Deep in the Qilian Mountains, a mysterious sect called Lingjiu Palace, is now decorated with lights and colors, which makes it very lively.

The Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions of Lingjiu Palace have become maids, busying their palace master with his sixty-year-old birthday. The thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands under Lingjiu Palace have arrived. The lords of each cave and the island master are all congratulating Xu Zhu in the hall.

"Xuanhuangzi, a Xuanhuangzi, a hidden Qiulong Cave, congratulate the palace master on his 60th birthday, presenting ten pieces of top-quality ice jade, ten thrones of good medicine, and one golden Buddha sculpture!"

"Don't go to the Five Elements Cave in Taihang. The birthday gift is five pieces of beautiful jade in the top Hotan and a thousand taels of gold!"

"The Li family in the South China Sea Coconut Flower Island has a good South China Sea pearls of 100 kilograms, and Buddha's hand red coral..."

In the hall, a maid from Lingjiu Palace who was a chanting song, shouted out many birthday gifts presented by the leaders of the 72 islands.

The thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands under Lingjiu Palace obviously attach great importance to the birthday gifts of the Lingjiu Palace Palace Master. The things they send are carefully selected and liked. Even if they celebrate the birthday of ordinary high-ranking officials and nobles, they are definitely able to give them. Among them, gold and silver are the most common and common things, and all kinds of precious things from all over the world are given as if they don’t have money. They even specifically target the current palace master Xu Zhu, who is a monk, is born as a monk, and things like Buddha statues are common.

The disciples of Lingjiu Palace didn't care much. They had seen thirty-six caves and 72 islands when they were in Tianshan Tonglao. Ten years ago, Xu Zhu offered a large number of gifts when he was fifty. Now, he didn't feel anything when he saw these many birthday gifts!

"Everyone, is it too luxurious? I said, don't be so polite..."

Seeing the thirty-six caves and the seventy-two islands constantly presenting birthday gifts, Xu Zhu, who was sitting in the middle of the hall, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly.

In fact, Xu Zhu also knew that he said he didn't have to be so polite. The people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands dared not be careless, and even the people from Lingjiu Palace did not object at all. It was completely natural to take it for granted a generous birthday gift for the people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands!

"You are welcome to be polite!"

"We have received great kindness from the palace master. How can we be careless when we have a 60th birthday..."

When they heard Xu Zhu's words, the heads of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands were full of attentiveness and apologies, and they even held Xu Zhu to heaven in their words.

However, Xu Zhu and other Lingjiu Palaces did not notice it. The people from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands were standing inside and outside the hall, and they did not put down their portable weapons. For martial arts people, portable weapons are definitely the second life, and there are a few martial arts masters who specialize in practicing palm techniques and leg techniques!

"Peng!!!"

Suddenly, several crimson signal fireworks rose outside Lingjiu Peak. The fireworks that could be clearly seen even in the valley made the thirty-six holes inside and outside the hall suddenly turn their backs, and all kinds of weapons were aimed directly at the people in Lingjiu Palace who were nearest Lingjiu Palace.

"ah!!"

"Bold!"

"Prince Lord! They rebel..."

Seeing the sudden change, the people from the Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions of Lingjiu Palace were not prepared at all. Many people were directly killed by the people from the Thirty-six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands around them on the spot. Xu Zhu also discovered that the thirty-six Caves not far from him. The leader of the Seventy-Two Islands was directly surrounded and killed.

Xu Zhu didn't have time to ask what was going on. Looking at the situation inside and outside the hall, he roared and waved his palm with Tianshan Zhemei's hand, fighting with the leaders and elites of the thirty-six holes and seventy-two islands. Around Lingjiu Peak, thousands of elites and backbone elements of the 72 islands, holding crossbows, shields, swords and other weapons, and fought against the nine heavens and nine divisions of the Lingjiu Palace, who were caught off guard...

...

After an extremely fierce battle, the hall had become corpses everywhere.

