Chapter 1,179 A Picture of Ascension and Harmony

The previous three Taoist priests, even if they did not wear hibiscus crowns or fish tail crowns, still looked like they were so-called immortals.

The three in front of me looked more like children from a wealthy family who traveled around the mountains and visited the mountains to visit immortals. The concierge monk was about to stop them and ask about their birthplace and family background.

The girl in the mink hat turned over the third-class innocent card of the Ministry of Justice, and the words were revealed.

The word "大銊" is very dazzling, but the word "三级" is slightly better.

The concierge monk still knew what he was talking about, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. He was actually the Immortal Master of Shangguo, an expert in the Department of Punishment of Dali.

Thanks to being a "third-class", it is not too scary. If a second-class priest comes to the Yufang Sect in person, in this troubled year when Da Li's national book "calls names", this concierge monk They were all worried about whether they would be wiped out.

My Yuan Ying Patriarch who just came out of seclusion may not be able to handle the situation.

I heard that as long as you have this sign, you can walk across the three continents of Aquarius Continent, Beiju Luzhou and Tongye Continent.

Especially in Tongye Continent, where we are like the good grandchildren of Aquarius Continent. In the early days, some wild cultivators were so bold that they first learned an authentic Dali Mandarin, and then copied a piece of innocent cards, and continued to cheat all the way. Eat well and drink spicy food. It seems that when our lower sect in Luopo Mountain, the Qingping Sword Sect was established there, and a deputy mountain chief of Xinwen from Tianmu Academy began to take charge of solving the matter personally, it was rumored that more than a hundred people were arrested in one go. After studying hard in the academy, such "featful feats" gradually disappeared.

To be honest, every time he looked through those Shanshui Di newspapers, those Tongyezhou wild cultivators not only defrauded money from various countries, but also defrauded the genealogy fairy's body. He was also moved after reading it.

Before passing the mountain gate, the scholar in green shirt walking in the middle did not forget to salute him.

The concierge felt a little more relaxed and returned the gift, thinking that they were more polite than those Taoist priests of the Shen Gao Sect since they had the official status of Da Li.

They climbed up the stairs. There were towering ancient trees on both sides of the road, with lush greenery, most of which were hundreds of years old. The quiet stone steps forced away the summer heat.

Xie Gou asked tentatively: "Mountain Master, even with the Gao Gu San Dao, are you still sure that you can't reshape the Yin Shen and Yang Shen?"

Chen Pingan shook his head. He said: "Absolutely impossible."

He hoped that both his husband and Li Sheng had misunderstood and said the wrong thing. Is it possible?

The most important of the three lectures given by Gao Gu during his last mission to the world in the Huayang Palace on Difeishan Mountain was how to build a bridge of longevity.

This has pointed out a clear and clear method for climbing mountains for many ordinary Taoists and mountain spirits in the world of Qingming?

It is true that most of them will not be able to successfully build a bridge after seeing this method, so they will climb mountains and embark on the path of spiritual practice. But based on Gao Gu's blazing insight alone, Gao Gu deserves to be said to have "immeasurable merit"!

Xie Gou directly felt the spirit of some Taoist priests in ancient times.

Not to mention the last oneThe first lecture "Talking about swordsmanship" only said thank you to the dog. If you have the opportunity to visit Difei Mountain in the Qingming world in the future, you must salute at the mountain gate. Or if he meets a Taoist official from the Huayang Palace somewhere in the future, Xie Gou will also be willing to be more patient.

Xie Gou continued to ask: "Does the mountain master still have a chance to refine the natal character of a Confucian sage?"

You like to rub salt into your wounds, don't you? Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Why don't you, Mr. Xie, go to Qingping Sword Sect as an errand with Chief Zhou?"

Xie Gou scratched his mink hat and said, "Then I don't understand."

It would be better if the mountain master still had an out-of-body yin spirit and a yang spirit outside his body, and Xie Gou wouldn't have to worry about it. Being the Grand Master of Da Li is just a matter of letting the Yin Shen travel far away from his body and go to the Imperial Master's Mansion in Da Li Capital every day.

To take a step back, if the mountain owner is really an orthodox Confucian disciple and secretly found the prototype of a certain natal character, it would be fine. Being the Great Li State Master is simply a tailor-made "dojo". For example, if it is "literary" or "sacrifice", then you can put more thought into the affairs of the Great Li Rites Department. If it is "martial arts", Ge, Rong, etc., they should either listen to the invitation of Li Sheng and settle for the next best thing. The focus can be on the Dali Military Department Office.

The problem is that these two paths are obviously unworkable.

Just carefully explore and verify the path of harmony, that’s all. But now Chen Ping'an is still in the realm of immortals, far from the stage where a man of enlightenment can calmly contemplate and take the initiative to get involved in the world of mortals. Could it be that the road to the great refining of all things was cut into a dead end by Jiang She? The Taoist priest Ding used to verify the feasibility of the "ascension method", but it also failed, and the mountain owner became discouraged. Feeling cold and depressed? Do you want to relieve your depression by busying yourself with worldly affairs and court affairs?

