The four sides of the peak are connected with Yulonggang in the north, three sides face the deep valley, there are pine trees, fir trees, etc. on the peaks, the leaf color is emerald green, and the crown of the tree is like a cover. The peak protrudes between the ravines, condescending, the cliff is ten thousand feet, the bottom is unpredictable, the shape is invincible, the peak is overlooked, it is like ten thousand horses soaring clouds, the mountains and mountains at the foot are undulating, the forest and the sea are vast, the deep valley is secluded, the clouds are steaming and misty, the colors are gorgeous, such as entering the fairyland. In the Ming Dynasty, Shenmeng's "You Tianmu Ji" said that the four peaks are "deep, deep, secluded, lonely, strange, and beautiful six at the same time, and the ancient name is Pengcai Fairy Island, which is really not sorry, and the first strange place of this Tianmu is also." "There is a standing jade pavilion on the top of the peak, stop in the pavilion, and the scenery of the whole mountain can be seen at a glance.

The world only knows that this peak protrudes between the ravines, condescending, the cliffs are thousands of feet, and the bottom is unpredictable, but they don't know that under the cliffs, among the clouds and mist, there is a hole in the sky. Guy was the ancient immortals who opened up the cave here, and laid out the Five Elements Array, and also set up the invisible Array of Barrier Eyes, which the mortal eyes of the world could not detect at all.

Let's say that in the deep valley, there is a platform protruding from the cliff, there are several acres of square area, and a few old pines grasp the cliff below the platform. There is a cave with a height of more than one zhang behind the platform, the cave has a stone ridge, a stone gate, and the cave is written on the top of the cave with the heaven cover Dixuan Cave sky, which is also the Tianmu Cave of the legendary thirty-six small caves.

There was a boy who swept the fallen leaves on the platform with a broom, and looked up at the sky from time to time, but he was not afraid of the people who were watching from above, and they could not see it at all. In the eyes of the world, there are cliffs here, and there are occasional weeds and small pines to survive, but there is no platform at all.

There is a world in the cave, quite wide, with a radius of nearly 100 acres. There is a pool of more than ten acres in the middle, the pool is crystal clear, there are fish and turtles swimming in the pool, and there is a faint fairy spirit floating up from the bottom of the pool. The pond is surrounded by lush greenery, ancient trees with medicinal herbs. There is a wooden bridge winding on the surface of the pond, leading directly to a quaint Taoist temple.

By the pool, under a weeping willow, two Taoist priests were playing against each other.

A child-faced crane hair, high nose and wide forehead, wide sleeves and green robe, quite a fairy temperament, this person is the real person of Pingyun in Huagai Cave, the master of Yu Wanxin.

The other is as majestic as a mountain, dressed in a simple green robe, with black hair tied up at will, and a handsome face, which is actually a middle-aged beautiful man who exudes wildness in his elegance. This person is Jiang Qingzhen, the cave master of Tianmu Mountain.

Behind Jiang Qingzhen stood a young beautiful man, but there was a sense of arrogance in his body, although he was well restrained, but it still made people not want to get close to him. This person is Jiang Zihua, a disciple of Jiang Qingzhen, although he is arrogant, he also has proud capital. Seeing that he is only less than thirty years old, he is already in the innate realm, and it may not be long before he can condense his true qi and truly enter the ranks of cultivation.

Pingyun Zhenren obviously fell into a passive situation, kept pulling his beard, and finally sighed, and said: "Jiang Zhenren not only cultivated to lead me, but stepped into Jindan Avenue one step ahead of me, and even his chess skills are better than those of the poor Dao, but it is not okay to be unconvinced." ”

Jiang Qingzhen laughed when he heard this, and said: "Pingyun Zhenren is too modest, and the poor road is just a little luckier." ”

Even though he said that, Jiang Qingzhen's face still couldn't help but show a hint of pride. In Zhejiang, there are three major caves left by the ancients and nine small caves. The three major caves occupy the favor of the ancestors, and there are spiritual mountains and spiritual waters, so they are blessed with unique talents and can produce many people, and they are better than the strength of the nine small caves. Although Tianmu Cave is a small cave, it is unique in nine small caves, and its strength is faintly ahead.

One of the reasons why Tianmu Cave's strength is ahead of other small caves is that Jiang Qingzhen has already stepped into Jindan Avenue.

Seeing this, Pingyun Zhenren knew that Jiang Qing was proud, but he didn't break it, he just looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "It is rumored that in ancient times, the land was vast and rich, the flood and wilderness, the mountains and mountains, the aura was rich, the immortal law was incomparably mysterious, and the cultivation of truth was able to produce many people. But I don't know why it is now narrow and sparse, the aura is exhausted, and the ancient Taoist canon is missing. Although we don't dare to be lazy, we just live a little longer than ordinary people. ”

When Jiang Qing heard this, his mood also became a little heavy, he was able to step into Jindan Avenue, but it was because he accidentally found a piece of Bixia Stone left by his ancestors. With the help of Bixia Stone, the cultivation speed has been greatly improved, and he has recently stepped into the Jindan Avenue. But he wouldn't say it to anyone.

