It turned out that the Hangu Pass guard only caused such an incident to collect more money. Chen Yong was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was also worried about how his second brother Li Meng's troops would be sent over. He didn't expect that.

This was just a false alarm, they just needed more money. When everyone hurried through Hangu Pass, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When Chen Yong watched everyone pass through Hangu Pass smoothly, they had already entered the area controlled by Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Cavalry. Chen Yong informed Fang Ming that his soldiers should only do normal defense work, and all matters should be paid attention to.

Following the command of the caravan, Chen Yong rode a white dragon horse and followed his younger sister Chen Yiran's carriage. Along the way, he and her looked at the scenery along the way and chatted.

Everyone followed the caravan transporting silk and walked slowly. On the road, even if there was a fixed shop route for every break, we walked for another two days and came to a choke point again.

Dao. When Chen Yong arrived here, he couldn't help but concentrate completely and didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

Including Fang Ming and the soldiers, they all clenched the swords and guns in their hands. It turned out that at this time, the carriage and horses came to a valley again, which was as dangerous as a letter. It stretched from Xiaoshan in the east to Tongjin in the west.

The common name is Han Valley, and it is also known as "natural danger". Guarding the throat of Xiaohan, it is connected to Hengling Mountains in the west, Juejian Mountain in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. The terrain is dangerous and the road is narrow!

This place is more dangerous than the Hangu Pass that we passed the day before yesterday, but why has no city been built? Chen Yong was puzzled. Jia Lian, a merchant selling silk, said: "My lord, I don't know, but this is also the Hangu Pass! It's just that

This is Qin Hangu Pass. The previous Hangu Pass was built by Yang Pu, the general of the Han Dynasty, in the third year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It became the 'first gateway' from Luoyang to Chang'an!

Xin'an Hangu Pass refers to Luodu in the east and looks to Chang'an in the west. It is known as "one man can handle the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it". It is the first of the "Eight Passes of Luoyang" and the title of "the first pass on the westward journey of the Silk Road". And this

The place where it is located is the Qinhan Valley Pass. It is known as 'the chariots are not square and the tracks are not square, and the horses are not bridles'. This is the real dangerous place!"

Chen Yong looked at the steepness here and said: "If there is a sentinel horse here during war, it will really be a one man guarding the pass, and there will be no way for ten thousand men to break it! Especially the steepness on both sides, if the army wants to rush in, it will really

It is more difficult than climbing to the sky! No wonder Dong Zhuo built the capital in Chang'an and moved Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie to the Weiyang Palace. It turns out that this place is really easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

Jia Lian said: "What the Lord said is that we are transporting silk. Every time we come here, we are worried about the collapse of the valley here. As long as any accident occurs, we and the caravan can die without a burial place! This is also

The reason why the silk shipped to Chang'an can command a premium several times. The first is that the officials and people of Chang'an miss their homeland and need silk from the Central Plains; the second is because this road is too dangerous and life may be in danger at any time!"

Chen Yong said: "I heard that Taoist Laozi once passed through Hanyuguan. I rode a green ox out of the pass and left the Tao Te Ching here!"

Jia Lian was very shrewd and said: "Legend has it that back then, Yin Xi, the commander-in-chief of Hangu Pass, looked at the sunrise in the distance and looked to the east. The purple energy was vast for eight thousand miles. 'The sun rises in the east and the purple energy comes from the east'. Only then did I see Lao Tzu coming on a green bull.

.So Commander-in-Chief Yin Xi took the disciple ceremony and asked Lao Tzu for advice. Lao Tzu also knew his wonders, and in response to his request, he wrote more than 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching and passed it down to the world, and also passed down Yin Xi's internal and external cultivation methods."

Chen Yong said: "Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao; it can be named, but it is not named. The nameless beginning of heaven and earth is the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonder; there is always desire to observe its beauty. These two

They come from the same origin but have different names. They are both called mysterious, and the mysterious is mysterious again. It is the door to many wonderful things!"

