Chen Chao stayed in Xishan for three days. Except for the first day when he struggled to explain those things clearly to Zhu Xia, the other two were quite relaxed. They were just led by Zhu Xia to wander around the mountains, where the Wantian Palace is located.
This mountain and stream looks ordinary, but in fact there are many places with unique caves, especially on one of the peaks, there are more than twenty fairy springs flowing, and the fairy springs flowing out of each fairy spring are extremely sweet.
Moreover, it is full of immortal energy. This kind of spring water is created by heaven and earth. Daily drinking by monks can wash away the impurities in the body, improve their cultivation, and calm their mind.
When used in elixir refining, it can activate the medicinal properties of the elixir.
In the past, Shenshui Villa had only one fairy spring, which attracted countless people to compete for it. The number of fairy springs in Wantian Palace was far more than that in Shenshui Villa, but no one dared to take their idea.
Sometimes Chen Chao also lamented that an ordinary sect would have to spend countless energy to get something like this, let alone a bottle, but in a place like Wantian Palace, there is almost inexhaustible supply.
Even if a disciple is not talented enough, he can still make up for the gap with these things.
This is why large sects can almost always thrive. After all, this is the foundation. As long as there is no chaos, there is basically no problem for a sect to maintain its basic operation.
If an ordinary sect wants to rise, in addition to the hard work of several generations, it must also hope that its disciples will produce one or two geniuses, and then a group of disciples with first-class qualifications before they can climb up.
Already.
Take Chen Chao himself as an example. Before he went to the capital of the gods, he had to kill monsters for some medicine to strengthen his body.
But gone
After arriving in Shendu, the recruitment of the two princes and the promise from the guarding envoy's office immediately relieved Chen Chao from having to worry about those expenses.
You know, in fact, if you want to support a martial artist to the state of forgetfulness, you will consume a lot of medicinal materials and other things, which is even more expensive when converted into a day's money.
If Chen Chao's two disciples hadn't had such a good master, they would probably have fallen into a situation where it would be difficult to become a hero for a penny.
If he hadn't been thinking about his two stupid apprentices and other things, Chen Chao would not have chosen to do business with Lu Xin before.
Speaking of Lu Xin, in fact, the business genius of the Lu family had already started preparing to start business after returning to the divine capital. He had previously sent someone to deliver a letter to Xie Nandu, and then Xie Nandu forwarded it to Chen Chao
, Logically speaking, the business has already started. As for the specific content, Chen Chao did not look into it in detail, but according to what they said, if there are no accidents, there should be the first dividend in the spring of next year.
Chen Chao was not too concerned about this, but rather believed that Lu Xin was not the kind of person who would deduct dividends from him. Xie Nandu also said something along with the letter. She also rarely praised Lu Xin, and finally she said
I also want to invest in that business, and I will watch it with Lu Xin when the time comes.
When Chen Chao saw this, he knew that there was no chance of losing money in this business. This one was a business genius, and the other was a top-notch talent in Daliang. If these two could still lose money in business, then this world would be true.
It makes no sense anymore.
There is almost no need to worry about this matter anymore. The disciples from Wantian Palace came earlier and told Chen Chao a very interesting story.
Meaningful things.
A few members of the family who came to Wantian Palace to offer incense before. After the little girl woke up, she didn't see Chen Chao. She kept making noises and refused to go down the mountain. After that, she hugged the pillars in front of the hall and refused to leave, saying anything.
If they wanted to see Chen Chao again, the disciples in the main hall in front had nothing to do. After all, it was not easy to go to Chen Chao at that time. Later, the woman tried her best to take the little girl away, but on the pillar over there, this meeting
The child even left the little girl’s teeth marks.
Chen Chao later took a special look and found that there was indeed a row of small tooth marks.
This shows how hard the little girl worked to not leave.
Although this was a small episode, it still reminded Chen Chao of what Li Yu said.
Maybe it's fate.
But now that the little girl has gone down the mountain, Chen Chao still has things to do, but there is nothing he can do.
Chen Chao recovered his thoughts and saw a disciple of Wantian Palace approaching, saying that the saint had invited him to visit the Three Thousand Buildings in the back mountain.
