Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 14 Waiting for “Revelation”

At the top of the peak, the vegetation is lush and green, and the sound of birds can be heard faintly.

There is a vast and flat open space on the top of the mountain, and there is no sign of bitter cold. The warblers are flying and the grass is growing, giving it a spring scenery.

Twelve majestic white jade stone pillars 12 feet high form a circle, occupying the [-] Yuan Chen position.

Between the white jade stone pillars, the wall is built with cyan "Xuanhu stone", reaching two-thirds of the height of the stone pillars.

But the wall is not continuous, but spaced between virtual and real spaces. There are 12 stone pillars, six sides are built with walls, and six sides are left blank, scattered in sequence.

It is hard to imagine that this "square" with no roof, walls or continuity is actually the main hall of the Hongfa Hall of the Immortal Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty.

At this moment, a bluestone chessboard was placed at the center of the twelve stone pillars.

On the bluestone chessboard, black and white are clear, and there are dozens of moves.

On both sides of the game, one is a handsome man in Tsing Yi, the master of the Snow Lion Hall of the Demon Suppressing Division.

The other one was an old man with gray hair and long eyebrows. He was wearing a shabby bainai coat, a deerskin scarf on his head, and holding a large purple gold pipe that was two feet long.

The old man has a leisurely manner, puffing out smoke and blowing smoke rings one after another, which condense and never disperse.

Behind the old man, stood a middle-aged man with a dark face.

This man was of short stature, carrying two long swords on his back, and had a shallow splayed pattern under his cheekbones. He had a serious expression and was watching the battle with his arms folded.

A little further behind the man in Tsing Yi, there was also a person standing there, it was Liang Hongbo who had just returned.

But Liang Hongbo's mind was obviously not on the chess game, and he looked at the bronze mirror in his palm from time to time.

The old man dropped his son and said with a smile: "Which secret realm does Hall Master Ji think the person you recommend should go to?"

The man in Tsing Yi was not in a hurry to make a move, and while examining the board, he said leisurely: "Nowadays, the Secret Realm of Star Ruins is strictly ordered and the rules are clear. As long as the seed players who have the potential to rank in the top three in the six subjects, six or seven out of ten will enter the 'Nine Wings' 'Secret realm. This kid is probably no exception."

"What do you think, Dean Wen?"

The Immortal Dynasty of the Jin Dynasty had three divisions and six courtyards. Among the six courtyards, Fang Chen Yuan had the most important responsibilities and was in charge of various affairs. It ranked first among the six courtyards.

This old man is none other than Wen Hua, the dean of Fang Chen Academy.

Dean Wen gently twirled his beard and said with a smile: "I hope it is as you said."

At this moment, a clear voice shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, are you okay?"

Next to the bluestone chessboard, there is a bronze sundial more than three feet high, with a yellowstone copper needle, fine markings and ancient charm.

At this time, red light appeared on the sundial, condensing like water, and turning into a human figure three feet tall.

Her appearance gradually became clear, and she was a cute girl with braids and a red bellyband.

Liang Hongbo quickly nodded and bowed, and said with a half-flattery, half-coaxing smile: "Don't worry, my lord, it's coming soon."

The girl yawned, glistening drool dripping from the corner of her mouth, and her words were unclear: "Hurry up, hurry up. It's too hot here, it's uncomfortable."

She sat on the yellow stone copper needle of the sundial and swayed her legs. The copper needle, as thick as a finger, left deep marks on her chubby buttocks.

Liang Hongbo once told Xu Zhenyun that the pass rate of the "Star Ruins Secret Realm" assessment has increased significantly. The reason is that more and more information has been circulated, and the "material" for calculations has become more and more abundant.

As long as you tell the "preview" what you see, you can get three "enlightenments" through a secret treasure of the Jin Dynasty, the "Tianguan Four Symbols", which will greatly improve your confidence in passing the level.

