Chapter 178: Hao Xing Dao Palace
Zhang Yan borrowed the law to escape, the sword light shimmered, went up for more than dozens of miles, broke through a churning whirlpool, above the sea of clouds, until the sky was blue, and a bright sun shone down on his head, only then did he get a glimpse of the true appearance of this land continent in the majestic clouds.
He looked down from the sky, and saw that the peaks and ravines in the continent were connected, the mountains were in Chengdu, the earth was long, and there was a winding ridge in the far north that stretched away, passing into the sky, and there was no end in sight, like an angry python moving and rolling under the earth's veins.
Near the south, it is also a beautiful scenery, the deep valley locks the fog, the trees are verdant, the branches and old vines, such as hanging the curtain, the green barrier and the green screen, the clear sky is eternal, there are thousands of waterfalls and thousands of streams in the occasion, the turbulence is like a roar, and the rush is very fast.
At this time, the sleeves of his robe shook slightly, and the fish drum true spirit turned out, raised his eyes to look, and shot a divine light from his eyes, and then pointed to a mountain peak in front of him, and said: "Senior nephew Zhang, this mountain is the place where the earth's veins gather, and it connects the heavens and the earth, and it is an excellent place for qi extraction. ”
Zhang Yan looked at it and saw that the shape of this mountain was different from other places, like a turtle looking up to the sky, its head was in the clouds, its tail was in the water, and the mountain road was crossed, like a snake, and exclaimed: "It is really a good place to go." ”
He shook his sleeves, and went forward with the wind, and there was a stick of incense on his feet, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong, the mountains, rivers, water and land on that side were obviously not far apart, but it seemed to be close at hand, but no matter how he walked, he couldn't get closer than half a minute.
It's just that this formation is not a killing formation, nor is it a maze formation, it is not a trapped enemy, if he turns around and leaves at this moment, he can return safely.
Zhang Yan learned from the mountain and river boy that when he passed by this place with the former master in the early years, he was not allowed to enter his door, because he was worried that it was the place where other people's sects were located, so he did not study it in detail, so he secretly thought: "It seems that there is a place where there is a master nine times out of ten." ”
He was pondering how to get in, his eyes wandering back and forth, and suddenly, his expression moved, and he felt that the terrain of this landscape was a little familiar.
As soon as this thought came to him, he watched intently. After watching it carefully a few times, he was in good spirits, and he already had a glimpse of some of the clues.
The trend of this landscape clearly evolves into an etching text, not only that. There will be a deep meaning in it. It's the magic way to enter the formation.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but secretly marvel at this big stroke, this continent is so wide, if you want to put such a terrain on it, you have to move mountains and land.
He calculated in his heart. But after a while, I realized the changes in it, and my heart was settled. Then he marched in the direction of the gate, only a few turns, and suddenly. As soon as the heavens and the earth were clear, it seemed that he had crossed some obstacle, and he found that he had stepped into this side of the world.
When he came, he alarmed the master here, and saw a white smoke fly out of the mountain, reach a high place, and then fall down, like water pouring, vineing in front of him. There was a Lenten Taoist standing on it, with an extremely elegant appearance, a beautiful beard and chest, wearing a magnolia cloud water robe, and looking at Zhang Yan with a surprised face at this time. Ji Shou said: "Where do you come from?"
Zhang Yan saw him stepping on the cigarette, and knew that he was also a Huadan monk, so he replied: "Poor Zhang Yan is a monk from East Huazhou. Traveling here, I saw this continent hanging in the sky. So I came up to take a look, not wanting to disturb the tranquility of Taoist friends. ”
"It turned out to be a Taoist friend from Donghuazhou. ”
This Taoist exclaimed, and said: "Poor Dao Lu Guo, practicing in this Zhou Hao Xingguan, here is usually rare outsiders, it just so happens that I came here today to draw water, and it is also fate to meet each other, Taoist friends may wish to come to my view and sit." ”
Zhang Yan originally came here to collect Qingyang Gangying in the mountain, but he couldn't get around the master here, and this proposal hit his heart, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "Then it will disturb Daoyou." ”
After Lu Guo exchanged a few polite words with him, the two galloped side by side, heading north, and after traveling for an hour, they saw a Taoist palace built on the top of the mountain in the distance, with glazed golden tiles, surrounded by trees, surrounded by hundreds of birds, and the weather was also grand.
Entering the Dao Palace, Lu Guo led him to the top of the main hall and instructed the surrounding subordinates to go and serve tea, but whether it was a Taoist boy or a servant, they were all quite old, gray-haired, deaf and blind, he shouted a few times before he reacted, and went away with his back on his back.
Lu Guo couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said: "Let the Taoist friends smile, there are no outsiders here on weekdays, and the poor Dao is busy with cultivation, and often a retreat is decades, and I forgot to change a few capable people in time." ”
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Why don't you pass down a few techniques of spitting and prolonging your life for a few years, then you will be free from these troubles." ”
Monks often retreat for dozens or hundreds of years, and they usually pass down the art of breathing to help them live a long life, and if they are lucky, they will often be included in the door wall and become disciples.
Lu Guo sighed again and again, and said: "How do you know that the people here are all dull and embarrassed." ”
After a while, an old man served the tea, Zhang Yan picked up the teacup, tasted it, but the entrance was fragrant, after drinking, there was a stream of aura coiled in the chest, not dispersed for a long time, it was a good tea.
Lu Guo glanced at Zhang Yan at this time, and asked curiously: "I want to ask Daoyou now, this Kunyu, not to mention the paradise, is also to avoid the world, and the idle people can't enter here, all because there is a big array outside, Daoyou can come, presumably they are also good at formations?"
