Taiping Inn

Zhang Haishi's reply arrived soon, and Li Xuandu immediately took his letter to visit Wanshou Zhenren of Miaozhen Sect, but Li Xuandu arrived a step too late. After the ceremony, Wanshou Zhenren had already set off to return to Shuzhou. Li Xuandu had no choice but to visit Tiancang Mountain.

This time, Li Xuandu decided to go to Shuzhou alone, but in order not to repeat the mistakes of Situ Xuance, he had to make some preparations. In addition to the "Human World" and the "Eternal Life Staff", Qin Qing also prepared a semi-immortal item for him, which came from the Wangqing Sect and was called "Flower in the Mirror". This item itself has no power, but like the "Little Purple Mansion", it has other magical uses. As long as it is used properly, even if an immortal earthly immortal personally intercepts and kills Li Xuandu, Li Xuandu can protect himself.

As for Qin Su, she had to follow Qin Qing to visit Cihang Sect. In a sense, Qin Qing and Bai Xiushang's marriage was more important than Li Xuandu and Qin Su's marriage, so it could not be sloppy. Now Li Xuandu and Qin Su are engaged and just waiting to get married, so Qin Qing and Bai Xiushang's wedding is also on the agenda. Qin Qing went to Putuo Island in the South China Sea for this purpose.

After the preparations were completed, Li Xuandu temporarily handed over the affairs of Taiping Sect to Mrs. Lu, and handed over the affairs of the inn to Qin Su, and then left Longmen Mansion alone and embarked on the road to Shu.

Longmen Mansion is not far from Qinzhou. After Qinzhou, it is Qinzhong Mansion, the gateway to Shu. From there, enter Shuzhou and go southwest to Tiancang Mountain, one of the four famous mountains of Taoism, which is also the gateway of Miaozhen Sect.

However, this journey is not smooth. Since the second year of Tianbao, Qinzhou, Liangzhou and Shuzhou have fallen into the hands of the five sects in the northwest. The reason why Miaozhen Sect can still gain a foothold in Shuzhou is because the righteous way won the last Yuxu Sword Fight. In today's Shuzhou, the forces of all parties are complicated. In addition to Miaozhen Sect, there are also foreign forces such as Qingyang Sect, Northwest Five Sects, and local tyrants such as Tang Family. This is also what Qin Qing said that it is beyond reach. Li Xuandu wants to suppress Tang Family by his own strength, which is unrealistic, so he has to go to Miaozhen Sect first.

After passing Beimang Mountain and entering Qinzhou, Li Xuandu disguised himself, replaced his crane cloak and cloud shoes, put on short brown boots, and then added a mask of a young scholar. So Li Xuandu is no longer the leader of Taiping Sect, nor the head of the Taoist sect, but an ordinary wanderer.

This journey is not peaceful. It is not just as simple as bandits rampant, but also believers of Qingyang Sect, the army of Northwest Great Zhou, and various evil disciples who act without scruples. Li Xuandu walked along the post road and passed several small towns. All of them were empty. The fields along the way were all cracked, and the fields were full of thorns and weeds. It was a desolate scene.

Li Xuandu remembered that Shen Changsheng had mentioned that he and Shen Shuangmei had encountered cannibalism on the way to Miaozhen Sect. From this point of view, it was true. This brought back Li Xuandu's memories of the vegetable market, and his mood became a little gloomy. Li Xuandu went into several counties that were still inhabited and asked about the grain prices. They were ridiculously high, almost three times that of Jiangnan, and they did not recognize silver bills. Whether it was the bill exchange in the imperial capital or the big money houses in Jiangnan, they were not circulated, so they only counted gold and silver.

Li Xuandu could not help but sigh. Tan Taiyun was a rare genius in the aspect of cultivating Taoism and seeking immortality, but when it came to governing the country, Tan Taiyun was a mess. In this regard, the Confucian school was more reliable. After all, it had been passed down for many years, and most of the famous ministers in the past dynasties were disciples of the Confucian school. Even Zhang Suqing, whom Li Xuandu admired the most, was among them.

Because of this, Li Xuandu never thought of destroying the Confucian school. He just wanted to change the Confucian school, just like when Zhang Suqing and the four ministers were still there.

However, after Li Xuandu entered the scope of Xijing, the situation improved. Not only did the bandits decrease, but the fields also had greenery. For Li Xuandu, if he wanted peace in the world, the three states in the northwest could not be avoided, so he had the idea of ​​going to Xijing. What you learn from books is always shallow. You must practice it yourself to know the exact situation of the Northwest Zhou Dynasty. Xijing cannot be avoided. No matter how much you hear, it is better to go and see it yourself. After all, Tan Taiyun is not in Xijing at this time, which is a perfect opportunity. As long as he acts carefully, no one can do anything to him.

For the people of the Central Plains, the world is the two capitals and nineteen states. The nineteen states are: Liaozhou, Youzhou, Fengzhou, Yanzhou, Jinzhou, Qizhou, Luzhou, Zhongzhou, Jiangzhou, Jingzhou, Qinzhou, Xiangzhou, Xiaozhou, Wuzhou, Chuzhou, Shuzhou, Liangzhou, Minzhou, and Yuezhou. The two capitals are the Imperial Capital, the Imperial Capital, and the East and West Zhili subordinate to the two capitals.

Xijing is not just a city. There are also some prefectures and counties directly under the Xijing court around it, that is, Xizhili, which corresponds to the East Zhili around the Imperial Capital.

