When Xingyan realized in his heart that he had just lost face to face with a master, and when he caught up with him, he found that the elder Taoist who had just come to sing was now nowhere to be seen, and it seemed to have disappeared out of thin air!

"Ah! Such a fairy method, but I missed it, it's a pity, it's a pity! It seems that I still don't have enough luck~"

The mountain road is lonely, and only the white clouds on the horizon are long. Looking at the empty stone path in front of him, Xingyan was a little stunned.

The stone path on which the boy was standing now was on the side of the mountain woods, and there was no shelter on the right hand side, and the mountain wind was a little violent. Standing on this desolate stone road for a while, he woke up and felt that the wind blowing clothes in this mountain was a little cold. Thinking of Chen Ziping, who was still resting in the Mid-Levels Pavilion, he had no choice but to return.

......

In the woods on the left side of the stone road that the young man was looking forward to, there was an elderly Taoist who was sitting on a bluestone in the grass, taking off his shoes and rubbing his feet. I only heard him sigh and say in annoyance:

"Alas, you shouldn't have been greedy for shortcuts, but you should have been stoned and had to rest for a long time...... Bad luck!"

Not to mention the Taoist in the forest, not to mention the awakening Chen Ziping and the two, after more than an hour of climbing, they finally arrived at the mountain gate of the Shangqing Palace. I saw an old stone gate, standing at the fork in the road leading to the four main peaks of Luofu Mountain. This tall stone plaque door, the shape is simple, there is no inlay on it, but it is simply written on the top of the door with four bell and ding seal characters:

"Luo Fu Shangqing"

What is somewhat unexpected is that the façade of such a famous first sect in the world, its stone plaque façade, seems to have not been cleaned for many years, the stone pillars on both sides of the mountain gate are close to the left, overgrown with weeds, and the two stone pillars, after so many years of mountain wind and rain invasion, there are many weathered and peeling places on them. In those eroded stone hollows, there are still a few grasses growing.

However, it is precisely because of such antiquity that Xingyan immediately reminds me of the long history and deep foundation of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain. Perhaps, it is this kind of non-repairing that makes this stone gate slightly damaged, so that people can feel a unique ancient temperament. This is more awe-inspiring than the new and glamorous decoration of those emerging sects!

When he entered the Shangqing Stone Gate and followed Chen Ziping to Feiyun Peak, the main peak of Luofu Mountain, where the Feiyun Peak is located, he knew what was the realm of the cave and what was the immortal atmosphere!

After climbing Feiyun Peak from the fork in the road for the first time, Xingyan found that this mountain road was even steeper than before. In some places, the stone path is often only more than one person wide, and the bottom of the mountain is on the outside. There is also a section of stone steps, looking from below, it seems to be stuck to the steep cliff out of thin air, and there is no support up and down.

Rao is a young man is bold, but when he first saw this dangerous road, he also shuddered. Especially when he walked on this volley stone steps, he only felt that the thousands of mountains in front of him seemed to be rushing towards him, and that momentum really made this young Luofu beginner awe-inspiring.

According to Chen Ziping, when the mountain road was opened up in Feiyun Peak, the mountain builders walked here and found that the mountain was too steep and difficult to attach. When the mountain road is built here, it seems to be a dead end. Just when everyone was helpless and helpless, there was a senior master of the Shangqing Palace, who exerted his best strength and pulled out a spiraling stone step out of thin air on the upright rock wall like a rock knife and axe-

Although the road is opened, it can be regarded as unimpeded, but after all, this stone path is suspended in mid-air, and the person who walks is really frightening when he thinks that he is not able to go up to the sky or down to the ground, and that one thing is not right, that is, the yin and yang are separated. Therefore, the Shangqing Gate people who often need to walk on this volley stone steps call this volley stone road "the road of gods and ghosts"; The disciples who have just entered the Shangqing Palace also have an unwritten rule: if they go through this "ghost road", after going to the Shangqing Palace to visit the statue of the Sanqing Patriarch, they can prove that their Dao heart is strong, and they will officially become a real Shangqing Sect person.

When he walked through this "ghost road" in fear, and climbed up for a while, Xingyan suddenly realized that there seemed to be wisps of mist around him, floating incessantly. The young man who noticed this strange situation couldn't help but look back - this scene he saw when he looked back and said that he would never forget it for the rest of his life:

At this time, the mountains in front of me were filled with white clouds. The mountains that fill the heavens and the earth are constantly steaming and surging, just like the sea of clouds, boundless. In this constantly changing sea of clouds, there are three beautiful peaks, let the empty clouds rush and wash, but there is no movement. Surrounded by the clouds in the sky, the three mountains floating above the sea of clouds are like the legendary overseas Yingzhou Immortal Island, which is as real as an illusion.

At this moment, the pure sunlight that came from the sky was shining obliquely on these three peaks—it shone on these fairy islands in the sea of clouds, shining with holy brilliance.

Now, Xingyan is standing on this sea of clouds, watching the chaotic clouds flying, watching the ups and downs of Fengyu, and the wind on this high mountain is blowing clothes. At this moment, the young man seemed to feel that he was already an immortal in the sky, and he didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't know what he was, just like walking in the clouds, relying on the void to resist the wind, fluttering and wanting to break through the air......

Precisely:

At the end of the sea view, the sky is the shore, and the mountain is the peak!

