Chapter 2188
by Moonlit_Scholar_C Just one look from this White Maitreya made one feel cold to the bone.
He could even imagine the scene where after he was possessed by the evil spirit in the Buddha statue, the White Maitreya tore him apart with its two claws.
However, after the chill in his heart dissipated, Xu Taiping thought about it and then seriously transmitted his voice to it in his heart and said：
“If I really become such a human-like and ghost-like appearance, then I will trouble you.”
Hearing this, the White Maitreya opened its eyelids again, deeply looked at Xu Taiping, and then also transmitted its voice to Xu Taiping in its heart and said：
“Those Buddha statues that have not been possessed by the evil spirits, although harmless to you, will attract the extraterrestrial demons that come to hunt for food.”
“So even if you have chosen the Buddha statue well, you still can’t let down your guard.”
When saying this, it hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again：
“In addition, although not many, there are still quite a few Yin Gods climbing up the Lingjiu Peak, and some have even lingered on the steps of climbing the peak for many years.
“But there is no need to worry. As long as you don’t touch it and the like, it won’t attack you.”
Xu Taiping didn’t expect that the seemingly unfriendly White Maitreya would actually start to actively warn him after he said the previous words.
So he once again cupped his hands and bowed to the White Maitreya, and thanked him in his heart：
“Thank you, Senior White Maitreya.”
Regarding Xu Taiping’s thanks, the White Maitreya, as if he didn’t hear it, buried his head deeply into his wings and continued to sleep soundly.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping immediately turned around and stepped onto the moss-covered steps.
At the same time, Lotus Pupil, who had not said a word before, also spoke up at this time：
“Xu Taiping, did that old guy Dao Xuan tell you how to receive the inheritance of Buddhist affinity from the foreign Buddhist country after ascending to the peak？”
Xu Taiping nodded imperceptibly and said：
“After ascending to the peak, just place the flesh and blood Buddha statue on that lotus platform and quietly wait for the power of Buddhist affinity to descend.”
Lotus Pupil： “If so, then for you, the next step is just to select that Buddha statue and then carry him up the peak.”
Xu Taiping nodded silently, and at the same time asked Lotus Pupil in his heart：
“When selecting the Buddha statue, can I use the power of great deduction？”
After a moment of silence, Lotus Pupil finally spoke up：
“The power of the Western Heaven’s Might on the Lingjiu Peak is densely spread, which will interfere with my great deduction power. It is best to wait until you choose a Buddha statue before letting us judge the good and bad.”
Xu Taiping was a little surprised in his heart and said：
“This power of Heaven’s Might can actually interfere with the deduction of the Lotus Pupil？”
He immediately sent to the Lotus Pupil again and said:
“Then I will wait until I am about to reach the top of the Lingjiu Peak to choose.”
After confirming these with the Lotus Pupil, Xu Taiping immediately focused his mind and began to walk quickly towards the peak.
Just as the White Maitreya had previously said, after Xu Taiping stepped onto the stone steps leading to the peak, no matter how close he was to the clouds transformed by the power outside the Western Heaven on the Lingjiu Peak, these clouds transformed by the power of Heaven’s Might would “ignore” him as if he didn’t exist.
Precisely because of this, Xu Taiping had already come to the mountainside of the Lingjiu Peak from the entrance and exit in less than the time it took to burn a stick of incense.
The dazzling sunlight dyed the cliff wall on the mountainside and the moss-covered stone step mountain road all golden.
At this time, Xu Taiping suddenly stopped and asked the Lotus Pupil in his heart：
“How about the Buddha statues in the cave on this cliff wall？”
When he said this, a golden flame suddenly flashed and disappeared again in the Lotus Pupil of his left eye.
And it was only for the brief moment when this golden flame flickered and vanished.
I saw that the originally “leisurely” floating clouds around the west of Lingjiu Peak suddenly seemed to “change their faces” and turned into the pure power of celestial might, sweeping down towards the direction where Xu Taiping was located like a torrential flood.
