Chapter 953
, I have heard for a long time that Lingbao's hometown is a pure scholar who is admired by the monks. In those days, Master Ge Hong was amazing in the Middle Earth. He was one of the strongest people in the history of Taoism. "Evan said.
Guo Zhen also stepped forward and saluted, asking for accommodation. They were not disrespectful. It was because of their respect that they came here to visit, hoping to satisfy their wish.
"To admire the relics of sages, you can go to the Taoist temple outside. This secret land is never open to the outside world." A disciple of Lingbaomen was cold and unpleasant.
As expected, the four young people and Guo Zhen's friendship was as watery as water, and they had all followed here, but they were so ruthless that they didn't help to say a word, and they were so cold and contemptuous.
"Although I've known each other, this place does not allow idle people to enter." Another person was very direct, classifying him and Ye Fan as idle and contemptuous.
, "What kind of person is considered idle?" Seeing Guo Zhen embarrassed, Ye Fan asked, saying that he wouldn't leave just like that, and Ge Hong had to take a look at what he said while sitting at the gate.
"Don't you really think that you are a senior?" Another young man couldn't help laughing.
The old Taoist next to him once said that only seniors and masters can come here to teach scriptures and teach Taoism, and they can enter and exit the pure land of Lingbao in the past, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.
"There are thirty-three steps at the mountain gate, which represent the heavenly position of ascending the immortal and becoming the Taoist. If any of you can pass the eighth step on the throne of the seal of the gods, you can barely pass the test and can enter.
' said the old Taoist priest.
Several ancient pine trees, like Canglong lying on the back, stand at the foot of the mountain. According to legend, Ge Hong personally planted them in those days.
There are thirty-three steps there, which are different from the bluestone steps leading to the mountain. It is said that this was the most common test in ancient times. Even a Daoist who served a real person was able to walk through the thirty-three steps, otherwise he would not be able to. 〗 By up and down the mountain.
But now, only the elders can walk, and ordinary disciples can only detour and avoid these stone steps from the side road, which is incomparable with the ancient times.
Ye Fan wanted to go up in one breath." But Guo Zhen was very stubborn, he insisted on giving it a try, and was repeatedly despised by people he knew, and he was inevitably a little angry and difficult to calm down.
One step, two steps, three steps, Guo Zhen felt exhausted with only three steps out of his own way, and it was difficult to take the fourth step. Due to the environment of heaven and earth, compared with the ancient monks, the cultivation base of today's inquirers is generally low, and it is difficult to improve.
Next to them, the four young people chuckled and shook their heads. They didn't even dare to walk up the stone steps, thinking that Guo Zhen would only make a fool of himself if he didn't understand this.
,"brush"
A group of blue-blue light lit up, and a blue-gold sheet appeared in Guo Zhen's hand, with a talisman engraved on it, "extremely ancient, overflowing with strips of blue-gold light, covering him.
"Break", "Bang"...
Guo Zhen took six steps in a row, and in total he took nine steps, reaching the standard that the old man said, "he was sweating profusely, and then jumped out of the stone steps with all his strength and withdrew.
The four young people next to him were all surprised, staring at the blue-gold sheet in his hand. The talisman on it was very mysterious, and it allowed Guo Zhen to have such a performance all of a sudden. Under normal circumstances, these four people can't do it at all, and they can only take three steps. I never thought that Guo Zhen would actually do it.
The old Taoist was also very surprised, staring at the blue-gold talisman and staring at it non-stop." He said, "Although you have used a spiritual tool, you can barely pass the test." You can go up."
Guo Zhen let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat off his head." He put away the blue-gold flakes cautiously, at his level, he couldn't put his troops into the inner round sea.
, "It's just relying on foreign objects, what kind of ability is this." The young man said in a low voice, but the four of them also felt that they had lost face, so they didn't stay any longer and went up the mountain.
