On the second day, it was very bright.

Li Yan and the three of them packed everything and prepared to go.

Adjutant Zhao didn't sleep all night, but he still came to see him off, asked people to find a carriage, and sent Li Yan and the three of them to the car.

accompanied by the little Taoist priest Gu Sheng.

After this guy reported yesterday, he didn't know where he went, and he only appeared in front of the residence early this morning.

A few people got into the carriage, staggered, and set off.

Along the way, the ancient god was there, meditating cross-legged, but he didn't speak.

Wencai and Qiusheng, it is difficult to go far away, they are excited, they talk a lot, and they have been chattering.

After Li Yan chatted with them for a few words, he was also a little tired, so he simply didn't speak.

……

Maoshan is a vein, which is divided into South Mao and North Mao.

Beimao was founded at the earliest, as early as the beginning of Zhang Daoling's Zhang Tianshi's creation of the Heavenly Master's Dao, it existed.

However, at that time, Maoshan was subordinate to the Shangqing Sect under the Heavenly Master Dao, and did not exist as an independent sect.

It wasn't until later that a lot of things happened inside the Daomen, and it was divided and merged, and finally Maoshan became completely independent.

As for Nanmao, it was created by Ge Hong, that is, the old guy who left a nine-character mantra.

This guy is a ghost, he was an official in his early years, a good hand at learning Confucianism, he was familiar with all kinds of Confucian doctrines at a young age, he was talented, and later entered the medical Tao.

Over time, this guy found that learning the Tao is really enjoyable, several theories of the five elements of yin and yang, one can play for several days, enough to burn the brain, plus he is extremely talented, and often refines some small pills.

Later, after entering the Daomen, he completely hid into the mountains and concentrated on alchemy.

Therefore, when it comes to Dan Dao, Ge Hong can definitely be regarded as an old ancestor, and his cultivation achievements are probably not under Zhang Tianshi.

Quanzhen is in the same vein, although he is known as a Dan cultivator, and he is a practitioner of both Dan inside and outside, but in comparison, it is not necessarily as high as Old Man Ge's original achievements.

Zhang Daoling Zhang Tianshi was nesting in the mountain to make alchemy, and accidentally, he refined the Kuangshi Qi Dan, and the dragon and tiger appeared, so he called the mountain "Dragon and Tiger Mountain".

The emperor was shocked, he had been fighting with people for so long, he had never seen such a bull, what if he really called for wind and rain, and the chaos of the dynasty and the government?

The emperor Lao'er was afraid that Zhang Tianshi would do something, so he hurriedly canonized him, and as soon as he was called "Heavenly Master", he stayed in Zhang's house.

However, there are not many works on the pill left by Zhang Tianshi, and it is estimated that he hides and tucks them, and only keeps them for his children and grandchildren, and outsiders know very little.

But the old man Ge Hong is different, he left an amazing writing, which was widely disseminated, and he was copied by Dongying's little barbarian in the early days, and the nine-character mantra was also copied wrongly, and naturally the refining method of the pill was not copied clearly.

So later, this Dongying's Taoism is not indistinguishable, castrated so that it can no longer be castrated, and what kind of ninjutsu and other ghost things have been developed.

The influence of Nanmao Mountain, relatively speaking, is much greater than that of Beimao.

Especially after the Southern Song Dynasty, this is even more so.

In the early days, Beimao was almost able to compete with the existence of the Heavenly Master's Dao, and he also did big things, and he made a ranking of immortals back then, ranking the original Taishang Laojun to the back, and Yuan Shi Tianzun in the first place.

In fact, since ancient times, the Daomen have been respected by Taishang Laojun, and the so-called "Taishang Qihua Sanqing" is actually this meaning, Yuan Shi Tianzun put it bluntly, just one of the three Qings of Laojun.

But later, this gate was in chaos, Beimao wanted to consolidate his dominance, claimed to be the Dharma lineage of Yuan Shi Tianzun, united some Dacheng cultivators, repositioned and ordered, and made a "True Spirit Position Karma Map", which is said to have been done by the old man Tao Hongjing, and ranked Yuan Shi Tianzun first.

