Running out of the missionary hall, he searched all the exits in the temple from the road, but no matter where he came out, there was only a small open space outside the temple, and there was no exit at the edge of the open space that connected to the ground, only a bottomless abyss.

After trying all the methods and begging for mercy a few times, Conglu had to accept everything he was doing.

The only way to get out of this hellish place is to memorize all the books in the mission hall.

He had no choice but to reluctantly push open the door of the missionary hall.

Although he couldn't understand these words, after reading them for a long time, he seemed to really understand the meaning of some of them.

In fact, he just forgot, after all, his mind contains the knowledge of the entire earth, and this kind of text similar to oracle bone inscription, which depicts everything graphically, is actually not so difficult to understand.

At first he thought it would take a long time to memorize the unintelligible texts, but as he read more and more of the texts, he realized that he could memorize all the texts almost at a glance.

Gradually, he was able to guess more and more words, and he was able to understand the meaning of the classics a little bit.

Time passed, and the road was not starved to death. Whenever he felt hungry, he would take a sip of water from the well in the courtyard. Although he still feels empty in his stomach, he is hungry less and less.

At first, he drank water from the well five times a day, but gradually it became three times a day, and then once a day.

Until recent weeks, he had only needed that small sip a week.

After about six months, Conglu was able to basically recognize all the words in the classics, and the speed of reciting the articles was getting faster and faster.

Since he was able to understand these words, he found that the classics here had nothing to do with the martial arts cheats in the novels.

It's full of books on people and hearts, people and people, people and spirits, people and demons, people and nature.

Although it is also very insightful, it is not comparable to the three masters of Confucianism, Taoism, and Law in ancient China.

But in order to leave this hellish place, he still had to continue to carry it.

Autumn goes to spring, three years pass in a flash, and I finally remember all the classics in the temple from the road.

Pushing open the temple door, it was another sunny day. The sun was shining on his face, and it was the first time he felt that the sun was so warm here. It's not just the warmth of the body, it's more about the warmth in the heart.

At this moment, the voice that had not been heard again for more than two years came out.

"Remember?"

Conglu replied confidently, "I remember everything." ”

He originally thought that the master would test himself, but he didn't expect the master to say next, "Since you have memorized everything, then you can go down the mountain!" ”

"Holy!"

If he knew it was so simple, then why did he have to memorize all the books, as long as he said that he remembered them all, he wouldn't be able to leave this hellish place.

"There is a sword and three letters in the hall of confusion, you take them with you. The black one is for you, and you should never open it unless you have to. ”

"The yellow one is for the head of the state religion, and when you hand over the letter to him, by the way, bring me a message, saying that the sky is going to change!"

"Finally, there is a red one, and after you pass the test of the state religion, someone will naturally come to you."

After the explanation, the master never said a word again.

He took out the three letters from the road into the temple of confusion, but he thought to himself, "Shouldn't books be used to solve puzzles, the temple of preaching, the hall of confusion?" ”

Although I've always wanted to leave this ghost place, I feel a little reluctant to leave when I really want to leave.

He looked around, took another sip of water from the well in the courtyard, and finally walked to the statue of the twenty-seventh head of the state religion, who was also his master.

This time he knelt very seriously, bowed very seriously, and kowtowed very seriously.

Although they have only met once in the past three years, they have rarely spoken. But he could feel that this old man hiding in the shadows had actually been silently paying attention to himself.

I remember one time he was sick and didn't know what to do, but when he woke up, he was lying in his bedroom.

The bitterness in the mouth is obviously the taste of Chinese medicine.

"Old man! I'm leaving! ”

No response was received.

Pushing the temple gate, I remembered from the road that I couldn't fly, and this was how to get down from here.

But when the temple door was completely pushed open, he immediately froze, because a stone staircase appeared in front of him.

The stone staircase is so long that there is no end in sight. The most unbelievable thing is that every stone staircase is floating in the air.

Recalling the explanation of the ladder in the Taoist canon, "It turns out that what is written in the book is true!" ”

Stepping on this foundationless stone staircase, it would be a lie to say that you are not nervous. I walked carefully every step of the way, for fear that if I didn't pay attention, I would fall from this bottomless height.

He didn't know how long he had walked, but the light green moon had risen in the sky, but he hadn't seen the face of the earth yet.

The color of the moonlight gradually changed, and the stone staircase under his feet also changed from blue to red. The moonlight changed seven times in one night, and the stone staircase under his feet changed seven times. It wasn't until the sun rose again that the stone stairs returned to their original form.