Guo Zhen took such nine steps and seemed to be exhausted. After returning, he hurriedly sat on the ground and recovered his energy.
Ye Fan looked at the thirty-three stone steps, and walked up step by step until he finished all the steps, and then walked down again.
Below, the old Taoist was almost terrified, and his mouth was speechless. He knew that when he saw a real expert, he would call his senior, and then saluted.
Ye Fan stopped him, shook his head, and then came to Guo Zhen's side and applied a pure divine strength, which immediately wiped away his tiredness, and his whole body was comfortable and restored to its original state.
, "Brother Ye" was naturally taken aback, and quickly opened his eyes.
, "1 Bu Daoer, I usually use the magic weapon to store an extra inner yuan." Ye Fan explained with a smile.
Guo Zhen was relieved, otherwise he really thought that he had met a senior, and it would be very draining to save one's vitality. If the magic weapon contained it, it was two different things.
The old Taoist respectfully watched them follow a path up the mountain leading to the Taoist temple on the rooftop, but he did not move, shook his head vigorously, and continued to guard the mountain gate.
Along the way, all I saw were pines and cypresses, and cranes were flying in the sky, circling from time to time.
This place looks like a fairyland, and it is many times stronger than the outside world.
When they arrived at the broken platform, the first thing they saw was a bluestone statue. It was a Taoist, Taoist fairy, with a calmness and a feeling of lightness and lightness, as if he had seen through the world. everything of.
This is a statue erected by later generations to commemorate Immortal Master Ge Hong.
The Lingbao School has played a pivotal role in the history of Taoism and its influence is unparalleled. Gezao Mountain has also become one of the three holy mountains of Taoism.
Ye Fan stood on the roof, looking down at the four directions, and saw the clouds and mists surging, the mountains were majestic, and the valley was beautiful.
There are still several broken mountains in the distance standing side by side with this place. Although the spiritual energy has dried up, there is a trace of the participation of the avenues of good fortune, which makes his heart tremble. Is it Ge Hong?
He came to the hometown of Lingbao Sect to pursue Ge Hong's legacy. In addition, he also wanted to verify whether a secret that was too illusory was true.
In Taoism, the Lingbao sect plays a pivotal role and holds the bull's ear, because the Lingbao Tianzun, which is the center of the Three Purities in Taoism, originated from this vein. It is recorded in the history of Taoist exhibitions that the sect participated in the positioning of the Sanqing.
, "It is rumored that in the era far before ancient times, there was a goddess named Lingbao, I don't know if it is true or not." Ye Fan said to himself.
Lingbao Tianzun, and today's Taoism is respected by all branches of Taoism, whether it really exists or not has long been unverifiable for the practitioners.
The fact that Lingbao School took such a name to establish a school is enough to explain everything, and also indirectly proves its supreme status in Taoism.
Ye Fan caught the traces of good fortune on the avenue, and he had heard about the origin of the Nine Secrets when he was on the other side of the starry sky. Some people say that it was created by the deceased Tianzun of Taoism. It is also said that a secret technique left behind by the supreme figures of different periods in the Primordial Age was combined by later generations. Others say that the Nine Secrets are the result of countless people's perfection.
"Ge Hong may have one or two of the Nine Secrets, and it is not difficult to make some associations from the name of the faction. Could it be that Lingbao Tianzun was one of the few Tianzun who created the Nine Secrets?"
On Broken Mountain, these Taoist temples are very ancient. Although the great supernatural powers have disappeared, everything here proves its former glory. The remaining sages with incomplete Taoist marks are shocking.
However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too thin, these things are difficult to operate, and for some reason, they are slowly self-destructing, and they will all be wiped out in the long run.
"Is this the senior you are talking about?" A young girl stood in front of a Taoist temple and smiled lightly, looking at Ye Fan and Guo Zhen with a beautiful appearance, and there were some young people beside them.
, "Yeah, this is someone who has passed through the nine bluestone steps. You should ask for more advice later." One of the four-year-old young monks who had known Guo Zhen snorted.
