Behind the gate is a steamed bun-like hill with stone steps leading upwards, and at intervals stands a Buddha hall, flanked by residential buildings. The highest Buddha hall is the most magnificent, and when you stand below and look up, you feel like a temple built in mid-air, mysterious and solemn.

The entire Emei faction is on top of this hill, and the layout is clever. Ning Tao didn't need to take out the earth-seeking inkstone to probe, he could also judge that there was a spiritual vein under this hill.

The dragon veins in the feng shui world are the most precious, but they are much worse than the spiritual veins in the cultivation world. Only a big-name cultivation sect like the Emei faction can sit on this rare blessed land of cultivation in the world, in other words, those small sects and small sects, and if they occupy this territory alone, I am afraid that they will be killed long ago.

However, the spiritual veins under this hill are already quite weak, which is not difficult to judge from the spiritual energy floating in the air. Although this place has aura, it is very thin, and some places even come and go, and this is a sign of spiritual vein failure.

Ning Tao walked up the stairs, his steps were neither fast nor slow, giving people the feeling of visiting a scenic spot.

Compassion caught up: "Doctor Ning, please wait. ”

Ning Tao, who had just stepped on the stone steps and walked a few steps, stopped and looked back at Cixin. It's not just compassion catching up, but also mercy and a large group of nuns.

Ning Tao said: "Didn't I already break through your sword formation? If you still want me to live in that broken grass house, I won't stay, so I'll go back." ”

Cixin stopped in front of Ning Tao, a little nervous: "No, Senior Sister Ci'en asked me to prepare a room for you, you come with me." ”

Ning Tao moved his eyes to kindness.

Ci'en avoided Ning Tao's eyes, shook the Buddha's dust, and raised one palm: "Amitabha." ”

Ning Tao didn't want to deal with her, she was just carrying out the instructions of the Mind Destroying Master. He nodded, and then walked with compassion.

For him, it was not difficult to break through the sword formation of the mountain gate at all, but the difficult thing was the level of the Mind Destroyer Tai. Whether he could get the skull fragment from the hands of the Mind Destroyer Master Tai and solve the mystery of Zhu Hongyu's death back then, he was actually not sure at all in his heart.

Compassion brought Ning Tao to the mountainside of Mantou Mountain, and then led Ning Tao to a row of side houses. This is the residence of the nuns, and there are a lot of monk's robes and boxers drying in the courtyard in front of the wing. I didn't see a bra, after all, everything here is self-sufficient, and nuns can't afford to spend money on a bra with a sponge like women in the world. There are some white strips of cloth, and I guess those strips of cloth are their bras.

A group of young nuns stood in the corridor, looking at Ning Tao, muttering something, their eyes full of curiosity. Not all female nuns can go out from here to see the outside world, and it is possible that Ning Tao is the first man they have seen in so many years.

The group of nuns looked at Ning Tao generously, but Ning Tao was a little uncomfortable and avoided their sight. The nuns were young and beautiful, but there was no distraction in his heart. This is the pure land of Buddhism, and there should be no defiled thoughts.

Cixin brought Ning Tao to the door of a room and said, "Doctor Ning, you can live in this room." You go first, and I'll get you a new bedding to change." ”

Ning Tao nodded, but said secretly in his heart: "Isn't this testing me again?" There are so many rooms in this Emei faction, I don't believe that there is no single room for me to live in, what does it mean to arrange me in the girls' dormitory?"

Compassion opened the door and walked inside.

Ning Tao glanced at the group of nuns standing in the corridor muttering from the corner of his eye. He was really curious what they were muttering, thinking of him as a circus monkey or something?

Ci'en led the people away, probably to see the Mind Destroyer and report the situation.

Ning Tao also entered the house.

The room is not large, more than ten square meters, with a wooden bed, a small table by the window and a matching bench. There is also a small wooden wardrobe, which is not even painted, and looks quite old.

Compassion folded the quilt neatly, rolled it up with a blanket, and held it in his arms to take it away.

Ning Tao said tentatively: "That, when will I be able to meet the Master of Mind Destroying?"

Cixin said: "I don't know about this, I asked Senior Sister Cixin on the way, and she said that she was going to tell the Master. When I see you, I have to open my mouth. Don't worry, stay for the time being, you'll see the Master. ”

Ning Tao said: "Okay, I'll stay in peace and wait for the Venerable Master to see me, but it's ......."

Cixin looked at Ning Tao, and his big black eyes blinked: "But what?"

Ning Tao said: "Isn't there any other room here? I mean a separate courtyard, a place suitable for me to live alone." ”

Cixin pursed her lips and smiled: "How can there be such a place to live, this is the Emei faction, of course the people who live are women, you can be wronged." ”

"How many monks do you have in the Emei sect?" Ning Tao asked again.

Ci Xin thought for a while before saying, "There must be five or six hundred people, but there are not five or six hundred houses to live in, and many senior sisters and sisters live in the same room." ”

"So many people?" Ning Tao was a little surprised.

