In the core area of Penglai Sea, there is a Dique Island. It is located in a huge whirlpool and has a very strange terrain. On this island, there is a palace that is said to have been built by the dynasty that unified the entire Penglai in ancient times. This palace is now used by
It was transformed into Penglaihai City, but many of its facilities remain in their original state.
"I don't know since when, the senior monks discovered Emperor Que Island and conducted a detailed exploration of the palace. It can be regarded as a complete investigation." The white-haired and slightly chubby Tiandu Master smiled at Wu.
Xie introduced, "According to the research of our predecessors, this is the cave of an ancient sect. Many of the facilities inside are still in good order, but we don't know why they were abandoned."
"Oh? Did you find anything in the cave?"
"There shouldn't be much gain... at least not as far as I know. All the predecessors who investigated at that time have long since died, and their descendants are left behind today by Tianyin Pavilion and Tandao Sect. Tianyin Pavilion has never seen outsiders, and our master
Although I was lucky enough to go there before, I couldn't get any news; the Tandao Sect is not difficult to get along with. I have gone there three times and found out that their seniors discovered some elixirs on Dique Island that can help increase their cultivation.
——But I’ve finished eating it long ago.”
Wu Jie nodded slightly. Most of the relics from the ancient times were like this. It must be known that truly precious things must be hidden very deep, and once they are born, there will be a bloody storm. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from the prying eyes of interested people. Master Tiandu and other
Master Shi Minghe spent three thousand years researching and investigating, and it is impossible that he could not find any clues.
"Then... what is the situation with the ruins that Fellow Taoist mentioned?"
"This was my master's discovery back then - my master thought that the environment on Dique Island was good, so he joined the real person organization that maintained the sea market and was stationed on Dique Island. At that time, Dique Island was not prosperous, except for a hundred years.
Outside the once sea city, there are usually only some monks who study mental methods such as whirlpools. As the master of Yin Shen, the family teacher is considered to be the highest cultivated person on the island, so everyone invited him to live in Xuanyi Sect.
——That is, the gate of the palace."
Wu Jie frowned slightly and roughly guessed the reason.
"My master always felt that there was something wrong with that gate, but he didn't know where the problem was. He studied it when he had nothing to do, but never got the point." Tiandu Master said, "Until one day when the sun reflected the Big Dipper, he suddenly felt that the gate
There was a strange power flashing across the location, and I hurried to study..."
"What's the result?" Wu Jie couldn't help but ask.
"The specific research process is mostly guesswork and conjecture, not worth mentioning. In short, the master spent 1,200 years and experienced the Sun Reflecting the Beidou four times, and finally developed a method to utilize that strange power.
The old man thought that his life was about to end, so after he handed everything over to me, he took advantage of the fifth sun to shine on the Big Dipper and used that strange power to reincarnate. According to him, he should have been reincarnated in the vast world overseas.
Gone."
Wu Jie was silent for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.
Master Minghe spent 1,200 years pursuing the secret of Dique Island, and finally succeeded in using this secret to reincarnate and left the Penglai Sea. From then on, the sky is high and the sea is vast. Perhaps now he is an outstanding monk in the wilderness.
Bar……
"I heard from fellow Taoist that the master didn't find a relic hidden behind the door?"
"Exactly, this is actually the result of my research." Master Tiandu pushed up his glasses, with a look of pride on his chubby face, "I have been following my master and researching with him. After he was reincarnated,
Out of respect for his old man, I no longer lived in Xuanyi Gate and chose to live in Zhengshen Gate. Later...it was almost an accident. I discovered that when the sun reflected the Beidou, that kind of power also appeared in Xuanyi Gate.
Although the fluctuations are very weak, they vaguely have the meaning of forming a formation."
Master Tiandu spent a lot of time describing in detail how he searched everywhere on Dique Island and found several key nodes of the formation, and how he found two reliable colleagues, Master Yunzhu and Master Fengyin.
Let’s study and explore together.
He talked about this for more than an hour, and finally, he took out a silver-white array disk.
"This object is the result of my research. As long as I activate this formation disk in front of Xuanyi Gate when the sun reflects the Beidou, I can temporarily open the door to the ruins. When I opened the door six hundred years ago, I threw
A cat went in and it lived well inside. The most important thing is that Feng Yin
The secret method that fellow Taoists set on it did not expire when the phenomenon of the Sun Reflecting the Big Dipper disappeared. We waited patiently for three days before casting the method to bring it back - in addition to being hungry and thirsty, its condition
It was very good. I kept it after that, and it lived for nine years before it died."
Wu Jie nodded slightly and asked doubtfully: "Then it seems there is no danger inside. Why do the three fellow Taoists ask me to go together?"
"...When I opened the door three hundred years ago, I threw in more than twenty different animals, a lot of food and water, and a little monster that I secretly captured as a test subject." Master Fengyin sighed.
He said, "In the end, I calculated the time and estimated that when their food and water were almost exhausted, I cast a spell to recall them, but only four or five chickens were recalled. Everything else failed - judging from the returns of the spell
, are all dead.”
"Those animals are just that. What kind of realm is that monster?"
"Of course he is a little demon in the Qi refining stage. His body is a grass snake. I specially told him not to eat those animals. After he comes out, I will give him a pill that can improve his cultivation. He shouldn't be able to bear it for even half a year.
