Not only that, Ezhou City is also one of the seven central cities in the interior, and Zhengqing Wenqitang will set up a branch here sooner or later, and it is also very necessary to come in advance to explore the details.

There is another main reason, the uncle of the Qingqi county lord, Kuang Yan Xianwen, is in Ezhou City, is the Wuchang Army Observer Envoy, the local military and political chief, the Sanpin Shang, stationed in E, Yue, Qi, An, Huang and other prefectures, is the second head of the local area after the Jiedu envoy.

The festival envoy gave double and double festivals, and the festival was rewarded with special rewards, and the festival was dedicated to killing, and he was the top boss of the Wujing Festival observation envoy, just like Li Zhi's two festival envoys appointed, which shows that Li Zhi, as a first-class duke, has great power and can be called an important minister in the court.

Guo Yan's father, that is, Qingqi's grandfather, is also very good, Hexi commands the local army governor, and the Tang border Yurong defense general, in charge of the military and political power of a state.

Due to physical reasons, his grandfather did not attend Qingqi's wedding, but Guo Yan led his family to rush over, and heard that Li Zhi would have a party from Ezhou City, so he was very warmly invited to go to the meeting.

With this person, the trip to Ezhou City will definitely be smooth, so the interest of Li Zhi and the others along the way is very high.

Wuyuan to Ezhou City is only less than 800 miles, if you are fast, you can reach it in a day.

However, because there is a hidden mountain Tianzhu Mountain along the way, it is named after its main peak "a pillar of optimus", which is a gathering place of ancient Anhui culture, and the cultural landscape is broad and profound; Taoism respects Tianzhu Mountain as the fourteenth cave heaven and fifty-seven blessed land; The second and third ancestors of Zen Buddhism once traveled here and stayed in Xi.

Sun Simiao has been there several times, but Li Zhi's purpose is that there are primitive ruins of the Neolithic period in that place, and the Taoist secret light exercise method handed over to him by Xianfeng is derived from one of the many ruins.

Moreover, the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism regarded this as a "blessed land in the heavens", and they vied with each other to build temples and preach scriptures, and he deeply suspected that there might be a secret place for cultivation before the entire cultivation realm disappeared.

Just after noon, the two of them can see the towering Tianzhu Mountain, surrounded by mountains, the environment is elegant, under the blue sky and white clouds, there is a lake like a mirror, the peaks, the cliffs and green pines are reflected in it, such as brocade, adding vitality to the calm water surface.

The name of the lake is like tin lake, also known as alchemy lake, and Tianzhu Mountain is far away, boating on it, such as entering the Yao Pond.

The origin of the alchemy lake originates from an alchemy platform in the middle of the mountainside, and the legend is that Zuo Ci, a scholar at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had made alchemy here.

A Ludi thatched cottage in the southeast of the alchemy platform is Sun Simiao's previous boarding place, and the owner of the thatched cottage is called Jiyuan Daochang, who is a Taoist cultivator in the realm of a third-level master, and does not belong to any sect of escapist ascetics.

"As you said, I'll spend the night in Ludi Thatched Cottage tonight, and I'll come back tomorrow and start again!" Sun Simiao looked at the sparkling distance with a thoughtful expression.

Li Zhidao, "The old man has a good relationship with Jiyuan Dao Chang, and this person is a highly skilled person, so I haven't heard something from his mouth about the things in the cultivation realm more than a thousand years ago?" ”

"I said earlier, this is just your personal opinion, the cultivation realm has disappeared since then, and it doesn't necessarily happen there, although I have also seen the Seven Steps of Lingxuan, but the primordial ruins are not the same as the holy land of cultivation, it can only represent that among the people in the original residence, there were cultivators! Moreover, to be able to call it a primordial land means that it is at least two thousand years from now, and hundreds of years earlier than the rumored disappearance of the cultivation realm. ”

"Just those ruins are worth exploring, not far from there is the Tianzhu Mountain, where the two sects are densely populated, and I think it is necessary to stay for one night."

"With your skills, you won't miss anything in the vicinity, but there may not be some kind of powerful existence in the unknown land, such as large beasts, ancient prohibitions, etc., you still need to be more careful."

The two of them talked in their mouths, and they also arrived at a dense place where there was no way to follow, dismounted and led, and walked around for more than an hour before they came to the Alchemy Lake.

Before they could go any deeper, a figure flew down halfway up the mountain, it was the Jiyuan Dao Chief, Sun Simiao's face had changed at this time, and it was normal for him not to recognize it.