Although the chaos was set right later, a group of diehards who were deeply influenced by Beimao later always believed that Yuan Shi Tianzun should be compared to Taishang Laojun.

So later, similar to some folks, such as "Fengshen" and the like, all ranked Yuan Shi first.

The influence of Nanmao is wider among the people, and the folk teachings of the coastal generation have been affected.

Even Nanyang's head lowering technique, Miao Jiang Gu technique and other witchcraft, some of the principles of spell casting are also borrowed from Nanmao's theoretical system.

This also has a lot to do with the old man Ge Hong, who has written a lot of books, and he doesn't hide them anyway, everyone reads and learns together.

As a result, many people learn the four dissimilarities and slip away.

……

Along the way, it took seven or eight days.

Li Yan and others finally came to Beimao Mountain.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and said: "Daochang Li, I can only send you here, the main hall is at the top of the mountain, our outer disciples can't go up the mountain under normal circumstances, and the road behind you has to rely on you to go." ”

Li Yan's expression was solemn, he nodded, and said, "Thank you, Daoyou." ”

"You're welcome, after I go back, I will report to the master, hoping that the master can secretly help you." Gu Sheng said, gave a salute, and turned to leave.

Wencai and Qiusheng, at this moment, were a little panicked.

They have never been to Maoshan, and in their hearts, this place has always been a sacred and solemn place.

Looking at the palace towering into the sea of clouds, it was like a fairyland on earth, and the two of them were a little stunned in their hearts.

"Uncle Shi, let's go up directly?" Wen Cai asked timidly.

Li Yan smiled coldly and said, "I'm here, naturally I want to go up to pay a visit, I want to see why these old guys arrested my senior brother." ”

With that, lift your feet and go.

The mountain road is rugged and difficult, and the road is very secluded.

Although it was daylight, the mountains were gloomy, the trees blocked the sun, and it was a little humid along the way.

Li Yan and the three of them walked for about half an hour, and suddenly, a loud shout came out: "What person? ”

Immediately afterwards, I saw two small Taoist priests holding swords in the mountains and forests, suddenly appearing and blocking the way of the three of them.

Li Yan grinned, looked innocent, and said, "Two trail leaders, we are tourists who have come to travel, and we have lost our way in the mountains. ”

"Lost?"

One of the Taoist priests showed a suspicious look and glanced at Li Yan and the three of them.

On weekdays, there are also some tourists who come to Maoshan to worship and worship, which is a common thing.

However, at that time, the trend of tourism was not even higher than it is today, so even if there were tourists, the number of people per day was not large.

The little Taoist priest's face softened slightly, and said: "This is the road behind the mountain, it is a forbidden area, not open to the public, ordinary tourists, you need to go from another road, you are tourists, then go down the mountain, go east, there is still a road, there are more people." ”

Li Yan showed a look of embarrassment and said with a smile: "Xiaodao Chief, isn't it the same from which side of the mountain is this?" You see, we're halfway there, and if we go down the mountain, I'm afraid it's a bit unbearable......"

The little Taoist priest was suddenly a little displeased, and said: "This is different, this road can only be walked by people in our sect, besides, this mountain road is difficult to walk, you better change the road!" ”

"This ......" Li Yan glanced up, pointed with his hand, and said, "Where to go up, isn't it all to the top of the mountain?" ”

"Go up here, close to our sect's forbidden land, that place is not open to the public, if you want to worship God, go to the main hall in front." As he spoke, the little Taoist priest pointed at the long sword in his hand and said in a shocking voice: "The three of you please go down the mountain, if not, don't blame us for being polite." ”

Li Yan's smile slowly retracted, and he snorted coldly, and said: "That's the case, those two Dao Masters, don't blame me for being rude!" ”

As the words fell, his whole figure flashed forward.

The two little Taoist priests only saw a black shadow, which flashed over, and they were immediately startled, and hurriedly swung their swords out......

"Boom"

Li Yan's speed was extremely fast, and he suddenly came to their side, and with a flick of his fingertips, he instantly shook the long swords in the hands of the two Taoist priests.

"Who are you?"

The little Taoist priest was shocked.

Before they could finish speaking, Li Yan punched out two punches, and immediately hit the two little Taoist priests, knocking them out, falling heavily to the ground, and fainting.
