Immortal Lake Ze, Ling Xuan Sect, at this time, from the elders of the sect to the disciples of each sect, all of them had solemn faces, and they all followed Ling Xuan Sect Leader Yuanlong Zhenren to the sect dock to gather.

Today, Ling Xuanzong ushered in a heavyweight guest, the fourth emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yuanlong Zhenren heard that the emperor had arrived, so he led the whole sect to guard the dock to personally receive the emperor's holy drive, the emperor was the first time to visit the sect, which was a great deal for Ling Xuanzong.

At this moment, although Ling Xuanzong's face was as usual, and the wind was light on the surface, but in fact, he was panicked in his heart, and the news of the emperor's sudden arrival on the eastern tour made Yuanlong Zhenren somewhat unprepared, although the emperor claimed to have come to observe the global map of all countries collected by Ling Xuanzong, but Yuanlong Zhenren was still a little panicked in his heart, and always secretly speculated about the real purpose of the emperor's coming, after all, Elder Jiang, who had already fallen in Ling Xuanzong, was involved in rebellion and assassinated the current emperor. Yuanlong Zhenren was uneasy.

After a while, a shadow gradually appeared in the calm surface of the Immortal Lake, hundreds of large ferries rushed straight to the wharf, the bow and stern of the ship were full of heavily armed soldiers, the soldiers were like a forest, with a murderous look on their faces, and Ling Xuanzong's face changed slightly, and those who didn't know about this battle thought that the imperial court had sent troops to encircle and suppress Ling Xuanzong.

After hundreds of ferries approached the pier, the officers led their corporal to occupy both sides of the pier in an orderly and rapid manner, obviously these were only the vanguard of the forbidden army guarding the Son of Heaven.

In less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of large and small ships came to the lake, these are the elite sailor battalions deployed by the imperial court in the main road of the big river, the tributaries of the big river are connected to the fairy lake, and the sailor battalion can easily come here.

After the sailor battalion docked, thousands of elite soldiers on the ship got off the ship to guard both sides of the wharf, and there were tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards who came ashore one after another, almost blocking the entire wharf, but on both sides of the wharf were a phalanx of elite Praetorian Guards with swords and guns, nearly 10,000 people.

Even so, in order to protect the safety of the emperor and a group of civil and military officials, the imperial court also deployed tens of thousands of sailor battalions on the lake, as well as thousands of huge ships and huge ships faintly surrounded the main island where Ling Xuanzong was located.

The total number of core disciples of the inner and outer sects of the Ling Xuan Sect was only a few thousand, and from a distance, it seemed as if the entire Ling Xuan Sect had been completely surrounded by the imperial army, such a terrifying battle made the Ling Xuan Sect even more solemn, holding their breath, and not even daring to take a breath.

Seeing this, Ling Xuanzong's head of the Yuanlong Zhenren was even more frowned, his mood was heavy, and his face had long since lost the light wind that he had just forcibly concealed.

These monks, who were bent on seeking the Tao and ignoring what was going on outside the window, finally saw how weak they were in the face of the terrifying armed forces of the imperial court, how could they fight personally, and they couldn't stand the tactics of going forward and succeeding the crowd. It is no wonder that when the imperial court gave an order, it exterminated the Yunhua Sect, the first monk sect in the world, just like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

A quarter of an hour later, a tall and ornate three-story ship slowly approached the dock, and the emperor and all the civil and military officials slowly disembarked from the largest three-story ship in the middle.

Yuanlong Zhenren Tao Yu and several other Lingxuan Sect old monster monks saw that the Son of Heaven's honor guard had arrived, so they led thousands of disciples of the whole sect, the inner gate, and the outer gate to bow down and salute the emperor: "Poor Dao Yuanlong Zhenren Tao Yu, lead me Ling Xuanzong up and down to meet my emperor Long live, long live." ”

Thousands of Ling Xuan Sect disciples also bowed down and bowed in unison and said, "Long live my emperor, long live." ”

As soon as Ling Xuanzong's disciples and elders finished speaking, the nearly 10,000 Praetorian Guard soldiers behind them saw the arrival of the Son of Heaven's honor guard, and they also raised their spears and shouted in unison: "Ten thousand years of the Great Jin, long live Your Majesty!" ”

Nearly 10,000 people shouted in unison, and the momentum was really resounding in the sky, and the rows were full.

