Chapter 186: Visiting Mount Juqu (Please vote for monthly tickets on the last day)

From the Yang Palace to the Huang Ting, walking through twenty-one apertures, passing through the mansion once, plowing the court and opening the apertures, casting the pill furnace.

And the yellow dragon true malevolence was tempered all the way, passing through apertures and mansions, and finally adapted to this small world of the inner landscape. Now it is swimming leisurely in the Huang Ting, just waiting for the green tiger to enter the court, the dragon and tiger to intersect, and form a Golden Core.

Cheng Xinzhan let out a sigh of relief.

Over these five years, he had read the "Zhou Tian Hundred Apertures Huangting Neijing Jing" and its annotations passed down by Mingzhi Mountain countless times, and he had also extensively read various inner aperture Daoist scriptures recorded in the Shangqing Register. In addition, he had read many medical classics, only then setting this route for walking malevolence and opening apertures one by one.

And judging from the fact that the yellow dragon walking through the apertures and plowing the court was so smooth, it also confirmed that his vision for selecting apertures and setting lines was not bad. When introducing the rain Gang into the court later, he would follow this line of thinking, which should also be a matter of course. In this way, the impact of insufficient accumulation in the Second Realm could be reduced to a minimum.

A huge stone in his heart was put down. Subsequently, with a thought, in the Purple Palace, "Feidu" among the seven spirits flew out from the Purple Palace and transformed into a god-scale with a human face and fish body, golden pupils and white scales, long hair and double tails. This is the appearance of a "Ling Fish".

Legend has it that the Ling Fish is kind-hearted. When swimming past river dams, it will save those who fall into the water when it hears calls for help, will save those who drown when it encounters them, and will actively repair waterways to avoid river silt and dam destruction. In places with dense water and marshes, many people use the Ling Fish as a totem.

After the Ling Fish came out of the Purple Palace, it came to the left eye Yang Palace and traveled through the meridians and apertures along the route that the true malevolence yellow dragon had walked, swimming and stopping, carefully checking these apertures to see if the true malevolence had left any hidden injuries or hidden dangers.

Fortunately, everything was as usual.

After taking back the cold mercury in each aperture, Cheng Xinzhan opened his eyes.

The four at the door were still guarding. Cheng Xinzhan stood up, walked out of Wuyou Cave, and asked,

"How long has it been?"

"Senior Brother, it has been nine full days."

Cheng Xinzhan was somewhat surprised. He thought it had only been an hour or two.

"Senior Brother, look."

Gu Xinshu pointed to the yellow clouds in the sky.

Cheng Xinzhan took a look and found that these yellow clouds were only within the Cloud Forbidden Formation of Mount Sanqing, and could not be seen outside. He thought it should be the Hong Jiaozhu's effort.

"You also need to be faster. I let you open the Fire Mansion first. Five years have passed, and there is still no movement. On the contrary, the Water Mansion opened naturally when you were sleeping. If you still can't open the Fire Mansion within a year, I will have to use the mountain-suppressing ruler of our Mingzhi Mountain to teach you on behalf of Master."

Cheng Xinzhan said with a straight face.

As for the mountain-suppressing ruler, there wasn't one before, but now Cheng Xinzhan said there was, so there was.

Gu Xinshu was startled, and her eyebrows were pulled into an eight-character shape.

"Xinzhan, come to the Three Pure Ones Palace."

At this moment, Ji Hehe's voice suddenly sounded in Cheng Xinzhan's ear.

Cheng Xinzhan said something to the few in front of him and flew toward Pingding Mountain.

When he arrived at the Three Pure Ones Palace, he found that besides the Hong Jiaozhu, Dong Shouren, the Vice Hong Jiaozhu of the Yuan Yin Palace, and Huo Jingyan, the Master of the External Affairs Court, were also there.

Cheng Xinzhan stepped forward to bow.

Ji Hehe greeted Cheng Xinzhan to come over and said,

"I told you before about going to Mount Juqu to thank them. Now you have successfully plowed the court with 'Yellow Pole Zhengwu Malevolence' and induced celestial phenomena, and the movement was quite large. Those yellow clouds were only what you saw. In addition, there were anomalies in the earth veins, but they were covered up by me. But the movement underground definitely couldn't be hidden from Mount Juqu, so it's better to take this opportunity to visit."

Ji Hehe said straight to the point.

Dong Shouren and Huo Jingyan both looked over. This young man always gave them surprises time and time again.

"Xinzhan started eating Qi at fifteen and plowed the court at thirty-four. It has only been nineteen years. He should be number one on the Nandou List."

