345、Three levels
The remaining four people walked for another seven or eight minutes, and looked up and saw another pavilion appearing by the road. Dongfang Jing asked, "Mr. Shi, let's get to that pavilion to rest for a while, and then let's go back with you?"
Shi Liangde waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I feel that I can hold on for a while. How many pavilions are there on this road?"
Dongfang Jing: "There are two pavilions on the third section of the road, and I have already walked here two-thirds of the way. Before I mastered the secret methods of the various Guanshan Mountains when I was a child, my master asked me to walk to the second pavilion before I could rest and return."
Ashijuzi: "How young were you when you were a child?"
Dongfang Jing: "At fifteen or six years old."
Shi Liangde: "That's not small anymore!"
The four of them passed the pavilion for the second time and continued to climb up. The road here was not something that ordinary people could grit their teeth and rely on physical strength or perseverance. It seemed ordinary, but it became more and more difficult to walk, as if they passed through the invisible and viscous glue-like shape, and the higher the air, the more they went, the more viscous the air...
Dongfang Jing said again: "If you want to cross the mountains, you can't stop at a single step here. As long as you stop, all the resistance and pressure will disappear..."
All the pressure and resistance have disappeared. Of course, people feel relaxed, but don’t forget that the resistance on this mountain road is gradually increasing. They are keeping a constant rhythm and walking here. If they have reached the limit, and stop and relax, and want to take steps, they feel the sudden and unusual resistance, and then there is no possibility of continuing to move forward.
The few people continued to walk for about fifteen minutes. Shi Liangde was already sweating heavily. The sweat between his hair even turned into a shallow white fog. He kept drinking drinks, and finally stopped with a sigh and said, "I can't cross this mountain range!"
As soon as he stopped, everyone else stopped. Dongfang Jing did not hide the surprise in his eyes: "Mr. Shi, you have surprised me very much. This is the first time you have taken this mountain road, and even the third section has been halfway through. Although it has not crossed today, it will be not difficult to succeed in time!"
Lu Juzi also said: "Since Mr. Shi wants to rest, let's go back together. We don't have to worry about visiting the Second Pass Mountain at this moment."
Meng Santong said, "I can just accompany Mr. Shi down the mountain. Anyway, I have been to the Second Pass. Master Lu is here for the first time, so let's continue visiting with the Lord of Dongfang Mountain."
Except for Lu Juzi, the other three people were actually able to cross this mountain range to reach the Second Guard Mountain. The cooperation project with Zhuci Guanshan was led by Meng Santong some time ago. Of course, he had been to the Second Guard Mountain long ago and could stay and escort Shi Liangde down the mountain today.
Shi Liangde also waved his hand politely: "The Lord of Dongfang Mountain and Master Lu don't have to worry about me. Just have Xiao Meng accompany you. I will take a break and go down the mountain. I will wait for you to come back in the First Pass Mountain."
The visitors were organized by Shi Liangde. If Dongfang Jing was not there, the rest of the first mountain was all his own people. Of course, Shi Liangde had nothing to worry about. Lu Juzi nodded and said, "Okay, I will go with the Lord of Dongfang Mountain to see you. Mr. Shi will go down the mountain to rest, and wait for a while before finding an opportunity to cross this mountain range."
Dongfang Jing was surprised, and Lu Juzi was also surprised. They didn't expect Shi Liangde to be able to walk here. The two pavilions divided the mountain road into three sections, and the last section was halfway through, which meant that Shi Liangde had completed five-sixths of the entire journey, and it was only half a short section to cross the mountains.
What does it mean to cross a mountain? That is, the cultivation has broken through the three realms, can enter and exit the outside world without any obstacles, and can initially sacrifice and master the wonderful uses of the treasures in the control world - if he practices the corresponding secret method.
Shi Liangde is already sixty years old. It is surprising that he has been practicing the secret technique of Jingsha Island for a short time. He has been able to do this level. Either he has another adventure or he has excellent talent.
Although it would be particularly difficult to stop and continue climbing, there was no problem for Dongfang Jing and Lu Juzi. They quickly finished this mountain road. Standing on the ridge line at the top of the valley entrance, there was a large gentle slope in front of them, with green grass extending into the distance. Streams and lakes can be seen in the valley plains, and further a mountain range is another.
