"It seems that we must make a trip to Baxiantai."
Listening to Master Gui Yuanlao, he mentioned several places he visited.
Chen Yulou's eyes flashed slightly and he thought to himself.
Jiang Ziya conferred the title of Immortal, Wen Shi lived in a monastery, and was suspected to be the entrance to Xuande Cave.
From these points alone, you can guess its importance.
Furthermore, Taibai Mountain is the main peak in Zhongnan, while Baxiantai is at the top of Taibai Peak, towering into the clouds. It is covered with snow all year round and does not melt all year round, so there is a saying that Taibai is covered with snow in June.
I originally thought that the place was too steep and difficult to climb to the top, so I took a look at it from a distance at the bottom of the mountain.
But...
Now it seems that this trip must be made.
As for the remaining places, Chen Yulou also wrote them down one by one.
Next time.
The group chatted around the fire.
Gui Yuanlao Zhenren may have not gone down the mountain to meet guests for a long time, or he may not have seen a monk from outside the mountain for many years. He is very talkative.
Chen Yulou is so unpredictable.
Having been a man of two generations, he has experienced a lot.
He is extremely knowledgeable and profound.
No matter the celestial phenomena, history, folk customs, the practice of the three religions, or even the scenery of various places, they are always at your fingertips.
I heard the old man sigh with emotion from time to time.
It was seventy years ago since he entered the world.
The world has undergone many vicissitudes, and the changes have been so great that even he can't imagine it.
At the back, even Ming Ya sat upright and listened with gusto. Although his legs and feet were okay, he rarely went down the mountain. If he did, he would only visit a few ancient towns around the Qinling Mountains.
How can you imagine what the world is like?
More than an hour later.
Seeing the tired look on the old man's face, Chen Yulou immediately understood and stood up to say goodbye.
After all, he is an old man who is hundreds of years old.
Judging from the situation in the palace, it is probably normal to be tired and tired after getting up early to make medicine.
“You’re leaving now?”
“At least you can stay and have a vegetarian meal.”
Seeing that they were leaving, Guiyuan couldn’t help but be startled.
I haven’t seen such an interesting young man in many years. He is knowledgeable, eloquent, gentle in nature, neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor hurried nor slow.
Without the slightest thought of advanced cultivation, one is arrogant.
“No, Master, we have to visit Master Zhaohu in Chunyang Palace. Besides, the carriages and horses are all at the foot of the mountain, so I’m afraid we can’t spend the night on the mountain.”
Chen Yulou quickly explained. road.
Half a day has passed in the blink of an eye.
You can skip visiting Doumu Palace, Jade Emperor Temple and Iron Armor Temple, but Chunyang Palace cannot be ignored.
In addition, you must also visit Baxiantai, Caolou Temple and Jade Emperor Pond.
Calculate it this way.
Time is extremely tight.
No delay whatsoever.
Otherwise, when it gets dark and the mountains are covered with snow, even though they are as light as swallows and feel as if they are walking on flat ground, it is still too difficult to go down the mountain overnight.
"In such a hurry?"
I heard they said they would leave before dark.
How can it be easier to retain Gui Yuan Lao Dao?
"Yes, this trip up the mountain was also impromptu, otherwise... I shouldn't have disturbed the real person's practice so rashly today."
Chen Yulou smiled helplessly.
In their original plan, they just took the ancient Qin-Chu Road, crossed the Qinling Mountains, passed Fangjiashan in Yang County, and then followed both sides of the Yellow River to find out the whereabouts of the golden abacus.
I have never thought about climbing mountains to visit immortals and find the way.
However, even he did not expect that such a hasty idea would yield such a rich harvest.
At least before that, he thought that in this era, the Taoists who truly practiced and entered the country were either in Longhu, Qingcheng, Wudang or Shangmaoshan.
Now it seems that I am actually looking at the sky from a well.
In other words, he actually fell into a vicious cycle of preconceptions.
"In this case, the old Taoist will not stay any longer."
The old man nodded, "But... if you have the chance, you can still go up the mountain. The old Taoist cannot guarantee it in other places, but Yaowang Temple, you can come here at any time."
"Thank you, Master!"
"Chen made a note and will definitely come back if he has time."
Feel the sincerity in his words.
Chen Yulou nodded heavily.
To be honest, Gui Yuan Lao Tao almost perfectly matched his imagination of a Taoist master.
Chatting with him for a moment is better than half a month of practicing.
“Okay, okay!”
Gui Yuan Lao Dao stroked his long beard.
Immediately I thought of something.
"By the way, that guy from Zhaohu has a rather weird personality and doesn't really like to meet people. Otherwise, why should I take you there?"
"No, no, no."
"The real person is too polite. It's freezing cold and the two mountains are far apart. I don't dare to trouble the real person. We can just come to see him by ourselves."
Hear this.
Chen Yulou waved his hands repeatedly.
After chatting for so long, he already knew that the old man in front of him had actually not been out for many years.
The most you can do is stroll around the back mountain.
