Chapter 201: The Newborn Plateau
The golden nine-headed lion hurried with all his might, and it didn't take long to see three waddling ascetics.
His expression also became strange.
The three ascetics in front of him were ragged and looked rather embarrassed, and their feet were stepping on tattered straw sandals, and their flesh and blood were a little blurry, sticking to the straw sandals.
If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that you will not be able to walk anymore.
However, the three ascetics looked resolute, and even if they faltered, they still took one step at a time.
Su Mu was a little puzzled, where were they going?
Why did you choose this route?
What is the significance of dervishes?
"If you don't have a cultivator, you dare to walk in the mountains, and take such a path, isn't this looking for death?"
Su Mu muttered softly.
If you encounter a fierce beast and have no means to save yourself, won't it become their flesh and blood rations?
One step out of the golden nine-headed lion came to the vicinity of the dervishe.
"Donor, what you see is fate, may you have a healthy life."
When the three ascetics saw Su Mu in front of them, they performed a Buddhist ritual one after another, and they were able to meet their fellow clans in such a deep mountain and old forest, and they were faintly happy in their hearts, with smiles on their faces.
They seem to be smiling all the time.
Can...... Isn't it an ascetic?
"You dare to come to this deep mountain wasteland without any cultivation, and you are not afraid of being devoured by fierce beasts?"
Su Mu frowned.
I don't know what to say, are they stupid?
"I'm afraid, I'm not afraid."
The young man in the lead said with a smile, his face very pale.
It's like I've lost too much blood.
"How?"
Su Mu frowned, puzzled.
"Huh...... This is the tempering that this Buddha has descended on, and if we can get out of the mountains alive and go all the way to the nascent plateau, he will perform miracles and relieve all the suffering in the world. ”
"For this, we are not afraid of anything."
The young dervishew spoke.
Everyone is afraid of death, but some things are more important than death.
"You can't do it."
Su Mu is colorful.
"It's just impossible, we have to do it."
The young man said.
"What's the point of doing the impossible?"
Su Mu was puzzled.
Isn't this a self-defeating act? In his opinion, there is no point at all.
"That's the point."
The young man's expression remained the same, and the firmness of his faith was touching.
Someone has to do the impossible thing, but what if someone does it?
Even if it's not them, being able to be a paving person on this road is the meaning in their hearts.
"Donor, the total amount of suffering in the world is certain, and the meaning of our existence is for the sake of sentient beings. The more suffering we share, the less suffering sentient beings will suffer. ”
An old dervish spoke.
Su Mu was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
"You ...... Take care. ”
Not knowing what to say, he was a little silent.
"If we can really walk to the nascent plateau, the Buddha will come to the world, and there will be no suffering between heaven and earth."
"Donor, don't leave it at that."
The young dervish spoke again.
Su Mu didn't know why they believed in the existence of the Buddha, even in the years when the immortal realm existed, there was still suffering.
This cannot be eradicated.
Watching the three ascetics drift away, Su Mu's heart was still churning, and the shock was hard to get rid of.
Is the purpose of their existence to share some more suffering for sentient beings?
It seems noble, but it's silly......
However, I have to admit that they are pure and have faith.
Su Mu seemed to understand something, but he also felt that he was missing something.
Compared to them, he is much more selfish, but he is also much more normal, he will help some people within the scope of his ability, and will not give everything to help some people.
Very few people can do that.
Watching them gradually move away, Su Mu returned to the backs of the nine golden lions, he would not do anything for them, nor would he go out of his way to protect them and escort them to the nascent plateau.
He also believed that if the three ascetics knew that they were doing this, they would be in pain and the faith they had held all their lives would be shattered.
This is the way they have chosen, and they will defend it with their lives.
"Let's go."
Su Mu said lightly.
He's going to digest what happened today.
Faintly, it also brought some changes to his state of mind.
The golden nine-headed lion bowed slightly, and it was dozens of meters away when he stepped out, and in an instant it was beyond the path that the three ascetics walked out, which was still slowing down, if he was moving forward at full speed, it was a trivial matter to step out of hundreds of meters in one step.
Su Mu didn't look back, just took out the ancient book and looked at it silently.
The nascent plateau is very far away, and if you walk, the three ascetics will not be able to reach it in their lifetime.
This is only one of the factors that are impossible.
The snow fluttered down, and everywhere you could see was snow white, covered in silver, and frozen for thousands of miles.
Since seeing the three ascetics, Su Mu and the others have not seen anyone again, but just blindly moving forward.
However, it is also a pleasure to have beautiful scenery and a thousand mountains to accompany you.
Half a year passed quietly.
Strange things happened along the way, and he also met some Tianjiao children, but Su Mu didn't care at all, in the past half a year, he never said a word, and the whole person seemed to have some vicissitudes, either reading ancient books, or staring at the sky in a daze.
There was no progress in cultivation, and the comprehension of the Dao Law was no longer refined, and the whole person changed, like an old antique.
Old Baihu and the others all felt that Su Mu was a little decadent, and sometimes they thought about persuading him, but they didn't know where to speak.
Newborn plateau.
This place is extremely full of life, as far as the eye can see, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the falling flowers are colorful, a scene of paradise.
Since Su Mu didn't speak again, the speed of the Golden Nine Lions has also been much faster, and it was originally a journey of nearly a year, but now it has arrived in just over half a year.
"It's finally here."
The golden nine-headed lion breathed a sigh of relief, this journey was somewhat torturous, he was already a talker, as soon as Su Mu ignored him, he was bored and tight, and there was nothing else to do except hurry.
Occasionally stopping to rest, he is also devoted to the path of cultivation.
The strength has improved slightly, but what makes him happiest is the improvement of his mood.
But...... This is not the biggest improvement, compared to the growth of mood and strength, one thing is more important.
That is the comprehension of the Tao.
Walking in the mountains and forests of the Great Wilderness with his physical strength, he unconsciously absorbed a lot of things, but he didn't know it.
This is a kind of accumulation, and it can only be reacted when its realm is raised to a certain level.
"Is this the Newborn Plateau?"
Su Mu put down the ancient books, looked into the distance, and after more than half a year, he finally opened his mouth.
The voice was a little hoarse, which was the reason why he hadn't spoken for a long time.