The sundial-shaped treasure in front of you is the Four Symbols of Tianguan.

The girl is the treasure spirit of the Four Symbols of Tianguan.

But what Liang Hongbo did not mention to Xu Zhenyun was that the "revelation" of most of the disciples was provided by the derived treasures of Tianguan Sixiangyi, and did not require the actual treasure to take action.

People in Tsing Yi always do things their own way and don't stick to the rules.

Since even the Star Ruins Secret Realm assessment has been postponed for half a day for the first time, it doesn't matter that the Labor Tianguan Four Symbols body is used to improve the accuracy of the "revelation".

After all, Xu Zhenyun carries the legacy of Xu Fengzhi.

The dark-faced man behind Dean Wen, who was carrying two swords, suddenly frowned slightly and seemed a little displeased.

At this moment, the bronze mirror held by Liang Hongbo was changing in light and dark, and the colorful streams of light were jumping around, seeming to show changes in images.

Liang Hongbo perked up and said loudly: "The message has been sent back."

The man in Tsing Yi then made a move and said with a smile: "Postponing the Star Ruins Secret Realm assessment and borrowing the Tianguan Four Symbols Instrument are all reasons for obeying the authority in a hurry. It is rare for Dean Wen to be accommodating. Today's incident will be kept in mind by Ji."

Dean Wen shook his head and said: "No need to say thank you. If an ordinary fourth-grade monk made such an excessive request, how could Wen pay any attention to it? But the one who spoke was Ji Xiaohua, the number one in the world's monuments and the number one in the fourth grade in the world, so what? It’s another matter.”

The man in green raised his eyebrows.

With Old Man Wen's tact and smoothness, it can't help but be a surprise for him to say such explicit words.

He understood the other party's good intentions and thought about how to respond appropriately.

Dean Wen picked up a piece and was about to drop it; but his arm suddenly froze in mid-air.

Almost at the same time, the black-faced man behind him with two swords on his back opened his eyes wide, and a sharp edge shot straight into the sky!
The man in Tsing Yi seemed to have thought of something and immediately looked at the bronze mirror.

Liang Hongbo was startled and lowered his head suddenly.

At this time, the image in the bronze mirror had stabilized - it was a cylindrical white platform, like a huge bamboo joint.

The image rotates, and the maple leaf shape on the back flashes away.

"Clap" sound.

The Dean of Literature picked up the chess piece with two fingers and dropped it on the chessboard.

Ji Xiaohua stared at the bronze mirror, her voice was light but precise, as if she was deliberately suppressing the shock in her heart: "The main secret realm - Liuhe Linglong Tower!"

Liang Hongbo looked dull and turned into a statue.The eerie silence lasted for more than ten breaths.

The black-faced man behind Dean Wen, carrying two swords on his back, broke the silence with a heavy snort: "I'm just saying, rules are rules and should not be taken lightly."

"The news that the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty postponed the Star Ruins Secret Realm assessment for the sake of a newly discovered genius is known to the world."

There was a strong sarcasm in his tone: "Then this highly anticipated genius chose the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda in the trial of the Star Ruins Secret Realm, and fell on the eve of his entry into the Tao?"

"Once the news gets out, the world will laugh!"

"This is the shame of the Jin Dynasty!"

Ji Xiaohua said solemnly: "Vice President Chen is still so irritable."

The black-faced man is Chen Hanfeng, the vice president of Fang Chenyuan.

Chen Hanfeng's eyebrows straightened up, like a sharp sword: "Even if you are number one on the Earth Ranking, you are only in the fourth rank. You can't teach me how to do things!"

Ji Xiaohua said: "Do you know who I specially recommend?"

Chen Hanfeng said coldly: "It's not important."

Ji Xiaohua said slowly: "This is Xu Zhenyun, son of Xu Fengzhi."

Chen Hanfeng's pupils suddenly condensed, but he still said coldly: "You value Xu Fengzhi's inheritance, but I don't."

