Chapter 3 Reasoning in front of the Huangzu Palace
The four capitals of the world, the imperial capital, the river capital, the middle capital, and the northern capital, its name is a city, but in fact, the jurisdiction centered on the city is very large, almost half of the state, so in addition to the special status of the imperial capital, the other three capitals are all based on the state system, which has three divisions and yamen, which is no different from a state.
The fastest route from Jiangdu to the imperial capital is to take a boat along the Dongjiang Grand Canal, but Xu Beiyou did not want to do this, but chose to detour through Huizhou, pass through Yuzhou, go to Zhongdu, and finally arrive in Zhili Prefecture.
Judging from the map, this route just draws a perfect arc, Xu Beiyou will pass through the jurisdiction of Zhongdu, but will not enter the Zhongdu City, so that he can meet Zhang Wuxian once.
From Jiangdu to the imperial capital, if you go all the way straight, cross the mountains and mountains, wade through the water, it is about more than 2,000 miles away, go all out to resist the sword, but a day's effort, but if you follow the route chosen by Xu Beiyou, there are about more than 3,000 miles away, and Xu Beiyou does not have the intention of thousands of miles of imperial sword, choose to walk on foot, although it is several times faster than ordinary people walking, more than 100 miles a day, but it still takes about more than a month to reach the imperial capital.
Along the way, in addition to absorbing Bai Hong's sword qi and divine consciousness day and night, in order to break through the realm of the Earth Immortal Quadruple Building as soon as possible, Xu Beiyou also had many other secret arrangements, and meeting Zhang Wuxian was just one of them.
Three days later, Xu Bei swam through Jiangzhou into Huizhou.
The last time Xu Beiyou went to Huizhou, he was coerced by Tang Shengyue, and he couldn't even call it a horse, he could only say that he was a glimpse, so this time he didn't go fast, he stopped and stopped, and when he was interested, he also did a thing of fighting a sword warrior, rescued two children from the hands of two crappy monks, and after sending the two children home, he continued to move forward, not entering the city, but entering the Yishan Mountain Range.
Yishan is famous for the strange pine, strange stone, sea of clouds, hot springs, winter snow "five uniques" in the world, known as "the first strange mountain in the world", it is called 3,900 zhang in the "Taiping Huanyu Ji", the peaks accumulate stones, such as cutting, the smoke is endless, and the thunderstorm is falling. Xiacheng cave room, milk sinus waterfall spring, no peak, above the rocks, strange traces, can not be touched, the cave house of the sincere gods. On the mountain, you often hear the sound of fairy music on the peak.
At the same time, Yishan is also listed as one of the "three mountains" in the "three mountains and five mountains", it is rumored that the Daomen Huangzu is here to preach and ascend, so Yishan is the mountain of the Huangzu in the Daomen, and it is also where the Huizhou Daomen is located, but in the early years, the Jiangnan Daomen is dominant, Du Mingshi was enshrined as the general commander of the southeast and Jiangnan Daomen, and the Jiangzuo Xie family, Xiao Huang befriended, and took advantage of the situation to occupy the magpie's nest in this place, and expelled the original Huizhou Daomen people, and took over by the Jiangnan Daomen people.
Since the death of Du Mingshi, Du Haixiao took over the Jiangnan Daomen, and the Jiangnan Daomen began to decline, and the Huizhou Daomen, which lost the protection of the Jiangzhou Daomen, was also repeatedly suppressed by the local government, and the incense plummeted every year, and it was extremely deserted.
The reason why the Huizhou government dares to act like this is because most of Huizhou belongs to the Jiangbei range, and the government is powerful, so it can not put the Daomen in its eyes, and if it continues to develop according to this momentum, it will be able to make this Huangzu Mountain become an empty mountain, and the Huizhou Daomen can only sit in a lonely city, and the other reason is that the Huizhou Daomen master Luo Nanxing is too useless, and there is neither a transcendent cultivation realm, nor a subtle means of doing things, so he will be repeatedly oppressed.
It is rumored that Luo Nanxing, the master of Huizhou Daomen, studied under the Weichen Dazhenren, studied the "Yin Fu Sutra" and "Shaking the Dragon Sutra", and was good at finding the dragon and looking for the qi, and was also regarded as the number one person of the Fu Seal School, but he was not good at fighting against people, and belonged to the kind of earth fairy realm that could be crossed the border and fight.
