When leaving Jingyang Academy, Professor Xu gave Lin Shan a map with the approximate geographical landmarks of the continent on it.
The Fenglei Pavilion mentioned in Lin Fan's letter is located outside the northwest of Song Dynasty, also hundreds of thousands of miles away, but not far from the meeting point of this trip's original destination, 'Bozhou'.
After roughly estimating the distance between the two, Lin Shan decided that before Shui Bingyue could gather the troops and there was still half a year before the meeting, he would simply go to Fenglei Pavilion to have a look first and find out where his Fengling Kung Fu was.
He took out the insect boat, jumped on it and started a long journey slowly.
Along the way, the little fox girl took the initiative to ask Ying to take the helm, and the insect boat went straight in the preset direction.
He hid in the cabin to practice, and the Nirvana clone meditated in the Star Mansion.
This time, because I had the consciousness to go far away, I specially prepared a lot of cordyceps and stuffed them into the Jilang nest, including a large amount of volcanic spiritual rock mined in Liluan Mountain.
The mission given to the little fox girl is to cultivate a fire-breathing purgatory molten worm!
However, this does not happen overnight, it requires a lot of time and massive resources to screen and evolve.
Most of the time, he experienced no man's land.
Most of the continent in this world is filled with barren mountains and rivers that are not suitable for cultivation. The spiritual energy is thin and the poisonous miasma is accumulating. Not to mention humans, even the demon clan is not willing to live here.
It is precisely these places that hide many secrets unknown to the outside world.
Some secluded sects, or solitary ascetic cultivators, like to hide inside and avoid the world.
The little fox girl was very curious about these places. She sat on the bow of the boat all day long and stared at the earth in a daze. However, she had no desire to explore the forest and mountains in the cabin, and she did not have the courage to wander around in private.
By the time we arrived at the map point, it was already a month later.
Fenglei Pavilion is located in Chaozhou.
An inconspicuous one among the state capitals on the long and narrow west coast, it is a first-class sect in itself.
The master of the pavilion, Feng Haochuan, is said to be a big shot at the pinnacle of Jindan. He is in charge of the state's cultivation world. He can turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain.
The local local snakes all respect him!
However, this force is relatively well-known in the state. In the neighboring state capitals, it is basically not very well-known and relatively conservative.
The policy of the pavilion is to guard its own one-third of an acre of land, not to expand, not to cause trouble, not to conflict, and to focus on managing its own territory, so it has never experienced major turmoil.
There have been many changes that can be counted on one hand, but every time they have been saved by relying on the foundation of the founding of the sect, and they have survived to this day.
When Lin Shan was there and briefly inquired about the local cultivation world, it was unexpected that the person with the highest cultivation level in the entire sect was the sect master at the peak of the Golden Core!
Originally imagined,
The Zixiao Sect's abandoned disciple Ouyang Feng, a sect established by such geniuses, after thousands of years of development, should not be said to be a top sect, but at least have Nascent Soul Stage monks in charge.
But I didn't expect that it was just one state that would dominate.
The things that gave him a headache suddenly became easier.
Since the other party is just an ordinary sect, then as a Nascent Soul Stage monk, there is no need to take any detours in overt and covert investigations.
Just go forward and worship the mountain openly.
"Dong~dong~dong~dong~dong~"
In the attic at the top of the cliff, a large, ancient bell rang for the first time in nearly a century, and it rang five times in a row!
It represents the arrival of the Nascent Soul stage or the fifth level Demon King or above.
I saw streaks of escaping light flying out from the mountains and down the mountain. Five people stood in a row, facing the visitors from the sky together.
"Welcome to you, senior. Fenglei Pavilion is a little overdue. If you have any advice, please come into the pavilion and let me wait for your hospitality!"
The leader is a middle-aged man who is at the peak of his golden elixir and has gray hair on his temples. He speaks impeccably and is the master of the Fenglei Pavilion.
The other four people are all Jindan Zhenren, three men and one woman, all with old faces.
The disciples all over the mountain below were also alarmed by the battle, and they all came out to see what was going on.
I saw a white-shirted young man in the sky, with a little maid standing behind him. With the support of several senior officials, he entered the treasure pavilion on the top of the cliff, the symbol of their sect.
Now whispers arose, and everyone was talking.
"Who is this? Why does it look so unfamiliar?"
"I don't know, but the person who can greet our sect master and the four elders at the same time and call him senior must be a powerful person in the Nascent Soul stage!"
"Our sect has always been stubborn. Is there any Nascent Soul stage power that we have good relations with outside?"
"Who knows? Maybe it's a legacy from our ancestors. Don't forget that our pavilion also produced True Lord Nascent Soul back then!"
At this time, there was a disciple with hesitant eyes, asking around with uncertainty.
"Do you have any better eyesight? How do I see the visitor? He seems to be a teenager?"
