Immortality: Start Cultivating Immortality From Pingshan Mountain

Chapter 212 Elder Lochen of Wuku Temple [Five Thousand and Six]

time flies.

 About ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

 As autumn enters, the weather becomes colder and cooler, and there is a chill in the morning and evening.

On this day, a ferry boat arrived at the ancient ferry port of Shuixiang on the Yangtze River outside Jiujiang City.

There were only six people on the huge ferry, but on the densely packed river with thousands of sails crossing it, people could remember it at a glance.

 There is no other reason.

 The group of people, both male and female, are all of outstanding temperament.

 Especially the two women, they vividly interpret the cold and bright, the girlish and the mature.

Moreover, the costumes of this group of people are also extremely weird.

 Chen Yulou only brought Yang Fang and Miss Hong.

 In sharp contrast to the surrounding people who fled south to seek refuge.

 Hear the words.

 Use secret gold as the bones, the dragon's tendons as its veins, and the dragon's scales as its armor leaves.

Ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds cannot penetrate at all.

On the same day, Li Shuguo rushed back from Shijunshan as promised.

 After two days of seclusion, and adjusting the breath to the best state, I couldn't wait to ask him to protect me.

When it was delivered to Zhuangzi, even Chen Yulou was a little impatient and immediately took his heavy armor to the underground grotto to look for Kunlun.

 The ferocious aura was almost surging out, and every inch of his body exuded a heart-stopping aura.

Three of them were wearing blue and black robes with their long hair tied behind their heads. They were clearly Taoists practicing in Taoist temples in the mountains.

 It took one night.

 Think of that boy.

 Several people around him were obviously relieved.

 It’s hard not to notice them.

 Except for the three brothers and sisters of Partridge Whistle.

Helped him smelt the mercury-filled Zhudan.

 Made him look like an ancient ferocious beast.

This trip to the south is of course not for sightseeing, but for Elder Liaochen who became a monk at Wuku Temple.

Kunlun and Guaizi stayed in the village to practice.

As for the remaining two people, they are both tall and have blazing eyes.

 Especially in conjunction with the big halberd behind him.

After more than half a month, he finally lived up to his expectations and built the heavy dragon scale armor.

 The reason why he has been trying to build a heavy armor for him.

 Chen Yulou seemed to have traveled through a thousand years of history and appeared on the battlefield of Zhuxian Town, where he saw with his own eyes the fierce generals of the Beiwei Army wearing heavy armor.

 “It will be quick after crossing Jiujiang.”

After hearing that Kunlun was successful in cultivating Taoism and condensing energy that day, Huamaguai finally no longer dared to cheat and cheat, and made up his mind to catch up with everyone else.

 It is not an exaggeration to say that Dian Wei was reborn.

 The luster is bright.

 In addition, after having enlightenment, his face no longer looked as stupid as before.

 Chen Yulou is naturally happy to see this happen.

However, it will take a lot of time to completely refine it.

Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the vast river below him, Chen Yulou said softly.

 Nearly two meters tall, which is very rare in this era.

 It weighs dozens of kilograms.

Before departure.

 Chen Yulou, who was on the bow of the boat, couldn't help but have a flash of amazement in his eyes.

  Covered with dragon scales and heavy armor.

 Waiting for the moment he puts it on.

 As for Kunlun…

Just borrowed Zhu Dan to plant a spiritual seed in the sea of ​​​​qi so that he could continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

 Integrated.

 It’s not just out of curiosity.

It is to make up for Kunlun's last shortcoming, which is the lack of speed due to his excessive size.

 He is among the mountains and fields.

 The figure is naturally unmatched by anyone.

 But in a life-and-death fight, especially when facing equal or even stronger opponents, even a slight delay may be fatal.

 With this heavy armor, the lifeblood of the whole body is protected.

Even though he is a little slower, it is still enough to block a life-or-death blow, delaying the opportunity for him to rush into the formation and fight back.

Of course, in Chen Yulou's view, this heavy scale armor is still not perfect.

 There is one final step missing.

 That is the Heavenly Book.

 He had not had many ideas before, until he saw the magic whip in Yang Fang's hand, which was like an invisible big hand that pushed away all the fog.

