Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

"Brother Du?!" Xu Xian looked at the young man in white in shock, "Why are you here?"

"Don't worry, I'm not here to find you." Du Qian replied to Xu Xian casually, then looked at Master Zishan with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "My Du Qian, I have admired the name of Master for a long time, and it is such a blessing to meet him today!"

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Du..."

Master Zishan bowed his hands politely, and at the same time cast doubtful eyes on Xu Xian.

Xu Xian understood and quickly sent a message: "He is the one who used arithmetic formulas to test his disciples!"

It's him?

Master Zishan was slightly startled, then frowned tightly.

As early as when Xu Xian summoned him, he was extremely shocked that someone could say the words "odd changes to even remain unchanged". However, he was worried about his disciple's safety at that time, so he could only suppress the shock and surprise in his heart for the time being. .

Now, with Du Qian in front of him, all the thousands of thoughts that were pressing in Master Zishan's heart finally came out together.

The arithmetic knowledge he taught Xu Xian came from the system and later generations, and the level was far beyond that of this era. The formula for changing odd and even changes was not spread until the 1970s and 1980s.

There are only two possibilities for Du Qian to express it in this era.

One is to learn from their masters and apprentices, such as reading memories and eavesdropping.

And these two...

Master Zishan suppressed the feeling of numbness in his scalp and cautiously asked, "Is Fellow Daoist Du also a practitioner?"

Du Qian smiled and said: "Of course."

Master Zishan raised his hands and asked, "I wonder where Youxian Township is?"

Du Qian smiled broadly and slowly said eight words: "Beside the Huangpu River, next to the Pearl Tower!"

Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen and others next to them did not know the meaning of these eight characters.

But Master Zishan knew it very well. His body trembled, his pupils shrank suddenly, and a turmoil arose in his heart.

Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment, then said with confusion on her face: "Did the Immortal remember the name of the river incorrectly? I've been to the Huangpu River too, and I've never heard of a Pearl Tower nearby!"

"..."

Du Qian glanced at her and said with a smile: "No, there is indeed an Oriental Pearl Tower on the bank of the Huangpu River. Just because you can't see it, it doesn't mean that others can't see it either... Are you right, fellow Taoist Zishan?"

Speaking of the last sentence, Du Qian turned his half-smiling gaze to Zishan Master again.

Master Zishan recovered from the shock, looked at the golden-armored general behind Du Qian, and said calmly: "Did you really come from the Pearl Tower?"

Du Qian smiled and replied: "Why did I lie to you?"

After saying that, before Master Zishan could respond, Du Qian continued: "I know you have a lot of worries and doubts now, but it doesn't matter. I will answer them for you one by one after more than half a step."

"As for now, you'd better listen to me."

Du Qian glanced at the sky higher above his head and said with a faint smile: "Otherwise, you guys have to think carefully about what that monkey did five hundred years ago..."

Master Zishan's heart froze, and he immediately followed Du Qian's gaze, and sure enough he found an indescribable sense of solemn oppression coming from higher up in the sky.

——The Jade Emperor’s heavenly soldiers are coming!

Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen and others were all shocked.

Xiaoqing looked panicked, and quickly tugged on her sister's sleeves, whispering: "Sister, just listen to him!"

Since the return of the immortals a few years ago, there have been only a few forces in this world that can compete with the heavens. Banbuduo Inn is the most mysterious and well-known one among them.

Without hesitation, Bai Suzhen immediately saluted respectfully and said, "Thank you so much for saving me!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

Du Qian answered with a smile while sweeping his eyes towards Xu Xian and Zishan Zhenren.

Master Zishan hesitated for a moment, sighed, cupped his hands and said, "Then just follow what fellow Taoist said!"

After the words fell, everyone reached a consensus and immediately used their own methods to fly towards the mist of the valley not far away.

After everyone disappeared into the mist, a dark cloud stretching for ten miles finally appeared on the horizon.

There are layers of dark clouds, like ladders, overturning. There are figures standing on them, each wearing silver armor and holding a long sword. A large flag with the character "Li" is erected in the clouds, floating in the wind and making a hunting sound.

And in the center of these thousands of heavenly soldiers, there was a mighty divine general holding a small tower in his hand.

Next to the god general, a handsome young man wearing lotus armor, holding a fire-tipped spear, tied with a Huntian silk ribbon at his waist, a Qiankun circle slung across his body, a hot wheel on his feet, and two buns on his head raised his eyebrows in surprise. asked:

"Didn't you say that there was a snake spirit stealing the talisman? Where is the snake spirit?"

The mighty general glanced at him and said calmly: "Escaped more than half a step..."

Nezha glanced at the mist, then curled his lips and said: "Really, then there is nothing we can do!"

