The Heavens: From Shooting the Eagle

"It turned out to be here..."

Watching the woodcutter go down the mountain, Hao Jian pondered for a while, and finally found the information about this mountain range from the depths of his memory.

"Since you're here, let's go up the mountain to pay respects to the relics of our predecessors."

So Hao Jian walked up the mountain slowly.

Not long after, he came to a small Taoist temple, which was very dilapidated. The weeds were as tall as a person and grew lushly. It was obvious that it had been abandoned for several years.

There is an ancient pine in front of the view, the trunk is thick and knotted, the trunk is hollow, but most of the leaves are yellow, obviously dying.

There is a vegetable field next to it, which has long been occupied by weeds.

There is also a bunch of grapes, the vines are dry, and there are only two or three bunches of blue grapes.

There are no magnificent Taoist palaces, no medicine fields all over the mountains, and no Taoist traditions left behind...

But Hao Jian knew that the old Taoist priests in this Taoist temple had a ridiculously high level of cultivation!
This is the real back to basics, no one knows what is sacred in the mountains.

Walking into the Taoist temple is very common, a futon, a few tattered Taoist robes, a dust whisk, and nothing else.

Only these things have been tattered over the past few years.

Ordinary Taoist temples, old Taoist priests who are willing to be ordinary, have no name in life and no name after death, even more nameless than the namelessness in the world of "Fengyun".

Hao Jian stood in the empty Taoist temple and closed his eyes.

He could feel that there was no aura left in this Taoist temple, it was simply an ordinary Taoist temple that could no longer be normal.

However, here is the residence of a suspected great sage or even quasi-emperor.

"The unicorn hidden in the field is a true hermit!"

It was rare for Hao Jian not to feel any blasphemy.

When I came to the backyard of the Taoist temple, there was a small tomb without a tombstone or inscription. If it weren't for the lush vegetation on it, it would not even be easy to tell that it was a tomb.

Standing in front of the grave, Hao Jian said with emotion: "It's really rare!"

Different from the classical fairy tale worlds such as "Journey to the West" and "Fengshen", the high-martial fantasy worlds such as the Zhetian Realm have one characteristic, and that is the worship of power!
Very pure worship of power!

There is no way to know the law!
Except for a very few existences, the rest regard human life as worthless, and do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. The stronger the power, the more obvious these characteristics are.

This is true for Emperor Zun, the Immortal Emperor, and even the Supreme Beings lingering in the restricted area!
And the old Taoist priest in front of me who has been transformed into loess, although he has not become enlightened, may even be inferior to Gai Jiuyou, and even more unreasonable than the Supreme, Immortal Emperor, etc.

But Hao Jian saw the existence of "Tao" from this senior!

It is not Taoism or Taoism, but "morality"!
The real Dao is to weave Tao and virtue above, and to teach law and reason below.

"Compared with me, you are more like the successor of Daode Tianzun..." Hao Jian half respected and half sighed.

There are no bones in the loess, only tattered Taoist robes, hairpins, shoes and socks...

It looks like a tomb of clothing, but in fact it is an old Taoist who transformed himself into the Tao before his death.

It's not self-destruction of the body, but adhering to the idea of ​​"coming from heaven and earth, returning to heaven and earth", so that every inch of flesh and blood and every particle of oneself can return to the nature of heaven and earth.

Fallen flowers are not heartless things, into Chunni more quadrangle!
……

In the middle of the night, Hao Jian sat cross-legged in the dilapidated Taoist temple full of weeds.

The moon and stars are sparse, black magpies fly south, and the sound of insects is endless, but it is more pure.

"Everything here is deeply rooted in the gist of 'quietness and inaction'!" Hao Jian raised a kind of enlightenment.

Once, when he was at Clumsy Peak of Taixuanmen, he felt the purity and nature of Li Ruoyu and Clumsy Peak.

But even so, whether it is Clumsy Peak or Li Ruoyu, they are still at the "famous" stage. Compared with this short mountain without a name, the Taoist temple, and the old Taoist priest who came and went quietly, they are obviously worse. Makes sense.

In the midst of silence, there was a sudden whisper.

"Occasionally I come under a pine tree and sleep on a stone.

There is no calendar day in the mountains, and the year is unknown when the cold is gone. "

Hao Jian slowly opened his eyes, and through the open door, a figure suddenly appeared from the half-withered old pine tree.

The bright moon in the void was covered by dark clouds, making the world even darker, and it suddenly had a horrible taste.

Dressed in an ancient Taoist robe, he is thin and short, without the slightest bit of immortal air.

That robe is exactly the same as the one in the loess tomb, even the wooden hairpin is the same.

With a thought, Hao Jian had already appeared in front of the figure of the old Taoist priest, quietly looking at the figure of the old Taoist priest.

Ordinary, ordinary...

"Having learned Danqing for nearly ten thousand years, the world has changed several times.

