Shen Luo had only wanted to see the Village of Longevity before the Cataclysm, but he realized that it was completely different from what he had seen in his dream.
After this experience, Fu Donglai looked at Shen Luo even more strangely.
The two of them followed the path drawn on the map and walked for several hours before finally arriving at the foot of the majestic mountain.
However, what appeared before them was a vast expanse of green mountains and cliffs. They couldn't see the way into the mountain at all.
"Brother Shen, this map … is he really right?" Fu Donglai couldn't help but ask.
Shen Luo didn't directly answer Fu Donglai's question.
He looked at the familiar scenery in front of him. Based on the terrain in his memory, it didn't take him much effort to find a huge protruding rock in front of one of the cliffs.
"Brother Fu, look here," Shen Luo said as he pointed at a black circle on the map.
Fu Donglai looked at it for a moment and frowned. He looked at the huge rock for a moment and said, "This circle doesn't look like a rock."
Shen Luo smiled but didn't say anything. He led Fu Donglai to the side of the huge rock, and a hidden cave entrance was revealed.
"Oh, so this circle is the cave entrance …" Fu Donglai slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
They first went down into the cave entrance and then followed the path inside the cave up the slope. They walked for several hundred feet before coming out of a cave in the back of Fangcun Mountain.
After coming out of the cave, they saw a small mountain path paved with cobblestones that led into the depths of the mountain forest.
Shen Luo and Fu Donglai walked along the small mountain path for about two to three miles before a wide bluestone mountain path finally appeared in front of them.
At the beginning of the mountain path, there was a wooden archway that was about ten feet tall. On top of it, there was a horizontal board with the words "Fangcun Mountain" written on it. On the right side of the path below the archway, there was a bluestone about three feet tall.
The bluestone was engraved with four ancient seal characters: "Seeking Dao from the Heart."
Before the two of them even reached the wooden archway, they could already feel a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy coming from it.
When they got closer, they indeed felt a rather strong oppressive force coming from the void inside the square, with an obvious repulsive force.
Shen Luo stepped forward, raised his hand and pressed towards the void in the workshop.
Suddenly, a stream of light flashed in the void, and a dazzling five-colored light appeared. The palm could not penetrate it at all.
At the same time, streams of light extended out from the gate, instantly turning into an extremely huge light screen that covered the sky, encompassing the entire Fangcun Mountain within it.
Then, the colorful light curtain in the door flashed slightly, and a wave of spiritual power that was not very strong surged, forcing Shen Luo back a little.
Then, a slightly cold voice came out from within the workshop.
"Fangcun Mountain has closed its doors and will not be receiving any visitors for the time being. Fellow Daoists, please return on your own."
When Shen Luo heard this, they looked at each other.
"Junior Demons Fu Donglai, welcome to the mountain. I wish to join your sect, please make an exception and let me pass." Fu Donglai channeled his spiritual power and shouted loudly. His voice was like a tiger's roar, shaking the forest.
"Our sect has closed its doors and has also temporarily stopped accepting new disciples. Within a hundred years, we will not accept any disciples." The voice sounded again, still without a trace of emotion.
When Shen Luo heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then channeled his spiritual power and shouted.
"Junior Shen Luo, a human cultivator, wishes to climb the mountain to pay respects to the founder. Senior, please let me pass."
After saying this, Shen Luo automatically channeled the Yellow Court Scripture, not concealing his powerful aura of an Early-stage True Immortal.
"Who are you? Where did you inherit our Fangcun Mountain's cultivation method from?" The voice sounded again, with a hint of urgency in its tone.
"Senior, I am unable to tell you the inheritance of my cultivation method. I can only tell you when I see the founder." Shen Luo pretended to be secretive.
"How dare you! Do you know that without our permission? Secretly learning our sect's cultivation method is a serious crime? " As the voice sounded, a green figure came out of the five-colored light curtain and landed directly in front of Shen Luo and the other man.
The person who arrived wore a green Daoist robe. His cheekbones were slightly high, and his expression was solemn. His entire body emitted the powerful fluctuations of a mid-stage True Immortal cultivator, pressing towards Shen Luo.
Shen Luo continuously channeled the Yellow Court Scripture, and the aura on his body didn't drop in the slightest as he faced the person head-on.
When the green robed Daoist saw this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Where exactly did you learn the Yellow Court Scripture from? Quickly tell me the truth!"
Shen Luo frowned slightly, and he was dissatisfied with this overbearing aura.
"Naturally, I learned it from the founder. Could it be that you want to ask the founder for his punishment?" Shen Luo said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
What he said wasn't wrong. He had always been cultivating by himself, and no one taught him. Strictly speaking, he had indeed learned it from Patriarch Bodhi.
"Since you don't want to tell me, I have to find it myself." When the green robed Daoist heard this, he didn't waste any more time. He immediately stretched out his palm and slapped towards Shen Luo's head.
Shen Luo's heart tightened. When he was about to move, he suddenly saw a figure pass through the five-colored light of the gate.
"Senior Brother Jue Ming, please stop." The person who came was a Daoist boy who also wore a green Daoist robe.
When he heard this, Jue Ming immediately stopped and withdrew his palm.
"Junior Brother Chun Qiu, what do you mean by this?" Jue Ming asked, puzzled.
The little Daoist boy called Chun Qiu hurriedly bowed and said, "This is the Ancestor's order. He asked me to bring them up to have a look."
"Master wants to see them?" Jue Ming was a little surprised.
"Yes, yes." Chun Qiu nodded again.
"Well … Do you need Senior Brother to escort them?" Jue Ming hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Since Master didn't say so, there should be no need. Thank you, Senior Brother." Chun Qiu shook his head and said seriously.
When Jue Ming heard this, he didn't insist and said, "Then I'll leave them to you." “
After saying this, he turned around and walked a few steps into the light screen of the gate. His figure immediately disappeared.
"Please follow me." The little Daoist boy smiled warmly at the two of them.
After saying this, he made a seal with one hand and took out a piece of talisman paper and stuck it on the light screen of the gate.
The light screen flashed with multicolored light and a circular hole began to expand until it was as tall as a person.
The little Daoist boy stepped into the hole first, and Shen Luo and Fu Donglai followed closely behind.
After the three of them had all entered, the hole in the gate was gradually filled with multicolored light that surged from all directions and disappeared.
"Please follow me." The little Daoist boy said and led the way on the mountain path.
Shen Luo and Fu Donglai followed behind and began to climb the mountain path.
It was very different from when Shen Luo had entered Fangcun Mountain. There were no dilapidated buildings, no piles of bones, only red walls and green tiles hidden in the shade of green trees.
Shen Luo had to admit that Fangcun Mountain, which hadn't been destroyed, could really be called a paradise, a paradise on earth.
The mountain was filled with pavilions, arched bridges, and connected corridors. Spirit deer could be seen jumping and red-crowned cranes dancing. It was a peaceful scene.
