The town is full of oceans, and Weining shakes the sea. The tide swells and the silver mountain fish enters the hole, and the waves turn over the snow and the lips leave the abyss. The corner of the wood fire is separated from the accumulated soil, and the east and west cliffs are towering on the top of the danger. On the cliff, the colorful phoenix sings, and the unicorn lies alone in front of the cliff. There are longevity deer, fairy foxes, spirit birds, and dark birds in the forest. Yao grass and strange flowers are not grateful, green pines and cypresses are elusive. A fairy breath penetrates the sky, and infinite wonders are in the eyes.

Jinao Island, since ancient times, has been known as the East China Sea Immortal Island, the Tongtian Sect Master created the Interception Dojo in the Zizhi Cliff Biyou Palace, and the Xuanmen was magnified, making the island's fame resounding throughout the Three Realms, compared to the Eight Views Palace, the Yuxu Palace is more than equal.

The fairy island is vast, more than 100 miles longitudinally and horizontally, suspended above the East China Sea, shrouded in fog and glow all the year round, a picture of auspicious scenery. And the whereabouts of this island are uncertain, making it impossible to find out the exact location, which adds a bit of mystery to this island.

Mystery can arouse people's curiosity, making people have an inexplicable awe, Tongtian Sect Master chose the dojo here, I have to say that his vision is unique.

Deng Jiugong was able to enter this island, it was by the benefit of his mount, he rode the jade unicorn, walked slowly, and did not see a single figure along the way. Zheng Jue was strange, at this time, a gust of wind blew in the air, the wind dissipated, and a Taoist with a scarf on his head appeared, he looked at Deng Jiugong in surprise, stepped forward and made a joke, and said: "Poor Dao is Sun De, a person who refines qi on Penglai Island, and has seen Taoist friends." ”

Deng Jiugong returned the salute and said, "Deng Jiugong of Sanshanguan, Taoist friends are invited." ”

Sun De has lived overseas for many years and has never heard of this name, but he saw Deng Jiugong riding a unicorn, with extraordinary momentum, a tall person, not to be underestimated. Busy said with a pleasant face: "Where are the three mountains, it is not from here that Daoyou is here." ”

Deng Jiugong smiled in his heart, pretending to be profound: "No, Deng Mou came from where he came from and went everywhere." ”

When Sun De heard this, he felt that the other party was unfathomable, and he thought to himself, this person is afraid that he is an immortal who has become famous in recent years, and he must inquire about Deng Jiugong's name when he goes back, and he will not be rude when he sees him next time.

"Deng Daoyou, I've heard of the martial arts conference. ”

Although Deng Jiugong said that he was invited by the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit, he didn't know anything about the martial arts conference, and looking at Sun De's tone, he seemed to understand quite well, so he said: "Deng only heard that the sect was going to hold a grand meeting in the past few days, but he didn't know that it was a martial arts conference. ”

Sun Dekan said: "It turns out that Taoist friends don't know, this martial arts conference has been around for a long time, and I heard that it was quite popular during the Yan Emperor period, and it was personally presided over by the Tongtian Sage, who selected strong talents for the interception of Taoism and entrusted them with important tasks. It is precisely because of advocating this martial spirit that the sect has become the world's first Xuanmen, with great momentum, and the position of the leader of the Daomen has been until now. ”

Deng Jiugong exclaimed: "I see, no wonder the sect is so huge. ”

"Yes, there are many people in the sect, and there are monks in the world, and half of the ten people are sectarians. ”

When it comes to the interception of the sect, Sun De looks extremely envious, he has always wanted to join the interception sect, but no one has introduced him, so he can only hide on Penglai Island to practice. This time, when I heard about the martial arts conference, I came to Jinao Island to meet Yuanqi to see if I could be lucky enough to worship under the sect of the Interception Sect Immortals.

