Finally, I set foot on the right path of Tian Qingding, and finally walked towards the right path of Tian Qingding. However, as the trip progressed, Yu Ning sighed that the dangers on the mountain road this time were more exciting than before. In some sections of the road, the stone road is as narrow as a thread, which can accommodate one person passing by, and on the outside is the mysterious cliff and deep pool. What is even more frightening is that one section of the stone road, when viewed from the bottom up, seems to be out of thin air. Clinging to the steep cliff, there is no support left or right.
Even if a young man is extremely courageous and faced with such a dangerous situation, he will inevitably feel scared when he sees it for the first time. Especially when he stepped on the stone steps in the cliff, he saw the surrounding mountains roaring like a tsunami. The spectacular scene made it difficult for this young man who had just entered Tianqingding to suppress his inner awe. .
According to Qi Nanhua, when the mountain road was first opened here, the mountain was extremely dangerous and there was no place to stand, making it even more difficult to dig the path. Just when everyone was at a loss, a senior used magic to create a winding stone staircase on the rocky cliff cut by a sharp blade.
As we approached the top of Tianqing, the mountain wind suddenly rose like a violent billow, clouds and mist rose, and Yu Nian suddenly felt a chill all over his body. However, when he reached the top of Tianqing, he unexpectedly felt that his body was once again contaminated by the warm and pleasant spring atmosphere outside the mountain. As Lu Yingchao said before, this place is indeed like a fairyland on earth, with beautiful mountains and green Yao grass, showing a vibrant landscape.
As soon as he stepped into Tianqingding, the old Taoist priest couldn't wait to look around. The gate in front of you is made of finely carved marble. It is broad and majestic, with towering walls and exquisite decorations, like a dragon riding a phoenix, magnificent and magnificent. What is written on the right side is: Mighty and righteous energy fills the sky; on the left side is engraved: Zhuo Jueying's spirit inspires ancient and modern times; above it is a horizontal inscription with four large characters: Heaven and Earth Qingming.
In front of the gate stand two majestic and solemn male lions. Their shapes are lifelike. At first glance, they look like the real thing, and they seem to be ready to pounce on the passing tourists at any time. The pair of angry eyes stared at the visitors from all directions, seeming to open their huge mouths to swallow the essence of heaven and earth. Just a glance from a distance is enough to make people tremble with fear and lose their minds.
"It is indeed a fairyland and a divine residence. It is majestic and majestic. This mountain gate alone is so majestic." Yu Nian stared at this wide mountain gate, his eyes traveling between the couplets on both sides of the door. He was almost intimidated by the stone lion guarding the mountain gate. Feeling uneasy, he patted his chest and quickly turned his gaze away. He followed his gaze into the gatehouse and saw a long jade staircase leading to the top of the mountain like a giant dragon hovering above the green mountain. At the end is a mountaintop surrounded by clouds and smoke. The wind and clouds there change all the time, but the light is always shining like a shadow, and it is filled with rich aura.
It is worthy of being called the great sect of the Immortal Sect. It has a myriad of phenomena and is vast and boundless, just like being in a wonderland that controls the top of heaven and earth.
For the rest of the year, my blood is boiling and I can't restrain myself. If I can join such a sect in the Immortal Mountains, I will definitely become a great leader. Perhaps in the future, I may also become an immortal sect hero who can control flying swords and slay demons.
The girl was also shocked by the spectacular scenery in front of her. Although she set foot on Tianqingding for the first time, she had only heard that Sifang Mountain was one of the three gates, but she did not know how powerful these three gates were. Now that she came here in person, it was really magnificent. If a mountain gate is so majestic, wouldn't the main hall be even more majestic?
She glanced at the excited Yu Nian beside her. She did not express her shock directly and exaggeratedly like him. She just swallowed quietly and remained silent, appearing quite reserved. This is completely different from her usual lively and active personality.
Only the old Taoist priest came to the mountain gate and gently touched the jade gate, his eyes wandering around every detail, and then lightly touched the head of the stone lion guarding the mountain gate. His eyes turned to the distance of the steps, as if eager to pass through. Through this long trail, you can get a glimpse of the end. Without waiting for any reminder, Lu Yingchao took the lead and stepped onto the steps leading to the Sifang Mountain Immortal Gate.
Yu Nian saw this and followed closely behind. Yang Qing followed slowly.
Seeing this, Lu Yingchao quickly caught up. There were many restrictions hidden in the three thousand steps of the Tianqingding Hall. If he entered rashly, he would definitely be counterattacked by the mountain-protecting formation.
However, the old Taoist priest, Yu Nian and others ignored them and marched ahead on their own.
