As for Buddhism, although there are temples in famous mountains and rivers, real practitioners are rare, and Guo Zhen doesn't know much about it.At the same time, he also talked about demon cultivators. There are ancient great demon bloodlines in the world. Daxia Longque, Tianlin, Zhuhuang, etc. are several famous demon gods.

Ye Fan really wanted to go to these sects, but Guo Zhen shook his head. Every sect is very mysterious, and no one knows where the real secret land is. Keep it secret.

Ye Fan is very sensitive to the Yaozu, and he wants to know more about it, because there are indications that the dead Pang Bo must be related to the Yaozu.However, although the bloodlines of several great demon gods exist, they are all low-key and harder to find.

"At the Cultivator's Conference, I think these people will appear."

Guo Zhen nodded when he heard the words. He also heard that the Ascetics Conference will be opened, but he is a casual cultivator like Ye Fan, and it is impossible for anyone to inform him, so he doesn't know much about it.

"Well, let's follow those people, don't we know when the time comes?" Ye Fan laughed.

Guo Zhen smiled wryly, he didn't have a deep friendship with those people, and this time because of being late this time made them even more unhappy, the friendship is as weak as water, and most of them will be in trouble.

"It's okay, let's follow from a distance, don't pay attention to them." Ye Fan said.

Guo Zhen thought for a while and nodded in agreement. He also wanted to go to the Daoism Conference to experience it. He didn't know the secret places of those people's sects, but he knew their practice places.

In the end, the two followed all the way, caught up with the four on the way, and went south all the way to Wuyi Mountain.On the way, I heard from those four people that they will go to the hometown of Lingbao Sect, where there are famous people staying there, and there are also amazing figures from the younger generation gathering together to join in the fun.

Ye Fan was naturally very interested when he heard it, and he followed Guo Zhen from a distance without exerting great magic power, walking leisurely and admiring the scenery along the way.

"Jiangxi is really a place of practice, I don't want to come here again." Ye Fan sighed.

The hometown of Lingbao Sect is in Gezao Mountain, which is the westward extension of Wuyi Mountain. It stretches for more than [-] miles, with ancient bamboos and pines, peaks and ridges, and beautiful scenery.

Ye Fan is very interested in this place, because Gezao Mountain, also known as Geling, is an important place of Taoism. The founder of Lingbao Sect is Ge Xuan, who is Ge Hong's uncle, and founded the Taoism here.

Ge Hong wrote "Baopuzi". He was a Taoist leader in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After his uncle created the Lingbao School, Ge Hong carried it forward and shocked the world, and he left an indelible mark here.Now, although the Lingbao faction has found another secret place and evacuated here, most likely there will be some traces left.

On Gezao Mountain, the rosy clouds are steaming, and the clouds are full of smoke. It is like walking into a picture scroll. Here, springs and waterfalls, mountains and green peaks are beautiful, elegant and restrained.

"Lingbao Sect can't say that it has abandoned this place. There are many Taoist temples in the mountains, and most of the outer disciples are here." Guo Zhen explained that one of the four people he knew came from here.

"This place is not bad. It seems that the records in the history books are correct. Ge Hong really lived here for a long time." Ye Fan nodded. Big names leave aisle marks here.

"Disappeared, they disappeared!" Guo Zhen was surprised, staring at the depths of the mountains, showing a look of confusion and surprise.

"It's interesting, and it's really extraordinary that there is such a wonderful place here when the land is dry today." Ye Fan smiled and led Guo Zhen forward, and soon came to a green mountain.

"There is no way ahead, what are you doing?" Guo Zhen was shocked, because Ye Fan dragged him up a green mountain, and was about to step off the cliff.

"Don't be afraid." Ye Fan said, the brilliance flashed, and they entered a strange environment, surrounded by white clouds, with several broken mountains standing side by side, very vast, with many Taoist temples on it.

The ancient pine has grown here for thousands of years, and the old vines are all over the cliffs, as if isolated from the outside world, and the aura is much stronger.

"The outer disciples of Lingbao Sect should practice here, otherwise how could they have such achievements." Ye Fan said.And Guo Zhen was full of surprises.

"Who is here?" An old Taoist appeared and asked them.

"We are casual cultivators." Guo Zhen replied.

"Hey, it's you, why are you here?" The four people who just came in hadn't climbed the Broken Mountain yet, and they were surprised to see them, a little puzzled, and at the same time, a little unhappy.

"Not everyone can come to this place. This is a small gathering. All the famous people and amazing disciples come. People who are not orthodox are not allowed to enter." One of them had a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, this is the hometown of Lingbao, and no one else is allowed to enter." Another young man said.

