 41:41. Your Highness Should Have Been Dead

Xia Ji strolled around the Sixth Peak’s treasury.
After looking through the magic tools, there were some mortal weapons, followed by hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, incense copper stoves, literary toys, brush and ink, rhinoceros horn, ivory, precious jade, and other rare stones. There were also some medicinal pills that could recover injuries, restore true qi, detoxify and clear the mind. He did not care about these medicinal pills.
What he was interested in was that it was rumored that there were many precious pills here. There were even pills that could directly increase one’s true energy cultivation by decades, recover almost all of one’s true energy in an instant, and improve one’s root bone aptitude by changing one’s meridians and cleansing one’s marrow..All these could be said to be miraculous and called wonderful pills.
However, because the Thunder Sound Monastery’s pill formula had been lost, the pills passed down from the ancestors were used up one by one. Twenty years ago, the last wondrous pill had been used up, and now the rest were all ordinary pills.
“Rumor has it that Thunder Sound Temple was once prosperous in ancient times.
The top of the mountain is in the middle of the sky, and the root is connected with the Meridian of Meru. Yao grass fragrant Hui, Qi flower purple Zhi, immortal ape white crane, green phoenix colorful phoenix, pearl watchtower treasure pavilion. The Heaven Seat King, the Hall of Protectors, the Stupa Tower, the Ubachi Flower Pond, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas…
Now, only a scale and claw are left, and they are no longer as glorious as before.”
Xia Ji sighed with emotion. In fact, just by looking at the conduct of the divine monk who came out of Thunder Sound Monastery and the previous abbot, he knew that the temple had really declined. The true inheritance from before had probably been cut off. Other than two or three scriptures and a few Buddha statues, there was nothing else.
Even the Buddha statue had very little mental energy left, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easily absorbed by him.
Of course, there was also the Xuan formation.
The Demon Suppression Formation and the Arhat Formation.
He asked Jian Kong and Zi Zai.
Zizai only knew that these two great formations were based on the land, rooted here, and gathered the spirit of heaven and earth.
The tree could still survive if it was moved, but this kind of mountain-suppressing formation would be destroyed if it was moved.
However, the activation of the Xuan formation required a secret technique. This secret technique had always been passed down to only one person. In this generation, the Demon Suppressing Formation was passed down to the abbot, and the Arhat Formation was passed down to the Void Consciousness. With the death of these two people, the secret technique to activate the formation was broken.
However, all of this was not without clues. There were hundreds of thousands of documents in the Sixth Peak’s treasury. These documents were the notes of Zen Masters and had been stacked for thousands of years. There might be information in them, but the documents were tattered. Many of them had even been bitten by bookworms. They were tattered and disorderly. If one wanted to find some clues, it would be no better than finding needles in the river. They needed to be carefully searched.
This was a hard job, and Zizai said that he would let the Zen monk check it every day.
After all, if they could find the secret techniques to use the two Xuan Formations, the new Thunder Sound Temple would be able to stand firm.
After handing this task to the monk.
Xia Ji walked towards the ninth summit.
Mount Meru still had one last hidden danger, and that was the old monk guarding the treasure of the Bitter Sea.
Xia Ji had met him once.
Now, he was going to see him for the second time.
The first time was to arrest the prince and come to learn from him.
This time, it was completely different.
It was late in winter, and the rosy clouds were like blood. The cliffs on both sides had already piled up thicker and thicker clouds. They were misty and misty. The unmelted white snow sucked away the little temperature of the world, making this peak even colder and more desolate, heartless and heartless.
The old monk was still sitting across from the chessboard. When he saw Xia Ji, he shouted, ‘”‘ All actions are impermanent. Everything in the world is in the process of being born, changing, and dying. Last time, it was benefactor. This time, it’s Buddha. I’m not wrong in my judgment.
Xia Ji sat on the stone chair opposite him and smiled. “”However, you only severed 30% of your demonic nature. Otherwise, the situation would be very different. This is also the monk’s cause.”
Back then, when the abbot had judged that he was 70% Buddha and 30% Devil, he had received Concubine Wan’s special care. If the judgment had given him 10% Devil, then it would not just be a matter of special care… The judgment given by the abbot must have come from the old monk.
The old monk had said that it was true.
The abbot immediately sent a message back to the palace. This was a problem.
However, even though the old monk had said it, he had lied because the old monk knew that the chess piece that they had discussed had nothing to do with the three-point demon. However, he still only said that it was a three-point demon. That was also a problem.
In short, he wanted to ‘protect’ Xia Ji.
The old monk smiled. ” This is not my fault, but Your Highness ‘fault.
Because…” Your Highness is worth this old monk’s effort.”
“If you knew this would happen, what if you were sentenced again?” Xia Ji asked.
“No change,” the old monk said indifferently.
“Unchanged?”
“No change.”
Xia Ji laughed out loud and asked, ” Then how much of a devil do you think I am now? ”
The old monk smiled and stared at the young prince in front of him for a long time. Then, he put his palms together and said softly, “”Your Highness…lt’s spotless and very buddha.”
Xia Ji stopped laughing and looked at the old monk. After a long time, he suddenly asked, “”How long will the monk sit there for?”
