Chapter 581 – Predestined Buddha
Mount Jiuhua.
The sound of Buddha’s voice lingered, and sandalwood incense curled up.
A figure cloaked in a dark red cloak, with a straight sword at his waist, picked his way up along the straight hiking stone slabs, walking step by step towards the Buddhist temple at the top of the mountain, which was shrouded between the sounds of Brahma.
He stepped onto the last stone slab and slowly stopped.
In front of the ancient and grandiose temple door, Ye Fan stopped for a long time in silence, and finally took a step and walked into the temple.
”Ye Fan.”
Zuo Qing, who had been waiting in the temple for a long time, saw Ye Fan and stood up from the steps in front of the main hall, his brows locked.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Ye Fan raised his hand to stop him and calmly asked:
”The things, have you brought them all?”
Zuo Qing’s lips trembled lightly, and after a moment, he still nodded, “Brought it ……”
”My master shouldn’t have come out yet, right?”
”Grand Master Golden Cicada is still restoring the Heavenly Origin, he is not here.”
”Good.”
Ye Fan nodded, his eyes gazed at the Buddha statue in the hall, took a deep breath, and slowly said:
”Seal the mountain, no one …… is allowed to enter.”
”Ye Fan, I think …… even if you want to do this, you can wait a little longer!” Zuo Qing couldn’t help but say.
Ye Fan shook his head, “I can’t wait, after the Dao is transformed, the soul will be absorbed into the Laws and become one with the World Laws themselves……. According to projections, from the time the soul starts to integrate into the Laws to the time when it completely falls into them, the process will only take 24 hours at most.
Right now, Zhou Ping’s soul should have been devoured nearly three quarters of the way through, if it drags on any longer, he won’t be able to come back at all.”
Ye Fan turned his head and looked towards the center of the great hall, the black heart and the [Dragon Elephant Sword] that were quietly stored within the black coffin, and a look of determination appeared in his eyes.
”Guan Zai is right, I owe Zhou Ping too much, now …… is the time to repay.”
Zuo Qing’s brows were tightly locked, he knew that he couldn’t stop Ye Fan today, and after dwelling on it for a long time, he could only close his eyes and sighed helplessly.
”Zuo Qing, after today, you know what to do.” Ye Fan stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the worried Zuo Qing with a faint smile, “What I can do, you can do …… too I believe in you.”
”I …… try my best.” Zuo Qing bitterly squeezed out a smile.
Ye Fan took a step, stepped onto the steps in front of the temple, crossed the threshold and walked straight into the Buddhist temple.
In a low creaking sound, the door of the Buddhist temple slowly closed, and that dark red figure stopped and stood in front of the black coffin, raising his head to face the many magnificent Buddha statues in the center of the temple, and his back gradually disappeared in the doorway ……
Bang–!
After a dull and loud sound, the Buddhist temple completely closed.
This temple at the top of Jiuhua Mountain eventually fell into a dead silence.
Zuo Qing gazed at the closed door for a long time, shook his head, walked to the last section of hiking stone steps in front of the temple door, and slowly sat down.
He looked at the drifting white clouds in front of him, and the towering mountains under his feet, lost in thought.
Within the Buddhist temple.
Ye Fan removed his gaze from the many Buddha statues and looked at the black coffin in front of him, within which was quietly placed the heart wrapped in the color of the night, along with the ancient [Dragon Elephant Sword].
At the top of this coffin, there was also a string of dark and ancient Buddha beads, the surface of the beads had some fine cracks, these lines were intertwined with each other, alluding to some kind of Great Dao trajectory, mysterious to the extreme.
Ye Fan doesn’t know how Lin Qiye saved Zhou Ping’s heart, and also doesn’t know what Lin Qiye means by saying, let Zhou Ping have the possibility of resurrection, if Lin Qiye is here, he will definitely ask him ……
Unfortunately, the entire fifth special squad, had disappeared.
Ye Fan didn’t know the purpose of this heart, but that didn’t stop him from executing his originally booked plan ……
Right at this moment, six channels of Xuan Huang Qi coalesced out from nothingness and changed into six figures emitting light golden light, standing within the Buddhist temple.
Seeing these six figures, Ye Fan was first stunned, then spoke respectfully:
”Late Ye Fan, I have met the Champion Marquis, Lord Gong Yang, Commander Nie, Commander Li, Commander Tang, and Sister Wang Si …… Wang.”
Seeing Wang Qing’s eyebrows raised, Ye Fan immediately reacted and changed his name to sister.
Hearing Ye Fan change his name, Wang Qing’s eyes instantly narrowed into a crescent moon with a smile as she turned her head to look at the other few people around her and said:
”How is it? The juniors I chose are not bad, right?”
Wang Qing was the fourth Commander-in-Chief of the Vigilantes, when Ye Fan was still an ordinary Vigilant, she was already a human ceiling, and after Ye Fan later rose all the way to the top of the Vigilantes, she was even Ye Fan’s direct superior, just like Ye Fan and Zuo Qing now.
To her, Ye Fan was indeed a lovely junior.
Although the other several Ying Spirits knew of Ye Fan, none of them had ever seen him before this, after all, they had been dormant in the national fortune for many years, and would not have appeared in the human world if not for the fact that this time Ye Fan had sent someone to wake them up.
Huo Zaiwei’s eyes gazed at Ye Fan for a moment and nodded slightly, “Not bad.”
Gong Yang Wan’s eyes slightly condensed when she saw the string of Buddhist beads on the coffin, “[Life Transferring Beads]? You guys actually found this thing?”
”This is what I found back then.”
Tang Yusheng, who was standing at the side wearing a white shirt, suddenly said, “More than twenty years ago, when we were exploring a certain underground relic amongst the mountains in the south, we found this legendary forbidden item, and after that it had been sealed in the Vigilant Headquarters, and had never been utilized.”
Wang Qing nodded, “I was involved at that time.”
Huo Zaiwei squinted at the string of Buddha beads and asked with some confusion, “What is this object?”
”During the Ming Dynasty, a young monk appeared who possessed a never-before-seen forbidden ruin called the [Predestined Fate Buddha], which is capable of snooping, tampering, distorting, or grafting on the threads of destiny to a certain extent ……,” Gong Yang Wan explained.
”In later times, when we made the Forbidden Ruins Sequence List, we designated it as Sequence 007, the Second King’s Ruin, [Predestined Buddha].” Tang Yusheng added.
”This monk was exceptionally gifted, but due to tampering with other people’s destinies too many times, his own destiny was caught in an uncontrollable vortex of destruction, and due to some unknown reasons, he eventually died.” Gong Yang Wan continues, “After his death, his disciple incinerated his body, and part of the [Predestined Buddha] power contained within his body coalesced into a bead and transformed into a forbidden object, which is this string of [Fate Transferring Beads].”
Huo Zaiwei nodded after hearing this.
”Little Ye Fan, what are you trying to do with this?” Wang Qing asked suspiciously.
Ye Fan was silent for a moment, “Saving people.”
Gong Yang Wan’s brows frowned slightly, “Although this forbidden object is powerful, fate itself is something that can’t be easily altered, and this monk’s downfall is the best illustration of that……. Even with this forbidden object, if you want to tamper with fate, you still need to pay a price.”
”I know.” Ye Fan raised his head, looked at them, and said calmly, “So, I will use my life …… to exchange his life.”
