I don’t know whether it’s due to the rich spiritual energy in the sacred mountain, or the divine power of creation left behind by Emperor Xi after he created the world. The vitality in the entire sacred mountain is extremely strong, and there is also a vast and far-reaching Taoist charm in the mountain that makes people feel calm. echo.
Zhang Qian believes that no matter who he is, when he comes to this sacred mountain, his heart will instantly calm down and he will be fascinated by the eternal years.
Naturally, he was no exception. After standing at the foot of the mountain for a long time, Zhang Gan took steps to prepare to climb the mountain.
You cannot use any escape technique in this sacred mountain, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the ancestral land of the human race, and you will immediately provoke the old antiques who live in seclusion in the mountain.
Zhang Qian didn't want to cause trouble. He came here with a secret mission for World Tree. The stakes were very high and he couldn't be too careful.
He completely regarded himself as a tourist, a tourist who admired the ancestral land of the human race and came here just for sightseeing.
Thinking like this, Zhang Qian was not slow at all. After all, his physical body was there, and every step he took was a very long distance.
It's just that the roads in the mountains are not easy to walk. There are dense forests everywhere, tangled vines, and huge boulders, presenting a variety of strange scenes. There is no fixed road to the top of the mountain, which leads to Zhang Qian only Able to climb up in a zigzag manner.
Unconsciously, more than an hour passed. Zhang Gan looked back and found that he was still not far from the foot of the mountain and had not gone far at all. Of course, this was compared to the sacred mountain in front of him.
This sacred mountain is so huge that it can be called the Pillar of Heaven. Even if Zhang Qian ran, he would still be slow in this huge sacred mountain.
He simply wasn't in a hurry and slowly looked at the scenery in the mountains while moving forward. He didn't feel bored at all.
Blah blah blah...!
After a while, Zhang Gan heard the sound of water flowing in front of him. He turned around and saw a few boulders in front of him. A pool appeared in front of him. The pool was at the bottom of a towering cliff. There was a strange spring on the cliff. Lively spring water flows from the spring and falls along the cliff into the pool below.
Waves of breeze blew, causing the cleansing water to drift away, creating a subtle rainbow. One could hear the sweet chirping of birds near the water pool, making it very lively.
There were even three or five cranes flying above the pool, their golden mouths extended to catch the mist in the air.
Zhang Qian looked at it and admired it. These cranes prefer to be clean, but they don't drink water from the pool. Instead, they fly in the air to drink from the fairy spring that has not landed on the ground.
Upon noticing Zhang Qian's arrival, the cranes spread their wings, chirped a few times, passed through the rainbow in the mist, and flew away in an instant.
Zhang Gan was just about to get some spring water when he heard the sound of light footsteps, making him instantly alert.
Following the sound, from among the jungle, an old man in gray clothes slowly walked out carrying a bamboo bucket.
As soon as the old man appeared, Zhang Qian had a very strange feeling. The old man had a ruddy face, white hair, and an immortal spirit, but the other man's eyes were extremely terrifying. These eyes were like two stars in the sky. Looking down from the sky, there is no emotion at all, only indifference.
Looking into the old man's eyes, Zhang Qian felt as if he had been completely seen through. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
What surprised him even more was that he couldn't actually see through the old man's cultivation. It was as if a layer of fog shrouded him, blocking all exploration.
Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment and was about to say hello to the old man, but unexpectedly, the old man spoke first: "An innate stone spirit? Huh, no, what secret method are you practicing? It actually looks so similar to the innate stone spirit."
This old man didn't know what politeness was, so he directly asked Zhang Qian about the secret body-refining method he had practiced, which made Zhang Qian a little stunned.
Looking at the other party's inquiring eyes, Zhang Qian said softly: "It's just a secret method that I got by chance. It's not worth mentioning. Does the senior know the path up the mountain? I have admired my ancestral land for a long time, but I can't wait to go up and pay my respects. Ichiban.”
"Look at me, you don't need to say these high-sounding words in front of me. Just ask for directions. Why bother to beat around the bush? There is no way to go up the mountain in Zushan. The vitality of nature here is very rich, but if someone steps on the road, it will disappear in the blink of an eye." Overwhelmed by flowers, plants and trees.”
The old man's answer made Zhang Qian stunned, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Is this person really stupid because he is practicing hard here? He speaks so directly?"
Perhaps seeing Zhang Qian's eyes, the old man said: "Come with me. It's rare to see a descendant like you who has cultivated his physical body to such a state. If you are not in a hurry, come and sit in my cave."
Zhang Gan thought about it and nodded directly. He waited for the old man to get the spring water, followed the old man, turned around three times, and came to a moss-covered cliff.
There are more than a dozen caves on the mountain wall, and some caves even have faint power fluctuations coming out. The fluctuations are extremely secretive, but they have great power that shakes time and space. It is obvious that those who are retreating in the caves are not ordinary people, but some cultivators. For terrible power.
The old man led Zhang Gan up the steep stone steps on the side of the mountain wall and came to a cave.
There is a former stone platform in front of this cave, which is about ten feet in size. There is also a winding and twisted pine tree on the edge of the stone platform. The crown of the pine tree is like a canopy, covering the entire stone platform. Behind the stone platform is a cave.
There were stone tables and benches under the pine trees. The entire stone platform looked extremely elegant. Under the old man's instructions, Zhang Gan sat at the stone table. He turned around and saw patches of auspicious clouds floating not far away, and the mountain breeze was blowing. It makes people suddenly feel like they are living in seclusion again, without caring about worldly affairs.
"May I ask your senior's surname?"
After the old man slowly brewed a pot of fairy tea, Zhang Qian asked.
"Name? Just call me Jiuyuan."
The old man's answer made Zhang Qian think that this might be a random name that the other party thought of.
"Okay, Senior Jiuyuan, I'm a little curious, what level of cultivation are you at now? Why can't I see it?"
Zhang Qian vaguely felt that the other party was even scarier than those half-step Taoist Masters of Tianxu Sect, but how could this be possible?
Jiuyuan chuckled: "That's because your cultivation level is too low, so naturally you can't tell. Just like you are a person who hides his destiny, and you are not afraid of other people's calculations by nature. A person who hides his destiny... Yes, back then I Why didn’t you think of that!”
At this moment, the old man seemed to have a sudden realization and kept thinking about it.
Zhang Qian wasn't surprised when someone found out that he was hiding his fate, but what was the reason for the old man's look of realization?
"Senior Jiuyuan?"
The old man murmured to himself for a while, and then his expression suddenly changed. He became like a stone statue, without any emotional fluctuations, even more indifferent than the innate stone spirit in the Emperor's Tomb.
"In the ancient times, I pushed past generations and saw through the fate of the world. I have been waiting here for several eras. I have seen countless people come to Zushan, no less than hundreds of millions. Unfortunately, they are not the people I want to wait for. I originally thought that the original calculation Something went wrong. Only now do I realize that my calculation was not wrong. It was all because the person I was waiting for was a hidden person. Hahahaha. This makes sense. The road has paid off. My waiting has finally come to fruition. Go do what you have to do and I'll meet you there!"
