Although Rinpoche already knew that Ding Lingxiu was coming over on the phone, since the last time he saw Moqing, Rinpoche still felt some indescribable fear of Ding Lingxiu, so after meeting Ding Lingxiu, he was still a little cramped.

When Ding Lingxiu saw Xia Xianyao and Rinpoche coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him, patted Rinpoche on the shoulder and said:

"Hey, you two are slow enough."

Xia Xianyao was dressed in a vigorous suit, with a pink sports jacket full of youthful vibe, and Rinpoche also wore his brand new hoodie and shorts, still wearing a pair of sandals, looking very energetic.

"Why don't you prepare well, after all, this time it's true. I'm going to do it with the fire front with live ammunition! Rinpoche said.

"Of course, but this time, although I already know the exact location of the Fire Front Fang this time, it shouldn't be easy to find it, this guy should soon break through the Demon Emperor level, and he already has the ability to hide the demon qi! With the cunning of this demon, it is estimated that the one that appeared in Nanxi Ancient Village before will not be its deity. Ding Lingxiu said.

"Anyway, this palace must surrender the fire front fang this time!" Xia Xianyao was full of confidence, and even forgot about the previous defeat against Yan Mengxue.

Of course, this part of the memory Ding Lingxiu has also been forgotten, otherwise he would definitely ridicule her at this time.

"Hey, who is this brother?" Rinpoche suddenly looked at Zhang Qiang.

"Oh, he, he's the guide of our operation, his name is Zhang Qiang!" Ding Lingxiu introduced with a smile.

"Hehe, hello, I'm Zhang Qiang!" Zhang Qiang extended his hand in a friendly manner.

"Rinpoche!"

"My name is Xia Xianyao, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Xia Xianyao replied heartily.

"Okay, now that we've assembled it, let's go, shall we?" Ding Lingxiu said.

"Hey, what's the hurry? The two of you are full of wine and food, and Bengong and him haven't eaten yet! Xia Xianyao glanced at Ding Lingxiu unhappily.

Ding Lingxiu immediately smiled and helped Xia Xianyao sit down, saying:

"Yes, yes, you must have breakfast, eat well in the morning, eat enough at noon, eat less at night, you can't starve our big palace master, come on, boss, and then two small rakes!"

Xia Xianyao glanced at Ding Lingxiu and said:

"Cut, it's really rare to see you so earnest, don't you have no money to settle the bill?"

"What's the matter, I don't see that your old injuries have not healed, and I'm a little worried about you!"

"Come less!" Xia Xianyao turned white and devoted, "Boss, I want a package of rice!" ”

"Okay!"

After eating and drinking, the group came to Jiuhua Mountain by car, Jiuhua Mountain is named because there are nine peaks resembling lotus flowers, and it is also the four famous Buddhist mountains in China, and it is the dojo of the King of the Bodhisattva, so although the aura here is extremely strong, the feng shui is excellent, but it is also the best place for high-level demons to cultivate, and hone the evil qi in the most holy place, which is also a test that must be experienced to advance to the level of the demon emperor.

The four of them chartered a car, along the highway has been winding up more than ten miles before entering the Jiuhua Scenic Area, the mountain gate of Jiuhua Mountain is the flat land in the col, where there are many pavilions and houses, here is the famous Jiuhua Street.

The street here is dominated by hotels and restaurants, and there are many incense shops on the street, and there are all kinds of lamps, candles, paper and wax. Many pilgrims gather here, and they renovate and prepare fragrant flowers. The four of them walked in the street for a while, and found that there were mountains all around here, only the mountain gate was the mouth, Xia Xianyao also bought some incense, although it was clear that her enemy was very close, but she still wanted to go to the temple first to burn incense and worship the Buddha for her mother, Ding Lingxiu did not dissuade her, and he still had a good impression of the temple all along.

