Text Chapter 120 Singing Crane Nine Skies
Li Zhen and his entourage got off the car and walked into the Five Heavens Mountain, where the rich spiritual energy has been excessively consumed due to the uncontrolled absorption of spiritual power by the monks for many years, and now the Five Heavens Mountain shows a scene of rivers and rivers, and it is deserted and has long lost its prosperity in the past!
The main peak of the Five Heavens Mountain, Lengyue Peak, is the dojo where the disciples of the Five Heavens Mountain practice, and it is also the most precipitous peak of the Five Heavens Mountain, and the beautiful scenery makes people forget to return.
The further up you go, the steeper and more rugged the mountain road becomes, I really don't know why the people of these five heavenly mountains live in such a high place?
Ziyan is struggling, she is a weak woman, she has no cultivation, it is quite difficult to climb up the mountain, Li Zhen supported Ziyan along the way, and barely climbed to the halfway point of Lengyue Peak, There is a pavilion here, it seems that it is specially built to let pedestrians go up the mountain rest, the vermilion paint on the pavilion has been mottled and peeled off more than half, and it looks slightly depressed from a distance.
"Let's rest here first, shall we?" Li Zhen proposed, although the three of them were not tired, but in order to take care of Ziyan, everyone agreed to sit down and rest their feet first, and by the way, take a look at the scenery on this halfway mountainside.
"Brother Zhen, look!"
Li Zhen looked far away in the direction pointed by Ziyan, and the sky was full of clouds and mist, as if he was in the clouds, which made people feel refreshed.
"The scenery on this halfway mountainside is so magnificent, let alone the top of the mountain?" Li Zhen looked at this great river and mountain in his heart, and sighed infinitely in his heart.
"I don't know what other strange scenery is waiting for us to explore little by little!" Li Zhen thought in his heart, when this court crisis is resolved, he will bring purple smoke to enjoy every scenery on the land of this country, and it will not be in vain to walk in the world.
"Li Shaoxia, you see that someone seems to be coming over there. Although Gonggong Hu was old, his eyes were keen, and he saw a row of people coming from the sea of clouds from a distance.
"Wouldn't it, wouldn't it? How could those people walk on the clouds?" Li Zhen also saw something that looked like a human figure floating towards them from the sea of clouds, but he couldn't believe that it was a person.
Long Xiao also hurriedly surrounded him.
"Why not? These five heavenly mountains and the people who soar through the clouds and fog really make me more and more curious. Long Xiao looked at it carefully and said slowly.
As the figures got closer, they saw more and more clearly, only to see a gray-haired old man, followed by four or five disciples, each stepping on a crane from the sea of clouds to this place at a rapid pace.
"That person should be the Sumeru Dao Elder among the two elders of the Five Heavenly Mountains!" Long Xiao listened to the rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Sumeru Dao Elder was good at raising cranes, and he drove cranes to roam the sky like walking on the ground, and his cultivation was almost to the sky, and the four Dharma Protector disciples under his command, Ming, He, Jiu, and Xiao, each of them was not an ordinary person!
"Isn't it rumored that Sumeru has been in retreat, why is it here again?" Li Zhen was puzzled.
"Fellow Daoists, Sumeru is courteous here!" Sumeru drove the crane and stopped in the pavilion halfway up the mountain, although he cultivated to a high level, but he didn't put up a fight, and when he saw the fellow people in the rivers and lakes come to worship the mountain, he took the initiative to take care of them.
"The senior's gift is really tormenting us!" Hu Gonggong hurriedly stepped forward and talked to Sumeru in his sharp voice, Hu Gonggong is also the number one person in the rivers and lakes, although he has long known Sumeru, but he has not really met, and when I see it today, Sumeru's peaceful personality is indeed eye-catching.
Su Mei had just come out of the retreat in the Liuxian Cave of the Five Heavens Mountain, and he and his disciples were about to return to Lengyue Peak, when they saw Li Zhen holding the tired purple smoke on the way, and their hearts suddenly felt compassion, so they turned around halfway up the mountain.
There are many believers who come here to worship incense on weekdays in the cold moon peak of Wutian Mountain, and Sumeru will drive a crane to take them on a trip every time he sees it, and today he also sees Li Zhen and others as believers who come to worship the mountain and enter the incense.
"In the vast sea of people, where to divide the predecessors and descendants, dust to dust to dust, sooner or later to be the outsider. I see a few people with heavy faces, do you have something important to go up the mountain?" Sumeru's long silver hair was neatly combed behind his head, and his face was ruddy, and he looked like a master of Taoism! He spoke without hesitation, and he was full of energy, except for his hair, he didn't look like an old man.
Sumeru's simple words surprised Li Zhen's heart, he was as psychic as an initiation!
Li Zhen was so excited as if he had met a confidant, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"I think this young man is extraordinary, he seems to have the aura of water and clouds, it's not simple!" Sumeru looked at Long Xiao and said with a smile, his eyes narrowed into a slit as he spoke, and the outline of his triangular eyes could be clearly seen.
"Seniors have good eyesight, this brother of mine does have some background, the dragon body is incarnated, and he travels all over the world only in the blink of an eye!" Li Zhen listened to Sumeru's guess, and couldn't help but praise him!
"Haha...... The vastness of heaven and earth, the spirituality of all things!You still have too little experience!" Sumeru listened to Li Zhen's complacent introduction to Long Xiao, and couldn't help but pour cold water on him.
