Then, I saw that Master Xuanzhi, as if making some kind of decision, first took a deep breath, then clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha’s name “Amitabha”, and then looked at Xu Taiping with extremely firm eyes and said:
Daoist Taiping, when you go to the Wild Heaven, please take this little monk with you!
Xu Taiping was immediately shocked in his heart, and then quickly shook his head and said:
Master Xuanzhi, although the Wild Heaven can be connected to the Five Directions Heaven and Earth, its location is in the exact west of the Upper Pure Realm. If you Buddhist disciples enter like this rashly I’m afraid it will cause trouble, right?
When Master Xuanzhi heard this, instead of being afraid, he grinned extremely rarely and said:
“Brother Taiping, the little monk has cultivated a method that can turn my misfortune into your fortune. In short, the heavier the misfortune suffered by the little monk, the stronger your fortune, Brother Taiping!”
What Xu Taiping never expected was that Xuanzhi precisely took a fancy to the fact that he would encounter misfortune in the Wild Heaven, so he would so strongly demand to travel with Xu Taiping.
For a while, Xu Taiping couldn’t help but sigh in his heart again how great the temptation of the Buddhist fate is for Buddhist disciples.
However, in the end, he still refused Xuanzhi and said:
“Master Xuanzhi, if it is just to send this Bodhi branch to Master Kasyapa in Thousand Buddha Kingdom, I alone am more than enough.”
When Master Xuanzhi heard this, he was very insistent and said:
“Brother Taiping, this matter is related to the survival of the Buddhist sect in the Upper Clear Realm and must not have any mistakes. If the little monk dies in the Wild because of this, it is also a worthy death!”
Xu Taiping has known Master Xuanzhi for so long, and this is the first time he has seen Master Xuanzhi so stubborn.
And just when Xu Taiping was having a headache about how to reject Master Xuanzhi, Dongfang Yuejian on the side suddenly spoke up anxiously and said:
“Daoist Taiping, I… I also want to go!”
Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of feeling both funny and annoyed:
“Miss Dongfang, don’t join in the fun.”
One Xuanzhi was enough to give him a headache, and now there was another Dongfang Yuejian. Xu Taiping almost wanted to let the Shiyuan clone help him get angry at these two people.
Dongfang Yuejian shook her head firmly at this time and said:
“No, Taiping Daozhang, I… I must go!”
Xu Taiping could somewhat understand why Master Xuanzhi wanted to go. But he really didn’t understand why Dongfang Yuejian insisted on going.
So Xu Taiping looked at Dongfang Yuejian in confusion and said:
“Miss Dongfang, the wild is not a place for fun. There are dangers everywhere.”
Dongfang Yuejian saw Xu Taiping’s confusion, so she quickly waved her hand and said:
“Taiping Daozhang, I’m not going for fun.”
She immediately explained:
“The reason I want to travel with you, Taiping Daozhang, is because I have a request for you!”
These words made Xu Taiping even more confused.
But before he could speak, he heard Dongfang Yuejian continue to explain:
“Taiping Daozhang, the reason I want to travel with you is that after the matter is done, I want to invite you to accompany me to participate in the Dragon-Slaying Assembly five years later!”
When Xu Taiping heard that Dongfang Yuejian wanted to invite him to participate in the Dragon-Slaying Assembly together, he immediately relaxed and said:
“Miss Dongfang, please rest assured.”
As he spoke, Xu Taiping turned his head and looked at the Dragon-Slaying Tablet not far away, and then said very seriously:
“Based on the kindness of the girl in protecting the monument over the years, I, Xu Taiping, will never refuse the trip to the Dragon-Slaying Meeting five years later!”
The implication was that Dongfang Yuejian didn’t have to do anything else for this.
But after hearing these words, instead of showing any hint of joy on her face, Dongfang Yuejian became so anxious that she stuttered and said, “No, no… That’s not it, Young Master Taiping, it’s not… not like this… You misunderstood me… I’m not…”
Seeing Dongfang Yuejian’s fair face turn bright red with anxiety, the Mysterious Knowledge Mage beside her said “Amitabha” and then smiled and helped her explain to Xu Taiping:
“Brother Taiping, although the Dragon-Slaying Meeting of Chenglongtian can invite others to go with, the invited person must be someone who has shared life and death with them, not just anyone.”
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Dongfang Yuejian beside him and asked with a smile:
“Am I right, Miss Dongfang?”
Dongfang Yuejian, who was stuttering with anxiety beside her, immediately let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the explanation given by the Mysterious Knowledge Mage on her behalf, and then nodded heavily and said:
“Hmm!”
And after hearing the explanation of the Mysterious Knowledge Mage, Xu Taiping finally understood.
I saw him frown and look at Dongfang Yuejian with some difficulty and said:
“Miss Dongfang, is there no other way?”
He immediately added seriously with a serious face:
“This journey to the wild region is truly very dangerous.”
If it were just a matter of sending the White Bodhi Branch to the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom, there would indeed be no danger.
But for Xu Taiping’s journey to the wild region this time in addition to sending the White Bodhi Branch to Master Kasyapa, he also has to go to Vulture Peak to invite a Buddha statue.
And consider how to break through to the Heaven-Shaking Realm in the wild region.
This time, he is going from the Heaven Watching Realm, crossing the Heaven Asking Realm and directly breaking through to the Heaven-Shaking Realm for the first time.
When breaking through, it will inevitably attract a powerful Heavenly Tribulation and extraterritorial demons.
So this journey is truly not an ordinary danger.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian shook her head very stubbornly and said:
“Daoist Taiping, only by ranking among the top three in this Dragon-Slaying Conference can I have the possibility of going to the outer heavens to reunite with my mother and them.”
“Among the candidates for companions that I can choose, only you, Daoist Taiping, are likely to help me enter the top three.”
Dongfang Yuejian’s eyes fixed on Xu Taiping without blinking and said:
So no matter how dangerous this journey to the wild region is, I will never give up!
As she said this, she took out a bracelet made of Moon Soul Stones from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Taiping.
Before Dongfang Yuejian could speak, I heard Master Xuanzhi introduce:
“This bracelet is called the Same Boat Chain.”
The same boat chain made from the same piece of moon soul stone, once worn by different people if these people have experienced sharing hardships and facing life and death together in the future, this bracelet will gradually turn from white to red.”
Saying this, I saw Master Xuanzhi raise one of his hands and shook it at Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping immediately saw the chain on Master Xuanzhi’s hand.
However, the one on Master Xuanzhi’s hand had already turned 30% vermilion.
Obviously, Master Xuanzhi had already agreed to Dongfang Yuejian’s invitation to participate in the Dragon-Slaying Society together before him.
After a little thought, Xu Taiping finally took the bracelet handed to him by Dongfang Yuejian and nodded, saying:
“Since Miss Dongfang is willing to disregard life and death, then for this trip to the wild, you and I shall go together.”
The reason why he didn’t want to agree to Dongfang Yuejian’s colleagues before was entirely because he didn’t want her to take risks with him in the wild.
But since Dongfang Yuejian had a reason to go along.
Xu Taiping naturally wouldn’t refuse anymore.
Seeing that Xu Taiping agreed and put on the bracelet, Dongfang Yuejian’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she said with a look of joy on her face:
“Thank you, Taiping Daozhang!”
And at this time, Master Xuanzhi on the side suddenly leaned close to Xu Taiping, put his hands together, and asked with a smile:
“Brother Taiping, if Miss Dongfang can go, what about this little monk?”
