However, Gu Shunzhi seemed to have read Zhang Sicheng's thoughts, and smiled and said comfortingly: "Don't think too much, the three sects of Xuanmen are connected by the same energy, and speaking of it, the Tianshi Mansion is not a rootless duckweed... …”

Without waiting for Zhang Sicheng to ask, Gu Shunzhi casually asked, "Jishun, I didn't tell you this back then, right?"

"My late father passed away suddenly, before he had time to make arrangements for his future generations..." Zhang Sicheng said with a sad expression on his face.Regarding this, he had already made a guess in his mind, and he had already determined that his father had a lot to say.

However, looking back on the situation back then, when Zhang Jishun was still alive, he actually preferred his second son to his eldest son. Therefore, there were always forces in the Tianshi Mansion that did what he wanted, supporting the second son and hoping for a future "conquering the dragon." .Unexpectedly, Zhang Jishun died suddenly without leaving any will. According to the patriarchal system, as the eldest son, he would win the subsequent battle for the throne.He has always seen this clearly, but at this time, there is no need to say anything.

Gu Shunzhi nodded when he heard the words, obviously he had expected it, and sighed: "The inside story should have been told to you by the previous Heavenly Master, but now that the matter has come to this, it is appropriate for you to follow the authority. Since you are the contemporary Heavenly Master, you are also You should know.”

"Please uncle, please give me some advice!" Zhang Sicheng said with a straight face and cupped his hands.

Gu Shunzhi nodded and waved his sleeves. Zhang Sicheng suddenly felt that the surroundings fell into silence. The sounds of insects, birds, and the breeze blowing leaves that could be heard far and near disappeared in an instant, as if the whole world was gone. It was still for a moment.

Then he realized that it was not that the whole world had stopped, but that the person in front of him had used some secret method to isolate the surrounding sounds.

Before Zhang Sicheng could react, he heard Gu Shunzhi say: "The things about immortals and gods have their origin and are not false."

"Immortal, move here." As he spoke, Gu Shunzhi stretched out his finger and wrote with his hand, and a silver seal character hung in the air as he wrote. It was the ancient character "immortal": "Move into the mountain. Therefore, the person who made the calligraphy has a mountain next to it."

Gu Shunzhi glanced at Zhang Sicheng, who was listening respectfully, and continued: "The so-called three Xuanmen sects are Kunlun, Penglai, and Fanghu. Our Xia Xuanmen has a long history. These three sects inherit the Three Qing Taoism. It continues to this day.”

Hearing the names of the three sects, Zhang Sicheng was so excited that he couldn't help but say: "But the fairy mountain in the sea is mentioned in the ancient books?"

The saying that there are fairy mountains in the East China Sea was once very popular in Dazhao in this world, especially in ancient times before the great geographical discovery. Historical records indicate that many emperors sent fleets to cruise the East China Sea with the purpose of looking for the so-called fairy mountains in the sea. In order to obtain the elixir, naturally, most such searches end in failure.However, it was still mentioned in writing from time to time in various unofficial histories and novels that followed.

There are various theories about the fairy mountains in the East China Sea, including Kunlun, Penglai, Yingzhou, Fanghu, Zhongshan, Liubo, Gushe and so on.In various classics, contradictory statements are not uncommon.

However, after the great geographical discovery, myths and legends such as fairy mountains in the sea and sea monsters were gradually not mentioned.

At this time, Zhang Sicheng had only one thought in his mind: Sure enough, it came out of nowhere, and it may not be without cause!

PS: Regarding the issue of Chi Xuzi’s Dharma name in the previous chapter, let’s talk about it again. I thought about it based on the context, and finally made corrections. Two places in the previous article have been modified, and I will explain them here.According to Care Shunzhi's own statement, he should not have appeared in any area outside Danding Mountain.

In addition, following the readers' suggestions, in order to avoid unnecessary associations, the Yingzhou sect among the three sects was renamed the Fanghu sect.

