Chapter 418 Little Heavenly Master

When Xin Zhen heard this, he was shocked: The Little Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain!

Fan Gui and Zhang Gongyu and others had invited him before. Although he did not go, he remembered the name.

When Zhang Gongyu was speaking, Xin Zhen had already seen the young Taoist priest clearly. Zhang Gongyu looked gentle as jade and very approachable, but Xin Zhen knew that this man was extraordinary.

The name "Little Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain" has already explained a lot of things. This is the next generation successor of Longhu Mountain. Although Zuo Xuanyi's position is only from the eighth rank, he is one of the seven powerful figures in Daoluo Division.

The Daoluo Si is said to be in charge of 180,000 temples and monasteries throughout the country. It is an independent system within the Dahua Dynasty, suppressing all kinds of evil people in the world on behalf of the imperial court. It has more than thousands of extraordinary people under its command. It is no small matter, but he is firmly sitting on the chair of the Daoluo Si.

Although his seat on this throne was related to the world's largest sect, Longhu Mountain, behind him, but if he had no ability, how could he stand out among the thousands of Zhang family disciples, and how could he subdue the jackals and tigers under his command.

This is just an analysis based on identity and status, but Xin Zhen can also vaguely feel the high level of his realm. Beneath his jade-like appearance, there is a natural Taoist charm.

Xin Zhen was well-read in Taoist canon and had a deep understanding of Taoism. When he met Zhang Gongyu, he felt that this person had reached a very high level in Taoism.

Hearing Zhang Gongyu's praise, Xin Zhen was not careless and quickly bowed and said, "Zuo Xuanyi, you are too kind. I didn't go to the banquet before because my practice had reached a critical moment and I had to make a concerted effort. I neglected Zuo Xuanyi."

Zhang Gongyu waved his hands and smiled, "Practice is important, practice is important, hmm..." He suddenly frowned and said, "What kind of practice did the champion master practice? Why can't I feel your aura?"

Charm?

It was the first time that Xin Zhen heard this word, so he quickly said, "Zuo Xuanyi called me Xin Zhen. I practice martial arts, and my realm is not high. I probably don't have the so-called aura, right?"

Zhang Gongyu smiled and said, "I heard Brother Fan say that you practiced martial arts, and I thought he had heard it wrong. I didn't expect Brother Xin to really choose the path of a warrior. I am very curious, why did Brother Xin choose the path of a warrior? Well, I am not prejudiced against warriors, but most people in the world have this prejudice."

Xin Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that I have no choice. I was born in the Xin family of Wujiang. The Xin family is just a secular family and there is no way for them to practice.

The children of the Xin family all take pride in studying. I was the same at the beginning. Later, I had an opportunity and learned skills from an extraordinary person. Then I embarked on the path of cultivation. There was really no room for me to be picky.

Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, but I don't know much about many things in the cultivation world. Even the Dao Lu Si, I only heard about it from my father-in-law.

The reason why I want to enter this Daolu Division is very simple, just to see if I can learn from some Taoist traditions, or get some cultivation techniques by being close to them. "

Zhang Gongyu clapped his hands and laughed, saying: "So that's how it is, that's simple, the Daolu Division naturally has very powerful Daoist and Buddhist techniques, as long as Brother Xin makes more contributions in the future, he can naturally obtain these techniques.

Brother Xin, I heard that you want to work in Laoshan, but there are no vacancies there at the moment. Do you think there is anywhere else you would like to go?"

Xin Zhen looked at Zhang Gongyu, who smiled and said, "We still have to give face to Minister Fan. Brother Fan and I are also friends, so if we can help him, we will do it for his benefit."

Xin Zhen suddenly understood, and thought that Minister Fan's influence was quite strong. He said that he would not interfere, but it did not seem like he would not interfere.

Since he can choose, Xin Zhen will not be polite.

Xin Zhen thought about it and decided that since he couldn't go to Mount Laoshan, he could go to Mount Maoshan. Xin Zhen asked, "Is there any vacancy at Mount Maoshan?"

Zhang Gongyu smiled and said, "Brother Xin, if you want to learn Taoism, then forget it. The Maoshan inheritance is not passed on to outsiders except for the disciples of the sect. The same is true for most other sects.

Since Brother Xin has already joined the Dao Lu Division, the Great Heritage will no longer consider accepting you. The relationship between the Dao Lu Division and the Great Heritage is very delicate. They are worried that you are sent by the Dao Lu Division as an undercover agent, so who would dare to accept you? "

Xin Zhen frowned and said, "My father-in-law said that over at Laoshan..."

Zhang Gongyu smiled and said, "Laoshan is just a poor village, barely relying on Yaoguang Zhenren to hold the fort. They can't defend against it even if they want to. However, if you are not a direct disciple, some important skills cannot be learned just because you want to."

Xin Zhen frowned. It turned out that there were so many tricks involved. However, it was normal. Most of the forces were like this. Even though the imperial court was the representative of the heaven on earth, it was only the largest force. The rest of the forces bowed in name only, but most of them were princes who only obeyed orders and not decrees.

There are not many places as close to the imperial court as Longhu Mountain and Yuntai Mountain.

