Li Changfeng followed the disciples of Shangxuanzong up to the sky pillars and clouds, and gradually he no longer knew how far away he was from the land of China, and the buildings in the sky gradually became fewer and fewer.
At this moment, the two of them were walking on the Tianzhu plank road. On the left side was the almost vertical Tianzhu mountain wall. Beyond the fence on the right side, there was a clear sky. Looking up and down, they were all pure white clouds.
A suspended stone island appeared at the end of the plank road, but there was a thin cloud road connecting it with the plank road. Li Changfeng followed the Shangxuan disciple and stepped onto it. An invisible force naturally rose up, supporting the two of them to move forward. Walk around the island.
With his head under the clouds, Li Changfeng's expression suddenly changed. Behind his ears came the low voice of the dragon splitting the clouds, telling him to be careful. Then he saw a green jade brave walking out of the bamboo forest, staring at Li Changfeng and mouthing human words. , asked: "Are you Li Changfeng? Why do you carry evil spirits in your body?"
Liyun poked its head out from Li Changfeng's collar. Li Changfeng felt that it had arched its body and said hurriedly: "This junior is it. He comes from Taisu..."
Before the words came out of his mouth, Pixiu's expression suddenly changed slightly. From the bamboo forest, another white one-horned Pegasus stepped out and shouted: "Senior Brother Yu, why don't you wait for me."
The Pixiu hurriedly said: "I know, just go to the bamboo forest." Then he passed the two people and ran towards the cloud road. The One-horned Pegasus didn't even look at the two people, and then chased away. .
Li Changfeng and the Shangxuan disciple looked at each other, and the Shangxuan disciple hurriedly said: "The two of you just now are spiritual beasts in the sect. Uncle Jade, that is, the Pixiu, is the mount of Uncle Zhong."
Li Changfeng said: "That's it..."
The disciple of Shangxuan hesitated for a while and then said: "Since Uncle Jade has given instructions, then brother Taoist, please go to the bamboo forest. I will no longer accompany you."
Hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded and went straight to the bamboo forest. Along a path, passing through a field of green and green, he saw an extremely clear pool of water. If there were no ripples in the water, it would almost look like There is no water in the pond, water lilies, jade lotus roots, aquatic plants, golden carps are all out of thin air, as if they have nothing to rely on.
Pieces of round stones form a path on the water, leading to a single-eaves hexagonal pavilion in the middle of the clear pool. A tall and handsome young Taoist with an immortal air is enjoying the scenery in it, but beside him is a man. A fairy named Chen Yuluoyan, with a face as beautiful as a painting, silently poured tea for him.
This person must be Zhong Shenxiu. As soon as he saw the young Taoist, Li Changfeng had an idea in his heart: Only such a person with such an immortal appearance can be worthy of such a great title and can be compared with the master.
Seeing Li Changfeng coming through the bamboo forest, Zhong Shenxiu's expression moved slightly, and a clear voice reached Li Changfeng's ears, saying: "My dear friend, this is Li Changfeng, please come to the pavilion to talk."
Li Changfeng walked through the stone path on the surface of the pool and came to the pavilion. He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "I have met my senior. Junior Li Changfeng came here to deliver a message on the orders of my master."
"You don't have to be so formal, little friend." Zhong Shenxiu took a cup of tea, put it in front of the table, smiled slightly and said, "Please sit down."
Li Changfeng suppressed his inexplicable nervousness, dressed in robes, and sat down in front of the stone table, but did not touch the tea cup. He respectfully took out the letter and jade box from his sleeves, handed them over with both hands, and said: "Junior, I have the order of the teacher. Don't dare to neglect your body..."
Zhong Shenxiu took the letter and the jade box and asked, "What is this jade box?"
Li Changfeng said respectfully: "Master only said that it is a gift to the seniors."
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head and smiled, placed the jade box on the table, took out the letter and swept it away.
At this time, the fairy was attracted by something other than pouring tea for the first time. Her eyes lit up and she looked at the letter in Zhong Shenxiu's hand.
"Brother Taoist personally initiated...I have always heard that Brother Taoist has a celestial appearance that transcends this world. After a while in the Dharma Source Cave, I will know that the rumors are true..."
Seeing this, the corners of the fairy's lips curled up, a pear dimple appeared on her face, and her eyes revealed a look of admiration for Zhong Shenxiu.
"...Brother Dao Dao, I have been waiting for you for a long time, so I would like to give you a small gift..."
