The Governor of Shuzhou is located at the end of the nine major governors. Most of the other governors are in charge of two states. Only the Governor of Shuzhou is in charge of one state. One is because Shuzhou has a vast area. In addition to being slightly smaller than Xizhou,
Far better than other states, and in terms of population, Shuzhou is far better than Xizhou. Secondly, before the world is in chaos, Shu will be in chaos. The world has been settled and Shu has not been settled. This place is also connected to the southern border, and the chieftains often get into trouble, so
The imperial court specially appointed a governor here.
The governor-general is in charge of military and political power, and under him are the governor in charge of civil affairs and the admiral-general military affairs officer in charge of military affairs. Under the admiral-general military affairs officer is the garrison chief military officer.
Looking at the entire Shu Prefecture, there are a total of four garrison general officers, namely the Shuzhong Chief Military Officer, the Jianmen Chief Military Officer, the Jinxiu Chief Military Officer, and the Southern Xinjiang Chief Military Officer.
The ranks of the four major garrison generals are the same, but the order of their orders is different.
Among them, the Chief Military Officer of Southern Xinjiang is mainly responsible for guarding against the rebellion of chieftains in various places. He has the largest number of soldiers under his command and is also the most elite, ranking first. Jinxiu Mansion is the capital of Shuzhou, and the General Military Officer of Jinxiu ranks second. Jiangefu Jianmenguan is the gateway to Shuzhou.
, the location is dangerous, so the chief military officer of Jianmen is ranked third, and the chief military officer of Shuzhong can only occupy a certain position.
Speaking of Shuzhong Mansion, there is also a Quanzhen Taoist family here, the Tang family.
This is a rather special family. Compared with the Yao family, the Pei family, and the Qi family, it is slightly better than the Shangguan family, the Xu family, and the Ji family. It is somewhere in between, and the Tang family is very low-key.
, rarely leave the territory of Shuzhou.
Similar to this situation, there is another Zhang family. This Zhang family is not the Taoist Zhang, one of the three major families in the world, but is inherited from the lineage of Zhang Suqing, the chief minister of the previous dynasty.
The Tang family is more low-key. Even when the Zixian Mountain case happened at their doorstep, they never came forward. Zhang Jiaoling joined Quanzhen Taoism. The Zhang family did not rush to join the sect with Zhang Jiaoling. They were like a hermit, so the world said
The Zhang family generally refers to the prestigious Zhengyi Zhang family. If two Zhang families are distinguished, the Zhang family of Zhang Yuelu is generally called the Shangqing Zhang family, and the Zhang family is called the Jiangling Zhang family.
Although the Wanshou Chongyang Palace is located in Qinzhou, Shuzhou is the foundation of Quanzhen Taoism. In addition to the Tang family, the Qi family and the Ji family have also lived in Shuzhou for generations. There are two mountains in Shuzhou, one is Tiancang Mountain, which is the capital of Shuzhou.
The prefectural government is where the Ji family has lived for generations. One is Shushan, with emerald green clouds and daisy-like eyebrows. They are thin and long, beautiful and gorgeous. It is also called Emei. It is originally the Buddha
The four famous mountains of the sect are places where Buddhism and Taoism are mixed. After the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, they were taken under the name of the Taoism sect and are where the Qi family has lived for generations.
On the contrary, the Pei family is a bit different. Their ancestral home is in Qizhou, and they are close neighbors with the Li family. They should be from the Taiping Tao, but by various chances and coincidences, they became a member of the Quanzhen Tao. However, it is reasonable.
It is true that it is easy to enjoy the shade under a big tree, but no tree can grow under a big tree. If you stay away from the big tree of the Li family, you can actually grow to a higher level.
This is where the situation of Quanzhen Tao is complicated. There is no such thing as the Zhang family of the Zhengdao or the Li family of Taiping Dao. They are scattered and scattered, each with their own calculations. It is difficult to integrate and the internal friction is serious. As a result, Quanzhen Tao has nothing.
Strong strength, but was overwhelmed by Taiping Dao. In other words, Quanzhen Dao can still maintain this framework when it is stationary and defensive. But when it really decides to move, it turns from defense to offense, even like Taiping Dao.
If we attack from all sides, the situation will be difficult to predict. At least the senior officials of Quanzhen Taoism do not have this confidence.
Qi Xuansu did some homework before coming to Shuzhou. He did not rush to Shuzhong Mansion, but went to Qingcheng of Tiancang Mountain first.
This is the location of Shuzhou Daofu.
Qi Xuansu went to Shuzhou Taoist Mansion, of course, not to find Qi Jiaozheng, the master in charge, to break up the affairs of the Qi family, but to see Taoist Ji. Qi Xuansu remembered that Taoist Ji, who was kind to him, said that he was in Shuzhou Taoist Mansion
There are only nine deputy palace masters in total for the position of deputy palace master, so it should not be difficult to find one.
Qi Xuansu walked against the wind and saw thousands of acres of bamboo forest in the distance like a sea. When the autumn wind passed by, the bamboo sea swayed with the wind like thousands of blue waves.
If it is summer, the bamboo sea is as cool as early autumn, without any heat. Now that it is late autumn, the bamboo sea is a bit cool.
This bamboo sea belongs to Tiancang Mountain. Because the bamboo forest is evergreen all year round, and Tiancang Mountain is surrounded by peaks, it looks like a city, so it is called "Qingcheng".
To be fair, all Dao Palaces and Dao Palaces in Dao Sect are never the same, but each has its own style, and they are all located in beautiful places. Just walking around each Dao Palace and Dao Palace in Dao Sect is an excellent tour.
experience.
