Chapter 823: Lingtai Fangcun Mountain

"what!!?"

"What do you call this mountain?"

Anyang opened his eyes in disbelief.

Opposite him was an old woodcutter, who looked to be in his forties or fifty years old, his skin was tanned, and his face was full of ravines that were cut out like a knife and axe. Years of hard work have made his eyes a little cloudy, but there is no filth from the outside world, but it is very peaceful.

Facing Anyang's questioning, the old woodcutter was a little frightened, but he repeated for him: "Fangcun Mountain, it's called Fangcun Mountain."

"The full name of this mountain is Lingtai Fangcun Mountain?" Anyang continued to ask.

"This..." The old woodcutter hesitated. He had chopped firewood on this mountain all his life, and he only vaguely knew that the mountain was called Fangcun Mountain. As for Lingtai and Lingtai, he really didn't know.

"Okay, thank you, old man." Anyang took out a piece of silver and handed it to the woodcutter.

"I can't make it work." The woodcutter waved his hands again and again, "I just answered a few questions casually, the young master doesn't dislike the little old man who already knows how little he has already made the young old man very ashamed, and the old man is really sorry to accept the son's money again. what……"

"Thanks a lot then." Anyang didn't shirk him, took back the broken silver, and walked towards the village.

It is indeed like a paradise isolated from the world. If nothing else, in this era of chaos, such a simple person can never be found outside with a lantern.

Afterwards, Anyang and Xiaochan visited the whole village and deeply felt the peace here. People are not disturbed by natural and man-made disasters, there are no demons and ghosts making troubles, and there are not so many overt and secret fights, and their hearts naturally remain simple and kind.

It's just that the two of them couldn't ask the specific situation of the mountain in the end. Most people only know that the mountain is called Fangcun Mountain, and they don't know anything about the rest.

"Then go up the mountain and have a look!" Anyang stood at the head of the village.

This mountain is really deep, covered with dense vegetation, and the clouds are so vast that even if you raise your head, you can't see the top.

The two started walking towards the mountains.

Speechless all the way.

Fangcunshan, no one must be unfamiliar with it.

There is a great mythology in China called "Journey to the West", in which there is an old Tao called Bodhi Patriarch, who lives in Fangcun Mountain.

Its full name is 'Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxingdong'.

This is actually an anagram.

The square inch of the Lingtai is actually a word for 'seeking', and the three stars of the oblique moon are 'heart', which together are 'seeking heart', which reflects the importance that ancient practitioners attached to the nature of the heart.

And whether Lingtai or Fangcun, in fact, they all mean the heart, there is a word for "square inch chaos".

The absolute protagonist in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong began his life in the sky from here!

Anyang remembered that Sun Wukong was just a stone monkey at that time, and his origins were not mentioned in the original Journey to the West. Throwing aside the various interpretations of modern people, he was just a stone that became an essence. But this stone monkey has acquired a skill in this slanting moon three-star cave, and within a few years, he dares not to take Heaven in his eyes!

When Sun Wukong first arrived at Fangcun Mountain, the first person he met was also a woodcutter, but that woodcutter not only knew everything, but also heard and learned songs in the Sanxing Temple on the mountain.

"Could it be that the system borrowed the background of Journey to the West?"

"But it's unclear whether this Fangcun Mountain is the spiritual platform of Patriarch Bodhi, Fangcun Mountain. Maybe it's just the same name? You have to go up and see it with your own eyes to know."

"The Bodhi Patriarch described in the original Journey to the West is approachable, so even if you accidentally offend, it's fine, right?"

Anyang didn't feel that he had any ability to resist in front of those legendary gods at his level, so he had to be careful.

At first, they walked along the path that the woodcutter took up the mountain to chop wood, but then the path disappeared, so they could only walk through the dense forest and go up step by step.

"Ow!"

The roar of a tiger could be heard in the distance.

Xiaochan stood on tiptoe and glanced in the direction of the voice, but the jungle was too deep, and she couldn't see anything.

The two of them didn't care too much and continued to trek up the mountain.

Anyang was a little puzzled. In the original Journey to the West, there was a stone step up the mountain, and Sun Wukong took this road, but he didn't see anything.

But at this moment, he saw the stone stairs.

To be precise, some unknown slates have been corroded by wind and rain, and many are still covered by soil and fallen leaves, and the exposed ground is also covered with moss. You can vaguely see that they are connected into a long road leading to the top of the mountain.

Anyang walked over quickly, but his face was stunned.

"what's going on?"

Xiaochan followed behind him, looking suspiciously at the rocks outcropping the ground, wondering why he was so surprised.

After a pause, Anyang squatted down and touched the stone, pressed it again, and carefully observed it in front of his eyes: "Seventeen, analyze how many years this stone carving has been here."

"Analyzing... The analysis is over. Unfortunately, Mr. Anyang, this is not an exquisite stone sculpture, it is just a simple long strip, and the carving itself is not neat, which means that it is difficult for me to analyze the degree of erosion and damage on the surface. Its history, and most of it is buried in the ground, the environment has changed a lot, and there are trampling marks, the number of people who have stepped on it and other factors will affect its wear and tear, these are all very important for me to analyze its age restricting..."