He didn't know how long he had walked, but he vaguely remembered that the sun had appeared six or seven times. It was another scorching afternoon that he finally saw the end of the ladder.

Approaching sunset, the road finally finished this long and thrilling road.

Just as he took his last step, the ladder behind him suddenly disappeared without a trace.

I only heard a loud noise in the sky, which was the sound of the heavenly bell, which was mentioned in the Taoist scriptures that when every heir of the state religion descended the mountain, the heavenly bell would ring throughout the heavens and the earth.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

The bell rang twenty-nine times, which also means that he is the twenty-ninth person who has come down from the sacred mountain.

There was no one at the bottom of the mountain to greet them, because the mountain is forbidden for anyone to enter.

He knew this, and it was because of this that he found it strange, because there was a man not far away, a strangely dressed man.

The man held something like a magnifying glass in his hand, and looked at an old stone tablet, as if thinking about something.

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more than is lost. Humanity is not, the damage is not enough......" from the road stood behind the man and read slowly.

The man was not frightened by the voice behind him, but turned back to him in surprise and said, "You can actually read these words!" ”

As soon as he said this, he found out from the road that the text on the stone tablet was actually in traditional Chinese, and he thought, "Is there Chinese here?!" ”

"How do you know what these words mean?"

Ignoring the man's question, he asked backwards, "Who are you and how did you end up here?" ”

"You don't know, I'm from outside."

"Outside! Could it be that you are from the demon clan? ”

After staying in Mount Kinabalu for so long, this place has been adopted as its own territory by default. When a foreigner is found on his own territory, of course, he has to interrogate and interrogate.

"No, no, no, I'm not a demon, I'm a human."

"I see, you're from the Savages."

The man nodded in acquiescence, but there was a clear sense of helplessness.

"Why are you no longer working under the mountain, but running to the sacred mountain?"

"I, I'm lost, yes lost."

Such clumsy acting skills can be seen through at a glance from the road, but he didn't expose it.

Because in his eyes, this stranger is just a little kid. Maybe it's the children in the neighborhood who are greedy for fun and afraid of being caught by themselves, so they make up a reason to say that they are road idiots from the wilderness.

However, he still reminded in a serious tone, "Outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit here, you should leave quickly!" ”

"Can you tell me again what these words mean?"

He felt that the man was a little annoying, so he shouted with a fierce look on his face, "Didn't you hear you let you go!" ”

The man seemed to be frightened, turned around and chose a path and left.

The man chose the road to Kyoto, and secretly muttered from the road, "The little boy is still trying to lie to me!" ”

Then he also chose a way down the mountain, but this road did not lead to Kyoto, but to another place, the demon clan.

What is the heir of the state religion, what is one person below ten thousand people, from the road is not interested at all.

He was most interested in the ancient dragons of the demon clan mentioned in the Taoist scriptures, followed by the mermaids of the water tribe, and many, many strange beings that had never been seen on earth.

In fact, the above is only part of the reason, the main one is that the heir of the state religion is not so easy to be a person.

According to the records of the Taoist scriptures, each generation of the heirs of the state religion has to go through many trials of life and death.

Not only that, but the state religion also has a rule, "When the heavenly bell rings, the saints go out, and the saints of a hundred schools move." ”

It means that if he does not pass the test of the hundred schools of the human race, then he will have to give up the position of heir.

Therefore, I chose another path from the road, that is, to swim and play in the water.

I walked out of Mount Kinabalu and heard the voice of this world from the road. I couldn't tell if it was an insect or a bird, but it was real, and it wasn't the same sound that came out of my head before.

Everything in his ears made him feel extremely happy, even the cicada song that he hated the most in the past was so beautiful.

The scent of wildflowers slowly entered his body as he breathed. That feeling of being lost for a long time made him feel as if he had been reborn again.

Until, a bear who is not very obedient and blocks his way. His heart began to tense, and he didn't dare to move.

He wanted to run, but he remembered that the book said that the bear is blind and that it can't see you as long as you don't move. So he closed his eyes and stood motionless.

Sure enough, the words in the book were all lies, and the black bear got closer and closer, so close that it was too late to run.

Because he clearly felt the breath of the big black bear, and the heavy breath had already sprayed on his hand, so he didn't dare to move.

Who knows, the big black bear just stuck out his tongue and licked him. Then he lay down in front of him and made a gesture of invitation. It's like saying, "Come up, I'll carry you!" ”
