Chapter 1725 Qi Refiner
The mountain is not high, and the small Taoist temple is also very dilapidated, with blue lime tiles and rotten wooden rafters, an old grape vine beside it, and a sick tree. It is a desolate scene no matter how you look at it.
Behind the small Taoist temple is a vegetable bed, lush green, and a well, full of antiquity.
This place is very ordinary, nothing unusual, just like that Taoist, if you don't look carefully, you are an old Taoist priest in the mountains, without supernatural powers and immortal roots.
Ye Fan cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Taoist priest."
The old Taoist returned the salute very politely without any airs. Only at this moment did Ye Fan realize that the other party was Zhundi Liuchongtian, who was similar to him and a powerful Taoist master.
The most peculiar thing is that this person's ability to hide his breath, if he didn't come close, even Ye Fan might not be able to detect it from a distance, it's really amazing.
But the main reason is that he didn't open Yuanyuan Tianxian pupil, he was embarrassed to stare.
"Why did the priest call me that way just now?"
"Don't blame the benefactor, the poor Daoist Menglang." The old Taoist said that there was an ancient deity in the Taoist sect who conducted a deduction, and a similar flower would appear. Maybe in this life, it will be the same as the emperor.
"Although Pindao lives in a remote corner and hides in the mountains, but he heard some achievements and past events of the benefactor Ye, and mistakenly thought that you were that flower. Now when he saw it and carefully identified it, he thought it should not be."
"Is it possible for a similar flower to appear?" Ye Fan was quite surprised.
"The future is illusory, even Gu Zun's deduction may not necessarily come true." The old Taoist explained.
"Dare to ask the grown-up's name?"
"Pindao used to have a name, Ge Xuan." The old Taoist said.
Ye Fan was startled, even though he was mentally prepared, his heart was still ups and downs, and finally met a monk from ancient China, and he was extremely powerful and had an extraordinary background.
Who is Ge Xuan? He is one of the most important figures in the Taoist sect. He was regarded as the founder of Ge Zao Sect by the Taoist priests of Lingbao Sect in later generations, known as Ge Xianweng.
Lingbao Pai Zun Shangqing. That is, Lingbao Tianzun, is one of the most important sects of Taoism, and Ge Xuan is the patriarch of the sect for an era, and his status can be imagined.
also. He is respected as one of the four celestial masters of Taoism, and his status is lofty, and his name Ge Xianweng is enough to tell one thing or two.
"Meet the Seniors"
Ye Fan saluted, feeling a little complicated. He had only learned about these characters through ancient books, and didn't really believe that they could fly into the sky and escape from the earth. Then he accidentally embarked on the road of practice. Now that I can really see the real person, I feel endless emotion.
"Benefactor, please sit down." Ge Xuan asked him to sit down on a futon.
Ge Xuan is not only extraordinary, but he also has a grandnephew named Ge Hong, who wrote the book "Baopuzi", which is even more remarkable. He once became the leader of Taoism in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
During the conversation, Ye Fan inevitably mentioned Ge Hong. This person mentioned the Nine Secrets in his works, and discussed that as long as you often read the Nine Characters, you can drive away evil spirits and protect your body.
Ge Xuan said frankly. The cultivation base of the nephew and grandson is on top of it, and the blue is better than the blue, which is really amazing.
"I don't know why the immortal is hiding here?" Ye Fan naturally wanted to ask, all the Qi refiners in ancient China ran here, it was really a fog.
"Tunxia eats dew, and devotes his life to Taoism. Whatever he wants, he is an immortal." Ge Xuandao, then shook his head and sighed: "But in the end, everyone will be buried in the loess. You can't get good fortune."
Ye Fan was moved, this group of people came here to find immortals, they didn't choose Beidou back then, but here?
He asked for proof, and he got an affirmative answer. All Qi refiners believe that there is a fairy road here.
Not all imperial masters think that Beidou is the land of immortality. It is the correct location, and some people think it is on Feixian Star, it is here.
