Where is the fairyland on earth? The only wonder is Laojun Mountain. It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi Li Er, the founder of Taoism, retired here to live in seclusion. Since then, Laojun Mountain has been known as the "source of Taoism" and the "ancestral court".
Since the Northern Wei Dynasty, Laojun Mountain has started from the entrance of Qiliping Mountain Gate, Taiqing Palace, Shifangyuan, Lingguan Palace, Linjian Palace, Shepherd's Circle, Suffering Palace, Sutra Chuan Tower, Guanyin Palace, Sanqing Palace, Laojun Temple, etc.
There are as many as 16 temples.
It has been destroyed and repaired in the past dynasties, but Laojun Temple on the top of the mountain is the most spectacular and one of the few among the many temples in the Central Plains.
In the eleventh year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty sent Yuchi Jingde to rebuild the Tieding Laojun Temple in Jingshi Mountain and named it "Laojun Mountain".
In the 31st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty decreed Laojun Mountain to be a "famous mountain in the world" and spent money to build a temple. It became the only Chinese mountain range in history to be named a "famous mountain in the world" by the royal family. It is also the mountain with the longest history in Taoism.
Since the interdimensional storm, Laojun Mountain has also turned into a unique dimensional realm. Basically, the interdimensional creatures living in it will not actively attack humans, making it the safest interdimensional realm.
On the land of Laojun Mountain, the most taboo thing is seeing blood. Someone once tried to kill those docile dimensional creatures here.
The man had just killed an extra-dimensional creature similar to a white rabbit, and then his expression changed drastically, he turned around and ran down the mountain like crazy.
When his friends found him, he would have been almost unrecognizable if all his clothes and belongings were not there.
The man actually had rabbit fur all over his body, his mouth turned into three petals, and his eyes turned red. He lay on the grass gnawing leaves like a rabbit, and he became a madman from then on.
Since then, no one dared to kill on Laojun Mountain, and even the sight of blood was a huge taboo.
Legend has it that there was an epic man who did not believe in evil and started killing people on Laojun Mountain. The result was also very tragic.
These legends make Laojun Mountain mysterious, but the most eye-catching features of Laojun Mountain are the wordless monument halfway up the mountain and the mysterious golden top.
The wordless stele is just a stone stele two or three meters high. There is no writing on it. It looks shabby and shabby, and there is nothing surprising about it.
But it possesses a mysterious power that can soothe the restless mind and make it extremely peaceful. But as time goes by, that peaceful mind gradually becomes weird.
At that time, my mind was still calm, but there seemed to be an inexplicable force surging inside my body, making people involuntarily agitated.
This feeling is like that of a patient with ADHD, but he has to sit there motionless. The uncomfortable feeling cannot be explained by outsiders.
The Golden Summit is one of the most mysterious places in Laojun Mountain. There are many mysterious ancient buildings there, but no human has been able to climb the Golden Summit.
It is said that some people once saw countless animals coming up to Laojun Mountain, covering the entire Laojun Mountain in darkness, kneeling in front of the golden dome, and then dispersed after three days and three nights.
These are all fragmentary memories from this body, and Wang Mingzhen doesn't know whether they are true or false. But walking on Laojun Mountain, he felt very peaceful. There seemed to be some kind of magic here that made people's minds calm.
Laojun Mountain is not too high, but there are many peaks, winding pines and cypresses, and ancient buildings standing on the peaks, which looks like a scene in a painting. From a distance, Laojun Mountain looks like a classical ink landscape painting.
There are rabbits, squirrels and other small animals everywhere on the mountain, as well as groups of cranes flying in the clouds. They are not afraid of humans, but look at Wang Mingzhen curiously.
After just a cup of tea, Wang Mingzhen arrived at the halfway point of the mountain. He saw a two- to three-meter-high stone tablet standing on the edge of the cliff on the mountainside. Accompanied by the morning glow and clouds, there was an indescribable meaning in the loneliness.
This wordless stele is one of the goals of Wang Mingzhen's trip. It contains the vitality secret of "Tai Shang Kai Tian Jing", which can be called the origin of Tao, mysterious and incredible.
Wang Mingzhen sat cross-legged in front of the wordless stele, feeling the rhyme of the Tao in the stele with his mind, and instantly fell into concentration. Concentration produces tranquility, and tranquility produces wisdom. If wisdom can enlighten you, everything will be clear.
At the same time, an inexplicable restlessness emerged instinctively in his body. It was just a little feeling at first. As time went by, this restlessness became more and more intense, giving Wang Mingzhen an inexplicable impulse.
With his strong state of mind, Wang Mingzhen suppressed the instinctive restlessness of his body and kept his mind in a peaceful state. This invisible struggle slowly improved his state of mind.
