After Zhang Yu came out of Yaoguang Dao Palace, he immediately turned back to Shouzheng Palace. When he reached the steps, he saw petals of various colors flying around the palace, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard.
It is now the end of December, and in a few days it will be the 382nd year of the Great Xuan Calendar.
There is only a record of the year in Xuanting, and there is no talk of a new year. However, those gods and men on duty seem to be quite yearning for it. Red lanterns are hung under the eaves around the palace, and they all have changed into new clothes and costumes.
.
In addition, folklore has folklore that a Nian beast appears during the New Year and must be frightened away by firecrackers. This is just a legend among the people, but at the upper level, due to the thoughts of many living beings, this Nian beast is a real thing.
When the year changes, it will run out.
Of course, Nian Beast does not dare to come to Xuanzun Dao Palace, and will only attack the god's station. Anyone who has a god who becomes a supervisor in Xuanzun Dao Palace will light firecrackers to show that he is well-established.
This way you won't be attacked.
He walked in, and a goddess on duty came over, gave her a gift of blessings, handed over a gold book, and said: "Shou Zheng, the New Year is coming, and the Snow Master will be responsible for spreading the auspicious snow on the New Year's Eve. She can perform the duties here in Shouzheng Palace."
What?"
Within the Qingqiong Yuanci, the movement of the sun and menstruation, the exhaust of wind and snow, the combing of mountains and rivers, the management of solar terms, and other matters are all left to the responsibility of the gods.
Of course, it's not that the monks in Qingqiong can't do this themselves, but it gives these gods something to do so they don't have to think about the lower world all day long.
In the past, those gods and men who secretly traveled to the lower world were all contaminated by external contamination, and eventually transformed into various gods and monsters, without exception.
At first, Qingqiong tried to capture him and imprison him, but found that this kind of thing was forbidden repeatedly. Later, he ruthlessly killed him directly, and inspired the gods to patrol and guard him, so he banned this thing.
Zhang Yu picked up his pen, made a mark on the gold book, and said: "It will be fine as usual."
The goddess on duty said in agreement and asked: "Every palace has arranged a dance and music drama during the New Year. Can Shouzheng want to watch it?"
Zhang Yudao: "There is a great drama, so I won't watch it. All the officials in the palace can go to watch the drama. Since it is the New Year, I allow you to wait for half a month to take a rest."
The female duty officer showed a happy face, bowed her head and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Shouzheng."
Zhang Yu nodded, waved his sleeves, and let him go.
He returned to the side hall and looked at Lord Miaodan first. The little ocelot was now in a deep sleep. He understood that this was the nourishment of the upper world and the dispersion of the elixir, which caused it to enter another stage of growth.
, and this little leopard cat has a faint hint of something magical about it. If nothing goes wrong, this is a sign that magical powers will be revealed.
He casually placed a layer of restrictions and returned to the main hall. After sitting down in the hall, he transformed into an avatar and went to Kuisu to spend the New Year with Li Qinghe, Qingshu, Qingxi and others, while he read Taoist books and thought.
Improving the Hun Zhang method.
The current problem for Hun cultivators is that the Hun Zhang cultivators above them do not regard them as one of their own, and there is no one to guide them. The monks at the bottom can easily become confused monsters, which makes them unpopular, and many people's minds become increasingly distorted.
But after all, this is a road leading to the great road. If it can be straightened out, it will also give the monks below one more choice.
If others don't want to do something, let him do it.
Deep in the West Dome, somewhere in a secluded city, Gan Bai was stationed in the Taoist chapter, reprimanding those messages that provoked him one by one.
At this time, a disciple came up to the cliff and handed him a glowing letter, saying: "Xuanzun, this is a letter from the main palace."
Gan Bai withdrew from the Dao Chapter, took the letter over, and said with a curled lips: "Now you are still doing this trick of sending letters by flying letters? Is it so difficult to find a Xuanxiu or Hunxiu?"
The letter shook slightly, and a voice came from inside: "Gan Xuanzun, the eldest master has said that using that seal to send letters can easily reveal our secrets, so it's better to be more cautious."
Gan Bai made a sound and said: "You are so confident, but I am afraid that if you use the Dao Zhang to pass on the letter, it will be of no use to you later."
The letter called Qu Dao: "Xuanzun has wronged the villain. The villain has no such intention. The villain is loyal."
Gan Bo didn't have the heart to talk about a letter, so he opened it and looked through it, only to see that it was said that the New Year was approaching, and as usual, the palace convened all the town guards to discuss matters, and asked him to send incarnations there. This time
The discussion was mainly about how to deal with the recent issue of Xuntian Daozhang.
Gan Bai curled his lips, Youcheng's discussion was actually imitating Xuan Ting's discussion.
But you can learn the surface, but you can't learn the inside. Xuan Ting not only controls the worldly power, but also has the suppression of Xuanfu in various places. The top and bottom are integrated and orderly. It can really solve the problem. The guards of Youcheng are usually distributed all over the void.
, ignore it, the discussion is to negotiate a bunch of things that seem feasible, but are impossible to actually accomplish.
The more he compares with Tianxia's place, the more he feels that Youcheng is too bad. It's just that upper-class cultivators like him are living a good life here.
"Sooner or later, this Poyou City will be finished." He muttered in his heart, threw the letter aside, and said, "I know, you go back and tell the Lord, I will go."
