Yongzhou, as the original large surrounding city, is adjacent to the Demon Domain. If you go north from Yongzhou and pass through the narrow area belonging to the Demon Domain, you will reach the boundary of Daomen, and similarly, if you go east from Yongzhou and pass through the Demon Domain, you will reach the boundary of Confucianism.

Previously, Xuan Jizi first went to Yongzhou from the Daomen realm, and then set off from Yongzhou to enter the Confucian realm, and went to the Canghai Academy to deal with the disappearance of the people in the same sect.

Confucianism is a relatively peculiar sect. Confucian monks all entered the Tao with Confucianism, and this Tao does not refer to Taoism, but refers to the "Tao" of the Great Dao; vernacular, it is to understand the meaning of the human classics, and then be able to practice. This human classic is not just limited to the Confucian classics of the human world, in fact, it contains the hundred schools of thought; but the Confucian classics occupy the mainstream, so outsiders refer to Confucianism as a collective. Confucianism has a distinctive feature, that is, it is people-oriented, and all the classics are based on the activities and development of the human race; even, in Wuxu's view, the practice of Confucian monks is also based on this, and the popularity and aura are combined with the aura to become heroic and righteous. Therefore, among the six sects of Xuanyin, the relationship between Confucianism and Da Zhou, who protects ordinary people, is the most intimate, almost natural ally. This closest ally, in all respects. The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty only intermarried with Confucianism, and many children of the royal family arranged to go to Confucianism to practice, and nine times out of ten the high-level officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were also Confucians.

But Confucianism is a sect of monks after all, and there is another independent system.

In the realm of Confucianism, there is no imperial court system like the Great Zhou, and the sect system is still chosen. The area under its jurisdiction, regardless of the state capital city, is based on the academy. At the heart of it is the Holy College. The Holy Academy is divided into many academies, such as the Canghai Academy. Such a college has many branches, and under the branches, there are other schools, book clubs, and other organizations.

The Holy Academy, with its transcendent status, is mainly responsible for the selection and cultivation of promising Confucian true spiritual monks, as well as handling some external affairs, and rarely interferes in the specific affairs of each college. In the same way, the same is true for the academies, which are mainly responsible for the training of Confucian monks in their regions, as well as the adjudication of some major matters in their jurisdictions. Each branch of the academy is responsible for the specific affairs of one party, and the other schools below are the final management units. Overall, there is some hint of an ideal state, as well as a high degree of confederation autonomy.

Of course, this may also be the appearance of Wuxu's vision.

This time the Xuanyin changed suddenly, and the Confucian Sect, like other sects, expanded without hesitation, almost bloodlessly, and pocketed the Tianyi Mansion in the south of Yanjing Mansion. Its executor is Canghai Academy. That day, the first mansion was adjacent to Confucianism. The owner of his mansion was a son of the former Great Zhou Emperor, who had entered the Canghai Academy to practice. The same is true for many other monks in Tianyifu. Therefore, the lord of Tianyi Mansion took a group of monks to the Zhou Tianxing Great Array, and Canghai Academy only sent more than ten people, and successfully took over Tianyi Mansion, which can be described as a seamless connection.

On this day, on the peak of Qishan Mountain, which is directly under Canghai Academy, on Yunyin Peak, a group of broad-robed monks sat on the ground. Some are holding a roll of bamboo slips and seem to be reading with relish; some are cooking spiritual tea, their movements are graceful and flowing through the clouds; some are idly looking at the sea of clouds around them; and some are slightly closed, as if they are napping。。。。。。。。

After a while, a man in white sitting in a verdant bamboo forest said, "The matter is too big to delay any longer." ”

"Luobo Lake is under the jurisdiction of the Hailan Branch, so naturally the Hailan Branch should handle this matter. A voice came from the crumpled sea of clouds.

"That Xuanjizi is a Daomen True Spiritual Cultivator after all, according to the news from the book club below, this person's cultivation is extraordinary and thoughtful, unless he lays down the Cloud Sea Sword Array, it will be difficult to quietly take it down as before. A black-robed Confucian cultivator sat on a piece of bluestone and frowned slightly, "It's just the Hailan Branch." Now there are not enough people to be deployed. ”

"In order to smoothly take over Tianyi Mansion, the Canglang Branch sent out six true spirits. Another voice sounded immediately, and the implication was that at the moment, it seemed that apart from him, it would be difficult for the Canglang Branch to send someone to assist the Hailan Branch in dealing with Xuanjizi.

