Chapter 96: Opportunity of Wanzang Pavilion
"Hmm?" Li Fan turned around and looked at Manager Zhao.
Manager Zhao couldn't help feeling a little nervous when facing the legendary immortal master.
He considered his words carefully and asked cautiously, "This Immortal Master seems to have a good relationship with Immortal Master He?"
Li Fan was about to answer, but suddenly remembered something. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Daoyou He and I have known each other for nearly forty years, and he has taken great care of me. I was away on business before, and I didn't know he had passed away. I was shocked to see Daoyou He's tablet today."
"I can only offer one stick of incense..."
Having said that, Li Fan shook his head and sighed.
Manager Zhao also said with emotion: "It has been twenty-six days since I learned of the death of Master He and set up a mourning hall for him. Master, you are the first and only one to come to pay tribute to him."
"Dozens of immortal masters have come to the island, either to search for his relics or to compete for the position of immortal master guarding Liuli Island."
"Now that the new guardian immortal master has taken office, it will be difficult for me to keep my position as the manager."
"I have never been able to fulfill Master He's request before he died, and I feel really guilty about it."
"Luckily I met you today."
Manager Zhao looked relieved.
"What is Brother He's request?" Li Fan was stunned.
"Yes. Master He once gave me something before he died, and asked me to give it to the first Taoist friend who came to pay tribute to him after his death if he met with an accident in the future." Manager Zhao answered truthfully.
"Why would he give things to a mortal like you?" Li Fan was a little surprised after hearing Manager Zhao's answer.
"To be honest, Master. In my early years, by chance, I saved Master He's life. Master He originally wanted to take me to practice, but I was afraid of the difficulty of practicing Taoism, so I just asked for a job."
"Over the years, I have been serving Master He. That's why I have gained his trust." Manager Zhao said, his face half proud and half sad.
It seems that this is the case.
I heard Manager Zhao talk about this in my previous life.
Li Fan nodded.
"Besides, it's very safe to keep it with me. After all, who would have thought that the immortal master's relics would be handed over to a mortal? The immortal masters who have come and gone these days have never looked at me straight in the eye..." Manager Zhao stopped talking halfway when he realized that something was wrong.
He quickly turned around and took out a small square box from under He Zhenghao's spirit tablet.
This small square box seems to have the effect of isolating spiritual consciousness. Even though Li Fan was standing in front of it just now, he didn't notice it.
"The things in this box are the relics of Master He. But I don't know what they are used for." Manager Zhao handed over the box and said nervously.
Li Fan opened the box and saw a talisman in the shape of a swastika.
It looks familiar.
This is not...
Li Fan took out an identical one from his storage ring, except that the aura on the talisman was different.
It was the talisman that foreign monks needed to carry with them when entering and leaving Wanxian Island for the first time.
Li Fan still remembered that when He Zhenghao introduced it to him, he said that this talisman was worth 100 contribution points.
But what is the use of this thing?
Li Fan was a little confused for a moment.
However, he still put the wooden box away.
Looking at the somewhat nervous Manager Zhao, Li Fan thought for a moment and said, "I'll go and talk to the new garrison commander for you, but as for whether he can keep his position, I can't guarantee it."
Manager Zhao was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Li Fan waved his hand and flew away.
Manager Zhao continued to kneel on the ground, not daring to move.
After waiting for a long time, he slowly stood up.
Looking at He Zhenghao's spirit tablet, he said in a low voice.
"Finally, I got rid of this hot potato. These days, I couldn't even sleep well looking at the immortal master flying around overhead."
"That man just now was not lying, and he was also the first one to pay tribute to you. Giving your relics to him is in line with your wishes."
"I won't feel uneasy."
After a long silence, Manager Zhao whispered again: "Those who cultivate immortals die earlier than me. No one collects their corpses."
“It’s really boring.”
…
Li Fan took the wooden box and came to the island protection formation, where he met the strange monk again.
The strange monk was named Ning Wenxing. He was appointed as the new governor of Liuli Island after a series of negotiations.
Li Fan did not mention the relationship between Manager Zhao and He Zhenghao, he just said that Manager Zhao had an old relationship with him, and wanted to see if he could retain the position of Manager of Liuli Island's finances for him.
It’s just a mortal position. Yu Wenxing thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Li Fan thanked him.
After the two sides exchanged communication talismans, Li Fan hurried back to the Tianxuan Mirror.
After some searching, Li Fan finally figured out the function of the talisman.
In addition to being used as a pass to enter Wanxian Island, the talisman can also be used as a voucher for accessing items.
The items are not stored in the Tianxuan Mirror, but in a place called "Wan Zang Pavilion".
Usually, what is stored is not precious.
These are often the inheritances that monks leave to their mortal relatives during their lifetime just in case.
Only after the monk's death can his mortal relatives take out the inheritance with the help of the talisman.
Therefore, the Wanzang Pavilion is not on Wanxian Island, but on Youlan Island in the north of Congyun Sea.
After figuring out the purpose of the talisman, Li Fan did not delay and went to Youlan Island and finally took out He Zhenghao's belongings.
A jade slip.
At first, Li Fan thought it was some kind of martial arts.
Only after he read through the contents of the jade slip did he understand.
The jade slip contains a work that He Zhenghao has not yet completed.
"Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Array Diagram".
The book records in detail He Zhenghao's various special insights into formations and some innovative ideas over the years.
Along with this book, there is also a message from He Zhenghao.
He said that he only loved the art of formation in his life.
After decades of hard work and many setbacks, he finally managed to complete most of the "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Array Diagram".
In theory, this expedition to the cave should not be very risky.
But don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for one.
If something unexpected happened, death would be a minor matter. But I was afraid that my life's work, "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Formation Diagram", would be buried forever.
Therefore, a backup plan was made. Any acquaintance cultivator who hoped to obtain the talisman could hand over the "Detailed Explanation of the Hundred Meridians Formation Diagram" to any formation master on Wanxian Island, hoping that he could complete it.
In the end, He Zhenghao couldn't help but complain.
He talked about the various benefits of the "Sitting in the Mountain" practice that he had been practicing.
Unfortunately, it is too difficult to practice.
If not for this, he wouldn't have to take the risk of going to this ancient cave just to change his skills.
…
"Mountain Sitting Technique? Fellow Daoist He, you really gave me a difficult problem."
After putting away the jade slip, an inexplicable look flashed in Li Fan's eyes.