Now Li Xuandu is in the territory of Xizhili, which is not far from Xijing. Speaking of Xijing, it is also ill-fated and has fallen into the hands of the enemy twice. The first time was when the Golden Horde army captured Xijing, but it was not long before Qin Xiang led his army to recapture it. The second time was when it was conquered by the Great Zhou of the Northwest, and the Wudao Sect took control of Xijing until now. Today, Xijing has become the core of the Wudao Sect, including the palace of Tan Taiyun and the residences of the elders, all in Xijing City. Tan Taiyun's palace was the Xijing Imperial Palace back then, which was more complete than the Ziwei City of Longmen Prefecture and second only to the Imperial Palace of Dijing.

If we look at the history of Xijing, it was the place where the emperor was, and the ancestor dragon established the world, and the capital also included some of Xijing today. To this day, Xijing has become the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties. It is said that when Xijing was at its peak, the area was twice that of the imperial capital today and thirty times that of the golden tent royal court. However, Xijing is no longer comparable to that of the past, with only half of the area left in that year, and the rest have been destroyed in the war.

In addition to its grand scale, Xijing City is also generally well-organized with Longmen Mansion, with a rigorous layout, symmetrical structure and neatly arranged. There are three city gates on each side of the outer city, and the six streets that run through the twelve city gates are the main roads of the whole city. The Zhuque Street, which runs across the north and south, is a central axis, connecting the Chengtian Gate of the palace city, the Zhuque Gate of the imperial city and the Mingde Gate of the outer city, and divides Xijing into two parts, east and west, each of the east and west parts. There are East City and West City. There are eleven streets from north to south and fourteen streets from east to west in the city, which divide the residential area into one hundred and ten neatly arranged buildings, and the shape is similar to a chessboard.

The palace city is located in the middle of the north, with Tai Chi Palace in the middle, and the main hall is Tai Chi Hall. The east is the east palace, and the west is the Yeting Palace where the palace servants live. The imperial city is connected to the south of the palace city, with the ancestral temple on the left and the country on the right, and there are various major yamen.

These descriptions of Xijing are recorded in both the imperial court and major sects, and are not difficult to find. But Li Xuan had never been to Xijing, so he had to take advantage of Dan Tai Yun's absence to take advantage of the absence of Dan Tai Yun to take a look.

Li Xuandu walked along the official road, and the young seedlings in the fields on both sides of the road were growing well. When the wind blew, it was like layers of waves. Li Xuan sniffed the fragrance of the soil in the air and decided to take back his evaluation of Dan Taiyun. It is definitely not possible to govern a country, and a state is also very reluctant. However, the land of several prefectures is pretty good, and it can be called "peace". Two words.

Along the way, Li Xuandu also encountered several levels, but with his realm of cultivation, he naturally easily avoided it. He also met some Qingyang Sect believers who went to Xijing. The group of believers wanted to come up and talk to Li Xuan, but Li Xuan didn't want to cause too much trouble and disappeared directly with the "stars turning and fighting". This altar master has some knowledge and knows that he has met an expert. After all, it is Xijing, and it is not unusual for him to appear in times of experience.

After walking like this for most of the day, a majestic city seemed to rise from the ground, and appeared suddenly in Li Xuandu's sight, like a black mountain, and like a dark cloud that seemed to be far and near, covering the sky.

Li Xuan stopped and looked at him, and he couldn't see the end of the city wall at first glance. When he walked in and came to the city wall, he looked over and couldn't see how high the city wall was. He could only see half of the sky, and he was standing in the shadow cast by the city wall.

Li Xuandu took a deep breath, restrained all his breath, and did not pass through the city gate, and directly entered the city of Xijing with "star transformation".

Nympho

Chen Fangzhi looked at the black ring on his finger that had become ordinary, unable to hide his worries and anxiety. Just now, he found that he had lost contact with Mr. Ji, and the one who taught him to practice the "Future Star Mahayana Sutra" seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

No wonder Chen Fangzhi is like this. In the past few days, he has broken through the solid realm and entered the Qi-Region Realm by practicing the "Future Star Mahayana Tribulation Sutra", which made Wei Qiner very happy, but it did not arouse her suspicion, because Chen Fangzhi has been in the solid realm for so long. It is not a strange thing to be promoted to a realm. It is abnormal to stop moving forward. In the eyes of others, it is nothing more than water grinding. Only Chen Fangzhi understood what was going on. He was no longer a martial artist, but a priest. He vaguely felt that he was not far from the realm of God, which made him see his hope of revenge, and it was all thanks to that Mr. Ji, now that Mr. Ji is gone, how can he not be anxious?

Chen Fangzhi kept calling Mr. Ji in his heart with the method he taught him. After about an hour, Mr. Ji finally responded, "What are you shouting?"

Chen Fangzhi heard Mr. Ji's voice and breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Ji, I thought you were gone."

Mr. Ji's voice was no longer as calm and calm as before, and he said, "What kind of altar master is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. He dares to provoke that person."

"That person?" Chen Fangzhi was stunned, and then he understood, "Is it the person who disappeared out of thin air?"

"That's right." Mr. Ji's tone was a little low, "This person has a high position and a lot of masters under his command. I will fall to this situation today, all thanks to this person. If you can achieve great success in the future, you must Avenge me."

Chen Fangzhi was completely shocked.
