Yang Ren's Soaring Cloud Technique carried the three of them extremely quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, with the wind blowing in their ears, they traveled thousands of miles and arrived in front of a mountain range.
Yang Ren said: "This is the blessed land of Qingfeng Mountain."
All you can see is the steep mountains, with the sky above them, almost reaching into the clouds. There are often white cranes flying among the layers of clouds.
Downward for hundreds of miles, there are continuous mountains, with mountains and mountains connecting the Kunlun Mountains. Among the pines, cypresses, junipers and vines, there are white apes offering fruits from time to time.
A stone step, about two or three feet wide, runs from the foot of the mountain to the cloud cover at the top of the mountain, like a ladder to heaven.
At the entrance of the stone steps at the foot of the mountain, there is a stone tablet about ten feet high, which reads "Qingfeng Mountain Blessed Land". On the top of the stone steps, a gate tower is faintly visible amid the clouds and mist, which reads "Ziyang Guan Cave Sky".
The three of them lowered their cloud heads in front of the gatehouse.
Only then did I see that inside the clouds and mist, there were layers of eaves, blue bricks and yellow tiles, pavilions and flower beds, all kinds of exotic grasses and flowers, waterside pavilions and corridors, and purple pavilion and sandalwood windows.
There is a big cauldron in the middle, with three pillars of incense saluting the heaven and earth, and faint incense rising. It is an ancient Taoist temple, covering an area of several acres.
Just looking at this small Taoist temple, it doesn’t really look like a cave.
Liu Qiao looked at it carefully and found a couplet on the gatehouse that was quite good and suited his taste. The first couplet: "Everything depends on man-made things. Don't say that everything is fate." The second couplet: "Situation is created by the heart. If you take a step back, you will naturally be widened."
"Good things are made by people, and situations are made by the heart!" Liu Qiao admired, stroking his palms, thoughtfully.
"Please!" Yang Ren pursed his lips and smiled, extending his hand.
Liu Qiao politely declined, and the two of them walked towards the mountain gate, one behind the other.
"Dong...dong...dong..." In the Taoist temple, the sound of morning bells and evening drums came.
After walking a hundred steps and entering the temple, he saw a man holding a whisk in his hand and leading a Taoist boy to greet him.
Both of these are extraordinary.
The Taoist has a clear face, three locks of long beard, a lotus crown, water blue Taoist clothes, and big sleeves fluttering. He looks like an ordinary Taoist, but he has an indescribable sense of the wonder of Taoism.
The boy was about ten years old. He was handsome and handsome, with red lips and white teeth. He had a bun and a majestic figure. He stood aside.
"Master, junior brother..." Yang Ren bowed to the Taoist.
When Liu Qiao heard this, he immediately knew who the Taoist was. He quickly bowed and said, "Disciple Liu Qiao, pay my respects to my uncle!"
"Uncle!" Chang Long also saluted quickly.
True Lord Daode nodded and said, "No need to be polite, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Liu Qiao really didn't expect that True Lord Daode would be waiting for him at the door in person, and he was really flattered.
He said hurriedly: "My disciple is stupid and doesn't know the way, but he took a wrong path. Unfortunately, Taoist brother Yuan Ren came to pick him up. It's my fault that I have to wait for a long time."
After saying this, he took out the jade plaque from his sleeve, bowed and handed it over and said, "Master said that when I see this jade plaque, I will know the truth."
True Monarch Daode took the jade token and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Jiang is hiding in Panxi River, so he lives a carefree life, only his disciples come out to run around."
"???" Liu Qiao was confused when he heard this. Don't you just want you to give me a way to avoid disaster? What do you mean by letting me run around!
Seeing the half-smiling expression of True Lord Daode, Liu Qiao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
True Lord Daode looked at Chang Long and said with satisfaction: "There is also a master with hundreds of years of magic power, so this trip will be much easier. I can rest assured that I will leave this matter to you..."
Liu Qiao asked doubtfully: "Uncle, does he have some kind of decree?"
True Lord Daode shook his head and said, "I see you have been working hard all the way. Let's rest for a day and talk about it tomorrow."
After saying that, he pointed at Yang Ren and the boy and said: "Yuan Ren is an old acquaintance of yours, so I won't introduce you to him. This boy is also my disciple. I call him Huang Tianhua. You young people, please communicate more."