It is rumored that Taozu left three thousand Taoist scrolls, which was the beginning of Taoism. But in fact, it was only said in Taozu's handwritten notes. No one has actually seen the three thousand Taoist scrolls written by Taozu. It is the place where the scriptures are stored in Wantian Palace.
The name only indicates its origin.
It's just that since these three thousand floors are the Buddhist scriptures of Wantian Palace, outsiders can enter at will.
Chen Chao thought for a while and asked: "Where is the Palace Master?"
The disciple of Wantian Palace understood clearly and said softly: "The palace master had made it clear before Lord Guard Envoy went up the mountain that Lord Guard Envoy could go anywhere in the mountain, except for the place where Senior Tianyu Peak cultivated in the back mountain.
.”
Chen Chao was startled. As a result, he couldn't understand Wantian Palace's attitude towards him.
.
Theoretically, these places are not open to ordinary outsiders. Is it because you feel that you are a martial artist and do not know the Taoism? Aren't you afraid that you will memorize the Taoism and spread it?
Chen Chao, who couldn't figure it out, didn't think much about it. Since he said so, he just went there.
Sanqianlou is located on the Willow Peak of Xishan. The peak is named because it resembles a willow leaf. When Chen Chao looked at it from a distance, he also sighed at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature. Only heaven and earth can create such a scene.
.
Approaching Liufeng, Zhu Xia has been waiting here for a long time. She is wearing a long red dress, which looks very bright, but it doesn't feel too flashy.
On the contrary, it is like a blooming flower, warm but not kitsch.
Chen Chao took another look and said nothing.
Zhu Xia jumped over and asked with a smile: "Does it look good?"
Chen Chao nodded honestly but said nothing.
This made Zhu Xia a little disappointed. Originally, she wanted to ask Chen Chao to praise her, but the result was not satisfactory.
After that, the two of them came to the tall building on the top of the mountain that reached into the clouds.
On the plaque in front of the building, three words were written casually: Three Thousand Buildings.
These three words are not impressive and seem a bit ordinary, but it is said that they were written by the first founder of Wantian Palace. The Taoist master of the Taoist sect was the first-class Taoist master in the world at that time. He was a member of the Taiping Taoist lineage.
No one dares to despise the name of the Patriarch.
What made Chen Chao feel strange was that there were no guarding disciples in front of this three thousand building.
Chen Chao asked curiously: "In such an important place, Wantian Palace is so safe?"
Zhu Xia said casually: "There are elders Qingxiu in the building, no one can follow
Take away the collection of books here."
"A real Taoist?"
Chen Chao took a look at Sanqianlou and felt the Taoist charm here. It was definitely not formed overnight. Without thousands of years of accumulation, it would be difficult to do so.
"He is a Taoist master."
Zhu Xia said sadly: "He is my master's younger brother."
Chen Chaoyi was startled. Zhu Xia's master was once the Taoist master with the highest seniority, seniority and prestige in Wantian Palace. Even the original Master of Chixin Temple had to treat this Taoist master with the courtesy of a junior.
The little junior brother of the great Taoist master, I think he lived for many years.
Zhu Xia sniffed and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. She took Chen Chao's hand and walked to the Sanqian Building.
As soon as he stepped into the Three Thousand Buildings, Chen Chao was surprised. From the outside, he saw that this building was already high enough. But now that he stepped inside and looked up, he really felt how majestic it was. He couldn't even see the top at a glance.
On top of each other, the stairs go up all around and lead to the highest point.
Three thousand floors. Is there really three thousand floors?
Chen Chao looked at Zhu Xia, who groaned, not understanding what Chen Chao meant.
Chen Chao was speechless and could only ask with a smile: "Three Thousand Floors, are there really three thousand floors?"
Zhu Xia shook his head and said: "I don't know. Taoism and Dharma books become more difficult from childhood to higher. I have been to dozens of floors at most, and even higher places. I can't go there without Wangyou."
"The elders in the mountains have never said how high these three thousand buildings are. If you want to know how high they are, you can just walk up and down each floor to see."
Zhu Xia smiled and said: "The first few floors are easy to climb, but when you get to the back, it's not that easy."
The Three Thousand Towers store Taoist classics, and climbing the tower also tests the disciples’ cultivation.
