Boren, the leader of the Xiaotianlin clan, asked Ye Fan to seal the mountain, saying that they did not have enough moral integrity and feared that the seal would not be strong and that old enemies would break into the mountain and attack them.
Ye Fan nodded. He knew that the Tianlin Clan was expressing their determination. This was a promise to him that they would never step out of Changbai Mountain within five hundred years.
He didn't say anything more and entered Yuanhaolong Cave. The fairy light was bright and auspicious like smoke. The ancient cave was very deep and had mottled traces of time.
The first two he saw were the Pu Tuan, which suddenly showed a strange color, because there were fluctuations of Dao marks on them, and it was obvious that there were masters meditating all year round.
"Where are these two people?"
Many people in the Tianlin clan were nervous, fearing an accident. Old Tian Snake hurriedly stepped forward to explain, saying: "They are the guardians of the original dragon cave, and they have not returned for a hundred years."
He didn't dare to hide it, because when he reached Ye Fan's level, once his powerful spiritual consciousness came out, no one could stop him, and there was no secret at all.
Changbai Mountain is regarded as the ancestral land of Longxing by the Jurchen people. In ancient times, they would visit it every year. The two guardians are the ancestors of the Jurchen people. If they were alive today, they would be more than a thousand years old.
"People from the Jin Dynasty" Ye Fan said to himself.
When the Jurchen tribe came out of seclusion and destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, these two people had already worshiped in the cave before that period. Later, they became successful in cultivating Taoism and became the protectors of the Tianlin tribe.
"Thousand-year-old ancients." Ye Fan pondered, these two people are of high moral character and should be worthy of attention.
The Manchus and Qing Dynasties also regarded Changbai Mountain as their ancestral land, because they were the descendants of the Jurchen tribe. The two ancients killed by Ye Fan not long ago were from the Qing Dynasty and were called protectors of the law.
Obviously, they cannot be compared with the guardians of the Tao. The two ancients of the Jin Dynasty were around a thousand years old. They have survived since ancient times. They may still be alive today and their Taoism is profound.
"It's not like I'm going to die after being away for more than a hundred years." Ye Fan whispered without saying much.
This ancient cave is very deep. According to legend, the ancient holy emperor once went north and stayed in seclusion here for hundreds of years. Therefore, it is also known as the original dragon tune.
There is a stone chamber in the deepest part of the ancient cave that is dry and clean. It has no furnishings and is not even close to auspiciousness. It can be described as simple.
But Ye Fan fixed his eyes on this place at a glance, abandoned everything else, stepped inside, and asked what kind of place this was.
Boren, the leader of the Heavenly Snake Clan, replied that this is the place where their ancestor demon god sits. He often sits there for hundreds of years and no one dares to approach it.
"Where did the ancestor of the Heavenly Snake go?" Ye Fan asked again.
Bo Ren sighed, the essence of heaven and earth was drying up. The ancestor of Tian She had already calculated in ancient times that it would be unfavorable for future generations to practice and it would be difficult to attain enlightenment, so he disappeared from the world during the Warring States Period.
Ye Fan entered the stone chamber, closed his eyes and silently sensed that something was wrong. There was no evil spirit in this stone chamber, it was upright and peaceful, and it was not stained by the world of mortals. It was very special.
"It is said that in ancient times, a Holy Emperor once came to retreat. It was only after he left for a thousand years that the ancestor of our clan found this place." Old Heavenly Snake said.
"That's right." Ye Fan asked them to leave and sit here cross-legged.
He stayed there for half a month without moving a step. During this period, he only passed on a Taoist book to Guo Zhen and gave him a few yuan and two elixirs.
As for Xiaosong, he was very restless. After chewing a piece of elixir, he climbed up and down in the stone room, like a little skinned monkey who couldn't rest.
"Three feet into the stone there is a stone picture"
Ye Fan was surprised and opened his eyes half a month later. Who left this? There was a picture inside the stone wall that even Yuan Tian's eyes could hardly see.
This is beyond common sense. His heavenly eyes can see through all illusions and can penetrate the stone walls of mountains. Now he has been enlightened here for half a month and only glimpsed it in a daze.
He wanted to stretch out his hand to break the wall, but suddenly stopped, remembering a rumor that ancient people with great supernatural powers used their thoughts to carve pictures and imprint them on the stone. If he broke open by force, everything would be destroyed and nothing would be gained.
