Vol 2 Chapter 27: Dongfu

Jinhong Mountain stands proudly in the sea. It was favored by Gan Jingcheng, the founder of the Lingxiaozong 10,000 years ago. The establishment of the mountain was founded here, and thus laid the foundation for inheriting ten thousand years of cultivation. Today, Lingxiaozong is one of the four famous gates in the world, and its strength is unfathomable. The masters in the sect are gathered like clouds and geniuses and are admired by the world. Jinhong Mountain is also known as the first mountain in the south of Hongmeng. One of the few top spiritual places.
The whole Jinhong Mountain is huge, and there are hundreds of islands of various sizes around the mountain range scattered in the surrounding waters, like stars arching over the moon, clustering around this fairy mountain in the sea. According to the rules passed down by the Lingxiaozong for many years, the disciples of the new entry must go to Qingyu Island to practice. Only the disciples who are talented and intelligent can break through to the Ningyuan realm will be truly admitted to the mountain gate, set foot on the Golden Rainbow Lingshan, and be recognized by the Lingxiaozong as a direct disciple. It is really embarked on the road of Xiuxian.
Wannian Foundation, the management of countless generations, Jinhongshan is now naturally complete with many items. You are the top figures in the sect, and the place where you live is also unique, although There are no counts, but the highest point of Jinhong Mountain is also the top third of the mountain with the most aura. Almost all of these cave houses were cleanly repaired by these big real people, and of course there are some important palace buildings.
In addition, the large area of ​​mountain peaks in the middle is located, and there are many pavilions, pavilions, and many halls, including the main halls of the main halls in the Zongmen and many places and buildings. Layers are stacked here, which is extremely lively on weekdays. The location is also the center of activity for everyone in the High Sect.
As for the land on the bottom third of the mountain peaks, there are also beautiful and verdant mountains. There are numerous cave houses built, where thousands of direct disciples under the Lingxiao Sect live and practice daily. Large or small mountain trails connect them one by one, leading from all directions to the heights of Jinhong Mountain. In this spiritual and peaceful spiritual mountain, each of them is cultivating and courageously on the road of Xiu Xian that belongs to only. before.
There are no weak people on Jinhong Mountain. This is an old saying that has been handed down many years ago. People who can set foot on this spiritual mountain are at least the Taoist realm of the Ningyuan realm, and the disciples of the Lingxiaozong who are listed in the four righteousness of the world, their Taoism They are almost always better than casual cultivators of the same realm, so this sentence has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In his early years, Shen Shi had practiced on Qingyu Island under Jinhong Mountain for five years. He knew a little bit about the situation in Zongmen. In addition, he walked down from the top of the mountain. Du Tiejian also gave him a rough explanation of the situation on Jinhong Mountain. It can be regarded as a little bottomed in my heart.
But when I walked down this road, I didn’t feel that when I was at the top of the mountain, once I reached the middle section of Lingshan, as the number of halls and pavilions increased, the number of disciples dressed in the costumes of the Lingxiao sect suddenly increased. In front of my eyes, or standing upright in the distance, behind the verdant and vigorous ancient woods in the distance, there are more temples revealed. Countless Lingxiaozong disciples come and go on this huge mountain. Needless to say, every one At least they have the realm of the Ning Yuan realm, and there are a few disciples who have the spirit of self-control and extraordinary momentum, and vaguely have the demeanor of the spirit, just take one to the outside of the sect.
And in the process of passing by, Shen Shi finally really saw Du Tiejian's position in the High Sky Sect. Almost all the High Sky Sect disciples knew him, and the greetings were endless, including those disciples of Shen Yijing who watched the Taoism profoundly. The same is true, and Du Tiejian looked carefree, haha ​​smiled, beckoning casually, and walked easily.
Of course, many people noticed Shen Shi next to Du Tiejian. When it didn't take much effort to see that Shen Shi's realm was still the Qi Refining realm, many people were surprised, but perhaps it was Du Tiejian. The face was big enough to survive the scene, surprised to surprise, but no one came out to ask specifically along the way.
As for the little black pig following Shen Shi, it was also seen by many people, but almost no one would take a second look. For monks, keeping monsters as pets is not particularly unusual. On this Jinhong Mountain, along the way, Shen Shi also saw many people with pets that were more weird than black pigs.
In this way, Du Tiejian took Shen Shi through the middle of this lively and prosperous mountain, and by the way pointed out some important halls outside the building, and took Shen Shi to the mountain where most of the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect occupied the largest area. Next paragraph.
The scenery here is also beautiful. Looking from the mountain road, you can see the vast blue waves of the distant sea. Many islands are inlaid in the beautiful sea like pearls. The fresh sea breeze is blowing on the face, which makes people's minds open. It is worthy of being the location of the famous gate of Xianshan.
Du Tiejian seemed to have a good idea. He took Shen Shi along the mountain road, walked among the lush forests, winding forward, and there were many Dongfu facades along the way. However, it is clear that the Lingxiaozong here already values ​​the privacy of each in the cultivation, just casually. The distance between the two nearest cave houses is at least several tens of feet, which is completely different from the row of cave houses that were close together on Qingyu Island back then. Depending on the topography of the mountains, some cave houses are either yin or yang, or go out to see the sea, or are hidden deep in mountain valleys and forests, some stand on dangerous cliffs, and some rest on gentle slopes of flat ground.
