"Sigh..."
"Lao Gong choked on a breath of cold air and said, 'Wow! It's a stroke of luck! Good job!'"
My heart calmed down slightly as the monks behind did not catch up at the moment, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.
The site of immortality cultivation will not see any major incidents; Tang Wu and Liu Taiyin will also manage to stabilize the situation in the end.
The effects of the summoning spell for the Four Divine Beings are gradually depleted, and a sense of exhaustion has come over me, causing my steps to slow down.
The sky gradually brightened, and Lao Gong vanished into thin air.
I have no idea how far away those lamas are, and I'm also unaware of my current location; I can only keep heading downhill.
I tried to take out my phone several times, but no one was calling.
Just as I was about to put away my phone, the vibration hummed loudly. It was a call from Wu Jinluan!
After I answered, Wu Jinlan's tone was slightly anxious.
"Lu Daozheng, where are you?!"
I remain silent, without responding.
"You first come back! There must be misunderstandings about many things. I've heard from others, and these misunderstandings must be cleared up. I absolutely believe in you. The people from the Leiping Temple have contacted the Shenshuang elder, and he is coming to the Immortal Road venue."
"How Worrying, the True Immortal of Heaven, and the True Immortal of Silk, are still in battle with the three true immortals of Juqu Mountain. This will surely lead to mutual destruction!"
"You must return! Only then can there be order to the whole situation!"
Wu Jinluan was especially anxious.
"I believe that if we reason, there will certainly be a big situation. If we don't reason, there will not only be no big situation but it will also make the situation more chaotic. I am not there, and the first elder brother will know how to handle it." I opened my mouth at last.
"But Master Luo..." Wu Jinlan was about to speak.
However, I suddenly heard another voice ringing out.
"Guan Liangfei, Mao System, Mao Su, you should stop now!"
This, it turned out to be the voice of Tang Wu!
I couldn't tell if this was truly the time for the others to stop, or if Tang Wu heard Wu Jinluan's phone call and deliberately intervened at this time, allowing me to hear it.
Whether the former or the latter, I should not have climbed up the mountain anymore.
I hung up on Wu Jinluan and turned off my phone.
It was indirectly confirmed that the others were okay, and I felt even more at ease.
I didn't realize it, but I had reached the foot of the mountain.
As I stepped out, I saw a national highway.
The blinding sunlight brought a sense of comfort, slightly easing the discomfort.
There was a car parked by the roadside.
The car was very old, it was the hearse that I had seen earlier at the Five Lamasery.
It was also the same car used by the lamas.
At this moment, the car door opened.
From the car, a person stepped down, and it turned out to be another monk!
His clothes were bulky and heavy, but he was very thin.
The prominent eye sockets, brow bones, cheekbones, and the bones on his forehead made him seem no different from a skeleton.
My face changed, and then it changed again.
My heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
How coincidental! I've been running for so long, and through a series of misfortunes, I've run into another lama...
And to my surprise, this time there were four of them! Three were looking for me on the mountain, and one was guarding the rear...
The aftereffects of the summoning spell had not dissipated, and my strength was only a third of what it was in full bloom. I withdrew my Gao Tiansword and Gao Tienailing, and my eyes grew cold.
There's no point in running; on this road, I can't escape. The view is too open.
Moreover, his energy field had locked onto me, unlike the lamas on the mountain who were plotting to take my head, giving me a chance to escape.
As long as I tried to leave, he would surely strike, and he would definitely hit me.
Just as I was preparing to act first, the monk suddenly bowed, placed his hands together in prayer, and recited a Buddhist mantra. However, I couldn't understand what he was saying.
In my heart, I was thinking that this monk seemed to be more courteous than the other ones.
However, showing respect before taking action was just superficial politeness.
"Tianfu Spiritual Beings, Diyu Martial Arts!"
Just as the incantation was uttered, the monk lifted his head and still made no moves to strike. Instead, he spoke in awkward Mandarin, "Monk A Gong sent me to follow people from Hei Cheng Temple until this place. Upon sensing the Scripture here, I learned that Daoist master will descend from this point, so I have been waiting here to help Daoist master escape."
The incantation was abruptly cut off!
My eyes widened suddenly, and my skin bristled all over my body.
Monk A Gong!
Is this... someone from the Five Lamasery?!
I looked up at the sky and realized that the position he was in was actually in the south!?!
The so-called "làojiá" that Lao Gong spoke of.
There is no "falling hexagram" here at all!
Perhaps the fire was placed there by the three Black City Temple lamas to influence and hinder my steps as an external factor?
"The scent of blood, full of sorrow, permeates the mountain. The evil spirits of Hei Cheng Temple are about to follow, so please get into the car. There are talismans inside that can cut off their perception of you. After seeing Monk A Gong, everything will be clear." The monk spoke in a humble manner, inviting me again.
I took a step forward and walked up to him, then got into the car directly.
The monk returned to the car, closed the door, and there was another person in the passenger seat who was somewhat familiar.
I recognized it at once. When my parents and I left the area of Dazhou in Tibet, wasn't it this person's hearse that we rode in?!
Monk A Gong actually found a familiar person to drive, was he worried about me misunderstanding?
"Thank you, senior monk for offering your help." I bowed my hands and greeted the monk with a bow.
"Tumaonang." The monk bowed his hands together and returned the gesture.
The car started and moved forward. Exhaustion washed over me, making my breathing heavy.
However, my worried heart was finally put at ease.
But I was even more silent.
So, this means I'm going to meet Monk A Gong?
I originally planned to go to Juqu Mountain and divert the trouble, but it was now completely invalid.
This is like stepping out of a trap...
For Four Regulations Mountain, is it good or bad?
The car was very quiet, and there were many talisman papers pasted all over the place, as well as many wind bells hanging, making a jingling sound. It did not feel noisy at all, but rather made people more calm.
"Why would Monk A Gong know that I have a problem? Why is he looking for me? What does he want?"
I looked at the monk.
The monk did not answer me, but the sunlight poured into the car through the window, shining on his thin cheeks, making him look even more like a skeleton.
After a moment of silence, I asked again, "What is your name? Where are we going?"
"Jinjia."
"Five Lamasery."
The monk finally spoke.
The monk just ignored my previous question.
I did not ask again because I knew he had heard me but just did not want to say.
After a moment of contemplation, I dialed my dad's phone.
In the midst of the beeping sounds, the phone was ringing without anyone picking it up.
It shouldn't be this time of day that no one picks up the phone.
After hanging up, I dialed my mom's number, and she answered quickly, asking me what was wrong.
I just said that there was nothing big, it's just that I want my dad to take the phone, I have something to ask him.
While speaking, I glanced at the monk Jinjia. He did not hinder my action, but instead closed his eyes and seemed to be cultivating his spirit.
My mom seemed hesitant, saying, "Your dad is busy with some business. You can tell me what you need first, and I'll talk to him when he gets back."
A hint of doubt rose in my heart, what kind of business is it?
The situation of my family now should be hidden, there should be nothing big for my dad to do.
