Chapter IV Celestial Administration
The interior of the Cexian Department is very simple, with only an empty courtyard and an empty hall.
There is a thousand-year-old tree in the courtyard, and in the hall, there are file cabinets for most of the hall, and in the remaining position, three tables are placed in a staggered manner, and pen, ink, paper and inkstone are simply placed on the table.
There are three positions, two are empty, and only the most central one is sitting a cultivator, who is the person in charge of the West Gate Office of the Jiangcheng Cexian Bureau, Liu Dai of the Refining God Realm.
There were no traces of time on his white face, Liu Dai was dressed in a blue and white robe, wearing a blue phoenix-shaped Dao crown, and a white whisk leaning on his left wrist.
The table was tiled with a piece of white and soft rice paper, and a delicate wolf hair hung down in his right hand, Liu Dai's eyes were slightly closed, and his face was peaceful, as if he was thinking about how to write.
Suddenly, Liu Dai opened his eyes, which were a pair of deep eyes full of wisdom, and there was a faint color of excitement in the rare brown pupils.
With a little ink and a pen, thoughts surged, and the wolf quickly sketched a majestic picture of the world's mountains and rivers on the rice paper.
After a few breaths, Liu Dai exhaled a long breath and carefully put down the wolf's hair, as if the slightest movement would affect the charm of the world's mountains and rivers.
At this moment, a middle-aged cultivator entered the hall in small steps and said respectfully: "Uncle Liu, there is a cultivator who calls himself Li Mubai of Sword Valley outside. ”
"Please!"
Liu Dai cherished the words like gold, and without raising his head, he carefully took out the frame that had been prepared, and put the ink painting of the mountains and rivers in the world into the frame.
"Li Mubai of Sword Valley has seen Daoyou. ”
At first glance, Liu Dai felt that Li Mubai had an extraordinary temperament, did not be domineering, nor grovel, and introduced his identity without humility or arrogance.
Liu Dai raised his hand, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table disappeared, replaced by a delicate tea set, and the faint fragrance of tea faintly exuded the smell of aura.
Li Mubai recognized this kind of tea, the spiritual tea bamboo leaf green cultivated by the Danzhou Peiling Sect, which has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan, calming the mind and calming the qi, and is one of the favorite spiritual teas of cultivators.
"Since you have come to the Cexian Bureau, you are my friend of Liu Dai, please sit down and drink tea!"
The quaint cushion fell on the opposite side of the tea table, Li Mubai sat on the ground, the fragrance of tea came to his nose, and the aura contained in it had already reduced Li Mubai's anger by half before he entered it!
This Liu Dai is such a powerful calming method!
Li Mubai put away his contempt, although the actions of the Cexian Department made him unhappy, but Liu Dai's methods made him see the power of the Cexian Bureau.
But in this way, Liu Dai resolved the contradiction, Li Mubai was a little unwilling, and his anger could not be condensed in a short period of time, Li Mubai directly threw out the question, and said: "I admire the methods of the Immortal Bureau, but the purpose of my coming here will not give up because my anger dissipates." Jiang Cheng's cultivators can actually kill people in public, why is that?"
Liu Dai was also a little surprised, as a member of the Cexian Bureau, it was a basic operation to calm down emotions with harmony.
The people who came to the Cexian Department to complain were all caused by various reasons related to the cultivators, and in the years that the Cexian Department was on duty, Liu Dai had dealt with more than a thousand disputes.
There are very few people like Li Mubai, who insist on asking for an explanation after smelling his spiritual tea bamboo leaf green.
This time it takes a little more effort, and he is really an ignorant young man.
Liu Dai sighed secretly, but on the surface, he still looked warm and peaceful: "Between cultivators, it is normal to have some friction occasionally, if you have resentment in your heart, Lao Dao is willing to coordinate for both of you, cultivate the truth, be calm, in order to go further, grievances and hatreds, if you can let go, let go." ”
Li Mubai's eyes narrowed, and a wave of killing intent burst out: "If someone puts a knife on his neck and his life is threatened, can you let go of your grudge if you are a fellow Daoist?"
Liu Dai said without thinking: "No, but the matter of the knife on the neck has been solved by Daoyou, so this grudge and hatred can be put down." ”
Li Mubai said: "The people from the Cexian Department are really on the scene! If I don't do it, Xu Honglin kills the grandson of the vendor, will you people from the Cexian Department take care of it?"
Liu Dai said: "There is no if, why should Daoyou be obsessed with the process, the current result is that Xu Honglin gave up the decision to kill the grandson of the vendor, and their lives have been saved." ”
The three-foot Qinglian sword left the sword bag, Li Mubai held the scabbard, and the hilt of the sword was buzzing and trembling.
"After a few breaths, I'll put the sword around your neck, and if you don't block, I'll kill you. ”
Liu Dai still looked unhurried, Li Mubai reacted as he expected, drained out the fragrant tea, and Liu Dai pushed the teacup in front of Li Mubai.
