"Blow it up?" Dolin understood somewhat. A smile gradually appeared on his lips. Then he took out the gourd containing the divine water and drank several mouthfuls.
As the divine water entered his body, Dowling felt his body begin to recover, but soon he noticed a sore and numb feeling in his left arm, as if something was sucking on his arm.
"It's trying to steal my life again!" Dorian exclaimed.
"So it depends on which one of you is more ruthless. I really can't think of any way to eradicate it. I can only rely on your perseverance and your reserves of divine water. I wish you good luck." Gang Yan said another sentence and then stopped. No more words.
Dolin didn't waste any time. He continued to walk forward, drinking the divine water as he walked. He wanted to compete with this nightmare Jin Baorui, who had designed his life, but he never believed in fate.
Continuing walking, until a gourd of divine water was almost finished, a mountain finally appeared in Dolin's sight. Different from the barren mountains he had seen before, this mountain was covered with dense vegetation, and the jasper and green pines were different from the mountain. There are houses, and the style of the houses happens to be exactly what the temple looks like.
"I finally found you, Xiling Mountain..." Daolin looked at the unique mountain and was very excited.
At this moment, the palm of his left hand felt a little itchy. Daolin opened his left hand and looked at it, only to see that the originally half-open Nightmare Golden Baoli was almost in full bloom.
"Let's see if you kill me or if I burst you!" Dolin sneered and took another sip of the divine water.
Without further ado, Daolin began to move towards Xiling Mountain.
At the foot of Xiling Mountain, Daolin looked at the lush vegetation, felt the vibrant green, and felt much more relaxed.
Stepping up the mountain, the winding paths are deep and deep, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
One-third of the way up, you can see a mountain gate with three big characters above it - Xiling Mountain!
"Dolin comes to pay homage to the mountain!" Dolin bowed deeply to Buddhism and shouted.
With a creak, the door of the temple opened, and a young monk poked his head out. The young monk must be in his teens, with a round face and a round head, which looked very cute.
"This donor, where did you come from?" The young monk stepped out of the door and asked Daolin with his hands clasped together.
"I came from the Lieyang Empire and I have something to ask for!" Daolin quickly returned the greeting.
"Donor, wait a moment, I will report to the master." The young monk nodded and returned to the door, and the door was closed accordingly.
Daolin looked at the closed Buddhist door and felt a little uneasy, wondering what he should do if the monk in Xiling Mountain was as difficult to serve as Zen Master Baimei.
Just as he was thinking wildly, footsteps sounded, and then the Buddhist door opened again, and the young monk from before slowly walked out.
"Donor, our master has agreed to meet the benefactor. Please come with me." The young monk said softly.
"Thank you, little master..." Daolin returned the greeting and followed the young monk through the door.
There are two statues of Vajra warriors in the Shanmen Hall. They are majestic in appearance and face each other with angry eyes. They hold vajra pestles to deter demons and monsters. The warrior on the left is glaring and opening his mouth in anger, while the warrior on the right is angry and has his lips closed.

From the column Ancient Architecture of China
Buddhist temples are usually built on mountains, so the outer gate of the temple is called "Mountain Gate". It usually consists of three doors in parallel. There is a large door in the middle and two small doors on both sides. Many temples build the mountain gates in the palace style, at least the middle gate is built in the palace style, which is called "Shanmen Hall".
There are two statues of Vajra warriors in the hall. They are majestic in appearance, glaring at each other with angry eyes, and holding vajra pestles to ward off demons and monsters. The rikishi on the left is angry and opens his mouth, while the rikishi on the right is angry and has his lips closed. In some Chinese Buddhist temples in the later period, the Vajra Warriors were replaced by the "Hum and Ha" generals. The one who closed his mouth was the "Hum" general, and the one who opened his mouth was the "Ha" general.
After walking out of the Shanmen Hall, there are bell and drum towers facing each other in the courtyard. The bell tower is on the left and the drum tower is on the right.
Daolin once heard Jijiu tell him that the monks in the monastery usually ring the bells first in the morning and then use the drums to respond; in the evening, they beat the drums first and use the bells to respond.
Between the bell tower and the drum tower is the Tianwang Hall, which also constitutes the first courtyard of the temple.
Enshrined in the Hall of Heavenly Kings is Maitreya Buddha, and behind Maitreya Buddha is Skanda Bodhisattva.
Following the young monk further back, there is the courtyard where the Mahavira Hall is built. The Mahavira Hall is the main hall, also known as the main hall. It is the core building of the entire temple and is also the place where monks gather to practice morning and evening.
"Donor, please wait a moment, the master is teaching in the hall." The young monk said softly.
Daolin nodded and looked towards the Main Hall. He could see the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha enshrined in the Main Hall.
Jiejie told him that Mahavira is the virtuous name of the Buddha. "Great" means encompassing all things; "virgin" means subduing all demons, because Sakyamuni Buddha possesses the wisdom of perfect enlightenment. Nengxiong controls the universe, so Buddhist disciples respectfully call him "Mahaxiong". The "treasure" in the treasure hall refers to the three treasures of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.
Waiting quietly, for some reason, since entering Xiling Mountain, the nightmare Jin Baorui on Daolin's left hand has also become quieter, which gives Daolin time to suppress it.
"Donor, are you very thirsty?" The little monk asked curiously as he watched Daolin drink water continuously.
"There is no way. If I don't drink water, I might just die in your temple." Daolin said mockingly.
"Did the donor encounter any difficulties?" the young monk asked puzzledly.
Daolin opened his left hand and showed it to the young monk. The young monk's expression suddenly changed after taking one look.
"Donor, how did you get hit by the nightmare Jinbaorui?"
"Oh? Does the young master recognize this thing?" Now it was Dolin's turn to be curious.
"Yes, one of my senior brothers was killed by this thing. His whole body was sucked into a mummy. My senior brother was very kind to me..." The little monk's expression became very bad.
"Is this thing common in your place?" Dolin asked, pointing to the Nightmare Jinbaorui in his palm.
"It's not common. It's very difficult to encounter this thing. Once you encounter it, it's basically difficult to survive, but... but looking at the blooming state of the donor's nightmare golden treasure and the length of its roots, you should have been killed long ago..."
As the young monk spoke, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly clasped his hands and bowed to Daolin.
Daolin smiled and waved his hand. The little monk was right. If he hadn't been physically strong and had the help of the divine water, he might have died.
While waiting for the master to teach, Daolin asked the young monk about the situation on this continent.
The young monk picked out some things he could tell and told Daolin. For example, this continent is called Kuji Continent. In the eastern part of the main continent, only the Xiling Mountain area has vegetation.
And the young monk told him that Xiling Mountain is actually very close to the mainland barrier. Under normal circumstances, it can be reached in less than a day.
As for why Dolin walked for so long, there is only one possibility, and that is that Dolin got lost when he came here.
Daolin was very lucky about this. Being able to find Xiling Mountain in a lost state meant that he was destined to Xiling Mountain.
