Precipitous and towering, Qinglan dyes Kinki.Loneliness cannot be described, and all pictures should be written.

In the meeting of the most immortals, the Luan Crane returns in mid-air.The clouds and terraces are divided into distant mist, and the trees and valleys are hidden in the slanting light.

——Excerpt from "Mount Hua" by Zheng Gu (Tang Dynasty)
……

For Bai Fu, Li Xuexuan didn't care too much, holding a dagger, clinging to the cliff wall, exploring the stone nest with her toes, and descending alternately.In one of them, you need to turn your body over to get to the stone nest. Li Xuexuan slipped on her toes and fell sharply.In the blink of an eye, Li Xuexuan climbed onto the rock wall with her right foot, and flew back upside down in a "Yantang Hantan".Stepping on the stone nest with his left foot, he stabbed the dagger in the cliff with his right hand, and then he stabilized his figure.

Li Xuexuan escaped from death, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Seeing him in the chess-playing pavilion, Taoist Qingshan couldn't help applauding.

Seeing Li Xuexuan following him, Taoist Qingshan walked away and arrived at the South Peak of Huashan Mountain not long after.The South Peak of Huashan Mountain is the highest main peak of Huashan Mountain and the highest peak of the Five Sacred Mountains. The ancients respectfully called it "the head of Huashan Mountain".

Climbing to the top of Nanfeng, I feel that the sky is close at hand and within reach.The sky is full of stars, and you can reach out and pick them up.Looking down at the mountains, thousands of peaks and ravines, terraced mountains and stacked valleys, white rocks and green cypresses, mountains slipping through rocks, spraying clouds and releasing fog, one feels as if you are in a fairyland, like walking on floating clouds.

When Li Bai climbed to the South Peak, he sighed and said: "This mountain is the highest, and the breath is like the emperor's seat. I wish I could bring Xie Tiao's astonishing sentence, scratch my head and ask Qingtian's ear!".

Taoist Qingshan went straight to the long sky plank road on the east side of Songhui Peak.It is located outside the Nantian Gate and is the first of the dangerous roads in Huashan.The entire cliff is made of huge granite boulders, which are inlaid with oblique bars, and some shrubs are occasionally seen in the gaps of the rock walls.It seems that the rock wall is full of towering peaks, like splitting and cutting.Below the plank road is a cliff of thousands of feet, with thousands of feet standing on the wall, floating clouds piercing the sky, and the haze is vast.

People of later generations described: "Going out of the Nantian Gate to the west is the plank road. Although the plank is protected by copper pillars and iron cables, it is not wide enough. It is more than [-] feet square to the end. It is turned into a well, about three feet high, and it goes out from the side. Return to stack."

At this time, the long sky plank road is even more crude, and it can hardly be called a road.The plank road is inlaid with stone nails along the cut surface of the mountain range and built with cedar.The plank road is divided into three sections:

From the Shifang of Nantianmen to the west of Chaoyuan Cave, the road was dug out by the cliff, and a hole was dug every one meter, and a crossbar was inserted in the hole.Lay boards on the crossbars.This horizontal plank road is more than 20 meters long and about two feet wide, which is the upper section.

Knuckle down, there is a gap between two huge granite rocks.Iron rods run across the gap in the cliff, shaped like a hanging ladder in the air, descending step by step, which is called "chicken under the shelf", which is the middle section.

Then turn west to the lower section, dig stone holes on the cliff, wedge into stone piles, and erect three wooden rafters between the stone piles.When visitors come here, they must face the wall and stick to their abdomen, and move forward horizontally by stepping on the wooden rafters.

The long sky plank road is the most dangerous among the dangerous roads of Huashan Mountain. At the foot is the abyss, which is rarely visited by people.

Taoist Qingshan put Bai Fu down in the Nantianmen Shifang, and said to Li Xuexuan who was chasing him: "This young man has fallen into the illusion of the Black Dragon Demon Dao. The illusion itself is nothing special, but the young man has dragon scales protecting his body.

If my guess is correct, these two dragon scales should be the sun and moon reverse scales of the double-headed snake python in the Nether Valley of Qingcheng.This ferocious beast has lived for thousands of years, but unexpectedly died in the young man's hands.Strange, strange!

This sun and moon reverse scale has great spiritual power, but it is also the most yin and evil thing in the world. If there are no things that are the most yang and flaming in the world, they will be born and restrained. If a mortal wears it, he will die within three months.The boy should have been wearing python beads at the same time before, so he was safe and sound.