But this situation only lasted for a moment. Then I saw that the surging power of celestial might, like the ebb of the sea, retreated one after another, and finally turned into clouds and drifted around the west of Lingjiu Peak again.
“Hoo…”
Seeing this, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Lian Tong then said in a tone full of lingering fear：
“It was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, I took back my divine power in time. Otherwise, the power of celestial might in this vicinity would probably tear you apart.”
Xu Taiping then asked curiously：
“How was theInduction？”
Lian Tong replied：
“Although it is much better than on the cliff below, it is still more dangerous than not. If you choose randomly, it is very likely that you will choose a Buddha statue possessed by evil spirits.”
Xu Taiping immediately nodded imperceptibly：
“It seems that I can only wait until I get closer to the peak before trying again.”
Immediately afterwards, Xu Taiping took a step forward again and stepped onto a moss-covered step.
But at this moment, the lotus pupil in his left eye suddenly felt a burning sensation.
Xu Taiping immediately furrowed his brows and said：
“Lotus pupil, don’t take risks and try at this time.”
The lotus pupil immediately replied with a slightly nervous tone：
“It’s not that I’m actively opening the lotus pupil. It’s that the lotus pupil sensed your danger and wants to open by itself！”
Xu Taiping’s heart trembled.
He knew very well that the lotus pupil would only open automatically when it sensed extremely intense danger.
With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping immediately leaned against the cliff wall without moving and began to observe the situation on both sides.
At the same time, he also asked the lotus pupil in his heart：
“Have you sensed whether this danger is coming from above or below？”
The voice of the lotus pupil soon rang out in Xu Taiping’s mind：
“There seems to be danger both above and below, but… the danger from below should be coming faster than that from above.”
Xu Taiping immediately furrowed his brows and said：
“It seems that I can only use the power of the Heavenly Dao Decree.”
At the moment, he still had two remaining powers of the Heavenly Dao Decree.
“Pa！”
Almost at the same time as Xu Taiping said this, suddenly another pale big hand stretched out from under the cliff and grabbed the edge of the stone step.
And just within the span of a single breath, that pale big hand suddenly exerted a great force, pulling a thin and long body up from below the cliff and landing it on the stone steps.
After sensing the aura emitted by this emaciated body, Xu Taiping was immediately very surprised and said, “Yin God？”
That’s right, within this emaciated body, there was exactly one Yin God possessing it.
Lian Tong immediately reminded him and said：
“Xu Taiping, don’t touch it！”
Xu Taiping slightly nodded and said：
“I know.”
Previously when going up the mountain, Lingjiu Peak’s leading white Maitreya had already reminded him that there would be Yin Gods on the stone steps leading to the peak but as long as one didn’t touch them, there would be no danger.
Lian Tong then said again：
“You can try the method,” said the white Maitreya, and temporarily don’t execute the will of heaven.
Xu Taiping nodded imperceptibly and said：
“That’s exactly what I mean.”
At this time, he was at least still half the way from reaching the peak, and his two Heavenly laws should be saved if possible.
“Patta, patta…”
At this time, I saw that the Yin God, which looked neither human nor non-human, raised its frog-like the foot and stepped heavily on the step.
Xu Taiping then took another step back and pressed his back tightly against the cliff wall, ready to avoid this Yin God.
……
Inside the Yipin Pavilion teahouse.
”That… What kind of ghost thing is that？”
Originally, when they were discussing why Xu Taiping would take such a big risk to climb that Lingjiu Peak, and what exactly was said in secret when Xu Taiping bade farewell to Bai Maitreya suddenly a cultivator pointed at the virtual shadow of the spiritual mirror above his head and shouted.
For a while, the discussion in the teahouse suddenly stopped, and all the cultivators raised their fists and looked up at the virtual shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone.
After seeing the shriveled monster jump up from under the cliff and land on the stone steps, a cultivator said in disbelief：
”This thing… Could it be a Yin God？”
Shi Hutianjun, who had also clearly seen the appearance of the monster, said in surprise：
”Why would there be a Yin God haunting this Lingjiu Peak？”
