Ye Zan took the Lin family sisters and brothers into the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands Town Boundary Array, although it looked like a dense fog made way for a passage from the outside, but in fact, it was already suddenly clear inside. After passing through that passage, all the dense fog seemed to disappear in an instant, and what appeared in front of Ye Zan and the others was a long winding mountain road. and a majestic mountain that towers into the sky, and the top cannot be seen even as far as the eye can see, as if connecting the heavens and the earth.

Looking at this peak from a distance, you can only see the part of the mountain that you can see, and you can see some platforms scattered around the mountainside, and there are some intermittent mountain roads that connect these platforms. It's just that no one has taken care of it for 10,000 years, controlling the growth of these plants and trees, making the entire Tongtian Peak become "back to nature". Today's platforms have been covered by dense vegetation, and only the corners of some buildings can be faintly exposed.

"This is Tongtian Peak, it looks really high!" Lin Mumu said in amazement.

This Tongtian Peak, due to the shrouding of a large array for thousands of years, it is actually impossible to see how high the mountain is from the outside, at least there is no feeling of reaching the sky. Only when he walked into the big array, without the cover of the power of the big array, did he reveal the true "Tongtian" of Tongtian Peak.

Although it is said that looking at the entire Shenhua Domain, it is not uncommon to see "towering into the clouds" peaks. However, "towering into the clouds" also depends on what kind of "clouds" it is, and you must know that this cloud is not the same as the cloud. Some "clouds" are actually clouds, not clouds that really float in the sky, and such "towering clouds" naturally have to be discounted.

And Tongtian Peak is different, it really goes straight into the sky, and under the blue sky, white clouds float through the mountainside. That kind of scene, compared to the hazy clouds and clouds, although it is less so-called beautiful, but it is much more shocking.

"This mountain path, there will be nothing unusual for ordinary mortals to walk up, but when I and other cultivators go up, it can play a role in sharpening the Dao heart, which is somewhat similar to the Vientiane Stairs of Tiandao Mountain. Since we're not in a hurry, we might as well take a walk on this mountain trail. Ye Zan turned his head and said to the Lin family brothers and sisters beside him.

Of course, this mountain road of Tongtian Peak is not paved with some enlightenment monument. The stone used on the mountain road is still ordinary stone, but with some formations and prohibitions. These formations and prohibitions do not restrict the use of mana by cultivators, nor do they restrict all kinds of flying exchanges. Only when the cultivator chooses to walk up like a mortal in a down-to-earth manner will he be able to trigger the formation and prohibition, and stimulate the effect of sharpening the Dao heart.

At the beginning, when Ye Zan walked out from here, he didn't have any cultivation on his body, so naturally he couldn't feel the difference in this mountain road. And the next few times he entered Tongtian Peak, he also flew directly to Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor, and he also had no chance to go up this mountain road. Therefore, about this mountain road, he only knew about it when he listened to Xuanyuan Dao Ancestor explain the "aftermath" in the Yin Cao Prefecture before.

"I'm not from the Yuqing Sect, isn't this inappropriate?" Thinking that this Tongtian Peak was the territory of the Yuqing Sect after all, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but have some concerns.

Ye Zan smiled indifferently, pointed to the mountain gate at the end of the mountain road, and said, "After that mountain gate, you can be regarded as truly entering the Yuqing Sect." Since this mountain road is placed outside the mountain gate, it is obviously not limited to the people of Yuqingmen. What's more, just by virtue of the friendship between you and me, what does it matter if you are from Yuqingmen or not. ”

"What kind of friendship do we have?" Hearing Ye Zan's words, Lin Miaomiao immediately asked with a smile.

"This, of course, is a like-minded Taoist friend!" Ye Zan replied seriously.

Lin Mumu stood beside him, listening to the conversation between the two, and immediately shook his head and rolled his eyes. In the end, he rushed directly to the front of the two, and while walking on the mountain road, he muttered in his mouth: "I really don't have a trick to take you guys, why can't I be a little more direct, I'm dizzy when I go around this circle!"

Lin Mumu's words, although they were muttered quietly, still fell into the ears of Ye Zan and Lin Miaomiao. However, hearing Lin Mumu's words, Ye Zan and Lin Miaomiao just looked at each other and smiled, and then followed with a tacit understanding.

