Shangqing Palace.

The immortal spirit is faint, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and groups of disciples are refining qi and refining essence on the stone platform on the top of each peak, and there are monks flying from time to time in the clouds and mist.

As the head of the orthodoxy of Shenzhou Xuanmen, Shangqing Palace is undoubtedly the most popular, and 60% of the talented mortals selected from the official government volunteered to be Shangqing Palace.

The reason is that the Shangqing Palace's Taoism is tolerant of all rivers, mediocre and peaceful, and the requirements are relatively low compared to the Sword Sect and Buddhism. There is no need to practice swords day and night, nor does it need to shave your head and become a monk, especially the latter requires a little determination.

It is equivalent to the top school in the eyes of the monks, but unfortunately less than 1% of the people can enter it, and 1/3 of the people are eliminated every year.

It's not that the Shangqing Palace uses the end of elimination, but that most people can't bear the boredom of cultivation, and many people can be eliminated simply by concentrating on qi practice for 5 hours a day. Not to mention that the requirement to build a foundation is to start ten hours a day, without the slightest distraction.

Qi practice is not moving bricks, but more like a rocket gunpowder carver, and the slightest carelessness in practicing Qi may endanger your life.

If you really can't bear to practice, you can try to practice the public version of Changchun Gong. There is no need to spend your mind, just a dozen simple sets of movements, maybe you can practice qi after fifty or sixty years.

At this time, a helicopter broke through the clouds and mist, and at the same time disrupted the immortal style here.

The helicopter landed on the top of the main peak, and at the moment there were already 6 helicopters parked in the open space here. This is a helicopter of different government officials to participate in today's unusual meeting.

Stepping off the plane was a female officer, nearly two meters tall, extremely strong female officer, and anyone with a little bit of Taoism could see that this person was an individual cultivator.

This person is the third-in-command of Qin Di's real power, the assistant of the flying general, Tang Ke.

The officials and monks who were talking around were a little surprised, but they didn't expect Qin Di to come. It's not that Tang Ke's status is here, no matter how high it is, it is difficult to have a town-level high.

But the government pays attention to performing its own duties, as the third-in-command, there is no need to come to any meeting, as long as the news arrives, not to mention that this is not a formal meeting.

"Chief Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time, what kind of wind blew you here?"

Yang Lichuan, the secretary of the Zhou Army, came head-on,

They are both in charge of military power, and they have had several military cooperation to encircle and suppress evil demons, and the two of them can be regarded as acquaintances.

Tang Ke smiled coldly and said, "Lord Yang didn't ask knowingly, if you want me to go back, you will shut down the Civil Affairs Bureau." ”

As an assistant to the flying general, she rose to the top after Wei Xi took power, and she also served part-time as the head of the Qin Internal Affairs Office, and her power in Qin was even comparable to that of Zai.

In essence, she is an extension of the power of the flying general, and without the flying general she is nothing.

Her arrival this time was unexpected, and if Fei Jiang didn't plan to go back, Tang Ke wouldn't go back at all. Following the general, she is still a town-level assistant, and I am afraid that she will be a small officer when she goes back.

"Uh...... This civil affairs bureau involves people's livelihood, how can it be shut down. Yang Lichuan was a little embarrassed, he naturally knew what the other party was talking about.

But it can't be blamed on them, it's Fei who wants to come, can you not want the benefits of nothing? And if the generals want to stay around, they can't expel each other.

Da Zhou was forced to be helpless.

"Huh."

Tang Ke naturally didn't believe it, and their Civil Affairs Bureau was about to put out the welcome flyer for naturalization now.

However, Da Zhou really has no ability and reason to refuse, since the appearance of the Jindan period, the power and influence of the town and country level have not been expanded without limit. Now that the town and country level are basically infants, it is no longer an existence that the government can handle at will.

Moreover, Shenzhou and Immortal Dao have developed to the present, who can tell who is whom? Those who live in temples don't know how much of it is the background of the sect, and how many of them have taken refuge in the sect.

The sect has become a faction of power in the new era.

At 12 noon, the meeting officially began, and representatives of all parties entered the main hall of Shangqing Palace.

A simple and unpretentious courtyard, bluestone paving, white walls and black tiles, several wooden tables are neatly placed, and a pot of spiritual tea is brewed on it, and the fragrance of tea is mixed with spirituality.

