Chapter 656 The Fifth Patriarch Climbing the Mountain

Fengchan Mountain is ten thousand feet high, with an evil valley below that seems to lead to the underworld, and a dangerous peak that reaches straight to the sky.

In addition to being steep, it also has the aura of kingship. It is like the Great Seal that determines the world. It is located in the northern region of China. Since the saint king of the human race was enshrined in Zen in ancient times, it has represented that the human race's Taoism can not fall down and is like the one who holds the heaven and establishes the Taoism. One of the five great pillars of luck, together with the Penglai Pavilion on the fairy island in the east, the Baiyu Jing in the sky in the south, the Kunlun Yaochi in the west, and the Xuanwu God in the middle, they support the Chinese Taoist tradition at its peak.

In the dojo where ancient immortals lectured on the top of Fengchan Mountain, there is a bronze tripod that is nine feet high and nine feet in diameter, with three legs and two ears. This tripod has no divine power and is not a weapon, but it is filled with sacred incense. , there are hundreds of them, each branch is burning with green smoke, curling up like invisible luck, unpredictable and invisible, responding to the sky above and connecting to the Taoism below.

On the way through the dojo on the top of the mountain, there is a rugged road winding up, with nine turns. At each turn, a burst can be laid. At the last step leading to the dojo, there is another burst, totaling The ten formations are an ancient tradition in the northern region of China. Anyone who wants to lead the path to Fengchan Immortal and put an incense stick on the bronze tripod in the ancient immortal's sermon dojo must go through these ten formations.

At this time, at the foot of Fengchan Mountain, in front of a grand stone gate that had stood for who knows how many years, all the five elders of Daxue Mountain had arrived, kneeling on futons, facing the ancient immortal dojo at the top of Fengchan Mountain, and bowed three times and nine times. Kowtow, and behind them, there are many young disciples from Nanzhan, all with solemn expressions. As the five elders pay homage, their expressions are solemn, and invisible pressure is lifted.

On both sides of the stone gate, the Taoist Master of Chunyang Dao sat on the right side, and the Taoist masters of Yinling Dao and Fuqi Dao sat on the right side, quietly waiting for the five elders to finish their worship.

"Five returning Taoist friends, with a stick of incense on the Fengchan Mountain, you can be a Taoist priest in the Divine State. No one will ever regard you as barbarians. How many juniors do you want to send to the Taoist tradition? As long as you can tolerate it, I will go to the north. The Taoists in the domain will not interfere, and even the juniors who have joined other Taoisms before, and their petitions are powerful, can return to the Nanzhan Taoism with the permission of their elders, and no one will stop them without reason!"

The Taoist Master of Chunyang Dao spoke calmly and explained the rules of establishing the Tao. The five elders and the few Nanzhan juniors who were watching the ceremony all listened quietly. Some of the simple-minded people could not restrain their expressions when they heard these words. Joy appears.

"It's just that you need to go through ten formations to go up the mountain and show your cultivation. Only after passing through these ten formations can you be qualified to establish a path in the northern region. If you can't pass through this formation, even I can't help you. These ten formations are all According to ancient rituals, we, the Three Daomen, and several other sects’ Jindan Realm elders or true disciples will guard you. If you are defeated, you can admit defeat in advance, and those disciples will not embarrass you!”

The Master of Chunyang Dao spoke calmly again and talked about the ten formation rules.

The Taoist Master of Fuqi Dao whispered with a sharp smile: "If you can't get through, don't hold on, or you will lose your life in vain!"

"Senior Sister Li...this...these ten formations are dangerous, right?"

Behind him, Ye Guyin suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and couldn't help but look at Li Hongyi beside him.

Beside her, a girl in Tsing Yi holding a guzheng in her arms and a girl wearing a flowing cloud water robe with a slim figure but a dull expression leaned towards her nervously. The cultivation level of the two girls is not high. Now they are only at the peak of foundation building. They are still one step away from breaking through the golden elixir and reaching the sky. They are also timid and cannot see the situation clearly.

"A few seniors made it very easy, but I also think it's not that simple..."

Even Li Hongyi was a little nervous at this time, sighed softly, and looked straight at the gate of Fengchan Mountain.

"I have lived for more than a thousand years, and my life is short. It is not death where I die. I don't know if all the disciples have the ability to take away my old life. Haha, four old friends, let's go now. , I will open the way for you..."

The weird-haired old monster Wan Luo stood up with a loud smile, straightened his robes, and was about to take a big step forward.

"Wait a minute, old friend. You'd better use your old and tough spear at the back!"

At this moment, the old man Hu Qin grabbed the old man Wanluo and said with a smile: "The ten formations of Fengchan are more difficult than the last. The further behind you are, the more difficult and dangerous it is. You have contributed in the front, don't you have an advantage? I Having been the number one person in the Chu Territory for hundreds of years, I have returned this title to you. In addition, you have extensive practice and know far more than us. For the first few formations, let’s raid the formations first!”

As he spoke, the old man Hu Qin glanced at the faces of the other three old friends, seeming to be thinking about something.

"I will take the lead in this first battle!"

Wearing a sword robe, Long Jianting, the master of the Daxue Mountain Sword Xianyuan, who looked a hundred years younger, stood up. In the sword box behind him, dragons roared loudly. He looked at Fengchan Mountain in front of him, which was mostly hidden in the clouds and mist. He lowered his head. He sighed loudly: "I claim to be an extraordinary swordsman. I have never married, I have no descendants, and I am stuck in my own ways. I have never been to Nanzhan, I have never been to the Demon Abyss to fight, and I have never been to the Demonic Sunset Desert to understand the vastness of the sword. It can be said that I have many regrets. I finally accepted a disciple at my old age. She is very talented and far better than me. I originally thought that this would be the only thing I am proud of in my life. But who would have expected that she would become a disciple not long after she came to China? …”

When he said this, there was already some sadness in his voice. After a pause, he suppressed the sadness in his voice and said loudly: "Girl in red, if I die, I hope you can help me find Xiao Xue." Disciple, try... to cure her!"

