Pure Yang!

Chapter 272: Gods and Demons, Taiyi Sword! The Golden Toad Holds the Pearl
Qinxi Province.

Mount Zhongnan, Louguan Terrace.

It is one of the ten famous Taoist mountains in the world. It starts from Kunlun Mountain and ends at Songshan Mountain. It is blessed with beautiful scenery, magnificent and unique. Its Louguan Terrace is even known as the most blessed place in the world.

In the past, Yin Xi built a tower with grass here. When Laozi went west through Hangu Pass, he passed down the 5,000-word Tao Te Ching here. From then on, Louguantai in Zhongnan Mountain was regarded as a Taoist holy place and was known as the Immortal Capital.

As a 5A-level scenic spot, Louguantai is open to tourists, but the area behind the mountain is a forbidden area of ​​Mount Zhongnan, and even ordinary disciples are not allowed to set foot there easily.

"Brother Gu, we absolutely cannot let this matter go. If this gets out, where will the reputation of our Zhongnan Mountain be?"

In front of the Louguan Terrace, a young Taoist priest was looking towards the back mountain with a heavy voice and frosty eyes. There was a scar on his cheek, which seemed to be a new wound and the blood clot had not yet dispersed.

"Of course you can't just let it go like this, but you shouldn't underestimate yourselves. It's normal to lose to that person." Gu Chuanyin said in a deep voice.

He held a string of beads in his hand, fiddling with them with his fingers, his star-like eyes as calm as water.

As a master from Mount Zhongnan, his skills in cultivating qi are much more advanced than those of his fellow junior brothers and sisters. Even after suffering a crushing defeat, he remained calm and composed.

"Senior Brother Gu, can you tell where that man came from?" Ma De asked in a deep voice, covering the wound on his face.

He had practiced in Mount Zhongnan for nearly twenty years and had long since been promoted to the [Spiritual Master] realm. He was only one step away from [High Master], but in front of that man he couldn't even block a single glance from the other person.

Such a level of cultivation is still chilling to think about now.

"He seems to be performing the Taoist magic of Laojun Mountain." Gu Chuanyin thought for a moment and said.

As a powerful warrior with great skills, he suffered a crushing defeat but was unable to even figure out the opponent's origins. This shows that the gap between them is as insurmountable as a chasm.

"That treasure land is in the shape of a [Golden Toad Holding a Pearl]. After thousands of years, God knows what kind of treasures will be bred in it. Since it is in Qinxi Province, it is related to our Zhongnan Mountain and must not fall into the hands of others." Gu Chuanyin said in a deep voice.

The reason why he had a conflict with that person was because both parties discovered the treasure land hidden in the deep mountains and swamps at the same time. It was like a trace in the eye, and the clues finally appeared in these years.

Unfortunately, his skills were not strong enough to catch the opponent, so he could only come back to find help.

"If that person is really a disciple of Laojun Mountain..."

Gu Chuanyin subconsciously looked towards Louguantai. If the opponent was really a disciple of Laojun Mountain, he was inferior in skills. If he asked his elders to come forward, he would lose face and lose the battle. However, even if he invited masters of the same generation, it seemed that there would still be a little bit of difficulty...

"Gu Chuanyin..."

At this moment, a soft call came from a distance, pulling Gu Chuanyin back to his senses.

He looked up subconsciously and saw a woman in Taoist robes approaching gracefully. Her figure seemed to be flowing in the wind and she was close to him in the blink of an eye.

The woman had red lips, white teeth, and a graceful brow. Her figure looked even more delicate under her wide Taoist robe.

"Meng Qiwu!?" Gu Chuanyin's eyes darkened.

"I heard that you had a fight with some human beings outside and were badly defeated. Now that you are back, do you want to find An Wuyang to help you?" Meng Qiwu chuckled.

"How do you know?" Meng Chuanyin's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked at Ma De beside him.

"Brother, it wasn't me who said that. It might have been because of staying up late." Ma De hurriedly explained.

That time, there were only him, Gu Chuanyin, and Ao Ye.

"Gu Chuanyin, you don't need to ask or wait. An Wuyang will not stand up for you." Meng Qiwu said calmly.