The emperor just raised his hand lightly when he stepped down, and said, "You guys are flat, and you are exempt from etiquette." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mu Sheng took a look at the surrounding environment and sighed, "Ling Xuan Sect is worthy of being one of the four major sects, and this place is really a good place to cultivate. ”

Ling Xuan Sect Sect Leader Yuanlong Zhenren Tao Yu immediately stepped forward with a smiling face, and said cautiously and politely: "Your Majesty has praised it, my Ling Xuan Sect has been established for more than 2,700 years, and it has taken dozens of generations of hard work to have such a beautiful scene today. ”

Mu Sheng nodded slightly: "Well, this trip is really worthwhile, the real person in charge, you already know the purpose of my trip?" ”

Tao Yu bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the poor road has already been prepared, and please move your majesty to the Lingxiao Hall to observe the map of all countries." ”

Mu Sheng bowed slightly: "Okay." ”

Tao Yu, the head of the sect, accompanied the emperor and a group of civil and military officials to the main hall to observe, after entering the main hall, the center of the inner hall was hanging a huge map of the whole world.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, and after Mu Sheng saw this map, he couldn't describe his mood with shock, this map was drawn with precision, and it was not inferior to those modern maps of later generations, and those strange annotation symbols were the long-lost writing system of the Kunwu Divine Kingdom, and this map was indeed as he thought in his heart, the continental plate and land structure were completely unseen by him, and there was no doubt that this was another world.

Then Tao Yu, the real person of Yuanlong, told the emperor and the ministers in a gentle tone about the origin of this map, which was similar to what he told to Xianghou Xue Changqing that day.

The right prime minister, Wang Yi, stepped forward and asked Tao Yudao: "Dare to ask the real person in charge of the sect, where is our Central Plains?" ”

The reason why Wang Yi has this question is the so-called map of all countries, it only has the whole region, not all countries, to be precise, it is just a map of the mountains and rivers that is drawn finely, and there is no so-called national border, and everyone naturally does not know where the Central Plains is.

Hearing this, Tao Yu, the head of the sect, stepped forward and pointed to a large area in the easternmost part of the map and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, please take a closer look, this is where our Central Plains is located, and this is the eastern region of the continent. ”

Seeing this, Wang Yi said a little incredulously: "This is impossible, the Central Plains is the middle of the world, the country of all nations, the state of the upper state, how can our Central Plains be located in the easternmost place?" ”

Tao Yu stroked his beard, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Xiangguo, this is a relic of the ancient Kunwu Divine Kingdom, it is absolutely infallible, my Central Plains is indeed in the east of the world, it is the rising sun, the land of the sun, after the poor road became enlightened, I also followed the footsteps of my Ling Xuan Sect to send the ancestor Xuan Chengzi to the Southern Regions, and the Central Continent has lived for decades, it is indeed an eye-opener, the poor road is according to the map to get here, this map is due to the age, the shape of the mountains and rivers in some places has changed, but it is still very accurate in general, It shows the power of monks in ancient times. ”

Wang Yi is not easy to refute when he sees this, the so-called seeing is believing, everyone has gone out to see it with their own eyes, he has not even gone out to Qingyang City a few times in his life, at most he has been a county magistrate in the field for a few years, compared to Tao Yu, who has traveled thousands of miles, it is just a frog sitting in a well and watching the sky.

However, the appearance of this picture has a great impact on the worldview and values of all the people present, these literati who can only read the books of sages, in their minds, the whole world is just the Central Plains, surrounded by barbarians, do not know that the vastness of this world is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Zuo Xianggao looked at the map for a long time, bowed down and saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this picture is really a gift from heaven, and it really opened Weichen's eyes, what if the Central Plains is not the middle of the world?" Your Majesty, from now on, you will be the Son of Heaven who lives in the east at sunrise, the country blessed by God in the East, and the lord of all the nations in the Eastern Regions. ”

When Tao Yu heard this, he said proudly: "What Gao Xiangguo said is extremely true, Your Majesty, according to the poor road, after touring all the countries in the southern region and the continent in the middle region, except for the eastern region where my Shenzhou is located, the poor road has never seen a country that is more vast and powerful than the territory of our dynasty, especially the countries of the southern region, most of them are a city for a country, and an island is a country, the so-called big country in the Southern Regions has only more than ten cities under its jurisdiction, and it is not even as big as a county in our Central Plains, and my Heavenly Empire does have seventy-four counties, tens of millions of counties, townships, and li, dozens of famous cities and towns, and a population of one million households. The name of my Heavenly Dynasty is indeed well deserved, and when the poor road used to parade, he had talked about this dynasty with the local elders and nobles, and these people still looked like they didn't believe it, they really sat in the well and watched the sky, and they didn't know how thick the sky was. ”

Yuanlong Zhenren's tone and demeanor are like the citizens of a superpower who have traveled abroad, and they still think that their country is the best.

