Take yourself to the altar

Chapter 26 [026] Mingyue Mountain across the two prefectures

On the mountain road in Yudu Prefecture, a carriage was leisurely driving.

On the shaft of the carriage, the driver is a burly and strong man.

He is eight feet tall and has bright eyes. Although he is quite leisurely driving, he is always alert to his surroundings from the corner of his eyes.Anyone who has experienced people here will definitely see at a glance that this person is a seasoned warrior with rich experience in walking the rivers and lakes.

The chaos of the world has become obvious, and in the barren mountains and wild mountains, it is not uncommon for a thief to suddenly jump out from behind a certain tree or a certain boulder to cut the path and rob the road.

But even with a little bit of experience, they would give up intimidated by the hidden sophistication of a strong man.After all, cutting the diameter is mostly for money, not for death.

However, it is rare to drive a carriage to such a barren mountain.

The mountain road is no different than others, if you can't get through it, then you really can't get through it.The difficulty of the road to Shu is known to everyone in Daqian.When passing through a forest and about to turn into the mountains, the path close to the rocky cliff in front of him was clearly a desperate situation where the carriage could not continue.

The strong man jumped down, stepped forward to check it out, turned back to the carriage and bowed in greeting: "Uncle, Master, Mingyue Mountain has arrived. The road ahead is steep and the carriage cannot pass. We have to walk forward."

"Well," a gentle voice in the carriage replied, "calculating the time, it should be here—Junior brother, let's go."

Another rather young voice replied: "Brother, please!"

The strong man stepped forward to meet him, only to see two people getting on and off the car, both wearing Taoist robes.The first one looks about 40 or [-] years old, elegant and easy-going, laughs before saying a word, and makes people feel close at first sight. The strong man calls him "Master"; the other is very young, with an immature face and a thin body, but Those eyes are exceptionally calm, if you look at them for a long time, you will even have the illusion that your eyes are full of stars, the strong man becomes more respectful, and even calls him "Master"!
In front of them were Feng Yu, Daoist Hongming and Lin Hu.

After leaving Shiyan Village, because Feng Yu was injured, even with the help of a magic talisman, he couldn't walk a long way with his feet.However, Daoist Hongming's cultivation had not yet reached the "Golden Core Stage", and his true energy and mana could not support the consumption of "Flying Objects". Therefore, he simply found a carriage for Feng Yu, and came slowly to Mingyue Mountain without worrying about it.

"Lin Hu, please drive along the way, thank you for your hard work~"

Daoist Hongming smiled warmly and spoke a word of relief.He looks young, but in fact he has practiced for more than one year, so he is no different when facing Lin Hu.On the contrary, Feng Yu, a serious "master", is only in his twenties, and he feels uncomfortable when he treats his original friends with "teacher etiquette".

Hongming looked at it funny, and Fu Xu said: "My generation of practitioners, the master is the master, the age is really nothing, and the younger brother does not need to worry about it. If you really want to care about it, you might as well imagine that after 200 years, you What is the difference in 20 years of life?"

Feng Yu blushed a little, but it made sense for him to say that.After all, after living for 200 years, he and Lin Hu are completely "people of the same age" in the eyes of others, right?
Sure enough, I feel relieved and feel more at ease.He and Lin Hu had a friendship of peers, and they smiled tacitly when they looked at each other, which relieved a lot of the restrained atmosphere.

Mingyue Mountain is located in the north of Yudu Prefecture, and its mountain range is north-south, stretching for more than [-] miles, across Shun'an Prefecture and Yudu Prefecture.As far as Mingyue Mountain, the surrounding area is wilderness. The terrain at the southern end of the mountain range is flat, and there are occasional villages and people.When you enter the mountain, the mountain goes along the river and gradually becomes steeper. From then on, there are almost no people in the mountain, only the wild forest, so it is valued by Taoist disciples who practice in seclusion.

The three of them used talismans and went into the mountain.

Although the mountain road was winding and steep, Feng Yu walked very leisurely with the help of amulets.

