The peach blossoms in Shenxiao City are as famous as Xuandu Temple.

Dong painted talismans here and practiced his sword, unaware of the cold or heat outside the city.

The remaining eight sword cultivators from the same town have all begun to practice the dozen or so sword techniques taught by Shenxiao City. Ordinary Yushu City Taoist officials, even sword cultivators, have to rely on themselves if they want to obtain these superior sword techniques. Realm depends on merit.

Only Dong Huafu just memorized the sword tactics silently, but did not practice the sword tactics that even money could not buy.

In addition, Dong Huafu is the only one among the nine people who has not received the ultimatum from Baiyu Jing Yushu City. Regarding this matter, there are some discussions within Yushu City, but they were all suppressed by Wang Qing. , Wang Qing, one of the two deputy city lords of Shenxiao City, is a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a golden hibiscus crown. He has a gentle temperament and is very talkative. He often comes to the thatched house to chat with Dong Huafu.

Nowadays, the position of the city lord of Shenxiao City is still vacant. There are different opinions on who will be in charge of the city.

The two deputy city lords, Wang Qing, are in the immortal realm, and the other female crowned Xiao Feibai with the Taoist name "Mo Dou" is also an immortal, but she is also a Taoist Sword Immortal with excellent swordsmanship, so Xiao Feibai is better than Wang Qing to fill the vacancy of the city lord. The voice was louder. But the interesting thing is that Xiao Feibai and Wang Qing are Taoist couples, so no matter who takes over the Shenxiao City, it is considered that the wealth will not flow to outsiders.

The problem is that these two Taoist companions are only in the Immortal Realm, and as city lords, they are a bit "mediocre" after all.

So a change occurred not long ago, because an outsider came to Shenxiao City, Jianxiu Haosu.

Although this criminal officer is unknown in the Great Wall of Sword Qi and is not even among the top ten sword immortals at the top of the city, he has flowers inside the wall and fragrance outside the wall. He has killed Nan Guangzhao, an Ascension monk in the vast world, and killed Ascension monks in the wild world. The key to the realm of the great demon Xuan Pu is that this great demon is still the city lord of the Immortal Hairpin City, which is known as the tallest city in the world.

Therefore, the Taoist officials on the 12th floor of the five cities, including Shenxiao City, are now speculating on whether it is possible for Hao Su to directly serve as the city lord of Shenxiao City?

A guest came to the hut. The old rule is that the owner is very poor, so the guest must bring his own wine. This is called robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

Dong Huafu picked up the white bowl, took a sip of the peach pulp fairy wine that tasted good no matter how he drank it, and asked curiously: "Master Xing Guan, I heard that you are going to be a high official again?"

According to the second shopkeeper, if you use a cup instead of a bowl to drink wine, the taste will be at least half the difference.

The remaining eight fellow villagers are now Taoist priests in Shenxiao City, and they are all doing well. They often come here to chat about gossip about various cities and buildings in Baiyujing.

Those eight young sword cultivators would occasionally go to Hao Su to ask questions when they encountered difficulties in their practice. At first, Hao Su would answer their questions in detail. However, it didn't take long for Hao Su to formulate a plan for them. There is a rule, one question per realm. That is to say, when each sword cultivator is in a certain realm, he can only ask Hao Su once. The next time he asks questions, he can only wait until he breaks through the realm.

The sword cultivator in front of me, who belongs to his "own family", really has a prosperous official career. He can be an official anywhere. I am envious of him.

Hao Su shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a lie. I made an appointment with Lu Chen before I came here. I will only be a guest of Shenxiao City."

Dong Huafu asked: "Is it because I know that I can't be a good person, so I act like a good boy, or is it because I can be a good person but I just don't want to be a good person?"

Hao Su said: "You can become one if you want to, but it's not necessary. Being involved in too many worldly affairs will only delay sword refining."

Dong Huafu raised the wine bowl, hung it in the air, and asked: "Is this the reason why the criminal officer can't use his sword at the Great Wall of Sword Qi?"

Hao Su looked sad, shook his head and said: "I don't dare to die for some reasons. But I have never used my sword to kill monsters. After all, it is a fact. I am ashamed of my trust in the boss sword fairy."

On the battlefield of the Great Sword Qi Wall, every sword immortal who is lured out of the city to fight, and every wild demon who is domineering or seemingly reckless is often a far-reaching and insidious plan. In order to obtain something in the wild world,

A feat of slaying a sword immortal can be said to involve all possible means. The bait for an ambush could be to surround some young sword cultivators on the Sword Qi Great Wall without killing them, or it could be to capture a wild monster clan forced by a big monster.

