Beginning as a Tantric Academy Monk

Chapter 759 Day

The sun rose as usual, and the convoy, which had been winding its way along the mountain, now stopped at the foot of the mountain. Looking up, one could see the incense smoke rising gently from the third sacred mountain once again.

The response was so close that the sound of the scriptures coming from the mountain could be heard even at the foot of the mountain, and even the deadly "dragon disease" was far away from everyone present. Even though the "Great Buddha" was made of iron, there were also "attendant monks" and "head monks" who were not made of iron here.

Everyone else was resting and not moving forward, but the "attendant monks" were not allowed to rest and were calming their "heads and mouths". The "Great Buddha" found a quiet and dry carpet, took out the "prayer beads" from his sleeve or wrist, and began to chant.

Lu Feng's "seven-day theory" only conformed to Lu Feng's plan and did not conform to the meaning of "Bodhisattva Zhuoge Dunzhu".

Therefore, he had to stop here and wait for the "great monks" who would come to retrieve the "key." Without these "great monks," he couldn't unlock the "hidden treasure" of "Nyima Nadak Tso," and going there would be pointless. So he stayed here until the "great monks" arrived and brought down the "key." "Nyima Nadak Tso" was different from this place; for example, Black Mountain was just a mountain peak! It was simply a matter of walking through this mountain range.

The sacred mountains before us are similar, but the newly appeared "Nyima Nadacuo" is different; it is a mountain range, a great mountain range. It is called the "Heavenly Ladder." People can ascend to the heavens along this mountain range and arrive in the celestial realm. Legend has it that the first "Tsangpo King" was discovered here by "shamans."

The shamans asked who the "King" was, and the "King" said he was a "heavenly god." The "King" was a "heavenly god," not a "son of heaven." He was a heavenly deity who came to rule this place. The shaman then asked how he descended, and the "King" said he came down by rope.

The two "shamans" immediately sensed the extraordinary nature of this "King"—at that time, the king was not called "King." Therefore, at this moment, the two "shamans" escorted the "King" away from there. Thus, "Nyima Nadacuo" is a vast and magnificent place, and there are only a few roads that can traverse it. It's like the "Taihang Mountains" in a normal context, which span several provinces; saying someone is in the "Taihang Mountains" is the same as telling them they are in certain provinces.

Saying it is the same as not saying it at all.

Therefore, "Bodhisattva Zhuoge Dunzhu" stayed here and waited, and made it appear as if he had been staying here for a long time.

Someone is performing a secret incantation here.

Someone took out a piece of salt that had been enchanted from their satchel and scattered it on the ground.

If you could fly high into the sky, you would see these "salts" scattered into a huge "seed word".

It was under these circumstances that "Zhuoge Dunzhu," who had not appeared for a long time, came out from the "carriage".

“Yongzhen Bodhisattva, please come and have a chat with me.”

He invited "Yongzhen Bodhisattva" over, and Lu Feng went over. Naturally, no one else could know about their conversation.

"Master Lu" watched from afar, not in a hurry.

He pulled out a straw mat from somewhere, found a dry and comfortable spot, lay down, put his hands behind his head, looked at the azure sky, and kept muttering to himself, though it was impossible to know what he was "muttering" about.

"Zhan Dui"—this "Bodhisattva" who had once visited this place—was also turning a "prayer wheel".

He didn't speak much along the way.

The scene before him could be described as a "sea change".

The closer he got to the "royal city," the more silent he became. Now that no one spoke to him, "Zhan Dui" picked up many "stones" from the roadside and carved the "Six-Syllable Mantra" on them with his fingers.

They piled it up on one side.

They were piled up to form a "Mani pile".

"Bodhisattva Zhuoge Dunzhu" didn't talk to Lu Feng for long. After a short while, Lu Feng turned back and said, "Let's go, we should go."

Lu Daoren lazily got up from the ground, rolled up the "cool mat" in one go, and without anyone noticing, the "cool mat" had already disappeared into his sleeve. Zhan Dui didn't say a word. The advantage of the three great supernatural beings was that none of them carried much luggage.

