Seeing this person, Xu Zhuang was slightly surprised.
Isn't it possible that the person who climbed to the top of the pavilion was Pang Ban, the owner of the Melancholy Pavilion, whom Xu Zhuang had just done business with today?
Pang Ban looked around and was a little surprised to see Xu Zhuang sitting there. He nodded lightly and said hello, then found an empty table and sat down alone.
When Cen Fenghong saw Pang Ban greeting Xu Zhuang, he asked curiously: "Do you know this person, fellow Taoist?"
"I just took a picture of him today, so I don't think we are acquaintances." Xu Zhuang responded: "Fellow Taoist, it seems that you know this person?"
"That's it." Cen Fenghong nodded and said: "I stayed in Weiyun Immortal City for a long time before I got to know him a little bit. I heard that he ascended from the stars outside the sky and was appreciated and recruited by many forces, but he didn't know anything about it. Shou, he insists on going out on his own, and is quite famous in Weiyun Immortal City."
Although Xu Zhuang realized that this person was extraordinary, he never thought that he would have such a legendary experience.
The two did not deliberately avoid any taboos in their conversation. When Pang Ban heard the discussion, his face did not change and he closed his eyes to rest.
On the other hand, the two people at the other table exchanged eyes for a moment, then suddenly stood up and walked straight towards the three people in Xuzhuang. The leader showed a smile on his face, raised his hands and asked, "Excuse me, fellow Taoists."
He glanced at Xu Zhuang and asked, "Just now, my two senior fellow apprentices accidentally overheard some exchanges. Is this Taoist Fellow Xu Zhuang?"
Xu Zhuang raised his brows slightly. He was somewhat famous in the Xuanhuang world, but it didn't seem like it would spread to other worlds? Why do neither Cen Fenghong nor these two people really seem to have heard of his reputation?
No way. Is there any other famous genius with the same name as him?
After thinking for a few times, Xu Zhuang cupped his hands and said, "Exactly, you two?"
"It's true that my fellow Taoist is in person. I have admired his name for a long time." The leader smiled slightly and responded: "I am Changhua. This is my junior brother Changxin. My senior brother studied under the master Qu Zhao of Dinghu Mountain."
"It turns out to be a real disciple of Dinghu Mountain." Xu Zhuang said, "Fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
Xu Zhuang didn't know anything about the Guangyuan world. Dinghushan was one of the two Taoist sects under the sect of Guangcheng Zhenjun. The other one was called Mizhen Tao. The two Taoist sects were also the two major sects in the Guangyuan world.
As for the Guangcheng Taoist Temple, it does not recruit any disciples. It is just a place where Guangcheng Zhenjun practices and preaches.
Brothers Chang Hua and Chang Xin were not polite and sat down together. Chang Hua was a well-rounded person and took the initiative to greet Cen Fenghong: "Fellow Taoist, we look very familiar. Isn't this the first time we have met?"
Cen Fenghong smiled and said: "Cen has been traveling to Guangyuan for some years. Fortunately, he was invited by a fellow Taoist to listen to the sermon at the Guangcheng Taoist Temple. Maybe he met the fellow Taoist in person at that time."
"I see." Changhua responded suddenly, and then said: "Zhenjun has become very popular in recent years, and he will give lectures soon. If you don't give up, Chang can invite a few fellow Taoists to listen to the lectures."
When Guangcheng Zhenjun preaches, it is not only his disciples who can listen to his sermons. On the contrary, anyone can go as long as they have the chance. When they are interested, they often give advice to the younger generations. Therefore, many masters have listened to him over the years. His teachings are one of the reasons why Guangcheng Zhenjun is highly respected.
Perhaps influenced by this, most of the Taoist disciples of Guangcheng Zhenjun’s sect are well-connected people, and they always invite Taoist friends to the Guangcheng Taoist temple to listen to sermons. After hearing this, Cen Fenghong immediately agreed happily: "Cen, last time I have benefited a lot from listening to the sermon, and if I have this opportunity again, there is no reason to reject it.”
He also asked Zhong Shenxiu and Xu Zhuang: "Brother Zhong, fellow Taoist Xu, are you interested?"
Zhong Shenxiu didn't think about it for too long before he agreed. There was nothing important about Xu Zhuang, so there was no reason not to agree.
Seeing that the three people agreed, Changhua was also very happy. At this time, Changxin asked Zhong Shenxiu: "I haven't asked yet, what is the name of this fellow Taoist?"
Zhong Shenxiu smiled faintly and responded: "I am Zhong Shenxiu, practicing in the Xuanhuang Realm."
"What?" As soon as these words came out, Changhua and Changxin both said in surprise: "It's actually fellow Taoist in front of you!"
Changxin immediately said: "Today we came to Xianzhai and we were lucky enough to meet two...three fellow Taoists. It was really a worthwhile trip."
