I don't know how long it took, but the eastern sky revealed the white of the fish's belly. The light was soft, and a red glow appeared in the sky, and the range of the red glow gradually expanded, covering the earth with a layer of red brocade. At this time, Zhang Qiang had already gotten up and stopped to look at the distance on the edge of the flying cliff, and for a long time, his thoughts were flying:

"In the past month, too many things have happened, first the death of Yuqing, the betrayal of his brother Liu Yan, and then I was lucky to meet my ancestor Zhang Sanfeng, who I have admired since I was a child, in Wudang Mountain, and inexplicably accepted Zhang Sanfeng's incarnation inheritance, and was also said to be one of the "five sons of heaven", these should have happened in film and television dramas and novels, but it happened to me inexplicably, can you really cultivate into an immortal in this world? I don't know what kind of strange things will happen when I go to the Qing Subtle Transformation Cave next, and what kind of ancestor incarnation will appear to pass on my thoughts, right?

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the Feisheng Cliff, Zhang Qiang got up and walked towards the "Tianyi Zhenqing Palace" in the distance

At this time, Zhang Qiang didn't know that there were a few old Taoist priests with white beards not far away who looked at him from afar, and when he walked away, one of them wore a gray Taoist robe and said: "After hundreds of years, someone has finally obtained the inheritance of the ancestor, and I will send a successor." And another old man wearing a yellow-clothed Taoist robe next to him snorted: "Heavenly Dao is unfair, the current Wudang Mountain, people only know that there is your Wudang faction with a true lineage, and I am a Qingwei faction with a lineage, when will there be someone who revives my faction." ”

"Come on, Xuanqing, your junior brother Xuanxu is the first person in Wudang Mountain in a hundred years, and you and I have a deep relationship between the patriarch Sanfeng and the ancestor of Shouqing, why should it be so clear whether it is true or Zhengyi?"

The old Taoist who was called Xuanqing said angrily: "Don't mention him to me, you will be angry when you mention it, the name of the ancestor is really far-sighted, this guy is nervous all day long, always playing tricks on the bottom of the mountain, and is chased and beaten by the donor under the mountain Alas, Xuanxu, Xuanxu, it is really not disgraced by the first teacher to give him this number, it is really unfortunate for the teacher, unfortunate for the master!." "If Zhang Qiang is here, I guess the first reaction is, is it the "magic stick" that you are talking about?

"Okay, okay, let's not mention him, let's see where that young man will go next, maybe he has a fate with my faction," Xuan Qing said. But he secretly sighed in his heart: "Alas, most of them are still from their Wudang Sanfeng faction." ”

One of the most prestigious buildings in Wudang Mountain is a stone hall called "Tianyi Zhenqing Palace". Legend has it that after Emperor Zhenwu cultivated and ascended to heaven, his residence in heaven was called "Tianyi Zhenqing Palace". Obviously, this stone hall was built by the believers in the human world for the Emperor Zhenwu.

According to historical records, Tianyi Zhenqing Palace was built in the Yuan Dynasty and was completed after more than 20 years. Its builder was named Zhang Shouqing. At the age of 30, he entered Wudang Mountain, led thousands of disciples, cultivated fields, and excavated cliff valleys, leaving this "wonder of the world" of Wudang for future generations. On the stone wall of Tianyi Zhenqing Palace, there are rows of iron cast gold statues, known as the five hundred spirit officials.

Come to Tianyi Zhenqing Palace, only to see that there is a relief cloud dragon stone beam in front of the hall, about 2 meters long, only more than 30 centimeters wide, volley stretches out of the column, a small incense burner is placed above the front end of the dragon head, commonly known as the dragon head incense, the dragon head is far away to the golden top of the Tianzhu peak. Placed here, look up, the precipice is skyscraper, the height is not the top, look down at the feet, the stream is thousands of feet, unfathomable, look at the golden top in the distance, the clouds are wrapped in fog, sometimes hidden and sometimes appear, just like the Qionglou Yuyu in the fairyland.

When he saw Zhang Qiang walking towards Tianyi Zhenqing Palace, Xuan Qing waved the dust lightly and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoists, the poor Dao is one step ahead, maybe this son has a fate with our faction." Then a few dodges vanished. Leaving two old Taoists in gray Taoist robes, they smiled at each other and said, "This is the master of a faction, almost the same as his junior brother." Haha" Fortunately, at this time, the sky is just dawning, and the Taoist tourists in the past are relatively rare, otherwise it will cause a sensation, and the world will definitely think that this is a peerless light skill or immortal method." (Of course, this is off-topic.) ）

When Zhang Qiang came to the five hundred spirit officials of Tianyi Zhenqing Palace, the spiritual thoughts in a certain place in the depths of his mind resonated, and his body inadvertently emitted a faint clear light, but all this was seen by the Xuanqing Daoist who had already arrived. When he was about to meet him, he was stopped by an old Taoist and signaled not to go out to meet him first. If Zhang Qiang sees this person, he can recognize this person at a glance. That's right, this person is the nervous old Taoist that Zhang Qiang saw at the bottom of the mountain.