Besides, Chen Ziping saw that the young man suddenly stopped, and only looked at the Baoxia Zhufeng there stupidly, and his face showed the meaning of dust, and for a while, he couldn't bear to disturb him. After a long while, when the young man came back to his senses, Chen Ziping told him that the three peaks that were rising and falling in the sea of clouds in front of him were the peaks where the Shangqing Palace was located in addition to the Shangqing subjective: Zhu Ming Peak, Baoxia Peak, and Yu Xiu Peak. These peaks, standing around Feiyun Peak, echoing each other from afar, together with this Feiyun Peak, collectively called Luofu Mountain "Shangqing Four Caves".

And that Luofu Mountain flying to the top of the clouds, it is not far from the place where the awakening is in a daze. After a while, the two of them arrived at the top of Feiyun Peak where the Shangqing Palace was located.

When he was approaching the top of Feiyun Peak, the mountain wind was fierce, the clouds were steaming, and Xingyan felt quite cold. But when he reached the top of the flying clouds, he suddenly felt that he seemed to be back to the warm spring outside the mountain.

This Feiyun Peak is the top layer of Feiyun Peak. Xingyan found that this flying cloud top seemed to be a huge stone platform, flat all around, as if it were flat ground. On the top of this flying cloud, as Chen Ziping said before, it is really a Qihua all over the place, and the yao grass is like a tree, showing the meaning of Changchun. Among the verdant bamboos and trees, there are several temples with flying pavilions and eaves - among them, there is a towering pavilion, which is the "Guantian Pavilion", the retreat place of the Taoist people of the Shangqing Palace.

Now in front of the awakening in front of this flying cloud top Qingguan is the main hall of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain. This temple is simple in appearance, and naturally exudes a solemn atmosphere, which is full of energy. In front of this Shangqing Temple, there is a wide square paved with stone bricks, and at the four corners of the square, there are five stone statues distributed according to the five elements. After a brief look, he knew that the stone statues at the four corners were the four spirits of Taoism: the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu. In the middle of this square, in the direction of Wuji, there is a huge stone Taiji. The yin and yang halves of the Taiji diagram are combined, the yang side is covered with Fei Fei fragrant grass, which is growing on its own, showing a vigorous vitality, and the yin side is a smooth stone face, on which there is a constant flow of water—this quiet flowing water is overflowing the entire stone face.

Xingyan was quite curious about this Taiji flowing water, because when he looked at this invisible flowing water, he felt that the spiritual platform was exceptionally clear and empty, and the hard work of climbing the mountain seemed to be swept away.

What still surprised the young man was that he looked at it for a long time, but he never understood where the flowing water on the yin side of Tai Chi came from and where it flowed. This stream of water appears out of thin air and then flows out of thin air, as if it has cut off a section of the spring and placed it here!

Now on this stone brick square, there are quite a few Shangqing Taoist people walking around, and when they see such a young man suddenly coming, just standing in front of the Taiji stone statue, they can't help but be a little curious. Seeing that he had attracted the attention of his senior brothers and uncles, Chen Ziping hurriedly greeted him and led him to the gate of the Shangqing Palace.

When he arrived at the Shangqing Guanmen, Chen Ziping explained his intention to the disciples guarding the door, and asked him to announce it to the master, and said that the new hall of the Sihai Hall had reached the door.

The little Taoist priest went in response, and woke up Chen Ziping and the others were waiting outside this door. Xingyan saw that on the stone plaque on the head of the Shangqing Gate, the four characters "Dongying Shangqing" were engraved, and on both sides were a pair of ancient couplets:

Forging the surname Xuanmen to the fairyland

The bath snow is soft and the Lantai is bright

For the young man who is now watching the couplet, "entering the gate of the Shangqing Dynasty" - something that has been thought about for so many days, or so many years, once it comes true, it is reasonable to say that he should be very excited, but when he really arrived at the door of the Shangqing Palace, Xingyan calmed down, and he was quite interested in playing with this couplet.

However, when he was allowed to enter the Shangqing Gate and go to see the world-shaking Shangqing master, Xingyan still couldn't help beating the drum in his heart.

In a clean and tidy quiet room, Xingyan finally met the head of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain, Ling Xuzi.

Before meeting the most famous Taoist in Shangqing, Xingyan also made a lot of speculations about his appearance. Although there are many imaginary images, they are always inseparable from the tall and majestic, fairy wind and old appearance. But when he really saw this Lingxuzi, the head of the Shangqing Dynasty, Xingyan realized that he had only guessed half of it correctly - this head of the Shangqing Dynasty was really a wonderful demeanor with profound morals; In particular, this Lingxuzi was not very tall, and standing in front of Xingyan, he seemed to be one or two points lower than the young man.

But even this unassuming appearance naturally exudes an indescribable majesty, and although seeing him standing there casually with a smile on his face, it makes people involuntarily rise up a sense of awe.

Seeing Xingyan coming, the head of Lingxu was also very happy, and thanked Xingyan for the fact that the Xingyan family had given the horseshoe blessed land and the Shangqing Palace to build another courtyard - the young man was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say it.

Seeing that this young man with clear eyebrows was humble and polite, the head of Lingxu was also very satisfied. After a pause, it was rumored that Liu Zongbai, the former hall master of the Four Seas Hall, and the current Taoist head of the Hongfa Hall, Qingbai, came to talk to Xingyan about the handover.

——When the hall master in front of the hall of this lay disciple got the news that he had entered the hall and saw his appearance, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"So it's you?"
