There is no mountain bigger than this, but history is as big as this!
This is Mount Tai. In ancient times, it didn't look like that. It was tens of thousands of feet high. It was impossible to climb Mount Tai and make the world smaller.
There are many cliff stone monuments on the mountain. This mountain is a piece of history. The secrets and ancient events it tells are like a history book. Unfortunately, everything has changed.
Ye Fan listened attentively and gained a lot. Over the past few days, he had visited many collections and read many unique books in the hope of understanding the ancient times. Unfortunately, none of them were involved in the world of spiritual practice.
At this time, he heard several young people talking. He nodded secretly and understood something. At least he would be involved in another world, transcending the mortal world.
The so-called gathering of monks seems to be very large. Seeing how concerned these people are, they all want to make a difference and enter the secret place of Shangqing and Lingbao with outstanding performance.
Ye Fan was dumbfounded. Although these people were Taoist disciples and were considered outstanding, they were still far from the core. The world of cultivation had its own rules and regulations, and there were levels everywhere.
Both the Shangqing Sect and the Lingbao Sect have their own secret places that cannot be approached by mortals. Only core members can enter. You don't need to think about it to know that since the earth and the sky are dry today, it must be a blessed land of cave heaven, which can speed up your cultivation.
These four people have all escaped from the sea of suffering, and their appearance is extraordinary. They are not far from the realm of life spring, and they are disciples of the orthodox great religion.
According to what they whispered just now, being recognized as a core disciple is the key, and it has many advantages.
"Let's go. Traveling to famous mountains and rivers can cultivate your mind, but you still have to practice." Several people walked together and walked down Mount Tai together.
"Brothers, please stay." Ye Fan came from behind, greeted them with a smile, and wanted to go with them all the way.
These people were naturally surprised and all looked at him inexplicably. Ye Fan claimed to be a casual cultivator with a limited family background and did not know much about the current world of cultivation. He wanted to go with them and ask for advice along the way.
A stranger joined in, and several people were a little resistant and reluctant. At this moment, another person went up the mountain, and when he saw a few people, he kept saying sorry, saying that he was late for something at home.
Several people were unhappy. They wanted to practice in seclusion. They told the visitors that Ye Fan was a casual cultivator like him and they could take him for a walk. After that, they hurried down the mountain.
Ye Fan touched his chin. He didn't expect to be so unpopular. The four people didn't want to interact with him at all, but that was true. His origin was unknown and he wanted to practice hard, so he didn't want to pay attention to him.
The person who came later called Guo Zhen. He lived in Tai'an, at the foot of Mount Tai. He was really a casual cultivator. He was very enthusiastic and had a lot in common with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan felt that this person was quite good, with a genuine and simple temperament. He said what he said without any pretense, and had a sense of morality and nature. The two of them went down the mountain together, talking as they walked.
Guo Zhendao: "Brother Ye is also a casual cultivator, so we are really destined. I also embarked on this path inadvertently."
He did not join any sect, but he had a grandfather who loved reading ancient books, which led him to the path of spiritual practice. When the Four Olds were destroyed, all strange forces and chaos would be defeated. His grandfather was still young at that time, and in that
In the 1970s, I saw that many ancient books were copied from various houses and were to be destroyed in one place, so I secretly hid a few of the oldest ones.
"You just read those ancient books and took this path?" Ye Fan asked with a smile, which was really a bit dramatic.
"I read it as a novel about ghosts and ghosts, and I felt that what was said above made sense. I read it all the time and found it to be reasonable. But once again, while half asleep and half awake, I really saw the regret in my body..."
It can be said that Guo Zhen's spiritual path was uneventful. He accidentally saw the first secret realm of the human body. After that, he tried in every possible way and finally saw it again in a sober state, and this was when he became firm in his mind.
His grandfather had almost torn through those books, and had not achieved much over the years. However, he occasionally had a thought and finally took a small step.
As for his father, he was a typical intellectual. If he hadn't known that those books were ancient books, or maybe unique copies, and very valuable, he would probably have burned them because of his distaste for them.
