Yu Du had to be received by Master Daochen and stayed in the Cloud Palace for half an hour before leaving.
After there were only two people left in the main hall, Master Mingjing relaxed and stretched his waist Yangyang. Master Daochen smiled and said: "We are going to Yuxiao. I'd like to trouble Uncle Mingjing."
"What kind of hard work is this?" Master Mingjing had a close personal relationship with Master Dao Chen. There were no outsiders around, so he accepted the honorific title, waved his hand and said, "However, although Empress Yuxiao agreed, the manpower sent by Yuxiao Sect was somewhat lacking. It’s perfunctory.”
"Uncle Master doesn't know." Dao Chen said with a smile: "I originally thought that Yuxiao would not actually be involved in this matter. After all, the disaster thousands of years ago almost interrupted Yuxiao's prosperity and caused hundreds of years of There has been no success, and now the Yuxiao Sect’s strength is indeed slightly lacking.”
Master Ming Jing touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "I seem to have some impression..."
Before Master Daochen succeeded to the throne, Master Mingjing had been absent from the sect for a long time. In fact, he had only accidentally heard about these major events in recent years. There seemed to be a lot of turmoil in the Yuxiao Sect.
This catastrophe not only caused the Yuxiao Sect to fall into a state of inactivity for hundreds of years, but even damaged the real Yuanshen. However, the Yuxiao Sect kept it secret and did not leak any information, so that the world knew nothing about it.
Since then, the Yuxiao Sect disappeared for a period of time. It was not until Yu Du walked to the Divine Continent and took on the name of the true successor of the Yuxiao Sect on his own that he gradually found peace.
Master Ming Jing was somewhat interested, but after all, the situation had changed. Master Dao Chen did not say much more. He just said: "Although the number of people is smaller, it is enough to be able to guard the door for me, Tai Su, for a while."
"Oh?" Master Ming Jing asked doubtfully, "Are these manpower too weak?"
Master Daochen smiled and said: "Uncle Master Mingjing is worrying too much. I know that Yu Du has been taught by Master Yuan Shen and recognized by the Yuxiao magic weapon. Once he has mastered Yuan Shen, he will follow him..."
"The person who is solely responsible for the reputation of being the True Successor of the Yuxiao Sect should not be taken lightly."
"Oh." Master Ming Jing said with a smile: "How does it compare with your precious junior brother?"
"Haha." Master Dao Chen laughed loudly. Just as he was about to say something, his eyebrows suddenly moved and he thought for a moment and called out: "Zhi Xing!"
Zhixing Tongzi had already sent Yu Du out of the Cloud Palace, and returned to wait in front of the palace gate. He came in in response to the call and said, "Tong'er has seen the real person."
Master Daochen nodded slightly and said slowly: "At this time tomorrow, wait outside the Cloud Palace."
The boy Zhixing was no longer surprised by what he had learned before. He kowtowed in agreement and then slowly exited the hall.
——
The moon sets and the sun rises. According to the schedule of the Tianxiang Palace, there should be drizzle in the morning and clear skies in the afternoon.
Then the rain clouds gathered together, and above the gate of Taisu Mountain, it was rare to see a cloudy sky. A dragon escaped in the sky, and he suddenly felt peaceful and comfortable. He let out a long groan and expressed his joy.
"Hey, isn't this the dragon under Uncle Xu's seat?" Nangong Ji stepped in front of the hall, raised his head and looked up, and said in surprise.
"Oh?" A faint voice came from behind him, "This lazy guy has entered the country so quickly. Junior Brother Xu really doesn't hesitate to train him."
Nangong Ji looked happy, turned around and saw Sun Suzhen slowly walking out with his hands behind his back. He hurriedly saluted and said, "Congratulations, Master, for coming out of seclusion."
Sun Suzhen nodded slightly, looked in the air, and saw the splitting clouds flying toward Chongyun Peak, but there was a rainbow light rising straight into the sky, with a smile on his face, and said to himself: "This is Junior Brother Xu, It seems it’s not too late.”
