"finally reached!"

Walking up the mountain road at the foot of Luofu Mountain, Chen Ziping, who is not usually very happy, is also very happy now.

"Yeah, I've been away for more than half a month. I didn't expect that Luofu is quite far from our Raozhou!" "Heh! If we can learn the spell of flying with the sword in the future, we don't have to work so hard!"

"Eh?! Do you really have the skill of flying with a sword?" Xing Yan was very surprised.

"Yes, in my Shangqing palace, there are many seniors who have practiced this technique! However, among the juniors like me, there are only a few who know the skill of flying with the sword. I heard from the elders in the door that the sword is flying. The art of flying cannot be practiced without a certain practice.”

"I and other mortals can really fly in that day?! It's unbelievable... However, that day at Horseshoe Mountain, I saw Ling Chengxian grow up and turn the rainbow into a bridge, so I knew that the magic of the Shangqing Palace was really extraordinary. I don't know In the future, I will have the opportunity to practice these profound Taoism!"

"Hehe, Daoist Zhang has this heart, and there will be a day when he will succeed, so let's do whatever it takes." The two walked and chatted on this boulevard.Not long after entering the Luofu Mountain Road, Xingyan felt that walking on this tree-lined stone path, he felt a gust of cool air blowing towards his face, the pores all over his body immediately opened up, and his whole body was extremely comfortable and transparent.The young man couldn't help but praised: "Huh! This foot of Luofu Mountain is worthy of being the cave of the Immortal House. It's really unusual——as soon as I came in, I felt cool and refreshed all over my body!" "It's cooler. However, it seems that the inside of this mountain is always cooler than the outside." "...That's true."

——Before entering Luofu Mountain, although it was only a late spring morning, the weather was quite scorching.The mountain road where the two are walking now is covered with thick shade and the sun is blowing, and there is a breeze; on the stone wall beside the road, there are often springs dripping, which makes people feel much cooler.These are all natural, and seem to have little to do with the fairy mountain cave.

Seeing that Xingyan was a little embarrassed, Chen Ziping smiled slightly and said: "However, the Luofu Mountain where my religion is located is one of the top ten caves, and it has many unique features. Just like the Luofu Mountains, Many peaks are covered with snow all the year round. However, Feiyunding, the main peak of Luofu where Shangqing Palace is located, is the highest peak at the foot of Luofu Mountain, but it is like spring all the year round. Even at the highest point of Feiyunding, it is snowy all year round. Wonderful flowers are everywhere, and the grass is green.”

"...It's really amazing!" Xing Yan has read some poems and books, and hang out in the market for a long time, so he is well-informed, but now he hears Chen Ziping's description of this fairy mountain style, but he is also full of admiration.

"Now we are just beginning to climb up, and we can't feel much difference yet, but if we go a little further, we will gradually see the beauty of my Luofu cave."

Sure enough, at the beginning, Xingyan felt that the mountain scenery was quite ordinary, and it seemed that it was not much different from the countryside and mountains that he saw along the way.But along the way, the more you go up, the more you feel that this Luofu Mountain is different.Gradually, Xingyan saw that beside the rugged stone road, there were many flowers and trees that even he, a mountain native, had never seen before.And in the bushes in the forest, some small animals with fur, color and shape are often glimpsed, disappearing in the forest.And now, the number of birds on this mountain path has gradually increased.Many birds with bright feathers are jumping and flying among the trees beside the mountain road.These birds do not seem to be timid.For example, Xingyan saw a few birds with golden feathers on their heads and long fiery red tails, just like the legendary phoenix, chirping "呖呖" and following Xingyan and the two of them. After a long journey, they circled endlessly above their heads.

"Ha! There are so many birds in Luofu Mountain!" The bird shadows fluttered around, and they were so dizzying and interested. "That's right! There have always been many rare birds and animals in Luofu Mountain, but..." "Huh?"

"I just feel that there seem to be a lot more birds in the aisle today than in the past. In the past, it seems that this tree-lined avenue is much quieter."

"Ha! It seems that I, Zhang Xingyan, have a good relationship with the birds in this world!" The two talked and laughed all the way, but they didn't quite realize the pain of climbing the mountain.This time Cheng Xingyan was walking with his head buried, but suddenly he heard Chen Ziping in front of him saying: "Brother Zhang Dao, please look ahead."

Xing Yan heard the words and looked up, and saw that at the end of the gradually thinning road, there was a huge rock standing on the mountain road in front, like a squatting tiger, blocking the way up the mountain.

And this rock is facing them, and there are four huge seal characters carved on it:
"The Seventh Cave"

These big characters, with the brilliance of the rising sun behind them, are condescending, looking down on this young man who has just attained Luofu.

