Chapter 184 Famous Mountains and Scenic Spots for Soul Searching
Last year, after the world international competition.
Fu Chen once asked Lu Bufan to investigate "strange people and strangers from ancient times to the present" and "places with obvious differences in geographical environment."
The original purpose was to look for some existences that might be ancient monks and see if we could find some clues about the ancient people's practice.
More importantly, find a place with strong spiritual energy as a place for others to practice.
After all, it was impossible for Fu Chen to set up spirit gathering arrays all over the country, that would be unrealistic.
Now, Fu Chen plans to personally search for this "cave heaven blessed land", which is exactly when he needs this information.
I immediately contacted Lu Bufan and asked him to take the time to send over the collected information.
At noon the next day, Chu Qingyue came to the door in person.
When Fu Chen came out from practicing the exercises, he saw her sitting with Su and Gu, acting a little reserved.
This situation was indeed a bit unexpected, Fu Chen asked helplessly.
"It's just some information. Can't you just send it directly to your mobile phone? I mobilized all the troops to send you here. Your captain has been a little distracted recently, right?"
Chu Qingyue smiled brightly, and the whole room suddenly lit up, and explained: "The instructor misunderstood the captain. Some of the information in the materials is state secrets, and there are security risks in sending them online."
"My fault, I overestimated the problem." Fu Chen apologized and stretched out his hand: "Give me the information. After reading it, you can take it back."
Chu Qingyue took out two pieces of information from Najie and handed them to Fu Chen, adding a special sentence.
"The captain asked me to follow and assist the instructor in completing the investigation. There is no need to rush back."
"Moreover, Yuchen, help her get some lunch." After Fu Chen finished explaining, he lowered his head and looked at the first piece of information in his hand seriously.
The first thing I saw was the famous Peng Zu.
Peng Zu was named Da Keng, and he was the ancient man with the longest lifespan according to legend.
According to legend, he lived for more than 800 years, dating back to Yao, Shun, Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. It is recorded in history that he lived for 880 years.
Later generations did not believe in his real existence and found many other explanations. Among them, the most accepted one is the "little sixty-year-old" method of marking the year.
That is obviously unreasonable. The ancients 5,000 years ago were already very astonishing in their research on the changes in the four seasons and the astrology.
Why should we use another method when calculating life span?
It is very simple and obvious to explain it as a practitioner. If he can live eight hundred years, his cultivation has obviously reached the Nascent Soul stage.
In Fu Chen's opinion, this was an ancient Nascent Soul monk with clear records.
What is even more curious is what causes a Nascent Soul monk to live for only eight hundred years.
The second one is Jiang Shang of Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya who is familiar even to children.
With a life span of 139 years, his realm should not exceed Xiantian, which is consistent with the legend that he was born without the qualifications to practice Taoism.
Liu Huizhao, a famous eminent monk in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Born in 526 AD and died in 816 AD, at the age of 290, the golden elixir monk lived less than three hundred years.
Chen Jun of the Tang Dynasty set a longevity record that has not yet been broken.
Written records from the Qing Dynasty: Chen Jun, courtesy name Keming, was born in Tangquan Village, Yongjia Mountain District, Fujian.
He was born in the Zhonghe Xinchou year of Xizong of the Tang Dynasty (881 AD) and died in the Jiazi year of Taiding in the Yuan Dynasty (1324 AD) at the age of 443. There is no doubt that he was in the Jindan period.
Later there are Zhang Sanfeng, Leng Qian, Tang Yunshan, and Li Qingyuan. The information on these people who are closer to this generation also has more detailed information.
For all these people, Fu Chen only classified what state each of them had reached based on their lifespan, and also paid attention to the environment in which they lived.
After reading all the information, Fu Chen came to a conclusion.
The highest recorded practice of the ancients is only at the Nascent Soul stage, and whether it is the foundation building, golden elixir, or Nascent Soul stage.
They all died before reaching the limit of their lifespan, which is very strange.
For example, the average life span of modern people is more than 80 years.
However, ordinary people inevitably face physical aging, disease, accidents and other situations.
It is also common for many people to not live as long as they should.
But monks are different, especially monks in the Jindan and Nascent Soul stages.
The body's functions are so powerful that ordinary diseases and injuries are simply impossible to occur.
However, they all did not live up to the limit of their lifespan, and they obviously had ulterior motives.
Another information is much more concise, listing some scenic spots from ancient times to the present, all of which are Mingchuan Mountain.
In addition, several places with obvious environmental changes from ancient to modern times are attached, such as Youze, Yunmengze, Zunyeze, etc.
After handing the information back to Chu Qingyue, Fu Chen pondered for a moment and made a decision.
"Yuchen Qingcheng, to verify the suspicion in my heart, I have to see it with my own eyes. Go out early tomorrow morning. You must take care of your home, especially don't let Lisa be discovered."
Su Yuchen knew that he must have his own considerations when doing things, so he smiled and nodded and replied: "Don't worry, husband, we will take good care of the family."
Gu Qingcheng was worried about his safety and asked nervously: "How long will it take to go out this time?"
"It depends on the specific situation." Fu Chen replied with a smile, stepped forward and hugged Qingcheng and whispered comfort.
Noticing that Chu Qingyue was hesitant to speak at the side, she smiled and said: "Since Lu Bufan asked you to follow, let's set off with me tomorrow."
Chu Qingyue was very excited to be able to go on a mission with the instructor, and said happily: "Thank you, instructor!"
Early the next morning, Fu Chen and Chu Qingyue set off for the first stop.
Located in Maoshan, Jiangsu Province, it is the birthplace of the Shangqing Sect of Taoism and is called the "Shangqing Zongtan" by Taoists.
Looking at the green mountains in front of him, Fu Chen stopped and looked at it. After a moment, he sighed and said: "No need to go up, just go to the next place."
