Chapter 352 Ancient Taiqing Dao
After all, Tianjianmen is one of the top martial arts sects in the Southern Jin Dynasty. There are gods and humans and there are Taoists.
Without enough benefits, Zhou Heng would never be able to support Fang Wen.
In this matter, if he expressed his support for Fang Wen, it would not be his own attitude, but that of Chunyang Palace.
No small thing.
Fang Wen would definitely not be so naive as to think that he could impress this person for no reason.
He must hold on to something.
"Brother Fang wants to rebuild the sword pavilion, just do it." Zhou Heng smiled and said: "Then why do you come to me?"
"There is no point in rebuilding a sword pavilion that no one recognizes." Fang Wen said solemnly: "I know Brother Zhou has concerns, but I have enough confidence to impress you."
"Oh?" Zhou Heng's smile grew even stronger when he heard this, and said, "You might as well talk about it. But, Brother Fang, I have to say it first. It's meaningless to just impress me. You have to impress Chunyang Palace."
"This is natural." Fang Wen nodded and lowered his voice: "I discovered the ruins of Jiange Pavilion in the cave before, and was pulled to another world by a mysterious force.
"There I not only got most of the inheritance of Jiange, but also got a very important clue about the inheritance of the ancient Taiqing Dao!"
"Huh?" Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this and said with a smile: "Our Chunyang Palace is not a sect separated from Taiqing Dao, so you should go to Taixu Temple."
Taiqing Dao is a sect from the ancient mythological era. The specific situation has long been unable to be verified. He also knew from the inheritance of Zhixu Sect that the source of Taixu Guan and Zhixu Sect is Taiqing Dao.
"Is Chunyang Palace not interested in the inheritance of Taiqing Tao?" Fang Wen laughed after hearing Zhou Heng's words, "This is the source of the inheritance of Taixu Guan."
"Brother Fang has a good plan." Zhou Heng did not hide his true thoughts and gently nodded: "This is indeed a good condition, but I have a question, what does the Tao of Immortality think about this matter?"
Fang Wen is not a casual cultivator, but a true disciple of the Tao of Immortality.
Now he wants to set up another branch outside, and the one he wants to build is a medieval holy place like Jiange. Under normal circumstances, the Immortal Dao would never allow his disciples to do this.
"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I have already taken care of the master's side." Fang Wen said solemnly: "When I re-establish the mountain gate of Jiange and reopen the mountain gate, the elders of my sect will come to congratulate me."
"That's very good." Zhou Heng smiled and nodded, without asking in detail, "Brother Fang, please wait here first. I will go up to the Golden Summit to discuss it with my senior brother."
"Thank you, Brother Zhou." Fang Wen was immediately filled with joy and said, "Then I will wait here for the good news."
…
The golden top of Yuxu Peak.
"Fang Wen, Jiange, Taiqing Dao inheritance?" Yan Shou was a little surprised when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "Interesting, it seems that Fang Wen has a great opportunity, and his future achievements will be limitless."
"Well, I can feel that he is extremely powerful." Zhou Heng nodded and said: "Compared to the level of Secret Sixth Grade, there are probably very few warriors who can beat him."
"Junior brother, what do you think compared with you?" Yan Shou said with a smile.
"I can type ten square characters on a piece of paper." Zhou Heng shook his head and chuckled, "I can no longer measure it based on common sense."
"Haha, this is the first time I heard someone talk about me like this." Yan Shou laughed heartily and was in a good mood, "So, junior brother, what do you think about this matter?"
"I tend to give Fang Wen a platform and support him in establishing Jiange." Zhou Heng said his decision, which he had already thought about on the way to Jinding.
"Well, why is this so?" Yan Shouyi asked.
"The result of weighing the pros and cons." Zhou Heng said sternly: "By giving Fang Wen a platform, we can get the inheritance of Taiqing Tao, thereby learning more about the situation of Taixu Guan, and taking the lead in future struggles.
"In addition, Fang Wen has great potential, and the sword pavilion itself has a very strong heritage. If he develops the sword pavilion again, Chunyang Palace will have an additional ally, and there will be a powerful heritage in the world, and the hope of fighting against foreign enemies will be One more point.
"Compared to the above advantages, there is only one disadvantage that we need to face in supporting Fang Wenzhong to establish the Jiange, and that is the hostility of the Tianjian Sect."
"No, you are wrong." Yan Shouyi shook his head.
"Ah?" Zhou Heng was confused.
"Tianjian Sect doesn't dare to be hostile to us." Yan Shou smiled and said, "So, this matter has only advantages and no disadvantages, so why not do it?"
