Hideous, drifting, far away, wandering, together with the main island of Duxian, form the general framework of the Duxian Islands, plus dozens of scattered small islands within a hundred miles, forming the entire exile in the depths of the sea. land.
When You Mengchang arrived near Gouqie Island and smelled the presence of people, he parted ways with Taoist Zhang and went to the island first to look for the high-quality materials he needed.
Having a fourth-level ghost for You Mengchang is equivalent to having an extra life. Even if he encounters a fifth-level master, he can easily escape.
Zhang Wenfeng knew that the old man Mengmei didn't want to listen to his preaching, so he was happy to relax and set foot on the island alone to find a place where Yin Qi and evil spirits gathered. At night, he set up a simple altar and chanted sutras to relieve the lingering Yin Qi, evil spirits, residual souls and other things. , accumulate merit and temper jade bones.
As for the instinctive malice deep in the bones of the mortals of the Duxian Islands, he could not resolve it.
More than twenty years later, through various dynasty forces in the Eastern Continent using evil to control evil, confiscating evil practices, and training local monks to manage the local people, the situation has been greatly improved compared to before. At least there will be no foreign monks walking on the road. Local monks gathered to attack.
At present, in the Duxian Islands, not only the monks from the Eastern Continent who are close to the water, but also the monks from the Western Continent and the Nanyuan Continent come to practice. There are many people and mixed, and the longer they stay, the negative emotions of the monks will tend to explode.
The situation in the Duxian Islands is getting complicated again, and the wild nights are beginning to become dangerous and bloody.
Zhang Wenfeng knew in his heart that the unique evil spirit of this place affected the monk's mind, amplifying the flaws in his state of mind and inflating his desires beyond control.
The hurdles on the road of spiritual practice are all brought by the monks themselves. If they can overcome them, they can continue to move forward. If they cannot overcome them, they will never recover.
In the words of You Mengchang, "It conforms to the ruthless laws of heaven!"
He wore a bamboo hat and recited sutras while walking in the wild. Monks spied on him at night, but no one had any idea about him.
After staying on Gouqie Island for more than a month, I witnessed countless fights and killings during the day and night. Zhang Guanzhu ignored them and went his own way to find the Yin Di Sha place. He performed a ritual ceremony almost every night.
】
Once, two groups of monks were fighting in the wild. The random talismans and spells disturbed the ghosts and evil spirits gathered by Zhang Guanzhu while chanting sutras. Zhang Guanzhu chased seven or eight monks with a peach wood stick until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they all fell to the muddy ground in the ravine. , with nowhere to escape, they were forced to stand in a line, and they were given money to burn all night long, and the two groups of monks were not allowed to leave until the sun rose.
On the third day after flying to Piaoling Island, a group of monks approached the famous Taoist priest wearing a hat and chanting sutras.
"Master, I have finally found you. Disciple Xuan An wishes you well!"
The leader was Zhang Xuanan, who was dressed in black and handsome, and fell to the ground to pay homage.
"Lingbao Temple Tong Guan pays homage to the elder."
"Xuanyun Temple Gutang pays homage to Zhang Guanzhu."
The other four men and women came forward happily and signed up to meet them one by one.
Zhang Wenfeng raised his right hand to let a group of monks stand up. They were all juniors who had been taught by him in swordsmanship. He asked a few words casually, then looked at the disciple whom he had not seen for several years, and said with a smile: "Zhang Xuan'an, are you going to follow the master in front of you and behind the horse?" In your footsteps, you stay up late every day in the wild chanting sutras to liberate the evil spirits. Are you here to help me, or do you have other things to do?"
He could tell at a glance that Zhang Xuanan was riddled with evil spirits and had experienced many bloody fights, but the situation was not bad and he did not indulge in murderous intentions, unlike Shui Qingru who deliberately put himself in danger.
Zhang Xuanan's dark and lean face showed a look of self-mockery, and he evaded: "My apprentice is mediocre in talent in reciting sutras, and he is also careless. I am afraid that he will not be able to serve the master well. How about I trick Brother Zhuang into doing something for you? He said this several times. , I miss Master very much and want to listen to your face-to-face teachings day and night."
