Legend of Zixia

Chapter 231 The Second Disciple

Snow areas have always been shrouded in mystery, and there are always some phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense, attracting people to explore. Zixia and her group followed the strange breath all the way, full of expectation and a bit of caution in their hearts.

Of course, Zixia's trip was not to study the power of Buddhist faith, but to find a "little squirrel" - a being with extraordinary talent and ethereal mind. If this kind of creature is enlightened, it may even accidentally step into the realm of God. Along the way, everyone crossed the vast land and finally came to LS. From afar, they could see the Potala Palace built on the mountain, majestic and magnificent, emitting golden brilliance in the sun. As a sacred place of XZ Buddhism, it has had an extraordinary status since ancient times and is a pilgrimage place in the hearts of countless believers.

The square was crowded with people and incense was burning. Some people were shaking prayer wheels and chanting in a low voice; some people were bowing their heads with every step, their foreheads were covered with dust, but their expressions were pious. They were not practitioners, but they practiced a certain belief in their own way. This persistence in praying for the afterlife made Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue stop and stare, feeling a power that struck their hearts.

However, Longma snorted with disdain: "These people are ridiculous! They actually believe in this! What is the afterlife? It's just self-consolation!" Although its voice was very low, there was a strong contempt in its tone, "After all, it's nothing more than collecting the power of faith!"

When they reached their level of cultivation, they naturally understood the truth that life would return to nothingness. But the power of pure faith was a treasure with infinite uses. Those pious intentions gathered into invisible energy, nourishing this land and making it a special place.

Zixia shook her head slightly, her eyes calm but firm: "If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist. It's better to stay away from it." She didn't say much, but focused on the slight vibration coming from the bronze ring. Combining the digital secret technique with the law of fate, she has initially locked the location of the "little squirrel".

Zixia's extreme deduction ability and a little insight into fate enable her to accurately capture her target. Unless the other party is carrying a treasure or is far superior to her, no one can escape her deduction. Under Zixia's intentional or unintentional guidance, the group traveled through the vast no-man's land and learned an interesting rumor: "The Buddhist world is about to open!"

Everyone was puzzled, and after careful inquiry, they found that there were many different opinions. Some people said that the Pure Land of Bliss had opened up, and he felt the power of Buddha; some people said that Buddha had resurrected in the Pure Land; and some people said that the door of Buddhism had opened up, showing the Dharma to the world. It was difficult to tell whether these rumors were true or false, but they all revealed a strange atmosphere.

Passing through a large uninhabited area, they saw some dilapidated ancient temples that had long since fallen into ruins. Despite this, these places unexpectedly emitted strong fluctuations that shocked people's minds. Zixia frowned slightly, as if she had noticed something.

"Finally found you!" Zixia suddenly stopped and fixed her eyes on a stone mountain in front of her. There, another ancient temple ruins came into view. However, as they approached, they felt like they were being watched.

Longma was about to yell, but was stopped by Zixia. "Don't scare him!" Zixia said softly, then got off the horse and walked slowly towards the ruins of the ancient temple. She stared at a broken stone Buddha and walked closer step by step.

Just as she reached out to touch the stone Buddha, "whoosh" a purple light suddenly rushed up from behind the stone Buddha, as fast as lightning, and went straight into the stone mountain.

Zixia looked up, her eyes twinkling, and she climbed up the stone mountain a hundred meters high in one step. She stood on the edge of the cliff, staring sharply at a bowl-sized stone cave. There, a small stone Buddha as tall as a palm half blocked the entrance of the cave, emitting a faint light.

"So it's hiding here." Zixia smiled and looked at the cave entrance with a gentle gaze. The cave was dry and round, and it was obvious that animals often came in and out. The cave walls were polished smooth and shiny, as if they had been carefully carved over the years. The palm-high stone Buddha half blocked the cave entrance, like a loyal guardian, protecting the creatures in the cave from wind and rain.

"Gululu..."

A slight sound came from the cave, and a pair of bright eyes timidly poked their heads out, rolling around, both afraid and curious. This was a psychic creature, and it was really surprising that it could have such extraordinary skills in the Dharma Ending Age. "Come out, we won't hurt you." Zixia said softly, her tone as gentle as a spring breeze. She did not release her spiritual sense to oppress, but restrained her own breath to the minimum, so as not to disturb this timid guy. For such a little thing with pure spiritual energy and extraordinary talent, her heart was full of pity and expectation.

The little creature hesitated for a moment, and finally poked its head out carefully. It first looked around with its big, lively eyes, then stretched out its two furry little paws to bow, as if to express goodwill. Then, it slowly stood up and stood firmly at the edge of the cave, but its eyes were still a little wary.

Zixia carefully observed the little creature and secretly admired it in her heart - it was only one foot long, and if you included the fluffy tail, it would be two feet long. Its whole body was shining with purple light, and its fur was as soft as silk. Every hair was shining with a crystal luster, as if covered with a layer of purple crystal. Especially its big black gemstone eyes, blinking wateryly, looked particularly clever and cute.

"What a rare species!" Zixia couldn't help but sigh in a low voice. A squirrel with a purple glow all over its body, like a work of art, is indeed rare in the world. Its existence itself is a miracle, not to mention that it can cultivate the ability to walk in the world in this Dharma Ending Age, which is even more amazing.

Zixia squatted down and gently picked up the palm-high stone Buddha. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It's so heavy!" The seemingly rough stone Buddha was surprisingly heavy, weighing a thousand pounds. This was definitely not an ordinary object, but a treasure that contained great power. She turned to look at the little squirrel and found that it was staring at her pitifully, with eyes full of reluctance.

The little squirrel stretched out its claws tentatively, wanting to get its treasure back, but it didn't dare to act rashly, so it could only lower its head and fiddle with its claws, looking aggrieved. Zixia smiled and put the little stone Buddha back to its original place, signaling it to rest assured.

"Don't worry, I won't take your things." Zixia said softly, her tone full of sincerity and comfort.

The little squirrel immediately became excited after hearing this, blinking its big eyes and waving its little paws again, as if to express its gratitude. It jumped a few times excitedly, then puffed out its chest, as if ready to show off its skills.

"Let me see what you can do." Zixia said with interest, looking at it gently.

The little squirrel immediately got excited when he heard it. He saw his body flashing, and turned into a purple light that soared into the sky, flying hundreds of feet high. He took steps swaying in the air, and actually took more than ten steps in the air. Although his posture was a little clumsy, it was also quite majestic.

However, before it could be proud for too long, its strength was exhausted, and its body suddenly lost balance and fell rapidly. Zixia raised her hand and waved it, and a gentle force supported it and sent it back to the ground steadily.

"Not bad, for a little fellow who has learned everything on his own, it's already quite impressive." Zixia encouraged with a smile, her tone full of appreciation. She reached out and gently rubbed its soft ears, feeling the pure spiritual energy emanating from it, and nodded in approval, "It seems that you really understand human nature. In this case, you will be my second disciple from now on! I hope you can inherit my legacy in the future!!"

When the little squirrel heard this, he was so happy that he turned around in circles and deliberately shook his big fluffy tail to try to attract more attention. His naive appearance made Zixia, who was always calm, smile.
