Although He Zaidao didn't want to go to Taisu Zhengzong again, Diaosu didn't complain, and doubled the fare, and sent the master and apprentice through Yunmeng Daze.

On the shore, He Zaidao saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you seniors." ”

At this time, the sun was rising, a thin mist rose on the lake, the fisherman only waved his hand, turned the flat boat and disappeared into the haze, He Zaidao did not stay anymore, turned around and strode towards the Central Plains.

Seeing this, He Xuan chased two steps forward and asked, "Master, is it still on foot to go to Shangxuan?" ”

He Zaidao responded: "This is nature. ”

Although He Xuan was prepared in his heart, his face was still broken.

The Lingbao Sect is located in the southeast of the land of Jersey, and the long journey of the master and apprentice from the Upside Down Mountain to Yunmengze is less than one-third of the land of Jersey, so it has been more than ten years.

And the land of the Central Plains is the center of the Divine Continent, its breadth is nearly twice that of the land of Jersey, and it is also known as having all the countries competing for deer, ten thousand customs, He Xuan really dare not think, how long will it take to go again, is it thirty years, or fifty years?

"I've almost forgotten what the upside-down mountain looks like." He Xuan muttered.

He Zaidao only said: "There are many differences between the Central Plains and Jersey, you and I need to take a good look." ”

“……”

Sure enough, the Central Plains and Jersey are really completely different, and they don't even seem to be in the same Xuanhuang and the same Shenzhou.

The Central Plains is a land of all countries and all nations, even children know that there is an immortal sect to rule the world, all countries and cities have a temple of Taoism, every household believes in Taoism, and the famous mountains and rivers are not the mountain gods and river gods canonized by the Xuanzong, or the small sects affiliated with the Shangxuan Sect.

At the foot of the middle pillar of Shenzhou, the Great Xuan Dynasty that completely belonged to the rule of Shangxuanzong, and everyone in the world enjoyed the blessings of Taoism, abundant food and clothing, and the monks appeared wantonly in the city, and even flew back and forth, and ordinary people were not surprised, only respected.

Every city in the Xuan Dynasty seems to be Xianchengfang City, and the law enforcement patrols are all Taoist soldiers, and the officials and officials are more or less cultivated.

Naturally, the cultivation of these people is not to mention He Zaidao, even in He Xuan's eyes, it is not very clever, but this is isolated from the immortals of the land of Jersey, and the paradise of Yunmengze is a completely different situation.

It is no wonder that those travelers who have the courage to open up the world and have been to the Central Plains will write those travelogues that are considered apocryphal in the land of Jersey, describing the Central Plains as 'heaven and earth' and Daxuan as 'immortal dynasty'.

Naturally, with such a vast land and an incalculable population, even if the Immortal Sect ruled the world, it would not be able to govern every corner, and the farther away from the Central Pillar of the Divine Continent, the more so.

The world is vast, the mountains and rivers have gone through the history, and the master and apprentice have seen too much along the way, but they still can't know what kind of governing concept is the law.

When he arrived at the Xuan Dynasty in this way and came to the foot of the Heavenly Pillar, he had far exceeded He Xuan's expectations, and he had walked for a full eighty years.

Naturally, he stopped and walked along the way, slaying demons and demons, making uneven noises, praying for rain and blessings, and even He Zaidao once taught and preached, and accepted a registered apprentice......

But the most delayed trip is for He Xuan's cultivation, but the past is like smoke, and there is no need to mention it again.

At the foot of the pillar of heaven, a stone staircase winds up, already into the clouds, there are probably tens of thousands of steps within the horizon alone, and it is extremely steep, climbing it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

However, it is not an exaggeration to call it the step of ascending to the sky, as long as you climb the end of this ladder, you can worship the lower courtyard of the Xuanzong, learn the rough and shallow Taoism, even if it ends here, you can also go to the Taoist temples in various places in the coming day to guard, if you can pass more tests and worship the Shangxuan Zhengzong, it is a real step to ascend to the sky.