Most of the rest of the time was spent in the temple making medicine and practicing.
I feel quite sorry for having delayed him for so long today, so I dare not continue to trouble him.
"Old Master, all the laymen from Mingya will come over."
Mingya Taoist, who had been silent all this time and was just listening, also spoke up in time and said seriously.
"That's good. With Mingya leading the way, I'll feel relieved, Old Taoist."
Hearing this, Guiyuan, who was still thinking about asking his disciples to introduce him, suddenly felt at ease.
Although Ming Ya is not a practitioner.
But many years in the mountains.
He is well-rounded in how he treats people, his personality and behavior, so both Taoist priests and hermits in the mountains have a very good impression of him and speak highly of him.
With his introduction, Zhaohu would not turn away from him.
"Then Master, let's take our leave first."
Chen Yulou spoke at the right time.
"Go ahead, I won't get up to see you off."
He gestured to a few people beside him, and everyone clasped their fists to say goodbye.
Until I exited the temple and walked in the Yaowang Temple, I heard several sounds of fighting in the distance.
Looking up.
Two little Taoist boys of similar age, both wearing navy blue Taoist robes, one behind the other, holding snowballs in their hands, were chasing and playing.
Suddenly it was Qingxu and the little Taoist priest who led them in.
See this.
Mingya Lao Dao couldn't help but have a flash of helplessness in his eyes.
"Qingxu..."
The fighting stopped abruptly.
Qingxu hurriedly hid the snowball behind his back, with a grimace on his face, as if he was afraid of being scolded by his master, but he turned back three times. Obviously, he didn’t have many chances to go out, and he saw his friends even more often. few.
“Taoist Master Mingya, forget it, it’s not strange for children to like to play.”
“The cold wind is howling on the mountain, and it’s boring to go there.”
"Just let him stay here."
Seeing this scene, Chen Yulou didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and spoke out to persuade.
Qingxu is only four or five years old, the most naughty age. With such a nature, how can he be easily killed?
"This..."
Mingya Taoist hesitated for a moment, and finally waved his hand.
"Since Master Chen is interceding for you, let's forget about today's matter, but... after we go back, we cannot miss evening classes. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Thank you, Master."
Qing Xu was startled for a moment, and then his tense little face melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and surprise crawled onto his face again. .
I did not forget to bow to Chen Yulou seriously.
“Thank you, Master Chen!”
"Go ahead, just don't disturb the old man to rest."
The group couldn't help laughing at his appearance, while Chen Yulou waved his hand.
Why would the little guy hesitate?
He nodded vigorously.
Together with the little Taoist boy, we jumped to the side yard. Not long after.
The cheerful chase sounded again.
Chen Yulou and others did not delay. Taoist Mingya led the way through the mountains and streams. They passed countless ancient Taoist palaces along the way, either located in the valleys or built against the mountains.
It is full of ancient charm and shrouded in mist.
But once you pass the Jade Emperor Temple, there are very few Taoist temples further up. You can only occasionally see Taoist priests in twos and threes. Walking through the forest, you don’t know whether you are going up the mountain to look far away, or heading back up the mountain. Practice in time.
Almost more than a quarter of an hour.
Deep in the clouds and mist, a mountain peak covered with white snow finally appeared in everyone's sight.
"Here...here."
"Did you see the rock shaped like a chair? It is said that it was the seat where Jiang Taigong was enshrined as a god."
Mingya After all, the veteran is still a bit older.
Rested a few times along the way.
At this moment, there was also a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
However, looking at the Baxian Terrace so close, one’s face still couldn’t hide the joy.
“The Conferred God Platform...”
Listening to his words, several people couldn’t help but look at each other, with a hint of shock in their eyes.
The Great Tribulation of the Gods and the Battle between Gods and Demons.
In that ancient era, the sky was full of gods and Buddhas, mixed with history, making it difficult to tell whether it was real or fabricated.
“Let’s go up and have a look.”
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows and urged.
For him, no matter whether the Battle of the Gods is true or false, the rich spiritual energy flowing on the Immortal Platform between the clouds and mist on the mountain top cannot be false.
A pair of true eyes swept over.
The lines of rules are criss-crossed, and there are countless stars-like fluorescent lights jumping faintly.
“Dongtian?!”
This scene made it difficult for him not to think of the four words Xuande Dongtian.
"Kunlun, hold on to Taoist Master Mingya and be careful."
"Okay, it's the shopkeeper."
With a warning, Chen Yulou stepped out of the cliff and jumped up. Like a feather, it broke through the cold wind and landed lightly on the top of the cliff.
Anyway, Ming Ya already knew his identity as a great monk.
Those few rays of spiritual light are uncertain.
Just like a light in the wind, it seems that it will go out at any time.
How can he care about anything else?
Whether the cave sky is a broken space crack as he guessed, or it is the Taixu mansion in the thirty-sixth heaven as mentioned by the elder Gui Yuan.
Now that we have met.
You must not miss it.