"So, the analysis failed."

"It doesn't matter." Anyang nodded, knowing that this was indeed a bit difficult, but he also had an academic method to know the year information of these things.

But after thinking about it, he gave up this plan again.

Because if this stone step really leads to the Three Stars View of the Oblique Moon, then he knows that the year is meaningless.

After all, he doesn't know how long the Xieyue Sanxingguan has been built, nor when these stones were buried by wind and rain, so no matter the age when these stones were carved or how many years they were buried underground, Neither could help him judge when the road was abandoned.

Anyang paused for a while, then continued to look upward.

About every ten to twenty meters, some stones are exposed on the ground. Although they cannot bring convenience to their walking, they point out the direction for them.

After half an hour, the road came to an end.

Anyang raised his head high, completely stunned.

In front of it was a cliff, with thousands of peaks lined with halberds, Wan Ren opened the screen, withered vines wrapped around old trees, and there was a faint stone stair, but the stone stair was already covered with moss. There is a magical haze in the stream next to it, gathering the light of the sun and the moon.

There is a wooden door embedded in the cave in front of it, and the dark green Yao grass on both sides of the door exudes a faint fragrance.

I saw that the door was tightly closed, and the vermilion color had already fallen off a lot. What was shocking was a big hole in the door, as if it had been cut out by brute force!

"It really has a hole in it..."

Anyang suddenly turned his head and saw a stone tablet standing on the top of the cliff, about three feet high and eight feet wide, with a clear line of ten characters on it.

"Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave!"

Anyang's eyes were in a trance, as if he saw the joy of the Monkey King coming to this scene in the book. In the book, he said: "The people here are simple, and there is this mountain and this cave..."

At that time, the Monkey King was watching the hook for a long time, but he did not dare to knock on the door, but jumped on the top of the pine branch to pick pine nuts and eat it.

And what about him? What should he do?

And doesn't it say in Journey to the West that Lingtai Fangcunshan is in Xiniu Hezhou, which is isolated overseas? How did you come to Nanzhanbuzhou?

While he was thinking, Xiaochan was staring blankly ahead, as if trying to see some mystery, but found nothing.

Anyang just patted her head when she saw it, and said with a smile: "I told you not to only know how to cultivate all day long. If you don't believe it, you're now stunned!"

While speaking, he had already made a decision.

Before Xiaochan could react, he stepped forward and pushed open the faded wooden door.

Walking through a dark cave in the mountain, the eyes suddenly brightened, but it was just a deserted scene.

This slanting moon three-star cave is very big, but it is a mess inside. The ground is covered with leaves, and the layers are piled and corroded, as if no trace of the ground can be seen. However, some benches and tables fell to the ground crookedly, and they were already rotten.

"How many years has it been!"

Anyang swallowed and continued to walk forward.

A vigorous and knotty old tree grew unusually lush, with thick moss growing on its roots.

The ground is covered with slate, like a park. There will be holes in the middle of the slate for the trees to grow, but the original small trees have now grown into towering giant trees, directly deforming the top of the slate - this is the only thing that can be seen with the naked eye. Slate place.

The wooden doors are tattered, some are rotten, some have been pushed down, and some have been tattered for unknown reasons.

A passageway collapsed directly...

A thick layer of dust has accumulated on the roof, overgrown with weeds, and even some small animals make their homes on it.

One of the attic also collapsed...

After walking around in Anyang, I have to admit that it has been abandoned for many years.

And he was full of doubts.

Isn't Xieyue Sanxingdong the dojo of Patriarch Bodhi? Where have the great master Bodhi and so many of his disciples gone? Why did this Samsung hole end up in such a land?

With Patriarch Bodhi's great supernatural powers and the influence of his disciples in the Three Realms, even if they moved away and changed to a new dojo, the place wouldn't be so desolate, right?

As long as they have the heart to keep it here, even if they just leave a thought, no mortal person can enter here if they arrange a ban. Say hello casually, even if those cultivators with Taoist supernatural powers would dare to offend here?

Of course, all these speculations are based on the background that the system uses Journey to the West, but the facts are not biased.

The Patriarch Bodhi was originally a character in Journey to the West, and there is no such person in traditional Chinese mythology.

Although Anyang was a little unbelievable, he still had to face the fact that there must be an accident that caused all the people in Xieyue Sanxingdong to disappear, including Patriarch Bodhi.

And when is it now?

It couldn't have been the time when Sun Wukong made a riot in the Heavenly Palace. Could it be when Sun Wukong went to the west to collect Buddhist scriptures? This is possible, because in Journey to the West, Monkey King never mentioned Bodhi Patriarch after he left the Xieyue Sanxing Cave, so he doesn't know what happened to the Xieyue Sanxing Cave after five hundred years of suppression.

At this moment, a strong spiritual energy wave came from the backyard.