Xiao Mo suggested: "Young Master, why don't you look for some secret Taoist books? Of course, the best one is the one with a complete Taoist inheritance, which can help you master the Dragon Supporting Technique at the same time?"

Xie Gou nodded vigorously and said: "What a good idea!"

It is not a solution at all.

When you become a Great Li Imperial Master, you can’t just work a part-time job and have to make up for it yourself, right?

”

Xiao Mo smiled and nodded, “Of course you have to be careful.” A worshiper and a pair of Taoist companions, they are really worried about their mountain master's path to Taoism.

Generally speaking, when it comes to talking about Fu Long, you are destined to be unable to bypass Taoism. Chen Pingan served as the Great Li State Preceptor and spent twenty to thirty years, or at most a hundred years, making great contributions and helping people who have become one of the top ten in the world. The Great Li Dynasty, one of the great dynasties,The momentum is increasing day by day, and finally he has secured the top spot. When the time comes, he will leave the temple and return to the mountains. This is in line with the saying, "Retire after one's merits, this is the way of heaven."

Xiao Mo was thinking that the Taoist officials from Qing Ming Tianxia were the most proficient in this way. He could ask for a few copies from fellow Taoist Bixiao. As for the origin of Taoist books and traditions, then This is something that fellow Daoist Bixiao needs to consider.

Or go to the Sui Palace again? Ask Wu Shuangjiang for help? I believe that this person’s strategy will certainly not lack this. Maybe just wait for your young master to speak?

There are two types of Dragon Supporting Techniques in the narrow sense. Yamashita, for example, assisting someone to ascend the throne and sit on the Dragon Throne in troubled times, becoming the founding emperor. On the mountain, it is to assist the likes of True Dragon King Zhu.

Or more broadly, it means to come out to preside over the government, manage the world and benefit the people, assist the monarch to become the ancestor of Zhongxing, sustain the country forever, and make the sea flow and the river clear. Or it may be to help the last monarch, the monarch and his ministers work together to turn the tide from collapse, reverse the signs of troubled times, and turn the country into a peaceful country.

The most powerful one is, of course, the embroidered tiger that holds the sky and unites the power of a country to save the mountains and rivers of a continent from being broken.

When I walked near the mountainside, I saw large rocks rising up abruptly, with "Flying Immortal Terrace" carved on the cliff. The stone is carved into a stone slab, and the climbing ladder is like a line of sky. There are iron chains on both sides as railings for climbing down the mountain. A peaked pavilion crowns it, surrounded by moss and vines hanging down like hair, tender green and misty, charming and lovely.

Chen Pingan looked up at the "Flying Immortal Terrace", but had no intention of setting foot in the pavilion. He said: "It's not that it's useless. In the short term, in the past thirty to fifty years, the Dragon Supporting Technique that is biased toward Taoism has been used." There are indeed benefits to cultivating the Tao in governing the affairs of the Great Li Dynasty, but it’s just that there is a lot of meaning behind it. If Brother Cui were watching, he would probably look at me with a smile, as if to say, "That's it." /p>

Xie Gou frowned and listened to the implication of the mountain master’s words. Did he already think of more meanings? If you put yourself in someone else's shoes, Xie Gou would be annoyed. Is there really no way out?

A stream flies into the air and is crossed by a suspended bridge. Looking back from a bird's eye view, the mountain road disappeared into the clouds. I thought that the peaks were already under my feet.

According to mountain records, two streams named Chixi and Qingxi merge here. One is as red as blood, and the other is as green as jasper.

The Ancestral Mountain of the Yufang Sect is not a straight line leading to the Ancestral Hall, but a knife-cut mountain road, like the back of a crucian carp, leads to a higher mountain. Chen Ping'an found a piece of rattan at random, held it in the palm of his hand and lightly touched it, and it turned into an ancient hiking pole. He walked on the top of the mountain that was only a few feet wide. The path was paved with large bluestone slabs, and the two sides of the ridge were The sea of ​​clouds swelled against the wall, and under the sunlight, golden waves were set off. Occasionally, a flock of birds flew out of the sea of ​​clouds.

On the stone road, there was a clear sound of hiking sticks poking the ground. Chen Ping'an was silent for a long time and explained: "According to the established plan, my foundation in the immortal realm, If the fight is not bad, if you protect the Tao for Taoist Ding and observe the Tao, you will have a certain degree of enlightenment and ascend to the realm of ascension. You will be greedy and practice all things, and you will never be full."

"Step by step to reach the level of a martial arts god. Of course, it is best to be able to reach the eleventh level and achieve the ambition of becoming a god in the flesh before the age of 100. Living in a secluded dojo, taking care of drawing talismans, the more the better, millions and millions, for Set up a ladder. So even if there is no fight with Jiang She, I will only have the five elements of my life left, and everything in the human world will be reduced to chaos."

"What I seek is purity. The two-character Fourteenth Realm Sword Cultivation."

"The path to unity is to ascend to heaven."

"So it becomes the first thing to do in the Fourteenth Realm of pure sword cultivation. Just ask the sword carefully."

