The little monk returns to the vulgar

Chapter 217
After tossing around and being chased and killed by Fahai all the way, he still has to go to Lingshan in the end.Dao Ran felt that he had done a useless effort, but there was nothing he could do.

It's just that his fists are not hard enough, he can be pinched by anything like Da Zi Zai Tian.

"One day, I will climb to the highest step by step..." Daoran muttered in his heart, and then stopped.

Practitioners are the most taboo to say casually, and it is easy to make a proverb. The second half of this sentence is unlucky, so it is better not to say it.

Now that he has decided to go to Lingshan, Daoran didn't delay, he just packed up some things and set off for Lingshan.

Daoran originally thought that going to Lingshan was Fahai leading him through the mountains to the scenic spot of Lingshan, and entered the Western Paradise.

However, things are not as simple as Dao Ran imagined.

Fa Hai flew with Dao Ran all the way. Dao Ran didn't know how far he flew, but the scenery under his feet changed a few times, and the pedestrians on the road also changed several different skin colors and clothing.

Obviously, Dao Ran has left the Central Plains, left the border of the Great Zhou, passed through countless unknown countries, big and small, and finally landed in a small town that looked ordinary.

Fahai said to Daoran: "To the west of this small town, there is a big mountain. There is Lingshan. You can walk the rest of the road by yourself."

Daoran asked: "Master, Lingshan is in the mortal world?"

"Yes, the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss is not far away, but there are too few people who can go up the mountain." Fahai left this rather Zen-like sentence, and then left without looking back.

Daoran watched Fa Hai leave, and then took a look at the town. This posture clearly showed that Shangling Mountain still had to go through a test.This small town looks ordinary, and the people who come and go at the gate of the city seem to be ordinary people, but Daoran guesses that there are a lot of Bodhisattvas and Arhats mixed in.

Maybe you have to fight with you even to take a shit, but Daoran is the most annoying thing is to fight with you. In terms of not speaking human words, Buddhism has always been the best among the leaders.

"Master, can you open the back door wider next time?" Daoran sighed, then strode forward with a basket on his back.

The gate of the city was unguarded, and there was no need to tell the way, Daoran entered the gate without hindrance.

The town is not big, but it is very prosperous, and the pedestrians on the road all look safe and happy.There are no beggars on both sides, and even those with disheveled faces are rare.

"As expected of the foot of Lingshan Mountain, it's a good place." Dao Ran said with emotion.

In this era, if there is a town where everyone can eat enough, it can definitely be called a paradise on earth.

The residents of the small town seem to be dedicated to the Buddha, and passers-by will smile friendlyly when they see the monk Daoran.When passing by a steamed stuffed bun shop, the chubby boss politely asked Daoran if he needed alms.

Daoran was not polite, and ordered two white buns to eat.

Although the stuffing is vegetarian, the sauerkraut is still alive and tastes good.

The boss who sold the buns was very kind and polite, but he was also very silent. After giving Daoran the buns, he was busy with his own business, and he didn't seem to have any intention of talking to Daoran, let alone playing tricks with him.

Dao Ran took a closer look, and found that this was not a way to play hard to get. The fat boss really just asked Dao Ran to eat two buns, and had no other ideas.

Daoran thanked him politely, and then walked towards the west.

It didn't take much time to go through the town, and along the way, Dao Ran once again confirmed that this is an ordinary but rich place.The residents of the town are all kind people, but they do not abide by the Buddhist precepts.

Daoran walked all the way, and saw many pubs, restaurants, and even butcher shops.

That is to say, this place can't help meat, and can't help drinking.

Dao Ran was also very surprised that the foot of the Lingshan Mountain turned out to be like this. He tried to drink two glasses of wine to him, but he was looked at by the waiter with strange eyes.

"Master, monks also drink alcohol? Don't tarnish your status as a monk." The waiter in the store looked disgusted, and the three views were quite upright.

Dao Ran apologized to the shop waiter who was honest with three views, but the other party was not unreasonable, poured a bowl of tea for Dao Ran, and then went to work on his own affairs.

Everything is unbelievably normal.

Daoran couldn't figure it out, if it was a test, it would be too simple.

Walking to a corner, Daoran knocked on the bamboo basket behind him, and asked, "Ramanu, do you know what's going on in this town?"

When Daoran left, he didn't bring much, except for two sets of monk robes, and only Ramanu.

The prince, who ranks below 3 million in Mahuraka, seems to have no intention of going home, and has followed Daoran shamelessly since he was summoned.

Although Ramanu only has the fighting power of a half-dog, he has seen a lot, and Dao Ran feels that he should be able to give him some advice.

