The first thousand seven hundred and twenty-five chapters
The mountain is not high, and the small Taoist temple is very dilapidated. It has limestone tiles, rotten wooden rafters, an old grape vine next to it, and a diseased tree. It looks like a desolate scene no matter how you look at it.
Behind the small Taoist temple is a vegetable patch, lush green, and a well, full of ancient charm.
This place is very ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary, just like that Taoist. If you don't look closely, he is just an old Taoist from the mountains, without any magical powers or immortal roots.
Ye Fan cupped his hands and said: "I have met the Taoist priest."
The old Taoist returned the gift very politely, without any airs. At this moment, Ye Fan discovered that the other party was the Quasi-Emperor Sixth Level, similar to him, and a powerful Taoist master.
The most peculiar thing is that this person's ability to hide his aura, if he doesn't come close, even Ye Fan may not be able to detect it from a distance, which is really amazing.
But the main reason was that he didn't open his Yuantian Immortal Eyes and was too embarrassed to look closely.
"Why did the Taoist priest call me that just now?"
"Don't blame me, the donor. I am a poor Taoist." The old Taoist said that an ancient monk in the Taoist sect once made a deduction, and a similar flower will appear. Maybe in this life, it will be like the emperor.
"Although Pindao lives in a corner, hidden in the mountains, he heard some of Donor Ye's achievements and past events, and mistakenly thought that you were that flower. But now that I have seen you and identified you carefully, I feel that you are not the flower."
"Is it possible that a similar flower will appear?" Ye Fan was quite surprised.
"The future is illusory, and even the deductions made by the ancient master may not come true." The old Taoist explained.
"Dare you ask me your name?"
"Pindao once had a name called Ge Xuan." said the old Taoist.
Ye Fan was shocked. Even though he was mentally prepared, his heart was still filled with excitement. He finally saw a monk from ancient China, who was extremely powerful and had extraordinary origins.
Who is Ge Xuan? He is one of the most important figures in the Taoist sect. He was regarded as the founder of the Gezao Sect by later Taoist priests of the Lingbao Sect, and was known as Ge Xianweng.
The Lingbao Sect's Master Shangqing, also known as Lingbao Tianzun, is one of the most important sects in the Taoist sect, and Ge Xuan is the founder of the sect for an era, so his status can be imagined.
In addition, he is revered as one of the Four Heavenly Masters of Taoism and has a high status, which can be seen from his title of Ge Xianweng.
"I've met senior!"
Ye Fan saluted, his mood was a bit complicated. In the past, he had only learned about such people through ancient books, and didn't really believe that they could fly to the sky and escape from the earth. Later, he unexpectedly embarked on the path of spiritual practice. Now that he has truly met the real person, he is filled with endless emotions.
"Donor, please sit down." Ge Xuan asked him to sit down on a futon.
Ge Xuan was not only extraordinary, but he also had a grandnephew named Ge Hong, who wrote a book and was even more remarkable. He once became the leader of Taoism in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
During the conversation, Ye Fan inevitably mentioned Ge Hong. This man mentioned the Nine Secrets in his writings, saying that as long as you recite the Nine Words regularly, you can ward off evil spirits and protect your body.
Ge Xuan said frankly that his grandnephew's cultivation level was above it, and it was indeed remarkable that he was better than his master.
"I wonder why the Immortal is hiding here?" Ye Fan naturally wanted to ask. All the Qigong practitioners in ancient China came here. It was really a fog.
"Swallowing clouds and eating dew, I have followed the Tao all my life. Whatever I set my sights on, it's all for immortality." Ge Xuandao said, then shook his head and sighed: "But in the end, everyone's bones will be buried in the loess. They will not be able to achieve good fortune."
Ye Fan was moved. This group of people came here to find immortals. They didn't choose Beidou back then, but here?!
He asked for confirmation, and sure enough he got a positive answer. The Qi practitioners all believed that there was a path to immortality here.
Not all imperial masters think that Beidou is the right place to become an immortal. Some people think that it is here on Feixianxing.
