Chapter 58: Sincerity is the key to success? (Seeking follow-up reading)
"Master Tian, Master Tian, please save us and drive this lunatic away!"
Two more menial disciples were captured. They were at the Grandmaster level, and no matter how hard they hit Brother Zhong's body, they could not move him at all.
In desperation, they could only draw their daggers.
But I don't know what kind of magic Brother Zhong practiced. When the dagger stabbed him, it only made a "bang bang bang" sound.
Looking at Senior Brother Zhong who was so powerful, Tian Lin simply ignored the cries for help from several menial disciples.
Want him to get rid of Senior Brother Zhong? What nonsense.
Tian Lin did not dare to go up the stone steps at this time, and stood far away from the mountain gate, behind the crowd.
Then Senior Brother Zhong came down the stone steps with two errand disciples, but this time he did not throw the two errand disciples down the mountain.
He stared at the mountain gate, threw the two errand disciples to the ground, and then walked to the mountain gate.
He touched the stone pillars of the mountain gate with his hand and chanted: "The immortals and mortals are forever separated, and no human or ghost can enter."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a woman's voice coming from far away. Then a woman in green clothes ran from the mountain path to the mountain gate. This woman in green clothes was Miss Han.
"Brother Zhong, why are you running around? The people at Jianfeng are going crazy and are looking for you."
Senior Brother Zhong ignored the woman next to him and just hugged the stone pillar and chanted something like 'Immortals and mortals are forever separated, and humans and ghosts are not allowed to enter'.
When Miss Han had torn his sleeves almost to pieces, he finally got annoyed.
He pressed his palm on Miss Han's chest, and Miss Han flew out like a kite with a broken string.
"He is indeed crazy. Let's go down the mountain and report to the stewards first!"
A group of errand disciples were running down the mountain. When Tian Lin was about to leave, he saw a young man in a white Taoist robe "going upstream".
The young man first glanced at Tian Lin and Miss Han who was vomiting blood on the ground, then pointed at Senior Brother Zhong and said:
"Zhong Wuji, you didn't stay in the Jianfeng Quiet Room, but dared to escape without permission while the Shoufeng disciples were out on business. Now you have injured two outer disciples. What crime should you be punished for?"
Senior Brother Zhong ignored the young man, and saw the young man take off an iron plate from his waist and reveal his identity to Zhong Wuji:
"I am Xing Shanping, a disciple of Yuechi Mountain Law Enforcement Hall. Now I want to take you back to the Law Enforcement Hall. What do you say?"
He only saw Miss Han being beaten, and didn't know that several menial disciples also died because of Senior Brother Zhong, so he didn't add the crime of "taking human life lightly".
But just like that, Miss Han on the ground had already climbed up, grabbed the young man's hand holding the iron plate and said:
"Brother Xing, Brother Zhong didn't do it on purpose. He's just not in his right mind."
"He is not in his right mind. That's why we need to restrain him with rules. Otherwise, won't more people suffer?"
After saying this, Xing Shanping slapped the purse on his waist with his right hand, and a snake-like rope came out of the opening of the purse.
He pointed at Senior Brother Zhong in the distance, and the rope instantly flew towards Senior Brother Zhong.
Senior Brother Zhong was acting crazy and allowed the rope to tie him up into a ball.
By the time he realized he was restrained, it was too late to struggle.
Xing Shanping was seen carrying Brother Zhong down the mountain, followed closely by Miss Han who kept begging for mercy.
In a flash, Tian Lin was the only one left at the mountain gate.
'Dong' 'Dong'
The Taoist bell on the mountain just rang at this moment. Tian Lin looked at the fairy ladder towering into the clouds, and then glanced at the mountain gate.
"What does it mean that immortals and mortals are forever separated?"
"If what this madman Senior Brother Zhong said is true, why can't we climb this mountain?" The sound of the Taoist bell was still ringing in the mountains. Tian Lin seemed to see the bell ringer in the pavilion who had been ringing the bell day and night for a thousand years.
