"According to the Big Dipper on the map from last night and comparing it with the map, the direction it points to is this way."
"Then that must be... Zhijian Mountain?"
He Xiuyuan followed the direction, controlling water to move towards the Great Marsh.
By noon, He Xiuyuan arrived in front of a mountain range.
This mountain range was quite peculiar; its base resembled a palm, and as it rose, five peaks looked like five fingers.
However, among these five fingers, only one pointed straight up to the sky, while the other four peaks were slightly bent.
It looked as if the fingertips were reaching towards the sky.
"If I'm not mistaken, Biluo Temple is here. If I'm wrong, then I might really have to flood this Great Marsh to find out where Biluo Temple is."
"But to flood this Great Marsh..."
He Xiuyuan thought of that scene and immediately shook his head repeatedly.
If this Great Marsh were to be flooded, the water would rush downstream, destroying countless villages outside the Great Marsh, and there would undoubtedly be countless casualties.
Therefore, even if he couldn't find Biluo Temple, he couldn't possibly flood this Great Marsh.
He Xiuyuan put away the map and headed directly towards the peak that resembled a fingertip.
However, as soon as He Xiuyuan entered the mountain range, his gaze sharpened.
"This is...?"
He Xiuyuan looked at a stone standing by the side of the mountain path.
The position of this stone seemed somewhat similar to the position of the Dubhe star in the Big Dipper.
Coincidence, or...?
He Xiuyuan came to the stone and looked at it, then scanned his surroundings but did not find Merak.
After some thought, He Xiuyuan followed the direction of the Big Dipper and walked towards the position of Merak.
After walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, when He Xiuyuan turned a corner, he saw a stone similar to the previous one.
Looking at the placement of this stone, He Xiuyuan took out the Zhijian Mountain map and compared it.
If this was the case, it seemed like Alkaid was precisely on the mountain?
He Xiuyuan thought of this and immediately walked down, following the direction indicated by the Big Dipper.
"It seems there really is some Dao to this!"
When He Xiuyuan followed the Big Dipper's guidance and arrived halfway up the mountain, mists rose out of nowhere, enveloping the surroundings.
From the looks of it, if one didn't follow the Big Dipper's guidance, it would be impossible to find Biluo Temple.
Ordinary people would get lost in this fog.
However, this almost confirmed that Biluo Temple was on this mountain.
When He Xiuyuan followed the direction indicated by the Big Dipper and walked all the way up the mountain, after crossing the Alkaid star in the final step, the view suddenly opened up.
On the mountain ahead, clear springs flowed down from the mountain; these clear springs covered the stone steps, and as they flowed down, they possessed an indescribable ancient charm.
On both sides of the stone steps, various flowers, plants, and trees were casually planted, and some casually carved stone statues could also be seen.
Further up, there were lush trees planted on both sides, and at the end of the small path was the gate of a Daoist temple, where two Disciples were sweeping fallen leaves from the ground with brooms.
As the two Disciples swept the fallen leaves, when they were in high spirits, they would sweep their brooms, rolling up the leaves and moving with them.
As their figures shifted, these fallen leaves constantly swirled around their bodies, like Dragons.
"Go!"
As the two Disciples played, they then pointed their brooms at each other, and the rolled-up leaves rapidly swept towards the other party.
However, these leaves collided in mid-air and then scattered into a shower of fallen leaves.
Seeing this, the two Disciples immediately burst into laughter.
He Xiuyuan watched this scene from afar and couldn't help but be influenced by their state of mind.
This Daoist temple was truly excellent.
He Xiuyuan smiled, then ascended the steps.
"Two Fellow Daoists..."
He Xiuyuan took a step forward, cupping his hands towards the two young Daoists in front of him and calling out.
The two young Daoists heard the sound and only then realized someone had come to the Daoist temple.
They instantly looked at He Xiuyuan at this moment, and seeing He Xiuyuan standing not far from them, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"Your Excellency is...?"
The two young Daoists stared intently at He Xiuyuan, their faces full of surprise and uncertainty.
They had Cultivated for many years, after all; although their Dao was not high, their six senses were far stronger than countless others.
Normally, if someone approached, they would instantly discover them; it was impossible for the other party to get so close without them noticing.
But now, this person could approach them without being discovered, meaning this person was by no means an ordinary individual.
"I am He Xiuyuan, merely a Loose Cultivator. I accidentally heard the name of Biluo Temple and came here to pay my respects."
He Xiuyuan heard this, cupped his hands, and said.
The two young Daoists looked surprised upon hearing this.
"You Cultivated alone?"
The two said, while scrutinizing He Xiuyuan up and down.
Indeed, the Qi felt on He Xiuyuan's body had no malevolence.
It seemed this person had not accumulated any evil karma in the Mortal Realm before.
Thus, he could be considered a clean person.
Furthermore, this person's facial features and eyes were also open and honest.
Hmm, he should be of the Righteous Path.
The two young Daoists, using the discernment techniques taught by their Master, quickly applied them to He Xiuyuan and then secretly nodded.
"Yes, I have always Cultivated alone, so after hearing the name of Biluo Temple, I specifically came to visit, hoping to find Fellow Daoists and exchange a few words."
He Xiuyuan was also extremely humble upon hearing this.
The two young Daoists exchanged glances, and the young Daoist on the right nodded to He Xiuyuan with great emotion, "In that case, you are truly not easy."
"To Cultivate alone and reach this level of Dao, you must have spent a lot of effort, many years, and endured many hardships, right?"
Although they didn't know He Xiuyuan's level of Dao, based on what the two young Daoists understood.
It was already extremely difficult for them, who had Master's guidance, to Cultivate daily. For Cultivators who had no one to guide them, achieving success in Cultivation was even more difficult.
Typically, even if they were given Cultivation methods, they wouldn't be able to Cultivate successfully.
For He Xiuyuan to have gained some Dao now, it was already very impressive.
Thinking of this, the two young Daoists looked at He Xiuyuan with a hint of emotion.
He Xiuyuan thought for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded again.
To be honest, He Xiuyuan didn't feel that his journey of Cultivation had been particularly arduous; it seemed... everything had gone quite smoothly.
It was just that it indeed took a lot of effort to find like-minded individuals, and this point was truly not easy.
"Since Fellow Daoist has arrived here, you are fated with our Biluo Temple. Please follow me inside."
"Senior Brother Fang Yun, go and report to Master."
Once the two young Daoists knew He Xiuyuan was a fellow Cultivator, they immediately invited He Xiuyuan into the Daoist temple.
The other person immediately went to find Master.
He Xiuyuan followed one of them, and before entering the main gate, he couldn't help but look up at the three large characters for Biluo Temple above.
Then He Xiuyuan's mouth curved into a smile, and he stepped into the main gate.
