Running A Cemetery in North America

Chapter 181: Clues to the Celestial Toad Relic_2


As a creature extremely afraid of cold, the appearance of the toad in cold areas is extremely rare.

The fact that Celestial Toads appear in Tibet indicates that these toads are far from ordinary, perhaps akin to spirit beasts.

Currently, Sun Yan's four life-saving treasures only have the Celestial Toad relic left. This time, arriving in this spirit realm in Tibet during Bloody Sunday is his chance to find the Celestial Toad relic.

Once back in the real world, the difficulty of finding the Celestial Toad relic will greatly increase, and the evil poison on Sun Yan cannot be delayed.

Finding the Celestial Toad relic in Tibet this time would be perfect.

"I have an evil poison within me, and only the Celestial Toad relic can save me," Sun Yan sighed heavily and said helplessly.

"If that's the case, I'll write a letter for you. Should you meet Master Bazaar of Lotus Temple, you may ask him; he is a well-known wise man in this area of Tibet and might be able to help you."

"Thank you."

...

Daybreak, sunrise.

The blizzard paused momentarily, revealing a vast expanse of dazzling white snow.

Staring at the snow for too long can easily cause snow blindness, so Sun Yan dared not look too much, pulling down the hood Master Sangji gifted him a few inches, and his eyes felt much better.

"Dorjee, stay well at Vajra Temple with Master Sangji for cultivation; I'm leaving, may we meet again."

"Jackson, be careful on your journey."

Parting with Dorjee, who was seeing him off at the door, Sun Yan embarked on the journey to Lotus Temple alone.

As he moved further from Vajra Temple, until he could no longer see its outlines in the snow, Sun Yan finally stopped and deployed his newly acquired ability.

Eight Hundred Miles Divine Walk!

Immediately, Sun Yan felt an immense energy surge in his legs.

It was as if two currents embraced his feet, allowing him to leap lightly, his whole body soaring over ten feet high, truly as agile as a swallow.

"Interesting!"

Sun Yan rejoiced and leapt forward with one stride, his body vanishing instantly.

No footprints were left where he passed, almost flying at low altitude, speeding toward the East.

Following Master Sangji's guidance, an hour later, Sun Yan saw the outline of another temple on the earth.

This temple is much larger than Vajra Temple, surrounded by several-meter-high red walls adorned with numerous Dharma Aspects of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas.

Mani Heaps and pagodas surrounded the temple, appearing grand and sacred.

As Sun Yan approached, he suddenly felt his heart move, awoken by the response of his 'Fine Dog Divine Eagle' divine power.

Fine Dog Divine Eagle, the assistance divine power provided to Sun Yan by the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao.

It enables contracting a bird and a dog as contracted beasts, allowing Sun Yan to share vision with Fine Dog Divine Eagle within a certain range, providing an excellent auxiliary divine power.

Upon entering this spirit realm hidden land, Sun Yan's divine power showed no response, yet now he could feel the presence of Dahuang.

This suggested that Sosia and the others might be nearby, which was undoubtedly good news for Sun Yan.

His ultimate goal in coming to this place was to find Sosia and Elise, with the Celestial Toad relic being a secondary objective.

As he neared the Great Buddha Temple, Sun Yan's eyes suddenly became gray and misty, quite peculiar.

In front of him appeared the scene Dahuang could see, demonstrating shared vision.

...

"Cough cough!"

Roken lay on the bed, covered in bandages, looking extremely pale.

Beside the bed, Sister Jessica carefully wiped the cold sweat off his face, the situation looking less than ideal.

Next to them, Jessica and Elise sat on chairs, chatting about something, but upon seeing Sosia, Sun Yan was shocked.

At this moment, Sosia was left with only one arm, the other was severed right at the shoulder.

This was almost equivalent to being crippled for a werewolf skilled in close combat.

Sosia was a zombie werewolf, her body inheriting the werewolf's strength and the zombie's invulnerability.