Although Sangtian has become Danqing, whoever is in harmony with Danqing will be immortal. "

The old Taoist chanted softly, walking lightly, as if he couldn't see Hao Jian's existence, and blended into the surrounding night.

When the breeze came, the dark clouds cleared, and the fragrance of the grass and trees came, the figure of the old Taoist disappeared suddenly.

Hao Jian was not panicked either, he knew that this was just a picture of the old Taoist priest, and now it is only reappearing under certain conditions...

A few days later, it was another stormy night.

Hao Jian saw the picture of the old Taoist again!

Boundless heavy rain poured down, accompanied by endless thunder and lightning, and the old Taoist sat calmly in the rain, opened his mouth to inhale, and all the thunder fell into his mouth.

Whether it's the great catastrophe of the four phenomena of earth, water, fire, and wind, or the human-shaped lightning intertwined with the ancient sky, no matter what your origin is, I will swallow it in one gulp!
"The sea becomes dust for tens of thousands of autumns, and Taoism turns yellow hair into eternal sorrow.

A dream is thousands of years, where to travel on the rugged road. "

The old Taoist priest sits cross-legged on the bluestone, blending into the night rain of the sky and the earth. There is no abnormal phenomenon, but he has the charm of tranquility and inaction.

Looking at the old Taoist priest, Hao Jian felt so moved that he also opened his mouth and chanted:
"The sword and sword don't count the years, right and wrong right and wrong.

One person has attained the Tao and ten million bones, half his life is humble and famous for hundreds of generations.

The feathered green gold is especially the sword, and the bamboo stick and straw shoes are also leisurely.

Someone asked me about Penglai Road, the clouds are in the green mountains and the moon is in the sky. "

During the chanting, Hao Jian suddenly seemed to enter an unspeakable state, as if the moon was covered by light clouds, and the snow fluttered like the flowing wind.

The surrounding world became extremely dark without a sound.

The old Taoist stood up suddenly and walked towards this side.

The moment their eyes met, the two seemed to travel through time and meet.

The old Taoist stopped in his tracks, with a bit of joy on his face, just looking at Hao Jian, without saying a word...

Hao Jian said slowly, "Occasionally passing through the treasured land disturbed the Taoist priest's peace."

"Fellow Daoist, why should you be so polite! The old Daoist has already passed away, so why should you care?"

"Dare to ask the long name?"

"People have disappeared, there is no Taoism, and there is nothing left behind. I came from heaven and earth, and I returned to heaven and earth. What is the use of a name? This is a photo taken in the past. Unexpectedly, Taoist friends have such attainments in the way of time. I can talk a little bit about it." , is already a poor fortune.”

Hao Jian nodded, "I admire the high level of Taoist priests."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"There is nothing in the world that does not go unnoticed, and life is never delayed for gain or loss.

It is suitable for drinking in the living room at home, and it has been 8000 years since looking back. "

The old Taoist sang and cried, his expression unavoidably felt a little sad, "After all, the poor Taoist has not let go of it completely. Today, I am lucky to have a friendship with a Taoist friend. Dare I ask you, are there any immortals in the world?"

Hao Jian pondered for a moment, then slowly replied: "The fairyland here is broken, and the fairyland does not exist! However, in the world of mortals, you can also be a fairy!"

The old Taoist understood, and sighed, "It's a pity that the old Taoist doesn't have such a blessing.

It is:

When you come, you go without a trace, and you go with the current events.

Why do you need to ask more about Fusheng, only this Fusheng is in a dream..."

After all, the old Taoist walked around the Taoist temple calmly for three weeks, staring at the west for a while.

Immediately afterwards, he walked to the backyard of the Taoist temple, calmly and naturally walked into the pit, and buried himself...

In a trance, the world returns to clarity.

Hao Jian sighed, "It's really rare and honest!"

Because he couldn't be as chic and detached as the old Taoist priest, Hao Jian admired the old Taoist even more.

Just now, he took advantage of the time when the photo of the old Taoist emerged, and used the method of going back in time to communicate with the old Taoist for a while separated by time and space, and he also had a deeper understanding of his own Tao.

In return for his answer, the old Taoist priest also pointed out the clues of "Nine Characters Secret".

After more than half a year of meditation in the old Taoist's land of transforming Taoism, Hao Jian left this place and embarked on the road of searching for the "Secret of Soldiers" in "Nine Character Secrets".

"Secrets of Soldiers" is in Qinmen, Qinling, Zhongzhou!

Hao Jian knew this very well, so he was not in a hurry.

And in the past six months, he has integrated and sublimated what he has gained from traveling in the past few years!
At this time, his realm has reached nine-star perfection, and according to the Zhetian system, he is probably equivalent to the quasi-emperor.

Hao Jian doesn't know exactly how many days the Zhun Emperor is, so he has to fight to know...

"System, could it be that beyond the nine-star level, it is equivalent to the Great Emperor of the Shrouding Heaven Realm?" Hao Jian secretly speculated in his heart.