You can leave whenever you want.

Before leaving, "Taoist Lu" dug the ground behind him with his toes to plant trees, and Lu Feng accompanied him. The two of them planted trees around the spot, while the other piled up "Mani stones" next to them. They both knew what the other was doing, and since they understood each other perfectly, there was no need to say anything. On the contrary, their conversation just now...

“When the Bodhisattva Zhuoge Dunzhu has received all the people who have brought the keys, he will go to Nyima Nadacuo, where he will be waiting for us.”

He will unlock the hidden treasure once we return from the royal city.

They didn't need my help then.

He'll come back on his own.

These few words naturally contain many meanings, the most prominent of which lies in the words themselves. Since Lu Feng's last conversation with "Zhuoge Dunzhu," "Bodhisattva Zhuoge Dunzhu" remains steadfast and unwavering.

However, he still found a way for Lu Feng.

He was unwilling to obstruct Lu Feng's "path to survival" by allowing him to return.

—This does not mean that there is only one road leading to the "royal city".

If one insists on taking the path, it is true that a path can be made by walking. Lu Feng has a map of the "Temple of the Origin of All Dharmas" in his hand. On this map, one can see a "Great Roc" curled up behind it. However, in many places of this "Great Roc", one can also see traces of mountains.

Zhiguang is a mountain, so naturally it cannot stop these three great supernatural beings, but sometimes the mountains in the "Secret Dharma Domain" are "barriers".

Nobody knows what awaits them after they cross this mountain.

Therefore, at this time, a safe and stable way out is extremely important. Lu Feng understood what "Zhuoge Dunzhu" meant. "Zhuoge Dunzhu" did not believe that there was a problem with the "hidden treasure", but he was willing to believe in "Yongzhen Bodhisattva". Therefore, he was unwilling to cut off Lu Feng's escape route. After Lu Feng knew this, he did not say anything more.

They immediately spurred their horses and set off. After this journey, they had no one to help them on the road ahead, leaving only the three of them. It was unlikely that "Zhan Dui Bodhisattva" would make a move, meaning that only he and "Lu Daoren" remained. Upon hearing this, "Lu Daoren" said, "Let's go, let's go. It's the time when birds can fly freely in the sky and fish can leap freely in the sea."

Look at my demon-slaying sword. When it arrives here at night, it is the time when it thirsts for blood every night. When the moonlight rises, the sound of a dragon's roar also rises from its sword case.

"We'll have to drink blood!"

After saying that, he even hummed some songs.

He seemed even more relaxed.

Seeing this, Lu Feng remained silent, simply sitting on the "head" and swaying with it. Last time, when he focused his attention on the "King" and slightly grasped its essence, he was interrupted by one of the "Three Secret Phases."

Therefore, there was some delay.

Now that no one was disturbing him, Lu Feng had time to devote himself to studying this object. The things brought by these "foreign occultists" were quite inspiring for Lu Feng's research. Lu Feng did not reject them, and this object did indeed have some "mysterious" aspects. Using it as "resources" would also be of some benefit to him.

However, Lu Feng also knew in his heart that as they traveled in this way, apart from the initial troubles they encountered, the journey had become relatively smooth.

However, this "calm and peaceful" situation was the greatest danger for Lu Feng. It was as if someone was hiding in the shadows, clenching their fist tightly, and preparing to throw a punch. The problem was that Lu Feng didn't know who was behind him with their fist raised, nor could he know who was holding the fist and where they were going to strike him.

The greatest deterrent is the knife that has not yet fallen.

These people lurking in the shadows are like knives that haven't yet fallen to Lu Feng.

Therefore, Lu Feng must not reveal any flaws at all. If he even slightly reveals a flaw, then endless slaughter awaits him!
Therefore, Lu Feng was now seated atop the "head," and in his gaze, the "King" transformed into a "perfect" "facet." Lu Feng then noticed that this "facet" was constantly changing; its changes were different from one moment to the next. However, most importantly, regardless of how its facets changed, their total number remained a prime number. But these things were not what Lu Feng cared about. What he was concerned with was this thing's ability to "create something from nothing" endlessly. During this observation, Lu Feng saw some "runes" again. These "runes," arranged in the shape of a "7," became small "faceted gems," but these "gems" were merely points within a larger "gem."

