Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 19 Dao Fate
The next day, early in the morning.

Zhang Xiaofan got up, washed up, carried the Fenji and Moxue swords on his back, and tucked the Biluo Huangquan sword into his waistband before leaving the house.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Seeing Zhang Xiaofan leave, Xiao Hui immediately jumped onto Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder and gently squatted down. Zhang Xiaofan turned to look at Xiao Hui and said softly.

"Today I am going to Tongtian Peak, so you will stay at Dazhu Peak and keep Dahuang company."

"Squeak! Squeak!"

It was unclear whether Little Grey understood or not. Little Grey tilted its head, stared at Zhang Xiaofan, and barked twice before squatting on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, its eyes looking around.

Seeing that Little Grey clung to him and didn't want to stay, Zhang Xiaofan let it go.

With a flick of his fingers, the Ink Snow Sword was unsheathed and landed at Zhang Xiaofan's feet, carrying Zhang Xiaofan and Xiao Hui, about to fly towards Tongtian Peak.

"Wang! Wang!"

Just then, Da Huang suddenly ran out from the side, barking incessantly, which made Zhang Xiaofan's face turn slightly bitter. Da Huang kept wagging its tail and refused to leave, while Xiao Hui on his shoulder also squeaked.

After a slight hesitation, Zhang Xiaofan decided to bring Dahuang along as well.

Zhang Xiaofan wielded the Ink Snow Sword, transforming into a streak of light and swiftly disappearing into the sea of ​​clouds in the sky. He traversed the peaks above the clouds in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before arriving at Tongtian Peak.

The Ink Snow Sword whistled down, eventually carrying Zhang Xiaofan and Da Huang to a huge square.

The plaza is balustraded with white jade, and the rising clouds create a fairyland-like scene, which is the sea of ​​clouds, one of the six scenic spots of Qingyun.

At this moment, the square was quite deserted. Apart from the disciples on duty, few people were moving around. Only the nine bronze cauldrons stood on the square, quietly watching the changing winds and clouds of Qingyun.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan was dressed in Qingyun Sect attire, the disciples didn't ask any further questions, but their gazes lingered a little longer on Da Huang and Xiao Hui.

After crossing the Rainbow Bridge and arriving at the Green Pool, the Spirit Water Qilin was not hiding in the deep pool, but lying on the edge of the pool, as if waiting for the sunrise and preparing to bask in the sun.

Perhaps because the Spirit Lord's size was too large, Little Grey was a little frightened. Riding on Big Yellow, it followed closely behind Zhang Xiaofan, refusing to leave even half a step.

After bowing to the Spirit Lord, Zhang Xiaofan walked up the stone steps to the front of the Jade Purity Hall.

Looking up at the tall and majestic Yuqing Hall in front of him, Zhang Xiaofan's gaze lingered on the huge plaque for a moment, his eyes deep and unfathomable, as if he were recalling some old friend from his memories.

After calming himself down, Zhang Xiaofan gently knocked on the door and then bowed.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, Zhang Xiaofan, a disciple of Dazhu Peak, pays his respects!"

"come in!"

A warm voice came from inside the hall. Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Xiaofan pushed open the door and went in. Behind him, Xiao Hui cautiously turned around to look at the huge water unicorn behind him, its eyes slightly shifting. After patting Da Huang, it also followed him inside.

As soon as Zhang Xiaofan entered the hall, he saw Dao Xuan Zhenren, dressed in a dark green Daoist robe, standing in the main hall in front of the statue of the Three Pure Ones, with his back to the hall door. A faint mist surrounded Dao Xuan Zhenren, adding to his otherworldly and otherworldly aura.

After Zhang Xiaofan entered, Dao Xuan Zhenren seemed unaware of his presence. He bowed three times to the statue of the Three Pure Ones, and only then did Zhang Xiaofan notice that Dao Xuan Zhenren was holding three sticks of incense.

After a slight hesitation, Zhang Xiaofan took three incense sticks from the table beside him and lit them with a simple fire spell.

