Chapter 216: Up the Mountain

Tossed left and right, and was chased and killed by Fahai all the way, and finally had to go to Lingshan. Daoran felt that he had done useless work, but he was helpless.

It's just that his fists are not hard enough, and any thing like Big Freedom can take him down.

"One day, I will climb to the top step by step......" Daoran muttered half a sentence in his heart, and then stopped.

Cultivators are most taboo to say casually, it is easy to become a proverb, and the second half of this sentence is unlucky, so don't say it.

Since he had already decided to go to Lingshan, Dao Ran didn't delay the time, and casually packed up some things and set off for Lingshan.

Dao Ran originally thought that going to Lingshan was Fahai who took him through the mountains and mountains to the Lingshan Resort, and walked into this Western Elysium.

However, things are not as simple as Dao Ran imagined.

Fahai took Dao Ran all the way to fly high, Dao Ran didn't know how far he flew, but the scenery under his feet had changed, and the pedestrians on the road had changed several different skin colors and clothes.

Obviously, Dao Ran had already left the Central Plains, left the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom, passed through countless unknown countries, and finally settled in an ordinary-looking town.

Fahai said to Daoran: "To the west of this town, there is a big mountain, and that is Lingshan, and you can walk the rest of the road by yourself." ”

Dao Ran asked, "Master, Lingshan is in the mortal world?" ”

"Yes, Elysium is not far away, but there are too few people who can go up the mountain." Fahai left this rather Zen sentence, and then left without looking back.

Dao Ran watched Fahai leave, and glanced at the town again, this posture made it clear that Shangling Mountain still had to go through a test. This town looks ordinary, and the people who come and go at the gate of the city seem to be mortals, but Dao Ran estimates that there are a lot of Bodhisattvas and Arhats mixed in it.

Maybe even a will have to play with you, and the most annoying thing about Dao Ran is to play the edge, in terms of not speaking human words, Buddhism has always been the best among the leaders.

"Master, can you open the back door a little wider next time?" Daoran sighed, and then strode forward with the basket on his back.

The city gate was unguarded, and there was no need to report the way or anything, so he entered the city gate without hindrance.

The town is not big, but it is very prosperous, and the pedestrians on the road are all peaceful and happy. There are no beggars on either side, and even those with vegetables are rare.

"It's worthy of the foot of Lingshan, a good place." Dao Ran said with emotion.

In this day and age, a town where everyone can eat is definitely a paradise on earth.

The residents of the town seem to be dedicated to the Buddha, and when they see Dao Ran, a monk and passer-by, they will smile in return. When passing by a steamed bun shop, the chubby boss politely asked if Daoran needed to turn into a relationship.

Daoran was not polite, and asked for two white breads to eat.

Although the filling is vegetarian, the sauerkraut is quite good and tastes good.

The boss who sells steamed buns is very kind and polite, but he is also very silent, and after giving Daoran the steamed buns, he is busy with his own business, and he doesn't seem to have the intention of talking to Daoran, let alone playing with him.

Dao Ran took a closer look and found that this was not a means to get away with it, this fat boss really just invited Dao Ran to eat two buns, and had no other ideas.

Daoran politely thanked him, and then walked towards the west.

It didn't take much time to walk through the town, and along the way, Daoran reaffirmed that it was a good place to be ordinary but rich. The townspeople were kind people, but they didn't follow the precepts of Buddhism.

Daoran walked all the way and saw many taverns and restaurants, and even butcher shops.

In other words, this place does not prohibit meat and alcohol.

Dao Ran was also very surprised that the foot of Lingshan was like this, and he tried to turn two glasses of wine to people, but he was looked at by the shopkeeper with strange eyes.

"The master monks also drink alcohol? Don't tarnish your identity as a monk. "The second little guy in this shop is full of disgust, and the three views are quite positive.

Dao Ran apologized to the shopkeeper with three views, and the other party didn't have to pay attention to him, poured a bowl of tea for Dao Ran, and then went about his own business.

Everything is incredibly normal.

Dao Ran couldn't figure it out, if it was a test, it would be too simple.

Walking to a corner, Daoran knocked on the bamboo basket behind him and asked, "Ramanu, do you know what is going on in this town?" ”

When Daoran left, he didn't take much with him, except for two sets of changing monk's robes, and only took Ramani with him.

This prince of Mohurakya, who ranked three million, did not seem to have any intention of going home, and followed Dao Ran with a dead face from the moment he was summoned.

Although Ramani only has the combat power of a half-dog, he is well-informed, and Dao Ran feels that he should be able to give him some advice.

Ramani poked his head out of the basket, looked around, and said, "What's the matter?" Isn't everything normal? It's all mortals, it's the closest place to Elysium, what's so strange about living comfortably? ”

"So, the difficulty of going up Ling Mountain is on the way up the mountain?" Daoran asked.