After thinking for a while, he said: "Taking public transport is cumbersome and time-consuming, let's fly by ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qingyue immediately summoned the spirit sword and stepped on the flying sword to slowly rise into the air.
Seeing Fu Chen's body rising out of thin air, he hurriedly activated his true energy to follow closely.
Laoshan Mountain is the highest peak on the Yanhuang coastline and is known as "the most famous mountain on the sea".
The climate here is mild and humid, with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, a group of people have gathered who have been engaged in health preservation and self-cultivation for a long time.
By the late Warring States period, Mount Laoshan had become the "Fairy Mountain in the East China Sea" that was well-known in China.
But even so, Chu Qingyue, who was following behind Yu Jian, also noticed.
Fu Chen stood 10,000 meters above Mount Laoshan, looked down for a moment, and sighed softly again.
After raising his head to confirm his position, he walked away without saying a word.
This was 10,000 meters high in the sky. When Chu Qingyue lowered her head and looked down, it was no different from simply looking at satellite photos.
But Fu Chen seemed to have seen through everything, and without any time to sigh, she immediately followed him.
The third stop is Laojun Mountain, formerly known as Jingshi Mountain, located in Fu Chen’s hometown of Henan Province.
It was named because Li Er (Laozi), the Supreme Lord, retired to practice here. Therefore, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty renamed Jingshi Mountain Laojun Mountain.
Fu Chen still looked at the sky for a moment and then turned around and walked to Songshan Mountain again without saying a word the whole time.
Chu Qingyue did not dare to relax at all and followed him with all her strength on her sword.
Arriving at the top of Wudang Mountain, you can overlook the numerous peaks, jade-like rocks, lakes and mountains, and green trees.
Chu Qingyue knew that this place had been an important place for Taoism for a long time.
This time, Fu Chen looked down for a moment and smiled, praising: "The Wudang Sect is developing very well. With so many highly qualified disciples practicing hard, the future is promising."
"Besides the undulating mountains and the green land, there is nothing to see. Instructor, can you see what's going on inside the Wudang Sect?" Chu Qingyue couldn't help but ask.
"Let's go to the next location." Fu Chen turned around and replied, "When your cultivation level reaches the corresponding level, you can do it too."
Running around and around, the sun has set in the west, and the sky is filled with red clouds.
"Heaven and earth create the Yaotai realm", this time the two came to Sanqing Mountain in Gan Province.
It is named because the three mountains of Yujing, Yuxu and Yuhua are shaped like the three Taoist gods of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing sitting on the top of the mountain.
At this time, Chu Qingyue was already pale due to excessive consumption of her true energy, and it seemed that she might fall from the flying sword at any time.
Also, she flew the sword for thousands of miles without stopping, and she could persevere without saying a word.
His perseverance and endurance are extraordinary, and he is worthy of being a member of Ryuga.
With a thought in his mind, Fu Chen took Chu Qingyue into the Yuanling Realm mansion.
He reminded: "Practice immediately after the extreme state, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will also be a kind of training for the meridians and Dantian."
When Chu Qingyue woke up from practice, she felt that her true energy and spiritual power were at their peak, and she didn't know how long it had been.
I saw Fu Chen roasting a rabbit with the elixir fire, exuding the tangy aroma of meat.
When hungry, they ate rabbit meat, when thirsty, they drank from clear springs. They practiced individually and spent the whole night in silence.
Early the next morning, after eating the remaining half of yesterday's roast rabbit, Fu Chen once again led Chu Qingyue across the sky.
This stop we came to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan. It is named because the whole mountain has verdant trees, is evergreen all year round, and is surrounded by peaks that resemble the outline of a city.
Qingcheng Mountain became the birthplace of Taoism due to the founder of Taoism, "Zhang Tianshi", and was listed as the "Fifth Cave" by Taoism.
The environment is certainly quiet and fascinating.
The spiritual energy was much richer than that in the bustling city, but Fu Chenming did not show any joy.
Zhongnan Mountain is also known as Taiyi Mountain and Taibai Mountain.
Wang Mojie's famous poem "Taiyi is close to the capital of heaven, and the mountains are connected to the sea" to describe its mountains and breadth.
It starts from Kunlun and ends with Songyue Mountain. It has beautiful bells and green mountains, thousands of peaks and green mountains, and beautiful scenery.
It is known as the "Immortal Capital", "Crown of the Cave" and "The Best Blessed Place in the World".
Laozi, the founder of Taoism, once wrote the 5,000-word Tao Te Ching at the Tower Tower in Zhongnan Mountain, and also built a platform on a high hill in the south of the tower to teach scriptures.
Therefore, Louguantai is considered the earliest holy place of Taoism, and Zhongnan Mountain is one of the birthplaces of Taoism.
Chu Qingyue followed behind her. It was the first time that she overlooked the majestic and famous mountains below from such a perspective, and her mind was broadened.
But Fu Chen's face remained unchanged, as if the magnificent scenery in front of him didn't exist.
Kongtong Mountain, with a forest coverage rate of more than 90%, is also a famous Taoist holy land.
The dangerous cliffs in the mountains are towering, the ridges are lush, the forest is vast, and the smoke and mist are locked in it, like a misty fairyland.
According to legend, this is the place where the immortal Guangchengzi practiced Taoism. The founder of humanities, Xuanyuan Huangdi, once visited here to ask Guangchengzi.
Therefore, Kongtong Mountain is revered by Taoism as "the first Taoist mountain in the world".
No sighs were heard today, but Chu Qingyue knew that Fu Chen had been disappointed again and again.
Finally I couldn't help but ask: "Instructor, what are you looking for?"
Fu Chen didn't mean to hide anything and answered directly: "The place where spiritual energy gathers."
