Regarding the news about the Jin family, Fanxing Goddess did not mention much in her memory. She only mentioned a few words.
However, Xu Dao guessed that most of the ancestors of the Jin family were disciples of Fanxing Island, and perhaps the entire Jin family was a branch of the Fanxing Taoist lineage, descendants of the Taoist priest who left the third secret vault.
Seeing the Taoist priests from the Jin family jumping out, and among them there was also a Taoist priest who built the foundation, Xu Dao's eyes flickered for a few times, he cupped his hands and said politely:
"Pindao is passing through here and wants to find an island to rest and replenish some food."
The leader of the Taoists of the Jin family, Ji Ji Taoist, looked like a middle-aged scholar with a short beard on his chin. He pinched his short beard, quite disbelieving Xu Dao's words.
At present, the situation in the West Sea is changing, and forces big and small are being destroyed every moment. Although their Jin family island is among the 108 islands, their strength has just entered the stream. They must be careful to avoid rogue cultivators at sea.
They are so bold that they want to gain wealth on the Jin family island.
Moreover, the families on Baijin Island are single. Except for a few other families, most of them are branches of the Jin family. 90% of the population is named Jin. They have not strict contacts with the outside world and do not welcome outsiders.
Jin Shilou stared at Xu Dao closely, thoughts flashed through his mind, and he immediately said: "I'm sorry, fellow Taoist!"
Jin Shilou looked apologetic: "The West Sea is in turmoil and trade routes are cut off. Apart from the ore trade, our Baijin Island has no business. The shops on the island are closed and closed. I'm afraid they can't meet the needs of fellow Taoists."
Friends, please come back."
The other party said it tactfully, but clearly expressed that Xu Dao was not welcome.
Hearing these words, Xu Dao looked thoughtful and thought about his words.
The third secret vault is on Baijin Island, and it is an unusual location. The method of entering it is related to the Jin family. Xu Dao does not know how long it will take. Therefore, it is not convenient and easy to get to the island secretly.
If you are in a dangerous situation, you might as well find a reason to take refuge directly.
As long as he can land on the island, even if the other party doesn't trust him, many people who stay for the first half of a year can always find opportunities.
Therefore, seeing the Jin family Taoist drive away the guests, Xu Dao looked helpless and sighed a few words: "To be honest, this fellow Taoist, poor Taoist, came to Baijin Island specifically to find a place to stay.
"
He said with a sad face: "The current situation is too unstable. I don't think it's peaceful, and I'm afraid that my life will be in danger if I mess around at sea. I've heard for a long time that Baijin Island is kind to people and takes good care of its guests, so I did this
Not far away more than ten thousand miles, I came here specially to seek refuge in Guizhou."
When Jin Shilou heard Xu Dao's words, his face remained calm, but he was slightly relieved in his heart. With a proud look on his face, he said with a smile: "I see, then you dare to ask which side your friend is from?"
Came here from the island."
Xu Dao replied: "Dongji Island."
When he set off from Dongji Island, he deliberately collected and learned about the situation on the two islands, just in time to make some nonsense. Moreover, Dongji Island is far away from Platinum Island, and it would take a year for the foundation-building Taoist priests to go there and back.
It is also convenient for him to fool the other party with nonsense.
After several words, Jin Shilou saw that Xu Dao's attitude was still good, and he didn't show any signs of impatience. He really didn't look like a thief with malicious intentions, and his vigilance relaxed even more.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was soft, Xu Dao took the opportunity to say something nice: "This Platinum Island is really a place of outstanding people. There are Taoist priests with profound magical powers like fellow Taoists, as well as young fellow Taoists with extraordinary magnanimity. Pindao came here today.
, I really made the right choice.”
Jin Shilou heard this and thought to himself: "Such a foundation-building Taoist priest is too sweet to talk about, but there are no fools who can build a foundation. Rather than driving this guy away and offending him in vain, it is better to lure him to the island.
Let the other elders make the distinction, after all, what I am responsible for today is just patrolling."
Jin Shilou added in his mind: "Besides, not long ago, the hall was discussing whether to take the opportunity to recruit troops and let them worry about it."
After thinking clearly, Jin Shilou immediately smiled and said: "In that case, fellow Taoist follow me to the island first. Others will discuss the matter with fellow Taoist later. Even if we can't reach an agreement, fellow Taoist will stay on the island longer."
In a few days, we should be able to accommodate."
Xu Dao looked overjoyed: "Good."
Jin Shilou immediately shouted: "You gentlemen, you will patrol on your own. I will take this fellow Taoist back to the island first."
"Yes!" Immediately there was a sound of orders from the surrounding area, and all the Qi Refining-level Taoist disciples of the Jin family bowed and shouted. After Xu Daochong bowed his hands to these people, he quickly stepped out and caught up with the figure of the Jin family Taoist priest.