Xie Gou thought for a while and finally came to the conclusion that the mountain master is not stupid when it comes to practicing Taoism, and Jiang She really deserves a beating!

Chen Pingan looked calm, with no sadness on his face, not even anger.

Two cliffs faced each other. They were walking on a plank road facing the sun, and the sounds of apes and birds suddenly sounded in the mountains.

On the opposite cliff plank road, the light is so dim that pedestrians need to carry lanterns and light them, just like the tombs glowing with phosphorus fire at night.

Xiao Mo glanced at the opposite side. Those few were probably the handyman disciples of the Yufang Sect.

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "When I was a child, I had to grit my teeth and persist in living. I also had to live an upright and good life. Deep down in my heart, I naturally hoped that my neighbors would remember my parents for a long time. Well, no matter what, he left early, but he still taught a child with a tutor. So the same reason applies to taking over the position of Grand Master."

"Senior Brother Cui doesn't care about his death. Whether the reputation is good or bad, I care about the world's opinion and evaluation of Cui Han."

"I admit that I have obsessions."

"I want to correct it. Brother Cui has made mistakes, big and small, that he deliberately left behind, to make what was already good and right become better and more upright "good". This is a job where the examiner has left. The test paper left on "that desk" of senior brother, the good and bad of the Great Li Dynasty in the next hundred years, whether I can make the Great Li Dynasty that Senior Brother Cui and Mr. Qi place their hopes on become better, that is only in my own heart Countless answers. ”

“But if I stop here, then I am just a pure scholar with a good conscience? It’s just that as Cui Chan’s junior disciple who personally protected the Tao, and also served as the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall, I have no merit. Who will do the work? If I don’t take up the mantle of Cui Han’s work and knowledge, who can take over?”

“Emperor Song He really doesn’t want to completely get rid of the shadow of Xiuhu? He will lead the Dali Dynasty into a new world by himself? A brand new year? But I showed up and he had no choice."

This kind of thinking is human and perfectly normal. Originally, when old people such as Shen Chen, Changsun Mao, and Wei Li left the court one by one, whether Wei Liang, one of Cui Chan's confidants, would go or stay would actually depend on Wei Liang's interest. After that, whether it was Zhao Yao or Cao Gengxin, , Wu Wangcheng, etc., these newly-emerged important officials of the Great Li Central Committee will all revolve around the will of Emperor Song He, and over time,Over time, the monarch and his ministers reached a tacit understanding, and the latter began to rotate on its own.

The last time the Confucian Temple held a meeting, it was confirmed that all ministers of rites in various countries in Haoran Jiuzhou must be Confucian scholars from the academy, but the Confucian Temple finally gave them a buffer of twenty years. It is also very interesting to think that Li Huai, who is already a sage at Shanya Academy, may serve as the Minister of Rites in a small country in the south in the future. There was nothing I could do about it. On the school trip in the past, among the group of people, Li Huai was the youngest. He had to have someone to "protect him" when he pooped in the middle of the night.

As he approached the top of the mountain, Xie Gou asked in his heart: "Has the mountain master found a new way?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I have to give it a try. But I Unlike Mr. Cao, who would draft the draft first."

Xie Gou grinned, gave a thumbs up, and sincerely praised: "Master of the Mountain, if you are of the same age as us, that would be great."

Chen Ping'an didn't appreciate it and said with a smile: "In the Fuyaolu dojo earlier, which one offered water to the floor for fun?"

Xiao Mo looked at it with a smile. The girl in the mink hat with a blank face said angrily: "Play, continue to play."

Xie Gou asked cautiously: "

He is the senior brother of the mountain master. Helped pave the way?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head, "He doesn't bother to do it. As long as I don't stay in the dark, I can figure it out myself."

Xie Gou said doubtfully. : "The doorway is in the Imperial Master's Mansion? Is this correct? But I've even visited the main room and Cui Han's study. Why don't I understand?"

Chen Pingan said: " The same landscape, different people with different moods, how can they see the same way?"

Xiao Mo hesitated and asked, "Will the mountain owner want to be in the right place in the future?"

Chen Pingan laughed angrily and said: "Then how can I go to the colorful world, how to go to the Qingming world? Carrying the entire Aquarius Continent on my back?"

Xie Gou let out a wow , "Then it's really like no one has ever left home before or since."

Chen Ping'an pressed his fingers together to form a chestnut.

Remembering something, Chen Pingan asked in his heart: "Xiao Mo, you have reached the Fourteenth Realm. How do you see the world now?"

About what the monks in the Fourteenth Realm saw. The scene of "the way of the world" was described by Master Huolong on behalf of Xie Gou at the Fish Scale Crossing.

Previously, Chen Ping'an and Lu Chen temporarily borrowed Taoism to travel around Aquarius Continent, and they also had some unique "insights".

Xiao Mo said: "It can be roughly divided into three types of scenes. One is that you can see thousands of "Xie Dogs" on the mountain road for more than ten miles on the way here, like a frozen frame. The scrolls are connected together, and there are "Xie Dog" walking forward on the road at this moment, but there are not many, more than a hundred steps, dozens of people, and the figure will become lighter and lighter."