Daoist Hongming traveled far away for more than a few years, and he felt comfortable when he returned to Mingyue Mountain. While walking, he introduced the mountain to the two with great interest.There are many mountains in the capital of Chongqing. Although there are no scenic spots with strange peaks and rocks, it is surrounded by water and the beauty of mountains and rivers complements each other, which is not inferior to other places.

After walking leisurely for half a day, the three of them had reached the depths of the mountain.

Mingyue Mountain is not an important road for business travelers, so when you come here, there is no path at all in the mountain.As far as you can see, the green pines and green plants are luxuriant like a cover, the weeds and bushes grow wantonly, the tigers roar and the monkeys sing, the eagles, falcons and cranes are full of vitality, fresh and natural!
Hongming raised his hand and pointed, and said with a smile: "The main peak is in front of you, and you will be home here!"

Feng Yu followed the trend and looked up, feeling excited.

Walking out of the wild land, there is a well-built stone mountain road in front of you.To build a road in such an inaccessible place, ordinary people don't know how much it will cost.But for monks who are equipped with supernatural spells, it is not so troublesome.

Stepping on the cobblestone road, Feng Yu immediately noticed the changes in the aura around him.

Before stepping into the main peak, although Mingyue Mountain is beautiful and magnificent, it can't be considered too outstanding.However, when you step into the main peak, the scenery you see has not changed, but when you are in it, you suddenly feel that there is an indescribable spirituality in the world.Walking on the mountain road, mist gradually formed, lingering around the mountainside like a veil.

Even Lin Hu, who is less perceptive, found that after stepping on the main peak, his whole body seemed to be in harmony, and he felt refreshed and refreshed after taking a breath of cool mountain air.

Feng Yuqi said: "Brother, the aura of the main peak is much better than other places!"

Daoist Hongming said with a smile: "The main peak is the node of the Mingyue Mountain vein. The ancestors of my sect used it according to the terrain and arranged a 'spirit-gathering array' to cover the main peak, so the spiritual energy is better than other places."

Feng Yu praised: "If you practice here, you will get twice the result with half the effort. It is really a blessed place!"

Hongming stroked his beard and smiled brightly, but did not speak, obviously quite proud of his face.

The three of them watched and walked along the road, and after a while, they reached the pavilion in the middle of the mountain. Outside the pavilion stood a huge stone more than ten feet high, with the words "Mingyue Mountain" written on it.Going forward, walking through the steep and narrow mountain road, a majestic mountain gate appears in front of it. There is a plaque on the gate, and the five characters of "Shenxiao Qingyun Guan" are written in writing.

The mountain gate is built according to the danger, and the scenery is unbeatable.

The left side of the mountain is the main peak, as steep as a stand, straight up tens of feet, and an old pine stands on the top, with pine branches sticking out of the rock wall, like stretching arms, as if welcoming guests.On the right side is a deep valley, on the edge of the mountain road, the cliff falls straight to the bottom. At this time, the fog in the valley has not dissipated, and it gathers into the sea. The mountain gate seems to float above the sea of ​​fog, so it is named "Qingyun".

Both Feng Yu and Lin Hu were newcomers, and they all admired the scenery.

After crossing the mountain gate, the mountain road turns into the main peak, with rock walls on both sides.After passing the rock wall, you can see the open platform in the main peak. The Taoist temple on the steps in the distance is quiet and natural, hidden among pine trees and green bamboos, harmonious and quiet.

The door of the Taoist temple is closed.

But as soon as the three of them walked to the Guanmen, the closed door opened just right.

A head in a bun poked out from behind the door. He was about fourteen or fifteen years old, smart and cute. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he saw Hongming among the three of them. He quickly came out from behind the door and saluted respectfully. Bow: "Disciple pays homage to Master!"

Of course it was not a coincidence, it was just that after walking up the mountain gate, Hongming sent a message, and that Daotong came to greet him just now.

