Chapter 157: The Venue of the Martial Arts Competition: Penglai Island
The Taoist priest also smiled and replied to me: "To be honest, this place will belong to these newcomers from now on. The next generation is also slowly rising. After this competition is over, I will hand over my position as Taoist priest. As long as they can carry forward the Xianmen Temple, I have no opinion on how the young people develop."
After hearing this, I also had a new look at him, and felt that these words could change some of my stereotypes. Following the direction pointed by the Taoist priest, I also saw a person. Needless to say, I can also guess that the person is Zuo Chenwei. His eyes are not that pure, revealing some fierceness, but wrapped in that gentle and refined manner. The feeling revealed is both insidious and handsome. This also reminds me of a saying on the Internet: I am not afraid of the villain being bad, but I am afraid of the villain being handsome. But how can he be a villain? Zheng Tianlong's expression is a little wrong. It seems that Zuo Chenwei's eyes are a little sluggish, as if he wants to but can't remember the feeling. Zuo Chenwei carefully looked at Zheng Tianlong for a few times, and also showed an expression of surprise, but also some relief, which made me even more confused.
After the Taoist priest saw us, he helped introduce each other and clarified to us that he did not intend to keep Zuo Chenwei, but he was indeed a talent. If our abilities were stronger than those of the Taoist temple, it would mean that the talent would follow us and would not be wasted. On the contrary, if our abilities were weaker than those of the Taoist temple, it would be impossible for Zuo Chenwei to follow us. The conditions set by the Taoist priest were also something we could not refuse, that is, if we defeated these people from the Taoist temple, Zuo Chenwei would come to our side, plus admission tickets for everyone. This also made our eyes sparkle, and we all wanted to rush up and compete at any time.
The Taoist priest gave us time to consider. I stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Taoist priest! This is just a formal competition. We'll stop when we're ready. Winning is enough. There's no need to think about anything else. We're very satisfied with your terms." After that, everyone on our side nodded in agreement. The Taoist priest didn't rush to schedule a match for us, but instead asked us to stay and rest for a while before everyone gathered to go to the competition venue.
I was curious, too. We didn't have that many tickets yet. How would everyone get in? The Taoist priest reassured us, saying he had his own arrangements. Wu Luansen guessed that the Taoist priest was also one of the organizers, which was why there were so many tickets available. Actually, the Taoist priest's goal wasn't winning; it was to get on board our ship. Only by building some connections could the Taoist temple continue to thrive. Otherwise, it could be a Xianmen Temple today and a scrapyard tomorrow.
After resting for a while, we were ready to set off. I didn't expect that there would be anyone from Penglai Island here. After arriving, I found that this is really a paradise on earth. It takes some effort to get here. If we hadn't asked the Taoist priests to lead us, we would not be able to get in at all. First of all, there is a circular road outside. When we detoured to the fourth floor, we drove in another direction. The reason for doing this was to be able to enter the mysterious entrance. After entering the entrance, there were clouds and mist everywhere, but this is not a real fairyland, but a kind of illusion. Only after we drove through this illusion can we reach our destination. This is why every step must be correct. The reason for setting up so many interferences is because we are afraid that some people will be too lucky and drive their cars here directly. But this illusion also has its shortcomings, that is, once a powerful monk with superb strength comes here, he can see all the illusions around him clearly. But then again, if there really is a powerful monk willing to come, he will be treated warmly, instead of being so sneaky, and there is no need to drive slowly and go through many obstacles.
After entering Penglai Island, we also saw many people. Each of these people was a powerful monk, and they were also considered a small elders' council here. But when I walked in from outside, I didn't greet anyone.