Huo Jingyan said with a smile.

Cheng Xinzhan listened and gave a wry smile, "Xinzhan is ashamed."

He did not dare to be arrogant. He had a clear conscience about the Eating Qi List and the Palace Rushing List, but he actually stole progress on the Plowing Court List. In the sect, many people plowed the court and formed the core only after the Twelve Main Meridians were opened.

"There is no need to be ashamed. Cultivation is a matter that, if it were completely routine and uniform, would be really boring. Build the frame first, climb high and look far, and then look back to do some brick-laying and fine-carving work. I don't see any problem with that."

Dong Shouren said.

Cheng Xinzhan said yes, and Ji Hehe and Huo Jingyan also smiled and nodded.

It seems that the elders in the sect guessed his future path just by seeing his plowing court phenomenon.

"Your Shangqing Register and true malevolence were both taught by True Person Chengchu. By rights, I should lead you to thank them personally. However, I am not very suitable to go out recently, so Shouren will go on my behalf."

Ji Hehe looked at Dong Shouren, who nodded in agreement.

"In addition, Shouren, Xinzhan is about to form the core and is so proficient in the Inner Landscape Dharma. You can talk to Mount Juqu. If you do a good deed to the end, can you borrow the "Huang Ting Huangting Neijing Jing" or the "Shangqing Great Cave True Classic" for Xinzhan to read? If that side is willing, after Xinzhan forms the core, we can open a branch in the mountain, with Xinzhan as the Mountain Master, and encourage disciples to practice the Inner Landscape Method. When the time comes, if good seedlings are found, they can be cultivated by both sects, as external disciples of one side, also bearing the responsibility of preaching and defending the Dao."

Dong Shouren nodded. There was a precedent for this kind of path on Mount Sanqing, and it was not an isolated case.

Ji Hehe looked at Cheng Xinzhan and Huo Jingyan again,

"By rights, your Master should not be absent this time, but I don't know where Suku is, and I can't contact her, so I will ask Jingyan to go on her behalf. The gifts will be provided by the sect. Jingyan, you can handle it, but 'Heavy Clouds Covering Heaven Gang' must bring three taels."

Huo Jingyan said yes with a smile.

"This is the first thing. The second thing is, recently the demonic path has been moving frequently, and the three demonic sects are becoming more and more closely connected. On the contrary, our righteous path is still fighting on its own. The Shangqing Sect intends to take the lead and establish a temporary Eastern Daoist Sect Alliance, mainly to actively defend and strike against the Southern sect and the coast. Shouren, after you go over, express our attitude and say that Mount Sanqing will fully cooperate. After talking, Jingyan, you can also publicize this attitude of ours to let other sects hear it and promote this matter as soon as possible."

Dong Shouren and Huo Jingyan both said yes.

"Xinzhan, after you go, don't rush back. We don't know much about the Inner Landscape Dharma, so take the opportunity to ask more over there. In addition, you are at the juncture of Core Formation recently, and they have a lot of research on Golden Core Dharma images, so you can learn more."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded and said yes.

"Good, then prepare to go."

Thus, the three of them got up and left, but Huo Jingyan agreed to set off tomorrow morning. Dong Shouren and Cheng Xinzhan had no objections.

The next morning, Cheng Xinzhan arrived at the mountain gate and saw that a great formation had been prepared here. This time, the flying magic weapon was the Ten-Mile Auspicious Cloud specially made by the Yin-Suppressing Mountain, which was full of gifts.

Huo Jingyan was already on the cloud, doing the final verification and counting. Not long after Cheng Xinzhan arrived, Hong Jiaozhu Dong also arrived. Huo Jingyan had just verified it correctly, and then they set off. The Ten-Mile Auspicious Cloud emitted seven-colored rays of light, which was very ostentatious and eye-catching along the way, crossing the entire Qingzhou and arriving in Jin Ling territory.

Mount Juqu is southeast of the Ming Southern Capital, not very far from the King's Capital. But the periphery of this immortal mountain has high mountains, dense forests, and clouds and mist, blocking the mortal world's red dust and mortal tourists outside the immortal mountain.

The periphery of the immortal mountain has a formation. Mortal hunters living nearby enter the mountain from the south, and after ten miles, they will exit the mountain from the north. Even on the most detailed map of the Great Ming Dynasty, this place is only a mountain forest no more than ten miles north to south and three or four miles east to west, and there are only a few Daoist temples on the mountain forest.

But in the high sky where mortals also cannot see, the Ten-Mile Auspicious Cloud flew directly over the peripheral obstacles and approached Mount Juqu.