.Even if he couldn't help but eat those animals, why did he let the chickens that were easily eaten go? No matter how you look at it, cats and rabbits are harder to catch than chickens."
"The most important thing is, why did he die?" Master Yunzhu frowned and said, "Snake nature is the longest. With his cultivation level, he can survive for thirty to fifty years even without eating or drinking. What's more, there is plenty of food and water there.
It’s impossible to die in just half a year.”
"That's why we concluded that there must be something very dangerous in the ruins. This little demon may have been tempted by the treasure, but he died at the hands of the guards or guards guarding the treasure. Many of the animals also died." Tiandu
The real person said, "Those chickens probably didn't go far and stayed near the entrance, without touching the restriction - or the guards could not come to the door to chase them, so they survived."
These words were spoken so clearly that Wu Jie's questions were basically answered one by one. After thinking about it for a while, he wrote a letter to Senior Wu Yazi in front of three real people.
The letter said that he had originally agreed to visit, but due to a sudden opportunity, he was temporarily unable to attend. Please postpone the agreed time for one year. If permitted, he would go to visit on the agreed date next year.
This letter was written very concisely, and the things were explained very clearly. What should be said was said, and what should not be said was left unsaid. It was clear and generous. The three real people looked at Wu Jie writing the letter, and then looked at Wu Jie's general.
He handed the letter to Wang Yuanzhen, who was called by him, and watched Wang Yuanzhen go out. So you looked at me, I looked at you, and you couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
This Zhifei Zhenren has great supernatural powers, which has been proved long ago. He is a humble man, which was also known from the beginning. When they met today, the three of them found that he was generous and cautious in doing things, and he was very gentlemanly.
He wrote this letter in front of three people, clearly telling them the cause and effect, and also telling them that he would never reveal the secret.
And when he faced the opportunity, he could still remember the visit he had agreed with others, which shows that he was not dazzled by the opportunity and his thinking was still clear and clear.
Such a person is indeed a very reliable companion
After Wang Yuanzhen left, Wu Jie pondered for a moment and then asked: "I wonder if the three fellow Taoists have found any other helpers besides me?"
"I originally wanted to ask Zizhu Zizhu of the Tandao Sect for help, but he happened to be in retreat." Yunzhu sighed, "He asked his apprentice Zhang Jian to come on his behalf - Zhang Jian is only more than 300 years old, and he is a monk in Jindan.
He is quite powerful, but to be honest, he can't help much. But fellow Taoist Zizhu said that this kid is quite experienced in calculations, and his luck has always been good... It's just calculations, but his luck is not bad, but it makes me...
So tempted."
Wu Jie nodded to express his understanding.
For treasure hunting, luck is indeed a very important factor. When it comes to selecting treasure hunting companions, "good luck" may be more valuable than "good magical powers".
"I haven't found anyone from Tianyin Pavilion, but I know someone else." Master Fengyin pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know about the 'Nine-fingered Piano Demon?'"
"That's a well-known evil figure. He often kills people for trivial matters. He has a very bad reputation... Do you know him, fellow Taoist Fengyin?" Master Tiandu was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Why haven't you mentioned him before?"
"I have fought with him twice and had drinks together." Master Feng Yin said, "This person has an extreme personality and is ruthless. But in fact, he is also very loyal and a man of integrity. The most important thing is...
…He is a disciple of Tianyin Pavilion.”
"Tianyin Pavilion?" Master Tiandu was shocked, "Why didn't I know?"
"His original Taoist name was Fuqinzi, and he was a master of the Qin Department among the three departments of Tianyin Pavilion - Qin, Drum, and Xiao. Back then, when he was competing for the position of leader, he was defeated by his junior brother Jun.
Because he was dissatisfied with the result, he made a big fuss. In the end, he had his right index finger chopped off using a secret method so that it could not be restored, and then he was expelled from the school.
Master Feng Yin sighed: "In one day, he went from being a highly popular candidate for the head of the sect to being kicked out of the door, and even his proud piano player was crippled. It's no wonder that his character is so bad."
Become so extreme
"What happened to him in the past is all his business." Master Tiandu frowned and said, "I only know that he has a bad reputation."
"But he is from Tianyin Pavilion, and you all know many of Tianyin Pavilion's methods - and it is said that the founders of Tianyin Pavilion, the Three Friends of Music, met each other while exploring Dique Island and became Mo Ni.
After becoming acquainted with each other, he later founded Tianyin Pavilion... Don't you think that maybe he can help?"
Master Tiandu frowned and looked at Master Yunzhu.
Master Yunzhu had a look of embarrassment on his thin face, sighed, and smiled bitterly.
Then Master Tiandu looked at Wu Jie again.
"What are the methods of this nine-finger piano demon?" Wu Jie asked.
"Probably no worse than Taoist friend Chiliuding of your sect." Master Fengyin replied.
"Then invite him to go with you." Wu Jie said calmly, "After the expedition, if he is willing to change his ways and become a good person, I will help him go to Tianyin Pavilion to make a confession; if he persists in his evil, no matter what.
Qi Yu, I can also control him."
He said this easily and calmly, but showed absolute confidence. The three real people looked at me and I looked at you. Thinking of Wu Jie's brilliant achievements during this period, they couldn't help but nod together.
