But then he thought about it, and realized that these monks did all die because of the Buddha. If there really was a Pure Land in the Western Heaven, he felt that the ancient Buddha Kassapa should indeed make arrangements for them.
"Just think of it as a white lie. Besides, Master Kasyapa, you have deceived me so many times. Is it not too much for me to deceive you once this time?"
Thinking like this, Xu Taiping suddenly felt much more relaxed.
But what Xu Taiping didn't expect was.
The effect of this decree was somewhat beyond his expectation.
After hearing that they could "rebirth in bliss", the monks, who were already a little depressed because they had been besieged the temple for several months, suddenly cheered up.
Some monks excitedly raised their sticks and knives and shouted impassioned words such as "We are willing to die for the Buddha."
The atmosphere of the entire Pilu Temple was completely renewed.
"As expected of Zen Buddhism, a single sentence of bliss in the afterlife can make people willing to die. If Zen Buddhism had not experienced a catastrophe thousands of years ago, leading to the fall of many ancient Buddhas and directly entering the age of the end of the Dharma, I am afraid that the appearance of the three realms would be completely different. ."
After feeling the change in the atmosphere in Pilu Temple, even Fairy Lingyue couldn't help but sigh.
"What catastrophe?"
Xu Taiping was a little curious.
"I don't know the specific reason. It seems that the Buddha Kingdom was fighting for a piece of land where the gods fell from the sky, and was counterattacked by the world. A sword cultivator in that ruined land used a sword that was struck by thousands of years of luck. , destroyed most of the Buddhist country."
Fairy Lingyue recalled.
"A sword?"
Xu Taiping looked stunned.
"Yeah, a sword."
Lingyue replied.
"Lord Heavenly Protector!"
At this moment, Abbot Huiming suddenly hurried to Xu Taiping's side again.
"Inside this armor pill is the suit of armor worn by the evil Shura Heavenly Protector of the year. When the first abbot obtained this armor in the wilderness, he warned us that only those who are destined to save evil Shura can open it. This armor."
Abbot Huiming held the armor pill in both hands and looked at Xu Taiping expectantly.
He has determined that Xu Taiping is the incarnation of Shura, so he must be able to open this armor pill.
"Let me try."
Xu Taiping nodded.
Unlike Abbot Huiming, who knew that he was not the incarnation of Shura, he was actually not that confident about whether he could open the armor pill.
After taking the Jiawan, Xu Taiping injected a trace of true energy into it.
To his surprise, the Komaru clicked and opened on the spot.
A jet-black battle armor instantly enveloped Xu Taiping's whole body, and even his face was covered with a dark iron mask, with only two eyes exposed.
"Amitabha, congratulations to the Heavenly Protector for regaining the treasured armor of the past!"
After seeing Xu Taiping actually open the Armor Pill and put on the battle armor that Shura Shura once wore in the past, the abbot Huiming once again clasped his hands together and celebrated excitedly.
"Sister Lingyue, ancient Buddha Kasyapa, couldn't have been settled a hundred years ago, right?"
Xu Taiping lowered his head and glanced at the armor on his body, and at the same time asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.
"It's not calculation, it's the cause and effect of Zen. I've said it before, if you pick up a stone in front of a Zen temple, it will be stained with cause and effect."
Fairy Lingyue smiled.
"But it's okay. At present, it seems that this ancient Buddha Kassapa has no ill intentions towards you, and you are not just asking for opportunities from them. There is no possibility of any evil retribution in the future."
She then added.
Xu Taiping nodded and put this matter in his heart.
"I just sensed it. Although this armor is seriously damaged, it is truly an artifact. If you can wear it, you may be able to fight against demons at the level of a demon lord."
"But there's also a problem."
At this time Fairy Lingyue's voice sounded again.
"what is the problem?"
"Artifacts consume a huge amount of divine energy. If you want to use this armor freely, you must at least break through to the God Refining Realm. Before that, I need to use my soul to control this armor for you."
Fairy Lingyue replied seriously.
"But Sister Lingyue, if you use your divine energy in Youyuntian, will it attract the attention of that leaf book?"
Xu Taiping was a little worried.
"It's possible, but now is not the time to worry about that. If Pilu Temple is destroyed, we will be dead."
Fairy Lingyue replied very calmly.
"Then I understand. Sister Lingyue, please control this armor. If we are really discovered, we will face it together."
Xu Taiping's answer was also very decisive.
"Don't worry, your sister and I are no longer the remnant soul we were when we first met. Being discovered doesn't mean that we will definitely be found."
Fairy Lingyue said confidently.
It seemed that she had already prepared for this.
And just after Fairy Lingyue said these words, Xu Taiping felt that the treasured armor on his body was like a wild beast that had been sleeping for a thousand years, waking up little by little.
A terrifying power began to spread from around him.
Eventually, this aura enveloped the entire Pilu Temple.
For a moment, all the monks in the temple were silent, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast that would be swallowed into its belly if they opened their mouths.
The abbot Huiming on the side was even more so.
If his feeling towards Xu Taiping just now was "respect" without any distracting thoughts, then what he feels towards Xu Taiping at this moment is "fear" without any distracting thoughts.
He even felt that the aura on Xu Taiping's body at this moment was more terrifying than that of the Heavenly Wolf Demon Lord just now.
Xu Taiping's feeling at this time was very strange.
After Fairy Lingyue helped him control the armor, he suddenly had the illusion that he could split mountains and split seas with just a few movements.
"This armor can allow you to experience the power of perception in the Transformation Realm in advance, but the power you can exert should only be at the peak of the God Refining Realm. How much combat power you can use depends on you."
Fairy Lingyue's voice sounded in Xu Taiping's mind again.
"Ok, I know."
Xu Taiping responded in his heart. After seeing the frightened look in the abbot Huiming's eyes, he said to Fairy Lingyue:
"Sister Lingyue, let this armor sleep first."
"Yeah, but you have to remember that even if I want to use the full power of this armor, I can only maintain it for one stick of incense."
Fairy Lingyue responded and reminded Xu Taiping at the same time.
Immediately, the terrifying aura spreading around Xu Taiping dissipated like a tide.
Huiming's tense nerves relaxed instantly.