Mount Juqu's mountain trend is gentle, with long ridges winding. There are no high peaks or cliffs, and no nine-day flying waterfalls. But at this moment, the morning sun was soaking Mount Juqu, and visible mysterious yellow earth Qi was steaming up from the ground, one bundle after another, like a gauze curtain woven with gold threads, and like golden lotuses growing from the ground.

The earth Qi condensed into yellow clouds above the mountain top. Also in this place, the mountain top was full of green pines dozens of feet high, not knowing whether they were naturally generated or built by immortals. The crown leaves of these tall green pines were in groups, like green clouds. The green clouds and yellow clouds dotted together, forming a different kind of two-colored cloud sea.

Above the green clouds, many cultivators could be seen sitting cross-legged, eating yellow clouds and ingesting morning glow, with immortal Qi wisps.

It really confirms the saying, "The mountain is not high, but it is spiritual if there are immortals."

The Ten-Mile Auspicious Cloud approached, and Mount Juqu obviously had already received the news. Luo Jishi of spiritual lights flew up from the tips of the green pines to welcome them.

"Vice Hong Jiaozhu Shouren, long time no see."

"True Person Nengyue, greetings."

!

Among those who came to welcome them from the Shangqing Sect, a Daoist walked out and greeted Dong Shouren.

Cheng Xinzhan, who was behind Dong Shouren, recognized at a glance that this True Person Nengyue was the Daoist who recommended him to True Person Chengchu and suggested granting him the Shangqing Register at the Three Corpses Island. His inner landscape god was a City God.

"True Person Nengyue, I am ordered by my Hong Jiaozhu to visit the immortal mountain, firstly to greet True Person Chengchu, and secondly to thank your sect for your care and guidance to our junior."

Dong Shouren turned sideways, letting out Cheng Xinzhan and the gifts behind him.

Cheng Xinzhan bowed to the crowd of the Shangqing Sect, saying,

"Greetings, True Person Nengyue and fellow Daoists."

In the Daoist sect, the low realm calls the high realm. Although they can be collectively called Daoist, sometimes for respect and distinction, the Third Realm Golden Core is often called Feather Master, the Fourth Realm Nascent Soul is called Xuanzai, and the Fifth Realm Harmony Dao is called True Person.

True Person Nengyue stepped forward, helped Cheng Xinzhan up, and blamed him,

"True Person Hehe is too polite. Our Hong Jiaozhu has said many times that passing the Shangqing Register to Xinzhan was asking for his help, not a favor to him. Letting this child take the Earthly Malevolence was also to break the demonic path's Dharma formation at that time. It is really not worth thanking. Moreover, that Vice Hong Jiaozhu Shouren and fellow Daoists can visit, we are already overjoyed. Why bring these things?"

What True Person Nengyue said was not false, because the Shangqing Sect's recent promotion of the Eastern Daoist Sect Alliance to deal with the demonic path had attracted much criticism. Some people felt that the Shangqing Sect was making a mountain out of a molehill, and that it was normal for the demonic path to make some noise from time to time. How could it reach the point where the demonic path was counterattacking and in danger? Moreover, if they really wanted to unite the power of the Eastern Daoist Sect, the Yu Zhang Daoist Sect had not spoken yet. How could the Jin Ling Shangqing Sect take the lead?

Now, people from the Yu Zhang Daoist Sect had come, and they had come swaggeringly. They were from Mount Sanqing, which could seal most people's mouths.

"True Person Nengyue, these words are wrong. Regardless of the reason, it is a solid fact that our junior obtained a great benefit. How can we just let it go? If it gets out, wouldn't we be laughed at by the people of the world? Moreover, along the way, many fellow Daoists saw it. Do you want us to take it back?"

Dong Shouren smiled.

True Person Nengyue also smiled and nodded, no longer being polite. The people of the Shangqing Sect would not be polite, otherwise they would not take the lead in forming an alliance to kill demons. He beckoned, and the people behind him stepped forward one after another, leading the Ten-Mile Auspicious Cloud to land.

True Person Nengyue himself personally led Dong Shouren, Huo Jingyan, and Cheng Xinzhan to visit True Person Chengchu.

The place where True Person Chengchu practiced was called the Cuntian Palace. At this time, a female Daoist stood at the door, looking at the crowd with a smile, her hands forming a Dharma seal on her chest, saying,

"Fellow Daoists, you have come from afar. This poor Daoist greets you."

The crowd returned the salute one after another,

"Greetings, True Person Chengchu."