Along the way, the two of them chatted. Xu Dao knew the other person's name, and then made up a random name and gave it to the other person.
Xu Dao claimed to be a martial artist who was good at using a golden spear. His family name was Yu, but his name had not been used for many years. Jin Shilou could just call him "Golden Spear Taoist".
"I have never heard of Taoist Jin Qiang Yu..." Jin Shilou thought about it in his mind, and then said with a smile: "The name of Taoist Fellow Taoist has some fate with the people of my Platinum Island. They all start with gold."
The name was a bit of a coincidence, but Xu Dao was not worried that the other party would notice something just because of the name. Besides, he did it deliberately and was trying to get involved with the Jin family on Platinum Island.
A distance of more than a hundred miles passed by in a flash.
Xu Dao flew to Baijin Island and found that the island was a thousand miles in size and was quite regular, not long or broken. However, this thousand-mile island was not fertile soil with many strange rocks on it.
Among the mountains on the island, there are a number of pointed-shaped buildings scattered here and there. The buildings are painted in gold, similar to the pyramids in Xu Dao's memory. When they are illuminated by the sun, they will appear extremely brilliant, and their number will be huge.
There are as many as a hundred of them, some large and some small, scattered all over the island.
Xu Dao recognized the layout of these pyramids and found that they resembled a starry sky map, and it was exactly the starry sky map of the eternal starry array in his mind.
The first time he saw it, he was excited: "Could it be that the Taoist priest who left the secret vault has already arranged the eternal star array and is just waiting for someone to come and form the elixir?"
Although I understand that such a situation is pitiful, it does not prevent Xu Dao from thinking wildly and looking forward to it.
Jinshilou saw that Xu Dao was "astonished" by the island's layout. With a bit of pride, he pointed to the central mountains in the hinterland of the island and said: "This is the secret pavilion of Baijin Island. All foundation-building Taoist priests can take it by themselves."
One, the largest one is where my Baijin Island ancestral hall is, don’t approach it easily.”
"Fellow Taoist, please follow me to the next one. This is where our island's affairs are held. The next few are surrounded by streets and walls, which are the shops on the island and the residences of Taoist boys and disciples."
Whoosh! Jinshilou also cast a spell and notified other people in the pyramid first.
When the two of them landed in front of the pyramid, there were already people waiting for them. Among them were handsome Taoist disciples and charming maids. They all nodded and looked respectfully.
There was a sturdy middle-aged man, wearing a light golden robe, with a Chinese character face and a solemn demeanor, looking at Xu Dao and Xu Dao with great interest.
Jin Shilou took the lead to step forward and beat him: "Second Elder, this person is Taoist Brother Jinqiang. You two can just discuss it. I will go back to the island first and take care of those boys."
The strong man in golden robe should be the "Second Elder". This man nodded, exchanged a few words with Jinshilou, and then handed him off. Then Jinshilou nodded to Xu Dao, then turned into a golden light and disappeared outside the island.
There was a voice at the scene: "Fellow Golden Gun Taoist! It is really a sin for this island to miss the welcome from afar."
The strong man in golden robe cupped his hands and invited Xu Dao: "Go into the hall first and discuss it in detail."
Xu Dao looked around and took in the layout outside the pyramid. He was not afraid. He nodded happily and chatted with the strong man in gold robes. He learned that this person was called "Jinshidian" and that he and the Taoist priest from Jinshilou were both here.
He is a member of the Jin family.
According to what Xu Dao inquired outside, there are a total of twelve elders on Platinum Island. Among them, the eldest elder is named "Jin Shiting". He has perfected his martial arts skills and is the actual controller of the Jin family.
As for the Jinshi Temple in front of him, its cultivation level was impressively at the level of Gang Refining, and its magic power was profound, and it was only a few years away from perfection.
A thought flashed through Xu Dao's mind: "Twelve elders, guest sir, I don't know how many there are... This Platinum Island is quite powerful, so it seems like it needs to be more careful."
During the greetings, he followed the second elder Jinshidian into a pyramid. After entering, he felt even more magnificent. There were twelve chairs in it, and some of them were sitting on human beings or souls, with streams of spiritual consciousness.
He pounced on the two of them and paused emphatically on Xu Dao for several times.
The Taoist priests in the pyramid were talking a lot: "Is this person a Taoist priest from an outer island who came to avoid trouble?"
"The cultivation level is not bad. He has already reached the root level and his Qi and blood are pure. He is not considered a waste." Xu Dao hid his cultivation level and only revealed his martial arts cultivation level. He did not even expose his evil spirit.
"He is indeed a talented person, but unfortunately he is not of the blood of this island, but an outsider."...
