Walking along the winding stone steps for two hours, Zhou Yi finally arrived in front of the Nanshan Temple, which has the "first temple in the south of the Yangtze River".

Because it is a famous scenic spot in the city, Zhou Yi has heard others mention it countless times when he was studying before, and he still has a certain understanding of this place after years of brainwashing.

Nanshan Temple Buddhism and Taoism coexist, the east side is eight Taoist temples, the west side is eight Buddhist temples, it can be called a unique temple in our country, every holiday, countless good men and women will come here to worship.

There is a pair of stone lions in front of the main gate of Nanshan Temple, the majestic shore, the green cypress stands upright in the door, the green grass is like a tree, go inside along the main gate, there are nine entrances in total.

The ninth entrance is the back mountain gate, out of this gate, you can continue to climb the mountain, and you can climb to the highest peak of the South Mountain, Ronghuo Peak.

Zhou Yi himself is not a person who believes in Buddhism and Taoism, and he is not interested in Taoist Buddhist temples, and wanders around aimlessly in the Nanshan Temple.

In the crowded temple, there are all kinds of people, they are not afraid of the heat, almost everyone has a little bit of piety on their faces, they are either for faith, or for fun, or to fulfill their long-term wishes.

He suddenly had some envy for these people of faith, although they may not be very religious, but at least when they encounter adversity, the small faith is enough to support them to move forward bravely.

After all, he still doesn't like this kind of noisy place, for him, this kind of place is too noisy, he prefers a quiet environment.

Passing through the back door of the Nanshan Temple, I turned around and saw that there was a couplet on the stone pillars on both sides.

"Only good people know what is good!"

"Life and death are all made by oneself, not by heaven!"

Zhou Yi looked at it blankly for a moment, didn't know what he remembered, shook his head with a smile, and continued to walk along the road towards the highest peak, Ronghuo Peak.

The Melting Fire Peak is named after a great god in ancient times, which is the top of the South Mountain, and there is a Melting Fire Hall on the top of the Melting Fire Peak, which is used to worship the Great God of Melting Fire.

After walking along the avenue for an hour, Zhou Yi finally climbed to the top of the Melting Fire Peak, and he could see the Melting Fire Hall of incense from a distance.

However, he didn't really want to see the dignity of the fire god, leaning on the stone fence on the side, looking at the scenery below, smelling the faint smell of incense in the air, his mood became dull and relaxed.

"Why doesn't this benefactor come into the temple and pay respects?"

The old man's voice broke Zhou Yitian's quiet mood, and when he looked back, an old monk in a monk's robe was standing behind him, his hands folded, looking at him with a smile.

Zhou Yi replied lightly: "I don't believe in God or Buddhism."

"I see, but when I was the age of the donor, I had already begun to worship the gods and Buddhas." The old monk still smiled, and continued unhurriedly: "Once you don't worship the gods and Buddhas one day, you will feel uneasy, for fear that the gods and Buddhas will be angry and let you die in some unknown space."

Zhou Yi always felt that there was something in the words of this smiling old monk, but before he could savor the meaning of this passage, there was a burning sensation on the Ascending Ring in his hand.

"Hint: The Unknown Ascendant has entered within five meters of you!"

"Warning: The Unknown Ascender is one level above the level of the Tower of Ascending you are!"

He frowned, looked past the old monk in front of him, and glanced around in front of the Melting Fire Hall, and soon found an obese middle-aged man in a gray shirt staring at him in the crowd not far away.

When the middle-aged obese man saw Zhou Yi seeing him, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the palm of his right hand was facing down in front of his throat, slowly crossing his throat, which was obviously a provocative action of "cutting his throat".

Zhou Yi's eyebrows rose slightly, touched his nose, hugged his chest with both hands, and quietly looked at the middle-aged obese man, revealing a disdainful look.

The middle-aged obese man hooked his hand towards Zhou Yi, the smile on the corner of his mouth became colder and colder, and the killing intent in his eyes was not concealed in the slightest.

"Master, I'll leave first if I'm in a hurry!"

"In that case, the donor will see you next time."

Zhou Yi clasped his hands together at the old monk in front of him, nodded to each other, and then walked past the old monk and walked towards the obese middle-aged man with an expressionless face.

Seeing this, the fat man sneered and turned around and walked towards the Melting Fire Palace, Zhou Yi looked joyless and carefree, and went up unhurriedly.

Led by the fat man, the two of them walked through the back door of the Melting Fire Hall unhurriedly.

There is actually a small open space behind the Melting Fire Palace, empty, the edge of the open space is surrounded by a stone fence, looking down from a distance, you can only see the sea of clouds layer upon layer, and you can't see the bottom.

The fat man didn't talk nonsense with Zhou Yi, and when he got to the open space, he started directly, and suddenly there was a huge axe in his hand, he flashed forward, jumped up, and slashed at Zhou Yi with all his strength.

A silver light flashed, and the fat man looked at Zhou Yi not far away, and a trace of doubt flashed in his mind, what happened just now?

He suddenly felt an itch in his stomach, looked down, a circle of slender blood stains appeared on his stomach, he reached out and touched it, blood gushed out wildly, and the upper half of his body was separated from the lower half of his body!

In just a moment, he was actually slashed in half by a layer of Heaven Ascenders, and because it was so fast, he didn't even feel pain for a short time.

After his body was divided into two parts, he relied on his strong physique, and he couldn't die for the time being, and great pain and fear both struck, he looked at Zhou Yi not far away, crying and begging for mercy: "I was wrong, don't kill me, please, all the equipment on my body is given to you, save me!"

Zhou Yi looked at the fat man who was still crawling with only half of his body left, the silver light flashed again, and the fat man's head fell to the ground, and he couldn't die anymore.

He would not have any mercy for the enemy, if he were not stronger than this fat man, he would be the one lying on the ground and begging for mercy now!

Zhou Yi picked up the Ascending Ring and Ascending Bracelet left behind after the fat man's corpse disappeared, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he felt that he was strong now, he didn't think that he could walk sideways with this attribute.

In this world where the strong are like forests, he is not enough to see now, only by being as low-key as possible can he grow and become stronger steadily!