Xu Beiyou slowly climbed the mountain, the reason why he wanted to detour to Huizhou to climb Yi Mountain, of course, was not to visit the mountain and enjoy the scenery, but to see with his own eyes this Huizhou Daomen, which has been regarded as an abandoned son of the Daomen, if it is really as dilapidated as rumored, then after he comes back from the imperial capital, he can completely expel all the Taoists here and include this mountain of Huangzu in his own pocket.
If the rumors are not true, it also shows that this Huizhou Daomen, which has been extremely silent in recent years, is very strange, and it is better to take precautions as soon as possible.
After walking for about half an hour, Xu Beiyou could already see the cloud-covered Huangzu Palace in the distance.
Just when Xu Beiyou wanted to continue along the mountain road, a loud shout sounded.
More than a dozen figures dressed in Taoist costumes leaped out from both sides, blocking in front of Xu Beiyou, the leader was a short-haired woman, who had just reached her ears, and it was difficult to even comb her hair in a bun, so she was draped like this, making Xu Beiyou look awkward.
Monks and nuns shaved their heads, and Taoist female crowns tied their hair in buns, but what does this short hair mean, half Buddha and half Tao?
The short-haired woman's face was cold, and her tone was even colder: "Who are you?
Xu Beiyou smiled and said: "I am a passerby, I have heard the name of Yishan for a long time, so I climbed the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and I also wanted to go to the Huangzu Palace to pay homage to the Huangzu ruins, and put on a stick of incense." ”
The short-haired woman frowned, and said coldly: "Huangzu Palace is where my Huizhou Dao Gate is located, outsiders are not allowed to enter, you go down the mountain quickly, don't stay here." ”
Xu Beiyou pretended to be surprised and said: "How can there be such a reason, I have also been to Chonglong Temple, Taiqing Palace, and Zirong Temple, which is not famous, but there is no shelf of your Huangzu Palace!"
The short-haired woman said coldly: "They are them, we are us, this is Huizhou, we must follow the rules of our Huizhou Daomen." ”
Xu Beiyou seemed to laugh angrily, and after saying three good words in a row, he was about to turn around and go down the mountain.
At the moment when he turned around, a Taoist beside the short-haired woman suddenly made a move, and a talisman flew out silently, and then lightly attached to his back.
The Taoist smiled, counted three counts silently, and waited for this poor creature who didn't know what to do.
There were even a few Taoists who planned to come forward to collect the corpses.
However, after a while, the smile on the Daoist's face completely solidified, and he saw that the hatholder was still walking like a fly, and he had the slightest intention of falling.
The short-haired woman's face changed suddenly, she shouted, her figure rushed forward a hundred steps, and she directly reached out and patted Xu Beiyou.
This palm slapped directly on the sword box behind Xu Beiyou, but there was no unexpected explosion, but the woman was injured by the sword qi that the sword box activated by itself, and countless blood marks appeared on the entire palm, oozing blood, and the palm was pierced with a bloody hole, and the pain was piercing.

Xu Beiyou stopped and turned around, and said with a light smile: "I don't think you are like people from the Daomen, but like unscrupulous bandits who occupy the mountains and are kings." ”
The short-haired woman's face was extremely solemn, and she said in a deep voice: "Who is Your Excellency?"
Xu Beiyou said calmly: "I was just a passer-by before, but now I am a murderer. ”
The short-haired woman's face changed drastically, but before she could react, more than a dozen Daoists behind her had all fallen to the ground, all of them pierced through the center of their eyebrows with sword qi.
The short-haired woman's face instantly turned horrified.
Xu Beiyou strode forward and said: "People don't hurt the tiger, the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, you are the first to shoot at me, then my killing is not indiscriminate killing of innocents, what about Luo Nanxing? Let him come out to see me." ”
The short-haired woman subconsciously took a few steps back and said in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
Xu Beiyou walked not far in front of the short-haired woman, and said calmly: "I am indeed a passerby, and you Huizhou Daomen have no grudges, this mountaineering is just to see the Huangzu Palace, you don't let you see it, then forget it, I will go down the mountain, but you are aggressive, and you want to kill people, then no wonder I am reasonable." ”
