Chapter 53: Xijing

Zhang Haishi's reply arrived soon, and Li Xuandu immediately took his letter to visit the Wanshou Zhenren of Miaozhenzong, but Li Xuandu came one step late, and after the end of the ceremony, Wanshou Zhenren had already left to return to Shuzhou, helpless, Li Xuandu could only go to Tiancang Mountain to visit.

This time, Li Xuandu decided to go to Shuzhou alone, but in order not to repeat the mistakes of Situ Xuance, he also had to make some preparations, in addition to the "human world" and "immortal staff", Qin Qing also specially prepared a semi-immortal thing for him, from the Forgetfulness Sect, called "Flower in the Mirror", this thing itself is not very powerful, but like the "Little Purple Mansion", there are other wonderful uses, as long as it is used properly, even if an immortal immortal personally intercepts and kills Li Xuandu, Li Xuandu can also protect himself.

As for Qin Su, if he wants to follow Qin Qing to Cihangzong as a guest, in a sense, the marriage between Qin Qing and Bai Xiushang is even more important than the marriage between Li Xuandu and Qin Su, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. Now that Li Xuandu and Qin Su have been married, they are only waiting to get married, so the marriage of Qin Qing and Bai Xiushang is also on the agenda, and Qin Qing went to Putuo Island in the South China Sea this time for this matter.

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

Longmen Mansion is not far from Qinzhou, after passing Qinzhou is the gateway to Shu Qinzhongfu, from there into Shuzhou, to the southwest, is one of the four famous mountains of Daomen Tiancang Mountain, is also the gateway of Miaozhenzong.

However, this road is not a smooth road, since the second year of Tianbao, Qinzhou, Liangzhou, and Shuzhou have fallen into the hands of the five sects in the northwest, and the reason why Miaozhen Sect can still gain a foothold in Shuzhou is because of the last time the jade void fought the sword and won the right way. In today's Shuzhou, the forces of all parties are complicated, in addition to the Miaozhen Sect, there are also foreign forces such as the Qingyang Sect and the Five Sects in the Northwest, as well as the Tang family and other local powers, which is also beyond the reach of Qin Qing, Li Xuandu wants to subdue the Tang family with the power of one person, which is unrealistic, so he has to go to the Miaozhen Sect first.

After passing the Beibi Mountain and entering the territory of Qinzhou, Li Xuandu changed his disguise, replaced the crane cloud shoes, changed into short brown boots, and supplemented by a mask of a weak-crowned scholar, so Li Xuandu is no longer the suzerain of the Taiping Sect, nor is he the little real person in charge of the Taoist sect, but an ordinary Jianghu scattered person.

This road is not smooth, not only is it as simple as bandits are rampant, but there are also believers in the Qingyang Sect, the military of the Northwest Great Zhou, and all kinds of unscrupulous evil disciples. Li Xuandu walked along the post road and passed through several small towns, all of which were ten rooms and nine empty, but he saw that the fields along the way were all cracked, and the fields were full of thorns and grass, and they were desolate.

Li Xuan remembered that Shen Changsheng once mentioned that he and Shen Shuangmei encountered cannibalism on the way to Miaozhen Sect, and from this point of view, it was not false at all. This reminded Li Xuandu of his memories about Cairen City, and his mood couldn't help but be a little darker. Li Xuandu entered a few more county towns that were still populated, and asked about the price of grain, which was outrageously high, almost three times that of Jiangnan, and did not recognize silver tickets, whether it was the ticket number of Dijing or the big money village in Jiangnan, it was not in circulation, so he only took gold and silver seriously.

Li Xuan couldn't help but sigh, Taiyun is a genius who is rare in a hundred years in terms of cultivating and seeking immortality, but when it comes to governing the country, Taiyun is a mess, and in this regard, he is still a Confucian

The Chinese are more reliable, after all, they have been inherited for many years, and most of the names of the past dynasties are Confucian disciples, and Zhang Suqing, who Li Xuandu admires the most, is also among them.

Because of this, Li Xuandu never thought of eliminating Confucianism, he just wanted to change Confucianism, just like when Zhang Suqing and the four ministers were still there.

However, after Li Xuandu entered the Xijing area, the situation improved, not only the bandits decreased, but also the fields were green. For Li Xuandu, if he wants the world to be peaceful, the three northwestern states cannot be bypassed, so he gave birth to the idea of going to Xijing. If you want to know the exact situation of the Northwest Zhou, Xijing can't get around, no matter how much you hear it, it's better to go and see it yourself. After all, it was an excellent time for Taiyun to be out of Xijing at this time, as long as he was careful, no one could help him.

For the people of the Central Plains, the world is two capitals and nineteen states, and the nineteen states are: Liaozhou, Youzhou, Fengzhou, Yanzhou, Jinzhou, Qizhou, Luzhou, Zhongzhou, Jiangzhou, Jingzhou, Qinzhou, Xiangzhou, Xiaozhou, Wuzhou, Chuzhou, Shuzhou, Liangzhou, Minzhou, Yuezhou, and the two capitals are the imperial capital, the imperial capital and the east and west subordinate to the two capitals.

Xijing is not just a city, there are also some prefectures and counties directly under the Xijing Imperial Court, that is, Xizhili, which corresponds to the Dongzhili around the imperial capital.

