Chapter 28, Earth Fire Inheritance, Much Ado About Nothing

The thirteen barriers in the northwest refer to the thirteen mountain ranges that isolate the northwest prairie and the central and southern hills. These thirteen mountain ranges are surrounded by clouds and mist all year round and are extremely steep and are natural barriers. en8. If it wasn't for the help of the Great Mirror Tribe, who had the help of a holy place like the Temple of Heaven, it would not have been possible to break through the limitations of nature and break through the thirteen obstacles and take Fancheng directly.

When Lvtiantan broke through the Thirteen Obstacles, considering that Fancheng would be the capital in the future, he did not want Jingguo to be influenced by other sects, so he simply cleaned up the scattered sects on the mountain. But this huge Thirteen Obstacles is a bit of a slip through the net, such as the ancient temple before, and the Fire Gate on Cassia Mountain.

Cassia Mountain is the third mountain range from the southeast to the northwest, and the top of the mountain is already a little snowy in this late autumn season. The snow melted in the noon sun and flowed along the stream in front of the fire gate, clear and cold.

At this time, two little Taoist priests were groping fish in the stream down the mountain.

"Hey, did Qingfeng also go back to study?" A tall and thin little Taoist sighed and threw the fish basket aside.

The other little Taoist priest was fat and stout, and looked quite pleasing. When he saw him stop, he hurriedly quit: "Yes, yes, Brother Qingfeng has also returned to Jingguo to study. Brother Qingchen, why do we still need it? stay here?"

"For the sake of the Tao..." Qingchen said with a sigh, glanced at the basket with only a few small fish, and couldn't help worrying about today's dinner.

"But that old Niubi doesn't teach us Taoism at all. He makes us meditate every day. What's the use of meditation? I want to learn the Taoist methods of moving mountains and reclaiming the sea!" The fat little Taoist said with some dissatisfaction.

"Qingyuan, don't be so respectful as a lecturer, the master is naturally for our good." Qingchen frowned.

"Hey, he doesn't even catch fish! He even asked us to boil water to cook. He didn't want to accept apprentices at all, he just wanted to find a handyman! Senior brother, you have a good heart, I don't want to stay any longer!"

The plump Qingyuan threw the fish basket, turned around and ran into the Taoist temple to get his luggage. When he ran out again, Qingchen was taken aback: "What are you doing!?"

"Go home to study and become an official, if you are lucky, you can enter the Temple of Heaven to be a big sacrifice!" Qingyuan walked towards the woods with his belongings in his arms.

"Wait, this place is thousands of miles away from Jingguo, deep in the mountains and forests, where wild beasts are haunted, how can you run back alone!" Qingchen grabbed him anxiously.

"Although I haven't learned Taoism in the past two years, my strength has indeed increased a lot. It is very easy to deal with beasts!" Qingyuan was not afraid, and shook his sleeves vigorously, "Senior brother, let go!"

"It's not right for you to leave without saying goodbye, at least you should say something to the master first..." Qingchen didn't let go.

Qingyuan was afraid of tearing the cloth on the package, so he didn't dare to use too much force, so he could only stand in a stalemate with him: "Senior brother, please save it, brother Qingfeng is not saying goodbye? Old Niubi's mind!"

Qingchen's strength is not as good as Qingyuan's, one did not hold Qingyuan and ran out a few meters and disappeared into the dense forest.

As soon as he stomped his feet, he ignored the fish basket on the ground and rushed into the woods with Qingyuan.

"Qingyuan! Qingyuan! Where are you?" Qingchen shouted as he walked into the woods, and his voice echoed in the mountains.

It's a pity that Qingyuan seems to have run far away, and he has not found any trace of him after chasing it for a while.

As dusk approached, the woods began to darken. Qingchen felt a little hairy in his heart, so he had no choice but to go back along the same path, wondering how to explain to the master.

"This little Daoist..." A gentle and crisp voice suddenly sounded.

Qingchen shuddered, and the charming ghost stories in those books filled his mind at once. It is said that these strange things are always easy to see at dusk.