After that, he didn't hesitate and strode forward.

Li Hongyi said in a trembling voice: "Senior, don't worry, I will find Junior Sister Xiao even if I travel all over China!"

"Among the five elders, I am the youngest, so let me break into this first battle and explore the way for the older brothers!"

"Whoosh!"

Long Jianting opened his right hand, and the sword box behind him flew into the air. Then the purple bamboo box broke open and a sword jumped into his hand.

"Ci'er, ancestor knows your thoughts. I often scolded you before, but from now on, ancestor, I will never scold you no matter whether I am alive or dead. I know that you are actually very diligent, and maybe your talent is not as good as that of Huang'er. ...Forget it, in fact, your talent is not bad, but your temper is weak. If you become enlightened in the future and your cultivation level is much stronger than that of our ancestors and your imperial brother, you can decide your own path in the future!"

Chu Taishang specially put on an imperial robe, stood with his hands behind his back, and gave instructions behind his back.

"Ancestor, Ci'er understands, Ci'er has always understood..."

Behind him, Chu Ci, who was wearing a flowing cloud water robe, choked up and agreed, and Yingying fell to the ground.

Chu Taishang hesitated for a long time, wanting to say something, but in the end he shook his head and did not continue.

Old Hu Qin had two disciples behind him, but he didn't say much. The gray-haired man seemed to be full of pride at this moment. He only paused for a moment before waving to Ye Guyin and Ying Qiaoqiao who were hesitant to speak. , said softly: "Teacher, I will give you the last lesson. I was not a rule-abiding person when I was young. I broke many rules and regulations to make a living. But I, the teacher, thought to myself that it was ridiculous for a moment. I was just young and frivolous, and acted arrogantly. It’s nothing more than small details, as long as the righteousness is upheld, it will be worthy of the hearts of the people and worthy of heaven and earth!”

The old eyes fell on Ying Qiaoqiao's face: "Disciple, if you hate him, scold him, beat him, or even kill him, but don't hide from him, and don't keep your resentment in your heart, so as not to hurt the Taoist heart and forget it. If it falls, just let nature take its course and don’t make it difficult for yourself!”

Ying Qiaoqiao suddenly burst into tears, her body went limp, she knelt on the ground, hugged the old man Hu Qin's legs, and cried loudly.

"I gave you this Taoist book, so I really have nothing to hide..."

Not far away, Zhang Daoyi also secretly handed a formation diagram to Hou Guimen and said slightly embarrassed.

"I secretly made a rubbing myself a long time ago..."

Hou Guimen's eyes were also red and swollen, he whispered, and Zhang Daoyi blew his beard in anger.

Old Monster Wanluo looked around, but there was no one to say goodbye. He had no choice but to get in front of Old Hu Qin and said to Qiaoqiao: "You can beat him, you can scold him, but don't kill him... The best way is to follow him and eat his food. Drink from him, give birth to a few more babies for him, and annoy him to death every day..." Then he moved closer to Chu Taishang, looked at Chu Ci who was kneeling and sobbing, and whispered: "The same goes for you!"

Zhu Nanzhan, a junior, was already crying into a ball at this time. He was inexplicably sad and sad, but he felt powerless.

Their cultivation levels are as high as the threshold of the Golden Core. The most powerful ones are only like Li Hongyi, but they are in the middle realm of the Golden Core and are not enough to break through the ten formations of Fengchan Mountain. Furthermore, they Four years ago, they joined various sects in China. The life lamps were all in the hands of the sects, but they could not interfere at all. Otherwise, the sect behind them could use the sect rules to restrain them immediately and prevent them from resisting.

The five elders of Daxue Mountain also looked at each other and smiled after explaining the funeral arrangements.

"Fellow Taoists, look south as we stand on the road. We are the Fifth Patriarch. The opportunity to be famous for eternity is before us. Shall we leave now?"

"Well, I was a frog in the well before, but now I want to learn the secret method of China!"

"Old Hu Qin, you said that old monster Wan Luo is the number one in Chu Territory. I am not convinced..."

"Chu Taishang, you are an old bastard. You have been plotting your whole life. If you have the ability, show me your real skills now?"

Wu Lao walked straight up along a rugged and winding path behind the mountain gate that led to the top of the mountain, laughing and shouting, his voice gradually getting lower.

"Haha, let me show you my real skills first. Once you pass the barrier, I will fight to protect the formation!"

About three miles above the trail, the first turning point is shrouded in a cloud of smoke, with uncertain mysteries and strong sword intentions. It is the first formation of the ten formations in Fengchan Mountain, and it is also the first level. The five elders came to this formation. Before the first pass, Long Jianting of the Daxue Mountain Sword-Cleaning Academy laughed loudly and was the first to shout: "Looking south to Chu Territory, the master of the Daxue Mountain Sword-Cleaning Academy, Long Jianting, comes to knock on the pass!"

In the smoke, an old voice also came out: "The Yun Family of Kuhai, ordered the great elder Yun Yao to lead a hundred sword cultivators to guard the gate here!"

"Yun family?"

Long Jianting was startled for a moment, a look of joy flashed across his face, and he whispered: "Disciple, your luck as a teacher is good!"