Now Li Xuandu is in the territory of Xizhili, and there is still a short way to go from Xijing. Speaking of Xijing, it was also ill-fated and fell into the hands of the enemy twice. The first time was when the Golden Horde army captured Xijing, but it was recovered by Qin Xiang and his army after a short time. The second time was broken by the Northwest Great Zhou, and the Wudao Sect entered Xijing until now. Today's Xijing has become the core of the Wudao Sect, including the palace of Yutaiyun and the residences of the major elders, all of which are in Xijing City. And the palace of Taiyun is the Xijing Imperial Palace of that year, which is more complete than the Ziwei City of Longmen Mansion, second only to the imperial palace of Dijing.

Counting the history of Xijing, long before the ancestral dragon dominated the world, this place was where the Son of Heaven was, and the ancestral dragon was the world, and the capital also included part of Xijing today. Today, Xijing is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties. It is said that when Xijing was at its peak, the area was twice that of the current imperial capital and 30 times that of the Golden Horde. However, today's Xijing is no longer comparable to that year, only half of the area of that year is left, and the rest have been destroyed in the war.

In addition to its magnificent scale, Xijing City is also in strict layout with a symmetrical structure and neat arrangement with Longmen Mansion. There are three gates on each side of the outer city, and the six main streets that run through the twelve gates are the main roads of the city. The Suzaku Street, which runs through the north and south, is a central axis, which connects the Chengtian Gate of the Miyagi, the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial City and the Mingdemen Gate of the Outer City, and divides Xijing into two parts that are symmetrical from east to west, with the east and west parts each having the east and west markets. There are 11 main streets in the north and south, and 14 main streets in the east and west of the city, which divide the residential area into 110 square squares neatly, and its shape is similar to a chessboard.

Miyagi is located in the middle of the north, the middle is the Taiji Palace, and the main hall is the Taiji Palace. The east is the East Palace, and the west is the Yeting Palace where the palace people live. The imperial city is connected to the south of the palace city, the left temple, the right Sheji, and there are major yamen.

These descriptions of Xijing, whether it is the imperial court or the major sects, have been recorded, and it is not difficult to find. But Li Xuandu has never been to Xijing

He even wanted to take advantage of Taiyun's absence to take a look with his own eyes.

Li Xuandu walked along the official road, and the green seedlings in the fields on both sides of the road were growing well, and the wind blew through, like layers of waves. Li Xuandu sniffed the aroma of the earth in the air, and decided to retract his evaluation of Taiyun, it is definitely not possible to govern a country, and a state is also very reluctant, but the land of several mansions is not bad, and it can be called the word "Taiping".

Along the way, Li Xuandu also encountered several levels, but with his realm cultivation, he naturally avoided them easily. also met some Qingyang Sect believers who went to Xijing, and the altar master of that group of believers wanted to come up and talk to Li Xuandu, but Li Xuan didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he disappeared directly with "Star Turning". This altar master has some insight and knows that he has met a master, after all, it is Xijing, and it is not unusual for a master to haunt from time to time.

After walking like this for most of the day, a majestic city seemed to rise from the ground, and appeared in Li Xuandu's sight very abruptly, like a black and oppressive mountain, and it seemed that dark clouds from far and near covered the sky.

Li Xuandu stopped, and when he looked at it, he couldn't see the end of the city wall. When he walked in, he came to the city wall, and when he looked up, he could not see how high the city wall was, but only half of the sky, and he was standing in the shadow cast by the wall.

Li Xuandu took a deep breath, restrained all his breath, did not pass through the city gate, and directly entered the Xijing City with the "Star Turning Dou Shift".

......

Chen Fangzhi looked at the black wrench on his finger that had become unremarkable, and could not hide his anxiety. Just now, he found that he had lost contact with Mr. Ji, and Mr. Ji, who had taught him to cultivate the "Future Star Mahayana Tribulation Sutra", seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

It's no wonder that Chen Fangzhi is like this, in the past few days, he has broken through the solid realm and entered the imperial qi realm through the cultivation of the "Future Star Mahayana Tribulation Sutra", which makes Wei Qin'er very happy, but it did not arouse her suspicion, because Chen Fangzhi has stayed in the solid realm for such a long time, and it is not unusual to be promoted to a realm, and it is abnormal to stop moving, in the eyes of others, it is nothing more than water grinding work. Only Chen Fangzhi understands what is going on, he is no longer a martial artist, but a monk, and he faintly feels that he is not far from entering the divine realm, which makes him see his hope of revenge, all thanks to that Mr. Ji, now that Mr. Ji is gone, how can he not be in a hurry?

Chen Fangzhi kept calling Mr. Ji in his heart with the method that Mr. Ji taught him, and after about an hour, Mr. Ji finally responded, "What are you yelling about." ”

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

Mr. Ji's voice was no longer calm and calm as before, and he said hesitantly: "That altar master of yours is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he dares to provoke that person." ”

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

"Exactly. Mr. Ji's tone was a little low, "This person is in a high position and has many masters, I will be reduced to the situation I am in today, all thanks to this person, if you can cultivate to a great success in the future, you must avenge me." ”

Chen Fangzhi was completely shocked.