The forests on Jiuhua Mountain are mostly dark green, and the exposed brown and yellow rocks reflect each other to form a strange and beautiful scenery. The stone walls of Jiuhua Street are covered with a lot of moss, mottled and quiet, and there are many trickles of water flowing through the rock pavement, walking in it, which makes people feel that Jiuhua is deep and old, and the ancient meaning is far away.

Four people board the cable car along the mountain wall of the forest to rise to the 100-year-old palace station, parallel to the 100 meters found that there is a temple built on the top of the mountain, the lintel of the Daxiong Treasure Hall is hung with a plaque, the payment is the president of the Republic of China Li Yuanhong, this should be regarded as the highest courtesy received by the Jiuhuashan temple since the dynasties.

After burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, they sat on the ropeway to the ancient worship platform, Xia Xianyao was still planning the content of the worship in the future, Ding Lingxiu finally couldn't help it, and said:

"Hey, I said Xia Dagong Master, we are worshipping at the temple all the way, and stopping at the temple, if we go on like this, we won't be able to get to the place after dark, such a big lion peak, it is not so easy to find the hiding place of the Huoqian Fang without any hints and clues!"

"Okay, got it! It's verbose! Xia Xianyao pouted and clutched the Buddha incense in her hand tightly.

God, high up and doing nothing, still enjoys people's sustenance and makes people forget all the disappointments they once had.

Xia Xianyao is also such a devout believer.

Although the scenery of Jiuhua Mountain is infinite, and he is nostalgic all the way, Ding Lingxiu is not here, and the demon compass in his hand still has no reaction, which seems to be the same as he guessed before, Huoqian Fang must have hidden his demonic energy, and it is even likely that he has expected that they will take the initiative to come here, and this operation seems to be more difficult than imagined at the beginning.

In the afternoon, they finally came to the Jiuziyan Scenic Area, the four of them took the cable car along the wall of Wanren Mountain, the fog lock at the top of the mountain site was misty, the cable car was gently swaying in the wind, Ding Lingxiu looked at the scene outside the window and wondered, fortunately Zhang Shanyi was not around at this time, otherwise the Taoist priest would definitely be frightened.

After an incomparably long ten minutes, several people finally arrived at the station. After being down-to-earth, I feel a sense of relief.

Along the way, Rinpoche played with his pen and remained silent, occasionally consulting with Ding Lingxiu about countermeasures. Zhang Qiang and Xia Xianyao talked endlessly about the strange things they encountered when they were postmen, these strange things Ding Lingxiu had heard about it once, and at this time he sounded very bored, so he took out a dilapidated ancient book left by his father to see if he could find a way to remove the black demonic energy on the Hundred Ghost Map.

There is Huayan Temple in Jiuziyan Scenic Area, and there is Daxing Monk Body Hall below. Although it is not as good as the temples and corridors in Qianshan, it is a good place for leisure and quiet. It's not a holiday, but there are still a lot of tourists pilgrimage to the Buddha pilgrimage, and there are many fragrant flowers and candles along the way, and the shops are very prosperous. Even the roadside stalls fasting in the morning, a small bowl of bamboo shoots is more than 30 yuan, so some locals laugh and say that this "Jiuhua Buddha and Bodhisattva are far away but not close".

Among them, Huayan Zen Temple lies in the mountain pass, the back of the mountain face pool, the right hand is near the river, the green bamboo forest on three sides is surrounded by slopes, and there are road signs along the way. Jiuhua Quanshan road signs are mostly Chinese, English and Korean, mainly because this monk Jin Qiaojue was originally a prince of Goryeo, and there is an endless stream of Korean believers to this day.

The temple is high and the corner of the mountain, the main hall is bright yellow for the three Buddhas, and the left and right side halls are for the Tibetan Manjushri. The incense burner in front of the hall is full of green smoke, the bamboo forest is quiet and verdant, burning incense and praying silently, wishing the coming year a good fortune; Reverent.

