Fang Jian picked up Heidan and brought him before Erlang Shen, saying, "True Lord, look at his eyes."

Upon hearing this, Erlang Shen reached out and held Heidan's belly, took it, and then held it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

I saw that pair of dark eyes were extremely deep, spotless, clear and bright, as if they could see through all the illusions in the world.

"Hmm?" Erlang Shen was slightly surprised and said, "It's the Dongxu Tianmu?"

"Dongxu Tianmu?" It was the first time Fang Jian heard this name.

Erlang Shen nodded and said, "The Void Eyes can penetrate through all illusions and see directly to the true nature."

"No wonder!" Fang Jian suddenly realized, no wonder he could see through his own Ruyi transformation at a glance.

Erlang Shen said to Xiaotian Dog beside him, "It won't be unfair to you to become his sworn brother."

Xiaotian Dog was originally a little depressed about becoming sworn brothers with Heidan, but upon hearing his master's words, he immediately said happily, "Master, you're right. This is the only way to become Xiaotian Dog's little brother."

However, Heidan didn't say anything. Because Erlang Shen's divine power was too strong, Heidan was very frightened, so he kept lying in Erlang Shen's palm and whimpering.

Erlang Shen also noticed Heidan's mood. He smiled gently and placed him on the ground, saying, "Since Heidan is already Roaring Sky Dog's sworn brother... Commander Yao."

Yao Taiwei immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Second Master."

Erlang Shen said, "Register Heidan in the divine register and place him at the Erlang Temple. Confer him the title of... Mountain Patrol Captain. Once he's registered, immediately report to the Taixuandu Province."

"As you command." After receiving the order, General Yao immediately turned to Heidan, who had already run to Roaring Sky Dog's feet and asked, "Heidan, do you have a name?"

Heidan scratched his ear with his claws and said, "Master said my name is Xu Hongyuan."

General Yao nodded, then registered Heidan in the divine register, left the hall, and headed for Taixuandu Province in the Heavenly Palace.

After General Yao left, Erlang Shen said to Howling Sky Dog, "From now on, you will lead him. First, teach him the way of cultivation, and second, take him to patrol the mountains and drive away demons."

Roaring Sky Dog nodded and replied, "Yes, Master."

Heidan raised his head and said, "My master is worried about me, what should I do?"

Roaring Sky Dog asked, "Where is your master?"

Heidan said: "In Lingxia Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou..."

Roaring Sky Dog laughed when he heard this and said, "That's nothing to be afraid of. Just follow me and practice your skills. If you miss your master, I'll take you back to see her."

Heidan heard this and immediately jumped around Xiaotian Dog happily, "Brother, you are so nice!"

Roaring Sky Dog was even happier. Now he had a follower... no, a dog. Roaring Sky Dog said to Erlang Shen, "Master, I will take him to the mountains to familiarize himself with them."

Erlang Shen smiled faintly and said, "Go, but don't cause trouble."

"Master, don't worry!" Xiaotian Dog said, and immediately patted Heidan's head and said, "Let's go."

Heidan turned around, staring at Fang Jian with dark eyes and asked, "Uncle Master?"

Fang Jian smiled and said, "Just follow your elder brother."

"Thank you, uncle master!" Heidan responded happily, then ran out of the hall following Xiaotian Dog.

After Xiaotian Dog and Heidan left, Erlang Shen asked Fang Jian, "There are several judicial gods of the Heavenly Court in Southern Jambu Continent. Do you want to go find them first? Or go directly to Mount Emei?"

Fang Jian thought for a moment and said, "I plan to first visit my colleagues at the Heavenly Court, and then go to Mount Emei. Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's favor is simply to preserve a lineage of Buddhism in Shu County amidst the Tang Dynasty's suppression of Buddhism."

Erlang Shen asked, "So what are your plans?"

Fang Jian said, "It's not the place for my Heavenly Court to interfere in the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism, but if we can preserve the Buddhist tradition of Mount Emei, it will be a thorn in the side of the Taoist sect that they will always be wary of."

Erlang Shen nodded and said, "You are the only one who can do this. You owe a favor to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, so helping Mount Emei is both reasonable and justifiable."

At this point, Erlang Shen said to Fang Jian, "You know, my master, Jade Ding Zhenren, is a Daoist Daluo. Even if I wanted to help you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything when the time comes."

Fang Jian said, "I understand your intention, but please rest assured, I have my own plans."

"That's good." Erlang Shen nodded and said, "But don't worry, I will do my best to make things convenient for you within Shu County."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Master."

...

Jambu Continent, Tang Dynasty, Jade Emperor Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Jade Emperor Mountain, as its name suggests, is the fairy mountain dedicated to the Jade Emperor.

The mountains and rivers of Jiangnan are elegant and bright, and this is the case with Jade Emperor Mountain. The mist and water are hazy, and the mist is ethereal. It is really like: the misty mountains are like the immortal palace, and the purple air is like the Taoist's home.

Fang Jian was walking on the broad bluestone road of Yuhuang Mountain, holding an oil-paper umbrella. Although there was a drizzle in the sky, not a single drop of rain fell on Fang Jian.

"Mom, look, that person is so strange. He has an umbrella but he doesn't open it. He insists on leaning on it." A young man's voice came from the bluestone road not far away. Fang Jian looked up and saw a beautiful and dignified woman holding an umbrella, followed by a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old, who was also holding an umbrella.

The woman was very young and looked like a sister to the boy, not like mother and son at all.

But when Fang Jian's gaze focused, he saw that the woman actually had the ability of a true immortal, and there was also a trace of the Immortal Official Jade Disc on her body.

The woman smiled and looked in the direction the young man pointed, but the moment her eyes fell on Fang Jian, her expression changed instantly.

Then the woman quickly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and said to the young man: "Jin'er, your father is still waiting for us at home, let's go back quickly."

"Okay." The young man named 'Jin'er' nodded obediently, then followed the woman down the mountain.

Fang Jian looked at the young man and the woman, especially the woman, and a hint of doubt suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Could it be another fairy who wants to return to the mortal world?" Fang Jian frowned, first memorized the direction the woman left, and then entered Yuhuang Mountain with doubts.

There is a large Jade Emperor Temple in Jade Emperor Mountain, and in the Jade Emperor Temple there are Taoist priests specially appointed by the Tang Dynasty to worship the Jade Emperor.

However, there are now six more Taoist masters hanging up their names in the Jade Emperor Temple. They are: Taoist Master Changxia, Taoist Master Shuting, Taoist Master Quanjing, Taoist Master Shaoling Shao, Taoist Master Songci Song, and Taoist Master Ke Mengqing Ke.

The arrival of these six real people has made the Jade Emperor Temple much more popular than before.

When Fang Jian entered the Jade Emperor Temple, he felt the aura of six people. Five of them were in normal condition, and one of them had a smell of alcohol in his aura. He thought it was Master Shao, who loved drinking the most.

After Fang Jian sensed these six people, he leaked a little of his aura out. Then, except for Master Shao, the other five masters immediately left the temple, and after a flash of inspiration, they appeared in front of Fang Jian.