“Your feet have become roots,” the old monk said.”When you take root here, you will be forever.”
After saying that, the old monk slowly moved. Xia Ji then noticed that the old monk’s legs were actually tree roots. They were twisted and knotted, densely packed, and hidden under the chessboard.
When he moved, the tree roots were like hundreds of pythons swimming slowly. This was not an illusion, so this old monk in front of him…
“This old monk was originally a Saha Tree. In ancient times, I obtained the spiritual seed of Meng Kai and nurtured my spiritual embryo for thousands of years. Now, I’ve only woken up for a hundred years. Because I was infected by the Buddha’s will on Mount Meru, I was born with the appearance of an old monk.
Your Highness, you don’t have to worry about me. In my opinion, this Thunderclap Temple should have been the land of Buddha and has been stained with dust for a long time…
Now that Your Highness is in charge, this old monk is very happy.”
Xia Ji thought for a moment and roughly understood.
The old monk had deliberately told the abbot the judgment of ” 70% Buddha, 30% Devil. ” Perhaps he had wanted to kill the abbot in the first place so that the entire Leiyin Temple could be reborn and rejuvenated.
He had taken a fancy to her.
However, there was nothing he could do at the peak of the mountain. He could only push the boat with the right amount of strength when the situation fell on his side. A peck and a peck were destined. Therefore, when he saw himself, he understood that the cause that was planted had reaped the fruit that should have been sown. That was why he smiled.
This could not be considered a scheme, but it could be considered the old monk’s move. It was him adding fuel to the fire.
“What can that monk teach me?” Xia Ji asked.
“I can tell you the secret method to activate the two great Xuan formations, Demon Suppression and Arhat,” the old monk said.
Other than that, it was the whereabouts of Thunder Sound Temple’s inheritance.
According to the abbot a hundred years ago, the eighth peak was originally a place where ancient eminent monks and mighty figures recited scriptures. It had been abandoned since then, and now the mountain ridge outside the sea of clouds had become the lair of many great demons.
However, these great demons were grateful for the ethics of humans and the benevolence of the Buddhism Sect, so they did not do evil. Instead, many of the lost books of Thunder Sound Temple were hidden by these great demons. These books were not stolen by them, but when Thunder Sound Temple was facing a great calamity, they quietly took them away. It was also a kind of protection and continuation of the inheritance of the secret treasures.
If Your Highness wants to read the scriptures, when the time is right, you can go and find those demons.”
Xia Ji thought of the vixen that the Ninth Princess had met, and then he thought of the phrase ” she wanted a Great Shang royal family that could tolerate demons He asked, “”Has the demon encountered a great calamity?
The old monk said, ” I was born of heaven and earth, so I know some of the techniques of observing the qi of heaven and earth. When my complexion is bright, I will be vigorous; when my complexion is dark, I will be decadent. If the gas is red, it will be very rich; if the gas is black, it will cause disaster; if the gas is purple, it will be very expensive.
Now…Although everything in the world was normal, the black gas that blotted out the sky was slowly pressing down. If his prediction was right, an unprecedented killing tribulation was about to arrive. The demon race was also a living being, so they naturally could not escape this killing tribulation.
Similarly, I can’t escape, His Highness can’t escape, and no one can escape. Some people didn’t understand that this calamity was coming and were muddleheaded.
Some people knew that this killing tribulation was coming, but they were either helpless, hoping for luck, or hiding.
However, there were also some who began to make preparations in order to gain another bargaining chip, another trump card, and another ally in the killing tribulation.
The emperor left the imperial capital, this old monk thinks, is just taking advantage of the situation, and is doing this for this matter.”
“What about the monk’s allies?” Xia Ji asked.
“This old monk is a tree demon. Although not many people know about it, I am still a demon. In the past, demons and humans lived in harmony and it was fine. However, now…This huge world can no longer accommodate demons.”
The old monk smiled and added, ” I won’t tolerate Your Highness. ”
“Why?”
“Because yao are aliens,
And His Highness was an anomaly that had changed his life!
Otherwise…His Highness should not have come to Mount Meru to play chess with me, nor should he have survived the ghost attack. Your Highness should have been dead long ago.”
Xia Ji was speechless.
The old monk continued, ” All living beings have a fate, but it’s not an unchanging fate. Fate can be changed by chance and hard work.
However, for someone like His Highness, it was not something that could be explained by changing his fate.
His Highness had completely changed his life. Therefore, for those who were proficient in observing the stars, His Highness’s existence was as clear as the bright sun in the night sky.
Perhaps it was still hazy at the beginning, but the moment His Highness defended the Imperial City and guarded against Guifang, the weather and fate were in chaos, and the source of everything was His Highness.
That’s why I know. The Great Si Ming, the Little Si Ming of the Heaven Inspectorate, and even His Highness ‘eighth sister know. They have already sent letters to many people. This is also where the abbot’s information came from.
Forgive me for being blunt, but in this world, Your Highness is already an enemy to everyone.”
He finished speaking.
Silence.
After a long time…
Xia Ji smiled and replied gently, ‘
“So what?”