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, “But Brother Xin, don’t be disappointed. Our Daolu Division has been sweeping the land and destroying thousands of sects for thousands of years, and has accumulated a lot of good things, including many great inheritances that have overwhelmed the times.

But if you want to learn, you have to show your merits. The left and right performers of our Daolu Division will not be partial. Without merits, it is wishful thinking to want to enter the Sutra Repository." Xin Zhen nodded. It seems that there are indeed masters in the Daolu Division. Most of the strange people who enter the Daolu Division are cultivators. Cultivators generally do not value gold and silver wealth, but the secret manuals of skills can make them fight for merits. No wonder they can suppress thousands of inheritances and make the court the only orthodox.

However, destroying thousands of sects... this statement contains a lot of information.

It seems that the relationship between the imperial court and the major inheritances is not so harmonious, and it is even to the point where they only obey orders and not announcements, otherwise why would they destroy thousands of sects.

However, these thoughts only flashed through his mind. Xin Zhen's main focus was that his idea of ​​learning Taoism from a great heritage was unrealistic. If he wanted to learn Taoism, he could only start from the Dao Lu Si.

Xin Zhen asked: "Zuo Xuanyi, how can I earn this merit?"

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "There are many ways to earn merits. One is conventional merits. As long as the area under your jurisdiction is safe and sound during your tenure for a certain period of time, you will get the merits.

One is to slay demons and monsters. If there are demons causing chaos in your territory, you need to slay them and protect the area for peace. You can obtain corresponding merits based on the level and degree of harm done by the demons.

Another way is to find rare treasures and skills and hand them over to the Daoluosi, which can also gain merit.

The above three are the more common merits. There are also merits such as discovering talents, suppressing rebellions, expanding territory, etc. As long as it is beneficial to the court, it can be reported, and the Daoluosi will consider giving rewards. "

Xin Zhen nodded. It seemed that there were many ways, but the most reliable one should be to slay demons and eliminate evil. After all, there were probably not many opportunities to suppress rebellions and expand territory. Natural treasures and skills were also rare. If they did exist, people probably wouldn't be willing to use them to exchange for merits. As for merits for time in office, there probably weren't many of those.

There are many opportunities to slay demons and eliminate evil. Now there are demons and monsters rampant in the world. As long as you want to slay demons and eliminate evil, there are always many opportunities.

The young Taoist priest smiled and said, "Slaying demons is hard work and it is also quite dangerous. When you go there, you have to do it within your capabilities. Many Taoist masters have also failed on the road to slaying demons. You only have martial arts skills, so there may be more dangers. You must not go deep into dangerous places just for the sake of merit."

Xin Zhen said gratefully: "Thank you Zuo Xuanyi for reminding me. I still value my life and will not rush into anything."

The little Taoist priest smiled and said, "That's good. Have you decided where to go?"

Xin Zhen asked: "Where are the vacancies now?"

The young Taoist priest didn't need to look up any information, he just said, "There are quite a few vacancies. Southern Xinjiang, Northern Wilderness, and the Demon Realm in the west all have hundreds of counties that need to be filled by the Daozheng Dao Society. There is also Jiangnan, oh, it's in your hometown, by the Taihu Lake."

Xin Zhen was surprised when he heard this and said, "There are vacancies in hundreds of counties? How come there are so many?"

The little Taoist priest smiled and said, “Those places are either borders, places inhabited by great demons, or wilderness. Not many people want to go there, and those who do go may not be able to survive for long.

The Dao Lu Si is very powerful, but the demons are not weak either. It is already not easy for the Dahua Dynasty to stabilize the current situation. There are demons everywhere even in the country, let alone the border.

Therefore, I suggest you return to Taihu Lake. After all, it is the heartland of the country. Even if there are monsters there, they are not big monsters. If you encounter one that you cannot handle, there are colleagues nearby who can help you. "

Xin Zhen readily agreed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Zuo Xuanyi."

Xin Zhen was a smart man. He naturally knew that there were many opportunities to make meritorious deeds at the border, but the mortality rate was also very high. He was too weak now, and there was no need to rush to the border for the sake of merit. It would be safer to return to Taihu and develop slowly. If he wanted to make meritorious deeds, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. Wait until his Chunyang Wuji Gong reaches the seventh level. By then, would he still be afraid that he would not have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?

The young Taoist priest nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to Taihu Lake." Then he clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "Okay, the business is done! I'll treat you tonight, let's go out and have some fun. It can also be regarded as an induction party held by me, the superior."

Xin Zhen could refuse Fan Gui, but he could not refuse Zhang Gongyu. After all, the other person's attitude today was so good and he had also found a good place for him. There was no reason to ruin his mood.

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "It doesn't make sense for the superior to treat us. Let me arrange it."

The little Taoist priest smiled and said, "Okay, I heard that you are a rich man, so I will let you spend money."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "But I am not familiar with the capital. Zuo Xuanyi needs to help me choose a place. I will just settle the bill."

The little Taoist priest laughed and said, "Okay, then let's go to Taibai Tower where we often go. The girls there are extremely beautiful and charming. They are good-looking and sweet-talking. Brother Xin will never forget them after going there once. Oh, I'm afraid that Brother Xin will not want to leave the capital after going there, hahahaha!"

Xin Zhen also laughed.
