In the core area of Penglai Sea, there is an Emperor Island, which is located in a huge whirlpool, and the terrain is very peculiar. On this island, there is a palace that is said to have been built by the dynasty that unified the whole of Penglai in ancient times. The palace has now been transformed into Penglai Haishi, but many of its facilities remain intact.

"I don't know when the Dao began, the senior monks discovered Dique Island, and conducted a detailed exploration of this palace, which can almost be regarded as a complete exploration." The white-haired and slightly chubby Tiandu Zhenren smiled and introduced to Wu Jie, "According to the research of the predecessors, this is the cave house of a sect in ancient times, and many of the facilities in it are still neat, but I don't know why the road has been abandoned. ”

"Oh? Did you find anything in the cave? ”

"There shouldn't be much to gain...... At least not as far as I know. At that time, the predecessors of the expedition had long since died, and their descendants were left to this day by the Tianyin Pavilion and the Tandao Sect. Tianyin Pavilion has never seen outsiders, and although our master and apprentice have been fortunate enough to be there, we have not been able to find out any news; The Tandao Sect is not difficult to get along with, I have been there three times, and I have heard that their predecessors have found some elixirs on the Imperial Island that can help increase cultivation—but they have already eaten them. ”

Wu Xie nodded slightly, most of the relics of the ancient era are like this. It must be known that the truly precious things must be hidden very deeply, and once born, it will inevitably be a bloody storm, and this kind of thing will definitely not be hidden from those who have a heart. Tiandu Zhenren and his teacher Minghe Zhenren have spent three thousand years researching and exploring, and it is impossible to find no clues.

"So...... What is the situation with the ruins that Daoyou said? ”

"This is still the discovery of the family teacher back then-at the beginning, the family teacher thought that the environment of Dique Island was good, so he joined the real person organization that maintained the sea market and lived in Dique Island. At that time, Dique Island was not prosperous, except for the once-in-a-century sea market, it was usually only inhabited by some monks who studied mental methods such as whirlpools. As a true person of the Yin God, the family master is considered to have the highest cultivation on the island, so everyone invited him to live in the Xuanyi Gate, which is the gate of the palace. ”

Wu Xie frowned slightly, and roughly guessed the reason.

"The tutor always felt that there was something wrong with the gate, but he didn't know what the problem was. He studied when he had nothing to do, and he never got the essentials. Tiandu Zhenren said, "Until one day when the sun reflected the Beidou, he suddenly felt a strange force flashing at the position of the gate, and hurried to study the ......."

"The result?" Wu Xie couldn't help but ask.

"The process of specific research is mostly speculation and speculation, and it is not worth mentioning. In short, it took 1,200 years and four times for the sun to reflect the Beidou, and finally developed a way to use that strange power. After he explained everything to me, he took advantage of the fifth time the sun reflected the Beidou to use that strange power to measure the reincarnation of the army, according to him, he should have been reincarnated in the vast world overseas. ”

Wu Xie was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Minghe Zhenren spent 1,200 years chasing the secret of Dique Island, and finally successfully used this secret to reincarnate and left the Penglai Sea, and the sky is high and the sea is wide from then on. Maybe he's already an outstanding monk in the Great Wilderness Realm now......

"Listening to Daoist friends, the Lingshi didn't find a relic hidden behind that door?"

"Exactly, that's actually the result of my research." Tiandu Zhenren pushed his glasses, and his chubby face showed pride, "I have been following my tutor and studying with him." After his reincarnation, out of respect for his old man, I no longer lived in Xuanyimen, but chose to live in Zhengshenmen. Afterward...... It's almost an accident, I found that when the sun reflected the Beidou, there was also a fluctuation in the amount of force in the Xuanyi Gate, although it was very weak, but it vaguely meant to form a formation. ”

Tiandu Zhenren spent a lot of saliva, detailing in detail how he searched everywhere on Dique Island, found several key nodes of that formation, and how he found Yunzhu Zhenren and Fengyin Zhenren, two reliable colleagues, to study and explore together.

After saying this for more than an hour, he took out a silver-white array disk.

"This thing is the result of my research, as long as the sun reflects the Beidou, urge this array disk in front of the Xuanyi Gate, you can temporarily open the portal to the ruins. When I opened the door six hundred years ago, I threw in a cat and it was alive and well inside. The most important thing is that the secret spell set up by the Wind Whispering Daoist did not fail with the disappearance of the vision of the Sun Reflecting the Big Dipper, and we waited patiently for three days before casting a spell to summon it back - except that it was hungry and thirsty, it was in good condition. I kept it for nine years, and it didn't die until it died. ”

Wu Xie nodded slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Then it seems that there should be no danger inside, why do the three Daoists want to go with me?" ”

“…… When I opened the door three hundred years ago, I threw in more than twenty different animals, as well as a lot of food and water, and a little monster that I had secretly captured as an experiment. "As a result, I calculated the time, and when I felt that they were running out of food and water, I cast a spell to recall them, but only four or five chickens were recalled. Everything else failed—and the return of the spell was all dead. ”

"That's all those animals, what kind of realm is that monster?"