Liu Xing listened at a loss, but Chen Yiran said in the carriage: "Brother, you can also memorize this Tao Te Ching. I only read "Tao Te Ching" after following the immortal master Zuo Ci.

Sutra, it’s just that the immortal master Zuo Ci said that my body is ill and I cannot practice the immortal way..."

Chen Yong looked at Yiyi who looked sad again in the carriage and said: "Little sister, I believe that you are a lucky person. It is a coincidence that you and I, brother and sister, can get acquainted. It is also God's arrangement! Even so, you don't want to

You are so sentimental anymore. I believe that my mentor, Taoist Zuo Ci, will find a way to get you out of the sea of ​​suffering.

When the little sister gets rid of the disease and her physical condition improves, it is not a question of whether she can practice Taoism. It is a question of whether she is willing to practice Taoism and whether she wants to practice it. All this depends on your own choice, and neither do I.

Will interfere with my little sister’s choice!”

Chen Yiran looked at Chen Yong and said: "Brother, if you no longer have attachment in this world, will you choose to practice Taoism?"

Chen Yong said: "My mentor, Taoist Zuo Ci, said that I have an unresolved relationship, so although we have a master-disciple relationship with him, he has never truly accepted me as his disciple. Although he has improved me with pills,

My body is still far from what he really wants from me! My mentor, Taoist Zuo Ci, once said that until I see through all the conditions in the world and understand the warmth and coldness of the world, I will never be able to cultivate the Tao!"

Chen Yiran looked at Chen Yong and said: "It turns out that eldest brother is the chosen one. As long as the faith in eldest brother's heart remains unchanged, he will definitely become an immortal and attain Taoism in the end. I am just a piece of scenery on the path of eldest brother's cultivation. What do you think of me?"

Everything I have done is just a test on the road of cultivation..."

Chen Yong looked at his little sister Yiyi's suddenly dim eyes, and felt sad in his heart. Chen Yong looked at Chen Yiyi and said: "Yiyi, I, Chen Yong, will be with you for the rest of my life! Even if I can't cultivate Taoism or become an immortal.

How? In my opinion, the most important thing now is to find a way to get rid of the national thief Dong Zhuo and let Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, ascend the throne. Only then can this troubled times be ended!

You and I, brother and sister, are here to save the people of the world, not to become immortals! Little sister, you came to the place where I came out of seclusion, and you are so sentimental. It seems that you, little sister, are also destined to be immortals?

How about this, you and I, brothers, no matter who is destined to be an immortal in the future, we must find a way to help the other person achieve his immortality?"

Chen Yiran's eyes lit up. She looked at Chen Yong and nodded heavily. A blush appeared on his face, and he actually looked shy. Chen Yong looked at the radiant little girl Yiyi, and was naturally very happy. In Chen Yong's eyes,

It still seems that being able to be with my eldest brother Chen Yong is the most important thing. Otherwise, what will happen if I become an immortal?

She doesn't care who is the emperor in this world, she just hopes that her eldest brother can always protect her. This trip to Chang'an is because Yiyi knows that it is very dangerous, and she is more worried about what accidents will happen to her eldest brother. Although

Going to Chang'an with his elder brother Chen Yong will also be dangerous, but what does that mean? The most important thing is that the two of them can be together.

At this time, Chen Yong began to worry about Yiyi's health, because in Fangshan County, when Chen Yili and Zhao Hai were newly married, Chen Yong saw Yiyi who was overworked and vomiting blood. Although Yiyi repeatedly covered it up and said

This is just because he is overworked, but Chen Yong knows that relying on medicine alone to maintain Chen Yiran's health is not a long-term solution. But why hasn't Master Zuo Ci come yet?

At this time, Taoist Zuo Ci has also reached the most critical moment. It turns out that Taoist Zuo Ci left the land of Youzhou and returned to his own place of cultivation in Tianzhu Mountain. The reason why Taoist Zuo Ci came out of the mountain was because he had calculated that he and

Chen Yong has a master-disciple relationship. What's more, it's the end of the world, and it's especially difficult to practice Taoism. It takes a long time to recover after using Taoism, so you need to rely on elixirs to make up for it.

