I saw that the fog in front of me was dispersed, and the blue sky was as clear as washing, and it was suddenly displayed in front of my eyes. A fresh and beautiful mountain peak, floating in the endless sea of clouds around it, looks more like a huge fairy island. At the summit of the mountain, a shallow valley is recessed in plain white, dividing this tall mountain into two peaks, like two humps tightly connected to the huge camel's body, which is both separate and integrated.

"It's so beautiful!" Li Bingtong couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is the 'Ethereal Peak' of the world's legends, and the Qingyang Mountain Range ranks first in the 'Top Ten Wonders'. But my disciples of the Qingyang School prefer to call it another name - 'Taiji Island', because it is formed by the two peaks of one yin and one yang, surrounded by a vast sea of clouds, like a chaotic heaven and earth, and the two peaks in the middle are opposed, just like the first birth of Taiji. Liang Qingshan proudly introduced to him.

Li Bingtong listened to him, and then looked carefully, only to see the steep mountain peaks in the distance, the gentle slopes nearby, the mountains are full of beautiful trees, strange flowers are enchanting, colorful phoenixes are flying, and the golden monkeys are chasing the play. Under the top of the right side, see the Cui Wadan wall in the distance, the bucket arch cornice, the white jade carved railing, the stone piercing the blue, looming between the pine and cypress. On the top of the left side, the bluestone is steep, a waterfall, from the stone gap between the rock crevices to fly straight down, the clear stream pours snow, zigzags into the depths of the flowers and trees, spreads on the gentle grass nearby, leads the white crane to the ground, the bird flies down. In the middle of the two peaks, a six-foot-wide crystal white staircase, from the peak of the valley of a piece of Dan wall green tiles fluttered out, under the arch of the white jade railing on both sides, like a ladder of heaven and fall, stretched to their feet, and like a silver-white Taoist scroll, I don't know if there are 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching? And the waterfall in the middle, often in the steepest and most dangerous place of the ladder stone steps, interspersed with loops, the river is endless, the long scroll-like ladder is flat and floats slowly, the good is like water, willing to be soft and soft, is it silently guarding this wordless scroll of a hundred zhang?

Li Bingtong stepped on the crystal white steps that I didn't know what jade and stone it was, followed behind Liang Qingshan, climbed the steps, and looked ahead, there were two thousand-year-old pines in the distance, and a white archway-style stone gate with four wings and three rooms between the two ancient trees.

Gradually approaching, after a while, I came to the door of the stone workshop. I saw that the square is three zhang high, four pillars and three gates, and there are six green bamboo fence gates under it, which have been opened to the inside at this moment, as if welcoming relatives and guests from all directions. Three white stone foreheads are carved with flame beads, carved with ribbon flower-shaped dark patterns on the top, and on the forehead in the middle, there are three golden characters of "Taiji Gate". On the four round stone pillars, the auspicious clouds are embellished in the middle, and there are four cranes of different forms standing at the top, and the stone drum under the pillar is clamped, steady and dignified.

When the two of them entered the "Taiji Gate", Li Qingtong saw an extremely wide and huge square square. The whole square is still paved with white jade, spreading out to the surrounding sides, and the surrounding peaks and slopes are naturally connected with the turquoise, which is coincidentally integrated, and the four are boundless. There are four white jade pillars six zhang high on each side of the square, a total of 4416, and the pillars are carved with patterns such as turtles, cranes, pines and bamboos. In the center of the square, there is a translucent light green jade pillar with a height of nine zhang and a diameter of three feet, there is a jasper hollow ball with a diameter of six feet at the top of the big column, and four big "Dao" characters are engraved on the surface of the ball in four directions, front and back, left and right, tall and magnificent, like a high tower lamp, dissipating the light of wisdom in all directions; In front of the Qingyu pillar, I saw ten rows of white-clothed Qingyang Sect disciples, about one hundred and fifty or sixty people, standing neatly in the center of the square, under the leadership of a white-clothed disciple in front, holding a long sword in their hands, as if they were practicing some formation.

"What a big square!"

Li Bingtong was amazed again, only to feel that the sky was high and wide, the Tao was in the sky, and people seemed small here, but the phalanx composed of four rows of disciples was extraordinary, leaning up to the sky and grounding down, giving this huge square infinite vitality.

"This is the 'Four Great Plazas'! Also called the 'Four Great Fields'! Of course, you can feel that it is big! These junior brothers and sisters are conducting the annual swordsmanship assessment drill. Liang Qingshan said with a smile.

The two continued to climb with their heads held high, and saw a long red palace wall looming on the peak of the green onion cage. In the middle of the palace wall, above the ladder, a tall arch shaped like a city gate gradually appeared in the field of vision. People get closer and closer, the long blue tile red wall is also more and more clear, in front of the ladder is concave into a crescent-like semi-circular arc, strong as the palace entrance; a tall palace gate with eaves and arches, wearing a green glazed tile palace top, stepping down on the nine white marble steps, impressively open on this sunken palace entrance, the door forehead is engraved with three golden characters: "Ceres Palace". In front of the palace gate, there is a curved blue water flowing out obliquely from under the red palace wall on the right, bending around the arch like a crescent moon, convex outward into a semi-circular arc, and then slowly flowing into the palace wall on the left, and the concave palace gate to form a circle. On both sides of the semi-ring clear water, there is a slightly dwarf arch leading to the inside, forming a three-entry palace. A long white marble arch bridge, across the water, straight to the middle of the "Ceres" palace gate "Ceresmen". There are three thousand-year-old pines growing outside the "Ceres Gate", the two giant pines on both sides of the inner end of the arch bridge are like two goalkeepers of the green cage, and the one on the right side of the outer end of the arch bridge reminds him of a towering pine green flag.

