As Cardinal thought of this, the full image of the rat appeared in his mind.

After eating the rat, Cardinal felt like he had gone crazy. He actually had this kind of thought. However, Cardinal also did not feel that it was impossible. This was because survival required one to use all of their strength to try and survive.

He leaned his body closer to the fire, feeling the warmth of it.

The Black Wind Forest was simply too dark and gloomy.

Now, it was night time again. Unconsciously, it would give off a gloomy feeling.

Cardinal took out some rations from his bag, ate them in a few bites, and then sat down cross-legged beside the bonfire. As he took advantage of his advancement, he would stabilize his inner strength and experience the mysteries behind his advancement.

No matter what, as long as one's heart was firm, they could remain unmoved by external matters.

Cardinal was immersed in his own cultivation. The 'black' of Black Wind Forest, the 'cold' of Black Wind Forest, and the 'wickedness' of Black Wind Forest had all disappeared without a trace.

All that was left was the uniform breathing, and only the unceasing circulation within his body. When the luck was over in a week, his inner force would increase a bit, and although it wasn't much, it was the foundation of cultivation and also the basis for becoming stronger.

The small stream eventually became a river.

There were very few people in the Black Wind Forest, but now it was not only Cardinal who was in the Black Wind Forest.

An extremely obese man was slowly walking in the Black Wind Forest.

His face could not be seen clearly in the darkness, but his figure could be seen.

Standing there was like a small mountain, but it was not motionless. The small mountain moved slowly and rhythmically, following a fixed pattern.

Every step he took was seven inches six. Not more, but not less.

The Black Wind Forest was not big, but he had been walking for more than ten days. He actually quite liked this kind of environment, and felt that this kind of environment was actually the most suitable for him.

He slowly walked forward, step by step, as he felt the emotions brought to him by the Black Wind Forest. Even though he had matters to attend to when he went out this time, he did not mind at all and was in no hurry to complete them.

Although Cardinal was meditating and cultivating his inner force, he was able to sense the external environment within a radius of several kilometers, not missing a single thing.

Cardinal seemed to have heard the sound of a heartbeat, a steady heartbeat.

Cardinal seemed to have heard the sound of footsteps, regular footsteps.

Huai Cheng opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

The hill moved slowly, and there was a bright light. The firelight would not be so dazzling in the daytime, but in the cold and gloomy Black Wind Forest, the firelight was so dazzling.

Little Shan made up his mind to go and see what was going on.

He could feel the sound getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the other party had also discovered his position.

However, it was very normal for people to discover the location of the bonfire. If it was a human, they would be attracted by the light of the fire.

Cardinal stood up. In the Black Wind Forest, even if a few people died, no one would be able to discover it.

Cardinal didn't think that anyone else would do anything, for example, kill them to keep their mouths shut, or cut their throats to rob them.

If someone had followed the light of the fire to get what he wanted, the Cardinal would have regarded it as an instinctive act.

What was wrong with looking for warmth and light in the darkness?

"Brother, if you don't mind, come over here. There's a bonfire and some rations to eat …"

The man's footsteps paused. He didn't expect that he would still be able to spot him at such a distance.

Therefore, he called out to the bonfire, "It's better to obey than to be respectful. This humble monk just so happens to be heading that way. Meeting each other is fate."

When Cardinal heard his words, he realized that the person before him was a monk. He did not know what purpose he had come to the Black Wind Forest for, but he did not care.

On the roads of the world, who could not leave?

Cardinal laughed, "Since we have met, it might also be a matter of fate for us! Buddha said that for the five hundred times in his previous life, he would be able to wipe his shoulders in this life.

A voice came from afar, "Since you've invited me, I'm honored. How could I not?"

Upon hearing this reply, Cardinal once again sat down cross-legged, quietly waiting for that person to arrive.

The man was not impatient after he answered. His footsteps were the same as before. He walked slowly and steadily. From the beginning to the end, he was not in a state of confusion.

When he heard the rhythm of his footsteps, he felt the calmness of the monk as well as the aura of the monk.

His qi was weak, as if he didn't have any martial arts skills.

But in his heart, he had an intuition that this monk was not someone to be trifled with. If he were to say that he had no kung fu skills, then he would not believe it.

However, the Cardinal did not care. When he met a person, he would wonder if the other person had ulterior motives, and if it would be disadvantageous to him. Cardinal was not such a person, nor did he treat everyone else in the world as if they were nothing.

Cardinal wouldn't completely let down his guard. He had always used his good will to estimate others, but he had also given them some leeway.

The farmer and the snake were not the farmer's fault, nor was it the snake's fault. It was just that the farmer was too relaxed and alert, and the snake happened to be a snake out of his mind.

After walking for a few miles, the monk walked for a quarter of an hour.

Cardinal was not in a hurry. Even if this person did not appear, he would not have felt anything amiss.

In the dark forest, there were only two people and a bonfire. If he came, and she had ill intentions towards him, so what?

Cardinal calmly waited for him to arrive.

He also walked closer and saw the small shed that Cardinal had casually built. He also saw the bonfire.

He then opened his mouth and said, "In my previous life, I looked back five hundred times in exchange for a shoulder rub in this life. This time, you and I met, what was the reason in my previous life?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cardinal clearly saw the person who had arrived.

He had a slightly obese body, but it was not bulky. His eyes were a bit small, his nose was high, and his face was round. He was somewhat similar to Maitreya the Buddha.

A string of buddhist beads hung around his neck. The material used to make these beads was unknown, but he felt that they were solemn. There were thirty-six buddhist beads, and each one was the size of an egg, adding to their solemnity.

Holding the staff in his hand, he placed it on the ground. The staff had a chilling killing intent, adding a bit more killing intent to it.

The monk clasped his hands, "Amitabha, I'm sorry to bother you."

Cardinal Zhu Cheng stood up and also clasped his hands in salute.

Then, the monk asked, "Benefactor, where and where did you go and where did you come from?"

"I came from the Southern River, Shunjin Manor, to Mount Hua. So what if I am a master?"

While speaking, the monk sat down on the ground, placed his staff on his knees, and said, "I come from Raksha Temple in the Western Regions, this time I am going to meet with you at Broken Valley Cliff."

Hearing the two words' appointment ', the emperor smiled and said, "Master is travelling on such a path, aren't you afraid that others will be waiting for you?"

The monk also smiled, "It's fine. If you want to be quick, you have to hurry. This time, I will keep my promise."

Cardinal immediately broke into a smile. The person waiting for him wasn't you, so of course you could go. It didn't matter if you went there late, but the people waiting for you had to wait.