"The second kind is that seeing green mountains is like a sword, and seeing rivers and streams is also like a sword. You only need to move your mind slightly, and you can do whatever you want.Use the mountains and rivers as a long sword. ”

“The third type may be due to one of the natal flying swords. I can see a line of sword light hanging in the sky and the world.”

Chen Ping’an was filled with admiration and nodded: “ It’s really spectacular.”

Xie Gou rubbed his cheek, looking unhappy. In the past, she chased Xiao Mo to become a Taoist couple, but now...it seems that she is still chasing Xiao Mo?

Xiao Mo said: "Sir, don't look at her pretending here. According to fellow Taoist Bixiao, you could have seen or heard similar scenes at least five thousand years ago in Bai Jing. There are six kinds. Fellow Taoist Bixiao said that what she saw and heard was the "prototype of the great road". But because of this, Bai Jing was dragged down, as if she was suffering from "the disgust of heaven". She wanted to be among the ten. The four realms are more difficult than many talented people."

Xie Gou hugged the mink hat with both hands and shook his head, "Hey."

Chen Pingan was too lazy to speak.

I feel like I’ve been hit with a few more swords.

Xiao Mo turned to look at Xie Gou and said sternly: "Fellow Daoist Bixiao asked you not to continue to squander your talents. As long as you are unable to merge with the Tao for a day, no matter how many prototypes of the Tao are reserved for you in the world, What's the use?"

Xie Gou snorted, "He can control me? It's amazing to be at a higher level..."

Xiao Mo suddenly became angry and stretched out his hand to hold down the mink hat. , Xie Gou immediately changed his words: "It must be amazing!"

After all, they were close to the Patriarch Hall, and Yu Feng, a monk from the Yufang Sect, appeared here. She said bravely: "Our sect is convening the Patriarch Hall. We are discussing matters in the hall. Please kindly ask the distinguished guests to stop here."

My attention is focused on the girl standing in the middle of the mountain. I am afraid that she will fall out on the spot. Will I stop her when the time comes?

So she deliberately did not see the large Li Xingbu offering plaque on the waist of the girl in the mink hat.

Xie Gou deliberately picked up the sign, shook it, and took a look, do you recognize it?

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "We won't go to your Patriarch Hall, just take a look at the nearby stone tablets."

The female cultivator still looked embarrassed. The truth is of course this. The problem is that after you leave, what should I do if I am settled by the Qiu Hou of Zushitang?

Chen Ping'an, who had only slightly changed his appearance, took out a second-class nothing-nothing card from his sleeve.

It turns out that Zhao Yao was not polite to his junior uncle at Jianzhou earlier. Hearing that he was going to the Yufang Sect, he asked him to help deliver this innocent card. This time, more than 400 people were eliminated in the Qiu Kingdom at one go, and there were still only sixteen spies and dead soldiers who obtained the offering card or changed the level of the offering card. The rest were still just It is recorded in the record and adds a credit to the resume of the Ministry of Justice.

The female cultivator glanced and silently made way. This was the first time she had seen such a second-class offering sign issued by the Great Li Xing Department, and she had gained a lot of experience.

Some good people have estimated that the three types of peace cards issued by the Ministry of Punishment of Dali, and the first-class offering cards,Literally a handful.

The second-class one is probably the amount allocated to each state in Dali. You can weigh it yourself as to the weight of this brand.

The female cultivator guessed that this middle-aged scribe with an upright appearance was most likely the biggest spy in Hanzhou? It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. As rumored, the most powerful spies are those who blend in among the crowd and are people who can only look at them once but not look at them twice.

Xiao Mo felt helpless, Xie Gou worked hard to hold back his laughter, and the mountain owner looked as usual and walked calmly.

As a rule, the Yufang sect erected a monument on the top of its ancestral mountain.

The stele was written by the national master Xiu Hu himself, Zhao Duanjin of the Ministry of Rites was responsible for writing, the Ministry of Works was responsible for copying, and the Dali frontier army erected the stele in the mountains of various countries.

In those days, the timid and flattering Aquarius Island Immortal Family sect would erect a monument directly at the entrance of the Patriarch Hall, while the bolder ones would erect the monument at an inconspicuous place on the edge of the cliff and try to avoid seeing it as much as possible. Eye. The Yufang Sect belongs to the latter, but they also took advantage of it and built a pavilion specifically for this stone tablet to protect it from wind and rain.

On this side of the stone monument, there are already two groups of people in the pavilion.

On one side is the Taoist priest of Shen Gaozong and the monk Fu Ji from Hanzhou. The two siblings have the same eyebrows and the same eyebrows. Young Taoist boy, Yan prays.

One of the monks of the Dali Earth Branch, the female formation master Han Zhoujin, was born in the Qingtan Paradise of Shengao Sect and was no stranger to Fu Ji.

