Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

The next morning, Zaxi and his wife had already prepared breakfast and were waiting for Ye Yu to come downstairs.

After quickly finishing breakfast, Ye Yu drove Zaxi towards the temple.

On the way up the mountain, Zaxi introduced Ye Yu to the high-altitude lakes and majestic snow-capped mountains they passed along the way.

After driving for two hours, they finally arrived at the temple entrance.

This temple is built on a sheer cliff at an altitude of about 5,500 meters. There is no one around, and it is shrouded in a thin mist, making it look like a fairyland.

And just ten kilometers away lies the territory of the Kingdom of Budan.

Zaxi led Yeyu into the temple. The temple was very quiet. After passing through a corridor, they saw a monk sweeping the floor.

Tashi stepped forward and communicated with the monk in Tibetan, which Ye Yu couldn't understand. The monk glanced at Ye Yu and pointed to a room behind him.

Tashi turned to Ye Yu and said, "The lama you're looking for is doing his homework in that room. Please come with me."

He led Ye Yu to the front of the house, knocked gently on the door a few times, and an old voice came from inside.

Upon hearing this, Zaxi pushed open the door and led Ye Yu inside.

The houses here are all very characteristic of Tibetan culture and are very beautiful.

Upon entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is the Buddhist shrine placed in the center. On either side of a large Shakyamuni Buddha statue, two smaller statues are placed in Uga boxes.

Smaller icons were placed around the perimeter, and scriptures were placed in the remaining compartments.

In front of the Buddha shrine, there are layers of offering tables, with lamps, clean water and other offerings neatly placed on them. The room looks particularly solemn, inspiring faith in those who see it.

However, the only thing that made Ye Yu feel a little out of place in the room was the several portraits hanging on the wall.

These portraits are brightly colored and vividly depicted, with the figures in them looking fierce and scantily clad.

The old lama sat cross-legged in front of the shrine, holding a prayer wheel in one hand and turning prayer beads in the other. He did not stop what he was doing even when someone came in.

Tashi bowed respectfully to the old lama and explained the purpose of his visit. The old lama looked at Ye Yu several times before speaking a few obscure and difficult words.

Tashi said, "I have already told him why you came. He said that your aura is very pure and that you have a connection with Buddhism. He is willing to discuss the scriptures with you."

Ye Yu thought to herself, "This old lama is quite skilled; he can tell that her aura is different from that of ordinary people."

However, she neither understood the scriptures nor had any interest in them, and she did not want to waste any more time here.

So Ye Yu took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table in front of the old lama, saying to Zhaxi, "Please ask him to help me understand what these words mean?"

The contents on this paper were copied by Ye Yu from the yellow cloth strip.

Tashi immediately told the old lama the request in the Ye language. After the old lama understood, he picked up the paper and began to read it.

After a few seconds, he began to speak. Zaxi said, "The writing on it is not complete. The only words that can be clearly seen are 'Ximalaya', 'Zhumulangma', 'Holy Gate', and 'East'."

Zaxi looked at Ye Yu and said, "He asked you why you asked about these words? Where did these words come from?"

Ye Yu smiled and said, "I found a Buddha statue at an antique market. When I cleaned it up, I found these few lines of writing on its back. I've always been interested in these kinds of things, so I came here to try my luck and see if I could figure out what it said."

After speaking to the old lama, Zaxi looked at Ye Yu and said, "He just wants you to listen. Don't be too curious, or it could be dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow. Could it be that this old lama had guessed where she was going?

Ye Yu smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Seeing that Ye Yu didn't speak, the old lama said something to Zhaxi after a few seconds. Zhaxi then said to Ye Yu, "He said he wants to give you something else separately and asked me to wait for you in the courtyard outside."

Ye Yu nodded to him, and Zaxi bowed to the old lama before turning and leaving.

At this moment, only the old lama and Ye Yu remained in the room. He stopped spinning the prayer wheel, stood up, and led Ye Yu to a painting, pointing at it and gesturing for Ye Yu to look at it.

Ye Yu looked at the painting. The figure in the painting wore a terrible mask and had things such as heads and human hearts hanging on his body. Each of his feet was stepping on a naked, distorted corpse.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of a wooden fish being struck.

Ye Yu felt dizzy as the portrait in front of her suddenly became dizzy. The figure in the painting seemed to come alive and reached out to grab her.

After entering the room, Ye Yu had been on guard. Upon seeing this situation, she activated her spiritual senses and her mind became clear.

She let out a soft hum and channeled her divine sense into the painting. The figures in the painting immediately roared and then vanished completely.

The painting hanging on the wall has also become a blank sheet of paper.

Seeing this, the old lama paused for a moment while striking the wooden fish, then, trembling, began to strike it even faster.

Suddenly, the paintings hanging on the wall came to life, some depicting characters with glaring eyes, others wielding halberds, all rushing towards Ye Yu.

Ye Yu stood motionless, his hands forming a hand seal. Several bolts of lightning as thick as his wrist struck them, and the scroll on the wall burst into flames. The illusions vanished without a trace.

Sweat dripped from the old lama's forehead onto the ground, and his whole body trembled. Ye Yu pointed at him with his right hand, and a bolt of lightning struck him directly, turning him into a pile of charred remains.

Ye Yu looked at the wooden fish that had fallen to the ground and realized that the wooden fish stick was actually made of human bones, and the wooden fish itself was made of human skull.

Ye Yu thought to herself, "This old lama is so wicked. He practices evil arts. He stays in such a solemn and dignified room every day. Doesn't he feel guilty?"

She guessed that the old lama had seen the contents of the paper and had evil intentions. After warning her, he saw that she had no reaction, so he changed his mind and killed her.

Ye Yu had only been out of the old lama's room for a few minutes when Zaxi, who was squatting at the courtyard gate, saw her come out and ran up to her with a smile, asking, "You're out? Did the old lama bless you? It's rare for him to stay in the room to bless you."

"Has he ever left someone alone in a room before?" Ye Yu asked.

“Yes, a female tourist came here before. She said she had difficulty conceiving and heard that this place was very effective, so she came to see the old lama. I haven’t seen her come back since then, so I guess she really is pregnant,” Tashi recalled.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yu felt disgusted. She guessed that the female tourist had probably been murdered, since not everyone could resist the illusions in the painting.

She let Zaxi get into the car, and the two headed towards the hotel.