Compared with Chang Hua, Chang Xin was a bit more straightforward and almost lost his voice. Fortunately, Cen Fenghong didn't take it seriously and just smiled lightly.
Seeing their reactions, Zhong Shenxiu was a little surprised and asked, "Do you two fellow Taoists know Zhong?"
Chang Huayan smiled at Yan Yan and responded: "My Taoist friend doesn't know that my master is a close friend of Guizong Xuanying, and they often communicate with each other. After a trip to the Xuanhuang Realm, he often used the name of his Taoist friend to encourage him." Brothers in the sect."
Changxin interrupted: "Fellow Taoist is a well-known figure among my generation in Dinghu Mountain."
Zhong Shenxiu laughed and said: "How can the words of encouragement be taken seriously..."
"Isn't Zhenren Xuanying the same name as Zhenjun Taixuan?" Xu Zhuang couldn't help but be surprised as he listened.
According to rumors, the real people who have cultivated Yuanshen in Shangxuanzong all use the name Xuan. However, given the situation that all the real Yuanshen in the Xuanhuang Realm are like dragons, ordinary monks have no way of knowing the names of these masters.
However, with the return of True Lord Taixuan to Xuanhuang, many old events that have long been over have been mentioned again and again, so it is inevitable that there will be some impression of this name.
"Is Zhong Shenxiu famous in Dinghu Mountain for this reason?" Real person, do you know anything about it? What is the reason for this immortal banquet?"
"Fellow Taoist, please rest assured. Master Yu Bo is also a well-known senior master in our Guangyuan world. He has always been kind to others." Changhua responded with a smile: "I don't know the origin of the Immortal Banquet. I only know Master Yu Bo. Those who want to have a banquet are all true monastic geniuses.”
"It's embarrassing to say that my two brothers and I don't know if they can really climb to the sixth floor with their own abilities. They just asked for invitations to ascend the pavilion with the idea of getting to know fellow Taoists."
Having said that, both of them have good deeds and are obviously people who have formed a high-grade golden elixir. Perhaps they are just being self-effacing.
The people in Xuzhuang did not take it seriously, so they chatted casually for a while. During this period, another guest who was hidden in gauze came up. Changhua counted with his fingers and said: "It should be time." , it seems that the monastic genius who can climb here is indeed very rare."
At this moment, there was indeed a sound of footsteps on the stairs. Everyone followed the sound and saw a heroic young man wearing a five-flame crown, a vast divine court, and fluttering sleeves stepping up here.
Naturally, this person is not Zhenren Yu Bo. At least Xu Zhuang and others can easily feel that this person's meritorious deeds are at the level of Xuan Gong perfection, which is quite different from Zhong Shenxiu.
When Changhua and Changxin saw this person, they were immediately surprised. Changxin said, "Junior Brother Zhuo is here too."
Junior Brother Zhuo also saw the two of them, nodded slightly, and seemed to have no intention of sitting together. He walked towards the table. Changhua and Changxin hesitated for a while, and Changhua said to a few people: "Fellow Taoists , that’s my junior brother from Dinghu Mountain Sect, let’s go over and say hello.”
The two of them had nothing to do, so the two of them left hand in hand. At this time, Cen Fenghong suddenly sent a message: "Changhua and Changxin, there are eight true successors of their generation, and their reputations are about the same. However, since Zhuo Hansheng was promoted to After the true inheritance, it got another name, called Yi Zhuo Ba Xiu."
"This person is Zhuo Hansheng."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang said, "So, this person is far above the others?"
Cen Fenghong said: "This person has only been cultivating Taoism for three hundred years, and he has already reached the third level." He turned to Zhong Shenxiu and said: "As far as advancement is concerned, he is almost the same as Brother Zhong."
Zhong Shenxiu smiled faintly and said: "At this age and with meritorious deeds, doesn't it meet the requirements of the spiritual root covenant?"
Cen Fenghong responded: "Yes, and this person is very famous. There is no reason why he will be forgotten. Therefore, when we fight in the future, it may be possible to face this person."
Xu Zhuang's eyebrows moved slightly and he asked: "As far as I know, the two real people should have invited six helpers. How could fellow Taoists know that this person is not on my side?"
Cen Fenghong laughed loudly and said: "I'm not afraid that fellow Taoists will know that Master Ji De is an elder of the lay family here. He once told me frankly that among the six of us, except for two fellow Taoists, I am the only one who is worth relying on."
"But my own meritorious deeds are a little worse than those of Zhuo Hansheng." He shrugged, and the implication was obvious.
While several people were talking, they suddenly heard a golden bell ringing, and a goddess came up to the room. She greeted everyone and said softly: "dinner time has come. Dear guests, may the banquet be held?"
At this time, Pang Ban asked lightly: "Isn't Master Yu Bo hosting a banquet today?"
That day, the girl Yingying responded: "Go back to the guest officials. The real person will be here after the banquet to discuss mysteries with all the guest officials."
