Chapter 308
The Mountain Gate Formation of Maoshan is an indestructible barrier. As long as you don’t know how to enter the Mountain Gate Formation, even if you are a Daluo Jinxian, you will not be able to step into the Cave Paradise of Maoshan, because this Mountain Gate Formation was arranged by the Patriarch of Maoshan.
Yes, the thousand-year-old protective formation has many mechanisms inside, and the strong wind is so strong that it can stir up thunder and fire. If there is a slight deviation, people will be strangled to death by the formation.
Although Ge Yu didn't stay in Maoshan for a long time, he had walked back and forth to the mountain gate array a lot at that time, so he was naturally familiar with the route this time.
Due to Ge Yu's special status, he is considered to be the youngest "dragon" master in Maoshan. After entering the Cave Heaven Paradise, many practitioners from Maoshan came to greet Ge Yu. Some called him junior brother, and some called him uncle.
Some people call him uncle, and the youngest disciple directly calls him master when he meets Ge Yu.
Those who are senior to Ge Yu basically don't wander around outside. They usually hide in a secret corner of Maoshan and practice hard, and they won't show up until the critical moment.
After Ge Yu came to Maoshan Cave Paradise, he walked quickly and went directly to the place where his master practiced.
After waiting there, Ge Yu suddenly remembered that his master seemed to be in seclusion for cultivation, so he turned around and went directly to a cave in Xuankong Cliff. When his master was in seclusion, Ge Yu knew where his master was in seclusion.
The Hanging Cliff is a secret place in the back mountain of Dongtian Paradise. There are many caves around the Hanging Cliff, some of which are naturally formed, and some of which were dug by the masters of Maoshan Mountain.
The cave where the master is located is a naturally formed cave. There is a stone gate in the cave, blocking Ge Yu's way. There is a stone tablet in front of the stone gate, which is written in small seals - "Reclusion Restricted Area" in four big characters.
The master was practicing in seclusion, and Ge Yu did not dare to disturb him rashly, so he had to stop in front of the stone tablet, knelt there, kowtowed towards the entrance of the cave, and then said respectfully: "Master, my disciple Long Yan has come to see you.
.”
However, Ge Yu shouted twice in that direction, but there was no response from the cave.
Ge Yu did not dare to interrupt rashly, thinking that the master was in trance and could not speak, so he knelt and waited there for two full hours before opening his mouth to ask again, but there was still no response from the cave.
Now Ge Yu couldn't sit still. The old man usually liked his little apprentice the most. He hadn't seen him for several months. He came to visit him. The old man should be very happy. Why would he ignore him?
Thinking of this, Ge Yu stood up directly, no matter what the restrictions were, and walked to the entrance of the cave. There was a hole as big as a head at the entrance of the cave, which was a place where meals were usually delivered to these people in seclusion.
Some of these experienced Taoists in retreat can go a week without eating or drinking, just relying on consuming their own energy. Some Taoists with extremely high cultivation levels can go without food for several months.
Ge Yu also heard from his master that an old Taoist named Wudaozi in Zhongnan Mountain could stay in seclusion for twenty years without eating or drinking and still survive.
But it can be said that a practitioner like this in the Taoist sect is rare and rare.
Master lived for more than a hundred years, and when he was in seclusion, he went without eating or drinking for several months, which is already considered very powerful.
Ge Yu called out to Master several times through the entrance of the cave where food was delivered. The cave was empty, but there was still no response, which made Ge Yu a little puzzled.
It is impossible for the master to ignore himself.
The stone blocking the entrance of the cave was locked from the inside and could not be opened from the outside, unless the stone door was broken into pieces. Ge Yu did not dare to do this, so he had to leave here in frustration.
Because he felt that the master was probably not in the cave.
It is said that Master retreats for at least half a year at a time, but it has only been a few months, so why did he come out?
Faintly, Ge Yu suddenly felt a little uneasy, so he bypassed the hanging cliff and went to the small courtyard where Master Long Hua lived.
The residence of Master Longhua is half an hour away from Hanging Cliff. It is nestled in a bamboo forest and is very quiet.
Ge Yu found the place directly, pushed open the courtyard door, and shouted carelessly: "Brother Headmaster, I'm back, are you at home?"
After shouting for a few times, an old man with white beard and hair walked out of the house. He looked to be at least ninety years old. When he saw Ge Yu, his face suddenly lit up with joy. He quickly walked towards Ge Yu and greeted him warmly:
"My junior brother is back. How do you feel after going down the mountain to practice for a few months?"
Ge Yu was also very happy when he saw the headmaster. He scratched his head and said, "It's not bad. I gained a lot."
The headmaster took a long look at Ge Yu, nodded, and said: "I think it's not bad, your cultivation seems to have improved a lot. Please sit down in the room quickly. You must not have eaten. I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook some food quickly and entertain you well."
Give you a try."
Ge Yu had been on the road and had indeed not eaten, but he was more concerned about his master's affairs. Before he entered the door, he couldn't wait to say: "Brother, master, where is our master? Just now I went to look for him in his retreat, and he seemed to be
not here."
Master Long Hua's expression changed, and he quickly returned to normal. He said with a smile: "Don't worry about this now. You have come all the way. You are tired from the journey. Please eat first before talking."
With that said, he let Ge Yu into the house.
The furnishings in the house are very simple, and the furniture is very simple. It looks like ordinary furnishings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Then, an old woman with gray hair came forward and greeted Ge Yu politely. This person was the wife of Master Long Hua. Ge Yu should call her sister-in-law. For this youngest junior brother, the whole Maoshan people
It's very caring.
Maoshan is a righteous people, you can marry a wife and have children, you don't have to avoid eating meat, and there is no problem with drinking.
The old woman chatted with Ge Yu for a few words, and then went down to cook.
After a short time, the food and wine were served, and the headmaster invited Ge Yu to eat. Ge Yu had a great meal, and then asked about his master again.
At this time, the headmaster was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to speak, and then said: "Junior brother, our master seems to be no longer in Maoshan."
"What does it mean?" Ge Yu was picking up vegetables when his hand stopped in mid-air and looked at Master Long Hua in confusion.
"It's like this. Master left Maoshan without saying goodbye. I don't know when he left Maoshan, or the Taoist boy who delivered the food discovered that Master was not here. You also know that Master is a person who is free and easy by nature, free as he pleases, and has always been unrestrained.
He didn't even say hello to me, so I don't know where he is now?"
