"What Zhui Yuan said is that if any of us reaches the top, we have to start over again. In other words, as long as one of us reaches the top, this test will be considered a success for us."

Before setting off to climb the tower, Yun Xi called his companions into the room and told them his views.

You Ting said quietly: "So, you want us to help this little fox climb to the top together?"

"What little fox?! This fox is the noble Tianshan Snow Fox! The pure bloodline of the mythical beast!"

Bai Qing jumped angrily. How many times! Everyone is always like this!

But no one paid attention to it, Yun Xi said: "This is the best way at the moment, and it is also a feasible way."

They were lucky, the person who came in with them happened to be Bai Qing. If it was Niu Wenhua or someone else, then their method would definitely not work.

"The pagoda has a thousand floors. If we climb up separately, if we want to reach the top within an hour, it will take at least a long time of extra practice. But if we work separately, we should be able to do it."

You Ting thought for a while: "One thousand floors, so each of us needs to be responsible for 250 floors, and we need to connect to the 250 floors within half an hour. This is not easy. No more rest?"

They can only climb seven to eight hundred floors in an hour. Now that their physical strength has not fully recovered, it is not easy to climb to the 250 floors in half an hour.

"Don't worry, I will buy you a little more time."

Yun Xi didn't want to spend too much time in Buddha City.

She came from a blue planet, and she knew better than anyone else what kind of attraction it would be for people trapped in one place once they knew the vastness of the outside world.

When Ying Nianling ran to the 750th floor, there was still more than half an hour left before the brazier went out.

"Bai Qing, you have to... come on!"

The panting Ying Nianling said to the little fox on her shoulder.

Bai Qing raised his little paw as if giving a thumbs up.

"Do not worry,

It's time to show off the snow fox's speed! "

Bai Qing kicked off her hind legs and jumped directly from Ying Nianling's shoulder to the pillar next to her.

Then Ying Nianling saw Bai Qing grabbing the slightly rough wooden pillar and climbing up like a gecko.

It used its hands and feet to go up several floors in one go, a speed that even Yun Xi could put to shame.

The onlookers could only look up from downstairs. The distance of hundreds of floors was no longer visible to the naked eye. They could only wait for the results to be announced.

"I wonder if they can do it..."

The crowd was talking quietly, and it seemed that they were more concerned about the results of their test than Yun Xi and the others.

"I guess it will be quite difficult. Are they planning to carry the little fox up there? Even if it is such a small fox, it will be very hard to carry it up so many floors."

"But didn't you just see Miss Yun's movements? She just climbed up with bare hands. She is really a god."

Someone shrank their shoulders: "Are people in the outside world so scary? No wonder our ancestors wanted to flee."

Some people looked regretful and longing: "But I also want to see how people from the outside world can practice so well, alas..."

In such a tense and exciting time, time passed very slowly, and soon there were only the last ten minutes left.

There was no movement from the top of the tower yet.

"Is this going to fail?"

Some people raised their heads and squinted hard to look online, but they could see nothing except a dark dot.

Zhuiyuan looked at the brazier in front of him. There was an hourglass next to the brazier. A lot of the sand in the hourglass had drained away, leaving only the last bit of fine sand.

When the hourglasses are empty, he will extinguish the brazier.

"It seems there are still some..."

Boom——

A bell sounded from the top of the pagoda, and the huge sound reverberated throughout the pagoda and reached everyone's ears instantly.

Boom——

Boom——

The bell rang nine times in a row before it gradually went out. All the onlookers looked up with expressions of surprise.

"Is this... a success?"

They turned their attention to Chai Yuan.

Zhui Yuan walked quietly to the brazier, extinguished the brazier, and said something to it calmly.

"Congratulations."

"Miss Yun, you can go directly to the top of the tower."

After the bell echoed for dozens of seconds, Fang Qing appeared from the teleportation array on the side of the corridor and announced to Yun Xi that they had succeeded.

After some time of rest, Yun Xi's physical strength recovered a little. When she heard Fang Qing's words, she nodded and said, "Thank you."

After teleporting through the spiritual array, Yun Xi soon appeared on the top of the pagoda.

At the same time as she appeared, Ying Nianling and You Tingjing also arrived.

The three of them glanced around and found the little white-furred fox.

