The back door of the sect is located in the east of the north of the entire sect. Although it is the back door, it is also built tall and incomparably tall, and from a distance, it is also magnificent, carved beams and painted columns.

When Ye Guzhou and Zhou Changsheng were about to arrive at the north gate, they bowed slightly to a boulder that was ten stories high and looked like a hill! Qi Dao

"Master Zu is well!"

It turned out that the back door was a little easterly, because there was a tall boulder just north of the sect, which occupied a lot of land, and the back door could only be slightly offset to the east.

After the back door of the sect is built, all the disciples who come in and out have to go around the stone, and when they pass by, the disciples have to bow to the boulder, and say that the ancestor is well! To thank the founder of the sect for his kindness.

Legend has it that the patriarch of the sect passed by this place when he saw that the stone was very peculiar, and also saw that the aura of this place was relatively strong and the scenery was beautiful, so he left to cultivate, and gradually opened the sect and multiplied to this day.

It is also said that this stone is the place where the ancestor ascended to the Tao back then, so the disciples in the door generally have to worship when they pass by.

This stone is deep in the ground, I don't know how many, the stone is carved with two strong and powerful big characters "Qingyun" at the waist of the stone, and the top of the stone exudes a green air that seems to be there all the year round, and the entire backyard of the sect is shrouded! Because the boulder is named "Qingyun Stone", the Qingyun Sect is also named after it.

This boulder is peculiar, the green qi is weird, and the elders in the Qingyun Sect have been carefully studying it for thousands of years. But this stone is just an ordinary monolithic bluestone, which is a little taller and stronger than ordinary stones.

But the strange place of this boulder is that there is no grass, and it is clean all year round without dust and soil. In summer, the rain does not get wet, and in the winter, the snowflakes fall and dissolve, and the hands are not lukewarm or cool to the touch, as smooth as jade. The green gas on the stone is only vague all year round, and there is nothing to do, and it is not toxic and harmless.

Because there is no reason for the research, so slowly no one studies it anymore. The sect only considers it to be a relic commemorating the founding patriarch and worships it occasionally.

Ye Guzhou was about to leave after worshipping, and suddenly, a trace of green energy emanating from the stone seemed to float into his brain, and his spirit was also lifted! When I want to feel it seriously, I feel like nothing.

I couldn't help but shake my head, wondering if I had just crossed over, and I was dazzled by lack of energy? He took Zhou Changsheng unexpectedly, and wanted to go to the back door deacon to check the waist card and go up the mountain to fetch firewood.

Before leaving, he turned his head to look at the boulder, and felt that the boulder seemed to be even taller, like a general who swallowed mountains and rivers and was awe-inspiring, standing there commanding thousands of troops and horses to charge into battle! It's like an immortal, soaring through the clouds and fog to soar in the day! I couldn't help but stand on my feet and say goodbye again!

"Zhouzi, what's wrong with you today, you can't finish worshipping the ancestor stone? Can you still beat firewood today? ”

Zhou Changsheng said a little impatiently.

"It's okay! Little fat, sharpen the knife and don't cut wood, and it's good to worship the ancestor stone! I hope he will bless us to go early and come back early."

Ye Guzhou smiled and said.

"Then I'll say goodbye! Let Master Zu bless the two of us to meet good firewood, go early and return early. ”

After Xiaopang finished speaking, he bowed to the boulder again, muttering blessings and the like in his mouth.

For thousands of years, the disciples in the door have mostly worshiped the boulder as their ancestors, so the green cloud stone is called the "ancestor stone" by the disciples. Passed down to the present day!

"Let's go!"

Ye Guzhou and Zhou Changsheng checked the waist card at the deacon disciple at the door together, and officially started today's journey of collecting firewood.

Ye Guzhou walked out of the sect and walked all the way along the mountain path, breathing in the fresh air and looking at the magnificent and beautiful scenery along the way. I didn't feel that I was in a good mood, and I couldn't help but let out a long howl.

"What the hell are you howling about? Scare Lao Tzu"

Xiaopang punched Ye Guzhou and scolded.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Chubby, I'm just in a good mood! Don't shout, don't shout"

Ye Guzhou smiled at Zhou Changsheng with a smile.

The two of them sped up their speed into the mountain, gradually getting farther and farther away from the sect, and the back mountain was getting closer and closer.

The back mountain of Qingyun Sect is a huge Yinshan mountain range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, spanning Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County. In front of the mountains is a vast plain, the land is fertile, there are mountains to block the cold winds in the north, so the climate is pleasant, and countless people and countries live. Behind the mountains are grasslands and snowfields, sparsely populated, but with a large number of animals and powerful monsters.

The back mountain is hundreds of miles in circumference, there are nine huge peaks of different heights, the highest in the middle is the main peak, people take the mountain peak as the name, call it Jiufeng Mountain, and the peripheral peaks are slightly shorter in turn called the eight peaks, the seven peaks ....... There are many animals in the mountains, and there are a small number of demon beasts, but the demon beasts are mainly active on the main peak of Jiufeng Mountain, and a very small number are active in the four or five peaks on the periphery.

The place where the sect gives the outer disciples to practice is the fourth or fifth peak, where the first and second level demon beasts are the mainstay, which is equivalent to the cultivation of the qi refining period, and there are very few demon beasts above the third level that are equivalent to the foundation building period. If it appears, it will also lead the elders of the foundation building period to deal with it. The trials of the disciples of the outer sect of the sect are mainly based on collecting medicine and hunting beasts, and hunting demon beasts is generally the final top task of the trial, and most of them are group team tasks.

Legend has it that the main peak of Jiufeng Mountain has a demon beast cultivated in the fifth-level Jindan period, which is basically designated as a forbidden area by the sect, and it is strictly forbidden for inner and outer disciples to enter. In fact, above the six peaks, ordinary inner and outer disciples are forbidden to enter, and as for the major personal disciples of the sect, they can only form a team to enter after reporting to the sect.

The place where Ye Guzhou and Zhou Changsheng collect firewood today is on the periphery of Jiufeng Mountain. Only a small number of wild animals survive, mostly common rabbits, monkeys, roe deer and other herbivores, and large carnivores rarely appear.

The two continued to go deeper along the mountain road, and there were not many qualified firewood outside. Now I am going to a place called Eagle Falling Stream, where the primeval forest is dense, there are endless qualified firewood, and the oil content is strong, which is the best fuel for the kitchen of the sect.

The terrain of the eagle falling stream is dangerous, there is a deep mountain spring water flowing at the bottom of the valley, the eagle flying in the sky often ripples on the water surface of the valley bottom, as if a small animal is running, often flies down, falls straight into the water, the eagle falls into the water so named.

Of course, Ye Guzhou has never seen an eagle fall into the water, and he has never even seen a sparrow in the stream, so it may be that the ancients named it indiscriminately.

After walking for about an hour, I arrived at the place where firewood is usually gathered. The two of them skillfully cut down a pine tree that had just begun to wither, and bundled it in sections. This semi-dry pine wood is the best firewood, neither too dry nor too wet, with just the right amount of oil, and it can be used after being split after going back to dry for a few days. In less than two hours, the two of them made two bundles of firewood, each of which was a hundred catties away. Ye Guzhou is a little thicker today, about one hundred and thirty pounds.

Ye Guzhou understands that if you want to get ahead anywhere, you must put in more effort than ordinary people. There are no shortcuts to success, only hard work and diligence.