Just then, three more incense sticks were handed over from the side. Zhang Xiaofan looked up and saw that Xiao Hui was also holding three incense sticks, its eyes fixed on him. Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but smile, reached out and patted Xiao Hui's head, then pointed to Xiao Hui's crotch. Xiao Hui paused for a moment, looked down at Da Huang, scratched its head, and then took the three incense sticks.

After lighting all six incense sticks, Zhang Xiaofan placed them in Xiao Hui's hands. Then, he went behind Dao Xuan Zhenren and bowed to the Three Pure Ones.

Now, he is no longer the immortal who only played the zither. The former Tianyong City, which cultivated the pure energy of heaven and earth, can be considered a Taoist sect. Now, the Qingyun Sect is the orthodox Taoist sect in the world.

Having received the grace of the Taoist sect in two lifetimes, and being a disciple of the Taoist sect, it is only right that I offer incense to the Three Pure Ones.

After Dao Xuan Zhenren finished offering incense, he turned around and was about to speak when he saw Zhang Xiaofan holding a long incense stick. Almost instinctively, he took a few steps back to make way for him.

After stepping aside, Dao Xuan Zhenren's face showed even more astonishment. He saw a little gray monkey holding six incense sticks beside Zhang Xiaofan, and a big yellow dog standing next to it.

Zhang Xiaofan held a long incense stick and respectfully bowed three times to the statue of the Three Pure Ones. The little gray monkey, without the slightest hint of playfulness, also bowed three times to the statue of the Three Pure Ones. Even the big yellow dog next to it nodded three times.

After Zhang Xiaofan finished bowing, he took two steps forward and inserted the long incense stick into the incense burner.

"Squeak!"

Hearing Xiao Hui's soft call, Zhang Xiaofan looked down and saw that Xiao Hui was holding long incense sticks in both hands, but its eyes were fixed on the incense burner on the table, as if it was anxious.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment before he understood what Xiao Hui meant. He reached out and took the six incense sticks, helping Xiao Hui and Da Huang to place them in the incense burner.

Dao Xuan Zhenren was also somewhat surprised. Most monkeys are unruly, and this gray-haired monkey, which had that big yellow dog as a companion, was obviously unruly.

Inside the Jade Purity Hall, this gray-haired monkey was so well-behaved that Dao Xuan Zhenren couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"This young lay Buddhist is quite insightful."

"Master Uncle, please forgive me. Little Grey has been my companion since childhood. I could not bear to abandon it on the peak. I have offended the Ancestral Master just now. I am willing to accept the punishment. Please punish me, Master Uncle."

Zhang Xiaofan bowed respectfully to Dao Xuan Zhenren and said in a deep voice.

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at the respectful and upright young man in front of him, whose brows hinted at a sense of arrogance, and his eyes were somewhat dazed.

After realizing what was happening, Dao Xuan Zhenren slowly walked up to Zhang Xiaofan, gently lifted his hand, and said with a smile.

"The patriarch is not on this statue, but in our hearts. If there is nothing in your heart, no matter how devout your actions are, it is nothing more than having demons in your heart, leading you astray."

As he spoke, Dao Xuan Zhenren couldn't help but turn to look at Xiao Hui beside him. Then, his eyes narrowed, and he reached out to gently pat Xiao Hui's head, his expression warm and loving.

“Every drink and every bite is predestined. I see that the young layman is quite spiritual and has a connection with our Taoist sect. How could the patriarch blame him because of his background?”

"Thank you, Master-master!"

In fact, Zhang Xiaofan did not feel that Xiao Hui had offended him in any way. He had never shown any disrespect to the patriarch, nor had he disturbed the patriarch's peace.

However, in most people's eyes, it was an offense to the Three Pure Ones that Little Grey, a beast, led Big Yellow to offer incense to the statue of the Three Pure Ones.

Fortunately, Dao Xuan Zhenren was highly skilled and broad-minded, and did not hold it against him.
