At the entrance of the Forbidden Mountain, two huge portals reached into the sky, and the gloomy strong wind kept pouring out from the door, making the young monk who promised to wait for Lu Chen outside the door tremble all the time.
"I don't know how those donors are doing. I always feel uneasy." The young monk meditated and prayed secretly in his heart. He looked at the extremely bright moonlight in the door and was a little worried about Lu Chen and others.
"Master said that the big evil in the Forbidden Mountain ate a lot of people, why don't you go back and ask Master?"
After thinking about it, Zongqi felt that something was wrong with him staying here, so he decided to go back and ask his master to go up the mountain. With the few tricks the old monk taught him, he naturally did not have the strength to save Lu Chen, but his master was different.
.
Hearing his master often brag about how famous and famous the old monk was when he was young, his feats such as breaking the waves, and Zongqi were often fascinated. If the person on this mountain has the strength to break into the Forbidden Mountain, I am afraid that his master is the only one.
Just when he was about to turn back, a nauseating smell of blood suddenly filled the air. The young monk often walked in the mountains and was very familiar with the smell of blood.
"Blood Bear!"
The blood bear is a creature unique to the Forbidden Mountain. Different from ordinary bears, this type of bear is characterized by its tall size, red hair, even its pupils as red as blood, and its extremely strong ability to withstand attacks.
Usually the strong people in the Earth Realm don't want to provoke the blood bear, not because they can't beat it, but because the blood bear will bite and hold on to the prey he recognizes. No matter how many tricks you try, it will still be unafraid.
I have encountered Zongqi several times, and each time it left some teeth marks on its body. Fortunately, the old monk said that his Vajra had been broken through by him for the first time. Otherwise, I don’t know how many times I would have died in the mouth of this bloody bear.
.
Wild beasts all like to come out at night, and this blood bear is no exception. It is almost rare during the day. This big scarlet man stands not far behind the Zongqi, staring at the Zongqi.
"If I don't fight today, I will go down the mountain to find my master to save people!" The young monk rubbed the stick. He knew this bloody bear, the one he often encountered.
Not all creatures on the Forbidden Mountain can understand human language. This blood bear doesn't know what the prey he often kills is saying?
One characteristic of blood bears is that they do not like to sneak attack on their prey. This is very different from most creatures that hunt for hygiene. Often, before those jackals, tigers and leopards want to catch their prey, the first thing they do is to lurk and observe the prey quietly.
Waiting for a slight flaw, there is a high chance that the prey will fall into your plate.
It can be said that sneak attack is a common method of all predators, but this blood bear is just the opposite. As long as you don't notice it, it will not attack you, but if you look at it, it will treat you as a predator.
for prey.
Just like the blood bear had actually stayed behind the Zongwei for a long time, and when it wanted to take action, it would not wait for the Zongwei to turn around, but directly attacked from behind. The Zongwei must have been damaged, but it was not.
So, this is an upright bear.
The blood bear roared and attacked Zongqi. It was running on the ground on four legs. When it approached the young monk, it stood up and covered Zongqi's face with a pair of huge bear paws.
"bump!"
A golden light flashed, and the blood bear was knocked away by the golden light. Blood was scattered along the way and he was severely injured.
"Master!" Only then did the young monk see clearly who was coming. This person was none other than the fat monk from the mountainside temple. The fat monk smiled and looked at his apprentice: "Now he can't bear his temper and wants to go back to me.
?”
He had watched Zongqi grow up and knew that he had a kind heart, so he followed Zongqi from afar after he took Lu Chen and others away. Firstly, he was worried about the safety of his disciples, and he came here to explore Lu Chen.
The bottom of the crowd.
"The Forbidden Mountain is very lively today. Come down quickly. I'm here." The fat monk said, and asked Zongqi to go down the mountain and look at the two towering gates. He smiled and said to himself: "Your old friend's gate is also here today.
Coming to see you."
"That blood bear..." Before leaving, Zongqi was still a little worried about the blood bear that he often fought with.
"Have you forgotten what I usually teach you?" The fat monk glared and said, "Although I, the Buddha, are compassionate, how dare you forget the angry eyes of Vajra? How is this different from the ordinary Buddha?"
It is said that Vajra's angry eyes are not as good as Bodhisattva's bowed eyebrows, but the fat monk doesn't think so. The so-called angry eyes and bowed eyebrows are just different appearances. The appearance comes from the heart. As long as there is compassion in the heart, angry eyes are also compassion.
"But..." Zongqi hesitated and blushed shyly. After being told this by his master more than once, he lowered his head and went down the mountain.
The fat monk behind him suddenly said: "Don't worry, I stopped my strength, that evil beast is fine."
The little monk then put aside his grudge and jumped down the mountain.
As soon as Zongqi walked away, the fat monk suddenly thought of something and shouted: "You bastard, prepare dinner and wait for me to go back to eat."
"Here comes the knife!"
The fat monk looked at the moon inside the portal, and with a move of one hand, something burst out of the small temple, flew towards the Forbidden Mountain, and landed in the hands of the fat monk.
This is a knife. It looks like a very ordinary knife. From the shape, it looks like an ordinary pig-killing knife. Even the handle is not polished. It is like wood randomly inlaid on the blade.
The tip of the knife was broken. I'm afraid ordinary people's butcher knives are more delicate than this, right?
