Chapter 2152 Three Caves and Four Courtyards

Liang Yan was not idle either, and started chatting with the two of them while drinking tea.

"I wonder what I call this fellow Taoist?"

"This is Zhang Wei."

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhang."

Liang Yan hid his aura. Neither Mu Changfeng nor Zhang Wei could judge his true cultivation level, so they could only refer to him as "fellow Taoist".

"Fellow Daoist Liang, you came from Antarctic Fairy Continent, can you tell me what the scene is like there?"

Mu Changfeng was very curious about Antarctic Fairy Continent and asked about it as soon as he sat down.

Liang Yan chuckled: "Antarctic Immortal Continent was once a barren land. After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, it has slowly entered a prosperous age of cultivation."

"oh?"

Mu Changfeng and Zhang Wei were both interested, and then asked: "What does Antarctic Immortal Continent look like now? What kind of techniques do the monks there major in? What sects are there?"

Liang Yan didn't expect them to be so interested. After thinking for a moment, he told some of the information about Antarctic Fairy Continent.

The content of his introduction was 70% true and 30% false. He only mentioned some anecdotes about the Seven Mountains and Twelve Cities, but did not mention a word about the Civil War and the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

But just these things greatly satisfied the curiosity of Mu Changfeng and Zhang Wei.

The two looked at each other, and Mu Changfeng smiled and said: "Let me just say, the human continent is vast, and there are all kinds of strange things! I didn't expect that the sect over there is not the commander-in-chief, but a more loose cultivation force. …”

Liang Yan's heart moved and he asked, "What is the scene like in Dongyun Lingzhou?"

"Here we are... although there are hundreds of schools of thought contending, the only ones that are truly powerful are the seven major sects, known as the 'Three Caves and Four Courtyards'."

"How do you say that?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Dongyun Lingzhou is divided into two major forces, the Dao League and the Confucian League. The Dao League has three major caves, namely Yaoguang Cave, Xuanling Cave, and Qingxu Cave. The Confucian League has four major academies, namely Wanfa Academy, Holy Spirit Academy, Qingfeng Academy and Hidden Sword Academy.”

After hearing this, Liang Yan showed a look of surprise and thought to himself: "It turns out that the 'three caves and four courtyards' refer to the three major caves of the Taoist League and the four major academies of the Confucian League."

Mu Changfeng smiled slightly at this time: "Zhang Wei and I are both disciples of Xuanling Cave. This entrance is controlled by the Taoist Alliance. Fellow Daoist Liang is really lucky. If we accidentally go to the entrance of the Rumeng, Those hypocrites cannot be friends with others.”

After hearing this, Liang Yan also smiled slightly, but his expression was noncommittal.

After a while, he asked again: "I just heard that you were going to inform Master Puji, but I don't know what this means?"

"Uncle Puji is amazing, he is a Taoist master!"

"Tao Zun?"

Liang Yan had never heard this word before, and there was doubt in his eyes.

Mu Changfeng glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is the duty of our Taoist League. The Taoist League is formed by the union of the three caves. The leader is called the Taoist leader. Below the Taoist leader is the Taoist saint, and below that is the Taoist alliance. Zun, and finally the Taoist envoy."

Liang Yan's heart moved: "What is the realm of this Daokui?"

"Of course it's the Holy Realm! There are more than a dozen saints in the Taoist Alliance. Every three thousand years, they have to discuss Taoism and compete to elect a new Taoist leader."

"I see……"

Liang Yan nodded, with a thoughtful look on his face.

He originally thought that this Taoist priest would be a monk at the level of "Human Ancestor", but he didn't expect that he was still a saint, but the most outstanding one among the saints...

After a while, Liang Yan was about to ask something more when he saw a ray of light piercing the sky.

Before the person got close, he heard hearty laughter coming from far away: "But Taoist friend Liang Yanliang is here?"

Liang Yan's expression changed slightly.

I have never been to Dongyun Lingzhou, and I have never had contact with the monks in Dongyun Lingzhou except Luo Qing. The pseudonym I just reported was "Liang Zhidao". How does this person know his origin?

Although he was surprised in his heart, he remained calm on the surface.

Turning around, I saw a fat, middle-aged Taoist priest pushing open the door and entering.

This man was wearing a fiery red Taoist robe, his belly was swollen like a big watermelon, his round face was glowing red, and his small eyes were narrowed into slits.

"Ouch!"

As soon as he entered the door, he showed a look of remorse, stamped his feet and said: "Liang Jianxian has come a long way, and Puji has come a long way to welcome me. Please forgive me!"

This performance not only surprised Liang Yan, but also Mu Changfeng and Zhang Wei were dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Uncle Puji is a master of overcoming calamities and overcoming five difficulties, yet he behaved so respectfully in front of this person. Could it be that...

