A figure walked leisurely along the mountain road.
Zhang Ke was in a relaxed mood at the moment.
This time I went to the Central Region and not only successfully captured Tu Shan, but also solved a long-standing knot in my heart.
And it also received many unexpected benefits in the Central Region.
Simply integrating the Danqing method into the Fu Dao system caused a qualitative transformation in his Fu Dao cultivation.
In addition, there are also huge cultivation resources obtained from Tu Shan, Wu Xiang, Shen Tu Xiangzhi, the evil cultivators of the ‘Red Robe Society’, etc.
Among them, there are no less than 100,000 gold talismans, and there are hundreds of thousands of various kinds of magical instruments and heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
Among these trophies, most of the magical weapons were eventually broken down into two qi, pure and turbid, by him using their natal talismans.
There are also some treasures with unique functions that he left behind, which may be useful in the future.
The only puzzling thing is that he didn't find the seed of the 'Nine Nether Soul Dispersing Wind' in Tushan.
I don't know where he hid the seed of this divine wind.
What Zhang Ke didn't know was that a few years later, a monk accidentally entered the West Wind Valley and accidentally obtained the seeds of this divine wind.
When Zhang Ke returned from the Central Region this time, he made a special trip to the Star-Chasing Sword Sect.
The original intention was to go to Qingmei to reminisce about the past, but unexpectedly he learned from his master that Qingmei had gone to the Central Region to test the sword decades ago.
I have never returned in these decades.
This made Zhang Ke feel sad secretly.
In order to trace the whereabouts of Tu Shan, he has been acting in the name of Wanxiang in the Central Region in the past few years, and his footsteps have never left the Lan Kingdom.
Perhaps because of this, I missed Qingmei in the Central Region, which I have to say is a pity.
After entrusting the gift prepared in advance to Qing Mei, Zhang Ke left with some disappointment.
Among these gifts are several treasures of heaven and earth.
[Household Rod], [Hanging Stone], [Star Core], [Mirage Dragon Sword] and some unique spiritual fruits and spiritual teas from outside the region.
In addition, he also left a letter for Qingmei, except for some slightly intimate words.
It focuses on introducing the Xuanyuan Sword Sect disciple who once left a name in the Ring Dao Realm.
Described in detail the appearance of the sword cultivator and some of the methods he revealed.
He also constructed a star map using the [All Heavenly Flying Stars Dayan Divine Calculation], in which the general location of the ring realm was marked.
These are all specially prepared by Zhang Ke for Qingmei.
His thoughts dispersed and he looked at the familiar things around him, and a feeling of returning home came to his mind.
But when Zhang Ke stepped into the mountain gate happily, his original good mood suddenly turned bad.
Xiantian Yiqi Sect has five mountains and twelve peaks.
Five mountains including Danxia Mountain, Zhonggu Mountain, Cailiang Mountain, Wanshou Mountain and Tianzhu Mountain are distributed like curved fingers.
Tianzhu Mountain is located at the thumb position, and the other mountains are listed behind.
As for Feilai, Yunding, Bijia, Jiuyou, Zuowang and other twelve peaks, they are scattered around the five mountains.
Among them, Zuowang Peak is located at the wrist and is the gateway to and from the sect.
In the past, at the beginning of Taoism, Zhang Ke and other Taoist disciples studied and grew up at Zuowang Peak.
It can be said that every plant and tree here has left a deep mark on Zhang Ke's heart.
On the periphery of these five mountains and twelve peaks are the two cities of Qingtian and Tieshan, including ten counties and hundreds of small towns.
Due to the rapid development of Xiantian Yiqi Sect in the past hundred years, it has attracted a large number of people to settle down.
Today, the number of people under the jurisdiction of Xiantian Yiqi Sect has exceeded 12 million.
The size of Qingtian and Tieshan cities and the counties and towns under their jurisdiction simply cannot accommodate so many people living here.
When there are more people, there will be more right and wrong, and various conflicts arise frequently. A large part of Xiantian Yiqi Sect's energy is involved here.
Although the senior management of the door also discovered this hidden danger, there was no good solution for the time being.
Moreover, because there have been many internal problems in the sect in recent years, there is no time to take care of this matter.
At this moment, as soon as Zhang Ke stepped into Zuowang Peak, he saw many things that made him uncomfortable.
There is a market at the foot of Zuowang Peak, which was originally set up to facilitate the Taoist disciples who studied and grew up here.
After all, Taoist disciples have to live here for at least fifteen years.
But now, along the way Zhang Ke walked, Taoist disciples wearing the costumes of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches could be seen wandering on the streets everywhere.
It is in the morning, which is the best time to study.
Zhang Ke clearly remembers that in his time, almost every Taoist disciple wanted to use one day as two days.
In addition to normal homework and duty, all the remaining time is used to improve one's knowledge.
What he saw almost overturned his understanding. In this market, the favorite places for Taoist disciples to go were actually some Qin Lou Chu Pavilion.
You must know that now is the best time for Taoist disciples to lay the foundation.
Yuanyang, the body of true yin is so important, he doesn't believe that these Taoist disciples don't know.
Zhang Ke stared blankly at the many Taoist disciples who were calling friends and chatting and laughing in the market.
