Qingcheng Mountain is located in Dujiang City, Sichuan Province, which is a national five-A scenic spot and a cultural holy land.

The whole mountain is verdant and verdant, evergreen in all seasons, the peaks are surrounded by each other, the shape is like a city outline, the Dan ladder is a thousand steps, the winding path is secluded, it is divided into the front mountain and the back mountain.

There is a palace of the Quanzhen Dragon Sect in the front mountain, which is also one of the ten major caves. One of the Five Great Immortal Mountains.

Since the end of the Western Han Dynasty, countless monks who have sought immortals and asked for Tao have practiced here.

In modern times, science and technology began to flourish, and some famous temples were opened as scenic spots. But this is only the front mountain, and a large area of the back mountain is still virgin forest.

Xia Ge came to the foot of Qingcheng Mountain and immediately dialed the phone number left by the master.

Xia Ge had already communicated with the contact person once before, and knew that the contact person was actually a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain.

In the end, he was told to wait at the bottom of the mountain, and it would take more than half an hour for the Niu Taoist to take the cable car to come down.

The road to the back mountain does not need to go up the front mountain, Xia Ge also climbed the front mountain when he came to travel in the past, so he was not interested in going up the mountain to worship.

He took Yin Suwan and Zhao Ziqi and the two bodyguards arranged by Xiong Jin to walk around the town below the mountain.

There is an ancient town at the foot of the mountain, which sells a lot of handicrafts, and there are also ordinary supermarkets that sell some rice, oil and salt.

Xia Ge was going to buy some to take into the mountains.

They came this time empty-handed, after all, they could buy everything they needed to enter the mountain.

Xia Ge used to come over and hear some old people say that they often bought some rice, oil and salt during the New Year and festivals, went into the back mountains to find Taoist priests, and sent them some food.

Part of it was the Taoist priests who gave money to send things regularly. There are also some people from outside who take the initiative to visit and bring gifts into the mountain.

Xia Ge heard other people say last time that there are a few Taoist priests in the back mountain who can also do some fortune-telling and hexagram things, which is very effective. Outsiders don't know about it, only locals know it.

He guessed that the master Zhang Qingfeng was probably in the hermitage of such a Taoist priest.

When shopping, Yin Suwan and Zhao Ziqi chatted non-stop.

Yin Suwan was still entangled with Xia Ge not letting her bring her smartphone into the mountain for live broadcast, and her mobile phone was in vain.

However, Zhao Ziqi brought a digital camera, which can take pictures and videos.

"Master, why can't you use a smartphone. The scenery here is so beautiful, the live broadcast effect must be very good. Yin Suwan said in stick Chinese.

Xia Ge is equipped with a translator, but he can understand it. explained: "This time I entered the mountain for cultivation, and I will take you to see the ancestor." You can't just go live. ”

Zhao Ziqi asked curiously: "Does the master's master also have superpowers like the master?"

"Of course, I was taught by my master. Xia Ge nodded.

He actually wanted to correct the two of them not to call themselves masters, but he also blamed himself for saying too much before. It has already been said that the apprentices will be accepted.

This title embarrassed him, and made him embarrassed to use the passivity of [scumbag's glasses].

However, he didn't think about what to do with the two of them, everything was so that the two of them would not reveal the secrets of the advanced exercises.

While chatting, several people entered the supermarket.

I bought all kinds of things, and I basically bought them according to the equipment for survival in the wild.

There are tents for wilderness survival, sleeping bags, igniters, portable gas stoves, and more.

I also brought a few pieces of instant noodles, Xia Ge set a weight of 300 pounds for himself, and other people's ones just brought the items they needed.

After all, his physical abilities are completely different from others, and in the eyes of ordinary people, he has actually become a superman.

Unless the enemy attacked him when he entered the mountain this time, ordinary questions would not be difficult for Xia Ge.

Even Zhao Ziqi and Yin Suwan can't be treated as delicate girls because they have been practicing with Xia Ge for a while.

"Xia Ge, we can also bring about one hundred and fifty catties, since we are going to enter the mountain for more than a month, let's bring more things. Xiao Jing said.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Zhang, we have to enter the primeval forest, the road is not easy to walk, is it really okay?" Xia Ge said with some doubts.

Considering that the road was long and difficult to walk, Xia Ge asked the two disciples to only bring about fifty catties of supplies. Basically, bring your own tent, sleeping bag, your own personal belongings, etc.

He carried everything else, and now the two bodyguards asked to bring him more, which was actually very welcome.

But for fear that they would drop the chain halfway, he had a lot of strength, but the mountain road was not easy to walk, and he would bring about 300 catties at most. It's a very big backpack. Even he had to carry one on his chest, and the backpack on his back was much taller than his.