The old Taoist also nodded, and said: "This is an important place of my Lingbao Sect. It is not open to the public. Except for inviting colleagues to communicate, only seniors and experts can come here, and ordinary people cannot enter."

Chapter 956 Only for Nine Secrets

"I have heard for a long time that the hometown of Lingbao is a pure land that all monks admire. At that time, Master Ge Hong was amazing in China, and he was one of the strongest in the history of Taoism. I came here to admire the Dharma, and I want to pay my respects to the holy land." Ye Fan said.

Guo Zhen also went forward to salute and asked for accommodation. They had no disrespect, and they came here because of admiration in their hearts, hoping to satisfy their wish.

"To pay homage to the relics of the sages, you can go to the Taoist temple outside. This secret land is never open to the public." A disciple of Lingbaomen looked cold and unhappy.

Sure enough, the friendship between the four young people and Guo Zhen was as weak as water. Guo Zhen had already followed here, but he was so ruthless.

"Although we are acquainted, this place does not allow idlers to enter." The other person was very straightforward, classifying him and Ye Fan as idlers, with a contemptuous tone.

"What kind of talent is not idle?" Seeing that Guo Zhen was embarrassed, Ye Fan asked like this. He said that he would not leave here, and Ge Hong had to watch what he said at the gate.

"Don't you really think that you are a senior?" Another young man couldn't help laughing.

The old Taoist priest next to him once said that only senior masters can come here to teach scriptures and Taoism, and can enter and leave the former pure land of Lingbao.

"There are 33 steps at the mountain gate, which represent the heavenly position of ascending to immortality and enlightenment. If any of you can pass the eighth step, you can barely pass the level and you can enter." The old Taoist said.

Several ancient pine trees, like a dragon crouching on a coil, stand at the foot of the mountain. It is said that Ge Hong planted it himself in those days.

There are 33 steps there, which are different from other bluestone steps leading to the mountain. It is said that this was the most common test in ancient times. Even the Taoist who served the real person had the ability to walk over it, otherwise he would not be able to go up and down the mountain freely.

But now only the elders can leave, and ordinary disciples can only go around and avoid these stone steps from the side path, which is incomparable with the ancient times.

Ye Fan wanted to go up in one go, but Guo Zhen was very stubborn. He insisted on giving it a try. He was repeatedly despised by acquaintances, and he was inevitably a little angry and hard to calm down.

One step, two steps, three steps, Guo Zhen felt very strenuous to take only three steps with his own way, and it was difficult to take the fourth step.Due to the great environment of the world, compared with the ancient monks, today's aspirants generally have low cultivation levels and it is difficult to improve.

Beside them, the four young men laughed lightly and shook their heads. Even they dared not walk up the stone steps, thinking that Guo Zhen would only make a fool of himself if he didn't understand this.

"brush!"

A cloud of blue-blue light lit up, and a blue-gold sheet appeared in Guo Zhen's hand, with a talisman engraved on it, extremely ancient, overflowing with blue-gold lights, covering him.

"Bang!", "Bang!"...

Guo Zhen took six steps in a row, and took a total of nine steps, exceeding the standard said by the old man, sweating profusely, and then jumped out of the stone steps with all his strength, and retreated.

The four young men next to him were very surprised, staring at the blue gold flake in his hand, the talismans on it were very mysterious, which made Guo Zhen behave like this all of a sudden.Under normal circumstances, these four people can't do it at all, and they can only take three steps. I never thought that Guo Zhen could do it.

The old Taoist was also very surprised, staring at the blue gold talisman non-stop, said: "Although you have borrowed a spiritual weapon, you have passed the test and can go up."

Guo Zhen took a deep breath, wiped off the sweat from his head, and carefully put away the blue and gold flakes. At his level, he couldn't hold soldiers in his body.

"It's just relying on external things, what kind of ability is this." A young man said in a low voice, and the four of them felt ashamed, so they didn't stay any longer and went up the mountain quickly.

Guo Zhen seemed to be exhausted after walking these nine steps. After returning, he hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground to recover his energy.

Ye Fan looked at the 33 stone steps, walked up step by step, until he finished all the steps, and then walked down again.

Down below, the old Taoist was almost terrified, tongue-tied in shock, even he could only walk halfway, but this young man seemed to be strolling in a garden.He knew that if he met a real expert, he would call senior and salute.

Ye Fan stopped him, shook his head, and then came to Guo Zhen's side, and sent a pure divine force over him, which instantly made his tired look disappear, and his whole body was comfortable, and he recovered as before.

"Brother Ye..." He was naturally taken aback, and quickly opened his eyes.