Thinking of this, Mu Changfeng and Zhang Wei were both shocked.

The mahogany chair that had been quite comfortable now seemed to be pricked with needles.

The two of them stood up in unison, with lowered eyebrows and bowed heads, silently standing behind Puji, without saying a word.

Liang Yan's expression didn't change at all, and he still sat still. He glanced at Pu Ji and said calmly: "How do you know my identity?"

Pu Ji smiled and said: "After the Antarctic Immortal Continent has experienced the catastrophe of heaven and earth, who else will come across the sea? I have been waiting here for more than ten years under the orders of the Taoist Saint, and today I finally see it. Liang Jianxian is indeed unparalleled and well-deserved. ah!"

"Taoist Saint? Which Taoist Saint is it? How did he know that I would come?" Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's Senior Uncle Sanxiaozi. Fellow Taoist should have seen him."

"Sanxiaozi?"

Liang Yan didn't expect it to be this person and was quite surprised.

"I am a living dead, and even a saint cannot deduce it. Sanxiaozi must have figured out that I would come to Dongyun Lingzhou to pursue the way of swordsmanship, so he sent someone to wait here in advance... This makes sense. He is willing to spend so many resources from Antarctica. I’m afraid I’m the only person who comes across the sea from Xianzhou, so no matter what pseudonym I use, they will assume it’s me.”

In a flash of thought, Liang Yan had already figured out the key.

He then stood up from his seat, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands towards Puji and said, "It turns out it was arranged by Senior Sanxiaozi, so it's not surprising... Senior helped me several times in the past, and Liang was very grateful. But I don’t know where he lives now, and Liang wants to visit him and express his gratitude.”

Pu Ji said with a smile: "Uncle Master likes to play Fengchen. The dragon has never seen its end. I don't know where he lives now."

"Is that so..." Liang Yan nodded and asked after a moment: "Senior Sanxiaozi asked fellow Taoist fellow Taoist to wait for Liang here, but he didn't know why?"

Puji said: "Senior Sanxiaozi highly praised fellow Taoist Liang for his sharp swordsmanship and talent. However, our Taoist Alliance is thirsty for talents and needs talents like Brother Liang!"

Having said this, he paused and continued: "The Yaoguang Cave among the three caves of the Dao League is the holy land for sword cultivation! If fellow Taoist is interested, I can recommend it on your behalf, which will definitely be of great benefit to your cultivation path. !”

Liang Yan was quite surprised after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, the Taoist Alliance would also want to recruit him into the group...

This is really interesting...

Before setting off, he received an invitation from Luo Qing, asking him to join the Confucian Sword Academy of the Confucian League. When he arrived in Dongyun Lingzhou, he met Puji again and invited himself to join the Taoist Yaoguang Cave.

Do both the Emotional Alliance and the Confucian Alliance want to win over me?

It seems that the dispute between Taoism and Confucianism is not just a lie... I have just arrived here, so it is better not to take sides so quickly. After all, what you hear is false. You have to experience it yourself before you can understand the true situation of this continent.

Thinking of this, Liang Yan laughed and said with a smile: "Liang has just landed. It's too early to talk about joining the sect. Moreover, Liang has a loose temper. In the past few years, he wants to travel around the world and see Dong Yunling." The prosperous continent of the state, so we will not join any forces for the time being. "

After hearing this, Puji showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

But he did not give up, and said: "Yaoguang Cave is the strongest swordsmanship sect in Dongyun Lingzhou. There are countless scrolls hidden in the cave, and there are many unique books left over from ancient times. If fellow Taoists want to take a further step on the road of swordsmanship, The best choice is to join Yaoguang Dongtian! ”

After saying that, he added: "As long as fellow Taoist nods, I will immediately recommend you as a Taoist. In addition to Yaoguang Cave Heaven's own offering resources, fellow Taoist can also receive an additional resource from the Taoist Alliance."

After hearing this, Liang Yan's expression did not change at all: "I appreciate the good intentions of fellow Taoist, but Liang does not want to be bound by the sect, let alone get involved in right and wrong. No matter which force comes to invite Liang, Liang will not Will join.”

He made it clear that he wanted to tell Puji that he would not join Yaoguang Dongtian, but he would not join the Confucian Sword Academy of the Confucian League.

After hearing this, Puji's face changed again and again, and finally regained his composure.

"I see. It seems that everyone has their own ambitions and can't do it reluctantly..."

He laughed, and a smile appeared on his face: "In any case, our Dao Meng is still willing to make friends with Brother Liang. Today is our first meeting. Dao Meng has prepared several gifts for you. Please be considerate. Fellow Taoist, don’t refuse.”