Zhang Yan put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I don't know any formations below, but in the topography of this landscape, there is a hidden heaven and earth article, which has already pointed out the way, and the poor road happens to be good at this way, so it can come." ”
Lu Guo exclaimed, stood up excitedly, and said, "Does the Dao Chief actually know how to etch texts?"
Zhang Yan nodded with a smile and said, "I know a little bit about it." ”
Lu Guo showed an impatient expression, he reached into his sleeve, took out a jade talisman, raised his hands above his head, and said, "Please advise the Taoist." ”
Zhang Yan took it, and as soon as the aura ran for a while, he saw a line of erosion text appearing on it, he swept it casually, and said: "This is a four-sentence formula, it seems to be a method of opening a formation, it is not difficult to solve it, wait for me and Taoist friends to write it." ”
He stretched out his fingers, dipped in the tea, and wrote them down on the table one by one, Lu Guo's eyes were full of wonder, and he looked at it for a moment, at this time he seemed to have solved some problem, and there seemed to be an excitement between his eyebrows that could not be concealed, and he shouted: "I see, I see." ”
He raised his head suddenly, grabbed Zhang Yan's sleeve, looked at him eagerly and said, "The Tao is long, you might as well stay with me for a few more days, there are still many problems in the poor Dao that you want to ask for advice." ”
Zhang Yan looked embarrassed and said, "The poor road only occasionally passes here, I'm afraid it's ......."
Lu Guo couldn't help but be anxious and said, "Fellow Daoist." If there is something needed on the path, it is just a matter of staying for a few more days. ”
Zhang Yan pretended to groan, zuihou sighed, and said, "Daoyou is gracious." The poor road stayed here for a few days. ”
Lu Guo was overjoyed. He arched his hand and said: "Okay, fellow Daoist, sit down for a while, and go back when you go to the poor road." ”
Zhang Yan returned the salute with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoists, please." ”
After Lu Guo said goodbye to Zhang Yan. He rushed into the inner view, followed a road carved out in the belly of the mountain to the back mountain, crossed a jade bridge, came to a cave, and said loudly outside: "The two senior brothers are here." The younger brother asks to see him. ”
After waiting for a while, the stone gate parted, and a Taoist boy came out, bowing and saying, "The third master, the eldest master and the second master, please come in and talk." ”
Lu Guo straightened his robe and clothes, and stepped inside, there were two bright jewel lamps in the cave, which were shining brightly, like the day.
East and West two songs. Each sat a strange-looking Taoist.
The old road in the east is strange-looking, skinny, with drooping eyelids, and seems to be drowsy. Dressed in a half-worn plain white robe, he wrapped himself extremely tightly, covered with a large coat outside, and in front of him was a somewhat rusted copper furnace. There is no incense either.
The man sitting on the west head has a short beard on his chin. Fat as a ball, with scarce hair, only a small tuft tied in a bun, like a small finch squatting on the top of his head, smiling and very rich, he said: "Look at the complexion of the junior brother, could it be that he has encountered some happy event?"
Lu Guo nodded again and again, and arched his hand: "So that the two brothers can know that today I saw a wandering Taoist from outside." ”
The fat Taoist suddenly looked tight, leaned forward, and said in a deep voice, "Where did you come from?"
Even the old man was slightly moved, and he opened his eyes to see.
Lu Guo said without thinking: "Listening to what he said, he has traveled here from Donghua Continent. ”
"From Donghuazhou?"
The fat Taoist looked a little relieved, slowly sat up straight again, and asked, "What kind of cultivation is this person?"
Lu Guo said: "Like the younger brother, he should also be a person who condenses the golden pill." ”
When Lao Dao heard that it was just a Dan cultivation, he closed his eyes and said, "Since he is just passing by, then the third brother will treat him and send him away as soon as possible." ”
The fat Taoist also nodded, and then said with a look of complaint on his face: "Third Senior Brother, you too, how can you let outsiders in at will? How does Senior Brother take care of you? Fortunately, this person is only alone, if he is a person with evil intentions, wouldn't he lead the wolf into the house? ”
Lu Guo panicked, and hurriedly defended: "The two brothers are wrong to blame the younger brother, it is not the younger brother who led him into the mountain, but this person himself broke the formation into the continent. ”
The fat Daoist was suddenly surprised, and said: "How is this possible? Back then, the three of my senior brothers also got the guidance of their uncle, and they spent decades of hard work studying the Great Array before they could enter this Haoxing Dao Palace, this person had no one to guide him, how could he be born here?"
Lu Guo hurriedly said: "This is exactly what the younger brother wants to show the two elder brothers, this person is looking at the terrain of mountains and rivers outside, and he has been guided by the method to get here." ”
Hearing this, the two Taoists were shocked.
The old man's fingers trembled, and a glint appeared in his eyes, and he said, "In this way, this person can read the etching text?"
Lu Guo nodded hurriedly, and said: "The little brother was afraid that he would deceive me, and I also asked him to deduce a few long-pending mantras on the spot, and after trying it, I will know that this person does have this expert!"
Lao Dao was silent for a moment and said, "Where is this person now?"
Lu Guo said: "He is still in the hall, if the two senior brothers allow it, the younger brother will arrange for him to settle down in the view." ”
Lao Dao and the fat Taoist looked at each other, and said: "Third brother, you go and arrange it first, and I will discuss it with your second senior brother." ”
Lu Guo bowed down and said, "Yes, junior brother, let's go." ”
He turned around in a hurry.
Seeing him leave, the fat Taoist couldn't help but say: "Senior brother, if this person really knows the eclipse text, he wants to stay, I have been waiting here for more than 300 years, not for that ......"
The old Taoist stretched out his hand, stopped his words, and muttered for a while, saying: "Don't be busy first, I don't know the origin of this person, wait for my brother to see it for a few days." ”