Ramanu poked his head out of the bamboo basket, looked around, and said, "What's going on? Isn't everything normal? People living here are all mortals, and it's the closest place to the Paradise of Bliss. It's better to live comfortably. What's so weird?"

"So, the difficulty of going up to Lingshan is on the way up the mountain?" Daoran asked.

"Then I don't know, I have never been to Lingshan. But if it is simple, why would these mortals stay in the town? They must have climbed Lingshan to seek longevity." Ramanu said.

"Don't the Babu of Tianlong live on Lingshan?" Daoran asked.

"Spiritual Mountain is just a part of the Land of Ultimate Bliss, and the Land of Ultimate Bliss is just a corner of the Buddha Kingdom in the hands of the Buddha. The place where we Mahurajas live is far from Lingshan." Ramanu explained.

When Daoran heard the word "Buddhist Kingdom" in his palm, he immediately felt awe-inspiring.

What he is about to face is the Buddha. No matter how many saints there are on the Buddha, he is definitely a real power to overwhelm one side. Daoran needs to wake up 120,000 points of energy to deal with it.

Daoran continued on the road, his pace was much faster.

Since he couldn't find any useful information, Daoran simply didn't think about it so much, and went up the mountain as soon as possible.

All the way to the west of the town smoothly, a mountain high into the sky stopped in front of Daoran.

"This is Lingshan?"

Dao Ran could not see the top as far as he could see, but the way up the mountain was clearly visible, it was a winding stone staircase.The stairs are wide and there are wooden guardrails on both sides. Although it is a bit steep, it should not be difficult to walk.

Daoran was about to take a step, when he suddenly heard someone behind him say: "Young brother, please stay."

Daoran turned his head and saw a dark-skinned but very handsome monk waving to him.

Daoran has seen quite a few handsome monks, the one at Lanruo Temple who doesn't know who and Shenxiu are both handsome men, and Shenxiu is even more handsome because of the profound Buddhist teachings.But the black-faced monk in front of him was more beautiful than Shenxiu, and Dao Ran wondered if this monk also added a lot of points to his charm.

But this monk is obviously not from the Central Plains, but a very handsome foreign monk.It was the first time for Daoran to see a foreign monk, so he couldn't help but become curious, and asked, "Amitabha, what is your brother looking for me for?"

Heishuai monk clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, the poor monk is from the Mahabodhi Temple in Tianzhu. The dharma name is Guan Xingyue. Please ask the teacher and disciple for the dharma name." The black-faced monk said with a smile.

His smile is very friendly, and it is easy to make people feel good.

Guan Xingyue smiled even brighter when he said the word Tianzhu. He seemed to be very proud of his origin, but this kind of pride was not overbearing, it was more like telling others proudly, "My Yunnan fungus is delicious".

Daoran said: "The name of the little monk is Daoran, and he comes from Jinshan Temple in Dazhou."

"Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong. I think my junior brother looks like a Han from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Junior brother Daoran, are you planning to go to Lingshan too?" Guan Xingyue asked.

Guan Xingyue's Da Zhou speaks very well, if you don't look at his face, you will never know that he is a foreigner.

"Brother is the same?"

"Yes, not only me, but also others. We are all people who go up the mountain to seek Buddha, and we don't know the hardships and dangers of this trip. We are going to go together and take care of each other. Do you want to join, Daoran?" month asked.

"Can people help me when I go to Lingshan to pray for Buddha?" Daoran asked.

"Back then, Zhantan Gongde Buddha was also supported by the four masters and disciples to overcome 81 hardships. I guess it should be fine. Of course, if the master and brother have scruples, I will never force others to do so." Guan Xingyue said sincerely.

As an expert in lying, Dao Ran didn't even see the slightest flaw. This foreign monk seemed to be telling the truth, and was just offering a simple suggestion.

Daoran thought for a moment, then agreed: "What brother said is reasonable, since that's the case, I'll join."

After hearing this, Guan Xingyue enthusiastically brought Daoran to join the others.

There are not many people in this small group, and Daoran has only nine people, and to Daoran's surprise, even if Daoran is counted, there are only three monks.The remaining six are residents of the small town, and their occupations are also varied, including woodcutters, hunters, butchers, and scholars, and there is even a mage dressed in a weird way.

This person is dressed in a gorgeous robe. Looking at the patterns and shapes, you can tell that he is not from the Central Plains. It is a bit like the style of ancient Egyptians.The whole face of this person was tightly wrapped with a cloth towel, only a pair of eyes were exposed. Somehow, he thought it was a mummy walking out with clothes on.

Daoran quietly sensed that four of the nine were practitioners, and besides the three monks, the mummy mage also had magical powers.

Guan Xingyue introduced the origin of Dao Ran's name to everyone, and Dao Ran also knew how to greet everyone one by one.