Xu Zhu and others discovered that neither side could take down the other side at once. Xu Zhu only had a few personal maids with the strongest martial arts skills left beside him. Most of the elites and leaders of the 36 caves and 72 islands were killed in battle. The remaining few leaders and backbones tried to summon subsequent reinforcements to discover that Xu Zhu had already put down the mechanism of the Dragon Broken Stone after the small number of reinforcements that had consumed the Nine Heavens and Nine Divisions arrived.

Soon, after the Broken Dragon Stone was put down, the entire valley where the main palace was located was directly isolated, and the stored food could not be supplied to everyone for consumption. I had never considered the thirty-six holes of the protracted war. After the elites of the Seventy-Two Islands fell into the food cut crisis, there were already murderers who ate human flesh among the hungry people!

After Xu Zhu tried his best to kill the crazy man-eating demons, the remaining thirty-six holes and the leaders of the Seventy-two Islands were completely desperate.

"Prince, let us keep our last dignity and commit suicide!"

A leader with the strongest martial arts skills looked at Xu Zhu and the two remaining maids behind him, threw away the sword in his hand with a tragic look on his face, and said very simply.

"……Can!"

Seeing that after almost two months, the leader who was no longer human but still did not choose to eat human flesh, there were still ten remaining thirty-six holes that did not choose to eat human flesh, and the seventy-two islands, Xu Zhu was silent for a few breaths before speaking: "I just want to ask you before you die."

"Why?" The leader who was already determined to die was stunned, then laughed at the sky a few times, and shouted to Xu Zhu with a sigh: "We are unwilling to accept it! The Palace Master untied the life and death talisman on our body, and felt that the Palace Master was very kind. We dare not forget it, but why are we afraid that the life and death talisman will be planted again and it is better to die than to live?

We know that the palace master is kind-hearted and may not do this, but the next palace master? The next palace master? Are we worried that if we and our descendants will be planted with the life and death talisman to try that kind of feeling worse than death?”

"What's more, we have been discussing the many secret martial arts treasures in Lingjiu Palace since more than ten years ago. If we can obtain one of the inheritances of the two sects, why should we risk being robbed by the Tianwusi to be jailed or engaged in underworld business? We can have a innocent family member joining the army or the Tianwusi to serve, instead of being stained like now and being regarded as bad people by the Tianwusi and the army as being wary of!"

"We are greedy and don't care about death. Thank you, the Palace Master, to let us commit suicide without being eaten..."

After the words fell, the leader committed suicide and died, while the other thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands also chose to stop themselves.

"Amitabha!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhu couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name for a long time, and seemed to remember the situation in Shaolin Temple.

Decades ago, when Xu Zhu was still in Shaolin Temple, Shaolin Temple originally held a martial arts conference to investigate the stolen 72 unique skills. Then the already notorious Tianwusi directly surrounded Shaoshi Mountain with the army. Finally, the abbot of Shaolin Temple who had a relationship with the four evil people bowed his head and apologized. Then, Shaolin Temple was forced to cancel the tax and affiliation. In addition, many martial arts masters were arrested or killed by Tianwusi!

It was also the time when Xu Zhu was dismissed with many other young monks. Finally, he ran to the vicinity of Lingjiu Palace without realizing it. Then he met the Tianshan Tonglao and eventually became the lord of Lingjiu Palace. Now he saw the thirty-six caves, and the people on the seventy-two islands betrayed and committed suicide...

"Let's take a closer look, can we find a place to go out!"

...

Ten years later, the Lingjiu Palace Hall was already like a ruin.

Xu Zhu, who was rarely shaved off his hair and beard with a broken blade, even took a shower, sat cross-legged in the center of the hall, reached out to write down his last words on the stone slab in front of him, and wrote down the general reason for his inheritance of the Lingjiu Palace and the extermination of the family.

"Prince Palace Master, let's take a step first!"

Looking at Xu Zhu's face seemed to cry and laugh, and then after writing the last words, he turned to a calm expression. Among the only two remaining maids in Lingjiu Palace, one of the older personal maids said softly, and then he died with a smile on his heart. Then the other maid also had a smile on his face, and died with true energy.

"Hey~! Don't worry, I'll come to you soon!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhu closed his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, and then began to chant the mantra of rebirth slowly.
