Chapter 307: Dragons and Tigers, Whales Trapped in Shallows

Liu Xingyang's original plan was to take the high-speed rail to Longhu Mountain. After all, he didn't have much money, so he tried to save as much as possible.

Therefore, the three of them left Baiyun Temple earlier than the other contestants and headed for Longhu Mountain.

Gongsun Ce did not insist on taking a plane to Longhu Mountain, and taking the high-speed rail would also be fine.

Liu Xingyang wore a pair of big sunglasses and remained silent all the way. Gongsun Ce guessed that he was thinking about the sudden change in the rules of the Luotian Dajiao and the birth of the Tongtian Talisman.

Compared to Liu Xingyang's silence, Huang Ming was a little impatient.

Huang Ming is very young and seldom leaves Baiyun Temple to go to other places. Therefore, after getting on the high-speed train, he kept staring at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window and kept exclaiming.

Liu Xingyang frowned slightly and slapped Huang Ming on the back of the head lightly.

"Snapped!"

"Senior Brother! What are you doing?" Huang Ming complained, covering the back of his head.

Liu Xingyang pushed up his sunglasses and told Huang Ming, "Be careful with the seniors here. Be careful when you go to the Luotian Grand Ceremony at Mount Longhu.

Now the rules of Luotian Dajiao have been changed. Young people under the age of 30 can participate. There are always people better than you. If you encounter an opponent you cannot handle, just admit defeat. "

Huang Ming nodded in agreement, but there was some reluctance in his eyes.

Gongsun Ce glanced at Huang Ming's resentment and didn't say much. After all, it had nothing to do with him and Huang Ming was not his disciple.

Just like that, the three of them got off the high-speed train, changed trains, and soon arrived at the foot of Longhu Mountain where the Luotian Sect was held.

At this time, many young and extraordinary people had begun to come to Longhu Mountain, and it was quite lively.

Even if there was no Luotian Grand Ceremony, Longhu Mountain, as the location of the Tianshi Palace of the Zhengyi Sect, still attracts many tourists every day, so there are many people buying tickets at the foot of the mountain.

Many people went to the ticket office to buy tickets to go up the mountain. Perhaps because Gongsun Ce came with Liu Xingyang and Huang Ming, the three of them happened to run into the group of Zhang Chulan, Xu San, Xu Si and Feng Baobao at the ticket office.

Although Liu Xingyang and Huang Ming both have Taoist certificates, this is Longhu Mountain. If they want to go up the mountain, they can only show their Taoist certificates to buy discounted tickets, and they cannot get free tickets.

Therefore, when Liu Xingyang looked at the ticket price of Longhu Mountain which was as high as 260 yuan, he couldn't help but smack his lips. You know, the ticket price of Baiyun Temple is not that high.

"Why are the tickets so expensive? Two hundred and sixty? This is a rip-off!" Zhang Chulan walked slowly on the stairs and complained about the expensive ticket price.

Hearing this, Huang Ming couldn't help but interrupt and said, "You may not know, Mr. Layman, that now all major sects, as long as they are in deep mountains and forests with nice scenery, will charge admission.

Even our Baiyun Temple requires an entrance fee, unless you have a corresponding Taoist certificate like me."

Zhang Chulan turned around and glanced at Huang Ming who was waving his Taoist certificate.

Then he discovered that there was a strange combination of three generations behind him.

Gongsun Ce now still looks like an elderly Confucian scholar.

Liu Xingyang looks more like a middle-aged man with his big beard.

As for Huang Ming, he looked like a young man with a nagging fear. He waved his Taoist certificate and made eye contact with Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard Huang Ming's words, and asked, "Are there any famous mountains and rivers in the world that don't charge admission? They are all so expensive."

Hearing this, Gongsun Ce smiled and said, "It's natural to charge admission. Don't think that these places are where various alien forces are located. They seem to be able to make money and are not short of money.

But in reality, if these alien forces don’t find a way to make some money, they can’t even afford to repair this broken staircase.”

After saying that, Gongsun Ce stepped on the steps on the ground and continued, "In the past, we could trick the rich into paying a large amount of money for incense offerings or use it all to improve the environment of the mountain gate. Now it is difficult."

Zhang Chulan was silent for a moment and felt that what Gongsun Ce said made sense. If these sects didn't find a way to make some money, they would probably not be able to repair any damaged infrastructure.

Just as they were talking, Wang, who was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe and had two dark circles under his eyes, followed them from behind.

The purpose of his coming was to get acquainted with Zhang Chu, but he had previously read fortunes for Zhang Chulan and Luo Tian Da Jiao in the inner scene, which caused him to suffer a great backlash, so he walked a little slowly.

This resulted in Wang Ye only now catching up with Zhang Chulan's pace.

