In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 355 Plot?

“Master Shuiyue, that golden statue of merit…”

Shuiyue's voice drifted over: "It was refined from a relic of merit from this old monk..."

"The remnants of the White Lotus sect have been plotting to seize this old monk's relic body, intending it as a vessel for the descent of the 'Buddha',"

"The old monk's primordial spirit transformed into the fiery inferno of calamity, suppressing the sins committed here, yet he was never able to erase them, and his magical power was greatly diminished, thus allowing the White Lotus Sect to take advantage of the situation,"

"Fortunately, this old monk was prepared. What you saw when you came to Guanyin Temple last time was a wisp of my remnant. At that time, the remnants of the White Lotus were hiding in the temple. I was worried about harming the innocent, so I could only stay in the temple and dared not make any rash moves. I never expected to see you, young friend."

“Young benefactor, you possess an extraordinary appearance, which has pleased this old monk and is why I have come to meet you.”

"As we bestow upon you the century-old incense offerings, we also enshrine the golden statue of the relic within the incense, allowing you, young benefactor, to leave Guanyin Temple, thus avoiding the eyes and ears of the remnants of the White Lotus sect, and enabling the golden statue to be delivered."

"Unfortunately, the old monk's physical body was still stolen by the remnants of the White Lotus sect..."

"To my shame, this old monk originally intended to avert calamity, but instead, I have fueled the demonic flames,"

"The remnants of the White Lotus stole the old monk's body and turned it into a living Buddha. The living Buddha Gu they have used to create merit donors over the years originated from the old monk's body."

After hearing this, Xie Lingxin finally understood the whole story.

It turns out that it was all related to the White Lotus Society. They had been haunting Leizhou for a long time, never leaving.

No wonder he was the only one who saw Shuiyue back then.

"Shortly after that, the remnants of the White Lotus sect began to stir again, devising other methods to commit further sins,"

"This old monk's last remaining spirit was already barely clinging to life, and now he has no strength left. If it weren't for Benefactor Fan and Fellow Daoist Wulong, this old monk would probably have been annihilated by this boundless sin."

"Furthermore, with the physical body stolen, the old monk can't even sense the golden relic, nor does he know where it is,"

"Fortunately, young benefactor, you helped my golden body escape the calamity, allowing this old monk's lingering spirit to sense my presence. I intended to call upon you for help, but alas, my lingering spirit is powerless..."

"Fortunately, all things arise and cease according to their own destiny, and the young benefactor has finally arrived..."

It turned out to be like this...

After listening to him say so much, Xie Lingxin knew that he must have something more to say.

"Master Shuiyue, is there something you want me to do?"

Shuiyue said with lingering regret, "The remnants of the White Lotus have gone to great lengths and committed countless sins, all to welcome the descent of the 'Buddha'."

"They failed back then, so their renewed actions now must mean they're confident of success."

"'Buddha' is a legendary being, and its power is vast and immeasurable. If it were to descend into the material world, it would inevitably be accompanied by the annihilation of countless substances and beings before it could complete its transformation and descent."

"I'm afraid that tens of millions of lives in Leizhou will be plunged into this blood sacrifice catastrophe!"

“Young benefactor, leave quickly and have Elder Fan report to the Federation, telling them everything this old monk has said. This is no longer a calamity that Leizhou can handle on its own.”

"I heard it..."

Fan Dongliu's voice came through: "Master Shuiyue, it's been hard for you to persevere for so many years, but I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you..."

“I’ve already tried, but someone is interfering…”

Master Shuiyue remained silent, showing no remorse, but did not ask why, as if he already knew the reason.

Xie Lingxin also vaguely guessed some of it.

No wonder a special task force suddenly appeared...

If it's just because of the trouble he caused, then having so many veteran, top-tier experts come is really overestimating himself.

No matter how much it's reported, it's likely that in the end, it will still be someone from a powerful family like Xiao Longtu who has ulterior motives.

After a long pause, Shuiyue said again, "In that case, there is one more thing... That golden body is formed from the merits and skills accumulated by this old monk over hundreds of years."

"If the young benefactor can bring him to Guanyin Temple, this old monk, with his golden body, will be able to recover some of his cultivation and have a better chance of dealing with the remnants of the White Lotus."

“That’s easy to do. After I finish what I need to do here, I will send the golden statue back to Guanyin Temple.”

Xie Lingxin had no reason to refuse.

The old monk's actions were truly admirable.

Selflessly sacrificing oneself for others is something not everyone can do.

If it weren't for that golden body of merit, Xie Lingxin wouldn't have believed that anyone could have done this.

Back then, the old monk was the true number one person in Leizhou. With such status, position, and cultivation, why would he put himself in this predicament for someone unrelated?

"I am ashamed of the great calamity this old monk has caused..."

Just as Shuiyue's sigh rang out, suddenly, countless black wisps of energy erupted from below, surging forth in torrents.

Those black, ghostly figures, resembling rotting corpses, suddenly seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, and began to climb upwards frantically, while simultaneously gnawing at the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue formed from the remnants of Shuiyue's spirit.

It was almost instantly engulfed by it.

Shuiyue's voice then ceased.

"The Holy Path!"

"Great indeed is the Qian Yuan, the origin of all things!"

"When a sage appears, he will inherit the mandate of Heaven and rule the world, setting an example for all generations!"

With a loud shout, Fan Dongliu's primordial spirit rose up in the sky above his head.

An invisible force spread out.

"Young friend, the situation has changed! Leave immediately!"

Fan Dongliu's warning voice rang in my ears.

Seeing this, Xie Lingxin dared not delay any longer.

He did not obey and leave.

He scattered a handful of yellow talismans.

Fortunately, he had prepared many Earth Official Talismans beforehand.