"It's getting late today, and nine is the number. The poor monk thinks that nine people are enough, why not start up the mountain, what do you think?" Guan Xingyue asked these words in several languages.

Another monk named Shalishu quickly echoed and said, "Your Highness is right, let's go now."

"Your Highness?" Dao Ran was a little surprised.

Sha Lishu quickly explained: "Brother Guan Xingyue is the prince of our Tianzhu. He has been influenced by Buddhism since he was a child. He understands all kinds of sutras and meanings well. He is called a loving monk."

Sha Lishu's proud expression was a bit uncomfortable, as if he didn't know Guan Xingyue because he had little knowledge.

"Love Monk? This name seems to be against the precepts of Buddhism." Dao Ran asked curiously.

"Junior brother doesn't know, the way we practice is somewhat different from that of the Central Plains, and it's not that marriage is strictly prohibited." Guan Xingyue explained.

After Daoran heard this, he couldn't help but said: "When I get to Lingshan, I will definitely find my senior brother to verify the Buddha's teachings!"

Guan Xingyue smiled and said, "I accept your precious words."

The others did not object to Guan Xingyue, so the nine went up the mountain together.

This spiritual mountain is very high and steep, but the stone steps are wide and flat, and there are guardrails on both sides, so it doesn't look difficult to walk.Especially for practitioners, it is not a problem to walk tens of thousands of stairs.

But everyone's self-confidence is gone when they step on the first step of the stairs.

"My mana has been sealed." Guan Xingyue said in surprise.

The same is true for Dao Ran. The moment he stepped on the stone steps, all his mana was blocked, turning him from a practitioner into a mortal.No, not a complete mortal. Dao Ran can feel that the attributes added to him by the system are still there, but some attributes have been affected.

For example, talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not affected, but the attribute of holding spells is meaningless, because he can't gather mana to cast the Tianlong Babu amulet at all.

Fortunately for Daoran, the attribute of King Kong is not bad is still there. This attribute has nothing to do with mana, and it directly affects every inch of his flesh and bones. Even when he is asleep, his body is still indestructible.

In the same way, as long as the attributes that do not require mana to exert their effects are still there.

This made Daoran a little relieved, relying on his physique alone, it is not difficult to climb the stairs, at worst, he would rest a few times in the middle.

The few remaining mortals didn't feel much at all. They didn't have magic power, so they could walk however they wanted, but Guan Xingyue, Sari Tree and the mummy mage named Moses felt very uncomfortable.

It is simply unacceptable for ordinary people to change from a practitioner to a mortal again.

Guan Xingyue was the first to adapt, and said to everyone: "It seems that going to Lingshan is not that simple."

And these words were fulfilled again after walking up the five hundred stairs.

The road up the mountain looked easy, but just after walking up the [-]th step, the weather changed.The north wind howled, and the wind and snow blocked the road, causing everyone to stagger.

"Isn't this too deliberate?" Daoran thought to himself.

Everyone is mentally prepared to go to Lingshan Mountain to undergo a test, but at the beginning, they simply and rudely locked up everyone's mana, demoted the practitioners to mortals, and then directly used the bad weather. This test is not worthy of this Western bliss The force of the world.

But Buddhism seems to be so simple and rude in doing things. The more you go up, the stronger the wind and snow will be.

Others were even worse than Dao Ran, his limbs were already stiff after holding on for a while in this heavy snowstorm, his face turned blue, it was obvious that he had suffered from severe hypothermia, and he looked close to death.

Dao Ran can hold on, but Ramanu can't.

He was originally a cold-blooded creature, and his mana was so thin that it was almost non-existent. When he was frozen in this wind and snow, his body was already hardened.If there is no way to help him keep warm, he will freeze to death here.

Will the test of Lingshan kill people?

If he freezes to death here, will he return to the foot of the mountain after opening his eyes, only losing the qualification to go up the mountain?Or when you open your eyes, what you see is the horrific eighteenth floor of hell, and then you are almost kicked into it by the hideous ghost next to you?

It seems that the outlook on life and death of Buddhas is different from that of ordinary people, and maybe they will die without saving.

Daoran didn't know which one it would be, but he didn't dare to bet.In other words, he can gamble his own life, but he cannot gamble his friend's life.

Daoran put Ramanu into the monk's robe, temporarily used his body temperature to hold his breath, and then ran wildly in the blizzard, knocking out a passage in the heavy snow.At this time, Daoran couldn't care less about hiding his strength, and had to get out of the blizzard before Ramanu froze to death.

The other Buddhist seekers were startled when they saw this scene. Who would have thought that this little monk could run so fast?
Daoran rushed up hundreds of steps, and finally saw a dilapidated temple around the corner.
