Chapter 143: One Dynasty and Five States
"Little friend, don't leave in a hurry, if you can make up your mind to set up a society for the common people, Poor Dao will naturally not teach you to do it empty-handed. The white-eyed Taoist gently pulled Mo Li, returned to sit on the couch, and personally filled the teacup in front of Mo Li with tea soup, and continued: "The land of Shenzhou is vast, with a radius of tens of millions of kilometers, do you know the geographical situation of Shenzhou?"
Mo Li took a sip of the teacup and shook his head.
Seeing Mo Li shaking his head, the white-eyed real person looked out with joy and said: "I think the land of my Shenzhou is so vast and vast, if it is divided according to strength, it can be divided into one dynasty and two prefectures, five states and ten places. ”
Although Mo Li was familiar with the Xuantian Sect's Tibetan scrolls, he still knew the most about the cultivation realm, and he didn't know much about the human geography of the mortal realm.
"Little friend, you have lived in the mountains for a long time and are dedicated to cultivating, so naturally you don't know much about the world. The white-eyed Taoist smiled happily and continued: "The so-called one dynasty and two mansions. The first dynasty is the Celestial Empire, which is ordered by the heavens and rules the world; the second government is the Qingxiao Mansion in Southern Hunan and the Tiance Mansion in the North Luo, which are bounded by Xiangshui and Luoshui, and belong to the Celestial Empire, which are divided and autonomous, and the so-called rule on behalf of the monarch. ”
"I have heard of Qingxiao Mansion and Tiance Mansion, I thought that they were just two institutions subordinate to this dynasty, but I didn't expect that the power was so great, and they each governed the almost ordinary mountains and rivers. Mo Li was surprised, and continued to ask: "Could it be that the king of this Heavenly Dynasty would be so relieved to hand over such a vast land to the Second Mansion for governance?"
This is both the brilliance and the failure of the kings of the Celestial Empire. After the first generation of monarch Ze was ordered by the heavens to establish the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, because the entire land of Shenzhou was too vast, Ze was grateful for the great military exploits made by the brothers who were born like this, and when he was about to be canonized, a new conflict occurred. ”
"The so-called sharing hardships is easy, but it is sweet and difficult. At the first sight of the dynasty, the generals with heavy troops began to plot power, and the conflict between Xiao Xiangyu, the lord of Qingxiao Mansion in the south, and Luo Heng, the lord of Luo Tiance Mansion in the north, was the most intense. Ze, heartbroken, but he couldn't bear to kill the lord of the two mansions who was born and died with him, so he weighed it again and again, and finally decided to divide it into three with Xiangshui and Luohe as the boundary, weighing the north and south, dividing and autonomous, Xiaoxiangyu and Luoheng suddenly reconciled, and Shenzhou has been peaceful for nearly a thousand years. ”
"With Ze's death and the replacement of future generations as the lord of the Heavenly Empire, the contradictions between the north and the south began to intensify, especially in this generation, the conflict is even more serious. ”
"Ze, do you really have such a big mind that you are willing to divide the land between the north and the south to Qingxiao Mansion and Tiance Mansion?" asked Mo Li.
"Why Ze was able to make such a decision, I'm afraid only they know. The white-eyed Taoist said with a smile.
"Since the conflict is so fierce, haven't the previous lords set out to resolve this matter?" asked Mo Li after taking a sip of tea.
"Hey, even if you want to, you can't do anything about it. The white-eyed Taoist sighed, then showed a disdainful expression on his face, and continued: "After Ze's death, future generations are not as good as the next generation, the power of the central region north of Xiangshui and south of Luoshui is declining day by day, how can there be the respect of the former lord. Now, it's ridiculous to let two women become the heads of a country!"
Although Mo Lizhong did not agree with the patriarchal thinking of the Baimei Dao people, he was a little more sad about the historical changes of the Celestial Kingdom, the gods fought, and the little ghosts suffered. The struggle between these representatives of political power ultimately harms the innocent people. He sat on the sidelines, teacup, and was silent for a long time.
The white-eyed master didn't bother him, but sat on the side and drank fragrant tea quietly. When it was late, Mo Li came back to his senses, took a long breath of turbidity, looked at the white eyebrows who were drinking tea on the side, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Real person, it's rude, I was distracted just now." ”
"Haha, Xiaoyou is a man of temperament, don't worry. Bai Mei laughed, put down the teacup and said: "Xiaoyou, I see that it is getting late, if you don't dislike Baiyun Guan Xiao, how about living here?"
"Real person, that's too polite. If you don't disturb the real person, we will bother here for one night, or talk with the real person at night. ”
"Okay, Wencai, you clean up the room for the two little friends. Bai Mei looked at the little Taoist priest beside him with kind eyes.