Several people immediately laughed when they heard the words. They were all descendants who came here with the elders of the division. Obviously, they had known each other for a long time. Ye Fan patted Guo Zhen on the shoulder and asked him to meditate. There was nothing to worry about and dragged him to the Taoist temple together.
"You guys really go in, that's where the elders take turns, do you still want to teach me the scriptures?"
A group of people came in after seeing this. The courtyard was green with grass and towering ancient trees. Not far away, there were more than a dozen old people sitting cross-legged on the futon, and some young people were listening to the sermon.
Ye Fan pulled Guo Zhen to find two futons on the edge and sat down. Some young people suddenly looked over.
"You really, really think of yourself as a master and dare to sit here?" The four young people who knew Guo Zhen were not contemptuous now, but showed sympathy.
Many people looked at it, and even those senior figures noticed this place, and they were all a little surprised.
, "What's wrong?" Guo Zhen was a little puzzled.
, "Look at me waiting for who dares to sit down, don't they all stand here respectfully and listen to the truth?"
"Aren't they also young people, and they sat there too." Guo Zhen pointed to a dozen young men and women in front of him suspiciously.
, "Guo Zhen, you are so naive, can the two of you compare with them, those are the core genius disciples who came out of the secret soil."
The young men and women standing were both envious and jealous of those people, but shook their heads at Ye Fan and the two of them, especially the four of them earlier showed a sneer, looking like they were watching the fun.
Guo Zhen was at a loss, and was about to stand up. Ye Fan stopped him and said, he sat down, and there was no need to get up again.
, "Who are you, why are you sitting here, and who invited you in?"
On the opposite side, a core disciple sitting on a futon asked.
Ye Fan took a closer look and found that these young people are not bad, they are all above the realm of Life Spring. Compared with others, they are indeed very ordinary.
, "They walked up the nine stone steps on their own." Someone quickly repeated the passage.
The dozen or so old people were all startled, and they looked at the two seriously, which made Guo Zhen feel uncomfortable all of a sudden. At the same time, Ye Fan was watching them. These masters were all in the secret realm of the Taoist Palace, and they were indeed very powerful in this era, and there were even three people in the secret realm of Siji.
"Really, I came up on my own, then let me try to see if I am qualified to sit here." Lingbao sent a core disciple to stand up from the futon, in the late stage of the life spring realm.
, "Didn't you have tried the Tao down below, why do you continue?" Guo Zhen has a big head, he is a loose cultivator, and everyone here is a disciple of the great sect. It is said that some secret soils are very likely There are living great supernatural beings, so sect disciples can't afford to provoke them.
, "The trial road at the mountain gate is too simple. Anyone with a decent cultivation base can go to the first step. It's nothing. If you can go to the fourth step on that ladder, I have nothing to say. I respect your seniors. It's fine." The young man pointed to the highest Taoist platform, where there were also thirty-three stone steps leading directly to the platform.
Everyone else changed when they saw it, what is this place? It is the place where the ancient headmasters preached on the stage. Is there anyone who can go up today?
, "I have heard that Immortal Master Ge Hong of the Lingbao School once wrote a Taoist book discussing the Nine Secrets. If we can go up to it, we will not be hard on others, just tell us the origin of the Nine Secrets." Ye Fan said.
He came for the Nine Secrets, and his purpose was very clear. He wanted to determine whether the Lingbao Sect really had one or two secrets!
Many people laughed, only a dozen old Taoist priests moved, but after seeing Ye Fan, they relaxed again, and did not notice any profound Taoism.
, "Do you really think that you can compare to the ancient headmaster Supreme?"
, "Even if there are great supernatural powers today, they may not be able to complete the thirty-three-story ladder, just rely on you?"
Many people laughed, sarcastically, feeling very unreliable, and a few people who knew Guo Zhen shook their heads, and they really sympathized with these two. a.