And when we arrived at the place where this kind of cave mansion gathered, the surrounding area was immediately clearer. People were rare. Birds sang quietly among the ancient trees and green pines. The stone gate was closed. The Xianjia cave mansion was silent, and I don’t know what it was behind the stone gate of the cave mansion. What kind of masters have different stories.
Just listen to Du Tiejian saying in the front: "Now the number of disciples in the mountain is more than two thousand. They all have their own caves. The rules on the mountain are different from those on Qingyu Island. I almost told you on the road just now. Although your situation is different and somewhat special, it is precisely because of this that it is more likely to attract criticism, so do you think about what you should do in the future?"
Seeing Du Tiejian turning his head, Shen Shi nodded lightly, with a calm expression, and said, "Thank you, brother, for your mention. I think I know what to do."
Du Tiejian glanced at him, nodded slightly and said nothing, leading him on a mountain road, and then came to a mountain wall in a valley and stopped outside a cave. I saw that this place was very quiet, and there didn’t seem to be many cave houses around. The nearest one was fifty feet away, and almost all the cave houses in this valley were closed by stone gates, and the door was full. With dead branches and leaves, it seems that few people live and practice here.
There is only one exception, that is, at a place more than fifty feet away from Shenshi Dongfu. Although the stone gate is also closed, the trail in front of the Dongfu is very clean. When passing by the cave house, Du Tiejian's footsteps obviously stopped for a while, and his eyes seemed to stare at the stone gate inadvertently for a moment, but besides that, he didn't do any more actions, just walked gently. This quiet and silent cave house.
When the two came to Shenshi’s cave house, they saw a dense forest above the cave house. There were many ancient trees and old vines. It looked lush and luxuriant. In front of the cave house, besides a mountain road, there was a hillside. The grass is like a blanket of green grass, diagonally downward. If somewhere else it might be a good cave with a wide view, but in front of this mountain wall, there is a majestic mountain that stands proudly, directly blocking all sights ahead, even the sun is rare to fall, plus the bottom of the valley below the in front of the cave , There is a small stream flowing by, and the sound of water is coming from upstream. In a blink of an eye, white water splashes all over. It seems that there is a small waterfall hidden behind the dense bushes, making the surroundings of this cave look very shady Damp.
This is obviously not a good cultivation cave. It is cold and quiet, with too much yin qi and even insufficient yang qi. However, when Du Tiejian turned back and looked at Shen Shi, Shen Shi's face did not show the slightest disgust, but a little bit With a calm smile, he nodded at him.
Du Tiejian threw it away and lost something. Shen Shi stretched out his hand to catch it. He only felt familiar. After a moment, he remembered, isn't this the kind of cloud charm he used to use back then?
Du Tiejian pointed to the stone gate of the cave mansion, Shen Shi pondered for a moment, walked over, recalling the time when he was on Qingyu Island, and then gently pressed the cloud symbol against the stone gate.
A thick layer of fallen leaves carried the subtle breath of the valley and forest, and made a soft sound under his feet, and after a while, as the light on the cloud talisman lit up, a low voice came from behind the stone gate. Then, the two stone gates slowly opened, revealing a silent and silent cave house in front of Shen Shi and Du Tiejian.
Du Tiejian walked in with him, and at the same time said faintly: "Most cave houses on the mountain are similar in specifications, but the difference is that they are located in different locations. Generally speaking, the sect disciples will live in a cave for a long time unless they make great contributions. Change the cave again."
Shen Shi walked into Shimen, looked around quietly, and looked at this stone room that he might live in for an unknown number of years in the future. Compared to the cave house on Qingyu Island before, the cave house in front of him is obviously more expensive. Much larger, the outer room where the entrance was located was as big as the entire cave house that day.
In the front, there are still five stone gates, revealing that there is still more room inside.
Du Tiejian smiled and led him forward, while explaining to him one by one: "Outside this is a stone room for meeting guests, and it is also a place for handling some chores. There are five stone rooms inside, of different sizes, each of which is useful, but you It may not be available now."
As he said, he walked to the stone room on the far left and said: "This is your bedroom. You should be here for daily life and cultivation."
Having said that, he seemed to have thought of something again, turning his head and saying to Shen Shi: "Although you are staying on the mountain now, the rules of the sect will not be changed for you, but all the rules on this mountain are in accordance with at least Ning Yuan. I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult for you to come from the Dao Xing realm of the realm, so you’d better break through the Ning Yuan realm as soon as possible." After a pause, his voice seemed to be lowered, and he said, "Look back and take it. This cloud symbol, go to the mountain alchemy hall, someone will give you a spirit pill, and you may take it when you break through, and it may be a little helpful."
Shen Shi's heart jumped. For the monk, breaking the realm is the top priority, and the value of the spirit pill that can help breaking the realm is simply self-evident. This favor is really not small, but I don't know it is a master The command of the real Huaiyuan is still the favor of this brother Du, but Du Tiejian did not seem to mean to elaborate, and Shen Shi did not ask any more, just sincerely said: "Thank you, brother."
Du Tiejian waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal. Compared to the other high and deep realms, it is still the easiest to refining energy to the Ningyuan realm. Some aristocratic children actually take it, but the effect is different. . But if the realm is higher, then the pill will be a treasure of heaven and earth, and it is invaluable, even I have never seen it. By the way, I heard that there are many newcomers in Dantang, you used to Maybe you will meet some of your friends back then. Don’t forget the reasons we’ve said before."
Shen Shi was silent for a moment, smiled and nodded, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry."
