Mortal Bones

"A month and a half."

Qing Xiao replied.

As he spoke, he was about to stand up, but just as he stood up, the flames in the alchemy furnace in front of him began to rush out of the alchemy furnace out of control.

"Taiping, please wait for me. This pot of pills will be ready soon. I can't be distracted."

Dugu Qingxiao immediately sat down again, then turned to explain to Xu Taiping.

"I'm fine, senior brother, don't worry about me."

Xu Taiping nodded.

At the same time, the voices of Bai Yu and Ping An sounded in his mind one after another——

"Taiping, you finally woke up. For more than a month, I thought you wouldn't wake up."

"Xu Taiping, why did you sleep for so long?"

"Can you see clearly now?"

So Xu Taiping quickly responded with a few words, and then calmed them down.

Then he began to try to communicate with Fairy Lingyue:

"Sister Lingyue, can you hear me?"

As soon as he asked this question, the spirit body of Fairy Lingyue appeared beside his bed.

But she just stared at Xu Taiping quietly without saying a word.

"Sister Lingyue...?"

Xu Taiping called Fairy Lingyue again with a doubtful tone.

"call……"

Fairy Lingyue let out a long breath at this time, then showed a gentle smile to Xu Taiping and said:

"Not only them, but even me this time, I thought you wouldn't wake up."

"It seems, it's not that serious, right?"

Xu Taiping was a little puzzled.

To him, it was actually just a nap.

Whether it was physical pain or mental pain, they were all within the range that he could bear.

"Not to mention the injuries on your body, just to say that you gave up four of the five senses in order to activate the two heavenly commandments, this is equivalent to offering most of your soul to the ancient Buddha. If there is anything wrong, I can’t get it back.”

Fairy Lingyue glared at Xu Taiping.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Hearing Fairy Lingyue mention the ancient Buddha, Xu Taiping suddenly remembered something. He saw the remnant soul of the ancient Buddha Kasyapa when he was about to fall into coma, and told Fairy Lingyue succinctly.

"I see. No wonder your second senior brother's mind has not been corroded by the Bodhi Fruit anymore, and Xu Ziyan's soul sealed by the Bodhi Seed has returned. This kind of magical power to bring the dead back to life can only be exerted by the ancient Buddha Kasyapa."

After listening to Xu Taiping's story, Fairy Lingyue showed a look of astonishment.

"Senior Sister Zi Yan is okay too, right?"

Xu Taiping was surprised when he heard this.

He was not surprised that the second senior brother could be rescued, and it was a complete surprise for him that senior sister Zi Yan could also be rescued.

"Although Xu Ziyan is still alive, she is still in some trouble. You can ask your second senior brother about this later."

Fairy Lingyue shook her head.

Xu Taiping nodded after hearing this.

"As for the fact that Ancient Buddha Kasyapa promised you to punish those who set up the situation, now that I hear what you say, I remember it."

Fairy Lingyue said thoughtfully.

"Remember what?"

Xu Taiping asked.

"After you were unconscious, another monk came after you. It was Chen Hao from the Chunyang Sword Sect who escaped from the Lotus Temple with you and your second senior brother."

"Just as he was passing through Langxiao Ridge with his sword, we suddenly saw a huge Shura statue attacking several monks in the villa. While attacking, he was shouting - Shura to save evil, come to save evil."

"I had some doubts at that time whether this evil Shura was related to you."

"Now it seems that my guess was correct."

Fairy Lingyue recalled.

"It should be the manifestation of the soul of the ancient Buddha Nagasyapa."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked:

"What happened to those monks? Can you tell their identities?"

Fairy Lingyue shook her head and said:

"One of them was extremely powerful in cultivation. Although several other monks were seriously injured, they still escaped under his cover."

"As for their identities, I was checking your injuries and didn't pay much attention. However, your second senior brother was very excited. If Chen Hao hadn't stopped him, he might have chased after you."

"You can confirm with him later."

Xu Taiping nodded slightly when he heard this.

Even without the reminder from Fairy Lingyue, he still had many questions and wanted to ask the second senior brother, such as how they were planted with Bodhi seeds and why they said so in the blood book.

Plus, I just made a weird..."

"boom……"

Xu Taiping was about to ask Fairy Lingyue about his dream, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the sound of an alchemy furnace exploding.

Turning around, he saw that the alchemy furnace that Dugu Qingxiao had been guarding suddenly cracked into several pieces.

However, although the alchemy furnace was cracked, a strange fragrance wafted out of it.

Then Xu Taiping only saw that Dugu Qingxiao found a round, vermilion elixir among the residue of a pile of medicinal materials.

"My senior brother, what kind of elixir are you refining?"

Xu Taiping asked Fairy Lingyue in surprise.

"The Calming Pill, it can lock the soul remaining in the body."

Fairy Lingyue sighed, and then explained to Xu Taiping, who looked confused:

"You were in coma for more than a month. I was worried that you would never wake up, so I used some means to entrust a dream to your second senior brother and gave him the recipe for the Calming Pill. I didn't hold out much hope at that time, because this was a wild land. There are no medicinal materials at all. But I don’t want you, the second senior brother, to loot the monks in Thousand Buddha Kingdom together and finally get two sets of medicinal materials.”

After hearing this and looking at the embarrassed figure of his second senior brother Qing Xiao, Xu Taiping couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Taiping, in addition to locking the soul, this calming pill also has the effect of nourishing the soul. You have just recovered from a serious illness, and it can be used to warm and nourish the soul."

Second senior brother Qing Xiao walked up to Xu Taiping with the elixir in his hands.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Xu Taiping was not polite and directly reached out to take it.

He is indeed in urgent need of elixirs to recuperate his body.

Although he was awake, he could clearly feel that the hidden diseases left in his body during that day's battle had not yet been completely eliminated.

Especially due to the internal strength competition with Shang Jiu, the internal injuries caused to this body will definitely not be healed in a short time.

Not to mention the injury to the soul.

"By the way, Senior Brother, what do you mean by those words written in blood? Why do you say that while you live, Senior Sister Zi Yan can only die?"

After taking the elixir, Xu Taiping finally asked his second senior brother Qing Xiao the question he had been holding back for a long time.

After Qingxiao was silent for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Xu Taiping and said:

"Taiping, come with me. I will take you to see Zi Yan, and then tell you exactly what happened to us in Thousand Buddha Kingdom."