"This...this, this, this."
Mingya Lao Dao still wanted to decline politely, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw Chen Yulou rising into the sky. In an instant, his pupils dilated, as if thunder exploded in his mind.
Pouting his lips, his whole body was trembling.
For a moment, I didn’t even know what to say.
Infinite Heavenly Lord.
Is it true that people in spiritual practice can fly into the sky and escape from the earth?
Suddenly, he felt that his whole life's knowledge was shattered by the impact at this moment.
There are countless Taoists on the mountain.
It’s not like I’ve never seen someone who knows how to do things right.
He has more or less come into contact with Master Guiyuan, Master Zhaohu, and those old masters who have long since retreated from the world to practice cultivation.
But in his impression.
Those real people, apart from being immortal, lived longer than ordinary people.
It seems that he has not displayed any unimaginable abilities such as "supernatural power" and "immortal magic".
Climb to the top from where they are.
They are all steep cliffs. At the most precipitous part, you even have to move forward step by step against the stone wall. One step ahead of you is a cliff of ten thousand feet.
Otherwise.
You have to go around from the other side.
The effort required is several times more than the current trail.
He came here several times.
According to Gui Yuanlaodao’s calculations, it takes more than half a quarter of an hour to walk.
But...
That layman Chen, why did he fly up so quickly?
The key point is, looking at the expressions of the people around them, they did not show even the slightest shock, as if it was sparse and commonplace.
"Old Taoist Master, be careful."
"The road ahead is narrow and windy."
Taoist Mingya opened his mouth to say something, but when the words reached his lips, I don’t know where to start asking.
Facing Kunlun's calm and steady eyes, he hesitated for a moment and nodded.
I was almost pulled by him all the way from top to bottom to Baxiantai.
Looking up, the mountain tops are covered with ice and snow, ancient pines are swaying in the wind, large blue-black rocks can be seen everywhere, and faint traces of previous generations can be found.
As soon as they reached the top, they looked around curiously.
The old Taoist Mingya was left alone in the wind.
Even after so much time, the previous scene still kept coming back and forth in his mind.
"Is it possible... that this is the body of the Yang God?"
Facing the mountain wind blowing from the sea of clouds, Mingya Taoist stared blankly at the back of the stone chair and the strange stone. , a bold guess suddenly appeared in my mind.
Previously at Yaowang Temple.
Listen to the two people sitting and talking.
Although he didn't know anything about foundation building or infant transformation, he was deeply impressed by Yang Shen, who had been mentioned several times.
After all, the old man said that those who have cultivated themselves into the Yang God can travel around the world and travel to the North Sea and Mu Cangwu.
Just ascending to the sky does not seem to be difficult.
While he was thinking wildly, Chen Yulou held his breath and concentrated, pushing Qingmu's real body to the extreme, looking at everyone with a pair of real eyes, golden light shining brightly.
Golden light appeared all over his body, making him look like a towering god.
His eyes scanned the surrounding void.
Qi Ji and divine consciousness tried their best to block those few faint spiritual lights.
It’s just...
Those fluorescent lights are like spirits.
After noticing his move, he immediately fled towards Taixu.
But Chen Yulou never thought about being able to enter Xuande Cave from the beginning to the end. He just wanted to get a glimpse of the truth.
Finally.
The fluorescence escapes, just like the moment when the cracks close up.
A ray of eyes also rushed into it.
Boom——
The spiritual energy surged like a tidal wave and was so majestic that it was unimaginable. For a moment, he felt as if he was in a fairy mansion.
What a pity.
When Chen Yulou wanted to take another look.
The gaze was forcibly cut off.
It was like falling from dawn into eternal night.
At the same time, a stinging pain came from the depths of his pupils. Chen Yulou's expression changed, and he subconsciously raised his hands to protect his eyes. When he reacted and looked up again, the void outside the Immortal Platform had returned to normal.
Except for the sea of clouds and snowflakes.
No more fluorescence.
As if everything before was just an illusion.
But even so, Chen Yulou was not disappointed at all, and instead had a smile on his face.
Can't be wrong.
That is Xuande Cave Heaven!
Jinglu Taixu is regarded as the residence of immortals by Taoism.
It can only be said that he is really lucky.
The first time I climbed up to the Baxiantai, I saw this legendary paradise.
It is almost 50-60% similar to the rumor on the mountain that Taoist Guiyuan talked about.
The only pity is that I only caught a glimpse of it.
Otherwise.
Almost 90% sure!
"Since the Tao Sect regards it as the residence of an immortal, it means...that someone entered it at least two thousand years ago."
"In addition, the cave sky seems to be slightly different from the place where the fire god escaped from before."
Standing at the Baxiantai.
Chen Yulou suppressed the excitement in his heart, his eyes flickered, and he pondered seriously.
“Xuande Cave has an ethereal fairy air, while the place where Yin Ling and Evil Gods are... the Yin Qi is dense.”
“Could it be that there are differences between caves and heavens?” (End of this chapter)< br>