On the wine table of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there was once a saying that was first spread from the summer palace. Every sword immortal who grew up died at least five "future" sword immortals.

Dong Huafu nodded and said with a grin: "For such a high-ranking official, his level is still high, and he is willing to say such soft words to a junior like me. Mr. Xingguan still has some conscience. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Mentioned, let’s go.”

This is also the reason why Hao Su is willing to come here often with wine to "discuss". Here, he can at least hear a few true words. Regardless of his realm, he is an equal at the drinking table in the world.

Dong Huafu asked: "With your level as a criminal officer, why don't you go to another city to get a better job?"

An Ascension Realm sword cultivator is no longer a favorite.

Shenxiao City's current position on the twelfth floor of Baiyujing's five cities is neither low nor high.

Haosu said: "I still have the title of former criminal officer, so I can take care of you here."

Over in Feisheng City in Colorful World, the new criminal officer is Qi Shou, but Ning Yao is only acting as the official, so in a strict sense, Hao Su does belong to the former criminal officer.

Dong Hua Fu raised his head and looked into the distance. The huge city hung high and the fairy spirit was misty.

Lingbao City is the place where the second master Yu Dou gained his Taoism, and Nanhua City is the dojo of the third master Lu Chen.

The Green City, also known as the Jade Emperor City, was once the place where the great master Kou Ming preached. It was the first city built by Bai Yujing. Only the Purple Qi Tower built by Daozu himself was "the same age".

As for the Yunshui Tower and Linlang Tower among the twelfth floor, they are both the lineage passed down by the great master.

For some unknown reason, Jiang Yunsheng, who had only been the Lord of Green City for a few days, quickly went into seclusion.

The outside world speculates that Jiang Yunsheng has received a great fortune and is going to accomplish a feat of breaking through two realms within a few years and attaining enlightenment and ascending to heaven.

In fact, this guess is neither correct nor correct.

Headmaster Lu once had a Taoist demon captured from the outer world hidden in the sleeve of a Taoist robe that he named "beating up all the smart people in the world", and then secretly dropped it into the Taoist heart of Jiang Yunsheng, who was "promoted and made rich".

Because the so-called Dao is as high as the demon, it is not easy to be the city lord of Green City. If Jiang Yunsheng cannot defeat his inner demon, he may be able to directly fight and reincarnate.

There are at most two deputy building owners on the twelfth floor, and they must be immortal-level Taoist officials to be qualified.

However, there is no quota for the number of deputy city lords in the five cities, ranging from one to three, and it only depends on the personal preference of the city lord.

The height of the 12th floor of the Five Cities will rise and fall to varying degrees according to the accumulation of merit in each period.

Dong Huafu asked curiously: "Master Xingguan, do you know where the Grand Master has gone?"

Hao Su smiled and said: "This is Bai Yujing's top secret. I am an outsider and I don't know where to go. Next time Lu Chen comes here as a guest, you can ask him yourself."

I have to admit that Lu Chen is a wonderful person.

The fairy peaches from Shenxiao City and the Jade Emperor plums from Green City are both world-recognized delicacies of the immortal family.

Green City is located in the northernmost part of Baiyujing.

One city has the Jade Emperor Cave, one of the ten largest caves, the "Lingli Cave" and the "Xike Cave", two of the thirty-six caves, and it also occupies three of the seventy-two blessed lands.

This is the only one in Baiyu Jing. Even after looking at several places in the world, I can't find another one.

In the Qingming world, mountain luck is the most common.

The heaven is divided into yin and yang, the universe is opened, the clear and the turbid are separated, and the earth merges into the sea and rivers, with the sun, moon and stars above, the spiritual energy forms the Yuezhen Mountains, and the cave and heaven are hidden below.

Within the Fourteen Prefectures, there is no such thing as "Five Mountains" in any country, but each prefecture has a famous mountain with a "town" name. Among them, the four major prefectures, including Youzhou, can also have the title of "Yue", which is somewhat similar to the name of a mountain.

A minister in the officialdom also holds the title of Grand Master and Taifu. Those in the remaining ten towns who do not have the title of Yue are only given the town title. Therefore, the foot of the mountain is commonly known as the Four Mountains and Ten Mountains. In each "Zhenyue", the king of the gods has built a palace.

In the administrative office, the other ten tiger kings have slightly lower spiritual status.