"Yes, disciple will go and clean up. As soon as the little Taoist priest finished speaking, Youruo said a little shyly: "One room is good." ”
If my sister found out, she would definitely be angry. Mo was in a mess, but it was not good to say anything in front of Bai Mei, so he could only drink tea in embarrassment. Bai Mei squinted at Youruo for a moment, then looked at Mo Li, and smiled without saying a word.
"Ahem, ahem. Mo Li felt the gaze from Bai Mei that seemed to understand everything, coughed twice in embarrassment, and then changed the topic and said, "Real person, what do you mean by the five states and ten places you just said?"
Bai Mei smiled and said: "Five states and ten places? These five states are talking about the latest pattern of the land of Shenzhou, where the Zhongzhou Heavenly Dynasty Kingdom is located, also known as Zhongtianzhou; ”
"The two places are divided into four states, could it be that there is a problem within Tiance Mansion and Qingxiao Mansion? I heard that Tiance Mansion is currently very powerful, and many cultivators have joined it, how can it split the land of Beiluo?"
"Monk, this is the root. Although it is said that the whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister. However, the vast land of Shenzhou, even the county government of this dynasty can hardly govern every inch of mountains and rivers. For example, the western frontier land, the extremely cold land in the north, the Fusang land in the east, the Ryukyu land in the south, and then there are the various sects in my cultivation realm, in fact, there are many things that cannot be taken care of by this mortal monarch's power, and many places cannot be governed. ”
"A few years ago, all of a sudden, the cultivators of various factions were not as good as Hongchen, playing with power, and the situation in the north and south was treacherous for a while. Take Qingxiao Mansion as an example, the internal division, the Xiaoxiang family has become its own family, and the children of the new clan have become another family, and many cultivators have infiltrated and supported behind them, forming today's Qingzhou and Xiangzhou. ”
"The same is true of the North Luo Tiance Mansion?"
"The land of Beiluo is a self-contained cultivation style that came out of nowhere, attacking the city and pulling out the village, and soon took the land of Hezhou. However, there is no problem within the Tiance Mansion, and many monks from famous families have joined, and at present, the strength is actually greater than that of the other three states. ”
Speaking of this, Bai Mei looked at Mo Li and paused. Mo Xuan sank, originally Qing Xuanzi and Dingyang Zhenren mentioned this matter, although he attached importance to it, but he didn't expect that the monk really had no scruples, and the form was so grim.
He continued to ask, "True person, what is the current situation in Zhongtianzhou?"
"Zhongtianzhou, on the surface, looks peaceful, but in fact it is not much better. Bai Mei paused, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and continued: "Zhongzhou, now that women are in charge, many monks covet the royal land of Zhongzhou, and many forces have already infiltrated it. Today's tranquility is only maintained because Tiance Mansion is maintaining, after all, one is prosperous, and one is lost. If Zhongzhou falls, the next ones to fall may be Luozhou and Xiangzhou. ”
If the current situation continues, the final result is that the entire mortal realm may no longer exist. Mortals and monks break the shackles, and the results will be unimaginable.
"Real person, what are the ten lands?" asked Youruo suddenly while Mo Li was pondering.
"Ten places are easy to say, they are ten desperate places, or places left over from ancient times, or places of killing arranged for predecessors, in short, they are full of dangers and dangers, but they are also full of opportunities, which is why monks will go to the fierce places in an endless stream regardless of life and death. ”
"Thank you for your answer. "You Ruo Wan'er replied.
At this moment, the little Taoist priest who was called to be a scholar walked in and said, "Master, the rooms of the two donors have been prepared, and the meals have been delivered to the room. ”
Bai Mei nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"Two, it's getting late, and Poor Dao won't keep you anymore, Wencai, you can take the two little friends to the wing. ”
......
In the side room, Mo Li sat at the table and asked, "Youruo, this man and woman are different, why did you ...... just now?"
"Childe, Youruo......" Youruo stood aside, rubbing her fingers shyly.
"Rest on the couch. ”
"What about you, Childe?"
"I'm just meditating. ”
"Childe, you better go to the couch, I'll just sit here. ”
"It's okay, listen to me. ”
"Childe, in fact, I can ......" Youruo's face flushed, and her body flashed with purple light, blending into Mo Li's right arm.
Mo Li only felt a burst of warmth in the arm of his right hand, and asked, "Youruo, why did you attach yourself to me." Quiet, secluded......"
If you didn't answer, Mo Li smiled bitterly, lay on the couch, and fell asleep.
