Somewhere in the wilderness with few human traces.
On a rough road.
A certain soldier said with a somewhat sad expression:
"How long do you think our journey will take?"
"Is five years enough?"
Another soldier said casually:
"It's definitely not enough. Before I traveled, I asked businessmen who had been to [Tianzhu], and they said it would take at least ten years."
"Besides, that's when the weather is smooth and there's no disaster."
"If you are unlucky and encounter a war on the only road you must pass through, you will be prohibited from passing..."
"Then doubling the date is not impossible."
got this reply.
A soldier immediately sighed: "...by the way, since the holy monk has great magic power, why doesn't he choose to fly over?"
Hear the words.
The other soldiers, after being stunned for a moment, were also a little puzzled. They could only guess uncertainly: "Perhaps this seems more sincere?"
"That sounds reasonable."
"I also think this is more reasonable..."
"..."
Listen to the discussion around you.
The leader of the escort team also had a twitching face.
Of the entire team, he is probably the only one who knows the truth.
The reason why the demon monk chose this relatively slow speed to go to [Tianzhu] was entirely due to Li Shimin's persuasion in bed.
And the reason Li Shimin used seemed more sincere just like this.
Otherwise.
This demonic monk might just go to [Da Leiyin Temple] in the clouds and mist...
Of course, after Li Shimin's begging was excluded.
According to the demon monk, there is actually another important reason.
This trip is going to [Da Leiyin Temple], there is likely to be a fierce battle!
Therefore, a relatively slow forward speed can also allow him to practice his Dharma, so as to better face fierce battles...
As for, as a monk, why did the demon monk have a fierce battle in [Da Leiyin Temple]?
That's something the leader doesn't dare to ask...
He only knew that when the demon monk said that he would have a fierce battle at [Da Leiyin Temple].
It's not just Li Shimin whose expression is quite strange.
Even Fang Xuanling's expression had an indescribable feeling.
And the demon monk's face looked a bit lewd...
In short, the leader felt that it was better not to know the specific cause of the matter.
Otherwise, you might be struck by lightning...
By the way, the leader of this escort team is the former leader of the Forbidden Army.
At this moment, due to some previous incidents, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling felt that it was a bit annoying, so they were assigned such a long-distance escort mission...
——
Some time passed.
Suddenly, there was some movement from ahead.
The leader frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
The soldier who originally planned to report the news did not dare to conceal it and reported immediately:
"Lord Qi, while exploring the road ahead, my subordinates discovered a strange mountain peak."
Hearing this, the leader looked puzzled.
"Strange mountain?"
"What's the meaning?"
The soldier quickly explained:
"When my subordinates passed by that mountain peak, they found that the mountain peak looked a bit like a human hand, and even the fingers were very lifelike, so they thought about climbing it and observing the situation. But just after climbing halfway up the mountain,
I felt like the earth was shaking, and I almost lost my footing and fell to death..."
"However, at that time, my subordinates regarded the situation as an earthquake and did not take it seriously."
"But now, when I talked with other colleagues, I found that they had no feeling about it at all... It was as if the scope of the earthquake was only limited to that mountain peak... Therefore, my subordinates felt that there might be something there in that place
Big problem!”
After hearing this, the leader also understood the general situation.
His brows furrowed involuntarily.
In this [world] full of gods and demons.
There are many weird things.
And according to what the soldier said, the mountain that looks like a human hand + the vibration that is limited to the mountain range can be directly understood by ordinary people as some kind of ominous sign. There is a high probability that there is something strange there.
The stuff remains.
‘The mountain god appears?’
'...Or maybe there is some big demon living nearby?'
After thinking about it carefully.
The leader thought it would be better to take a detour while waiting for others.
Although, there is an amazing power like [Tang San Burial] in the team.
Theoretically speaking.
They can push all the way.
However, the ordinary people in the team cannot withstand the torture.
If there was an aftermath that killed all the ordinary people present, it would be very difficult...
Therefore, he also said: "Give me the order, the team is going to take a detour..."
It was also at this time that a voice interrupted his words.
"There is no need to take a detour, just follow the original route."
When that sound hits my ears.
The leader immediately and instinctively became alert.
But his movements were not slow at all, and he knelt down quickly: "I understand, I have received the holy monk's decree..."
Didn't care about the other person's reaction.
At some point, [Tang San Burial], who had already stepped out of the carriage, just looked into the distance with a slight smile on his face.
Although it is something invisible to mortal eyes.
But there.
In his eyes, there is a bright Buddha light that is as bright as the majestic sun and is constantly blooming!
There is also a huge evil spirit that is vaguely permeating and dormant.
But the distance between itself and it is nothing to [Tang San's Burial].
The intersection of the two forces revealed a sense of time in his eyes.
It is obvious that those two forces have existed in that place for a long time.
At least, it's not something in the near future.
While the expression in his eyes was changing inadvertently, [Tang San's Burial]'s fierce tiger-like eyes were also filled with some kind of special interest.
'Is it some great demon that was suppressed by the Buddha himself...'
‘I really hope you don’t disappoint me…’
'This is true whether it is the suppressed demon itself or the power left by the Buddha...'
Think deeply.
His body, which is stronger than a bear, also has muscles one after another.
It fully proves that he is particularly interested in the situation in the distance...
After all, someone as powerful as him has not encountered a worthy opponent in the Tang Dynasty for many years...
It was extremely difficult for those weak and feeble wastes to even deal with his casual attacks.
It is precisely for this reason.
In recent years, [Tang San Burial] has become more obsessed with beauty.
because.
He only has so much fun.
I can't find anyone to fight with.
He has little interest in power and wealth.
Even if I want to find someone to discuss the most exquisite Buddhist principles, I can't find anyone in the same realm with whom I can have a heart-warming discussion...