"Fellow Daoist, there is no point in arguing like this, I can understand your anger, but the cultivator is the backbone of the Chu State, and our pattern and measurement are different from yours, only when Xu Honglin has seriously threatened the stability of Jiangcheng, the Immortal Department will come forward to stop it. This is the rule of the Cexian Bureau, if you feel that it is unfair, you can do justice for them and kill the culprit, this kind of battle caused by personal grudges, as long as it does not threaten Jiang Cheng, the Cexian Agency will not care. ”
Li Mubai's killing intent dissipated in an instant, and the Immortal Administration and his cognition were not on the same line at all, just like Liu Dai said, such a dispute was meaningless.
Drink all the bamboo leaves, and a cool feeling takes the spleen and stomach as the core, flowing to the limbs.
Li Mubai returned the three-foot Qinglian Sword to the sword bag, got up and said: "I already know the position of the Immortal Bureau, although you and I have different understandings, I will not forcibly ask you to change your position." ”
Liu Dai said: "Daoist friends can understand, the Cexian Department is very pleased, on the matter, if the Daoist needs help, the Cexian Department is still your first choice." ”
After leaving the Cexian Bureau, Li Mubai's mood was a little heavy, and it was a normal situation for cultivators to kill people if they disagreed.
If a minority has a power that the majority cannot grasp, the minority is a privileged class, and the rules of the privileged class will not change because of the dissatisfaction of the majority.
This is similar to the perception of Yun Cai and the others, cultivators will not eat whole grains with them, because it is a lowly thing, and it is a food that only mortals will eat.
But Li Mubai is very repulsive to this normality, strength is responsibility, there is much responsibility, and the cultivator who has mastered the power should be the guide and guardian of this world, not an immortal who thinks he is superior to others!
Disrupted by Liu Dai's point of view from the Cexian Administration, Li Mubai walked aimlessly in the river city, stopping because of the attraction of a plaque.
It is a quaint and elegant tavern, but the name of the tavern does not match the quaint and elegant style.
A tavern that makes you laugh!
This strange name successfully aroused Li Mubai's interest, and the people who went to the tavern to drink, except for some alcoholics, most of them were people who borrowed alcohol to kill their sorrows.
The owner of this tavern is probably a very optimistic and open-minded person who can come up with such a name that makes people laugh.
"Welcome to the Make You Laugh Tavern, I'm Liu Piaopiao, the front desk customer service, what kind of wine do guests want to drink?"
The tone contains a youthful and energetic girlish atmosphere, following the prestige, the front desk is a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, delicate long black straight hair, elegant green dress, and big eyes are refreshing.
Glancing at the built-in layout of the tavern, the design of the tavern was exquisitely conceived, even Li Mubai, who was in a heavy mood, couldn't help but feel warm, as if there was a wonderful power to dissolve Li Mubai's negative emotions.
"Do you have any recommended wine?"
Li Mubai's voice was a little magnetic, and his smile was also very infectious, Liu Piaopiao was slightly stunned, and introduced in a brisk voice:
"The Spring Breeze Crossing of the Peiling Sect has refined the spiritual energy essence of thirty-six plants, and a cup of refreshing is like a spring breeze. ”
"Pei Lingzong's five grains liquid koji, using the spirit liquid to water sorghum, corn, rice, glutinous rice and wheat, harvest five grains of spiritual food, and then through a special combination of brewing, the wine is mellow, drink a glass, can make you fluttering, all troubles are forgotten. ”
"Peilingzong's Erlang toast, this is the ancient recipe for winemaking, legend has it that a long time ago there was a great god named Erlang, in order to split the mountain to save his mother, brewed this kind of wine and dedicated it to the great god of Xingtian, obtained the mountain axe, and finally split the magic mountain and saved the mother. A drink can make you feel the heroic ambition of Erlang God and enhance the strength of your soul. ”
"These three spirit wines are the signature wines of the tavern that will make you laugh, which one do the guests need?"
Li Mubai said: "Why is it all the wine of the Peiling Sect, and there are no other wines?"
Liu Piaopiao said with a smile: "Because the spirit wine of the Peiling Sect is recognized as the best quality spirit wine in the cultivation realm, the service of the Laughing Tavern is supreme, and of course it is necessary to provide the best quality wine for the guests, so in the Laughing Tavern, all the spirit wine sold is the spirit wine of the Peiling Sect." ”
Li Mubai thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have a jar of Wuliangye Qu." ”
Liu Piaopiao's eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "Okay, please sit down at will, and there will be a waiter to serve the spirit wine later." ”
Li Mubai walked forward more than a dozen steps, there were very few drinkers in the tavern, except for Li Mubai, there were only two people, a man and a woman, and the location was far away.
The female drinker was so worried that she didn't seem to notice Li Mubai's gaze at all, while the male drinker was different, after sweeping his gaze, he suddenly raised his head and met Li Mubai's gaze coldly, his eyes were full of tyrannical brilliance.
Vicious eyes, hideous scars, and thick calluses protruding from the five-finger phalanxes.
Li Mubai left a slight impression on the male drinker and sat in a window position.
The male drinker scolded in a low voice, and when he picked up the wine jar, he devoured it for a while, as if he was drinking not wine, but water.