"We all carry 80 kilograms of weight in cross-country drills, and we carry other equipment that is heavier, so it doesn't matter. Zhang Jin also said.

Xia Ge knew that the two of them were said to be special forces, and they also had a set of survival in the wild, so he nodded and agreed.

When the Niu Taoist priest went down the mountain and saw five people, he saw several people carrying large bags and small bags in an exaggerated manner.

Several people met on the side of the path to the back mountain, Xia Ge and they were waiting at the intersection, and Daoist Niu came from behind them.

Pointing at Xia Ge and smacking his tongue, "You guys are too exaggerated, I'm afraid it's okay to live for half a year." ”

"Hehe, in fact, no, I heard that the master has friends in the mountains, and the extra materials will be given to others when the time comes. Xia Ge said with a smile.

"Okay, okay. We'll show you the way, and it's about ten hours away. Do you want to find a donkey to help you pull it?" asked the priest Niu Daoist.

Xia Ge looked at Yin Suwan, who was wearing sportswear and outlining her figure, but standing straight, and then at Zhao Ziqi, who was smiling easily, and shook her head.

They didn't have much to carry, and the two bodyguards helped carry a lot.

Seeing this, Daoist Niu nodded, and he didn't plan to help a few people get things, so he took the lead.

The road ahead is easy to walk, and the foot is still a stone path, and the trees on both sides are neat and tidy, obviously combed.

Everyone walked very easily, and Zhao Ziqi occasionally ran to the front with a camera to help everyone take some photos.

It really looked like an outing, Zhao Ziqi saw Xia Ge carrying an army-green backpack that was two or three times larger than himself, and his eyes lit up.

Sure enough, it's my favorite idol master, it's amazing!

The feeling of decathlon, compared with the two bodyguards, Zhao Ziqi feels that the cheap master is much more powerful.

Don't look at the bodyguard's size, I heard that it was born as a special soldier. But Zhao Ziqi knew that if there was a fight, it would definitely be a master!

Although Xia Ge was not tired or sweating, there was a lot of water near the mountain road, and occasionally splashed on his body from the moss boulders, which also wet his cheeks.

As I was wiping the water marks on my face, I heard a click.

Zhao Ziqi took a photo and shouted excitedly: "The master is so handsome!"

Xia Ge shook his head, took out water without answering, handed it to a few people and said, "Let's rest, drink water." ”

Yin Suwan is not as strong as Xia Ge's body, her hair is soaked, and her clothes are also close to her body, panting. Everyone walked for four or five hours, and they were really tired.

"Thank you, master!" Yin Suwan replied sweetly.

Xia Ge had already brought the equipment, and his translation ability was gone, but he knew that he was grateful. He smiled and nodded.

He looked at the equipment, and there were no names on it. sighed in his heart, it seems that they get along plainly, and the two girls will not be bound to him.

Daoist Niu smiled and praised in the distance: "The two girls can endure hardships." I took a couple of college students into the mountains for a hike last week, only to be unable to leave for two hours. The whole person is paralyzed on the stones, you say that this deep mountain and old forest, who can walk for them. As a result, I rested for a few hours and went back the way I came. ”

"Hehe, they've practiced, right. How many ways are there to choose?" Xia Ge asked.

"You see there's smoke over there, and there are already cultivators around here. But these are false monks, and there are many who have come to experience life. This road is what they built. ”

"The true monk is still in the depths of the mountains. In those places, there is not even a road, so you need to walk along the waterway and then go over the mountains. Daoist Niu pointed to the halfway up the mountain in the distance and said.

The mountain road winds its way to a thatched hut in the distance. However, the mountain road behind cannot be followed by a stone road.

Daoist Niu continued: "Take a good rest, the road to the meeting is very difficult. If you want to climb the mountain, I will open the way in front of you, and you should be safe. ”

Everyone nodded.

Xia Ge and the others had a sapper shovel in their hands just to deal with the current situation. This sapper shovel is used as a crutch and can also be used to chop thorns.

It's not a tropical area, so there aren't many vines, but there are quite a few low shrubs.

Moreover, the water vapor is surrounded, the streams are endless, and the strange rocky road is still relatively slippery.

After a break of more than ten minutes, everyone started to hit the road again.

After walking for half an hour, I completely entered the mountain forest.

In addition to the sound of water, there are occasional birds and monkeys.

"Knock knock!" a bell rang in the distance.

Daoist Niu explained: "This is the bell on the top of the front mountain, although it can be heard, but it is far away. That's it in the mountains. ”

Ringing the bell meant twelve o'clock, Xia Ge looked at the two apprentices, both of them were tired.