"Haha, yes, that's right, why not!" Zhou Heng nodded and smiled.
…
After getting Zhou Heng's answer, Fang Wen went down the mountain.
Jiange's reopening time is set for the eighth day of February next year. Fang Wen hasn't chosen the specific location yet. Anyway, invitations will be sent by then, so there's no need to worry.
However, before going down the mountain, in order to show his sincerity, Fang Wen actually directly gave Zhou Heng the fourth-level swordsmanship.
"Heavenly Sword Jue".
This is a unique fourth-level martial arts, with only one sword technique. It is one of the martial arts created by the sword master before he became enlightened. There is nothing fancy, it just condenses an unparalleled sword light to attack, which is extremely powerful.
More importantly, it is said that the founder of the Heavenly Sword Sect was inspired by the Heavenly Sword Art to gain a glimpse of the secrets of the realm of heaven and man. The later founding of the Heavenly Sword Sect was also influenced by the Heavenly Sword Art.
It is simply a martial art that has reappeared in the world to target the Tianjian Sect.
Zhou Heng was very satisfied with this.
Thanks to his understanding of the sword art of the word "Zhu" and his previous experience of practicing many sword art and sword techniques, the process of learning the Tianjian Sect was very simple. It took him about an hour to advance this fourth-grade martial art to the seventh level.
It can be used in actual combat.
This gave Zhou Heng another means of attack, and it was also a preparation for going to Southern Jin.
The next step was to go to Southern Jin.
Originally, Zhou Heng wanted to set off after attending the Zhoutian Xunjiesi gathering on July 18, but before the time came, he received a mask message from the Five Emperors' Inner Seat.
——This gathering was cancelled because a demon king ran out of the Western Wilderness, and the invasion of the evil gods from outside the sky suddenly accelerated. The two leaders, Qinglong and Tianyi, were still resisting the evil demons and could not get away.
So Zhou Heng set off directly and went to Southern Jin.
…
After the February 2nd Chaoyang Cocktail Party, there were no garrisons or strict inspections on the border between Qi and Jin in Jiangzhou, Yuzhou, and Jinzhou, and the gates of the border walls were always open.
This border line is already a mere formality. Even ordinary people can enter and exit at will without any restrictions.
Zhou Heng walked out of the gate of the border wall in Yuzhou.
At first, he did not feel that the feeling of stepping on the land of Nanjin was any different from that in Daqi.
After all, although Nanjin is already a foreign country, the living habits and accents of people in the states and counties that are relatively close to or directly bordering Daqi are actually similar to those in Daqi, and it is difficult to distinguish them.
This is the first time Zhou Heng has stepped out of the border of Daqi, and the moment he stepped into the border of Nanjin, he felt a huge change-he could not sense the existence of Ziwei Palace.
Although he also needed to go through a specific entrance and exit to enter Ziwei Palace before, he could feel the existence of Ziwei Palace no matter where he was in Daqi.
Now, there is no such feeling, replaced by another vast sky area hanging high above the void, and he can vaguely sense another palace different from Ziwei Palace.
It is not as mysterious and noble as Ziwei Palace, but it also has an endless majestic atmosphere.
Moreover, outside this palace, he also sensed the existence of a giant fiery red bird, which contained a strong and hot star power, and seven stars were shining.
This is the Taiwei Yuan and the seven stars of the Vermillion Bird.
But Zhou Heng could only sense them, and could not really contact them, let alone interfere with them.
"It seems that the star position of me, the Purple Star Emperor, is probably incomplete." Zhou Heng stood on a mountain peak, looking at the sky of Southern Jin, and fell into deep thought.
The Purple Star Emperor is the master of all stars and governs the heavens. Although he lives in the Purple Star Yuan, he should be the master of the Three Yuans and the Twenty-Eight Stars and even the Zhoutian stars.
But now, it seems that he can only influence the Purple Star Palace.
However, Zhou Heng is not very concerned about perfecting the authority of the Purple Star Emperor.
First, he has not yet fully opened the authority of the Purple Star Yuan, so there is no need to expand it. Second, his own cultivation realm is still relatively low. Whether it is strength or cultivation realm, there is a lot of room for growth, so there is no need to make progress in this regard for the time being.
"The most important thing now is to go to the place where the Jiaye Temple is located." Zhou Heng's mouth corners slightly raised, and he already had a complete action plan in his mind.
He came to Nanjin this time, of course, with the purpose of going to Yujiang Prefecture to explore the Yao Palace Hundred Palaces Map and reunite with Cheng Jiangjian, but the most important thing for him was to find trouble with Jiaye Temple.