, this kind of test is not just a simple practice, but also a test of the original mind, which is very complicated. Some monks who have forgotten their worries can only stop moving forward after climbing hundreds of floors, while some people can still go up hundreds more.
building.
Chen Chao nodded. Sanqianlou was famous and he really wanted to visit it.
The first floor is filled with introductory Taoist teachings, and there are a lot of people there. Many disciples are browsing here, most of them are concentrating on it, and don't pay attention to anyone around them. A few disciples slightly saluted Chen Chao after seeing him. Some would
He spoke in a low voice, but never made a loud noise.
Many Taoist priests are somewhat curious about this new governor of Daliang.
Zhu Xia and Chen Chao quickly walked along the wooden stairs towards the second floor. The two floors were not very close to each other. After reaching the second floor, there were far fewer disciples here.
Chen Chao casually picked up a Taoist classic on the bookshelf beside him. Without opening it, he already felt the Taoist aura.
It is the breath left by the writer on it.
Each of these classics has a different writer, and each writer will leave their breath on them when writing these classics.
Chen Chao did not open the book, but took a look at the cover and put it back.
Zhu Xia asked curiously: "Why don't you open it and take a look?"
Chen Chao smiled and said: "I am a martial artist, what can I do if I watch Taoism?"
Zhu Xia snorted and whispered, "It seems to be the same."
Chen Chao laughed dumbly. He had known that this little girl wouldn't think so much. If it were someone else who came here, I'm afraid they wouldn't think so.
After that, Chen Chao followed Zhu Xia up several floors, and in a blink of an eye, he was outside the twentieth floor.
densely packed with the first few floors
The bookshelves here are different. There are fewer bookshelves here, but the atmosphere is much richer than before.
The writers of these Dao sect classics are probably people with extremely advanced realms.
Although the Wantian Palace has repeatedly declined in Taoism over the years, its foundation is as deep as an old well with no bottom. No one knows how clear the spring water at the bottom is.
Chen Chao shook his head. Compared with these sects that often lasted for hundreds or thousands of years, Daliang still seemed a little weak.
After continuing to climb the stairs, the bookshelves were getting fewer and fewer as expected, and the Taoist classics were also getting fewer and fewer. However, the Taoist classics I saw along the way actually exceeded three thousand volumes.
But everyone knows that there is not much difference between the three thousand volumes here and the thirty thousand volumes here, because they are destined to be inferior to the three thousand volumes written by Daozu.
Those three thousand volumes are just like the Tao Ancestor's Notes, they are the real treasures of the Tao Sect.
I wonder if there is a Taoist scroll written by the Taoist ancestor hidden in the three thousand floors of the Wantian Palace.
Chen Chao was extremely curious about this.
After all, as the founder of one of the three religions, the Taoist ancestor lived in an era too long ago to be found. However, this Taoist leader, both in terms of status and Taoism, is destined to be higher than all the Taoist monks in the world.
If one could take a look at the Dao scrolls written by Dao Ancestor, I'm afraid it would be of great benefit to Chen Chao, even if he was just a martial artist.
With this idea in mind, he has climbed more than a hundred floors. The disciples of Wantian Palace that he can see here are already older. It is difficult to see young disciples, but some middle-aged Taoists.
Chen Chao paused for a moment, as if continuing to climb the stairs, but did not notice Zhu beside him.
Xia was already out of breath.
"What's wrong with you? Are you tired?"
Chen Chao glanced at Zhu Xia and asked casually.
Zhu Xia complained: "You are in the Wangyou state, so of course you don't feel it, but do you know? Now that we are here, it is no longer a place that ordinary monks can come to."
Although Zhu Xia is highly talented, she has only few years of practice, and she doesn't like to practice hard, so by now, she can no longer hold on.
Chen Chao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "How about you wait for me here, and I will go upstairs to have a look? But this shouldn't affect anything, right?"
Zhu Xia nodded, not politely, sat down on the stairs and said, "You can go if you want, but the higher you go, the harder it will be. Don't hold on, you will get hurt."
Chen Chao nodded.
At this moment, he really wanted to go up there and have a look. He even felt that something was calling him.
That feeling is indescribable.
