Chapter 7 Lingshan Apprenticeship

Sun Xiaokong traveled all the way and finally came to Lingshan. In order to avoid finding the wrong place again, Xiaokong specially asked the local people.

Sun Xiaokong saw a tavern on the side of the road, and he remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day, so he decided to have some food here and inquire about the situation.

Xiaokong simply asked for two dishes, and by the way, he inquired with the tavern shopkeeper:

"Tired shopkeeper, is this Lingshan?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, this is Lingshan." ”

"Is this the spiritual mountain where Patriarch Bodhi cultivated?"

"yes, yes, this is it. ”

Sun Xiaokong was relieved at this time, thinking that he would not be wrong again this time. So he then asked:

"Do you know Patriarch Bodhi?"

"I know, I know, if you want to say that Patriarch Bodhi, he is known to everyone here, how can he not know. ”

Xiaokong asked, "Do you know where Patriarch Bodhi lives?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Xiaokong and said, "Young man, do you have anything to do with the ancestor, everyone knows that the ancestor lives in Fangcun Mountain, Lingshan!"

So Xiaokong explained the reason to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper listened and said: "Lingshan Fangcun Mountain is easy to find, but you don't know if the ancestor will accept it or not, you can try it." So he pointed out the direction to Xiaokong.

Xiaokong thanked the shopkeeper and went straight to Fangcun Mountain.

It turns out that this Lingshan is a big mountain with a radius of dozens of miles, and there are many small mountains under Lingshan, and this Fangcun Mountain is a branch vein under Lingshan. Patriarch Bodhi lives in this square inch mountain. Fangcun Mountain is not far from here, only five or six miles away, and then over a hill in front of it.

Xiao Kong thought that he was about to meet Bodhi Patriarch, and his heart was extremely happy, and he couldn't help but speed up his steps.

Not long after, Sun Xiaokong had already arrived at Fangcun Mountain. He raised his eyes and looked, it was a very high mountain, and he saw that this mountain was full of strange peaks and strange rocks, ancient trees stood everywhere, and the top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and from time to time he could see the cranes flying here. Xiao Hollow thought to himself, it was indeed a place where the master lived, and it was indeed extraordinary.

Sora reached the foot of the mountain and walked up a stone staircase, enjoying the scenery as he went. But as he walked, he couldn't go on, because a three-way road appeared in front of him, and he didn't know which way to go.

While Xiaokong was hesitating, he saw a porter coming up from the mountain, so he went up to inquire. The porter showed him the way, so Sun Xiaokong continued to walk towards the mountain.

But before he could get out of the two miles, there was another three-way intersection in front of him. The three trails at the intersection pointed to three different peaks, and Xiaokong hesitated again, standing in place and muttering. He originally wanted to use the flying technique to fly up directly, but he had heard that the apprentice should be sincere, and he was worried that this would be disrespectful to the ancestor, and he did not dare to get an axe in front of the ancestor, so he walked all the way up the mountain.

At this time, he found a middle-aged woman picking tea leaves in the mountains, so he hurriedly asked the woman about the road conditions. The middle-aged woman asked where he was going and showed him the way.

Xiaokong thanked the woman and continued to walk towards the mountain, which was already close to the top of the mountain, and could already faintly see a Taoist temple on the mountain.

Sora quickened his pace, and it didn't take long for him to reach the top of the mountain. He stood here and looked down, and saw that the mountains were already at his feet, and the distant mountains were undulating, like a group of elephants dancing, so not spectacular. Looking up again, you can see that a clear Taoist temple has appeared in front of you.

Xiao Hollow felt a burst of joy in his heart and strode forward. But suddenly, he was stunned by what he saw. I saw a huge gossip array in front of him blocking his way, this gossip array is about the size of a half-mile road, the gossip array contains organs, the two sides of the gossip array are thousands of cliffs, there is no road to pass, if you want to reach the Taoist temple above, you must pass through this gossip array.

