Chapter 221 The Most Mysterious Observation
After the black snake was killed, the wind and rain gradually stopped.

Xu Heng looked up at the sky, and suddenly remembered what Lou Guandao had said before, so he said, “Junior brother said before that you were ordered to go down the mountain, I wonder if it is an important matter?”

“If it’s really urgent, there’s no need to waste time with me.”

Lou Guandao thought about it and seemed to think that there was no need to hide it from Xu Heng, so he said: “I came here just to deliver a letter to an old friend on behalf of my master.”

“Of course, Master’s orders are important, but I think delaying for a while won’t cause any problems.”

“Oh?” Xu Heng’s heart moved, and he couldn’t help but ask: “After delivering the letter, will you return to the mountain to report?”

“Of course I want it.” Lou Guandao agreed. Xu Heng’s eyes immediately lit up and he asked, “In that case, why don’t I wait for my junior brother to return and go with you to visit Master Ge?”

His treatment of Taoist Ge as a half-disciple was definitely not hypocritical. It was just that when he was practicing with Taoist Ge, he had not yet achieved the state of Xuan Guang, and he was accompanied by Master Qiao when he went there, so he had no idea where the fairy mountain was.

Now that he had met Louguan Dao unexpectedly, Xu Heng immediately wanted to pay him a visit.

Lou Guandao thought about it for a moment, and suddenly said, “In that case, wouldn’t it be inconvenient for Senior Brother to go with me?”

Xu Heng was surprised and asked, “Is there something wrong with this?”

Louguan Dao said: “The immortal mountain where I want to deliver the letter is in Fengchao territory. Brother, just go with me. If it is inconvenient, you can wait outside the mountain gate for a while. How about that?”

Xu Heng had no objection and agreed immediately. Louguan Dao did not waste any time. He took out a cloth bag, put away the corpse of the hundred-foot-long black snake, and then he cast a spell to summon clouds to lift up the two of them, and flew in a certain direction.

The words of Louguan Dao were indeed not false. The two of them traveled leisurely using the cloud method. It only took them one day and one night, and they seemed to have reached the earth.

He lowered the cloud, glanced at the green hills below, calculated the direction with his fingers, and said, “It should be here.”

Xu Heng was a little surprised. In Feng Dynasty, apart from Taiguang Immortal Palace, there were very few mountains that could truly be called immortal mountains, but they did exist. However, this small green mountain below was obviously not one of them.

At first glance, the place seems ordinary, but it is actually very close to human habitation. With a quick glance, one can see villages on the outskirts, and there are even hunters and woodcutters who dare to go deep into the mountains. It really doesn’t look like a place for spiritual practice.

However, Xu Heng did not ask much. He just followed the Louguan Road down into the mountains and released a talisman paper to lead the way. Finally, after going around in circles, they found a peak.

There was nothing on the top of the peak. Xu Heng looked over and saw the talisman paper floating down onto a flat mountain wall.

“Hmm?” Xu Heng’s heart moved, he opened his Dharma Eyes to look again, and the mountain wall suddenly changed its appearance. It was painted with ink and wash paintings of mist-shrouded green mountains and flying jade dragons. Above the green mountains, faintly visible were blue bricks and white walls, which was a corner of a Taoist temple.

It turns out that there are mountains beyond mountains and different caves.

“Brother, please follow me.” Although Lou Guandao seemed to be here for the first time, he had obviously expected this. He immediately called out to Xu Heng and stretched out his hand, gently touching the mountain wall.

Xu Heng followed suit, and the moment his palm touched the mountain wall, he felt the mountain wall melt away like water. He took a step inside, and suddenly he felt the view in front of him expand.

The green mountain in the painting is already in front of us, but it is more than ten thousand feet high, and there are cliffs and deep ravines separating us. As for the Taoist temple on the mountain, it is hidden in the clouds and cannot be seen.

Xu Heng noticed something strange, and after careful observation, he realized that although his magic power was still there, it was difficult to leave his body. In other words, he could not cast spells while in this place, and naturally he could not cast escape spells. Xu Heng frowned slightly, but soon calmed down, just looked at Lou Guandao, and asked, “Junior brother?”

Louguan Dao seemed a little surprised. He looked around but didn’t find any ropes or suspension bridges to get to the other side. He thought for a moment and saluted. He said in a deep voice, “I am the disciple of Zhu Ming Temple in Sushan, Louguan Dao. I am here to pay my respects to you on the orders of my master.”

The sound spread throughout the mountains for a long time, but there was still no response. Louguan Dao was puzzled and was about to ask again when there was a loud crash under the cliff.

Xu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and saw a dragon head rising up from the deep ravine.

Compared with the Chilong and Jiaolong he had seen before, this was definitely not an ordinary concept. Just one glance made Xu Heng feel… this was a dragon, a real dragon!

However, this dragon head seemed different from the real dragon he had imagined. It looked extremely ferocious, with two horns as sharp as flying swords, and foul air coming out of its mouth and nose. It did not look like a mythical beast or a fairy.

But although it looked ferocious, the dragon head did not have any evil intention when he spoke, but just said in a thunderous voice: “Stop making noise, no matter who you are, I don’t care about those idiots on the mountain.”

Suddenly seeing a ferocious dragon head sticking out, Lou Guandao’s eyelids could not help but jump, but he was not bad at keeping his composure, and soon calmed down, saying neither humbly nor arrogantly: “I have no intention of disturbing you, senior, but I came here to pay you a visit on the orders of my master, and I don’t know why I was turned away?”

The dragon head actually chuckled and said, “I’m not rejecting you, I’m just too lazy to bother with you.”

Louguan Dao was greatly confused, but the Dragon Head had no intention of explaining, and only said calmly: “I will take you up the mountain.”

The two were very surprised when they heard this, but after the dragon leader finished speaking, he just let out a light breath, and immediately turbid clouds came out and condensed into a suspension cable across the two sides of the mountain stream.

Lou Guandao and Xu Heng looked at each other and said, “Why don’t you wait for me here, Senior Brother?”

Xu Heng took a look at the deep ravine and knew that Louguan Dao was afraid of some danger. He had been ordered by his master not to retreat, but he had no need to do so.

However, he felt that a master like Master Ge would not make any mistakes, and if this “dragon” wanted to make things difficult for them, it didn’t seem to need to resort to other means.

Even if we take a step back and something really happened, although Xu Heng could not cast any magic, he could still fly off the ground. This was something that Louguan Dao did not know.

Xu Heng said: “Junior brother, don’t worry. Since this senior said he would take us up the mountain, we should just go.”

Upon hearing this, Louguan Dao stopped trying to persuade him and jumped onto the rope first, heading towards the other side of the mountain stream.

Xu Heng followed closely behind, and suddenly he remembered the scene of walking on the “Duxian Bridge” that year, and couldn’t help but smile.

The two of them walked across the suspension rope without any accidents. They passed the other side of the mountain stream steadily, and then they saw the suspension rope suddenly dissipate into turbid clouds. Xu Heng withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, and together with Lou Guandao, they found the path up the mountain.

Soon, blue bricks, white walls, upturned corners and flying eaves appeared at the end of the sight.

The two looked up and saw three golden characters “Zui Xuan Guan” (The Most Mysterious Temple) above the gate of the Taoist temple through the clouds.