After saying that, he clapped his hands, and three Taoist boys walked in immediately outside the door.

Each of these Taoist boys held a tray with both hands. The glow on the tray was flowing and full of aura. It was obvious that they were all treasures of good quality.

I saw a miniature spiritual boat in the tray on the left. It was only the size of a palm, but it contained abundant spiritual energy.

In the tray on the right is a blood-red Ganoderma lucidum, with nine heads in total, and faint green lines can be seen inside.

There is a yellow sand pot placed on the tray in the middle, with haze flowing erratically on the top of the pot.

Pu Ji introduced them one by one: "This is the 'Poxia Flying Boat', which can carry five hundred people at the same time, and its speed is comparable to the two disasters in the Transformation Realm."

"This is the Nine-Headed Blood Jade Zhi. It is the ultimate elixir for repairing injuries. It is also the main ingredient for twelve kinds of elixirs."

"As for the sand pot in the middle, it is filled with 'Qingfeng Sand'. This is the best material for upgrading flying swords and cannot be purchased in most markets."

When Puji said this, he took out another map from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Xianyun Yehe likes to travel to mountains, rivers and seas. I happen to have a map of Dongyun Lingzhou here, so I will give it to fellow Taoist as well." ”

After hearing this, Liang Yan did not answer immediately. Instead, he reached out and took the map and slowly unfolded it.

At first glance, this map is quite detailed, with "three caves and four courtyards" and some well-known forces marked on it.

Of course, the most taboo thing in the world of cultivation is spying on each other. The maps are very general, and it is impossible to map the internal terrain of each sect.

Liang Yan studied it for a moment and suddenly asked, "What do the cyan and blue areas on this map represent?"

Puji replied: "The green area is the sphere of influence of the Confucian League, and the blue area is the sphere of influence of the Taoist League."

"I see."

Liang Yan nodded slightly, pointed to somewhere on the map, and asked again: "Then what are these gray areas?"

"These are neutral areas, belonging to neither the Taoist League nor the Confucian League."

"Neutral area?" Liang Yan was a little surprised.

Pu Ji explained: "This origin is very long. Once upon a time, Dongyun Lingzhou was just a barren land. It was not until Peng Zu and Yu Zu came here to preach that the Confucian and Taoist sects came into being..."

"The cultivation methods of the Taoist and Confucian sects are similar. There is a dispute over the orthodoxy here. The local sects in Dongyun Lingzhou either rely on the Taoist League or the Confucian League. The two most obvious examples are the Yaoguang Sword Sect and the Cangjian Pavilion. These two major sword cultivation sects respectively belonged to the Taoist League and the Confucian League, and became the current Yaoguang Cave Heaven and Cangjian Academy."

"But there are also a very small number of local sects that keep Neutral, that is, the gray area on the map. Most of the cultivators in these places are barbarians, who are uncivilized, unruly, often fighting and killing, and even attacking sects! Daoist friends, if it is not necessary, try not to go to these places. "

"I see."

Liang Yan nodded, bowed to Pu Ji and said: "Thank you for clearing my doubts."

Pu Ji laughed: "It's just a little effort. Although Daoist friends are unwilling to join the Dao League, I personally still want to make friends with you."

As he said, he waved his hand and asked the three Taoist children to send all the treasures to Liang Yan.

Liang Yan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "No merit, no reward. Liang has not made any contribution to the Dao League. How can I accept such a big gift? Daoist friends, please return it."

Seeing that Pu Ji was about to speak, Liang Yan smiled again: "However, this map really helped Liang a lot, so I accepted it shamelessly."

After that, he rolled up the map again and put it in his storage ring.

Puji opened his mouth, but the words he was about to say never came out...

He could see that Liang Yan was a man who was polite on the outside but honest on the inside.

He was very particular about the gift. He returned all three gifts from the Dao League, leaving only the map that Puji personally gave him.

This way, the Dao League would not lose face, nor would they get too close to the Dao League.

He kept a very measured distance.

"No wonder Master Sanxiaozi recommended this person. It seems that he is not a simple person..." Puji thought to himself.

The next moment, he laughed again: "Well, I will keep these gifts for you for the time being. If you change your mind one day, I will give you the same benefits that I promised you before."

After hearing this, Liang Yan did not comment.

"By the way, Liang came from the Antarctic Fairyland, and I don't have a jade pass. This matter..."

"Brother Liang is joking!" Before he finished speaking, Puji smiled and said, "This is the entrance to our Taoist Alliance. Brother Liang can come and go freely without a jade pass."

"That's good." Liang Yan nodded, clasped his fists to Puji and said, "Thank you for the hospitality of the Taoist Alliance. Now that the matter is over, Liang will take his leave first."

"Fellow Taoist, please do as you please."
