Volume 1 The Seven Grades of Taoism Chapter 60 The Way Home
Under the command of Lingquanzi, the people of Tiangangtang successfully blew up the Thorn Mut Fort, and then returned to the Wuge Mountain to leave the city, only waiting for Zhang Yuelu's injuries to heal, and then set off for the Western Regions Daofu located in the Great Snow Mountain, and then they would take a flying boat from the Yaochi of the Great Snow Mountain back to Yujing.
After this battle, everyone's impression of Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu has changed greatly.
Zhang Yuelu took the lead, obviously with the highest position and the highest realm, but he was the most seriously injured, and no one could say that he was not half of it.
Qi Xuansu also proved himself, although he was only a seventh-grade Taoist priest in the Kunlun stage, but he killed the demon leader with one sword, this matter was seen by the head of Lingquan with his own eyes, and Arthur from the Holy Court testified, after Shangguan Dun's translation and publicity, it was already known to everyone.
For a while, Qi Xuansu's wind comments were reversed, and he was no longer a little white face who relied on nepotism in the eyes of everyone, but a stranger with real skills. As for how to "different" the method, no one has seen Qi Xuansu kill Diswin with their own eyes, so they can only imagine it.
Arthur has completed his mission, and he will return to the Holy Court to resume his life, and he has come to bid farewell to the people of the Daomen today.
Although it was Qi Xuansu who successfully killed Diswin, Arthur also contributed a lot, if he hadn't used himself as bait to make Diswin mistakenly take the "High Black Blood", the outcome would have been very unpredictable.
In fact, this killing of Diswin could not be attributed entirely to one person, but the result of the cooperation of the entire team, including many Taoist priests, if it were not for them to vent the yin qi and block the earth qi, so that the illusion of the Refno clan could not be cast, it would be difficult to successfully exterminate this group of criminals.
Because they had fought side by side, everyone in the Daomen had a good impression of this head of the Holy Court, and they saw Arthur off one after another.
Arthur finally said goodbye to Qi Xuansu alone, after all, during this time, except for Ellie, Qi Xuansu communicated with him the most, and the two still had some common language.
"Qi, if you go to the Western Continent in the future, remember to come to me." Arthur gave an address to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu solemnly put it away: "Definitely." ”
Arthur left Mount Ugo and set out on his way home.
Just three days after Arthur's departure, the people of the Daomen also left Ugo Mountain and went to the Great Snow Mountain Palace.
Before leaving, Zhang Yuelu left the Wupin Tongdao priest with Ai Li as agreed, and took Shangguan Dun away.
Shangguan suddenly got what he wanted, and was promised the birth of a nine-grade Taoist priest, and he was overjoyed, and he didn't miss it at all.
At the same time, Zhang Yuelu also sent a message to Mu Yan, telling them that they didn't have to come to Wuge Mountain again, and that they would stand by in the same place as the Palace of the Great Snow Mountain, waiting for them to go to the rendezvous.
Compared with the solemn atmosphere when they came, everyone in the Daomen who embarked on the way home was in a good mood, galloping on horses on the vast Gobi, even if the wind and snow were still blocking the road, they could also give birth to a bit of leisure and elegance in the snow.
Zhang Yuelu's injuries have healed, wearing a cloak and a hood, riding a horse to the front, very chic.
Qi Xuansu was slightly behind her by half a horse's head, but she didn't have Zhang Yuelu's ease. Zhang Yuelu, like Qi Niang, has always said the same, drinking is drinking, errands are errands, and the errand about the aftermath of the text summary still fell on Qi Xuansu's head, which made Qi Xuansu very distressed.
It was true that the Vientiane Dao Palace had taught how to write official documents back then, but after so many years, Qi Xuansu's sword and fire were quite proficient, but he didn't write much, and he had already forgotten about it, and now he wanted to pick it up again, it was a little sad, so Qi Xuansu took advantage of the time he was in a hurry and began to work early.
From the Wuge Mountain to the Western Prefecture of Daxuan, they all belong to the category of the Western Regions.
In the Western Regions, there are mostly the Gobi Desert, among which there are oases and cities, forming a scene of many countries. If you count the area of the desert and the Gobi, the Ugo Mountain is roughly equivalent to a prefecture in the Central Plains, but if you remove the desert and the next door, it is equivalent to a county.
The only exception is the Great Snow Mountain in the north, which was known as White Mountain in ancient times, and has snow in winter and summer, hence the name Daxue Mountain. The Golden Horde called it the Romanshan Mountain, as high as 21,900 feet, about 5,000 li long, about 600 li wide, the highest peak is Tomur Peak, and the Great Snow Mountain Palace is located under this peak.
The group lasted more than a month, through the vast Gobi, a city finally appeared in sight, this is the former drug donation country, belonging to one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions.
Speaking of the countries of the Western Regions, it is more appropriate to describe it as a wall grass. At the peak of the Central Plains Dynasty, the countries of the Western Regions submitted to the Central Plains Dynasty, and the Central Plains Dynasty also set up the Western Regions Protectorate, the Anxi Protectorate, and the Beiting Protectorate in the Western Regions, and when the Central Plains Dynasty was weakened, the countries of the Western Regions submitted to the Golden Horde and respected the Golden Horde.
In the second year of the gods, the country of drug donation belonged to the Western Regions Protectorate. During the period of the empress, it was divided into the jurisdiction of the Shule Governor's Office. Later, only half of the Great Jin Dynasty remained, all the Western Regions were lost, and it was ruled by the Golden Horde.