"Does your family know?" Ye Fan asked.
"How can you explain this kind of thing clearly?" Guo Zhen shook his head and did not tell his parents. Instead, he talked to his grandfather and excited the old man to death. He told him that he must save him when he succeeds in the future.
After Ye Fan took a closer look, Guo Zhen's personal qualifications were absolutely nothing to say, otherwise he would not have been able to find a way to practice on his own in this era of Dharma end. If he were in Beidou, he would really become the leader of a religion.
He opened the Wheel Sea, and threads of the Life Spring were flowing out, and streams of spiritual energy rushed out. He was about to enter the realm of the Life Spring, which was one level higher than the previous few people.
When Ye Fan came to his residence, he immediately knew why he had such achievements. Sure enough, everyone who can embark on the path of spiritual practice today has some chance.
This is a very dilapidated villa. It seems to have seen better days and is about to be demolished again. It is located in the suburbs, adjacent to Mount Tai, and the scenery is very good.
Ye Fan knew the origin technique, could see the earth veins, and could clearly see that the old villa was located on the earth veins, there were goblins rising up, and Mount Tai's energy was steaming. It was precisely because of this that Guo Zhen had the possibility to practice.
He said that his grandfather was a very interesting person. He resold antiques and saved a lot of money back then, so he was able to move to a villa and live here for his retirement, and he also lived here most of the time.
The two talked very speculatively. Guo Zhen told Ye Fan a lot of things that he currently wanted to know. Those people just now were all real disciples of the Taoist sect. Sometimes they were a little arrogant. They were just trying to figure out what they were doing.
The weak casual cultivators in He didn't want to make friends.
"All the great magical powers in ancient times are no longer in the world. Do you know where they have gone?" Ye Fan asked.
"I really don't know about this. It's impossible to talk about ancient times. Even the disciples of the great religion don't understand it. But I can guess a few things. It's nothing more than the dryness of vitality and the inability to manifest magical powers." Guo Zhen said.
Then, he talked about some of the current sects that Ye Fan wanted to know about.
There are many branches of Taoism, and Guo Zhen said a lot. He mentioned dozens of sects such as Shangqing Sect, Lingbao Sect, Taiyi Sect, Shenxiao Sect, etc., all of which are very powerful inheritances today.
In addition, he also specifically mentioned Shushan Sword Cultivators. This lineage is very mysterious. It focuses on attacking and is out of reach of ordinary people. It is difficult for even monks to find them.
In addition, there is the even more mysterious Kunlun. The monks who come out of this place all have great backgrounds and extremely high moral standards, and few people dare to mess with them.
Ye Fan's mind was spinning, could it be the Kunlun Mountains that spans Qinghai-Tibet and Xinjiang? When he was looking for Lingshan, he had come into contact with it, but he didn't find anything special.
As for Buddhism, although there are temples in famous mountains and rivers, real practitioners are rare, and Guo Zhen doesn’t know much about it. At the same time, he also talked about demon cultivators. There are ancient demons with bloodline in the world, such as Daxia Longque, Tianlin, Zhuhuang, etc.
They are several famous demon and god clans.
Ye Fan really wanted to go to this sect, but Guo Zhen shook his head. Every sect is very mysterious. No one knows where the real secret place is. The world has changed, the essence has dried up, and the only remaining pure land of each sect is natural.
Keep it confidential.
Ye Fan is very sensitive to the demon clan, and he wants to know more about it, because there are various signs that the deceased Pang Bo must be related to the demon clan. Although the bloodlines of several great demon gods exist in the world, they are all low-key and even more difficult to find.
"I think these people will show up during the practitioners' conference."
Guo Zhen nodded when he heard the words. He had also heard that the cultivator conference was about to start, but like Ye Fan, he was a casual cultivator. It was impossible for anyone to inform him and he didn't know much about it.
"Well, let's follow those people, won't we know when the time comes?" Ye Fan said with a smile.