The illusion of the black dragon's evil way stimulated Ni Lin's evil spiritual power, but the young man had no python beads to counteract it.Although Ni Lin saved the young man, the evil spirit power also infiltrated into the young man's dantian cauldron. If he was not treated in time, his whole body might be ruined. "

Li Xuexuan took Bai Fu's pulse, and after examining Bai Fu's signs with his true energy, he knew that what Taoist Qingshan said was right.

Li Xuexuan stood up, gave a deep salute, and said, "Senior has good eyesight, and I would like to ask you to help me!"

Taoist Qingshan smiled proudly and said, "Save him? This young man is not related to me, why should I waste my true energy to save him?"

Li Xuexuan was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Senior lives here in seclusion. He is lonely and noble. He is a high-ranking person in the world. He definitely cannot bear to see innocent people die unexpectedly."

The Taoist in Qingshan smiled contemptuously, and said: "I am neither a rotten Confucian, nor do I enter your Buddhist school. It is up to you to act chivalrously and righteously, to be kind-hearted, to fake kindness and fake compassion. Lao Tzu said: Heaven and earth are not benevolent. .The life and death of the young man have nothing to do with me?"

Li Xuexuan said: "Brother Fu is under the gate of Qingcheng, and he may have a relationship with senior. If he can save his life, he will definitely repay senior for saving his life."

Taoist Qingshan snorted coldly: "Your kindness for saving life should be repaid by the fountain? Little girl, you are still too young to know the dangers in the world. The most terrifying thing in this world is often not your enemy, but the Zhongshan man saved by Mr. Dong Guo." Wolf."

Li Xuexuan pondered for a moment and said: "Senior, please tell me what I need to do before you will save me, senior brother?"

The Taoist in green shirt stroked his long beard with his hands, and said with a chuckle: "That's right, an exchange of equal value is the greatest kindness."

Li Xuexuan did not refute, and said, "Senior, please make a condition and see if I can accept it?"

Qingshan Dao said humanely: "The Black Dragon Yaodao forcibly keeps you in order to cultivate with you. I didn't act like that.

Walking through the sky plank road is my hermitage.This place is inaccessible to people and hard to reach by ghosts and gods. It is an excellent place for cultivation, but there is also one disadvantage. It is quite laborious to buy daily necessities, food, fruits and vegetables.I have reached a critical moment in my cultivation and cannot go down the mountain every day, so I need a servant to take care of everything for me.

You are very good at lightness kung fu, you come and go calmly, you are the perfect candidate.

I don't know how to use force. Whether I agree or not depends entirely on your wishes.

Of course, in the past few years, I will also pass on your peerless martial arts.Although your Emei Kungfu is somewhat famous, it is nothing in my eyes.Learning art with me for one year is better than ten years of penance in Emei. "

Li Xuexuan said, "How long do you want me to serve you?"

Taoist Qingshan pinched his fingers and said, "Three years!"

Li Xuexuan looked calm, and said: "Okay, I promise you. I also ask the senior to cast a spell and save me, Senior Brother!"

Seeing Li Xuexuan's straightforward agreement, Taoist Qingshan couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "To save this young man's life, I don't care. Let me ask you, is he your lover?"

Li Xuexuan blushed and said, "No, we are just fellow Taoists."

Taoist Qingshan wondered: "Then why did you make such a sacrifice for him?"

Li Xuexuan was silent.

Taoist Qingshan seemed to understand something, so he didn't ask any more.Let Li Xuexuan support Bai Fu, put his palm against the back of his heart, stimulate his inner strength, and the true energy in his dantian flows continuously from his palm into Bai Fu's body.

A black mist slowly rose above Bai Fu's head, like sitting in a steamer.Yin and evil spiritual power was channeled out from the dantian cauldron, turned into water vapor and evaporated.The dark air on his face slowly faded, and a blush appeared.

Bai Fu opened his eyes and woke up slowly.

　Precipitous and towering, Qinglan dyes Kinki.Loneliness cannot be described, and all pictures should be written.

　　In the meeting of the most immortals, the Luan Crane returns in mid-air.The clouds and terraces are divided into distant mist, and the trees and valleys are hidden in the slanting light.

　　Falling stones rang through the village, and violent thunder struck the temple.The air is cold and wide, and the white buildings are slightly outside the shadows.

　　The cloud falls to the lotus, and the spring flies with its palm exposed.The breasts are dangerous and slippery, and the firewood is thin on the top.

　　Indifference produces true fun, and leisurely rests in the world.Wildflowers on Mingjian Road, spring moss and astringent pine.

　　When I heard the chime in the far cave, the group of monks covered their doors in the daytime.He washes away the bones of the dust, and the incense is willing to depend on each other.