Deng Jiugong nodded undeniably, since the Interception Sect has the grand event of "Ten Thousand Immortals Come to the Dynasty", there must be nearly 10,000 immortals under the Tongtian Gate, what a huge number, almost monopolizing the cultivation world.

"Fellow Daoist, Deng has something to understand, how many years has this martial arts conference been held, where it is held, and whether the identity of the participants must be to intercept the sect. "Since it is a grand event of interception, it is inevitable that the immortals will be present, including the high-ranking Tongtian Saint, Deng Jiugong is a little excited, he is not worried about being scared by the immortals, but it is good for him to know more about the conference.

Sun Dedao: "It was originally held once every three hundred years, but when it came to the period of the emperor, this grand event was suspended. As for the venue in the Yuntai Square in the center of the island, there is no restriction on identity, and monks from all over the world can participate, but the premise is that they must be strong in Taoism and hold a jade plaque to participate. ”

Deng Jiugong was puzzled: "According to Deng's shallow opinion, this martial arts conference has the spirit of promoting morality, why should it be stopped." ”

Sun De shook his head and said, "I don't know." It's just that after a few conferences, the Tongtian Sage determined the status of the immortals, first the four inner disciples, then the seven immortals, then the nine Yao, the twenty-eight stars, and finally the outer disciples, headed by the four brothers and sisters of Zhao Gongming. ”

Deng Jiugong was silent, the interception of the sect was uneven, and it had a lot to do with the Tongtian Sect Master and his four major disciples, maybe in the early stage, the interception of the sect was a Xuanmen sect that promoted Taoism and spread the world, but there were more and more people in the sect, and it could not be managed, so there was a problem with the execution of the sect and deviated from the original doctrine, so it became the current situation, as if it had fallen into the side door.

In the original book, in the face of the defeat of the Zhuxian Array, the Interception Sect placed the Ten Thousand Immortal Array, Lao Tzu saw the immortals and said something to Yuan Shi: "He taught these disciples." In my opinion, it is always indiscriminate regardless of category, regardless of the depth of the root, how can it be a person who has become an immortal, with an empty immortal name, but no immortal bones!"

Although Lao Tzu's words have the meaning of belittling the Tongtian Sect Master and exalting himself, it also shows the current situation of intercepting the sect.

As the saying goes, there are big difficulties, and small benefits are small. The stall of the sect is large, the forces are complicated, and it is normal for loopholes to appear in the management of the four major disciples alone, and to put it bluntly, there is no perfect management system for the sect. Even if he was the master of the Tongtian Sect, his disciples only respected him, and the will given to him was not seriously implemented to the end, so there was a matter of the disciples going to the Xiqi battlefield one after another.

There are no rules, there is no circle, the Tongtian Sect Master is too partial to the sect people, which causes his prestige to be damaged, and the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, as the four major disciples, took the lead in disobeying the orders of the Tongtian Sect Master, and fought against Guangchengzi in the Biyou Palace, not to mention the other sects.

Thinking of this, Deng Jiugong couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying in his heart that he couldn't worry about his own affairs, and he still had time to worry about the interception of the sect, which was really unfounded. Even though the sect is full of dangers, it is still full of scenery.

"Deng Daoyou, why don't you and I go together and go to Yuntai Square, where the immortals gather, it must be a lively scene. ”

Seeing that Deng Jiugong didn't speak for a long time, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Sun De took the initiative to invite, he had the heart to make friends with this Taoist friend from Sanshan Pass. After all, from his point of view, Deng Jiugong's aura is restrained, and he is afraid that his cultivation is not below him.

Deng Jiugong hurriedly said: "Deng also has this intention. ”

The two of them walked slowly, the martial arts meeting will start tomorrow, and there is still plenty of time, with this effort, you can take a good look at the scenery of the island. After walking for a while, Deng Jiugong became more and more admired, he had been to Penglai Island, and he had also been to the back mountain of the True Monarch of Morality, all of which were fairylands, but compared with Jinao Island, the gap was far away, and he only knew now what the real Dongtian Holy Land was.
