Taixu Gate, one of the oldest immortal gates in the Tianyuan Great World. It was established by a great power of heaven and earth in the endless years, and everyone in the door respected him as the Taixu Daoist.

Legend has it that when the Taixu Taoist founded the sect, he pointed to the sky and made a grand wish: one wished for peace and Chang'an, two wished for the lights to shine forever, three wished for the heart of the Tao to last forever, four wished for the universe to be eternal, five wished for the Tao to be true, and six wished for all beings to live forever.

The six disciples of Taixu Daoist uphold their wishes, respectively, set up the six peaks of the Fa, Fengqi, Yuqing, Mofu, Danqiu, and Zhongding, and each peak has its own six halls of Chang'an, Changming, Changcun, Changqing, Changzhen, and Changsheng.

It is said that after the Taixu Taoist issued the six great wishes, he still had words and issued the seventh grand wish, but at this time there were no disciples who could accept his wish, so the seventh vow was not passed on. Of course, this is just a rumor, and some people say that the Taixu Daoist did not make a last wish at all. So far, this unwarranted seventh grand wish has become an eternal mystery in the Taixu Gate, and it has not yet been determined.

Huang Chen stepped into the Heavenly Gate, and after a dazzling burst of bright light, he found that he had not entered the Heavenly Star Taixu City as he had imagined, nor had he obtained any supreme Dao Sutra, but had only come to a mountain, a mountain that looked inconspicuous.

The scenery of this mountain peak is far from that of the Heavenly Star Taixu City, and there is only a dilapidated hall on top of the huge peak, and the outside of the hall is full of unknown strange flowers and plants.

The eighteen windows around the main hall have been broken, none of them are intact, and the cobwebs on them are dense, and through the window holes, it can be vaguely seen that the portraits enshrined in it are also full of dust, and they are slanted to the ground at will, and the plaque on the main hall is even more crumbling because of its age.

Huang Chen looked at the tragic scene that came into view, and had a bad feeling in his heart, and said secretly: "This will not be ...... Dao Xufeng. ”

Before Huang Chen could come back to his senses, he saw the rotten wooden door outside the main hall creaking, and a familiar sound came into his ears.

"My good apprentice, don't come in yet and let the teacher take a good look. ”

Huang Chen walked into the main hall in response, and at a glance saw the mountain keeper sitting wantonly on the head of the portrait, with a wicked smile on his face, gnawing on an unknown fruit and looking at himself, the novel eyes were indescribable, as if Huang Chen at this moment was a girl who stripped off her clothes and shook off the spring light.

"Why am I here, according to what Wang Yuan said, those who enter the Heavenly Gate should enter the Heavenly Star Taixu City, and I should be in the Taixu City at this moment. ”

Huang Chen is now full of doubts, after all, Huang Chen continued to climb the mountain for the sake of the Dao Sutra in the Six Strange Stones, and now that he doesn't say that the Dao Sutra flies, even the mountain gate that entered the other peaks has long disappeared without a trace.

"Little guy, Taixu City, what's so good about that ghost place, it's nothing more than that there are more people, more houses, and sometimes you can listen to the tattered bells, except for these, where is our Lingyin Mountain good. I believe you have also seen it, our Lingyin mountains and rivers are beautiful, the people are outstanding, the flowers are good, the birds are good, and the people are better!"

The mountain keeper heard Huang Chen's disgust, but he was not displeased, but instead put one foot on the figure and said slowly.

"This is still Lingyin Mountain?"

Huang Chen was a little confused all of a sudden, after all, the current appearance of this mountain had changed drastically from the previous trial.

"Yes, here is not only Lingyin but also Dao Void, and I am the palm peak of this Void Peak. The Lingyin Mountain you saw before was just a skin, and now it is the true face of this Lingyin Mountain. Don't be surprised, little one, after all, many times in this world, what you see is only what others want you to see, and the path you walk is only what others want you to take. ”

The mountain keeper suddenly looked unfathomable, as if there was something deep in his words, but he quickly returned to his original tone: "Yo Yo Yo, look at it, you just entered the door as a teacher and handed you such an esoteric truth, if you enter the other peaks, where will you meet such a good master like me who cultivates you wholeheartedly, don't you say?"

The mountain keeper grinned, bit down a big mouthful of fruit again, chewed it vigorously, and the juice flowed for a while, only to see the long sleeves of the mountain keeper Taoist robe rolled, and he directly wiped the corners of his mouth with a black dirty Taoist robe, and his movements were wild and uninhibited, which was very different from those transcendent and otherworldly cultivators in Huang Chen's impression.

Seeing this, Huang Chen could only smile bitterly and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes." ”

"Hmm, you kid always stares at my fruit, you can say it if you want to eat it, I won't give it to you, come on, eat this fruit, we will be two masters and apprentices who love each other from now on." ”

The mountain keeper walked to Huang Chen's side with a small step, and hung one hand on Huang Chen's shoulder, although it was close at hand, Huang Chen was stunned that he didn't see the movements of the mountain keeper clearly, and secretly sighed in his heart that this mountain keeper was so fast.

Before Huang Chen could come back to his senses, the mountain keeper had already handed the fruit to Huang Chen's mouth.

Seeing that there was still a lot of saliva on the fruit, Huang Chen unconsciously frowned and sighed: "This fruit is ......."