"The universe can be divided into yin and yang. Maybe Beidou and Feixianxing are symmetrical yin and yang places, and both can lead to the immortal realm. However, after the battle more than 300 years ago, it was proved that that way is impassable. Therefore, the alchemists
I believe even more that the road is on Feixianxing.”
They are looking for it just to become immortals.
Ye Fan sighed, in the ancient history of monks, all disputes and all large-scale bloody battles were mostly caused by immortals.
Immortality is an eternal topic, and it is the Taoist fruit that all monks dream of. However, after so many years, everyone is still looking for immortality, but cannot achieve it.
"Is there really a fairy road in this place?" Ye Fan sat cross-legged on the futon and had a long chat with Ge Xuan.
"According to some ancient sages' speculation, there will be a fairy road in the sealed area of Feixianxing, which is the restricted area in the mythical era." The old Taoist priest replied, everyone was waiting for the opportunity, but they did not dare to break the seal.
Ye Fan was silent, how many people have been trapped in becoming immortals? All monks have been working hard since ancient times, and the so-called "immortals" in historical anecdotes are still on this road.
Not only them, but also others, such as Sakyamuni and others, also came to this star and built the mountain gate. However, there are no traces of it now, and they are suspected to be looking for it in other places outside the territory.
"Where is the little immortal?" he asked Ge Hong.
Although the number of Qi Masters is not exaggerated, it is by no means too small. Many of them are well-known and have a great reputation in ancient China.
Ge Xuan bluntly said that others were retreating on this star, while more people were wandering outside, visiting one immortal monument after another, trying to figure out how to live forever.
Among the people alive today, the ones with the strongest cultivation are naturally Laozi and Sakyamuni.
Everyone is waiting. They believe that the failure of Beidou Immortal Road does not mean that this place will also be in vain. Sooner or later, the fate of flying to immortality will reappear.
"The sealed place of Feixianxing must be weird. If it is opened and you break in, there will be a huge disaster." Ge Xuan said.
If there are living creatures in the real seal and they are still alive, then the road to immortality will definitely be occupied by them immediately and then pass the level.
According to people's speculation, there may be a big rift in the fairy world here. There was a war between fairy creatures in the past, and they even had a fight with the ancient master. This place was suppressed and sealed.
"Does Feixianxing really live up to its name?"
Later, Ye Fan discussed many issues with the old Taoist priest, and naturally he also mentioned the Kunlun survivors, which was similar to what he had guessed.
The survivors of Kunlun also understand the secret of Feixianxing. They need to find the fairy bell, and even want to move to Kunlun Fairy Mountain and keep it here, so that they can use it to fly to immortality.
"The Immortal Bell and the Desolate Tower are too ancient. Some people say that all things were created and it was heaven and earth that gave birth to them. Others say that it involves the Immortal Dynasty, and there was even a real Emperor of Heaven."
These are all old things. Presumably, only the people of Kunlun Ancestor and Emperor Zun's era can understand some of them. In today's era, we can only speculate. There is a lack of evidence.
The two had a very speculative conversation and had many discussions ranging from anecdotes to spiritual practice.
The old Taoist was considered by the Lingbao Sect to be the founder of the Dharma. He reproduced the inheritance of the ancient Tianzun. He was naturally outstanding. It was his guidance that led to Ge Hong's path.
"Pindao has some luck. He has received some Dharma scriptures and inheritance."
Ge Xuan and Ye Fan discussed Taoism and mentioned the meaning of the scriptures. They both agreed that among the scriptures of Lingbao Tianzun, the scripture of saving people is the most mysterious and unpredictable.
Ge Xuan recited one part, which is a secret book that cannot be seen in the world, and Ye Fan took out the human ghost-faced lamp and also recited one part. The two are similar and corroborate each other, making them more mysterious and unpredictable.
"After reading the true sutra and then realizing the ghost lamp mark, this sutra can be considered complete." Ge Xuandao.
Ye Fan nodded and agreed.
He gained a lot from this discussion. The old Taoist passed down an ancient recipe called "Lingbao Tianzun".
