The four peaks are connected to Yulonggang in the north, and are facing deep valleys on three sides. There are pine trees, fir trees, etc. on the peaks, with green leaves and canopy-like crowns. The peaks protrude among the ravines, commanding the sky, and the cliffs are ten thousand feet high. The bottom is unpredictable, and the shape is extremely dangerous.
Looking ahead, it looks like thousands of horses flying into the clouds. The mountains at your feet are undulating, the forest is vast, the deep valleys are secluded, the clouds are steaming and the mist is lingering. The colors are gorgeous, as if you are in a fairyland. Shen Meng's "You Tianmu Ji" in the Ming Dynasty called the four peaks "deep, profound, and secluded.
It combines the six qualities of silence, wonder, and beauty. In ancient times, it was called Pengcai Fairy Island. It is really unforgiving. It is the most amazing place for the Celestial Eye." There is a jade pavilion on the top of the peak. If you stop in the pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the entire mountain.
The world only knows that this peak protrudes between the ravines, commanding the cliffs, and its bottom is unpredictable. But they don't know that there is a cave under the cliffs, among the clouds and mist. This is because the ancient immortals opened up caves here, and laid out the caves.
The formation of the Five Elements and the formation of invisibility are set up so that ordinary eyes of the world cannot detect it.
Let's say that in the deep valley, there is a platform protruding from the cliff, covering an area of several acres. Several old pines cling to the cliff below the platform. There is a cave more than ten feet high behind the platform. The cave has a stone sill and a stone door. Above the cave is written:
Tiangai Dixuan Cave is also the Tianmu Cave of the thirty-six small caves in the legend.
There was a boy sweeping up the fallen leaves on the platform with a broom. He looked up at the sky from time to time, but he was not afraid of being seen by the onlookers above, because they couldn't see it at all. In the eyes of the world, the cliffs here are so steep that they occasionally appear.
Weeds and small pines survive in the cracks, but there is no platform at all.
There is a world of its own in the cave, which is quite broad, with an area of nearly a hundred acres. There is a pool of about ten acres in the middle. The pool is so clear that you can see the bottom. There are fish and turtles swimming in the pool, and there is a faint fairy spirit floating up from the bottom of the pool.
The pool is surrounded by lush greenery, ancient trees and herbs. There is a wooden bridge winding over the pool, leading directly to a simple Taoist temple.
Beside the pool, under a weeping willow, two Taoist priests were playing chess.
There is a childlike face with fair hair, a high nose and a wide forehead, and a green robe with wide sleeves. He has a fairy-like temperament. This person is none other than the real person Pingyun of Huagai Mountain Cave, Yu Wanxin’s master.
Another man is as majestic as a mountain, dressed in a simple green robe, with black hair tied up randomly, and a handsome face. He is actually a middle-aged handsome man with an elegant and wild look. This man is the master of the Tianmu Mountain Cave, Jiang Qingzhenren.
Behind Master Jiang Qing stands a young and handsome man with his hands tied, but he has a sense of arrogance. Although he has restrained it very well, people still don't want to get close to him. This man is Jiang Zihua, a disciple of Master Jiang Qing. Although he is arrogant, he still
He also has the capital of pride. Judging from his age, he is only less than thirty years old, but he is already in the innate state. Perhaps it won't be long before he can condense his true energy and truly enter the ranks of cultivation.
Master Pingyun was obviously in a passive situation. He kept tugging at his beard, and finally sighed and said: "Master Jiang is not only ahead of me in cultivation, he has entered the golden elixir avenue before me, and his chess skills are even better than Pindao's.
It’s not okay if you don’t accept it.”
Upon hearing this, Master Jiang Qing laughed and said, "Master Pingyun is too modest. I just have better luck."
Although he said this, Master Jiang Qing still couldn't help showing a trace of pride on his face. There are three major caves and nine small caves left by the ancients in Zhejiang. Those three major caves occupy the blessings of their ancestors and contain spiritual mountains and spiritual waters.
It is uniquely endowed with talents and has many talented people, and its strength is steadily better than that of Jiu Xiaodongtian. Although Tianmu Mountain Cave is a small cave, it is unique among the nine small caves, and its strength is faintly ahead.
One of the reasons why Tianmu Mountain Cave is stronger than other small caves is that Master Jiang Qing has entered the Jindan Avenue.
When Master Pingyun saw this, he knew that Jiang Qing was very proud, but he didn't point it out. He just looked up to the sky and sighed, saying: "It is said that in ancient times, the land was vast and rich in resources, wild wilderness, high mountains and ridges, rich spiritual energy, incomparable mysterious magic, and many capable people in cultivation.
.But I don’t know why we have arrived now, but the land is narrow and things are sparse, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the ancient Taoist scriptures are nowhere to be seen. Although we dare not be lazy for a day, we can only live a little longer than ordinary people."
When Jiang Qing heard this, his mood became a little heavy. He was able to enter the golden elixir avenue only because he accidentally discovered a piece of Bixin Stone left by his ancestors. With the help of Bixin Stone, his cultivation speed was greatly improved, and he was able to enter the golden elixir avenue in the near future.
He has entered the golden elixir avenue. But he will not tell anyone about this matter.
Master Pingyun was dozens of years older than Jiang Qing, and was already in the late stage of Qi Condensation. He saw Jiang Qing looking proud, and was afraid that he would be complacent and miss his cultivation, so he sighed with good intentions to remind him. Seeing Jiang Qing's mood
He also became heavy, knowing that his words had an effect. He laughed and said: "Zhenren Jiang has formed the golden elixir, and he is qualified to enter the Kunlun Fairy Mountain to listen to the mysterious Taoism. Maybe one day he will be able to refine the Nascent Soul.
