Never sleep in the cave, blessed land forever

"Finally arrived!"

Walking onto the mountain road at the foot of Luofu Mountain, Chen Ziping, who was not very happy, is now very happy.

"Yes, I've been walking for more than half a month. I didn't expect Luofu to be quite far from our Raozhou!"

"Ha~ If we can learn the magic of flying with swords in the future, we won't have to work so hard!"

"Uh?! Is there really the sword flying technique?"

Xingyan was very surprised.

"Yes, there are many seniors who have learned this technique in my Shangqing Palace! However, among the younger generations, there are only a few who know the sword-controlling flying technique. I heard from the elders in the sect that the sword-controlling flying technique cannot be practiced without a certain level of Taoism."

"We, mortals, can really fly in that sky?! It's really incredible... However, when I saw Ling Chengxian Chang Chang turn into a rainbow into a bridge on Mati Mountain that day, I knew that the magic of Shangqing Palace was extraordinary. I don't know if I have the opportunity to practice these profound Taoism in the future!"

"Haha, since Brother Zhang has this heart, he will have the day of success; let everything go with the flow."

The two of them walked and chatted on the tree-lined avenue.

Shortly after entering Luofu Mountain Road, Xingyan felt that walking on this tree-lined stone road, he felt a clear air coming towards him, and the pores on his body immediately opened, and his whole body was particularly comfortable and transparent. The boy couldn't help but praise:

"Huh~ The foot of Luofu Mountain is worthy of being the immortal cave heaven, it is indeed unusual - as soon as I came in, I felt cool all over and had a very refreshing spirit!"

"It's cooler. However, it seems that the inside of the mountain is always cooler than outside the mountain."

“…This is true.”

——Before entering Luofu Mountain, although it was only the morning of late spring, the weather was already quite hot. Now the mountain road where the two were walking, the sun was covered with thick shade and breeze; there were often spring water seeping on the stone wall next to the road, which made people feel much cooler. These are all natural and do not seem to have much to do with the Xianshan Cave.

Seeing Xingyan a little embarrassed, Chen Ziping smiled slightly and said:

"However, the Luofu Mountain where our church is located is one of the ten caves, and it has its own unique features. For example, among the Luofu peaks, many of them are covered with snow all year round; but the Feiyunding, the main peak of Luofu, where Shangqing Hall is located, is the highest peak at the foot of Luofu Mountain, but it is like spring all year round. Even at the highest point of Feiyunding, there are strange flowers and green grass all year round."

“…It’s so magical!”

Xingyan has read some poetry and books, and has been hanging around in the market for a long time, so he is very knowledgeable; but now he is amazed by the style of the fairy mountain described by Chen Ziping.

"We are just starting to climb upwards and can't see much difference; but if we go a long way, we will gradually see the wonderful place of my Luofu Cave Heaven."

Sure enough, Xingyan initially felt that the scenery in the mountains was still normal, and it seemed not much different from the suburban mountains I saw along the way. But as he walked, he gradually realized the uniqueness of Luofu Mountain.

Gradually, Xingyan saw that there were many more flowers, plants and trees that even the mountain man had never seen before. In the bushes in the forest, he often caught a glimpse of some small beasts with strange hair-shaped bodies, flashing in the forest.

Now there are more and more birds on the mountain road. Many birds with bright feathers are jumping and dancing among the trees beside the mountain road, with the melodious and round sounds, which are very pleasant.

These birds did not seem to be timid. For example, Xingyan saw a few birds with golden feathers on their heads, dragging their long fiery red tails, like the legendary phoenix. They were chirping with "六" and even followed Xingyan and the others for a long time, flying and hovering over their heads.

"Ha~There are so many birds in Luofu Mountain!"

The bird's shadows are flying, and they are full of interest.

"Yes! There have always been many rare birds and beasts in Luofu Mountain, but..."

“Wait?”

"I just feel that today's birds seem to be much more than before. In the past, it seems that the tree-lined avenue is much quieter."

"Ha~ It seems that I, Zhang Xingyan, are still quite destined to be with the birds in this world!"

The two of them were talking and joking all the way, but they didn't realize the pain of climbing.

Cheng Xingyan was walking in a hurry, but suddenly heard Chen Ziping say in front of him:

"Brother Zhang, please look forward."

When Xingyan heard this, he looked up and saw that at the end of the gradually sparse shady tree, there was a huge rock standing on the mountain road in front, like a squatting tiger, blocking the way up the mountain.

And this mountain rock was cutting four huge seal characters on their rock surface:

"The Seventh Cave Heaven"

These beautiful and elegant characters are looking down at the young man who has just arrived in Luofu with the glory of the rising sun behind him.

