Chapter Forty-Eight: Investigation of the Imperial City
Outside the temple.
Chen Xuan stood on a stone platform and looked at the plaque above the Hall of Action, thinking about something in his mind.
After he finished refining the pill, he took the equipment and left Xiao Wang Feng, originally wanting to fly back to the cave to adjust it, and then go to the Fang Market of Taiyi Sect to sell all the pills.
But after thinking about it, it was out of control, and I was more careful about the details, thinking about how to maximize the amount of spirit stones, and my own safety was also guaranteed.
Then he decided to fly to this temple.
Syllable!
"That's it."
Chen Xuan made a decision, clapped his hands, and walked into the hall of action.
"What task does Uncle Shi want to take?"
A Qi practicing deacon who had been watching Chen Xuan in the hall for a long time came forward and saluted and asked, According to the rules of the hall, the disciples of the foundation building in the door voluntarily came to take over the task, and they must fully cooperate and try to meet them.
"Is there a mission that needs to be carried out in the capital of Yan Kingdom recently?"
Chen Xuan didn't procrastinate, he watched the Qi Cultivation Disciple say his request, and then saw the Qi Cultivation Disciple's eyebrows furrowed, revealing a look of difficulty.
"There really isn't any mission that needs to be carried out in Dayandu recently, and at the same time, Uncle Shi is also a foundation building monk, if it's not necessary, Uncle Shi had better not go there."
After the Qi cultivation disciple saluted again, he said that the Great Yan Capital he was talking about was naturally the national capital of the secular imperial dynasty of the Yan Kingdom.
The Great Yan Capital was established in the center of the five states, which was the closest to Qingzhou, and was under the unified jurisdiction of the six factions, and it was also stipulated that monks were not allowed to participate in secular internal affairs.
And the only use of the Imperial City for them is that every year, mortals who may have spiritual roots in each state of the country will be gathered here by the scattered cultivators outside to conduct the spiritual root test, and then divided among the six factions.
On the surface, this is the only way for the six factions to collect the spiritual roots of the rest of the states except for their own states and counties.
Why is that? Is there any taboo for us monks in the kingdom of mortals? ”
Chen Xuan was puzzled, although he had already understood the national capital of Yan Kingdom thoroughly when he went out this time, there was no way to inquire about what cultivators needed to pay attention to.
"Actually, there are no taboos, it's just that the sects are a little sensitive during this time.
Because two days ago was the annual spiritual root test day in the Imperial City, our six sects had a rule, and each sect could only send one foundation building monk to select disciples, and monks in the Dan period were even more forbidden to go. ”
The Qi Cultivation disciple said a rough idea, but did not explain why there was such a rule, and Chen Xuan also thought about it for a long time this time, and felt that it was most suitable to buy those materials or go to the Imperial City.
"I wonder why? The selection of disciples should not be sophisticated and cunning...... Ahem, are the experienced sect elders going? ”
Chen Xuan asked.
"That's exactly why."
Seeing Chen Xuan ask, after the Qi cultivation disciple sorted out his thoughts, he revealed the secret that the elder deacons had told him:
"I heard that it was because one year, one of the six factions, the sect, sent an elder with spiritual powers to the Imperial City;
In the end, under the battle of words and words that he wanted to capture, he really took away a Burning Heaven Spirit Body Twin Spirit Root Monk who had never appeared in Yan Country from that session!
Later, the monks of the other five factions knew that this matter was naturally jointly condemned, and then followed up and resolved, and the rules were re-established.
Changed the requirement to receive spiritual roots once every five years to once a year, and only one foundation building monk can be sent to select spiritual roots.
In order to completely prevent some sects from secretly discovering a better spiritual root and quietly operating this problem, so as to achieve complete randomness in accepting disciples. ”
The Qi cultivation disciple explained to Chen Xuan with his heart, wanting him to dispel the idea of going to the Imperial City.
He also told him to wait for another two or three days, and when the foundation building monk over there came back with the mortals with spiritual roots, it would not be too late to go.
"I see, thank you first." Chen Xuan said with a smile, he didn't expect this fellow disciple to analyze him so thoroughly;
Indeed, if the six factions went to the imperial city to collect the spiritual roots and all used this method, it would only lead to contradictions and wars, so the six factions at that time were still calm and did not delve into it.
After Chen Xuan heard this, he first gave up the idea of going to the imperial city.
He walked towards the task bar of the Hall of Action, to see if he could take on an easy task, anyway, he was going to go out to the sect soon, and by the way, he would earn some extra money.
Chen Xuan had just arrived in front of the taskbar to check, when a small door against the wall a few meters away next to him was slammed open.
There was a foot in it first, and then an old man came out, he looked at the taskbar, and then looked at Chen Xuan in a blink of an eye.
"You want to take a mission to the Imperial City?"
The old man only had the cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, and he was holding a large scroll of paper in his hand.
He walked up to Chen Xuan and pushed him back two steps, then took out the large paper scroll and replaced it with the one on the taskbar, and the new paper scroll also had a few more tasks.
"See the master."
Without waiting for Chen Xuan to speak, the Qi cultivation disciple beside him first clasped his fists and saluted, and then withdrew from the sight of the two, knowing that he was not needed here.
"Fortunately, I don't know what the previous words of the head of the Hall of Actions meant."
Chen Xuan smiled, and then asked why the head of the sect said that just now, thinking that he might have the hope of receiving a mission to the imperial city.
"Senior brother can call me Guo Yun, the situation is urgent, please make a decision quickly."
The old man said his name, paused, and then spoke:
"This time, the foundation building monk we sent to the Imperial City to pick up the spiritual root has been delayed for two days than before, and has not returned to the sect.
It stands to reason that in case of special circumstances, we will also put a summons in advance to report back, but we haven't received anything here, and I'm afraid that something will go wrong and want to find a place to build a foundation and go to the door to find out.
I happened to meet you, junior brother, if you are willing to take on this task, you will be rewarded with ten spirit stones. ”
Guo Yun said as concisely as possible, after receiving the news, he thought about immediately going to find a Zhuji Tongmen to check, if he couldn't find anyone for a while, he would go in person, which Cheng wanted to run into Chen Xuan as soon as he came out.
It just so happens that he is also a foundation building monk, although it only looks like the early stage, but it should be no problem to inquire about the situation, Guo Yun thought so.
"Okay."
After hearing this, Chen Xuan agreed, just to see the situation, this kind of incidental errand can earn spirit stones, which completely meets his requirements.
"Then it's decided, I'll tell my junior brother about the matters that need to be paid attention to, you take this map of the Great Yan Capital, and set off quickly."
After the two talked for another quarter of an hour, Chen Xuan was completely clear about the task to be done this time to go to the imperial city; To put it simply, it is to go to the docking point set up by the sect in the national capital to check the situation, and then come back to explain, and the task is successfully completed.
Saying goodbye to Guo Yun, Chen Xuan took the magic weapon into the air and flew towards the Taiyi Hall, he had to prepare a batch of things before leaving the sect.
