In the Butian Pavilion, Zhang Zhen, the Taoist priest who was on duty, had an anxious look on his face. On the other hand, Feng Bingwen, the official on the side, had a calm face, calm demeanor, calmness and composure, showing the demeanor of a direct descendant of the Taoist sect.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, why are you so panicked?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest called himself senior brother according to the rules, but Feng Bingwen was embarrassed to call him junior brother because the other party's realm was obviously higher than his.
"Senior brother, the cave that Daozi chose for you is the Zhanmeng Islands. This is really not a good place!"
Zhang Zhen pointed at the cave that Zhao Junxian chose for Feng Bingwen. He was obviously a great monk in the Dan Formation realm, but at this moment, he had a sad face and was worried.
It is a string of island communities scattered in the ocean. The cave that Zhao Junxian chose is not one of the islands, but this island community. This is the cave of Taishangdao.
Moreover, the Taoist No. 1 true disciple left directly after being selected, leaving no room for Zhang Zhen, the Taoist priest on duty, to bargain for Feng Bingwen.
"Please also ask fellow Taoist to explain it to me!"
Feng Bingwen's eyes scanned the map, in which land and ocean each accounted for 50%. The main body of it was naturally a vast continent, but there were still many islands dotted in the vast and endless ocean, which were covered by Taishang Dao.
Jurisdiction.
The archipelago selected by his master Zhao Junxian for him is one of them. In this map, it is not too small. It is only an area of about ten feet. There are only a few hundred scattered stars in it. The largest one is
One spot is only about the size of a palm, and is inconspicuous at all.
The only thing that can be seen is that the location of this archipelago is quite far away from the continent occupied by Taishang Dao. The archipelago extends further forward, and it is a vast country with no islands. It looks like outsiders are visiting Taishang Dao. They must
A checkpoint portal passed through.
"This matter needs to be discussed from ancient times!"
Feng Bingwen's question immediately inspired Zhang Zhen to talk about sex. What's more, the Taoist who gave him the power to oppress him has left, leaving only this one who has a more respected position than him, but is stronger than him.
The weaker true brother.
"Ancient times?"
Feng Bingwen also showed an interested look on his face, pretending to be listening attentively. He was also interested in these ancient secrets that were not known to ordinary monks. If someone was willing to tell them, he was also willing to listen. This would increase his knowledge.
Excellent opportunity.
"Don't look at the fact that our Taishangdao Mountain Gate is now full of spiritual ideas and dragon veins are everywhere. In ancient times, this place was an extinct area. The dragon veins were broken, the spiritual ideas disappeared, and all living creatures disappeared. It was really miserable!"
"Then why is it such a prosperous scene now?"
Feng Bingwen acted as a suitable compliment so that the fellow disciple on duty could continue speaking more smoothly.
"That's because at the most critical moment of the rise of our human race, Taishang Taoist Lord was born, with his feet on the twelfth-grade green lotus of creation, his hand on Taiyi's fly whisk, and the black and yellow exquisite tower of heaven and earth above his head, and he captured thirteen innate gods and demons alive!"
Zhang Zhen excitedly explained to Feng Bingwen the great achievements of the founder of Taishang Dao Kai Sect, with a look of honor. There are only a few disciples in the ordinary sect who are not aware of such things, so they can only tell Feng Bingwen.
Only in front of a true disciple like Bingwen, who has just started his career, can he show off.
"Senior brother, do you know what will happen to those innate gods and demons after they are captured?"
"I probably guessed it!"
Feng Bingwen lowered his head and looked at the map at his feet, which had shrunk many times but still looked vast and majestic.
"The founder probably filled the land with those gods and demons, and then created the fairyland scene in this mountain gate!"
"Senior brother is really smart, no wonder he is favored by Daozi!"
Zhang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and then praised, but quickly added,
"However, senior fellow apprentices are not allowed to spread such ancient stories outside the family. This is just an anecdote about the ancestor that is widely circulated among the sect and has not been confirmed. There are other versions.
Some people say that it was the second-generation ancestor who caught the stars and the moon, moved mountains and filled the sea, changed the heaven and earth, and other great powers that created the scenery we see before us.
Some people say... In short, senior brother, please don't talk too much outside, otherwise you will harm me, junior brother!"
"I know."
Feng Bingwen was startled for a moment, then he replied with a smile, this relationship is still unconfirmed news, this fellow student who stayed behind even wanted to pull him and said, he must have stayed in this Butian Pavilion all these years, so lonely.
too long.