At this moment, Lu Feng actually began to slowly dissect it.

The "wisdom resources" are now burning brightly, along with Lu Feng's own "wisdom".

"I have——"

Lu Feng, standing atop the "head," slowly spoke, "Daoist Lu" was still singing. Hearing his own voice, he pretended not to know anything and didn't even glance at it.

Thus, the three of them went their own way and did their own thing along the way.

In this way, the remaining three people traveled faster than the group of people.

On the sixth day, just as the moon was rising, they arrived at "Nyima Nadacuo".

Lu Feng was still in a daze.

However, both "Lu Daoren" and "Zhan Dui" saw this place.

Under the stars and moon, such magnificent nature, like a hammer, slams into the hearts of those who see it.

Upon seeing this sacred site, "Zhan Dui" clasped his hands together and then performed a grand ceremony of worship. Although time was limited and he could not circumambulate the mountain, he still built a "Mani pile" at the foot of the mountain.

They began to sing "hymns of praise".

This mountain is just so incredibly beautiful.

At this moment, the sun is setting, so the scene of "golden mountains illuminated by the sun" is naturally not to be seen.

However, under the clear sky and starry night, the entire mountain was still breathtakingly beautiful.

Some of it is like a "paradise on earth".

Large amounts of clouds and mist, like light gauze, drifted among these mountains.

The moon seemed to hang on the mountain.

The entire "mountain range" looks like a trident from the outside.

The middle peak is the highest.

Dayue was stuck on the top of the mountain peak, as if she were strung on it.

Then there are two other peaks, one high and one low, but "Nadacuo", a lake containing Buddhist teachings, is not in the very center of this highest "trident".

Behind this "trident" are even higher mountains, and the lake lies between these heights.

It is in these mountains.

The soil is devoid of greenery, with a snow line in the middle, azure glaciers, and even higher up, beneath the biting winds, lies the "mountain top."

There is even a section of mountainous area with "virgin forests".

A mountain contains countless "natural landscapes".

How could such a mountain not be called a "sacred mountain"?

And so, this mountain reappeared here, and a river flowed down from it, gently settling upon the "riverbed" by Lu Feng. Lu Feng's "Dharma nature" was also blocked by the "shepherd old man" before it.

Now, all three of them have reached the foot of the mountain, but the "old herdsman" has not appeared.

The group continued their ascent up the mountain, and when the moon was high in the sky, they came across the lake known as "Nadacuo".

That lake is like the eye of a god.

It also resembles the crown of a Bodhisattva.

It appeared before my eyes in such a clear and pure state.

This is how the entire starry sky is encompassed within this lake. The entire "lake" is a pale blue.

It is truly breathtaking.

But the problem is that this magical place has no land god, no guardian deity, and no male or female gods.

There is nothing.

Even wild animals are nowhere to be seen.

The silence was indescribable.

Even Lu Feng, upon arriving at this place, separated his "thoughts" and built "Mani piles" here.

Then he watched as "Master Lu" planted trees here.

Then they descended the mountain under the moonlight.

Before they had gone very far, Lu Feng, who had been contemplating leading his own horse, suddenly said, "It seems like my mani stones have been knocked over."

Without turning his head, "Master Lu" said, "The gifts I left there were also taken away. A few sword talismans, nothing more."

There were certainly some problems on that mountain, but they were all downplayed.

Descending the mountain in the dead of night, the remaining stretch of wilderness offered them even less of a barrier.

Such a journey, covered in a single day, can be traversed by several people as swiftly as the wind.

It was that afternoon, just as Lu Feng suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I've got it."

"Master Lu" looked at the scene before him with satisfaction and said, "You've got it? I've got it too!"