However, even though he was looking up, the boy didn't feel any sense of oppression at all.Seeing such a majestic natural stone tablet for the first time, Xing Yan only felt an indescribable pride rippling in his chest.The many adjectives that rushed out of my heart finally blurted out, but they were only reduced to two simple words:

"Great!" Although the two of them had clearly seen the stone wall, it still took a lot of time to get close.

When Xingyan approached this stone wall, he realized that this stone wall is actually a huge rock beside the mountain road.It's just that the mountain road came to the rock and went around under the rock.Next to the road, there is a deep mountain stream - it is precisely by virtue of this terrain that this mountain wall appears so abrupt and majestic in front of climbers.Xingyan secretly praises the person who chose this stone wall to chop the characters in his heart, he really has originality.Going around this stone wall, Xingyan found that the mountain road under his feet had become a little steeper, and he had begun to struggle a bit during the climb.After walking for another distance, Xing Yan was a little out of breath. When he looked around, he saw a corner of the cornice in the dense forest not far from the road.

——Walking into Luofu Mountain for so long, Xingyan saw the buildings for the first time, so he immediately grabbed Chen Ziping and asked where it was, and whether he had reached the Shangqing Palace—but he heard Chen Ziping answer:

"That is a half-mountain pavilion for people to rest their feet. Now it is less than halfway away from the Shangqing Palace on the Feiyunding, and it has not yet reached the fork that leads to the Feiyunding."

"..." "However, after walking so much now, I'm a little tired——shall we take a rest at this half-mountain pavilion?" So, wake up, Chen Ziping and Chen Ziping turned into the small pavilion in the forest beside the road. In the middle, sit on the edge of the pavilion and rest your feet.Under the breeze blowing in the forest, after a while I woke up and felt exhausted.Looking around, I saw that the forest was full of exotic flowers and plants, and the scenery was quite quiet; I also saw wisps of sunlight coming in from not far away from the forest, as if the bright place had a hidden cave.At the moment, Xingyan, who is sitting idly, has the intention of exploring.Looking back at Chen Ziping who was resting with his eyes closed, he saw that his face was still showing some fatigue, so he couldn't bear to take him with him, so he only told him:
"Brother Chen Dao, you rest here first, I will go for a walk, and I will come to find you in a while." Walking casually in the forest, after looking at the flowers and trees in the forest for a while, he walked towards the bright place.When we got to the place where the ray of light leaked in, we found that we had reached the edge of the forest.Walking out of the gap in the forest, Xingyan suddenly found that the world in front of him seemed to spread out in front of him——

This is the side of the main foot of Luofu. Looking from here, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery of clouds and smoke and undulating mountains in the distance.There is also a mountain road beside the forest, which stretches around the mountain, and it seems that it can also go up and down.

However, this stone path seems to be seldom visited by people. Although it is still wide, the stone steps are uneven and overgrown with weeds.On the outside of this stone path, there are mostly steep hillsides, facing a mountain stream that seems to be flowing with water.Looking down from this high place, I just feel that the bottom of this cliff is actually invisible at a glance.

Although this mountain road seems quite dangerous, to Xing Yan, a mountain boy who was born in the Horseshoe Mountains, it is just flat ground.At that moment, Xingyan followed the stone path and walked up another distance, only to feel that the magnificent mountain scenery in front of him changed every step.

When he stopped to look at the mountains in the distance, he suddenly heard someone coming from the mountain behind him:

"Come to fight the wind and rain, go to ride the haze. Slant to shine on the green peaks, I am the one who returns to the mountain road..."

Listening to this voice, it seems that the person who sang it is already old, and there is a sense of desolation during the singing.Xingyan hurriedly turned his head to look around, and saw an elderly Taoist man in green clothes and straw sandals walking towards him on the mountain road behind him.

"Well, this Luofu Mountain has been climbed almost halfway, and I should have met a few Taoists of Shangqing." Just as he thought about it, the old Taoist in black clothes walked up to him.Xingyan hurriedly moved aside, and bowed to the Taoist priest who obviously noticed him.The Taoist also bowed politely and continued to walk forward.

After the Taoist passed by, Xingyan continued to look at his mountain scenery, preparing to go back after a while and meet that Chen Ziping.However, after a while, the young man thought in his heart: "The words sung by the Taoist priest just now are very strange, with a bit of hazy meaning-ah! This is clearly a senior with high morals, but It’s my blindness!” What a pity!This face-to-face meeting, I didn't ask for advice..." Xing Yan felt extremely regretful now. "Huh?This Taoist is not walking very fast, I should catch up now, there should be still time. "

However, waiting to wake up and say that his feet are flying like flying, and he has driven for a long distance, but he sees the cloudy mountains in front of him, the sky is vast, and there is no one on the winding mountain road!
