Chapter 44 The Patriarch of Xianyuan Mountain

But Gao Lan was in a little embarrassed at this time.

Because although she has cultivated magic power, she does not have the magic of flying clouds and fog. She can only rise from the wind and only four or five feet away from the ground. Now there is a cliff under her feet, how could she really go on the clouds with this riding crane Taoist? The riding crane Taoist seemed to see Gao Lan’s thoughts, and couldn’t help laughing. She actually got off the crane and floated on the clouds and mist of the Broken Duan Cliff.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Gao Lan looked at the eager eyes of the mortal cultivators and companions behind her, thinking that she could not lose the face of the scattered immortal. She made a move and stepped onto the clouds and mists! As soon as she fell, she couldn't help but feel at ease, and at the same time she also showed a strange look to the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest also smiled mysteriously, and then said to several other Taoist priests: "You treat these monks, and I will take this person with destiny to see the ancestor first."

"Yes!" After hearing this, the other Taoists immediately turned back and flew over, leading hundreds of monks including Chonghui Taoist and others into the tower. Gao Lan used his magic power and followed the Taoist on the clouds and mist and drove the wind towards the opposite bank of Duanchen Cliff. At this time, she felt sorry for Chonghui Taoist and others, because Gao Lan was able to drive here, which has already shown a fact.

That is, under the clouds and mist of Duanchen Cliff, it is only four or five feet deep.

But the secret of heaven cannot be leaked, and Gao Lan also understood that if he had no magic power, he would definitely not dare to jump onto the cloud head.

"Do you think the mechanism of the ancestor is very mysterious?" The Taoist priest walked and suddenly spoke. Gao Lan said, "Yes, if you really only practice the cultivator but can walk through the Duanchen Cliff with your heart, then you will be the person who can truly be favored by the ancestor." After hearing this, the Taoist priest smiled and said, "There is not a lack of such a person. About six hundred years ago, a Vase passed through the Duanchen Cliff, which made the ancestor highly appreciate it."

"Is there such a person really?" Gao Lan couldn't help but feel lit up when she heard this. The Taoist priest said, "It's a pity that this person made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and violated the Heavenly Law. Now he is able to overcome the disaster and start to achieve the right result... Girl, you have this immortal fate, but you have to cultivate yourself. Don't be reckless!" Gao Lan couldn't help but jumped up in her heart because she seemed to know who she was going to look for.

"My God! Could it be that this ancestor who saw the head but didn't see the tail was actually..."

The Taoist priest took Gao Lan for about the afternoon, and after passing Duanchen Cliff, there was a journey of four or five thousand miles. The entire Duanchen Cliff was like a sea of ​​clouds made of colorful clouds. Gao Lan also knew that there was only one road under her. If the Taoist priest had not taken her, she might have fallen into the abyss by one's footsteps. At the end of Duanchen Cliff, there was a mountain. When Gao Lan saw this mountain, he suddenly felt an ancient and graceful feeling.

Gao Lan followed the Taoist priest to the mountainside, and immediately became down-to-earth and felt at ease.

From the hillside to the top of the mountain, there is a step made of bluestone. At the end of the steps is an old Taoist temple. Here, the Taoist temple cannot be seen, but the Taoist monk beside Gao Lan bowed and said, "Master, this year, there is a destined person who has passed through the Duanchen Cliff." After he finished speaking, an ethereal voice came from the door of the Taoist temple: "It's so lucky that someone can get here."

"Who are you named? Who are you? Why did you come to my Xianyuan Mountain?"

Gao Lan quickly knelt down and said to the Taoist temple: "The ancestor, his disciple's surname is Gao Lan, is from Us Tibetan Kingdom. He once worshipped Zen Master Wuchao as his master, respected his teacher's orders and protected the Tang monks from the Tang Dynasty from the East to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek sutras. Because he met a fellow Taoist from Wuzhuang Temple on the road and learned that he was preaching on the fairy mountain, he came to seek immortality and hoped that the ancestor would be successful!"

"Hahaha, you are honest." The old man's heartfelt laughter came from the Taoist temple, "You are also a skill to seek Taoism. Even if you have fate, I will not be stingy. Anyone who comes to my Xianyuan Mountain will give me immortal pills to help him become an immortal! I have the Wanshou Tian Pill, and a person can live to 12,960 years old with one pill. There is also the Dharma Source Pill, after eating, people can condense their magic power and ascend to become immortals! There is also the magical power of human pill, and after eating, people can carry the pills to return to blood and achieve magical powers."

"You are already a god. If you eat golden elixir again, your skills will definitely improve and your life span will increase again. Are you willing to want these three golden elixirs?"

"Ancestor..." Gao Lan was also excited when she heard the golden elixir that the ancestor wanted to give. Increased life span and magical powers, even gods were dreaming of. But after biting her lip, Gao Lan still said what she said in her heart: "The ancestor gave me a lot, but the disciples dare not refuse. But the disciples went into the mountains to seek the Tao, and the most wanted to learn was a magical art. The so-called "giving people to fish is worse than giving people fish."

"You girl, are you picky?" The ancestor sneered, causing the Taoist beside Gao Lan to tremble. "You don't even look down on me, wherever my three golden elixirs are placed, and you don't even look down on me? Well, since you want to learn a fairy art, you have to do three things according to my rules. Let's talk first, what kind of fairy art do you want to learn? After that, I will arrange a suitable errand for you."

