Payiti, the legendary city of gold.

Just like Kunlun, Kunlun in the narrow sense is naturally the vast mountain range west of the Kunlun Pass, and Kunlun in the broad sense also includes the Kunlun Cave Heaven.

The same is true of Paititi, which includes the legendary holy city, the forgotten city, and the golden city in the broad sense, and the Paititi in the narrow sense is the new capital of Tawantin today. In order to distinguish between the two, the new capital that replaced Cusco was called New Paititi, and the golden city was called Old Pajtiti.

Qi Xuansu once got a map from Wang Jiaohe's hand, and also got a key from the baron's hand, both of which were related to the old Paitti.

The key is how to get into Old Pajtiti.

However, this matter can be put aside for the time being, and there is no hurry for now, the key is the new Pa Yi Titi.

That high-ranking traitor to Tawantin is in New Paitti.

The situation is most complicated here, when the new Paititi is not on a par with the Imperial Palace, nor with the Jade King, or even with St. York.

Yujing is a city of Taoist priests, the absolute central core of the Daomen, although it is the three Dao in charge, and there is a lineage of the Great Palm Sect, but in general, there are only Daomen forces in Yujing City.

Dijing is the absolute core of the Daxuan Imperial Court, although there is the existence of Daomen forces here, but Dijing Daofu ranks last among many Daofu, in essence, it is still dominated by the forces of the Daxuan Imperial Court.

St. York is weaker than the Imperial Palace, but it is the two major forces, the Steam Gospel and the City Council, which is mainly based on the Steam Gospel and supplemented by the City Council, but the power of the City Council is stronger than that of the Imperial Palace, and it has greater independence.

There are four forces in the new Payititi: the royal family, the military, the priests, and the Western Daomen.

Some people may want to say that Yujing also has four forces, but in fact, it is completely different. In any case, there are many consensuses among the three Daomen, such as recognizing that the Taishang Dao Ancestor is the ancestor of the founding of the Daomen, and that the Xuansheng is the ancestor of the Zhongxing of the Daomen, but it is difficult for the several forces of the new Pa Yi Titi to even condense this consensus, because Tawantin is essentially a synthesis of the three empires.

The three empires failed in different ways.

The first empire, Nokhpeten, was originally located in the Northern Continent, which was the most completely wiped out, the army has been completely wiped out, the royal family has also died, and even most of the people have been scalped, but the god system of the New World mainly originated from them, the ancient gods led by Kukulkan lost the divine war and were defeated by the apostles of the Holy Court, but they did not die, so under the protection of the ancient gods, the priest class was able to survive, moved south to the Southern Continent, and got the help of Xidaomen.

The defeat of the second empire, Nahuatl, was dramatic in the middle of the country, on the border between the north and the south. In fact, they were perfectly executed by the Westerners with decapitation tactics. At that time, the Westerners met the emperor of Nahuatl in the name of an audience, and the powerful gods hidden in the ranks suddenly attacked, directly killed the emperor, and slaughtered the royal family, and the entire empire fell into chaos, and was soon completely occupied by the Holy See. As a result, Nahuatl did not put up an effective resistance, and most of the army was retained, which was later absorbed by the West Daomen. ….

The third empire is Tawantin, located in the southern continent, the Holy See has not completely occupied the southern continent, and began to fight because of the uneven distribution of spoils, so Tawantin was not directly destroyed like Nohepeten, but was crippled by Westerners, and still retains the framework of an empire, and even the royal family is still very complete, and its royal family claims to be the descendants of the gods, and has the functions of the priestly class, but it is somewhat similar to the Son of Heaven of the Central Plains Dynasty, that is, the emperor and the divine power. However, Pachaca, the ancient god of Tawantin's faith, has fallen and can no longer protect his descendants.

Based on the principle of uniting all available forces, Xidaomen blends the three together. Under the impetus of the West Daomen, Emperor Tawantin married the dead princess of Nahuatl, obtained the allegiance of most of Nahuatl's army, and converted to Kukulkan, the sun god of Nohpeten, and accepted the priestly power of Nohpeten.

Generally speaking, the Tawantin belief in the main god Pachaka is the image of the fish-man, while the main god of the Nokhpeteng belief in Kukulkan is the image of the Quetzalcoatl, and the two are clearly not the same gods. Just because Pachaca already

fell, and the royal family of Tawantin easily converted.

As for the main god of Nahuatl, it is also not Kukulkan, but Wizilopotelli, but among the gods of Nahuatl, there is also a Quetzalcoatl god, Quecharcoatle, who is a god with a human nature. After careful "research" by Xidaomen, it is believed that the Quetzalcoatl god is Kukulkan, and Wizilopotelli has fallen, so most of Nahuatl's people have converted to Kukulkan.

This is actually a deal reached between Xidaomen and Kukulkan, Xidaomen expands the faith for Kukulkan, and the ancient gods led by Kukulkan share the pressure for Xidaomen and are responsible for facing the apostles of the Holy Court. However, the West Gate is not unreserved, most of the upper echelons of the royal family accept the protection of Kukulkan, but the lower ranks of the army, the West Daomen vigorously promotes the Central Plains, and there are not a few people who serve the Tao.