Taoist Zuo Ci knew that if he wanted to break through, he could only rely on chance instead of concentrating on cultivating Taoism. That's why he went to rescue Chen Yong, hoping to help him break through by participating in this worldly battle and taking advantage of Chen Yong's general trend.

, and he became an immortal. After he obtained the "Dunjia Heavenly Book", he practiced for hundreds of years before he could cultivate an immortal body. However, he still lacked some skills to achieve the ascension of the Tao.

Taoist Zuo Ci was practicing Taoism in Tianzhu Mountain when he suddenly felt restless. He calculated with his fingers and realized that the secret of heaven was unpredictable and God had closed the door to Taoism and immortality. Obviously, he had entered troubled times now. If he wanted to catch up in troubled times,

To ascend in the middle, you can only rely on the general trend and rely on the merits of others to help you.

Taoist Zuo Ci relied on the hexagrams and calculated that Chen Yong, who had a relationship with him as a master and disciple, was in trouble in Hanoi County, so he would go out to Tianzhu Mountain to see what was different about this disciple. Come to

After meeting Chen Yong in Hanoi County, he was attracted by Chen Yong's qualifications. It turns out that it is so easy for a person favored by God to become an immortal and attain enlightenment...

Although he was very envious of Chen Yong's qualifications, he once again performed divination next to Chen Yong and relied on the divination signs of Zuo Ci to realize that his apprentice's mortal fate was not over yet. If he wanted to rely on his disciple Chen Yong's power, he also knew that

It is the principle that destiny cannot be violated. Therefore, Taoist Zuo Ci spared no effort to take care of everything for Chen Yong and help Chen Yong temper his body so that he can have more power to protect himself in this troubled world.

He also helped Chen Yong conquer a group of Yellow Turban Army soldiers as his initial force, and sent him to Youzhou to help him get acquainted with Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, and then went to Guanzicheng with Liu Guanzhang to rescue Qidu

Wei Gongsun Zan! With the help of Taoist Zuo Ci, Chen Yong was able to go all the way without any danger. Not only did he successfully rescue Gongsun Zan in Guanzicheng, but he also subdued loyal people like Li Meng.

Chen Yong relied on the Yellow Turban Army of Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, as well as Li Meng's brothers to form the foundation for his foothold in Youzhou. Taoist Zuo Ci and Chen Yong together rescued a man with congenital heart deficiency.

.Chen Yiyi's life experience made Taoist Zuo Ci feel compassion, and that's why he came to do so many things to help Yiyi.

Even if Taoist Zuo Ci exhausted all he had learned, he still couldn't save Chen Yiran's life. He could only rely on elixirs to prevent his condition from getting worse. But even if he had the herbs he found on the Western Mountain to protect his heart veins, he refined them.

With the aid of elixirs, she could only save her life for three years.

Taoist Zuo Ci returned to Tianzhu Mountain and searched the "Dunjia Tianshu", but still couldn't find a way to cure Chen Yiran. But why did he have a strong feeling that if he wanted to achieve immortality, he needed to fall on these two people.

?Taoist Zuo Ci knows that his feeling is correct, but now he has no good way to help Chen Yiran escape from danger.

Taoist Zuo Ci slapped his head and realized the key to the problem. Maybe it was because of this opportunity that God would favor him and allow him to make a breakthrough in the past two years! Relying on the records of "Dunjia Tianshu", if he breaks through the bottleneck,

, naturally, he was able to save Chen Yiran's life before ascending.

So Taoist Zuo Ci began to prepare things for cultivation, and then used methods to hide himself in the cultivation place in Tianzhu Mountain. He then began to concentrate on cultivating the Tao. There is no time in the mountain, and this cultivation lasted two years.
Chapter completed!