The other party is a Da Li spy, a direct disciple of the old master "Ling Gao", Hong Wei, tall and tall. Just now this man was bursting into tears in the Patriarch Hall, saying that the Master had already driven the crane to the west to return to Dao Mountain. In fact, he was the one who personally carried the Master to the back of the crane.

Then there is the handyman disciple who previously claimed to be in the cave realm and allowed his "Nascent Soul Patriarch" Pang Yun to kill him at will. His pseudonym in the Yufang Sect is Liu Wang, and his real name is Huang Qu. In fact, he is the person in charge of all the spies of Qiu State, and for the time being he only has a third-class sacrificial plaque. His immediate boss, the leader of the entire Hanzhou espionage team, was also his preaching mentor and leader of the Punishment Department Yamen. The old man was the second-class minister.

Huang Qu has just been promoted to be Pang Yun’s direct disciple. At least his status in the Yufang Sect has undergone earth-shaking changes. Just now in the Patriarch Hall, Pang Yun made up his mind and asked him something from the bottom of his heart. If he was designated as the next head of the Yufang Sect, could he, Pang Yun, get a big Li Wuji card? Huang Qu said that the matter needed to be reported to the Ministry of Punishment and he could not make the decision himself. Pang Yun asked him to be accommodating with the Ministry of Punishment in the near future.

Pang Yun is not on the two lists. On the one hand, the old monk was not deeply involved in the political affairs of Qiu State and had no interest in those temple struggles. In addition, he did go to the capital battlefield in his early years and stayed there for two years. For many years, as for the Nascent Soul Realm, I fought back and forth with a Yupu Realm wild monster... My own Yufang Sect and Qiu Guo's government and the public should just listen.

The truth is that Pang Yun was just fighting and cooperating on the Dadu battlefield, throwing away magical powers from a distance, or cleaning up the battlefield.

As for the affairs of Yufang Sect, the real Dongfu Realm monk Huang Qu is hereIn the light, sword master Fu Ji, who is a monk accompanying the Hanzhou army, is in the dark.

The official work of the Ministry of Punishment has come to an end, and everyone has gained something. The two parties can gather here to chat, and the love in the mountains always comes from this place.

Deep in their hearts, Huang Qu and Hong Wei naturally envied the origins and orthodoxy of this group of sect Taoist priests, but they were not overly jealous.

Fu Ji and the others respect the two Dali spies in front of them, who are said to be from the army, but they don’t really want to be promoted in the officialdom like them. As monks, they have gone through many experiences in the world of mortals. After all, We still have to go back to the mountains.

Fu Ji once saw with his own eyes an army of millions of wild monsters advancing like a tidal wave on the battlefield north of Old Dragon City.

Under the sunlight, the tightly formed Dali frontier troops and their talisman armor shone brightly... Fu Ji never wanted to see such a magnificent scene again.

Chen Ping'an and the others appeared in view, causing them to stop chatting in the pavilion.

Fu

Ji always felt that the middle-aged scribe holding a cane seemed to pay more attention to himself, which was strange. Wasn't it more beautiful with straight eyebrows?

Chen Ping'an stopped outside the pavilion, took out the second-class offering tablet, looked at Huang Qu, and said with a smile: "The Minister of Justice Zhao Shilang asked me to give this to you."

Hong Tuo punched Huang Qu on the shoulder, "Good guy, I got promoted! Remember to protect me from now on!"

Huang Qu grinned, silly and happy.

The Taoist priests in the pavilion also congratulated Huang Qu, and then they bowed their heads and left with their swords and wind.

Noticing the strangeness of the Taoist boy next to him, Qi Yan asked doubtfully: "Short-legged slut, what's going on?"

Yan Yan's intuition has always been very accurate. Could it be that that man Was the innocent card handed out a forgery? Was Yan Prai aware that something was wrong?

Yan Pray shook his head vigorously and said doubtfully: "I feel that that person looks familiar, but I can't remember him."

Fu Ji said: "Why do I feel that he is interested in me? ?"

Yan Yan and Qi Zhu immediately looked at each other, our master and uncle really love to joke.

Qi Mei’s expression was complicated, but he didn’t say anything. He seemed to be the fake swordsman next to the bearded ranger and the young Taoist priest carrying the mahogany sword in the haunted house outside Rouge County. Straw sandals boy.

The six Great Li Sword Boats did not return to the dock immediately, but began to go over the states where the vassal states were located.

Sun Mao, the general envoy who was nearly eighty years old, was transferred to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs just a few days after he was awarded the title of Bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion.

In fact, the old man who became the "Tianguan" of Dali was also surprised. But Ma Yuan, that little thief, actually knew that the "burning cold stove" was coming in advance and went to the General Affairs Office to gossip. A bunch of nonsense. Changsun Mao was reallyI haven't turned a corner, and I don't even dare to think about it. It's just an old saying, let Ma Shangshu's conscience not be eaten by dogs, and take care of Guan Yiran. If that little bastard can't get used to being in the Ministry of Household Affairs, You, Ma Yuan, go to His Majesty's side to help talk to him. Come to the General Affairs Department.