Lu Juzi walked down the hill: "This is the Second Guanshan Mountain, the real place for disciples of the Guanshan Mountain to practice and live in seclusion?"
Dongfang Jing: "Yes, only by reaching the Second Guanshan can you become the descendant of the Zongji Guanshan. I thought that in the beginning, I spent two years under the supervision of my master in order to cross the mountain range just now."
Lu Juzi: "Why are there no houses here?"
Dongfang Jing pointed to the mountain range farther across the plain and said, "The cave was built between the cliffs over there. The place was very large, and there was no problem with dozens of people living there, but ordinary people couldn't come here."
Lu Juzi sighed: "It feels like reincarnation after passing through the mountain and the mountain! Forget the kind of guests who came today. If the other party's external alliance is open in the future, everyone can visit the second mountain and clean up a few caves under the cliffs there to let them rest, so that they will be more interested."
Dongfang Jing: "I think so too. Manager Meng's tour guide method today also gave me some inspiration. Among the visitors from Fangwai Alliance, many of them have the ability to reach the Second Pass Mountain, and there is no need for me to cast spells to protect their body and spirit at all times. Occasionally, some younger generations can come to Manager Meng's way today, first protect the body and spirit for a while, and then let their son move freely in and out of the First Pass Mountain."
Lu Juzi: "If such younger disciples come to visit, the Lord of Dongfang Mountain can also organize them to climb the mountain. If the season is right, then I will give you a bowl of dragon tendon flower and fruit soup. This is also a kind of cultivation investigation and practice experience. The elders of all families will definitely thank you very much."
Dongfang Jing: "Master Lu doesn't know anything. If you want to cross a mountain range, of course, it depends not only on the level of cultivation, but also on the mountain road, I must hold the treasure of the control world to open it. If you provide this kind of visiting service, I will take them to climb the mountain every time."
Before he knew it, Dongfang Jing's name for Lu Juzi also became Master Lu, and this change was very subtle. Tian Zhongluo's subordinates called him Master Tian because everyone around him knew that he was good at showing off and was proud of his face. The titles of Mr. Tian, Boss Tian, and Teacher Tian were not stylish enough. As a result, this trick was later learned by Lu Juzi's subordinates.
He simply called Lu Juzi the master of Lu Cave, and his sense of respect seemed to be almost the same. After he incorporated the disciples of Youhuaijie, a few of them started to call him Lu Master, and as a result, everyone else learned it. It can be seen that Lu Juzi is very useful to this title, so Shi Liangde simply called it that way, giving face without spending money. At this moment, Dongfang Jing is following the same thing.
Lu Juzi expressed deep sympathy: "Actually, we are all helping. The Lord of Dongfang Mountain is the only tour guide here. It depends on you to open the portal, to protect everyone's form and spirit, and to lead everyone to climb the mountain. The Lord of the Mountain is so hard! The inheritance of Guanshan Mountain is thin, so you have not thought of cultivating more of the younger generations, or you can share your worries."
Dongfang Jing: "It is not that easy to cultivate the descendants of the secret realm of heaven and earth in contemporary society. It was not easy for my master to train me back then. Even if I find good seedlings to cultivate them, it will take time. Let's not talk about this, Mr. Shi surprised me today. He is definitely not an ordinary person. Could it be the secret method taught by Master Lu?"
Lu Juzi replied: "It is indeed the secret method I taught. This Mr. Shi is his own person!"
Lu Juzi was telling the truth, but there was a small misunderstanding between the answers. Lu Juzi passed on Shi Liangde to the secret technique of Jingsha Island, while Dongfang Jing thought it was Lu Yu Cave secret technique. What neither of them knew was that Shi Liangde actually had another adventure.
The two masters of the outside world walked side by side, crossing the fields, floating in autumn grass like fairies, and finally reached the foot of another mountain range in the distance. Looking up, it seemed as if they had returned to the First Pass Mountain, and there was a straight road leading to the high valley entrance.