Ask for a thought to be clear, and cultivate the heart of blessings.
Fortunately, Kunzhou Yujiang Prefecture is on the way to the sphere of influence of Jiaye Temple, and there is no conflict.
...
Although Nanjin is also 33 states, its territory is much larger than that of Daqi.
Many states and counties are extremely large.
This is especially true for the states and counties bordering Daqi. The smallest one is almost equivalent to the sum of Yuzhou and Jiangzhou in Daqi.
And Kunzhou is in the central area of Nanjin, and Zhou Heng finally returned to the era when he could only travel by horseback.
As for flying, it is not impossible.
It's just that he is not familiar with the power and state and county division of Nanjin, and cannot accurately avoid the sky above the major sects, noble families, and state and county government offices. If he is not careful, it is easy to cause unnecessary conflicts.
Before getting a complete and detailed map of Southern Jin, he might as well ride a horse.
——Whether it is Da Qi or Southern Jin, some powerful forces will have restrictions on the airspace above their homes, and most of them will not allow strange warriors to fly over their heads.
Fortunately, Zhou Heng had gained a lot from opening the lucky bag several times before, and he also obtained some dragon horse pills and treasure-level horse equipment, and had already upgraded the red horse.
Now the red horse has been fed to an extremely powerful level by him.
Its true body is more than three feet tall and more than ten feet long. It is covered with red dragon scales all over its body, and there are two small bumps on its forehead, which looks like it is about to grow horns.
Although it has no magical abilities except for being able to grow and shrink, in terms of pure physical strength, it even exceeds ordinary secret sixth-grade warriors and is extremely powerful.
Combined with a secret sixth-grade treasure horse equipment "Benlei" obtained from opening the lucky bag, thunder and fire appear when running, and the speed is faster than most true qi realm warriors.
However, riding this kind of horse to travel is a bit too ostentatious.
Zhou Heng restored the chestnut horse to its normal size, and gave it a layer of armor and a helmet to cover the dragon scales on its body and the bump on its head.
After some careful grooming, the bay horse finally looked like a normal horse again.
"Old man, you really don't let me worry." Zhou Heng rode a bay red horse, patted the horse's neck with a smile, and looked at a big city in front of him, "Yulong Mansion, this name is interesting."
"Hululu." The bay red horse snorted, shook its head, rubbed against Zhou Heng's palm, and continued to move forward.
Maybe it was finally walking on flat land, and it was in a good mood.
Now Zhou Heng has passed through the states and counties on the border between Qi and Jin and arrived at Miaozhou in the northern part of the Southern Jin Dynasty. This place has many rivers, lakes and swamps. The climate is humid and it rains all year round. It can be called a water state.
Before coming to Yulong Mansion, Zhou Heng had already ridden a bay-red horse through 30,000 miles of waterways. Although the bay-red horse had long been able to walk on water, it still liked land.
"Haha, don't be anxious. When you get to this city, I will let you have a good meal and sleep." Zhou Heng looked at the sky and saw the golden crow sinking in the west, and the sun was approaching dusk. He said with a smile: "We will see you again tomorrow morning. On the way."
"Hululu!" The bay-red horse shook its head in agreement.
Then, one person and one horse arrived in front of Yulong Mansion, but were stopped by the soldiers guarding the door.
"Young hero, please come back." The guard guard said simply, "Yulong Mansion will not accept foreigners for the time being. If you want to go forward, you can go to the west and take a detour."
"Why?" Zhou Heng said in surprise: "I have a guide."
The road guide was naturally that of the Southern Jin people. He had already prepared it before crossing the Qi-Jin border, and it had been smooth sailing on the previous journey without encountering any obstacles.
Why aren't you allowed in Yulong Mansion when you get there?
"It won't work even if there is a road to guide us. Let's go, let's go." The guard guard waved his hand with an impatient expression.
"This..." Zhou Heng frowned slightly, raised his head and looked at the sky attentively. He found that the weather here was not right, and there was a vague evil spirit entrenched in it, so he said in a deep voice: "Are there any monsters causing trouble in the city?"
Ordinary soldiers most likely don't know the existence of evil spirits, but if there is a problem in the city, they will most likely think it is caused by monsters.
"You, how do you know?" The guard guard's eyes suddenly widened, and his attitude immediately became respectful, "Are you a third-level warrior?"
"That's right." Zhou Heng nodded lightly.
"Great!" The guard guard's eyes lit up and he said respectfully, "Sir, please come with me to see Shangguan. Something has indeed happened in our city of Yulong Mansion."
