However, Lu Chen remembered that when they first arrived, the fat monk was still in a dreamland. He was not a person who kept the commandments anyway, so eating meat was considered normal.
As for the mottled impurities in this world, it is true that it cannot be eliminated by preaching slogans. The little monk also has his own reasons for what he does. Being a good person is to save all sentient beings.
There are so many temptations in this world, who can guarantee that he will not fall? Lu Chen himself does not dare to say with certainty that he is a good person and can withstand temptations. Surviving in this world is not easy. Wanting to be decent is easier said than done, let alone
Don't talk about being a saint.
Can personal cultivation alone turn the tide?
The answer must be no, but that is not Lu Chen's purpose. He is a loach, even if he is born in rotten mud, he can be like a fish in water. However, his body is never stained with mud. He has his own unique light. He does not seek to shine on the stars, but only hopes to give people
The people around you are more warm.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen thought that the people who exterminated the demons at the foot of the mountain didn't know what the situation was now, whether the dark demon had been eliminated, and how many people this dark demon would harm.
No, the dark demon was originally trapped in the secret realm, but these people want to destroy the secret realm and release the dark demon?
Doesn't this just add to the trouble?
Thinking of this, Lu Chen felt that something was wrong with this matter, and Shi Tao, the overlord of Tianhuo Academy, who had collided with him in the secret realm, as well as Gu Luan, a disciple of the beautiful woman Danqing Temple, and the mercenary were all missing. However, they were unable to find a trace after the secret realm collapsed.
Leaving early means that they attacked the secret land of Daze to attract attention, but the real purpose is to obtain the inheritance here?
That's right, the Maurya King is in charge, and a few dark demons can't figure it out. All of this is planned.
It’s just what did the crazy swordsman leave to future generations, and why did these people grab it at all costs?
Is it just his inheritance?
Not necessarily.
Lu Chen really couldn't figure out why. When he saw the hazy moonlight in the sky, he subconsciously felt a slight chill on his body and sneeze.
"Zongqi, have you seen anyone visiting your temple today?"
Lu Chen asked.
He wanted to know if those people came here like them.
Zongqi shook his head and said no. He thought about it again and said, "But I was collecting medicine on the mountain today and saw several big birds flying in the sky and entered the Forbidden Mountain."
The so-called Forbidden Mountain was told to him by the fat monk. The fat monk did not allow him to set foot in that place. When he passed by while collecting medicine, he could hear a low roar inside, which was like a human being and an animal. It was terrifying and hateful, so later the imperial weapons were kept far away.
Walk around that place and don't dare to get close.
The place where the young monk Zongqi took them was the Forbidden Mountain, the deepest part of the Falling Demon Ridge.
Those big birds might be their riding tools.
"Zongqi, you know there are many things at the foot of the mountain that you have never seen before, but you haven't thought about going down the mountain to see them?"
Li Wei asked.
Zongqi shook his head: "Several of the master's disciples have gone down the mountain. If I go down too, he won't have anyone to pick tea and grow vegetables for him."
He was talking about the master's disciples. It seemed that he didn't agree with the disciples in front of the fat monk, otherwise he would have said "senior brothers". This showed that the relationship between his master and the previous disciples was not good.
After Lu Chen analyzed it, he didn't know if it was useful or not. Anyway, he just treated it as gossip.
"Don't you want to go down the mountain?"
Seeing the young monk's cleverness, the brothers who followed him couldn't help but want to tease him.
"I think, Master said I can go down the mountain, as long as I can be the best in the world."
"Then what if you can't be the best in the world?"
"Isn't that good? Then I can accompany Master."
With the Zongqi, a group of people laughed happily and were not bored along the way.
Less than an hour later, the group stopped.
Here we are! In front of us are two majestic stone mountains. There is only a thin gap between them, just like a line of sky in the sky. The terrain is extremely subtle. Coming from the mountain trail, you can vaguely see the scene on the other side of the gap.
Inside, there is a sky full of yellow sand, lifeless, as if the stone gate of the sky separates the two worlds.
On one side are cliffs and mountains, on the other side are barren and uninhabited lands. A sky gate stands in the middle, isolating the two worlds.
"This is the Forbidden Mountain."
When the little monk Zongqi arrived here, he looked nervous.
This place is actually a ruins. A huge inheritance was once established here, but it has gone through many disasters and has become dilapidated.
Lu Chen and others approached these two naturally formed huge stone gates and looked at them carefully, but did not easily go in. The young monk stayed where he was, as if he was afraid of this place.
Looking closer, Lu Chen saw that the stone gate was not an endless stretch of yellow sand, but it was not too small. At a glance, it covered an area of ten thousand hectares. There were palaces scattered around, wide squares, towering high-rises, and even towering towers in the air.
A hanging city with half of it missing.
However, these dilapidated buildings all have deep scratches, as if they were destroyed by sharp claws like cutting tofu.
It can be seen that this place was prosperous in the previous life, but it encountered some kind of disaster and was wiped out. This inheritance was torn to pieces by the owner of the sharp claw overnight.
"What was this place?
This is too spectacular, and the seals are too terrifying, to have ruined the place like this."
Looking at this vast and weathered ruins, Li Wei was a little frightened. He was shocked by the majestic inheritance here, and he was afraid that such an inheritance would be destroyed under that breathtaking claw mark.
Who is the owner of those claw marks?
Is it already dead?
Li Wei was a little hesitant and stood outside the stone gate for a while, not daring to step in. Compared to Dongsheng College, this place was several levels better. Even such a place of inheritance was destroyed under those claws. It was obvious that he didn't know how to enter.
How terrifying is the evil being, whether human or beast?
