Cao An was completely unaware, but the person who arrived at the Immortal Temple at the scheduled time had a confused look on his face.
Of the two waves of people, the first one to arrive was Li Douer, who was heavy. The two of them arrived at the foot of Fu Lao Guan Mountain before sunset. This place still belongs to Shang Gong Road, and Fu Lao Guan is located in Changshou County, Shang Gong Road. The place where the dragon rises in the Canglang Mountains, a hundred miles outside the county town, was named Canglang Mountains because the entire mountain range undulates like the waves of a large sea, with orderly and distinct ups and downs.
This is a real mountain range. It belongs to an area that the human race has not fully set foot in. Even the administrative divisions of the empire are all away from the Canglang Mountains. Although the Immortal View is not a real power in the world, the entire Canglang Mountains are divided. Those who have entered the sect territory of Immortal View, but this division is more like a child's play.
There is no such thing as the largest sect in the world. It is said to be an honor, but in fact it is a thankless thing. The huge Canglang Mountains, even the power of the empire has not penetrated into it, let alone a single observer. There are only nine Taoist disciples in the Taoist temple, and many villages have gathered under the gate of Bulaoguan Mountain.
A total of eight villages are connected together, so the road leading from Changshou County to Fu Lao Temple is very wide. Fu Lao Temple does not look like a secluded portal living in the mountains. There are many people who go to the mountains to offer incense every day. It is heavy and Li Douer deliberately walked around in the mountains and forests before arriving at the foot of Fu Laoguan Mountain before sunset.
The whole body was completely soaked with sweat. Looking at the stone steps in front of them like a ladder to heaven, the eyes of the two people, one big and one small, were filled with brilliance.
"Competition?"
"If you lose, don't say that you, Brother Shen, are bullying the younger ones."
Li Douer waved his little hand, "Children of the Jianghu, you should be proud of yourself and enjoy your grudges. How can you cry and moan? If you lose, you lose. You have to admit defeat and come out to join the Jianghu. You still understand this principle." After saying that, the two of them shot out electricity. This was a purely physical competition and no other power was used.
A heavy body of martial arts is all contained in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu. This technique focuses on physical strength, and the energy is fierce and domineering. Li Douer's strength is all based on Qi and blood. The weight he carries is almost the limit of his own body, so don't look at it. One big and one small, but in competition, they were equally matched, moving quickly on the steep and daunting stone steps.
"We both settled down at almost the same time, so it can only be considered a tie."
After running out of the stone steps, Li Douer lay directly on the open space in front of the Immortal Temple. The space here was huge, completely contrary to the narrow stone steps. He looked like he had been fished out of the water, just lying on the ground. At this moment, sweat was pouring out all over my body and I couldn't stop it. The only thing I could do was to control my breathing with all my strength.
He took out two Qi and Blood Pills from his arms and drank them. He used the neutral position to regain his strength. The heavy weight was not much better. He took out two Qi and Blood Pills and swallowed them directly. He sat next to Li Dou'er. Now Li Dou'er Although there is still a certain distance between his height and heaviness, he no longer looks like a child.
"Brother Shen, you think we should be the fastest to arrive, right?"
"It should be so. At this time, there are no pilgrims here in Kanlaoguan. If Brother Cao and the others arrive, they will definitely let people come out to find us. Rest peacefully. You try to improve your strength before going back. Stop it, lest when you return to your sect, you will be the strongest and others will make fun of Brother Cao."
In fact, he didn't pay much attention at first, but the last time, when Cao An reminded him that he didn't have much time, Li Douer was really anxious. He was a little worried about his own strength. Don't go back to the sect. Among all the martial artists of his generation, he was the only one. With the lowest strength, at that time, it would not be his own face that would be humiliated, but his elder brother's.
So much so that in the recent period, I have been practicing extremely hard. Since I broke the blood core last time, I have not only recast it in a short period of time, but I have also gone a step further. Now I have condensed eight blood cores around my body.
The two men who had recovered some strength, regardless of the surrounding situation, walked to the edge of the open space, sat down cross-legged and began to refine the energy and blood in their bodies and run their exercises. However, this kind of practice is not a complete meditation, it can only be regarded as... It's just a matter of restoring strength.
