Chapter 195: Visiting Qingcheng
The Governor of Shuzhou, located at the end of the nine governors, most of the other governors are in charge of two states, and only the governor of Shuzhou is in charge of one state. One is because Shuzhou has a vast area, except that it is slightly smaller than Xizhou, it is far better than other states, and in terms of population, Shuzhou is far better than Xizhou. The second is that the world is not chaotic Shu first chaos, the world has been determined Shu has not been decided, this place is connected to the southern Xinjiang, Tusi often causes trouble, so the imperial court set up a governor here.
The Governor is in charge of the military and political powers, and under him there are the Governor in charge of civil affairs and the Admiral in charge of military affairs. Below the Admiral's Chief Military Officer is the Chief Officer of the Town Guard.
Looking at the entire Shuzhou, there are a total of four chief military officers of the town guard, namely the chief military officer of Shuzhong, the chief military officer of Jianmen, the chief military officer of Jinxiu, and the chief military officer of southern Xinjiang.
The rank of the four chief officers of the town guard is the same, but the order of the shift is different.
Among them, the general military officer of Southern Xinjiang mainly prevents the rebellion of Tusi in various places, and has the most soldiers under his command, and is also the most elite, ranking first. Splendid Mansion is the capital of Shuzhou, and the chief military officer of Splendid is in the second seat. The Jianmen Pass of the Sword Pavilion Mansion is the gateway to Shuzhou, and the location is dangerous, so the chief military officer of the Jianmen is ranked third, and the chief military officer of Shuzhong can only be in a certain position.
Speaking of Shuzhong Mansion, there is also a Quanzhen Taoist family here, the Tang family.
This is a rather special family, slightly inferior to the Yao family, Pei family, and Qi family, and slightly better than the Shangguan family, Xu family, and Ji family, between the two, and the Tang family is very low-key and rarely leaves Shuzhou.
Similar to this situation, there is also a Zhang family, this Zhang family is not one of the three major families in the world Taoist Zhang, but inherited from the previous dynasty first assistant Zhang Suqing lineage, living in Jiangling, entrenched in Huzhou, although it is important, but the act is more low-key than the Tang family, even if there is a big case of Zixian Mountain at the door of the house, he has never come forward, Zhang Jiaoling joined the Quanzhen Dao, and the Zhang family did not rush to join the sect with Zhang Jiaoling, like a hermit, so when the world talks about the Zhang family, it is generally said that the famous Zhang family. If you distinguish between the two Zhang families, the Zhang family of Zhang Yuelu is generally called Shangqing Zhang, and the Zhang family is called Jiangling Zhang.
Although Wanshou Chongyang Palace is located in Qinzhou, Shuzhou is the foundation of the Quanzhen Dao. In addition to the Tang family, the Qi family and the Ji family have also lived in Shuzhou for generations. There are two mountains in Shuzhou, one is Tiancang Mountain, which is not only where the Daofu of Shuzhou is located, but also the residence of the Ji family for generations, one is the Shu Mountain, the clouds are condensed and green, the makeup is far away, such as the head of the moth eyebrows, thin and long, beautiful and glamorous, also known as Emei, this is the four famous mountains of Buddhism, Buddhism and Taoism are miscellaneous, after the competition between Buddhism and Taoism, it is under the name of Daomen, and it is the place where the Qi family lives for generations.
On the contrary, the Pei family is a bit different, their ancestral home is located in Qizhou, and the Li family is a close neighbor, and they should be people of the Taiping Dao, and they have become a member of the Quanzhen Dao by various coincidences. However, it is also being cleaned up, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, but it is impossible to grow a tree under the big tree, and it is far away from the big tree of the Li family, but it can go to the next level.
This is where the situation of the Quanzhen Dao is complicated, there is no backbone like the Zhang family and the Li family of Taiping Dao, which are scattered and scattered, each with its own abacus, difficult to integrate, and serious internal friction, resulting in the strongest strength of the Quanzhen Dao, but it is counterpressed by the Taiping Dao. In other words, the Quanzhen Dao can still maintain this framework without moving and defending, but if you really decide to move, turn defense into offense, or even attack from all sides like the Taiping Dao, it is difficult to say the situation, at least the high-level leaders of the Quanzhen Dao do not have this confidence.
Qi Xuansu did his homework before coming to Shuzhou, he did not rush to Shuzhong Mansion, but went to Qingcheng in Tiancang Mountain first.
This is where the Shuzhou Provincial Government is located.
Of course, Qi Xuansu went to the Shuzhou Provincial Mansion not to find the real person in charge of the mansion, Qi Jiaozheng, to tear down the Qi family's affairs, but to meet Ji Daoren. Qi Xuansu remembered that the Ji Dao man who was kind to him said that he was named as a deputy mansion master in Shuzhou Dao Mansion, and there were only nine deputy mansion masters in total, so it should not be difficult to find.
Qi Xuansu walked all the way against the wind, and saw 10,000 acres of bamboo forest like the sea from a distance, and as soon as the autumn wind passed, the bamboo sea swayed with the wind, such as thousands of blue waves.
If it is summer, the bamboo sea is as cool as the early autumn season, and there is no half of the heat. It's late autumn now, and it's a little cool in this bamboo sea.
This bamboo sea belongs to Tiancang Mountain, because the bamboo forest is evergreen in all seasons, and the peaks of Tiancang Mountain surround, like a city, so it is called "Qingcheng".
In all fairness, the various palaces and palaces of the Daomen are never the same, but each has its own style, and they are all located in the beautiful places.
