The great hall was silent for a long time.
Only then did Master Puguang receive the Buddha’s decree, nodding, "The Bodhisattva has agreed."
"Please, Master Jiang, make sure to keep your promise."
Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
The negotiation was finally over.
At least it could delay for a year, ensuring the White Horse Temple would not hold enmity towards the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
As for what happens after a year.
One could only take it one step at a time.
In the context of the arrival of the Ancient Giants, one could expect many major transformations; who knows what shape Taicang State would take by then, and maybe the White Horse Temple would no longer concern itself with this grudge.
"Alright, let me tell you the first clue."
"I found it on the continent."
Master Puguang’s smile slightly stiffened.
The high monks and Demon Suppression Guardian showed expressions of speechlessness.
Wasn’t this just nonsense?
Since you come from the continent, this person surely sat into motion on the continent.
Is this consider a clue?
However, considering this was merely the first exchange of clues, Master Puguang tolerated it.
"Thank you, Master Jiang."
Jiang Fan cupped his hands in salute, "I’ve troubled the temple today, farewell."
Just as he was about to leave, Master Puguang said, "Hold on."
Jiang Fan’s heart tightened.
What, are they going to change their mind?
Master Puguang took a palm-sized golden Buddha out of his sleeve.
Buddha light flowed over it, emitting a faint sacred radiance.
Upon seeing it, everyone, including the Dharma Seal Vajra, showed strands of surprise.
"Master Jiang, this is a golden Buddha I carry with me, imbued with a trace of my Buddha rhythm."
"When encountering danger unmatchable, you may take it out."
"Anyone who recognizes the item may give me some face; those who do not, the Buddha rhythm will help you ward off calamity."
Jiang Fan was slightly surprised.
Was there still such things to deliver?
He had seen the wooden carved golden Buddha of the Sky Demon Emperor, truly treacherous and difficult.
It could block enemy attacks, even turn decay into miracle healing.
Surely, the golden Buddha of the Master at present was stronger than a wooden Buddha statue of Dharma Seal Vajra?
Master Puguang handed over the golden Buddha, "Attacks less powerful than my strength can be blocked, or if you suffer a fatal wound, it can save your life."
"However, it can only be used three times, use cautiously, Master Jiang."
Can it preserve life?
Jiang Fan nodded slightly, "Thank you, Master."
Already understood in his heart why Master Puguang was giving such a precious defensive magical treasure.
He was afraid Jiang Fan would be slain and no one would remove the Connecting Sky Black Pillar!
The White Horse Temple had long been domineering, having offended numerous forces.
They dared not seek revenge against the White Horse Temple, but they could murder Jiang Fan so that the Connecting Sky Black Pillar remained forever in the White Horse Temple.
Jiang Fan said:
"I hope your enemies of the White Horse Temple aren’t too many!"
"Otherwise, even ten golden Buddhas won’t suffice."
The many high monks showed awkward expressions.
The White Horse Temple did indeed have many enemies.
Master Puguang chuckled, "As long as today’s matter isn’t leaked, who would trouble Master Jiang?"
True.
Their negotiation was known only to Jiang Fan and those of the White Horse Temple.
Outsiders only presumed Jiang Fan left the Connecting Sky Black Pillar forever at the White Horse Temple, rejoicing at misfortune.