It is rumored that if the prince of the Xuan Dynasty cannot climb this step, he will not even be able to be a prince, which shows his weight.

Therefore, no matter the season, whether it is morning or night, there are always people who climb the stone steps, but on this day, there are two incompatible Taoists who came, and they climbed the steps, and the clouds were light and the wind was light, and they easily surpassed many climbers.

These two Daoists are naturally He Zai Dao masters and apprentices, this ten thousand steps may be difficult for mortals to ascend to the sky, but it is nothing to the two of them, and the prohibition of testing the Dao heart can hardly make the two of them stop, but for a moment, the two of them have been in the clouds and mist, looking at the mountain gate.

Shang Xuanzong!

The simple three big characters made He Xuan shake his head slightly, but He Zaidao looked at it for a long time.

He Xuan came to his senses, and saw that He Zaidao seemed to be a little intoxicated, and he didn't call, and before he walked to the mountain gate alone, he didn't see any movement from him, but after a while, he saw a Shangxuan disciple unveiling the clouds and mist, and when he saw someone, he made a gesture and asked: "I've seen Taoist friends, I don't know where friends are practicing, worship the mountain or visit friends?" ”

He Xuan smiled slightly, and replied in return: "He Xuan of the Spirit Treasure Sect came to pay a visit. ”

The Shangxuan disciple's face changed slightly, and he sensed something from the breath he let go, and his attitude suddenly became respectful, and he said, "Please wait, Master." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly left, He Xuan was not annoyed, and it didn't take long for a feather warrior to come over, arch his hand, and said, "Zong Yangzi has seen a fellow Daoist. ”

"Zong Yangzi." He Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, this is a true disciple of Shangxuanzong who has a reputation in recent years, and it is not rude for him to greet him personally.

However, before He Xuan could make a common name again, Zong Yangzi had already asked with a smile: "I haven't heard of it below, when did the Spirit Treasure Sect produce a true disciple named He Xuan." ”

He Xuan smiled and said: "I have traveled to Shenzhou with my family master for a hundred years, and I have only recently been lucky enough to achieve something, and I have not returned to the sect yet. ”

"Oh?" Zong Yangzi was slightly surprised, his eyes looked behind He Xuan, and when he saw He Zaidao, his eyes were slightly bunched, and he asked, "I don't know which high master of your sect is the honorable master?" ”

He Zaidao seemed to suddenly wake up from the three words 'Shangxuanzong', stepped forward slowly, and did not take the big let He Xuan introduce him, raised his hand, and said: "He Zaidao of the Poor Dao Lingbaozong." ”

"What?" Zong Yangzi was taken aback and said: "It was actually Zaidaozi in front of him, the younger generation was rude, please take care of it." ”

He Zaidao smiled softly and said: "Little friends don't need to be polite, today is the poor road and the disciples came to visit, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

Zong Yangzi hurriedly said: "His Holiness has come from afar, how can I refuse to be a guest in Shangxuan, Venerable, Brother Dao, please come with me." ”

With the true disciples of this sect leading the way, it is unimpeded, and Zongyangzi seems to have sent a message on the way, and when the three of them officially arrived at the Xuanmen, they had already arranged to rely on and prepared the reception hall.

Although He Zaidao is a gentle person, as a major monk of the Yuanying Three Sects, he is also a Taoist son of the Lingbao Sect, and he has no etiquette that he can't bear.

After the three of them arrived at the main hall and sat down, Zong Yangzi asked, "I don't know why the Venerable and Daoist brothers came to pay a visit?" ”

He Zaidao said slowly: "The same is the authentic sect of Xuanmen, and the poor Dao has been for a long time to the demeanor of your sect, and it happened that he came to Zhongzhu during his travels, so he came to pay a visit." ”

"In addition, the poor Dao often hears the name of Zhong Daoyou of your sect, but he has never had the opportunity to meet, and he came to visit him today, and he also wants to communicate with Zhong Daoyou."