Time passed like this, minute by minute, until the sky completely darkened. Inside the Immortal Temple, there was a faint glow of fire seeping out, and the orange-red light gave people a warm feeling just looking at it.
"I'm afraid the master of this Immortal Temple is really capable." There was no evasion in the conversation between the two, nor any barriers. They simply spoke in a voice that both of them could hear. The speaker was heavy, Wufu has a very keen sense of breath, and he can detect the surrounding environment just by sensing it.
"Yes, the atmosphere here is very similar to that of big brother. It makes me feel very comfortable and calm. Even looking at the mountains and rivers here is very interesting." Li Douer grinned. This was what he felt in his heart. The true feeling is that when he is alone, it is very unbearable for him to look at mountains and rivers.
Only when you are by Cao An's side can you have that leisurely mind. I didn't expect that I would have the same feeling here.
"By the way, Brother Shen, haven't they arrived yet?"
He walked to the edge of the fence and looked at the lights of thousands of houses at the foot of the mountain. Night had just fallen, and firelight could still be seen among the farmers' houses at the foot of the mountain. Looking down in front of the main hall of Eternal View, there were dots of stars.
"With Brother Cao's temperament, I'm afraid he has forgotten the time again, but even if Brother Cao forgets, the other two should not forget the time."
While they were talking, a breeze appeared next to them, and the figures of Lao Gou and Zhang Yunlai emerged.
"Master Dog, how could I have forgotten the end point agreed by the master? By the way, let me tell you that the master is still in the mountain. I can sense that he has walked almost half the distance. We estimate that we will have to wait here for them for a day before the two of them can arrive. , let’s go, we’ll hang out with Master Gou and Master Dao tonight.” Lao Bai said carelessly.
The old Taoist Zhang Yunlai smiled. He wasn't very familiar with these two people, nor was he very familiar with Cao An. He was a bit thick-skinned, but he couldn't help but just met them now, so it wasn't easy to say anything.
"Let's go and visit the Immortal Temple. It would be nice if we could get a guest room to rest for a while." Zhang Yun said and took the lead to walk out. The temple of the Immortal Temple is not big, and the entire building There is only the three-layered hall, and its scale is small. Compared with the entire top of the mountain, it is really small.
Its scale is not even as large as some ordinary temples.
The door was not closed, but still open. Zhang Yunlai strode over, followed closely by the big white dog. Shen Sheng and Li Dou'er looked at each other, but there was no pretense, nor did they distrust these two people. Cao An, the middleman, was there. , their trust can be transferred smoothly without having to think too much.
In this world that is extremely repulsive to gods, what is enshrined in Taoist temples is not actual sculptures, but the two characters of heaven and earth. This is also the unified layout of all Taoist temples in the empire. The largest is the two characters of heaven and earth, and the following ones are There will be words such as Tianjun and Zhenjun. What they worship is words.
For example, in Buddhism, the highest one is Buddha, followed by words such as Vajra and Bodhisattva.
It does not refer to anyone specifically. If a warrior has achieved success in his own practice, he can also achieve the status of Bodhisattva and Vajra, just like the heavenly king and true king in Taoism.
A group of four people walked into the Immortal Temple, and no one stopped them until they arrived at the third level hall. Two disciples were sitting cross-legged on the stone pillars on the left and right of the door. The stone pillars were about three feet high, with futons placed on them. , the eaves with the gate above their heads shielded them from wind and rain. When they felt several people approaching, they both opened their eyes.
The courtyard in front of the gate illuminated the place brightly. "A few fellow Taoists came to visit at night. What do you mean?"
Zhang Yunlai took a step forward and said, "I have agreed to meet with my young master here. After nightfall, I would like to use your place to rest temporarily."
"This is the Immortal Temple. Any guest passing by can stay in the first two halls of the temple. You can just go there and choose a room to stay. Those vacant rooms are all available. We will come tomorrow morning Cleaning up and sweeping the room, this last step is the residence of the disciples and the master of this temple, so we cannot entertain them."
Zhang Yunlai nodded. He really didn't know that there was such a rule in the Immortal Temple, and he did not embarrass the two Taoist priests in the martial arts realm at the moment.
"That's it, thank you very much..."
