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 support for Fang Wen, it would not be his own attitude, but that of Chunyang Palace.
No small matter.
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 brighter 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, and 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 was 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 Taoist Immortality think of 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 also 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. 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.
The time for Jiange's reopening 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 gave Zhou Heng the unique skill of swordsmanship of the fourth level of Yiyijue.
"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 reappears in the world to target the Tianjian Sect.
Zhou Heng was very satisfied with this.
Thanks to his understanding of the Zhuzi Sword Technique and his previous experience in practicing many sword techniques, the process of learning the Tianjian Sect was very simple. It took him roughly an hour to advance this fourth-level martial arts. On the seventh floor.
It is completely ready for actual combat.
This gave Zhou Heng one more means of attack, which could be regarded as preparation for heading to the Southern Jin Dynasty.
The next step is to go to Southern Jin Dynasty.
Zhou Heng originally planned to set off after attending the Zhoutian Xunjie Secretary's gathering on July 18th, but before he could wait, he received the mask message from the Five Emperors' Inner Seat.
——This time the party was cancelled, because a demon king ran out of the Western Wasteland, and the invasion of evil gods suddenly accelerated. The two leaders, Qinglong and Tianyi, were still resisting the evil spirits and couldn't get away.
So Zhou Heng set off directly to the Southern Jin Dynasty.
…
After the Chaoyang reception on February 2, there were no troops stationed at the Qi-Jin border lines in Jiangzhou, Yuzhou, and Jinzhou, and there were no strict inspections. The gates of the border walls were always open.
This border line is already in name only. Even ordinary people can enter and exit at will without any restrictions.
Zhou Heng walked out of the gate of the border city wall in Yuzhou.
At first, he didn't feel that there was any difference between the feeling after setting foot on the land of Southern Jin and that of Daqi.
After all, although Southern Jin is already a foreign country, in the states and counties that are relatively close to or directly bordering Daqi, people's living habits and speech accents are actually similar to those of Daqi, making it difficult to distinguish them.
This was Zhou Heng's first time stepping outside the borders of Da Qi, and the moment he stepped into the borders of Southern Jin, he felt a huge change - he could no longer sense the existence of Ziwei Palace.
Although he had to go through a specific entrance and exit before entering Ziwei Palace, he could feel the presence of Ziwei Palace no matter where he was in Daqi.
Now, this feeling is gone, replaced by another vast sky area hanging high in the void. He can vaguely perceive another palace different from Ziwei Palace.
It is not as mysterious and noble as Ziwei Palace, but it still has an aura of endless majesty.
Moreover, outside this palace, he also sensed the existence of a fiery red giant bird, which contained strong and fiery star power and had seven stars shining.
This is Taiwei Yuan and Zhuque Qisu.
But all Zhou Heng could do was sense them, he couldn't really contact them, let alone interfere with them.
"It seems that the star position of my Emperor Ziwei is probably incomplete." Zhou Heng stood on a mountain peak, looking at the sky of Southern Jin, lost in thought.
Emperor Ziwei is the lord of the stars and controls the heavens. Although he lives in Ziweiyuan, he should be the master of the three walls, twenty-eight constellations and even the stars in the sky.
But now, it seems that the only one he can exert influence on is Ziwei Palace.
However, now Zhou Heng doesn't care much about improving Emperor Ziwei's authority.
Firstly, Zi Weiyuan's authority has not been fully opened, so there is no need to expand it. Secondly, his own cultivation level is still relatively low. There is a lot of room for growth in both strength and cultivation level. There is no need to expand in this area for the time being. go ahead.
"The most important thing now is to go to the place where Kasyapa Temple is located." Zhou Heng's lips slightly raised, and he already had a complete action plan in his heart.
Although he came to the Southern Jin Dynasty this time with the purpose of going to Yujiang Prefecture to explore the Hundred Halls of Yao Palace and rendezvous with Cheng Jiangjian, the most important thing for him was to cause trouble for Kasyapa Temple.
Seeking a clear thought and a heart to cultivate merit.
Fortunately, Yujiang Prefecture in Kunzhou is on the way to the sphere of influence of Kasyapa Temple, so there is no conflict.
…
Although the Southern Jin Dynasty also had thirty-three states, its territory was much wider than that of the Qi Dynasty.
Many states and counties are very large in area.
This is especially true for the several prefectures and counties bordering Daqi. The smallest one is almost equivalent to the combined size of Yuzhou and Jiangzhou in Daqi.
And Kunzhou was in the central area of the Southern Jin Dynasty. Zhou Heng finally returned to the era when he could only rely on horseback to travel.
As for flying, it’s not impossible.
It's just that he is not familiar with the power and division of states and counties in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and cannot accurately avoid the sky above the major sects, aristocratic families, and state and county government offices. If he is not careful, it is easy to cause unnecessary conflicts.
Until he gets a complete and detailed map of the Southern Jin Dynasty, he might as well be on horseback.
——Whether it is Da Qi or Southern Jin, some relatively powerful forces will impose restrictions on the airspace above their homes, and most of them will not allow stranger warriors to fly over their heads.
Fortunately, he had gained a lot from opening the lucky bags in the past few times. Zhou Heng also obtained some dragon horse pills and treasure-level horse gear, and he had already updated the bay horse.
Now the bay red horse has been fed to an extremely tyrannical level by him.
In fact, he was over three feet tall and over ten feet long. His whole body was covered with red dragon scales, and there were two small bumps on his forehead, which looked like he was about to grow horns.
Although he does not have any magical abilities other than the ability to enlarge and shrink, in terms of pure physical strength, he even surpasses the ordinary secret sixth-grade warriors and is extremely powerful.
Coupled with the secret sixth-grade treasure horse "Thunder" obtained by opening the lucky bag, the thunder and fire suddenly appear when running, and the speed is faster than most Zhenqi realm warriors.
It's just that riding this kind of horse is a bit too ostentatious.
Zhou Heng restored the bay horse to the size of a normal horse, and put a layer of scale armor and a helmet on it to cover the dragon scales on its body and the bulge 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 ahead, "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 arriving at Yulong Mansion, Zhou Heng had 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 worry. When you get to this city, I will let you have a good meal and have a good 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 here?
"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 wrong, 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."