"Why?" Gu Chuanyin frowned and asked coldly.

An Wuyang is the successor of Mount Zhongnan, and is as famous as Xia Weisheng of Mount Zhenwu and Xu Jinhuan of Mount Qingcheng. He is so talented that he is even known as Little Chongyang.

Gu Chuanyin has been following An Wuyang since he joined the sect, and they have a special relationship.

"Do you know who defeated you?" Meng Qiwu asked instead of answering.

"who?"

"You don't even know who the other party is, yet you dare to come back and ask for your safety?" Meng Qiwu sneered.

"To tell you the truth, he is the descendant of Laojun Mountain."

"The descendant of Laojun Mountain?" Gu Chuanyin's expression suddenly changed, and the figure of the young man appeared in his mind.

"Qi Delong or Qi Dongqiang?"

"The two brothers are actually the same person." Meng Qiwu said calmly.

After these words were spoken, Gu Chuanyin and Ma De showed doubts.

"You should know that kings do not meet each other. As heirs of different families, if they fight with each other, it will be a fight for the orthodoxy, which involves the destiny and incense." Meng Qiwu said in a serious voice.

"If someone like An Wuyang knew, how could he possibly do such a thing with you?"

Meng Qiwu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she subconsciously looked towards the back mountain, muttering softly: "What's more, he is now in seclusion, accepting the guidance of Uncle Master Ye, I'm afraid he won't come out in the short term."

"That kid turned out to be the successor of Laojun Mountain. No wonder... No wonder..." Ma De murmured softly, the terrifying look in his eyes still lingering in his mind.

"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Gu Chuanyin had a complicated expression.

To be honest, he didn't want to rely on the power of others. Even if he did, he only wanted to use An Wuyang's hand. But now the situation made him reluctant to give up.

"I'll go with you."

At this moment, Meng Qiwu's voice sounded again, pulling Gu Chuanyin's thoughts back from his extreme entanglement.

"You?" Gu Chuanyin suddenly raised his head with a strange look.

"Don't worry, I know that the treasure land you found is nothing more than a place where rare treasures are born. I won't compete with you for it." Meng Qiwu said lightly.

"If you don't even care about the natural treasures, then what are you looking for?" Gu Chuanyin said with a strange look on his face.

"I just want to meet the descendant of Laojun Mountain to see who is better."

As he spoke, Meng Qiwu raised his head and looked towards the depths of the mountain behind Louguantai.

"I think you just want to use the successor of Laojun Mountain to compete with Senior Brother An." Gu Chuanyin is a very capable person who can cultivate to a high level of skill. He is not a stupid person at all. He saw through Meng Qiwu's thoughts at a glance.

This woman is extremely cunning and has lofty ambitions. She may not necessarily recognize An Wuyang's identity as the successor of Mount Zhongnan.

If she could defeat the successor of Laojun Mountain, she could naturally defeat the successor of Zhongnan Mountain and seize the throne.

"You are not a match for Senior Brother An. In the whole world, only Li Changgeng from Baihe Temple is qualified to be a match for Senior Brother An." Gu Chuanyin shook his head. He had absolute confidence and blind admiration for An Wuyang.

"Whatever you say, just one sentence, will it work?" Meng Qiwu didn't want to argue with him, so he went straight to the point.

"Okay, let me see how capable you are." Gu Chuanyin said in a deep voice.

He naturally knew what Meng Qiwu was thinking. This woman not only had a high level of cultivation, but also had amazing courage. Cooperating with him was tantamount to asking him to be a witness, so that An Wuyang would know how powerful she was, without hiding anything.

"Let's go and meet the successor of Laojun Mountain." Meng Qiwu waved her hand, and everyone went down the Louguan Terrace. Just after taking a few steps, she stopped leisurely and turned to look towards the depths of the mountain behind Louguan Terrace.

"Everything is safe..."

Meng Qiwu whispered and tapped his feet lightly, as if a gust of wind was blowing forward.

……

At this time, at the back mountain of Louguantai.

"Tai Yi means the Supreme One, refining Qi and containing the truth, heaven gives birth to water..."