Unconsciously, it was already evening, and Zhang Qiang saw that the tourists were gradually becoming scarce, and began to walk towards the back mountain of Tianyi Zhenqing Palace. At this time, Zhang Qiang didn't know that there were two old Taoists faintly behind him

"Senior brother in charge, he is the one who has obtained the inheritance of the patriarch of Sanfeng, I still have a relationship with him under the mountain, looking at the face of this son, maybe it is really one of the "five sons of heaven" in the mouth of our patriarch. The last time I saw him, he was only in the stage of "building the foundation", and it was only a day, and he was already in the stage of "getting medicine", and I believe that it would not be long before he could really form a "golden pill". And I faintly saw the shadow of our Qingwei Gong in him, so I stopped you from coming forward to see him first, just to see if he is related to our faction. Xuanxu said.

"Well, that's reasonable, seeing him walking towards the back mountain, is he going to go to the ancient cave where I sent the patriarch to retreat before, maybe he can really enter that ancient cave. But even you didn't have a chance to get in, junior brother, I think he's still a bit mysterious. Okay, let's follow him first, and everything will be seen by him," Xuanqing said with his hand and beard.

"What the senior brother in charge said is extremely true. Xuan said with a smile. However, the clear and subtle hole in front, the nine palaces, the sixteen palaces in front, and the Bagua Liangyi array are all good, that is, the last "anti-five elements stone formation" must be the long-lost mental method of the door. Xuan Xuan continued.

"Could it be that he understands our sect's long-lost 'Qingwei Xuanmiao Mind Method'?" Xuanqing and Xuanxu said in surprise together.

"Well, look, I've quietly removed the Taoist guards near the ancient cave in the back mountain, let's see the illumination of this son." Xuan Qing stroked his beard and smiled.

Qing subtle cave, located in the half of the mountain behind the Tianyi Zhenqing Palace, there is a path at the foot of the mountain leading to the entrance of the cave. The entrance to the cave was covered with green moss, wild penny, and thatch, and on the top of the cave more than five feet high, a large field of green vines hung down to cover the door. There is a chaotic stone forest at the entrance of the cave, and the stone forest is overgrown with weeds. There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the stone forest, the general meaning of the inscription is: "The cave is divided into two layers inside and outside, I send people who are destined, and they must break through the four stone formations I arranged, which are the nine-square grid stone formation, the sixteen-palace grid array, the Bagua Liangyi stone formation, the anti-five-element formation, etc., and can only enter the internal cave after all are cracked, and get the opportunity I left to the descendants of the sect."

As soon as he stepped into the chaotic stone forest, as soon as Zhang Qiang stepped on a big stone, the other stones in front of him began to sink into the ground, and then a large puddle of mud appeared, leaving only nine big stones at his feet. A large stone was thrown in, and as soon as the stone fell into the mud, it sank to the bottom of the pool without making a sound. Zhang Qiang frowned, and secretly said How can I get over, although I have some chances, but I haven't formally learned martial arts, and I don't know how to use those spells, and now my body is a lot stronger, but so far, I don't know how to do light work, how can I get over

Suddenly, Zhang Qiang remembered that the inscription said that the stone henge was divided into four ways, and the first stone henge seemed to be a nine-square grid, not that it was said in mathematics, and the mantra was, "The law is based on the spirit turtle, two or four are the shoulders, six or eight are the feet, three on the left and seven on the right, one on the nine, and five in the center." Isn't it true in modern mathematics that "fill in the numbers in nine blanks, and the numbers add up to 15?" Then he lowered his head and looked at the nine stones in his hand, and sure enough, there were deep numbers engraved on the stones, and the capital numbers ranged from "one to nine", and there were nine neat spaces on the surface of the quagmire. When Zhang Qiang arranged the nine numbers according to the formula, and in order, picked up the stones one by one and threw them into the quagmire nine spaces, the quagmire under his feet sank into it again, and the stones at the bottom of the pool also rose again, so Zhang Qiang easily passed the first level.

