Chapter 2 Water Moon Cave Heaven
Pick up the star peak!
As the first main peak of the Izumo Mountain Range, the mountain is 6,800 meters high.
There is a tower on the peak, called the Star Picking Tower, which is 1,200 meters high.
The legendary Water Moon Cave Heaven of the Moon Washing Sect is in this tower.
It is said that the peak was originally 7,600 meters high.
1,800 years ago, in order to build this peak, the Moon Washing Sect was able to cut off the 800-meter peak, and moved it into the Star Picking Tower, since then the Star Picking Tower has become the Water Moon Cave Sky, its handwriting is huge, the spirit is majestic, and it is not known how many times larger than the Langya blessed land of Xiaoyao Palace.
The Star Picking Tower was originally a Taoist soldier, with unlimited space inside, and it was a world of its own, not to mention accommodating an eight-hundred-meter peak, even if it accommodated more places, there was no problem.
There is another hall under the star-picking tower, which is called the temple of the gods.
This hall is the main hall of the Moon Washing Sect, and the internal deliberations of the Moon Washing Sect are carried out in this hall.
Sometimes, when there is a major event, the disciples of the whole sect are summoned, the ceremony is held, and the speech is made on the stage in this hall and the square in front of that hall.
The main hall is a complete building complex, the momentum is magnificent, there are thousands of mansions, the jade Yu Qiong building, the carved fence and jade masonry, can be described as gorgeous.
The four purple mansions of the Moon Washing Sect reside in the temple of the god of ginseng.
Of course, it's now the Five Purple Mansions.
In other words, the entire Water Moon Cave Heaven was actually guarded by the Five Purple Mansions of the Moon Washing Sect, which shows the weight of its significance!
On this day, a young man came up to the Star Picking Peak.
Tang Tribulation!
Standing in front of the temple of the gods, he pushed open the huge temple door, and the hall was a vast starry sky.
In the temple, it is like being in the void, surrounded by starlight twinkling, but there is a silver moon in the distance, no matter how the starry sky changes, that silver moon always hangs high in the sky, emitting an elegant and quiet clear light.
Tang Zheng bowed to the silver moon.
Then a magnificent voice sounded in the main hall: "Tang Tribulation!"
"The disciple is here!" replied Tang Zai.
A cloud of light rose from the void, like a small sun, floating and sinking on the edge of the silver moon.
Look closely, it is clearly a person, sitting cross-legged, hanging in the air, but the whole body exudes a strong light that makes it difficult to see his appearance, that light is clearly the aura, in a special form, a more violent form released, wrapping the whole body, making people like floating and sinking in the ocean of aura, seeing Tang Zheng couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and lowered his head again.
"I am Xuanyue Zhenjun, you have made meritorious contributions in the past career, in order to commend you, give you the Water Moon Cave Heaven and his party, are you ready?"
"Yes, the disciple is ready. Tang Zheng replied.
The light in the void decreased slightly, and Tang Zheng could finally barely see a little bit of Xuanyue Zhenjun's true face, it was a man who was all white, he couldn't tell his age, if he sat there and didn't move, it would only make people think that this was a statue.
That Xuanyue Zhenjun didn't speak, his eyes swept towards him gently, and Tang Zheng only felt a shiver in his heart.
He knew that at this glance, this Xuanyue True Monarch had already seen his whole body, and even the things he brought in the mustard seed bag had been checked by him, and he was afraid that he would see the slightest forbidden things.
Fortunately, this time, Tang Zheng was fully prepared, and did not bring any contraband, such as soul refining beads and other items, which had already been properly placed in his mansion, and was watched by Yiyi.
At this moment, after Xuanyue Zhenjun inspected it, a trace of inexplicable strangeness appeared on his face, as if he was wondering about those things brought by Tang Zheng.
However, he was strange and strange, and finally nodded in agreement.
Then he pinched out a fingerprint with one hand, and gently touched it towards Tang Zheng, and a ray of light had shot towards Tang Zheng's eyebrows.
Tang Zheng only felt that his forehead was hot, and there was already a silver moon mark on his forehead.
Xuanyue Zhenjun said: "This is the mark of entering the tower, with which you can pass freely in the tower." β
Then he waved his sleeves and said, "Go ahead." β
Tang Zheng felt that a force had enveloped him, and flew towards the back of the hall with him.
Flying all the way, countless palace doors rumbled and opened automatically.