Twenty or thirty years ago, Sun Suzhen and Bu Jianshi were summoned by Master Daochen, who asked them to live a good life and practice in order to cope with Nanzhan's plan, so they went into seclusion one after another. Until six or seven years ago, the two of them refined themselves into Nascent Soul. Now, I just came out of seclusion, just to consolidate my cultivation.
"Junior Brother Xu, it has been such a beautiful scenery over the past hundred years." Sun Suzhen smiled lightly. Ever since he accompanied Xu Zhuang to the Fayuan Cave, he knew that Xu Zhuang was extraordinary. Now it seems that he has indeed arrived first and rushed to the front. .
"However, the road is long, but it is not divided into moments." Sun Suzhen thought leisurely: "Junior brother, please don't slack off."
…
Huiyun entered the country very quickly, but this was not because Xu Zhuang was not stingy in his training, but because the health-preserving elixir was so effective. Although it was only used by spiritual beasts, its value was obviously very high, and it really made people feel the sincerity of their friendship.
After leaving Taixuanzong, Xu Zhuang made another trip to the Jianxia Mountains. Unfortunately, Dan Yangsheng seemed to be no longer there, and Xu Zhuang had no intention of visiting the Danxia Mountain Gate again, so he came up empty. , and went straight back to the door.
After ten years away from the mountain, Xu Zhuang thought about it briefly and asked Liyun to return to the mountain gate alone. Then he went to Yun Palace alone. When he came outside the palace gate, he saw that the boy Zhixing was already waiting here.
Xu Zhuang lowered his light and met with Zhixing Tongzi. He led him into the main hall. He saw that in addition to Master Daochen, Master Mingjing was also present. Xu Zhuang was slightly surprised. He saw the two Masters one by one. .
Master Ming Jing nodded slightly, but Master Daochen responded with a smile: "Sure enough, Junior Brother came at the right time within ten years."
Master Daochen had a big plan coming soon, and Xu Zhuang had to inform him before he left. At that time, Master Daochen smiled and said that he would give Xu Zhuang ten years. He expected that there would be no big changes when he went to Taixuanzong, so he just said this Yes.
Now it seems that Master Daochen had deep meaning in his words. Xu Zhuang shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, the head master is really good at predicting things."
Master Daochen laughed and asked: "I, Taisu Zhengzong, have my own innate magic, do you want to learn it, junior brother?"
In fact, logically speaking, innate magic is not included in the ordinary true teachings, but Xu Zhuang is not an ordinary disciple after all. Master Daochen also believes that he can understand it. If he is willing to learn, Master Daochen will not be stingy.
Xu Zhuang did not hesitate and said casually: "My little brother has learned a lot and doesn't want to add more lessons. If one day he can achieve something, it's not too late to learn the innate arts again."
In fact, he also asked Wei Tu privately if he could teach him innate magic. Wei Tu was naturally willing to teach him, but at the same time he also said: Yuanying monks are different from Yuanshen Daoist, who can understand the Tao and connect with the world. Even if they have extraordinary understanding, they can understand the magic. If you rely too much on numbers, the advantages may not outweigh the disadvantages.
Therefore, after Xu Zhuang carefully thought about it, he did not rush to learn the method of magic and calculation. He had never stopped entering the realm, and now he has the potential to reach perfection. He has reached the third level of refinement, and the Nascent Soul is just a last resort, eliminating the waste. Seeking truth and pursuing the path of the soul is his top priority.
Master Daochen nodded slightly, and Xu Zhuang's entry into the country was naturally unable to escape his discernment. He smiled and said, "But it's because of my brother that I delayed my junior brother's practice."
Xu Zhuang hurriedly saluted and said, "Senior brother, you are serious."
Master Daochen waved his hand slightly and said: "Junior brother, you are ready. Today, I will dispel the fog in the South China Sea and open the Nanzhan Baozhou!"
Xu Zhuang's face became solemn and he responded: "I can accept senior brother's decree at any time."