He desperately told himself that he couldn't turn back, but he was worried about what to do if the really lonely traveler asked him for help.

"Little Daoist, please stay. "Ya*wen*yan*qing*first*debut"" This time, he changed his voice to a much younger one, but it was calmer and quieter than the one just now.

This voice doesn't sound like a fox, could it be that someone is really asking for help?

Qingchen turned back and saw a peach blossom-like girl standing in the shadow of the dense forest, with spring water in her eyes, and a big man slowly walked out of the shadow of the trees. On the big man's shoulders sat a blind girl in a complicated sacrificial costume.

"You... who are you?" No matter how Qingchen looked at it, he felt that something was wrong with these people. This is the depths of the Thirteen Obstacles.

The blind girl jumped off the shoulder of the big man, and when she landed, black flames lingered faintly under her feet. Qingchen wiped his eyes, the black flame had disappeared, and he couldn't help wondering if he was wrong.

"We are wandering people, please let the little Taoist and your master inform you that we would like to take a break from your land for a while."

"This..." Qingchen was still worried about his junior brother's affairs. At this moment, there were several practitioners of unknown origin. He didn't know what to do for a while.

"If there is any inconvenience, don't force it, the little Daoist will point us to Dao'er who came out of the mountain." Yun Qing said politely when he saw that he was embarrassed and did not force it.

"No, no, it's not inconvenient, but the inside of the door is quite cold, and I'm afraid that I will neglect a few guests." Qingchen is also a solid eye. He saw a delicate girl among them and a blind one Eyes of the children, also dare not let them hurry in the middle of the night.

"Naturally, cultivators don't care about this." The blind girl smiled softly, but Qingchen felt that the smile was not as real and vivid as the other girl.

He thought about it again and again and said to a few people: "Come with me, the road to Tianhe Mountain is not easy."

"Thank you for the little Daoist." The girl followed him. The beautiful girl and the big man seemed to be headed by her, and they quickly chased after seeing her.

"My name is Yun Qing, this is Aman, and the one behind is Zheng Zhenzhen. Haven't asked about the name of the Daoist yet?" Yun Qing walked slowly, and easily followed behind Qingchen.

Qingchen's face was embarrassed. He had not been asked his name in such a serious manner: "Here, no, the poor Daoist's name is Qingchen, and he is a disciple of the Fire Sect in this mountain."

"What is the Fire Gate?" Zheng Zhenzhen suddenly interrupted and asked.

Qingchen was even more embarrassed. He naturally knew that his sect was not famous, but when he was suddenly asked by this beautiful girl, he didn't know how to answer.

"One of the three thousand Zuodao, and the same lineage as the Tianhuo sect in the 800 side sects. Beginning with the ancient Sun Zhenren, the technique of using fire to refine alchemy in the Fire Scripture is very advanced and has its own uniqueness. However, it is different from Tianhuo. Zong's technique of raising fire and refining the heart is a small path in comparison." Yun Qing replied lightly.

Qingchen was stunned, he didn't even know about these things. There are only two or three big cats and kittens in this fire door, but the girl said that it is still from the ancient Taoist door!

"This... uh, fellow Daoist, you really know our Fire Sect very well!"

"Is the fire door in front?" Yun Qing suddenly said.

"Yes, let me lead a few people in." Qingchen took a look and unknowingly walked to the edge of the stream. He was about to lead a few people in but was stopped by Yunqing.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the little Daoist is not too long to get started? It's not so easy for foreign cultivators to worship the mountain. Just listen to what your master has to say."

Qingchen felt that the girl was really knowledgeable, and she didn't know what the background was. She glanced at her in admiration and ran into the mountain gate.

This Fire Gate is built on the mountain, and a part of the entire mountain is hollowed out as a place for practice. Earth fire, that is, the natural fire from the center of the earth, is also good for refining alchemy.

Qingchen ran into the master's alchemy room and took a look, and when he saw that there was no flash of fire, he knew that his master was not concocting alchemy at the moment. So he knocked gently on the door.