"Then senior, look at this young man, how is his qi vein?" Hu Gonggong saw that Sumeru did seem to have the skill of matching people, and wanted him to see how much potential Li Zhen had.
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry! I haven't seen this son yet, I can already clearly feel his qi vein, Ran Ran's power, endless, the future is unspeakable, incomprehensible!" Sumeru looked at Li Zhen's eyes as he spoke, and looked at him, ordinary people really couldn't look directly into Sumeru's eyes, so Li Zhen stared at Sumeru with round eyes, and Li Zhen's extraordinary life was revealed between the lines.
"Is there such a mystery?" Li Zhendu couldn't believe the words of this Taoist master.
"Xuan is not Xuan, it's just that the wind and clouds have not yet arrived! The spirit is not the spirit, and the three points of residual wine and blood will not wake up!" Sumeru Dao Changyun said these words in a fog, and Li Zhen and the others couldn't understand it at all.
"Dao Chief, we didn't come to Wutian Mountain this time to listen to your old man's lectures! The imperial court is in trouble, I want to ask you to go down the mountain and restore peace to the people!" Grandpa Hu really didn't want to listen to the nonsense of this old Taoist anymore, so he directly stated the purpose of coming here.
"Don't enter the mountain gate, don't worship God! I advise you to go step by step!" Sumeru seemed to have never heard the words of Gonggong Hu, and said unreasonably and without a match!
"The predecessors cultivated to the sky, wise and wise, and they won't ignore the world, right?" Long Xiao seemed to understand Sumeru's words.
"Everything has its own certainty, whether it is the imperial court, whether it is the rivers and lakes! There will always be fallen leaves and return to the roots! The world is still the world, and the old way is the old way after all!" Sumeru put down this sentence, and drove the crane away, and the fluttering figure gradually disappeared into the vast sea of clouds, like a grain of sand drowning in the endless sea.
"What is this old Tao talking about? Why didn't I understand a word!" Hu Gonggong saw Sumeru disappear into the sky, and hurriedly asked Long Xiao, after all, Long Xiao was the only person among these people who could communicate with Lao Dao, and only Long Xiao seemed to understand Sumeru's words.
"To be honest, I don't understand it either, there are words in the long words of Sumeru Dao, all of which are extraneous sounds, and his words covered by clouds and mountains are like this vast sea of clouds, if it is not for the sun to come out, it is difficult to peek into the panorama under the mountain. Long Xiao said and shook his head.
"Don't think about it so much, let's continue to go up the mountain! Do your best, and listen to the destiny of heaven!" Li Zhen saw that since everyone couldn't figure out and guess Sumeru's words, the only way to go up the mountain was to visit another elder of the Five Heavens Mountain.
"That's right! Li Zhen is right! Instead of guessing here, let's go up the mountain to find out. Long Xiao still praised Li Zhen's pragmatic spirit.
The four of them shook their spirits and continued to climb towards the top of Cold Moon Peak, Li Zhen kept pondering what Sumeru had just said along the way, and he really didn't want to enjoy the beautiful scenery outside the mountain!
As they climbed the mountain, the weather became clear for no reason, and the sun somehow broke through the clouds and appeared above them, the sun was shining, but it also brought them a crazy heat wave.
It stands to reason that this mountain should be cooler the higher it goes, but this cold moon peak is scorching hot in the sun, and Li Zhen and the four of them are sweating!
Ziyan even wetted the soft silk dress, and the clothes were tightly attached to her body, reflecting her bumpy figure, due to the hot weather, her face was flushed, which made people's hearts ripple.
Li Zhen held Ziyan's arm tightly, Ziyan was so tired, her whole body was half leaning on Li Zhen, in fact, she was no longer climbing the mountain, it was completely Li Zhen holding her forward.
Gradually, the outline of the gate at the top of the mountain appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the four of them quickened their pace to end the tiring climb to the mountain earlier.
"What kind of person!" A sharp voice slashed out of the air, and a young man in black, holding a sword in his hand, flew from the mountain and landed in front of Li Zhen and the others, they only cared about climbing the mountain, where would they know that someone would come out to block the road when they were about to reach the top of the mountain.
"We are from the capital, and we are here today to meet the two elders of the Five Heavenly Mountains, which is a little interesting, and I hope that the little brother will have a convenient trip. As soon as Gonggong Hu saw that this person was guarding here, he hurriedly stepped forward and said good things, as the saying goes, the king of Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult! This truth that money can make ghosts grind, of course Gonggong Hu understood, he took out a golden gold ingot, and handed it to the young man in black.
"Phew, you are a restaurant and inn in our Wutian Mountain, and you should take away the copper smell in this world!"
"Hey, Shaoxia, can you see clearly, this is a piece of gold, you can go to the capital enough for you to spend a year!" Long Xiao also wondered if the people of the Five Heavenly Mountains didn't use silver taels?
"The Five Heavens Mountain is a place of retreat, the upper reaches reach the sky, and the lower reaches reach the netherworld, do you think your ingots can knock on the door in front of you?"
"We're not here to look for you? If you know each other, get out of here, I'll get in a hurry, and I'll beat you to death at your doorstep!" Believe it or not?" Li Zhen listened to the words of the young man in black, and his heart was like a fire, for this kind of toast and don't eat and drink, there is no need to be polite to them.