Hands form a mudra, feet planted on the ground.

"The crimson inscription illuminates the Northern Feng, the Nine Netherworlds open their gates. The register of sins burns with the flames, the black book turns to blue smoke!"

"The four forms of birth and the six realms of existence, hungry ghosts and impoverished souls, lonely and wandering ghosts, still trapped in hell, living and dying beings, bound by shackles and chains, imprisoned and confined!"

"Upon seeing my decree, your original sins will be eradicated, the root of your grievances will be removed, and your transgressions will be forever eliminated!"

"The local official pardons the sin!"

"Edict!"

It was as if an invisible gate had opened, and endless black energy surged out from the void.

Compared to the boundless sins beneath her feet, it all seemed even darker and heavier. Xie Lingxin even had the leisure to complain in her mind.

He was bald, wearing a kasaya, and chanting the Three Officials Mantra.

I wonder if the Three Officials or the Buddha, if they truly had a spirit, would want to kill him?

The black energy surged directly into the ground beneath his feet, into the mirror-like barrier.

Each ghostly figure and demonic form vanished instantly, as if snow had met water.

In just a short while, all the demons on the Thousand-Hand Guanyin's body were cleared away, revealing her full form.

Tall as a mountain, solemn and compassionate.

However, the stains and dirt on it gave it a slightly melancholic appearance.

Above him, Fan Dongliu's primordial spirit cast a glance down, revealing a hint of surprise.

He hadn't expected Xie Lingxin's supernatural abilities to be so powerful.

There are many sins here, but if given enough time, they may one day be erased.

However, this will inevitably be a time-consuming and laborious task, and may even damage the foundation.

This young friend doesn't seem like the type to sacrifice himself for others; he probably wouldn't be happy about it...

"Young friend, just hold on a little longer, I'll be right back."

Fan Dongliu knew that the time had come.

This supernatural power was so great that it was enough to buy him time to treat the girl.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scroll of the Human Emperor rolled up, and Fan Dongliu's primordial spirit vanished instantly.

Xie Lingxin was already feeling the pressure.

Supernatural powers are indeed supernatural powers, but they still require human intervention to execute them.

There are too many sins here.

Compared to before, the sins of those child ghosts were like a bag of sand, but here they are like a mountain!
The Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue, which he had just purified, was now overrun by countless demons, almost annihilating it once again.

"The Earth Official is guilty of a heinous crime!"

"Edict!"

Xie Lingxin gritted her teeth and used the Earth Official's Divine Power once again.

Again and again, in an endless cycle.

This sin seems to be endless.

After displaying his supernatural powers more than ten times, he made a comeback once again.

Xie Lingxin was already exhausted...

"The Holy Path!"

"How great is the Qian Yuan!"

An invisible force descended, and Xie Lingxin's pressure eased dramatically.

"Young friend, the deed is done, leave quickly!"

Xie Lingxin glanced at the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue, which had once again been engulfed by demons. Although she was unwilling, she knew that she could no longer stay.

He quickly stopped, connected with the Heart Lamp, and left the place.

……

With her primordial spirit returning, Xie Lingxin opened her eyes.

Lu Wan noticed his somewhat nervous expression, and when she saw him open his eyes, she was immediately delighted: "How are you? Are you alright?"

Xie Lingxin shook her head and stood up: "Where's the four-eyed girl?"

Lu Wan said, "Don't worry, Elder Fan has already removed the Corpse Heart Gu poison from her. However, her mental trauma is too severe, and she will probably need to recuperate for a while before she can wake up."

"Now that you're awake, take her home."

Xie Lingxin nodded and said to Fan Dongliu, "Thank you, Elder Fan."

Fan Dongliu seemed somewhat tired, nodded slightly, and remained silent.

"Senior Wulong, I'll be going now."

"Go."

Xie Lingxin glanced at them and suddenly felt something was off.

However, I was exhausted just now and in a hurry to see the girl with glasses, so I didn't have time to think about it carefully.

After he left Guanyin Temple with the girl with glasses.

Wu Long Zhenren scratched his long beard and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to scheme against him like this?"

Fan Dongliu sighed softly, "The Golden Body of Merit is not something everyone can bear."

"This young friend Xie is born with a noble destiny; even the divine power of the Human Emperor can be used by him, which speaks volumes,"

"Besides him, no one can bear the immense merit of Master Shuiyue."

"We two old folks don't mind, but Inspector Lu..."

He looked at Lu Wan and said, "It's hard on Inspector Lu, to play this role with us. I'm afraid that young friend Xie will hold a grudge against you in the future."

Lu Wan laughed and said, "I always intended to take advantage of him, so it's understandable that he resents me."

"Moreover, neither Master Fan nor the real person lied to him."

"but……"

She hesitated for a moment: "Old Fan, is it really necessary to go this far? Xie Lingxin... can he really do it?"

Fan Dongliu sighed, "Perhaps... The remnants of the White Lotus Sect, fearing Elder Cui's unparalleled divination skills, attacked and severely injured him. Elder Cui used the last half of his life to divine this only way out..."

"I just hope nothing unexpected happens..."

Lu Wan was still puzzled: "Then why not just tell him directly? I don't think he's the kind of person who would disregard the safety of Leizhou."

Master Wulong stroked his beard and said, "This is my idea. This child may seem mischievous, but he is actually kind-hearted."

“The path of cultivation is long and arduous, allowing no room for error. If he knew the truth, he might not be willing to accept it. If he also bears the burden of Master Shuiyue's life and great kindness, I fear he will be left with inner demons in the future…”

Lu Wan opened her mouth, but said nothing more.

What magic does Xie Lingxin possess that allows her to simultaneously gain the favor and attention of so many senior experts?
