In the imperial palace of Dali Capital, Emperor Song He summoned the Five Mountain Monarchs from one continent to discuss matters in the imperial study.

I thought that the Nanyue female tiger would find excuses to evade, but I never thought that Fan Junmao would also come.

The five great mountains of Aquarius Continent, except Nanyue, are now within the territory of the Great Li Dynasty, so they continue to be nominally under the jurisdiction of the Song family of Great Li.

In fact, according to the treaty signed by Cui Yi, the national advisor, after the war, the territory of Dali retreated to the north of Qidu. However, the ancestral mountain of Dongyue Qishan is actually located south of Dadu. However, this matter has nothing to do with the gate of the Southern Immortal Palace Ancestral Hall.

The matter of erecting the monument was similar. There had been some opinions and small actions over the years. By the time the viewing ceremony at Zhengyang Mountain was over, the objections had subsided on their own.

There are still about two-quarters of an hour before the agreed time. Today's morning court has not yet retired, and His Majesty the Emperor has not yet appeared. Discussions in the Imperial Study Room usually belong to the second session, with fewer people, and are also known as "small court meetings."

The first person to arrive today is not Wei Bo, the Lord of the Northern Mountains near the water tower, but Jin Qing, the Lord of the Central Mountains.

Then came the two tigers from the east and west, Mengrong from Qishan Mountain and Tong Wenchang from Ganzhou Mountain.

Meng Rong's golden armor and sword are like those of a military general. Tong Wenchang's linen clothes and bare feet look like an old farmer, with an old jasper cigarette stick tied to his waist.

Next is Wei Bo, dressed in a snow-white robe, with a pair of sneaking shoes on his feet, a colorful belt around his waist, and a golden ring hanging from his ear.

Finally, there is Fan Junmao, wearing a dark green robe, with a jade plaque "Jun Qingyu Xiang" hanging on her waist. She has a delicate appearance, so she can't be considered a great beauty.

Perhaps standing with Wei Bo, not to mention a great beauty, not even a beauty.

In addition to the Five Mountain Monarchs, Yang Hua, the Marquis of Qidu Changchun, is the head water god of Aquarius Continent. Cao Rong, the great uncle of Dadu Lili, is second only to Yang Hua in terms of divine status.

The two Dadu Hou Bos arrived at the scene almost at the same time as Jin Qing, and they were able to chat for a few words. The main thing was that Cao Rong, who was born in Laojiao of Fengshui Cave in Qiantang River, chatted and laughed with Jinshan Jun.

Cao Rong and Zishan Jinqing have known each other for many years and have a good relationship. This old Jiao, who was born in Old Qiantang, often visited the territory of the old Zhuying Dynasty in his early years.

During his lifetime, Jin Qing was neither a civil or military general of the Zhu Ying Dynasty nor an accomplished spiritual practitioner. He was just a poor quarryer. He dug rocks all the year round and lit them under bonfires. Every time he mined Laokeng inkstone materials, Jin Qing was responsible.

Light a stick of incense to pay respect to the mountain god. According to the custom of the quarrymen, if the stick of incense is burned out successfully, they can go into the mountain to mine inkstones. However, one time, the incense went out midway, and Jin Qing was unwilling to take the risk, so he was arrested by the mining official.

He was whipped to death and then his body was sunk into the water. Jin Qing's true spirit remained after his death, and he was favored by the old tiger of Zhongyue of the old Zhu Ying Dynasty. He first helped Jin Qing stabilize his soul, and then arranged for a land temple to build a golden body.

After being promoted all the way and constantly promoted, Jin Qing finally became the mountain god of Diezhang Peak who was canonized by Zhu Ying's Dugu family. When the old tiger encountered an accident and his golden body was shattered, Jin Qing successfully succeeded to the throne of the tiger.

Become the Lord of Zishan Mountain.

After chatting about some interesting and trivial matters, Cao Rong asked with a smile: "Jin Shanjun, I heard that Wei Shanjun's self-made god name is Lingze?"

Jin Qing nodded and said: "If I had known this, I would have reported a 'night tour' number to the Ministry of Rites. Isn't Mr. Wei Shan doing things in an honest way? He blocks the latrine and doesn't shit."

Cao Rong said: "The several night banquets in Zishan were all held in great splendor and were well-known on the mountain."

Jin Qing hummed, "I learned it all from Wei Shanjun. How to organize a night banquet? We are all students."

Cao Rong laughed endlessly.

Yang Hua, the Marquis of Changchun in Dadu, remained silent.

She was concentrating with her eyes closed, holding the sword across her knees, and gently stroking the golden sword tassels in her hand.

As usual, high-ranking gods participated in discussions, and the Dali court allowed them to wear armor and carry swords to the temple.

There are only three of them in the house for now.

In fact, whether it is Jin Qing or Cao Rong, when they look at Yang Hua, who is in the second rank of a god, deep down, they treat her as a little girl who is inexperienced in the world.

