Chapter 872 Sapphire Altar

Nanyue Hengshan is one of the five famous mountains in China. It has beautiful natural scenery and profound cultural heritage. It is a famous Taoist and Buddhist holy place.It is especially famous in the world for the unique religious harmony characteristic of Taoism and Buddhism "coexisting in one mountain and co-prospering in one temple", but its core is still Taoism.

Because among the "36 caves and 72 blessed places" claimed by Taoism, Nanyue has monopolized four places.

It is because of the pre-Qin Taishang Laojun who descended to Hengshan twice; in the Western Han Dynasty, there was Mao Ying, the patriarch, who visited Taoism; He wrote the "Huang Ting Jing" and created the Shangqing school; Wei and Jin, the Nanyue Taoist Shangqing school developed rapidly, from the Jin Dynasty to the Southern Dynasties Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen about 300 years, Chen Xingming, Shi Cun, Yin Daoquan, Chen Huidu, Zhang Tanyao Nine famous high priests, including Zhang Ruzhen, Wang Lingyu and Deng Yuzhi, practiced Taoism in Nanyue and returned to the true world. They are known as "Nine Immortals of Nanyue".

Therefore, the influence of Taoism on this famous mountain is almost deep into the bone marrow.

Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan went up the mountain all the way, and they already had a very deep impression of all this.Especially the Nanyue Temple, located in Nanyue Town, Hengshan Mountain.This is one of the largest and most complete ancient building complexes in Wuyue Temple.Together with Dai Temple in Tai'an and Zhongyue Temple in Dengfeng, it is famous in the world, and has great influence both at home and abroad.However, although there are many historic sites here, Fan Jiannan no longer has the magical feeling he had when he was in Songshan.This made him a little surprised, so he deliberately went to a few more places, and even got in touch with some Taoist priests in Nanyue Temple.To his surprise, most of these Taoist priests are mediocre people, without the restrained but heavy feeling of practitioners.The same is true in several Buddhist monasteries, and they couldn't find a single person with the mana wave technique.

Fan Jiannan couldn't help but smiled wryly, "It seems that we still think too easily. After all, in this era, where can we find a few real magicians?"

"I think so too. There is no one who understands spells at all. If you ask them, they will think you are crazy." Feng Yuan said helplessly, "What should we do now?"

"There's nothing to do when we go back, why don't we look around again?" Fan Jiannan sighed and said, "I don't believe it. Nanyue is so big that there are no practitioners who really understand the art."

Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't think there is a way for us to find it this way. After all, we are not very familiar with everything here. It is too difficult to find the magician among these people, and even if we find someone with fluctuations in magic power , he may not know about the Hengshan Aperture. We might as well change the way and start from other places."

"Start from other places?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "Tell me, how do we find it?"

"The coexistence of Buddhism and Taoism here is not without reason." Feng Yuan smiled and said, "As the saying goes, there are two tigers in one mountain. Although Buddhism and Taoism are all monks, they pay attention to non-competition. But in the same Nanyue Mountain, there are some disputes and fights in the open and in the dark Later, in order to calm things down and show the coexistence of Buddhism and Taoism, the imperial court simply built eight Taoist temples and Buddhist temples on both sides of the Nanyue Temple, and sent Taoist priests and monks to the temple to preside over the affairs.

The imperial courts of all dynasties respected Buddha or Taoism, but basically recognized the fact that Nanyue Buddha and Taoism coexisted, and usually rewarded them separately to show the royal family's tolerance for all rivers.Under the suppression of the imperial court, Buddhism and Taoism were able to coexist peacefully for many years.However, there will be some suspicion between the two factions, which may be the reason why Buddhist and Taoist practitioners have gradually disappeared from here. "

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "That makes sense. However, you still didn't say how to find it. If there isn't even an ordinary magician here, who can we ask about Hengshan's orifices? Don't let me know." Let's search bit by bit, this Mount Hengshan Earth Orifice can't be found in ten days and half a month. If it's really that simple, then who would need this map of the Five Sacred Mountains?"

Feng Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm just analyzing it for you. As far as I know, the Five Sacred Mountains and Earth Apertures are related to the ancient book Lian Shan Yi, and Lian Shan Yi is most likely the predecessor of Feng Shui .Judging from the Mount Tai and Songshan Earth Apertures we found, these Earth Apertures basically have one thing in common. That is, although those Earth Apertures are well concealed, they should all be places that have already been discovered.”

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "That's right. Both the Black Dragon Pool on Mount Tai and the Junji Peak on Mount Song were discovered very early." His reaction was very quick, and he said with a roll of his eyes, "You mean this mountain in Hengshan? It is definitely not an unknown place, this place may have been discovered long ago, but many people don't know that it is the Hengshan Aperture?"

