The Game with Fairies-Chapter 342

The bright morning sun shone down on the Mother Buddha Temple.

The Black Stone Mountain, made entirely of giant rocks, was silent and still.

The town at the foot of the mountain seemed normal, unaffected by the strange events on the mountain, and the ordinary people below remained unaware.

Li Muyang, with a furrowed brow, surveyed the Mother Buddha Temple, on guard for any potential enemies.

If someone could defeat the Mother Buddha, they would certainly be a tough opponent, and they might still be lurking nearby.

He had to remain vigilant.

At that moment, a pale white figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

This slender, curvaceous silhouette had no facial features or clothing, nor any gender characteristics.

It was like a pale cutout, without even a mouth, standing respectfully and gesturing for Li Muyang to enter.

Li Muyang, observing the white figure, frowned slightly.

He had seen such figures before, commanded by the Mother Buddha.

However, given the uncertain situation in the Mother Buddha Temple, he remained cautious.

It was only when a weak and weary voice came from deep within the temple that Li Muyang momentarily let down his guard.

“…Since Muyang has arrived, why not come in?”

The Mother Buddha’s voice was quite weak, clearly not in good condition, but at least it was calm.

If she had indeed faced an enemy, it seemed likely that she had repelled them.

Li Muyang then stepped into the Mother Buddha Temple, following the pale figure to the previously visited spacious hall.

Inside the temple, where a ten-zhang-tall statue of Chu Qingxue was enshrined, it was dark and gloomy, as if it were night.

Despite the bright sunshine outside, the vast hall was shrouded in darkness.

The Mother Buddha, draped in a dark robe, sat in front of the statue, hunched over, with an odd bronze oil lamp burning beside her.

The dim light of the lamp cast a weak glow on her, revealing her visible frailty.

Her stooped figure resembled that of an old woman.

Li Muyang stepped into the hall, scanning his surroundings with a frown.

The abnormality of the Mother Buddha Temple was blatantly obvious, even to the blind.

On the stone path in front of the temple, there were many dark red footprints.

These were not human footprints but three-toed tracks of some beast, suggesting that a ferocious creature had been running through the courtyard not long ago.

The air was tinged with a faint smell of sulfur and the heat of burned flames.

The black-robed Mother Buddha coughed lightly, seemingly noticing Li Muyang’s curiosity, and took the initiative to explain,

“It’s nothing too serious, just an old nemesis who came knocking.”

“We had a quarrel and a bit of a dispute, but it has already left.”

The Mother Buddha said, looking up at Li Muyang with a kind smile,

“Compared to that old thing, Muyang, have you caught the Heart-Eating Worm on your trip back?”

Li Muyang promptly took out a gourd and tossed it towards the Mother Buddha.

The Mother Buddha joyfully received the gourd, removed the stopper to count the number inside, and was very satisfied.

“247… let’s round it up to 250 for you, Muyang.”

After saying this, she coughed again, and two pale figures rose slowly from the shadows of the hall.

In their hands, they held a small medicinal gourd.

The Mother Buddha said, “Inside this are five Seven Marrow Pills. Take them for now, Muyang.”

The two figures respectfully presented the small medicinal gourd, and as Li Muyang took it, a system notification popped up.

【You have obtained Seven Marrow Pill x5】

Having successfully obtained the Seven Marrow Pills, Li Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been somewhat afraid that the old witch would go back on her word after seeing the Heart-Eating Worm, but it turned out that although she was a strange creature, she kept her promises.

Now that he had the Seven Marrow Pills he needed, Li Muyang did not intend to stay any longer.

“Then I’ll be going back now, continuing to hunt for Heart-Eating Worms in the underground mist for senior.”

As for the anomalies that had occurred in the Mother Buddha Temple, Li Muyang did not want to meddle in other people’s affairs and did not even wish to ask further questions.

However, as Li Muyang was about to leave, the Mother Buddha, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Chu Qingxue, stopped him.

She smiled and said, “Doesn’t Muyang want to ask who my old nemesis is? And why they came to cause trouble in my little temple?”

Li Muyang shook his head, “That is senior’s business, and I should not inquire.”

Li Muyang’s entire demeanor expressed resistance; he did not want to wade into murky waters.

Seeing his attitude, the Mother Buddha chuckled and shook her head.

“You may not want to get involved, but that old monster may not be willing to let you go.”

“It was driven away by me, but it certainly hasn’t gone far. It might be hiding in the nearby wilderness and have seen you fly into this place.”

“If you leave alone now, you might be intercepted by that old thing in the wilderness.”

“Qingxue has given her heart to you, and as her mother, I certainly don’t want my daughter to become a widow…”

The Mother Buddha laughed mischievously.

Then, she reached under her dark robe with her slender, onion-like fingers, fumbling for a while before producing a sachet.

She tossed the sachet to Li Muyang and said, “If you encounter that old monster when you leave, squeeze this sachet. It can temporarily scare off the old monster.”

Li Muyang took the sachet, slightly surprised.

The texture he felt was soft and squishy. Could it be that the sachet contained flesh from a Tai Sui?

Yet there was a subtle difference…

After pondering for a moment, Li Muyang asked, “May I ask senior, who is the person that came to the Mother Buddha Temple to cause trouble?”

Since he might be targeted, he can no longer entertain the idea of only looking out for himself.

The black-robed Mother Buddha inside the temple coughed softly several times before she began to speak. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

“That old thing, known as Bai Erye (White Second Master), is the leader of some spirits and monsters beyond the Great Wall.”

“The spirits and monsters beyond the Great Wall mainly consist of five types that are most likely to become powerful: foxes, willows, yellow, white, and gray.”

“You’ve consumed the Seven Marrow Pill, and your body has more or less been tainted with the aura of our Mother Buddha Temple. If you encounter any of these five types of demons in the future, stay away from them.”

Mother Buddha continued to speak while coughing.

Her coughing grew louder and more painful, to the point where one might worry she would cough out her lungs.

Li Muyang, holding a sachet in his hand, tentatively squeezed it.

The next second, a burst of golden light exploded from the sachet in Li Muyang’s hand.

Bathed in the golden light, Li Muyang felt a sense of comfort and smooth breathing, as if he were bathed in the sacred light of the righteous path.

He looked at the Mother Buddha in astonishment, only to find that at the moment the golden light appeared, two white shadows fearfully and slowly retreated into the shadows behind the Mother Buddha.

Inside the temple, only the Mother Buddha, with her gentle and compassionate smile, remained unaffected by the golden light.

“…Inside this is the seven-colored glazed heart of an immortal,” she said to Li Muyang with a smile.

“When a creature like White Second Master sees this sacred light of the immortal path, it will instinctively want to hide, just like insects in the crevices flee from the blazing sun.”

“Carry this heart of an immortal with you when you leave, and even if White Second Master blocks your path outside the mountain, you should be safe.”
