“My name is Xu Taiping. Since you, Master Xuanzhi, have thought it through, then come with me.”
Xu Taiping nodded and said.
“Thank you, benefactor, for taking me in.
The monk Xuanzhi was very happy.
“I took a look at the map. After bypassing the Blood Rain Forest and going to the border of Xiliang, I have to stay in Fengming Mountain for a while and cannot accompany you, Master, to that Xinghua Village.”
Xu Taiping took out the map and took a look.
This Fengming Mountain is the destination of his trip.
As long as he plants the Earth Fruit on the mountain and the Lingyue Fairy enters it and falls asleep, then the One-Page Book will no longer be able to sense her aura.
“There are no more fierce creatures between Fengming Mountain and Xinghua Village. This humble monk can handle it on his own.”
The monk Xuanzhi nodded with a warm smile.
“Oh, by the way, there is one more question.”
Xu Taiping suddenly remembered something and immediately asked the monk Xuanzhi：
“If those people in front are in trouble, should we save them or not？”
Hearing this, the monk Xuanzhi thought for a while, then put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra：
“Let it be.”
Xu Taiping grinned when he heard this.
The little monk could say this, which at least shows that he is not the kind of pedantic person who will save everyone.
However, just as the two were about to set off for the Blood Rain Forest, Xu Taiping discovered another problem –
This little monk was actually walking backwards.
“Master Xuanzhi, why are you walking backwards？”
Xu Taiping asked in confusion.
“This is the rule of Yunyin Temple. When encountering the west, don’t go forward. If you really have to go to the west, you can only walk backwards.”
The monk Xuanzhi put his hands together a little embarrassedly and said.
“So that’s how it is.”
Xu Taiping nodded.
Since he started practicing, he has seen many monks with strange behaviors and has long been used to it.
Moreover, although this Xuanzhi looks thin, his foot strength is not bad. Even if he is walking backwards, his foot strength is not inferior to that of Xu Taiping who is walking with the Zhichi Tianya.
In this way, Xu Taiping cares even less about the fact that Xuanzhi is walking backwards.
……
At night.
Sangmu Valley at the entrance of the Blood Rain Forest.
Although they were traveling at the fastest speed, by the time they arrived here, the sky had already completely darkened, so Xu Taiping had to rest here with Monk Xuanzhi.
At night, the Blood Rain Forest is the world of demons and monsters. Even a cultivator in the Transcendent Realm would not dare to barge in rashly.
However, when Xu Taiping lit the bonfire and saw the scene on the opposite cliff wall under the light of the bonfire, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
”Why is it here？”
Xu Taiping frowned as he looked at the cliff wall and said.
There was actually no special pattern on this cliff wall. Only a poem was engraved on it, which should have been left by a passing sword cultivator.
But the problem was that this cliff wall and this poem had just appeared in the disaster scene seen by his left eye.
Regarding the scene of the sixth disaster, his left eye saw a total of three scenes.
One was the ruins of a temple in the jungle.
One was the lotus on the cuff of the little monk.
The other one was this cliff wall in front of him.
It was just that in the scene seen by his left eye, the handwriting on this cliff wall was continuously oozing blood and these oozing blood, after converging at the foot of the mountain, would turn into a woman.
Wherever this woman passed, both men and women would turn into a mummy and have their essence sucked away by her.
”That is a female ghost transformed by a mountain goblin.”
Just as Xu Taiping was pondering what exactly the ghostly creature in that image was, the voice of Fairy Lingyue which he hadn’t heard for a long time, rang out in his mind.
“Sister Lingyue, you’re awake？”
Xu Taiping asked somewhat pleasantly in his heart.
“Yes, but in order to suppress the mark on the back of your hand, my divine essence is being depleted more and more, and I also have to preserve some strength just in case, so I have to fall asleep again after the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.”
Fairy Lingyue said.
“I understand.”
Xu Taiping nodded, and then sat down in front of that bonfire.
“The mountain goblin essence itself can’t cause much harm to cultivators, but the kind like the one you saw with your left eye, which has already been able to transform into a human form and even cast spells has at least eight hundred years of cultivation.”
“Such an existence is almost equivalent to a cultivator in the transformative realm, and it’s very difficult for you to deal with now.”
“But even if an evil spirit monster transformed from such a spirit and charm cultivates for a thousand years, it will still be bound by the laws of heaven.”
For example, this mountain goblin, if it wants to suck human spirit, it must first make your mind waver otherwise it can’t do it no matter how powerful it is.”
After hearing this, Xu Taiping relaxed a little.
However, the words that Fairy Lingyue said next once again made his heart tighten——
“But judging from the scene seen in your left eye, after this mountain demon spirit appeared, you were not injured or killed. So I guess that the mountain demon might not have come for you.
Although Fairy Lingyue was in a deep sleep, she could still sense everything that happened in the outside world.
After hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately turned his head to look at the little monk who was skillfully setting up a pot to cook porridge on the opposite side of the bonfire.
“Sister Lingyue, do you mean that this mountain demon spirit came because of this little monk？”
Xu Taiping asked tentatively in his heart.
“The line of ascetic monks cultivates the power of good fortune, and this power of good fortune is an irresistible delicacy for mountain spirits, ghosts, and demons. The power of good fortune can enlighten their spiritual wisdom and allow them to truly cultivate like humans.”
“And this little monk has been begging for alms in Southern Chu for three years, and the millet and gold and silver he has obtained are all contaminated with the pure power of good fortune.”
Fairy Lingyue explained.
“So, Sister Lingyue, you mean that I actually brought a disaster into the Blood Rain Forest with me？ Next, there will be more monsters similar to this mountain demon spirit that will be attracted by him？”
Xu Taiping asked in his heart with a somewhat shocked expression on his face.
“That’s indeed the case, but fortunately, you brought him along.”
“Why do you say that？”
“If you let him enter the mountain alone, the power of good fortune on him will surely be devoured by the demons and monsters in the mountain. With your fortune, you will definitely encounter these demons and monsters that have swallowed the power of good fortune and become extremely powerful. At that time, it will not be a matter of nine deaths and one life, but ten deaths and no life.”
Hearing what Fairy Lingyue said, Xu Taiping immediately understood in his heart and said：
So, if I want to break through 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 seems to be a misfortune, but in fact, there is fortune in the misfortune.”
“Where is the fortune？”
Xu Taiping asked with some confusion.
“The power of good fortune can both enlighten the minds of mountain spirits, ghosts, demons and evil spirits, and also make their minds return to chaos. If used well, they can even be used by you.”
“But your sister here knows how to use it！”
Fairy Lingyue said with a hint of pride.