The two stepped onto the semicircular platform with three doors and stood at the water's edge at the bridge. The surface of the water is not very wide, but it is not less than six feet. The water is turbulent, two thousand-year-old green-haired water turtles bigger than the millstone are playing on the water surface, the splashed water droplets are as clear as crystal, but the water under the bridge is as green as jade, bottomless.

"Be careful! This is as good as water, and there is no bottom in the depth. These two big turtles have a lifespan of at least three to five thousand years, and they are the two divine turtles who participated in the battle between the water god and the fire god Zhurong in the past. After the success of King Yu's water control, he was afraid of the divine power of King Yu, he had dedicated a map to the River of King Yu, Luoshui offered a book, after the death of King Yu, they lost control of their malignancy, and made harm everywhere, and then came to the north side of the river to run rampant, three hundred years ago by the ancestor Qingyang Zhenren subdued here, immersed in this good water, to its irritability, quiet its mind, now three hundred years have passed, only to gradually wash away the demonic nature, revealing the true and kind heart of this child. Therefore, don't look at them playing like children now, but if they are detached from this kind of water, they will have a demonic relapse, and once they are angry, they can spit clouds and mist, pour mountains and seas, destroy cities and land, and be extremely fierce. Liang Qingshan explained for him.

The two climbed nine steps and finally stepped up the high "Ceresgate" and entered a square square surrounded by green tiles and red walls.

The square is 30 zhang wide and 40 zhang deep, and the white marble is paved with white marble, open and bright. On the left and right side walls, there is a single eaves side hall respectively, the right side hall is called "Qingxu Palace", which is the temporary resting place of outsiders when major Taoist activities are held, and the name is the same as the "Qingxu Garden" outside the right wall; At the end of the square, in the middle stands a magnificent hall, which is the "Ceres".

I saw that this "Grain Temple" sits high on the stone carved pedestal of three layers of white marble, and each pedestal has nine steps to take steps, raising the main hall more than two zhang, and the railing is surrounded by pattern carving. Under the railing, there is a stone carved faucet for drainage, and in the rainy season, it can present the wonder of a thousand dragons spitting water. On the broad platform in front of the hall, a pair of copper turtles and copper cranes are furnished, and there are nine copper tripod incense burners, but the cigarette smoke is curling, and the smoke is burning.

The main hall is nine rooms wide, nine ridges of heavy eaves, red bricks of blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent and magnificent. There is a corridor all around, there are nine auspicious beasts at the top of the ridge, and the top eaves are as high as one person. Under the front eaves is ten embossed carved terrazzo stone pillars, the column is two zhang high, the diameter is two and a half feet, each pillar has two phoenixes to fly, coiled and soared, there is a round sun, take the meaning of Danfeng Chaoyang, carve the pearl in the middle, four around the cloud flame, decorate the lotus stone seat. From the bottom to the top of all the carvings are profound, the phoenix bird soars, the demeanor is different, look at it from afar, the phoenix hovers and flies in the auspicious clouds, there is a sense of fairy music fluttering.

The two came to the main hall, which enshrined the gods of the ancestors of the three Daozhen Kung Fu of Tsing Yi Dao Zun, Red Dao Zun and Huayi Dao Zun. There were five large rosewood chairs in front of the statue, but only three of them sat on them, and the large chairs at both ends were empty. On both sides of the hall, there are rows of young disciples dressed in white, with fifteen or six people in each row, all standing upright in the hall, like two rows of white crane fairies, quietly listening to the teachings of the masters.

Li Bingtong recognized that the one on the right was Mr. Yibo, but now he should be called the Taoist of Yunzhongzi, today he was dressed in a rigorous pine green robe, his black hair was tied into a high Taoist bun, his black eyes were shining with a penetrating aura, the long stiff beard under his nose spread the heroic spirit and domineering spirit of a cat and a tiger, and a thin short beard on his chin was still like a stain. The one in the middle he guessed should be the well-known master Xuanjizi, the head of the Qingyang faction, only to see that he was dressed in a dark green robe, and he also had a black hair bun on his head, his face was white and yellowish, his eyes were deep and clear, his beard was like ink, and he had a fairy style. The young woman on the left, although Li Bingtong couldn't tell her age, but seeing that she was so young and beautiful, he should call her a Daoist fairy! I saw that her beautiful green dress was dotted with countless small white flowers, her hair was knotted with fairy buns, her jade eyes were majestic, her face was beautiful, and her demeanor was graceful.

"Disciple Liang Qingshan, return with Li Bingtong, the son of Li in Nai He City!