When Zhang Qiang finished crossing this stone forest with a quagmire, his feet stepped on the stone, and then the stone in front of him sank into it again, this time it was a mud and stone pool, and there were sixteen neat spaces on the surface of the quagmire. Now mathematics has a very simple way to crack it, the ancient mathematics of nine squares, sixteen squares, twenty-five squares, all have formulas, no need to count, this formula is: outer angle reversal (1, 16 reversal, 4, 13 reversal), inner angle reversal (middle 4 number 6, 11 pairs, 7, 10 pairs) can be. According to the formula, quickly arrange the stones, pick up the big stones one by one and throw them into the mud space. The quagmire under his feet sank into it again, and the stones at the bottom of the pool also rose again, so Zhang Qiang easily passed the second level. But looking back, I was fortunate to get the Sanfeng Patriarch to open up the meridians, otherwise this stone weighing two or three hundred catties a piece, I would really have to sigh at the stone and the quagmire.

Just as Zhang Qiang was still thinking about it so easily, the stones under his feet reacted again, and he saw the long stones in front of him standing up and arranging them in the shape of gossip. And these long stones are five or six meters high, and inside these tall stones, there are also some small stones of uneven height. One of the nearest stones has some ancient characters written on it, which roughly means: "Junior, don't be complacent after passing the first two levels, just tell you, I will hunt ghosts and subdue demons in the future, even if the weak demons and monsters are not to be taken lightly." You have to be careful with the next "Bagua Liangyi Array" boy. This array is arranged according to the innate small gossip, with seven numbers as the killing, and each positive must have a reverse. Those who enter this formation will feel an invisible pressure, as if the ground under their feet is tilted to one side. The stone is unpredictable, and there is a magic way to turn one into seven. It's hard to get out. Junior, you have to be careful. ”

Looking at an ancient character on this stone, Zhang Qiang's sweat, gossip he knows, he actually added two yi, and killed with seven numbers, that is to say, if he takes a wrong step, there must be seven stones of different sizes smashed at him, isn't this to smash him into a meat patty? After pondering for a long time, Zhang Qiang secretly shouted, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger", I don't have anything to worry about anyway, for the sake of the opportunity of the ancestor inside, and also for the resurrection of the rain, no matter what, it's a big deal to be stoned to death. So he gritted his teeth and rushed into the stone henge.

As soon as he entered the stone henge, he saw that the stones in the stone henge suddenly began to rotate, Zhang Qiang just took a step, there were at least seven stones of different sizes smashed towards him, Zhang Qiang left and right, embarrassed dodge, his body was smashed blue and purple, Zhang Qiang grinned in pain, and did not dare to go casually. Suddenly, a somewhat familiar voice came from his ear: "Stinky boy, do you think this is Zhuge Kongming's gossip array, don't just think about finding a way to go out, but also find a way to push the flying stones away." It's a long life. ”

Zhang Qiang was stunned, why is this voice so similar to the old Taoist he met at the foot of Wudang Mountain yesterday. Just as he wanted to reply, he heard an old voice come again: "Don't be distracted, do as he says, remember the direction where the stone came, and when the stone flies over, you will walk in the corresponding direction." You know the gossip, that is, "Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui." "The eight trigrams represent certain things or directions in nature, and they are: Qianqian (heaven, northwest), Kun (earth, southwest), Xun (wind, southeast), Zhen (thunder, east), Kan (water, north), Li (fire, south), Gen (mountain, northeast), and Dui (Ze, west). Recall it yourself. Zhang Qiang was awe-inspiring.

After a while, the old voice came: "Young man, do you remember the gossip clearly? Next, remember the direction where the stone came, and when the stone flies over, you will go to the next direction corresponding to the gossip." For example, if the stone comes from the dry position, that is, from the northwest, you can go to the kun position, that is, the southwest position, and dodge, and then push the largest of the seven stones a little farther away, so that 7749 times, you can basically go out of the battle. Got it?" ”

Zhang Qiang collected his mind, then adjusted his state, according to the guidance of the voice, kept changing directions, moving positions, dodging, and then struggled to push away the largest of the seven stones that passed by, and so on, and finally came out. When he was sure that there was no reaction on the big rock he was standing on, and that no other stones were flying towards him, Zhang Qiang let out a long breath and collapsed on the stone.

Immediately afterwards, a somewhat familiar voice came from his ears: "Boy, I have seen a lot of people who have passed through this stone henge, and you are the most embarrassing one I have ever seen." It's also your luck to be a kid, and we will teach you to break the formation. But you're pretty sturdy, your clothes are in tatters, and you don't have any major injuries on your body. It's okay, I'm relieved to see you like this, who made you not believe that I came yesterday, and I didn't even help to speak. Haha"

Hearing the last sentence, Zhang Qiang almost fainted on the spot, this is really the old Taoist who basically believes that he is a "god stick", and he is really a master of cultivation. I'm clicking, the way of the world"

was about to respond to the old man's words, but the old voice just now came from his ears: "Boy, we can only help you get here, and the last level is only up to you." Whether or not you are related to the patriarch of the cave depends on your own creation. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Qiang "fainted"