Until the last door of the temple opened with a bang, Tang Zheng had already flown out of the temple, and in front of him was a high tower shrouded in mist, which was the Star Picking Tower.
The power took him to continue to fly forward, obviously it seemed to be just a short road, but it took a while to reach the tower, Tang Zheng knew that this was most likely the mechanism secretly spread on the Star Picking Peak, if there was no true monarch to see him off, he was afraid that he would not be able to reach the tower for the rest of his life.
At this moment, before arriving at the tower, the power finally disappeared, and Tang Zheng fell from the sky.
Xuanyue Zhenjun's voice sounded again: "Start here, enter by yourself." After entering the tower, you should keep in mind the rules, and don't break them!"
"Disciple remember, don't dare to forget!"
Xuanyue Zhenjun didn't speak again, and Tang Zheng strode forward.
In front of me is a bronze gate, and there is a relief of a strange beast like a little monkey with three eyes, so I can't see where it came from.
Tang Zheng was about to push the door, but he saw that the relief of the strange beast on the gate actually moved, and smiled at Tang Zai: "Yo, is another kid coming into my belly? Let me think about how long it has been since no outsiders have come in here except for those who are in charge of the fields...... Two years...... Hmm, no, no, it's supposed to be three years, and no one has been here for three years. What's going on with the Moon Washing Sect lately? Is it that the talent is getting more and more withered, or is the big guys in the faction getting more and more stingy?"
Tang Zheng looked at the relief of the strange beast: "Dare to ask Your Excellency?"
The three-eyed monkey beast laughed and said, "I? Didn't I say that you were going to enter my belly." It's stupid, it's stupid!"
"You're the Star Picker?"
The monkey beast crossed his waist and nodded: "That's right, that's right, I am Lord Star Picking Sky Monkey, the soul of this soldier, and the entire Star Picking Tower is under my control." If you dare to break the rules, I can deal with you. Of course, if you're willing to buy me, or I can turn a blind eye. β
The star-picking monkey laughed as he spoke.
"yes, but I didn't bring bananas this time, so let's do it later. Tang Zheng responded, but he ignored it anymore, and just pushed the door in.
The monkey beast looked at Tang Zhengli and ignored himself and went in like this, first stunned, and then burst into anger: "Bastard, bastard, dare to ignore me like this! Banana, he actually said that he wanted to use bananas to coax me, the night sky, did you hear that!"
A chuckle came, and a piece of light appeared in front of the Star Picking Tower, like the Xuanyue True Monarch, like a sun, illuminating all directions, and one person sitting inside, it was the bright night sky.
He sat with his long hair and shawl and his eyes closed.
It wasn't until he appeared at this moment that he raised his head slightly and looked at the star-picking monkey: "I told my predecessor a long time ago that your tricks can't fool him." How? He sees through you without even asking. If the guardian beast is so light, it can be bribed, and even take the initiative to ask for bribes...... Hehe, the six major factions are not the six major factions. β
Although this Star Picking Pagoda has been transformed into a Water Moon Cave genius for less than two thousand years, it itself has a history of more than five thousand years, and even the True Monarch Bright Night Sky has to call it a senior.
"Cut!" the star-picking monkey on the bronze door had already folded his arms, revealing an unconvinced look. It also knew that the disciples who could enter the Water Moon Cave Heaven would definitely not be easy to deceive, in fact, it had been here for nearly two thousand years, and the fools it had deceived could be counted in one slap, but it was still relatively rare for Tang Zheng to not even ask how to buy it.
"What do you think of this son, senior?"
The monkey's eyes rolled around, and then he said: "It's still a talent that can be created, as long as he doesn't violate the rules, I'll help him when I see the opportunity." β
"Then thank you seniors. The night sky smiled and bowed his hand to the monkey, and the person had gradually disappeared and left.
Seeing the night sky disappearing, the star-picking monkey said with a sinking face: "Who can enter this water moon cave heaven is not a good seedling that is favored by people? I don't know how many people have entrusted me to help guide me in the past two thousand years. But even so, how many people can reach the peak? This son contributed 30,000 yuan, and the number of days he could stay was only 100 days. If you want to hit the supreme within 100 days, it's almost impossible! Hmph, monkey, I'd better watch the show and save some effort. β
As soon as he said that, he closed his eyes, and the heavy relief stopped moving, and he didn't pay attention to the matter of the bright night sky.
ββββββββββ
Entering the tower, Tang Zheng saw that he was in a field, surrounded by flowers, and the environment was extremely beautiful.