Qi Nanhua caught up with Lu Yingchao and said in a low voice: "Since the senior calls his uncle his senior brother, he has such a high seniority, so there is no need to worry."
Lu Yingchao looked back at Qi Nanhua, feeling tangled in his heart.
Putting aside Yu Nian and Yang Qing, the old Taoist priest alone cannot let him take risks rashly. Although the old Taoist priest is indeed a disciple who has wandered away from Sifang Mountain and has not returned for many years, I wonder if he is aware of the oppression of the mountain guarding formation. If Because of this setback, I am afraid that we will still be guilty of poor hospitality.
Lu Yingchao decided to prevent the old Taoist priest and others from taking risks, but before he could speak, he saw the old Taoist priest climbing to a certain flight of stairs and then stopped. When Yu Nian and Yang Qing were wondering, the old Taoist priest made a seal with his hand and murmured a series of profound mantras. In an instant, Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the air in front of the three people, like a gap opened by a veil. The ripples around the gap surged and shone with real rays of light.
The scenery within the gap was no different from the outside world, as if a transparent barrier had been set up in front of them. However, after the old Taoist priest finished reciting the incantation, the barrier opened a gap for them to pass through.
There are three thousand jade steps, one step at a time and one step at a time.
Stepping onto the steps leading to the Immortal Gate of Sifang Mountain, Yu Nian was half-stepped into the Immortal Gate. The majestic and stretching steps could not be seen to the end, but the glow and clouds at the end revealed the atmosphere of leaving the mortal world.
Even on both sides of the jade steps, the trees planted are towering and green, and there are birds dancing in the forest, deer chirping, birds and animals, exotic flowers and grasses, and the mist visible to the naked eye exudes a cool breath, soaking into the eyes of pedestrians. The skin is cold but refreshing, taking a deep breath, the mind is clear, the limbs are strong, and the energy is refreshed.
"This forest seems to be extraordinary." Yang Qing felt the breath of the forest and said suddenly.
Lu Yingchao immediately responded: "The mountains here contain a strong spiritual energy. The flowers, plants and trees here have been carefully cultivated by Sifang Mountain for many years. They are nourished by the spiritual energy and have a certain spirituality. Even the flowers and rare birds and animals in the forest are the same. "
"I see." Yang Qing nodded and cast her eyes deep into the forest, full of curiosity. All the scenes were extremely novel in her eyes.
Perhaps it was because of the nourishment of spiritual energy that I didn’t feel tired at all along the way.
Many disciples flew out of the building with swords, creating streaks of rays of light in the sky. Flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses surged from the ground, cranes danced together, turtles lurked at the bottom, apes and monkeys clung to cliffs, elk flew over hills and streams, and auspicious clouds gathered. , three flowers gather on the top of the head, the sword energy is vertical and horizontal, and the five qi of heaven and earth are facing the yuan. It's fluttering like an immortal descending to earth, and it's as dim as a forest of heavenly palaces. The clouds, mountains, and sea are shrouded in smoke, the inside and outside are ethereal, and the workmanship is extremely beautiful. What a fairy atmosphere.
The old Taoist priest stared at this scene, slightly dull, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Then he turned to Lu Yingchao and said, "Let's go, take me to see the master."
Lu Yingchao nodded and said, "Senior, the master resigned from the post of head teacher ten years ago, and now it is senior brother Zhang Xuanfu who is in charge of the sect's affairs."
"Everyone is fine, let's go." The old Taoist priest sighed and replied.
When he arrived at Tianqingding Hall, Lu Luying explained his purpose to the disciples waiting in front of the door, and asked to inform the headmaster that Yu Nian was already waiting outside the door.
At this time, Sifang Mountain's headmaster Zhang Xuanfu and the peak masters of all the peaks gathered here.
Lu Yingchao clasped his hands and reported: "Brother, Master, Lu Yingchao has come to return."
Facing the most famous Taoist priest in Sifang Mountain, the young man had made many imaginations about his appearance. Although there are many images that come to mind, all of them, without exception, look like a tall, majestic, fairy-like old man. However, when he saw the headmaster of Sifang Mountain with his own eyes, Yu Nian was surprised to find that it was completely different from what he had imagined. This headmaster was not aging as he imagined, but had an elegant temperament and a pale and sick look on his face.
"Yes." Zhang Xuanfu nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Yu Nian behind him, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he fell into a brief shock.
Before he could speak, the Xuannv Peak heroine next to her had already dimmed her eyes. She stared at the old Taoist priest next to Yu Nian infatuatedly. Even though the old Taoist priest seemed to be in despair at this time, his features and eyes were so familiar. The people in my memory are the same.
