Mount Huashan, known as "Xiyue" in ancient times and "Taihua Mountain" in elegance, is one of the Five Mountains. It is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the south and overlooks the Huangwei Mountains in the north. It has been said to be "the most dangerous mountain in the world" since ancient times.

"White Tiger Tongyi" records: "The west is Huashan, Shaoyin works, and everything flourishes, so it is called Huashan." The "Book of Books: Yu Gong Chapter" records that Huashan is "the place where the Yellow Emperor met with the immortals."

Huashan Mountain in the West Mountains has been a famous Taoist mountain since ancient times. I don’t know how many Taoist hermits have lived in seclusion here. Northeast of Maonv Peak in Huashan Mountain, there is a valley called "Zhangchao Valley", which is the hermitage of Zhang Kai, a strange man of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

It was rumored that Zhang Chao had Taoist magic and could spread fog for five miles and not dissipate even for a full moon. People called him a strange man, so they called the valley where Zhang Chao lived in seclusion in Huashan Mountain "Zhang Chao Valley".

In today's Zhangchao Valley, there is naturally no trace of Zhang Gongchao, only Chen Tuan, the ancestor of Xiyi, who has lived in seclusion here for a long time.

In Zhangchao Valley, under a pine tree, two Taoists were sitting opposite each other, with a chess game on the stone pier in front of them.

The Taoist sitting at the east end has black beard and hair, and a face no more than thirty years old. He has a sword slung across his back and three long beards hanging down on his chest.

The Taoist sitting at the west end has all white beard and hair, but his face looks like that of a young man in his thirties. He really has the look of a child with gray hair. The Taoist's robe is even more patched, and he looks extremely plain.

On the chessboard, the two colors of black and white are mixed and mixed. If someone who knows chess looks at it, he will only think that it is two bad chess pieces pecking each other. But if someone who understands the mystery of the changes of yin and yang looks at it, he will see it.

I found that the two colors of black and white on the chessboard seem to be interpreting the wonderful changes of yin and yang in the world.

The two men moved very slowly, with only one piece falling every few hours. As the black and white pieces fell, the 'chess game' on the chessboard became more and more mysterious.

After the white-haired Taoist dropped a stone, he suddenly put down the black stone in his hand, and his expression seemed a little tired: "Brother Dongbin, my Taoist power is not good, and the follow-up of this round of 'Yin and Yang Change' cannot be deduced anymore!

"

"You don't have to be sorry, Taoist Tunan." The black-haired Taoist, who was called 'Dongbin' by the white-haired Taoist, also put down the white pieces in his hand, "This game of 'yin and yang' is really mysterious, even I don't

I can only make two or three more bets at most, and there will be nothing I can do in the future.”

Chen Tuan rubbed the center of his brows, and after soothing his tired spirit from deducing the chess game, he couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know where fellow Taoist Xiaoyao got this chess game. Even with our current Tao power, we can't help but sigh.

Can you only take more than sixty steps?"

Lu Dongbin laughed when he heard this: "Do you think that only this game of 'Yin and Yang Change' is so mysterious? I heard fellow Taoist Taoist Xiaoyao say that there are games like 'Void Tribulation' and 'Swallowing Stars' that are comparable to this game.

'Well. Even this 'yin and yang change' is still a little bit behind. Yin and yang need to be transformed into chaos. Only by deducing 'chaos change' from 'yin and yang change' can we truly call it the 'Three Secrets of Heaven'!"

At this point, when Chen Tuan was about to speak, Lu Dongbin, who was sitting opposite, suddenly raised his head and looked out of the valley: "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here. What kind of wind brings Taoist Taoist Xiaoyao here?"

As Lu Dongbin finished speaking, the figures of Chu Yunshen and Li Canghai emerged from the forest at the entrance of the valley.

"Of course it was those careless disciples at home who caused the trouble." Chu Yun replied with a deep smile, "No, I got tired of staying at home with my disciples and their children, so I quietly thought about it and came to Tunan.

Fellow Taoist, take a look around here."