Indeed, Yang Hua had too little qualifications, too little resume, and... too much luck. Back then, just because she was the personal maid of the Queen Mother's South Hairpin, she was able to become the Water Goddess of the Tiefu River in the old Longzhou. When the war

After the curtain fell, she went to Dadu to fill the vacancy. Did she ever do anything practical and make any achievements?

On the other hand, whether it is Jin Qing who is of the same rank as the Changchun Marquis of Dadu, Cao Rong who is half a rank lower than Yang Hua, or even the orthodox mountain gods of the Five Mountains Crown Prince Mountain, in terms of age and reputation, none of them are better than Yang Hua.

Flowers are stronger? So every time they talked about Yang Hua in private, they disapproved of it.

As for the female tiger Fan Junmao, she is similar to and opposite to Yang Hua. The similarity means that both parties are of similar age and both are new faces among the gods of mountains and rivers in a continent. The opposite means that Fan Junmao was in the process of that war.

, He worked hard and made great contributions. As one of the Five Mountains, he was defeated! He once completely lost the Tiger Mansion, the temple and the Taoist temple, so Fan Junmao is now on the Baopingzhou Mountain and cannot be underestimated. Nanyue's reputation is quite good.

In addition, there are some "retinues" of the Five Mountains and Mountains with high enough divine status who are qualified to attend the meeting today.

There is a huge difference between attending and attending as non-voting delegates. To put it simply, the former is allowed to speak, while the latter participates in the discussion and really just participates in the discussion.

The most numerous ones are the Chujun mountain god of the Five Mountains, and then there is the Yongjiang water god of the Zhongyue territory. As for the original Tiefu River water god of the Beiyue territory, as well as the Qiantang River known as the Zhishui Fuwen on the Dongyue territory.

Qualified to attend, but two divine seats are temporarily vacant.

I guess the candidates for the new Tiefu River Water God and Qiantang Chief will be discussed and approved today?

In the imperial study room, Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, was responsible for arranging the seats and leading the distinguished landscape gods to their seats.

Because His Majesty the Emperor has not yet entered the dojo, those who have already sat down in the room are chatting about their own affairs. When Wei Bo and the three princes and mountain gods enter the imperial study room, the atmosphere in the room suddenly becomes lively. As soon as the Beiyue boundary is the Dali Song family

In the land of Longxing, the tiger king Wei Bo is one of the first-class ministers of the emperor. Moreover, in the whole world now, who doesn't know that Piyun Mountain and Luopo Mountain have such a good relationship that they wear a pair of trousers, so some of them have nothing to do with that young hermit official.

Shanshui Zhengshen wants to build a good relationship with Mr. Wei Shan. In future celebrations on his mountaintop, instead of inviting Chen Pingan to attend the ceremony, he will ask Wei Shanjun to help express personal feelings and get a handwritten congratulatory note from Chen Pingan. It is always a kind of honor.

Light is the icing on the cake.

The content of the chat was mostly anecdotes about the landscape and the deeds of Qi practitioners.

In terms of proficiency in all kinds of anecdotes in a continent, there really is no one who knows the basics better than them.

In addition, the mountain gods and water gods on the borders of the Five Mountains and within the jurisdiction of Yiyue often have measures similar to "borrowing water" or "draining water" between each other. The landscape, water, and civil and military fortunes may all be exchanged.

Learn from each other's strengths and offset weaknesses, and try to take care of the barren land with thin spiritual energy and weak incense. When encountering severe droughts, floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters, especially involving Qi practitioners, some gray methods of the immortal mansion on the mountain, many gods are constantly

If you overstep the bounds of your duties and do not violate the rules, you can communicate with your neighbors and help each other. For example, the mountain god is most afraid of having no clues, and the opening of a dojo for Qi practitioners will not follow the moral principles of "Jianghu".

The construction of this kind of fairy mansion is tantamount to making a hole in the long body of a mountain god by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without flowing outward at all. It is also like the kind of severe drought that the water god is most afraid of.

After being exposed to the sun for a long time and the river bed drying up, it is like the kind of skin cracks common in the market. It is extremely painful. If you are not careful, the golden body of the water god in the temple will have irreversible cracks.

In history, there was a time when the relationship between the Immortal Palace of the sect and the Lord of the Lake was so bad that there was no room for maneuver. The former refused to do anything and joined forces with several imperial courts to build a tower directly in the upper reaches of a series of water sources and rivers in the Great Lakes.

A dam was built, and then the river course was changed. In just a few decades, the big lake dried up and bottomed out. All the billions of aquatic people died, and the golden body of the lake king finally collapsed. However, this kind of tragic incident that hurt both sides is still an exception after all.

The relationship between more gods and Qi practitioners is either sincere cooperation and mutual support, or they are tied together by interests. No matter how bad it is, they can at least maintain a superficial harmony.