Bai Qing completely collapsed to the ground at this moment, her whole body limp, her snow-white hair hanging down, completely losing her previous beauty and nobility.

Yun Xi reached out to pick it up and praised: "Not bad, I saw you right."

Bai Qing lay in Yun Xi's arms, losing the strength to speak.

At this time, the teleportation array on the side flickered again, and the monk Zhuiyuan in cassocks had appeared here.

Zhuiyuan saluted to several people and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the donors, you succeeded."

Yun Xi stretched out her hand to comb Bai Qing's hair and asked, "Can I see your abbot now?"

"Of course, please come with me."

There is only one ring floor on the highest floor of the tower, and the walls are illuminated by oil lamps. The only opening other than the corridor is a small door on the side.

Zhui Yuan pushed open the small door and walked in.

Yun Xi and others followed him. Looking at the dark corridor, Yun Xi couldn't help but ask: "Is it so dark upstairs?"

Zhuiyuan explained with a smile: "It's just this section that's dark."

With a soft sound, the door at the other end of the aisle was opened, and bright light shone in. The brightness made Yun Xi close her eyes directly.

When she finally got used to the light in front of her and opened her eyes, a scene as beautiful as a picture scroll suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

The blue sky is right in front of you, the clouds are touchable, and the ancient bronze bell stands in front of you, as if it is standing in the clouds...

At the other end of the aisle is the top of the pagoda. There is no cover on it, and the sky is visible when you reach out.

For Yun Xi and the others, this should have been a scene seen everywhere, but the feeling of seeing it in this case was still different. The fatigue of climbing the stairs before seemed to have completely dissipated the moment they saw such a beautiful scenery.

Gu Zhuiyuan stood by the door and did not go out. He just said to Yun Xi and the others, "The abbot is waiting for you outside."

Yun Xi withdrew her gaze from the sky and the ancient clock, and said calmly to Zhui Yuan, "Thank you very much."

Zhuiyuan smiled and said nothing, watching several people walk out.

After walking out of the aisle, the scene outside was fully displayed in front of Yun Xi's eyes.

This is a large open space. On the open space is a huge ancient clock that looks very old. Beyond the ancient clock is a small Buddha statue and an altar. They met Yun Xi and the others on the third floor. The altar is somewhat similar.

Next to the altar, there is a futon, and an old monk with a white beard is kneeling on the futon and knocking on the wooden fish.

Yun Xi and Ying Nian Ling You Ting looked at each other quietly and looked at the old monk together.

Tuk…tuk…tuk…tuk…

The sound of knocking on wooden fish came rhythmically. The abbot did not open his eyes, and Yun Xi and the others did not speak.

I don't know how much time passed like this, but the sound of wooden fish finally stopped.

The abbot slowly opened his eyes, put the Jianzhi aside, and stood up from the futon.

He turned around, looked at each other with Yun Xi and others, and then said softly: "Hello donors."

Yun Xi and others also responded politely: "I've met the abbot."

The abbot had a kind face. When they first met, he smiled and asked Yun Xi: "Donor Yun, what do you think of the scenery here?"

Yun Xi said: "In the Buddha City, it must be a scene that everyone is fascinated by."

The abbot smiled and nodded, and then asked You Tingjing: "How do you think, Donor You, of the execution of this trip to the tower?"

You Tingjing's expression still had a hint of frivolity, she thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit tiring after all."

The abbot's smile grew stronger and he asked Ying Nianling again: "Does Ying Donor think the food in the city is to your liking?"

Ying Nianling thought for a long time: "Well...it's still delicious, but not as delicious as Yunxi's!"

The abbot couldn't help laughing, and finally looked at Bai Qing in Yun Xi's arms: "Donor Bai, what do you think of this clock?"

Bai Qing lay weakly in Yun Xi's arms. When he heard the abbot's question, he raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at the ancient clock, and then narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, it's been a long time, but it's just too old. You still have to learn from our snow fox clan when it comes to maintaining your monk tower."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The abbot laughed a few times this time and said: "Yes, the old monk also feels that this bell is old, just like the old monk himself, just like this Buddha City."

He walked towards the altar and said, "The donors must be here for the Buddha."

Yun Xi took a step forward and said, "Abbott you, I've informed you."

