Volume 2 Juvenile Tour Chapter 154 Immortal Alliance
The left sentence "there is a way to teach me", and the right sentence "there is a way to teach me", why don't you have anything else to seek?
Liu Zai wanted to learn from his junior brother to roll his eyes, but in order to maintain his image as a master, he couldn't help it.
"In the matter of the alliance, it doesn't help to tell you too much of the inside story. Liu Zai paused and asked rhetorically, "I wonder how much Marshal Kou knows about the cultivation world?"
Kou Yi smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from Immortal Master Liu, don't look at the Kou clan who can barely be regarded as one of the few noble clans in the Great Sui, in fact, there is still a lot of gap between the first-class princes' gate."
"In addition, my father and I have been guarding the border for two generations, far away from the power center of the capital for a long time, and we have not been able to achieve high or low, so that we have not been favored by decent cultivation world forces as their cooperation partners in the secular world. Therefore, except for the three guards arranged by the official family, most of the information I can learn about the cultivation world, except for the "Divine Official Dao Book" promulgated by the imperial court every few years, is still obtained from some loose cultivators. ”
"It's common for you to be in this situation. To be honest, above the entire court of Dasui, there are no more than two forces in the cultivation world standing behind them, and the vast majority of them are Beijing officials. ”
Liu Zai nodded, put down the teacup, and Kou Yi hurriedly filled it.
"I wonder if Marshal Kou has ever heard of the Immortal League?"
"No, I didn't. ”
Although Liu Zai was a little mentally prepared, he still sighed unexpectedly:
"I didn't expect that the dignified generalissimo of Zhenxi, the third-rank general, had never heard of the Xianmeng? Tong Dahai didn't tell you at all?"
Kou Yi said helplessly: "When I was a child, I was very yearning for the cultivation world, so I once ran away from home for two years to concentrate on searching for immortals and visiting the Tao, but unfortunately I didn't achieve anything. For this reason, my father left his last words before he died, forbidding Uncle Tong to teach me to practice, so he rarely took the initiative to tell me about the cultivation world. ”
After listening to it, I couldn't help but complain in my heart, I really didn't expect it, the mighty and wild "Kouren Tu" was actually a second-year teenager who would run away from home?
Liu Zai was also speechless, so he had to elaborate in detail:
"The Immortal League is a relatively loose organization composed of major forces in the cultivation world, and its main role is to ensure the balance of the cultivation world, and is responsible for restricting the personal behavior of monks in the world to a certain extent, such as supervising the issuance of runes, regulating trading behaviors, strictly prohibiting monks from killing mortals indiscriminately, and so on.
"At present, the Immortal Alliance has absorbed more than 800 immortal cultivation forces, including the Imperial Court's Wude Division and Daolu Academy, and the so-called 'Eight Hundred Authentic Sects in the World' in the "Shenguan Dao Book" promulgated by the imperial court originated from this. At present, the core authority of the Immortal Alliance is the Council of Elders, which is led by six top sects and composed of dozens of first-class sects. Among them, there are alliance leaders, deputy alliance leaders, elders, inspectors and other positions, except for the elders who serve for life, the other positions are rotated every 30 years. ”
Regarding the situation of the Immortal Alliance, you know a little bit. While Kou Yi was still digesting this information, he took the opportunity to ask:
"Senior brother just said that since the two major immortal cultivation forces in the hands of the imperial court, Wude Si and Daolu Academy, are also members of the Immortal Alliance, why is there no place for the imperial court in the Council of Elders?"
Liu Zai said with a smile: "It has been thousands of years since the birth of the Immortal Alliance, and it has always been very loose before, and it only relies on a few top sects to restrain the entire cultivation world to a certain extent by force. This state of affairs lasted until more than 100 years ago, and then the concept of 'upper sect' and 'lower sect' was born, do you know who gave it to him?"
You Li thought about it and vaguely guessed, but still shook his head and said, "I don't know."
At this time, Kou Yi replied: "But Emperor Taizu of this dynasty?"
Liu Zai said appreciatively: "Marshal Kou said it. In that year, after Emperor Taizu annexed the three kingdoms of Cai, Peng, and Chen one after another, he personally marched and marched under the city of Liangzhou, the capital of Xiao State, and Qing Xuzi, the great elder of the Kunlun faction who supported the royal family of Xiao State, conducted a negotiation that affected the pattern of the world in the Yellow Tent located in the Chinese Army, which was known as the 'Yellow Horde Talks' in history.
"In this meeting, in order to preserve the royal bloodline of the Xiao Kingdom, Qingxuzi, as the leader of the Immortal League, agreed to Sui Taizu's rectification plan for the Immortal League. I won't talk to you about the details, the general idea is that the court will set up an altar to worship heaven and earth, announce the three emperors of heaven, earth and man, divide the major sects in the world, and nominally bring these descendants and temples independent of the jungle system of the ten directions into the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
"Whether it is passive or active, the Immortal League has since started a century-long division of the forces of various sects in the world, which gave birth to the concept of 'upper sect' and 'lower sect'. For example, among the large and small sects in the land of the Seven Prefectures of Anxi Road, only the firmament sect is ranked second-class, and the strength is the strongest, so it can apply to the Immortal League to become the leader of the various sects on the road, known as the 'upper sect', and the rest of the sects will become the 'lower sect' under its leadership. ”
After a while, Kou Yi, who had roughly digested this information, asked again:
"So, the six top sects in Immortal Master Liu's mouth are the six names at the top in the Book of Divine Officials?"
Liu Zai nodded silently.
