Sign In Buddha's Palm Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Death.

Edited by: Mochiusagi

“Little Monk.”

“Can I ask you a question?”

After a little while and the Princess calmed down a bit, she suddenly asked.

“Go ahead.” Su Qin only casually replied.

“Do you think the Tang Empire can be saved?”

The Princess looked around to make sure that there was no one around and then lowered her voice.

“Can the Tang Empire be saved?” Su Qin glanced at the Princess.

Su Qin did not expect the Princess to ask this question.

If the Princess asked if Emperor Tang can be saved, then Su Qin can understand it, but the Princess actually asked about the Tang Empire?

“It depends on Emperor Tang's death.”

Su Qin thought about it for a while, and said: “If Emperor Tang hails a Crown Prince and exiles the other prince's before his death, the Tang Empire could continue for hundreds of years.”

Su Qin's tone was flat. As if the topic of exiling and killing literal prince's, was the same as eating a bowl of rice at noon.

If other people heard Su Qin say such things, even the Abbot will turn pale with fright.

Even an ordinary Grade 1 Great Grandmaster dare not comment on the princes like this.

Contest to them, the Princess actually thought about it quite seriously. She shook her head and said: “Impossible, there are ministers and kings backing my Imperial Brothers (the princes).”

“Once a prince is given the death sentence, it will inevitably cause the king's uprising and the court turmoil.”

“Then clean the court with him!” Su Qin slowly said.

The Princess's expression changed slightly.

A king is independent and could not be completely controlled by the Empire. Hence, if they could really kill a king, it will definitely be of great benefit to the overall rule of the Tang Empire.

“Little Monk, your view on this is quite clear.”

Little Princess gave Su Qin a deep look.

One month later.

Empress Li's group bid farewell to Abbot Hui Wen.

When Abbot Hui Wen got the news of their leave, he sent Empress Li out of the Shaolin Temple along with the Court Heads as soon as possible.

“Empress Li is going back at this time… Is there something wrong in the Palace?” The Arhat Court Head frowned and said as he looked at the disappearing carriage.

“This monk heard some news, about Eunuch Zhao seeming to have used some means to prolong the life of the Emperor for several more years.”

The Disciplinary Court Head whispered.

When the Arhat Court Head heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim: “Eunuch Zhao is really a man of talent and competence. Not to mention that he has achieved Peak Grade 1. He's really respectable!”

“Okay, there is no need to discuss outside affairs.” Abbot Hui Wen glanced at the Court Heads and said solemnly.

With the departure of Empress Li's group, the Shaolin Temple has, once again, returned to their previously quiet life.

Su Qin also regained his peace.

A few months later, one day, Su Qin suddenly felt something. His figure flashed and he appeared in front of the office of the Handyman Court Head.

His Divine Sense spread and although there was a door in the way, Su Qin knew all the situation inside.

With Divine Sense, Su Qin can clearly feel that the Life Essence of the Handyman Court Head was getting weaker and weaker.

Su Qin was silent.

With the current state of the Court Head, he should be passing away soon.

The Handyman Court Head personally led Su Qin into the Handyman Court. If it were not for the Handyman Court Head, Su Qin might not have even been able to enter the Shaolin Temple in the first place.

“Court Head…”

Su Qin sighed slightly. He opened the door and walked in slowly.

“Oh, Zhen Guan…” The Court Head's eyes opened. He looked at Su Qin and smilingly said: “Unexpectedly, you are the one who's next to me when I am at my end.”

“Court Head, do you have any wishes?” Su Qin asked.

“Wishes?”

The Court Head shook his head: “I have lived for almost a hundred years. When I was a boy, I used my sword to indulge in love, and then I entered the Shaolin Temple. I have already enjoyed everything, how can I wish for more?”

The Court Head was very open. He looked at Su Qin and said, “When you entered the Shaolin Temple more than ten years ago, I knew that you were different from other 'orphans'.”

“Some time ago, the Su Family suddenly asked for you to go back to the outside world. That time, I knew that you are indeed not an orphan. You came to the Shaolin Temple to avoid disaster.”

Su Qin was silent.

As for the fact that he is a member of the Su family, Su Qin never thought of concealing it.

“I have already told the Abbot, if you want to go back outside, he will not stop you.”

The Court Head's voice was getting weaker and weaker: “Okay, you go back, I want to be alone for a while.”

“Okay.”

Su Qin nodded then closed the door. But he did not leave, but instead waited quietly.

Su Qin didn't turn around and leave until the aura of the Court Head completely dissipated.

The next day.

Abbot Hui Wen and the Court Heads came to the Handyman Court.

And a few days later.

Abbot Hui Wen personally found Su Qin and asked him if he wanted to return to the outside world.

Obviously, what the Handyman Court Head said before his death was true. He did mention Su Qin returning to the outside world to Abbot Hui Wen.

“Abbot.”

“Ever since I have entered the Shaolin Temple, the outside world has nothing to do with me anymore.”

Su Qin refused.

For Su Qin, the Shaolin Temple is a treasure land where he can continuously get Divine Pills, Divine Arts and Secret Techniques.

Su Qin will not leave the Shaolin Temple before he is invincible, and the strongest in the world.

After the Handyman Court Head passed away, the days became slower and longer.

To be honest, the Court Head's death affected Su Qin a bit. But it's also because of this, that Su Qin's desire to become stronger was fueled even more.

If he stays where he is currently, 370 years later, he will be like the Handyman Court Head and die.

This was obviously not what Su Qin wanted.

Another year passed.

In the past year, Su Qin had been polishing his Internal Strength so that he can complete the three requirements of becoming an Arhat.

“Internal Strength is derived from the body, so how can its ultimate transformation be achieved?”

Su Qin kept thinking about this point.

Tempering his body was done by cultivating [Invincible Vajra Divine Art] and [Lunar Body Refining Technique].

To condense his Divine Sense, Su Qin took countless Divine Accumulation Pill to strengthen his Divinity, and finally topped it off with the Divine Concentration Pill.

But as for the transformation of Internal Strength…

Su Qin has no idea, even now he is still clueless.

In the past year, he has already Signed In, god knows how many times at the Bodhi Court. He even got dozens of Divine Concentration Pills.

But he never got a medicinal pill that helps in transforming his Internal Strength.

“Perhaps, I should go to the Back Mountain?”

Su Qin turned his eyes to the direction of the Shaolin Temple's Back Mountain.

The Back Mountain is a forbidden area of ​​the Shaolin Temple. It is where the Demon Buddha that nearly destroyed Shaolin Temple 900 years ago, is being suppressed.

In the past few years, as Su Qin's strength has made a significant breakthrough, he has basically visited the other forbidden areas in the Shaolin Temple and Signed In there. He was only left with the Back Mountain…