"Master, disciple Qingchen has something to ask for."

"Come in." A slightly vicissitudes voice said lightly.

"Master..." Qingchen saluted, but for a while he couldn't speak. Should I tell Master and Junior Brother that he ran away first, or should I talk about those wandering people?

"But what about your junior brother?" A middle-aged and beautifully-bearded Taoist priest wearing a white Taoist robe with a flame pattern printed on his back was meditating in front of the Dan furnace.

"Yes...not all of them..." When Qingchen heard this, he panicked. He was afraid that Shizun would punish Junior Brother Qingyuan.

The middle-aged Taoist still looked calm, but the fire in the alchemy furnace became more and more irritable: "Everyone has his own aspirations, and he gave up this avenue to seek wealth and honor in the world, this is his own choice, you don't have to Take it to heart."

"Yes, Master." Hearing what Master said, Qingchen couldn't explain anything, he continued, "There are only a few wandering cultivators, and I want to borrow us to stay here for a while, let me ask Master Respect you..."

"Cultivator You Fang?" The middle-aged Taoist stroked his beard and frowned. They belonged to a mountain gate that did not join the WTO, and they may not have seen a visiting cultivator for hundreds of years, and they did not know how the other party found this place.

"Yes, the other party's cultivation base is good, and he is quite particular. It just looks like he is in trouble." Qingchen expressed his guess.

"You go and ask them, what is the way of understanding, and what is the method of participating." The middle-aged Taoist raised his hand to draw a Taoist talisman from the void, and handed the talisman to Qingchen.

Qingchen nodded and retired, ran down the mountain again, and gave Yun Qing the talisman.

Yun Qing silently glanced at the content on the talisman, added his answer to the back, and handed the talisman to Zheng Zhenzhen.

This is the first time Zheng Zhenzhen has seen this method of worshiping the mountain gate, and she can't help but be a little curious. She has just cultivated her true qi, and she is not very skilled in picking up her answer. She handed the talisman back to Qingchen and said with a smile, "I'm sorry."

It was actually the first time for Qingchen to experience this, and Zheng Zhenzhen's face turned red. He didn't dare to read the contents of the talisman for a while, so he quickly ran back to the pill room and handed the talisman to the beautiful bearded Taoist priest.

"These two are not small..."

Qingchen didn't know how to see the other party's background from these few questions.

"Invite them to come and talk with me." The middle-aged Taoist thought for a while, but still agreed with a few people to come in.

Qingchen was about to break his legs while running, so he finally brought Yun Qing and others to the door of the pill room.

"A few please."

This pill room is very big, and there is a huge hollow in the middle, surrounded by black meteorite iron to form a magic circle, from which the earth is used for fire. A huge bronze cauldron hangs above the ground fire, and the cauldron is embossed with simple flame patterns.

Beside the Dan stove, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a beautiful beard looked at a few people in surprise: "There were three, but I thought there were only two Taoists when I saw the pilgrimage."

Yun Qing heard that the other party was slightly dissatisfied, she frowned and explained: "It really can only be regarded as two people. Aman is a spiritless thing."

The middle-aged Taoist priest was even more surprised. He looked at A Mang back and forth several times before saying, "I was reckless. Please sit down."

As soon as he finished speaking, two flaming futons appeared in front of several people.

Yun Qing thanked her, and Shi Shiran sat down, the flames couldn't get close to her.

Zheng Zhenzhen here is in trouble. The flames on the futon are red, and a violent heat is coming. Just sitting down like this will not burn his butt?

"This is the door to discuss the law, you just sit down, I have my own way." Just when Zheng Zhenzhen didn't know what to do, Yun Qing's voice got into her ears.

Zheng Zhenzhen gritted his teeth and sat down. Unexpectedly, this futon is not hot at all, but has a jade-like coolness.