As the master of Zhang Chaogu, Chen Tuan immediately stood up and greeted Chu Yunshen when he saw him coming: "Welcome!"

After Chu Yunshen and Chen Tuan greeted each other, they said, "You and I haven't seen each other for more than twenty years, right?"

"Indeed!" Chen Tuan nodded, "Since we parted ways twenty years ago, I have moved to this super valley."

After Chu Yunshen and Chen Tuan came to sit down at the chess table, he looked at Lu Dongbin and said, "I haven't seen my Taoist friend for a long time. Where have you been these years?"

Regarding this issue, Lu Dongbin did not hide anything: "Sixty years ago, I suddenly felt very quiet and thought about the countries in the Western Regions you mentioned, so I traveled to the West..."

Through Lu Dongbin's narration, Chu Yun deeply understood his journey.

It turns out that Lu Dongbin crossed the Gobi Desert, traveled westward from the Han Silk Road, crossed the Caucasus Mountains, and headed to the European continent now known as ‘Europe’.

I stayed in Europe for more than 20 years and saw a lot of its customs and customs. Then I crossed the Mediterranean from Spain to Africa. Then I traveled all the way south until I reached the southernmost tip of Africa, and finally crossed the sea and landed in Antarctica.

"Brother Dao, you don't know that the southernmost continent is covered in ice and snow. It has half a year of night and half a year of day. It is nothing like the Central Plains..."

After talking about the experience of 'Antarctica', Lu Dongbin continued to describe that relying on his superb martial arts skills, Lu Dongbin carried the extreme cold of Antarctica all the way through the Antarctic continent, then landed from South America, and then went all the way north, passing through two

The American continent finally circled back to the Central Plains from the Bering Strait.

Next to Chu Yunshen, Li Canghai's eyes widened as he listened to Lu Dongbin's description: "So there is such a vast world outside the Central Plains?"

Whether it was the Europeans with tall noses, deep eyes, colorful hair and eyes mentioned by Lu Dongbin, or the dark-skinned Kunlun slaves from Africa, they all deeply attracted Li Canghai's curiosity.

On the other hand, Chu Yunshen, who was standing by, was not surprised at all by the experience Lu Dongbin described. On the contrary, he felt a little admiration for Lu Dongbin's perseverance in traveling around the world.

You know, Europe is in the Dark Middle Ages, and the religion there is very unfriendly to pagans. In addition, the people there do not care about hygiene. Fortunately, Lu Dongbin could endure the dirt there and stayed there for more than 20 years.

Year.

As for Africa, Antarctica and the two American continents, because they are sparsely populated and mostly barren lands, you may not be able to see anyone even if you walk for ten days and a half.

Thanks to Lu Dongbin's high level of cultivation, he was able to resolve all kinds of dangers during the journey. An ordinary martial artist might not even be able to withstand the severe cold in Antarctica, let alone travel around the world.

After talking about his own experience, Lu Dongbin asked again: "The experience these years has been really wonderful, what about you?"

"Me?" Chu Yun took a deep look at Li Canghai beside him, "I took in three careless disciples and have been training them all these years. Unfortunately, they are so stupid and stubborn that it is difficult to achieve greatness. Fortunately, it is not without uncut jade.

!”

As he said that, he glanced at Li Canghai next to him again.

Seeing Chu Yunshen's gaze, Chen Tuan's eyes fell on Li Canghai who was standing aside, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "What a pretty girl!" Looking at her unique temperament, Chen Tuan turned to Chu Yunshen.

He asked: "Looking at her extraordinary temperament, could it be that she has already entered the threshold?"

Chu Yunshen, who was sitting at the stone table, nodded with a smile.

After receiving Chu Yunshen's affirmation, Chen Tuan immediately congratulated him and said: "Congratulations to Brother Dao for getting this great disciple!"

When Chu Yunshen heard this, he smiled, obviously very satisfied with Li Canghai, his disciple.

"Since we are Taoist Brother's apprentices, we as elders have to express our feelings!" Chen Tuan thought for a moment and waved towards the cave not far away. A cold light passed through the air and fell on his hand. .