There is a hint of fairy spirit in the simplicity, there is no excessive extravagance and waste, and there is no slacking off the distinguished guests who come here.

A pot of spiritual tea can be sold for millions of dollars outside, and there are naturally many premiums among them, but now spiritual objects are completely a seller's market.

Qing Xuandao people sat in the central seat, next to Yang Lichuan, the representative of the Great Zhou Temple, and the two were the hosts of this meeting. Afterwards, representatives of the local government sat on the right, and the sect of cultivation sat on the left.

After everyone had taken a sip of tea, Qingxuan Dao spoke: "There is something important to invite you here today, and it may involve the root of Shenzhou, and if it is not handled well, it will turn the world upside down." ”

Such a heavy opening statement made everyone concentrate slightly.

There are many fundamental things related to Shenzhou, and in order to maintain this huge civilized society, the government and the Immortal Dao often have to put in much more effort than destruction.

In the past, there was strict control of the exercises, warnings against religion, and intense repression of reincarnateds. Now it is the encirclement and suppression of evil spirits, the correct guidance and education of local monks, and the prevention of foreign forces.

Any problem can turn Shenzhou upside down, and even if there seems to be no immediate danger to the education of local monks, the slightest mistake will cause a big problem in the near future.

But none of these will directly involve the root of Shenzhou, and it is difficult for a simple thing to overwhelm Shenzhou.

"Before that, please finish the tea in your mouth." Qingxuan Daoist reminded.

Everyone was puzzled, but they still drank the rest of the tea very cooperatively.

"Tianji Pavilion has counted the immortal death tribulation."

The voice of the Qingxuan Daoist was neither slow nor slow, but it fell into everyone's ears like a nuclear bomb exploding in their ears.

Bang dang!

Someone's teacup fell to the ground, shattering into countless pieces in response.

Whether it was a high-ranking official of the government or a powerful monk of the sect, they were all stunned, and the thoughts in their minds were the same.

, it's really the root of China!

Now even the government has to admit that the immortals in the world are indeed the pillars of Shenzhou. Although the other party is in the countryside, he has never been involved in the affairs of the court.

But he is too strong, and there is no one enemy country more than this. The second is the influence of the other party in the Immortal Dao, to be honest, which of the immortal Dao cultivation powers is not the other party who grew up watching?

There is an old saying that the old man is still home when he is alive, and when the old man is gone, the brothers and sisters go their separate ways.

What's more, they are not even brothers and sisters, they all have their own interests.

In the end, even if all the aura of the immortals in the world is put aside, the natural disasters that can make a powerhouse of the level of immortals fall will definitely turn the world upside down.

"This ...... How is this possible? Qingxuan Daoist, don't joke. ”

A Jindan real person from a sect spoke everyone's mind.

That's impossible.

"The immortal slapped the ancient saint king one by one, who in the world can kill the immortal? Unless the Heavenly Dao returns. ”

"Poor Dao thinks that it is impossible to kill immortals when the Heavenly Dao reappears, and Heavenly Punishment has always followed the law of leaving a glimmer of life, and we are also a part of Heaven and Earth. Killing the creatures of heaven and earth indiscriminately can only be the legendary calamity. ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Hua, don't scare me into being poor, this heaven and earth have just recovered, where did the calamity come from."

Everyone was completely panicked, and the Qingxuan Daoist released some breath to appease them.

His expression was indifferent, without the slightest panic.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, this is just a hexagram calculated by Tianji Pavilion, and it is not a fact that will definitely happen. Many of those present have been practicing for thousands of years and should be able to understand that divination is uncertain. ”

"Doom is like throwing a stone into a puddle, the stone is the one who responds, and the pit is doomed. When a mountain is thrown into a puddle, the end result will only be that the puddle is filled. ”

As soon as the Qingxuan Daoist was so appeased, everyone recovered from the panic a little. After a little thought, they quickly understood that they were scaring themselves.

When people hear bad news, they always like to think about the worst. After calming down, they will weigh the benefits and disadvantages, and will start from the actual situation.

After calming down, someone asked again, "May I ask Daoist Qingxuan, is there anything we can help with?" The calamity of immortals, we are qualified to intervene? ”

Is the death of the immortals something they can meddle in? If you mix it in, will it become your own death?