Qi Xuansu walked along the way, from the Taiping Palace on Taiping Mountain to the Daxue Mountain Palace, from the Qing Palace on Yunjin Mountain to the Wuxu Palace in Xijing Prefecture, from the Summer Palace in Beimang Mountain to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace in Longmen Prefecture, and then from the Wanshou Chongyang Palace in Difeishan Mountain to the Heavenly Palace.
Cangshan Qingcheng, the scenery you see is unique.
The institutions of the Taiping Palace, the white snow of the Daxue Mountain Palace, the cliffs of Yunjin Mountain, the distant view of the Summer Palace, the upper palace of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, even the formations of the Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and the bamboo forest of Qingcheng all left a deep memory for Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu did not dare to fly directly into Qingcheng, but fell back to the ground early and hiked up the mountain.
A spiritual officer checked his identity, but when he saw that Qi Xuansu was dressed as a Taoist priest of the fourth grade offering wine, they were very polite. When Qi Xuansu showed the ultimatum, he knew that Qi Xuansu was not only a member of Quanzhen Taoism, but also from Ziweitang, the head of the Jiutang.
, was even more polite. After learning about Qi Xuansu's intention, he even personally led Qi Xuansu. This made Qi Xuansu sigh that he had not been treated like this when he went to Luzhou Daofu and Zhongzhou Daofu in the past.
Under the guidance of two spiritual officials, Qi Xuansu arrived at the outskirts of Qingcheng.
The core of Shuzhou Daofu is called Shangqing Palace - there are four Shangqing palaces in total in Daomen, namely Shangqing Palace on Jin'ao Peak in Taiqing Mountain in Langya Prefecture in Qizhou, Shangqing Palace on Qionglin Peak in Yunjin Mountain in Wuzhou Shangqing Palace, and Qingcheng Palace in Tiancang Mountain in Shuzhou
Shangqing Palace, Shangqing Palace on Cuiyun Peak in Mang Mountain, North of Longmen Prefecture.
The most famous one is of course Shangqing Palace in Yunjin Mountain, so when mentioning Tiancang Mountain in Shuzhou Taoist Prefecture, Shangqing Palace is usually not mentioned, only Qingcheng in Tiancang Mountain.
Shangqing Palace is where the real person in charge of the palace is located. The deputy palace masters are scattered around Qingcheng with Shangqing Palace as the center. Ji Daoren is only in name, and often travels around, and does not take care of much, so his residence is far away from Shangqing Palace, located in Qingcheng.
The outskirts of the city are very simple and made of local materials. The whole building is made of green bamboo, almost blending in with the surrounding bamboo forest.
Qi Xuansu was lucky. Taoist Ji did not go out for a wander today, but stayed in Qingcheng, Tiancang Mountain.
After the Lingguan informed him, Taoist Ji did not put on airs and went out to greet him personally.
"The ancients said that when people see each other after three days, they should look at each other with admiration. The last time I saw Brother Qi, Brother Qi was still at the stage of Yuxu. Now that I see you again, Brother Qi has already become a heavenly being. He is progressing so fast.
, Zhang, Yao, and Li Zhiliu are nothing more than this." Taoist Ji said with a smile.
There are many people in the Taoist sect who are indifferent to fame and fortune, but there are almost no people who don't even care about realm cultivation. After all, the fundamental purpose of the Taoist sect is to seek immortality. If you don't even want immortality, it would be too indifferent. The same is true for Taoist Ji.
, he didn’t care much that Qi Xuansu had been promoted to the fourth level of Taoist priest, but he was surprised by how quickly Qi Xuansu’s cultivation level improved.
Qi Xuansu said humbly: "First, I followed Qingxiao. I benefited a lot and had some chance encounters. Later, I went to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to further my studies. Under the earnest guidance of Master Sun, I became a heavenly being."
"This is Uncle Sun from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. He is an old man of the 'He' generation and a loyal elder." Taoist Ji nodded and said, "Brother Qi is indeed lucky to have the teachings of Uncle Sun."
Daoren Ji invited Qi Xuansu into the main hall of the bamboo building. Although the bamboo building looks simple from the outside, it is the residence of the deputy hall master after all. It is not just Daoren Ji who is here alone, but also his subordinates, so the interior is really
It has been carefully polished. Not only is it not shabby, but it has an air of tranquility.
A Taoist priest brought tea to the two of them.
Qi Xuansu said: "I feel ashamed to say that I have known Senior Ji for a long time and received many favors from Senior Ji. I still don't know Senior Ji's name."
Ji Daoren smiled and said: "Since I call Mr. Sun Master Master, and I am a member of Quanzhen Taoism, it is natural that I have the word 'jiao'. My name is Ji Jiaozhen, and Quanzhen Zhen is just 'jiao Zhen' and 'Jiao Zhen'."
The word "real" has a homophonic sound. Ever since I was a child, my brothers and friends have often used these two words to make fun of me. As time went by, I stopped mentioning them very much."
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and turned to say: "I heard that Zhao Fu'an, the commander-in-chief of Shuzhong, had an arm broken when he left Baidi City. In addition, someone visited me when I was recuperating in Huasheng Hall.
I."
While talking, Qi Xuansu took out two small wine gourds from the Xumi objects. The word "Ji" was written in seal script on the gourds.
Ji Jiaozhen did not deny it, and said with a smile: "It's a small effort, not worth mentioning."
Qi Xuansu said sternly: "For Senior Ji, it is just a simple effort, but for me, Qi Xuansu, it is a deep feeling of kindness. It is always easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right."