It's just a mystery, and in the past, it wasn't a problem at all. But now, many high-level leaders of Canghai Academy have all "soared to the sky" and become "immortals" in the Zhou Tian Star Array. Canghai Academy, now the highest-level monk, is also at the true spirit level, not to mention, the transfer of power, all kinds of open and secret battles, all need time to run in. Therefore, for Xuanjizi, it has not been dealt with for a long time. As for the takeover of Tianyi Mansion, it was planned and arranged by the Confucian Holy Academy a long time ago, and it is incomparable.

Then I thought of a way to lead him to Qishan. The white-clothed Confucian cultivator in the bamboo forest thought for a moment, and when he saw that no one spoke again, he said lightly with a calm face.

For a moment, the peak was quiet again. Gradually, the clouds filled the air, submerging the entire Yunyin Peak like the sea. The Confucian-robed monks, one by one, seemed to be gone.

The mystery in their mouths is sitting on a flat boat at the moment, at ease. However, the Taoist robe of the fairy wind and bones has long been gone, and he is now wearing a robe, barefoot, his hands are thick and black, and he is covered with calluses, like an old fisherman who comes and goes in the wind and waves.

The boat, on the sparkling surface of the lake, swayed slightly, sliding into the depths. Xuan Jizi, standing at the bow of the boat, stretched out his rickety body suddenly, and almost at the same time threw his hands forward, and a fishing net stretched out like clouds and flowing water in the oncoming silver light.

After a few moments, Xuan Jizi retracted the fishing net from underwater. The water was splashing, he sat down with a smile, poured the fish and shrimp into the water tank one by one, and then carefully selected a few.

A pale silver big-headed fish, with its head and tail removed, cut off its nail, and finally cut into almost transparent slices, and a palm-long river prawn, washed with sand, and placed in a clay pot filled with turbid wine。。。。。。。

Soon, an appetizing scent wafted from the bow of the boat.

A figure flew from nowhere, with wide sleeves and pure white, like a cloud on the horizon. In a few moments, the man was standing in the bow of the boat.

"I can't imagine that Daoyou has such skills!" his nose shrank slightly, "If Lin Mou is right, Daoyou should have used the sauce and vinegar and other seasonings of the world?"

Xuan Jizi seemed to be very familiar with this person, and he was not the slightest surprised by his arrival, he just smiled and took out two pots of wine from the storage ring, "I can't imagine that Tong has worked hard to disguise himself, but he still hasn't escaped Lin Daoyou's torch eyes." ”

That Lin Daoyou also smiled at Xuanjizi, like a humble son, but he was not polite at all, and took out a pair of wooden chopsticks like a trick, and directly picked up a piece of steaming fat and fragrant fatty fish fillet. After melting in his mouth, he raised the wine jug that Xuanjizi had just taken out and took a sip directly to his mouth.

Xuanjizi, who seemed to have long been commonplace, shook his head and reached out to pick up a shrimp from the wine jar next to him. At this time, the shrimp is already drunk. Xuanjizi held it, dipped it in the small dish in front of him, dipped it in the sauce, and then elegantly put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.

The aroma of the shrimp meat is mixed with the smell of wine, creating a special smell that overflows from between the lips and teeth of Xuanjizi.

Lin Daoyou, who was on the other side, suddenly let out a small strange scream, and hurriedly picked up a shrimp in the wine tank. After a while, his expression was wonderful, and he was vaguely disgusted, "Xuanji Daoist, why don't you prepare a copy of this small plate for Lin?

Xuan Jizi sneered, "Tong was ordered by the sect to investigate the disappearance of the same sect, and your Canglang Academy not only didn't know anything, but also sent you to follow Tong day and night." Isn't that hospitality?"

Those missing fellow disciples were originally sent out by the Daomen and were stationed in the territory of Hailan Academy. At that time, their leader, who was quite valued by the sect, had been transferred back to the Daomen in advance and prepared to "ascend to heaven". In the absence of a True Spirit Monk, the six of them remained in their quarters, in a small talisman shop. But then there seemed to be some special circumstances, they collectively rushed to travel, and then there was no news.

That Lin Daoyou, smash it, smash it, and smile, "The three sects of Confucianism and Taoism have always been good friends." Our Confucianism and your Taoism are closer to each other, and the relationship is naturally even better. Therefore, all the people in the Taoist sect who come to the Confucian sect are warmly welcomed, and we do our best to provide all kinds of convenience. In this way, there is also a small bad drawback, that is, the people in the Taoist sect, we Confucianism almost never secretly interfere and monitor. ”

"On the same day, Xuanji Daoist friends came to my Hailan Academy to inquire about the traces of several fellow disciples who came to travel. Your Excellency, you will personally inquire and ask us to do our best to investigate. ”

"But during this time, Xuanji Daoist also knew that Xuanyin had changed suddenly, the situation was chaotic, and the few fellow disciples you were talking about were really no news. ”

。。。。。。

He talked endlessly, his mouth was like a river, and his hands were not idle, eating and drinking and talking. This skill made Xuan Jizi a little impressed.