The letter floated in a circle and stopped. It accomplished something, and it was very happy and said: "Then I wish Gan Xuanzun a long life and long life, and my Taoism will be forever. I will retire." After saying that, he went out.
As soon as it flew, it turned into a golden light and flew away.
In the upper level of Qingqiong, because there was no court meeting in January, it was quiet. Until the middle of February, when the chime bell rang, all the court officials came to the court again.
As soon as the court meeting began, the first Taoist asked questions according to the rules. Changsun Taoist immediately rang the bell, stood up and saluted, pointed to the wind, and said:
"The chief executive, Feng Zixian, and Gao Mo were originally supported by Xuan Ting to take the position of imperial executive. However, regardless of their merits and cultivation, they are not qualified for this position. Therefore, I petitioned to remove them from the imperial office.
This position is to rectify the clear voice of Xuan Ting."
The first Taoist looked at him, then at everyone present, and said, "What do you mean?"
Zhong Daoren rang the bell at his seat and said, "Zhong thinks that these two have some merits."
He said something on behalf of the two of you at this moment, which was regarded as fulfilling his previous promise. However, he knew very well that as long as the leader did not object, this matter would be accomplished. If the leader opposed it, no matter whether he agreed or not, it would be normal.
Feng and Gao looked at each other and then both stood up.
Feng Daoist bowed to the superior and said: "Chief Executive, all court officials, Changsun Tingzhi said it is true. I have a weak virtue and a weak talent, so I am willing to give up my position."
Since Xuan Fa's name was corrected, they had long thought that this day would come. Now they don't value the position of Tingzhi that much. After all, they feel that they have nothing to say and have nothing to lose. The current deduction is perfect.
Doing your own work is important.
The Tingzhi were a little surprised. If these two people clung to the position of Tingzhi, they would understand, but they would not think highly of these two people, but now they looked at them favorably.
The first Taoist said slowly at this time: "Feng Tingzhi, your appointment to the position of Tingzhi is decided by Xuan Ting, why is there anything wrong? You can just sit in this position with peace of mind."
When the cultivators in the court saw that he only mentioned Feng Tingzhi in his words but did not raise Tingzhi, they immediately understood what he meant.
Feng Taoist was actively supported by Xuan Ting in order to promote Xuanfa. It was not his own will from beginning to end. But Gao Taoist was different. His achievements were due to the promotion of Hunxiu behind him. In the past, Xuan Ting just pushed it.
Zhou did not do this on his own initiative, but now he wants to correct this mistake.
Taoist Gao understood it at this time and bowed to the superior: "Gao is willing to step down."
The first Taoist looked around and said, "What do you think?"
Zhong Daoren didn't say anything, and secretly cried out that it was a pity. It seemed that things could only go so far. The leader had no intention of killing these two people. This may be due to the importance of Xuan Xiu Xuan Dharma nowadays.
Therefore, it is necessary to keep one person in the court to calm people's hearts.
Chao Huan said: "Since Gao Tingzhi is willing to do it himself, why bother to stop him?" He raised his jade mallet and struck it, and then he agreed with the proposal.
Afterwards, everyone had the same opinion, so they all struck the jade chimes, even Taoist Zhong and Taoist Changsun, because they also knew that they could not change the result.
However, it is good to take away one person's position, and the vacant position of court leader can also be used to make some plans.
At this time, Taoist Gao said: "Chief Executive, all court officials, since you are not court officials, it is useless to stay here. Gao will leave now."
The first Taoist said: "Fellow Taoist Master, the decision of the court will not be announced until the court meeting is over. Only then will it be counted. If you stay here first, it will be counted as a conclusion."
The Taoist priest knew that he was taking care of his own face, so he bowed his head and thanked him: "Thank you very much, Chief."
The first Taoist priest looked at everyone and said, "Do you still have any proposals to discuss?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a jade chime sounded above the light. Taoist Yusu stood up, made a gesture, and said: "The chief executive, Guo Zhen, the Xuanshou of Yiluo Shangzhou, has been guarding Yiluo Shangzhou for more than seventy years.
For many years, I have followed the old ways and kept to myself.
This person does not abide by the rules of Tianxia, does not promote Taoism, and does not care about people's livelihood. Now compared with other continents, Yiluo Shangzhou is far different, so I propose to take away his position as Xuanshou, and I will ask and reprimand him!"
As soon as he said these words, Taoist Zhong could not help but be surprised. He did not expect that Taoist Yusu would point the finger directly at Yiluo Shangzhou. Although he was aware of the various problems in this continent, he had also spread the word privately in the past, so that Xuanshou Guo
Zhen lets go and lets Zhouzhong improve people's livelihood, at least it won't look so ugly on the surface.
But Guo Zhen paid no attention to it, which made him quite dissatisfied.
But this Shangzhou was the one that supported him and those who worshiped Tao the most, so he had to argue for him, so he stood up and said: "Chief Executive, gentlemen of the court, after the arrival of the turbid tide, the land and land shifted.
In this region, roads are cut off, and all continents are invaded by all kinds of mysterious and strange gods.
The first priority that day was to protect the people of Shangzhou. No matter how we use various means, we should not be criticized harshly. Since Guo Xuanshou finally defended Shangzhou, it was a merit but not a fault. But we should not pursue this matter now.
