Thousands of miles of golden sky, with the autumn wind as the orpiment, depending on the heavy clouds as the painting note, smeared out a wonderful blue that the clouds open and see the sun.

Thousands of peaks, draped in the phoenix forest for the xia veil, weaving clouds and mist into silk, dressed like a beautiful woman with a shadow of a shadow.

North of Guannan County, upstream of the Wulin River.

Several Xiu Peaks are undulating, hidden in the depths of dense forests and clouds all the year round, because they are too steep and precipitous, and quite remote, so few people visit, and naturally there is no mountain road, it has become a nameless mountain.

A clear stream flows weakly and low, with clouds and autumn winds, accompanied by dense forests and hills, flowing from the mountains.

Under the autumn sun, a light gray cloud suddenly appeared and fell leisurely on the bank of the stream in front of the mountain.

Immediately, the clouds cleared.

And two figures also appeared on the side of the stream.

A middle-aged Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and a mixed yuan scarf, and a handsome but extremely thin young man wearing a jade crown and a white robe.

"Arrived?"

Lin Lan glanced at his surroundings, there was a clear mountain stream on his left, and a huge mountain wall on his right.

"Do you think it's fast or slow?"

The Demon Heavenly Master glanced at him with a smile and said, "I saw that you were a little distracted, could it be that you were thinking about the daughter of the county guard?" Also, the girl said so bluntly that she would wait for you, and when you go back, it is normal for you to be moved. ”

Lin Lan glanced at him and didn't bother to refute.

"Just by default." The Demon Celestial Master laughed nonchalantly.

Lin Lan ignored his ridicule, just glanced around and asked, "Tengen Beppu is here?" ”

A smile appeared on the corner of the Demon Celestial Master's mouth and said, "Right in front of you." ”

Lin Lan asked softly, "Formation?" ”

"Yes, Tengen Beppu is completely shrouded in a phantom array, and I also discovered it by accident in the first place." The Demon Celestial Master said: "However, this outermost phantom array is not worth mentioning, with my Dao practice, as long as I can find this phantom array, I can easily enter it, the real problem is the closed door formation of the Beppu gate." ”

"Close your eyes and come with me."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Lin Lan's arm, and walked straight towards the steep mountain wall covered with moss.

Seeing that the steep mountain wall was getting closer and closer to him, Lin Lan also faintly realized in his heart, it seemed that this was a phantom array similar to the platform of nine and three-quarters.

He closed his eyes as he said and walked with the Demon Heavenly Master.

In the darkness, after taking another seven steps, Lin Lan suddenly felt as if he had passed through an invisible layer of airflow, and the surroundings instantly became extremely quiet.

The sound of the mountain stream, the movement of the wind through the mountains and forests, the chirping of birds in the forest...... At this moment, it completely disappeared, and even the humidity brought by the stream and the sultry feeling in the mountains could no longer be felt, and it became a little cooler in an instant.

Passed through the phantom array?

Lin Lan slowly opened his eyes.

There are faint clouds and mist floating around, and a majestic palace can be seen in the distance, looming in the mist, and you can see that this is not an ordinary place.

"Here we are."

The Demon Heavenly Master smiled, and immediately led Lin Lan towards the palace deep in the clouds.

In a few moments, the two of them arrived at the gate of the palace.

Ascending the white jade stairs is the vermilion temple gate carved with strange patterns.

And above the palace gate, under the eaves of the glazed blue tiles, you can see a huge plaque, on which are written 'Tianyuan Beppu' four dark golden characters.

"Tengen Beppu?"

Lin Lan glanced at the plaque, this traverser ancestor did a good job.

"Can't the door open?" Lin Lan asked.

"This outermost outer door can be opened three times a day, of course, it can be opened, but if you want to enter the inner door of the palace, you must go through that heavy formation."

The Demon Celestial Master sighed, "I've tried many times since I discovered this Tengen Beppu, but I've never opened the inner door. Or rather, don't dare to open. ”

Lin Lan glanced at him and asked, "Don't dare?" ”

"You will know as I come in."

The Demon Heavenly Master immediately walked up the white jade steps, and then pushed open the vermilion hall door of this Tianyuan Beppu, and walked into the palace with Lin Lan.

After entering the palace, the door of the palace behind him was closed, and it was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Immediately after, candles suddenly burned on both sides, and two rows of candle flames quickly formed, burning one after another, all the way to the depths of the palace.

Lin Lan realized that after pushing open the outer door, he only entered a wide and closed white jade passage, and the walls on both sides were the burning candles.

The Demon Heavenly Master didn't speak, just took Lin Lan along the passage and walked all the way towards the depths of the palace.

After a while, the two of them came to the end of the passage and stood in front of a wall.

On the wall, seven doors can be seen.

Lin Lan looked carefully, these seven doors were all vermilion, and there was a portrait hanging on each door, and the seven portraits were seven people, men and women, old and young.

"Do you see these seven gates?"

The Demon Heavenly Master said, "This is the legendary 'Seven Holy Gates' formation. ”

"The Seven Holy Gates?" Lin Lan looked at the characters on the seven portraits, and suddenly said, "The characters on these seven paintings are the seven disciples of the first generation of national teachers?" The Seven Saints of the Human Sect at the beginning? ”

"Yes."

The Demon Heavenly Master said: "These are the seven true disciples under the throne of the first national teacher Tang Tianyuan, these seven people are respectively used in the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, medicine, sword, and martial arts...... These seven skills are refined into the supernatural powers of life and are famous, so they are called the Seven Sages of the Human Sect. ”

Lin Lan nodded slightly.

The name of the Seven Saints came out with the first generation of national teachers, and their prestige is naturally great.

Fan Qingyao also mentioned that the song "Ambush on All Sides" may be recorded by the Qin Sage and composed into a piece after the first generation of national teachers played casually.

"These Seven Holy Gates are also the magical formations created by the first generation of national teachers who meditated hard."

The Demon Heavenly Master said: "Behind these seven gates, there are seven 'apprenticeship paths', and at the end of the road, there is the 'National Teacher Gate', but only one road is the path of life, and the other six roads are all dead ends. ”

He paused and explained:

"If it's the most basic 'One Heavy Seven Holy Gate', just choose one of the seven.

"Even if you choose to die, as long as you come to the end of the 'National Teacher Gate', don't open the door directly, but knock on the door first, this formation will only move you outside the hall, but will not kill you.

"But if you dare to open the door directly, and choose a dead end, then you will definitely die."

Lin Lan was thoughtful.

That is to say, there are seven roads behind the seven gates, but only one path is the way to live, with a 1 in 7 chance.

And this Tengen Beppu, you can see visitors three times a day, so there is a three-in-seven chance every day.

Immediately, the Demon Celestial Master sighed again:

"But it's just a double of the Seven Holy Gates.

"And the double Seven Holy Gates, the difficulty is seven times that of the original, you must choose the correct Seven Holy Gates twice, and go through two sections of life in a row before you can enter the National Teacher Gate.

"However, if you don't go to the end of the second section of the road, you don't know whether you chose right or wrong, even if one of the roads chooses the way of life, you have no way of knowing, once you knock on the national teachers, you will be directly teleported.

"You have to live on both paths before you can enter the national teachers.

"As for the Triple Seven Holy Gate, the difficulty will be increased by another seven times.

"And so on, every time you add one of the Seven Holy Gates, the difficulty will become seven times that of the previous one."

Speaking of this, the Demon Heavenly Master was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "And this Tianyuan Beppu's Seven Holy Gate Formation is the Ninefold Seven Holy Gate. ”
