Chapter 168 Borrowing Lightning
Bodhi is but a small space, yet even a short distance feels like an endless world.
Lin Fei carefully considered the words of the Bone Demon, but ultimately failed to reach a definite conclusion.
"What exactly do you mean?" Lin Fei asked directly, "Explain yourself clearly, don't beat around the bush with me."
“It’s already very clear. As for the rest, I don’t know.” Seeing that Lin Fei was a little angry, the Bone Demon was afraid that Lin Fei would go back on his word and drag him into the eighteenth level of hell. He added, “Since I woke up, I only remember the general outline of many things from the past. There are many memories that I can’t even remember myself. As for the Demon Saint’s last will and testament, I only remember this one sentence. The rest is up to you to study.”
Lin Fei was so angry at her nonsensical remark that he felt a tightness in his chest. He hadn't expected that this so-called news about the Demon Saint's dying words was just a random, incoherent statement. Yet, the skeletal demon seemed extremely serious, as if it truly believed that this one sentence could lead to the treasure left behind by an ancient demon.
"I've already told you the news. You won't go back on your word, will you?" The skeletal demon looked at Lin Fei and said, "Even we demons wouldn't do something so shameless. You can't break your promise!"
"Hmph, I'm not so bad as to be inferior to a monster!" Lin Fei snorted lightly. "Anyway, you can't turn the world upside down in my hands!"
As long as this painting remains in your possession, this skeletal demon will be unable to cause any trouble.
You must understand, Lin Fei's cultivation speed is like a rocket, thanks to his system. Even this monstrous white bone prodigy is no match for him today; next time, he probably won't even need the Heavenly Thunder Formation to deal with him!
Lin Fei had absolute confidence in his own cultivation level, which was the reason he dared to agree to the White Bone Demon's request. Even if the White Bone Demon didn't yet possess the strength of a Demon General, Lin Fei believed that even if the White Bone Demon were to truly recover to the Demon General level in the future, Lin Fei was certain that this guy would never escape his grasp.
Lin Fei extended his hand directly to the skeletal demon: "Now, in exchange, hand over this painting to me!"
The skeletal demon looked down at the scroll in her hands, clearly reluctant to part with it. However, she knew perfectly well that Lin Fei would never trade with her if she didn't get the scroll. She feared they would truly send her to the terrifying eighteen levels of hell, where she would be imprisoned for life.
"We have an agreement: if you find the Demon Saint's last decree one day, you must grant me my freedom!" The Bone Demon emphasized again before handing the scroll to Lin Feide.
The skeletal demon's body slowly became transparent, and finally, it turned into a wisp of white smoke, drifting into the painting—the very painting she used to hide her true form.
To prevent the skeletal demon from causing any trouble within the painting, Lin Fei raised his hand and tapped the painting a few times, setting up a layer of true energy barrier.
This layer of true energy barrier not only isolates the skeletal demon inside the painting from the outside world, but also allows Lin Fei to know immediately if there is any unusual movement in the painting.
After setting up the true energy barrier, Lin Fei slowly put away the scroll and asked Jiang Zhilan, who was standing beside him, "Captain Jiang, what do you think of what that demon said just now?"
There were four people here. Boss Jia was unconscious, and Yan Yan was far away. Moreover, to be on the safe side, Lin Fei had already used his true energy to block the eavesdropping of experts. Yan Yan's cultivation was not as good as Lin Fei's, so it was impossible for her to hear what was being said here.
Therefore, only Lin Fei and Jiang Zhilan knew about the Demon Saint's dying wish.
"Bodhi is but a square inch, yet even a foot away feels like an eternity?" Jiang Zhilan thought for a moment, then said, "Could it be that what that demon said is related to the Buddhist Mind Sect?"
The three schools of Buddhism are: the Exoteric School Leiyin Huasheng Temple, the Esoteric School Vajra Heavenly Wheel Temple, and the Mind School Bodhi Square Inch Temple.
Bodhi is but a square inch, yet even a short distance feels like an eternity. The White Bone Demon left behind only this incomplete sentence, making it hard not to connect it with the Mind Sect of Buddhism, the Bodhi Square Inch Temple.
“If it really is related to Bodhi Fangcun Temple, then that would be quite troublesome.” Lin Fei smiled wryly. “I’m afraid even finding the location of that temple will take some effort.”
Among the three major schools of Buddhism, the Leiyin Huasheng Temple of the Xianzong school was located within the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was the leader of the Buddhist community in the Southern Tang Dynasty and a famous martial arts holy land.
The Vajra Heavenly Wheel Temple of Esoteric Buddhism is located in the desert of the Western Regions, a desolate and uninhabited place, and is rarely seen by the world.
As for the Heart Sect, not to mention others, even people within the Buddhist community probably have no idea where it is located.
Of the three major schools of Buddhism, the Mind School is the most mysterious. It is said that those with the right affinity can see it, even ordinary people. But if one's affinity is not strong enough, even experts at the Dharma Aspect Realm or even the Celestial Realm will not be able to find the temple.
Aside from its grand name as one of the three major Buddhist sects, no one can even pinpoint the exact location of Bodhi Square Inch Temple.
Lin Fei sighed and said, "It seems that finding this Demon Saint's edict won't be a quick process. Now that the matter in Qinghe County has been resolved, let's return to the capital as soon as possible to report back!"
……
Jiang Zhilan walked up to Yan Yan, waved her hand, and untied the demon-binding rope binding Yan Yan's hands: "Sister Yan, now that we have apprehended the real culprit, you can leave."
Jiang Zhilan kept her word. Although she was very curious about the Yan family, who had mysteriously disappeared fifty years ago, she still let Yan Yan go and did not make things difficult for her.
However, Yan Yan, who had been thinking about leaving this place of trouble as soon as possible, did not leave after the binding rope was released. Instead, she looked at Lin Fei with her big, blinking eyes.
"What's wrong, Miss Yan? Is there something on my face?" Lin Fei subconsciously touched his cheek, feeling a little uncomfortable with Yan Yan's appearance.
Yan Yan stared at Lin Fei, suddenly appearing somewhat embarrassed: "You scoundrel, I want to discuss something with you."
Her attitude towards Lin Fei had always been terrible, but this sudden change made Lin Fei feel very uncomfortable, even a little uneasy.
“Miss Yan, there’s no need to be so polite,” Lin Fei quickly said. “Just say what you have to say.”
The saying goes, "When you give someone a gift, you must want something in return." Lin Fei couldn't believe that this girl, who had always been cold and sarcastic towards him, would suddenly change her attitude.
"Hmph, ungrateful wretch! I'm being nice to you, and you don't appreciate it!" Yan Yan pouted, then said, "This young lady wants to borrow your heavenly lightning. Consider it an apology for mistakenly capturing me!"