Outside this mountain road, there are also stone steps on the hillsides on both sides, which are chiseled between the rock walls and winding to lead to different caves. These stone steps and caves are invisible in the distance, and are cleverly blocked by mountain rocks and vegetation. Lu Juzi pointed to the line of mountain road in front of him and asked: "Can you continue to reach the Third Pass Mountain from here by climbing the mountains?"
Dongfang Jing nodded with shame and said, "Yes, there are three Guanshans in all Guanshan, but so far I can't cross this mountain. Not only me, but my master has reached the Third Guanshan in his life, which is a pity for life."
Lu Juzi asked again tentatively: "If you want to cross this mountain range, do you also need the mountain master to open the road with the Guanshan Whip in your hand?"
Dongfang Jing: "There is no need. If Master Lu wants to try it, just walk up by himself. This mountain road seems to be right in front of me, but I can't step into it at all. I don't know what the third mountain is like."
Lu Juzi smiled and shook her head: "The Lord of Dongfang Mountain has never been to the Third Pass Mountain in person. After all, I am just a guest, so don't go in a mess."
Dongfang Jing: "Master Lu is so polite. You are also your own person. If you can cross this mountain range, I also hope to know what the situation is there. As for other visitors, you can't let them try it casually. I heard that other secret realms of open heaven and earth have also defined the central restricted area, so this is the restricted area of Zhucishan, but for Master Lu, you are exceptional."
Lu Juzi asked just now, in fact, he was trying to go to the Third Pass Mountain to see it, but the owner had never been to, so it was difficult for him to enter without permission, so it seemed too rude to make a request directly, so he tested Dongfang Jing's attitude.
Since Dongfang Jing said this, Lu Juzi was not in a hurry and waved his hand and said, "I'm just curious, and I'm not sure I can cross this mountain range. Let's take a look around first and replenish my energy."
The two visited more than 20 caves of all sizes and sizes on the cliffs. Lu Juzi pointed to an ancient vine as thick as a bowl on the cliff and said, "This dragon-stem vine seems to be particularly extraordinary!"
Dongfang Jing: "This is a thousand-year-old dragon glutinous vine, which is rare in the entire Guanshan Mountains. It is said that the rhizomes of dragon glutinous vine have the effect of easy tendons and marrow washing. In fact, only the spiritual effect of dragon glutinous vine over a thousand years is truly pure. With Master Lu's cultivation, the decoctions or rhizomes just now have not been very helpful to you, but the thousand-year-old dragon glutinous vine should still be of some use. I have specially prepared a gift for you."
He brought Lu Juzi into a cave. The cave was not big, but only had two fronts and backs. The outer wall was chiseled as a wall. He also used natural rocks to create a hidden front yard, and the inner room was a quiet room. There was a box on the table in the outer room. When the box was opened, it was a tender core of a half-foot long and a wine glass.
Dongfang Jing handed the box to Lu Juzi and said, "This is the root of the Thousand-year-old Dragon Tendon Vines. I have taken out the root core essence and told Master Lu how to refine and process it. You can enjoy this product here or take it out for processing and taking it."
Lu Juzi: "This gift is so precious, how can it make me feel guilty about it!"
Dongfang Jing: "Master Lu is too humble. This is my thanks. Please accept it."
Dongfang Jing is also a person of particularity. Lu Juzi has invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to cooperate with him, and has also brought him huge benefits. Just today, he brought him 13 million in income at one time. Where can I find such a good thing? I will also expect Lu Juzi to help more in the future. In short, I must try my best to establish a good relationship.
Lu Juzi accepted the gift, and Dongfang Jing said again: "Actually, I still have something to ask for. Can you try to enter the third level mountain? If you succeed, tell me the situation there, but you can forget it.
The thousand-year-old dragon glutinous vines are extremely rare in the first pass mountain, and they are very rare in the second pass mountain. I don’t know if there are still in the third pass mountain. If Master Lu sees it, if there are more than a hundred trees, you might as well take two pieces of rhizome and stem to bring it out for me…”
Dongfang Jing gritted his teeth and gave Lu Juzi one of the roots and stems of the Thousand-year-old Dragon Tendon Vines. In fact, it was very distressing. But if there were more in the third level mountain and Lu Juzi could get there and help me get a few, then this gift would not be a loss.
