The back gate of the sect is located due north and east of the entire sect. Although it is the back gate, it is also built extremely tall and majestic from a distance, with carved beams and painted columns.

When Ye Guzhou and Zhou Changsheng were approaching the north gate, they bowed slightly to a boulder that was ten stories high and looked like a hill! Qi Dao

"Master Patriarch is well!"

It turns out that the back door is slightly to the east because there is a tall boulder just north of the sect, which occupies a large area, so the back door can only be slightly tilted to the east.

After the back door of the sect was built, all the disciples entering and exiting had to go around the stone. When passing by, the disciples had to bow to the huge stone and say well, the founder of the sect! To express their gratitude to the founder of the sect.

kindness.

It is said that the founder of the sect passed by this place in the past and saw that the stone was very strange, the spiritual energy of this place was relatively strong, and the scenery was beautiful, so he stayed here to practice, and gradually established the sect and the sect has flourished to this day.

It is also said that this stone is the place where the Patriarch attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, so disciples in the sect usually have to pay homage when they pass by.

This stone is deep underground. There are two strong and powerful characters "Qingyun" engraved on the waist of the stone. The top of the stone exudes a seemingly non-existent green energy all year round, as if it has enveloped the entire sect's backyard! Because

The huge stone is called "Qingyun Stone", and the Qingyun Sect got its name from this.

This boulder is strange and has a strange green aura. The elders of the Qingyun Sect have been studying it carefully for thousands of years. However, this stone is just an ordinary whole bluestone, which is taller and stronger than ordinary stones.

But the strange thing about this huge stone is that there is no grass growing on it, and it is dust-free and soil-free all year round. In summer, the rain does not wet it, and in winter, the snowflakes fall and turn into gas and disperse. It feels neither warm nor cool to the touch, and is as smooth as jade. The green air on the stone is always there all year round.

It just seems to be there and seems to be nothing, without any action, and it is neither poisonous nor harmless.

Since no explanation could be found through research, no one gradually studied it anymore. The sect only considered it a relic to commemorate the founding father, and occasionally paid homage to it.

Ye Guzhou was about to leave after paying homage. Suddenly, a trace of green air emanating from the stone seemed to float into his forehead, and his spirit was lifted! When he wanted to feel it seriously, he felt that there was nothing.

I couldn't help but shake my head, wondering if I had just traveled through time and was not energetic enough to be dazzled? So I took Zhou Changsheng indifferently and went to the deacon's office at the back door to check his waist badge and go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Before leaving, I turned around and took another look at the boulder. I felt that the boulder seemed even taller. It looked like a general with great righteousness and righteousness, standing there commanding thousands of troops to charge into battle! It also looked like an immortal, soaring into the clouds and mist in the daytime! I couldn't help but stand on my feet again.

Goodbye!

"Zhouzi, what's wrong with you today? Are you still bowing to the Patriarch's Stone? Do you want to get more firewood today?"

Zhou Changsheng said a little impatiently.

"It's okay! Little Fatty, it's good to sharpen your knife and chop wood. It's good to pay homage to the Patriarch's Stone more often! I hope his old man will bless us to leave and come back early."

Ye Guzhou smiled and said.

"Then I'll pay my respects too! I'll also ask the Patriarch to bless us to find good firewood, so we can go early and come back early."

After finishing speaking, Xiaopang bowed to the boulder again, muttering blessings and other words in a low voice.

For thousands of years, the disciples of the sect have worshiped the huge stone as the ancestor, so Qingyun stone is called the "ancestral stone" by the disciples. It has been passed down to this day!

"start!"

Ye Guzhou and Zhou Changsheng checked their badges at the deacon's disciple office at the door and officially started today's firewood journey.

Ye Guzhou left the sect and walked along the path into the mountain, breathing in the fresh air and looking at the magnificent and beautiful scenery along the way. He felt so good that he couldn't help but roar.

"Why are you howling? You scared me."

Xiaopang punched Ye Guzhou and cursed.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Little Fatty, I'm just in a good mood! No more shouting, no more shouting."

Ye Guzhou smiled and said to Zhou Changsheng.

The two of them accelerated into the mountain, gradually getting farther and farther away from the sect, and the back mountain became closer and closer.

The back mountain of Qingyun Sect is the huge Yinshan Mountains, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, spanning Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County. In front of the mountains is a vast plain with fertile land. The mountains block the cold wind from the north, so the climate is pleasant.

There are countless people and countries living there. Behind the mountains are grasslands and snowfields. The population is sparse, but there are a large number of animals and powerful monsters.

There are nine huge peaks of different heights scattered around the back mountain for hundreds of miles. The highest one in the middle is the main peak. People named it Jiufeng Mountain after the peak. The smaller peaks on the outside are called Eight Peaks, Seven Peaks...

There are many animals in the mountains, and there are a small number of monsters living there. However, the monsters are mainly active on the main peak of Jiufeng Mountain, and a very small number are active on the outer four and five peaks.

The place where the sect conducts trials for the outer disciples is at the fourth and fifth peaks. There are usually first and second level monsters there, which are equivalent to the Qi Refining Stage. There are very few monsters above the third level that are equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Appears. If it does, there will be elders in the foundation building stage who will lead the team to deal with it. The trials for the outer disciples of the sect are also mainly about gathering medicine and hunting wild beasts. Hunting monsters is usually the final and best result of the trial.

Tasks are mostly group and team tasks.

It is said that the main peak of Jiufeng Mountain has monsters with fifth-level Golden Core cultivation level. It is basically designated as a restricted area by the sect, and inner and outer sect disciples are strictly prohibited from entering. In fact, ordinary inner and outer sect disciples are prohibited from entering above the sixth peak. As for the major branches of the sect,

Personal disciples can form a team to enter after reporting to the sect.

The place where Ye Guzhou and Zhou Changsheng gathered firewood today was on the outskirts of Jiufeng Mountain. Only a small number of wild animals survived, mostly common rabbits, monkeys, mountain roe deer and other herbivores. Large carnivores rarely appeared.

The two of them continued to go deeper along the mountain road, and there were not many qualified wildfirewood outside. What they were going to now was a place called Yingluojian, where the virgin forest was dense and there were endless qualified wildfirewood. The fuel content was very powerful.

The best fuel for Zongmen kitchen.

The terrain of Yingluojian is dangerous, and there are deep mountain springs flowing at the bottom of the valley. The eagles flying in the sky often fly down due to the rippling water at the bottom of the valley, like small animals running around, and fall straight into the water, hence the name Yingluojian.

.

Of course, Ye Guzhou had never seen an eagle fall into the water, and he had never seen even a sparrow in the stream. Maybe it was just a random name given by the ancients.

After walking for about an hour, they arrived at the place where they usually collect firewood. The two of them skillfully chopped down a pine tree that had just begun to wither and bundled it into sections. This kind of semi-dry pine is the best firewood because it is not too dry.

It’s not too wet, and has just the right oil content. It can be used after drying for a few days and splitting. In less than two hours, the two of them made two bundles of firewood, each bundle weighing a hundred kilograms. Ye Guzhou today

The one is slightly thicker, about 130 pounds.