Guo Zhen smiled bitterly. He didn't have a deep friendship with those people, and this time he was even more unhappy because he was late. Friendship with him, a casual cultivator, was as weak as water, and he would probably get into trouble.
"It's okay, let's follow them from a distance and ignore them." Ye Fan said.
Guo Zhen thought about it and nodded in agreement. He also wanted to practice Taoism and get to know them. He didn't know the secret places of those people's sects, but he knew the places where they practiced.
In the end, the two of them followed all the way and caught up with the four people on the way. They went all the way south to Wuyi Mountain. On the way, they heard the four people talking about going to the hometown of Lingbao Sect. There were celebrities staying there, and there were also people from the younger generation.
Amazing people gathered together to join in the fun.
Ye Fan was naturally very interested when he heard this, and he followed Guo Zhen from a distance without using any magic power. They walked leisurely and enjoyed the scenery along the way.
"Jiangxi is really a place for cultivation. I don't want to come here again." Ye Fan sighed.
The hometown of Lingbao Sect is located in Gezao Mountain, which is the western branch of Wuyi Mountain. It stretches for more than 200 miles, with ancient bamboos and pines, rolling peaks and beautiful scenery.
Ye Fan is very interested in this place because Ge Zao Mountain, also known as Ge Ling, is an important place in Taoism. The founder of Lingbao Sect is Ge Xuan, who is Ge Hong's uncle.
Ge Hong, the author of "Baopuzi", was a Taoist leader in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who was extremely talented. He once mentioned the Nine Secrets in his work, and Ye Fan made a careful inquiry after he returned.
After his uncle founded the Lingbao Sect, Ge Hong carried it forward and shocked the world. He left an indelible mark here. Now, although the Lingbao Sect has found another secret place and evacuated here, there will probably still be some traces left.
.
Gezao Mountain, with steaming clouds and clouds, is like walking into a picture scroll, where springs and waterfalls flow, mountains are green and peaks are beautiful, and the scenery is elegant and restrained.
"It's not like the Lingbao Sect has abandoned this place. There are many Taoist temples in the mountain, and most of the outer disciples are here." Guo Zhen explained that one of the four people he knew came from here.
"This place is not bad. It seems that the records in the history books are correct. Ge Hong really lived here for a long time." Ye Fan nodded. After entering Gezao Mountain, he experienced a mysterious and mysterious qi, which has the power to reach the sky.
Big names left traces of their passage here.
"Disappeared, they actually disappeared!" Guo Zhen was surprised, staring into the depths of the mountains with a look of confusion and surprise.
"It's interesting. It's really extraordinary that there is such a wonderful place here when the ground is dry today." Ye Fan smiled and led Guo Zhen forward, and soon came to a green mountain.
"There is no road ahead, what are you doing?" Guo Zhen was shocked, because he was dragged up to a mountain and had to step off the cliff.
"Don't be afraid." Ye Fan said. In a flash of light, they entered a strange environment, surrounded by white clouds and several broken mountains standing side by side. It was very vast and had many Taoist temples on it.
The ancient pines have been growing here for thousands of years, and the old vines are climbing all over the cliffs. It seems to be isolated from the outside world, and the spiritual energy is much stronger.
"The outer disciples of the Lingbao Sect should be practicing here, otherwise how could they achieve such achievements," Ye Fan said. Guo Zhen was full of surprise.
"Who is here?" An old Taoist priest appeared and asked them.
"We are casual cultivators." Guo Zhen replied.
"Hey, it's you, why are you here?" The four people who had just entered had not yet climbed Duanshan Mountain. They were surprised to see them, a little confused, and at the same time a little unhappy.
"Not everyone comes to this place. This is a small gathering. All the celebrities and amazing disciples are here. No one without orthodoxy is allowed to enter." One of them said with a hint of joy in the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, this is the hometown of Lingbao. No one else is allowed to enter." Another young man said.
The old Taoist priest also nodded and said: "This is an important place of our Lingbao Sect. It is not open to the outside world. Apart from inviting fellow Taoists to communicate, only senior experts can come here, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter."