The faint whisper is as melodious as the sound of an ancient bell, awakening the deaf, and echoing among the stone forests in the back mountain.

A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a large bluestone. The cold winter wind was still blowing, but he was only wearing a single piece of clothing and was barefoot. The white hair on his temples swayed in the wind.

Ye Beichen, the youngest celestial master in Zhongnan Mountain, and Liu Nanxu from Zhenwu Mountain, one in the north and one in the south, are known as the "Double Heavens" and have long been among the world's great masters.

Such a brilliant person, yet he sat in the back hills of Louguantai for a full ten years.

"Everything is fine. The Taiyi Sword that I just used was the result of my ten years of meditation. You should practice it well. If you achieve something, you will surely shine in this sect." Ye Beichen said calmly.

At this moment, a young man was sitting cross-legged in front of him. He was dressed in a Taoist robe, with long hair loose and not combed into a bun. His facial features were distinct, his eyebrows were delicate, and especially his eyes, which seemed to have a trace of nobility. He was safe and sound, and he was the descendant of Mount Zhongnan.

"Taiyi Sword...Uncle Master, this method doesn't seem to be the foundation of my Zhongnan Mountain."

An Wuyang recalled the mystery of the magic sword just now. It was completely driven by the primordial spirit, the true yang turned into qi, and the qi became the sword. There was an extremely domineering aura hidden in it, which was unlike the orthodox teachings of the Xuanmen sect in Zhongnan Mountain.

"You are indeed a gifted child." Ye Beichen nodded with an admiring look.

"I have spent ten years painstakingly developing this move. I once encountered a strong enemy and survived a disaster, which is why I had this opportunity."

"A strong enemy?" An Wuyang's heart moved slightly.

He knew that his uncle had been keeping a low profile for the past ten years and had never stepped out of the Louguan Terrace. However, the name of Ye Beichen, the Ye Tianshi from Zhongnan Mountain, had long been known throughout the world. What kind of person could this powerful enemy be?

"Uncle-master, what kind of powerful enemy could cause you to encounter such a catastrophe?" An Wuyang asked.

“He’s called a powerful enemy, but he’s just a coward who can’t even protect his wife and children.” Ye Beichen said coldly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Huh?" An Wuyang was stunned for a moment, looking puzzled.

"The most evil thing in the world is the holy fetus of gods and demons." Ye Beichen said in a deep voice.

"Nine great inner alchemy methods!?" An Wuyang's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a strange look.

"I suffered a great disaster back then, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. With the help of gods and demons, I created the Taiyi Sword..." Ye Beichen said coldly.

"I created this method to restrain the divine and demonic fetus..."

"One day, I want to see who is more vicious, he or I, Taiyi, is more invincible." A cold light flashed in Ye Beichen's eyes.

"The Holy Fetus of Gods and Demons... is it the King of the Great Spiritual Sect that Baihe Temple has been hunting down?" An Wuyang whispered in a serious tone.

As the descendant of Mount Zhongnan, he also knows a little about the developments at Baihe Temple in Shangjing.

He knew that in recent times, Baihe Temple had encountered an extremely tough opponent. In the battle at Ailao Mountain, they suffered heavy casualties and even lost a master of the Heavenly Master level.

“Nothing happened. In terms of talent, no one in Zhongnan Mountain has been as good as you in the past hundred years. Although you have never seen the Holy Embryo of Gods and Demons, you have the hope of mastering my Taoism…”

"Now that the Taiyi Sword is completed, it can kill gods and demons. You should study it carefully." Ye Beichen said calmly.

"Yes, uncle."

An Wuyang slowly closed his eyes and instantly entered a state of meditation. The true yang in his body boiled and his entire body seemed to have turned into a ball of Qi, which was mysterious and wonderful, and beyond words.

Ye Beichen looked a little dazed: "Zhang Lingzong, you are not dead... You are not dead... How can you not be dead..."

"She should be the one who is not dead..."

Ye Beichen murmured softly, his voice was barely audible. His right hand tightly grasped a jade pendant, as if he was holding the most important treasure in his life. The word "Linglong" was clearly engraved on the jade pendant.

