Chapter 787: Step Into Tongtian Peak

Ye Zan led the brothers and sisters of the Lin family into the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands town boundary formation. Although it looked like a thick fog made way for a passage from the outside, it was actually clear when inside. After passing through that passage, all the dense fog seemed to disappear in an instant, and what appeared in front of Ye Zan and the others was a long winding mountain road. And a majestic mountain that soars into the sky, the top cannot be seen even with the best of sight, as if connecting the sky and the earth.

Looking at the Tongtian Peak from a distance, only the parts that can be seen, you can see some platforms distributed on the mountainside, and there are some intermittent mountain roads connecting these platforms. It's just that no one has taken care of them for thousands of years, and the growth of these plants has been controlled, making the entire Tongtian Peak "return to nature". Today's platforms have been covered by dense vegetation, and only the corners of some buildings can be vaguely exposed.

"This is Tongtian Peak, it really looks so high!" Lin Mumu said in amazement.

Since the Tongtian Peak has been covered by a large formation for thousands of years, it is actually impossible to see how high the mountain is from the outside, at least there is no feeling of reaching the sky. Only when he walked into the big formation, without the cover of the power of the big formation, did he reveal the true "Tongtian" of Tongtian Peak.

Although, looking at the entire Shenhua Domain, it is not uncommon to see "towering into the clouds" mountain peaks. However, "towering into the clouds" also depends on what kind of "entering the clouds", you must know that this cloud is also different from the cloud. Some "clouds" are actually clouds and mist, not clouds that really float in the sky. Naturally, such "towering into the clouds" must be discounted.

But Tongtian Peak is different, it really goes straight into the sky, against the backdrop of the blue sky, white clouds float across the mountainside. That kind of scene, compared with the hazy cloud and mist, although it lacks some so-called beauty, it is much more shocking.

"This mountain road will not be different for ordinary people walking up, but it can play a role in sharpening the heart of Taoism when we walk up it. It is somewhat similar to the Vientiane Stairway of Tiandao Mountain. Since we If you are not in a hurry, why not take this mountain road." Ye Zan turned to the Lin family siblings beside him.

Of course, this mountain path in Tongtian Peak was not paved with enlightenment tablets. The stones used on the mountain path are still ordinary stones, but with some formations and restrictions added. These formations and restrictions will not restrict the use of mana by ascetics, nor will they restrict various flying exchanges. Only when the ascetic chooses himself and walks down-to-earth like a mortal, will the formation and restraint be triggered, and the effect of sharpening the heart of the Tao will be stimulated.

Back then, when Ye Zan walked out from here, he didn't have any cultivation on his body, so he couldn't feel the difference in this mountain path. And the next few times he entered Tongtian Peak, he also flew directly to Xuanyuan Daozu, and he also had no chance to walk up this mountain road. Therefore, regarding this mountain path, he only knew about it when he was in the Yincao Difu and listened to Xuanyuan Daozu's "funeral affairs".

"I'm not from the Yuqing Sect, so wouldn't this be inappropriate?" Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but feel a little worried when she thought that Tongtian Peak was the territory of the Yuqing Sect after all.

Ye Zan smiled indifferently,

Pointing to the mountain gate at the end of the mountain path, he said: "After passing through that mountain gate, one can truly enter the Yuqing Sect. Since this mountain path is placed outside the mountain gate, it is obvious that it is not restricted to Yuqingmen. What's more, based on the friendship between you and me, it doesn't matter if you are from the Yuqing sect."

"What kind of friendship are we?" Lin Miaomiao asked amusedly after hearing Ye Zan's words.

"This, of course, is a like-minded fellow Taoist!" Ye Zan replied solemnly.

Standing by the side, Lin Mumu listened to the conversation between the two, and immediately shook his head and rolled his eyes. In the end, he rushed directly in front of the two of them, and while walking on the mountain road, he muttered in his mouth: "There is really no way to take you, why can't we just be more straightforward, this round and round I'm dizzy!"

Although Lin Mumu's words were mumbled in a low voice, they still fell into the ears of Ye Zan and Lin Miaomiao. However, upon hearing Lin Mumu's words, Ye Zan and Lin Miaomiao just looked at each other and smiled, and walked up tacitly.