As he spoke, he yawned and said boredly: "This old Jade Emperor really doesn't matter, he's just two snake spirits. You only need to send a small general and lead more than a hundred heavenly soldiers to capture him. Why bother?" Raise troops and mobilize people."

"Now, not only is the king sent out, but I also have to take action personally. It's really killing a chicken with a bull's-eye!"

The mighty general glared at Nezha: "Be careful what you say!"

After saying that, he said angrily: "What do you know? That snake spirit has a lot of background. Behind it is the old mother Lishan and Guanyin Bodhisattva. The mortal hero who is related to her has an even more amazing background. Behind him It is very likely that there is a shadow of Ziwei Palace..."

"Ziwei Palace?" Nezha raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Isn't it not built yet?"

Li Jing couldn't help but glare at him again.

Nezha suddenly realized: "The one above?"

Li Jing's expression softened slightly and he nodded.

Nezha rolled his eyes and said, "That's even more unnecessary... Okay, I thought there was really going to be a fight today, but it turns out it was just a pretense, boring and boring. I'm going to Guanjiangkou to find my second brother. Next This is the first time, please don’t call me again!”

After saying that, Nezha jumped up and turned the Hot Wheels into flames, flying towards the distance.

"you……"

Li Jing looked at Nezha's back with an angry look on his face, his expression changing, but in the end he sighed helplessly.

At this moment, there seemed to be peeping eyes from below. Li Jing frowned and looked at the source of the peeping feeling. He saw a golden-armored god general standing on the edge of the mist of the valley, looking at him expressionlessly.

When their eyes met, Li Jing frowned, then waved his hand and said calmly: "Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"

Along with the sound of wind, thunder and drums, the black clouds in the sky dispersed, the military flags disappeared, and the heavenly soldiers disappeared.

The golden-armored god general stood there, looking at the sky for a while, then turned around and walked slowly into the mist.

…

…

On the other side, half a step away from the inn, Yijiu's two brothers had already arrived with three thousand talisman soldiers.

Du Qian met with the two of them, confirmed each other's identities, and then asked them to lead troops to garrison the Divine Prison Tower.

As for Du Qian himself, he arranged for Xu Xian, Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen to stay, and then he finally had time to spend time alone with Master Zishan.

In a private room in the hotel restaurant that was not open to the public, Master Zishan sat at the table and looked at Du Qian opposite him with a slight frown.

After pondering for a long time, Master Zishan didn't think about how to speak.

Du Qian, who was across from him, glanced at him, put down his wine glass with a smile, and asked curiously: "Fellow Taoist, can a mountain stone turn into a spirit?"

Master Zishan was slightly startled and nodded hesitantly.

Du Qian suddenly said: "No wonder the Taoist name is Zishan..."

Master Zishan twitched the corner of his mouth and finally couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Du, since my little apprentice has leaked the truth, let's open the sky and speak openly - Friend Daoist Du, you are also a time traveler, right?"

Du Qian smiled and nodded: "Not bad!"

As expected, Zishan Zhenren said with a frown: "Fellow Taoist, you can make the Yijiu God General, who is only half a step away, bow his head and obey orders. Obviously, he has an extraordinary origin, but I have been in this world for nearly five hundred years, and during this period, I was also a demon king. , boasting that there are not many secrets in the three realms that can be hidden from me, but I have never heard of your name..."

"Who are you?"

Du Qian smiled and said: "There are not many secrets that can be hidden from you, which means there are still secrets in this world that you don't know, right?"

Master Zishan nodded: "Of course."

Du Qian asked leisurely: "Then do you know why the immortal Buddha disappeared back then?"

Master Zishan fell silent, and Du Qian hit the nail on the head. This question really stuck with him.

Du Qian smiled and said: "Because of a monkey."

"……monkey?"

Master Zishan's face was full of doubts.

As a traveler in the world of mythology, when I hear monkeys, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely Sun Wukong who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

But then again, when the Immortal Buddha disappeared, hundreds of years had passed since the Journey to the West, and the monkey was still in Mount Emei honestly fighting for his victory over the Buddha. How could it have anything to do with him?

Du Qian smiled slightly: "I didn't say that he was a monkey in this world."

Master Zishan was slightly startled and said in astonishment: "Could it be... the upper realm?"

Du Qian was stunned and said with a smile: "Have you heard the rumors about the upper world?"

Master Zishan came back to his senses and nodded solemnly: "It is said that this world is just one of the three thousand small worlds, and there is an even broader world above it."

"But this is just a legend after all, and no one can confirm it..."

Du Qian smiled and said, "Now you can confirm it."

Master Zishan frowned and said, "Where is the evidence?"

Du Qian said leisurely: "Far away in the horizon, close in front of you!"

Master Zishan was slightly startled and couldn't help but exclaimed: "You came from the upper world!"
