Under One Person: My Name is Wan Jing Zhenjun

Looking at the towering gate before him, Wang Xiao clearly sensed that a portion of the illusory image of Mount Heng in his mind had solidified.

This change may seem insignificant, but its actual significance is great, because from this moment on, the progress of acquiring supernatural powers has increased from 0% to 1%.

almost……

Wang Xiao thought to himself.

At the current pace, he should be able to activate his second supernatural power before sunset today.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiao turned around and looked at his younger brother and the others.

Actually, although there were few people climbing Mount Heng today, there were still some. However, because Wang Xiao took an unconventional route and did not take a bus from the Hanging Temple but chose to walk, they avoided the other tourists.

So much so that now, he only has Wang Ye and his own group of bodyguards behind him.

Right now, the only one who's truly exhausted like a dog is his younger brother, Wang Ye.

After all, Li Ka's group of bodyguards were all superhumans. Although their combat abilities were hard to say, their physical fitness was definitely far beyond that of ordinary people. They climbed the mountain for two hours without even breaking a sweat.

Even Wang Xiao himself, because his body had been nourished by the ancestral temple, didn't feel very tired along the way.

Seeing Wang Ye hunched over, panting with his hands on his knees, Wang Xiao walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder. "How are you? Are you alright?"

Wang Ye paused for a moment, then looked at Wang Xiao with his dead fish eyes.

He didn't speak, but Wang Xiao could already tell what he meant from his eyes.

And indeed, that was the case; Wang Ye was in a terrible mood at that moment.

To give an analogy, it's like you're walking down the street, and someone runs towards you and stabs you. You collapse, clutching your wound, blood still gushing out, and your friend runs up to you and asks, "Are you alright?"

Wang Ye: "How shameless of you!"

Wang Ye took a deep breath and asked with a forced smile, "Brother, are you faking your illness?"

Wang Xiao was startled. How could this kid see that?

"You don't have liver cancer, you have mouth cancer, right? What kind of person can talk so infuriatingly!" Wang Ye said quietly.

Wang Xiao suddenly realized that he had been overthinking things.

Then he coughed, "Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about? If there's nothing else, let's hurry up and go. We've only just reached the entrance; who knows how long it will take to get to the top of the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye collapsed to the ground, his eyes reddening. "I can't go on, I can't walk anymore, Third Brother, I really can't. How about we go back and take the cable car? I really can't climb any further."

Upon seeing this, Wang Xiao couldn't help but chuckle.

No matter how powerful Master Wang becomes in the future, he's still just a teenager in middle school right now...

After chuckling, he didn't press Wang Ye, but nodded. "Since you don't want to climb anymore, Third Brother has another idea. Do you want to hear it?"

Upon hearing that they didn't have to climb anymore, Wang Ye's eyes lit up. "What's the solution?"

Wang Xiao glanced at Li Ka beside him, and Li Ka immediately understood, walking directly to Wang Ye and squatting down.

"Fourth Young Master, come on up, I'll carry you up the mountain."

Wang understood.

Wang was also amused.

After watching Li Ka carry Wang Ye on his back, Wang Xiao wiped the sweat from his brow, turned around, and said, "Let's go."

"Yes," the others replied.

After withdrawing his gaze, Wang Xiao led the group forward, passing through Xuanwu Lake and Beiyue Temple before officially beginning their ascent.

And with his departure, it took another hour to climb the mountain.

When the group arrived at the Zhenwu Temple at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, Wang Ye had Li Ka put him down and then followed Wang Xiao inside.

Surprisingly, the Zhenwu Temple at this time was not as magnificent as it was twenty years later; instead, it was in a state of disrepair.

Although the framework of the palace is still there, the doors and windows are long gone, the walls are peeling, and the wooden beams are eroded by wind and rain.

As the group entered, they discovered that the courtyard was overgrown with weeds, with broken bricks and tiles scattered everywhere, and even the side rooms and the mountain gate were completely dilapidated.

Besides, the situation inside the temple was even worse. When everyone went in, they found it completely empty. Even the statues and inscriptions were gone, and the entire temple was in a state of disrepair, with no one taking care of it.

Upon seeing this scene, even the king was taken aback.

"Third Brother, how did this place become so dilapidated? There are so many Taoist temples in the mountains, doesn't anyone care about them?"

Wang Xiao glanced around at the surroundings, recalled the records in the documents, and sighed, "The situation here is rather complicated. It's not that they don't want to get involved, it's that they can't."

"What do you mean?" Wang Ye asked, puzzled. "What do you mean by 'can't manage'? Does it mean we don't have the money?"

Wang Xiao shook his head. "According to historical records, this temple was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution."

The king fell silent.

The two of them tacitly avoided bringing up the topic again and instead headed up the mountain.

In fact, once you reach Zhenwu Temple, you've reached the foot of Hengshan Mountain. So you could say that once you get here, you've already completed half of the journey through Hengshan.

At the same time, about half of the mountain in Wang Xiao's mind had been lit up, and it looked like he was about to activate the second supernatural power.

Seeing this, Wang Xiao couldn't help but feel hopeful.

The divine power of Mount Tai, the Ancestral Court, brought him powerful healing abilities. What will this divine power from Mount Heng bring him?

Without thinking any further, Wang Xiao immediately led everyone to start climbing the mountain again.

After passing through Zhenwu Temple, the entire mountain climbing route officially becomes steps.

Another hour passed, and Wang automatically climbed onto Li Ka's back.

During this time, Wang Ye looked at Wang Xiao, who was still climbing towards the top of the mountain despite being covered in sweat, and asked him with some confusion.

"Third Brother, why do you insist on climbing the mountain by yourself?" Wang Ye looked at Wang Xiao, then at the other bodyguards following behind him. "If you just want to climb the mountain or enjoy the scenery, can't your brothers carry you? Is your current physical condition really suitable for such strenuous mountain climbing?"

Listening to Wang Ye's words, Wang Xiao actually understood very well.

Although on the surface Wang was asking him why he was so insistent on climbing mountains, in reality, the kid was genuinely worried that something might happen to him due to the high-intensity climbing.

Wang Xiao, panting, did not immediately answer Wang Ye's question. Instead, he walked up another twenty steps before calmly speaking.

"Xiao Ye, do you think Tang Sanzang and his disciples were unaware of the hardships they faced on their journey to the West to obtain the Buddhist scriptures?"

Wang was taken aback. "How could they not know? Along the way, there were not only monsters but also bandits. If it weren't for Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang would probably have been eaten long ago. Under such circumstances, how could they not know the danger?"

Wang Xiao nodded. "Didn't Tang Sanzang and his disciples know that Sun Wukong could somersault 108,000 li in a single leap?"

Wang was stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

Seeing Wang Ye deep in thought, Wang Xiao smiled and said, "They naturally knew that, but they still chose to take this path step by step."

because……

This is what spiritual practice is all about...