"Kunlun Sect, Yuqing Valley, Taiqing Palace, Longhu Mountain, Danfeng, Shangqing Sect. Kou Yi muttered the six names, for the first time in his life, he linked these familiar but actually unknown names with the word "Immortal League", and finally felt the heavy weight of the word "cultivation" for the first time.
The wanderer on the side, but remembered another thing, and asked for Kou Yi:
"Senior brother, why are there as many as six sects that take turns to sit as the leader of the Zhuang Immortal Alliance, but there is no imperial court? I don't believe it, the imperial court has both the Wude Division and the Daolu Academy in charge of the ten jungles in the world, whether it is strength or power, how bad can it be compared to these six sects?"
"This is the concession made by Taizu during the Yellow Tent talks. If there is a major matter involving the mundane world, otherwise the imperial court will not get involved in the affairs of the cultivation world. ”
Seeing that the three people present all bowed their heads and pondered, Liu Zai suddenly felt that he seemed to have said too much, and he felt a little interested for a while. After a few more words, he led You Li and You Dashan to say goodbye.
The three of them slowly moved to the door, but they didn't wait for the expected sound of the guests, and they all left the Dadu Governor's Mansion in a daze.
When they came to the street, the soldiers of the patrol battalion in the city were leading the shops along the street to clear the snow together.
Liu Zai looked at the busy street scene and sighed:
"Kou Yi's guy doesn't understand the world, he thinks about things and doesn't leave anyone for breakfast. I have wasted a lot of lips and tongues for him. ”
When You Dashan heard this, he couldn't help but defend his real owner with two sentences:
"Although many of the people on Anxi Road secretly scolded the marshal as a 'human slaughterer' and a 'butcher', in fact, many old people who survived that year would remember him well, thinking that he was acting for the heavens and avenging the tens of thousands of resentful souls in the city. ”
After speaking, he looked at the words again, and echoed very doggedly:
However, Senior Liu is also very reasonable. No matter what, the marshal should also stay for dinner, our two generations are young, but the seniors have a big face, and they are big monks who have cultivated to a high level, so they dare to slack off, no wonder there was no harvest for more than two years in the search for immortals. ”
You Li wanted to roll his eyes again when he heard this, and felt that he really needed to re-examine this brother, looking at this sycophant kung fu, compared to the cultivation qualifications, it was really talented.
Liu Zai put his hands behind his head and accepted it happily.
You Li said helplessly: "What are you going to do next?"
You Dashan stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Of course, I want to fill my stomach first. I know a breakfast shop, Anxi naan cakes are very authentic, and the curd is marinated no worse than Liangzhou City!
Seeing that he called himself "Old Anxi", in addition to being sour, he was also infected, and said with a smile:
"There are really few delicious things in the countryside of Shengshan County, so this time I want to go to the city to taste it. ”
"It turns out that the Dao Heart Sect Master is from Shengshan County, in fact, I am also half of Shengshan County. If he hadn't been separated from his biological father back then, maybe he would have been a country boy, hehe. ”
"There is nothing bad about the countryside except for the poor food and less knowledge. It's you, Brother You, who has been living abroad since you were a child and has suffered a lot, right?"
Hearing this, You Dashan said nonchalantly:
"I was four or five years old at the time, and I can remember. After being separated from my father and mother in the refugee wave, I begged for food all the way, and entered the county seat of Shengshan in a daze, and was taken by a tea merchant surnamed Mo and took me to Anxi City to sell some loose tea. As the war continued to tighten and his livelihood became unsustainable, he sold me to the Security Bureau. ”
"Don't you want to be your own mother?"
"In the dead of night, of course I think. Especially when I was just lost, I was fine, but suddenly the sky fell, and I cried at every turn. And looking around, there are poor people in distress around him, no one can take care of anyone, and occasionally a well-wisher eats a bite or two, so he barely survives. Looking back now, I'm still scared. But at that time, I was not sensible anyway, and I followed the crowd in a daze, except for occasionally missing my father and mother, but I didn't feel terrible. ”
"Will you blame them?"
When You Dashan heard this, he was silent for a moment, as if he was really thinking about this question. After a long time, he replied:
"Actually, when I was a kid, I missed it a little more. But when I got older, especially after being sold to the dart game, I did chores and practiced every day, although I had food and shelter, and my living conditions were better, I complained more. However, when I started to dart with the dart team last year and made my own money, I occasionally felt that 'my father and mother were actually more sad and desperate than me, right?', thinking about it, it seems that there is less resentment. ”
"It's right to think so. You Li smiled and said, "Your mentality is suitable for cultivation." ”
"Really?" You Dashan's eyes lit up when he heard this, revealing full of anticipation.
"Really, don't believe me, ask my brother. ”
You Dashan really raised his head.
Liu Zai turned his head slightly, glanced at it, and said, "If you can remember what I said to you earlier, you can barely save it." ”
You Dashan said with joy in his heart: "Cultivating the mind and cultivating the nature, right? I will work hard." ”
The three of them walked through the streets, sat down in front of a small and inconspicuous shop, and had a steaming breakfast.
"Where are you going next?" You Dashan asked, wiping his mouth.
Liu Zai looked at Youli.
You Li thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the City God Temple, I am still willing to go." ”
On the way, You Dashan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dao Heart Chief, what wish did you make in the City God Temple?"
Wandering smiled: "A wish about searching." ”
When they walked to the City God Temple, it was already the right time, and the three of them lined up for a while, and then they each bought incense to worship the City God.
Out of the door of the main hall, You Li asked rhetorically: "Brother You, what wish did you just make?"
You Dashan blinked his left eye and said mysteriously: "A wish about searching." ”