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is impossible for them to crash into the fire.

"The immortal chief said that when manpower is poor, the strength of the people is sometimes better than him." Qing Xuan replied, "We are not blocking the calamity for the Immortal Elder, but we are trying to weaken the calamity as much as possible, at least to find out the cause and effect." ”

"For example, when the day first opens, everyone is trapped in the same realm, and wanting to exert the power that transcends the shackles of heaven and earth is nothing more than magic weapons, evil skills, incense, and spirit stones. Three of them are under our control, and now seventy percent of the spiritual veins are in the hands of my Shenzhou. ”

Hearing this, everyone understood and probably understood how to meddle in this kind of thing.

If you want to kill the immortals, you have to use some unconventional means, which are nothing more than stacking up a lot of resources. As long as they strictly monitor the flow of spiritual resources, they can prevent the spiritual resources accumulated in Shenzhou from becoming a weapon to kill immortals.

Someone asked: "Nowadays, all localities are performing their own duties, and I am afraid it is difficult to monitor them." ”

Qingxuan Daoist smiled slightly: "It's just that Taiyin Xingjun is the best at spiritual object management, and he has thousands of years of management experience. ”

At this time, the representatives of the government finally tasted some unusual tastes, their expressions changed slightly, and they looked at the Qingxuan Daoist with a suspicious gaze.

The unified management and monitoring of spiritual resources in various parts of Shenzhou is equivalent to controlling the finances of various places.

The major immortal sect officials had no way to control it, but the output of the spirit stone was completely in their hands.

What do Qingxuan Daoists want to do?

Later, the high-ranking officials from all over the country turned their attention to Yang Lichuan and Zhao Di, which was also a suspicious gaze.

What role do Da Zhou and Zhao Di play in it?

All the immortal gate Jindan real people are also human spirits, but they all pretend to be deaf and dumb, and some of them even began to discuss with Qing Xuan whether to rebuild the spirit library?

Every sentence is stirring the red line of the government, but this time no one directly stood up and reprimanded.

Qingxuan Daoist ignored all kinds of suspicious gazes and set the tone of this meeting.

"We can't sit still, Immortal Chang has saved Shenzhou from fire and water several times, and now it's time for us to contribute. What Poor Dao advocates is neither to restore one palace and two doors, nor to promote immortal power, nor to collect the spiritual objects of the world. ”

"I propose that a mobile and transparent spirit stone system should be established, with the government as the head and the Moon Palace as the supplement. Supervise the whereabouts of the world's spirit stones, so as not to fall into the hands of traitors. ”

"Strengthen the linkage of sects in various places, and the joint mobilization of monks, so as to better maintain social peace."

Yang Lichuan raised his hand and said: "The immortals are kind to Shenzhou, and now they need our help, so naturally they will not be stingy, I only agree to this proposal on behalf of Zhou Miaotang." ”

Then Deputy Zhao Di raised his hand, and this matter was also beneficial to them. The government is the head, and the Taiyin Xingjun is the auxiliary, but the only designated individual is the Taiyin Xingjun, and the actual implementation is headed by Zhao Dizhen at the national level.

The faces of the immortals were silent, and they also agreed. However, they did not cross the line and paid lip service to the first proposal, but in fact supported corporate integration.

The company is a channel for the sect to share power, and they naturally have the right to decide, and most of the local monks in Shenzhou are also cultivated by them.

The government is from China, the company is also from China, and it is the people of China who ultimately benefit.

That's why today's Immortal Dao and Shenzhou are inseparable.

The remaining representatives verbally supported it, but the actual reply was that they would go back to discuss it and would definitely try to obtain the consent of the temple.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, everyone left, the air was filled with a hint of gunpowder, and the competition between the various forces had just begun.

Power will not come out of thin air, and monitoring the integrated transfer of spirit stones and monk companies is a huge power and benefit.

The difference between the Qingxuan Dao people and other towns and countries is that they are well versed in the rules of rights between mortals, and they know how to let most people get benefits. Advocacy seems to be a huge move, but it doesn't actually take anything, and there are good objects.

The transparency of spirit stones is good for Qidi, because in this way, the price of imported spirit stones from Qin can be stable. The integration of the companies was good for Qin, because they were vast and needed more monks.