Xuanjizi, while listening, took out a small plate from the storage ring and put it in front of Lin Daoyou. Then, he took out a few jade bottles one after another, and poured the contents into the small dish in front of Lin Daoyou quite stingily.

That Lin Daoyou, eyebrows and smiles, eat more comfortably.

"Uh-huh, this dip is good!"

"Why are Taoist friends so stingy? The so-called friends come from afar, and they are happy? It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all. ”

"The royal family of the Great Zhou, with the help of the Great Array of Zhenguo, went to the sky in one go, and wanted to be the heavenly court of Xuanyin Star. Within our Confucian sect, there is actually a lot of disapproval. ”

So, there are a lot of twists and turns. Who's up and who's down? It's very confusing! So far, it hasn't been sorted out. ”

"So, Xuanji Daoist, you have been staying like this, wandering around, and our dean has to pay attention to it. ”

"Xuanji Daoyou, you can eat it too. ”

。。。。。。

Xuan Jizi, smiling and listening attentively, occasionally moved slowly and methodically, took a sip of wine, and finally said, "Tong was ordered to come, but he found nothing, so he was stranded here and could not go up." But as long as there is definite news, Tong can be reinstated. ”

Speaking of which, Xuan Jizi took out the jade bottles again, "These are some of the flavor seasonings that Tong got in the world. I don't know Lin Daoyou, can you teach me?"

Lin Daoyou, slowly put down the wooden chopsticks in his hand, and calmed down.

In an instant, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the lake was like a mirror.

"Now, I'm afraid that Xuanji Daoist friends will have to go to Yunyin Peak in person, and ask the new dean of Canglang Academy, Bai Yisheng, to issue a codex to explain the reason. Lin Daoyou, while carefully saying slowly, waved his oil-stained sleeves and took away the jade bottles that Xuanjizi took out.

However, a few Daomen monks disappeared for no reason in the boundary of Hailan Academy. The rivers and lakes are sinister, wouldn't it be normal for a few people to die? If the dean of Canglang Academy above personally issued a codex, reported the situation, and explained the reason, those few people would have died, and Xuanjizi would have been able to deal with them.

Xuanjizi nodded solemnly, seemed to agree with it very much, and then said with a smile, "Some of the seasonings in the human world below are indeed different from Xuanyin, and they have a unique flavor. Lin Daoyou can taste it slowly. ”

That Lin Daoyou, full of wine and food, raised his hands, waved his wide-sleeved robe, looked like he was eating in vain, and deliberately said angrily, "Xuanji Daoyou! These things, Lin Mou is actually at his fingertips." The so-called shallow and deep words, Lin only said one sentence, and Daoyou should go to Yunyin Peak as soon as possible. His words were intermittent, and it seemed that he was really drunk and spit out the truth.

Xuanjizi, seeing him leave, his face was a little solemn. After all, it has been several months since he arrived at the realm of Hailan Academy. When he first arrived, he followed the etiquette and visited Hailan Academy as a disciple of Daomen Ziyang Palace, and Hailan Academy was very enthusiastic, and sent the current dean Peng Lai to deal with the matter, and Peng Lai even took time to personally accompany him from time to time to search for more than half a month. But Xuan Jizi faintly felt vigilance from it. When he arrived at Confucianism, he also "ascended to heaven" one after another, and Xuanjizi suddenly realized that it was a critical moment, because Confucianism was cautious. But later, after Peng Lai stayed behind and became the new dean of Hailan Academy, he sent this Lin Feng to keep an eye on him at all times.

In the past few days, based on the previous few months of investigation and secret visits, Xuanjizi had identified a suspicious place, but he was stopped by Na Lin Feng, and he was not accommodating, saying that it was a forbidden place in the academy, and at the same time promised that he would never have anything to do with the same door where Xuanjizi disappeared. After that, Xuan Jizi hid his aura and traces several times, disguised himself, but each time he was recognized by Lin Feng; as long as he was close to a certain range of that place, Lin Feng would take the initiative to show up. Xuanjizi is also a little untricked, although this Lin Feng is greedy, he is a master in tracking. Xuan Jizi strongly suspected that he had cultivated some kind of special secret method.

