Jiuzhou Pavilion, like Sanqing Pavilion, is a pavilion under the jurisdiction of Jianji Guan Shangguan Zhenshi Hall. In terms of rank, it may be comparable to places of cultivation such as Yuhuang Pavilion, but the positions are completely different.
The Sanqing Pavilion is in charge of Taoist espionage affairs, while the Jiuzhou Pavilion is in charge of the collection of credibility and other matters related to the collection of credibility.
After walking through the empty dense forest for a while, I looked up and saw a solitary peak reaching into the clouds. The word "into the clouds" is by no means a simple description, but actually into the clouds.
When he came to the foot of the mountain and was thinking about how to climb the mountain, he suddenly saw a blur of flowers in front of his eyes, and a figure appeared in front of him very suddenly. Zhao Ran knew that this must be a formation similar to the virtual and solid cave.
In front of me is a female crown, wearing a cyan corseted robe, with some light runes on the robe, which looks like a green floral dress. This female crown has a graceful figure, but is a bit tall, almost catching up with Zhao Ran. Again
Judging from the appearance, she is not gorgeous, but she is also handsome and pleasing to the eye. She seems to be only three to five years older than Zhou Yumo and Rong Niang.
"Is this Guyang County Abbot Zhao in person?" The female crown gave a slight bow and asked.
Zhao Ran didn't dare to blame him. He had just heard Zhuo Yunfeng mention that those who could come and go freely in the Overview were basically people above the Golden Elixir Master. Although the female crown in front of him looked young, she still felt that she was young.
He has a calm demeanor, so he must be Master Jindan.
Therefore, he hurriedly returned the greeting: "It's just the trail, I don't know how to call it?"
The female crown said: "The poor Taoist's legal name is Qingyi."
As a female crown, her name remains anonymous. Zhao Ran can understand, so he said: "I have met Taoist Priest Qingyi. Just now I heard Elder Zhuo say that he asked me to go to Jiuzhou Pavilion. I wonder if Taoist Priest is waiting for Xiaodao?"
The Taoist Priest in Qingyi nodded gently: "My ancestor is waiting for the abbot in the pavilion, please come with me."
Zhao Ran was confused. While thinking about who the grandfather of this girl was, what his relationship was with him, and why he was taking him to the capital, he followed Taoist Priest Qingyi and took a few steps forward.
Suddenly, the black and white in front of my eyes changed. When I looked again, I was already on the top of the peak. The stars were bright in the sky, and there was a sea of clouds under my feet. A few dozen feet away, standing at the highest point of the peak, there was a magnificent hall.
Zhao Ran followed Qing Yi to the front of the main hall, and saw the words "Jiuzhou Pavilion" written on the horizontal plaque of the main hall.
Entering the pavilion, I felt dazzled. The center of the hall was about an acre in diameter, and the surrounding area was divided into nine floors. On each floor, countless bronze dragon heads protruded densely. Each dragon head was connected with a long copper pipe and a dragon head behind it.
The balconies are connected.
These countless dragon heads are gently exhaling traces of light blue breath from their mouths. These breaths gather into a large cauldron suspended in the air in the middle, condense into liquid in the cauldron, and then form a liquid from the cauldron.
The green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu four-phase mythical beasts from all directions flowed from their mouths and dripped into a blue pool below.
Looking at the surrounding nine-story platform, each dragon-headed copper pipe has a place name engraved on its base. In the area around Zhao Ran, there are about dozens of dragon-headed copper pipes, each with the words "Chunhua, Jurong" engraved on it.
These should be the counties under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Prefecture in the capital, as well as the towns where Taoist temples have been established. Looking next to them are the counties in Yangzhou, and the surrounding areas must be the locations of Yingtian Prefecture.
On each floor, there is a monk, holding a scroll in his left hand and a pen in his right hand, checking and recording back and forth.