"Oh?" Zong Yangzi's eyebrows moved slightly, and he first responded: "Since the Venerable has come to pay a visit, I must not be rude in the Xuanmen, the younger generation is just at the right time, and maybe the real person in charge of the sect will personally receive the Venerable later." ”

"As for Uncle Zhong, it's a pity." Zong Yangzi thought for a while, and felt that it was not a top secret, so he said bluntly: "I heard that Uncle Zhong went to the Xuandu Dojo more than a hundred years ago to listen to the sermon, and he hasn't appeared in the door for a long time. ”

"Xuandu Dojo?" Even if He Zaidao's heart is temperamental, he can't help but be slightly surprised when he hears this.

Xuandu Dojo, if this name is spread to Shenzhou, it may also be at a loss for those who hear it, but He Zaidao, as the true legend of the Lingbao Sect, knows some secrets that have long been unknown.

But why was Shangxuanzong able to occupy the center of Shenzhou, the plain land, and proclaim himself the head of the three sects and six factions? It's just because in the history of the inheritance of Shangxuanzong, there are two pure yang true monarchs.

True and pure yang, the same king as the world, such a person can open the way to the source, but the Zhongxing sect is authentic, and it can be inherited for all generations.

There are two people in the Xuanzheng Sect, according to the records of the Lingbao Sect, they should be the Xuandu Zhenjun and the Xuantong Zhenjun respectively.

The name of Xuandu Dojo may be from Xuandu Zhenjun, Xuandu Zhenjun is the ancestor of the Xuanzong sect, the source of Taoism, but in the legend, this Zhenjun has already left Xuanhuang and opened up a dojo outside the sky to practice, and now Shangxuanzong is controlled by Xuantong Zhenjun.

Zhong Shenxiu unexpectedly attracted the attention of the patriarch of the Kaipai who had long ignored the affairs of Xuanzong, and went to the Xuandu Dojo to listen to the sermon.

He Zaidao didn't expect to hear the news, sighed for a moment, and said: "It's okay, but it's a poor way." ”

Zong Yangzi nodded slightly, and was about to say anything more, when suddenly a Taoist boy hurriedly came, and said something to Zong Yangzi, which made Zong Yangzi's face change.

"Really?" Zong Yangzi asked Dao Tong.

Dao Tong hurriedly said: "Tong'er just received the decree ...... the law"

Zong Yangzi knew that there was no mistake, his face showed a little emotion, waved his hand, and then said to He Zai: "The younger generation is talking nonsense, Venerable forgive me." ”

He Zaidao said suspiciously: "Why did Xiaoyou say this." ”

Zong Yangzi said: "It's a coincidence, in fact, not long ago, Uncle Zhong had returned from the Xuandu Dojo, but he hadn't shown up yet. ”

"When he learned that His Holiness had come to pay a visit, he sent a decree to invite His Holiness to come and meet him."

"Oh?" He Zaidao's eyes moved slightly, and he muttered: "That's fine." ”

Zong Yangzi stood up and said, "In that case, why don't Venerable go with the juniors now?" ”

He Zaidao responded: "Good." Then he got up with Zong Yangzi, and He Xuan naturally followed.

Not to mention He Zaidao, Zong Yangzi and He Xuan are also high cultivators, although they have not flown away, they are not slow to walk, and they soon climbed to the extremely high place of the heavenly pillar and boarded a hanging island.

Passing through the bamboo forest, the three of them came to a clear pond, there is a small pavilion in the pool, it can be seen that there is a picturesque fairy in the pavilion, who is fiddling with the spirit fruit, pouring tea and pouring water, seeing the three of them coming together, Wen Sheng said: "Please sit down." ”

The so-called close to Zhu Zhechi, He Xuan has been cultivating with He Zaidao for so long, and he has already sharpened it steadily and gently, but his nature has a jump, and those who have cultivated to such a realm will not give up, and he can't help but slander in his heart: "This Zhong Shenxiu has such a big shelf, and he actually asked the master to wait." ”

In any case, He Zaidao is also a figure as famous as Zhong Shenxiu, representing the face of Lingbaozong, so it is considered a cold reception.