Originally, what Lin Feng said just now was not a good way. The dean of Canghai Academy here issued a codex to explain the situation. Those missing fellow disciples really can't be found, Xuanjizi has done his best for so long, if it is news in the future, Canghai Academy will definitely report it, so cloudy. The matter has passed for the time being, and Xuanjizi can also make a difference.

Xuan Jizi also probed the wind above. But he was reprimanded, and he strictly ordered Xuan Jizi to do his best to find out about this matter, otherwise he would stay down and stay in the realm of Hailan Academy. Xuan Jizi immediately inquired secretly, and finally got a message from a high-ranking member of the sect.

The missing fellow disciples went out in a hurry, but fortunately, before leaving, one of them, who was relatively old, transmitted a brief report message to the sect through the secret device in the store, with only one sentence and nine words, "There may be a suspected passage."

What is the suspected passage? Where does it lead? Xuanyang Star or Netherworld, or where? Xuanjizi also inquired about it, but it seems that the high-level who revealed the news to him does not know.

is so secret, and the Confucianism is so tightly guarded. Xuanjizi was both solemn and excited in his heart, and faintly felt that if he operated well, the benefits he got might be more valuable than the earlier "ascension to heaven".

Therefore, this time he pretended to be a fisherman, but he didn't really think about hiding it from Lin Feng. He wanted to use food to take the opportunity to paraphrase some of Lin Feng's words. Sure enough, Lin Feng, who is usually cautious, still said that he missed his mouth when he was feasting.

Some of the spices in the world below, Xuan Jizi can conclude that Lin Feng has not tasted them before, so naturally there is no way to obtain these; But when Xuanjizi pointed out the source of the seasoning, when he left, he said that these things were actually at his fingertips!

Then, at this time, Xuanjizi concluded that the so-called "suspected channel" should be the passage from Xuanyin Star to the human world. Such a channel, most likely, is not stable and cannot exist forever, which is equivalent to a loophole, random and short-lived. But what is the use of such a channel?

Could it be that there are still some great treasures hidden in the world? Xuan Jizi thought about it for a while, and then he denied it. He was originally from the human world, so he naturally knew that there were many extraterrestrial cultivators who came to the human world. If there is any great treasure, it will either be taken away, or the monks who go down will remain in the world.

Xuanjizi, while thinking, slowly drank wine on the leftovers. This drink is a few hours.

The great array of stars in the sky manifested a faint starlight, the turquoise lake became dim, and the fish and shrimp under the water seemed to have dived into the depths.

Xuan Jizi, his cheeks were crimson, he spit out the smell of wine, and lay down directly on the bow of the boat.

After a few moments, a deep shadow rose from the bow of the ship. This dark shadow, like a cloud of night mist, inhuman, clinging to the slightly wrinkled surface of the lake, quickly and silently dispersed into the distance.

After another moment, a faint shadow drifted from the bow of the ship, blending into the night and drifting away with the wind. If Su Ji is here, he will naturally know that the nine changes of Xuanying, the incarnation of yin qi, at first look like a ghost, but when he cultivates to the depths, as long as the body is full of righteous qi, his incarnation will be like the body of the bardo, and even like the Confucian cultivation of the yin body.

More than 100 miles away from the boat where Xuanjizi is located, there is a small island in the lake, with a radius of no more than 100 meters. In the past, it was a temporary resting place.

But now, around the island, there are many new pavilions, high and low, and then a circular corridor connects the places. Another arrangement lifted the water from the outside of the promenade and poured it into it from a high place, submerging the island and turning it into a small artificial lake, a lake within a lake. The lake water comes in and out, and fish and shrimp also come in and out. However, it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to approach. Because, this place has become an annex of Hailan Academy, and at the entrance of the water pavilion in the south direction, there is a plaque hanging, with four big characters in the middle "Yuhu Courtyard", and the inscription is Hailan Academy.

Lin Feng, who had been full of wine and food at the bow of the Xuanjizi boat before, had a clear face, and sat under the plaque, at the entrance of the courtyard. There is a long table in front of him, and there is an incense burner at one end, and the four treasures of the study room at the other, and a painting in the middle. Lin Feng stared intently at the scroll on the long table, motionless. In the scroll, there is only one point of light, which is also motionless.

Lin Feng looked at it for a long time, suddenly raised his head slightly, looked in a certain direction, and then lifted his pen and lightly touched the painting scroll. A new point of light appears on the scroll.

This new point of light was moving rapidly in the painting scroll, Lin Feng thought about it in his heart, looked at it for a moment, couldn't help but show a wry smile, got up and flew out.
