"It's so quiet..."
A group of people climbed the mountain, and the mountain road was relatively neat. After all, this was a tourist attraction. However, although today was not a holiday, they did not see any other tourists, which was strange.
"Most people who travel to the Three Gorges take boats. They will take the big elevator directly to go up the mountain. Few people are willing to climb the mountain. Furthermore, the schedule is tight and the boat will not wait that long."
“So, it’s normal for just the few of us to climb the mountain.”
Director Zhang thought there was no problem. Goddess Peak is not high, only 800 meters, but it takes almost two hours to climb up the mountain and four hours to go up and down the mountain. Those tourists who are just sightseeing do not have this time.
"We can climb to the Goddess Temple in half an hour."
"Today is going quite smoothly."
He didn't know whether he was happy or regretful. After all, he wanted to see some strange events, but this time he was able to get to know several Taoist priests, and he didn't mind if nothing happened.
But a few minutes later.
Liu Qing was the first to say: "Can you give me a bottle of water?"
"Have you finished the water?"
Everyone was given a bottle of water beforehand, and Director Zhang also carried a few bottles of water. After all, he has been a tour guide and led tours all year round. He has good physical strength and can easily climb mountains. But Liu Qing is also a young man. Is he so weak?
"Here... drink slowly."
Passing the water over, Director Zhang was a little confused when he saw Liu Qing sweating profusely. Looking aside, An Qing and Li Keer were only sweating slightly, with relaxed expressions. Professor Wang was middle-aged, so he was fine.
Why does the young man...
You wouldn't know if you didn't look at it, but you would be shocked to see that not only Liu Qing, but also Cheng Wei and Peng Hua were very tired, but they just didn't say a word. Is the Taoist priest's physical condition so poor?
"you……"
Just as Director Zhang was about to speak, Zhao Qingxue, who was supported by Lu Wenming over there, had already said: "Mountain God, no, the mountain ghost is preventing us from going up the mountain. Every step we take is suppressed."
Liu Qing gasped and said, "Damn it, the effect becomes more obvious the further you go up. It's obvious that you're not lacking in oxygen, but you're almost out of breath."
Cheng Wei just said: "It can't be solved."
Peng Hua: "Neither the magic technique nor the Liujia secret blessing has any effect. If we continue like this, we will definitely not be able to climb to the top of the mountain, and the goddess temple will be too choked."
Seeing that they didn't seem to be faking it, Director Zhang swallowed nervously and asked, "Then, shall we go back?"
"Can't go back!"
Zhao Qingxue said sternly: "I looked up and saw that there is a door to death behind me. If I go back, I will definitely encounter a 'ghost beating the wall' and I won't be able to get down the mountain."
"What should we do?"
He was a little panicked. It was one thing to be curious about the mystery. After just a few minutes of climbing the mountain, the four Taoist priests were almost exhausted. What was going on? Wait, there is another Taoist priest who is very relaxed?
"This Director Lu? Are you okay?"
Lu Faqiu saw them looking at him and said with a smile: "It's simple, just seal your own cultivation."
"..."
Seeing that everyone was speechless, he added: "The magic power of the Xiaodao is low, so we can only use tricks. I saw that everyone was showing their magical powers, so I thought there was a way, so I didn't say anything to remind you."
"By the way, if you don't know how to seal."
"The trail can help."
"Well, if you don't mind."
Zhao Qingxue had no worries and said directly: "It's troublesome."
Lu Faqiu smiled and handed out a bracelet and said: "As you can tell, the incantation is 'The Master said: Strange, powerful, chaotic, and divine, if you use it, you will act, and if you leave it, you will hide it.'"
"After casting the spell, just store the magic power temporarily in the beads."
"It's the same spell to release mana, but the idea is to release it, not to receive it."
The others were relieved when they saw that it was not Lu Faqiu who was using the technique.
Ask him for a magic weapon.
"I'm sorry, there are only two magic weapons, one for me and the first for my eldest sister. If you want to ban them, I have to cast another spell." This made the other three people immediately look down.
Liu Qing began to call her master, and others did the same.
Soon, the group of people used it individually and stood up after a few minutes. However, the effects were different, but they were able to barely climb the mountain.
Only Lu Faqiu and Zhao Qingxue were unaffected like ordinary people.
Li Keer hid behind An Qing and said, "Brothers and sisters... are so strange."
An Qing smiled and said: "If they were wearing Taoist robes, you would think it was normal. It would be okay. We are not members of the Taoist sect and will not be affected. You see, nothing happens to us."
Professor Wang also said: "The power of kings is granted by God, so what is the power of God? If we adhere to materialism, nothing will happen."
"Even ghosts and gods must abide by the rules."
"It's just a big thank you to the Taoist priests."
Professor Wang is very relaxed. Nothing else. He is a professor awarded by the state and has a serious professional title. Even if he is only an associate professor, in ancient times, he would have a name in the Imperial College.
If ghosts and gods dare to harm him, they are crazy.
Therefore, he was extremely relaxed during this "adventure". As a tourist, if he needed to contact the local department, he would provide identity support. No need, he was just a theater person. Take a look at this part of the information and story, and you can Cannot join the study.
"What the professor said makes sense."
Director Zhang felt relieved, but he didn't know that he was different from Professor Wang...
"Keep going up the mountain."
Zhao Qingxue took a deep breath and took the lead. This time nothing happened until they reached the Goddess Temple. On the contrary, everyone felt relaxed, and even the air circulated in an instant.
Liu Qing and the others quickly went into the temple to burn incense and worship the gods.
Zhao Qingxue said to Lu Wenming: "You decide for yourself whether you want to go up the mountain next. If not, stay in the temple. It is safe here."
Lu Wenming was silent for a moment.
Having just seen the situation and actions of the Taoist priests, he was actually a little... disillusioned with metaphysics practice.
He couldn't see anything, he just felt that the Taoist priests were searching for enemies in the void...
But he had no idea what to do next.
He raised his head while thinking and saw the Temple of the Goddess. He smiled and said, "Let the Goddess make the decision whether to go or not. Anyway, I have researched a period of history where I don't know what is right or wrong. Whether I have found the truth or offended me, it doesn't matter. There is a destiny.”
"Would you like to let me go up the mountain and continue studying this section?"
"Leave it to the goddess."
After saying that, he walked into the Goddess Hall, respectfully picked up three incense sticks, lit them, bowed three times, and offered incense.
Kneel respectfully on the futon.
Say goodbye again and again.
Question: "May I ask the Goddess Empress if I can go up the mountain during this trip?"
Take two coins from your pocket and toss them.
One flower and one word, holy hexagram.
One flower and one word, holy hexagram.
One flower and one word, holy hexagram.
The three saints agree, so go ahead.
He calmly put away the coins, turned to look at Zhao Qingxue and said with a smile: "Look, the goddess said you can go."
Zhao Qingxue also relaxed a little and said softly "Yeah".
She respectfully offered three sticks of incense to the Goddess Empress, but she did not kneel down or perform any divination. She just looked at the statue of the Goddess calmly, as if she wanted to see the traces of the goddess of heaven on it...