Zhao Ran was in a daze when he heard Taoist Priest Qing Yi whisper, "Abbott, please follow me," so he followed her closely and walked toward the center of the hall.
Under the big four-sided cauldron hanging in the middle, there is a blue pool with a radius of three feet. There is a white marble railing around the pool. A Taoist with gray hair is sitting on the railing, one leg is stepping on the railing, and the other is stretched diagonally on the railing.
Above the pool water, a cloth shoe was hanging from half of the sole of his foot, swinging back and forth.
Zhao Ran's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he was very worried that the cloth shoe would be thrown into the pool at any time, staining the blue and clear jade water.
When they reached the front, the Taoist finally slipped down from the railing, stood in front of Zhao Ran, and said with a smile: "Little Taoist, why don't you come?"
Zhao Ran stared at the gray-bearded old man with wide eyes. His mind was suddenly a little confused. He was stunned for a moment and then said: "Zhang Laodao, after nine years of separation, you are wearing these clothes... you are finally willing to take a shower..."
…”
Who is this person if it’s not Zhang Laodao who cleaned the toilets with Zhao Ran nine years ago at the back of Wujiyuan?
"You brat!" Zhang Laodao laughed and cursed, and said: "I heard that you have been doing well in the past few years. You are both a temple priest and abbot. You have been promoted very quickly. Not only did you wander into the jungles of Shifang, but you also sneaked into the pavilion.
I worshiped under Jiang Tenghe's door, it's good, it shows that I have a good taste and a sharp eye to recognize jade, hehe."
Zhao Ran looked at the surrounding environment and then at the old Taoist in front of him. He felt as if he was in a dream and murmured: "Zhang Laodao, am I not dreaming? Why did you come to the General View?"
Zhang Laodao turned to look at the pool and said, "Let me see if the pool is full. Little Taoist priest, do you know where this is?"
Zhao Ran: "Jiuzhou Pavilion..."
Zhang Laodao smiled: "It seems that no one has told you yet. That's right. You have just entered the Zongguan Mountain Gate..." He pointed at the big square cauldron above his head and said: "This is the Jiuzhou Fangyuan cauldron." He pointed again.
Blue Pool: "This is the Pool of Faith."
Zhao Ran had already had a premonition when he came in. With Zhang Laodao's advice, he finally confirmed that he was attracted by the Jiuzhou Fangyuan Cauldron and the Faith Pond. He looked at everything in front of him in a trance, and thought that this is how faith is transformed.
, it’s really amazing.
Curiosity aroused, I turned around again and looked around at the nine-story platform to search carefully.
Zhang Laodao casually pointed to the southwest corner: "The area on the eighth floor is all from Sichuan. Do you want to go up and have a look?"
Of course Zhao Ran wanted to take a look. He tiptoed, jumped to the edge of the stage, jumped upwards, and then gently used his hands to turn directly onto the eight-foot-high tower.
After walking more than ten steps to the left along the balcony, I immediately saw a bunch of familiar place names: "Jiangyou, Pingwu, Shiquan, Guyang." Below Guyang County, I saw "Junshan" and "Longshan" again.
of words.
The dragon-head copper pipe in Guyang County should be from Wujiyuan. There are two more copper pipes in Junshan and Longshan below. These three copper pipes will transmit all the trust in Guyang County and collect them.
Enter the Kyushu Fangyuan Cauldron.
Maybe he knew what Zhao Ran was thinking, so Zhang Laodao, who was beside the pool in the audience, reminded him: "You can reach out and try." Although they were far apart, the words sounded as if they were in his ears.
The copper pipe was about ten feet long. Zhao Ran walked to the edge of the stage, hooked the body of the pipe with one hand, and stretched the other hand to the mouth of the pipe. He felt a cool breeze blowing out from the mouth of the pipe and blowing straight to ten feet.
The outer Kyushu Fangyuan Ding.
It turns out that after working hard for so many years, my confidence in achievement looks like this.
