Playing the male antagonist in a melodramatic novel is fine for a bit of fun.

"Didn't you say before that there was a mountain peak that might help your physical condition? Let's go there, and I'll prove it to you," Chen Xin said.

Dou Wen's expression changed: "No, people will die if we go deeper into that area."

"Moreover, a very mysterious and powerful group has its eyes on that place, and we cannot take the risk."

She discovered that barren mountain six months ago, when she had already entered the middle three levels of it.

If it weren't for the ability to briefly transform into flames, his legs would have been destroyed.

Having barely escaped, they were then pursued by a group of people, each of whom possessed at least the Ming Jin realm.

I absolutely cannot let Xin Xin go there.

Chen Xin: "I can tell you definitively that's my brother's territory, and I can take you in."

The mountain that Dou Wen mentioned was the barren mountain that his older brother had bought a long time ago.

Because my brother didn't tell everyone what it was for, no one asked, they just went there secretly.

So when Wenwen suggested that this place might solve her health problems, Chen Xin didn't mention that it was a barren mountain that her brother had bought.

Chen Xin had asked Chen Zhou if she could bring people along, but Chen Zhou refused. (Chen Zhou: No one can go in until the Foundation Establishment Pill is ready.)

Dou Wen was somewhat surprised: "That's your brother's mountain?"

Chen Xin nodded: "Yes, because of some things about my brother, I kept this from you."

Dou Wen was not surprised by this; a place that could restore his body must have something extraordinary about it.

Even if she and Xin Xin have a very good relationship, it's normal for her to keep it from her.

As for the group that chased him back then, they were definitely not from the Chen family, because they wouldn't dare to go in.

"Even if it's your brother's mountain, it's still tough to have a group of people watching it. We still can't go over there."

The group of people secretly guarding the mountain couldn't climb it themselves, but they could easily stop me and Xin Xin.

Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask my brother if he has any ideas."

Immediately, Chen Xin dialed Chen Zhou's number.

……

At Taoye Temple, Chen Zhou was carefully examining Zhenyan's eyes.

After examination, Chen Zhou discovered that Zhenyan's eyes were not as effective against ghosts as Zhenyan had claimed.

During Chen Zhou's examination, he was certain that Zhenyan's eyes were capable of seeing the Dharma to a certain extent.

Yes, law.

Throughout Chen Zhou's previous 200-year life, his spiritual practice and research on spiritual practice never ceased.

There is one statement that Chen Zhou strongly agrees with.

Everything in the world is governed by law and reason.

The connection between all things in the world is the interweaving of law and reason.

Zhenyan's eyes were considered quite a talent even in the cultivation world of his previous life; he could easily have reached the Foundation Establishment stage through cultivation.

But in this day and age, he has no chance.

He was born before Chen Zhou came into this world, so he was destined not to enjoy the benefits that the spiritual energy revival could bring.

hum-

Chen Zhou's phone vibrated, and he looked at Zhenyan, who was sitting down: "I'll take this call, and then I'll discuss it with the master in detail."

Zhenyan nodded: "Please feel free to do as you please, Benefactor Chen."

The call connected, and Chen Xin's voice came through: "Brother, can I go to the barren mountain now?"

Chen Zhou naturally knew which desolate mountain Chen Xin was referring to, and immediately said, "Sure, but why the sudden urge to go to a desolate mountain?"

Chen Xin's words were somewhat tentative: "If I take Wenwen to see, it won't be considered cheating, right?"

Chen Zhou chuckled lightly: "You little rascal."

Chen Xin chuckled, knowing that Chen Zhou had agreed: "But I heard from Wenwen that a group of people are watching the barren mountain area. Is it okay to go now?"

Chen Zhou replied, "I've already taken care of it. If you're really worried, you can go home and get a bell from the basement. I left a Grandmaster puppet there, which is enough for you to walk around with impunity."

Chen Xin excitedly expressed her gratitude, saying, "I love you, brother."

Chen Zhou adjusted his tone and said with disgust, "It's disgusting to see our own people like this."

Chen Xin: "I'm going to die!"

Chen Zhou smiled and shook his head: "Send me your friend's photo, and I'll grant her one-time access."

On the other side of the desolate mountain, the access granted to the Chen family members was that they could do whatever they wanted except see the last three levels.

Now that the Foundation Establishment Pill has been taken, the Chen family has full access to the desolate mountain, and can see and enter the last three levels.

Chen Xin: "Access? Is that even a thing?"

Chen Zhou: "Just do as I say, your brother wouldn't lie to you."

Chen Xin: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhou looked at Zhenyan and said, "Master, let's continue."

"After the examination, I discovered that the true function of your eyes is actually to see the Dharma."

"The abilities of supernatural beings and the existence of ghosts are all forms of law."

"The abilities of superhumans are mostly visible, but ghosts are different, which leads you to believe that your ability is simply seeing ghosts."

Zhenyan asked with some doubt: "Dharma?"

Chen Zhou nodded: "You can think of it as a kind of force."

Zhenyan was even more puzzled: "Power?"

Chen Zhou: "It's like a bicycle needs to be pedaled to move; this force produces this movement, and this force is the law."

"However, one thing to note is that forces are reciprocal. The same applies to law; faith is such a thing."

Zhenyan vaguely understood, but subconsciously overlooked the fact that the effects of law are mutual: "So those ghosts can also be understood as being composed of some kind of law, which is why I can see them."

Chen Zhou nodded: "With your eyes, you can actually see faith, you just haven't noticed it before."

With that, Chen Zhou stood up: "Let's go, come with me."

Chen Zhou brought the mantra to the Buddha statue, and his voice rang in the mantra's ear: "Next, I will shield you from all external influences. You must diligently seek the Dharma yourself."

Before the truth could be answered, all sounds around disappeared, leaving only solitude and silence.

Zhenyan looked around and realized that none of the tourists who had been there just moments before were now in sight, not even Chen Zhou, who had brought him there.

After a moment of surprise, Zhenyan began to observe the Buddha statue, which he was already very familiar with.

He had been at Taoye Temple since he was a novice monk, and he could see the Buddha statues every day.

He was very familiar with every part of the Buddha statue.

But at this moment, the Buddha statue, which was usually only solemn and dignified, seemed to have a bit of a human touch, and appeared more compassionate.

Its surface shimmered with a soft, shimmering light, which was why he hadn't noticed it before.

Chen Zhou stood aside, watching Zhenyan reach out to touch the shimmering light and shadow, a satisfied smile on his face: "His insight is not bad, we can look forward to seeing what he can do next."

The moment the mantra touched the shimmering light, the temple was no longer lonely.

The sounds of tourists returned, the smoke of incense rose again, and everything was back to normal.

However, Chen Zhou had already disappeared.

After a moment of silence, Zhenyan said, "He is truly a divine being."