 The magic whip itself is nothing more than an iron weapon.

But the reason why it can suppress corpses and demons is the talismans engraved on the whip.

 On the way to Wuku Temple.

Chen Yulou specially borrowed the magic whip from Yang Fang to observe.

 Plus the ghost-beating whip he got from Zhou Jiao.

 Mutual verification.

 A little bit of research.

Now the ideas in his mind have become clearer.

 Just waiting for this trip to end and returning to Chenjiazhuang, I plan to try to engrave the inscriptions in secret.

 “Everyone, we’re here.”

 Slightly absent-minded.

　　A reminder with a thick accent came from behind.

Chen Yulou subconsciously raised his head and realized that the ferry boat beneath him had crossed the vast Yangtze River and docked at the ferry wharf.

“Old man, I wonder how long it takes to get to Hubeiling from here?”

Several people led their horses and got off the boat one by one.

Chen Yulou took advantage of the situation and asked the old man on the ferry about the journey.

"where?"

 “Hubei Ridge of Lushan Mountain.”

The old man had never been out of Jiujiang in his life, so he couldn't understand the Xiang accent. Chen Yulou could only try to slow down his speaking speed.

 “Hubei Ridge, that’s not far away.”

 Hearing that they were going to Lushan Mountain, the old man immediately came to talk.

　　I repeatedly told you the route but did not tell you.

He also enthusiastically recommended the Immortal Cave to them, saying that the place is full of incense and the fortune telling is also effective.

I guess I saw that the three brothers and sisters in their group were all dressed as Taoists, and thought they were visiting a famous Taoist temple.

 “Thank you, old man.”

Chen Yulou couldn't laugh or cry, and it was hard to point out.

I could only wait patiently for him to finish, and then I handed over my hand.

"no, I'm fine."

 The old man waved his hands repeatedly, and then seemed to think of something.

“To talk about seeking immortality, we have to go to Longhu Mountain and Sanqing Mountain. If you are free, you can go for a walk.”

Hearing this, Chen Yulou's heart moved slightly.

 He didn't have much interest in the latter.

 But Longhu Mountain is different.

Cui Laodao was able to enter Taoism through the two half-day books he peeked at there.

 I wonder if he had a chance to observe it.

But this thought together made him unable to help but laugh out loud.

You must know that because Cui Laodao secretly peeked into the Heavenly Book, the Taoist of Longhu Mountain was furious. Since then, he has blocked the Five Thunder Palace and completely hid the Ghost Gate Heavenly Book.

 Without the Heavenly Master’s instructions, no one has the right to watch.

Even if you go, there is a high probability that you will return without success.

 “Okay, I’ve written it down.”

 He nodded to the old man.

 Chen Yulou didn’t waste any more time and took Long Ju off the boat. After meeting up with a few people, they ate something casually at the ferry, and then went straight to Hubeiling.

 About the location of Wuku Temple.

Chen Yulou still asked people to inquire repeatedly in the world, and then he got a clue.

At that time, when Tie Motou was fighting outside Luoyang City, he was hit by a funeral nail and died.

Thinking of the master’s last words before his death.

 To touch the gold captain, if you unite, you will live, if you divide, you will die.

Feitian Suanni was disheartened and headed south with two gold-touching talismans.

Until I encountered an ancient temple that had been abandoned for a long time when I was crossing Hubeiling, I felt something in my heart, so I decided to become a monk in the temple.

 It took quite a few years.

 Clean up abandoned ancient temples.

 Then he took the word "non-suffering" from the sentence in the Heart Sutra: "The collection of no suffering destroys the path, and there is no wisdom and no gain" and named the ancient temple.

 We are human beings in two lifetimes.

This is Chen Yulou’s first time traveling to Jiujiang.

This place was called Xunyang and Jiangzhou in ancient times. It is located at the junction of four provinces and has always been known as the "mouth of three rivers and the gateway to seven provinces".

In addition to Lushan Mountain, Poyang Lake, Donglin Temple and Bailudong Academy are all located here.

 Throughout the ages, countless celebrities and hermits have come and gone.