"Okay." Master Daochen said in a deep voice: "Time waits for us not. Today, Shangzhen Palace will issue a decree, asking eight elders to hold my talismans, run around Nanzhan Baozhou all night, and set up a large formation."
"Tomorrow when the purple energy comes from the east, I will personally lead the formation to disperse the fog in the South China Sea, and my Taisu Zhengzong disciples will go in to collect herbs!"
Xu Zhuang did not expect that Master Daochen's decision would come so quickly, so he hurriedly handed it over.
Daochen Daochen didn't say any more nonsense, and he looked up into the air again. A barbaric continent hidden in the mist showed its shape, and then eight flickering light points lit up one after another, surrounding the entire continent.
"Although Baozhou in the south is not as vast as Dongsheng, it is a continent after all." Master Dao Chen said: "According to my calculations, to surround this continent, eight poles and flags need to be set up to help maintain it. These eight poles and flags can be maintained That’s eight formation gates.”
Master Daochen's eyes fell and he asked calmly: "Junior brother promised to guard one of the formation gates for me, have you never forgotten it?"
Xu Zhuang responded: "Brother, head master, you can rest assured that I will fulfill my mission."
Master Daochen's expression did not change, and he still said seriously: "Junior brother, please do not be careless. The task I give you is by no means so simple."
Xu Zhuang listened respectfully. Master Daochen pointed toward a formation gate that looked southward beyond Baozhou, directly facing Dongsheng, and only across the sea from Shenzhou, and said: "Although I am Taisu, I will go first, but I will not be able to do anything with my peers in the world." Not what I wanted.”
"This formation gate is opened by me specifically for the monks in the world, which means -"
This is a living gate and cannot besieged or killed.
Speaking of this, Xu Zhuang had already vaguely expected it, his eyes narrowed, and he looked towards the top of the Shengmen.
Master Daochen pointed at each formation gate and said slowly: "I have arrangements for all formation gates. As long as there are enough monks in the formation, unless Master Yuanshen personally takes action, even a huge offensive can be resisted."
"Only in this life gate, if the formation gate is wide open, it will definitely attract the spies and monsters to peek."
"It doesn't matter. This door is the passage I let the monks from all over the world enter."
"But I am the only one who refuses to allow the Demon Sect monks." Master Dao Chen showed a solemn look in front of Xu Zhuang for the first time, and said coldly: "I want my junior brother to personally guard this sect and kill all the Demon Sect monks who are close to this sect. Stop them all.”
Sure enough.
Xu Zhuang took a deep breath and responded in a deep voice: "Yes, I will strictly abide by the decree of Senior Senior Brother."
"Okay." Master Dao Chen nodded slowly, his face seemed to be slightly brightened, and said: "I still need to arrange manpower to assist junior brother. Does junior brother have someone to designate?"
Xu Zhuang raised his brows slightly and asked, "Didn't Senior Brother tell me last time that he wanted me to guard a sect alone?"
"I just warned you not to be careless." Master Dao Chen scolded with a smile and explained: "Yu Xiao Sect Yu Du and a group of disciples are willing to guard a formation gate for our Taisu Zhengsong, so the manpower shortage has been slightly alleviated."
"The family is at stake. I know that my junior brother is confident, but he still needs help from the side."
"Senior brother, don't worry." Xu Zhuang responded: "I'm not an arrogant person..."
Master Daochen pretended to be confused and asked: "Really?"
"The sect's big plan is the most important thing, so don't worry, senior brother." Xu Zhuang said: "As for the helpers, it's all subject to senior brother's dispatch."
"Good." Master Daochen said slowly: "I have some details to tell you about Nanzhan..."
Xu Zhuang listened carefully, with a slightly surprised look in his eyes. It wasn't until Master Dao Chen finished speaking that he slowly nodded and said, "Yes, I will follow the instructions of Senior Brother."
Master Daochen nodded slightly, and then suddenly said in a deep voice: "True disciple Xu Zhuang takes the sword!"
Xu Zhuang solemnly adjusted his robe, raised his hands to the top, and said solemnly: "Disciple, take the sword."
