Mortal Bones

"Master Kasyapa, do you know how much gold and essence I have on me at this moment?"

Xu Taiping sent a message to Master Kasyapa in his heart.

In addition to the gold essence money taken from Liang Chengshan and Dong Qiushui after killing them that night, even after deducting the gold essence money consumed by the three ghost statues, Xu Taiping still had five million gold essence money in his hands.

If it weren't for the fact that the ghost statue could only take action for him once a month, he could have asked the ghost master and the old smoker to follow him.

Master Kasyapa asked:

"How many?"

Xu Taiping replied:

"four million."

He deliberately said less.

This Master Kasyapa seems to be loyal, but in fact he is full of evil.

Master Kasyapa was surprised and said:

"Taiping Donor, you, you are so prosperous!"

Hearing the tone of Master Kasyapa's words, Xu Taiping suddenly felt confident - the bad luck might be true, but it was definitely not as serious as he said.

Master Kasyapa also realized that he had lost his temper, so he adjusted his tone and continued seriously:

"Taiping Donor, although it doesn't cost as much as four million gold coins, but if you want to eliminate the disaster you are about to encounter, three million gold coins are still needed."

Xu Taiping picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

He glanced at the Master of the Lost Pearl Tower, Evil Lord Qingtong and True Lord Yunhe in front of him, and found that they were still arguing about how to enter the Golden Court Cave Heavenly Queen, so he calmly asked Master Kasyapa in his heart:

"Master Kasyapa, tell me what exactly is the disaster you are talking about."

"If it is really necessary, let alone three million gold coins, even thirty million gold coins, I will find a way to help you get it together."

Master Kasyapa hurriedly explained:

"It's not that, not that serious."

"And this golden money is the most important thing for cause and effect. Using the golden money from burning, killing and looting to build a golden body will not only be unable to offset disasters, but will actually cause disasters."

After a brief explanation, Master Kasyapa continued to transmit:

"As for the current disaster you are facing, Taiping Donor, it was unintentionally calculated by the young monk when he couldn't contact you."

"The specific reason, the young monk can't tell."

"I only know that according to this calculation, within the next few days, Taiping Donor, you will encounter a disaster."

"Once this disaster strikes, tens of thousands of people, including you, Taiping Benefactor, will be killed."

"And this disaster cannot be prevented by human power alone."

"The only way the poor monk can think of to cope with the disaster is to cast a golden body of the ancient Buddha Kasyapa with gold and fine money, and let the young monk borrow this golden body. Taiping Benefactor, you can prevent this disaster."

Although Master Kasyapa still failed to clarify the specific cause of this disaster, Xu Taiping could not find any fault with his explanation.

Especially after recalling the situation when Master Kasyapa had predicted in advance that he was about to be chased by Yiye Shu when he was in Youyun Tian, ​​he felt that he could at least believe what Master Kasyapa said.

Xu Taiping said to Master Kasyapa:

"Master Kasyapa, let me think about it again."

Master Kasyapa replied:

"Taiping Almsgiver, the young monk's mood is becoming more and more difficult to calm down. I'm afraid this disaster will happen soon. You must make a decision early!"

Xu Taiping said:

"It takes half a cup of tea at most."

With that said, he immediately told Fairy Lingyue every word of the conversation he had just had with Master Kasyapa.

Fairy Lingyue said in surprise:

"Unexpectedly, Master Kasyapa not only failed to seal the memories related to you by Emperor Xuanhuang's Wangyoufeng, but he also calculated disasters that even Lian Tong could not calculate."

"If his prediction is true, it can only be said that after rebuilding the Buddhist temple of Kasyapa Ancient Buddha, his cultivation has improved to a level that neither you nor I can imagine."

When Xu Taiping heard this, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

At this time, Fairy Lingyue said to Xu Taiping:

"Taiping, please tell Nagasyapa the situation of the nine dragons covering the sun and see if he can learn anything from it."

Xu Taiping's heart moved when he heard this.

Just now, because he was too concerned about the golden money and the disaster mentioned by Nagasyapa, he actually forgot to inform Master Kasyapa about the situation here.

Immediately, Xu Taiping began to transmit messages to Master Kasyapa, briefly describing where he was and the situation he was currently experiencing.

Hearing this, Master Kasyapa was surprised, and then said in a tone full of surprise:

"Old Dragon Court? Dragon covering the sun? Doesn't this coincide with my dream?"

Xu Taiping asked in surprise:

"Dream?"

Master Kasyapa replied:

"A few months ago, after the young monk sensed that you, Taiping Donor, came out of the Xuanhuang Tower, he tried to contact you, Taiping Donor."

"But despite repeated attempts, Taiping Donor, you have not heard the little monk's voice."

"On that day, the young monk, who had not had any dreams since he woke up, actually entered a dream for no reason while chanting sutras in the temple."

"In the dream, several karma-ridden evil dragons were entrenched in the sky, overlooking the city below."

"In just a moment, he used the dragon's breath from his mouth to reduce the entire city below to rubble."

"However, the young monk heard from the monks who came to the secret realm that the real dragons had long been extinct in the Shangqing Realm, so he only regarded those evil dragons as a powerful symbol of the disaster you are about to encounter, Taiping Donor."

"But I didn't expect that this is what happened to you, Taiping Donor, when you encountered disaster today."

Xu Taiping frowned slightly and said:

"But Master Kasyapa, although the Nine Dragons Covering the Sun is dangerous and strange, the old Dragon City where I am now was originally built to resist the Nine Dragons Covering the Sun."

"Now this old Dragon City has stood in the Sea of ​​Dry Stones for thousands of years. It has encountered countless nine dragons blocking the sun and is still safe and sound."

"So this time, it shouldn't be a disaster for me, right?"

After a moment of silence, Master Kasyapa suddenly asked Xu Taiping:

"Taiping Donor, you just said that there were nine dragon shadows in total in the sky above the Old Dragon Court?"

Xu Taiping replied:

"Yes, it's Jiudao, that's right."

Master Kasyapa said:

"The young monk just thought carefully about it. There were ten evil dragons that appeared in my dream that day."

Master Kasyapa said again:

"The young monk guesses that the disaster you are about to encounter, Taiping Donor, may appear on this tenth evil dragon."

Xu Taiping said in confusion:

"But according to several seniors here, there were at most nine dragon shadows appearing in the sandstorm dragon breath in the Old Dragon Court..."

Having said this, Xu Taiping suddenly paused, then stopped transmitting messages to Master Kasyapa, and turned to look at the Master of Yi Zhu Tower and True Monarch Yunhe:

"Two of you, in the sandstorm of the Old Dragon Court, was it really true that only nine dragon shadows appeared at the same time?"

The owner of Yizhu Tower and True Lord Yunhe were stunned by Xu Taiping's sudden question.

The owner of Yizhu Tower nodded and said after being stunned for a moment:

"Since it is called Nine Dragons covering the sun, then naturally there are only nine dragons."

True Lord Yunhe also nodded and said:

"In all my years in the Old Dragon Court, I have indeed only seen nine dragon shadows."

Xu Taiping, who had received confirmation once again, was about to thank the two of them and then continue to communicate with the ancient Buddha Kasyapa. However, before he could say his thanks, he was interrupted by the evil Lord Qing Tong sitting opposite -

"In the sandstorm dragon breath of the old dragon court, it is true that only nine dragon shadows appeared at most, but this does not include the old dragon outside the secret realm of the thirty-two spirit beads in the dry stone sea."
