Chapter 137: Chapter 84: Mountains and Rivers Split by the Incense and Candle Path, Laying in Wait to Rescue Rose (Long Chapter)
He directly took root in the deep mountains, infusing "Skull Flower" in the first column and "Tiger Demon Taisui" in the second column.
In this way, the [White Bone Control] of the "Skull Flower" was enhanced, with a small probability of producing a "stronger White Bone Demon".
Although the probability was small, Li Xuan had collected a large amount of white bones.
Amid these changes, one after another, stronger White Bone Demons were still produced.
Li Xuan selected the avian White Bone Demons among them, letting them fly to the four sides, then hiding in the dense forest to start monitoring the surroundings.
Thus... he began to wait.
...
...
Bright Temple, deep inside.
In the candlelight, whispers were incessant.
"Great Yin has taken action against us, recently quite a few believers have disappeared, both outside and inside the temple."
"So what if they make a move?
Twelve years ago, they eradicated our sect, twelve years later... our Buddha has descended, incense has already permeated the entire mansion city, let these people see our strength.
Kill them, proclaim them heretics, then overthrow them and create our own dynasty, and then the incense will spread throughout a nation.
Only in this way can our Yu Sect truly prosper."
"Indeed, although we have only been developing for about six months, there are already many believers, not all the people in the city, but at least half are already devout believers of our sect.
Shall we rise up in rebellion right here in the mansion city.
Heaven sends a calamity, it is time for heaven and earth to be dissatisfied, the king should be changed!"
The senior officials of the Yu Sect each spoke their piece.
But behind the gauze curtain, two figures sat cross-legged, bathed in thick incense.
At night, although the incense had clearly faded, the incense from daylight, even yesterday, the day before, seemed to faintly form a whirlpool, revolving.
Within the light fragrance, it masked an extremely thin corpse stench.
And at the center of the incense, was here.
Yet even so, the Headless Buddha still hadn’t found a suitable head.
But that doesn’t matter, previously, the Headless Buddha could only go to Lingbo Mansion to take the heads of civilians, now... with so many outsiders here, the Headless Buddha didn’t need to say anything, just take them directly.
At this moment, the head on his neck began to rot again.
The Headless Buddha took off the head, blew some incense, and grabbed another head from afar, pressing it onto the neck.
The eyes of that head were still wide open, seemingly unable to believe until death.
Beside him, the girl in a richly dressed purple robe showed a few signs of pain.
The newly installed head on the Headless Buddha made a sound: "Mother, it’s fine."
Rose raised her hand to support her head, saying: "It just feels a little painful, a sharp pain, like my brain was bitten."
As she spoke, she cried out "Ah" again,
The Headless Buddha raised a hand, and a wave of incense enveloped Rose.
Instantly, the girl took a long breath, seeming no longer in pain.
The Headless Buddha remained expressionless.
And outside the gauze curtain, the Yu Sect officials seemed to have already reached a decision.
Previously, the old nun from Xinci Temple stepped forward and bowed to the ground, saying: "Our Buddha is compassionate."
"Amitabha." The Headless Buddha replied indifferently.
The old nun said: "Last year we had to flee, because we had not yet developed and were already targeted by the court. Therefore, we needed to leave Xinci Temple.
But now, with Buddha here, I believe our Yu Sect has already gained a foothold in Lingbo Mansion.
Perhaps we no longer need to flee, but can use this as an opportunity to raise our banner high, overthrow Great Yin, so that all beings under heaven and earth have their incense returned to our Buddha."
The Headless Buddha remained silent.
He seemed to be pondering.
That pair of eyes that should belong to a general or martial artist, became somber and deep, faintly revealing a few traces of obscure evil.
Those evil eyes glanced at Rose beside him, then withdrew, and said: "Let them come."
The old nun and the remaining senior Yu Sect officials showed expressions of ecstatic joy.
They knew, it was allowed.
And there were many martial artists and armor-clad soldiers who had infiltrated Lingbo Mansion these days.
They didn’t dare to be too ruthless, so they had always been restrained, but now with Buddha’s permission, they could naturally kill them all.
Tonight, it’s time to act!
...
...
Outside Lingbo Mansion, on a high mountain.
With tentacles, rooted in mudrock, Li Xuan closed his eyes to rest.
Amid the dark clouds, a White Bone Bird flew by...
Its gaze was cast on the distant mansion city.
The seemingly ordinary city, in the next instant, without any warning, burst into a roar, flames, and cries of killing.
Li Xuan let the White Bone Birds fly a little closer, only to see incense pervading the city, with many monks whose bodies were dyed with turbid membranes wielding knives to kill. Clashing against them was row after row of armor-clad soldiers who had infiltrated the city.
As for the Secret Martial Artist, they were hiding in the shadows, guerrilla fighting constantly.
Previously, Secret Martial Artists relied only on their own strength, but now they seemed to be equipped with ice crystal weapons.
The cooperation between the Prime Minister’s Office and the Grand General was clearly greater than the sum of its parts, bringing an overall improvement.
Secret Martial Artists were attacking tough positions, armor-clad soldiers were consuming them.
Lingbo Mansion grew increasingly chaotic.
Many martial artists, even ordinary civilians also joined the fray.
They would quietly open doors to deliver fatal blows to those injured armored soldiers.
And just as the battlefield became ever more chaotic and stalemate, a burning meteor suddenly streaked across the sky over Lingbo Mansion.
That was not a meteor, but Thunderbolt Vehicles that had been secretly brought into the city.
Thunderbolt Vehicles, namely catapults.
The stones thrown out were not just stones, but specially manufactured burning stones, once these stones landed and encountered wood, they would blaze fiercely.
More than ten Thunderbolt Vehicles appeared near Bright Temple, with giant stones whistling through the sky, crashing onto a temple, with a "crack" the temple broke through, and inside, beams and wooden columns caught fire.
