Upon seeing Fangzheng about to head out, Red Boy immediately chased after him and exclaimed, "Master, it's fine if you don't want me to head out. Why don't you take me out for a walk? Who knows, I might recall it when I'm in a good mood. "
Fangzheng thought about it. Since he had nothing to do and he could not recall anything by staying on the mountain, he decided to head out for a walk.
He opened the Formless Door once again.
At that instant, Fangzheng felt a heat wave inundate him. The heat wave was scorching hot, without a hint of moisture! At the same time, he heard the neighing of horses and people shouting. Amidst the chaos, he seemed to hear a child cry, "Thirsty …"
Fangzheng watched carefully and listened for any useful information. He did not want to be unable to find the mission target and have to walk back to Mt. One Finger. That would be fun.
The darkness in front of him vanished as Fangzheng realized that he had appeared in a barren mountain. It was a true barren mountain. There were no tall trees on the mountain. At most, there were some shrubs. Most of it was bare sand and rocks. It was an earthen yellow color. When the wind blew, it filled the sky with dust and sand.
The scorching sun in the sky roasted the land. The entire world seemed to be a furnace. Apart from heat, there was only heat! Fangzheng was on a muddy path in a col. The mountain path was terrible. It was fine if there were no railings on either side, but due to the sand, it was easy to slip.
Fangzheng looked down and saw an endless abyss. If he were to fall down, he would likely die without the White Lunar Monk Robe protecting him.
At that moment, a gust of wind blew. Fangzheng subconsciously narrowed his eyes to prevent the sand from entering his eyes.
However, Red Boy, who was just about to say something, felt miserable.
Pui!
Red Boy opened his mouth and a mouthful of sand entered his mouth. He spat it on the ground and grumbled, "What the hell is this place? Flaming Mountain? "
Fangzheng said, "Perhaps, but I don't have your mother's banana fan now."
Red Boy curled his lips, "Master, this place isn't fun. Let's return."
"It's not that easy to return. After entering the Formless Door, let's look around in peace." Fangzheng was extremely dissatisfied with the environment in front of him. He had come out to avoid the heat, but he ended up in an even hotter place. It was like leaving a wolf's den and entering a tiger's mouth! Fortunately, he wore the White Lunar Monk Robe. It was warm in the winter and cool in the summer, so he did not suffer. However, when he looked at the scenery before him, only one thought would arise in his mind — thirst!
His heart was thirsty, so was his body. However, the feeling of not having any water to drink made Fangzheng uncomfortable.
Red Boy pursed his lips and said, "Master, why don't you return my power to me, and I'll fly you back?"
Fangzheng was tempted when he heard that …
"Let me remind you that if you fail to complete this mission, you can return to One Finger Monastery, but you will not be able to use the Formless Door in the future. Once it is used, it will send you over. If the target of the mission disappears, all of the functions of the Formless Door will disappear and it will become an ordinary door. "The system immediately reminded.
With a pail of cold water poured over him, Fangzheng immediately lost all thoughts of returning. He reprimanded him with a serious expression, "Jingxin, the most important thing to do is to finish what you started. Since you are here, how can you just leave like that? Let's go. Let's continue forward. It won't be too late to return after we do what needs to be done. "
Red Boy rolled his eyes. He swore that he had clearly seen the darn baldy's heart stir, but he had suddenly changed his mind and reprimanded him … Red Boy really wished to slap Fangzheng, but unfortunately, he was no match for him. All he could do was obediently follow.
The mountain road's eighteen bends was probably referring to this place. The duo walked in twists and turns for more than an hour before they finally arrived at the back of the mountain. Looking far into the distance, they saw a village with smoke billowing from chimneys …
At that instant, Fangzheng and Red Boy felt their stomachs rumble as their throats turned dry!
Red Boy said, "Master, I'm thirsty. Return me my divine powers. I'll get some water to drink. I can even fly you over … "
Fangzheng was indeed a little tempted, but on second thought, he shook his head and said, "How would you know the bitterness of the mortal world if you don't experience it? How can we only enjoy ourselves when we cultivate? Let's go down the mountain. There should be water to drink when we reach the village. "
Red Boy rolled his eyes. He couldn't figure it out. The darn baldy could clearly suffer less, so why did he insist on suffering? Wasn't he just asking for trouble? He followed behind Fangzheng and tried his best to shrink into Fangzheng's shadow, seeking that tiny bit of coolness … Even though the coolness was useless to him. As a demon king, he could easily withstand this bit of heat. However, the discomfort he felt in his heart was truly unbearable! That was true torture!
At the village entrance, two children were squatting on a mound of soil, constantly licking their chapped lips as they looked into the distance.
"Brother Dacheng, when will the water delivery team arrive?" The other child played with the soil in his hand, not minding it for being dirty.
The taller boy squinted his eyes and tried his best to avoid the blinding sunlight. He looked into the distance and tiptoed, but all he could see was an endless mountain. He could not see anything else. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. Logically speaking, they should be here soon."
"Will they not come today?" asked the boy.
"That can't be … They come every day," said the boy without much confidence.
"Brother Dacheng, do you think those big brothers and sisters will bring us sweets? Last time, a big sister gave me a lollipop. It was really sweet. After eating the sweets, there was a tiny stick. I still have it. Also, the wrapping paper on it is really pretty, "said the boy as though he was presenting a treasure.
"Look at how smug you are. I have one too. I have a few more. Eh? Someone is coming! "the boy suddenly exclaimed just as he was speaking.
The boy immediately stood up and tiptoed to look into the distance. Indeed, he saw two people walking out from behind a mound of soil. One of them was dressed in white with a bald head. The other was wearing a red dudou and his butt was bare. From his height and looks, he was about the same age as the boy on the mound.
"They aren't from the water delivery team," said the boy in disappointment.
"The two of them are really odd. The man is dressed in ancient attire like Teacher mentioned. The child is even wearing a dudou … How odd, "said Dacheng.
"Brother Dacheng, are they ghosts? Didn't Grandpa say that zombies wear ancient attire? "
"Idiot, Grandpa also said that zombies are afraid of sunlight. Since they aren't afraid, it means they aren't zombies. They are probably … probably … lost, right? "This was the first time Dacheng was encountering such a group.
As the two spoke, the monk had already arrived in front of them.