What danger could have hurt Sosia so?

Stopping the shared vision with Dahuang, Sun Yan quickened his pace and soon arrived outside the Buddhist Temple door.

Above the door, a prominent stone plaque read—Lotus Temple.

Outside the gate, two monks sweeping snow looked at the sudden appearance of Sun Yan with astonishment.

From their perspective, the man seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

"Excuse me, is Master Bazaar here?" Sun Yan bowed and asked.

"Who are you?"

"I come from Vajra Temple; Master Sangji said Lotus Temple might help me, so I've come."

Sun Yan took out the letter Sangji gave him and handed it over; the monks, recognizing the writing, exchanged a look and directed Sun Yan: "Please enter."

As expected, Lotus Temple was the Great Buddha Temple Sangji mentioned; upon entering, Sun Yan saw a large lotus pond, the lotuses blooming out of season, fragrant and serene.

Led by the monks, Sun Yan was taken to a side hall, where a gaunt monk awaited.

Upon Sun Yan's entrance, he immediately asked: "Let me see the letter."

Sun Yan handed him the letter, this person reading it with interest said: "Sangji mentioned you have a magical artifact sullied by karmic obstacles."

"Yes, Master Bazaar."

"Lotus Spirit Water is a precious item; back then, Master Padmasambhava used it to suppress many demons in Tibet. You need to exchange it with great merit."

"Great merit?" Sun Yan questioned.

He wasn't a saint, so where would great merit come from; it seemed unreasonable.

"Killing the Suffering Bodhisattva and saving future Tibetan people from disaster is a supreme merit, but Sangji has already exchanged Snow Tiger Spirit Tooth with you, making it impossible for you to exchange with Lotus Spirit Water further,

the temple currently faces a difficult situation; seeing you are a cultivator with notable cultivation, could you assist the temple? If you resolve the matter, I'll help you purify karmic obstacles."

Sun Yan sighed helplessly: "Please go ahead, Master Bazaar."

With a request, he couldn't refuse.

The Golden Halberd involves the Mountain-Opening Fierce General's Dharma Aspect and mustn't be affected by karmic obstacles.

"A few months ago, an earthquake occurred at the Great Black Heaven Temple in the depths of Tibet, where Iron Yama was suppressed underground. Overnight, all the monks died tragically, and even all livestock within a hundred meters around Great Black Heaven Temple perished mysteriously,

the Tibetan high monks suspect that Iron Yama escaped due to the temple's collapse, and if the Evil God cannot be resealed, Tibet will witness bloody disasters,

Yet, even before we act, monks from Lotus Temple are harassed by evil citizens while out, resulting in many deaths. I need you to help us tackle the evil citizens roaming around Lotus Temple."

Master Bazaar said solemnly.

"Iron Yama? What is that." Sun Yan curiously asked.

He knew about 'Great Black Heaven'; Tibet regards Great Black Heaven as Vairocana Buddha, or Great Sun Buddha's wrathful form during demon suppression.

Possessing forms with six, four, and two arms, the six-armed Mahakala serves as a Dharma Protector for the Shangpa Kagyu Sect and the Gelug Sect.

In Esoteric Buddhism, Great Black Heaven is a principal Dharma Protector; a god of healing and a god of battle.

The demon requiring Great Black Heaven's suppression wouldn't be weak, and more importantly, Sun Yan had never heard of 'Iron Yama.'

Master Bazaar patiently explained: "It's an ancient demon king named Iron Yama, often appearing before people riding a female corpse,

the female corpse's bone joints reverse, like a present world evil ghost; this female corpse is Iron Yama's alternate form and sometimes, the positions reverse with Iron Yama riding a male corpse. Encountering this demon king in Tibet signals impending doom; none can escape Iron Yama's curse,

and those killed by Him turn into evil citizens, spreading across Tibet. I need your assistance to deal with the evil citizens near Lotus Temple."