But just such a knife seemed to have a natural flavor in the hands of the fat monk. Every time it was shaken, there seemed to be endless murderous intent and madness hidden in it.
"Old man, long time no see." The blade chirped softly, seeming to be responding to the fat monk.
The fat monk got the knife, but his temperament changed in vain. He had a kind face, but the moment he got the knife, he became like a butcher, a butcher who slaughtered millions of people.
The butcher's knife whizzed into the air, and two pieces fell out of thin air on the ground. When he looked closely, it turned out to be a corpse. This corpse didn't even make a sound, it had been cut in half with a knife. If Lu Chen
If you were there, you must know this person. This person is the person he stopped and asked about on the way.
"Everyone who comes to the Tianhuo Academy in the Forbidden Mountain today will die." The fat monk looked at the corpse on the ground and said coldly.
I don’t know who the fat monk said this to, but when he finished speaking, the space in the distance fluctuated slightly, and then the fat monk made a sharp move, and several more corpses fell out of the space.
Only the last person was left. The person was scared to death and fell from the air. He begged for mercy: "I, I, I am not from Tianhuo Academy. I was coerced by them. Please don't kill me."
The fat monk put away his knife and said with a smile: "I know."
"Then, can I leave?" The man's calves were weak. Although he was strong in the Earth Yuan realm, he couldn't even think of escaping in front of this fat monk.
There is no way, the difference in strength between the two is too big, the fat monk may just have a thought to kill him.
The fat monk thought for a moment, nodded, ignored him, and stepped into the forbidden mountain.
The man put down the huge stone in his heart and ran away quickly. It seemed that he was afraid that the fat monk's mind would change and he would not let him go.
He estimated that the fat monk's strength was at least at the Tianyuan level, so he must go back and report this matter as soon as possible. However, this was also the fat monk's purpose. He deliberately let this man go because he wanted him to go back and report the news.
Inside the Forbidden Mountain.
One man and one ape ran through the yellow sand in the sky. When we got here, the scenery in front of us had changed. The surrounding buildings seemed to be relatively complete, but there was still no one here. There were many buildings buried by the yellow sand, but there were only a few buildings.
Has not been destroyed.
In front of Lu Chen was a palace with an open door and a well-preserved door plaque with the words "Palace of All Living Beings" written on it.
"The Hall of All Living Beings." Lu Chen wrote down the name of this hall.
It was such a grand sect that it could be called the Hall of All Living Beings. This sect was so arrogant and boundless back then. No wonder it was destroyed like this. Lu Chen cursed in his heart.
The gatekeeper is an ancient ferocious ape. The entrance is the palace of living beings. Everyone is equal, regardless of whether you are a god or a demon.
This hall is very majestic, spanning the entire canyon. If you want to go deeper, you must pass through the hall.
"Do you know where this place is?" Lu Chen asked the Ancient Fierce Ape. He didn't want to get any results from the question, but the Ancient Fierce Ape nodded. He pointed to the main hall in front of him and said with awe.
: "God! Demon!"
This hall has lost its original charm, and the formations have long been destroyed or dissipated. Apart from being extremely large, it doesn't seem to have much peculiarity. It doesn't look like a place with "gods" and "demon".
If there was, it would have happened a long time ago. By now, I’m afraid the gods would have been destroyed, and so would the demons, right?
"You have been brainwashed by this place. Is it possible that anyone can call you a god or a devil?" Lu joked.
Lu Chen thought of the ancient emperor of the fierce ape. Even such a powerful emperor would not dare to claim to be a god, right?
The two images of gods and demons linger in Lu Chen's mind. The majesty of gods and the vastness of demons are naturally in opposition to each other. How are they defined?
Lu Chen is far from qualified for these things now, and thinking about them is in vain.
The god mentioned here is not a realm that Chase Lu has been exposed to before. This is an existence close to faith. It has nothing to do with realm. There may be a realm to speak of, but Chase Lu has not yet reached that point to explore it.
The ancient vicious ape pulled Lu Chen into the Hall of All Living Beings without saying a word.
Entering the Hall of All Living Beings, the first thing Lu Chen saw was the lifelike carved statues. If it weren't for the carved faces, it would have made people think that the statues in front of him were real people.
This is the main hall. The main hall is quite large. There are more than ten statues of this kind. Each one has no carved face. Lu Chen couldn't help but feel curious. The statue in the hall was made by a certain master of craftsmanship. Why?
Refuse to make a face?
Lu Chen found it interesting, thought about it for a moment, and came up with a possibility: the people who come to see the divine throne enshrined in the Hall of All Living Beings are not qualified to see the face of the true God.
From this we can see the prosperity and pride of this sect before its collapse.
Lu Chen didn't take it seriously. He had seen this kind of thing a lot. Often those powerful people or sects were arrogant and arrogant that ordinary people could hardly imagine. They would treat people who were inferior to themselves and keep them at a distance.
You have to show a "you can't reach it" attitude. Perhaps because of these reasons, these sects often have a bad end, either being destroyed by their enemies, or being defeated over time, and defeating everyone.
Guess, there are countless such things, Lu Chen is not surprised at all.
Lu Chen stepped forward to look at these stone statues. Even after such a long time, the craftsmen's meticulousness was clearly visible. Just when he was marveling at the ingenuity of these statues, Lu Chen suddenly discovered that the ancient ape beside him was missing.