Chapter 541 The Three Sects of Xuanmen

"There is indeed such a saying, but people at that time thought that fairy mountains exist on the sea, which is wrong!" Gu Shunzhi smiled and shook his head: "What is a mountain? A mountain means Xuan Ye. Xuan Qi spreads and gives birth to all things; a mountain means Yin Ye, the immortal. A place of seclusion…”

Zhang Sicheng immediately understood what Gu Shunzhi meant when he heard this. Obviously, these three "fairy mountains" are not on the sea, but in some special places where immortals live in seclusion.

If he had some enlightenment: "My uncle means that the fairy mountain is not on the sea..."

"The three sects' Taoist temples are located in the cave and cannot be explored by ordinary people..." Gu Shunzhi did not shy away from the truth and went straight to the point.

Zhang Sicheng was suddenly stunned. As a contemporary heavenly master, it was impossible for him not to know the word "dongtian". This is a Taoist vocabulary that has been widely spread. It generally refers to the place where gods live in mythology, and also refers to the place where gods live in mythology. Fairyland and blessed land.Interestingly, later generations often used famous mountains and rivers to associate with the theory of caves and heavens.

However, after listening to what Gu Shunzhi said, Zhang Sicheng immediately understood that the cave sky existed, and it was indeed a blessed land of immortal mountains, but this mountain was not that mountain, and the two were not the same.

Just when Zhang Sicheng was thinking about it, he saw Gu Shunzhi reaching out and touching the sky. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Sicheng felt that his surroundings suddenly dimmed. The sky above his head, the surrounding flowers, trees, mountains, rocks, and the land under his feet began to fade. It was nothingness, except for Gu Shunzhi in front of him and the chessboard in front of him, everything around him turned into a vast and deep void.

A subconscious sense of disorientation arose spontaneously. Zhang Sicheng held on to the chessboard in front of him and managed to avoid falling.The next moment, an even more spectacular sight appeared in front of him.

It was an extremely huge but vaguely familiar planet, rotating in the void under his feet. Above the planet, the blue ocean was surging with tides. In the sky, large clouds drifted and rotated, and a kind of self-responsiveness was related to it. Comparatively, incomparably small, the feeling of being like an ant arises spontaneously.

Fortunately, Zhang Sicheng was also a man who had seen the big world, and he recovered from the initial shock in a short time. Then, he realized that the planet in front of him seemed to be the earth.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that the space around the earth is not as static as the space in the universe that ordinary people know. Instead, it is full of turbulence, just like the depths of the ocean with undercurrents, making people create a world out of thin air. A thrilling feeling like the bottom of an abyss.

"Let's see..." Gu Shunzhi pointed to the side, Zhang Sicheng hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, and then he saw the outside of the planet. There was a satellite-like place, surrounded by layers of Shrouded in clouds and looming, he thought it was the moon at first, but soon he realized it didn't look like it.

"That's the cave." Gu Shunzhi's voice rang in his ears.

Wondering in his heart, Zhang Sicheng noticed that there seemed to be some chain-like things extending out of the cave sky... He wanted to take a closer look, but suddenly felt dizzy in his head. The next moment, all the void and planets turned into Nothing, everything around him returned to normal, with green trees and occasional birds passing by, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Sicheng rubbed his swollen temples. At this time, boy Fa Sheng came to the chessboard silently and served tea to the two of them.

Zhang Sicheng felt his throat was dry and coughed, so he took it casually and took a sip. He felt a chill rush to the top of his head. The dizziness just now disappeared, and he knew that this tea must be good...

In his heart, he was more and more amazed at his uncle's methods. Zhang Sicheng picked up the tea cup again and took a sip. Then he raised his hand and said: "My uncle's Taoism is so profound that Sicheng is amazed!"

At this time, Zhang Sicheng became more cautious and awe-inspiring towards those sects hidden in history.

Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Shunzhi in front made a move and swallowed up the five chess pieces that Zhang Sicheng had connected together. He then saw him smiling and saying, "Master Tian, ​​you were careless."

"My uncle is very skilled at chess, and this move is truly a stroke of genius..." Zhang Sicheng pretended to be annoyed and complimented him.

Gu Shunzhi smiled and nodded at him without saying much, gesturing for him to continue making moves, so the two of them went back and forth and made several moves in succession.