All the gods who can sit here today are all well-deserved feudal officials on the mountain. Although they are divided into three, six or nine grades that they all know well, any mountain and water god can wait until the meeting is over and go home.

They are all the unequivocal "earth emperors" in their respective jurisdictions, and they have jurisdiction over an overwhelming number of river gods, mountain gods, land gods, river gods, river gods, and city gods at all levels. Generally speaking, the boundaries of mountains and rivers govern the territory, as long as there are no

In the Zongzitou sect, these high-ranking gods are a little more comfortable.

When Wei Bo entered the imperial study, there was no longer any discussion in the room about the excavation of the dam in Tongyezhou in the south. As for the night banquet, he deliberately avoided mentioning it.

Who doesn't know that in his early years, Tiger Wei once traveled to the border between Beiyue and Zhongyue, and had a huge fight with Tiger Jin Qing in front of their respective homes.

However, the relationship between the two tigers has somewhat eased in recent years. It is rumored that the mountain master Chen personally came to help them match up, and even went to Zishan in person.

Jin Qing asked: "Why didn't Ruan Chongfeng come?"

As the chief minister of the Great Li Dynasty and the previous head of the Longquan Sword Sect, Ruan Qiong would logically not miss this important meeting.

Wei Bo said: "It seems that Mr. Liu is the one serving the wine."

There is an unwritten rule in the study room of the Imperial Palace of Great Li. Neither the Qi Practitioners nor the Mountain and Water Masters should express their inner thoughts.

It is said that it was a reminder from Cui Chan, the national master, to an old tiger from Dali in his early years, and it later became a custom.

Jin Qing asked: "For such a big happy event, why don't you, Piyun Mountain, hold a night banquet to celebrate?"

After all, the Longquan Sword Sect is one of the only two sects in Beiyue. Liu Xianyang is a close friend of Chen Pingan from the same hometown, and Chen Pingan is your good brother Wei Shanjun, so we can organize a show.

Wei Bo was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.

Jin Qing asked: "Do I have to call you 'Lingze' from now on?"

Wei Bo said: "For those of us who make up our own names for gods, it's up to two people whether the Confucian Temple will accept it or not."

Jin Qing crossed Erlang's legs, patted his boots lightly, and sneered: "It's hard to say among us, but you, Mr. Wei Shan, will the Confucian Temple disapprove? If they don't give you face, they won't give face to Mr. Chen Shan."

If you don’t give face to Master Chen Shan, you don’t give face to Master Wen Sheng. Isn’t that the truth?”

Who doesn't know that the real leader in charge of the Confucian Temple today is actually the old scholar.

Wei Bo smiled and said: "I will tell Wen Sheng this truth about Lord Jinshan later."

Mr. Da and several other scholars had left Luolu Mountain before and seemed to have not shown up in other mountains yet. It is very possible that they were inspecting the local customs and customs.

Jin Qing was so frustrated that he looked at Wei Bo, trying to determine whether he was serious or joking. If it really got to the ears of the literary saint, it would be bad after all.

Meng Rong smoothed things over and said: "Whether the Confucian Temple approves our self-made god name or not, this time we have to thank Wei Shanjun for reminding us, otherwise we would not have known that there was such a thing."

If Wei Bo hadn't sent a letter to the other tiger mansions, saying that in accordance with the ancient rules of the Confucian Temple set by the Lisheng himself, the tigers of various continents and the Duke of Dadu could make up their own gods, otherwise who would have dared to think of it?

Among the mountains and rivers gods, who among us is not envious of Wei Bo's connections on the mountain. First of all, Beiyue governs the old territory of the Dali Dynasty, and Piyun Mountain's status in the officialdom of Shanshui is somewhat similar to that of the governor of the capital, so it is naturally close to the Song family of Dali.

Furthermore, Piyun Mountain and Luopo Mountain are close neighbors. The gods of the continent and the immortal masters all know what it means to bet on Chen Ping'an.

There is a saying that I don’t know who was the first to put forward, which is to regard a Luo Luo Mountain as a monk in the Fourteenth Realm.

It seems that the more I think about this statement, the more interesting it becomes, and it has a profound aftertaste.

For example, the prince is the deputy crown prince of the country, and each of the five mountains has its prince's mountain. However, these prince's mountains as vassal vassals are often far away from the "zhengyue ancestral mountain".

Beiyue Piyun Mountain has three princely mountains. The one located at the northernmost tip of Aquarius Continent is called Shenjian Mountain. There are continuous boulders in the mountain like drums, which sing faintly like thunder. In addition, there are Longshan Mountain and Niaoshu Mountain.

.

Zhongyue Daizi Mountain is composed of eight consecutive peaks. The main peak is called Fenglong Peak, which is known as the ancestor of ten thousand mountains in the central part of Aquarius Continent. This peak has a Laojun Cave that can be recorded in the records of mountains and seas. The secondary peaks are one after another.