If he is not dead yet, let alone Li Wei, even if all the disciples like Lu Chen and others are put together, they may not be enough to fill a gap in people's teeth.
"A building that does not belong to this era is not the inheritance of this era."
Lu Chen observed and said.
It can be seen from the style of these buildings that buildings of this style are different from the buildings of this era. Lu Chen could not tell which era the sect belonged to.
"Yes, this place has probably been abandoned for tens of thousands of years."
Li Wei saw that some of the carvings on a certain building had been weathered and deduced.
Falling Demon Ridge actually hides such a desperate place. Is it a blessing or a curse for Lu Chen and others? Is the inheritance of Mad Sword Taoist really here?
What a terrifying creature it would be if it could tear apart an immortal inheritance with just one grasp.
"Huhu."
A gust of dark wind blew out from inside the stone door. The howling of the wind was like the wail of the ghost buried under the gravel, making people feel bone-chilling.
The sky had darkened, and the moonlight shone brightly and coldly on the vast ruins. At this time, the cold wind rolled out a piece of clothing, which happened to fall into Lu Chen's hands.
Lu Chen caught it, he had seen this thing before.
"These are the clothes of the disciples of Tianhuo Academy. Shi Tao has already entered here."
Li Wei said.
This object was none other than a scroll belonging to a disciple of Tianhuo Academy, and he remembered the patterns on it very clearly.
A section of broken robe blew out from the door. Lu Chen didn't even have to think about it. The group of people who went in before must have been attacked.
Without any further hesitation, Lu Chen briefly explained to Li Wei and other disciples before preparing to step into the stone gate.
"You go in, I'll keep watch outside. If the donors haven't come out yet tomorrow morning, I'll go and ask for my master."
Zongqi had no intention of following Lu Chen in. His master just told Lu Chen to give Lu Chen a ride. He asked his master for help only because the money given by Li Wei was too much, which ensured their survival for a long time. Although he did this without any experience
With his master's permission, the young monk knew in his heart that repaying a favor was greater than causing trouble to his master.
If these people are trapped inside, the master will definitely help, after all, he usually brags so much.
However, Zongqi prayed to Buddha from the bottom of his heart that nothing would happen to Lu Chen and the others.
"Zongqi, you'd better go back down the mountain. We'll be fine."
Although he had already guessed that his master was no ordinary person, he still didn't want his master to wait here. After all, it was very dangerous at night on the mountain.
Zongqi shook his head firmly. One of his characteristics is that he is particularly stubborn. Once he decides on something, he will not look back until his head is broken and his blood is shed. This is very similar to Lu Chen.
"Then take these and use them when you encounter a danger that cannot be solved."
Seeing that Lu Chen insisted on doing this, he gave up and asked him to pay attention to his safety. He gave him a stack of life-protecting talisman papers and stepped into the Forbidden Mountain Gate.
As soon as I stepped in, the vastness of the scenery inside the door was amazing. It was really too big here! This place may have been prosperous in the past, but now it is a land of ruins. All the orthodox traditions may be wiped out. Lu Chen felt a little emotional.
Along the way, he has seen countless similar things. No orthodoxy has ever been immortal and everlasting. There will always be times of failure. It seems that such a fate has existed since ancient times. Is it really God's arrangement?
But that's the thing, no matter whether it's a cultivator or a Taoist inheritor, who can truly achieve immortality?
Lu Chen couldn't help but think of himself. The past of this life has been full of ups and downs, with many brilliance and few downfalls, but it was always as if his fate was being manipulated at will by an invisible hand, just like God was teasing him.
At this moment, Lu Chen was a little wavering. Can the spiritual practice he has always insisted on really change his destiny, break away from the constraints, and reach the truth?
"What's wrong?"
Li Wei noticed that Lu Chen was strange and asked.
Lu Chen shook his head and said: "It's okay, I'm just a little sorry that such a grand orthodoxy will be shattered overnight."
"I have seen more magnificent sects in books. The books describe how the people there are born extremely powerful, with the ability to split mountains and rivers, move mountains and fill seas, and even the stars and rivers are reduced to weapons of that immortal being. The vastness
The scene is really unimaginable, it is full of fighting and darkness just like us, and no one knows what they are pursuing."
Li Wei smiled: "But it could also be a random fabrication. How could anyone be born so powerful and refine stars into his own weapons? This person really dares to think."
Then he said seriously: "Just Lu Chen, you have to know that we are born to control our own destiny in our own hands."
Do you control your own destiny?
Lu Chen agrees with this statement, but how many difficulties and obstacles are ahead?
After passing this hurdle, how many pits are there waiting for you to jump through?
Walking through the desert during the day and night, the clouds are overcast, the moon is dark, the wind is windy and the sand is evil! At night, a silver hook in the night sky of the Forbidden Mountain sheds infinite light, but this round of silver hook seems to make the air in the Forbidden Mountain become thin and cold.
It's very cold! Even though Lu Chen and others are strong in the geographical realm, they can't help but shiver a little.
This kind of cold is biting and irresistible. It can easily penetrate the protection of your spiritual energy and reach your bone marrow.
"It seems to be getting colder and colder. What the hell is this place? My spiritual power is completely irresistible."
A junior brother was trembling all over. He felt really uncomfortable, so he took out a pair of flame armor and put it on. The armor looked like a small sun in the moonlight and could resist the cold.
Some disciples also followed his example and took out fire-attribute treasures. Suddenly the area was brightly lit. From a distance, the group of people walking in the desert looked like fireflies that were about to go out.
"roar!"
At this time, a murderous intent suddenly appeared in the wilderness, followed by a roar.
