Chapter 608: The Purpose of the Test
A black tiger suddenly ran in front of him, and Ash was immediately stunned, until the black tiger scurried deep into the woods, and he recovered from the shock.
"Shh......h Thankfully, just passing through. Ash breathed a sigh of relief, if the black tiger attacked him just now, he would be dead.
Fortunately, there is only no danger.
Ash continued to walk forward, he felt that it was very unsafe here, there were white bones everywhere, and the eerie aura wafted in, and it was also a ghost crying wolf, which was terrifying.
"I don't know what time it is, whether the sun has gone down or not. Ash sighed and continued to walk forward weakly.
He didn't know where he was now, and he didn't have a route, he just knew how to go up, but he didn't know where he had gone.
About half an hour later, an open place appeared in front of him, standing on a high place, he must be able to know where he was going, Ash looked happy, and he immediately rushed over.
After coming all the way to this open area, there were no trees around him, and he quickly looked up and found that the sun was not far from setting, and it was very soon.
Ash was shocked, he hurriedly stood on the stone and looked down, it didn't matter what he saw, Ash was directly stunned.
He has walked for such a long time, and now he is still at the foot of the mountain of Foshan, and from here he can still see the place where the Buddha's light shines, and it is only about two kilometers away from here at most.
In other words, he climbed for such a long time, and actually walked a distance of two kilometers!
"This, how is this possible!" Ash's eyes were fixed on it, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously again, making sure that he was not mistaken, he really only walked so little.
"How can this be, am I going wrong all the time? ”
Ash's face was like ashes, he risked his life to come here, and he had only walked such a short distance for such a long time, no wonder many people never went down after coming up, obviously they might have encountered this kind of thing.
"Am I going to fail?"
Ash gradually became a little desperate, he began to tear his hair in self-abandonment, the sun was about to set, he had no time to continue climbing, and his sister was going to die.
"Oh my god you're not fair, I've tried so hard. Ash roared angrily.
His voice echoed across the mountain, and howling winds blew as if mocking his ignorance.
Ash slowly stood up, looking at the valley below, he was desperate, he felt that he should jump from here, his sister wouldn't survive anyway, what was he still alive for.
"Goodbye sister, brother can't do anything, can't save you......" Ash closed his eyes, hot tears flowed out, and he stepped out of his legs, and was about to jump.
Suddenly, a feeling of weightlessness came into his heart, and Ash panicked, and instinctively stepped back, and he fell off the stone and fell heavily on the grass.
"It hurts......," Ash bared his teeth.
Behind him silently, a stone cut his back, bleeding out, and a mouse swooped into the rat hole, and quietly poked its head out to look at him.
Ash showed a smile, he felt that this mouse was a little bit timid, and he said that he was as timid as a mouse, but he didn't expect this guy to be afraid of him.
"The little guy is still doing well, as long as you can eat enough, we human beings will be miserable, and we will have to worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and the pain will also torment us. ”
Ash laughed self-deprecatingly, and after laughing, he stood up, waved his hand at the mouse, and said, "I'm leaving, since I promised someone, don't care if it's too late, I think I should climb to the top of the mountain." ”
Let's talk about my sister's affairs later, as long as there is one last chance, he can't give up, he was stupidly ready to commit suicide before, and now he thinks it's ridiculous to think about it.
In the air, Mu Tian's raised hand was lowered again, just when Ash was about to jump down just now, he wanted to help the other party, but he didn't expect the wind to save the other party.
"Suddenly cheerful character, not to mention the Buddha world, there are not many people in the fairy world who have it. The flower fairy laughed.
Mu Tian smiled slightly, he felt that Xiao Zhi was very good, and he was one step away from being destined for someone.
"Keep watching. The flower fairy said.
The two then continued to observe each other.
Ash continued to walk towards the mountain, he knew that he couldn't catch up, so he wasn't in such a hurry, when he encountered danger, he could dodge it, and if he couldn't dodge, he would lie on his stomach and wait for the danger to pass.
It may have been two or three days since he walked all the way around, because he felt that he was already very hungry, he didn't bring any dry food, and even Ash was thinking about whether he would have the strength to come down when he climbed the mountain.
It seemed that he was about to climb to the top of the mountain, and Xiao Zhi saw that there were already a lot of white bones on the ground, and there were some uncorrupted corpses, all of whom he knew, and they were all high-ranking monks, but he didn't expect them to die here.