Xu Dao frowned slightly when he was directly scanned by someone with his spiritual consciousness, but because the other party was not too presumptuous and this was someone else's territory, he suppressed these emotions.
Xu Dao calmly handed over his hand: "I have met all of you fellow Taoists."
Responses came one after another, and they were all ignored: "I've met fellow Taoist!" Everyone present was in the foundation-building realm, and people of the same level should still be polite on their faces.
At this time, Xu Dao suddenly saw the Jinshi Palace next to him walking out, flying towards the highest chair in the hall, and then sitting on it. The other party pointed to other seats in the hall, indicating to Xu Dao to find a seat wherever he wanted.
sit.
Xu Dao was slightly surprised by this move, but because he didn't know what the internal situation of the Jin family was, he just glanced at it, was slightly surprised, and then regained his composure.
Xu Dao solemnly bowed his hands towards the Jinshi Palace and sat down on a high chair.
Jinshidian saw Xu Dao's slightly surprised, but not too concerned look, and felt a little satisfied with Xu Daosheng. He clapped his hands and said, "Fellow Jin Qiang came from a hundred thousand miles away to survive the tribulation."
The Polish side is here and wants to settle down on our Platinum Island today, do you elders think it’s okay?”
The consciousness in the hall was fluctuating. The elders and elders of the Jin family present were talking to each other. Xu Dao was outside their consciousness and didn't know how to interrupt.
Fortunately, after some discussion, the elders of the Jin family started asking Xu Dao questions about his origins, his intentions, and even his cultivation and techniques.
Xu Dao was well prepared for this and responded calmly.
As the conversation progressed, Xu Dao's strength was revealed, and so was the turmoil in the West Sea. If he sincerely joined Platinum Island, it would be a good thing for both of them, a win-win situation, so the Taoist priests did not want to make things difficult.
There was even a Taoist priest who suddenly said: "What are you going to do as a guest? There are so many women in the clan. Just pick a few and give them to fellow Taoist Golden Gun. Let the fellow Taoist directly join my Platinum Island. It would be great to become an elder." "
Hearing this, Jin Shidian, who was in the first seat, laughed loudly and was about to set the tone: "In this case, you all have no objections to Brother Jin Qiang entering my Platinum Island."
But at this moment, a figure accidentally flashed past, and a tall figure appeared in the field, saying coldly: "Someone has an opinion!"
The person who came had a cold voice. When Xu Dao heard the words, he took a look and saw a female Taoist with a cold appearance and a strong temperament. The Taoist robe she was wearing was more like a powerful outfit. She looked like she was good at boxing and kicking. Her Qi was also built, but Not very powerful.
The female Taoist walked out and scolded: "Absurd! What a turmoil is happening in the West Sea right now. Many islands have been lured into their homes by wolves, and then their foundations have been usurped by outside Taoists."
She looked directly at the first Jinshi Palace and shouted: "Second Elder, you are sitting in the wrong seat. If the First Elder were here, he would not be as hasty as you."
"It's the Thirteenth Elder." Jinshidian sneered: "The Great Elder failed to break through and has not been able to get out of seclusion for a long time. He is probably dead. From now on, the decision of the Baijin Island will be made by our own way. What's wrong with our decision?"
After saying that, Jinshidian seemed to be pitiful but actually said sarcastically: "Niece, your father is dead. When it is time for us to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the island, why should we turn away talented people? If only the Great Elder could understand this earlier. If you don’t do it, you won’t have to work so hard and die early.”
The female Taoist was furious: "Jinshi Palace, you servant gave birth to a son!" She immediately started to curse.
Xu Dao listened on the sidelines and understood immediately. He had encountered a bullshit incident in the transfer of power in Platinum Island, and it happened to become a point of contention between the two factions.
This made Xu Dao feel slightly happy. The more chaotic the Jin family became, the easier it was for him to fish in troubled waters on the island and open the secret vault.
The Jinshi Hall and the female Taoist were quarreling with each other. Some Taoist priests in the hall were silent, some shouted at the female Taoist for being big or small, and some spoke out to support the female Taoist:
"The Thirteenth Elder is right. After all, Taoist Brother Golden Gun is from outside the island and has nothing to do with my Platinum Island. Maybe we can settle down first and study the guest's affairs slowly."
After saying these gentle words, most of the Taoist priests in the hall fell silent, while Jin Shidian stared coldly at the Taoist priest who spoke.
Xu Dao didn't want to be assessed by the other party slowly and then grant the rights to the guest. He had to make a decision when he saw the court and immediately stood up: "Wait a minute!"
"Fellow Taoists, let me tell you the truth. In fact, Pindao has a long history with Guidao. He is not a stranger to me."
