Dragon-Marked War God

The ancient main hall slowly returned to nothingness. Everyone seemed to fall silent in their hearts, because the cooked duck had flown away. The Reincarnated Living Buddha had been right in their hands, but Jiang Chen had stepped in and let him go. They had not even gotten the slightest news of the God Suppressing Monument. One could say they were all extremely angry.

However, Jiang Chen’s death had at least removed a weight from Scarlet Moon’s heart.

“Amitabha! Now that the beast Jiang Chen is dead, but the Reincarnated Living Buddha has escaped, the best thing to do now is to hurry and find the Reincarnated Living Buddha.”

Wuyin the Enlightened said in a deep voice.

“Amitabha, Senior Brother is right. The Reincarnated Living Buddha was already in our hands, but now he has completely vanished. If we look for him again, it will definitely be twice as hard.”

Shenyin the Enlightened sighed.

“What the eminent monks say is true. I’m afraid we have to hurry even more now. Otherwise, if someone else gets there first, it would be far too disappointing. He was right within reach, but that bastard Jiang Chen messed everything up.”

Wei Xiaolong’s face was cold and gloomy. Although Jiang Chen was dead, he was extremely angry. The world was unpredictable, and he could only keep waiting for an opportunity.

“What Benefactor Wei says is very true. Let’s set off right away. There’s no time to lose. I wonder what Scarlet Moon the Enlightened intends to do?”

Wuyin the Enlightened looked at Scarlet Moon the Enlightened and asked.

“Amitabha. Jiang Chen is dead, and my two junior brothers have been avenged. My Temple Hong Yan now has only this old monk left. I have no more heart to compete. I only hope that you eminent monks can slay the Reincarnated Living Buddha as soon as possible. Once a demon king like that rises, living beings will be plunged into misery.”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened pressed his palms together and said flatly.

“Since Scarlet Moon the Enlightened no longer wishes to fight, then we’ll take our leave here. Until we meet again.”

Wuyin the Enlightened said, and immediately left with the people of Tianluo Temple and Heaven Connection Divine Palace.

As for Wuyin the Enlightened’s departure, Scarlet Moon the Enlightened only kept sneering.

“A bunch of sanctimonious guys, each one more cunning than the last. If I stayed with you, how could I ever have a chance at the Reincarnated Living Buddha? Unless I have no other choice, I won’t make a move again. Hmph.”

Scarlet Moon the Enlightened snorted coldly and vanished as well.

High in the distant void, Qing Xuan looked at the ancient hall that had collapsed and vanished, her heart full of grief. She knew that at this moment, the Monk Tyrant must be feeling terrible inside. But no matter what, it was already a done deal. Jiang Chen probably could not have escaped. Seven Half-step Divine Emperors, to Qing Xuan, meant certain death. Even if Jiang Chen had three heads and six arms, he could hardly have withstood those guys.

The Monk Tyrant was silent, but Qing Xuan could feel the incomparably painful grief in his heart.

“I’m sorry, monk.”

Qing Xuan said in a low voice. Her slender jade hand, as delicate as a scallion stalk, came to rest gently on the Monk Tyrant’s shoulder. The Monk Tyrant’s body trembled slightly, but he said nothing.

After a long while, the Monk Tyrant took a deep breath and said coldly:

“Go find the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha. I can sense that the divine hall of the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha is nearby. As long as I get the Medicine Buddha’s Spirit Spring and rekindle the fire of my soul, my body can recover. I’ll make everyone be buried along with Jiang Chen!”

The Monk Tyrant said in a low voice, but his heart had already become incomparably cold, as still as water.

Qing Xuan had never felt that the Monk Tyrant’s voice could become so cold and grim. She knew that perhaps the Monk Tyrant did not blame her, but she could not forgive herself. Jiang Chen’s death had, after all, created a slight rift between her and the Monk Tyrant.

The Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha was one of the most important Buddhas of the Three Ages in the entire Buddhist Realm, ranked second. As for the first, it was naturally the Ancient Buddha Dipankara. The status of the Eastern Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha was not even the slightest bit below that of the Tathagata Buddha Shakyamuni. It was just that they belonged to the horizontal and the vertical Buddhas of the Three Ages respectively.

There was no doubt that the Eastern Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha should be in the east, at least in the east of the Great Thunderclap Temple, and not far from where the main hall of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara was.

The Monk Tyrant could sense where the hall of the Eastern Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha was. Even Qing Xuan found this extremely shocking. But she knew she absolutely could not say much right now. The anger in the Monk Tyrant’s heart had to be beyond words.

In the void, Jiang Chen slowly emerged from the Ancestral Dragon Pagoda. At this moment, he knew that the place he had to go was the Buddhist hall of the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha.

“Where should I look for the Buddhist hall of the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha?”

Jiang Chen murmured.

“I might be able to find the Buddhist hall of the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha.”

Jiang Chen was stunned. Fire Qilin appeared in front of him at this moment.

“You have a way?”

Jiang Chen looked at Fire Qilin in surprise.

“I seem to be able to sense where the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha is. In my inherited memories, there are fragments of memories about the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha, but I’m not sure. It seems my ancestors had an unusual relationship with the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha.”

Fire Qilin said in a low voice, still not quite sure.

“Great, hahaha! You wear out iron shoes searching, and then it falls right into your lap.”

Jiang Chen was delighted. He had not expected that Fire Qilin’s ancestors would actually have something to do with the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha.

…………

In the far east of the Great Thunderclap Temple, there were fields three thousand zhang wide, the nursery beds full of divine herbs. The fragrance of medicine drifted past and spread between heaven and earth.

In front of the herb garden stood three thatched huts and two old pine trees. Under a small bridge in front of the gate, a stream gurgled past a stone path.

“What a rich medicinal fragrance.”

A young man in ragged clothes walked by. His eyes lit up, and his whole body became full of energy. He took a deep breath. The medicinal fragrance was rich and refreshing to the heart.

“My heavens! Spirit-Seeking Grass, Heavenly Horse Lingzhi, Fire Dragon Origin Ginseng… These are all extremely rare medicinal ingredients!”

“I’m taking all the herbs here. Hehe!”

Seeing that there was no one around, the young man quickly began collecting the herbs.

“Hm? Why won’t they come out?”

The young man was stunned. He had not expected that he could not pull up a single plant in this entire herb garden. Wasn’t that like walking into a mountain of treasure and leaving empty-handed? One could imagine how painful that was.

“Damn it, what’s going on? These herbs smell so strong, so why can’t I pull them out? They can’t be fake, and there’s no restriction on them at all.”

The young man said through gritted teeth. It was truly infuriating. He tried more than ten times, and could not pull any out.

Just then, a short young boy came trotting out of the thatched hut. The boy was thin, with his hair tied up in a little pigtail pointing to the sky, and there was a cold smile in his eyes.

“What evil creature are you, trying to steal herbs?”

The boy put his hands on his hips and said proudly.

“Hm? Who are you?”

The young man narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent in them, and stared at the thin boy.

“If I tell you, you’ll die of fright. I’m the cowherd of the boy attendant under the Lapis Lazuli Medicine Buddha.”