When his inquiring voice fell, Sun Simiao laughed at him, recited the magic formula in his mouth, and rubbed his face with both hands, and after a while, he returned to his original appearance.

Shocked, Jiyuan Dao Chang was stunned for a moment, and then a smile spread: "It seems that the Medicine King really took that step, I haven't seen it for nearly ten years, but it is a breath that makes the poor Dao unable to find out the depths, presumably the Medicine King has another opportunity in my Dao!" ”

"You didn't show off your cultivation in front of me before, but now it's not what it used to be, hurry up and call your seniors!"

can not hide his identity, obviously the relationship between the two is not an ordinary mutual trust, and there is a lot of casual talk.

Jiyuan Dao Chang laughed, "It's not a loss to call a senior, I want to be dozens of years younger than you, if I can teach me the reason for the skyrocketing cultivation, it doesn't hurt to call you grandpa!" ”

Li Zhi sneered, and Sun Simiao introduced: "This is my junior, Li Zhi Li Zhengwen, a person from Chang'an, who is equivalent to me, are you also called a senior?" I'll be your grandparents! ”

Li Zhi hurriedly excused him: "The old man is now called Ma Qianchi to the outside world, and I call him Ma Ye!" I always thought that Ma Ye didn't laugh easily, let alone those jokes, but I didn't expect to meet you so casually! ”

Obviously, Jiyuan Daoist has a good impression of Li Zhi's intellectual interest, and of course there are some reasons why his cultivation is higher than him, "As soon as I see you, I know that I am from a noble family, and I speak sensibly and wisely, unlike this old guy, who pretends to be dignified in the outer world, but in fact he is very vulgar!" ”

Although he was not polite, he took the initiative to take the reins of the horse in Sun Simiao's hand, and the sincerity in his smile was also revealed.

Coming to the foot of the mountain by the lake, without waiting for Li Zhi to ask, Daoist Jiyuan introduced: "Don't look at me alone, the cultivators who know this place don't come to disturb easily. The reason is that I am poor, and even in a month, there are not a few cooking drinks, and there are not a few dry firewood on the stove, they can't beat and beat, greedy and not greedy, after a long time, this place has become a happy and idle place, and few people pay attention to it! ”

Sun Simiao nodded in agreement, "Even today, I have been here as many as ten times, and I have never seen an outsider!" ”

"You are so hard-working, how can you ensure that you cultivate energy intake? Now that there is no spiritual energy in the world and no energy accumulation in the body, how can we make progress in cultivation? Li Zhi was surprised.

"I'm a little different from ordinary cultivators! Look at this Wang Alchemy Lake, although you can't perceive the aura from it, but dozens of feet deep under the surface of the lake, there is the legendary good medicine flat, which is the medicine field needed by Mr. Wujiao for alchemy in the early years! Although he has dived into it countless times and has not seen his true face, there is a trace of spiritual substance faintly in this lake, but it takes a long time to immerse himself in it physically and mentally before he can vaguely perceive it. But others didn't believe my kind of perception, before I was not the only one in the Ludi Thatched Cottage, at most there were ten people, but I couldn't find anything to draw breath from here, unlike I could sense the substances in the lake, so they all left, leaving me alone to stay until now! ”

Li Zhi became more and more curious, tied his horse, and went to the lake by himself, and explored his insight to go deep under the lake, but for a long time, he did not get the slightest aura induction.

However, the depth of the insight is far less than usual, and I always feel that there is an inexplicable fog in the lake, which prevents the extension and continuation of the exploration power.

searched for the mystery but couldn't, and then returned to the Ludi Thatched Cottage, Li Zhi did not reveal half of his perception.

This person can tell him bluntly without avoiding suspicion, but he can't say what is strange in it, after all, this is someone's private practice place, and it is related to the progress of cultivation, and no matter how much there is a problem underwater, it is not good to make remarks.

At this time, Sun Simiao had already talked to him about the Qiankun bag, and as soon as he saw Li Zhi returning, Jiyuan Daoist was a little impatient to seek a show.

After the demonstration, some daily necessities were brought out, and even a whole body of venison and some jars of high-quality wine.

Although Jiyuan Daoist is poor here, it does not mean that this person is indifferent to wine and meat, in fact, it is not common for Taoists who are really vegetarians, that is, as the presiding officer of the old monarch's palace, he will occasionally eat some wine and meat.

But although this old man's eyes lit up when he saw the ingredients, he had more deep meaning in his eyes, and it was still aimed at the Qiankun bag.