"I was just about to say this too!"
"Oh, I saw it too. I was afraid that I was dazzled and didn't expect it to be the same!"
"A boy in the Nascent Soul stage? A boy in the Nascent Soul stage???"
Many disciples touched their beards and were in disbelief and fell into self-doubt. How could they have heard of the rumors of the young Yuanying in this corner of the world?
In the attic.
The master of Fenglei Pavilion personally invited Lin Shan to the seat of honor and sat next to him, while the four elders sat under the stage to show their respect.
Although the location is remote, the etiquette here is indeed thoughtful, and Lin Shan, who has been staying in Lu for a long time, can't fault it.
"Senior, you are here to welcome us, and our pavilion is full of splendor! The last time someone from the Nascent Soul stage visited me was two hundred years ago. I was still a little baby at that time, and my master, the previous pavilion master, personally received me."
This pavilion master is very able to enliven the atmosphere, speaks quickly and is extremely attentive.
"My master was also in the Nascent Soul stage at that time. It is my generation's turn to lose face. It is a pity that I am not qualified to communicate with my seniors."
Lin Shan heard what this guy said and he was also a wonderful person, so he asked out of curiosity.
"Oh? Your master is also a Nascent Soul Stage monk? Then he is now."
Pavilion Master Feng Haochuan paused and sighed.
"The master has already passed away, just two and a half years ago."
If you count on your fingers, one hundred and fifty years is not that long.
Lin Shan asked tentatively:
"Who is your master, True Lord Fenglei Ouyang Feng?"
Feng Haochuan was a little surprised. He glanced at the elders below and found that they all looked confused. He suppressed his own doubts and answered his question first.
"No, Ouyang Feng is the founder of the sect, and his family mentor is Lord Lei Feng, Ouyang Shuo." Seeing that Lin Shan didn't say anything, he continued to wait for him to continue, so he had to explain the origin of the story clearly.
"There are currently three pavilion masters in Fenglei Pavilion. They are Ouyang Feng, the founder of the sect, Ouyang Shuo, the second generation pavilion master, and I will be the third generation master."
"My master, Ouyang Shuo, was the adopted son of Patriarch Ouyang Feng. He inherited what the Patriarch had learned. Later, when he broke through the Nascent Soul stage, in order to distinguish him from his master's dharma title, the order was changed."
"The ancestor Feng Lei Zhenjun Feng, the family master Lei Feng Zhenjun Lei, both of them have wind and thunder double spiritual roots. They can be said to be geniuses among geniuses in the world of cultivation!"
"As for me"
Feng Haochuan looked embarrassed, and there was nothing he could do to lower his status in front of Lin Shan. He said frankly that although he was also the successor carefully selected by his master, he only had the second grade of wind and thunder double spiritual roots.
Of course, this qualification is unique and extremely rare!
In the top sects, they are all top geniuses.
After hearing this, Lin Shan sighed involuntarily.
What he had originally expected was now all invalidated. Unexpectedly, Fenglei Pavilion had already changed two generations, and the third generation was in power, and it was going downhill.
"True Lord Feng Lei and True Lord Lei Feng are both deceased. I still wanted to have some communication."
Unexpectedly, Feng Haochuan heard what he said and explained in a low voice.
"My master, True Lord Lei Feng, has indeed passed away, but my ancestor, True Lord Feng Lei, has not yet. He just went missing four hundred years ago and has not returned yet."
"Oh? How do you know that True Lord Fenglei is still alive!"
Lin Shan suddenly straightened up from his chair when he heard the news.
Feng Haochuan was vaguely contradictory and complicated, but he did not hide anything and explained the whole story openly and openly.
"Because the soul lantern left by the ancestor is still shining in the ancestral hall, it means that the old man is not only alive and well, but also still in this world!"
The soul lamp records the traces of a person's life. It will not be extinguished unless he dies or crosses the border. Just like the old saying: A person dies like a lamp extinguished.
Of course, being lit does not necessarily mean safety. It may be possible to lose consciousness, fall asleep, be trapped, imprisoned, suppressed, etc.
But just because the soul lamp of the first-generation founder Ouyang Feng is still on, Fenglei Pavilion is still confident in the world of cultivation. Facing the arrival of the Nascent Soul Stage monks, it is respectful but still elegant.
Lin Shan understood now.
No wonder the Pavilion Master Feng Haochuan was so busy broaching this topic when he came up that he couldn't wait to reveal the fact that his ancestor was still alive, just to show deterrence, protect his own safety, and prevent the other party from doing any malicious harm.
At the same time, he secretly reminded Lin Shan to exercise restraint.
When smart people talk to each other, there is no need to make it clear, they will understand it as soon as it is said.
Lin Shan did not doubt the authenticity of this matter. He had no intention of causing sabotage, and there was no need for the Pavilion Master to lie to himself.
