"It seems that we must go to Baxiantai."

Listening to Master Gui Yuan mentioning several places.

Chen Yulou's eyes flickered slightly, and he pondered in his heart.

Jiang Ziya appointed gods and immortals, and Master Wenshi built a hut to practice cultivation, which is suspected to be the entrance to Xuande Cave.

Just from these points, you can guess its importance.

Furthermore, Taibai Mountain is the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain, and Batiantai is the top of Taibai Peak. It is towering into the clouds and is covered with snow all year round that never melts, hence the saying that Taibai Mountain is covered with snow in June.

I originally thought that the place was too steep and it would be extremely difficult to reach the top, so I just took a look at it from a distance at the foot of the mountain.

but……

Now it seems that this trip is a must.

As for the remaining places, Chen Yulou also wrote them down one by one.

for the rest of the time.

A group of people chatted around the fire.

Perhaps it had been too long since Gui Yuan Lao Zhenren had come down the mountain to see guests, or perhaps it had been many years since he had seen those ascetics from outside the mountain, so he was very talkative.

Chen Yulou is so resourceful.

Moreover, having lived two lives, he has extensive knowledge and experience.

He is extremely knowledgeable.

Whether it is celestial phenomena, history, folk customs, or the practice of the three religions, or even the scenery of various places, he has always been able to draw on it with ease.

I could hear the old master sighing from time to time.

It has been seventy years since he entered the underworld.

The world has changed so much that even he couldn't imagine it.

Later on, Lian Mingya sat up straight and listened with great interest. Although his legs and feet were still fine, he seldom went down the mountain. Even if he went, he would just visit a few ancient towns around the Qinling Mountains at most.

Who could have imagined what the world would be like?

More than an hour later.

Seeing a look of fatigue flash across the old master's face, Chen Yulou immediately understood and stood up to say goodbye.

After all, he is a hundred-year-old man.

Judging from the situation in the hall, it is normal for him to be tired and exhausted after getting up early in the morning to make medicine.

"Are you leaving now?"

"At least stay and have a vegetarian meal."

Seeing them leaving, Gui Yuan was stunned.

I haven't seen such an interesting young man in many years. He is knowledgeable, eloquent, and gentle. He is neither arrogant nor impatient, and neither hurried nor slow.

He does not think himself superior because of his high level of cultivation.

"No, old immortal, we still have to go visit the immortal Zhao Hulu of Chunyang Palace. Besides, the carriages and horses are all at the foot of the mountain, so I'm afraid we can't stay overnight on the mountain."

Chen Yulou quickly explained.

Half a day has passed in the blink of an eye.

You don’t have to visit Doumu Palace, Jade Emperor Temple and Tiejia Temple, but Chunyang Palace cannot be ignored.

In addition, you must also visit Batiantai, Caolou Temple and Yuhuangchi.

Calculate it this way.

Time is extremely tight.

There is no room for delay.

Otherwise, once it gets dark and the mountains are covered with snow, even if they are as light as a swallow and walk as if on flat ground, it will still be too difficult for them to go down the mountain overnight.

"In such a hurry?"

As soon as I heard them say they had to leave before dark.

It is not easy to keep Taoist Guiyuan.

"Yes, this trip up the mountain was also a spur of the moment decision. Otherwise... I shouldn't have rashly disturbed the immortal's practice today."

Chen Yulou smiled helplessly.

In their original plan, they were just going to use the Qin-Chu Ancient Road, cross the Qinling Mountains, pass Fangjiashan in Yang County, and then search for the whereabouts of the golden abacus along both sides of the Yellow River.

I have never thought about climbing mountains to visit immortals and seek the truth.

However, even he did not expect that this rash idea would bring such rich rewards.

At least, before this, he thought that in this era, the Taoists who truly practiced and entered the realm of Taoism were either in Longhu, Qingcheng, Wudang or Shangmaoshan.

Now it seems that I am actually a bit of a frog in the well.

In other words, he was actually trapped in a vicious circle of preconceived ideas.

"In that case, I won't stay any longer."

The old Taoist nodded and said, "But...if you have the chance, you can still go up the mountain. I can't guarantee other places, but you can come to the Medicine King Temple anytime."

"Thank you, Masato!"

"Chen has made note of this. I will definitely come again as long as I have free time!"

Feel the truth in his words.

Chen Yulou nodded heavily.

To be honest, Taoist Guiyuan almost perfectly met his imagination of a Taoist master.

Chatting with him for a few moments is better than practicing for half a month.

"Good good!"

Taoist Guiyuan stroked his long beard.

Then something came to mind.

"By the way, Zhao Hu's personality is quite strange, and he doesn't like to see people. Otherwise, how about I take you there?"

"no, I'm fine."

"Master, you are too polite. It is freezing cold and the two mountains are quite far apart. We dare not trouble you. We can just go to your house and ask for an audience ourselves."

Hear this.

Chen Yulou waved his hands repeatedly.

