Qing Ming Tian Xia, Xuandu Guan.
In the peach blossom forest, an old Taoist priest and a handsome young man wearing a tiger head hat walked side by side, followed by a fat man, looking around to see if there were any peach branches on the ground.
The group of traveling sword cultivators from the Sword Qi Great Wall respectively settled in the White Jade Palace of the Qingming World, Shenxiao City, Suishu Palace, and Xuandu Temple.
Xuandu Temple only got this fat man who is obsessed with money, but the young swordsman and the old temple master are very close to each other. Of course, they may think they are in love.
Anyway, Yan Zhuo has been secretly doing business under the banner of the old temple master these years, and has done a lot of business. A behemoth like Xuandu Temple can be counted on the top of the vassal mountain with one hand, plus dozens of dynasties and vassals that are attached to Xuandu Temple.
The country, even if we only talk about the Xuanduguan lineage itself, has nearly 100,000 Taoist officials under its jurisdiction.
The old temple owner just turned a blind eye. Anyway, all the money exchanges are beneficial and do not go to outsiders. If Fatty Yan can get money from Bai Yujing one day, he will not even give him a gold plaque.
Question, even the old patron can ask Lu Laosan to inscribe the title.
The old temple master pondered for a long time, and finally opened the skylight and spoke frankly, "Bai Ye, are you willing to serve as the abbot of Xuandu Temple in the future?"
Bai Ye didn't seem surprised either. He shook his head and said bluntly: "It's impossible."
The old patron nodded, "I know this is the answer, but I can't help but ask more, just in case."
The old temple master was silent for a moment and then asked: "The temple master is unwilling to be a prison guard with a lot of worldly affairs. It is more troublesome than being a temple master, so it is impossible. What about being a master?"
The leader of a Taoist temple can be either virtual or real. If he is willing to take care of things, he can take care of everything, no matter how big or small.
Your Majesty is known as the pillar of Taoist temples and the role model for Taoists. Only those who have outstanding merits and are proficient in the laws and regulations can be qualified. By this, they can set an example for the jungle and the eyes of humans and gods.
It is somewhat similar to the Haoran Tianxia Mountain sect, where one person serves as both the chief worshipper and guest minister.
Bai Ye still shook his head, "I really don't want to be distracted."
The old temple master sighed and said, "I want you to be a deacon, even if you are free, I am willing to do it. I don't have the shame to give it to you. You will be a joke to Qing Ming for nothing."
Generally, larger Taoist temples have eight deacons, three capitals, five masters and eighteen heads.
Yan Zhuo found that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he recommended himself: "Old monastery leader, if you don't mind me, this junior..."
The old temple master already nodded and answered: "Disgusted."
Yan Zhuo was not crazy. How dare he expect to be the master of Xuandu Temple? It was just that he had started to make small calculations in the past few years. He felt that with his deep friendship with the old temple master, he had to think about it no matter what.
The position of the head of Shifang Yunshui Hall is specifically responsible for the placement of traveling Taoist priests. Although he does not have much money, Yan Zhuo has his own means to make a lot of money. Of course, he is not the kind of eccentric person.
The old temple leader suddenly said: "Fat Yan, one day when you reach the Jade Pu Realm, Pindao will find an opportunity to hold a discussion in the ancestral hall. He will mention it casually and recommend your boy to be the deacon of the accountant, but he will say it in advance.
Okay, if a poor Taoist has been idle for a long time and does not have enough prestige in the Taoist temple, he may not be able to succeed. You have heard it today. Don’t be too concerned about it. It’s best if you can succeed. If you can’t, don’t blame the poor Taoist for not being able to do the job.”
Yan Zhuo rubbed his hands and smiled, "I understand, I understand, it's easy to talk about."
The accountant deacon, one of the eight great deacons, is almost equivalent to the household secretary of a large dynasty under the mountain given the huge scale and rich foundation of Xuanduguan.
The old temple master turned his head and looked at one place, then said goodbye and left. Bai Ye hesitated to speak. The old temple master smiled knowingly and said: "If you have the opportunity, replant the peach blossoms."
The old temple master retreated to the mountains and rivers and came to another part of the peach forest. Next to the stream, stood a woman with white hair but the face of a girl.
Master Lao Guan nodded and said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister."
The girl just nodded in greeting and looked up at the sky.
Xuanduguan has always claimed to the outside world that she is in seclusion.
In fact, I was traveling around, and now my merits have been fulfilled. Then I returned to Xuandu Temple.
Waiting for the weather, just waiting for rain.
It is not only a far-reaching plan to prepare for a rainy day, but also a rather helpless last resort.
So when I show up this time, I won't show off to Xiao Sun as a senior sister.
The "girl" withdrew her gaze, looked down at the stream, and murmured: "The peach blossoms are flowing away in the flowing water."
This sentence comes from Bai Ye's "Answers to Common People's Questions in the Mountains".
Her name is Wang Sun, and her Taoist name is "Kongshan". She was once recognized as the most qualified Taoist official in the history of Xuandu Temple. It can even be said that several juniors were brought up by her when they were young. Among them is Sun Huaizhong, the current temple master.
.
When the boss heard about it, it was the praise given to her by the outside world. Her success was due to her evaluation of herself.