"Uncle just said that behind Yunxiao Mountain...is Kunlun?" Zhang Sicheng said casually as he stepped down. In fact, what he wanted to ask was who was behind him, but he couldn't ask so directly.

Gu Shunzhi nodded slightly, but did not answer his question directly. Instead, he asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Do you know what the Three Mountains Talisman is?"

Zhang Sicheng was slightly stunned. He certainly didn't know what the Three Mountains Talisman was. After all, the "General Book of Zhuzhen Sects" was stored in the Imperial Book Pavilion of the Tianshi Mansion.

The so-called Three Mountain Talisman refers to the so-called "Three Mountains of Xuanmen", namely Tianshi Mansion on Danding Mountain, Yunxiao Temple on Yunxiao Mountain, and Chunyang Palace on Yuhua Mountain.

According to the "General Book of Zhuzhen Sects", there are 86 sects in Xuanmen today, of which no more than fifty have been inherited in an orderly manner. If we look closely at their origins, at least half of the sects originated directly or indirectly from the three mountains of Xuanmen.

And these three mountains have always been the core of the Jokhang Xuanmen Association and even the Jokhang Xuanmen.

"Uncle said, are we the Tianshi Mansion in Danding Mountain, Yunxiao Temple in Yunxiao Mountain, and Chunyang Palace in Yuhua Mountain?" Zhang Sicheng asked.

Gu Shunzhi nodded, but then shook his head: "These three families are correct, but do you know why they are called Three Mountain Talismans?"

Zhang Sicheng was stunned for a moment, and when he thought about it carefully, he hesitated. He had never thought about this problem before. He originally thought that the so-called Three Mountains Talisman was a literal meaning.Three Mountains refers to the three famous mountains and rivers that are located in Danding Mountain, Yunxiao Mountain and Yuhua Mountain. As for Fulu, it refers to Xuanmen.

But thinking about it, my uncle would not ask himself such a simple question. When he thought of the three immortal sects that his uncle just mentioned, he suddenly felt blessed. He took a deep breath and said, "What my uncle said, behind the three mountains, are those three sects." Immortal Sect?"

"That's right," Gu Shunzhi showed a teachable expression and nodded: "The so-called Three Mountains Talisman means the inheritance of the Talisman Edicts of the Three Sects. The Three Mountains do not refer to the three sects in this secular world, but to the three immortal sects, which respect the three sects. Qing Taoism, its heel and foot, is also here."

(For the convenience of description, Kunlun, Penglai, and Fanghu will be called the Three Sects in this article, and Tianshi Mansion, Yunxiao Temple, and Chunyang Palace will be called the Three Mountains.)

When Zhang Sicheng heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of clarity in his heart. Thousands of years have passed, and Xuanmen has gone through countless disasters. Foreign invasions, bans and destruction of Xuanmen, and the killing of Taoist priests... However, no matter what, Xuanmen has been passed down to this day. , especially three of them, all have a long history.Some Taoist priests even said that whenever Taoism declines, God will send people to revive our religion...

Chapter 542 The real Zhe Bifeng

Of course, more people regard this as a historical coincidence...

I thought it was just some people's comments for the convenience of preaching.But now it seems that there is no historical coincidence!There is someone behind this!The backer is strong enough!Otherwise, why in history, those few foolish kings who banned and destroyed Xuanmen ended up in such bad ways?

It’s no wonder that when the Patriarch Celestial Master established the Celestial Master’s Mansion, he did not respect the leader, but instead respected the Great Heavenly Master Xuanyuan as the Patriarch…

With that said, it all makes sense!

"I don't know which family my Heavenly Master's Mansion will inherit..." Zhang Sicheng put down the chess piece in his hand and slightly raised his hand...

"The Heavenly Master's Mansion has received the Penglai Immortal Sect's Talisman Edict, and inherited the Taoist lineage of the Great Heavenly Master Xuanyuan..." At this point, Gu Shunzhi also put down the chess piece in his hand, cupped his hands in the distance and said solemnly.