In fact, at their level of cultivation, there is no love between men and women. The so-called "Taoist companions" are like-minded Taoist friends. Not only them, almost all monks, even if they have been married before, in the end the relationship between husband and wife has become the relationship between Taoist friends.

In fact, the same is true for mortals. Vigorous love is just a moment of fireworks, and it is not this that really depends on growing old. The two have walked along the way, experienced ups and downs together, and cultivated the road of life, and they can also be called "dao friends" in the end.

Speaking of going back to Ye Zan and the others, stepping on the winding mountain road outside the gate of Tongtian Peak seemed relatively easy at first. However, after walking less than 100 meters, the three of them unanimously slowed down, as if each step became heavier.

What is this sharpening Dao Xin?

Is it pressure, is it an illusion?

can not say it clearly.

However, all three of them could feel that as they took every step with all their strength, their Dao heart seemed to become clearer. That kind of feeling is like when forging iron, the red-hot iron bar is placed on the anvil, and with each hammering, some impurities are smashed out.

The three of them walked almost half of the distance, and the speed of progress had become like a snail, and they almost had to rest for a while with each step. Although Ye Zan's realm is higher than that of the Lin family siblings, he has no advantage over the two on this mountain road, and he is also wheezing and panting at the end.

"Ye, brother Ye, I really didn't expect that walking would be so tiring, let me sit down and take a breath before I talk." Lin Mumu seemed to have become a weak scholar, while speaking to Ye Zan with difficulty , and sat down while turning to the stone on the side of the road.

Looking at Lin Miaomiao again, she wasn't much better. Although she wasn't as embarrassed as her younger brother, her face was already flushed and her temples were sweating. Ye Zan saw that both siblings were exhausted, so he also moved to the side of the road with difficulty, stretched out his hand to wipe the Qiankun ring, and there were two more chairs on the ground, and then said: "Miao Miao, come and have a rest, this mountain road does not It is not required to finish walking in one go, and the rest in the middle will not affect the effect of sharpening."

Hearing Ye Zan's words, Lin Miaomiao nodded feebly, forced herself to the side of the road, sat on a chair prepared by Ye Zan, then let out a long breath, and said, "No Thinking that this mountain road is so difficult to walk, is this how the seniors of Yu Qingzong entered and exited the sect?"

Although he only walked half way, Lin Miaomiao already clearly felt how much benefit he had gained from this tempering. This made her think that ten thousand years ago, the disciples of Yu Qingzong often traveled on this mountain road, and how enlightened they had to be honed.

Ye Zan also sat down on another chair, but he shook his head when he heard Lin Miaomiao's words, and said with a smile: "I heard from Master that even the Yu Qingzong ten thousand years ago often used this kind of There are also a small number of people who sharpen their Dao heart by means. After all, in that era, the environment for cultivating Dao was much stronger than it is now, so naturally they would not care about the slightest benefit."

This is human nature, what is easy to get, is often not cherished.

In the realm ten thousand years ago, the cultivation environment was much better than it is now. It stands to reason that these good conditions should be used. However, precisely because the environment is good and there are more choices to make, most people are more picky. I can use an easier method to improve my realm and cultivation base, so why bother to go up the mountain road? As a result, the mountain road set up by the patriarch of Yuqingzong not only did not become a benefit in the eyes of most people in Yuqingzong, but became a trouble.

Originally, this mountain road of Yuqingzong had to be entered and exited by walking, but as a result, many people chose to "stay" in the sect as much as possible unless it was necessary. Those who have received a mission and need to go down the mountain to do errands will regard this mountain road as a big obstacle, and they are not very enthusiastic about doing errands for the sect.

In desperation, the patriarch of Yuqingzong modified the restriction on this mountain path, so that those who are unwilling to take the mountain path can fly through the air, which can be regarded as making those disciples stop complaining.

After hearing Ye Zan's words, Lin Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to understand the thoughts of those "seniors".

On the other hand, Lin Mumu, who was sitting on the rock next to him, said with a heartless look: "Yeah, if I have other choices, I don't want to take this mountain path anymore. I'm so tired after walking halfway. I'm afraid I'm going to crawl over from behind!"