In addition to the Sui Palace and the Stork Tower, the river flows eastward. There is a mainstay, which is one of the few dragon-resting stones in the world. There are many buildings and many cliff carvings.
Cheng Quan, the old Yuanying sword cultivator, was standing on the edge of the cliff with an old friend, watching the water. However, there was a huge difference in height between the two. Standing next to the old sword cultivator was a child with an immature face, but he looked very old-fashioned.
It was Nalan Shaowei, one of the ten sword immortals at the top of the Great Sword Qi Wall.
He "appeared" a little later than Chen Xi in Ascension City. Just because Sui Chugong was too polite, they mobilized troops and found him a pair of immortals who were in the Ascension Realm, but he was still a
The rare relics left by Jian Xiu Bing Jie after his death.
On a high-rise building by the river, stood a young Taoist official leaning on a railing. He was full of bookishness and looked across the river in a daze. The river looked like a natural chasm.
On one side it is like a swarm of ants, on the other side there are only a few figures. Because in this person's eyes, it is as if this river is used as a boundary. On one side are the great monks of the Fourteenth Realm, and on the other side are the living beings below the Fourteenth Realm.
Nalan Shaowei glanced at the young Taoist official on the other side of the Stork Tower, who looked like a scholar, and said casually: "Monk Suizhugong is either in retreat or preparing for retreat. Why do I often see this guy hanging out on the tower?
.”
Cheng Quan said: "His name is Gao Ping, and he has two Taoist titles, 'Taihang' and 'Zou Ge', which sound surprising. Gao Ping is the chief Taoist official of Sui Chu Palace. It seems that he has been in charge for many years and has not been able to do anything."
After being promoted to an official position, he has been responsible for the records and documents submission of all Taoist priests in the palace. However, in addition to his status as the head of Zhengerbajing, Gao Ping seems to have the only official position besides the palace, "literary", anyway, he is a former
It’s something I’ve never heard of. If Lord Yin Guan is here, he must know the twists and turns here.”
Nalan Shaowei nodded and said: "It is an ancient official position in Haoran Tianxia. It is quite old. The official hat is very small, but if you don't have any knowledge, you will definitely not be able to be this official. It is not very useful now."
Cheng Quan looked at Nalan Shaowei in surprise.
Nalan Shaowei laughed and scolded: "What a look, I know the origin of 'literature', what's so strange about it, it seems like I found that boy Chen Ping'an doesn't understand."
Cheng Quan laughed and said: "In terms of swordsmanship, you are temporarily better than Master Yin Guan. I think that, but in terms of the ink in your stomach, you are really incomparable. You just happened by chance."
Nalan Shaowei changed the subject, "Have you ever dealt with him?"
Cheng Quan nodded and said: "I met him several times in the building and by the river. He is a boring gourd. I didn't talk much. There are some rumors about him in Sui Chu Gong. I only chatted with the old man nicknamed Xiaobai. He seemed to like him.
When playing chess, Palace Master Wu will occasionally participate, but there is a strange rule that both parties only play the first forty moves."
Nalan Shaowei nodded and said: "Back then, I often talked with Sun Juyuan and others. We won more and lost less."
Cheng Quan asked: "Do you really know how many lines there are on the chessboard?"
Nalan Shaowei smiled angrily and said, "You just have a bad mouth."
Cheng Quan smiled and said: "Have you passed the trick?"
Nalan Shaowei ignored the top three masters of Sword Qi Great Wall and just looked at the young-looking Taoist official, hoping to play a few games with him if he had the chance.
Over at the Stork Tower, Gao Ping smiled from the bottom of his heart and said: "When Nalan Sword Immortal is free one day, he can come here as a guest. I want to review the final battle of the Sword Qi Great Wall with Nalan Sword Immortal.
"
Nalan Shaowei smiled and said: "I don't understand those vain people. You have found the wrong person. You have to talk to the young people at the Summer Palace about this."
Gao Ping smiled and said: "Sword Immortal Nalan is so humble. It's just a paper war."
Nalan Shaowei was noncommittal.
After Gao Ping paid his respects, he turned around and walked into the Stork Tower. After closing the door, in the sight of the Taoist official, there was a map of the situation in Jiuzhou, which changed slightly almost every year.
When asked about Bai Yujing who will be removed from the palace next year, the palace owner Wu Shuangjiang himself may only account for at least half.
The other half is the nine states of the world included in this situation map.
The wind and snow are vast, and the snowflakes are as big as the palm of your hand.
A barefooted monk in purple, leaving no trace in the snow, walked alone on the border between the two states. He came to a land of barren mountains and rivers with almost no spiritual energy, and looked at a cliff.
There are masters in the mountains.
The ninety-year-old monk is sitting in danger in a deep valley. He will not fall in the high winds through the ages.
Jiang Xiu, who said goodbye to his elegant prime minister Yao Qing and left the Qingshen Dynasty, wanted to come here to listen to his opinions.
After getting the ambiguous answer, Jiang Xiu just laughed it off and continued traveling.
Quietly enter the territory of Youzhou.
In Zhulu County, which is said to be the site of an ancient battlefield, there is a Qianhe Bridge in a place called Jiamaying.
