Sanjiang Road, Jizhou, Baiyun Mountain, Baiyun Temple.
Even though this is not Lu Zheng's first time here, every time he comes here and looks around, he still feels deeply about the charm of this famous mountain.
Looking at Jizhou Prefecture to the west and the Dongtian River to the north, it is backed by rolling mountains. The mountains are majestic and colorful, with tall pines and cypresses and white rocks like jade.
The mountains are green all year round, with an endless sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, gurgling streams in the forest, broken waterfalls splashing mist, birds walking among the trees, and pilgrims climbing the mountains, without affecting each other.
An archway stands at the foot of the mountain, and a white rock mountain road is built along the mountain. The mountains are stacked with rocks to form a road leading to the mountain. It winds up and disappears into the mountain, like a white dragon in the clouds.
From halfway up the mountain, there is a continuous Taoist palace leaning against the mountain and rocks. It seems irregular, but it has its own Taoist essence. The palaces and pavilions are scattered everywhere, hidden among the pines and cypresses, with cornices and corners exposed, green tiles and white walls. .
There is only a large platform halfway up the mountain, and a square with a radius of dozens of feet has been opened up. The ground of the square is painted with cloud patterns, and behind the square is a tall and broad hall.
It is Baiyun Temple's external landmark buildings, Yunlu Terrace and Taiqing Hall.
Lu Zheng's body was filled with innate clouds. At this moment, he was suspended in the sky several miles away from the main entrance to the west of Baiyun Mountain. He could just see the whole view of Baiyun Temple on Baiyun Mountain.
On the mountain road, there is an endless stream of pilgrims going up the mountain. In the hall on the platform, there are many pilgrims praying. Around the mountain, there are many Taoist priests who are picking up the guests and guiding them, giving incense, interpreting fortunes, and giving charms and spells.
What a famous Taoist mountain, a scene of a blessed place in the world.
"Junior brother Yuan Zheng, since you are here, why don't you go into the mountain?"
A voice rang in Lu Zheng's ears. Lu Zheng turned around and saw a young Taoist priest wearing blue and white robes appearing next to him. He carried a cloud pattern sword on his back and an ebony whisk on his arm. He has a tall and handsome figure, a face like a crown jade, smart eyes and a long charm.
"Senior Brother Yuanye?" Lu Zheng turned around and said in surprise.
The visitor was Taoist Priest Yuan Ye who was injured near Tonglin County and was rescued by Yuan Jing back to Baiyunguan.
Yuan Ye's cultivation back then was not weak, but now he has made further progress and can already fly in the clouds and travel around the world.
"Yuan Jing didn't come?" Yuan Ye looked at Lu Zheng and asked with a smile.
"Senior Brother Yuanjing is now the host of Baiyun Temple in Tonglin County. This is still his first year in office, so he will not be coming this year to host the New Year Dharma Assembly in the temple," Lu Zheng said.
"Junior Brother Yuan Jing is the host?" Yuan Ye asked curiously, "Where is Senior Uncle Ming Zhang?"
He has been traveling outside this year, and he doesn't know that Taoist Master Mingzhang was called back to the mountain.
Lu Zheng thought for a while and said immediately, "Master is favored by the master and was recalled to the back mountain to teach in person. He should be in retreat at the back mountain at this time."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ye nodded with deep feeling, "Uncle Mingzhang is very talented. He didn't start early, but he practiced very quickly. Now he has been summoned by the master to join the back mountain. He is really enviable."
Lu Zheng repeatedly agreed, "Exactly, but senior brother is also very powerful. When you come back this time, are you afraid that you will also join the back mountain?"
"Don't dare." Yuan Ye waved his hands repeatedly, looked at Lu Zheng and smiled, "Junior brother hasn't even entered the back mountain, how can he reach it?"
He knew Lu Zheng's strength. Back then, he was seriously injured by the clone of True Lord Ye Gu and fled in embarrassment. However, Lu Zheng actually entered the netherworld and killed True Lord Ye Gu's body one on one.