Master Daochen flicked the fly whisk, raised his sword with two fingers from his chest, and shouted: "Come out!"
He saw a Qingyun suddenly rise from his head, and he pulled out the hilt of a sword in the fairy mist. The moment the sword was unsheathed, a cold light suddenly shone across the room, piercing Xu Zhuangfa's eyes and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, he felt his hands sink slightly, and all his magical energy was ready to move as if he had been stimulated. Within a moment, sword energy was generated on his own, and Tai Su's intangible sword energy was naturally transformed.
Although Xu Zhuang closed his eyes, he still felt something in his heart and said secretly: "This is..."
It was forged by Zhenjun Yushou himself and passed down from generation to generation. It is the inherited magic sword for teaching and protecting the Tao - Taisu Pixu Sword!
Xu Zhuang couldn't help but clenched his hands, wanting to feel the blade of the Taisu Pixu Sword, but suddenly realized that he had clenched his fists. He quickly opened his eyes, put down his palms and looked around, and found that there was nothing in it.
"Okay." Master Dao Chen's voice came from above, and he said calmly: "Now that I have received the sword, I will entrust the students to my junior brother."
Xu Zhuang had no time to think too much, so he folded his arms and bowed in salute, saying, "I will definitely live up to the trust of my senior master."
Seeing his solemn look, Master Daochen nodded slightly and said, "Go."
When it is clear in the afternoon, eight rays of escaping light rise from everywhere in Taisu Zhengzong, go straight into the clouds and sky, and go south in unison.
A few hours later, I suddenly felt that the sky and the earth were vast. Looking around, I saw a piece of blue sea waves at first. As I looked further into the distance, I saw a dim color in the sky. From the sky to the sea, there was a thick mist, as if the water and sky were one color. , for people to write a stroke of heavy ink.
Everyone still fled forward, and soon they arrived near the heavy fog. Faintly, they seemed to be able to hear the roar of thunder and the howling of hurricanes, like ghosts crying and gods howling. They couldn't help but look at each other, with solemn expressions in their eyes.
Yun Hengshi searched for his spiritual consciousness, but when he touched the heavy fog, he instantly lost consciousness and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The heavy fog in the South China Sea is indeed well-deserved, but its ability to swallow up spiritual consciousness is the most feared danger for practitioners in the world.
However, everyone had no reason to back down from this trip. Yun Hengshi raised his hands and said to everyone: "Brothers, let's separate here."
They were all elders of the Taisu sect, and they came here according to the decree of the head master. Naturally, they knew what was going on, and after saying goodbye, they got up and left each other.
Yun Hengshi waited for everyone to leave, then gritted his teeth and rushed into the fog alone. He didn't get very far when he felt that the sky was dark and the ground was dark, and the direction was reversed. He almost ran into a place and jumped around, like a thousand-foot-long snake. The lightning was raging. among.
Yun Hengshi didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he took out the talisman given by the Master Master and activated it. A mouthful of Tai Su Gen's True Qi made by Master Yuanshen circulated throughout his body. Invisible people could not get close to him, and visible people could not be hurt. Only then did he feel calm.
He turned his hand over again, and a dragon-seeking ruler appeared in his palm. Following the pointer, it went around and pointed to one place. Yun Hengshi ran forward without thinking. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly saw an island hanging alone in thick fog. among.
"This is it." Yun Hengshi's eyes fell, and instead of seeing joy, he sank. He saw that the island was shaped like a crescent moon, leaving a pool in the missing moon.
A ferocious beast with bone spurs, fins like sharp swords, and messy claws and claws, half of its body was dripping in the water, and the other half of it was lying on the island, resting on its own.
The ferocious aura emanating from his body was not far behind even if it could not be compared with the three major monks of Nascent Soul.
"If this is a barbaric land, there are still such ferocious beasts growing wildly..."
Yun Hengshi looked at the ferocious beast for a moment, secretly calculated the time with his fingers, and looked solemnly: "We can't waste the time, it seems we must get rid of this harm."
