Xiahou You’s heart trembled immediately.
Shi Hu Tianjun continued to say：
“According to legend, every high monk in the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom who is about to pass away and attain Buddhahood will step into the 100,000-mile fog of the forbidden area of the Thousand Buddhas Kingdom alone.”
“Only a truly great and virtuous monk will be guided by the spirit sparrow in the fog and be able to go to Lingjiu Peak and pass away and attain Buddhahood.”
“Those unvirtuous monks can only wander continuously in the fog until their lifespan is exhausted and they become a skeleton.”
“This is regarded as the last test for Buddhist disciples to attain Buddhahood.”
After listening to Shi Hu Tianjun’s explanation, Xiahou You immediately frowned and said：
“In this case, this forbidden area is just a secret realm for Buddhist disciples to seek opportunities and pass away and attain Buddhahood.”
“But the Taiping Prince is not a Buddhist disciple. Even if he finds the legendary Vulture Peak, what use is it？”
Heavenly Monarch Shihu nodded and said：
“This is also what puzzles me the most.”
Heavenly Monarch Shihu continued to say：
“For disciples other than Buddhists, on that Vulture Peak, there are only the flesh statues left by the Thousand Buddha Kingdom after they achieved Buddhahood through sitting meditation.”
And now that the power of the supernatant Buddhist fate has long been cut off these statues have no difference from those ordinary mummies.”
After hearing Heavenly Monarch Shihu’s explanation, Xiahou Qingyuan said affirmatively：
“No matter what Xu Taiping’s purpose is for going to this forbidden area, he will return without success.”
His gaze looked into the spirit mirror. After seeing Xu Taiping’s figure that was already very close to the mist of the forbidden area of a Thousand Buddha Kingdom, a proud look then appeared in his eyes, and he continued to say:
“I once risked entering this forbidden area of Thousand Buddha Kingdom.”
Heavenly Monarch Shihu’s expression immediately froze when he heard this and said：
“Qingyuan, when did this happen？”
Xiahou Qingyuan felt a little guilty being stared at by Heavenly Monarch Shihu, and immediately his tone weakened and said：
“Just ten years ago, because Uncle Xi found a bell that could guide the monks to move forward in the mist of the forbidden area, he called me and several uncles to enter the forbidden area and explore together.”
Heavenly Monarch Shihu asked：
“And then？”
Xiahou Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said：
“We only penetrated the fog for dozens of miles, and the Buddha’s light guidance of the bell in our hands dissipated, so we had to return without success.”
Xiahou Qingyuan continued：
“Later, Uncle Xi read through the classics and found that these bells of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom will only guide the virtuous disciples of the Buddhist sect or those who have a predestined relationship with the Buddhist kingdoms outside the domain.”
“Moreover, the deeper you want to penetrate the fog, the higher the requirements for the Buddhist predestined merit of the guiding person.”
When he said this, Xiahou You’s gaze looked at the back of Xu Taiping in the virtual shadow of the spirit mirror and said affirmatively：
“So in my opinion, Xu Taiping, who is not a Buddhist disciple, is impossible to get guidance and penetrate the forbidden area.”
“He will only return without success.”
After hearing this, Shi Hutian Jun thought for a while and said：
“What you said, the abbot of Kasyapa Temple couldn’t not know, and couldn’t not have told Xu Taiping.”
Xiahou You’s eyes lit up immediately and said：
“In this case, the reason why the abbot of Kasyapa did not stop Young Master Taiping should just be to let him go and give it a try, and then give up when he encounters difficulties.”
Xiahou Qingyuan said coldly：
“In my opinion, most likely it was Xu Taiping who insisted on going by himself.”
Xiahou You frowned and looked at Xiahou Qingyuan and said：
“Second brother, why do you still value the disciple of Young Master Taiping so much?”
Xiahou Qingyuan replied with his hands crossed over his chest and not looking back：
“To him, I don’t have any hostility. It’s just that our paths are different and I don’t want to plot with him.”