"Then I don't know, I haven't been to Lingshan. But if it was simple, how could these mortals stay in the town, they would definitely climb the Spirit Mountain to seek immortality. Ramaniu said.

"Doesn't the Heavenly Dragon Babu live on the Spirit Mountain?" Daoran asked.

"The Spiritual Mountain is just a part of the Elysian World, and the Elysian World is just one of the corners of the Buddha's kingdom in the hands of the Buddha, and the place where our Mahuraka clan lives is far away from the Spiritual Mountain." Ramanou explained.

When Dao Ran heard the four words of Buddha in his palm, he was suddenly awe-struck in his heart.

What he is about to face is the Buddha, no matter how many saints there are above the Buddha, he is definitely the real power of the side, and Dao Ran needs to awaken 120,000 points of spirit to deal with it.

Daoran continued on the road, and his pace was much faster.

Since he couldn't ask for any useful information, Dao Ran simply didn't want to do so much, so he hurried up the mountain as soon as possible.

All the way to the west of the town, a high mountain stopped in front of Dao Ran.

"This is Lingshan?"

Dao Ran looked at it as far as the eye could see, but the road up the mountain was clearly visible, and it was a stone staircase that winded upward. The staircase is wide and lined with wooden guardrails, which is a bit steep but shouldn't be difficult to walk.

Dao Ran was about to take a step, when he suddenly heard someone behind him: "This junior brother, please stay." ”

Dao Ran turned his head and saw a dark-skinned, but very handsome monk beckoning to him.

Dao Ran has seen a lot of handsome monks, the one in Lanruo Temple who doesn't know who and Shenxiu can be regarded as beautiful men, and Shenxiu is even more temperamental because of the profundity of Buddhism. But the black-faced monk in front of him is better looking than Shenxiu, and Dao Ran wonders if this monk has also added a lot of points to his charm.

However, this monk is obviously not from the Central Plains, but a very handsome foreign monk. It was the first time for Dao Ran to see a foreign monk, so he couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Amitabha, what is the matter with my senior brother?" ”

The black handsome monk folded his hands and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is from the Tianzhu Maha Bodhi Temple, the Dharma name is Guan Xingyue, please teach the younger brother's Dharma name." The black-faced monk said with a smile.

His smile is very relatable and easy to impress.

When the word Tianzhu was spoken, Guan Xingyue's smile was even brighter, he seemed to be very proud of his origin, but this pride was not domineering, it was more like proudly telling others that "my Yunnan mushrooms are delicious".

Dao Ran said: "The little monk Dharma is called Dao Ran, from the Great Zhou Jinshan Temple. ”

"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, I think my junior brother is like a Han from the Great Zhou. Senior Brother Daoran, are you also preparing to go to Lingshan? Guan Xingyue asked.

Guan Xingyue's Da Zhou said very well, and if you don't look at your face, you will never know that he is a foreigner.

"Senior brother is the same?"

"Yes, it's not just me, it's something else. We are all people who go up to the mountain to seek Buddha, and we don't know what the difficulties and dangers of this trip are, so we are ready to walk together, and we have a care for each other. Guan Xingyue asked.

"Can you go to Lingshan to ask for Buddha to help?" Daoran asked.

"Back then, the Buddha of Zhantan Merit was also a master and apprentice, and the four of them supported each other from going through eighty-one difficulties, I guess it should be fine. Of course, if my junior brother has any scruples, I will never be strong. Guan Xingyue said sincerely.

As an expert in lying, Dao Ran didn't even see the slightest flaw, this foreign monk seemed to be telling the truth, just a simple suggestion.

Dao Ran thought for a moment, and then agreed: "What Senior Brother said is reasonable, since this is the case, I will also join." ”

When Guan Xingyue heard this, he enthusiastically took Dao Ran to join the others.

The number of people in this small group was small, and there were only nine people in Daoran, and to Daoran's surprise, even if Daoran was counted, there were only three monks. The remaining six were all residents of the town, and their professions were varied, including woodcutters, hunters, butchers, scholars, and even a strangely dressed mage.

This person is dressed in a gorgeous robe, and he knows that he is not from the Central Plains by looking at the pattern and shape, which is a bit like the painting style of the ancient Egyptians. The man's entire face was tightly wrapped in a clothcloth, revealing only a pair of eyes, and he didn't know that he thought it was a mummy who had put on his clothes and walked out.

Dao Ran quietly sensed that four of the nine people were cultivators, and in addition to the three monks, the mummy mage also had mana in the gods.

Guan Xingyue introduced Dao Ran's name and origin to everyone, and Dao Ran also knew how to greet everyone one by one.

"It's not early today, nine is the extreme, the poor monk thinks that nine people are enough, why don't you start going up the mountain, what do you think?" Guan Xingyue asked these words in several languages.

