Xiao Xue, who was wrapped in golden light, seemed to have eaten more than a dozen pills. The injuries on her body healed quickly, and the spiritual and physical energy that had been consumed was restored again.
"I am dead?"
The warm feeling made Xiao Xue slowly open his eyes, but when he saw the lotus pond on his side, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Because she remembered that she was in the desert, and this was another world. Doesn't that mean she was dead?
"Amitabha, Mr. Xiao Zhen is still waiting for you to rescue him. This temple does not dare to let you die like this."
Just as Xiao Xue was looking at the sky in confusion, a bhikshuni's voice sounded from the side, telling her to look up immediately.
"This, Master, this, is this Wenfo Nunnery?"
Seeing the bhikshuni, Xiao Xue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up, glanced around, and then focused on the bhikshuni.
"Yes, this is Wenfo'an. Although you have not met the test standards I want, seeing that you are still sincere, I will not go into details.
It’s just that it’s still a little difficult for you to get the three relics.”
The bhikshuni nodded, then stood up and put his hands behind his back, as if they were integrated with the surrounding air.
"Master, my husband's life is hanging by a thread. I hope Master will be merciful and save him from suffering.
If you have any conditions, just ask me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Xiao Xue knelt directly on the ground as she spoke.
But her knees couldn't touch the ground, they just hung there.
"As the wife of the leader of Maoshan, you naturally know that although Buddhism and Taoism are the same family, there are essential differences.
You are also a Taoist, and you kneel down to me, what consequences can you imagine?"
The bhikshuni smiled and raised her hand, and Xiao Xue stood up directly.
"Master Tai, I am willing to bear the consequences no matter what.
Xiao Xue is an ordinary peasant girl. Even if Buddhism and Taoism do not allow it, I am willing to take away my cultivation. Compared with these, it is not as important as my husband's life.
As long as I can save my husband, I am willing to accept any consequences."
Xiao Xue looked at the bhikshuni and said it sincerely. She had thought about it when she came here. As long as she came to Wenfo Temple, she would definitely get the relics. Even if the other party asked him to cut off his hair and become a nun and accompany him with the green lantern from now on, she would be willing to do so.
.
After all, Xiao Yu is the soul of the entire Maoshan. If his soul is lost, Maoshan will also be a walking corpse, and I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in China.
Moreover, his children have always regarded Xiao Yu as a hero. If they knew that the hero died and their world fell, it would be a heavy blow to the children.
"Amitabha, the donor is in serious condition.
That's not what I said, but if you kneel down to me, Xiao Yu will definitely hold a grudge when he wakes up one day, saying that we threatened you with the relic and asked you to kneel down and ask for it, which will cause conflicts.
Everyone knows that relics are the most precious treasure of our Buddhism, and not just anyone can take them.
But the abbot of Mount Putuo is my senior brother, so since he asks for mercy, I can’t refuse."
Having said this, the bhikshuni paused slightly, as if he wanted some conditions.
"Don't worry, Master. No matter what conditions you set, my husband and I will definitely fulfill them."
Xiao Xue certainly understood that the other party's words were about this, and half of the success was already achieved.
"Amitabha, if that's the case, then I'll say it directly.
In today's world, the road to immortality and Buddhism is bumpy, I just want you to agree to a condition. When the disaster comes for Buddhism, I hope Xiao Zhenjun can help to ensure the safety of Buddhism."
Xiao Xue originally thought that the other party would want some treasure or something else, but she didn't want the other party to say such things.
"Master, don't worry. If the Buddhist and Taoist sect is in trouble, I, Maoshan, will help you."
Xiao Xue didn't dare to agree to anything else. As for this, she could still make the decision. After all, the monk had helped Xiao Yu a lot. Even if the master didn't say anything, he wouldn't stand by and watch.
Xiao Xue didn't know why the other party said such words, but since it could be mentioned now, some clues must have emerged.
"Okay, in that case, I will give you the relics."
