Two days later.

Liu Peng and Yuan Jing returned to Wulang Village with eight young women, and there were many villagers standing at the entrance of the village. Seeing that his missing baby daughter was rescued by the master safe and sound, he rushed up with tears in his eyes and excitement.

"My Buddha is compassionate!" After reciting a Buddha name, Liu Peng turned his head, suppressed the homesickness in his heart, and looked at the sky, his heart was very complicated.

"Thank you, Master, for saving your life!" After a while, Niu Ya and the villagers came over together, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"I am compassionate." Liu Peng said: "Donors, please get up, slaying demons and demons is a matter within this seat, and donors don't have to do this." ”

The villagers respectfully kowtowed to Liu Peng three times before standing up.

When I came to Niu San's house, the old monk sat in the house. Seeing Liu Peng come back unharmed, he turned his head over, still sulking in his heart.

Liu Peng's heart warmed, at least there is an old monk who cares about himself in this world.

Niu San said: "Master, thank you for saving the little girl!" The great grace is not grateful, as long as we can do it, the master, you can tell us. ”

"My Buddha is merciful, I made a request to the donor before, I don't know if the donor remembers?" Liu Peng said calmly.

"I remember! Master, if you have any orders, our Wulang Village is not a bad seed. Niu San said firmly.

Liu Peng Zhengse said: "There are no other requirements in this seat, starting tomorrow morning, men over the age of eight and under the age of fifteen in your village must hike up the Jinguang Temple every morning!" ”

"Ahh Some villagers cried out.

Niu San squeaked: "Master, that's a ninety-ninety-nine steps, even if you climb for a day, you can't climb up!" ”

"So, are the donors unwilling?" Liu Peng looked at them calmly.

"Master, can you change your request? Even if you just want me to die, I won't frown! Niu was embarrassed on three sides.

"Master, Yuanjing, let's go!" Flatly threw down a sentence, and walked outside without looking back.

The villagers got out of the way, and no one dared to stop them.

After Liu Peng and the others left, Niu Ya said angrily: "Dad, how can you do this? Obviously promised the master, why do you still break your promise? ”

"That's nine hundred and ninety-nine steps, even if it's a young man in his prime, it will take at least a day or more to climb it." One villager retorted.

"You, you ......" Niu Ya ran directly into the room in a fit of anger.

On the way back to the mountain, the old monk was curious and couldn't help asking, "Xuantian, why did you want them to do that just now?" ”

Liu Peng explained: "It's not that this seat wants them to do this, this seat is also for their good!" If they can persevere, even if it's just a two-day round-trip, a long period of exercise, it will be very good for their body. At least the next time you face a gangster, you won't be without a single blow. ”

There is another sentence that Liu Peng didn't say, this seat did this in order to save their lives when the righteous demon war came three years later, so that they could have more chances to live.

Along the way, the group of three people did not speak, burying their heads in the road.

The road back to the mountain, although the road is thorny, surrounded by towering giant trees, and occasionally there are all kinds of wild beasts, but they have transported it relatively well today, at least so far they have not encountered a single beast.

When you come to the bottom of the mountain, you can already see the 999 steps that rise into the clouds, standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking at it, the atmosphere is majestic, straight into the sky, like a sharp sword cutting through the heavens and the earth, standing in the clouds.

"Master, are you tired? Why don't we take a break? Liu Peng glanced at the old monk and said with concern.

"Tired fart, the teacher is still young, go! Be sure to get back to the temple before dark. Otherwise, you'll be hungry tonight! Throwing down a sentence, the old monk took the lead.

The group walked two hundred steps away from the steps, and they were collectively dumbfounded.

There were a lot of snakes on the steps, and at a glance, the black pressure was full of snakes, and they were scrambling to climb up the steps.

The old monk said: "Xuantian, we didn't take the wrong path, right?" ”

Liu Peng said: "No! ”

"! There are a lot of snakes, Xuantian, let's run quickly! We can't stay here any longer, or we'll be food for the snake." The old monk shouted, took Liu Peng's hand and was about to run outside.

"Wait a minute, master." Liu Peng was puzzled: "How can there be so many snakes in our mountain gate?" It shouldn't be! We are almost too poor here to open the pot, these snakes have nothing to run towards us, is there something ahead to attract them? ”

"It doesn't matter if it attracts or not, it's important to save your life, let's escape! If these snakes chase after us, our lives will be lost. The old monk panicked.

Liu Peng thought for a while and said, "Yuanjing, you take the master away first, and find a safe place to hide!" I'm here to take a look, and if there's nothing wrong, I'll let you know. ”

"Yes, master!" Xiao Yaoyao nodded expressionlessly.

"Xuantian, you really don't leave with your master? There are so many snakes, don't say it's you, even if it's a martial arts master, in the face of so many snakes, you have to take a break! Let's listen to the master's words, let's set up another mountain gate! "The old monk is still making his last effort.

"My Buddha is compassionate!" Liu Peng Zhengse said: "As the abbot of Jinguang Temple, how can this seat abandon his mountain gate and run away alone, master, you don't need to persuade you, this seat stays here to investigate for a while, if there is nothing wrong, I will go to you when this seat expells these snakes." ”

"Okay!" The eaglet has grown up and should have its own piece of sky, the old monk no longer dissuaded, and rushed outside with Yuan Jing and the others.

After the old monk and Yuan Jing left.

Liu Peng's face was pensive, he didn't believe that these snakes gathered here, they would be full and had nothing to do, so they came over to relax.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! With so many snakes gathered here, there must be something to attract them.

However, Liu Peng didn't plan to investigate now, with his current martial arts, even if he was experienced in combat, he couldn't be completely unharmed in the face of so many snakes.

The most important task at the moment is to find a safe place and practice a few exercises on your body to the full level.

With a flick of his feet, he turned into a bolt of lightning, and disappeared into this deep forest in a few sweeps.

An hour later.

Liu Peng sat on a thick branch, and the surroundings were quiet, only the sounds of birds and beasts screamed, even if there was danger, he could deal with it in time.

Open the Properties panel.

There are 1.65 million merit points, and it should be possible to upgrade several exercises on your body to level ten.

The basic internal strength of the eighth level of Jinguang Temple is upgraded to the ninth level for 50,000 merit points, and the ninth level is promoted to the tenth level for 100,000 merit points.

Point upgrade the basic internal strength of Jinguang Temple, two golden lights flashed in a row, and the basic internal strength of Jinguang Temple has been upgraded to level ten, and the internal force is added by twenty.