"In short, since the ancestors arrived here, this place has become the gate of our Taishang Dao Mountain. It contains divine beauty, unique creation, dragon veins everywhere, and the sacred mountain is immortal.
For example, Daozi chose this cave for you, senior brother. There are ten big dragons gathering in it, but most of them are underwater, so it is not obvious from the water.
But it is indeed a rare place of cultivation. Among the caves that can be assigned to true disciples, it is also among the top three, but it is too dangerous."
"Dare to ask, brother, what's the danger in it?"
When it came to serious matters, Feng Bingwen's face suddenly straightened up.
"What kind of dangerous place can there be? If there is no one to take care of it, it will naturally breed all kinds of demons and spirits. However, senior brother, no true disciple has gone to this cave of yours for hundreds of years."
"No, fellow Taoist, didn't you just say that this cave is ranked among the top three caves that true disciples can choose? How come it has been left unattended for so long?"
Feng Bingwen thinks this is very unreasonable.
"Brother, please first take a look at where this cave is located. It is indeed full of spiritual energy, but it does not suit the preferences of many true disciples. Because it is disturbed by outsiders from time to time, it is not very popular."
Zhang Zhen explained helplessly that everything is good in the Taishang Dao, which means pursuing the Dao from top to bottom without caring about worldly affairs.
"I see."
When Feng Bingwen heard this, he understood that this Taishang Road was basically a gathering place for salted fish. From top to bottom, not many people were willing to do anything.
"Senior brother, please don't take it lightly. That cave is full of inspiration and has a vast territory. It has been vacant for so long, and I don't know how many great monsters have been born."
"I know, didn't you just say that? There are already monsters who are king among them and have established a monster kingdom!"
"But this was news a century ago. Now I don't know how far the demon kingdom has developed. I'm afraid the situation is not good."
Zhang Zhen seemed a little embarrassed.
"..."
Feng Bingwen was silent for a moment. Today was really an eye-opener for him, as Taishangdao refreshed his knowledge again and again.
"One year, no one cares about it for such a long time?"
Moreover, the extent of the news lag is too exaggerated. This is still within the mountain gate under the jurisdiction of Taishangdao, and the latest news is actually a century ago. It is really outrageous.
"It's not that no one cares about it. This news was brought back by an elder who was traveling abroad. He was passing by the Zhanmeng Islands and happened to see the demon king raising his flag to proclaim himself king and establish the demon kingdom."
"That elder didn't do anything? Didn't he intervene?"
"Well, the elder called his friends and held a banquet directly above the Zhanmeng Islands. Together with a group of friends, he watched the demon king establish a country and conquer all directions.
Oh, by the way, I remember that the demon king who was crowned king was actually a golden-threaded purple-faced monkey, and the elder who returned from the wanderings praised it for its exquisite mind, cuteness and cuteness!"
"understood."
Feng Bingwen nodded slightly. He now understood that Taishangdao did not care, but did not care. The big demon raised his flag to declare himself king and establish a country. In the eyes of an elder who had returned from traveling, it was just a monkey show with great value.
.
Who would interrupt a play while watching it? This would not in vain reduce a lot of fun for oneself.
And his master probably had a similar mentality when he chose this mansion for him, and didn't take the big demon who was the king at all.
He knew the doorway there, so he directly chose the cave here without asking for his opinion, probably thinking that he could deal with the monsters raging inside.
"Back then, the elder could easily suppress the demon king, but he left with a smile. Now he is just suffering from senior brother. However, Daozi did not stipulate how long it will take for you to master the cave.
You are just starting out, so you can go to Daozang Hall and other places to have a look. When your practice improves, you can take it back. There is no rush in this cave."
Master Zhang spoke generously to Feng Bingwen.
The reason why he is so worried is because Feng Bingwen's strength is too weak. What kind of realm is this? Looking at the aura, it is just the first time he has entered the mortal world. Although the foundation is extremely solid, there is nothing unusual about it. This is the Supreme Way.
of standard configuration.
The elders who returned from their travels saw the great demon who was the king of the Zhanmeng Island, calling for friends, watching as if watching a show, and even praised him a few times, but how could this senior brother have such strength?
Although he has extraordinary strength and can fight across borders, he is a great demon born and raised in the mountain gate of Taishangdao. How can there be mediocrity? That is the demon king that the elders praised!