The aura in the air is extremely rich, it is simply the kind that can be turned into spiritual liquid dripping into the body by taking a breath, and its abundance is much stronger than the Nine Absolute Immortal Array.
It's no wonder that the place where the master of the soldiers returned to the ruins was only him alone, and what he turned into was such a large space.
This Water Moon Cave Heaven is the place where countless powerful people of the Moon Washing Sect return to the ruins, and the effect is naturally different.
If he could, Tang Zheng really wanted to just sit down and meditate and cultivate, without using anything, just by breathing the aura here, his cultivation speed would increase several times.
But if it's just for this, Tang Zheng won't have to spend ten years to contribute.
Even if the concentration of aura here is ten times that of the outside world, a hundred days of time is only equivalent to three years of cultivation outside.
He has only lost three years in the past ten years.
A mountain peak can be seen in the distance of the field.
Tang Zheng knew that this peak was 888 meters high, and it was the peak that was cut off by Xingxing Peak that year.
There is a pool on the top of the peak, called Yingyue Lake, according to legend, the ancestor of this sect is the place where the water moon Tianzun enters the road and ascends, leaving a rich legacy, who can get this mountain, can get a great blessing.
Unfortunately, there is a large array on the peak, and no one can fly here, even if you climb the mountain on foot, you will feel a lot of pressure.
For thousands of years, there have been countless disciples of the Moon Washing Sect, but there are very few who can reach the peak. Even the Tianxin Purple Mansion is no exception, the stronger the strength, the greater the pressure felt, the realm has no advantage here, the only thing that can be relied on is its own will.
In addition, the millennium fields of the Moon Washing Sect are also distributed around the mountains.
The eight-hundred-meter mountain peak is full of spiritual fields cultivated by the disciples of the Lunar Washing Sect, and they are divided by years, planting and harvesting, and the higher the spiritual planting year, the higher the rarity Cheng dΓΉ.
These disciples wore special protective gear, so they were free from the pressure and could go up and down the mountain freely. However, under the watchful eye of the Star Picking Monkeys, although they fiddled with these spirit plants all year round, they did not have the opportunity to obtain even any of them. Occasionally, there are people who take risks, but they don't end well.
According to the rules of the Moon Washing Sect, the thousand-year-old field on this mountain peak, every 100 meters up, you can freely choose a spiritual plant at the same height.
If you go up 600 meters, you can choose every 50 meters.
If you go up to 750 meters, you can choose it every 10 meters.
In addition, it is the legacy of those predecessors.
There are too many seniors who sit in this place and return to the ruins, and there are too many seniors who have left their own experiences at different heights.
These valuable experiences can only be seen and learned by those disciples who have climbed up on their own.
It is precisely for this reason that for every disciple who enters the cave, trying to reach the summit is an indispensable choice - for more valuable resources, for more valuable experience, and for the more abundant and rich aura of the peak.
At this moment, looking at the peak in the distance, Tang Zheng's eyes were already burning with fire.
He let out a low whistle and walked towards the peak, as if slowly, and it was not long before he reached the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is a stone staircase that leads all the way to the summit.
On both sides of the staircase are large terraced fields, and you can faintly see Nongtang disciples wearing special array clothes handling spiritual plants.
Someone saw Tang Zheng coming over and shouted: "Look, someone is coming to climb the mountain!"
This shout attracted many disciples from the Nongtang to watch, and Tang Zheng found that the number of disciples in charge of Lingtian here was actually quite a lot, and there were hundreds of disciples in the terraced fields just a hundred meters below.
Those people looked at Tang Zheng one after another, with envious looks in their eyes.
Don't look at them in this Water Moon Cave Heaven all day long, but in the case of wearing a formation robe, it is difficult to even take a breath of aura here. They are in the treasure mountain, but they can never take a trace of treasure with them, they can only watch those outstanding disciples come here year after year, breathe the spiritual energy here freely, and take away the precious spiritual plants.
"It's Tang Zheng. A farmer's disciple said in a deep voice.
Ten years ago, Tang Zheng was allowed to enter the Water Moon Cave Heaven, and this matter was a sensation in the sect, and naturally many people in the Nongtang disciples knew about it.
"It turned out to be the lucky guy. A Nongtang disciple snorted.
"Good luck?" a Nongtang disciple dressed in a formation robe and holding a coiling dragon stick said disdainfully: "If you can kill hundreds of disciples of the Beast Refining Sect in one go, two Tianxin True Beings, you can also get this good luck." I'm afraid that I won't be able to take the other party's head, but it will become a meritorious achievement in the hands of others!"