Today, the two deputy city lords who were supposed to attend the meeting at Yuqing Palace actually visited the thatched cottage together.

Of course Hao Su could see that they were both out of body. For the great cause of Shenxiao City and the inheritance of incense, this couple really had good intentions.

As expected, Wang Qing called him by his first name and said straight to the point: "Haosu, before the Yuqing Palace has discussed your identity arrangement, my wife and I are willing to recommend you to be the lord of Shenxiao City. As long as you nod, we will do it in the Yuqing Palace."

With Bian’s true identity, I have the confidence to discuss this matter with the two masters.”

The entire Shenxiao City's Ancestral Hall has made a decision, and they all feel that it is feasible to let Hao Su serve as the city lord.

Hao Su was unambiguous and shook his head directly: "It's okay if you don't eat this kind of hot potato."

For sword cultivators, everything is virtual, only the realm is the most real.

Hao Su aspired to practice pure swordsmanship in the Fourteenth Realm and had no other aspirations.

Hao Su said frankly: "Shenxiao City has limited resources. If I were asked to be the city lord of Green City, I might still consider it."

Once you become the city lord over there, you can naturally occupy one of the caves and open it as a dojo, where you can practice swordsmanship and get twice the result with half the effort.

In this Shenxiao City, which has only one blessed land, Hao Su doesn't think there are any tangible benefits to being the city lord. For the sake of a false reputation, he has to be distracted from mundane things all year round, which is not worthwhile.

Xiao Feibai smiled bitterly and was speechless. He glanced at his husband. You had guessed that he really looked down on a city like Shenxiao where "a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice".

Baiyujing has five cities, Green City, Lingbao City, Nanhua City, Yushu City, and Shenxiao City.

Because there were nine more sword cultivators in Shenxiao City, Shenxiao City, which had been falling down again and again, finally rose to a height of one hundred feet. The height of one hundred feet, just the extent of the increase, is negligible in the majestic White Jade Capital.

But Shenxiao City finally stopped its decline, which is more important than anything else.

Although the Green City has been declining since the Grand Master resigned as the city lord, and the "landing" height is the highest among the five cities, but it has a strong family background. "The twelfth floor of the Jade Capital, the towering mountains are leaning on the greenery" is nothing

Praising words. Compared with Shenxiao City, the former has only one Xiaoshu coin, while the latter has one Grain Rain coin, so it also costs one Snow coin. Who is more wasteful? The answer is obvious.

Nowadays, the height of Shenxiao City is already at the bottom after being surpassed by Yushu City. The problem is that it is only ranked at the bottom among the five cities. In the past five hundred years, it has been surpassed by two floors. If this continues

, Shenxiao City really does not deserve its name, just like some of the harsh words from other states. It would be better to rename it "Shenxiao Tower", and the ranking would sound much better.

The old city lord Yao Kejiu, whose Taoist name was "Naigu", died on the Sword Qi Great Wall.

The old Taoist priest is also the master of Wang Qing and Xiao Feibai.

There are more than 6,000 Taoist officials in the city, but they are not available.

In the past thousand years, there has not been a talented Taoist official who dares to say that he is definitely qualified to attain enlightenment and ascension.

Both Wang Qing and Xiao Feibai believed that they had no hope of reaching the Ascension Realm in this life. As a result, the next city lord of Shenxiao City must have enough realm to be able to shoulder the responsibility, renew the incense of Shenxiao City, and revitalize the Taoism.

Hao Su cupped his fists and said, "I'm really sorry, I have a heavy responsibility to bear."

Wang Qing sighed. Disappointment was unavoidable, but he still smiled and said: "I don't dare to force others to do anything. It is a great blessing for you, sir, to be the guest of Shenxiao City."

After the two deputy city chief Taoist officials said their goodbyes and left, Hao Su smiled and said: "Dong Heitan, do you really recognize Yin Guan like this?"

Dong Huafu nodded and said: "I am too lazy to use my brain. He thinks things through. Besides, Chen Ping'an has a feeling that I can't describe. It's not common."

Haosu asked: "Tell me about it."

In fact, he, a criminal officer, had only known Chen Ping'an, who was a hidden officer, for a short time, and he had not even exchanged a few words with him.

Dong Huafu hesitated for a moment, "I'm just talking about a feeling. For example, walking on the road, even if I don't know you, I can feel the 'qi' on your body. Deputy City Lord Xiao Feibai, even more so, can't see you at first sight.