After chatting for such a long time, he already knew that the old master in front of him had not left home for many years.

At most, I would just stroll around the back mountain.

He spent most of the rest of his time in the temple pounding medicine and practicing.

I already feel really bad for wasting his time today, so I don't dare to trouble him any further.

"Old Master, Mingya will invite all the lay Buddhists to come over."

Taoist Mingya, who had been silent the whole time but was listening, also spoke up in time and spoke seriously.

"That's fine. With Mingya leading the way, I, the Taoist priest, will feel relieved."

Hearing this, Gui Yuan, who was still thinking about asking his disciple to introduce him, suddenly became calm.

Mingya is not a cultivator.

But for many years in the mountains.

He was considerate in his interpersonal relationships, character and behavior, so both the Taoists in the mountains and the hermits in the mountains had a very good impression of him and spoke highly of him.

With his recommendation, Zhao Hu wouldn't have to stay away from others.

"Then Master, we will take our leave first."

Chen Yulou spoke at the right time.

"Go ahead. I won't get up to see you off."

He signaled to the people beside him, and they all bowed and said goodbye.

It was not until I walked out of the hall and into the Medicine King Temple that I heard some noises of fighting coming from afar.

Look up.

Two little Taoist boys of similar age, both wearing navy blue Taoist robes, were chasing and playing, one in front and one behind, holding snowballs in their hands.

It was Qing Xu and the little Taoist priest who brought them in.

See this.

A hint of helplessness flashed across Taoist Mingya's eyes.

"Qing Xu..."

The fighting stopped abruptly.

Qing Xu quickly hid the snowball behind him, with a bitter face, as if he was afraid of being scolded by his master, but he kept looking back every few steps. It was obvious that he didn't have many opportunities to go out, and even fewer times to see his friends.

"Master Mingya, forget it, it's not surprising that children like to play around."

"The wind is howling in the mountains, it would be boring to go there."

"Just leave him here."

Seeing this scene, Chen Yulou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and tried to persuade them.

Qingxu is only four or five years old, at the age when he is the most naughty. With such a nature, how can he be easily strangled?

"This……"

Taoist Mingya hesitated for a moment, but finally waved his hand.

"Since Mr. Chen has pleaded for you, let's forget about today's matter. However... after you go back, you can't miss the evening class. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"Thank you, master."

Qing Xu was stunned at first, then his tense little face quickly relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and surprise returned to his face.

He also did not forget to bow to Chen Yulou seriously.

“Thank you, Mr. Chen!”

"Go ahead, just don't disturb the old master's rest."

The group couldn't help laughing at his appearance, and Chen Yulou waved his hand.

There was no time for the little guy to hesitate.

He nodded vigorously.

Together with the little Taoist boy, he skipped and ran to the side yard.

Not long after.

The joyful sound of chasing rang out again.

Chen Yulou and his companions did not delay. With Taoist Mingya leading the way, they crossed mountains and streams, and passed by countless ancient temples and Taoist palaces along the way, some of which were located in valleys, and some were built against the mountains.

It is full of ancient charm and shrouded in clouds and mist.

But once you pass the Jade Emperor Temple, there are very few Taoist temples going up. Only occasionally can you see a few Taoists walking through the woods. You can't tell whether they are returning from climbing the mountain to see the distant sights, or going to the mountains to practice.

About a quarter of an hour.

Deep in the clouds, a snow-covered mountain finally appeared in everyone's sight.

“We’re here… We’re here.”

"Have you seen that rock that looks like a chair? It is said that it was the seat where Jiang Taigong was enshrined as a god."

After all, Taoist Mingya is still a bit old.

Took several breaks along the way.

At this moment, there was a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

However, seeing that Batiantai was so close, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"The Conferred God Platform..."

After hearing what he said, several people looked at each other, with shock in their eyes.

The great calamity of the Conferred Gods and the battle between gods and demons.

In that ancient era, there were gods and Buddhas everywhere, mixed in with history, making it difficult to distinguish whether they were real or fictitious.

"Let's go up and have a look."

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows and urged.

For him, regardless of whether the Battle of the Gods was real or fake, the rich spiritual energy flowing on the Baxiantai among the clouds on the top of the mountain at this moment could not be faked.

A pair of real eyes swept across.

The lines of rules crisscross and there are faintly countless star-like fluorescent lights jumping around.

"Dongtian?!"

This scene made it difficult for him not to associate it with the four words "Xuan De Dong Tian".

"Kunlun, give Taoist Mingya a hand, be careful."

"Okay, shopkeeper."

After giving an instruction, Chen Yulou took a step forward, stepped on the cliff and jumped up, like a feather, breaking through the cold wind and lightly landing on the top of the cliff.

Anyway, Mingya already knows his identity as a great monk.

Those few rays of spiritual light flickered unsteadily.

It's like a lamp in the wind, as if it will go out at any time.

How can he care about anything else?