After the four people finished worshipping the Buddha here, they overlooked the peaks in the distance, and suddenly felt that the sky was clear and the mountains were green, and the precipice was divided into three colors, and the staggered were staggered, and the weather was thousands for a while. Ding Lingxiu asked a few local vendors, and heard that the scenery from the top of Lion Peak is very spectacular, and there is a temple that is very effective, but the mountain road is difficult, so it is inaccessible.

Later, Ding Lingxiu instigated Xia Xianyao to spend a lot of money to buy some souvenirs, and only then did he find a hidden path behind the ropeway, that is, the road to the summit of Lion Peak.

This road is very secluded and secluded, it seems that the monks in the mountains have piled up a lot of rocks along the traces of the mountain water, some places have cut down trees and piled up, and there are traces of rock faces chiseled, making this path barely winding in the mountains and forests.

The mountain road is rugged and winding. Along the way, there are green pines and bamboos, and boulders are scattered.

Because the snow in the mountains has not melted several times, there are hidden road tracks, and they are rugged and steep, difficult and obscure. This unique road is rarely visited by tourists. The four of them walked on this path, and because the depth of their feet was not real, the guide walked very slippery and difficult.

So they had to break branches to make sticks, and gradually they could walk back and forth.

All the way over the mountains and valleys, turn left and right to a steep slope high boulder, need to climb more than ten meters high slope next to the stone, but the other side of the light is smooth and smooth, only to see the treetops, and the other side is a cliff, just look at it, you can't help but feel a chill.

But now that they have walked here, the way back is even more difficult, and although they are still cursing in their hearts that the peddler of the pit father has provided such a difficult road, several people still tremble and climb with their hands and feet.

Although this boulder is steep, the sandstone texture refuses to be rough and solid, as long as you bow your head to the road, there is no distraction, and finally a few people turned over safely. After they had climbed over the gravel and passed a hill corner, they heard the murmuring of water, and until recently, a stream had flowed down through the mountains and through the forest.

Xia Xianyao saw that the water was clear, so she immediately took the water and drank it.

"Hey, you're not afraid of a bad stomach!" Ding Lingxiu said.

"What do you know, this palace is not as hypocritical as you!" Xia Xianyao said.

"Huh." Ding Lingxiu did not answer, and lit a cigarette.

The sun shines through the forest on the surface of the pool, and the light and shadow ripple on the rock wall, making people feel far away in their hearts.

After walking for a while, I gradually walked into the top of the mountain, the snow melted and thawed to form the soil, which was covered with rotten leaves and the texture was soft, and it was suddenly opened up after crossing the mountain, and the three peaks stood behind the trees in the distance, and the two wings of the side peaks surrounded a piece of open land.

Looking at the Lion Peak not far away from here, it is indeed a strange peak, and the lion is high.

On one side of Lion Peak, there are thousand-year-old pines growing on the cliffs, and the surrounding shrubs are overgrown with grass and grass, ancient and desolate. The road to the summit is cut off, and it is dangerous to climb the mountain, so it is relatively easy to go up the mountain from here, but if you want to reach the top, it is still a little difficult.

However, after discussions along the way, both Ding Lingxiu and Rinpoche agreed that it was most likely hidden at the summit of Lion Peak, or in some nearby mountain col.

What made Ding Lingxiu even more concerned was the two mysterious villages hidden in the mountains, Caoyang Village and Caoyu Village, as well as the strange events that Zhang Qiang had experienced before.

"The mountain ahead is Lion Peak, right?" Ding Lingxiu asked.

"That's right, that's Lion Peak, and the village I mentioned is also around here!" Zhang Qiang replied.

"Oh, and the sinkhole you talked about last time is also around here!"

"That's right, as long as I find Cao Yu Village, I will be able to find that sinkhole!"

"Okay, it seems that it should be impossible for us to climb from here, but I think we should be able to find a way up the mountain by going to the vicinity of that sinkhole first."

"Okay, I'll take you to that village, but Brother Zhao, let's talk about it, you promised me to get back the thing I lost!" Zhang Qiang still had some doubts.

"Of course, it's a deal." Ding Lingxiu replied with a lot of information. R1058