 A few months ago, the trip to Pingshan ended. The three brothers and sisters of Partridge Shao returned to their hometown of Peacock Mountain. They crossed the river from Hunan Province, detoured around Poyang Lake, and then entered Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

 Unexpectedly, it has been several months now.

　　　But I did it again.

However, for Chen Yulou, what impressed him most was that Jiujiang was only one state away, and the ancient city on the riverside was actually as prosperous as a city in Changsha.

 Walking through the small town.

 You can often see Western-style high-rise buildings.

 Even in the streets and alleys, foreign devils wearing suits and green eyes and curly hair can be seen everywhere.

Looking at their dress, they are not just preachers.

Pedestrians on the street seem to have become accustomed to their presence.

　　I asked Partridge Whistle before he responded.

Because of its natural geographical advantages, Jiujiang has been a port and city since the late Qing Dynasty, connecting the four places through the Yangtze River water transport. Those foreign devils also took a fancy to this and came and went to do business here.

Although Chen Yulou has a vision far beyond this era.

 But he was not very familiar with the local customs at this time.

Having been passing through the city, a familiar sight suddenly came to my face.

Even though it has already entered autumn, there are vast hectares of fertile fields, green mountains and clear waters, which makes people slow down unconsciously.

 It’s afternoon.

 The fields in sight were gradually replaced by undulating mountains.

The mountain is so high that it reaches the clouds. Looking up, one can see strange peaks rising from the ground. Valleys, caves, strange rocks, rapids, waterfalls, streams, and deep pools in the mountains can be seen everywhere.

 Have seen the roughness of Pingshan Mountain and the steepness of Zhelong Mountain.

Lushan Mountain is a perfect fusion of the two, with clouds covering it and fog surrounding it. At a glance, it is a vivid ink landscape painting.

 Unfortunately, this trip was too hasty.

 Chen Yulou and others had no time to stop and admire the mountain scenery.

Only when I occasionally encounter mountain people asking for directions, I will stop for a moment and walk all the way into the mountain from Lotus Cave. I walk in the mountain for more than two hours before finally entering the canyon.

 Stop between the cliffs.

He looked at the endless rift valley below him, which was at least dozens of feet deep.

Rao is a well-informed person.

 Can’t help but feel amazed.

What is even more strange is that there is only a suspended wooden bridge across the canyon.

I heard from the mountain people who went into the mountains to collect medicine that this was pretty good. In the early years, they had to risk their lives by wading through the Rift Valley River.

Seeing that the two men were strong and experienced, Chen Yulou casually asked them about the location of Wuku Temple.

“Wuku Temple?” “Are you going to burn incense and worship Buddha?”

 The older man couldn’t help but glance at the group of people when he heard the words Wuku Temple.

 “That’s not the case.”

“We are here specifically to visit Elder Chen.”

 Chen Yulou shook his head.

Although the old medicine farmer deliberately suppressed his emotions, the young man beside him looked almost identical to him, and he must be his son.

 The vigilance and scrutiny are almost written on his face.

 Looking at the reaction of the two people, Chen Yulou had an idea.

"You have met Elder Chen..."

"Shut up."

The young man was delighted, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old medicine farmer's cold voice.

Feeling the change in his father's eyes, the young man thought for a moment and immediately came to his senses.

You must know that since the chaos in the previous dynasty, there have been many bandits in Lushan Mountain. When the banditry was at its worst, almost all of the more than 170 peaks were occupied by people who claimed the mountain as king.

This group of people blocked roads, robbed, killed and set fires, and committed all kinds of evil.

 The surrounding villages and mountain people have suffered from bandits and bandits for a long time.

 Especially those families who have raised daughters.

  I am even more worried all day long.

 Having no choice but to leave home and go to make a living elsewhere.

This situation lasted until Master Chen came that year. No one took it seriously at first. There were countless hermits practicing in Lushan, but they either died at the hands of bandits or went down the mountain to escape.

 But Master Liaochen is different.

 Seeing mountain people in distress.

 He did not stand idly by.

Rather, he put down the Lushan banditry with one person's power.

There were countless people who were persuaded by him to put down the butcher knife. As for those who were stubborn, they ran away to death.