The True Person said, "We are all under the Three Pure Ones sect. Since you are here, let's offer incense first before talking about other things, how about it?"

The crowd naturally said yes.

True Person Chengchu and True Person Nengyue led the three from Mount Sanqing into the palace. As soon as they entered the palace, Cheng Xinzhan saw the two holy statues of the Supreme Dao Lord and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable enshrined in the palace.

There was an incense burner in front of the holy statues. True Person Nengyue took the incense and distributed it to everyone present, lit it with a Dharma candle, and bowed to offer incense.

Subsequently, the few people went out of the palace again, sat around the stone table under the green pines in front of the palace, and True Person Nengyue poured tea. Everyone took a sip, the sweet tea moistened their throats, and only then did they start to speak.

It was still expressing gratitude first. Dong Shouren spoke, and Cheng Xinzhan stood up to bow.

True Person Nengyue pressed Cheng Xinzhan to sit down and smiled,

"I formed a bond with little friend Xinzhan early. At that time, the West Kunlun established the Blood God Sect, and this old Daoist happened to be traveling north with his primordial spirit. Passing by there, I saw Xinzhan being captured by a demon, and happened to see him perform the illusion of mirage, conjuring several gods, which was very Daoist, shocking that demon, and also shocking me, this old man. At that time, I was still pondering when such a junior appeared in the mountain that I didn't even know, and later I found out it was a high disciple of Mount Sanqing."

Huo Jingyan was present for this matter, but he didn't know that there was a senior from the Shangqing Sect traveling with his primordial spirit at that time, so he took over the conversation and told True Person Chengchu and Vice Hong Jiaozhu Dong about the situation at that time.

Both were somewhat surprised. They didn't expect that a small cultivator in the First Realm could think of such a way to escape from the hands of a Third-Rank demon.

True Person Chengchu smiled, "Truly a young hero. It hasn't been many years, and he has cultivated from the First Realm to plowing the court. Yesterday, there was movement in the Earth Lung, and the mysterious yellow Qi was surging. This poor Daoist pinched his fingers and calculated, knowing that someone was opening the Huang Tinggong with mysterious yellow Qi, inducing anomalies. The earthquake pointed to Yu Zhang, where there is no Shangqing Dharma lineage, so I guessed it was this child."

Since it was mentioned here, Cheng Xinzhan stood up again to bow and thank him.

"This child is too polite."

The True Person smiled and pointed at Cheng Xinzhan, and said again, "You store the Prince Bingling in your body, and you have deeply obtained the god-charm of the Prince. Subduing the mysterious yellow Qi is not a difficult thing, but in my impression, the mysterious yellow Qi you collected that day was not much. You can use this to open the Huang Tinggong in one attempt, which is also rare and valuable."

Cheng Xinzhan thanked the True Person for his praise.

At this time, True Person Nengyue said again, "True Person, you only saw the Prince god-form of little friend Xinzhan that day at Three Corpses Island, but you don't know that the little friend's other god-forms are also extraordinary. Mount Sanqing takes the Inner Dan Dao as its foundation. In the First Realm, one must open the Three Mansions and Five Mansions. That day in West Kunlun, I only saw the Earth God, Fire God, Metal God, and Thunder God. The little friend should now have all the Five Elements and Wind and Thunder gods. Can you let us study them?"

They are the Fourth-Rank Xuanzai of the Shangqing Sect, and there is a Fifth-Rank True Person beside them. They want to study his inner landscape gods, which should be to take this opportunity to give some pointers. Cheng Xinzhan naturally did not hide it, summoned the Shangqing Register, and manifested the inner landscape gods one by one, letting the two inner landscape Daoist high-level experts give pointers.

Mao Star Official, Jin Qilin, Duke Bingling, East King Wood Duke, Demon-Suppressing True Monarch plus two Thunder Generals, plus a Teng Snake.

After manifesting them all once, he said, "Two Daoists, please give pointers and correct errors. In addition, there are hidden circumstances in my Water Mansion inner landscape god, so it is not convenient to manifest it outside. Please forgive me. The Wind Mansion inner landscape god's opportunity has not yet arrived, and I have not found a suitable inner landscape god."

Dong Shouren and Huo Jingyan only felt that their child was excellent before. They didn't know how extraordinary it was to practice the meditation and spirit-storing method with almost no guidance, and to have such achievements. Seeing these god-forms condensed and the Daoist rhyme spiritual, they should be extremely extraordinary, but they didn't know how extraordinary they were, because the True Person Chengchu and True Person Nengyue opposite them didn't speak for a long time.