……

Just after noon.

Zhang Fan followed the two brothers Qi Delong and Qi Dongqiang to a mountain area more than 80 kilometers west of Chang'an City.

“There are actually bullock carts here?”

Zhang Fan sat on the ox cart, looking at the undulating mountains around him, and couldn't help but say.

"In Chang'an, you can even find ancient tombs when building a subway. Almost all the nearby hills, big and small, can be used as tourist attractions. This is considered a special feature." Qi Dongqiang whispered.

"This ox cart ride is worth it. It costs 120 yuan for half an hour."

"What?" Zhang Fan's eyes widened. This was more expensive than taking a taxi.

"Master, we are here."

At this moment, Qi Dongqiang raised his hand, and the old man driving the car in front of him waved his whip and said, "Start the meter, forty-five minutes, and any time less than an hour will be counted as one hour."

"Two hundred and four."

"This money is too easy to make." Zhang Fan couldn't help but mutter after watching Qi Dongqiang scan the code for two hundred and four.

He even wanted to rent two ox carts and let the brothers Liu Xingyu and Liu Xingchui drive the carts to make money.

"The hills here are undeveloped. Everyone is in the city to see the Terracotta Warriors, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Tang Dynasty City That Never Sleeps... On weekdays, only mountaineering enthusiasts come here occasionally..." Qi Dongqiang said in a low voice after seeing the old man off.

"It's a rare opportunity for people to do business, so why not make a lot of money?"

"You seem to sympathize with him." Zhang Fan glanced at him and asked, "Where is the place you are talking about?"

“It’s the mountain ahead.”

At this moment, Qi Delong's voice rang out, pointing to a hill not far away.

"This is……"

Zhang Fan's soul slightly left his body and looked into the distance, he saw that the mountain in front of him looked like a giant toad, extending in all directions like a toad stretching its legs, and the belly of the mountain was bulging high, even higher than the top of the head.

"Is this the Golden Toad Holding the Pearl Game!?" Zhang Fan asked in a serious tone.

"Not bad..." Qi Delong nodded.

There is a pattern in Feng Shui called the golden toad spitting out pearls. The land where the old man in Shanghai lives has such a pattern. Whenever the golden toad spits out pearls, it will produce precious energy, and the country will be rich and prosperous for generations.

The Golden Toad Holding a Pearl situation is just the opposite. The Golden Toad is like hibernating, condensing the myriad of precious energies in its belly like beads. After thousands of years of gestation, it has an incredible fortune.

"This golden toad was originally hibernating in a cave. There was an earthquake not long ago, which collapsed the nearby hilltop and exposed it." Qi Delong said in a deep voice.

"No wonder it has not been discovered for so many years." Zhang Fan suddenly realized.

"This is luck and fate." Qi Dongqiang grinned.

"It's too early to say that now." Qi Delong scolded.

If a spiritual fetus were to give birth to such a thing, I'm afraid there would be rivers of blood and great disasters.

At this time, even Qi Delong did not dare to take it lightly.

Jingle bell…jingle bell…

At this moment, the sound of cowbells was heard from behind, and another ox cart was slowly approaching.

"Who said business is slow on weekdays? Aren't there more people coming?" Zhang Fan said, glancing at them.

"Let's go." Qi Delong called.

Zhang Fan nodded and followed the two Qi brothers toward the towering mountain.

"Sir, please stop here."

At this moment, a figure slowly stood up from the haystack on the ox cart.

"One hundred and twenty." The old man turned around and said.

"Uncle, I only have one thousand dollars on me."

As he spoke, the man took out a thousand-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it over.

"What kind of money is this? I've never seen it before." The old man took it.

"This is just money for our daily life, sir. No need to give me the change," the man whispered.

"One thousand yuan, and in foreign currency. What a good person." The old man was delighted and happily stuffed the thousand-yuan bill into his pocket.

"Young man, there aren't many people as kind-hearted as you these days." The old man praised: "What's your name? I think I have a connection with you..."

"My name is Zhang Wang!" the young man grinned and chuckled.