As the bhikshuni spoke, she waved her hand in the lotus pond, and a golden lotus slowly appeared from the lotus leaf, then began to fall off, and then a golden lotus pod appeared.
There are exactly three lotus seeds in the lotus pod, no more and no less.
The bhikshuni seemed a little reluctant to part with it, but in the end she gritted her teeth and took off the lotus pod and handed it to Xiao Xue.
"Is this the relic?"
Looking at the lotus pod in her hand, Xiao Xue said in disbelief.
"The relics have various forms, just like thousands of living beings. You just need to go back and give them to the abbot of Mount Putuo, and he will naturally know."
After the bhikshuni finished speaking, she picked a few more lotus pods from the lotus pond and gave them to Xiao Xue for him to take on the way.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Mao, your great kindness will be unforgettable by everyone on Maoshan Mountain.
One day when my husband wakes up, we will say thank you to Deng Bai."
Looking at the things in her hands, Xiao Xue saluted the bhikshuni again.
"Okay, saving people is like putting out fires, you go ahead."
The master smiled and then waved his hand. Xiao Xue seemed to be in a dream. When he raised his head, it was already dark and he had already arrived in the desert.
"Sister Xiao Xue, you are finally out. You have been in there for three days."
As soon as Xiao Xue came out, Xiaobao and Mouse ran over.
"Three days, but how many words did I just say?"
Xiao Xue was extremely happy to get the relic, and she had a lot of smiles on her face when she spoke.
"In some caves, it's normal to say a hundred years in a blink of an eye. It's only been three days, so it's not an exaggeration.
Come on, let’s go back first.”
The mouse turned aside and transformed into a man in black, then grabbed Xiao Xue and flew directly into the sky.
In the backyard of Maoshan, Lao Bai and a group of monks were waiting anxiously.
It has been a month now. Logically speaking, he should have come back long ago, but there is no news yet.
The abbot of Putuo Mountain has always been calm and calm, as if he is not worried about this matter. He is so anxious that he comes to say hello every day.
Two days later, the abbot of Putuo Temple, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, his face full of joy.
"Everyone, the time to witness the miracle is coming, please prepare yourself."
At first, the others didn't know what the other party meant, but when they saw the other party looking at the door, they realized that Xiao Xue must be back.
"Finally here!"
Just as a few people stood up, Xiao Xue ran in from outside, her face full of excitement.
"Master, this is the relic."
Xiao Xue's hand holding the lotus pod was trembling a little. The mouse was flying with her in the sky. She never dared to let go for fear that the thing would fall. Now that she has returned to Maoshan, she is relieved.
"Amitabha, fellow Taoist, thank you for your hard work. The rest will be left to us. You can go and rest."
Several monks took the lotus pods and looked at them, and they all nodded, as if they were very satisfied.
However, at this moment, the abbot of Putuo Mountain suddenly frowned and looked up outside.
Because at this time, an unusually handsome man wearing black clothes strode in with a backpack on his back and a knife in his hand.
"What a monster, you are so brave, daring to break into the important land of Maoshan."
The abbot of the Great Buddha Temple shouted loudly, and the cassock on his body instantly emitted a yellow light, causing any ghost who approached to stop immediately.
Lao Bai was a little surprised at this time. Wu Xuan is a handsome ghost, and now Xiaobao is back, and there are many big demons and an immortal Wang Yao here. How can the other party dare to come in openly?
"I am Xiu Xiang, a disciple of Mr. Hua Tuo. I heard that Xiao Zhenjun's life is hanging by a thread, so I came here to deliver a pair of medicines."
Although the man is a ghost, he is not afraid at all when facing a group of great monks, and his words are neither humble nor arrogant.
“Hua Tuo, Emperor of Medicine?
Are you a disciple of Hua Tuo?
Amitabha, I have offended you so much, please."
A group of monks were startled at first, then hurriedly made way for Xiu Xiang and invited him to the rear.