In the last years of the Great Wei Dynasty, the imperial court was too busy to take care of itself, and even Liangzhou, which led to the Western Regions, had been lost, not to mention the countries of the Western Regions, so all the countries of the Western Regions were subject to the Golden Horde. However, because of the internal strife in the royal court, the Golden Horde's control over the Western Regions was also greatly weakened, and the Western Horde countries did their own thing, and many Golden Horde nobles fled into the Western Regions to avoid the scourge of war, making the Western Regions more and more mixed and chaotic.
It was not until the Daxuan Imperial Court recovered Xizhou that the drug-donating country returned to the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Imperial Court and changed to a drug-donating county.
The Great Snow Mountain and Kunlun meet in the country of drug donation, Kunlun is the color of Dai, and the Great Snow Mountain is red. There are poems: the yellow sand is boundless for thousands of miles, and the Gobi is vast and cold-resistant. The red daisy is clear and strong, and the two mountains meet the two heavens.
When everyone left Yujing, it was late August, 50 days of travel, more than 10,000 miles, and when they arrived in the drug donation county, it was already early October, officially entering the winter.
Everyone is a servant of the wind and dust, even if the wind and snow are cold, the congenital people have no harm from the epidemic, and they can bear it, the key is that many people are about to vomit when they eat the "marching pill", if it is not for the replenishment of part of the supplies in the Wuge Mountain, the "marching pill" has not been eaten, and after the "marching pill" is exhausted, they can only gnaw some dry food that is as cold and hard as a stone, and it is really a bird that can fade out of their mouths.
Therefore, Zhang Yuelu decided to rest in the drug donation county for a few days, and then set off for the Daxue Mountain Palace.
The group entered the county seat, but it did not attract much attention, after all, this place is not far from the Daxue Mountain Palace, which is the core sphere of influence of the Western Regions Daofu, because there are often people in the Daomen passing by here, so there is also a Taoist temple in the city that acts as a post station.
The owner of the Taoist temple is named Xu Huiqian, a seven-grade Taoist priest, who is holding a cup of hot tea and sipping it lightly. After the winter, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, but the Guanli is directly under the Daxue Mountain Palace, the charcoal, firewood and silver money are abundant, and the room is very warm.
At this moment, a young Jiupin Taoist priest pushed the door in and reported: "Lord, someone is coming, dozens of times." ”
"How many dozens? Didn't Tiangangtang send someone again? What's going on this year, the shamanic gang is not done dancing the gods? Xu Huiqian hurriedly put down the tea bowl in his hand and got up to greet him.
When Xu Huiqian came out of the gate of the Taoist temple, he saw dozens of people and horses, all wearing uniformly standard cloaks and riding horses with the logo of Kunlun Daofu.
Xu Huiqian glanced at it, and when he was thinking about who was in charge, he heard a young man say: "Master, we are Taoist priests of Tiangangtang, and we are going to the Palace of Daxue Mountain, bothering the Lord to arrange a place to live, and then prepare some food." ”
Hearing the words "Tiangangtang", Xu Huiqian secretly let himself guess correctly, and hurriedly said: "It's a matter of duty." ”
The young man said again: "This is our Deputy Hall Master Zhang and Lingquan Master, both of whom are four-grade sacrificial wine Taoists, don't be negligent." ”
Xu Huiqian was shocked in his heart, the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall? There are already two deputy hall masters of Tiangang Hall who have gone to the Western Regions Daofu, and now there is another one? Is it possible to go to war with shamanism?
Thinking of this, Xu Huiqian looked in the direction pointed by the young man again, one was an elderly middle-aged Taoist, and the other was a young woman, taking it for granted that the middle-aged Taoist was the deputy hall master, and most of the young women were skilled, so he saluted towards Lingquanzi and said, "I've seen Deputy Hall Master Zhang." He saluted Zhang Yuelu and said, "I've seen the head of Lingquan." ”
At this moment, everyone burst out laughing, even Lingquanzi's face was a little smiling.
Zhang Yuelu didn't mean to correct it, but just ordered: "Deacon Qi, you can help arrange it." ”
In front of outsiders, the two still call each other their positions. And Zhang Yuelu doesn't know what kind of psychology he has, he has to hand over everything big and small to Qi Xuansu to do, as if he is used easily, and he is not used to using others anymore. In the eyes of others, I only feel that the relationship between the deputy hall master and Deacon Qi is very unusual.
Qi Xuansu was used to being supported by Qi Niang, but he didn't think anything of it, so he responded casually.
After that, Zhang Yuelu and the others entered the Taoist temple, Qi Xuansu stayed, and explained to Xu Huiqian: "Master, that girl is the deputy hall master Zhang, you recognize the wrong person." ”
Xu Huiqian said "Ahhhh ”
Qi Xuansu said: "Our deputy hall master came out of the Zhang clan of the Qing Mansion, a four-grade wine priest, and was just appointed as the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall by the rotating Dazhen not long ago,"
Xu Huiqian's heart and liver trembled when he heard this, the Zhang family of Shangqing Mansion was hand-picked by a rotating real person, at such an age, he really had a bright future, but I was afraid that he would have a place in Jinque in the future.
He suddenly felt apprehensive in his heart, and secretly wondered if he had touched the vice hall master's bad head.
Qi Xuansu saw what Xu Huiqian was thinking, and said comfortingly: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang is not a stingy person, so he won't care about this. The Lord of the Views still arranged the accommodation earlier, in addition to the two fourth-grade wine priests this time, there is also a sixth-grade Taoist priest, and the rest are seventh-grade Taoist priests, so it is best to follow the specifications. ”
Xu Huiqian hurriedly cheered up and wrote it down carefully, for fear that something would go wrong.
After Qi Xuansu finished explaining, Xu Huiqian beckoned the people in the Taoist temple to arrange a place for everyone to live.