Pang Ban was silent for a moment and then replied: "That's fine."
Afterwards, no one asked any more questions, and the crowd acquiesced. The goddess owed a lot again. She rang the bell, and a line of goddesses with different styles came up the steps and delivered the dishes to each table. , and within a short time, all kinds of delicacies were served, and they all looked extraordinary.
A goddess stayed aside and explained softly: "If your guest needs a slave, please call for one at any time."
Cen Fenghong smiled and said: "Two fellow Taoists, please?"
Xu Zhuang came to Xianzhai with the intention of savoring the meal, so he did not refuse. He took a pair of jade chopsticks, looked around, and landed on an ice tray.
On the ice tray, there are a few jade seeds that are like lotus seeds. Among this kind of delicacies, the appearance is the simplest, but it has a refreshing fragrance that makes people feel happy.
Xu Zhuang was not shy to ask questions about things he didn't know about, and asked: "What is this?"
The goddess responded: "These are Tianshan Snow Lotus seeds. In the entire Guangyuan world, they can only grow on the top of Tianshan Mountain, which is as high as the Weiyun Immortal City. They are rare and unusual. After being carefully prepared and then watered with fine wine, they can be grown." Seeing the snow lotus in full bloom..."
She took a pot of wine and poured it on the lotus seeds, and she saw a pure white snow lotus blooming slowly. She changed another pot of wine and poured out a yellow snow lotus. She poured it on the ice tray one after another. The various colors compete with each other and instantly overwhelm the other colors on the table.
"Watered with different kinds of wine, the blooming snow lotus will have different flavors." The goddess smiled and said: "Please use it, my guest."
"This dish is interesting." Several people in Xu Zhuang moved their chopsticks and tasted the snow lotus. It was indeed fragrant and delicious, refreshing, and they all praised it. They also asked the goddess to introduce the dishes one by one and taste them one by one.
There were only eight people in the hall, sitting at four tables. Some of them, such as Xu Zhuang and the other three, were not reluctant to taste, some of them just moved the jade chopsticks and then stopped, and some of them were completely motionless like the man covered with gauze and hats.
After only a cup of tea, a breeze blew through the window and swept through the hall. Suddenly, a long-bearded Taoist wearing a fishtail crown and Bagua robe appeared on top of a building.
Xu Zhuang's expression froze slightly. This didn't seem to be a brilliant escape technique, but it was clearly a sign of the Yuan Shen who dispersed to become Qi and gathered to form. This person was obviously the authentic enlightened person, the real Yuan Shen.
Naturally, there will be no one else coming at this time except the master of this place, Master Yu Bo.
Even if the visitor is a guest, one must still show respect to Master Yuan Shen. As soon as Master Yu Bo appeared, everyone in the hall took a look at him and then stood up and said politely: "Junior, you have seen the Master before."
"Everyone, please take a seat." Master Yu Bo gently stroked his beautiful beard and responded in a warm voice: "It is a blessing to have eight talents attending this banquet."
"This banquet is for discussing mysteries, and I will not be polite to you in official terms." He waved his sleeves, and a few stars gathered in the sky, and gradually condensed into a line of strange characters.
"Look, everyone, what does this word mean?" Master Yu Bo pointed upward and asked with a smile.
Changhua looked at the strange-shaped characters. It was obviously not the characters circulated in Guangyuan, nor was it a Taoist Dharma bag, but it seemed to have the flavor of the same origin and different streams. If he thought about it carefully, he seemed to be able to feel many meanings from it.
He hesitated for a moment and responded first: "This word seems to mean running or moving."
Zhuo Hansheng said lightly: "This is the meaning of Xingmai."
"Good." Master Yu Bo did not argue who was right and who was wrong. He just praised: "This strange writing is contained in a Taoist book that I accidentally obtained. It is very profound and is not a profound piece of Taoism." Talented people will definitely not be able to understand the meaning."
"What the two nephews said is not far from my understanding."
He wiped out the words again and then said: "I'm not going to deceive you, this Taoist book I got is only half of it, and there are still some defects in it. It's difficult to understand the mysteries in it. I can only figure it out word by word, so it's quite confusing. It’s worthless.”
"So I suddenly had a whim and invited all of you, such profound Taoist geniuses, to understand its meaning together. One is to build a good relationship with all the young geniuses. The two are not the same, to gather everyone's strange ideas, or There are possible ideas for understanding this book.”
Speaking of this, Master Yu Bo smiled slightly and said: "How about it, if you are interested, I will present the notes in this book word by word, and you can all take a look at it. Finally, we will take some small notes based on the progress. The prize will be used as a reward for understanding the Taoist scriptures."
Pang Ban said coldly: "I dare to ask the real person, if you have any different opinions?"
Master Yu Bo said calmly: "If you have any opinions, feel free to talk about them. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, it will all count."
"Okay." Pang Ban said: "I think the word that Master just presented means opening up."