With the vigorous praise of Zuo Xianggao and the field investigation of Yuanlong's real Tao Yuyan, the ministers in the hall immediately reacted, and immediately stepped forward and flew all over the sky.

Mu Sheng listened to the flesh and dragon farts of these civil and military officials, and said: "I have gained a lot from coming here today, and the words of the real person in charge of the teaching have really opened my eyes. ”

Yuan Long Zhenren Tao Yu saw that the emperor seemed to be very interested in this map, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, although this map is the treasure of our sect, Your Majesty's visit to this sect today is really an unprecedented happy event for this sect. ”

Mu Sheng said: "I have received the mind of the real person, this picture is not easy to obtain, and it is also the treasure that your master worked hard to obtain. ”

Tao Yu was moved when he heard this, this is a relic left to him by his master after the fall of the year, which has very important commemorative significance, in fact, he is reluctant to offer a map in his heart, no one thought that the emperor would be interested in a map, and he knew that he should not have taken it out in front of Xianghou Xue Changqing.

Since the emperor said so, Tao Yu also got off the donkey and said: "Obey Your Majesty's holy order, and the poor Dao will find skilled craftsmen to reproduce this picture as soon as possible." ”

Tao Yu waved his hand, and two disciples of Ling Xuan Sect held a tray and presented it, in which eleven silk books and five cowhide scrolls were presented.

Tao Yu said: "Your Majesty, these silk books are the manuscript of the Travels of the Nations written by my ancestor Xuan Chengzi, the ancestor of Ling Xuan. ”

Tao Yu opened one of the cowhide scrolls to show it, which was actually a local miniature copy of the Global Universal Map.

Tao Yu said: "Your Majesty, this map is the global map carried by my sect when it goes out on a tour, and it is divided into five volumes, corresponding to the topographic maps of the five continents of the Western Regions, the Eastern Regions, the Central Regions, the Northern Regions, and the Southern Regions. ”

Tao Yu pointed to the map in his hand and explained: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the map of all countries in the Southern Regions, and it is also the place where the poor road has repeatedly toured. ”

Mu Sheng took the map of the Southern Regions and looked amazed, and exclaimed: "You are really a strange person, if you are not entangled in mundane affairs, you want to go out for a walk, take a look, and have a good look at the wonders of this world to live up to this life." ”

Good guy, Ling Xuanzong is not only good at refining, but also good at touring the world, Mu Sheng, as a descendant, he knows very well the importance of going out to broaden his horizons, especially the most important thing about this tour of the world, only by seeing the wonders of the world can he absorb the construction achievements of various civilizations for his own use, so as to achieve a brilliant Chinese civilization. Behind closed doors has never been the background color of Chinese civilization, and it is the foundation of Chinese civilization that embraces all rivers and rivers, and it is the magic weapon that our nation has inherited for thousands of years and never falls.

Sect Leader Tao Yu heard the emperor say this, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, this time the poor Dao also followed the footsteps of the ancestors to travel the world, and our Ling Xuan Sect monks have to go out to travel to various countries as long as they become enlightened, which is also the tradition of our Ling Xuan Sect all along. ”

Mu Sheng said: "This is a good tradition, your ancestor Xuan Chengzi is worthy of being a generation of grandmasters, in the future, your ancestor must send a copy into the palace when he has a travel record, I have to take a good look at it." ”

Tao Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, in a few years, Dao Yanzhen, the senior brother of the poor Dao, will travel back to the Central Plains from the Northern Regions, and then the poor Dao will definitely present his senior brother's travels in the Northern Regions to His Majesty." ”

"Good, good."

After saying that, Mu Sheng remembered something, and with a wave of his hand, the water mirror technique appeared, which reflected the mirage he saw in Donghai County, the magnificent ruins of the city of the Kingdom of God.