The Nongtang disciple who had spoken earlier was immediately choked back by these words.
At this time, Tang Zheng had already come to the stone ladder and began to climb the peak, and was about to step forward, when he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and bowed to the disciples of the Nongtang on both sides, and said loudly: "Tang Zheng has seen the senior brother of the Nongtang, thanks to the thousands of years of cultivation of the senior brothers, there is my Moon Washing Sect, this cave is very important, Tang Zai has entered the treasure land today, thank you!"
His words were sincere and heartfelt.
Everyone didn't expect Tang Zheng to be so polite, and they were all a little overwhelmed for a while.
Over the years, they have cultivated spiritual plants here, and they have also seen many senior brothers come here.
There are those who are polite, that is, nodding to them, which is regarded as respect, and there are those who are perverse bastards, and will even make fun of them for their incompetence, and go up the mountain in a big way without saying anything, and even say all kinds of humiliating words.
Like Tang Zheng, who did not go up the mountain to thank him, it was the first time he had seen it in so many years.
A large group of Nongtang disciples looked at each other, and finally Senior Brother who still looked like a Cong Elder stood up and said, "Senior Brother Tang is polite. The junior disciple has only been in the sect for ten years, and he has to enter the Water Moon Cave Heaven, and he is destined to be the elite of the Moon Washing Sect in the future, and we can only look up to him. In Xia Zhao Hui, I wish Senior Brother Tang a smooth climb and rise all the way!"
The rest of the Nongtang disciples also bowed their hands to Tang Zheng together.
Tang Zheng replied: "Thank you!"
He turned around and took the first step to the top of the mountain.
With this step, Tang Zheng immediately felt that his body suddenly fell to the ground, and he almost fell.
It's gravity!
Tang Zheng had realized something and looked at his feet.
It was just a step away, but there was a completely different feeling on the stairs and under the stairs, when Tang Zheng stood on the first layer of stairs, he obviously felt that something seemed to be pulling him on the ground below, making him a little unable to take a step for a while.
Fortunately, this strength is not too big, just now Tang Zheng was just unprepared, at this moment he was mentally prepared, he continued to step upward, and when he stood on the second stone step, the gravity was really a little stronger.
Tang Zheng finally understood why he couldn't fly here.
Obviously, gravity came from the ground at the foot of the mountain before.
It's not actually gravity, it's a traction.
The farther away from the ground, the stronger the traction from the land, and when it rises to a certain height, I am afraid that I will not even be able to take a step.
Sure enough, the disciple of the Nongtang named Zhao Hui had already said: "Senior Brother Tang, this place is controlled by the big array, and the more you go up, the more difficult it will be. However, this power is applied from below to above, so as long as you can go up the stairs, don't struggle to support it, it will only make the power work on you for a long time, and it will only consume your strength. β
Hearing Zhao Hui say this, Tang Zheng immediately understood the purpose of this arrangement.
Obviously, this bottom-up pull is to give the disciples a chance to break through and rest.
If it's pressure from the top down, then the climber will be stuck in a constant state of weight, which means they don't get rest at all.
If it is ordinary and does not get rest, it is fine, and if it does not get rest in that extreme test, it is tantamount to murder.
What can be limited will not last, and what can last must not be called the limit.
"I see, Parry really thinks far-reaching, thank you brother for reminding me. Tang Zai hurriedly laughed.
Although these peasant disciples have not had the opportunity to climb the mountain, they have been here for many years, and they have seen a lot of various things. At this moment, Zhao Hui's words cleared the fog in his heart, allowing him to save a lot of effort in the future, and it also meant saving a lot of time.
At this moment, as Zhao Hui said, he climbed the mountain in one breath, but he was not strong, and sat down to rest for a while every few steps.
The first 100 meters were the best to climb, so it didn't take long for Tang Zheng to climb the first 50 meters.
There is a bend in the first fifty meters, and there is a stone monument next to the bend to mark the height, and there is a stone bench next to it for visitors to rest.
Tang Zheng was resting on the stone bench, and when he saw Zhao Hui walking around with a coiling dragon stick in his hand, his heart moved slightly, and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, what are you doing with a weapon?"
Zhao Hui replied: "Naturally, it's to prevent those damn monsters from coming to make trouble." β
"Monsters?" Tang Zheng was slightly stunned: "In this Water Moon Cave Sky, there are still monsters?"