In fact, at their level, there is no longer any love between men and women, and the so-called "Taoist couples" are like-minded Taoist friends. Not only them, but almost all cultivators, even if they had already become husband and wife before, in the end, the relationship between husband and wife became the love of Taoist friendship.

In fact, mortals are the same, vigorous love is just a moment of fireworks, and it is not this that really depends on old age. The two have gone through ups and downs together, cultivating the road of life, and in the end, they can also be called "Taoist friends".

Speaking of returning to Ye Zan and the others, stepping on the winding mountain road outside the gate of Tongtian Peak seemed relatively relaxed at first. However, after walking less than 100 meters, the three of them invariably slowed down, as if each step became heavier and heavier.

What is this that sharpens the heart of the Dao?

Is it pressure, is it an illusion?

I can't tell.

However, the three of them could feel that with every step they took with all their might, their Dao hearts seemed to be clearer. It was like forging iron, where a red-hot iron bar was placed on an anvil, and with each hammer blow, some impurities were smashed out.

The three of them had walked almost halfway through, and the speed of their progress had become that of a snail, and they had to rest for a while with almost every step. Don't look at Ye Zan's realm is higher than that of the Lin family's sisters and brothers, but he doesn't have any advantages over the two of them on this mountain road, and he is also wheezing in the end.

"Ye, Brother Ye, I really didn't expect that this walk could be so tiring, let me sit down and take a breath first. Lin Mumu seemed to have turned into a weak scholar, and while talking to Ye Zan with difficulty, he turned to the stone on the side of the road and sat down.

Looking at Lin Miaomiao again, in fact, it is not much better, although she is not as embarrassed as her younger brother, but she is already flushed and sweaty. Ye Zan saw that the sister and brother were tired, so they also moved to the side of the road with difficulty, stretched out his hand to wipe the Qiankun ring, and suddenly there were two more chairs on the ground, and then said: "Miaomiao, come and rest, this mountain road does not require a one-way walk, and resting halfway will not affect the effect of grinding." ”

Hearing Ye Zan's words, Lin Miaomiao nodded weakly, forced herself to the side of the road, and sat on a chair prepared by Ye Zan, then she let out a long breath and said, "I didn't expect this mountain road to be so difficult to walk, did the predecessors of the Yuqing Sect enter and exit the sect like this?"

Although she was only halfway away, Lin Miaomiao had clearly felt how much she had benefited from this grinding. This couldn't help but make her think that ten thousand years ago, the disciples of the Yuqing Sect often traveled on this mountain road, and how clear the Dao heart had to be sharpened.

Ye Zan also sat down on another chair, but after hearing Lin Miaomiao's words, he shook his head and said with a smile: "I heard Master say that even in the Yuqing Sect ten thousand years ago, there were only a few people who often sharpened their Dao hearts in this way. After all, in that era, the cultivation environment was much stronger than it is now, so naturally I didn't care about this little benefit. ”

This is human nature, easy to get, often not cherished.

In the realm of 10,000 years ago, the cultivation environment was much better than now, and it stands to reason that these good conditions should be taken advantage of. However, it is precisely because of the good environment that there are more choices to be made, and most people are more picky. I can use an easier method to improve my realm cultivation, so why should I have to endure hardships and fatigue to climb the mountain path? As a result, this mountain path set up by the ancestor of the Yuqing Sect has not only not become a welfare in the eyes of most people in the Yuqing Sect, but has become a trouble.

Originally, this mountain road in the Yuqing Sect had to be entered and exited on foot, but as a result, many people tried their best to choose "home" in the sect whenever it was not necessary. Those who received the task and needed to go down the mountain to do errands regarded taking this mountain path as a major obstacle, and they were not even very enthusiastic about doing things for the sect.

In desperation, the patriarch of the Yuqing Sect modified the ban on this mountain road, so that those who were unwilling to take the mountain road could fly over in the air, which could be regarded as making those disciples stop complaining.

Listening to Ye Zan's words, Lin Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, somewhat not quite understanding the thoughts of those "seniors".

Lin Mumu, who was sitting on the stone next to him, said with a heartless look: "Yes, if I had other choices, I wouldn't want to take this mountain road, I'm so tired after only half walking, I'm afraid I'll have to climb over!"