 Therefore, the mountain people spread rumors that Master Chen had both the heart of a Bodhisattva and the angry eyes of a Vajra.

But no matter what, these people have great reverence for Chen Chen, and they all say that he is the true Buddha who came to the world to save the people from water and fire.

 The origin of the group of people in front of me now is unknown.

If they are hostile to Master Chen, wouldn't they, father and son, become criminals?

 After all, it was the campaign to suppress bandits back then.

 It makes countless people hold grudges. Although those people have gone far away, there is no guarantee that they will come back to take revenge.

 Think this through.

The young man immediately shut up and refused to say another word.

“I’m overly worried. We are old friends of Elder Liaochen. Brother Yang Fang is of the same lineage as him. In total, he is Master Liaochen’s nephew.”

Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou didn't understand, so he just explained in a gentle voice.

"real?"

 The old drug farmer's eyes were filled with suspicion.

“Of course, if I don’t believe it, it’s better to do this.”

Chen Yulou took a step back and said, "Let this brother take the token and go find Elder Chen alone. We will stay here. When the mage sees the token, he will naturally know whether it is true or false."

 Hear this.

The father and son who collected herbs couldn't help but look at each other.

　　Obviously, he was interested in this plan.

“Okay, I believe you once, but I’m going to say something ugly first. Master Liaochen has a very high reputation in Kuanglu Mountain. If you have bad intentions, don’t blame me for turning your back on him."

The old farmer looked at several people carefully.

 Finally decided to take a risk.

 The main reason is that there is no evil spirit in them, especially Chen Yulou, who has a gentle face, outstanding temperament, speaks slowly and leisurely, and is not at all impatient, just like those teachers in the city.

If you are really the kind of bad guy who can see through it at a glance.

　　Today is considered death.

 He will not lead the wolf into the house.

 After all, if it hadn't been for Elder Liao Chen, there would have been no way for them to survive.

 “That’s natural.”

 Chen Yulou was not surprised by this.

From the tone and demeanor of the two people when they mentioned Chen Shi, we knew that the latter had a high reputation here.

 He nodded and agreed immediately.

　　Then he turned around and looked at Yang Fang, who was carrying the magic whip on his back.

“Brother Yang Fang, do you have any tokens of your master’s sect?”

 “Does this count?”

Yang Fang thought about it and took out a flat gold bead from his pocket.

 Approximately the size of a fingertip, with a hole in the middle.

As soon as Chen Yulou saw it, he immediately understood that it was clearly an abacus.

Golden Abacus has been a merchant for generations and has traveled around the world, and an abacus made of pure gold has never left his side.

However, his abacus is not used to calculate accounts.

The beads and frame of the abacus are fully engraved with the numbers of the heavenly stems and the earthly branches. They are specially used to calculate the five elements and calculate the eight directions.

 Took it and put it in his hand and looked down.

As expected, the golden bead was engraved with the character Geng.

 “Of course it can be counted.”

 This thing was probably given to him by the golden abacus when he came down from the mountain that day.

 One is to think about it.

Another person may not be worried that when his disciples wander around the world and are in trouble, they can also use this gold bead to go to a **** shop to exchange for some money to overcome the difficulties.

“Little brother, take it and go find Elder Chen.”

 “Just say it’s after an old friend.”

The young man first glanced at his father, and when the latter nodded, he took it carefully and put it in his pocket solemnly.

 “Go quickly and come back quickly.”

 The old medicine farmer reminded me.

The young man nodded, put down the bamboo basket and medicine hoe, and then strode across the suspension bridge, disappearing into the vast mountains in a short time.

 He ran all the way.

 The body is as agile as an ape.

Nearly half an hour later, we arrived at the halfway point of Hubei Ridge.

 I saw a patch of jagged rocks, waterfalls, deep pools, strange peaks and dangerous cliffs. The most surprising thing was that there was a large bamboo forest growing in the mountain col, with no end in sight at a glance.

 Suddenly a sea of ​​green emerged.

Outside the bamboo forest, a bluestone path extends inward.

 The moment he saw it, the young man couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

 Suppressed his emotions and hurried in along the path.