The fairy cast her eyes on the jade box and wanted to reach for it. Zhong Shenxiu remained calm and called out lightly: "Junior Sister Lu."
Fairy Lu stopped her movements and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. However, she saw that Zhong Shenxiu had folded the letter and said eagerly: "Brother, I haven't finished reading it yet."
Zhong Shenxiu said calmly: "What is there to see?"
Fairy Lu wanted to ask more questions, but was stopped by Zhong Shenxiu's eyes. Zhong Shenxiu turned around and said to Li Changfeng, "I have received the letter. Please tell fellow Taoist Xu, just as he said."
Li Changfeng hurriedly responded, and Zhong Shenxiu added: "My little friend, please rest on my island for a few days. I'll call the boy to make arrangements."
Li Changfeng cupped his hands and responded: "This junior wants to rush back to Taisu Zhengzong to resume his life, so I won't disturb my seniors."
"That's fine." Zhong Shenxiu smiled slightly and added: "Although my master and I have known each other for a short time, we are friends who cherish each other. My little friend has come from a thousand miles away. I should express my feelings and reasons."
Regardless of Li Changfeng's rejection, Zhong Shenxiu stretched out his finger, a ray of light flew into the center of his eyebrows, and said: "This is a small Taoist technique I created. I don't value it very much. You don't have to reject it. Go ahead, my dear friend. The master’s life is with me, so I won’t force him to stay again.”
Li Changfeng had no choice but to bow respectfully and then turned around and left the pavilion.
After bidding farewell to Li Changfeng, Zhong Shenxiu made a show of getting up. Fairy Lu quickly asked: "Senior brother! You haven't told me yet, so is Xu Zhuang really here to declare a war with senior brother?"
Zhong Shenxiu asked: "What do you think, junior sister?"
Lu Xianzi said angrily: "We who practice Taoism are not just for bravery and ruthlessness. We want my little sister to have the final say. Of course it is not the case."
Zhong Shenxiu laughed and said, "It seems that junior sister thinks I will lose."
Fairy Lu said hurriedly: "My little sister, that's not what I meant... How could senior brother lose? Senior brother has never lost before."
Zhong Shenxiu shook his head and said, "Then why should junior sister worry?"
Fairy Lu said: "Since my senior brother refined the golden elixir, I have never seen him pay so much attention to an opponent. In order to wait for him to refine the gold and mercury, I have been delaying in refining the Nascent Soul..."
Zhong Shenxiu said: "Nascent Soul is just easy to get, so waiting for a while is nothing."
Fairy Lu said: "If senior brother refines into Nascent Soul, then Xu Zhuang may never be able to catch up with him."
Zhong Shenxiu smiled, did not answer, looked into the distance, and said secretly: That's not necessarily the case, Xu Zhuang, just let me see where you came from.
——
In the Yunmengze, drizzle is misty.
At this time, a man in the lake was boating and fishing, humming a folk tune in a low voice, feeling content and contented. Suddenly he seemed to feel something. He slightly raised his bamboo hat and looked into the distance.
I saw a ray of sword energy passing through the air. Although it was above the clouds, an invisible sharp energy rushed towards my face. It was so frightening that the spiritual birds and cranes scattered in all directions, and the fish in the lake did not dare to show their heads.
"Oops!" the fisherman exclaimed, and all the fish he had gathered with bait disappeared. When he looked up again, the sword light left a long cloud trail in the sky and had gone away.
"The ultimate quality...Xuzhuang has also touched this level. He is really amazingly talented. Maybe Hengce's choice was not a bad one..."
Not to mention the fisherman talking to himself.
But above the sky, Xu Zhuang's Sword Escape was flying rapidly, and the white ape he was holding was so frightened that he couldn't open his eyes. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly noticed that the strong wind around him suddenly stopped, and a sense of peace and tranquility came to his heart.
The white ape opened his eyes and saw that the clouds and mist in front of him dispersed, just like seeing the moon behind a screen, and a cloud palace appeared in front of him, with a look of shock in his eyes.
There was no boy waiting today. When Xu Zhuang saw the gate of Yun Palace open, his expression changed, and he led Bai Yuan into the Yun Palace. He saw Dao Chen, the old god, sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, and Sun Suzhen, who was dressed in rich clothes. Stand aside.
There is a young man lying on the ground in the white mist. His eyes are closed, his facial features are calm, and his hair does not move at all. It is obvious that he has been detained.