"That's right. Any place where this kind of orifice is located is a node where the aura of the earth's veins gathers. In general terms, it is a real geomantic treasure. And these famous mountains and rivers have long been known to people. If there is such a place, Do you think all the magicians for thousands of years have been vegetarians? Don’t they understand what this node of earth-qi rendezvous means?" Feng Yuan glared at him and said.

"I understand what you mean. What you mean is that the Mount Heng may be located in a certain scenic spot." Fan Jiannan patted the travel guide in his hand and said, "Since it is a scenic spot, there must be a record on it."

"That's right, as long as we pay careful attention when visiting these scenic spots, we should be able to find some clues." Feng Yuan said with a smile.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "It seems like this is the only way to go, but where should we start?"

"Do you still remember Dongtian Paradise?" Feng Yuan looked at him and said.

Dongtian Fudi is a part of Taoist fairyland, mostly with famous mountains as the main scenery, or with landscapes.It is believed that there are gods ruling here, and it is the residence of all the gods, and Taoists who live here to practice or climb mountains to ask for money can achieve Taoism and become immortals.In a nutshell, "Dongtian" means that there are caves in the mountains that lead to the sky and pass through the mountains.

But Mount Heng is a small cave, plus three blessed lands.

Fan Jiannan pondered, "Mt. Heng originally belonged to one of the 36 small caves, but the theory that the cave has a detour of 72 miles is a bit too exaggerated. But there are three places in this blessed place. The Qingyu Altar—is in the west of Zhurong Peak in Nanyue. The Temple of Light—is in the The source of the west of Hengyue. The source of the cave spirit - in the west of Nanyue Zhaoxian Guanxi. I think it is possible to start with these three blessed places. But any place that can be rated as one of the [-] blessed places by Taoism is definitely [-]% Fengshui Treasure land."

Feng Yuan nodded, "That's what I mean."

Qingyutan is the No.20 place of four blessings in Taoism, located on Zhurong Peak.Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan followed the guidance of the tourist brochure and searched for it all the way.It was so easy to find this place.It was discovered that the base of the Qingyu Altar is actually a large flat rock, which can accommodate dozens of people.There are two inlaid huge stones on the stone, one big and one small, one tall and one low, the big one is warm and moist like jade, and it is five feet square.Someone next to it is explaining that this is the sapphire altar that Taoism calls, that is, Taoism No. 20 Four Blessed Lands.

"It is said that on the Qingyu Altar, gods from the upper realm often gather here to play fairy music. When the night is quiet, you can often hear the sound of silk and bamboo playing faintly. In fact, it is the special topography of Zhurong Peak. It is produced by the resonance caused by the influence of the environment." The tour guide explained to the tourists.

But when Fan Jiannan put his hand on the boulder, his heart was shocked suddenly, and he moved his hand away like an electric shock.

"What's wrong?" Fan Jiannan's gaffe caught Feng Yuan's attention, and she whispered, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay, I just feel...just feel..." Fan Jiannan murmured, "Suddenly I feel flustered."

"No way, can you sense something on this stone?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

Fan Jiannan's face was a little pale and he said, "This stone is definitely not ordinary, and there is a lot of energy in it. I can even feel that it is the trace of someone's hand. Although it is old, it feels like It is as clear as yesterday. I have never encountered such a powerful magic power, it is obviously just some kind of magic power fluctuation left over from ancient times, but it still has a shocking power."

"So exaggerated?" Feng Yuan asked in surprise.

"No, I have to call Long Ge." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "He should know something about Qingyu Altar." He quickly took out his mobile phone and called Long Ge.

A rush of ringtones interrupted Long Ge who was thinking. He picked up the phone and said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, Fan Jiannan, as I said, it's best not to disturb me until I finish cracking the jade talisman."

"But there is something I might ask you for advice." Fan Jiannan said in a low voice.

Long Ge seemed to hear the seriousness in his voice, frowned and said, "Tell me, what is it?"

"I'm with Feng Yuan now, we're at the Green Jade Altar on the top of Zhurong Peak." Fan Jiannan said slowly, "I touched that stone by accident just now, and for some reason I felt an extremely powerful force. It seems that this stone is related to a powerful magician. I think it should be an ancient thing, but the power really shocked me. Can you help me find out who this place is related to? ?”

Long Ge was silent for a while and said, "No need to check, I probably know who that person is."

Fan Jiannan whispered, "Who is this person? Does it have anything to do with the Hengshan Aperture?"

"I don't know if it's related, but I know that the people who first came into contact with the Qingyu Altar were not ordinary people." Long Ge sighed, "Zhang Daoling at the end of the Han Dynasty, he traveled to Nanyue from Tianmu Mountain, visited the Qingyu Altar and the Guangtian Temple, and paid homage to him. Zhu Rongci. Do you know who he is?"

Fan Jiannan said in a daze, "You mean, the founder of Taoism, Zhang Daoling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the legendary Zhang Tianshi..."
