Chapter 004: Leaving the Mountain
With one shot of the evil eye, Ni Kuntian's life span was reduced by 10 days, and the invisible pupil power instantly fell on the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva.
When the power of the pupils was added to her body, the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva cried out in surprise, and the fat on her body trembled. With a buzzing sound, an invisible gust of wind burst out to counteract the power of the pupils.
But Ni Kun just narrowed his eyes, and a series of bone-breaking sounds were heard.
The huge head of the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva suddenly twisted 360 degrees, then leaned back and fell to the ground. The big hand that was holding Ni Kun's neck also lost all its strength.
Ni Kun pried her fingers apart, dropped to the ground, gasped for a while, glanced hatefully at the huge corpse of the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva that remained in a cross-legged position, and his mouth twitched with pain.
Another ten days of life gone!
Taking a look at the personal panel, I see that my life span is only 17,613 days left, and it is still decreasing as time goes by.
"Liu Sheng Piao Xu, Great Joy Female Bodhisattva, Sunflower Manual, and the remnants of the Moon Worship Sect, there is something strange in this world! Unfortunately..."
Unfortunately, the Bodhisattva of Great Joy did not reveal any more news.
What Ni Kun was most concerned about was whether there was any organization behind the Great Joyful Bodhisattva and Liu Sheng Piaoxu, but the Great Joyful Bodhisattva did not mention a word about it.
"How hateful! He is so tight-lipped. He refuses to reveal a single word to a dying man who is in his hands..."
Ni Kun spat, then used the goose-feather knife to fiddle with the body of the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva for a while, trying to find some clues.
But this time, only one brocade bag was found, and inside it were only three wax-sealed pills.
"Going out to kill someone with nothing but pills... well, that's considered professional."
Ni Kun gritted his teeth helplessly, put the pill into his purse, looked around the training grounds full of corpses, and couldn't tell which corpse was the "master" in this body, so he could only say to the corpses:
"I have avenged your murder and the destruction of your family, and this can be considered as a closure of cause and effect."
First, he was slaughtered a thousand times because of this body, which was considered as "repaying with death" a thousand times. Now he personally killed two murderers. No matter how great the karma is, he should pay it back.
He quickly left the training ground, searched the room hastily , found the kitchen, stuffed a stack of pancakes and some sweet cakes into his bag, found a gourd, filled it with water, and headed towards the manor gate.
He wanted to search for more clues in the manor.
But the biggest secret of this "Moon Worshiper's remnant", the key to the so-called "secret treasure house" is hidden on him, so what else is worth searching for?
Although he knew almost nothing about this inexplicable world and didn't know where to go after leaving the mountain, he had to leave this place of trouble first, lest the organization behind Liu Sheng Piao Xu and Da Huan Xi Nu Bodhisattva send people again, which would shorten his life in vain.
As for the future, we can only make plans after we are out of danger temporarily.
Arriving at the gate of the manor, Ni Kun looked through the wide-open gate at a winding path extending into the mountains, feeling somewhat hesitant.
I heard from the Great Joyful Bodhisattva that this manor is located deep in the mountains.
Looking around from a high place, one can indeed see only dense mountains and forests, numerous peaks, and deep valleys, without a single sign of human habitation.
Ni Kun didn't know how deep in the mountains he was. He felt a little nervous when he thought about having to walk out along the winding mountain path hidden in the forest.
"How about we look for some transportation?"
Well, even if there are means of transportation, I think they would be donkeys, horses, etc.
He doesn't know how to ride a horse, so even if he really finds a donkey or a horse, wouldn't that be courting death if he rode on the rugged mountain road?
Even if you can be reborn after death, you can't waste your life in vain.
"I only have forty-eight years left to live. I can't afford to die!"
After hesitating for a while, Ni Kun gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, tightened his bag, held the knife in one hand and the water gourd in the other, and strode out of the manor.
The mountain path is bumpy and winding, making it difficult to walk on.
Ni Kun was in such good shape and was a pampered young master that after walking for a short while he was already out of breath, sweating all over and his feet aching slightly.
"You're said to be a remnant of the Moon Worshipers, but you haven't even practiced martial arts. It looks like you've never exercised before. You're so tired after just walking a short distance on the mountain..."
Looking up at the mountain road that seemed to have no end, and then looking back at the quiet mountain villa that was still in sight, Ni Kun complained in his heart, stopped to take a sip of water, rested for a while, and continued on his way.
As a young man who was staying up late to work and enjoying the benefits of 996 before traveling through time, Ni Kun is naturally not afraid of hardship.
However, no matter how hard it was, my physical condition after the crossing did not allow me to walk on the mountain path for a while before having to rest for a while. At dusk when the sky was filled with scorching clouds, I climbed to the top of a mountain and looked back. Hey, I could still barely see the shadow of the villa.