There were more than a hundred states in the Dali Dynasty, and there were various state guild halls of various sizes scattered in the capital, making it convenient for local officials to have a place to come to Beijing to discuss matters and report on their work. But not just any state can build its own guild hall near Qianbu Corridor. It can be slightly close to the imperial city, even if it is wealthy and has connections in the court. For example, only a few guild halls like Chuzhou and Hongzhou can. It can be close to Nanxunfang. In addition, some guild halls in big states are at most close to the inner city boundary of the imperial city.

In Xunfang, Qianbulangnan, Cao Gengxin persuaded Zhou Haijing to change Yan's name to Chen Ping'an and let him be the boss. He didn't need to pay for the work, and he only needed to get dividends every year. , Zhou Haijing has always been very wild in his way of making money, while Gaiyan, who opened a Xianjia Inn in the capital, is obsessed with money and can't get out of it. When they heard about this, they all felt that it was completely feasible, anyway, they Just like this, without telling Chen Pingan, they opened a teahouse together.

The teahouse is located in the Yuzhou Guild Hall. I don’t know whether to pay rent for use or not.

So when Feijian Chuanxin came to Jise Peak of Luolu Mountain and received the first dividend of dozens of taels of silver, even Chen Pingan was a little confused.

If we talk about the Qiu State matter, it was Chen Ping’an, the new Imperial Preceptor, who rushed the issue, but at least it was discussed by the Xiaochao Council through Qi and the Imperial Preceptor’s Office. Cao Gengxin, you guys can do it, how dare you You want to be brave, right?

In the dusk, a carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the Yuzhou Guild Hall. The driver was a handsome young man in a yellow hat and blue shoes. Chen Pingan, who had used a trick to hide his eyes, opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Xie Gou was not interested in drinking tea. He was busy writing at the Imperial Master's Office. He borrowed the study room from Sister Rongyu and concentrated on writing the landscape travel notes. From time to time, he asked Rongyu to help him take a look.

Cao Gengxin was entertaining guests and making tea himself. Sitting opposite him was Lou Mian, the governor of Yuzhou who had just come to Beijing on business.

Weizhou is one of the few large states in Dali. The governor, Lou Mian, is capable and has always had a good official reputation in the Dali temple. He pays special attention to the education and water conservancy within his jurisdiction and has outstanding political achievements. This is probably related to Lou Mian's own origin. He was from Yuzhou, and his ancestors were all farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky. He was born in Keju and was close to the Cao family of Shangzhu State. He was more than fifty years old. If nothing happens, we can still go up.

When Lou Mian came to Beijing this time, he did not see Cao Qiao from Shangzhu Kingdom for the time being, but Lou Mian was surprised that Cao Gengxin could sell this face.

Lou Mian smiled and asked: "Yuanmei, tell me, who do you want to introduce me to?"

Yuanmei is Cao Gengxin's name.

Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "He is the boss behind this teahouse, and I am just helping out."

Lou Mian laughed dumbly.

Lou Mian is the governor of a state, and his residence is specially arranged by the minister of Honglu Temple.Stay here.

Originally, there were some questions that I wanted to ask Cao Gengxin privately, such as the matter of Changsun Mao being promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and why the Great Li Sword Boat suddenly took off to inspect the boundaries of the states and vassal states, especially because it was rumored that there was someone in the imperial court. Plans to establish a road level above the state? But when they got here, Lou Mian had just started to talk, and Cao Gengxin interrupted with a random word. Lou Mian understood the elegant meaning of the string, so he just drank tea and chatted. In any case, the tea maker was a younger than him, a minister from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Cao Gengxin could still call him Uncle Lou and him call Yuanmei, which was a tacit understanding.

The door knocked softly, and Cao Gengxin raised his buttocks. Lou Mian had already stood up and opened the door first. In addition to the maid of the guild hall, there was also an easy-going man in blue shirt. Lou Mian was stunned. On the spot, the man smiled and stretched out a palm forward. Lou Mian suppressed the turmoil in his heart for a moment, immediately moved away, and slowly walked back to his seat. Before closing the door gently, Lou Mian said thank you to the maid.

Cao Gengxin smiled playfully, clasped her fists and said with a smile: "Chen Jianxian is really hard to invite. Come on, come on. Come on. Come on. Let me introduce you, Yuzhou Lou Mian. My name is Uncle Lou. Uncle Lou watched me grow up." ."

Chen Pingan smiled and nodded, sitting on the chair and taking the tea cup from Cao Gengxin, and Lou Mian followed suit.

Zhou Haijing and Gaiyan were sitting in the corner of the room next door. Their relationship has eased too much now. After all, they are business partners.

Actually, we didn’t talk about much during this tea. We just talked about the customs and customs of Weizhou and some interesting things about the officialdom of the capital. Mainly, Cao Gengxin was there to talk about things.

After drinking tea, Chen Pingan and Lou Miao walked in front. The corridor and stairs were only so wide, so Cao Gengxin followed them with a smile.