What Yun Qing had built himself was the Great Sun Black Sky Wheel, which was famous for being fierce and violent. He had been in contact with the Great Sun Demon Flame a lot on weekdays, and it was more than enough to suppress this ground fire. So it's okay to be a little distracted and help Zheng Zhenzhen with a Xuanyuan Huayushu.

"The two of you are really amazing. I took the fire from the heart of the earth, and even the meteorite iron will be turned into molten iron. You are actually unscathed." The middle-aged Taoist smiled, but his face was not very hanged.

Baimen asked, opening the door to discuss the law.

This is also a common trick among loose cultivators. These are almost invisible in the orthodox monasticism. The orthodox monastic sects don’t even have time to comprehend their own avenues. Where does the time come from to compete with others casually?

"Many thanks to the Taoist priest for taking him in, I still don't know what the leader's name is?" Yun Qing ignored his slightly sour compliment.

"Huo Zhenren in the lower ground." The middle-aged Taoist's face became more and more ugly, and he felt that Yun Qing was defiant.

Every generation of suzerain of Dihuomen is called Dihuo Zhenren.

"My name is Yun Qing, this is Aman..."

"My name is Zheng Zhenzhen!" This time Zheng Zhenzhen finally kept up with the rhythm of the conversation.

The middle-aged Taoist priest became more and more dissatisfied, thinking that he didn't even report the Taoist title, and he must be someone who hides his head and shows his tail.

"This time there is a lot of harassment, and I would like to ask you a few things." Yun Qing saw the expression of the real Dihuo, and knew that he had a bad temperament and was not a person who could concentrate on the Dao, so he lost the interest in communicating. Ask straight to the point.

"Please say it." The real Dihuo forced out a kind look.

"Dare to ask where the mountain gate of Mianfeng Corridor can be reached?"

Of the seven holy places, only the Temple of Heaven is a member of the WTO. The altar of walking is humane and needs to be in constant contact with the world, so the altar of walking is easy to find. The other sects are not members of the WTO, and there is absolutely no way to find their sects except for someone to lead the way.

When Master Dihuo heard that the other party asked about the seven holy places, he felt more and more that Yun Qing and others were making him happy.

"This... the poor man doesn't know."

Yun Qing was a little disappointed. Originally, she thought that Earth Fire Gate was an ancient heritage and should have some connection with the Seven Holy Lands, but when she came here, she read it over and over again with the book of heaven, but found that it really had nothing to do with it. Moreover, this Fire Sect has somehow fallen to this level. Except for Qingchen, who I saw at the beginning, the others are just mortals in the skin of cultivators. No matter their temperament or aptitude, they are all in a mess.

This real fire person is even more narrow-minded, a person full of small calculations but not interested in the Dao, who is in the position of the sect master but does not even have a cultivation base for entering the Dao.

"If that's the case, let's say goodbye first." Yun Qing got up.

Anyway, this person doesn't know anything, so it's better to go straight to the Northwest Plateau than to stay here, maybe there will be some clues.

Yun Qing is anxious to find an inheritance that can keep nourishing her soul and reduce the trauma caused by using the Book of Heaven. Now that national teacher showed her a way, that is, the idea of ​​the lotus heart of the Guiling Temple. However, it is impossible for such a top line of inheritance to be given to a person of unknown origin, not to mention that Guiling Temple does not accept female disciples. Therefore, to get this idea of ​​the lotus heart, the idea of ​​​​empty storage can only be detoured.

So Yunqing hit on the idea of ​​Mianfenglang, an old neighbor of Guiling Temple and his nemesis. Mianfeng Corridor and Guiling Temple are among the seven holy places with the most wars, but one is a peaceful and compassionate Buddhist holy place, and the other is a cultivator sect composed of women who are indifferent to the world. This has always amazed the Taoist world. .

As long as you find the Mianfeng Corridor, you will find the Guiling Temple, and maybe you can take the idea of ​​the lotus heart while they are fighting.

Just when Yun Qing took Zheng Zhenzhen and A Mang and turned to leave, the beautiful bearded Taoist said loudly: "The two Taoists stay, I also have something to ask for!"
