That evening, Hei Xinjiu was having dinner when the stuttering voice of Buddhaâs candle came from her spiritual sense:
âAmitabha Buddha, itâs good, itâs good. Knowing your mistakes can improve the situation greatly. The Sea of bitterness is boundless. When you turn back, you will be at the shoreâ¦â
Yun Chujiuâs heart skipped a beat. âSpeak human language!â
âWell, I might have, eighty percent, probably, caused trouble for You!âBuddhaâs candle said guiltily.
Yun chujiu gritted her teeth and asked, âWhat kind of trouble did I cause?â
Buddhaâs candle replied hesitantly, âYou⦠youâll find out soon enough. Actually, itâs not my fault. Itâs all that old bald donkey Wu Langâs faultâ¦â
Yun chujiu did not have the time to complain about how Buddhaâs candle addressed Wu Lang. Just as she was about to ask further, Ling Tianâs voice sounded from outside the door, âVice Principal Yan, something big seems to have happened in the myriad Buddha Sacred Palace.â
Yun Chujiu felt her head buzz. If even Ling Tian knew about it, one could imagine how big the disaster was.
She walked outside and asked, âWhat happened?â
âItâs not good for our people to get too close, but we heard that itâs very noisy over there. It seems to be a huge mess.â
Ling Tian and the restâs activity area was limited to the vicinity of this courtyard, so there was no way for them to know the exact situation.
Yun Chujiu took a deep breath and said, âGuard the courtyard well, Iâll go take a look.â
Yun Chujiu asked Buddhaâs candle as she ran, âTell me, whatâs Going On?â
Buddhaâs candle stammered, âI really didnât do anything. I was just absorbing spiritual energy in the pagoda forest. I donât know if I absorbed too much, but those stone pagodas are all crooked.â
Yun chujiu staggered and almost fell to the ground.
There was a pagoda forest at the back of the main peak of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple. To put it bluntly, those stone pagodas were tombs. All the eminent monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple would be buried in the stone pagodas after they passed away.
The disciples of the same generation would be buried in the same stone pagodas. After a long time, the back of the mountain would form a pagoda forest.
What was the difference between Buddhaâs candle and digging someoneâs ancestral grave? !
âYou really wronged me. I was absorbing psyche power in the forest of pagodas. Besides, even if I wanted to enter the stone tower, I wouldnât be able to!
âHowever, that old bald donkey, Wu Lang, went in these past few nights. It might be his doing.âBuddhaâs candle said angrily.
Yun Chujiuâs heart moved. âYou said that Master Wu Lang has been in the stone tower these past few nights? Which Stone Tower did he enter?â
âHe enters a different tower every day. Heâs sneaky. He must have done something bad.â
âWhy did he go in?â
âHow would I know? ! But it must be something shameful. Otherwise, why would he go in in the middle of the night every time?â
âThen why didnât you tell me earlier?â
Buddhaâs candle said with a guilty conscience, âI, I was afraid that if I told you, you wouldnât let me eat my fill!â
Yun chujiu couldnât be bothered to settle the score with Buddhaâs candle. She warned, âYou hide well. Donât be discovered. Iâll go there immediately.â
While Yun Chujiu and Buddhaâs candle communicated with their spiritual senses, they ran forward with the crowd. The monks didnât seem to be in the mood to pay attention to such an imposter. They continued to rush forward.
After a few turns, they arrived at the back of the main peak of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Hall. Not far away was a forest of pagodas. The stone pagodas were not too tall, only about thirty feet in height. Usually, they were blocked by the tall trees around them, making it difficult for outsiders to peek at them.
The stone pagodas were all over the place. Although they did not collapse, it seemed that they were about to.
Yun chujiu narrowed her eyes. According to Buddhaâs candle, the collapse of these stone pagodas should not have much to do with it. The problem should be with Wu Lang. What exactly was his purpose in entering the stone pagodas?