Until this moment, Zhang Sicheng finally felt his heart pounding, and his whole person seemed to feel relaxed.Although it is still unclear how powerful the Penglai Immortal Sect is, judging from the looming legends in history, it can also be traced back to ancient times, and its foundation must not be underestimated.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but show some expectancy on my face...

As if he had sensed Zhang Sicheng's thoughts, Gu Shunzhi's expression did not relax, but he said solemnly: "Does the Heavenly Master think that by joining the sect, one can become an immortal and be free and easy?"

Zhang Sicheng wanted to answer "yes", but based on his experience, he could naturally see that this uncle obviously had a subtext, and this question was by no means as simple as it seemed on the surface.

However, if you answer against your will, your uncle may think you don't mean what you say. It would be even worse if you give such a stereotype, so after thinking about it for a while, he said: "My grandnephew has read the high-spirited deeds of famous figures in the past since he was a child. That ancient Taoist priest drank the dew from the sunset, traveled to the North Sea in the morning and the night sky, and was not afraid of his uncle's jokes. I really yearned for him..."

"Everyone in the world thinks that gods are good..." Gu Shunzhi smiled and shook his head when he heard this: "But I don't know that gods may not be free..."

Zhang Sicheng was startled when he heard this: "Why did my uncle say this?"

Gu Shunzhi was looking at the chessboard at this time, as if thinking about the next move. He was just silent when he heard the words. After that, he saw a white chess piece picked up between his index and middle fingers and landed on the board.

"Bang!" A crisp sound was heard, and the surrounding scenery suddenly changed again!

At that moment, Zhang Sicheng suddenly felt that the surrounding scene seemed to be like a fixed photo. The wind no longer blew, the leaves stopped shaking, and even the birds flying by not far away stopped. Half empty.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding space suddenly collapsed and shattered into countless colorful pieces.The crystal fragments sputtered in all directions, glowing and flipping, and the speed became slower and slower, until they were completely frozen in nothingness. In just a few seconds, Zhang Sicheng felt a suffocating depression.

Suddenly, those scattered glass-like fragments started moving again, forming countless swirling lights that swept through the entire dark and void space.

When the light slowed down again, it rearranged to form a clear scene, but it had a rippling effect as seen through water.The pulsing finally stopped, and Zhang Sicheng finally regained control of his body.

Zhang Sicheng was panting heavily as if he had woken up from a nightmare, with cold sweat on his forehead. After all, he was old, and this kind of torment was really too exciting for him.

When he regained his composure, he realized that although he was still sitting on the stone bench with the chessboard in front of him, the scenery around him had completely changed.

The sky above his head was not the original clear sky, but a gray sky with a blood-red glow. The crimson clouds were extremely low, giving people an extremely depressing first impression. There is a strong sense of ominousness.

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop a lot suddenly, even giving Zhang Sicheng a cold feeling.There were still trees around him, but the trees here looked extremely sparse, with almost all the leaves falling, dry branches, and many trees looking a bit arrogant. Based on Zhang Sicheng's experience, he couldn't tell what kind of trees they were.

It seems that I have come to an inexplicable wilderness?This was Zhang Sicheng's first reaction, but then he thought again that his great-uncle would not bring him here for no reason...

Sure enough, Gu Shunzhi dusted his sleeves, stood up, and smiled at Zhang Sicheng: "Master Tian, ​​come with me."

As he spoke, without seeing him making any gestures, Zhang Sicheng saw a large cloud of gas coming out from below him. The cloud of gas gushes out like spring water. In a few breaths, it covered an area several meters in radius. Then, he saw The clouds rose up and actually carried him and Gu Shunzhi flying!

The clouds rose higher and higher, and soon reached a distance of tens of meters from the ground.

"Ride the clouds and ride the fog!"

Zhang Sicheng immediately thought of this word in his mind.With excitement in my heart, I subconsciously stamped on the cloud, feeling soft and elastic under my feet.Of course, he held back his strength, for fear that if he stepped too hard and penetrated the cloud, he would fall down.