Gongsun Ce glanced at Wang Ye and said, "Little Taoist priest, you should be more restrained. With your body, you should watch less nonsense and do less manual work.

If you keep going like this, I'm afraid you won't even see tomorrow's sun. This is the first time I've seen someone so exhausted."

After saying this, Gongsun Ce patted Wang Ye on the back, causing Wang Ye to cough.

"Cough cough cough..."

Wang was slapped several times by Gongsun Ce and felt like his lungs were about to be coughed out.

Where did this old man with such strong hands come from? Wang couldn't help but think about this question.

But he was soon attracted by Zhang Chulan. You know, Zhang Chulan's photo had gone viral on Yiren's website.

Who doesn't know this person who didn't study in the Tianshi Temple in Longhu Mountain, but learned the Golden Light Mantra and even the Thunder Method?

"Little Dao Wang has also met this senior and several of them. What the senior just said is correct. Even our Wudang Mountain charges admission.

After all, if you don’t have money, you really can’t even afford to repair the stairs. Look at how many steps have been trampled on.”

The voice with a slight Beijing accent made Zhang Chulan look at Wang Ye a few more times.

At the same time, he also had a very strange feeling, as if Wang was deliberately coming closer to talk to him.

As they were talking, they had already walked up the steps to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

The Taoist temple on the front mountain of Longhu Mountain is actually still public property, and most of the Taoists inside are admitted through examinations rather than becoming apprentices.

Therefore, even the old Taoist priest was not immune to the worldly practices. Outside the Taoist temple in the front mountain, he took photos with the leaders who came to inspect, chatted with some tourists, and accepted interviews from reporters.

Zhang Zhiwei looked energetic, with bright eyes. Apart from his old appearance, he did not look like a man over a hundred years old at all.

Gongsun Ce recalled the Si Ming he met at Baiyun Temple, and then compared him with Zhang Zhiwei.

One could not detect any vitality in Zhang Zhiwei, but Siming already looked somewhat desolate and lonely.

This is the benefit of having a young mentality. Gongsun Ce raised his hand and touched the disguised white beard on his chin, and couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Chulan looked at Zhang Zhiwei, who was making a scissors hand gesture and taking photos with tourists not far away, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

He never expected that the old Taoist priest Zhang Zhiwei, who was so highly respected in his eyes that he could not even meet him unless he made it to the Luotian Dajiao Championship, would be so down-to-earth and take pictures and talk with people.

When Zhang Chulan was still a little surprised, Wang Ye, Liu Xingyang and Huang Ming had already walked up to talk to Zhang Zhiwei.

"Wudang Wang Ye (Liu Xingyang and Huang Ming of Baiyun Temple), pay homage to the old Heavenly Master." Zhang Zhiwei glanced at the three people in front of him who were paying their respects, waved his hand and said, "It turns out to be Little Wang Ye, Little Xingyang, and Little Huang Ming. By the way, Little Wang Ye, how is your master?"

Zhang Zhiwei and Wudang leader Zhou Meng often chatted online and had a good relationship, so he took the initiative to talk to Wang Ye.

Wang Ye stood up straight and said to the old angel with a smile: "My master is fine. He has recently learned how to use a tablet computer. And he was still talking about you a few days ago."

After Zhang Zhiwei smiled and talked to Wang Ye for a few words, he turned to Liu Xingyang and asked, "Xingyang, how is your headmaster?"

Liu Xingyang immediately replied, "It's fine, it's fine, he's fine. And recently there was an old senior who came to discuss the Dao with them. Look, it's this old senior."

After saying that, Liu Xingyang introduced Gongsun Ce to the old Taoist priest, "This old senior Gongsun Ce is extremely powerful and has an extraordinary realm. He is beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."

The moment when Zhang Zhiwei and Gongsun Ce's eyes met.

Gongsun Ce realized that he saw a whale. Although it was not as big as Kunpeng, it was indeed a sperm whale trapped in the shallows.

He clearly had the ability to leave the shallows, but he was trapped in it and unable to break free.

Obviously, Zhang Zhiwei is a gifted person. He actually has the ability to break free from the shackles of this world, but he has bound himself in this world.

He is different from Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng can raise the level of the world to a higher level.

But Zhang Zhiwei couldn't do it. He could only be bound by restrictions in this world and couldn't leave.

After all, no one can tell whether the existence of Tianshidu is a good thing or a bad thing.

After Gongsun Ce and Zhang Zhiwei looked at each other for a moment, they raised their gaze to the top of his head.

In addition to the divine master's blessing on Zhang Zhiwei, Gongsun Ce was more concerned about his luck.

In the center are two swords and a large seal, and around them are clouds, dragons and tigers, floating above his head.

