Volume 1 Chapter 37 There is a mountain path

The next day, Xu Yan woke up from the stone house, and his body was much better today, at least there was no major problem in getting out of bed.

He already knew the outcome of the thrush, but he couldn't confide in anyone here, and the sadness in his heart could only grieve alone in the dead of night, and this was the price of lurking.

Nanyan said yesterday that when the sect leader returns in a few days, he will start an equal trial.

The general process of this equal trial is that there will be some people in the Equality Church who have been recognized by the head of the church and are so-called highly respected.

They will learn more about the cause and effect of what is to be judged, and then the Master will summon the Sacred Tree of Justice, which is the foundation of this world and bears witness to all things in the world.

In the presence of the Sacred Tree, representatives of three highly respected people will ask questions and there will be no lies on the scene under the care of the Sacred Tree. The group of all the people of high moral standing then judge the questions answered by the person being judged to determine whether he is guilty or not.

This is called an equal trial!

However, when Xu Yan and Han Xuejun were in Jiangzhou City, they also discussed this matter in detail. At that time, Han Xuejun's attitude towards equal trial sneered, and then said to Xu Yan: "You told me about equal trial, is it used to show off?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Yan knew that there was a secret in it, but because of memory, Xu Yan didn't dare to continue to ask. However, judging only by Han Xuejun's reaction, she believes that the so-called equal trial does not pose any threat to Xu Yan at all.

And Han Xuejun said at the time that after the equal trial, he hoped that Xu Yan would go to a specific mountain market, where someone was waiting for Xu Yan, since this was the case, then go through the equal trial first!

So, Xu Yan decided to take a walk in the Equality Church today, at least to understand the living habits and style of the people here, at least to be prepared.

But for Xu Yan now, this place is completely unfamiliar, so the guide is the most important!

This is not! The Chosen Guide immediately appeared!

Xu Yan looked at this small dot that only reached the base of his thigh, and smiled knowingly.

Today's Xia Xia was wearing a white floral pony coat with two small pigtails facing the sky, probably because she had just run, so her little face was a little flushed.

"Venerable! Xia Xia is ready! His Holiness promised to take me for a walk today! Xia Xia really said.

Xu Yan touched Xia Xia's head and thought that you were actually my guide.

The two held hands and walked out of the stone house together.

It is the collective name of this mountain range, because the founder of the Holy Crown Temple, the first Pope Li Ao, suddenly realized the Tao when he walked in this mountain range, and was successfully selected by the holy tree as a human preacher, so this place will be so named.

This mountain range of Xingdao Mountain is stacked with mountains and mountains, undulating, some peaks break through the clouds to reach the sky, and some valley bottoms go straight to the center of the earth. Among them, there are countless cave tunnels in the belly of the mountains, coupled with the lush forests between the mountains, making the overall terrain very complex.

Ten years ago, the Church of Equality had abruptly moved its stronghold here, a move that disrupted the original layout of the Temple of the Holy Crown. In the complex mountainous terrain here, the Equality Church took the opportunity to develop in a big way. The Holy Crown Temple was a little helpless, so in this plan, Xu Yan's secret sneaked in.

Under the leadership of Xia Xia, Xu Yan passed through one cave and mountain peak after another, and saw a variety of whimsical buildings mixed and matched.

In some cases, half of the mountain peaks were hollowed out from top to bottom, as if digging wells, so as to create a special built-in observation deck.

In some cases, between the peaks of the mountain, a window facing the ground is dug up on the higher peak, which seems to be very dangerous, but if you slide down one of the vines of this window, you can reach another mountain without a smooth ride.

All in all, all kinds of novel collocations and combinations have allowed Xu Yan to have a new experience while feasting his eyes.

Xu Yan and Xia Xia walked on a flat boulder, which is a bridge connecting the two mountain peaks. The surface of the boulder is extremely flat, and there is a faint hint of coercion.

Xia Xia said that this is the sect leader Ning Hua, who vertically chopped down an eye-catching mountain, took a whole cross-section of the mountain, and erected it here, so there is such a magnificent and smooth bridge in front of him.

At the end of this megalithic bridge is a cave, a hollowed-out mountain to be exact.

After Xu Yan walked in, he found that it was not only hollowed out, but even in the mountain wall, it was arranged layer by layer, and many embedded open spaces were dug out. Some of these open spaces are shops, some are houses, and there are carved stone steps between each mountain wall!

Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking at the fireworks on the mountain wall, I feel like I am looking at a mural, but this mural is alive!

Under the leadership of Xia Xia, the two walked up the stone steps and came to a clearing on the mountain wall.

Xu Yan looked up and saw a wooden room in front of him, there was a stove on the left side of the house, water vapor was constantly coming out, and a board was placed in front of the stove, on which there were finished dumplings and various fillings.

