Xiaowutai, the most magnificent hall, was almost all built using the oldest methods.
It is almost a pure wooden building, and the connections between the pillars and beams are also the unique mortise and tenon structure of the Xia Kingdom. The red pillars, blue tiles, and the ground paved with rocks are completely generous.
The interior of this hall is also extremely spacious and can definitely accommodate tens of thousands of people for meetings here.
However, at this time, it seemed a bit shabby, as if it had just been built. The smell of logs was still floating in the air, with the fragrance of pines and cypresses, and some fruity woods.
There are curtains hanging in many places, as if the mountain breeze is seeping in from the outside, and the curtains are constantly fluttering, which makes it feel very unique.
At this time, there were more than twenty seats in the empty hall.
There was a famous Taoist sitting on these seats. They all looked young, but some looked to be in their fifties or sixties. There were also several ordinary people wearing casual clothes.
After Shen Yao walked in, he saw these people, glanced around, found several empty seats, and walked straight over.
Among these people, Shen Yao also saw an acquaintance. It was the old Taoist priest who had lived for hundreds of years. He was sitting on a chair. When he saw Shen Yao walking in, his originally cloudy eyes burst out. A touch of brilliance.
It seemed that he was aware of the improvement in Shen Yao's strength.
He smiled at Shen Yao, nodded, and closed his eyes to rest, as if he had never seen Shen Yao before.
"Mr. Shen is here, please sit down..."
A middle-aged man sitting in the middle of these seats smiled kindly at Shen Yao and made a very polite gesture.
He exudes a touch of majesty, which is obviously the aura of someone who has been in a high position all year round. It is also accompanied by an iron-blooded aura, and he is probably a soldier.
It can be seen that he is very familiar with Shen Yao. It can be said that he knows everything about Shen Yao. He must have an extraordinary status in the official circles.
"Now that Mr. Shen is here, let's get started! Let me introduce myself first. I am Luo Yonghua, the staff officer of the Xia Kingdom's Central Office in Kyoto and the current director of the Special Affairs Bureau. The Special Affairs Bureau is a newly established department headed by the elders of Kyoto. The meeting is directly responsible, and as long as the function is to be responsible for all affairs of the Xia Kingdom."
"To put it simply, it means direct management of masters who are beyond ordinary people."
"I believe everyone has also felt that the spiritual power of heaven and earth is constantly increasing. According to the simulation using the supercomputer above, it is estimated that our current spiritual power of heaven and earth will return to the level of the pre-Qin era in less than ten years."
"That is to say, those long-lost herbs or some strange animals will also appear one by one. Even now, some animals in the mountains have appeared atavistic imaginations."
"Then people who practice martial arts will inevitably become more and more powerful. Even in order to pursue physical fitness, more people will practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies. It is said that chivalrous people use martial arts to break the ban. Some people have gained strength and encountered injustice. Or if you have a grievance in your heart, you can't help but want to solve it in your own way."
"This is absolutely not allowed. Everything needs a rule. Otherwise, our country will be in chaos."
"Therefore, it is imperative that we take special care of and deal with special matters."
"This time, on behalf of the official Xia Kingdom, I would like to congratulate all Taoist friends of the Taoist sect and wish the Taoist sect conference a complete success. This is the venue for the Taoist sect conference, but it is not the last time."
"In the future, our officials will also be here. We will hold a martial arts conference every year to select some outstanding talents. For those who have achieved good results, we will give high rewards, including breathing techniques, boxing techniques, and even resources.
, if you want to join our official team, we are very welcome.”
"If you don't want to, we won't force it. I also hope that you can spread this news in the world. At least our officials cannot directly come forward on this matter to prevent it from irritating those Western countries."
"In short, on the surface, the martial arts conference is hosted by Jianghu forces, but in fact, it is officially hosted. I hope you can understand..."
Luo Yonghua's remarks shocked everyone.
It can be seen that the Xia Kingdom officials must have foreseen something. Knowing that there will be more and more people practicing martial arts in the future, they first established a special affairs bureau, just like the official forces in ancient times that managed people in the world, such as Liu
door.
What surprised them the most was the annual martial arts conference. There was no doubt that this was the Xia Kingdom's official efforts to gather the power of the martial arts world, in order to catch all the talented martial arts masters in one fell swoop.
As members of the Taoist sect, they naturally felt that an unprecedented era was coming.
The officials probably did this for the sake of social peace and harmony in the future.
"I wonder if you have any other suggestions?"
Luo Yonghua looked around at everyone and asked.
Everyone shook their heads. Since the official arrangements have been made, they must have been carefully considered. What suggestions can they make?
"In this case, let's talk about the Taoist Conference next! We have already discussed the basic procedures. We must ensure one thing, that is, try not to cause any loss of life."
"I know that this conference is to select a Taoist master. Originally, this is a Taoist matter and has little to do with the official. But after all, you all live in Xia Kingdom, and every move has a great impact, and we will not make too much of it.
Intervene, but you must abide by the law."
"Recently, some people in the world have taken advantage of this conference to cause trouble, which has caused some people in the villages around Zhongnan Mountain to have opinions. I also hope that you can help. If you find those people in the world who are messing around,
, please be sure to take it and hand it over to our official processing."
"Okay, that's all I have to say, Tianshi Chen, I'll leave the rest to you."
After Luo Yonghua finished speaking, he turned to look at an old man beside him wearing a crimson robe of a heavenly master.
The other party slightly cupped his hand, and glanced at it, but it gave people a great sense of oppression. Finally, he looked at Shen Yao, his eyes were very soft, and there was a bit of kindness from an elder: "Shen Yao, you are here on behalf of Master Chunyang.
?”
"Yes, my uncle is probably still abroad and can't come."
Shen Yao shook his head and said.
"Since I can't come, I'll tell you about the rules of this Taoist conference..."
After Tianshi Chen finished speaking, he paused and continued to ask: "May I ask if you have the Taoist token of our Taoist master?"
"It's in my hands."
Shen Yao nodded and readily admitted that there was no need to lie about this matter.
Since his uncle couldn't come, the things must be delivered. After all, the Taoist Conference was already agreed upon, and Zhang Chunyang wouldn't let this matter slip by.
"Since it's in your hands, keep it well and don't lose it."
Tianshi Chen gave Shen Yao a warning.
Before Shen Yao could respond, another Taoist priest wearing a blue robe, with eyes like daggers, said directly: "Wait a minute, this matter is very inappropriate. I think this junior should hand over the Taoist Master's token."