"Of course, it's a little demon in the Qi refining stage, his body is a grass snake, I specially told him, don't eat those animals, after I come out, I have an elixir that can improve his cultivation, he shouldn't be able to endure it for half a year. Even if he couldn't help but eat those animals, why did he let go of the chickens that were easy to eat? No matter how you look at it, cats and rabbits are harder to catch than chickens. ”

"And most importantly, why would he die?" Yunzhu Zhenren frowned and said, "The snake nature is the longest, and with his cultivation, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he can survive for thirty or fifty years." What's more, there is all the water and water over there, and it is impossible to die in just half a year."

"That's why we concluded that there must be something very dangerous in the ruins, and this little demon may have been tempted to see the treasure, but died at the hands of the forbidden or guardian who guarded the treasure. Even those animals died a lot. "The chickens should have not gone far, stayed near the entrance, and did not touch the ban - or the guards could not come to the door to chase and kill, and survived." ”

These words were said so clearly, and Wu Jie's questions were basically answered one by one. After thinking about it, he wrote a letter to the predecessors of Wuyazi in front of the three real people.

The letter said that he had originally agreed to visit, but because he suddenly encountered an opportunity, he had no time to separate for the time being, so please postpone the agreed time for a year. If possible, you should visit on the appointed date next year.

The letter was written succinctly, and the matter was clearly stated. Say what should be said, don't say what shouldn't be said, be clear and generous. The three real people watched Wu Xie write the letter, and then watched Wu Xie hand over the letter to Wang Yuanzhen, who was called by him, and watched Wang Yuanzhen go out. So you look at me, I look at you, and I can't help but nod in satisfaction.

This Zhifei real person has great powers, which has been proven for a long time. He was a humble man, and he had already known the Tao from the beginning. When they saw him today, the three of them found that he was generous and cautious, and he was very gentlemanly.

When he wrote this letter in front of the three of them, he clearly told them the cause and effect, and also told them that he would never divulge secrets.

And when he faced the opportunity, he could still remember the agreed visit with others, which shows that he was not carried away by the opportunity, and his thinking was still very clear and clear.

Such a character is indeed a very reliable companion

After Wang Yuanzhen left, Wu Xie pondered for a while, and then asked, "I wonder if the three Taoist friends are looking for other helpers besides me?" ”

"I originally wanted to ask Tanjima Zong Zizhu for help, but he happened to be in retreat." Yunzhu Zhenren sighed, "He asked his apprentice Zhang Pick to come on his behalf—Zhang Pick is only more than three hundred years old, and he is quite powerful among the Jindan monks, but to be honest, he can't help much." But Zizhu Daoyou said that this child has a lot of experience in calculations, and his luck has always been good...... It's just a calculation, it's not bad luck, but it makes me tempted. ”

Wu Xie nodded, indicating that he understood.

Luck is indeed a very important factor when it comes to treasure hunting. When it comes to the selection of treasure hunt companions, "good luck" may be more valuable than "good luck".

"I didn't find anyone from Tianyin Pavilion, but I know another person." Feng Yin Zhenren pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know the 'Nine-Fingered Qin Demon,' ”

"That's a well-known cult figure, who often kills people for trivial things, and has a bad reputation...... Could it be that you know him? Tiandu Zhenren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Why haven't you mentioned it before?" ”

"I've fought him twice, and I've had drinks with him." Feng Yin Zhenren said, "This person has an extreme personality and is ruthless. But in fact, he is also quite faithful, and he is a thief and a person. And most importantly...... He was a disciple of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion. ”

"Tianyin Pavilion?" Tiandu Zhenren was taken aback, "Why don't I know the Dao?" ”

"His original Taoist name was Fuqinzi, and he was the master of Tianyin Pavilion's 'qin, drum, and Xiao, among the three' piano department. When he was competing for the position of the head of the house, he was defeated by his junior brother. Because he was not satisfied, he made a big fuss, and finally used a secret method to cut off the index finger of his right hand so that it could not be recovered, and then expelled from the division

Feng Yin Zhenren sighed: "In one day, from the original candidate for the head of the house, who was extremely popular, to being expelled from the door wall, and even the proud hand of playing the piano was abolished, no wonder his personality became so extreme."

"How he used to be, that's all his business" Tiandu Zhenren frowned and said, "I just know that he has a bad reputation"

"But he is a person from Tianyin Pavilion, and many of the methods of Tianyin Pavilion, you are all knowledgeable - and, according to legend, the founder of Tianyin Pavilion, the Three Friends of Yinlu, met when he was exploring Dique Island, became friends of Mo Zhi, and later founded Tianyin Pavilion...... Don't you think maybe he can help? ”

Tiandu Zhenren frowned and looked at Yunzhu Zhenren.

Yunzhu Zhenren's thin face showed a look of embarrassment, sighed, and smiled bitterly.

So Tiandu Zhenren looked at Wu Xie again.

"How is this Nine-Fingered Qin Demon doing?" Wu Xie asked.

"Probably no worse than your faction's Red Six Ding Daoyou." The wind chanted and replied.

"Then ask him to come along." Wu Xie said lightly, "After the expedition, if he is willing to change his ways, I will help him go to Tianyin Pavilion to talk about it; If he is not evil, even if he has any adventures, I can control him. ”

He said it with ease, but with absolute confidence. Three real people, you look at me, I look at you, thinking of Wu Jie's brilliant achievements during this time, I couldn't help but nod together.