"The universe can be divided into yin and yang. Perhaps Beidou and Feixianxing are symmetrical places of yin and yang, both of which can lead to the fairyland. However, after the battle more than 300 years ago, it proved that that way is not feasible. Therefore, the alchemists believe even more that the way lies in Feixianxing."
They are looking for it just to become immortals.
Ye Fan sighed, in the ancient history of monks, most of the disputes and large-scale bloody battles were caused by immortals.
Longevity is an eternal topic, and it is the Tao fruit that all monks dream of, but after so many years, everyone is still looking for immortality, but cannot achieve it.
"Is there really a fairy road in this place?" Ye Fan sat cross-legged on the futon and had a long talk with Ge Xuan.
"According to some ancient venerables' speculation, there will be a fairy road in the sealed place of Feixianxing, that is, the forbidden zone in the age of mythology." The old Taoist replied, everyone is waiting for the opportunity, but they dare not break the seal.
Ye Fan was silent, how many people have been trapped by becoming immortals? All monks have been working hard since ancient times, and the so-called "immortals" in the historical anecdotes are still on this road.
Not only them, but other people, such as Sakyamuni, have also arrived at this star and established a mountain gate, but the traces are not visible now, and it is suspected that they are looking for it in other places outside the territory.
"Where is the little fairy?" He asked Ge Hong.
Although the number of qi refiners is not very exaggerated, it is definitely not too small. Many of them should be like thunder, and they have a great reputation in ancient China.
Ge Xuan bluntly said that others are retreating on this star, while more people are wandering outside, visiting one after another ancient sites of becoming immortals, thinking about the method of longevity.
Among the living people today, the strongest cultivation bases naturally belong to Lao Tzu and Sakyamuni.
Everyone is waiting. They believe that the failure of Beidou Xianlu does not mean that this place has become empty. Sooner or later, Feixianyuan will reappear.
"The sealed place of Feixianxing must be weird. If it is opened, there will be a great disaster when you break into it." Ge Xuan said.
If there are living creatures in the real seal and they are still alive, then the Road to Immortality must have been occupied by them for the first time, and then break through.
According to people's speculation, there may be a big crack in the fairy world here. Back then, there was a battle between the creatures in the fairy world, and there was even a fight with Gu Zun, so this place was suppressed and sealed.
"Is the Flying Immortal really worthy of its name?"
Later, Ye Fan talked about many issues with the old Taoist priest, and naturally mentioned the Kunlun survivors, which was similar to what he guessed.
The survivors of Kunlun also know the secret of the Feixian star. They need to find the fairy bell, and even want to move to Kunlun Xianshan and live here, so that they can fly to the fairy.
"The Immortal Bell and the Desolate Pagoda are too old. Some people say that all things are created by heaven and earth. Some people say that it involves the Immortal Dynasty, and there was even a real emperor of heaven."
These are old things, and only people in the era of Kunlun Zu and Emperor Zun can understand some of them. In this era, we can only speculate. Evidence is lacking.
The conversation between the two was quite speculative, and they had many discussions from anecdotes to practice.
The old Taoist is considered by the Lingbao Sect to be the patriarch of a generation of Dharma transmission. He reproduced the inheritance of Gu Tianzun. Naturally, he has some advantages. It was his guidance that led to Ge Hong's later path.
"Poverty has a predestined relationship. I have received a scripture and inheritance."
Ge Xuan and Ye Fan discussed the Tao and mentioned the meaning of the scriptures. They agreed that among the scriptures of Lingbao Tianzun, the scriptures of saving people should be the most mysterious and unpredictable.
Ge Xuan recited one, it was a secret book, and it cannot be seen in the world, and Ye Fan took out the ghost face lamp, and also recited one. The two are similar and confirm each other, making them more mysterious.
"Follow the scriptures. If you realize the worry of the ghost lamp again, this scripture will be considered complete." Ge Xuandao.
Ye Fan nodded in agreement.
He gained a lot from this discussion. The old Taoist handed down an ancient prescription called "Shangqing Jinye Shendan Jing", which was said to be left by Lingbao Tianzun.
