Chapter 67: Let Me Add a Bit of Miracle for You

Jinshan Temple.

"Young master."

"Your wooden dummy and wooden dragon are finished."

The elder handed the carved wooden dummy and wooden dragon to Yu Lin; the dummy looked lifelike, the dragon's scaled claws fluttered, as if it could come alive at any moment.

Yu Lin took them and solemnly thanked, "Thank you, elder."

At this moment.

The setting sun sank in the west, its afterglow spilling over the eaves of Jinshan Temple, casting a golden‑red hue.

Yu Lin smiled, "Elder, are you free? I'd like to treat you to a meal."

The old man shook his head, picked up a broom nearby, and slowly swept the wood shavings on the floor:

"I'll pass on the meal."

His movements were slow; the broom brushed the bluestone, producing a rustling sound:

"Young master, if you truly wish to repay me, then later do more good deeds on my behalf."

"Thank you, young master."

Yu Lin listened, always feeling there was more behind his words; after the old man finished sweeping the shavings, he turned toward the interior and left without further questioning, and Yu Lin merely nodded and replied:

"Certainly."

He turned to leave, when suddenly—

Boom!

A vast aura surged from the summit, as if heaven and earth resonated, causing the whole Jinshan Temple to tremble slightly.

Yu Lin jerked his head upward, his gaze fixed on the summit.

There, Ji Gong and Fa Hai stood facing each other!

Fa Hai's eyes flashed like lightning, coldly sweeping Yu Lin, as if scrutinizing him to see through his very being.

Ji Gong waved his Palm Fan, muttering incantations, then suddenly raised a finger—

"Whoa!"

The heavens shifted abruptly, and an illusion materialized!

A deluge engulfed Jinshan, the populace wailed and fled, floating corpses drifted with the currents......

Immediately, Xu Shilin's voice rang through the clouds:

"Xu Shilin wishes to take the Zhuangyuan Position, wishes to take the Wenqu Xingjun Position, and inherit my mother's karmic burden!"

"All I ask is mercy, to release her from the tower......"

Wenqu Xingjun's starlight descended, the phantom silhouettes of past Zhuangyuan bowed in unison, yet the karmic force within the illusion, like a bottomless sea, began to swallow the starlight bit by bit, dispersing the Zhuangyuan phantoms!

Seeing the effort about to fail—

"Xu Xian wishes to devote his whole life's merit, and inherit Bai Niangzi's karmic burden!"

A familiar voice sounded from behind.

Yu Lin whirled around abruptly, and saw the old man who had just carved the wooden dummy suddenly blaze with dazzling Golden Light, like a rushing river, all of it pouring into the wooden dummy in Yu Lin's hand!

Swoosh—

The wooden dummy shot upward like a meteor slashing the sky, straight into the illusion!

Within the illusion it transformed into countless rescuers, pulling the distressed to safety!

Just as they thought success was imminent, the illusion suddenly twisted!

The karmic fire behind Bai Niangzi erupted with a roar, crimson flames sweeping the entire illusion.

The rescuers formed from the wooden dummies wailed in the fire and turned to ash!

Puff—

Xu Xian suddenly spat a mouthful of fresh blood, staggered and collapsed to the ground. He stared at the illusion devoured by flames, bitterness in his eyes: "All those years of healing and saving lives... still not enough?"

He trembled, reaching out as if to touch the unreachable figure: "Bai Niangzi... I have wronged you..."

At that moment of despair—

The scene before Yu Lin suddenly shifted!

He saw a blue‑green snake coiling among the clouds, pleading desperately to a vague presence.

The snake's scales peeled off, turning into specks of blue light, which finally coalesced into a jade pendant of emerald hue!

The jade pendant radiated intensely, drawing all the souls that perished in the flood of Jinshan.

Souls swirled within the jade, the pendant's form constantly shifting, finally solidifying into......

When the illusion faded, Yu Lin snapped back to reality, realizing he had somehow been clutching the jade pendant in his hand.

"Is that so? Karma......"

Yu Lin turned back, looked at the blood‑spitting Xu Xian, and smiled, "Elder, as payment for the carving, then."

"Let me add a bit of Miracle for you."

His words hung in the air.