"What, you stinky boy, do you want the old man to skin you?"

Seeing that Huang Chen had not moved for a long time, the mountain keeper shouted in a low voice, and the scene became extremely embarrassing at this time.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it was just a moment, but for Huang Chen, it seemed like it had been ten thousand years, the mountain keeper let go of his hand, and said lightly: "Boy, you are also from Zangsheng Village?"

Huang Chen heard the word Zangsheng, thought for a moment, and nodded. If the mountain keeper can ask this, he must know something, and Huang Chen has no need to hide it.

"There is an old man waiting for you outside the door, you can go. ”

The mountain keeper pointed to the door and said.

"Tibetan people?"

Huang Chen knew who was coming in an instant, and immediately walked out of the main hall.

It's just that when he was about to go out, he said, 'I'll keep this fruit for you!' made Huang Chen shudder.

Huang Chen walked all the way, and his steps were a little urgent.

Who else could this old man be?

One of the people who is still alive in Zangsheng Village is Huang Chen, and the other is Bai Lian.

Huang Chen walked out of the main hall, and now it was almost dusk, and there were already a few stars shining in the sky.

And not far away, a woman in white floated out of the dust, standing on a nearby lonely peak, with her back to Huang Chen, looking at the north, this woman was Bai Lian who had not been seen for many years.

There is a ravine between the two, Huang Chen saw Bai Lian, his heart was mixed, he walked to the edge of the cliff and was about to speak, but a cold word came out of Bai Lian's mouth first: "Huang Chen, long time no see." ”

"Huang Chen?"

Huang Chen had a strange emotion in his heart, and this call suddenly shortened the distance between the two of them a lot.

When Bai Lian turned around, Huang Chen was even more shocked and speechless, not because Bai Lian was shocked by the face of a celestial man and fell overwhelmed, but because Huang Chen found that Bai Lian was more and more similar to the woman in the painting of Zangsheng Village, and her eyes were getting colder and colder, and it was also at this moment that Huang Chen realized that the distance between himself and Bai Lian was not only the ravine in front of him?

Huang Chen sorted out his thoughts and looked at Bai Lian and said, "Li'er, Zangsheng Village has been ......"

"I already know everything that happened in Zangsheng Village, so you don't have to say it anymore. ”

Bai Lian interrupted Huang Chen's words, and said lightly: "Three years have passed, why are you still so weak? Maybe it's because of your weakness that Zangsheng Village will fall so quickly." ”

Bai Lian said coldly, never with any feelings, and there was no trace of sadness when talking about the demise of Zangsheng Village, as if he was telling a trivial matter as an outsider.

"Li'er, why haven't you seen you for so many years, and you have become so indifferent?"

Huang Chen had a question, the temperament of Bai Lian today is not at all different from the Bai Lian he knows, and finally he couldn't bear it, and took a step to "chase the stars and step on the moon", wanting to cross the ravine and ask what happened.

"That's what you've learned for three years?"

Bai Lian shook his head, and with a casual blow, he knocked Huang Chen back.

Huang Chen directly spat out three mouthfuls of blood from this thick blow, and one staggered back into the distance.

Fortunately, Bai Lian left room and did not strike ruthlessly, and this blow did not hurt Huang Chen's bones.

"Huang Chen, you are still as weak as ever. ”

Bai Lian sighed softly, looked up at the northern sky again, turned to leave, and hummed the ballad of all beings: "If the past and the future are all in the present, if the cause always follows the cause, then where will you get this free will? If life and destruction are all in the cycle of reincarnation, if fate will always go with fate, then where will you get the power of eternal life? Then how will you get the shackles of this fate......

Huang Chen had an ominous premonition, stood up from the spot with difficulty, stroked the wound and asked, "Wait, are you leaving the Taixu Gate?"

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Bai Lian is so abnormal now, something must happen, Huang Chen couldn't help asking.

Bai Lian didn't answer directly, but said: "Every person in the Tibetan village will turn into a star and return to their homeland after death. ”

Huang Chen was silent, and then asked, "Then when will we be able to meet again?"

"Wait until you can take my blow!"

After Bai Lian finished answering, he continued to hum the ballad of all beings, and floated away like a fairy.

Is it dazzling? When Bai Lian left, the stars that had been shining also became dim.

"That's the power of your blow?"

Huang Chen watched Bai Lian leave, and finally fell to the ground due to exhaustion.

I don't know how long Huang Chen slept, and when he woke up again, he was already in a dilapidated house, after repeated trials and tests, Huang Chen's spiritual body had already reached the limit, and this sleep made Huang Chen recover very well.

Seeing Huang Chen wake up, the mountain guards who were waiting on the side couldn't wait to come forward and quipped: "You just shouted Bai Lian's name seventeen times in your dream. ”

Huang Chen didn't speak, and the mountain keeper seemed to know the crux of Huang Chen's silence, and then said: "Covering the stars and closing the moon is just a little Dao'er! You are my disciple, and you will not stop this in the future." ”

"The master is above, please accept the disciple's worship. ”

Before the mountain keeper finished speaking, Huang Chen broke his silence and knelt down in front of the mountain keeper and said.

The mountain keeper was shocked by Huang Chen's move, and hurriedly helped Huang Chen up and said, "Sure enough, it is very difficult for you people in Zangsheng Village! ”

"That fruit!?"

Huang Chen exclaimed.