He is truly a half-immortal, traveling to heaven and earth, so carefree."
Although Master Jiang Qing is considered an arrogant person among cultivators, he is not without self-awareness. He knows that cultivating to the Nascent Soul is as difficult as ascending to heaven. So after hearing this, he sighed: "The road to cultivating Taoism is long and endless.
Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!”
Master Jiang Qing said three difficult words in a row. Only people like them, who have been practicing for hundreds of years, can understand the feeling.
Jiang Zihua, who was standing behind Jiang Qing, had a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he didn't say much.
While the two were sighing, the sound of cranes came from outside the cave.
"Zhenren Zhao Ye from the Cave Heaven of Xiandu Mountain must have arrived." Taoist Jiang Qing put away his emotion and walked out of the cave.
The boy sweeping the floor looked up at the sky, only to hear the chirping of cranes but not see them coming. Strangely enough, he heard the sound of flapping wings of birds, and then saw clouds and mist rolling in the valley, and suddenly there was a Taoist priest riding a crane and a royal knight.
Swordsman.
The sword-wielding Taoist priest was as long and skinny as the crane's two long legs. He was so thin that it seemed like the wind could blow him over. However, his appearance was thin and kind-hearted, and he was quite worthy of a Taoist master.
Taste. On the crane is a young Taoist priest, with a slender figure, a face like a crown of jade, and greased lips, a bit like a pretty boy.
The tall and thin old Taoist priest was none other than Zhao Ye, the real person in the Cave Heaven of the Immortal Capital Mountain, as Jiang Qing said, and the pretty boy was his disciple Lin Chongshan.
"Fellow Taoist, you are late." Master Pingyun and Master Zhao Ye have always been good friends, so they walked up to the cave door and greeted them with a smile.
"It's not too late, it's not too late, I am the second one to arrive at the Nine Small Cave Heaven." Although Zhao Zhizhen is tall and thin, his voice is very loud.
"Zhao Zhenren, please come and be well!" Jiang Qing stepped forward and gave a one-handed salute.
Master Zhao Zhi hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but in the blink of an eye, my fellow Taoist has entered the Golden Elixir Avenue before us. I am very happy and congratulated."
Jiang Qing hurriedly humbled himself, but his pride was revealed again, and then he introduced master and apprentice Zhao Ye into the cave.
After entering the cave, the three of them sat down at a stone table by the pool, and Jiang Zihua took the initiative to pour tea.
Master Pingyun saw Lin Chongshan standing behind Zhao Ye and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after several years of seeing each other, your disciples are as tall as you."
Hearing this, Zhao Ye said, "Hey, why didn't that little girl Wanxin come?"
Nowadays, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the treasures of heaven and earth are very rare. Even if a cultivator accepts disciples, they usually don't have more than two. If they accept more disciples, even if they are willing to cultivate them, they have limited resources and cannot afford to waste them, but they are powerless. Because
There are only one or two disciples, so when traveling to listen to Taoism or exchange cultivation experiences, he will take his disciples with him and cultivate them with all his heart, so that after his death, his disciples can inherit his mantle and continue to pass on the Taoism.
This time, Master Jiang Qing had to step into the Golden Elixir Avenue, so he opened a Dharma altar and invited the cave masters from the Nine Small Cave Heavens in Zhejiang to come and exchange views on the Golden Elixir Avenue. Generally speaking, disciples would be brought to such important events, so Zhao Yehui
Have this question.
Upon hearing this, Master Pingyun pointed at the crane standing next to Zhao Ye like a human, and said: "I don't have such a good opportunity as you. There is a crane to ride on, so I have to let the little girl go down the mountain and come on her own."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhao Ye touched the lustrous white feathers of the crane quite proudly, then twirled his beard and said: "You are so willing to let the little girl rush to Tianmu Mountain alone. It seems that you want her to have some experience in the world. If
If I'm not wrong, this girl will soon become congenital instead of acquired. You are afraid that her heart will be too pure, so you let her take such a journey."
Master Pingyun pointed at Master Zhao Ye with a smile and said: "I can't hide anything from you, old guy."
Zhao Ye sighed after hearing this: "You have accepted a good apprentice. That girl has quite a lot of immortality. She should be able to embark on the golden elixir road."
Jiang Zihua, who was standing behind Master Jiang Qing, had a vague look of disapproval in his eyes.
Hearing this, Master Pingyun stroked his beard, pointed at Jiang Zihua behind Master Jiang, and said: "I dare not say these words in front of Master Jiang. This disciple of his can truly be called a person with immortal roots."
."
Zhao Ye had actually seen Jiang Zihua a long time ago. Although he was shocked by the talent of this boy, he didn't like his arrogance, so he didn't mention him. Now that Master Pingyun mentioned him, he couldn't turn a blind eye anymore and said: "You guys
They all have good apprentices."
Lin Chongshan blushed when he heard this and lowered his head in shame. Jiang Zihua was quite proud in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Although this child Chongshan is not as talented as Wanxin and Zihua, he is more important in being down-to-earth and persevering. Our cultivation is against nature, so this is very important." Master Pingyun said seriously.
After hearing this, Lin Chongshan raised his head and glanced at Pingyun Zhenren with some gratitude.