Xiahou You gave Xiahou Qingyuan a blank look and sneered：
“I think you’re more like jealous of him！”
Xiahou Qingyuan snorted and said：
“Joke, would your brother be jealous of a boor？”
At this time, Shi Hu Tianjun suddenly coughed lightly and then interrupted the two and said：
“Now it seems that Xu Taiping’s trip to the forbidden area of Thousand Buddha Kingdom doesn’t have any special purpose. It’s just that he wants to give it a try and see if he can get the guidance of the spiritual bird in the forbidden area.”
The two nodded upon hearing this.
……
“Give it a try？”
In front of Kasyapa Hall, Abbot Kasyapa takes back his gaze from the virtual shadow of the Moon Shadow Stone above his head and instead looked at Dongfang Yuejian beside him.
“Isn’t it？”
Dongfang Yuejian also looked at Abbot Kasyapa with a confused expression on her face.
She immediately added：
“The reason why Young Master Taiping would go to the forbidden area is because Abbot Kasyapa you think that Daoist Taiping has a lot of the power of Buddhist affinity on him. So you gave that bell to him and let him go to the forbidden area to see if he can get the guidance of the forbidden area.”
Abbot Kasyapa smiled and looked at Dongfang Yuejian and said：
“Miss Dongfang is really knowledgeable. She actually knows so clearly about the forbidden area of our Thousand Buddha Kingdom.”
Dongfang Yuejian scratched her head a little embarrassed and said：
“I have liked to listen to the interesting stories of Shangqing told by the elders in the clan since I was a child.”
Abbot Kasyapa nodded with a warm smile and said：
“Since Miss Dongfang is so interested in these, when the scripture building of Kasyapa Temple reopens in the future, the door will always be open for Miss Dongfang.”
Dongfang Yuejian immediately said with a happy face：
“Thank you, Abbot Kasyapa.”
Abbot Kasyapa smiled and nodded, and then his gaze turned back to the above his head. Looking at Xu Taiping who was quickly approaching the forbidden area fog in the shadow, he smiled without looking back and said:
“However, Miss Dongfang, you just made a mistake.”
Dongfang Yuejian was stunned for a moment, and then asked：
“Mistake？”
Abbot Kasyapa nodded and said：
“This trip of Taiping Benefactor is not just a try.”
As he spoke, he retracted his gaze from the phantom above his head, looked at Dongfang Yuejian very seriously and then continued:
“As long as Taiping Benefactor is willing to ring the Vajra Bell in his hand, the door of the forbidden area of Thousand Buddha Kingdom will definitely open for him.”
Dongfang Yuejian’s heart trembled, and then she asked Abbot Kasyapa with a look of surprise in her eyes：
“Abbot Kasyapa, why are you so sure？”
Abbot Kasyapa put his hands together, glanced at the mess in Western Zhou, and then said with great emotion：
Because when he first awakened this old monk, he had already fallen into the Dharma eyes of the Buddhas in the Outer Heaven Buddha Realm, and he is the one with the deepest Buddhist affinity under the sky.
That little spiritual sparrow, if it refuses to come forward to guide, what awaits it next will be the angry eyes of the Buddhas in the Outer Heaven.
Dongfang Yuejian was shocked when he heard this and was speechless for a while.
And the Xuanzhi Dharma Master on the side heard a shocking implication from Abbot Kasyapa’s words.
I saw his eyes wide open, and he asked in disbelief：
Abbot Kasyapa, listening to your words, does it mean… does it mean that Brother Taiping is going to go to that… go to that Vulture Peak？！
……
The forbidden area of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom.
Such thick fog.
Looking at the thick fog in front of him, which was like a surging sandstorm, Xu Taiping picked up the Vajra Bell and muttered to himself.
Liantong’s voice also rang in his mind at this time：
That’s natural. The Hundred Thousand Mists of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom was once one of the most mysterious secret realms in the Upper Clear.
Xu Taiping nodded, then took a deep breath, and then raised his arm and shook the Vajra Bell in his hand vigorously.
“Jingle bells…”
A burst of clear bell sounds then rang out in this vast and desolate dead silence, ethereal and distant.
And after the bell sounded, the originally silent fog suddenly surged, as if an ancient thing that had been sleeping for a long time on this land was suddenly awakened.
