Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 559 Arrival
At 3 a.m., Xiao Ran and Jin Chanzi walked out of the police station gate.

Jin Chanzi had a smiling face, without any sense of shame at all. Before leaving, he even asked for the police officer's contact number.

"Are you really a Taoist priest?"

Xiao Ran looked at this shameless guy and really suspected that he was a fake Taoist priest.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I am a mortal when I enter the world to practice, and I am a Taoist when I leave the world to practice."

"What's the meaning??"

"What I mean is, I am a real Taoist priest inside the maze city, but I am not a Taoist priest outside the maze city. After all, the Taoist Association has not issued me a certificate."

Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but want to beat this guy up, thinking that he was still a young boy but still a bad boy.

"Hey, don't think like that, I didn't touch that elder sister, it was the elder sister who insisted on taking off her clothes, I am the victim."

Jin Chanzi could see through Xiao Ran's thoughts. Realizing that Xiao Ran wanted to beat him, he quickly started to explain.

"Hehe, why didn't you say that when you were taking the statement just now?"

“I told them, but they didn’t believe me.”

Jin Chanzi spread out his hands and said innocently.

"I have a special physique, and I have had many romantic relationships since I was a child. However, my master cast a spell on me to keep me a virgin."

"What curse?"

"Well, it's the kind of curse that can't be broken anyway."

The two talked as they walked towards Mount Emei. The dead of night was a good time to chat.

Xiao Ran originally wanted to ask about his parents, but Jin Chanzi said the same thing, that he could only tell him about these things after they descended from Mount Emei.

The two did not return to the hotel, but took advantage of the cool night and headed straight for Mount Emei.

In fact, when the two of them started climbing the mountain, some people had already started climbing the trail at night.

It would take an average person at least ten hours to climb Mount Emei from the bottom to the top without taking the cable car.

Xiao Ran and Jin Chanzi seemed to be walking very slowly, but their speed was actually incredibly fast.

During this time, Xiao Ran tried to shake off the Golden Toad, but the faster he walked, the Golden Toad followed him like a shadow.

At first, Xiao Ran thought that Jin Chanzi's attainments in lightness skills were not inferior to his own, but after watching for a while, Xiao Ran discovered the clue.

This guy has an invisible aura that sticks to you like a suction cup.

He jumped forward more than ten steps, and Jin Chanzi took advantage of the energy and lightly stepped forward, and was naturally pulled to his side.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran was so angry that his nose was crooked. He felt that he was being treated as a free cable car.

"You can also be considered a Taoist master?"

"Yes, no. It's just my own clever trick. But it wouldn't work if I didn't have some skills."

"So are you considered a beginner?"

"No, my situation is special. I am not an initiate, and I cannot become one."

Xiao Ran chatted with Jin Chanzi in a casual manner.

The two talked about Jin Chanzi's background, and he is actually a modern man.

However, when he was born, he alarmed the old master in Longhu Mountain, and he became a Taoist disciple before he was even a month old. After he was weaned at the age of one, he was sent to Longhu Mountain to practice.

When he was about five years old, Jin Chanzi entered the Maze City and became a disciple and practiced in Longhu Mountain in the Maze City.

"Let me put it this way. In reality, there is no one older than me in the Taoist sect. I can enter and exit this maze city whenever I want. It's strange, right? But I am not a beginner."

Xiao Ran was extremely surprised by Jin Chanzi's words. He didn't expect that there was such a strange creature like Jin Chanzi in the world.

Maybe this is the characteristic of being a spiritual child.

While the two were talking, they had already passed many tourists who were climbing the mountain at night and were almost reaching the Golden Summit.

Looking up from a distance, I saw the gate of a temple right in front of me.

Looking at the three words "Xianfeng Temple" written on the temple gate, Xiao Ran stopped to take a look. His eyes flashed with fluorescence. He could see a little golden light flashing in the depths of the huge temple.

"interesting!"

The temple in front of him was completely different from what he had seen at the Qing Palace on Mount Qingcheng. Xiao Ran couldn't explain it clearly.

But as Master Zhang said, outside the door is mystery, inside the door is truth, but this temple is the opposite.

"By the way, do you know Zhang Taiping, Master Zhang?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran turned around and asked Jin Chanzi.

"Yes, I recognize him. According to seniority, he should call me Grandmaster." Jin Chanzi nodded, then sighed, "He is born with a Taoist bone, with Huagai and Kuigang, a good seedling that is not seen once in three hundred years, but he was born at the wrong time, it's difficult!!"

Taoist disciples cannot be accepted casually. In the past, if Taoist masters wanted to find a suitable disciple, they would first make sure that the disciple had one of the two, Huagai or Kuigang, in his horoscope.

Without Huagai and Kuigang, you can only settle for the next best thing, which is Tongzisha or all Yin in the eight characters. At the worst, you have to have the evil spirit in your life.

However, it is very rare to have both Huagai and Kuigang like Taoist Master Zhang.

Once you meet him, he must be the disciple that Taoist masters are fighting for, and the one who can inherit their mantle.