Not long after, an ancient temple appeared in the depths of the bamboo sea. It looked like it had been there for many years. The exterior walls were mottled and covered with vines, but the smoke curled up inside the temple, making it look quite secretive. .

 See the ancient temple.

 The young man's face suddenly became solemn.

Took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then stepped forward to knock on the door.

 “The door is not closed, come in.”

　　With the knocking of the door, the sound fell.

 An old, yet unusually gentle voice sounded.

The young man felt refreshed and carefully opened the courtyard door. The ancient temple was not big, with a front hall and a backyard.

 Look up.

An old monk wearing monk's robes outside the temple was looking at him calmly.

 “Mage…”

Seeing him, the young man immediately stepped forward and briefly talked about his previous experience outside the mountains.

 “After the old friend?”

Elder Liaochen looked surprised.

 He has been practicing here alone for many years, with green lanterns and yellow scrolls, far away from the hustle and bustle.

What's more, from the moment he escaped into Buddhism, all the previous human relationships in the world have been cut off.

Who is this old friend?

 He really didn’t guess it for a moment.

 “Oh, by the way, he gave me a token.”

The young man suddenly slapped his forehead, quickly took out the gold bead from his pocket and handed it over.

 Just as soon as it was taken out.

 It has not been handed out yet.

 Liao Chen's pair of calm eyes had already set off a huge wave.

 The state of mind of Qing Xiu for many years.

 The moment I saw the bead, I was immediately impressed by it.

 “Junior brother…”

"Mage, you...what's wrong with you?"

  Sensing something strange, the young man holding the abacus in both hands couldn't help but look up.

This is when I discovered that Master Luochen was regarded as a **** and Buddha in the hearts of the mountain people.

 At this moment, his face was actually pale.

 The thin body could not stop shaking.

 “Where are they?”

After regaining consciousness, Liao Chen took out the golden bead and gently rubbed the engraved writing on it with his fingers. He was already very sure in his heart and couldn't help but ask.

 “Beyond the Rift Valley Suspension Bridge.”

"take me."

"ah?"

 The young man was stunned for a moment.

None of the surrounding mountain people know that as he gets older, Master Liaochen has not left the mountain for several years.

 Let alone go down the mountain to greet people in person.

 This is simply unheard of.

 “Those people are extremely important to the poor monk, you lead the way.”

"okay."

 Hearing what the mage said, the young man was completely sure that those people were not talking nonsense.

 He nodded and walked out subconsciously.

But after taking a few steps, I realized something was wrong, so I turned around and went to help Lochen.

“No need, the poor monk can still walk.”

Lie Chen shook his head and declined his kindness.

Although he is old, he is not too old to walk yet.

 The reason why he has not gone down the mountain for many years is not because he is unable but because he is unwilling. Wuku Temple is like a prison cell he drew for himself.

 “Just hurry up and hurry.”

Young people dare not delay any longer.

　　Take him all the way out of the mountain.

He didn't even notice that the return trip was faster than the time when he came. Master Liaochen, who was already old in his heart, not only did not lag half a step behind, but the mountainous road was rugged and his breath was not disturbed.

 After all, it was Feitian Suanni who became famous in the world before entering the Golden Gate.

 Among the four, he deserves to be the first in terms of skill.

Even an iron grinding head is far inferior.

After walking through a dangerous cliff and entering the hanging bridge, Liao Chen saw a group of six or seven people sitting on the ground on the opposite side of the bridge from a distance, talking to an old medicine farmer.

 Chen Yulou was the first to notice the movement.

 Subconsciously, I stood up and took a look.

Even though there is a rift valley of hundreds of meters below me.

 The appearance of Luochen was still clearly visible to him.

  It’s almost exactly as imagined.

 “The mage...actually came down the mountain?”

　　Perceiving something strange about him, everyone around him also turned around to look.

 The moment when I saw the dust clearly.

 The old medicine farmer was suddenly moved and couldn't help but exclaimed.

“Brother Dao, Brother Yang Fang, and Elder Liaochen have all come down the mountain to greet him personally. It’s time for us to go up and pay our respects.”
