"No, I can't. The little boy shook his head, and then said, "The sage once said that those who enter the holy mountain must rely on themselves, and should not thirst for help from anyone. ā
These words reminded Pu Tiange of the scenes he had seen in those pictures, some people fell to the ground for various reasons, but others did not help and left them to fend for themselves.
It is not difficult to understand if this is the reason for the words of the saints, but there is a point that Putiange has some doubts, even if the people on the holy mountain cannot help each other, but if someone falls, it is impossible to pretend not to see it, right?
According to common sense, if someone falls, others should more or less turn their heads and look at it, this is human nature, but the people on this holy mountain are like puppets, they only know how to move forward all the way, and they don't care about the world.
This is very strange, and maybe there is something hidden in it.
"Forget it, I'd better get up on my own. Thinking of this, Pu Tiange was a little helpless, although he was seriously injured and it was very difficult to stand up on his own, but there was no way, and the current situation could only rely on himself.
Pu Tiange looked at the surrounding terrain, then crawled forward on the ground, climbed to a protruding boulder, and then held the edges and corners of the boulder with his hands, and slowly supported himself.
The whole process was very painful, especially when Pu Tiange's wound touched the gravel on the ground, there would be a heart-piercing pain, if it was an ordinary person, he would have cried out in pain.
Pu Tiange secretly rejoiced that fortunately it was only the ribs that were broken, not the bones of the vertebrae or limbs, otherwise he would have to lie on the ground and wait for death, let alone stand up.
During the time that Putiange was lying on the ground and standing up with the boulder, the little boy kept staring at him, and did not rush past as if he didn't see it like the others.
"Why didn't you continue to move forward?" Seeing the little boy's appearance, Pu Tiange couldn't help but ask strangely, according to his understanding, this little boy should leave here like everyone else.
"You are not a resident of the Holy Mountain. The little boy stared at Putiange for a moment before he said word by word, "Where are you from?"
"You don't know. Putiange's gaze did not rest on the little boy's face, but searched everywhere to find something that could be used as a crutch.
At this time, Pu Tiange's gaze stayed in the gap between the boulder below and the ground, and in this gap there was a rotting leg bone without much flesh and blood, and it seemed that it had been dead for a long time.
The owner of this leg bone should also be a group of people who once climbed the holy mountain, but unfortunately died here.
Pu Tiange stretched out his hand and tugged, it seemed that the leg bone was still very strong, and finally under Pu Tiange's laborious pulling, the leg bone was finally pulled out of the gap. The leg bones are relatively intact, preserving the part from the foot bone to the thigh bone, although there is still a trace of rotting flesh hanging on it, but it is almost all air-dried and does not smell much.
And judging by the size of the leg bone, the owner of the leg bone should be an adult, but it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman.
Pu Tiange put the leg bone on the ground and pressed it hard, and found that the leg bone was not only strong enough, but also the bone joints were very stiff, which could be used as a crutch.
Just as Pu Tiange was fiddling with his leg bones, the little boy had already left the place and walked forward.
Pu Tiange hurriedly grabbed the leg bone and limped after it, he felt that this little boy knew a lot of things, and he was defenseless against strangers, maybe he could get some more things out of the little boy's mouth.
As long as you can figure out the ins and outs of this sacred mountain, many questions may be answered.
"What are you doing here? You're not a resident of the Holy Mountain. The little boy saw Pu Tiange follow, and asked Pu Tiange as he walked, his expression calm as usual.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious, but don't worry, it won't get in your way. Pu Tiange said with a smile, it seems that humans and animals are harmless, but in fact, there are other plans.
Hearing this, the little boy didn't say anything more, and his sense of defense was very weak.
In this way, Putiange walked with the crowd to the holy mountain, and people did not stop to rest along the way, which was originally a very difficult thing for him, because even if he was not injured, he could not go on without a breath, but fortunately, it was close to dark not long after leaving, and people began to find a place to spend the night.
It seems that even if these people walk non-stop during the day, they still have to find a place to rest when night falls, after all, it is difficult to see in the night, and it is easy to be injured by accidents, and even endanger their lives.
In fact, if you really had to walk even at night, then it is estimated that any crowd that came to the Holy Mountain would be wiped out, and it would be impossible for anyone to reach the summit alive and receive the golden light.
People found a cave on the mountain to spend the night, this cave is very spacious, the terrain is also very flat, and the cave is more and more winding in the cave, and there is no end in sight.
The little boy sat under the cave wall at the outside of the cave, while Pu Tiange deliberately sat next to him, and most of the others were lying in the back of the cave.
According to Pu Tiange's estimate, there should be hundreds of people in this cave, with women, children, and the elderly being the most, and only a small number of monks, but he didn't know how many people there were when he went up the mountain. After a long journey, many people may have fallen on the mountain road and never got up.
"Why don't you tell me about the saint you talk about, or where you live?" said Putiange, next to the little boy's shoulder, encouraging him.
