Volume 4 Chapter 35 Hengduan Mountains
Mingxin nodded at Duan Fei, obviously approving of the choice Duan Fei had made.
"Master Duan, if you choose the sea route, there is a big believer in our temple, and the scale of business at sea is very large, and there are sea ships that can be taken at any time. However, since Master Duan chose to take the land route, then the poor monk could only be sent to the Hengduan Mountain Range. ”
"The Hengduan Mountain Range covers an extremely wide area, it is completely a wild land, the deeper you go into it, the more dangerous it is, Master Duan also please try to go around the periphery, although it takes a little longer, but it is much safer. ”
Duan Fei nodded and said, "Thank you for the mention, there is a beast valley in the depths of the Hengduan Mountain Range, I naturally know this, if I encounter a group of demon beasts like the one just now and launch a charge, I can only escape in the wilderness." ”
Mingxin knew that Duan Fei had his own opinions, so he didn't persuade much at the moment, but bowed to Duan Fei Heshi.
"Master Duan, please take this token well, on behalf of the identity of the guest house of my temple, if you meet the monks of my Nanda Temple outside, as long as you show this token, you can get any help within your ability. ”
Mingxin said as he handed Duan Fei a wooden carved Buddha statue about the size of his thumb.
This Buddha statue looks extremely old, not only a large area of carving, even the broken place has at least seven or eight places, and the carved image is not very good, it is completely a thin monk with broken clothes and shoes, just like a beggar.
However, considering that the image of the Arhat Buddha is very similar to such a wooden carved Buddha statue, it is appropriate to use it as a token of Nanda Temple.
Only the laymen who are recognized by the inner temple of Nanda Temple can get this token, which shows that Duan Fei's status is still quite valued in the minds of the monks of Nanda Temple.
As for the identity of the disciples of the Duan Feitian Demon Sect, it is obviously not in the eyes of the monks of Nantuo Temple, they believe in the concept of equality of all beings, as long as they are related to my Buddha, what does it matter if they are disciples of the Demon Sect?
Duan Fei was not polite, and after reaching out to take the wood carved Buddha statue, he sandwiched it in the palm of his hand and returned the salute to Mingxin.
"Master Mingxin, don't leave it today, he will see you again in the future. ”
Before the words were all spoken, Duan Fei turned into a long rainbow and flew away along the Hengduan Mountain Range.
After Mingxin and Mingxing saw Duan Fei disappear, they glanced at each other and bowed together.
"Hell is not empty, swear not to die Buddha!"
"Hell is not empty, swear not to die Buddha!"
After singing the verses of the clear mind and the clear nature, they can be regarded as partners with each other, and if there are no accidents in the future, they will join forces to take over the position of Arhat Buddha and Dharma Protector Garan, so as to ensure that the lineage of Nanda Temple can continue.
Looking back at Duan Fei, he flew along the Hengduan Mountain Range, and it didn't take long for him to reach thousands of miles away.
But even if it flies so far, the Hengduan Mountain Range is still towering and covers the sky, and it has always been such a domineering appearance that closes the heavens and the earth.
Duan Fei had read the "Chronicles of All Things", of course he knew what was going on in the Hengduan Mountains, and when it came to geographical knowledge, I am afraid he was much more familiar with it than Mingxin, the "landlord".
The Hengduan Mountains are a moat across the two states of Manman and Yue, with a length of nearly 20,000 li, showing a trend of high in the middle and low at the end.
The more than 10,000 miles of mountain ranges in the middle are all at a height that covers the sky and the earth, and it can be said that they are born in a desperate situation, and there is no path to enter and exit except for the exit of the Beast Valley.
The mountains at the east and west ends will gradually go down, although most of them are still towering in the clouds, but they are not insurmountable, they are still a desperate situation for mortals, but in the eyes of cultivators, they can already pass through.
The mountains are followed by endless mountains, which are claimed to be as many as 100,000 mountains, and unless you are flying in the air, if you want to keep walking through them, you really don't know how many years and months you will go.
In the interior of the Hengduan Mountain Range, not only the terrain is dangerous, but also all kinds of monsters are rampant, which will also bring great risks.
Although the vast majority of demon beasts are concentrated in the Beast Valley, among some demon beasts who don't like to be gregarious by nature, there are also extremely powerful special species, and a bad luck encounter in the Hengduan Mountain Range is definitely a big trouble.
Under normal circumstances, at least a strong person in the Spirit Gathering Realm must be qualified to enter the Hengduan Mountain Range alone, but whether he can survive in the end still depends on luck, after all, even if it is the power of the Soul Cultivation Realm, there are also people who fall in the Hengduan Mountain Range.
It can be said that the Hengduan Mountains have always been regarded as a place of trial for high-level cultivators, but it is precisely because of the obstruction of the Hengduan Mountains that the Barbarian Prefecture lacks the opportunity to communicate with the other eight states, and has always been regarded as the most undeveloped wild place in the Kyushu world.
Manzhou has a vast area, second only to Zhongzhou in terms of area, it can be said that it is the second in Kyushu, but the degree of development is not high, and the population is the least in Kyushu, although it has never been accurately counted, but it is estimated that there are more than 100 million people at most.
In other words, the power of the Manchu Prefecture is at most about the same as the population under the jurisdiction of a large sect like the Heavenly Demon Sect.
However, don't underestimate the Barbarian Prefecture because of the small population of the Barbarian Prefecture, but all the cultivators who come from here, most of their cultivation techniques are open and closed, although they are lacking in fineness, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and because the living environment is more difficult, only through frequent battles can they get more resources, which makes almost all the cultivators in the Barbarian Prefecture are actually combat factions.
Compared with the cultivators of the same realm, at least about ninety percent, it will be the cultivators of the Barbarian Prefecture who are slightly better in terms of combat effectiveness, which is also the reason why the Barbarian Prefecture has neither a big force nor a large population, but it can still be recognized by the other eight states.
In addition, there is another point, that is, Manzhou is affected by the geographical environment, and the resources produced here are different from those of other eight states, and many resources with special roles belong to Manzhou specialties, which makes Manzhou only rely on selling natural resources to occupy a place in the Kyushu world.
Due to the obstruction of the Hengduan Mountains, land transportation is less than one-tenth of the entire transportation volume of Manzhou, and the remaining more than ninety percent of transportation needs to be transported by sea.
Crossing the South China Sea from Manzhou can enter Yuezhou, and crossing the East China Sea can enter Haizhou, which are the two sea routes in and out of Manzhou.
Due to the expansive East China Sea, most of the sea areas of Manzhou are included in the East China Sea, and there are more safe routes developed, whether it is transportation cost or risk, it is much smaller than crossing the South China Sea, which makes the East China Sea route occupy more than seventy percent of Manzhou's maritime transportation, and is called the golden waterway of Manzhou.
This time, Duan Fei's plan was to go to Haizhou through the golden waterway.
