Zhizhen woke up and felt like he was in a dream. He looked around and it didn’t look like paradise at all.
There was no Buddha's light around, nor was there any Buddha. Zhizhen frowned, thinking back on his life. It seemed that he had never done anything that would anger the gods or the people. How could he not see the Buddha after his death?
"Are you awake?" Lai Siyu walked in from outside and said with a smile, "Let me see how you've recovered." She placed her hand on Zhizhen's pulse point and probed into his Zhen Yuan to check. After a moment, she said with satisfaction, "Well, you've recovered well. You're all well now."
Zhizhen stared at Lai Siyu incredulously, lost in thought, completely oblivious to her incessant chatter. After a few breaths, Zhizhen clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Grandmaster Lai, Zhizhen has done his best, but the divine might is too overwhelming. Zhizhen cannot protect Grandmaster Lai. I truly feel guilty towards Grandmaster Lai, and towards the Buddha!" This must be the case; Grandmaster Lai is also dead, which is why he never saw the Buddha.
This time it was Lai Siyu's turn to be stunned. It turned out that the monk thought she was dead.
Just think about it, if it weren't for the monk who kept trying his best to protect her, she might not be able to stand and speak.
Having risked his life to save her, his first reaction upon seeing her upon waking was to apologize. Lai Siyu's heart softened instantly, the anger she'd previously felt at Fang Qingyao's betrayal dissipating. "Silly monk, I'm not dead, and neither are you! This is my space. Now that you're awake, I'll take you out."
Before the monk could react, Lai Siyu took him out of the space.
Of course, even though the monk saved her, she still didn't want the monk to see the full picture of her space.
It's not that she doesn't trust the monk, but the scale of her space is too amazing, and it may not be a good thing if the monk knows about it.
Lai Siyu and the monk were suspended in mid-air, everything before them shattered beyond recognition and covered in wounds. "Thank you! If it weren't for you and your brothers, I would have died. But your brothers are probably in grave danger!"
This place has been destroyed to such an extent that the lake is almost dry. Zhikong and others are most likely dead.
Zhizhen quickly clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Master Lai, don't worry. When the divine might first descended, Senior Brother Zhikong and the others evacuated. They didn't encounter any danger."
Lai Siyu's face changed when she heard this. What this meant was that the six monks abandoned her and ran away when something happened!
In that case, she didn't owe them anything, but her feelings towards them dropped to freezing point.
No wonder the monk was injured like that. It turned out that he had been resisting the power of heaven with his own strength.
When Lai Siyu brought him into the space, he lost all his vitality, his meridians were broken, and even his dantian was destroyed beyond recognition.
If there wasn't a wisp of breath left in him, even if all Fang Qingyao's blood was poured out and given to him to drink, it probably wouldn't have saved him.
"Then why didn't you run away? You almost died too!"
"Amitabha, I promised in front of the old ancestor's Dharma image that I would help Grandmaster Lai protect the Dharma. Zhizhen cannot leave even a step, even if he dies!"
Zhizhen had a sincere look on his face, his slightly childish face was frank and open, his clasped hands were empty. Lai Siyu suddenly remembered that each of these monks had a string of Buddhist beads in their hands.
I guess these Buddhist beads were destroyed in order to save her.
Lai Siyu remembered that she had a Zen staff in her warehouse. She had forgotten where she got it from, but she figured it was a spiritual weapon, so it must have a spirit. So she took it out and threw it to Zhizhen: "This Zen staff is for you. You can use it for now. If I come across a good Buddhist item in the future, I'll give it to you."
Zhizhen didn't bother to be polite with her. He took the Zen staff, injected his true energy into it and tried it out. When he felt it was handy, he put it away.
The monk had never begged for alms before, and this was something he just needed. Zhizhen clasped his hands together and bowed to Lai Siyu, saying, "Amitabha, thank you, Master Lai, for your gift!"
Seeing Zhizhen put away his staff, Lai Siyu said, "You're welcome! Zhizhen, I'm going to explore a secret realm. Would you like to come with me?"
Zhizhen said, "Amitabha, I came to the Void God Realm for the purpose of training. I didn't want to stay in the camp, so I came out with a few brothers to see the world. Since Grandmaster Lai is willing to take me there, I couldn't be happier!"
Lai Siyu nodded and said, "Well, how about this, since your injury has just healed, I have a portable space that is suitable for cultivation. You can go in and rest for a while, and then we can go again after you have adjusted your condition, okay?"
After Lai Siyu finished speaking, he took out the bone tower. Zhizhen agreed to Lai Siyu's request without thinking, and did not doubt at all whether Lai Siyu would harm him.
"You agreed so readily, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?" Lai Siyu couldn't help asking.
"Amitabha, since Master Lai wanted to harm Zhizhen, why did he go to so much trouble to save Zhizhen?" Zhizhen had secretly checked his body a long time ago and knew that this time he had turned a disaster into a blessing and his body had been reborn.
The medicinal power that had not yet dissipated in his body was extremely pure. He didn't need to guess to know how many top-grade pills Lai Siyu had given him to save him.
"Take this storage ring. It contains some cultivation resources. One day in my space is equivalent to ten years in the outside world. You can practice well in it.
"When you're ready, send me a message and we'll explore the secret place together." Lai Siyu then handed Zhizhen a storage ring filled with spiritual fruits, elixirs, and wish stones. Zhizhen thanked her and accepted it, then was taken to the training ground by Lai Siyu.
After settling the smart frame, Lai Siyu looked around and confirmed that there was no trace of human beings within a thousand miles of the lake before returning to the space.
As soon as her figure appeared in the space, a red shadow pounced towards her.
"Girl! I miss you so much! Wuwu... I thought I was dead and would never see you again... Wuwu...
Girl, I’m hungry…”
Lai Siyu lifted the red squirrel from her arms and said, "You just woke up, so you can only drink porridge! Don't even think about anything else!"
"Ahhh~ I want to eat braised pork ribs! I want to eat fish, meat and chicken wings! I don't want to drink porridge!" The red squirrel kicked its four legs in the air.
Lai Siyu threw it on the ground, rolled her eyes at it and said, "Do you want to eat this?"
The red squirrel's eyes widened when he saw what Lai Siyu handed over. "Fire crystal! Five Elements Fire Crystal, and it's of high purity! Girl, I want to eat it! I want to eat it!"
Lai Siyu threw it a storage bag and said, "That's all I have. Save it! I'll take you to find a fire spirit vein later. Only then can you recover faster."
The red squirrel rolled on the ground, clutching the storage bag, its face intoxicated. It murmured, "My fire crystal is still of high purity..."
(Well, it’s almost the end of the month, where are your monthly passes?)
