Huayin City, Shaanxi Province.

This is the place where Xiyue Huashan is located, and this mountain, once on par with Mount Tai, and even more important in some ways.

The name of Huashan Mountain first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Yu Gong", that is, the name of "Huashan" in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"Water Jing Weishui Note" contains: "Its height is 5,000 yuan, cut into four directions, looking at it from afar, and like a flower. "Ancient" flowers and "Hua" are universal, so "Huashan" is "Huashan".

"White Tiger Tongyi" contains: "The West is Huashan, less yin and things, and all things are blooming, so it is called Huashan." ”

Huashan is called "Xiyue" and Dongyue Taishan, which was first seen in the book "Erya Shishan". And this title is said to be because King Ping moved eastward, Huashan is in the west of the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, so it is called "Xiyue". The Qin Empire built the capital Xianyang, and the Western Han Empire built the capital Chang'an, both of which are in the west of Huashan, so Huashan is no longer called "Xiyue". Until the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huashan resumed the name of "Xiyue" and continues to use it today.

"Shujing, Yugong Chapter", "Shangshu" all contain Huashan as "the place where the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor will be immortals", and later generations speculate that the Yellow Emperor should be in alliance with the chiefs of various tribes here. Since then, Huashan's reputation has grown. Books such as "Shujing" and "Zizhi Tongjian" all record "Tang Yao's four patrols to Xiyue" and "Shun's three patrols to Xiyue". "Shun Dian" contains: (Emperor Shun) August West Patrol Hunting, as for Xiyue.

In ancient times, during the period of dynasties, with the Qin Dynasty as the precedent, Mount Tai is solemn and respected, but Mount Hua is also indispensable, the east and west two mountains, it can be said that the civilization of five thousand years up and down, is naturally equally important.

The weather is relatively hot now, Sun Changning came to Huashan, and after completing the task, he was ready to pack up, take his little lamb, and go directly to Longhu Mountain to prepare for the upcoming three martial arts.

Time waits for no one, so it's very short.

Because of the summer vacation, the flow of people on Huashan is very huge, as a very famous Taoist tourist attraction in the east of the country, it can be said that the incense on Huashan is very vigorous, and it is the place of worship of the Xiyue Emperor.

Zhenyue Palace, founded in the Tang Dynasty, has the praise of "ancient building for a thousand years, called the upper palace".

And this place is also the holy place of the Quanzhen sect in Taoism, which is the fourth cave heaven.

Sun Changning came here to visit the Taoist priest of Zhenyue Palace, and at the same time, he also came to find Xiang Yulang, of course, now there is a new purpose.

Walking into it, the clay sculpture of the Xiyue Emperor Shaohao in the main hall is majestic and majestic, Sun Changning raised his head and looked at the god of the clay sculpture, faintly, it seems to feel a little strange.

It seems that this god is really going down to earth, and has really been attached to this clay sculpture, this solemn feeling is incomparable, to the level of Hun Tian Jin, every move is no different from heaven and earth, the so-called touching heaven and man and incarnate sacred, Hun Tian is a whole, nature is the nearest nature.

"It's a bit weird, and it looks like there are a lot of masters here. ”

When he got here, he should indeed give three incense sticks to the Emperor Xiyue, but although Sun Changning is half a Taoist, he did not kneel down and kowtow, martial arts are born in heaven and earth, except for parents and teachers, even the Jade Emperor does not kneel in front of him.

Just standing here, standing on the edge of the futon, looking up at Xiyue Emperor Jun Shaohao, and beside Sun Changning, there was a girl kneeling.

She looked like she was only about twenty years old, and her youthful blood showed it, she put on three pillars of incense, closed her eyes reverently, and from her body, a sad emotion emanated.

When she opened her eyes, Sun Changning found that there was no sparkle in this girl's eyes, and her lips squirmed slightly, saying something.

Sun Changning heard it clearly, it was praying, telling his nostalgia to the deceased, and what made Sun Changning feel a little surprised was some of the information revealed in the other party's self-talk.

Her boyfriend once disappeared in Huashan, and later the police were dispatched to look for her, but they were not traced.

It's been three years since that started.

Three years ago, it happened to be the time when Sun Changning began to practice martial arts.

The girl whispered, the people on the side were a little noisy, so it was impossible for anyone to know her voice clearly, but Sun Changning was quite clear, and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

I always felt that this girl was a little unusual, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.

"By the way, someone is missing in Huashan, it won't have anything to do with Xiang Yulang, right?"

Sun Changning said to himself, but he didn't particularly care, because he immediately remembered that before Xiang Yulang met him, he had been in a daze at the Overlord Temple, as if he had been in a daze for more than ten years, that is to say, he had not come back for more than ten years, so the disappearance of someone in Huashan must have nothing to do with Xiang Yulang.

After all, no matter how strong this guy is, he is just a human, and he is not a god, this kind of black pot still can't be carried, after all, the size is wrong.

Sun Changning looked at the girl, at this time she had already stood up and gave way to the people behind her, and she and Sun Changning passed by, but she paused and turned her head to look at the clay statue of the Xiyue Emperor.

"God.... If you are omnipotent, and I have already offered you incense, why has there been no news for three years?"

The girl smiled distractedly, she seemed to be very tired, Sun Changning heard her voice, looked at her at this time, and suddenly said: "Maybe God really exists, and the missing person may not be dead." ”

The sudden interjection made the girl look at Sun Changning, but it was still that slightly dead look: "Do you know about the disappearance three years ago?"

Sun Changning shook his head: "No, I don't know, I heard from you." ”

The girl smiled, but with bitterness: "Is it ......?"

Sun Changning: "God needs incense, people also need to talk, can you tell me about what happened three years ago?"

The girl glanced at Sun Changning, smiled wordlessly, and shook her head.

"Why should I tell you....... I don't know you. ”

Sun Changning was silent, and the girl was also silent, and after staying for a while, she said slowly: "No, I won't come next year, I've been here every year for the past three years, but I won't come next year." ”

"The guy I'm waiting for won't come back, god, I'm twenty-two years old, and it's really ridiculous to think about these things that fool children. ”

She laughed suddenly, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and the girl wiped them away, and turned her head, as if she was ready to leave.

At this moment, an old Taoist priest suddenly came from outside the temple and bumped into this girl head-on.

She stumbled suddenly, and the whole person fell backwards, while Sun Changning moved and stretched out his hand to grab her.

"People come and go, and if you don't pay attention to what is under your feet and in front of you, you are likely to get injured, so be very careful. ”

The old Taoist priest has white hair, looks like he is eighty or ninety, has a pleasant face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and holds a scripture book in his arms.

His gaze moved, and he suddenly looked at Sun Changning and smiled.

"Layman, do you read the scriptures?"