"Get up," Daoist Hongming led Feng Yu out, and said, "Come, see your Uncle Feng."

There was curiosity in the Taoist boy's eyes, but his manners were not bad, Jishou said: "Disciple pays homage to Master Feng!" After seeing the ceremony, his eyes turned to Lin Hu involuntarily, after all, there was another person who came with the master.

Seeing this was funny, Hongming said, "Lin Hu will study the Fa at Qingyun Temple in the future, he is your junior brother, and you will meet again after the apprentice ceremony." Then he turned around and said to Feng Yu: "This son 'Fu Chen', There is another son, 'Fu Xu', all of whom are named disciples of the elder brother, and his practice is still in its infancy, and he has not achieved much so far, so you might as well raise a little bit more in the future!"

Feng Yu smiled wryly. He himself is a novice cultivator. How can he give advice?

After seeing each other, followed by Hong Ming, a group of people walked into the temple.

Compared with the narrow layout of Qingfeng Temple in Hezhou, Qingyun Temple is spacious and quiet. The mountains, rocks, trees, and lampstand decorations are not complicated, but they are all well-displayed, and there seems to be some mystery in it.Feng Yu fell in love with this retreat almost immediately.

"Fu Chen," Hong Ming, who was walking in front, asked, "I just sent a message to both of you as a teacher, why didn't you see your senior brother?"

Daotong Fu Chen said honestly: "Brother is cleaning in the back mountain, so you have to slow down, master, don't blame me! I think it's time to arrive——"

Before he finished speaking, everyone heard a rush of footsteps in the distance, and they approached quickly accompanied by the sound of panting.Sure enough, a Taoist boy who was about the same age as Fu Chen, but taller, hurried over with a bamboo broom in his hand.

Seeing Hongming, he immediately stopped, and he couldn't stand still, so he bowed his head and bowed: "Brother, disciple pays homage to Master!"

Hongming saw that he was reckless, and even forgot to put the broom away, and showed helplessness on his face: "How many times have I taught you as a teacher, you should be calm and orderly in dealing with people, don't rush, you are so anxious, you don't care about your hands. Wouldn't it be impolite to put away all the utensils?"

It was only at this time that Daotong realized that he was still holding the broom in his hand, and hurriedly threw it aside: "Brother, this disciple just heard the message from Master. I was in a hurry at the moment. I know I was wrong. From now on, I will follow Master's instruction!"

Feng Yu watched happily from the sidelines.

The two disciples of my senior brother, one is clever and clever, and the other is simple and straightforward, they are cute and interesting.Then Hongming invited his disciples to visit Feng Yu, led the two inside, and introduced Qingyun Temple to them at the same time.

Only now did Feng Yu realize that there were only five people including him and Lin Hu in the entire Qingyun Temple!
Couldn't help asking: "Senior brother, why are there only a few people in our temple, and no other fellows?" Before Feng Yu thought that he would meet many seniors and juniors from the same sect, it turned out that including the newcomers, it would be too late. Only one hand!
Hongming said: "My 'Shenxiao Sect' is derived from the orthodox Taoism, and it is divided into three branches, Yanyun North Cangshan Mountain, Donghai Laoshan Mountain, and Wushu Zhongmingyue Mountain. Among the three branches, North Cangshan Mountain cultivates inner alchemy , focusing on cultivation, the number of people is the most prosperous; Laoshan has both, and the number of disciples is second. And Wu Mingyue Mountain walks the "Fengshen School". The inheritance is weak."

When he was a disciple in the past, Hongming didn't think so much.

Later, his master passed away in a martyrdom, and he took over the inheritance of Qingyun Temple. After experiencing this crisis again, he paid more attention to the inheritance of the sect.If it was before, with Lin Hu's age and aptitude, he would not be able to do it even if he was just a "registered disciple".

After introducing the lineage, Hongming smiled and said, "Brother, I also deeply feel that the lineage of our sect is weak. Now that the younger brother and Lin Hu are here, the audience has gained a bit of popularity."