"Between heaven and earth, the first priority is rules, the second priority is reputation; the rest are insignificant!"

Ji Xiaohua rolled her eyes and said unceremoniously: "What is Qingming? Can it be used as food?"

Dean Wen smiled and smoothed things over: "Why are you so angry?"

Then he stretched out his sleeves, wiped the slightly wet holder of the pipe, handed it to Chen Hanfeng, and said with a smile: "Old Chen, take a sip? To calm down."

Chen Hanfeng leaned back slightly with a look of disgust on his face: "Don't smoke! Smoking is harmful to health."

Dean Wen's expression was calm and his tone was soothing: "Being selected by the Liuhe Linglong Pagoda actually shows that Xu Zhenyun is indeed extraordinary and worthy of being the son of Xu Fengzhi; making an exception for him as a 'special recommendation' just shows that I am a Taoist and Zen practitioner in the Jin Dynasty. Discerning vision.”

"It's a pity to die in the Liuhe Exquisite Tower... But I can't regret it after the 'preview'. This is the rule of the Star Ruins Secret Realm, and there's nothing we can do about it..."

Ji Xiaohua frowned, seeming to be thinking about a countermeasure.

Dean Wen thought for a while and continued: "Of course, this matter is serious and needs to be reported to His Majesty and the First Lord."

"If His Majesty and the First Lord don't express their opinions, then we can only let nature take its course."

Chen Hanfeng's cold light remained the same, but he stopped talking.

Dean Wen turned his head, looked at the girl sitting on the sundial and swung her legs, and said with a smile: "Can you, Sir, be a dead horse and become a living horse doctor, deduce some enlightenment, and slightly increase the success rate of Liuhe Linglong Tower?"

The girl blinked her big eyes and whispered: "If you say you can't, it seems difficult to ask for payment..."

The girl smiled and said slyly: "The revelation is there, but there is no guarantee that it will be useful."

As soon as the words fell, the girl's entire body turned transparent and shimmered, like a little golden man.

The bronze pointer on the sundial immediately cast a flexible shadow that circled the yellow stone base and quickly rotated three times.

Finally, it turned into a stream of light, blessing a bright yellow scroll that appeared out of thin air.

Then the scroll suddenly rushed into the bronze mirror held in Liang Hongbo's palm and disappeared without a trace.

The girl clapped her little hands and said happily: "Thirty thousand kilograms of purple pure jade paste will be delivered within three days."

As soon as she finished speaking, her small body turned into a stream of light and was reflected in the sundial.

……

Xu Zhenyun's home.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the bronze mirror held by County Magistrate Li suddenly flashed with light.

The mirror sank deeply, like a whirlpool; then an eight-inch-long bright yellow scroll suddenly jumped out of it.

At this time, the bronze mirror was directly opposite Xu Zhenyun, and the scroll fell right in front of Xu Zhenyun, who quickly reached out and took it.

Magistrate Li smiled and said: "Your book of inspiration for passing the customs has arrived."

Xu Zhenyun was amazed.

He thought that the so-called "revelation" was the same as when he left, that pictures or words were presented in the mirror light; he did not expect that the bronze mirror was only used to convey messages, but could also convey physical objects.

With anticipation, Xu Zhenyun opened the scroll.

At a glance, it was like thunder in my mind!
The scroll contained several lines of crooked and very sloppy writing, but the first few words were shocking:
"The name of the secret realm we entered: Liuhe Linglong Pagoda."

Xu Zhenyun was slightly absent-minded for a few seconds before his eyes wandered downward——

"The cumulative number of arrivals: 860."

"Cumulative number of successes: zero."

"Cumulative number of survivors: zero."

Behind it are a few lines of small characters, which look like the ink is still wet, as if they were added temporarily——

"Enlightenment from passing the level:
One: Write a suicide note.

Two: Have a full meal.

Three: Find people you know and do something you love. "
