606 Leaving the Carriage in the Wilderness and Heading to the Mounds (2/2)

”There is still another thing that I can't figure out. Why were we able to rush out of the world in the chessboard?”

Ning Que was very confused.

Sangsang had already believed in their miraculous encounter and thought of another thing. Her face was slightly pale as she said, ”If the array linked the Lanke Temple with Xuankong Temple, then, we must be...”

Ning Que looked at the grey bark and lush leaves of the Bodhi tree in the distance. He said with a grave expression, ”Indeed, we should be near Xuankong Temple.”

The Big Black Horse was just feeling exhilarated having escaped death. It kicked its front hooves lightly against the black soil, wanting to see if it could find anything tasty like the yellow fruit to reward itself. It suddenly heard the voices carried from the carriage. His ears pricked up in fear and his body stiffened.

Because of their previous encounter in Lanke Temple, the monk in kasaya had made an indelible impression on him. To be more exact, he was extremely terrifying. That monk was from Xuankong Temple. To the Big Black Horse, any monk from Xuankong Temple was scary. Now that it had come to Xuankong Temple, it was just as seeking death!

The Big Black Horse forcibly suppressed the fear in its heart. It did not dare to whine, but turned around sneakily, preparing to run in the other direction. However, when it had turned around, it suddenly discovered that the scenery in all directions was almost identical. It did not know where Xuankong Temple was and which direction it should escape?

Ning Que placed Sangsang on the blankets carefully and walked out of the carriage. He shaded his eyes with his hands and looked up into the sky. He looked up seriously for a long while without saying anything.

The Big Black Horse was extremely anxious. How could Ning Que still be in the mood to admire the star-filled skies at a time like this? Looking at the glacier-like sun, it was obviously daytime. How could there be stars?

”Why have we not seen it?” Ning Que said in confusion, ”Could it be that the array doesn't lead to Xuankong Temple? But there was obviously something strange with that Bodhi tree.”

The Big Black Horse's eyes brightened as it was filled with pride for its owner. Ning Que had thought that Xuankong Temple would be on the legendary Xuankong Island. So they would not have to worry if they mapped their journey by looking up at the sky.

Ning Que looked at the tiny mound in the distance. There was a smattering of green on it. He kicked the Big Black Horse's butt lightly, signaling it to walk in that direction to check it out.

The Big Black Horse wriggled its butt in annoyance. It was not unhappy that Ning Que had kicked his butt, for it was used to it already. However, it felt that Ning Que's decision was a little rash. In a place like the Wilderness, anything green was dangerous. Ning Que was someone who had killed the Horse Gang in the Wilderness in the past, how could it not know this?

Ning Que knew what the horse was thinking about, and he said in an irritated manner, ”Do you think Xuankong Temple is on top of that mound? It's such a small mud mound, and you can't even put an incense burner on it. I want to see how a temple could appear on it.”

The Big Black Horse thought that Ning Que did make sense, and perhaps its mind had been muddled by fear. Ning Que was indeed his master, for he could still remain so calm after a brush with death.

The wheels rolled, and the black horse carriage drove towards the green mound in the distance.

Ning Que was still calm at the beginning. However, his expression turned solemn gradually as he discovered something odd.

At the Big Black Horse's speed, the little mound seemed extremely far. However, it wouldn't take them too long to reach it. However, they have traveled some distance, but the little mound still seemed far away.

Ning Que grew wary. He lifted the curtains and prepared to get the Big Black Horse to stop.

The Big Black Horse had already stopped. Its eyes were filled with terror, and its thick lips were tightly locked. It did not dare to reveal its great white teeth that it was very proud of because it did not even dare to breath.

Ning Que saw what laid before the horse carriage and stiffened. He was so shocked that he couldn't breathe.

The Wilderness was about a few dozen feet before the black horse carriage. It suddenly fell steeply, forming a steep cliff. The terrain in the Wilderness was extremely flat, so one would not be able to see the sudden drop until they reach the cliff.

The sudden appearance of a cliff in the wild was indeed weird. However, what made Ning Que and the Big Black Horse so surprised that they did not even dare to breathe was not the cliff.

This cliff was extremely wide and spread across in four directions in front of the Wilderness. It seemed to be endless and extended into the sky before coming together again. It formed a pit that was extremely large and deep beyond imagination.

Ning Que stared at the shocking image before him and felt an intense feeling. Even if he placed the whole of Chang'an into the pit, he would not be able to fill it!

He once visited the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine and was shocked by the grand buildings that were built by the Desolate Man thousands of years ago. However, compared with this pit, the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine was but just a hut!

Right in the middle of the pit, stood an extremely majestic mountain peak. The peak seemed to be as tall as the highest peak of Min Mountain. However, the extreme depth of the pit made the peak look like a small protrusion from the ground!

The majestic mountain peak in the pit was at least a dozen miles away from the black horse carriage, which was at the side of the pit. The lush greenery on the peak was the green mound that Ning Que had seen earlier!

If someone could look down from high above the vast Western Wilderness, the peak in the pit would probably like a delicately designed bonsai. However, this large-scaled bonsai that had appeared in the mortal realm would definitely shock anyone who saw it for the first time.

Ning Que and the Big Black Horse were stunned, but they were not in the mood to admire or worship it. This was because several yellow temples were nestled in the magnificent peak inside the pit.

The temples in the peak was probably Xuankong Temple.

It could only be Xuankong Temple.