When going down the stairs, Lou Mian, who was not tall to begin with, turned slightly sideways, lowered his head slightly, and continued chatting with "Mr. Chen". Chen Ping'an had no choice but to put his hands on his sleeves , chatted with a smile.

Cao Gengxin, who was behind the stairs, saw an official at the door of the teahouse. He had his hands behind his back and the stars were shining over the moon. The official raised his head and was looking at the teapots displayed on the high glass counter. I saw the various tea utensils and tea cakes and commented a few words, and everyone around me burst into laughter. After going down the stairs, Cao Gengxin saw the official. He began to walk into the teahouse with great arrogance. With lightning speed, he lowered his head and bent over, leaving behind the group of people from Yuzhou County who were making money in the capital. The helpers who originally recommended coming here to learn more said that the owner of this teahouse has a good background. At this moment, he saw Lou Mian coming towards him. The official walked forward quickly and swallowed to moisten his throat. He suddenly stood in front of the governor two steps away and softly announced his identity to Lou Mian.

He is the governor of a state, a high-ranking official in the border area, in charge of sixteen prefectures and more than a hundred counties. If the governor doesn't recognize him, how can he not recognize Governor Lou? !

Lou Mian looked expressionless and nodded, "These are the two owners of the teahouse, Mr. Chen and Mr. Cao."

The official didn't know what was going on and didn't ask any questions. What,He just bowed his head and accompanied Governor Lou all the way out of the teahouse, and walked to a carriage that seemed to be huddled in an inconspicuous corner. Before Lou Mian got on the carriage, he glanced at the frightening magistrate of Honshu and said nothing. Say anything, get in the car, and slowly leave the Yuzhou Guild Hall.

Sitting in the carriage, Lou Mian closed his eyes and rested. It seemed that it was inevitable for the imperial court to merge several states and establish one. It was a good thing!

Before today, Lou Mian had no idea that Mr. Chen was in the capital. After drinking tea, many problems suddenly became clear to him.

Every subsequent decree issued by the Imperial Prefecture will be a strong pulse for the Great Li Dynasty.

A country is like a human body!

I just thought of the county magistrate. I only had a rough understanding of it

by looking through the files, but now I have completely remembered his name.

Lou Mian opened his eyes and moved his lips slightly, speaking in his hometown dialect.

Xiao Mo drove the carriage to the inner city.

Lin Shouyi has a small house in Dali Capital. In fact, I bought two houses in the early years, and one of them was previously rented out.

The person who rented the house was Wu Wangcheng, now the Minister of War.

His Majesty has given the mansion, and Wu Wangcheng has also moved in, but the rented house has not yet been returned.

For a person like Wu Wangcheng to be able to leave the battlefield alive, he is by no means a rough-and-tumble man or a foolish young man who is motivated by his own ambitions.

Chen Pingan folded his hands and tapped each other lightly with his index fingers.

Originally, two paths were envisaged. For example, if the method of ascension is realized in the immortal realm, one can successfully achieve enlightenment and ascend. Then, if one is unable to ascend to heaven and join the path, there is still a candidate path. Now that the steps have been disrupted, it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of changing the order.

Xiao Mo said: "Master, we are here."

Chen Ping'an stepped out of the carriage, knocked on the door knocker, and deliberately asked loudly: "Is Lin Yupu at home?"

Lin Shouyi just arrived in the capital today. He opened the door and asked doubtfully: "Since you are not collecting debts, why did you call me here?"

On the other side of Xiaomo was another person. With a smile on his face, he said: "I have met Mr. Xiao Mo."

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "I have met Mr. Lin."

Chen Pingan took Xiao Mo into the yard. He smiled and said: "Do you want to take part in the imperial examination?"

Lin Shouyi mistakenly thought that he heard wrongly, "What?!"

Chen Pingan said: "If I remember correctly, Didn't Uncle Lin always hope that you could become an official?"

Lin Shouyi had a confused look on his face and was speechless.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "My student Cao Qinglang is among the top three. I think you are a bit of a loser. It would be an unexpected surprise to be able to get the top two."

Chen Ping'an didn't hide anything either, and told the story of the "Future Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs" appointed by His Majesty the Emperor.

Lin Shouyi felt it was incredible and said with a wry smile:"It's all nothing."

Chen Ping'an said: "It's okay to pass the top three and have a Jinshi background."

Lin Shouyi asked: "You have become the new official Imperial Master?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said with a smile: "So I want you to go there to study. When I open the stove, I have a friend to eat with and we can talk about things."

Lin Shou thought for a moment and said, "I'll just move to your place to study. It's too uncomfortable. As for whether I can pass the Jinshi examination, I'll give it a try based on my ability. If it doesn't work once, it will be better twice." If it doesn't work every time, I will just be my cultivator."

Chen Ping'an felt relieved and said, "I'm just waiting for your words."

Lin Shouyi. Said: "Don't help cheat! You know my temper, be careful not to make friends."

Chen Pingan nodded: "Of course."

Lin Shouyi smiled and said: "Two It’s not difficult for a Jinshi to come.”

Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing.