Ye Fan did not move rashly, and finally sat down cross-legged facing the stone wall again, motionless, observing and understanding quietly, which made the Sky Snake clan feel uneasy. If he did not leave, they would be on tenterhooks every day.
"Yuan Tian Secret Technique Breaking Technique"
Only Ye Fan in the world could be so happy, rubbing the stone in the picture, otherwise even if a semi-sage came, it would be difficult to see clearly the Tao diagram three feet deep in the stone wall.
It took him another half a month, his eyes were dry and his eyes were almost cracked, before he could see everything clearly and draw a stone carving by himself.
When I saw it clearly, Ye Fan suddenly knew what it was. His heart was shocked. He quickly took out a bone fragment from his arms and carved out the map of the mountains and rivers he saw in the Lushan Underground Palace.
"Integrated, this is a divided part of a picture"
He was shocked in his heart, kept it firmly in his mind, and then gently erased the traces he had made.
Opportunity to become an immortal
He did not expect to see these things again in the original dragon cave. This was really unexpected. It can be guessed that it was either carved by the ancestor of the Serpent or left by the ancient Holy Emperor.
No matter what, at least he is a great saint
The ancients who were dismembered in the Longshan Underground Palace, the cremated immortal Chisongzi in Baling Mountain, which one is not a great sage, if you think about it carefully, it is really shocking. The pictures collected by the great sages of the human race must be extremely unparalleled.
To be honest, Ye Fan didn't think much when he got the first stone carving and the second bone fragment, but now he got the third picture, which made him excited and wanted to take it all in and see what happened.
His parents have passed away, and he has nothing left to pursue on earth. Becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao is his only goal. This picture of becoming an immortal is very important to him.
Ye Fan left Changbai Mountain without taking action personally. He told them that they could proclaim themselves for five hundred years and disappeared outside the snow-capped mountains with Guo Zhen and Xiao Song.
Outside, it's early spring, the ice and snow are melting, young shoots are sprouting out of the ground, and there is a faint earthy smell.
Ye Fan gave Guo Zhen some Taoist books, some source blocks and elixirs, and then they parted ways. They got to know each other and gave each other an opportunity. We cannot always walk together. Everyone has their own way and path.
He and Xiaosong returned to city B. During this period, he received a call from Xu Qiong. There had been no news from him for such a long time, so he thought something had happened to him.
Ye Fan invited Xu Qiong's family to have a light meal, and Xiaosong consciously stayed at home. He did not dare to leave, for fear that Xu Ye's crazy girl would torture him.
He took a short rest for two days, and then went all the way south, preparing to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. According to the news he got from the Tianlin Clan, the mystery of the real and fake Pang Bo was related to this lineage.
In fact, he guessed whether he wanted to go or not, but now he just wanted to confirm it.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is located in Bashan Mountain. In ancient times, no one knows how many great demons left their traditions there, and it has long become a sacred place for the demon clan.
Daba Mountain refers to the general name for the mountainous areas stretching along the borders of the four provinces, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province and Hubei Province. Ye Fan planned to take Shennongjia in Hubei Province and enter from the east end.
Because, since the last century, there have been rumors that there are savages in Shennongjia. Now that he is back, he also wants to find out whether the so-called savages actually exist.
Ye Fan took Xiaosong into Shennongjia. He walked very slowly, avoiding various scenic spots, and walked into the no-man's land. The ancient trees had sprouted, the springs were gurgling, and it was very peaceful.
The primitive area was full of shrubs and dense jungles. He was not in a hurry and ended up staying in a valley for a few days to appreciate the beauty of the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers.
"The savage has finally been discovered. Chase him quickly and be sure to take a clear photo," someone shouted.
Ye Fan saw a man chasing him in the mountains in the distance. He took Xiaosong and jumped lightly, silently passing by. Soon he saw a strange man covered in long hair dozens of miles away.
"Excuse me, please forgive me. I didn't harm anyone, I was just accidentally discovered by humans." When the wild man saw Ye Fan coming from the sky, his soul was gone, and he knelt down to beg for mercy.
Ye Fan was dumbfounded, and finally knew what the so-called savage was. It was a little demon that had not completely transformed. It was covered in long hair and ran upright. It really looked like a savage.
