Shen Luo originally just wanted to see the Changshou Village before the disaster, but he found that it was completely different from what he saw in his dream.
After this incident, Fu Dong's look at Shen Luo became even more strange.
The two of them trekked for several hours along the route drawn in the sketch and finally arrived at the foot of the majestic mountain.
But what appeared before them were towering green mountain walls, and there was no way into the mountain at all.
"Brother Shen, this picture... is he really right?" Fu Donglai couldn't help but ask.
Shen Luo did not give a direct answer to Fu Donglai's question.
He looked at the familiar scene in front of him, and based on the terrain features in his memory, it didn't take him much effort to find a huge protruding rock in front of a mountain wall.
"Brother Fu, look here." Shen Luo pointed to a black circle on the sketch and said.
Fu Dong looked at it for a moment, frowned slightly, and looked at the boulder for a moment, then said, "This circle doesn't look like a stone, does it?"
Shen Luo smiled without saying a word and took him to the side of the boulder, whereupon a cave hidden underneath was revealed.
"Oh, so this circle represents the entrance of this hole..." Fu Donglai slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
They first went down into the cave entrance, and then went up the slope along the passage in the cave, passing through the mountain for hundreds of feet, before coming out from a cave on the mountain wall behind Fangcun Mountain.
After exiting the cave, there is a cobblestone mountain path in front of you, leading all the way into the depths of the forest.
Shen Luo and his companion walked along the mountain path for about two or three miles, and finally a wide bluestone mountain road appeared in front of them.
At the beginning of the mountain path, there stands a wooden archway about ten feet high, with a plaque hung horizontally on it, with three large characters "Fangcun Mountain" inscribed on it. Below the archway, on the right side of the road, there stands a three-foot-high bluestone.
There are four large characters in ancient seal script engraved on the bluestone: "Seek the Way in the Heart".
Before the two of them reached the wooden archway, they felt strong fluctuations of spiritual energy coming from there.
When they got closer, they indeed felt a very strong oppressive force rising from the void inside the gate, with an obvious pushing and rejecting force in it.
Shen Luo walked forward and raised his hand to press towards the void in the gate.
There was a sudden flash of light in the void, and a brilliant colorful glare appeared, which the palm could not penetrate at all.
At the same time, flowing light also spread out from the gate, and instantly turned into an extremely huge sky-covering light curtain, covering the entire Fangcun Mountain.
Immediately afterwards, the colorful light curtain inside the gate flashed slightly, and a not very strong spiritual power fluctuation arose, forcing Shen Luo to retreat a little.
Then, a slightly cold voice came from inside the gate:
"Fangcun Mountain is closed and no visitors are being received for the time being. Fellow Taoists, please return on your own."
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo and the other person looked at each other.
"I am Fu Donglai, a junior from the demon clan. I am here to climb the mountain and become your disciple. Please make an exception and let me in." Fu Donglai used his magic power and shouted loudly. His voice was like a tiger's roar, shaking the mountains and forests.
"Our sect has closed its doors and has stopped accepting new members. We will not accept any more disciples from outside the sect within the next hundred years." The voice sounded again, still without a trace of emotion.
