All of a sudden!
A series of Sanskrit sounds echoed through the rift valley with a mysterious might that shook one's mind!
"Om … Ma … Ni … Pa … Mi … Hum!"
With every single Sanskrit sound, the entire void would tremble violently.
The corpses and blood figures that were initially in front of Su Zimo had all vanished.
There were no corpse mountains or blood rivers.
Everything was just an illusion!
The only thing that truly existed was the skinny white palm that hovered above Su Zimo's head!
Not far away, a young monk walked over slowly. Although he was young, he had a dignified expression and his eyes shone with two divine lights as he glared behind Su Zimo!
The young monk held a string of Buddha beads in his right hand as he chanted Sanskrit continuously.
In his left palm was a lotus platform that shone with a mysterious glow.
As the young monk walked over, the illusions that were in Su Zimo's vision dissipated, revealing a winding rift valley once more.
He was standing at a bend in the rift valley and the dilapidated old temple was not far ahead!
When the white-bloused woman saw the young monk appear, her expression turned uncertain.
The pair of bloody holes on her face faced the lotus platform in the young monk's hands hesitantly, as though she was wary.
"Ghost, what are you waiting for? Hurry and leave!"
The young monk had a stern expression as he hollered softly.
Raising the lotus platform in his left hand, he pushed it gently in the direction of the white-bloused woman.
The lotus platform floated in midair and drifted over.
The pure white lotus petals bloomed one after another from the outside to the inside, layer by layer.
As the lotus petals bloomed, the entire lotus platform released an extremely frightening aura!
"Ah!"
The white-bloused woman shrieked and turned into mist, fleeing into the distance and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The young monk strode forward and retracted his lotus platform. Tugging at Su Zimo's sleeves, he whispered, "Patron, hurry and leave!"
With that, the young monk turned and ran towards the old temple.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he chased after hurriedly.
Thankfully, they were not too far away from the old temple and the two of them returned within more than ten breaths.
The young monk turned and closed the door before heaving a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for saving my life, fellow Daoist," Su Zimo bowed and thanked him.
The young monk waved it off with a smile. "You're too polite, patron. This is my duty."
"I still don't know your Dharmic name, fellow Daoist?" Su Zimo asked.
The young monk replied, "I'm Ming Zhen."
"Ming Zhen, Ming Zhen,"
Su murmured softly.
Pure, sincere and true.
That was the feeling that the young monk gave Su Zimo.
The word 'truth' was indeed enough to describe everything.
"The ghosts and monsters outside are extremely ferocious and their powers are boundless. Even I am no match for them."
Ming Zhen explained, "Earlier on, that malevolent ghost was wary of this lotus platform and thought that master was here. That was why it turned and fled. If we wait for her to react, we'll be in trouble. "
Su Zimo felt guilty. "Just Now, I was careless and nearly implicated you."
Eight years of cultivation were destroyed overnight and he was reduced from the number one monster incarnate of history to a mortal. Anyone would find it hard to accept such a huge blow.
Just Now, he left the old temple partly because he was curious and wanted to see what was outside.
At the same time, he was truly frustrated.
His state of mind was still greatly affected!
As though he could sense the frustration in Su Zimo's heart, Ming Zhen said, "Actually, you won't be in any danger as long as you don't leave this place. Although this courtyard isn't big, you can walk around freely and browse through the sutras in the Sutra Chamber as well. "
"At that time, we can compare our insights and comprehend Buddhism together."
Pausing for a moment, Ming Zhen seemed to have thought of something and reminded hurriedly, "Right, patron, please don't go to the backyard of the grand hall!"
After saying that, Ming Zhen seemed to have thought of something terrifying and shrunk his neck with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Su Zimo was shocked.
Just Now, Ming Zhen was domineering and fearless against that menacing evil ghost with torrential Dharmic powers.
Why did he reveal such an expression at the mention of the backyard of the grand hall?
What was behind the grand hall that Ming Zhen was so wary of?
Furthermore, Su Zimo noticed a detail.
Just Now, when he wanted to head out, Ming Zhen merely reminded him that it was dangerous outside and he should not wander too far.
But now, Ming Zhen was warning Su Zimo with absolute certainty not to head to the backyard of the grand hall!
Su Zimo nodded.
He truly did not want to cause any more trouble for Ming Zhen.
After giving his reminder, Ming Zhen sat back on the cushion and took out the thick ancient book from his storage bag. He flipped it open carefully and buried his head in it.
At that moment, the little fox woke up slowly.
However, she was rather frightened and stayed in Su Zimo's embrace, refusing to leave.
After reading for a while, Ming Zhen seemed to have thought of something and handed the ancient book to Su Zimo, saying sincerely, "Patron, if you don't know which sutra to start with, why don't you take a look at this sutra? You'll definitely benefit greatly."
"Every single word in this sutra is precious and contains the mysteries of Heaven and Earth. Each time you read it, you'll gain a different understanding. It's truly exquisite."
Su Zimo smiled bitterly internally.
Right now, he was not in the mood.
Even if his cultivation was still present, he might not be able to read those obscure sutras.
Su Zimo declined tactfully, "I haven't recovered from my injuries and it's not good for me to expend too much mental energy. You can read it first."
Ming Zhen was doubtful and said in confusion, "Chanting sutras, paying respects to Buddha and comprehending the Dao are the most enjoyable things in the world. Why would it expend mental energy?"
Ming Zhen shook his head, as though he could not understand Su Zimo's words.
When Su Zimo saw how passionate Ming Zhen was, he felt a little embarrassed and asked, "What's the name of this ancient book? I'll go look for it after you're done reading it."
Of course, that was merely a casual question from Su Zimo – he did not really want to read it.
"Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra."
"Oh."
Su Zimo replied distractedly. The moment he turned around, his expression changed!
"Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra?"
Su Zimo looked at Ming Zhen in disbelief and asked again.
"That's right."
Ming Zhen nodded his head naturally.
Su Zimo's mouth opened slightly and he stood there in a daze for a moment before smiling bitterly.
The Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra was known as the number one secret skill of the Dao of cores.
10,000 years ago, Fahua Monastery was destroyed in that shocking calamity and the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra was lost as well.
Even after such a long time, no one had discovered any traces of the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra.
That was the reason why there was a rumor in the cultivation world.
It was that the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra was buried in the Great Qian Ruins.
The reason why Su Zimo rushed to the Great Qian Ruins was not for the Vermilion Fruit – half of the reason was for the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra!
However, it was a pity that fate made fools of him.
By the time he saw the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra for real, he could no longer cultivate it.
The rumors were right – the Mystic Dharmic Lotus Sutra was indeed in the Great Qian Ruins.
However, who would have thought that the sutra would be at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley!
Su Zimo finally realized why there was such a strange, old and crude monastery at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley.
There was a high chance that this monastery was built by the surviving monks of Fahua and Daming Monasteries back then!
However, what was the purpose of building such a monastery at the bottom of the valley?