However, He Zaidao looked light, and before sitting down, he arched his hand and said, "The fairy is polite." ”

The fairy was about to reply, when suddenly her beautiful eyes flashed, and at the same time, no matter He Zaidao, He Xuan, or Zong Yangzi, they were also attracted to their eyes.

I saw a few streams of Qi suddenly rolling in from all directions, crashing in front of the case, filling up the Dao Dao smoke, and when the clouds and mist dissipated, the tall body of a Yinglang Taoist naturally appeared here.

The man smiled and said: "He Daoyou, I have finally seen the name after hearing about it for a long time, and I hope to take care of it." ”

He Xuan had already changed his expression in shock, and although Zong Yangzi had expected it, he was also full of emotion.

He Zaidao didn't see the waves, but just got up and said: "I've seen a real person, what a little false name, rude words, please don't talk about it again." ”

Scattering is becoming Qi, gathering is forming, isn't this a sign of refining the primordial spirit?

The dignified Yuan Shen Zhenren received it in person, so how could it be rude.

"Daoist friends are polite." Zhong Shenxiu smiled faintly and said, "You and I are among the same generation, don't be too restrained. ”

"You may be seated." He sat down on the main seat, motioned for He Zaidao to sit down, and said to the fairy: "I said earlier, junior sister doesn't need to do this. ”

The fairy just smiled and responded, "Yes." ”

Zhong Shenxiu seemed to shake his head, didn't answer again, but said to He Zaidao: "I know that you came here to discuss with me, and today is the opportunity to talk about mysteries." ”

He Zaidao said slowly: "Eighty years ago, He passed through Yunmeng Daze and wanted to discuss the Tao with the Venerable Dao Miao. ”

"At that time, I happened to be above Daze, and I saw the sword qi left by the Dao Miao Venerable, and I got a glimpse of the Dao Miao Venerable's Taoism, and I felt that it was incomparable, so I didn't come to visit."

"In the past 80 years, He Mou has been full of red dust, cultivating the Tao and cultivating his mind, and he feels that he has made great progress, and when he comes to the Taoist, he has to know that he has jumped out of the door of life and death, and he has lived forever since then."

"Because of my Lingbao Sect, the people of the world have asked me to be on the same level as two Taoist friends, and I am really confessing."

He Zaidao's words are sincere, but his people are very calm, perhaps seeing the height of the mountains and the vastness of the sea, it is also a kind of promotion for this kind of person.

Zhong Shenxiu said in his heart that he was a man of false name, and this Taoist friend was also extraordinary, but he also thought of the distance, smiled faintly, and said secretly: "Xu Daoyou, a certain step ahead." ”

"Today, I am fortunate to be able to get the real fate law." He Zaidao didn't know what Zhong Shenxiu was thinking, but he said solemnly: "He has to be cheeky and ask a real person for guidance." ”

"Although there are high and low levels of cultivation, the avenue is endless." Zhong Shenxiu said: "Daoist friends don't have to be polite, I hope you and I have something to gain." ”

"Good." He Zaidao lowered his eyebrows and said.

……

There is no calendar in the mountains, but the monks know the passage of time.

In the Arctic Pavilion, Xu Zhuang suddenly realized that he slowly opened his eyes.

It turned out that I don't know when, perhaps because Xu Zhuang was too immersed in cultivation, the prohibition he laid had lost its aura, and the cold current broke into the cave unscrupulously.

It's just that the cold wind in the extreme depths of this Arctic Pavilion can't lift a corner of Xu Zhuang's robe.

He slowly put away Gangyun, did not make up the prohibition, and drove away the cold, but said to himself: "It has been a hundred years. ”