Obviously, I'm tired and a little distressed. He said, "Let's stop and have a bite to eat." ”

"I'll eat some beef jerky and bread on the road today, and then have a good rest when I get to the place. Xia Ge said.

A few people began to eat, but the Niu Taoist didn't bring anything, and Xia Ge threw him a bread and beef jerky.

There are no taboos for the cow Taoist, and he will eat it when he opens it.

Only after chatting did I know that their faction can basically do anything, and Niu Taoist has children and daughters-in-law at the foot of the mountain. Going up the mountain to receive tourists during the day is actually the same as going to work.

"Brother Niu, how did you and my master meet?" Xia Ge said curiously.

In fact, he didn't understand why the master chose this place to live in seclusion in the end, whether it had something to do with the Quanzhen sect or other Taoist sects.

Speaking of Zhang Qingfeng's handwritten experience for him at the beginning, he also mentioned that when he was young, he was obsessed with the mountains and rivers and wanted to experience the state of unity between heaven and man.

Living by the waterfall, maybe it is in Qingcheng Mountain.

The master is from Sichuan Province, this is very likely.

"Hehe, your master is a man of God, he has an old relationship with the master, and he has saved my life before. I should have been terminally ill back then, but your master showed me and gave me a few massages. Your faction is really powerful. The cow priest leaned against the trunk of the tree and recalled with his eyes closed.

"Well, the master's medical skills are quite powerful. Xia Ge replied.

He wanted to inquire about anything else, but there didn't seem to be much to ask.

The master has lived for so long, I'm afraid he knows many people here. This is the reason why I chose to live in seclusion in the mountains behind Qingcheng Mountain.

Maybe the master also wants to seek a breakthrough this time, and if he can break through, maybe his body will get better.

"Brother Niu, do you know which Taoist priest my master is there this time, can you tell me about this Taoist priest?" Xia Ge asked again.

After resting and having nothing to do, Xia Ge began to ask again.

When I used to travel here and heard the stories of those masters in the back mountain, Xia Ge was very curious.

This time it's just the right time to listen to the gossip.

"And the Taoist priest in the back mountain heard that he can read the hexagram, is there really a master?"

Daoist Niu really nodded and said, "This one is really there." Even in the temple of the front mountain, there are also high people. But most people won't show him. ”

For the things handed down by his ancestors, Xia Ge retains his awe. He looked at Daoist Niu expectantly.

"The place where your master went is called Hulu Cave, and you have to walk four or five more hills, which is almost the center of the forest. There used to be an old Taoist priest who was more than 100 years old. Or maybe it's an old monk, I met once many years ago. It's been more than 20 years. Daoist Niu thought for a while and said.

Hearing that it was another old man who was more than a hundred years old, Xia Ge suddenly came to his senses.

These old men must know about the lizardmen.

However, it is not certain that the lizardmen may be more active abroad.

"Has that old man always lived in the mountains?" asked Xia Ge.

"Yes, this old man is special. As far as I know. He doesn't go out to buy money, rice, oil and salt, he relies on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, a very primitive way of life. ”

"I remember that your master was also in retreat in the mountains at that time, and I met him because I used to bring rice to your master. Your master can't live like him. We all call him the Gourd Immortal. The master said that he was a very amazing man, and that we should not disturb him. Niu Taoist said.

Two old men, living in a cave. The master is more normal, he goes out of the mountains to marry a wife and have children, and the other stays in the mountains completely.

Xia Ge was actually curious about what they thought.

However, it was written in the master's notes that cultivation pursues the unity of heaven and man, so we must be close to nature.

But Xia Ge has now proved that in fact, spiritual power has little to do with those.

On the contrary, some breathing methods and movements can generate mental power.

Let's tell them the news this time, Xia Ge thought to himself.

After the rest, the group set off again.

It wasn't until it was almost dark that everyone finally saw a cliff, and there was a waterfall flowing in the distance, Xia Ge suddenly felt that the place where the master wrote about his young cultivation was here.

I remember that when the master wrote it, he also sought to be washed by a waterfall, and now he is practicing in a waterhole.

really took a lot of detours, and I don't know how he comprehended the spiritual power.

There was a fire in the distance, and Daoist Niu stretched out his hand to stop everyone and said, "Don't go, let's camp here." Xia Ge, you go to see your master alone, and the gourd immortals don't like to be disturbed. ”

"Uh. Xia Ge looked at the two aggrieved girls, and then at the bodyguards with expressionless faces.

They had discussed it before they came, maybe there was a house in the place where the master lived in seclusion.

When I see the master, I have a place to live and hot food to eat.

As a result, everything is a little different from what I imagined.