Ye Fan was surprised. He had heard about the Taoist Alchemy Sutra a long time ago. What he saw in the world was for mortals. But he had never gotten the monk's chapter, and now he saw the true sutra.
Sitting cross-legged for seven days, the two talked freely, exchanged a lot of experiences, and also touched on many secrets.
Finally, Ye Fan stood up, said goodbye and left. He walked on the Feixianxing, feeling at a loss. After embarking on this path, he grew up to this day. He can be regarded as a peerless master. Looking back, many things have changed. Qi Refiner
Ah, I used to think that they were so powerful, like people in mythology, but when I got closer, I realized that they were just trekkers on the road to immortality.
Unknowingly, Ye Fan walked through many areas and saw an old man again. He announced his name and said: "Jiang Ziya, a poor man."
Ye Fan was surprised, and then sighed. He really saw ancient Chinese characters one after another. Although there were not many, it still made him have mixed feelings.
"Isn't the magic whip a legacy from our seniors?"
"Yes, I encountered some troubles in Beidou that year, so I kept the whip and left it until I had a chance." The old man said, don't underestimate the wooden whip. It was a piece of the emperor's fairy tree that fell off. It has endless magical effects.
Ye Fan said goodbye and went on the road again, feeling a little sad. If it hadn't been for the huge pressure from the underworld, which forced him to improve his level to protect his family and friends, he would have felt that the end of the spiritual path was really empty and ethereal, and he would not want to be there.
Walk.
"What's going on? Why do I feel a little empty after coming to Feixianxing? When I saw the ancient Chinese Qi Refiners, I wasn't very excited. Instead, I looked like this."
Ye Fan was silent for a long time, and then raised his head suddenly. This was not his character. He seemed to be affected by some kind of power.
"Yuan Tian's Immortal Eyes see through all illusions!" He shouted loudly.
The next moment, the magnificent mountains and rivers disappeared, and what I saw before me were bones as white as snow, a vast expanse of weathered bones everywhere.
There are no vegetation, no magical waterfalls, and no fairy mountains. All the scenery has disappeared. There is only death here.
Really weird!
Unknowingly, he arrived not far from the sealing place, and was greatly affected, making him almost lost.
"The Ge Xuan and Jiang Ziya we saw just now can't be fake, right?"
He looked back again and walked far away, and he saw a large area of ruins. Most of the Qi Refiner's residence had been destroyed, and there were rubbles everywhere.
However, fortunately, the low mountain is still there, and the small Taoist temple is still on the mountain.
However, Ge Xuan is no longer here.
Ye Fan always kept his immortal eyes open, his eyes sparkling, and he walked all the way. When he entered another area where Qi Refiners lived, he saw some Taoist priests and asked them.
"At least half of the Qi Practitioners died. It was very strange and terrifying back then. Some people's bodies disappeared, but their obsessions persisted and manifested themselves. They thought they were still alive, and it was difficult for others to notice. It was said that they were sealed underground.
The fairies and demons are at work, and everything about those people is truly reproduced."
The little Taoist priest said that he had drawn a range and said that those areas were inaccessible and had already become a ghost zone.
Ye Fan's whole body was cold. The Ge Xuan and Jiang Ziya he just saw were in those areas. Was he talking to the heroic spirits and their obsessions?
"Immortal Ge Xuan and others have indeed been physically dead for many years, but Immortal Ge Hong is still there, traveling outside the territory."
He got the answer. The terrifying creature sealed underground was leading all of this and wanted to take away his soul. He fought with the creature in the restricted area of the mythical era!
If there is no sealing power, we will be in big trouble.
Ye Fan sighed, he believed that what Ge Hong and Jiang Ziya's heroes said was true, but that was just an obsession that was being used, and it was no longer them.
Cultivation is really cruel. In order to live forever, many people end up in vain, bloody and empty.
Ye Fan walked through most of the area and saw many places of death. Many Qi Refiners died, with only a few remaining, and most of the strong ones were traveling abroad.
"In the future, there will definitely be a battle here!" Ye Fan whispered, the time should be when he achieves great success, or the day of enlightenment...!!!