The gap between the two is more than one True Lord Night Bone.
Even though Yuan Ye has been through life and death in the past two years and has made rapid progress in his Taoism, he still thinks that he cannot defeat True Lord Ye Gu, let alone Lu Zheng, who can kill True Lord Ye Gu alone.
Unfortunately, Yuan Ye didn't know that Lu Zheng had met Si Lingxi. The first time he practiced dual cultivation in October last year, he was close to two thousand years of Taoism. After a year of continuous cultivation and the previous period of seclusion and dual cultivation in Shenhuo Cave, he had reached three thousand years. Taoism.
Are you afraid of the speed of progress of a thousand years a year?
Lu Zheng felt that since he met Si Lingxi, he had made faster progress and had a tendency to evolve from linear functions to exponential functions.
The ten thousand year old master is really terrifying!
So after hearing Yuan Ye's words, Lu Zheng shook his head to express his gratitude, "Junior brother has several wives in Tonglin County, and he doesn't want to stay in the back mountains for a long time."
Yuan Ye couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to guide him, "Let's go up the mountain together."
Lu Zheng also smiled and said, "Let's go!"
So the two of them stepped on the clouds and the wind, and flew towards the Taoist Palace of Baiyun Mountain.
This place is close to Baiyun Mountain, and it is the time when people can show their saints in front of people, so the two of them do not hide their figures. Therefore, many people who are on the side of the mountain road can see the two people flying in the clouds and mist when they look up.
"It's the real person from Baiyun Temple!"
"I can't see clearly, but it looks like there are two of them!"
"They are like gods. How can ordinary people like us be able to see them clearly? Being able to see them from a distance is already a blessing for our generation."
"It makes sense. Today we are lucky enough to see the face of an immortal. I must burn a stick of incense when I go up the mountain to pray for my success in the coming year."
"Exactly, let's go, let's go up the mountain quickly!"
When many civilian pilgrims were hurrying up the mountain, Lu Zheng and Yuan Ye had already flown into Baiyun Temple.
If the non-Baiyun Guanmen dared to fly in so blankly, the seniors in the back mountain would probably have taken action, but for their own disciples, especially their extremely accomplished disciples, it would naturally be fine.
Yuan Ye said goodbye to Lu Zheng and went to see his master.
Lu Zheng had heard that Yuan Ye's master was just an ordinary Taoist priest of the Ming Dynasty, with ordinary cultivation and no hope of immortality. However, accepting Yuan Ye as his disciple would be his pride for the rest of his life.
After bidding farewell to Yuan Ye, Lu Zheng came to the small courtyard of Taoist Master Mingzhang and saw that Taoist Master Mingzhang was already waiting in the small courtyard.
"Master!" Lu Zheng stepped forward and saluted.
Taoist priest Ming Zhang stretched out his hand to hold Lu Zheng up, but he did not lift him up.
After touching his nose, after Lu Zheng paid his respects, he pulled him to a seat and asked, "How is Yuan Jing doing?"
"Master teaches well, and senior brother Yuanjing manages the Taoist temple in an orderly manner." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
"Very good, very good." Taoist Master Ming Zhang nodded and smiled, very satisfied. He chatted with Lu Zheng for a few more words, and then remembered something, "Master also mentioned you to me and asked me if you would come back this year. Now that you are here, go and see the master and the temple master."
】
Lu Zheng nodded and smiled, "After meeting the master, I will go to meet the temple master and master."
"Go, go, I'll live here. If you have anything to say, I'll talk to you when I get back." Taoist Master Mingzhang waved his hand and said with a smile, "I don't know you yet, I guess you have to go to the back hall warehouse, you first Give the gift you brought to me to my teacher."
Lu Zheng smiled and took out the Wuliangye, Flower Withering Wine, two bottles of elixirs, and two bottles of spiritual wine, and handed them to Taoist Master Mingzhang, and then went to the main hall to look for the real Mingyu.