The cloud had stopped rising at this time and flew straight forward. At this time, after the initial excitement had passed, Zhang Sicheng began to feel guilty. After all, at this height, to use a vivid metaphor, it is as if you are standing on On the top of a twenty or thirty-story building, there is only a small area of ​​a few meters below where you can stand, and this tall building is moving forward at a very slow speed, even though Zhang Sicheng admits that he is not afraid of heights. , but I am still a little worried that if I am not standing firmly, I will fall down accidentally.

Fortunately, the movement of the clouds was extremely stable. In addition, there may be some protection measures. Zhang Sicheng did not feel the usual strong wind blowing at high altitudes. This made his hanging heart gradually relax, and gradually He also focused on observing the surrounding scenery.

Zhang Sicheng noticed at this time that there was an extremely huge mountain not far ahead. At this moment, the clouds began to descend and the speed began to slow down. Zhang Sicheng noticed that the terrain under his feet began to rise, and a faint line could be seen in it. The winding road leading to the mountain.

This mountain is extremely tall, reaching straight into the sky. The closer you get, the more you can feel how huge it is, just like the mythical pillars of heaven.Looking upward, the upper part of the mountain peak is inserted into the clouds, reaching the top.

As he got closer, Zhang Sicheng could see that the winding mountain road was carved entirely from a rock that was visually very solid. On both sides of the mountain road, there were some stone statues, probably decorations.

"This mountain is the real ocher peak." Gu Shunzhi's voice sounded next to Zhang Sicheng.

PS: Heiyue's uncle passed away these days, and the whole family is busy helping out. I try to keep it updated, but the content may be a bit urgent. Please forgive me if there are any typos or the like.Also, in order to coordinate with the list refresh, the one on Sunday will be released before 12 o'clock in the evening. I also want to say to everyone, please forgive me.

Chapter 543 The Frightened Heavenly Master

Zhang Sicheng was shocked when he heard this and wanted to ask again, but Gu Shun said: "Let's see..."

Knowing that his uncle must have a deep meaning in bringing him here, Zhang Sicheng ignored the questions about the exit and just paid attention to the scenery along the way.

The clouds kept falling, getting closer and closer, and finally stopped two or three meters above the winding mountain road. They just went up the winding mountain road at an unhurried speed.

Zhang Sicheng probably guessed that this was because Gu Shunzhi wanted to see clearly for himself, and he was also paying attention at the moment. From this distance, he could see more details on the winding mountain road. At this time, he found that the road was far better than when viewed from a distance. To be mottled with vicissitudes of life, it is obvious that it has experienced a long time.Zhang Sicheng has rich experience in appreciating antiques. It can be seen at a glance that it is really a baptism of time!Rather than some kind of aged effect obtained through processing.

In addition, Zhang Sicheng also noticed that from time to time, you can see some very conspicuous dilapidation and damage on this mountain road. These damages are not the kind of weathering and peeling caused by long-term erosion, but are obviously damaged by some kind of violence, and some are similar to Sharp weapons were slashing, and some seemed to have been hit by huge force to create huge gaps. Zhang Sicheng even saw a huge gap that was dozens of meters square and looked like a crater. He did not know what kind of force caused it...

But since then, Zhang Sicheng has begun to vaguely suspect that this place is not peaceful!

At this time, Gu Shunzhi, who had been keeping his hands behind his back without even glancing at him, suddenly said: "If you see something strange in a moment, Master Tian, ​​please don't be frightened."

With that said, Gu Shunzhi handed over a jade pendant and said, "Master Tian, ​​please hold this jade in your hand."

Zhang Sicheng subconsciously wanted to save face. After all, adults, few people are willing to admit that they are timid, let alone Zhang Sicheng who has always been in a high position.However, as soon as this thought flashed in his mind, he immediately remembered all the things he had encountered along the way that were enough to shatter his previous three views. It can be said that he has lived so long and has been exposed to magical things in his previous life. , can’t even match today’s daily quantity.

Since Uncle Gu said this, he must have had a purpose. Zhang Sicheng hesitated for a moment and then accepted the jade pendant honestly.