"Which mountain do you practice in?"
"I am a little demon from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. I often play with my friends, and occasionally I come to Shennongjia along the east side of Bashan." The little demon replied.
In fact, it is not too small. It is more than two meters tall when it stands upright. It is the refined form of a wild ape. Seriously speaking, it is not much different from a savage.
Ye Fan suddenly laughed. He was about to go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. He didn't expect to meet a little demon in the valley, which saved him a lot of trouble. He didn't make it difficult for the wild ape spirit, because he couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.
Think of the monkeys in Beidou.
The Daba Mountain in Guangxi is a thousand kilometers long and borders several provinces. The little monsters in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley sometimes sneak out and play along the mountain range.
Ye Fan couldn't laugh or cry. After learning the truth that the mystery of the savages in Shennongjia originated from the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, he really didn't know what to say and could only shake his head.
This wild ape traveled very quickly and took Ye Fan straight into the territory of Si, and deep into Bashan. He saw many hanging coffins on the cliffs in some uninhabited areas, which were full of mystery.
The cliffs are erected high and low, and the coffins are mottled. They have survived for thousands of years. This has to be said to be a harmonious atmosphere.
"Have you not opened it and looked at it?" Ye Fan asked.
The wild ape shrank his neck and said: "I dare not open it. Everyone said that an old valley owner five hundred years ago wanted to pursue an earthly immortal and opened many hanging coffins. In the end, he died inexplicably. From now on,
Few people dare to move."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Are we, the Taoists, still afraid of these things?"
"I wonder if the current Lord of Three Valleys has also said that it is related to an ancient earth immortal. He asked us not to disturb it. If we see a strange hanging coffin, we can tell him immediately."
Ye Fan's heart moved when he heard this. He thought of a record in the ancient book Ding Taiping Yulan Yu: "In the house of the Earth Immortal, there are several coffins hanging on the cliff."
Soon after, they entered the deepest part of Bashan Mountain, which was inaccessible to people. They turned left and right, and suddenly disappeared from a mountain range and entered an even more majestic area.
Lined with ancient cliffs, towering old trees, and the roar of apes and tigers, it is an extremely primitive landscape, as if no human has entered it for thousands of years.
"As expected." Ye Fan nodded. The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was also isolated from the world, surrounded by the ancient formation, and was in a vast uninhabited area.
In ancient times, a demon god practiced here, and then some famous demons came to seek refuge, so it gradually became a sacred place for the demon clan.
The valley is named Ten Thousand Demons because there are more than just one and demons in the valley, and there are all kinds of demons. Three valley masters have been elected in the past dynasties, all of whom are powerful people.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is full of talents and there are many demon clans. If we really look at the power, it is actually more prosperous and powerful than the inheritance of the other three demon gods.
Far away, Ye Fan saw a huge valley, where the evil spirit was soaring into the sky and surrounded by ribbons of black mist, like a peerless demon dormant.
"It's really a holy place for cultivating demons." He observed the mountain and the terrain. This is the place where demons emerge. According to the source book, it is possible that the ancient demon emperor transformed here, which resulted in such a terrain pattern.
Many little demons were climbing up and down in the valley, which was so lively. Ye Fan secretly thought that this place was so prosperous that there might really be tens of thousands of demons.
A big black flag rang loudly, with the words "Ten Thousand Demons Valley" written on it. It was inserted in the valley. Every time it was waved, it seemed to be able to overwhelm mountains and seas, emitting bursts of thunder, with extraordinary momentum.
Suddenly, the drums and music in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons were ringing, and a group of big demons came out to greet them. They seemed to be roaring in the sky and earth, picking up the stars and the moon, with a shocking momentum and overwhelming demonic aura.
"We are sorry that we cannot welcome you from afar."
In the center is a monkey, with a thunderous mouth, blazing eyes, and golden hair all over its body, making it look like a holy fighting ape.
Ye Fan was stunned and almost screamed. He looked so similar to the monkey from Beidou. The wild ape spirit next to him whispered that they were the three valley masters.
"Dare I ask the name of the Lord of Three Valleys?"
The Monkey King, who had a thunderous mouth and piercing eyes and sharp ears, answered directly: "Sun Wukong."
Ye Fan was stunned and turned to stone on the spot.
