Guo Song has finished digging his master's grotto, which is five feet deep, six feet high and four feet wide. It is a very good resting place. He has cleaned the cave and the next step is to move the master.
Relocation is very important. Master wrote very clearly in the letter that it must be done gently, slowly and steadily, and must not be bumped. Finally, the original owner must be thanked.
Guo Song held his master in his arms with one hand, and held the long rope with the other hand. He concentrated on moving down bit by bit. He must not be impatient at this time.
At this time, the fierce man outside suddenly let out a long roar, and the sound was abnormal. However, Guo Song could not care about what was happening outside at this time. Even if the sky collapsed outside, he had to accurately place the master's body in the cave.
The soul-welcoming incense was lit in the grotto, and the position was determined. Guo Song smoothly put the master into the grotto little by little. His back was already soaked with sweat. He looked at the master sitting cross-legged in his grotto, with a calm expression and the corners of his mouth.
Still smiling, he finally let go.
Guo Song went to the cave entrance and took a look. He looked through a small gap and saw that Mengzi was no longer in the cave. There was no movement outside, so he moved the boulder back to its original position.
The next step is to seal the entrance of the cave and let the master sleep here without letting anyone disturb him.
It was in the letter from his master that he learned the secret of the cave entrance. It was because the Taoist priests dug too many caves and destroyed the structure of the cave. There was probably a violent collapse during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The round stone blocking the cave entrance collapsed from above.
A huge stone was carved into a round shape by Taoist priests.
The Eagle Cave outside was also the result of the tearing of the stone wall more than ten years ago. Master believed in the letter that the collapse of the grotto was not actually over, but because of the existence of this round stone, the forces of all parties were skillfully balanced. Once this
If the boulder falls, a second violent collapse is likely to occur, with disastrous consequences.
Therefore, this round stone is also called the balance stone and cannot be moved too much. Several generations of Taoist priests have been trying to find ways to fix the balance stone.
To seal the entrance of the cave, they used the Taoist method to fix the boulders. The Taoist priests drilled three holes around the boulders, each hole was about the diameter of a bowl, and then inserted three two-foot-long stone pillars into the holes.
The forces squeeze each other and fit together tightly, so that the boulder is completely fixed and can no longer move.
Guo Song himself could only leave through the secret passage below.
Guo Song knocked the three stone pillars deeply into his eyes. Even with his own strength, he could not pull them out. The boulders were firmly fixed.
He returned to his master's grotto and kowtowed three times to his master with tears in his eyes. "Master, my disciple has left. Time has been long. May your soul live forever!"
He sighed softly. His soul had traveled through thousands of years. Did the master's soul also go to another world?
Guo Song took one last look at his master, and then quickly climbed down the stone wall. He went out twice. The master said that there was a pool below, but that was when the water rose in summer, and now the water level is very low, and everything below is covered with water.
If you jump off a hard and sharp rock, you will definitely be shattered into pieces.
The water pool was at the edge, and this was the exit. Guo Song took a deep breath and dived into the water pool.
...........
"Are you sure?"
Master Baiyun could not conceal his inner excitement, and his voice trembled.
Three Taoist priests knelt on the ground. Chi Xuan Fang Shi said: "We have been monitoring him for three days and saw him entering and exiting the Eagle Cave with our own eyes. He was there during the day and came out to look for food at night. Just this morning, Junior Brother Lei climbed up to the Eagle Cave.
, to see the true face.”
"What did you see?" Master Baiyun turned to Lei Lingzi next to him.
Lei Lingzi said solemnly: "There is only the eagle inside, he is not inside."
Master Baiyun was a little anxious, "Chixuan saw him go in with his own eyes and never came out again, but you said he was not inside. What do you mean?"
Chi Xuan Alchemist said: "Abbot Qi, I believe that the stone wall inside is movable. We didn't see it last time and pushed the stone wall away. There should be Lingji Cave inside, otherwise he would not have disappeared out of thin air."
Master Bai Ju also said: "I think so too, the stone wall is a cover, otherwise we would have found Lingji Cave long ago."
Master Baiyun patted his forehead and sighed: "Thirty years, thirty years of searching, and we finally found it. Junior brother, let's go and report it to Master."
Master Ge Yuntian has become immortal, has no body and is incorruptible, and has been frozen in the icehouse. Only Li Xuande is left with a dying breath. The end has come. When he heard that he had found Lingji, his eyes suddenly lit up and he struggled to sit up.
Panting, he asked: "But at Cuiping Peak?"
"Exactly!"
"Your uncle is right. We should build the Zixiao Villa immediately on Cuiping Peak. Lingji Cave is our territory and no wild people are allowed to peep."
"Disciple, obey the order!"
"Thoroughly clean the remains in the cave, then move the three of us into Lingji Cave, sit in the Sanqing position, and then seal Lingji Cave permanently."
After Li Xuande finished his last words, he closed his eyes and died.