Another monk with the Dharma name Sha Lishu hurriedly echoed and said, "What His Highness said is reasonable, let's set off now." ”

"Your Highness?" Dao Ran sounded a little surprised.

Sha Lishu hurriedly explained: "Senior Brother Guan Xingyue is the prince of our Tianzhu, who has been influenced by Buddhism since he was a child, and knows all kinds of scriptures and meanings in his chest, and is known as a loving monk. ”

Sha Lishu's proud expression was a little uncomfortable, as if he didn't know Guan Xingyue and had little knowledge.

"Love monk? This name seems to be contrary to the precepts of Buddhism. Daoran asked curiously.

"Senior brother doesn't know that our practice method is a little different from that of the Central Plains, and it is not strictly forbidden to marry." Guan Xingyue explained.

Dao Ran heard this, and couldn't help but say, "When you wait for Lingshan, you must find Senior Brother to confirm the Dharma!" ”

Guan Xingyue said with a smile: "Accept your noble words." ”

The others did not object to the observation of the moon, and the nine of them went up the mountain together.

This spiritual mountain is very high and steep, but the stone steps are wide and flat, and there are guardrails on both sides, so it does not look difficult to walk. Especially for cultivators, it is not a problem to take tens of thousands of stairs.

But everyone's confidence was lost when they stepped up the first staircase.

"My mana has been sealed." Guan Xingyue said in surprise.

Dao Ran was the same, the moment he stepped on the stone steps, all of his mana was blocked, turning him from a cultivator to a mortal. No, he is not a complete mortal, Dao Ran can feel that the attributes that the system has added to him are still there, but some attributes have been affected.

For example, talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will not be affected, but the attribute of holding a spell will lose its meaning, because he can't condense his mana at all to cast the Heavenly Dragon Babu Talisman Charm.

However, to Daoran's rejoice, the attribute that King Kong is not bad is still there, this attribute has nothing to do with mana, it directly acts on every inch of his flesh and bones, even when he is asleep, his body is still indestructible.

In the same way, as long as you don't need mana to exert your effects, the attributes are still there.

This made Dao Ran breathe a sigh of relief, relying on his physique alone, it was not difficult to climb the stairs, and it was a big deal to rest a few more times halfway.

The few remaining mortals didn't feel anything, they didn't have mana in the first place, and they could go as they wanted, but Guanxingyue, Shali Tree, and the mummy mage named Moses were very uncomfortable.

Changing from a cultivator to a mortal is simply unacceptable to ordinary people.

Guan Xingyue was the first to adapt to it, and said to everyone: "It seems that this Shangling Mountain is really not so simple. ”

And this was fulfilled again after walking up the 500 stairs.

The road up the mountain looked easy to walk, but as soon as I reached the 500th step, the weather changed. The north wind howled, and the wind and snow blocked the way, blowing everyone to stagger.

"That's too deliberate, isn't it?" Daoran thought to himself.

Shangling Mountain has to bear the test, this everyone is mentally prepared, but at the beginning, it simply and rudely locked everyone's mana, reduced the cultivator to mortal, and then directly used the bad weather, this test is not worthy of the forced qualification of this Western Elysium.

But Buddhism seems to be so simple and rude, the more you go up, the bigger the wind and snow, if it weren't for the fact that the effect of Daoran Vajra is still there, it will definitely not be able to last.

The others were even worse than Dao Ran, and after holding on for a moment in this heavy snowstorm, his limbs were stiff, his face was blue, and it was obvious that he was suffering from severe hypothermia, and he looked not far from death.

Daoran can hold on, but Ramano can't.

He was originally a cold-blooded creature, and his mana was so thin that it was almost none, and when he froze in this wind and snow, his body was already hard. If you don't find a way to keep him warm, he'll freeze to death here.

Will the test of Lingshan kill?

If you freeze to death here, will you open your eyes and return to the foot of the mountain, but you will lose the qualification to go up the mountain? Or when you open your eyes, you see the terrible eighteen layers of hell, and then you are kicked into it by the hideous ghost next to you?

It seems that the Buddhas' view of life and death is different from that of mortals, and they may really see death and not be saved.

Daoran didn't know which one it would be, but he didn't dare to bet on it. In other words, he can gamble with his own life, but not with his friend's life.

Daoran put Ramano into the monk's robe, temporarily used his body temperature to save his breath, and then ran wildly in this blizzard, knocking out a passage in the goose feather snow. At this time, Dao Ran couldn't care about hiding his strength, and he had to get out of this cold blizzard before Ramano froze to death.

The other Buddha seekers were shocked when they saw this scene, who would have thought that this little monk could run so fast?

Dao Ran rushed all the way up hundreds of steps, and finally saw a ruined temple around the corner.
