Chapter 8 I am a descendant of Fulong Temple
It was the first time for the boy to travel far away from home alone. In addition to two sets of clothes, his bag also contained a handful of copper coins stuffed by his mother.
That evening, the boy walked to the county town, found an inn to stay for one night, had a simple meal, and spent half of his money.
Money is really hard to spend. He can't delay in the city, otherwise the money will be spent soon.
The boy bought a pot and set off. In the future, if he is hungry on the road, he can pick wild vegetables and cook them by himself, as long as he can fill his stomach.
The boy has planned the route in his mind.
First, go to the four places of southeast, northwest, and northeast to see the formation built by the immortal master Lin Tian a hundred years ago, then go to the center to find the traces of the Zhoutian Xingdou formation, then go to Shangjing to see the most prosperous city in the world, and finally go to the old site of Fulong Temple.
This journey is expected to take 10 to 20 years to complete.
The first goal is to go to the east.
The current Dagan period is indeed the most prosperous period in all dynasties. Every few dozen miles, you can encounter a village, which is in sharp contrast to the time when Lin Tian traveled in the mountains a hundred years ago.
Along the way, when the boy was hungry, he would pick some wild vegetables and cook them. Occasionally, he would go into the mountains to hunt and go down to the river to catch fish to improve his meals.
When he encountered a village, he would also beg for food from people. When it got dark, he would find a place to shelter from the rain and make a fire. He used the sky as a blanket and the ground as a bed.
He was a cultivator of the first level of Qi Refining. He was not afraid of heat or cold.
After walking for two years, the boy finally came to the east, where the immortal master Lin Tian built the array altar a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, this place was still uninhabited. After the array altar was built, the emperor sent heavy troops to guard it to prevent anyone from destroying the array.
Because of the immortal master Lin Tian, many people came to worship and play. Over time, some people lived here and settled down.
A hundred years later, a city was built here, named Donglin City.
"Stop, guard the important place, no outsiders are allowed to approach, please leave quickly."
The guarding soldiers scolded the boy, nothing radical happened, just told him to leave quickly.
Outsiders can only watch and worship outside the formation altar, and outsiders are not allowed to approach the inner circle.
The boy bowed to the guarding soldiers and said: "I am the descendant of Fulong Temple, and I come here to watch the formation altar."
This is the first time that the boy calls himself the descendant of Fulong Temple.
In the past two years, the boy has gained a lot of knowledge, and what he likes most is to listen to people talk about humanities, especially about the immortal master Lin Tian and Fulong Temple.
During this journey, the boy has broken through to the second level of Qi Refining, which is much faster than expected.
Descendant of Fulong Temple?
The soldiers guarding here certainly know the meaning of the three words Fulong Temple, and they can't help but stare at Zhang Fulong with wide eyes.
A very young man, handsome, and the temperament of the boy is very good.
"This...this Taoist priest, please let us report to you."
The soldiers didn't know how to address the boy for a while, and finally addressed him as Taoist priest.
People in Taoist temples usually call them Taoist priests.
The boy nodded slightly.
Not long after, a general came hurriedly, walked up to the boy and said: "Are you the descendant of Fulong Temple?"
The boy bowed to the general and said: "Zhang Fulong, the descendant of Fulong Temple, greets the general?"
The general didn't dare to accept the boy's courtesy, and quickly raised the boy's arm, and asked suspiciously: "Does the Taoist priest have other objects from Fulong Temple as proof?"
To be honest, the general didn't believe it. How could someone say that he was a descendant of Fulong Temple after so many years?
It's just that seeing that the boy is extraordinary, he wants to confirm it again and again.
Objects from Fulong Temple?
The boy didn't have any, only the book left by the immortal master Lin Tian, and this book couldn't be exposed at the moment.
Finally, the boy put his eyes on the sword at the general's waist.
"General, can you lend me your sword?"
"Hmm?"
Before the general could react, the sword on his waist flew out of its sheath and rushed to the branch. With a "click", a section of the treetop was cut off and fell down, and then the sword flew back into the general's sheath.
This scene happened in a flash, and the soldiers in front of him were stunned.
"General, I'm sorry for showing off my skills."
The young man's voice drifted into his ears, and the general turned around and knelt down to the young man, saying, "I, Shi Heng, meet the Immortal Master."
"We meet the Immortal Master."
The soldiers next to him also knelt down with the general, and the address changed from Taoist priest to Immortal Master, which shows that they have believed in the young man's identity.
Who else would do this except the Immortal Master Lin Tian a hundred years ago.
"General, please stand up quickly, and all the soldiers, please stand up too."
The young man quickly helped the general up, and also asked all the soldiers to stand up, because he was not worthy of such a kneeling.
"Master, do you want to check the formation?" Shi Heng asked hurriedly after being helped up by the boy.
"I am not worthy of the title of Master. It is more appropriate for the general to call me Taoist priest."
The boy was only at the second level of Qi Refining. Although he had some cultivation, he was not very powerful. He was far from being a fairy, so he was not worthy of the title of Master.
"This... is Taoist priest."
After struggling for a while, the general agreed.
It was a very simple conversation, but Lin Tian had said the same thing back then.
"It's not an inspection, I want to see the formation left by the old master Lin."
The boy answered Shi Heng like this. The boy did not call Master Lin Tian like the world, but called him the old master Lin.
The boy's great-grandfather was a disciple of Fulong Temple, and he entered Taoism because of the books left by Lin Tian, so he could naturally call him the old master Lin.
"Master, please follow me."
Shi Heng personally led the young man into the inner circle of the formation altar.
The young man walked around the formation altar.
A hundred years have passed, and the formation altar looks much older, but it still operates as usual. Outsiders cannot see its secrets, but the young man can see a thing or two.
"Master, have you finished looking?"
When the young man stopped, Shi Heng couldn't help but ask.
The young man nodded slightly.
"Is there anything that needs to be repaired?" Shi Heng asked again. For so many years, no one has understood the method of the immortal master Lin Tian, so naturally they dare not move it easily.
Now there is someone following the Fulong Temple, who is as powerful as the immortal master Lin Tian back then, so it's a good time to ask.
The young man shook his head, then smiled at Shi Heng and said, "No need to repair it. Fulong would like to thank the general and the soldiers for their efforts on behalf of the immortal master."
"Master, there is no need to do this. This is our duty."
Shi Heng dared not bear the young man's gratitude. He really couldn't bear it.
Then Shi Heng asked again, "How long will the Taoist stay in Donglin City? I will let His Majesty know."
"I have seen the formation that Master Lin set up that year. I am sorry to bother you tonight. I will leave tomorrow morning." The young man replied.
"So urgent? Taoist, why don't you stay a few more days?" Shi Heng persuaded him to stay.
It was such a good opportunity to contact the immortal. He wanted to let the young man stay for a few more days, but he didn't expect the young man to be so anxious and leave tomorrow morning.