However, although he looked up, the young man could not feel any oppression at all. For the first time, he witnessed such a powerful natural stone tablet, Xingyan felt an indescribable passion rippling in his heart. The many adjectives that surged out of his heart finally blurted out, but only turned into two simple words:

"How might it be!"

Although the two of them had clearly seen the stone wall, they still took a lot of time when they got closer.

When Xingyan approached the stone wall, he found that the stone wall was actually a huge rock next to the mountain road. But when the mountain road arrived at the mountain stone, he walked around under the stone; next to the road was a deep mountain stream. It was precisely because of this terrain that this mountain wall was revealed, and it was so abrupt and majestic in front of the climbers. Xingyan secretly praised the person who chose this stone wall back then, who was really ingenious.

Bypassing the stone wall, Xingyan found that the mountain road under his feet had become a little steep; it was already a little hard to climb. After walking for another journey, Xingyan was a little panting. When he looked around, he saw a corner of the eaves faintly in the dense forest not far away next to the road.

——When I walked into Luofu Mountain so much, Xingyan saw the building for the first time. He quickly grabbed Chen Ziping and asked where it was and whether he had already walked to Shangqing Palace. But Chen Ziping replied:

"That is a half-mountain pavilion for people to rest; now it is less than halfway away from the Shangqing Palace on the Feiyunding Top, and has not yet reached the fork of the Feiyunding Top."

“…”

"However, now I'm a little tired after walking so much--we'll take a break in this Mid-mountain pavilion, right?"

So, Xingyan and Chen Ziping and the others turned into the small pavilion in the forest next to the road, and sat on the edge of the pavilion to rest.

Under the breeze in the forest, Xing Yan felt exhausted after a while. Looking around, he saw that the forest was covered with strange flowers and plants, and the scenery was quite quiet. He also saw rays of sunlight coming from not far from the forest, as if there was a different world in the light. At that moment, Xing Yan, who was sitting leisurely, had the intention of exploring. Looking back at Chen Ziping who was closing his eyes there, he saw that there was still some fatigue on his face. Xing Yan couldn't bear to pull him along, so he just said:

"Brother Chen, you rest here first, but I'll go around and come to find you later."

"Well! I've set out early anyway, so Brother Zhang can visit it at will."

So Xingyan walked casually in the forest, and looked at the flowers and trees in the forest, and walked towards the light. When he reached the place where the light was leaking, he found that it had reached the edge of the woods. Walking out from the gap in the forest, Xingyan suddenly realized that the world in front of him seemed to spread out in front of him.

This is exactly the side of the Luofu master's foot. Looking from here, the scenery of clouds and undulating mountains in the distance is unobstructed. There is also a mountain road next to this forest, which extends around the mountain, and seems to be able to reach the upper and lower levels.

However, this stone path does not seem to be often moved. Although it is quite wide, the stone steps are uneven and weeds are overgrown. On the outside of the stone path are mostly steep hillsides, and a mountain stream that seems to flow with streams. Looking down from this high place, I feel that the bottom of the cliff is impossible to see at a glance.

Although this mountain road seems quite dangerous, Xingyan, a young man from the Mati Mountains, only regarded it as flat ground. At that moment, Xingyan followed the stone road and walked upwards for another journey, feeling that the magnificent mountain scenery in front of him would change step by step.

While he was stopping to see the mountains in the distance, he suddenly heard someone singing at the foot of the mountain behind him:

"Come on the wind and rain, go and walk on the mist and clouds. It's the green peaks of thousands of peaks, and it's my way back to the mountain..."

Listening to this sound, it seemed that the person who was singing was old and there was a little desolate atmosphere during the singing. Xingyan quickly turned around and saw an elderly Taoist man on the mountain road behind him, wearing blue and black shoes, walking towards him.

"Well, this Luofu Mountain has been climbing almost halfway, and you should have encountered a few Taoist Shangqing."

Just as he was thinking, the old Taoist in black clothes had already approached. Xingyan quickly avoided the side and bowed to the Taoist priest who obviously noticed him.

The Taoist also bowed politely and continued to walk forward.

After the Taoist walked by, Xingyan continued to look at his mountain view, and then prepared to go back for a while and meet with Chen Ziping.

But after a while, the boy thought in his heart:

"The lyrics that the Taoist chanted just now are very clear and quite singular, with a bit of smoke and clouds - Oh! This is clearly a senior with high morality, but I am so clumsy!"

"What a pity! I never asked for advice when I met here..."

Xingyan is now extremely regretful.

"Well? This man didn't walk very fast. I should have time to go and go now."

However, when Xingyan's feet were flying, he had been rushing for a long time, he saw the clouds and mountains in front of him, and the vast sky was vast, and there was no trace of people on the winding mountain road!