It was the Sanwu Male and Female Evil-Slaying Sword and the Yangping Zhidu Seal. As for the dragon and tiger energy, they represented the inheritance of the Tianshi Mansion.

As a heavenly master, Zhang Zhiwei would naturally enjoy this part of luck.

Gongsun Ce finished observing Zhang Zhiwei and quietly looked away.

Although Gongsun Ce took the initiative to look away, Zhang Zhiwei did not take his eyes off Gongsun Ce.

Because Zhang Zhiwei noticed Gongsun Ce's uniqueness, it was a feeling that transcended this world.

Zhang Zhiwei was very surprised. Could it be that this was some senior who had ascended to heaven and found some way to come back?
But soon, Zhang Zhiwei gave up this idea.

Because Gongsun Ce was wearing something very conspicuous, it was a set of Confucian scholar's attire, and this set of clothes alone was already an attire from the pre-Qin period.

Taoism has the concept of ascension, and Buddhism has the concept of going to the Western Paradise. Only Confucianism believes that once you die, you are dead, and there is no other place to go.

Zhang Zhiwei suppressed his curiosity about Gongsun Ce and turned to look in the direction of Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Zhang Chulan who was walking towards him and couldn't help but sighed: "I never thought that the big-eared thief had such a handsome grandson. Chulan, your grandfather is actually my junior fellow apprentice, so logically, you should call me Master."

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan did not hesitate at all. He bowed 90 degrees to Zhang Zhiwei and shouted, "Master!"

Zhang Zhiwei waved his hand and said, "Chu Lan, wait a moment. When I finish my work, you can chat with me. I also have someone to introduce to you."

So, after dealing with tourists, reporters and leaders, Zhang Zhiwei took Zhang Chulan to a quiet room in the Taoist temple in Qianshan, and the two of them just looked at each other in silence.

Just after Zhang Chulan left, Feng Baobao, who came with Zhang Chulan, was suddenly attracted by an old monk in a cassock on the side of the road.

Gongsun Ce's attention was immediately attracted by Feng Baobao.

He has already analyzed the things in Zhang Zhiwei's body that were within the Heavenly Master's realm.

The restrictions of Tianshidu and Baiyun Temple are similar.

It just gave him some more ideas about the realm of immortals, and the rest were just a bunch of abilities that had been passed down in the Tianshi Mansion for many years.

These abilities include, but are not limited to, the Golden Light Curse, the Five Thunders Spell, and the Heavenly Master Talisman.

So Gongsun Ce's gaze moved towards the direction where Feng Baobao was.

According to what he knew, Feng Baobao was indeed Wu Gensheng's daughter, but what happened to Feng Baobao was still a little mystery.

In addition to caring about Feng Baobao, Gongsun Ce also noticed that something was wrong with the old monk.

Perhaps noticing Gongsun Ce's gaze, the old monk's body trembled unconsciously, as if he recalled some bad memories.

Gongsun Ce felt that there was a certain possibility that the old monk in front of him was Zhou Shengbian.

Gongsun Ce looked at the old monk carefully for a moment, and the other's figure changed in Gongsun Ce's eyes.

It was indeed Zhou Sheng. Gongsun Ce thought for a moment, walked to Zhou Sheng, and suddenly shouted: "Auspicious sign from heaven! The divine object has hidden itself!"

Gongsun Ce's shout successfully attracted Feng Baobao's attention, and also made Zhou Sheng look away guiltily.

Feng Baobao immediately changed the direction he was walking and came to Gongsun Ce and asked, "Old man, what are you selling?"

Gongsun Ce raised his left hand, and in his palm lay a space ring.

"A divine item! The Wanfang Ring has its own space and can store items. It was made by taking the horn of the divine beast Bai Ze from my teacher after he fought him for 80,000 rounds in Longhu Mountain!

Not 98,000, not 9,800, just 998, and take the sacred item home!"

After listening to Gongsun Ce's bragging, Feng Baobao nodded blankly, then took out his wallet and prepared to pay.

"I don't have enough cash. Can I scan the code?" Feng Baobao counted the cash and found that he didn't have enough, so he took out his mobile phone and asked Gongsun Ce if he could scan the code to pay.

"Just scan here." Gongsun Ce nodded, took out his mobile phone, retrieved the payment code and handed it to Feng Baobao.

Just when Feng Baobao was about to scan the code to pay, Xu San rushed up and hugged Feng Baobao to stop her from paying.

"Baby, wake up. This is Longhu Mountain! How can he be a Taoist priest? Besides, Bai Ze is just a legend. Don't be fooled!"

"Good stuff! I want to buy it! I want it!" Feng Baobao struggled frantically.

Just as Feng Baobao was struggling, Gongsun Ce snatched Feng Baobao's unlocked mobile phone, scanned the code, and then handed the phone back to Feng Baobao.
