On the top of the Eight Views Palace, under an ancient pine, there is an old man, who is over the age and introverted, as if he is an ordinary old man, sitting there as if he is in a meditation.

Looking down here, you can just overlook Xu Ran who climbed the bluestone steps below.

When he saw that Xu Ran did not show anger, anger and other expressions on his face, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he was so difficult for him, the other party should be angry, but why was it an excited expression.

The old man is the master of the Eight Views Palace, Taishang Laojun, and also has the names of Master Xuanxuan, Yuanyang God and so on.

Now that Buddhism and Taoism are prosperous, he and other strong people of the older generation have entered the world by incarnation, and their ontology has disappeared from the world, because they themselves have reached an extremely high level of cultivation, and it is difficult for the outside world to have something to attract them.

Occasionally, I find some Chaos Treasure born, or disciples with good qualifications, so I am interested in taking a trip.

And last time, he accepted a disciple with extremely good qualifications, which was a little apprentice he accepted after living in seclusion for more than 100,000 years.

He had an incarnation that used his natal life to sit in the heavenly court and refined dozens of pills, but unfortunately he was stolen by a monkey head and the other half was stolen by a cultivator.

The other party has some creation, not to mention stealing the golden pill, but also cultivating the fiery eyes.

That monkey is a person who learns scriptures from the West, and he also calculated that the other party will be suppressed by Rulai Wuzhishan for 500 years, which can be regarded as a punishment for stealing Jindan.

But this young man must be punished, even if the Heavenly Court is the incarnation, but it is also his incarnation, this young man stealing the golden pill is equivalent to slapping him in the face.

However, just when he was about to punish this young man, his little apprentice begged him to let him go, so he let the other party come to Bajing Palace, and if the other party passed his own test, then the previous grievances would be written off.

On the stairs, Xu Ran gritted his teeth, and with each step forward, the pressure increased by one point, so that if he didn't take a step forward now, he would be tired and panting, and Xu Ran sat on the bluestone slab panting.

Looking up, there is at least two-thirds of the way to go.

Xu Ran was so desperate that even if he was exhausted, he probably wouldn't be able to climb up, because the force pressing on his body was too vast, just like the sky falling, pressing Xu Ran's hunchback.

"Dead old man, isn't it sick to call me here and make it so difficult for me" Xu Ran thought indignantly in his heart.

Although he despised Taishang Laojun's small belly chicken intestines in his heart, Xu Ran was surprised to find that after he came here, he didn't see anyone.

You must know that Taishang Laojun is one of the three Qings, he has lived for I don't know how many years, and he should educate countless disciples, but there is no one in this Bajing Palace.

If it weren't for the fact that there was a palace in the mountains, Xu Ran would have mistakenly thought that he had fallen on a desert island.

After resting for a while, Xu Ran climbed up step by step with his indomitable willpower, sweating like rain, and I don't know how long it took, Xu Ran finally couldn't hold on, he was confused, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and passed out.

"Under my pressure, being able to walk up to five hundred steps can be regarded as a great perseverance" Just when Xu Ran passed out, Taishang Laojun, who was sitting under the ancient pine, nodded with satisfaction.

The bluestone staircase below is the evolution of Taishang Laojun, the bluestone staircase is contaminated with the breath of his saint, full of vast coercion, and it is good that ordinary immortals can carry the sage's coercion to advance two hundred steps.

And Xu Ran has advanced five hundred steps, and his tenacity and perseverance far exceed that of ordinary immortals, even Taishang Laojun has to admit that this is a good seedling.

With a wave of his robe, I saw Xu Ran, who was unconscious on the bluestone slab, held up by an invisible force and slowly floated towards it.

"This kid is definitely not an unknown person, I want to see who his master is, if there is no master, I can consider accepting a disciple" Taishang Laojun muttered to himself, and then began to calculate.

The saint cultivates, the existence at the peak of the Journey to the West, knows the past, understands the future, is omnipotent, and it is easy to calculate a person's origin.

"Well, it's this old monster, this old monster is not dead" After a while, Taishang Laojun was slightly surprised.

"It turned out to be his disciple, this kid is blessed, then I won't take away people's good" Taishang Laojun was surprised for a few seconds, and said with a slight smile.

When Xu Ran woke up again, he found himself in a futon, which was a large hall full of majesty and an icy aura, the hall was very ordinary, only a few oil lamps were on.

Xu Ran rubbed his head with a headache, he remembered the previous things, because he was in a coma, he couldn't remember the things that happened later, maybe after he passed out, Taishang Laojun brought him here.

"You're awake," Leng Buding's childish voice came.

Xu Ran turned his head and saw a Taoist boy who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a delicate appearance and pure eyes, looking at him with clear and transparent eyes.

"You are Dao Ancestor's apprentice," Xu Ran asked.

Taishang Laojun is a saint, and now that he has come to the other party's territory, Xu Ran naturally will not call him by his name, but call the other party's Dao ancestor, which is a respect for Taishang Laojun.

In the other party's place, don't dare to hold it up.

"I'm not an apprentice of Dao Ancestor, I'm a Dao Tong," Dao Tong corrected.

Dao Tong is different from apprentices, Dao Tong is to serve Dao Ancestor's daily life, take care of general trivial matters, although Dao Ancestor will also preach his Taoism, but it is just an ordinary Taoism.

The apprentice is the person who preaches the Dharma from the Dao Ancestor.

The difference between the identities of Dao Tong and his disciple is 108,000 miles.

"Dao Ancestor is already waiting at the Eight Views Palace, saying that you will go to see him when you wake up," Dao Tong said.

Xu Ran said: "Then you lead the way."

Daotong took Xu Ran out of the main hall and came outside, outside was a bluestone slab inlaid dam, which looked like it had been some years, and there was a sound of chirping around.

Because there are a lot of psychic monkeys jumping around in the surrounding trees.

There is also a group of psychic birds, as for what species, Xu Ran doesn't know.

Following Dao Tong all the way, about five minutes, he came to a majestic palace, on the door plaque, the three big characters of 'Bajing Palace' were written, and the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, with a sense of pressure.

"Dao Ancestor is inside, you go in" Dao Tong said as he stood at the door.

Xu Ran cautiously walked in, and saw an old man in a white robe sitting on the futon, with white hair and closed eyes, looking similar to an ordinary old man.

"This is Taishang Laojun, it looks quite ordinary," Xu Ran muttered in his heart.

Then when he raised his head, he saw a huge palace lamp hanging above his head, and there was a purple flame in the palace lamp, flashing with a strange purple light, that is, this purple flame, illuminating the dark hall.

"Burning Sky Purple Fire" Seeing this flame, Xu Ran's heart thumped.