The system did not answer.

……

Zhongzhou, Qinling.

This is a vast area with a radius of no less than a million miles, which can be called vast and boundless, but for the entire Central Province, it is still only a corner of the west.

This is a mysterious ancient land, which is difficult for the outside world to understand. There have been many legends since ancient times.

Legend has it that in the past, there was an ancient sage who was invincible in the world, and was hard to meet in the five regions. In the end, he came to the ancient Qinling Mountains, but was beaten to the ground by an old shepherd...

Well, Hao Jian guessed that this old shepherd man might be named Su.

In the ancient Qinling Mountains, there are many ancient mausoleums underground. Someone once dug out twelve mausoleums of ancient emperors in half a year!
There is a high probability that Duan De's previous life did it!
Otherwise, it is the last world...

And the most amazing thing is the legend of Huaxian Pond in Qinling Mountains!

According to legend, 3 years ago, a green lotus became spiritually intelligent, transformed into a form, and climbed to the peak step by step.

As soon as he thought of this, Hao Jian remembered the piece of green copper from the Chengxian Cauldron, but it was not on his body...

A few years ago, I casually threw it to Ye Fan...

Soon, Hao Jian came to several not-so-high peaks, and he could see some buildings on the mountain, which was Qinmen!

At first glance, this is a very small sect, with not many disciples, and the mountain peak is not too big, it doesn't look like a big sect at all...

But if you really think that the Qin Clan is ordinary, then you are wrong!

In the land of Qinmen, not only the "Nine Characters Secret" is hidden, but there is even a magic technique left by the Nanling Heavenly Emperor (Ruthless Emperor) - "Shendu Jue"!
How should I put it, the effect is a bit similar to "other gods", it is not a way to control the mind of the gods, but to directly start from the source of the human being, so that you are willing to worship, and you will not even have the idea of ​​​​rebellion.

It is said that the more talented a person is, the greater the influence he will receive, and he can save all the kings in the world!
To put it bluntly, Qinmen is simply a large-scale pyramid scheme hidden in the ancient Qinling Mountains!

Just in time for the day when the east side of Qinmen opened a mountain to accept apprentices, Hao Jian hid his cultivation and went up the mountain with the people who came to apprentice.

There is also a sick old man among them!

When Hao Jian looked at the sick old man, the sick old man also looked at him.

The moment their eyes met, the two nodded tacitly.

Alas, if the Headmaster of the Qin Clan knew that two quasi-emperors had sneaked into his sect, he wouldn't know how he would feel...

After only two days in the mix, the Mountain Master of Dongmai announced a message: Three months later, No.1 will be able to enter the main peak in the four-meridian martial arts competition!
Within two days, another news was announced: If you can make a great contribution to Qinmen, you can also enter the main peak!

"Brother, are you going to the main peak?" Hao Jian came to the side of the sick old man and said leisurely.

The sick old man glanced at Hao Jian with a half-smile, "If you want to go up, go up there, why do you ask the old man? Others are afraid of "Shendu Shenjue", but you are not!"

Hao Jian said with a smile: "I want to be more steady...Young people, you have to learn more from the old seniors, so as to avoid detours! After all, as the saying goes, don't listen to the old man..."

The sick old man said: "You are modest, are you afraid of losing money?"

Hao Jian shook his head, then suddenly changed the topic, "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will be as happy as a fairy!"

The sick old man's face turned dark in an instant, "Then why are you asking this old man? You have a pretty face, but you are a wicked person!"

Hao Jian laughed and said, "It's just a joke... In other words, you and I know my strengths, and I know your depth..."

The sick old man coughed uncontrollably, "Ahem...ahem...you shut up! If you can speak, just speak well, if you can't speak, keep your mouth shut! You think the old man is too old to understand the words, right? "

Hao Jian laughed loudly, "Okay, serious! Senior knows that my goal is "Nine Characters Secret", and I am also curious about the purpose of senior... Could it be that you are always talking about youth madness?"

The sick old man glared at Hao Jian, then sighed again, "It's okay to tell you, I'm looking for Huaxianchi!"

Hao Jian was taken aback, "I haven't heard that there is Huaxian Pond in Qinmen?"

The sick old man said: "In the ancient land of the Qinling Mountains, there are hundreds of lakes named Huaxianchi, and the old man is just trying his luck... Sigh, I can't compare to you. The energy and blood are strong. Seeing the decline of the energy and blood, the old man has to try his luck, see. Let's see if we can find the chance to find the Immortal Pond, and linger on for a while..."

"Ding! A random task is triggered: look for the Immortal Pond, and meet the Qing Emperor. Task reward: The third sword of "The Overlord's Six Slashes": enter the Nine Netherworld, and the demon bestows the head."

Hao Jian's heart moved, and he immediately smiled and said, "Jiang Zi...Don't worry, senior, when I get the "Nine Characters Secret", I will help you find Huaxianchi together!"