"You don't know how many times you've asked along the way. The little boy frowned, and his tone was very serious: "I said, I can't tell you too much about saints, because it's taboo, and my hometown has nothing to say." ā
Seeing that the little boy was so stubborn, Pu Tiange didn't want to ask more.
However, Pu Tiange still put some clues out of the little boy's mouth on the way just now, such as that no one in them knows how to practice at all, and there is no danger, and life is very peaceful.
It's just that these are far from enough, and it is difficult to deduce anything, so Putiange needs to think of other ways.
The next morning, the people left the cave one after another, and if it weren't for the little boy who accidentally alarmed Putiange when he got up, I am afraid that when the people were gone, he would still be sleeping in the cave.
This is also because Pu Tiange is covered in injuries and is too tired to wake up on time.
After waking up, Pu Tiange hurriedly picked up the leg bone that was placed next to him and put it on the ground, limping to follow, fortunately people didn't walk fast, otherwise Pu Tiange wouldn't be able to keep up at all.
While walking, Pu Tiange was thinking, with his current situation, I am afraid that he will fall behind after walking for a long time, and he may not be able to catch up with him at that time, after all, this mountain is extremely vast, and hundreds of people will disappear here for a while.
But Putiange couldn't think of a good way for a while.
After a while, the little boy who was walking in front of Putiange suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, his knee was broken by the gravel, and bright red blood flowed out, and the little boy seemed to be injured to his muscles and bones, and he couldn't stand up for a while. Pu Tiange tried to help him in the past, but he threw him away.
"I don't need your help. As he spoke, the boy struggled to get up from the ground, but he was clearly not lightly injured, and it took him a long time to get up.
However, it was evident that in this state, the little boy could not go far, and I saw that he endured the pain and moved forward step by step, but soon fell to the ground again, and he then got up and continued to walk forward..............................
After repeating this several times, the little boy's legs were covered with blood, and even his shoes fell off, but he still ignored it, and after it was difficult to walk, he moved a little on the ground and crawled.
Pu Tiange finally couldn't stand it anymore, he grabbed the little boy's bare feet, trying to make the little boy unable to move forward, but unfortunately the little boy struggled desperately, shouting in his mouth.
"What are you doing, let me go!" the little boy yelled, turning his head.
"If you continue like this, you'll die. As he spoke, Pu Tiange lowered his leg bone, grabbed the little boy's other foot naked, and then lifted it up and carried it on his shoulder: "Maybe I can't persuade you not to do this, so I don't plan to persuade you, this is the easiest and most effective way." ā
Although the little boy struggled desperately on Pu Tiange's shoulder, and even kicked Pu Tiange a few times, but since the little boy was not wearing shoes, it didn't hurt so much to kick it. After all, he is only a little boy about five or six years old, and no matter how much he struggles, he can't escape the palm of the universal singer.
"Stop, let me go! you are disobeying the will of the saint!" the little boy shouted, punching and kicking, very weak: "It's blasphemy!"
Putian Ge didn't care what a saint was or not, he put one hand around the little boy's waist, and with the other hand, he picked up the leg bone beside him and put it on the ground: "How long have you people been up the mountain? Tell me, let you down." ā
When the little boy heard this, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and responded: "We just went up the mountain yesterday, and I have already said it, you let me go!"
"That's good. Putiange nodded, then turned around and walked down the hill with the little boy on his shoulder, while the others still ignored the scene, as if they hadn't seen it.
Since these people only went up the mountain yesterday, it should not be far from the foot of the mountain, so in order to save the little boy's life, the wisest choice is to take him down the mountain, and then think about it in the long run.
The little boy is only five or six years old, so he is light and fluttering, and it is not heavy, so even if Pu Tiange is covered in injuries and in a very poor state, he can easily carry the little boy to walk.
"Didn't you say you were going to let me go?" the little boy shouted, but showed no sign of anger, and was only accusing Putiange.
Pu Tiange couldn't help but shake his head, although this little boy seemed to have a stability that did not match his age, he was still as innocent as a child, and it was difficult to distinguish the true from the false in this world.
"I'm doing this for your own good, so you can be quiet. Although Pu Tiange said this, he didn't expect the little boy to really be able to not struggle or resist.
But what Pu Tiange didn't expect was that the little boy really quieted down and stopped moving indiscriminately, which saved him some effort.
"You are blaspheming the saints, and the saints will punish them. The little boy seemed to realize that there was no point in resisting, and could only murmur.
Pu Tiange ignored him, and after walking for a while, he stopped to rest, and by the way found some more plants to satisfy his hunger, and he also planned to let the little boy eat some too, but he did not eat it.
Putiange then asked the boy what the people who went up the mountain ate and the answer he received was very surprising, that the people who went up the mountain would not eat anything to satisfy their hunger, and perhaps they would drink some water when they found a water source, and most of the time they were constantly on the road, following the will of the saint to the top.