Lin Miaomiao glared at her younger brother, but she also saw the thoughts of the "senior" from her younger brother, and couldn't help shaking her head and said: "This is probably what is often said in the world, you don't know your blessings when you are blessed. Patriarch Yuqing set This mountain road, where the disciples of the disciples can sharpen their Taoism so conveniently, obviously cannot be replaced by anything. It is a pity that even if they embark on the road of Taoism, not everyone has the true heart of Taoism, so it is no wonder Something like this will happen.”

People often say that cultivating the Tao is to seek longevity and freedom, but under this premise, many people actually choose this path for other reasons. For example, in order to gain greater power, for the ascetic's status above the world, or even just for the capital of indulging in pleasure. Therefore, not everyone will do everything possible to sharpen themselves. If there is an easier way to improve your strength and achieve the various goals you originally envisioned, then you will naturally choose the easier way.

Lin Mumu curled her lips, always feeling that her sister was scolding her, so she subconsciously turned her gaze elsewhere. However, as soon as he turned his gaze, he jumped up from the rock, pointed to the shadow not far from the mountain road, and shouted to Ye Zan: "Brother Ye, look over there, is there a dead person there!"

When Ye Zan heard this, he immediately turned around and looked, following the direction that Lin Mumu pointed, he saw an ancient tree nest, and there seemed to be a figure hiding in it. Why did Lin Mumu directly shout "There is a dead man"? This is actually not surprising at all, the position where the figure is, there is no anger at all, let alone the slightest mana fluctuation, it can't be anything other than a dead person. It was precisely because of this that Ye Zan and the others sat here for so long, they didn't realize that there was still a figure hiding there, and they turned Lin Mumu's eyes directly.

"It's indeed a dead person, go over and have a look?" Ye Zan asked the Lin family siblings, while walking over there.

Since he was already away from the mountain path, Ye Zan didn't feel the pressure when he walked, and he came to the old tree within a few steps. And the brothers and sisters of the Lin family also walked over closely behind Ye Zan with curious expressions on their faces.

In fact, the three of them already knew the identity of the dead man. After all, there were quite a few people who entered Tongtian Peak back then, but no one walked out alive, so where did those people go? You can guess it without using your brain at all. Apart from being trapped to death inside, I'm afraid there will be no other results.

Coming close to the ancient tree, Ye Zan swung his sword to cut off the branches and vines covering the tree nest, completely revealing the figure inside. That figure, sitting cross-legged in the tree nest, has completely turned into a bone, wrapped in the remaining Taoist robe, and there is a broken flying sword beside it.

"This guy, I'm afraid it's not Daoist Faxiang!" Lin Mumu leaned forward and said with a little sigh when he saw that the bone was like white jade.

You know, in today's Shenhua Domain, although Daoist Faxiang is under the Supreme Supreme, he is already a group of people standing at the pinnacle of the world. For so many years, there has been very little news of the demise of Daoist Faxiang, that is, at the Dao Discussion Conference, Ye Zan revealed the death of Daoist Taiyi Zong Yuanzhen, which is the only confirmed news in thousands of years.

Ye Zan took a closer look at the clothes of the bones, and was sure that he was not a member of the famous Wuxing Taihao, so he guessed: "Looking at the Taoist robes on this person, it seems that they are not from the current few big sects. With his burial here, the sect he belonged to has long since vanished."

"Look at this senior, if there is anything left behind!" Lin Mumu was a little excited, and looked around the bone for a while, and finally saw a Qiankun ring under the leg of the bone.

For many people, "picking up trash" will produce a thrill similar to treasure hunting, so there used to be a category of games in the technology world, called doomsday survival games. In this type of game, a big selling point is "picking up garbage", and using the garbage you pick up to assemble various weapons and tools that are useful to you.

Of course, the Qiankun Ring left by Daoist Faxiang should not be as simple as "garbage" inside. This can really be counted as a treasure hunt.

As for whether there was any offense to the deceased, none of the three people present had such considerations. Anyway, the opponent is already dead first, and secondly died in Tongtian Peak, so there is nothing to worry about. The only point is that the other party died in the Tongtian Peak, so the things left behind should be regarded as Yu Qingzong's. But to be honest, Ye Zan really didn't care too much about what great things this Faxiang Daoist can leave behind.