Looking ahead again, there are still vast mountains and I don’t know where to go.
It's getting dark.
The mountain wind grew stronger, and the roars of various animals were heard in the wind, and even a few wolf howls could be heard faintly.
Looking in the direction where the wolf howl came from for a while, Ni Kun's face looked a little solemn.
"I don't know when I can get out of the mountain. No, we can't walk on the mountain road at night. I, Ni Kun, have a lot of powerful skills. If I get bitten to death by a wolf by accident, it would be really funny..."
He wanted to find a cave to rest, but where could he find one easily?
Besides, any caves with slightly better conditions in the deep mountains and forests have probably been occupied by various ferocious beasts as their nests.
Ni Kun didn't want to lose his life in vain at the hands of wild beasts in the forest, so he found a tree not far from the mountain road that was tall and sturdy enough and a little easier to climb.
He struggled to climb up the tree, found a thick horizontal branch about six or seven meters above the ground, tied himself tightly to the tree with a cloth belt, and then ate two pancakes and a sweet cake with cold water, barely filling his stomach.
After putting away the remaining pancakes and sweet cakes, Ni Kun sat on a horizontal branch, leaned his back against the tree trunk and tried to fall asleep.
Although the branches were thick enough, the trunk was reliable enough, and it was tied securely with cloth straps, Ni Kun always worried that he would fall off the tree during the night. He also heard some shrill or ferocious howls of animals from time to time, so he did not sleep well that night. He was awakened by the cold mountain breeze early the next morning.
When I woke up, I felt dizzy and my whole body ached.
Fortunately, he did not get sick or have a fever, so Ni Kun endured the discomfort, ate a pancake on the tree, drank some water, and then climbed down the tree to continue his difficult journey.
Three days later.
In a valley, Ni Kun was leaning on a wooden stick, looking at the suddenly clear mountain pass in front of him, and almost burst into tears.
He really didn't expect that the journey would be so difficult. It took him four full days before he saw hope of getting out of the mountain.
He didn't sleep well for a single night in these four days.
The food had been eaten up yesterday morning, and he had been walking on an empty stomach for more than a day.
After running out of food, he felt too tired to go out with nothing, so he threw away his goose-feather knife and most of the ten pounds of golden melon seeds in his bag, only putting a small handful in his pocket.
He had fallen many times while crossing mountains and hills, and his clothes were so dirty that the original color could not be recognized. They were also torn in many places by thorns and branches. With his haggard appearance and messy hair, he looked like a disciple of the Beggar Gang.
"Fortunately, the hard times are coming to an end!"
Looking at the mountain pass ahead where there were no more mountains or dense forests, Ni Kun leaned on a stick, boosted his spirits, mustered up his remaining courage, and strode towards the mountain pass.
Walking out of the mountain pass, there is a gentle slope with sparse trees in front of you.
At the bottom of the gentle slope, there is a dirt road running north and south.
Looking at the two deep ruts on the dirt road and some messy hoof prints of varying depths, Ni Kun felt as if his exhausted body was suddenly injected with energy. He shouted excitedly, swung his legs, and ran down the hillside.
Halfway through his run, Ni Kun was suddenly tripped by a grass stem. His feet suddenly went weak and he fell to the ground. He then rolled down the slope involuntarily and couldn't stop.
He had been trekking for several days and had not eaten or drunk anything for more than a day. He was already exhausted. After rolling down the hillside, he felt his limbs were sore and weak, and he was sweating all over. He was unable to stand up for a while and could only lie on the side of the road with his arms and legs spread out, gasping for breath.
My eyelids feel even heavier and I really want to have a good sleep.
"No, I can't sleep... In my current state, if I fall asleep on the side of the road, I'll either get seriously ill or be carried away by a wolf... If a passing flower thief picks up my body, it will be even more of a loss..."
Ni Kun wanted to cheer up, but he was so tired, hungry, and too weak that his eyelids became heavier without him noticing.
"This body is really disappointing. It's so weak. I might as well just cut my own throat with a dagger, die once, and refresh my condition..."
Of course, this is just what I think in my mind.
He really couldn't bring himself to stab himself just to refresh his status.
Just as he was about to fall into a deep sleep.
Ding-a-ling…
He heard a clear sound of bells, which soon stopped near him.
The light in front of Ni Kun dimmed, and two figures stood in front of him, blocking the sunlight.
Then two voices, one female and one male, sounded in turn:
"Road fall?"
“Still alive.”
"A little beggar?"
"Although the clothes are torn, the material is good. He may be a young man in trouble."
"Brother, do you want to save him?"
"We are the bad guys... never mind, since we have met, let's just consider it as luck. It's just a piece of cake anyway, so let's just consider it as accumulating merit for you."
After hearing this, Ni Kun couldn't bear it any longer. He was fearless and unafraid of death , so he simply fell into a deep sleep.