Among the three giants of the West Daomen, the Gongfu faction has the closest relationship with Nahuatl and has great influence in the army; The Shantai Zhenxiao faction has a close relationship with the priests of Nohepeten, and is friendly with the ancient god forces behind them; The royal family of the Tawanting family had close ties with the Tawantin royal family, and the Huangfu Zhao was the prince's teacher, and the Tawantin royal family converted to Kukulkan, and at the same time accepted the concept of Taoism, believing that there was an invisible "Tao" in the world, and studied the classic texts of Confucianism. This is the complicated situation of Tawanting, far more complicated than the three great systems of the Daomen, at least the three great systems have no differences in beliefs, everyone agrees with the Taishang Dao Ancestor and the Xuan Sheng, but there are differences in power. In other words, there is no doubt about who the ancestors are, and there is no doubt about the inheritance of the legal system, but there are differences on the issue of who is the great master.

On the other hand, on the side of Tawanting, the ancestor is not an ancestor, and the inheritance of the legal system is all forcibly stitched up by the West Daomen, which is simply a mess. It's better to tear it all down and start over, and simply convert all of them to the Taoist Gate, but it will be clean.

This is also the proposition of the three generations of the Li family, replacing Kukulkan and other ancient gods by the West Daomen, and returning the West Daomen to the Daomen, and incorporating Tawanting into the Daomen system, just like the Reed Yuan Kingdom and the Dayu Kingdom. Even considering the size and geographical location of Tawanting, it is possible not to enter the tributary system of the Daxuan court. ….

It's just that in this way, the Daomen will lose its reputation as moral righteousness, and it will not do the things of the Holy Court, but it will have the reality of the Holy Court, but it will look better than the Holy Court. Therefore, there are also many people within the Daomen who oppose it, believing that only cooperation and harmonious development should be carried out, and no conquest should be carried out, which will cause disaster in the future.

The reason for this faction is also very realistic, the key is that Tawanting is too far away, separated by thousands of miles of oceans, and the difficulty of governance has risen sharply, even if it is submitted to the Daomen, it will not be how the Daomen will be in its heyday, but once the Daomen declines, they can not share the hardships, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and they will inevitably break away from the Daomen system and stand on their own, but will become an example of Borneo and Fenglinzhou, and make a bad head, this is the disaster.

On this point, the two factions have clashed many times.

The faction headed by the Li family believes that the vast territory of the Central Plains is not innate, but the ancestors have expanded little by little, and we are just repeating the cause of our ancestors. If we can take the Southern Continent, then in another two hundred years, the Dao Gate will be in full swing. Two hundred years is enough time to establish a sense of belonging and identity, we are not the Holy Court barbarians who can only kill people, educate them, guide them, and be holy inside and kings outside.

The opposing faction believes that the size of the territory is closely related to the ability to govern and the level of transportation, and there is an upper limit.

At the beginning of the dynasty, the officials ruled Qingming, and there was no one who did not care, and no one did not work hard, just because of the hardships and hardships at that time, and only to find a life from ten thousand deaths. And then it gradually gets better, and it gradually becomes lazy, and the minority becomes the majority, and then laziness becomes a trend, although it is vigorous, it cannot be reversed, and it is difficult to remedy. Driven by the desire for meritorious deeds, the party fights against differences, and when the talent is gradually exhausted and difficult to cope, the situation becomes complicated.

This is an objective fact, if you just blindly make a big pie and ignore the internal problems, the bigger pie will only accelerate corruption and degeneration, what about the Golden Horde back then? Isn't it falling apart in the end? That's a lesson from the past. Two hundred years of Taoism, at the beginning of the Qingming Dynasty, it was still impossible to completely and thoroughly assimilate Fenglinzhou, which began to learn from the Central Plains from the Great Qi era, how dare to say how about the Taoism after two hundred years?

In the end, no one could convince anyone, and because the enemy was on the side, the lessons of the infighting in the Holy Court were not far away, and it was not good for them to go first

infighting, so the issue was put on hold. The consensus within the Daomen was that it would not be too late to discuss the issue until the Holy Court had been driven out, or if the Western Daomen had truly returned to the Daomen.

Of course, if Tawanting takes the initiative to ask to enter the Daomen system, it will not damage morality and righteousness, and will not leave hidden dangers for the future. Daomen will not refuse, you can seal Kukulkan as a true monarch, enjoy the incense, and also be the gods of Daomen, everyone is good.

However, the attitude of the Daomen towards Tawantin has further aggravated the complicated situation within Tawanting.

Because of the attitude of the Daomen, there are two schools of thought within Tawantin and Xidaomen.

One faction advocates fully embracing Daomen and becoming a member of the Daomen system, while the Western Daomen side shows a willingness to return to Daomen. The other faction advocates maintaining autonomy and independence, and is only a friend with Daomen, while the Western Daomen side is unwilling to completely return to Daomen and maintain the status quo.

The composition of these two factions is not easy to distinguish by simply belonging to the empire or family. Take the Gong family and the Shantai family as an example, the two sides are clearly divided in terms of power, but in some opinions and ideas, there may be no family boundaries, some members of the Gong family and some members of the Tangtai family think that they want to return to the Daomen, and the other part of the Gong family members and another part of the Shantai family members think that the status quo should be maintained.

This is the real you have me, I have you.

There is no clear attitude on the side of the key Daomen.

In the face of such a complex situation, Qi Xuansu wants to reconcile in the middle, how can it be a "difficult" word.