Not to mention other places, let’s talk about the many spiritual birds in his Butian Pavilion and in the door eaves and tooth window pavilions for him to watch and enjoy. Which one is not a phoenix bird?
"My master will soon overcome the catastrophe and become an immortal. At that time, I will take over as the Taoist disciple. Before that, I am afraid I will have to control the cave. Otherwise, if the Taoist teaching that there is a cave but cannot return is spread, it will be a joke."
"Senior brother is right!"
Zhang Zhen nodded in agreement, and immediately began to make suggestions for Feng Bingwen.
"If not, let me contact some true brothers and sisters for you, junior brother, and ask them to help you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Dao. Since this matter was arranged by my master, let me solve it by myself!"
Feng Bingwen thanked his enthusiastic fellow student. Although he was very worried, after understanding it, he felt that the problem was not that big.
He is just a demon king. Even if he is respected by his bloodline, as long as he is not in the Cave Void Realm that can be called a human immortal, relying on the Mountain-moving Cauldron to control the power of the mountain god's land, it is not easy to suppress him.
"Alas! Senior brother, please don't be impulsive!"
Zhang Zhen sighed, but couldn't persuade him any more.
"You stay here, wait a moment, and I will go find the jade seal that controls the Zhanmeng Islands for you!"
"good!"
The Taoist Taoist hurried to another pagoda, then took out a small jade seal three inches square and handed it to Feng Bingwen.
Feng Bingwen held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, but he saw it was a jade seal engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, with a rising air, and a majestic and powerful lin beast lying on it.
This jade seal is clearly a high-grade magic weapon, with the word "Zhan Meng" engraved on its bottom.
It was a type of writing that Feng Bingwen didn't recognize. But as soon as he saw the writing, Feng Bingwen knew its meaning. It was similar to the ancient seal script in the Book of Heaven.
"Senior brother, with this jade seal, you can control the Taiyi Qing micro-suppression demon and evil-killing magic array deployed on Zhanmeng Island. However, if you want this array to be effective, you must enter the center of the array with this jade seal once!"
"I see!"
Feng Bingwen played with the jade seal in his hand and couldn't put it down.
"By the way, there is one more thing. Senior brother, your cultivation level is not enough now. We are going to the Zhanmeng Islands, which is 36,000 miles away. It would be a waste of time just relying on the flying shield. Junior brother, you can go to Feixian Pavilion and choose
A flying magic weapon for transportation!"
"When I first entered the mountain gate, I was very poor and had nothing with me to resist!"
"No need, this is the benefit that a true disciple should have!"
"I see, then I dare to ask, brother, how to get to that Feixian Pavilion?"
"Haha, senior brother, you asked the right person. I have a magic formation leading to Feixian Pavilion. You can use this formation to get there, and you will be there in a moment."
"Brother Zhang Dao, I'll say goodbye now!"
Feng Bingwen didn't waste any time and followed Zhang Zhen to the teleportation array set up in Butian Pavilion. He saw the void cracking as the magic light shone, and a gentle force enveloped him, moving thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.
"But Junior Brother Feng Bingwenfeng?"
The sky and the earth were changing. Feng Bingwen had just stabilized his figure. Before he had time to look around, he saw a young man who made him feel inexplicably familiar standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.
"Exactly, I wonder who my senior brother is?"
"My name is Jiang Wuji, and my Taoist name is Zhenxuan. I can be considered a true disciple. I am in charge of Feixian Palace. According to your seniority, you should be considered my nephew. Unfortunately, your master has now let you enter Taiqing Palace.
"
"I've met my uncle!"
"Hey, you don't have to be like this. You can call me whatever you want. You are also a true successor now. Although your cultivation is a little behind, you will catch up sooner or later, so there is no need to be so polite."
The figure and demeanor of the young man in front of him made Feng Bingwen always think of a Taoist who had been defeated by him, but the aura between the two was completely different.
"Senior brother, is he really the true disciple?"
Upon closer inspection, Feng Bingwen couldn't help but frown, and his body was full of killing sword energy, ready to go.
But who would have thought that such a gesture would make the Taoist Zhenxuan in front of him look happy?
"Junior brother can see it, he has good eyesight!"
"..."
Feng Bingwen was silent, but he saw the true successor introducing him eloquently.
"This is a new dharma image that I have made. It is based on the "Taiyi Geng Golden Sword Sutra" and condensed with Western fine gold, Taibai Zhensha, and Yuangang Tiansha."
