The river below the mountain flows endlessly, and the Xiongguan Fortress is in the distance.

Taichu Temple is located on this cliff mountain.

Sit and watch the thousands of years of wind and clouds inside and outside the pass, as well as the deceased Sifu who passed away on the west side of the river.

The Taoist was riding a donkey up the mountain along a rugged path. The mountain road was dangerous and an ordinary person would fall down if he was not careful.

Shattered to pieces.

The Qinglong boy sat cross-legged on the sword, circled the sky several times, and then landed next to the Taoist.

"Sir! There doesn't seem to be anything special about this place? Why do you want to come here?"

Kongchenzi said.

"This Taichu Temple is an important place for Taoism. It has been passed down for thousands of years and contains the largest number of Taoism books and scriptures."

Taichu Palace was an important place in the Taoist palace in ancient times. In ancient times, many Taoist masters came from the north to the south and passed through here to preach and preach in this mysterious palace.

Gao Xian once heard the old Taoist priest Gao Shi say that in its heyday there were thousands of Taoists here.

The old Taoist priest stayed here for many years in the past. Although he did not accept any disciples, he taught many Taoist disciples and was a source of incense.

Gao Xian raised his hand and showed his fingers, pointing at the steep mountain road. Looking back, everything down the mountain seemed insignificant.

It is a kind of artistic conception, but it is also extremely dangerous. Walking this road is a test of the human heart.

"The path we are walking on now is also called the Way of Asking the Heart. In ancient times, Taoists who went up the mountain to read the scriptures had to pass through this path."

"For thousands of years, countless people have gone up the mountain from here to seek immortality."

"I have thought about it a long time ago. If I have the chance, I will definitely come here to take a look."

General Donkey left the prosperous place in the capital, and his master took over his small treasury.

At this moment, I was walking with my head downcast, and when I heard the master finished speaking, he muttered in a low voice.

"Such a nice thing to say."

"Obviously I came here for those scriptures."

Then he said the second half of the sentence in a slanderous tone: "Taoist priests on the mountain should be careful, the great immortal is coming up the mountain."

The Taoist immediately lowered his head, his eyes as bright as a torch.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Could it be that... you are speaking ill of the master?"

Seeing that the master was looking at him, General Donkey's expression that had been extremely dissatisfied and slanderous just now suddenly became extremely warm and considerate.

"No way, little donkey, this means that your heart for the Tao is so firm that no one can match it."

"It is truly a blessing to the common people!"

The Taoist looked towards the mountain and no longer stared at General Donkey.

"Go faster!"

"Don't dawdle."

General Donkey's pace immediately became a little faster, licking his face as he walked to explain.

"Yes! Master."

"Little Donkey, don't you want to experience the feeling of the ancients asking for help?"

"Don't worry, General Donkey will be there soon as long as he exerts his strength!"

The donkey jumped up and down, quickly went up the mountain road, and passed through thickets and bushes.

Finally reaching the mountainside, I saw the towering mountain gate and the wide stairs.

It leads directly to the layers of halls and Taoist temples at higher places.

But there are ruins everywhere, and the old palaces and temples are uninhabited and unrenovated, and have long been abandoned.

The main hall has been in disrepair for a long time. The palaces and pavilions that used to be spread all over the mountain tops are now left with only a dozen palaces that are maintained by people.

A total of a dozen Taoist priests scattered up and down were guarding here.

At first glance, it seems as if there is no one there.

When Gao Xian arrived, the Taoist sect was in decline, and the former Taoist powerhouse also became like this.

"Doesn't this look too shabby?"

The arrogant and lewd General Donkey was so disgusted that he began to miss the emperor's palace, fine wines and delicacies.

General Donkey's number one natural enemy, Yun Jun, said: "As expected, the stupid donkey only sees those dirty and vulgar things, which are extremely smelly."

Yunjun turned around and floated up, feeling free and comfortable.

"The so-called mountain is not high, it is famous if it has immortals."

"There are people of good virtue living in this humble house, not to mention there are three thousand Taoist treasures here."

"Ah! I can already smell the fragrance of books and ink."

General Donkey rolled his eyes and said, "You have been drinking from the northwest wind all day long. You know how to drink wine and meat through your intestines and the happiness left in your gold and silver pockets."

In the eyes of General Donkey, the happiest person here is undoubtedly his own master.

Because the master is the richest.

General Donkey can never imagine the happiness of a rich man.

The Taoist did not pay attention to the fight between the guardian gods, but raised his head and looked up high. This time he was indeed directed at the Taoist Scriptures of Taichu Guan.

Although Daojun Kongchen doesn’t think much of it.

But such a wide row of bookshelves in Yunzhongjie cannot remain empty forever.

Besides, books are always based on Taoist canons and classics. The more books you collect, the more they may be used in the future.

Just looking at this, I wonder how much of the classics from the past are left today.

Taichu Temple, Kongming Hall.

The old Taoist priest Shouyuan took a dozen Taoist priests, large and small, to chant sutras together. He got up after finishing evening classes, looked at the disciples following him below, and sighed.

The Taoist sect has declined to this point, which makes him amazed. In the past, Taichu Temple was also an important inheritance of the Taoist sect.

Now it is completely lost and is no different from an ordinary Taoist temple.

The only difference is that there are still some remnants of the remarks left by Taoist masters in the past, but they are not related to practice. It is for this reason that Taichu Guan is so peaceful now.

Elder Shou stood up and said to a middle-aged disciple.

"Daoxuan, remember to ring the dusk bell later."

Then he looked at the two more stable ones among the third generation: "Ming Xin, Ming Guang, you two, take a look around, especially the Sutra Collection Hall. If nothing happens, go to rest early."

The sky is dim and the bells are ringing.

"Dong dong dong!"

It represents the end of the day.

The two Taoist boys inspected the still well-preserved halls and temples, walking from the mountainside to the top of the mountain.

The sky was dark, and the two of them lit lanterns.

Finally, we came to a palace on the top of the mountain that seemed to be embedded in the mountain wall. This is the Sutra Collection Hall of Taichu Temple.

But before the two Taoist boys had time to reach the top of the mountain, they saw a light shining in the Sutra Collection Hall on the stairs.

"What's going on? Why is there light in the Sutra Pavilion?" Mingxin Tong'er said strangely, holding a lantern and looking up with his eyes.

"It won't catch on fire!" Mingguang exclaimed.

The two children suddenly panicked and hurried upwards, arriving in front of the Sutra Collection Hall.

"Listen..." Taoist Mingxin pointed inside.

"There is a sound." Another child nodded.

The two little Taoist priests stepped forward cautiously, listening to the voices inside, the voices of people, and what sounded like the braying of donkeys.

OK!

Not only did people sneak in, but they also brought donkeys in.

It's really too arrogant.

The two Taoist boys tiptoed and walked to the door of the palace.

Then, he suddenly opened the door.

"who!"

"In the beginning, the Guanzang Sutra is an important place, and no one is allowed to trespass."