Such people are born with a natural talent for enlightenment. They can often understand the mystery of things that others may need ten years of practice to realize, just by looking at them or thinking about them.

When Zhang Taiping came down the mountain, he was only in his teens, but his attainments in swordsmanship were extraordinary. With just a soft sword, he killed Senbei, the sword master of Japan at that time.

But the sword technique was just something Zhang Taiping practiced for the sake of killing the enemy. In the words of Master Zhang, this was learned for the purpose of killing people. If a pistol was more useful, then he could also learn to shoot a gun.

In his eyes, it was just a tool and he didn't think it was a big deal at all.

In contrast, Senbei was filled with resentment and anger in the face of the changes of the times. It was because he had practiced hard all his life to achieve the title of Sword Saint, but in the end, he was not as convenient as a rookie holding a gun.

This is the difference between the two. It may seem simple, but in fact there is a huge difference in mentality.

But just as Jin Chanzi said, although this Taoist was born with a Taoist temperament, he was born at the wrong time.

"So, if the Lost City comes, this Taoist..."

“No chance!”

Before Xiao Ran could finish, Jin Chanzi interrupted him and said bluntly: "The door to the new era has actually been opened a long time ago. Those who entered naturally entered, and those who did not enter were destined not to enter."

"Ok."

Xiao Ran felt a little regretful, but what he was actually thinking about was not Master Zhang Dao, but his own grandfather.

I don’t know how my grandfather is doing at home after being out for so long. I also don’t know if those old guys like Zhao Qingming and Master Lai have caused any other trouble.

But Xiao Ran just thought about these problems by himself. They were all old hands, even old foxes among old foxes, and it was not his turn to worry about them.

The two did not stop in front of the temple gate, but continued to climb up to the Golden Summit.

It is around 5:30 in the morning. The sun has not yet risen, but the sky is already bright.

Standing on the Golden Summit, one can see the vast sea of clouds in front of him. It was Xiao Ran's first time here, so he couldn't help but be attracted by the scenery.

only……

Xiao Ran looked at the people on the Golden Summit platform who were waiting to watch the sunrise, and Xiao Ran looked at Jin Chanzi in confusion.

"You didn't bring me here just to watch the sunrise, did you?"

"of course not."

Jin Chanzi took Xiao Ran to the west and came to the western observation deck. Most of the people who climbed the Golden Summit at night came to watch the sunrise, so there were not many people on the west side.

Jin Chanzi supported himself on the railing with both hands.

Looking at the endless sea of clouds in front of him, he took a deep breath and asked, "Do you have a camera?"

“I have a cell phone.”

Xiao Ran didn't know what this guy was going to do, so he took out his phone from the space and asked, "Do you need me to take a picture of you?"

"Well, take a picture, so I can keep it as a memory."

Jin Chanzi stood in front of the fence, put his hands on his hips, and motioned Xiao Ran to take a few photos for him.

"The sun is coming out!!"

At this time, someone in the distance pointed at the clouds in the east and shouted.

Everyone raised their mobile phones or pointed their cameras at the fiery red clouds in the distance, waiting for the moment of sunrise.

At the same time, Jin Chanzi's gaze was looking towards the west.

Staring at the sky in the distance.

"Are you ready?"

"What??"

Xiao Ran looked at him doubtfully, and Jin Chanzi slowly raised his finger, first pointing forward, then slowly pointing upwards...

Xiao Ran didn't understand at first, but when he saw Jin Chanzi's finger pointing towards the sky little by little, he felt as if struck by lightning.

The pupils of both eyes suddenly tightened, and as the sunlight appeared, the shadow of a huge monster in the sea of clouds gradually became clear...

"The Lost City! It's about to fall!" Xiao Ran slightly opened his lips, and his breathing began to become rapid. Although he had anticipated this day a long time ago, he never thought that he would see the Lost City fall in this way.

And at the same time.

In the small courtyard at the back of the Shangqing Palace, Taoist Zhang also opened his eyes from meditation and looked up at the sky.

"Master."

Qi Jinguang, the little Taoist boy standing beside Taoist Master Zhang, looked at him as if he sensed something, and his expression became tense: "Master, he is really here."

"What is to come will come."

Zhang Taiping stood up and looked at Qi Jinguang who looked uneasy: "Jinguang, you have to walk the road ahead by yourself."

"Master, you...I..."

Upon hearing this, the young Qi Jinguang looked even more confused.

Zhang Taiping comforted him, "Tao follows nature. It's time for you to come out. Go and prepare. Don't forget to call the company. Go ahead."

"Master!"

Qi Jinguang wanted to say something, but Zhang Taiping waved his empty sleeves, rolled up the soft sword on the wall and threw it to Qi Jinguang. He turned around and his eyes flashed with a gleam of lightning: "Go, each generation has its own things to do, this generation it's your turn!"

Qi Jinguang looked at the soft sword in his hand, took a deep breath, calmed himself, and bowed with both hands: "Yes, disciple is leaving the mountain, take care, Master."

After saying that, he took three steps back, turned around, picked up his sword and went down the mountain...
