Chapter 484: The Buddha Temple is Closed to Pay the Debt
The top of Jiuhua Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the ancient Buddhist temple stands quietly on the top of the mountain like a hermit.
Ye Faner stepped firmly onto the stone steps leading to the Buddhist temple, and every step seemed to be stepping on the pulse of fate.
Zuo Qing'er, who was following behind her, had a worried look on her face. She wanted to say something several times but stopped herself. Finally, she sighed helplessly and could only watch Ye Fan'er walk towards the closed Buddhist door.
"Fan'er, have you really thought it through? After closing the mountain, there will be no turning back." Zuo Qing'er's voice sounded particularly weak in the mountain wind.
Ye Fan'er didn't look back, but replied lightly: "Some roads, once you set foot on them, there is no turning back."
As soon as the voice fell, Ye Faner pushed open the heavy Buddhist door and walked into the Buddhist temple.
With a loud "creak", the door of the Buddhist temple slowly closed, isolating the two people in two different worlds.
Zuo Qing'er stood blankly on the stone steps in front of the temple, looking at the closed Buddhist door, with mixed feelings in her heart. Finally, she sat down powerlessly on the stone steps, looking into the distance with empty eyes, as if she had already seen her impending fate.
Inside the Buddhist temple, the light was dim and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Ye Faner's gaze fell on the black coffin in the center of the hall. Above the black coffin were placed an ancient long sword, an extinguished oil lamp, and a neatly folded white robe.
Seeing these items, Ye Faner slowly walked to the black coffin, reached out her hand and gently stroked the cold coffin, as if she was stroking the face of an old friend.
"Ping'er, I'm here to accompany you." Ye Fan'er's voice was low and hoarse, as if it was a sigh from the bottom of her heart.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the temple, blowing out the only oil lamp in the temple, and the entire Buddhist temple was instantly plunged into darkness.
Ye Fan'er did not feel scared. Instead, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a strange smile.
"Is it coming?" she whispered, with a hint of anticipation in her voice.
In the darkness, six figures gradually appeared, some male, some female, some old, some young, all dressed in simple robes, emitting a faint fluorescent light.
The leader had white hair and beard, holding a whisk, and looked like an immortal. He was Wang Qing'er, the former commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch.
Following her were Huo Bingqu, Gong Wanyang, Tang Shengyu, Nie Lingsi and Li Lingsi, all of whom were famous heroes in the history of the Night's Watch.
Facing these six legendary figures, Ye Faner showed no fear at all. Instead, she bowed respectfully and said, "Junior Ye Faner, greetings to all the seniors."
Wang Qing'er nodded kindly, her eyes falling on the Life-Changing Pearl in Ye Fan'er's hand, and she asked gently, "Child, do you need this Life-Changing Pearl to wake us up?"
Ye Faner took a deep breath and answered with a firm look in her eyes, "That's right! I want to use this pearl to save someone."
"Oh? Who to save?" Huo Bingqu asked with interest, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
Ye Faner didn't hesitate at all, and said firmly: "Zhou Ping'er!"
When these words were spoken, the six heroes were all stunned, and even the usually calm Wang Qing'er showed a surprised expression.
After a moment, Gong Wanyang broke the silence and asked in a serious tone, "You should know that this Life-Transforming Pearl comes at a great price. Are you sure you want to use it to save a..."
Before Gong Wanyang could finish, Ye Faner interrupted her firmly: "I'm sure! Moreover, I want to exchange my life for hers!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Buddhist temple suddenly fell silent. The eyes of the six heroes all fell on Ye Faner, and an indescribable sense of oppression filled the air.
"You..." Tang Shengyu was about to speak, but Wang Qing'er raised her hand to stop him.