But I looked at this person very unexpectedly, thinking that Fenglei Pavilion might not be as stable as the rumors outside, and might also be facing a crisis, so I have a strong sense of prevention.
But according to what Lin Fan said, Ouyang Feng defected to the Zixiao Sect a thousand years ago. It has been so long since then. If he is still alive, wouldn't he be a true thousand-year-old antique?
For humans, being able to live to thousands of years old is either a life-extending elixir or a way to reach a higher realm.
Feng Haochuan sighed at why the Patriarch hadn't come back yet, and said that everyone in Fenglei Pavilion had never forgotten to send people out to search everywhere. He lowered his head and observed Lin Shan's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
"So it turns out that the founder of the noble sect has great supernatural powers, and good people have their own destiny. I think they will eventually be able to turn misfortunes into blessings and return safely."
He casually responded, knowing that Xiao Jiujiu, the master of the pavilion, had also obtained some information, so he was no longer prepared to continue to be confused with him.
Get to the point and state your purpose straightforwardly.
"Master of the Wind Pavilion, my visit is related to martial arts. I would like to borrow some scriptures related to wind and thunder. Can you accommodate me?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the five people on the other side suddenly changed drastically!
One by one, they stood up, their eyes widened in anger, their tone of voice changed, and Feng Haochuan suddenly realized.
"No wonder, no wonder you know the ancestor's real name!"
"I thought it was some of the elders below who leaked the news. It turns out you are from that place, so that makes sense!"
"After all this time, you are still coveting my pavilion's inheritance. You are really evil!"
Lin Shan frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
"Have you misunderstood something? I am just a person myself, and I have never had any contact with you before."
"No intersection?"
Feng Haochuan's hands were trembling, his throat was rising and falling, he was both excited and scared, and he was holding on to himself because he was the master of the pavilion and the enemy could not retreat at the moment.
"As soon as the senior came in, the wind and thunder magic power in my body began to be faintly restless. If Feng guessed correctly, the senior should be the elder of Zixiao Sect. This time, like the last time, he came to snatch the "Wind and Thunder Manual". Am I right?”
"."
Lin Shan instantly understood why the other party was so excited. It turned out that Zixiao Sect had once been eyeing Fenglei Pavilion and wanted the Fenglei inheritance created by Ouyang Feng!
"You said it last time"
"Two hundred years ago, the great elder of your sect came to your door. Fortunately, my master was carrying him. The two of them had a special fight. The great elder of your sect was injured and escaped, but my master also accelerated the process of enthronement. .”
Speaking of this, Feng Haochuan couldn't help but burst into tears, apparently passing part of the death of his master Lei Feng Zhenjun onto the Zixiao Sect.
When Lin Shan heard the news, he immediately filled up more pictures in his mind, and quickly connected the cause and effect.
The Great Elder of Zixiao Sect!
This is the old monster who survived for nearly a thousand years in the great war between good and evil before the Great Song Dynasty. He was the leader in resisting the Black Lotus Sect, the Hundred Ghost Sect, and the Blood River Palace, and was the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Zixiao Sect!
He is a great figure who stands at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage.
Two hundred years ago, the great elder of the Zixiao Sect came to Fenglei Pavilion in Chaozhou on the west coast of the mainland without saying a word. He came to the door and forcibly demanded the Fenglei Sutra inherited by Ouyang Feng!
It's just that the second old pavilion master at that time, Zhenjun Lei Feng, was not a good person. He was Ouyang Feng's adopted son and his direct disciple, and he was equally powerful.
Even the two may be from the same era!
This battle ended with the Zixiao Sect elder being injured and retreating.
Logically speaking, since the Zixiao Sect has traced the origin and whereabouts of Fenglei Pavilion, they will definitely not give up such a precious inheritance, and will definitely make a comeback after recovering from their injuries.
But as luck would have it, although the second old pavilion master passed away, he would wait until the great elder of the Zixiao Sect recovered from his injuries.
The war between good and evil in the Song Dynasty suddenly broke out!
The Demonic Alliance invaded the mainland from the East China Sea, and the Zixiao Sect had too much time to take care of itself. How could it have time to take care of the collection of inheritance on the far west coast?
Counting the time, Lin Shan was also a party involved in the war between good and evil. There would be a little more than two years ago, exactly one hundred and forty years ago!
Later, although the war between good and evil ended in victory, Zixiao Sect suffered heavy losses and had to spend time to recover and re-digest the territory that had been poisoned by the evil way.
Coupled with the fact that Qianyunge is stirring up trouble within the Song Dynasty's cultivation world, and the Great Yan from the north is pressing down from the south, even with the longevity of the elder of the Zixiao Sect, it is hard to say whether he is still alive or not!
Where do you have time to take care of this?
So after such a delay, it was Lin Shan's turn to pick up the slack. (End of chapter)