Qi Xuansu came all the way, from the Taiping Palace of Taiping Mountain to the Palace of Daxue Mountain, from the Shangqing Palace of Yunjin Mountain to the Wuxu Palace of Xijing Mansion, from the Summer Palace of Beibi Mountain to the Vientiane Dao Palace of Longmen Mansion, and then from the Chongyang Palace of Wanshou of Dilung Mountain to the Qingcheng of Tiancang Mountain, the scenery he saw was not repeated.
The organs of the Taiping Palace, the white snow of the Daxue Mountain Palace, the cliffs of Yunjin Mountain, the distant view of the Summer Palace, the upper palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace, and even the formation of the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and the bamboo forest of Qingcheng all made Qi Xuansu remember deeply.
Qi Xuansu didn't dare to fly directly into Qingcheng, but fell back to the ground early and hiked up the mountain.
There are spiritual officials to check their identity, but seeing that Qi Xuansu is dressed as a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, they are all very polite, and when Qi Xuansu shows the urn, he knows that Qi Xuansu is not only from the Quanzhen Dao family, but also from the Ziwei Hall, the head of the nine halls, so he is even more polite. After learning about Qi Xuansu's intention, he even personally led the way for Qi Xuansu, which couldn't help but make Qi Xuansu sigh that in the past, he went to Luzhou Provincial Mansion and Zhongzhou Provincial Mansion, but he didn't have such treatment.
Under the guidance of the two spirit officials, Qi Xuansu came to the periphery of Qingcheng.
The core of Shuzhou Provincial Mansion is called Shangqing Palace - there are a total of four Shangqing Palaces in Daomen, namely Shangqing Palace of Jinao Peak of Taiqing Mountain in Langya Mansion of Qizhou, Shangqing Palace of Yunjin Mountain Qionglin Peak of Shangqing Mansion in Wuzhou, Shangqing Palace of Qingcheng in Tiancang Mountain of Shuzhou, and Shangqing Palace of Cuiyun Peak in Beibi Mountain of Longmen Mansion.
The most famous is, of course, the Shangqing Palace of Yunjin Mountain, so when mentioning Tiancang Mountain, the provincial capital of Shuzhou, the Shangqing Palace is generally not mentioned, only Tiancang Mountain Qingcheng.
Shangqing Palace is the real person in charge of the house, the deputy lord of the Qing Palace is scattered all over Qingcheng, Ji Dao people because they are only named, and often go out to travel, do not take care of things, so his residence is far away from the Shangqing Palace, located in the periphery of Qingcheng, and is very simple, local materials, the whole is built with green bamboo, almost integrated with the surrounding bamboo forest.
Qi Xuansu's luck is good, Ji Daoren did not go out to travel today, but stayed in Qingcheng of Tiancang Mountain honestly.
After the spirit official was passed, Ji Daoren did not put on a show, and personally greeted him.
"The ancients said that Shibei should be impressed for three days. The last time I saw Brother Qi, Brother Qi was still a cultivator in the Jade Void stage, and now goodbye, Brother Qi has become a celestial, and he has entered the realm so fast, Zhang, Yao, Li and others are just like that. Ji Daoren said with a smile.
There are many people who are indifferent to fame and fortune in the Daomen, but there are almost no people who don't even care about the cultivation of the realm, after all, the fundamental purpose of the Daomen is to seek immortality, if you don't even want immortality, it will be too indifferent. The same is true for Ji Daoren, he doesn't care much about Qi Xuansu's promotion to the Fourth Rank Sacrificial Wine Daoist, but he is surprised by how quickly Qi Xuansu's realm cultivation has improved.
Qi Xuansu said humbly: "I first followed Qingxiao, benefited a lot, and got some chances, and then went to Vientiane Dao Palace to study, and was taught by Sun Lao Zhenren, so that he became a celestial." ”
"It's Uncle Sun of Vientiane Dao Palace, he is an old man of the 'He' generation, and he is also a loyal elder." Ji Daoren nodded and said, "Brother Qi is indeed fortunate to be taught by Uncle Sun. ”
Ji Daoren invited Qi Xuansu into the main hall of the bamboo building, although the bamboo building looked simple outside, but after all, it was the residence of the deputy hall master, and it was not only Ji Daoren who was here alone, but also his subordinates, so the interior was really carefully polished, not only not simple, but a little more quiet.
A Taoist priest brought tea to the two.
Qi Xuansu said: "It's a shame to say that I have known Senior Ji for a long time, and I have also inherited the favor of Senior Ji, and I still don't know the name of Senior Ji." ”
Ji Daoren smiled and said: "Since I call Sun Lao Zhenren my uncle, and I am a person of the whole truth, I am naturally the generation of the word 'teaching', my name is Ji Jiaozhen, the whole truth is true, but the words 'teaching truth' and 'more true' are homophonic, from childhood to adulthood, brothers and friends have made fun of these two words, and over time, I don't mention it much." ”
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and said, "I heard that when Zhao Fu'an, the chief military officer of Shuzhong, left White Emperor City, he was broken in an arm. Also, when I was recuperating from my injuries in the Akasanori, someone visited me. ”
While speaking, Qi Xuansu took out two small wine gourds from Sumeru, and the word "season" was written on the gourd.
Ji Jiaozhen didn't deny it, and said with a light smile: "It's not worth mentioning. ”
Qi Xuansu said: "For Senior Ji, it's just a gesture, but for me Qi Xuansu, it's the kindness of the five feelings." It has always been easy to add to the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. ”