He really wanted to ask the bell ringer what the eternal separation between immortals and mortals meant, and whether the ladder to immortality could be climbed or not.
He stood at the mountain gate until it was completely dark.
"Are you hesitant?"
Young Master Shang appeared beside Tian Lin holding a small box. He first looked at the words on the mountain gate, and then looked at the immortal ladder shrouded in the night.
"Immortals and mortals are forever separated, and humans and ghosts are not allowed to enter. Did these eight words make you hesitate?"
Master Shang said with sarcasm in his tone: "What do you think these eight words are hinting at? Are you afraid that the Immortal Ladder is a conspiracy, or that the Immortal Ladder hides great dangers? You are afraid of death and don't want to take such a risk."
Tian Lin frowned and asked Master Shang: "Are you here to give me something, or to chat with me?"
Young Master Shang threw the box in his hand toward Tian Lin and turned away.
But when he reached the mountain path, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Tian Lin and said:
"If someone is not strong enough to climb this ladder, he will die. If someone is not firm in his faith, he will go crazy. Only those who are sincere and brave can reach the top. Tian Lin, is your faith sincere and firm?"
Young Master Shang left with a smile and ran into Mrs. Zhu and Bai Ye who were climbing the mountain.
Bai Ye looked at Master Shang's back in confusion, and finally turned his gaze to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin said, "During the day, Senior Brother Zhong went up the mountain and made a scene, saying that immortals and mortals are forever separated and that this mountain cannot be climbed; but just now, Senior Brother Shang told me that as long as one is sincere and strong enough, this mountain can be climbed."
Bai Ye smiled upon hearing this and said, "He is setting a trap. If you really believe that sincerity will work and ignore your own strength and forcibly climb the mountain, you will surely die. But if you 'give up when faced with difficulties', then in the future, this immortal ladder will probably become your inner demon."
"If what Senior Brother Zhong said is true, then this Immortal Ladder cannot be climbed?"
Mrs. Zhu suddenly said, "He is afraid that Brother Tian will not step onto the Immortal Staircase because of Brother Zhong's reminder. So he told Brother Tian some lies like, as long as you are sincere and have the courage, you can climb the Immortal Staircase, to coax Brother Tian."
The smile on Bai Ye's face slowly disappeared, and he asked Tian Lin, "Master Tian, what are you going to do? Are you going to climb the mountain or not?"
"Come on!"
Tian Lin spoke briefly and to the point, without giving any reason, and went straight to the first platform with the box.
He opened the box on the first platform and took a look at the five antidotes for the Heart-Pain Poison and a sheet of paper with the recipe for the Blood and Fire Poison in the box.
In addition to the antidote for the Heart-Griefing Gu and the formula for the Blood and Fire Poison, there was also a note that read: I am writing to you, brother Tian. Please wait tomorrow, and the Immortal Master King of the Mountain of Beasts will personally deliver the "Wind-Walking Technique" to you.
The beautiful handwriting was obviously written by Shisan Niang. Tian Lin threw the note to the ground and pierced it with his Shining Sun Finger.
Yaoyang Finger belongs to fire, which can not only hurt people but also burn objects.
After the note was pierced, it swayed slightly in the air, then spontaneously combusted and fell to the ground.
Tian Lin spent almost the entire night practicing the Yaoyang Finger.
He is now taking the 'Yaoyang Pill', and the Yaoyang Finger is moving towards the great perfection realm.
However, although Shining Sun Finger is a low-grade spell, it is not so easy to improve.
According to Tian Lin's estimation, he would have no chance of reaching the Great Accomplishment realm unless he spent all his time on taking the Yaoyang Pill in the next half month.
This speed of cultivation was considered genius by others, but in Tian Lin's opinion, the time was still not enough.
The next morning, Tian Lin took a short nap and then practiced at noon, but he did not see the so-called Senior Brother Wang coming up the mountain until midnight.