He didn't take anything from these people, but when he saw something to eat, he prayed and took it away, lest the spirits of these people haunt him.
After having something to eat, Ash was even less worried, and his heart became calm, and he was still here to find out if there were any medicinal herbs, after all, no one had been to this kind of place for many years, in case there were medicinal herbs to treat his sister's illness.
However, he was destined to be disappointed, because Ash didn't notice anything, and for a long time he walked aimlessly, until he suddenly came back to his senses, and when he looked back, he found that he was almost at the top, only one step away.
"Just came up so unconsciously?"
Ash also felt a little incredible, now he could reach the top as long as he took a step, but he didn't have such a strong desire in his heart.
Looking at the top of the mountain, which was only one step away, Ash fell silent, and suddenly, he showed a smile, raised his foot and stepped on it lightly, and then said, "I've done it, I climbed to the top of the mountain, so I did it, but I won't go up." ”
After saying that, Ash left a mark here, and turned around to go down.
"Brother!" Suddenly my sister's voice sounded behind me.
Ash was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going down, why do you want me to hear hallucinations, it's useless." With that, he continued to walk down the hill, not looking back at all.
"Brother, it's me, where are you going!"
Her sister's anxious voice sounded, and then she ran down the mountain to chase Ash, but she didn't expect her feet to slip and fall to the ground, breaking her arm, and she sat in place and cried in pain.
At this moment, Ash's heart trembled, he slowly turned his head, and saw his embarrassed sister sitting on the ground crying, how familiar this scene was, and the voice.
"Damn, even if it's fake, I admit it, I can't see my sister hurt!"
Xiao Zhi gritted his teeth and finished speaking, turned around and ran back without hesitation, shouting: "Sister, don't be afraid, brother is here!"
When Ash came over, his sister hugged him and kept crying, Ash's heart trembled fiercely, this was obviously an illusion, but why was it so real.
"Brother is bad, you don't want me anymore. ”
My sister cried very sadly, Ash died of sadness, but he touched his sister's hand but it was fleshy, why is this illusion so real?
"Hehe, do you still think you're dreaming?" A chuckle sounded, and Ash slowly raised his head to see Mu Tian and the flower fairy descending from the sky and landing on the top of the mountain.
"You ......" Ash was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself how Mutian flew up, isn't it impossible to fly here.
"It's all true?"
Ash, who had reacted, suddenly asked.
Mu Tian smiled and nodded.
After getting the confirmation, Ash immediately gave himself a slap, if this is all true, then the sister in front of him is also true, and the other party is really injured.
"Sister, I'm sorry, it's all my brother's fault, my brother shouldn't have turned around and left......"
Ash kept apologizing, looking at the bleeding arm and feeling distressed, and hurriedly tore his clothes to bandage the other party.
Mu Tian sighed in his heart, if Xiao Zhi came up just now, maybe he wouldn't have appeared, because which was his last test, but Xiao Zhi was unexpected, after the other party came up, he stepped on it with his foot, and did not go up directly, knowing how to give up the attachment in his heart, even he couldn't do it.
After his sister stopped crying, Xiao Zhi found that his sister didn't have a high fever anymore, he knew that all this was done by Mu Tian, but why, he was very puzzled in his heart.
"Actually, when you went up the mountain, your sister was already cured and brought over by us. Mu Tian smiled.
Hearing this, Ash was shocked, and then asked, "Then if I can't come up, you plan to leave my sister here?"
"How could it be. The flower fairy smiled: "Even if you don't come up, we won't leave your sister here, but your test will fail." ”
"Test?" Ash frowned.
"It's not just a test. Mu Tian said calmly: "I have been testing you since the moment I met you, I am watching you every move you make when you go up the mountain, including when you finally reach the top, if you come up, the test will also fail." ”
Ash nodded, and was receiving: "Anyway, the sun is going down, so what's the difference if I can't go up." ”
"Do you really think that the sun has already set?" Mu Tian chuckled.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhi's eyebrows raised, he subconsciously looked up at the sky, and did not find the sun, but after Mu Tian waved his hand, a dark cloud disappeared, and the evening sun appeared in front of him, and a layer of golden light poured on his face.
"Too ...... Didn't go down the mountain?" Ash was completely stunned, his brain was short-circuited, and he didn't understand what was going on for a while.