Pingyun Zhenren was dozens of years older than Jiang Qing, and he was already in the late stage of condensation, he saw that Jiang Qing had a proud look, for fear that he would be proud and complacent, and he would misunderstand his cultivation, so he sighed, but reminded him kindly. Seeing that Jiang Qing's mood also became heavy, the words played a role. He laughed and said: "Jiang Zhenren has married the golden pill, and he is qualified to enter Kunlun Immortal Mountain to listen to the mysterious Taoism, maybe he will be able to refine into a Yuan Baby, and then he will really be a half-immortal body, go to heaven and earth, how free." ”

Although Jiang Qingzhen is a somewhat arrogant person among the cultivators, he is not without self-knowledge, knowing that it is difficult to cultivate to the Yuan Infant, so he sighed when he heard this: "The road of cultivation is long and endless, difficult! difficult!"

Jiang Qingzhen said three difficult words in a row, and only those of them who have been cultivating for hundreds of years can understand it.

Standing behind Jiang Qing, Jiang Zihua had a look of disbelief in his eyes, but he didn't say much.

While the two were sighing, the sound of cranes chirping came from outside the cave.

"It must be Zhao Ye of the Xiandu Cave Heaven who has arrived. Jiang Qingdao put away his emotion, and walked out of the cave as he spoke.

The boy who swept the floor looked up at the sky, but he heard the crane chirping, but did not see the crane coming. Strangely, I heard the sound of birds flapping their wings, and then I saw the clouds and mist rolling in the valley, and suddenly there was a Taoist priest riding a crane and a sword Taoist priest.

The sword priest looked like the crane's two bony feet, so thin that it seemed that the wind could blow him down, but his appearance was thin and kind, and he had the taste of a master. On the crane is a young Taoist priest, with a slender figure, a face like a crown of jade, and lips like grease, a bit like a little white face.

The thin and tall old Taoist priest was the Zhao Ye Zhenren of the Xiandu Cave Heaven that Jiang Qing said in his mouth, and the little white face was his apprentice Lin Chongshan.

"Daoyou is late. "Pingyun Zhenren and Zhao Yezhen have always been better, so when they got out of the cave door, they greeted them with a smile.

"It's not late, it's not late, I'm the second to arrive in the Nine Little Caves. "Although Zhao Zhizhen is tall and thin, his voice is very loud.

"Zhao Zhenren, don't come unharmed!" Jiang Qing stepped forward and saluted with one hand.

Zhao Zhizhen hurriedly returned the salute and said: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but in a blink of an eye, Daoyou has stepped into Jindan Avenue before me, which is gratifying." ”

Jiang Qing hurriedly took a modest look, but his smug look was revealed a little, and then he introduced Zhao Yezhen's master and apprentice into the cave mansion.

After entering the cave, the three of them sat down at a stone table by the pool, and Jiang Zihua took the initiative to pour tea.

Seeing Lin Chongshan standing behind Zhao Ye, Pingyun Zhenren said with a smile: "I didn't expect that after a few years, your disciples are as tall as you." ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, he said, "Hey, why didn't Wanxin's little girl come?"

Now that the aura is depleted, the treasures of heaven and earth are very rare. Even if a cultivator accepts disciples, there are generally no more than two, and even if a disciple receives too much, even if he has the intention to cultivate, but the resources in his hands are limited and he can't afford to waste it, but he is also powerless. Because there are only one or two disciples, when they travel to listen to the Tao or exchange cultivation experience, they will take their disciples with them and cultivate them wholeheartedly, so that after their death, the disciples can inherit their mantle and continue to pass on the Dao.

This time, Jiang Qingzhen had to step into Jindan Avenue, so he opened the altar and invited the cave masters of the Nine Little Caves in Zhejiang to exchange Jindan Avenue. For such a big event, generally speaking, disciples will be brought here, so Zhao Ye will have this question.

When Pingyun Zhenren heard this, he pointed to the crane standing beside Zhao Ye in a human-like manner, and said, "I don't have such a good opportunity as you, I have a crane to take advantage of, so I have to let the little girl go down the mountain and come by herself." ”

Zhao Yezhen touched the shiny white feathers of the crane quite proudly when he heard this, then twisted his beard and said, "You are so willing to let the little girl rush to Tianmu Mountain alone, it seems that you want her to have a training experience in the world." If I'm not mistaken, this girl is about to break the acquired and congenital. You are afraid that her heart is too pure, so let her go on such a trip. ”

Pingyun Zhenren pointed at Zhao Ye Zhenren with a smile and said, "I can't hide anything from you old guy." ”

Zhao Ye sighed when he heard this: "You have accepted a good apprentice, that girl has a lot of fairy roots, and she should be able to set foot on Jindan Avenue." ”

Jiang Zihua, who was standing behind Jiang Qingzhen, had a faint look of disapproval in his eyes.

Hearing this, Pingyun Zhenren stroked his beard, pointed to Jiang Zihua behind Jiang Zhenren, and said, "But I don't dare to say these words in front of Jiang Zhenren, this disciple of his can really be called an immortal root." ”

Zhao Ye had actually seen Jiang Zihua a long time ago, although he was shocked that this son was talented, but he didn't like him to be arrogant, so he didn't mention him, and now when he saw Pingyun Zhenren mention it, it was not good to turn a blind eye anymore, and said: "You have all accepted good apprentices." ”

Lin Chongshan blushed when he heard this, and lowered his head in shame. Jiang Zihua was quite proud in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Although Chongshan's talent is not as good as Wanxin and Zihua, he is down-to-earth and persevering. It is very important for us to go against the heavens when we cultivate the truth. Pingyun Zhenren said solemnly.

When Lin Chongshan heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Pingyun Zhenren with some gratitude.