Xiaokong carefully looked at this gossip array, only to see that this gossip array is composed of eight outlets, namely Kun, Gen, Kan, Zhen, Xun, Li, Dui, Qian, eight exits, each extending inward, forming eight short tracks, the eight short tracks are connected to the inner gossip inside, the inner gossip is actually a big pool of eight trigrams, but this pool is not water, but mercury, people fall down either death or injury.

In the center of the gossip is two yin and yang fish, the yin and yang fish rotate differently, the center of each yin and yang fish is yin and yang two fish eyes, the fish eyes from time to time spew flames and mercury, Xiaokong looked closely, it turns out that the two fish eyes will be sprayed once every other blink of an eye, among which the yang fish fish eye sprays a flame every other intermittent room, and the yin fish fish eye sprays mercury every other intermittent.

If you want to pass through this Bagua Array, you can't break through, if you do, you will definitely be injured by Pisces, you can only find the right passage and pass through Pisces in the shortest possible time. In other words, this is not only a test of the intelligence of the intruder, but also a test of the ability of the intruder.

Sun Xiaokong observed for a long time and finally saw the doorway, it turned out that this gossip array was divided into the door of life and the door of death, if you enter from the door of life, if you cooperate with the speed, you can break through the formation, if you mistakenly enter the door of death, you will be injured by Pisces. However, only one of these eight directions is the Gate of Life, and the remaining seven are the Gate of Death.

Sun Xiaokong checked his position, he came from the bottom of the mountain, and now he is in the position of the hexagram, and the position of the Taoist temple is in the hexagram, if the hexagram wants to lead to the hexagram, it needs to go through the Qiangua to the Zhen hexagram, and then from the Zhen hexagram to the separation hexagram, so that it is a complete set of life channels.

Sun Xiaokong saw through the route, and he already had the bottom in his heart, he only needed to break into the passage now and pass in the shortest possible time.

Xiao Kong twisted his body a few times, activated the meridians of his body, held his breath, closed his eyes slightly, and secretly mobilized his internal force to prepare for the battle. Suddenly, time seemed to stand still, and there was a dead silence all around. Xiao Kong had already used enough internal strength, and suddenly his eyes opened, and his eyes burst out with a determined and confident light, he let out a loud shout, and his body entered the passage quickly, and then passed through the Bagua Array with lightning from Kan to Qian, from Qianzhi to Zhen, and from Zhen to Li.

After the Bagua Array, he carefully checked his body and found no traces of dripping mercury and fire, so he firmly believed that he had passed the Bagua Array safely.

Sun Xiaokong broke through the gossip array, has arrived at the front of the view, he looked at this view, only to see that this temple is located on a flat ground on the top of this mountain, the front of the view and the left and right are covered with wild flowers everywhere, there are flocks of cranes flying around the view from time to time near the view, and the top of the temple is full of green smoke. The architectural style of this view is simple and majestic, simple and solemn, and people have smelled the fragrance of incense in front of the view.

Xiao Kong thought to himself, this is really a place where the gods live.

Xiaokong looked at the sky, it was sunset, and the gate was closed.

Sun Xiaokong lightly clicked the door a few times, "Knock," "Knock,"

No one inside responded.

He lightly tapped the door a few more times, "knock," "knock," "knock." ”

After a while, I heard a voice from inside: "Who?"

Xiao Kong replied softly, "It's me, Dao Chief, please open the door." ”

After a while, the door squeaked open, and half of his body leaned out of it, a young Taoist boy.

Xiaokong hurriedly went up to give a salute and said, "I have come thousands of miles away, just to ask to see the Taoist Guiguan, now that it is getting late, I beg the Taoist to take me in for one night." ”

Sun Xiaokong spoke more politely, he was afraid that he would offend the patriarch because of his rudeness, so he refused to leave the gate and did not accept himself as an apprentice.

Dao Tong said, "Wait a minute, and wait for me to report to the top." With that, he closed the door.

Xiaokong waited for some more time, and after a while, the door opened again, and it was still the same Taoist boy just now. Daotong said, "Please come with me." So he was introduced into the contemplation.
