Chapter 245 Direction
Hui nodded after hearing this, and then said, "Master, when can we reach Mangshan?"
"Are you tired?" asked Abbot Liaoran.
"Yeah." Hui Ting nodded.
They traveled westward for almost a month and didn't know when they would reach Mangshan.
After hearing this, Abbot Liaoran looked at the sky and said, "Then let's rest in the woods ahead."
Soon it was noon, the hottest time of the day. The sun was too strong and the desert was dry. They took a break and set off again after noon.
When Hui heard this arrangement, a subtle smile appeared on her face.
The master has always been strict. If he had to suffer some hardships in normal times, he would not let him give up easily or even say he was tired.
Perhaps this journey to the West was really tiring, so when he complained of being tired, he would occasionally be allowed to rest.
When Shang Chenyi heard that their destination was also Mangshan, he couldn't help but look at them again, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he drove forward together.
Ning Gang and his companions stopped the car at a poplar forest and got out to rest under the trees.
After Abbot Liangran and Hui Ting reached the poplar forest, they stopped to rest under a tree not far from Ning Jian and the others.
After Shang Chen parked the car, he went to Ning Yan and said to him, "Brother Yan, they are also going to Mangshan."
When Huo Yun heard this, he said, "Dad, are they going to the same place as us?"
Ning Yan looked at Huo Yu and said, "Brother Yu, what do you say?"
After hearing this, Huo said, "Let's go and ask."
It was Huo Yu who suggested going to Mangshan.
The reason why he chose to go to Mangshan was because he had stayed in Xiyuan City for some time and heard about it from an old man.
The old man is an elderly storyteller who has been telling stories all his life.
Because he was old and his legs were not as agile as before, teahouses no longer hired him, so he would take a bench and sit under a tree near some busy streets, telling strange stories to those who could not afford to go to a teahouse but were eager to hear new things.
The gentleman who told the story told it in a very interesting way and made the mountain sound very mysterious.
Huo? passed by here and listened out of curiosity.
Mangshan has a mysterious hue in his mouth, because no one has ever come out since they entered it.
The reason why Mangshan is called Mangshan is because there is a legend that there is a giant python circling inside the mountain. The reason why people cannot come out after entering the mountain is because they are eaten by the giant python.
Previously, people from the Ximao Kingdom brought a group of soldiers into the mountain to find out what was going on inside, but they never saw these people come out.
However, the environment in this mountain does give people a different feeling from other places. It feels like a scene in a movie, a bit gray and heavy. Unlike other mountain forests, when the sun shines, you can feel the swaying shadows of the trees, fresh and bright.
Occasionally, fog will appear on the mountain, giving people a feeling of being in a fairyland on earth.
Occasionally, strange noises would be heard, which would hit people's hearts directly, making them feel dull and depressed at first, and then feel suddenly enlightened.
There is a big river near the mountain, and it is said that the source of the river is in Mangshan.
So Huo decided to go to this legendary mysterious place to take a look, maybe they would have some unexpected gains.
If possible, they would naturally like to stay, if not, they would look for somewhere else.
Of course, he would not easily choose to go into the mountains.
Now, he was a little surprised to hear that these two monks, one big and one small, were also going to Mangshan. Could it be that there really was something mysterious about Mangshan?
So he decided to go and find out what was going on.
Then he took Ning Yan and his two sons, as well as Ye Buli and Shang Chenyi, to where the abbot and the others were.
Because the sand was too hot, they could not sit on the ground to rest, so Abbot Liaoran stood under a poplar tree, took out his water bag and drank some water.
After arriving at the place, Huo Yu introduced himself and then took out a can of pickles and some dry food, handed it to the abbot, and said, "What should I call you?"
Upon hearing this, Hui accepted the gift from Huo Yu and, after thanking him, replied, "This is my master. You may call him Abbot."
"Amitabha, thank you for your kindness." Abbot Liaoran said with a slight bow.
Huo Yetai bowed and said, "Where is the abbot going?"
"I am going the same way as you, the donor." Abbot Liaoran answered concisely.
Huo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this. He had never told this person that he was going to Mangshan. How did this person know that he was going the same way as him?
Then Huo asked, "Why did the abbot go here?"
Abbot Liaoran looked up at the sky, then looked at Huo Xi and said, "When the five stars gather, the world will be in chaos. Only Mangshan can clear the clouds and reveal the sun."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Invisibly, were they on the right track?
They had never been to Mangshan, and they had no idea what was happening there. Could they really survive? With the world in chaos, when would peace return?
Huo Yu thought for a moment before saying, "Abbot, would you be willing to go with us?"
"Thank you for your kindness." Abbot Liangran clasped his hands together and said with a slight bow.
"Master, since you are willing to go with me, please follow me to the car," said Huo.
Then the group walked towards where they parked their car.
On the way, Huo Yun walked up to Hui Ting, looked up and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Hui Ting." Hui Ting raised one hand in front of his chest and answered politely.
"Did they say they would shave your hair?" Huo Yun asked again.
"Master shaved my head."
"Do you need to recite scriptures every day?" Ning Jing asked curiously.
"need."
"Then can you recite the spell to tighten the headband?" Huo Yun asked.
"What is the golden hoop?" Hui Ting asked.
After that, Ning Jing and Huo Yun started chatting with Hui Ting.
The three children walked slower and slower. The adults had already arrived, but they were still on the way.
Since they were going the same way, Huo and the others didn't stay here for long. They set off directly after dinner.
After that, they groped their way forward in the desert without stopping for almost seven or eight days. After experiencing countless attacks of bad weather and the persecution of mosquitoes and poisons, they finally saw a relatively high mountain. They could even see snow on the top of the mountain.
Seeing this, everyone stopped the car and started to rest.
After walking in the desert for so many days, they finally saw a terrain different from the desert. This also means that perhaps by crossing this mountain, they may be able to get out of the desert.
After getting off the bus, everyone found a relatively flat place at the foot of the mountain and planned to have lunch there before setting off again.
Suifeng and General Xu took a few people to check the surrounding terrain. They wanted to find a way down the mountain.
Not long after, Suifeng and the others came back.