Xu Zhuang took two steps forward, bowed his hands and said, "Brother Headmaster, Senior Brother Sun."
Although he came here with White Ape, who can now be called Yuan Hao, seeing this situation, he knew that Master Chen and Sun Suzhen had something else to say, so he stood with his hands down and became silent.
After Yuan Hao sought enlightenment from Xu Zhuang, he was taught by Xu Zhuang for a period of time in the mountains. Now he also understands some etiquette. He did not dare to speak out and stood obediently behind Xu Zhuang.
Master Daochen smiled and said: "Junior Brother Xu, since you are here, I might as well let you know."
But he pointed at the young man on the ground: "Before sunrise today, this boy broke through the boundary above my Taisu cave. He ran into my hands and was detained by me."
Um? Xu Zhuang raised his brows, and felt a strange feeling for a moment. His eyes fell on the young man on the ground, and an invisible light shone darkly. A scene that surprised Xu Zhuang happened.
I saw five colors and five qi flowing above the young man's zenith, and there seemed to be signs of forming auspicious clouds. A vigorous trend.
Not to mention that Xu Zhuang was deep in thought, Sun Suzhen suddenly flicked his finger, and a dim light fell from his fingertips onto the young man on the ground. He saw ripples on the young man's body like water dripping into a lake, and the texture of the internal and external acupoints, meridians and meridians all over his body. It appeared clearly in the aura.
Sun Suzhen muttered: "The body structure of this child is very similar to that of a human from my Xuanhuang Realm. I think he must be from a human race from a certain world or star in the nearby realm."
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "Looking at his inner palace, he has a lot of Qi training skills, and he seems to be in the Xuanmen way... If there is nothing wrong with him, he might as well let him go."
Sun Suzhen said: "Yes, although our Xuanhuang Realm is not a prosperous and prosperous world where all directions meet, there is no need to taboo the comings and goings of people from other realms."
The two discussed a few words, and Sun Suzhen said: "Who is this son from? He just practices Qi, how does he travel through the void, and what is his purpose... Brother Master, why don't you go to his detention and ask questions?" That’s it.”
Xu Zhuang believed that Tai Su was an authentic sect and had a Taoist spirit. Even if he wanted to let this person go, there was no need to worry that he would know that he had been detained by Tai Su. If his origins were innocent, he would be compensated for his detention. No problem, no opinion.
Master Daochen just sat on the cloud bed and allowed the two true disciples to discuss and make decisions. Seeing that the two of them had agreed on the same idea, they didn't make any comments. They just stretched out their hands and removed the restraints on the young man.
The young man's eyes closed for a moment, then he opened them, but he didn't feel panic. He looked at the situation around him calmly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared.
This is the old god Dao Chen saying: "Little friend, you have heard what Junior Brother Sun asked. I wonder if you would mind clarifying his doubts?"
It turned out that when Xu Zhuang was talking to Sun Suzhen, Master Daochen had quietly unlocked the young man's ear consciousness and told him to be prepared.
The young man calmly stood up, cupped his hands, and said in a loud voice: "Young boy Zhou Jun..."
His language is from the same family as the Shenzhou language, but the accent is slightly different, so the people in Xu Zhuang would not be able to tell them apart.
It turns out that the young man named Zhou Jun grew up in the ordinary world. According to Zhou Jun, the 'world' he grew up in was just a secular world, and there was no talk of spiritual practice. There were only some people who practiced martial arts and practiced to the deepest level. , can't compare to practicing Qi cultivation.
But Zhou Jun obtained the fairy mansion left by a cultivator of the "Five Elements Sanren". The Five Elements Sanren claimed to be a monk of the Yuan Shen of the Xuanhuang Realm. He accidentally sat in the mortal world, leaving behind a talisman that could be passed down and returned to the Xuanhuang Realm. .
Zhou Jun therefore embarked on the path of spiritual practice. He suffered from the hardships of the secular world and the hardships of practice, so he made up his mind and used the talisman to practice in the Xuanhuang Realm.
These words made Xu Zhuang and Sun Suzhen frown. When this person finished speaking, Sun Suzhen said with a smile but not a smile: "So that's it, you are a lucky person."
"But... I have never heard of a Five Elements Sanshi in the Xuanhuang Realm who actually cultivated Yuanshen."
Zhou Jun swallowed when he heard this, but unexpectedly Master Daochen suddenly said: "It turns out to be the Sanren of Five Elements. This person has been silent for a long time, and he passed away while traveling in the outer world."