Mu Sheng pointed to the ruins of the Divine Kingdom and asked, "Sect Master, this is a mirage that I saw by chance in Donghai County, I suspect that it may be the ruins of the Kunwu Divine Kingdom, have you ever seen this city when you traveled to the Central Continent?" ”

Tao Yu, the head of the sect, suddenly realized that the emperor was also a monk, and Mu Sheng was always shrouded in the secular aura of the emperor, which made everyone present subconsciously ignore the emperor's identity as a monk.

Tao Yu repeatedly checked the city shown on the water mirror, his face was solemn, and after a while, he slowly shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this city has never been seen by Poor Dao, and this city has never been mentioned in the travelogue of Patriarch Xuan Chengzi, the ruins of the Divine Kingdom that we have inspected in the Middle Continent in the past, but we have never seen such a well-preserved ruin, and the Poor Dao thinks that such a complete Divine Kingdom Ruins must be in the deepest part of the Central Continent." However, it is very dangerous there, and even an old monster-level monk who has cultivated to the realm of four phases is not safe to explore in the depths of the continent. ”

"Poor Dao listened to the local indigenous elders, there are many powerful beast masters entrenched in the depths of the continent, once the demon beast cultivates to the beast master into a human form, its strength is far above the same level of human race monks, even if the poor road goes, there is a possibility of falling, in the past, the monks of our sect basically only explored on the periphery of the Central Continent, and no one dared to go to the depths of the continent, where is the real country of ten thousand demons, and they have always been very wary of foreign human races."

When Mu Sheng heard this, he said with some regret: "I see." ”

In fact, Mu Sheng's main purpose in coming to Ling Xuanzong was to inquire about the news of the ruins of the Kingdom of God, but he didn't expect that the people of Ling Xuanzong had never seen it, so this trip could only be regarded as a team building tour, but fortunately, the scenery of Ling Xuanzong was also good, so you could have a good visit......

A group of high-level Jin court in the Yuan Long Zhenren personally accompanied, inside and outside the visit to Ling Xuanzong, and in the Lingxiao Hall with the treasure of the spirit wine in the sect to entertain the Jin court monarchs, banquet, Yuan Long Zhenren saw that the Jin court monarchs and ministers have praised the spirit wine is the best drink, although he smiled on his face, accompanied by a group of leaders throughout the whole process, in fact, he secretly felt pain in his heart, these spirit wine is Ling Xuanzong's inventory for several years, this high-level reception, all to the court ministers to spoil, but he is helpless, the powerful court magnates present, he is a person who can not afford to offend......

After the Eastern Tour team stayed in Ling Xuanzong for a few days, before leaving, the emperor was very satisfied with Ling Xuanzong's hospitality, so he specially ordered to engrave a monument in the sect to commemorate it.

In front of the pier of Ling Xuanzong, Yuan Long Zhenren led the children of the whole sect to send the emperor and a group of civil and military officials to board the boat and leave the island.

Seeing that the huge fleet of the imperial court was gradually moving away, until this moment, Yuanlong Zhenren Tao Yu's face showed a little relaxed, and he secretly sighed in his heart, it seems that the emperor is really coming for the map of all countries, and he really has no other ideas, these days the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials visited Ling Xuanzong, he was careful throughout the whole process, and did not dare to slack off a little, and finally came out of it, and it has been a hundred years since he became a Taoist, and Yuanlong Zhenren Tao Yu has experienced for the first time what it means to live like a year.

In order to welcome the emperor's holy drive this time, from the head of the sect to the disciples of each sect, the days have been spent carefully, and even the footsteps of the usual walking are much lighter, for fear that the forbidden soldiers guarding inside and outside the sect will notice them, after all, not many of them have really seen the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and the largest leader in the country has come to the sect to inspect the work, and anyone has to be very cautious.

Seeing that the imperial court's sailor fleet was about to disappear into the sky, Yuanlong Zhenren's apprentice Mu Zhe, that is, Gongzi Zhe, stepped forward and reminded softly: "Master, the sailor battalion has left. ”

After Mu Zhe's reminding, Yuanlong Zhenren Tao Yu came back to his senses at this moment, at this moment he had already regained the majesty of the sect, looked back at the disciples of Ling Xuan Sect behind him, and said with a slight bow: "Well, it's all gone!" ”

On the way back, all the disciples of Ling Xuanzong were privately discussing the major event of the emperor's visit to the sect, for Emperor Mu Sheng himself, this matter is not a big deal, but it is just a visit to the east on the road, and it is just a visit here, but for Ling Xuanzong, it is a big thing.