Ci Xin smiled and said, "I know what you're surprised about, we don't have so many cultivators in the Emei Sect, and the vast majority of senior sisters and sisters are ordinary monks. They come from all over the country and are orphans without a father or mother. Every year, my sister goes out to travel, and when she encounters those orphans who have no father or mother and have wise roots, she will bring them back to raise them and devote herself to practicing Buddhism. Of course, only girls, not boys. Men are generally not allowed to come in here, and if it weren't for Shizun wanting to repair that flying sword, you wouldn't be here. ”

Ning Tao suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I'm fine." ”

When he heard Cixin say five or six hundred people, Ning Tao was really taken aback by her, you must know that five or six hundred cultivators are a powerful force, if you want to fight an asymmetrical war, there is no country in the world that will not have a headache. Then as soon as Compassion explained, he was relieved. The most important thing in the Emei sect is that there are ordinary monks, and there are cultivators, but they are very few, after all, not everyone can become cultivators.

If it was really so easy to change his life and become a cultivator, Ning Tao would have transformed Ge Ming and Su Ya into cultivators a long time ago. There is no problem with turning into a demon, but he is cultivating the Heavenly Dao, so he can't do that. Even if it was Jiang Hao, he only cured her demon disease and saved her life, instead of turning her into a demon. If he directly transforms Ge Ming or Su Ya into a demon, then his Taoism will be ruined. It is even possible that the Good and Evil Ding will not cure the demon disease and take the lives of Ge Ming and Su Ya!

Life is in the world, people are doing, and the sky is watching. There are some things that must not be done, and if they are done, they will be damned.

These were Ning Tao's emotions for a while, and they flashed by.

Cixin left with the sheets and bedding, and said politely to Ning Tao when he went out: "Doctor Ning, you can rest first, I will come over with a new bedding and sheets." ”

Ning Tao also said politely: "I'm sorry for you." ”

After Cixin left, Ning Tao closed the door of the room, and subconsciously wanted to take out his mobile phone to report safety to Jiang Hao and Qing before he remembered that the mobile phone was taken away by Ci'en. He surveyed the room, then bit his finger and jumped on the beam, drawing a bloody lock on it.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Ning Tao hurriedly jumped down from the beam, patted the dust on his hands, and then went over and opened the door.

There was a group of little masters standing at the door, staring at him one by one, and their eyes were really like a group of big girls who had never seen monkeys before suddenly saw monkeys in the circus.

Ning Tao was stared at by a group of young nuns, and said embarrassedly: "Ladies and gentlemen, is there something wrong?"

"Uh-huh. A young nun, who looked to be no more than in her early twenties, coughed dryly, and pretended to be old-fashioned: "Donor, you ...... Where did it come from?"

Ning Tao said: "I'm from outside. ”

The nun frowned: "I know you're from outside, I want to ask where your home is, where are you from, understand?"

Ning Tao smiled: "I am from Shudi Mountain City, and now I live in the Northern Capital. ”

The nun shook her head: "I haven't heard of Shancheng, and I don't know where my hometown is." When she said this, her expression was a little gloomy.

"I don't remember where my hometown is, I only vaguely remember...... There is a big yard and there is a river in front of the door with a flock of ducks in the river. A nun said.

"I remember a lot of snow in my house, very thick and thick snow......"

A group of young female nuns muttered and talked about the "hometown" in their memories, and Ning Tao became a foil and a pocket for talking.

Ning Tao understands them, how can people not want to go home? Falling leaves return to the roots, this is a concept that is deeply rooted in the bones and blood of every Chinese, and after a long time outside, the feeling of homesickness will become stronger and stronger. But they are all fatherless and motherless orphans, and they were brought here before they were sensible, even if they missed their hometown or relatives, it was useless.

"What has become of the outside world?" asked the leading nun again.

Ning Tao thought for a while before saying: "The outside world is dirty and messy, there are many liars, many unscrupulous businessmen, the water in the ditch is black and foul, the house where people live is like a birdcage, many people work hard just to find a house to sleep in, in short, there is no comparison with you here, I envy you to live in this fairyland-like place." ”

"Is the outside world so bad?" said the nun with a look of disappointment.

Ning Tao sighed: "Some places are worse than what I said, but the worst thing is the people's hearts, and now many people's hearts are broken." ”

"Oh, I still want to go out and have a look, so I don't want to go out. The nun said.

A nun said, "You are really pitiful, you can stay here for a few more days and talk to us about the outside world." ”

Ning Tao just smiled and didn't respond. The outside world is certainly not as bad as he says it is, and the reason why he said this is actually a white lie. If he paints the outside world in a colorful and colorful way, these young nuns will want to go out and see it even more. They live an isolated life here, all as pure as little swans, if they really go to the big quagmire outside, then they won't come back with a sludge?

"What are you doing here, don't do your homework!" came the voice of mercy, stern.

A group of female nuns suddenly dispersed.

Kindness and compassion walked over, with a brand new bedding and sheets in their arms.

Ci'en said, "Doctor Ning, please come with me, Master wants to see you." ”

"Okay, please lead the way. Ning Tao said.

Cixin went into Ning Tao's room to make a bed for him.