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a heartache in my heart, just like a parent seeing his indulgent child.
With a quick glance of his mind, he discovered that there were no fewer than five venues in this market.
And the ones who hang around the most are still Taoist disciples. It seems that in order to reveal their identity, everyone is wearing the clothes of Taoist disciples.
In addition, there are also many service establishments such as teahouses and pubs that are booming in the market.
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhang Ke had some doubts that he might be in a dream.
The ethos of Xiantian Yiqi Sect has always been rigorous, and it is particularly strict on the behavior of Taoist disciples.
In the past, even though Zhang Ke had the experience in the dream, he was cautious in his words and deeds during the more than ten years he lived here, and did not dare to go beyond the limits.
How could Zuowang Peak have become like this in just a few years?
A trace of anger arose from the bottom of Zhang Ke's heart. He looked around and saw that there was no one around him, then he used his right hand to flick out a spiritual light on the wall beside him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a moment, the face of a middle-aged man suddenly appeared on the wall, and then, a figure jumped out of the wall.
Slightly shorter than ordinary people, he is covered in fish-scale blue armor and has an iron mace stuck at his waist.
After this person jumped out of the wall, he recognized Zhang Ke's appearance at a glance.
I couldn't help but feel a little excited. I hurried forward, clasped my hands and bowed to salute.
"The Seventh-grade Daily Travel God Zhong Hua pays homage to Master Ruyi!"
Zhang Ke said ‘hmm’ and showed his identity token.
Zhong Hua hurriedly said:
"There is no need to examine the person, the disciple knows the real person.
If it weren't for the real person in the past who created the ninth grade Dharma Protector, how would my disciples have the chance to embark on the path of spiritual practice."
After saying that, he bowed and bowed again.
Zhang Ke frowned even more. From Zhong Hua's words, it could be seen that even the most basic identity check was in vain.
"Is it possible that there are no basic rules now?"
Zhong Hua's expression was slightly startled.
His eyes turned, and he didn't understand what Zhang Ke was talking about until he saw the identity token still shining with aura in Zhang Ke's hand.
At this moment, he suddenly felt touched.
I don’t know how many years it has been since no disciple of the sect has taken the initiative to show his identity token.
Nowadays, in Xiantian Yiqi Sect, even the outer disciples don’t take the ‘Dharma Protector’ seriously.
And Zhang Ke's reputation among the Xiantian Yiqi Sect is even higher than that of the master Ming Xiao.
But they still act according to the rules of the past, which is in sharp contrast to the behavior of other Yiqi Sect disciples.
Zhong Hua lowered his head and said in a low voice: "It's my disciple's fault, please punish me!"
Zhang Ke shook his head and said:
"Let's put aside this matter for now, why is this market like this now?"
Zhong Hua looked at the many impetuous Taoist disciples in the market and felt enlightened.
"Sir, this situation has been going on for a long time.
In the past twenty years, the discipline of the Taoist academy has become much looser. The disciples have lost their restraints and are no longer interested in learning.
Especially in recent years, this situation has become more and more serious.”
Zhang Ke thought for a moment and asked:
"Things must have a source after all. Where is the source?"
Zhong Hua hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth out of respect for Zhang Ke.
"Master Furong knows that since Master Furong became the True King forty years ago, the beast-controlling lineage in the sect has suddenly started to tremble.
These disciples not only caused trouble everywhere, but also deprived the disciples of the sect of their cultivation resources in various ways.
Even the Taoist Academy could not escape its exploitation. Not only did it squeeze out a lot of Taoist lecturers, but it also installed a large number of beast masters.
Privately, he sold the places of Taoist disciples at high prices and recruited many people who were just pretending to be disciples.
Because they all spent a lot of money to enter the Taoist Temple, these disciples always take everything given by the Taoist Temple for granted.
Not only does he not have high recognition for the sect, but he also uses his status as a Taoist disciple to cause trouble everywhere.
He frequently went in and out of the Qin Tower and Chu Hall, and when he came back he would spread the word about all the wonderful things about the outside world.
Some disciples who were dedicated to learning could not resist the temptation and gradually lost their enterprising spirit.
You must have seen those romantic places in the market. Many of them have Taoist disciples involved in them.
Over the years, most of the disciples in the Taoist Academy have long since lost interest in learning.
As a result, in recent years, Taoist disciples have been mixed, with few outstanding disciples appearing."
The anger in Zhang Ke's heart rushed straight to the top door, and he suppressed his anger and asked:
"The Taoist disciples are the foundation of the sect. If something like this happens, the Fengchao Tai will not care about it?"
Zhong Hua smiled bitterly and did not answer the question.
Zhang Ke also knew that something was wrong with his emotions, so he took a deep breath to calm down the anger in his heart.
He said in a deep voice: "Is there any reason why someone from the outside world deliberately interfered in this?"
Zhong Hua was silent for a moment and whispered:
"According to secret investigation by disciples, many people use flattery, inducement, provocation and other means to induce Taoist disciples to make mistakes.
Moreover, he would often throw out some novel and bizarre remarks in these romantic places to induce the Taoist disciples’ concepts of right and wrong.”