Ye Fan was surprised, he had heard about this Taoist Danjing a long time ago, and what he sees in the world is for ordinary people to read. But I have never obtained the monk chapter, and now I have seen the scriptures.
Sitting cross-legged for seven days, the two chatted freely, exchanged a lot of experience, and also involved a lot of secrets.
Finally, Ye Fan got up. Saying goodbye to Li, he walked on the Feixian Star, feeling a little dazed. After walking this road and growing up to this day, he is considered a peerless master. Looking back, many things have changed. Qi refiners, in the past, they thought they were so powerful, like people in mythology, but when they came closer, they were all just trekkers on the road to longevity.
Unknowingly, Ye Fan walked through many areas, and saw an old man again. He reported his name and said: "The poor Jiang Ziya."
Ye Fan was startled, and then sighed again. He really saw people from ancient China one after another. Although there were not many of them, it made him feel mixed.
"The magic whip is left by the seniors, right?"
"Yes, I encountered some troubles in Beidou back then, so I saved the whip and saved it for fate." The old man said, don't underestimate the wooden whip, a section that fell off the emperor's fairy tree, it has infinite magical effects.
Ye Fan bid farewell and went on the road again, feeling a bit disappointed. If it wasn't for the huge pressure brought by the underworld, which made him have to elevate his realm to protect his relatives and friends, he would feel that the end of the road of practice is really illusory and ethereal, and he would not want to go on.
"What's the matter? After I came to Feixianxing, why did I feel that there was something empty about me? When I saw a Qi refiner from ancient China, I didn't feel any great excitement. Instead, I looked like this."
Ye Fan was silent for a long time, then raised his head abruptly, this was not his character, he seemed to be influenced by some kind of power.
"Yuantian Immortal Tong sees through all falsehoods," he shouted loudly.
The next moment, the majestic mountains and rivers disappeared, and the bones in front of my eyes were like snow, a vast expanse, and weathered bones were everywhere.
There are no vegetation, no divine waterfalls, and no fairy mountains. The scenery has disappeared, and there is only death here.
Really weird
Unknowingly, he came to the place not far from the seal, and was greatly affected, making him almost lost.
"The Ge Xuan and Jiang Ziya you saw just now can't be fake, can they?"
He looked back again, and when he traveled far away, he saw a large area of remnants. Most of the residences of Qi refiners had already been destroyed, and there were rubble everywhere.
However, fortunately, the dwarf mountain still exists, and the small Taoist temple still exists on the mountain.
However, Ge Xuan was long gone.
Ye Fan kept his celestial pupils open, his eyes flickering, walking all the way, and when he entered another area where Qi refiners lived, he saw some Taoist priests and asked them.
"At least half of the qi refiners died. It was very strange and terrifying back then. Some people died physically, but their obsessions persisted, and they could still manifest themselves. They thought they were still alive, but it was difficult for others to find out. It is said that it was the fairy demons who were sealed in the ground that were causing trouble. They truly reproduced everything about those people."
The little Taoist said that he drew a range and said that those areas could not be entered, and they had already become ghost domains.
Ye Fan's whole body was cold. The Ge Xuan and Jiang Ziya he saw just now were in those areas. Was he talking with the heroic spirits and their obsessions?
"Immortal Ge Xuanweng and others have indeed disappeared for many years, but Immortal Master Ge Hong is still traveling abroad."
He has an answer. The terrible creature sealed underground is in charge of all this, and wants to take away his soul. He fought against the creature in the forbidden zone in the age of mythology
If you don't have the power of sealing, you will be in big trouble.
Ye Fan sighed, he believed that what Ge Hong and Jiang Ziya's heroic spirits said was true, but that was just an obsession being used, not their own.
Cultivating the Tao is really cruel. In order to live forever, many people end up in vain, bloody and empty.
Ye Fan walked most of the area and saw many dead places. Many Qi refiners died, only half remained, and most of the strong ones traveled abroad.
"In the future, there must be a battle here too," Ye Fan said softly, the time should be when he attained great achievement, or the day of enlightenment. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets,