"Jingqiu, it's you indeed!" The heroine from Xuannv Peak walked up to the old Taoist priest and forgot about her image. Her tearful eyes stayed on his face for a moment, her expression full of hatred, and she gritted her teeth and said: "You sixteen years ago He left the clan and has not been heard from since, and has not been heard from since, so why didn’t he die outside?”
The old Taoist priest looked embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "Senior Sister Changli, it's been a long time, but now you are also old and yellow?"
Changli glared at the old Taoist priest fiercely, and wanted to reach out and twist his ears, just like before, but as soon as he raised his hand, he thought that the two of them had been apart for sixteen years, and it was not easy for him to come back now. How could he treat him like this? Take action? After thinking about it like this, I felt relieved and just said a few words to him.
The old Taoist priest recalled that time, in fact, Changli had outstanding appearance when she was young, and countless disciples inside and outside Sifang Mountain had a crush on her. However, a huge change occurred sixteen years ago, and the law of heaven came back. Everyone was seriously injured, and their longevity was reduced sharply. Changli also His life was wasted in this turmoil, and he looked old.
Yang Qing watched this scene from the side and was quite surprised. It was rare for her father to be so reserved.
The old Taoist priest and Chang Li were still arguing. On the other side, Pingqiu, the master of Luoxia Mountain Peak, couldn't help but stepped forward when he saw the old Taoist priest. He and Jingqiu came from the same sect and had practiced together since they were young. Regarding this, As a senior brother, his feelings may be deeper than those of senior sister Changli.
"It will be good if Senior Brother Jingqiu comes back." Pingqiu walked up to the old Taoist priest with a smile on his face. He said goodbye to the old Taoist priest. He thought that the two of them might never see each other again, but he didn't expect that the sky has eyes. Today, Senior Brother Jingqiu finally finally came back.
Pingqiu stared at the old Taoist priest, and many memories came to mind.
When he first entered the sect, Sifang Mountain was at its peak. The sect had many disciples and was powerful. It was worthy of being one of the three sects. He went through many hardships to join the sect. He originally thought that he would rise to prominence from then on, but all the disciples around him were... Among men, even though he was able to enter Sifang Mountain, he was still not as good as the disciples who started at the same time. Ranked last.
In the dead of night, he once hid in a corner of Luoxia Mountain and secretly cried. He heard the sound of someone shouting. He heard the sound and went away. He found a man practicing with a sword in the courtyard. It was cold in the middle of the night, but this man was naked, only wearing clothes. Shan Yi was practicing his sword in the courtyard, the sound of the sword whistling echoed with the sound of drink from his mouth. Despite the cold wind, he remained unyielding.
Jingqiu, who was practicing, discovered the person hiding in the dark, turned around suddenly, and pointed his sword directly at him.
Pingqiu stepped out from the darkness, cowering and hesitant. He had no one in Sifang Mountain, so he could only bear the pain in his heart alone.
"I recognize you, you are also a new disciple." Jingqiu put the sword in his hand and walked up to Pingqiu. Seeing that his eyes were moist and there were still tears in his eyes, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why are you so sad?"
Pingqiu shook his head and whispered: "Sword Testing Peak Competition."
Jingqiu smiled when he heard this.
Pingqiu looked at Jingqiu and couldn't help but remember that he had watched his competition before. Jingqiu's ranking was not very good, so he asked: "I remember that your ranking is not very good, only slightly higher than me. You Aren’t you sad?”
"Why should I be sad?" Jingqiu replied: "The selection for the Sword Trial Competition is originally focused on those with outstanding qualifications, but those with lower qualifications are not destined to give up this life. We are all beginners, and many If you still lack knowledge, just learn slowly. The more you learn, you will always find an area in which you are good at. Why should you be obsessed with the results of a big competition?"
Pingqiu was stunned for a moment. He felt that Jingqiu's words seemed quite reasonable, but he didn't understand why Jingqiu was wielding his sword here in the middle of the night since it was meaningless.
Pingqiu stared into Jingqiu's eyes, trying to find out some information. However, Jingqiu's eyes were clear and bright, like the bright moon in the night sky, without any hint of hypocrisy.
Jingqiu smiled and said: "Although I show that I don't care, I don't say that I am indifferent. When we step into the gate of the Immortal Family, we are not hoping for higher rankings, but yearning for a more profound path, which is an unfathomable magic. It is a heroic act of chivalry, a determination to slay demons and demons, and the pursuit of immortality, and all of this requires a heart that keeps climbing and making progress. Therefore, why shouldn't I practice swordsmanship here?"
Pingqiu hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to respond. Judging from Jingqiu's answer, he has loftier ideals and pursuits. He sees things more profoundly than others and has his own direction in his heart instead of following the crowd.