Lin Miaomiao glared at her younger brother, but she also saw the thoughts of the "seniors" from her younger brother, and couldn't help but shake her head and said: "This is probably what is often said in the world, you don't know how to be blessed in the blessings." Patriarch Yuqing set up this mountain path for disciples to sharpen their Dao hearts so conveniently, which is obviously not something that can be replaced by anything. It's a pity that even if they embark on the path of cultivation, not everyone has a true heart for the path, so it's no wonder that such a situation occurs. ”

It is often said that cultivating the Tao is to seek longevity and freedom, but under this premise, in fact, many people choose this path for other reasons. For example, for the sake of greater power, for the sake of the monastic's supremacy over the world, or even just for the sake of having the capital to indulge in pleasures. Therefore, not everyone will do everything they can to sharpen themselves. If there is an easier way to improve your strength and achieve the various goals you originally envisioned, then you will naturally choose the easier one.

Lin Mumu pursed his lips, always feeling that his sister was counting herself, so she subconsciously turned her gaze away. However, with a turn of his gaze, he suddenly jumped up from the stone, pointed to the shadows not far from the mountain road, and shouted to Ye Zan: "Brother Ye, look there, is there a dead person there!"

When Ye Zan heard this, he immediately turned around and looked, and followed the direction pointed by Lin Mumu, and sure enough, he saw a figure hidden in the nest of an ancient tree. Why did Lin Mumu directly shout, "There is a dead man"? This is actually not strange at all, where the figure is, there is no anger at all, let alone the slightest fluctuation of mana, and there will be no other than a dead man. It is precisely because of this that Ye Zan and the others have been sitting here for so long that they didn't notice that there was still a figure hidden there, and they turned their eyes directly to Lin Mumu.

"It's indeed a dead man, go over and take a look?" Ye Zan asked the Lin family siblings as he walked over there.

Since he had already left the mountain road, Ye Zan did not have the pressure to walk, and came to the front of the ancient tree in a few steps. And the Lin family sisters and brothers, all with curiosity on their faces, followed behind Ye Zan and walked over.

In fact, the identity of this dead man was already known in the hearts of the three people. After all, there were a lot of people who entered Tongtian Peak back then, but none of them walked out of it alive, so where did those people go? You don't need to use your brain to guess that there will be no other result than being trapped and dying inside.

Approaching the ancient tree, Ye Zan swung his sword and slashed away the branches and vines that blocked the tree's nest, completely revealing the figure inside. The figure, sitting in the nest of the tree, had completely turned into a white skeleton, wrapped in a remnant of a Taoist robe, and there was a broken flying sword next to it.

"This guy, I'm afraid it's not the Daojun of the Law Minister!" Lin Mumu stepped forward, and when he saw that the white bones were like white jade, he suddenly said with a slight sigh.

You must know that in today's Shenhua Domain Realm, although the Faxiang Daojun is under the Supreme of Tongtian, he is already a group of people who stand at the top of the world. Over the years, there has been very little news of the fall of the Dao Monarch of the Law Phase, that is, at the original Dao Conference, Ye Zan revealed the death of the Taiyi Sect Yuan Zhen Dao Monarch, which is the only confirmed news in thousands of years.

Ye Zan carefully looked at the white bone clothes and made sure that it was not a person from a major sect such as the known Five Elements Taihao, so he guessed: "Looking at the Dao robe on this body, it seems that it is not the people of the current few major sects, presumably with his death here, the sect where he is located has long disappeared." ”

"Look at this senior, if there is anything left!" Lin Mumu was a little excited, his eyes looked around the white bones for a while, and finally saw a Qiankun ring under the legs of the white bones.

For many people, "picking up trash" will produce a thrill similar to treasure hunting, so there used to be a type of game in the tech world called a post-apocalyptic survival game. In this kind of game, a big selling point is to "pick up garbage", and use the garbage you pick up to assemble various weapons and tools that are useful for yourself.

Of course, the Qiankun ring left by the Daojun of the Law Minister, it should not be as simple as "garbage", which can really be regarded as a treasure hunt.

As for whether there was any offense to the deceased, none of the three people present had such consideration. Anyway, the other party is already dead, and the second is still dead in Tongtian Peak, so what else is there to scruple about. The only thing is that the other party died in Tongtian Peak, and the thing left behind should be regarded as Yuqing Sect's. But to be honest, Ye Zan really didn't care very much, what great things could be left behind by this Faxiang Daojun.