Lu Juzi had already wanted to go, and when he said this, he nodded happily. He first chose a cave for about an hour, and waited for his energy and spirit to be at the peak of his relative state, and then came to the mountain road. Lu Juzi took the next step of Dongfang Jing's attention, and then disappeared out of thin air in front of him!
Rai Juzi did not disappear first, but her whole body suddenly disappeared at the same moment. This situation is a bit like entering the outside world, either you can't get in at all, or you just go in directly. There is no situation where half of the first come in and half remains.
Dongfang Jing was shocked, found a mountain rock and sat down and waited, and couldn't help but sigh. The mountain road in front of him was always out of reach for him and his master, but Lu Juzi disappeared without knowing where he took a step forward. He must have entered, and he had to admit that there was a gap in his cultivation!
The step Lu Juzi took was never simple. First, he sensed the place where he was settled with his divine consciousness, and then he seemed to have suddenly disappeared, a little dizzy. After returning to normal, he came to another world. He was already standing on the ridge and turned around and looked at a straight road leading to the foot of the mountain. He could still see Dongfang Jing sitting at the foot of the mountain waiting.
He could see Dongfang Jing, but Dongfang Jing could not see him.
Lu Juzi turned around and looked forward, and found that there was a beautiful mountain in front of the ridge, with endless undulating scenery. He walked over, habitually stretched his soul to sense the world, and suddenly discovered a person!
Due to the undulating mountains and lush vegetation, ordinary people are of course invisible, and Lu Juzi noticed it in the divine mind. The inheritance of Guanshan Mountains is thin, and there is only Dongfang Jing, a disciple in modern times. Why are there other people here? Is it because a certain ancestor still lives in seclusion here?
It is not impossible to think about it carefully. Dongfang Jing and his master have never entered the Third Pass Mountain, but one of their ancestors may have lived in seclusion here many years ago without caring about the world. Since he has come, Lu Juzi wants to see it no matter what. He bypassed the low hill on the slope, and a small courtyard appeared among the trees in front of him.
The courtyard is built according to the mountain. A rock is still preserved in the front yard. Someone carved the natural stone into a table and chair. An old man with white hair and beard was standing in the courtyard. Looking through the gate, it was just his silhouette. Lu Juzi hurried forward and bowed, "Senior, are you the ancestor of a certain immortal in Zhucishan?"
The old man turned around and said, "I don't know who I am. If you have to ask, just regard me as these times."
The impact this sentence brought to Lu Juzi was too great, and he was stunned for a moment. Dongfang Jing, who was waiting at the foot of the mountain in the second pass, was also shocked at the moment. Just now, the treasure of the control world in his sleeve, the Guanshan Whip, suddenly disappeared!
Dongfang Jing has been carrying this short whip that is four feet long for ten years. It is usually hidden in her sleeve and wrapped around her right arm. It is as familiar as a part of her body. As long as she shakes her hand, she can hold the handle of the whip and swing it out. She can point where she can twitch her eyes with her closed eyes, but now she is inexplicably missing.
Has this been stolen by someone? But he is the only one here! Dongfang Jing tried to calm his mind and tried to sense it, just like feeling a part of his body, as if he was breathing a sigh of relief, his expression was full of doubt.
He could also vaguely sense the existence of Guanshan Whip. This thing neither disappeared nor was stolen. It was just that some kind of change occurred in the secret realm of heaven and earth, which led to the change of the treasure of the control world. But this change is only temporary. After returning to normal, Guanshan Whip will reappear in his sleeve, as if it has never disappeared.
Don’t ask Dongfang Jing how he knew this. In fact, he didn’t know the reason. It was just an indescribable sense, as if this world told him. Dongfang Jing speculated that this might be related to Lu Juzi entering the Third Pass Mountain. He had to wait until Lu Juzi came out before asking carefully. I wonder what he encountered in the Third Pass Mountain.
Although Dongfang Jing is known as the Lord of the Mountains of the World, this secret realm of heaven and earth is still full of unknowns to him. In fact, in the Fangwei Alliance, the so-called Lords of the Fangwei World have never been the real masters of the Fangwei World. They are more like boarders or outsiders, just because they have obtained the inheritance of the Fangwei World.