The abbot smiled and said to them, "Come up here."

The three of them walked directly to the altar without any ink marks.

This altar is almost the same as the altar they saw on the third floor. The only difference other than the size is that where the four stone pillars were originally placed, there is a Buddha statue.

This Buddha statue is not big, only one person tall. The bottom is inlaid with a square stone. There are four concave marks on the four sides of the square stone.

The size and shape of this mark completely coincide with the jade pendants obtained by the four of them.

The abbot said: "Put the tokens you have earned into the stone carvings, and then you can see the Buddha again. But..."

Seeing the abbot pause, Yun Xi and others immediately stopped the urge to put on the jade pendants. Yun Xi asked: "Just what?"

The abbot said: "But once you choose to meet the Buddha, it means you have to take over this city."

"Take over this city?"

The expressions of several people changed, not from rejection, but from confusion and surprise: "Why is this?"

Xiang Xiang smiled kindly and explained: "Buddha City is the city of Buddha. If you want to inherit the mantle of Buddha, you will naturally take over the city of Buddha. Buddha City is getting old, and so am I. It is true that it is also the city of Buddha." It’s time to change to some younger, different city lords.”

They suddenly understood the meaning of the questions the abbot asked them before.

Regardless of his own fatigue, Bai Qing raised his head from Yun Xi's arms. For such an important matter, several people exchanged glances with each other.

It is impossible to avoid the inheritance of the gods, but it is also huge to shoulder the responsibility of protecting a city and the millions of people in the city.

This is a choice that needs to be made carefully.

The white clouds moved lightly, the air at the top of the tower was very thin, and the wind was colder. Yun Xi's hair was blown up, and her beautiful face overshadowed the sky.

She took a few steps forward and put the jade pendant in her hand into the stone carving.

Ying Nianling followed closely and placed her jade pendant in a stone carving.

Bai Qing jumped out of Yun Xi's arms, held the jade pendant in her little paws, and stuffed it into the stone carving unsteadily.

You Ting smiled softly: "Being the city lord with Xiao Yunxi makes me happy just thinking about it~"

So her jade pendant was placed on the last stone carving.

The four jade pendants returned to their positions, and the stones under the Buddha statue trembled slightly. Bright spiritual light emitted from the jade pendants, gradually converging on the Buddha statue.

The light flows very slowly, constantly interweaving on the Buddha statue, and golden cracks appear everywhere they pass.

The Buddha statue trembled, and with a crisp sound, it broke into pieces.

Including the abbot, the four people and one fox on the top of the tower all focused their attention on the broken Buddha statue.

When the fragments fell to the ground, golden light appeared in front of them. It was golden light that was more dazzling than the sun. It was not dazzling and exuded a sacred aura.

In the golden light, a figure wearing a golden cassock slowly emerged. This was a monk who looked very young. He was dressed in noble clothes, with handsome facial features, a cinnabar mole on his eyebrows, his feet were red, and his body was... Translucent forms emerge.

He walked out of the golden light, took one step down, and stopped in front of Yun Xi and others.

The young monk slowly opened his eyes, and saw Yun Xi and the others at the first glance. He retracted his gaze, looked around the world, and then looked at Yun Xi and the others again.

"Were you the ones who woke me up?"

Yun Xi, three people and one fox immediately saluted: "Juniors have met senior Buddha!"

The abbot knelt down and worshiped the spirit body: "The 21775th abbot of the Buddhist temple, An Gu, pays homage to the Buddha!"

The young monk was silent for a moment, and then with a smile on his face: "Buddha... I haven't heard this name for a long time. Is this Buddha City?"

The abbot said: "Lord Buddha, this is the Buddha City."

When the Buddha heard the words, he turned around, stepped on the void, and walked outside the complex of the pagoda.

He lowered his head, overlooking the entire Buddha City. He did this for only half a moment before he softly sighed: "This city has not changed."

He asked: "How many years have passed since the Buddha City was moved to this place?"

The abbot replied: "One thousand, eighty-eight thousand, seven hundred and twenty-six years have passed."

"More than ten million years have passed... No wonder it's like this..."

He muttered to himself, then turned around and looked at Yun Xi and others who followed him to the guardrail.

"You are here for my inheritance, right?"
