"My Excellency, Xu Taiping, since you have made up your mind, Master Xuanzhi, then come with me."
Xu Taiping nodded.
"Thank you to the donor for taking me in."
Monk Xuanzhi was very happy.
"I looked at the map. After bypassing the Blood Rain Forest and reaching the border of Xiliang, I have to stay in Fengming Mountain for a while. I can't accompany you, Master, to Xinghua Village."
Xu Taiping took out the map and looked at it.
Fengming Mountain was the destination of his trip.
As long as the ground fruit is planted on the mountain and Fairy Lingyue enters it to sleep, the page of the book will no longer be able to sense her breath.
"There are no more dangerous creatures between Fengming Mountain and Xinghua Village. The young monk can handle them on his own."
Monk Xuanzhi smiled warmly and nodded.
"By the way, there is one more question."
Xu Taiping suddenly remembered something and immediately asked the monk Xuanzhi:
"If the group of people ahead are in trouble, do you and I save them or not?"
Monk Xuanzhi thought for a moment after hearing this, then clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name:
"Let it happen."
Xu Taiping grinned when he heard this.
If the young monk can say this, it at least means that he is not that pedantic person who wants to save everyone.
But just as the two set off for the Blood Rain Forest, Xu Taiping discovered another problem——
This little monk actually walked with his back on his back.
"Master Xuanzhi, why are you walking with your back on your back?"
Xu Taiping asked puzzledly.
"This is the rule of Yunyin Temple. You can't meet the west. If you really want to go to the west, you can only carry it on your back."
Monk Xuanzhi clasped his hands together in embarrassment.
"I see."
Xu Taiping nodded.
Since he began to practice, he has seen many monks who behave strangely, and he has become accustomed to them.
Moreover, this Xuanzhi may seem thin, but his leg strength is not bad. Even if he is walking with his back on his back, his leg strength is not inferior to that of Xu Taiping who can walk with the "Jinji Tianya Shenfa".
In this way, Xu Taiping no longer cared about Xuan Zhi walking with his back on his back.
…
At nightfall.
Mulberry Valley at the entrance to the Blood Rain Forest.
Although they were traveling as fast as they could, the sky was still completely dark when they arrived here. Xu Taiping had no choice but to rest here with Monk Xuanzhi.
The Blood Rain Forest at night is a world of monsters and monsters, and even monks in the Transformation Realm do not dare to trespass.
However, when Xu Taiping raised the bonfire and saw clearly the scene on the cliff opposite under the bonfire, his scalp suddenly became numb.
"Why are you here?"
Xu Taiping looked at the cliff and frowned.
There is actually no special pattern on this cliff, just a poem engraved on it, which should have been left by a passing sword cultivator.
But the problem is that this cliff and this poem happened to appear in the scene of disaster that he saw with his left eye.
Regarding the pictures of the sixth calamity, his left eye saw a total of three pictures.
One shows the ruins of a temple in the jungle.
One is the lotus on the little monk's sleeve.
The other picture is the cliff in front of me.
But in the picture he saw with his left eye, the writing on the cliff was constantly seeping blood, and the blood that seeped out would turn into a woman after gathering at the foot of the mountain.
Wherever this woman passes, both men and women will turn into mummies, and their essence will be sucked away by her.
"That's the female ghost transformed by the mandrill spirit."
Just as Xu Taiping was thinking hard about what the ghost in the picture was, Fairy Lingyue's voice sounded in his mind for the first time in a long time.
"Sister Lingyue, are you awake?"
Xu Taiping asked in his heart with some surprise.
"Yeah, but in order to suppress the mark on the back of your hand, my divine energy is being depleted more and more, and I have to preserve some strength just in case, so after a cup of tea, I have to fall asleep again."
Fairy Lingyue said.
"I see."
Xu Taiping nodded and sat down in front of the bonfire.
"The mandrill spirit itself cannot cause much harm to the monks, but the mandrill spirit like the one you saw with your left eye, which can transform into a human form and can also cast spells, has at least eight hundred years of cultivation."
"This kind of existence is almost equivalent to a transformation monk. It is very difficult for you to deal with it now."
"But the monster transformed by this kind of charm will be bound by the laws of heaven even if it has been practiced for thousands of years."
"For example, if this mandrill wants to suck human energy, it must first shake your mind, otherwise it won't be able to do it no matter how powerful it is."
Hearing this, Xu Taiping felt slightly relieved.
But what Fairy Lingyue said next made his heart tense again——
"But judging from what you saw with your left eye, you were not injured or killed after the mandrill spirit appeared. So I speculate that the mandrill may not have come for you."
Although Fairy Lingyue is sleeping, she can still sense everything happening in the outside world.
After Xu Taiping heard this, he immediately turned to look at the young monk on the opposite side of the bonfire, who was skillfully setting up a pot to cook porridge.
"Sister Lingyue, do you want to say that this mandrill spirit came here because of this little monk?"
Xu Taiping asked tentatively in his heart.
"The ascetic lineage cultivates the power of creation, and this power of creation is an irresistible delicacy for mountain spirits, ghosts and monsters. The power of creation can enlighten their spiritual intelligence, allowing them to truly be like humans. General practice.”
"And this young monk has been begging for alms in Southern Chu for three years. The corn, gold and silver he received are all filled with the pure power of creation."
Fairy Lingyue explained.
"So, Sister Lingyue, do you want to say that I actually brought a disaster with me into the Blood Rain Forest? Next, there will be more monsters similar to this mandrill spirit that will be attracted to him?"
Xu Taiping asked with a bit of shock on his face.
"That's true, but luckily you brought him with you."
"Why do you say that?"
"If you let him go into the mountain alone, the power of creation in him will be eaten away by the monsters in the mountain. With your luck, you will definitely encounter these monsters and monsters that have swallowed the power of creation and become extremely powerful. , then it will not be a narrow escape, but ten deaths and no life.”
After hearing what Fairy Lingyue said, Xu Taiping suddenly thought:
"So, if I want to break this sixth calamity, I have to protect this little monk?"
"That's right."
Fairy Lingyue responded, and then continued:
"Moreover, your encounter with this little monk may seem like a disaster, but in fact, there is a blessing in the misfortune."
"Where is the blessing?"
Xu Taiping asked with some confusion.
"The power of creation can not only enlighten monsters, but also restrain monsters. It's just that the inheritance of Youyuntian Buddhism has been cut off, and this little monk doesn't know how to use it."
"But, your sister, I can!"
Fairy Lingyue said slightly proudly.