Liu Qiao was a little confused, but seeing that Zhenjun didn't say anything, he didn't want to ask more questions, so he hurriedly talked about the etiquette with Huang Tianhua, and they became acquainted.
"Yuanren, Tianhua, you two take them around to see the scenery of Qingfeng Mountain, and also know the path well, so as not to find the way again later, haha!" True Monarch Daode said in an easy-going manner, stroking his sleeves,
The smile turned into rainbow light and disappeared.
Huang Tianhua just agreed, and after True Lord Daode left, he said: "Two fellow Taoists, I still have some things that I need to do urgently, uh... this..."
Liu Qiao saw that he seemed to be respectful, but in fact he was distant, so he didn't say much. He just cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, go and do your own business!"
"Haha, I'll excuse you for that trail." Huang Tianhuaqing laughed and said to Yang Ren: "Junior brother, you can lead them around. I'll leave first."
After saying this, without waiting for Yang Ren's reply, he drove away using the Five Elements Escape Technique.
Yang Ren smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Brother Tianhua is like this, he is so arrogant, don't blame him."
"Brother Dao Liu and fellow Taoist Chang, please go and rest first. I'll go get some fruits."
Liu Qiao's master and apprentice just follow the master's wishes, what can he say?
Yang Ren followed Yang Ren to a quiet small courtyard in the temple and sat down.
Yang Ren clapped his hands, and there was a "wind blowing" outside the door. After a while, several stout servants and graceful maids came in, serving melons, fruits, tea, etc.
"Eh!" When Chang Long saw these people, he almost jumped up and started to fight. Fortunately, he stopped when he saw the calm expressions of the teachers.
However, these stout servants all have green faces and hunched backs, and look strange. When viewed with a discerning eye, they are transformed into mountain spirits and ghosts.
Those young maids were also covered in evil mist.
Seeing the doubts on the faces of Master Liu Qiao and his disciples, Yang Ren explained: "These strong servants are all pine, cypress, juniper and other spirits. Those maids are all apricot, plum, peach and other flower spirits. They are trained by my spells. They are ordinary people."
It would be convenient to act like a servant, doing laundry and sweeping."
"Hahaha, Taoist brother Yuan Ren is so elegant." Liu Qiao praised, implying that, Taoist brother Yang, you are really good at playing.
Yang Ren said proudly: "My eyes are good at seeing the charm and evil in the three realms. Wherever there are plants and trees blooming in a radius of thousands of miles, I will transplant them. In just a few years, there are many strange flowers in the mountains."
Strange grass."
As they chatted, the two gradually became familiar with each other, and Liu Qiao took the opportunity to ask about his doubts: "I just listened to the command, and it seems that you want to ask me to do something?"
Yang Ren twisted his beard and said: "I don't know exactly what to do, but I do need to trouble the two Dao brothers to go there."
Hearing what he said, Liu Qiao became more and more confused and puzzled: "My master and apprentice only have limited magical power and low Tao skills. My uncle has boundless magical power and vast magical powers. What on earth do we need to do?"
The implication is that the True Monarch of Morality has great supernatural powers, has a treasure to hold down the cave, and is a first-class expert in the three religions. Why don't you go there yourself?
It is really puzzling to ask a junior like me, who has low Taoist skills, no treasures, and no supernatural powers, to do it.
"A great immortal like Master is like a dragon that sees its head but not its tail, and its actions are unpredictable..."
Yang Ren frowned and replied: "I have never heard him talk about this before, but it seems that he wants you to pick up something, but I don't know what it is specifically."
One thing?
After hearing this, Liu Qiao felt a pain in his heart. He wasn't going to break into the Ten Ultimate Formations or anything like that. He had to do a blood sacrifice first!
After all, at the level of the True Monarch of Morality, it is impossible for ordinary illusions, barriers, restrictions, and mazes to capture him.
After much deliberation, I figured out that for some unsolvable killing formations, I had to trick people into entering the formation and be killed, sacrifice their flesh and blood to the formation, and release the evil energy from the formation first, so that I could easily break it.
Alas...Old Jiangtou, Old Jiangtou...you have really tricked me! You said that I am in danger of death, and I need to find the True Monarch of Morality to solve it.
I think it’s because I found the True Monarch of Morality that I will suffer the calamity of death!
As expected, it has to be you, Jiang Shang, you are so stupid! You are just lying to me, a young man.