In the large open space in front of the house, four or five groups of tables and chairs were placed in a staggered manner, and two tables were full of people.

The shopkeeper is an elderly man with gray hair and slowly wrinkled skin on his face, but he looks kind.

The uncle saw the two of them and warmly beckoned them to sit down.

"Your Holiness, you are here! Long time no see! The uncle wiped the table and chairs with a cloth and said without seeing anything outside.

It seems that Xu Hanguang knows each other, so he can talk more and make more mistakes, and communicate as little as possible.

Xu Yan nodded at the uncle, and pulled Xia Xia to sit on the nearest seat beside him.

The uncle put the cloth on his shoulder, walked slowly to Xu Yan's side, and then asked:

"What would you like to eat today?"

Xu Yan didn't respond directly, but looked at Xia Xia.

Xia Xia mistakenly thought that Xu Yan was asking her opinion, and said happily:

"I want to try it today, His Holiness used to eat it a lot! Is leek egg stuffing good? ”

Xu Yan nodded, then turned his head to the uncle and said:

"Just look for her!"

After hearing this, the old man said kindly to Xia Xia:

"Little girl, you don't eat your favorite corn and pork today! Today's corn is fresh, especially glutinous! I bought it from the mountain yesterday! ”

Xu Yan smiled slightly, for children, there will be no choice at all.

Sure enough! Xia Xia only thought for a breath, and immediately responded:

"Can you all come some? Grandpa, I know you're the best! ”

After that, the eccentric Xia Xia deliberately pursed his lips, made a pitiful expression, and then kept shaking the uncle's sleeve.

This uncle must be unable to resist the little girl's coquettishness, and said with a smile:

"Okay! Good! Mix up a portion for you! Hahahaha! After saying a brief gesture to Xu Yan, the uncle walked to the stove.

While waiting for the dumplings, the chatter of the diners at the left and right tables attracted Xu Yan's attention.

The diner at the table on the left said:

"We're all brothers! I suggest that you hurry down the mountain in the past two days and stock up on more rice, flour, grain and oil, recently! The mountain may be closed! A deep voice said.

"Brother Ren, can you tell me more details?"

"I have a friend! He served in the guard of the sect, and according to him, within a month, the Holy Land of Enlightenment could reopen! To avoid outsiders breaking in! So the mountain will be closed for a while! The deep voice continued.

"Brother Ren, what is this Holy Land of Enlightenment?"

"You're still the one we teach equally! This holy place of enlightenment is the mountain where Li Ao was guided by the holy tree back then, and it is said that in this world, that mountain peak is the closest place to the real holy tree! ”

"Brother Ren, you lied to me! Isn't this sacred tree in the city of looking at heaven? ”

"You amount of knowledge! Go back and read more books, the books in our church can be read for free, according to the book, the holy tree in Wangtian City is just a figurative image! To be precise, it is the only giant tree that has ever been certified by a sacred tree! The true sacred tree is the rule that pervades the heavens and the earth, and is the foundation of the world. That deep voice seemed to be a little helpless to his friend who didn't learn anything.

"Brother Ren, the younger brother has been taught!"

"Why are you so polite! You see! Isn't it my explanation that makes you understand the world better! The deep voice was a little smug.

"Brother Ren, although I didn't understand what you said, I'll go down the mountain to buy food after I finish eating dumplings later!"

The sound of a few chopsticks falling on the table.

Xu Yan laughed secretly in his heart, he didn't understand, but he couldn't do without! This kind of mentality is also a big success that doesn't know how to pretend to understand!

Holy Land of Enlightenment!

Xu Yan was at the home of Thrush in Jiangzhou City, and he found a book, which was recorded. It is said that this holy land, after Li Ao became enlightened, disappeared into this world, and only appeared once every twenty years. In this holy land, if you are lucky enough, you can come into contact with the purest rules of this world.

Contacting the rules means being reborn, and the limit of one's own talent will get a qualitative leap, so for so many years, many people have been looking for this holy land, hoping to change their lives against the sky through enlightenment!

On the stone steps, another group of people came one after another, and they sat down at the empty table near Xu Yan.

The old man was cooking dumplings on the stove at the moment, and when he saw the guests taking their seats, he immediately called softly to the wooden house.

An old woman in old clothes walked out of the wooden house, the old woman greeted the new guests, and when she passed by Xu Yan's side, she silently nodded to Xu Yan.

However, Xu Yan found that the corners of the old woman's eyes were red, and she felt that something unsatisfactory was going on. And when she passed by Xu Yan, she had a feeling of wanting to speak and stopping.

At this moment, the old woman's overall state is a little unwilling, and she seems to be waiting for Xu Yan's help.

And Xu Yan...

...