Yu Lin lightly tapped the jade pendant with his fingertip, and behind him, unnoticed, a vague, faceless silhouette materialized.

Hum—

A flash of dazzling Golden Light burst from his fingertip, merging into the jade pendant.

In an instant, the jade pendant quivered violently, transforming into a streak of emerald light soaring toward the heavens!

Boom!

The moment the jade pendant entered the illusion, the whole world fell silent—

The karmic fire extinguished like a candle, the flood rolled back and vanished.

The vision in the illusion seemed to run backward in time: the drowned one revived, the collapsed house rose again, even the destroyed flora returned to its original state......

"This......"

Fa Hai's pupils suddenly contracted, and the Prayer Beads snapped, the sandalwood beads scattering on the ground.

Because in his memory, Bai Niangzi had never flooded Jinshan; without the flood of Jinshan, there were naturally no innocent people who died!

He stared fixedly at the phantom behind Yu Lin:

"Rewrite the past but not disturb the present?!"

"Who exactly is he?! Buddha? Or the Three Pure Ones?!"

Ji Gong shook his Palm Fan, smiled without speaking.

Until the illusion completely faded, he finally spoke leisurely:

"I, a monk, have no idea~"

"Now people die and are revived, living a smooth life, the karma has been erased......"

He suddenly ceased his laughter, solemnly pressed his palms together:

"May I let her out?"

Fa Hai remained silent, for a long time, for a long time, then sighed:

"Fine, it truly is Destiny!"

He tossed the golden bowl, and at the top of Leifeng Tower Golden Light surged brilliantly; with a sweep of his sleeve, the pagoda that had suppressed Bai Niangzi for years slowly rose!

Bai Niangzi, in white robes, floated gracefully from the base of the tower and landed before Xu Shilin.

In the next instant, Fa Hai waved his sleeve again, sending Xu Xian to Bai Niangzi's side as well.

Fa Hai's voice rang in his ears:

"From now on, never violate the heavenly principle, never break the moral order!"

"Do many good deeds!"

Xu Xian said nothing, merely stepped before Bai Niangzi; the three embraced and wept.

Fa Hai watched the scene quietly, then finally turned and walked toward the meditation room, leaving only a sentence:

"From now on, both grudges are gone, cause and effect are severed."

His silhouette seemed slightly lonely, yet also conveyed a sense of release:

"Daoji, this time...... I have lost to you again."

"But the heavenly principle is still irreversible!"

"If it won't reverse, then it won't.........." Hearing this, Ji Gong's smile grew wider, and he shouted toward his back:

"Fa Hai! Next time come to Lingyin Temple to find me, the monk, for meat and wine!"

Fa Hai did not look back, merely waved his hand, and his figure gradually vanished into the dusk.

Only then did Ji Gong turn and descend the mountain, coming before Yu Lin, and bowed solemnly:

"Thank you, benefactor, for acting!"

Yu Lin hurriedly helped him up: "It was just a casual act."

He looked at Ji Gong and smiled: "Dharma Master, this matter is settled, where shall we go next?"

Ji Gong shook his head, the broken Palm Fan gently swaying:

"Benefactor, I, the monk, can no longer travel with you! I must attend to my own monk duties!"

"Farewell!"

He turned and walked away, Yu Lin thought of his mission and was about to follow.

But a tattered old Palm Fan suddenly appeared in his hand.

Ji Gong's voice drifted on the wind:

"Seeing as not seeing, not seeing as seeing; illuminate the mind to see one's nature, seeing nature becomes Buddha."

Yu Lin stood stunned, only seeing Ji Gong turn back and wave, his face still smiling:

"Benefactor, take care!"

Saying that, he turned and continued down the mountain; his tattered robe fluttered in the evening breeze, that familiar tune gradually drifting away:

"Shoes are torn~ hat is torn~ the robe on my body is torn~"

"You laugh at me~ he laughs at me..........."

Yu Lin watched him walk away.

A prompt floated in his mind: 【Task Completed】

【Countdown ten seconds to end task】

He murmured:

"Dharma Master, farewell."

The Ji Gong myth ends, there is an old-version Ji Gong bead jade in front; if my writing is poor, please don't scold me......

Finally, good night.