However, as time goes by, the restlessness of the body becomes more and more terrifying, gradually exceeding the control limit of mental state cultivation, and the body may lose control at any time.
A look of disappointment flashed across Wang Mingzhen's eyes. It was obvious that the "Tai Shang Kai Tian Jing" was not destined for him, and the mythical accompanying eggs on the golden dome were also not destined for him.
Just when he was about to give up, things took a turn for the worse, and the speed of the first level of the Kunlun Scripture suddenly slowed down, and the restless feeling disappeared.
The moment the Kunlun Scripture stopped running completely, his body also stopped. This stop was not just the stop of the movement of vitality, but even the heartbeat stopped beating for an instant.
After a breath, the vitality in the body begins to move along an unknown trajectory. It is a natural integration with the heaven and earth, as if it has become a part of the universe, and the heart has reached a synchronized frequency with the breathing of the universe.
Wang Mingzhen knew that this was the effect of getting started with the cultivation of the "Tai Shang Kai Tian Jing". After the Tai Shang Kai Tian Jing circulated for a week, its essence of Taoism also began to be integrated into the Kunlun Tian Jing, and eventually became a part of the Kunlun Tian Jing.
In Wang Mingzhen's perception, the speed at which Kunlun Scripture absorbs and refines the vitality of heaven and earth has increased several times, as if he can introduce the vitality of heaven and earth into his body for refining in just one breath.
After mastering the Taishang Kaitian Sutra, the wordless stele was no longer useful to him. Wang Mingzhen walked along the stone steps towards the Golden Summit.
However, Wang Mingzhen obviously did not have the luck of Zhou Wen, the son of destiny. He did not encounter the natural disaster-level three-eyed antelope, nor did he find the unknown withered yellow grass.
Laojun Mountain was not very high originally, but after the extradimensional storm, the space on the mountain seemed to have been stretched infinitely. Wang Mingzhen took a while and gradually approached the top of the mountain.
The scenery on the top of the mountain is picturesque, and as far as the eye can see is a collection of undulating ancient buildings. The buildings are not majestic, but they are built on the top of the mountain, with clouds lingering around them, like a fairy cave.
At the end of the stone steps, a wooden building that looks like an archway stands upright, with the three words "Nantian Gate" engraved on it. According to myths and legends, Nantian Gate is the main passage into the Heavenly Palace, and it is also the door for communication between humans and immortals.
In front of the archway is a stone statue. An old man is riding on the back of a stone bull, looking forward to the sky, while the stone bull turns its head and looks sideways at the sky. This old man is Li Er, the founder of Taoism, and this stone statue is the famous statue of Lao Tzu riding an bull.
Wang Mingzhen performed a Taoist salute to the stone statue with an extremely respectful expression. The figure of the founder of Taoism can be found all over the world, intersecting reality and illusion. How could he dare to be disrespectful!
Afterwards, Wang Mingzhen stepped into the Nantianmen, as if he had stepped into a new world, and a cliff shrouded in clouds and mist came into view.
When he looked back, the archway of Nantianmen, the stone statue of Laozi riding an ox, or the stone steps had all disappeared.
Suddenly, Wang Mingzhen felt that the hairs in his pores turned into green grass, sprouting buds and leaves. His whole body was like a human-shaped grass altar, and he couldn't help but be horrified.
"No! This is the forbidden power of Laojun Mountain."
Wang Mingzhen's thoughts suddenly changed, and he quickly switched the orbit of the first level of the Kunlun Scripture to the Taishang Kai Scripture. Sure enough, the abnormality on his body disappeared instantly, and he returned to normal in a short time.
There was no danger to his life, so Wang Mingzhen began to walk towards the ancient building on the golden roof. The ancient building complex was very huge, connected by stone bridges in the middle, surrounded by a sea of clouds. Walking on the stone bridge, it felt like walking on the clouds.
Wang Mingzhen's figure crossed one stone bridge after another and kept appearing in ancient buildings, but he still found nothing.
I don't know how long it took, but he came to a Taoist temple. He looked carefully and saw three Taoist inscriptions "Tai Qing Temple" engraved on the plaque of the Taoist temple.
"I finally found Taiqingguan, and the mythical companion egg is still waiting for me!"
Wang Mingzhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and his hanging heart was completely relieved. The ancient buildings on the golden roof were even weirder than the maze. It was not easy to find Taiqing Temple among them!
After all, not everyone has the luck of Zhou Wen, the Son of Destiny, who will be led directly to Taiqing Temple by a three-eyed antelope, thereby obtaining the mythical accompanying pet Banana Fairy.