The cave heaven, whether it was a broken space crack as he guessed, or as mentioned by Master Gui Yuanlao, it was the Taixu Palace of the thirty-sixth heaven.

Since we met.

You must not miss it.

“This…this, this, this.”

Taoist Mingya wanted to decline politely, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Yulou rising into the sky. In an instant, his pupils dilated, as if thunder exploded in his mind.

He trembled all over, his lips quivering.

For a moment, I didn't even know what to say.

Infinite Heavenly Lord.

Is it true that people who practice cultivation can fly into the sky and hide in the ground?

Suddenly, he felt that all his life's knowledge was shattered at this moment.

There are countless Taoists on the mountain.

It’s not like I haven’t seen people with such skills.

He has had more or less contact with Master Guiyuan, Master Zhaohu, and those old masters who have long since retired from the world to practice cultivation.

But in his mind.

Those immortals, in addition to their immortal appearance, also live longer than ordinary people.

It seems that he has never displayed any unimaginable abilities such as "supernatural powers" or "immortal magic".

Climb to the top from where they are.

There are cliffs everywhere. At the most dangerous part, you have to move forward step by step by sticking to the stone wall. There is a cliff thousands of feet high in front of you.

otherwise.

You have to go around from the other side.

The effort required is several times more than that of the current path.

He came here several times.

According to Taoist Gui Yuan's calculations, it would take more than half a quarter of an hour to walk there.

but……

Why did Mr. Chen fly up so quickly?

The key point is, looking at the expressions of the people around, none of them showed even the slightest shock, as if it was commonplace and they were already used to it.

"Old Taoist priest, be careful."

"The road ahead is narrow and windy."

Taoist Mingya opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know where to start.

Facing Kunlun's calm and steady eyes, he hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

He almost pulled me all the way, from top to bottom, and sent me to Batiantai.

Looking up, the mountain tops are covered with snow, ancient pines are swaying in the wind, large ink-blue rocks can be seen everywhere, and you can faintly find traces of previous people's footsteps.

When they reached the top, they looked around curiously.

The Taoist Mingya was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

Even after so much time had passed, the previous scene kept reappearing in his mind.

"Could it be that... this is the body of the Yang God?"

Facing the mountain breeze blowing from the sea of ​​clouds, Taoist Mingya stared blankly at the figure standing by the stone chair and a bold guess suddenly came to his mind.

Previously in Yaowang Temple.

I listened to the two of them talking.

Although he did not understand what foundation building and infant transformation were, he was deeply impressed by the Yang God, which had been mentioned several times.

After all, the old immortals all said that those who cultivated into Yang Shen could travel through heaven and earth, visiting the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

Just climbing to the sky doesn’t seem to be a difficult task.

While he was daydreaming, Chen Yulou held his breath and concentrated, pushing Qingmu's real body to the extreme. His real eyes, which were facing away from everyone, were shining with golden light.

There was a golden glow all over his body, making him look like a majestic god.

His eyes scanned the surrounding void intently.

He used all his energy and spiritual consciousness to try to block those faint spiritual lights.

only……

Those fluorescent lights seemed to have souls.

Noticing his actions, he immediately fled into the void.

But from beginning to end, Chen Yulou never thought about actually entering the Xuande Cave Heaven. It was enough for him just to be able to get a glimpse of the truth inside.

at last.

The fluorescence disappeared, and the cracks seemed to close at that moment.

A ray of gaze also rushed in.

boom--

The spiritual energy surged in like a surging tide, so majestic that it was unimaginable. For a moment, he felt as if he was in the residence of a god.

pity.

When Chen Yulou wanted to take another look.

The gaze was forcibly cut off.

It was as if I had fallen from dawn into eternal night.

At the same time, a sharp pain came from the depths of his pupils. Chen Yulou's face changed and he subconsciously raised his hands to protect his eyes. When he reacted and looked up again, the void outside the Baxiantai had returned to normal.

Except for the sea of ​​clouds and snowflakes.

No more fluorescence.

It was as if everything that happened before was just an illusion.

But even so, Chen Yulou was not disappointed at all. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.

Can't go wrong.

That is Xuande Cave Heaven!

Jinglu Taixu is regarded by Taoists as the residence of immortals.

I can only say that he is really lucky.

The first time I climbed up the Baxiantai, I saw this legendary paradise.

It is almost 50% to 60% similar to the rumor about the mountain mentioned by Taoist Guiyuan.

The only pity is that I only took a quick glance at it.

otherwise.

I'm about 90% sure!

"Since the Taoist sect regards it as the residence of immortals, it means... someone entered it at least two thousand years ago."

"Also, this cave seems to be slightly different from the place where the previous fire god escaped into."

Standing at Baxiantai.

Chen Yulou forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, his eyes flickering, and he pondered seriously.

"The air in Xuande Cave is ethereal, and the place where evil spirits live... has a gloomy and chilling atmosphere."

"Could it be that there are differences between the caves?"