Gao Lan was not greedy, and just said, "The disciple practices Buddhist techniques. Although he has a little magic power, he still can't even till the clouds. Please teach me a disciple a magic trick that can allow me to practice." After hearing this, the ancestor pondered for a moment, and then said, "The technique you practice is one of the original Buddhist teachings in heaven and earth, but the more advanced the Buddhist teachings, it is difficult to practice..."

The ancestor paused for a moment and suddenly said, "...I have it! If you do these three things first, I will definitely teach you a Tengyun magic that suits you!"

"Thank you, Master!" Gao Lan couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, "Master, what three things do you want your disciples to do?"

The ancestor said, "Remember it well. The first thing is that you go home to visit your parents and say that you are practicing outside to make them feel at ease. This is the first thing. The second thing is that there is a flower bear spirit outside the Xianyuan Mountain to cause harm. You can eliminate this monster! The third thing is that you must open an altar in my Xianyuan Mountain and preach your experience to those ordinary practitioners to understand. If you do these three things well, I will pass on your technique of tide clouds."

"This..." Gao Lan was immediately embarrassed when she heard this. The first thing she could do was to do, but the flower bear spirit was too powerful. Gao Lan had no choice but to remove it. The third thing was to start a preaching at the altar. Gao Lan did not have such a thick face. She was not a Buddhist ancestor, nor was she the Great Immortal of the Three Pure Land and Four Imperial Emperors. She climbed to Gao Altar to preach to the monks here, but she would not be able to continue to bombard her?

The more Gao Lan thought about it, the more he felt unsure.

The ancestor asked again, "What, can't you do it? Or do you think you can do it, but you don't want to do it?" The ancestor said, and the door of the Taoist temple suddenly opened. Then an old man wearing a simple Taoist robe, white hair and a face like a jade, appeared before the mountainside. Gao Lan was stunned when he saw this image. Because this image was as good as that of Zen Master Wuchao in terms of temperament.

This is the Dharma image of the Taoist ancestor!

The ancestor smiled slightly and replied and stroked his ears: "These three things are the threshold for your self-cultivation. Taoism says: It is easy to respect and filial piety, but it is difficult to love filial piety; it is not necessary to do anything to seek the way of heaven and ignore human ethics. Secondly, if you practice Buddhism, you must face difficulties. If you seek immortal arts and then subdue demons, why should you go through this disaster? Thirdly, Confucianism pursues the word "to become a teacher, not only you, but other monks are inferior to you, and they may also start a lecture here!"

"The three laws of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are one, and it is the great way of heaven and earth. If you do not follow it, there will be no hope of magic power..."

Gao Lan pouted and wanted to refute it, but she swallowed the words.

As the ancestor said, he slowly raised his hand and said, "I want to teach you the art of flying clouds. It is just to help you pass the threshold of seeking the Tao. It is far from being as simple as driving the clouds to invite you to travel. The great way of the world is to seek immortality. Three disasters and nine difficulties, the laws of Confucianism and Taoism are to avoid, and the laws of Buddhism are to save. The origin of your practice is to know what to save, otherwise the great disaster in heaven and earth will be the day of your burial."

"Avoid three disasters and nine difficulties, overcome three disasters and nine difficulties... Is there any difference?"

Gao Lan listened to the ancestor's words, and couldn't figure out the difference for a while. However, after finally coming to Xianyuan Mountain, she was absolutely unwilling to go back empty-handed. Could it be that she could not beat the Flower Bear Spirit and wouldn't ask for help? At worst, she could call Sun Wukong back... because the Tengyun magic she could learn was really impossible. Now the ancestor has a spell suitable for her, and she had to learn it no matter what.

"Disciple is willing to do these three things."

After hearing her answer, the ancestor smiled and said, "It's a young man with ambition. Quanshan, take her down first!" After the ancestor finished speaking, the magic figures that transformed disappeared. The Taoist Qihe quickly agreed, "Yes!" wiped the sweat on his head and made a gesture to Gao Lan. Gao Lan also ran down behind him. Along the way, the expression on the Taoist's face was not relaxed.

This is completely different from the way he just traveled on a crane.

"You little girl, you are actually bargaining with the ancestor. But the ancestor is quite tolerant of you and has talked with you so much!"

"Hehe, maybe it's because I'm pretty." Gao Lan seemed a little proud after hearing this. In her opinion, no matter where she is, appearance is the first factor.

The Taoist in Quanshan was speechless.

Gao Lan rested in a quiet Zen room at the foot of the mountain for a night. The next morning, Taoist Quanshan sent her back to the world from the back mountain. Gao Lan now has to follow the first thing the ancestors do and go home to visit her parents first. This Xianyuan Mountain is south of Xiniu Hezhou, and is about tens of thousands of miles away from Uszang Kingdom. However, as long as Gao Lan recognizes the direction and concentrates on his journey, he will not feel too far.

For several days, Gao Lan moved towards the northeast. She felt more and more excited.

Early that morning, Gao Lan rushed east again, but was blocked by a big river. This river was extremely wide and could not see the end at first sight. The water flowed rapidly and was vaguely familiar. Gao Lan came back to his senses and thought, and couldn't help but feel happy: "This is the Liusha River! I am traveling thousands of miles a day now, but I actually walked all the way from Xianyuan Mountain to the Liusha River? After crossing this river, it is the Nanzhan Continent."