With his shrewdness, he could not detect the ridicule from his master in person.
Zhang Wenfeng laughed and said, "Just wait for Zhuang Yu to deal with your kid." He then asked, "What's going on with your senior sister?"
Several other people knew that Master Zhang Guanzhu was not very arrogant. When they saw that Master and Disciple had a private conversation, they quickly bowed and stepped aside, leaving the place for Master Zhang Guanzhu and Disciple to talk.
"Senior Sister left the mortal world last spring, and Senior Sister Yan came out of seclusion the summer before last year and successfully advanced to the Golden Core Realm."
Zhang Xuan'an briefly explained the sect's situation: "The mountain chief is still on the road to escape from the mortal world and has no intention of stopping. Uncle Zhao Zhu'er is still cultivating in Wenzhai Academy in the Western Continent, and the Earth Protector has traveled to Nanyuan Continent."
Zhang Wenfeng silently calculated. The mountain chief joked that it would take ten years to escape from the ordinary world. Unknowingly, it has already been eight years. He hoped that it would go smoothly. He asked with a smile: "How do you feel about returning to your hometown? I heard that you are going to leave the world." The enemies who beat you back then all fell into the mud ditch and slept with their daughters to take revenge?"
He heard the mountain chief say it as a joke. The mountain chief had used his magical power of listening to people's hearts many times to examine Gou Wa's character, so he never had a good impression of Gou Wa at that time.
Zhang Xuan'an chuckled and denied: "Master, please don't slander your apprentice's innocence. How could your apprentice argue with a few old country men about trivial matters back then? Hey, you don't know, when I returned to Wandering Island, almost all my enemies from back then were dead, and the remaining The next few are so old that they have a hard time walking, and many of those little girls with runny noses are now grandmothers. They are so boring. If you hadn't brought me out, Master, I would have starved to death in that hellish place."
He has undergone a radical change, and when he looks back at the people and things from back then, he just feels dull.
Immortals and mortals are like two worlds apart. They are so different.
He rolled through the muddy ditch and smelly water, and then he began to appreciate the difficulty of practicing today.
After chatting, Zhang Xuanan said again: "Master Fayuan asked you to go to Duxian City at your convenience. He invited you to drink tea. Starting from the year before last, monks from the Vast Continent and Tiangan Continent often walked to the Duxian Islands to go to the Eastern Continent. , some guys have a bad temper and regard the monks from the Eastern and Western Continent as nothing. He said that if you encounter them, there is no need to tolerate them."
Zhang Wenfeng heard the meaning and asked, "Has Master Fayuan suffered losses at their hands?"
Fa Yuan was very capable and rarely fought against others. Even Fa Yuan asked him not to be patient, which showed how arrogant and domineering those foreign monks were.
When Lu Yuanyuan and the magic weapon monk came from the vast continent, they showed a lack of moral character and hit wherever they went. If Fa Yuan hadn't been traveling with him for more than half a year, who knows how much trouble would have caused?
"I don't know the specifics. I heard that Master Fayuan spent half a year in seclusion last year and only occasionally went out in the spring of this year."
Zhang Xuanan replied to the best of his knowledge and was impartial.
Zhang Wenfeng nodded: "I understand."
His temperament is that he does not cause trouble and is not afraid of trouble. If he is provoked, those guys will be unable to eat and walk around.
The two chatted about other things for a while, and Zhang Wenfeng sent his apprentice and everyone away. He did not need his apprentice to follow him.
It was rare to feel so free and at ease, and he wanted to experience walking alone.
You Mengchang came out of nowhere, and there was no shadow under the bright sun. He floated on the ground, fanned the fire, and said: "Now there are two guys with eyes higher than the sky. They came from the vast continent and used words to force them on Wandering Island. The monks are competing against each other. Taoist Zhang, why don't you go and beat the shit out of them? You can't see the faces of those guys, and you don't understand the principle of treating guests as they please."
Zhang Wenfeng glanced at the old man and suspected that the old man had taken the wrong medicine. Why would he be interested in such a thing? He shook his head and refused: "I don't have time to deal with them. I found a dark place today and I have to spend a few days doing things."