Immediately, Master Baiyun summoned more than 2,000 Zixiao Taoist priests and began to build the Zixiao Villa on Cuiping Peak. He personally led all the Taoist priests above the alchemist level to open the Lingji Cave and welcome the three heavenly masters to the immortal path.

...........
Guo Song dived out of the Danzheng Gorge. He took a quick bath and shaved off his inch-long mustache with a sharp dagger.
Soon, Kongtong Mountain would become his memory. He sat cross-legged on a big rock until dusk, when it was time to set off.
"Tweet-"
Suddenly, a fierce roar came from the sky.
Guo Song was startled, what happened to Mengzi? He whistled, and Mengzi fell from the sky, gently stood on Guo Song's shoulder, rubbed his mouth twice on Guo Song's face, and suddenly fluttered his wings and flew up.
"Chirp--" it circled in the sky and chirped.
Guo Song jumped up from the boulder. Something must have happened. He saw Mengzi circling twice and flying towards Cuiping Peak.
Guo Song ran all the way and took another route, first to Jingle Palace, then across Shengxian Bridge, to Cuiping Peak.
Not long after, Guo Song jumped from the back gable into Jingle Palace.
"Junior brother Guo Song, we are looking for you everywhere."
Li Mingdong saw Guo Song at the first sight and hurriedly came to greet him.
"What happened?"
"For some unknown reason, all the Taoist priests from the Zixiao family flocked to your Qingxu Temple and built a lot of construction there."
Guo Song frowned and walked quickly outside Jingle Palace. Although Qingxu Temple actually no longer existed and another Taoist temple would be built there sooner or later, Zixiao Temple's behavior of occupying a magpie's nest still made him
I felt very unhappy.
You can't see Qingxu Temple from Jingle Palace, but you can see the mountain road leading to Qingxu Temple. All you can see is that there is an endless stream of Zixiao Taoist priests on the mountain road. They carry wood, bricks and tiles, like a captain.
Ants march towards the top of Cuiping Peak.
On the other side, there is an endless stream of Taoist priests coming down the mountain, and they continue to go back to carry supplies.
Of course, Zixiao Tiangong will not start burning bricks and cutting wood just now. They have a large number of ready-made building materials in the palace. As long as the foundation is laid, a Zixiao Villa can be built within a few days.
Guo Song jumped on a big tree and took a closer look. He saw that the mountain gate had been built. It was paved with gold tiles and had eaves and painted beams on both sides. It was very luxurious.
At this moment, there was a faint muffled sound in the distance, 'Boom!' It seemed to be hitting something.
Not long after, there was another muffled sound, and Guo Song's expression changed. He jumped off the tree and ran towards Cuiping Peak.
Standing on a big tree at the foot of Cuipingfeng Mountain, Guo Song could see clearly that what he was most worried about finally happened.
Countless thick ropes were dropped from the peak, many holes were drilled into the stone wall, each piece of wood was driven in, wooden boards were laid on top, and ropes were circled around for protection.
In this way, an aerial trestle was built below the Eagle Cave, and a dozen red-robed Taoist priests were clinging to the soft ladder on the stone wall.
There were five or six Taoist priests standing on the trestle in the air. They were holding a long wooden bumper and slammed it again. The sound changed. It was no longer a muffled sound, but a breaking sound.
Guo Song's heart suddenly shrank and solidified. He seemed to see a terrible thing about to happen. They... they actually broke the boulder and Lingji Cave was about to collapse.
Guo Song turned around, jumped down, and ran towards Danzheng Gorge like crazy. He had to rescue his master's body before Lingji Cave collapsed.
.........
The round stone blocking the cave was broken into three pieces and fell to the bottom of Lingji Cave, revealing the dark cave entrance. The first person to climb in was Baiyun Zhenren. For a moment, his voice of surprise was heard.
"Lingji Cave! Lingji Cave has been found!"
Dozens of Taoist priests on the cliff suddenly cheered.
The Taoist priests walked in one after another. They lit torches and looked at the surrounding grottoes and the corpses of Taoist priests. They were all extremely excited.
At this time, Master Baiyun said to everyone in a deep voice: "Logically, I shouldn't resist the master's order, but this time we have to be decisive. After the three heavenly masters are invited to enter the cave, the Lingji Cave cannot be closed."
"Senior brother, you mean that we also have a chance?"
Master Baiyun nodded, "We will one day practice the way of heaven, and in the future we will also enlighten here, so this will be the place where generations of heavenly masters in Zixiao Palace ascend and attain enlightenment."
"What to do with the bones in the cave?"
"Clean them all up. Except for the Zixiao system, there is no room for wild ways to occupy here!"
Master Baiyun's order could not be resisted. He glanced at the people behind him and said coldly: "Let's do it!"
A dozen alchemists came in carrying rope ladders and threw them out one by one. They went down the stone wall and began to clean the bones in the Lingji Cave one by one. The bones were transported out one by one in baskets, and the belongings of the immortal Taoist priests were also
was shipped out.
"Master, there is actually an incorruptible body here, what should I do?" An alchemist shouted in surprise.
A trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of Master Baiyun, and he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Just throw it down the hole!"