Lin Shouyi suddenly said: "Actually, the official I most want to be is the headmaster of Shanya Academy or the headmaster of Chunshan Academy."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It's definitely possible. I can assure you that we are selfish in this matter."

Lin Shouyi stopped talking.

Chen Pingan said: "Come and sit with me when you have time."

Lin Shouyi asked: "You are in such a hurry to go back?"

Chen Pingan sighed, "You are an idler and I am a busy person, how can it be the same?"

Lin Shouyi did not hold back and sent Chen Pingan to the alley outside the door. When Lin Shouyi wanted to say something, he Chen Ping'an found his expression interesting, similar to when he was a teenager, and pretentious.

Chen Pingan waved his hand and got on the carriage. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he heard Lin Shouyi calling him with a smile. Chen Pingan stopped, paused, hummed, and got into the curtain.

Lin Shouyi’s title is "Little Master Uncle".

The Imperial Prefect's Mansion, the third main hall after entering the courtyard, was originally Cui Chan's reception and meeting place.

In the previous small court meeting, Emperor Song He once said that the "Mountain Methods" of the Imperial Prefecture would only be more powerful than those of the Royal Study. At that time, Chen Pingan was not afraid of overstepping even a single joke. When Chen Pingan calmly understood While getting a secret jade tablet that resembled a "Customs Clearance Document", when he actually crossed the threshold of the lobby and used the jade tablet to remove all the layers of blindness, he knew what it meant to have a different world, not to mention transgression, even rebellion.

Except for the alley outside the Imperial Palace and Renyun Yiyun Tower, Cui Chang can go anywhere in the entire capital through this place.

Chen Pingan chose the wing opposite Cui Han's study as the "small government office" for handling official business, but before letting the young man Han E enter the backyard, Chen Pingan personally rearranged the main room. Rong Yu and Fu Qing were on hand to help "move" geographical atlases and files from various government offices, including the official archives of the new Dali, and the treasury materials and secret records of the old country north of Dadu in Aquarius Continent. ,The hall quickly piled up.

A mountain of books makes a rustling sound as if the breeze turns the pages.

Chen Pingan dispersed his consciousness, glanced at the books, maps, and words, and found lines corresponding to them on the "wall".

Those who have seen it will return the fish and fuqing to their owners and place them back in the various capital government offices.

So they move books into the mountains faster, and books come out of the mountains faster.

Xie Gou felt like a spring of literary thoughts. He shook the page and blew on the ink. The more he read, the more satisfied he became. What a wonderful pen.

Rong Yu smiled and said nothing. Is the Imperial Master busy again?

Xie Gou stretched and asked Sister Rongyu to lead the way to the main room in the backyard.

Rong Yu led her across the threshold.

A "book wall" that is nearly nine feet high is hung with a huge map, colorful, which most intuitively reflects the national power and heritage of the Great Li Dynasty.

On that map, the golden circles marked the garrisons of various states like Muyugou in Handzhou, and the military docks like Huangtiandang.

The large areas in Dali were drawn in green colors. The main tributaries of Dujiang River. The khaki colors are the mountain ranges, the old Five Mountains of various countries, their origins and branches, as well as the household registration yellow books filed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, General Affairs Department, and prefectures and counties in the capital and capital. The light blue ones are the official schools, large and small academies, official roads and tens of thousands of inns in various states and counties, as well as hundreds of immortal sects, the places of the Shanshui Gods Temple enshrined by the Great Li court, the Wenwu Temple, and various other places. Level City God's Temple.

A map is like the meridians, muscles and bones of the human body, where qi and blood circulate.

To be precise, there are more than ten maps, layered on top of each other, with fine spacing.

The first layer at the bottom is the Great Li Territory Map with black characters on a white background, the second layer is the northern map of the old Aquarius Continent, the third layer is the golden distribution map of the Great Li troops, and the fourth layer The first floor is a map of the "flow of silver" and trade routes in the Great Li country, and the fifth and sixth floors are maps of old and new rivers...

Rong Yu and Fu Qing will easily get dizzy after looking at them for a long time.

It seems that the better your eyesight, the harder it is to concentrate.

Chen Pingan and Xiaomo quickly walked into the house.

Chen Pingan closed his eyes for a moment, searched his memory, stretched out his fingers, and countless threads spread out, like flowers blooming on the wall.

In an instant, half of the southern map of Aquarius Continent was filled in.

Chen Pingan suddenly twisted his wrist and hung the huge map upside down.

Bai Jing squinted his eyes for a moment, and then suddenly realized. No wonder Chen Ping'an wants to be the Grand Master of Da Li, to sit in the vacant chair, to replace the two senior brothers Cui Chan and Qi Jingchun to continue their profound influence on the Da Li Dynasty and Aquarius Continent. No wonder he would say that he is a Zhang asked and answered his own questions and answers, because he wanted to leave his mark on the mountains and rivers of the Great Li Dynasty! It is a unique manifestation of the great avenue!

Xiao Mo said with emotion: "This is the real "icing on the cake"."

Chen Pingan's eyebrows are flying., he drew himself a picture of ascending to Hedao!