Stepping into Taiqing Temple, there is a large courtyard inside the gate. It looks quite old. The ground is covered with dust and fallen leaves, as if no one has set foot in it for thousands of years.
"You are my Taoist disciple. You can choose any one of the three pure talismans on the case."
Suddenly, an old voice came from nowhere, echoing throughout the Taiqing Temple. It seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to tell where the voice came from.
"Disciple, obey."
Without any hesitation, Wang Mingzhen bowed to the statue of Taiqing and then focused his attention on a confession sheet.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of Taiqing Temple, he had already seen three talismans on the confession. These three talismans were only about the size of a palm and similar in appearance, but the patterns and talismans engraved on them were different and the materials were completely different.
Among them, one is like flawless white jade, one is forged from metal, and the last one is carved from wood.
After receiving the inheritance of Sanshan Talisman in the previous world, Wang Mingzhen had a very good understanding of Taoist Talismans and could be called a Talisman Master.
Even so, Wang Mingzhen still couldn't recognize the meaning of these talismans. He only knew that these three pure talismans were not talismans, but three powerful mythical accompanying eggs.
After the wooden talisman among them hatches, you can get the mythical companion pet Banana Fairy. The prototype of the Banana Fairy is the banana fan used by Taishang Laojun to fan fire when making alchemy, and has the potential to be promoted to the natural disaster level.
As for what the other two runes represent, the Twelve-Winged Dark Seraph didn't explain it, and Wang Mingzhen naturally didn't know either.
However, Wang Mingzhen can roughly guess who these three runes represent. Among them, the wooden rune represents the Taiqing moral deity, the jade rune represents the Yuqing original deity, so the gold rune naturally represents the supreme clear spiritual treasure deity.
However, in myths and legends, the Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty not only had great Taoism, but also had endless magic weapons and artifacts on their bodies.
The Pangu flag of the Yuanshi Tianzun of the Yuqing Dynasty, the Three Treasures Ruyi, the Hunyuan box, the Wuji apricot yellow flag, the jade-glazed lamp, the Tai Chi talisman...
The four immortal swords of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Qingping sword, purple electric hammer, heart-piercing lock, six soul flags, fishing drum, Hunyuan whisk...
The Tai Chi Diagram of Taiqing Daode Tianzun, the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, the Universe Diagram, the King Kong Diagram, the Purple Gold Gourd, the Bagua Furnace, the Eight Scenery Palace Lanterns, and the Flame Flag off the Ground...
Therefore, even if he knew who the two runes represented, Wang Mingzhen could not guess which magic weapon the eggs accompanying the gold and jade runes were based on!
That wooden talisman was first excluded by Wang Mingzhen. Although the companion pet of Banana Fairy has great potential and can control the lunar wind and solar fire after being cultivated, the help it can give him is limited.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Mingzhen picked up the jade talisman. In comparison, the prototype of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun's magic weapon was more in line with his aesthetics and more powerful.
The moment Wang Mingzhen picked up the jade talisman, the light and shadow in front of his eyes changed, and Taiqingguan disappeared like a dreamy bubble.
The sky and the earth were spinning for a while, and the stars were moving. When Wang Mingzhen regained consciousness again, he was back in front of the stone statue of Laozi riding an ox.
If it weren't for the jade talisman still held in his hand, Wang Mingzhen would have doubted whether the scene just now was an illusion!
Operating the first level of the Kunlun Scripture at full power, a massive amount of vitality was continuously injected into the jade talisman, and the runes on the jade talisman suddenly lit up one by one.
Then, Wang Mingzhen only felt that the vitality in his body was like a dam bursting, flowing continuously towards the jade talisman.
In just an instant, the vast ocean-like vitality in Wang Mingzhen's body was squeezed to the last drop.
Wang Mingzhen is very familiar with this feeling. It was this feeling when he hatched the companion egg of the Eight Treasures Golden Lotus Buddha.
As the energy of the earth veins poured into the body one after another, and was continuously transformed into vitality, the pain of being exhausted, as if the bone marrow was being drained, also disappeared.
Soon, the jade talisman in his hand turned into a cool air and was imprinted on Wang Mingzhen's palm. He raised his palm and looked at it, only to see an extra gourd mark on his palm.
The gourd mark looks purple, like purple gold, it looks magical and unlike anything ordinary!
"Purple Gold Gourd!"
The moment he saw the gourd mark, information about the purple gold gourd immediately appeared in Wang Mingzhen's mind.
In Journey to the West, this purple-gold gourd filled with elixirs is so powerful that as long as the name is called, if the person responds, he will be sucked into the gourd, and after an hour or three, it will turn into pus.
Thinking of this, Wang Mingzhen couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he quickly summoned the divine book panel to check the attributes of the companion pet.