So the cloud energy supported the two of them to continue upward. After the instructions just now, Gu Shunzhi stopped talking. After a while, the cloud energy went up to a platform.

In terms of the height of the entire mountain, this platform is generally located close to the foot of the mountain. From this, we can see how tall and majestic the mountain is!

The platform was extremely wide. As soon as he reached the platform, Zhang Sicheng saw a huge square altar standing in the center of the platform.

The high altar is extremely majestic, with a towering building standing in the middle. From a distance, it looks like a tall building with dozens of floors.

The first time he saw the towering building, although Zhang Sicheng couldn't see it clearly from far away, he could already feel an extremely depressing and even trembling breath coming towards his face. He didn't know why. , his heart began to beat faster, and he felt uneasy for no reason. Zhang Sicheng could not describe this feeling. If he had to describe it, it was like the birds before the volcano erupted. There was a fear that seemed to be based on genetic instinct. rising.

The clouds carried the two of them towards the high altar, and the feeling Zhang Sicheng felt became more intense as the distance got closer.His heart began to beat uncontrollably and adrenaline began to secrete. Zhang Sicheng took a big breath and began to try his best to calm down. On the one hand, he subconsciously looked to the side, but saw Gu Shunzhi's face was calm, and he didn't see anything strange. Come.

At this time, Zhang Sicheng also noticed that there was a huge stone sculpture of ghosts and gods at the four corners under the high altar. Each of these statues was more than ten meters high, and they were wearing clumsy oriental-style metal armor. Wearing combat boots, his face was ferocious and ferocious, seeming to intimidate all parties.

In addition, Zhang Sicheng also noticed that this platform should have experienced some damage before. The ground should have been paved with some kind of hard stone material. However, on this seemingly solid ground, there were There are many traces of damage. The square has obviously been repaired, but you can still see some huge wounds, like knives and axes, which have sunk into the ground several meters deep. There are even some stone slabs that have been rolled up. It is not clear where they are. What kind of force?

The clouds kept getting closer and passed by one of the ghosts not far away. Whether it was an illusion or not, Zhang Sicheng vaguely felt that the eyes of this huge ghost seemed to move and looked towards him!This discovery shocked him, but when he took a closer look, he found that the statue of ghosts and gods did not seem to be moving!

As the clouds got closer and closer to the high altar, Zhang Sicheng suddenly heard a vague sound of crying. The sound was not loud at first. However, as he got closer to the high altar, the sound of crying started to grow louder. The sound began to become more and more shrill. Hearing this, Zhang Sicheng felt chills running down his spine, his temples were pounding, and his heart rate was rising uncontrollably. He felt confused in his heart, and Zhang Sicheng had a bad heart...

Fortunately, at this moment, the jade pendant in his hand emits a warm feeling.The warmth flowed up his arms and spread throughout his body in an instant, making him feel as if he was freed from a state of being trapped. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he was already covered in cold sweat. My back is wet!

At this time, the clouds had already arrived under the high altar, and in Zhang Sicheng's ears, the shrill wails were already shaking the heavens and the earth, as if they were like thousands of ghosts wailing endlessly under the eighteen levels of hell in the legend, filled with a kind of Unrelievable resentment, curses, prayers, and wailing!

But at this moment, Zhang Sicheng's mind was no longer on the sound of crying. His whole mind was attracted by the huge building towering above the high altar!

There are hundreds of stone steps going up on all sides of this square high altar, and the huge building standing on the high altar. When we were far away just now, we thought it was a tall tower or something like that. But when we got here, we just saw it. It was discovered that this turned out to be an extremely huge Jingguan!

The so-called Jingguan refers to a high mound made of enemy corpses piled up in ancient times to show off martial arts.According to historical records, the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty once used this method to frighten the world. However, in modern times, it gradually stopped appearing because it was too barbaric.Zhang Sicheng had only seen similar records in history books, and he had only glanced at them at that time. He never thought that he would witness it with his own eyes!

The Beijing temple in front of you is made up of layers. If you look closely at each layer, you will see that there are heads of different sizes arranged in different sizes. These heads all have one thing in common, that is, they look very different. Humanoid!