Xu Zhuang and Sun Suzhen were startled, but then they heard Master Dao Chen sigh: "But it is a good thing that his descendant has returned to Xuanhuang now."
After saying that, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes fell on Zhou Jun again: "Zhou Jun, you were interrogated by us when you woke up, but you don't know who we are!"
"Listen carefully, I am the true sect of Shenzhou, the headmaster of Taisu Sect. You are born in a poor family and grew up in the mortal world. You are destined to be immortal because you are blessed. You can practice Qi successfully. You are qualified and can let go. , being able to pick it up, and being able to travel through the void to the black and yellow world to seek enlightenment is a sign of your roots. If you suffer the pain of my detention and interrogation, I will allow you three options for compensation."
"One, you can choose a volume of Taoist techniques collected by Tai Su, other than secret teachings."
"Two, you can choose any of the magical artifacts collected by Tai Su."
"Three! I will give you the qualification to join Taisu Zongzong."
After finishing speaking, Master Daochen closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if he didn't intend to say anything more, leaving Zhou Jun to choose.
Xu Zhuang and Sun Suzhen had different expressions, but seeing Master Daochen's attitude, they remained silent.
Zhou Jun seemed to be shocked by the fortune that fell from the sky. It took him a while to calm down, but he made a determined look and said with his hands in hand: "Disciple Zhou Jun, I am willing to offer the five elements of Sanren Taoism and worship the Taisu Zhengsong."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhuang suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, and Sun Suzhen couldn't help but laugh.
Master Daochen shook his head and said with a smile: "Boy, do you think I am coveting your Taoist skills?"
Master Daochen restrained his smile and said solemnly: "I am an authentic sect, passed down from generation to generation, with high-grade golden elixirs, and masters of Yuanshen appear in large numbers. If my disciples have any adventures, they must hand it over! If any opportunity comes to casual cultivators, they must take advantage of it!" How can the heart of the sect be united? How can the disciples of the sect have the foundation and heart to practice Taoism?"
"Listen carefully, I will grant you the Taoist skills and magic weapons you want. I, Taisu, will never break my promise. If you really want to join Taisu Zongzong, what I grant you is just a qualification. You But it hasn’t passed the test yet!”
These words made Zhou Jun blush, and a bright light came into his eyes. Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with his precautions, it was precisely because of this that he became more Xuanmen's authentic demeanor. Heartbroken.
This is what he yearns for. Zhou Jun made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Master Qi, this disciple still chooses the third option."
Master Daochen smiled and said leisurely: "Good." Then he called a boy and said: "Tong'er, take this person to the virtual form. Let's start with the Taoist boy!"
Xu Zhuang's eyes moved, but he cupped his hands and said: "Brother, my new disciple has not been enlightened for a long time, so why not send him to Xuxingguan to practice together with Zhou Jun?"
Yuan Hao never thought that he would be mentioned suddenly. He raised his head suddenly and saw Master Dao Chen glance at him and said lightly: "Son."
Seeing Master Daochen's approval, Xu Zhuang looked back and said, "Go ahead. When you get to the temple, you must abide by the etiquette and practice well."
Yuan Hao bowed his hands and said, "Yes." Then he saw the boy leading the young man named Zhou Jun and leading the two of them outside the palace.
As soon as they came out of the Cloud Palace, the two of them relaxed at the same time. Yuan Haoyuan stretched out his arms and scratched his head, but Zhou Jun secretly said: "Wuxing boy, does the Wuxing Sanren you asked me to talk about really exist?"
Zhou Jun did not expect that what sounded in his mind was: "I don't know." The Five Elements boy said lightly, "The Five Elements are the basis of matter in Taoist theory, and the Five Elements Avenue is inclusive of all things, the heavens and the world. , there are countless practitioners. There are not tens of millions, but millions of real people in the Five Elements and Five Elements Real People. If there is no such thing in this world, then you are unlucky and have lost your luck, but you can't blame me for the excuse I made up for you."
Zhou Jun choked immediately.
In the Cloud Palace, Sun Suzhen said doubtfully: "Brother, what Zhou Jun said seems to be detailed, but it seems to be both true and false. Why..."
Xu Zhuang asked: "Brother, Master, can you really recognize the Five Elements Sanren?"
Master Daochen smiled slightly, but said: "What difference does it make if it is true or false? It is true that this person has the desire to seek the Tao, and he has a predestined relationship with me. This is enough."