Qin agreed to the integration of the company, and Qi agreed to the transparency of the spirit stone.

Do not win by force, only use means to suppress others.

Moreover, Qing Xuan also pulled up the platform of Da Zhou and Zhao Di, and the rest only needs to have the consent of Qin and Qi, and everything can go smoothly.

But in the final analysis, it is the Qing Xuanshi who is famous, and he has played the current ZZ of Shenzhou correctly.

Or the immortals are right.

The matter of the Dragon Palace is that the gambling god of the community won a week's breakfast money all at once, which drove the consumption of several hundred yuan in the surrounding areas of the community.

For the government, the impact is earth-shaking and far-reaching. People are watching the sky, and the government is also watching what the immortals did in the flood of the fairy road.

Not all officials are insects, if so, then peace is a luxury.

The government's think tank can put aside all aura and feelings and analyze it from the most rational perspective. A living immortal who does not need a lot of social wealth, does not hold power, does not harm others, and has unrivaled individual power is more important than all the town and country levels.

He has proven himself for thousands of years, turning the tide countless times and supporting the collapse of the building. Even if it is thrown into AI to calculate, weak artificial intelligence will give the same answer.

The role that reputation can play is directly proportional to its own ability, and if the Shangqing Palace directly says that the spirit stone is transparent, the government will not hesitate to refuse. But if it is said to help the immortal mansion in the world, you have to consider it, because they will quarrel within themselves because of this.

It's not that they can't help, but whether the Shangqing Palace is cheating them? Shangqing Palace is Shangqing Palace, immortals are immortals, even if the immortals are Qingxuandao people's father, then he is not an immortal.

What they believe in is the immortals themselves.

——

It's night.

Temples and office buildings were lit up all night, and the guards in charge of standing guard could faintly hear the sound of quarrels coming from the room.

There are countless reasons to list, but what if someone says it's true? Who is responsible for what happened? After the fatal questioning, basically no one can parry.

The roof beams and pillars collapsed, and no one who lived in the house was spared.

To put it simply, the immortal life is heavy and as big as the sky.

After all-night discussions, the government decided to make a compromise.

The data produced by the spirit stone is shown to the Moon Palace, but it does not support permanent transparency. The company's monks are uniformly transferred, except for the monks who do not support the army.

This reply did not surprise the Qing Xuan Daoist, on the contrary, it was just as he predicted.

In the Shangqing Palace.

Qingxuan and Yang Cang enjoyed the moon and tasted tea, while talking about the old days, and discussing the next move.

Yang Cang said: "Senior Qingxuan, I have calculated some clues again, this time the matter is related to the ghost incense. ”

"Ghosts? Incense? Qing Xuan pondered slightly and said, "I will let all places strictly inspect religious temples, but we can't control anything outside of Shenzhou." Can you help me figure out if the Romans are planning some kind of conspiracy. ”

"Understood, by the way, you have to tell the immortals."

Yang Cang took out his recently purchased mobile phone, and just wanted to call Li Yi's phone when he was stopped by Qingxuan.

"You're looking for a fight now."

Yang Cang asked with some confusion: "Why?" ”

"Is the flying general in the immortal chief now?"

As soon as Qingxuan Daoist asked this, Yang Cang suddenly understood why.

How could he disturb the pleasures of the boudoir?

It wasn't until eight o'clock in the morning that the sun was slightly sharp, and Qing Xuan reported to Li Yi by phone.

It's not over, and it's hard for Qingxuan to know when it's over. He remembered that once the rabbit had been in retreat with the fairy chief for several months, and when he came out, the fairy chief hurriedly ran to the clouds.

However, most of the time, rabbits have to eat a large number of pills that nourish yin and nourish the kidneys, and there are pharmacists in the Moon Palace who refine the Ten Perfect Tonic Pills for them. The outside world sometimes says that it is for immortals to eat, after all, there are so many women in the Moon Palace, which are actually for rabbits.

Later, Qing Xuan learned that the length of the retreat depended on the rabbit, not the immortal.

Qing Xuan is a Qing monk and doesn't know much about these things, but he knows that the immortal chief will not lose three meals a day.

At ten o'clock, Li Yi finally replied.

[Hmm]
