A few months passed unknowingly, and Chu Feng spent an ordinary and quiet time at Tiandao University.
On this day, it was drizzling and the air was filled with water vapor. From a distance, it looked like a fairyland.
Chu Feng was walking alone on the deserted path with a solemn expression. Not long after, he came to a simple and grand hall, which was full of Taoist priests, including young people with white faces and beards, and old men with bright heads, all of whom were well-educated. Gao Shen, when they saw Chu Feng coming in, they all paid attention.
On the steps, Wang Chixiao, the leader of the Taoist temple, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, said with a smile: "The eldest son, sit on the right side."
Tiandao University respects the right. In this hall, there are many people who are more advanced than Chu Feng. This arrangement makes many Taoist priests who are calm in the past look surprised.
Chu Feng himself did not expect Wang Chixiao to have such an arrangement, but he was not a hypocritical person. He nodded, walked to the empty futon on the right, and sat down with a calm expression.
Sitting opposite was a young Taoist priest with jade-like skin and an aloof temperament. Chu Feng knew that this was just a superficial appearance. The real identity of this young Taoist priest was the Tianxing Elder of the Taoist Academy. She was frightening for a long time, and her cultivation level was second only to Palm. The king of the hospital is Chi Xiao.
Seeing Chu Feng looking at him, Elder Tianxing smiled and nodded.
Wang Chixiao's voice sounded again.
"This trip to the West to obtain scriptures and compete with Buddhism for mainstream status, Pindao decided to hand it over to Changshengzi."
The whole place was in an uproar. Competing with Buddhism for mainstream status was something that had been decided many years ago. It had just been implemented recently. It was related to the rise and fall of Taoism. I didn't expect that it would be handed over to Chu Feng, who had just come to Tiandao University.
Chu Feng was shocked, not because the heavy responsibility fell on him, but because of the words "going west to learn Buddhist scriptures".
Wang Chixiao stroked his goat's beard and said with a smile: "Changshengzi, are you willing?"
Chu Feng, who had long been tired of staying at Tiandao University, had no reason to disagree and nodded immediately.
Wang Chixiao smiled and looked at everyone present.
"Is there any objection?"
The whole place was silent, everyone was like a stone sculpture, as if they were not the ones who were making an uproar just now.
Wang Chixiao paused for a moment and then said: "This time, when traveling to the west to obtain scriptures, in addition to our Taoist sect and Buddhist sect, there are also Confucian sects, Mohist sects, and demonic sects. There are dozens of sects, large and small. Whoever can successfully obtain the scriptures can become a Tiandao University. Mainstream.”
The Taoist priests looked at each other and lowered their heads, looking indifferent.
Wang Chixiao was angry and funny. The Taoist school was overtaken by Buddhism step by step due to the inaction style of these people. The reason why Chu Feng was chosen was because he was different.
"The discussion ends here, Chu Feng stays."
The Taoist priests seemed to have woken up. They stood up in a noisy manner, like ducks out of the cage, and disappeared after a few breaths.
The only ones left in the main hall were empty, Chu Feng, Wang Chixiao, and Elder Tianxing.
The corners of Wang Chixiao's mouth twitched and he said helplessly: "Look at them one by one, the Dao Sect will be destroyed in their hands sooner or later."
Chu Feng also had a strange expression. The most high-end Taoist forces were lazier and more inactive than the last. They had been bullied by Buddhism for so long, but they still didn't have any blood. Maybe he had entered a fake Taoist sect.
Elder Tianxing, who had not left, opened his mouth, revealing his teeth as white as jade.
"Senior brother, don't be angry, don't we still have an immortal son?"
Wang Chixiao heard this and looked at Chu Feng, his eyes full of hope.
Chu Feng sighed in his heart. In such a large Taoist academy, there were not only a thousand but also eight hundred people with higher cultivation levels than him. It was really ironic that the head of the Taoist Academy placed its hopes on himself.
"Changshengzi, each westbound team is limited to five people. You can choose five people at Tiandao University, or you can ambush them on the way."
Wang Chixiao said solemnly.
Chu Feng felt even weirder, he was actually the same as the Journey to the West team.
Elder Tianxing added: "After the grand event of Journey to the West begins, Tiandao University will be temporarily closed, and all westward travelers will not receive assistance from their respective schools."
How can this be done? There are so many people with advanced cultivation in Tiandao Continent. If someone deliberately obstructs it, they will be killed as soon as they leave Tiandao University.
Chu Feng looked straight and said: "Master, Elder Tianxing, this journey to the west must be very dangerous. Without backup, I am afraid that I will die on the way."
Wang Chixiao and Elder Tianxing looked at each other and took out a brocade box.
"There are three emperor talismans in it, which can be used to kill three times."
Chu Feng glanced at the brocade box and raised his head, "It's gone?"
"No more." Wang Chixiao nodded.
For such an important matter as traveling to the west, only three emperor talismans were given to replace him. The headmaster was so irresponsible.
Chu Feng smiled bitterly.
Wang Chixiao stood up with the brocade box, walked to Chu Feng, and solemnly handed the brocade box out.
Chu Feng took it in his hand and sent it into the sea of consciousness.
Wang Chixiao returned to his position and continued: "You take the Xinghai Teleportation Formation and leave Tiandao University. Along the way, you pass through the ancient road of the human race, the ancient road of the monster race, the ancient mythical road, the ancient Buddhist road... the golden ancient road, and your destination is Dachitian. In the Sanqing Realm, Wuji Palace, it will be considered a success if we retrieve forty-two scriptures from the hands of the Sanqing Tianzun, including the Miaozhen Sutra, the Xisheng Sutra, the Shengxuan Sutra, the Kaitian Sutra, the Qingjing Sutra, the Beidou Sutra, and the Repaying Enlightenment Sutra."
Could it be that the Sanqing Tianzun was the deity of the Three Pure Ones in one? It was related to high-level affairs. Chu Feng did not ask any more questions, but instead asked about the situation of other sects.
Wang Chixiao said: "Buddhism has sent Jin Chanzi to the West. Jin Chanzi, like you, is also a Da Luo Jinxian. Who has been sent by the other sects has not yet been decided. Do you still have questions?"
Chu Feng shook his head.
Wang Chixiao smiled, his figure disappeared, and his majestic voice spread in the air.
"You can't use magical power to escape here. You can only move forward on foot. Be careful along the way and don't insult the Taoist sect's reputation."
Chu Feng smiled bitterly, and left like this. This leader is really irresponsible at all. It seems that in critical moments, he needs to use the gate of time and space to escape. As long as it is not a place like the Immortal Mountains, traveling through the gate of time and space should not be a problem.
The girl-like elder Tianxing stood up when he saw Wang Chixiao leaving, stretched his small waist, stood up grandly, walked to Chu Feng's side, put his little hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, every school has one Guardians of the Tao, there is the Miaoshan Ancient Buddha from the Buddhism school, the sub-sage Mencius from the Confucian school, Nuwa from the demon school, and Pindao from the Taoist school, who will definitely protect you and arrive safely."
Looking at Elder Tianxing's cunning eyes, Chu Feng felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.
“We will set off in the next two days”
When Elder Tianxing finished speaking, he disappeared.
At noon, Chu Feng came to Ye Zi's restaurant, which was just the time to eat. People were coming and going, and business was booming.
Ye Zi was settling accounts behind the counter, his delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking very serious.
Chu Feng walked to the counter.
"I have something to discuss with you"
Ye Zi raised his head and glanced at Chu Feng, with a smile on his lips.
"It's about heading west, right?"
The news spread quickly, Chu Feng smiled and nodded.
