Under the command of Lingquanzi, everyone in Tiangangtang successfully blew up Cimut Fort, and then returned to Wugo Mountain to leave the city. After Zhang Yuelu's injury improved, they set off for the Western Region Taoist House in Daxue Mountain, and then they would leave from
Yaochi in Daxue Mountain returned to Yujing by flying boat.
After this battle, everyone's impressions of Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu were greatly changed.
Zhang Yuelu took the lead. He clearly had the highest position and the highest realm, but he was the most seriously injured. No one could say otherwise.
Qi Xuansu also proved himself. Although he was only a seventh-level Taoist priest at the Kunlun stage, he killed the demon leader with one sword. This was witnessed by the head of Lingquan, and Arthur from the Holy Court testified. After Shangguan Dun
After the translation was publicized, everyone already knew it.
For a time, Qi Xuansu's reputation reversed. He was no longer a pretty boy who rose to power through nepotism in the eyes of the public, but a stranger with real abilities. As for how to "differentiate" the method, no one saw Qi Xuansu kill Di with his own eyes.
Swain, you can only imagine.
Arthur has completed his mission and will return to the Holy Palace to resume his duties. Today he came here specifically to say goodbye to everyone in the Taoist sect.
Although it was Qi Xuansu who successfully killed Diswein, Arthur also played an important role. If he hadn't used himself as a bait to make Diswein accidentally take the "higher black blood", the outcome would have been unpredictable.
In fact, the killing of Diswine cannot be entirely attributed to one person, but is the result of the collaborative efforts of the entire team, including many Taoist priests. If they had not vented the Yin Qi and blocked the Earth Qi, the Reifno clan would have been destroyed.
Illusions cannot be used, and it is difficult to successfully exterminate this group of criminals.
Because they had fought side by side, everyone in the Taoist sect had a good impression of the head bishop of the Holy Court, and they all sent Arthur off.
Arthur finally said goodbye to Qi Xuansu alone. After all, during this period of time, apart from Ellie, Qi Xuansu communicated with him the most, and the two of them still had some things in common.
"Qi, if you go to the Western Continent in the future, remember to come find me." Arthur handed an address to Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu put it away solemnly: "Definitely."
Arthur left Ugoshanli and embarked on his return journey.
Just three days after Arthur left, everyone in the Taoist sect also left Wugoshanli and went to the Snow Mountain Palace.
Before leaving, Zhang Yuelu left the ultimatum of a fifth-grade Taoist priest to Aili as agreed, and took Shangguan Dun away with him.
Shangguan suddenly got his wish and was promised the birthplace of a ninth-grade Taoist priest. He was overjoyed and had no regrets at all.
At the same time, Zhang Yuelu also sent a message to Mu Jin, telling them not to come to Wu Ge Shan Li again, but to stay on standby at the Daxue Mountain Palace and wait.
Wait for them to go and meet.
Compared to the solemn atmosphere when they arrived, everyone in the Taoist sect was in a good mood on their way back. Galloping on the vast Gobi desert, even if the road was still blocked by wind and snow, they could still feel a bit like walking in the snow.
Zhang Yuelu's injury has recovered. He is wearing a cloak and hood and galloping at the front, looking very cool.
Qi Xuansu is slightly behind her by half a horse's head, but not as free and easy as Zhang Yuelu. Zhang Yuelu, like Qiniang, has always said that drinking is drinking and errands are errands. The task of summarizing the incident in writing still falls on Qi Xuansu.
, which made Qi Xuansu very distressed.
It is true that the Wanxiang Taoist Palace did teach how to write official documents back then, but after so many years, Qi Xuansu is still quite proficient in swords and fire, but he doesn't write much. He has almost forgotten it. Now he wants to pick it up again, which is a bit worrying.
, so Qi Xuansu took advantage of the time he was on the road to start drafting early.
Xizhou from Wugoshanli to Daxuan belongs to the category of the Western Regions.
In the Western Region, there is mostly Gobi Desert, and there are oases and cities in it, forming a scene of numerous countries. Take Ugoshanli as an example, it can be said to be a city or a country. If you count it,
The area of the desert and Gobi is roughly equivalent to the area of a prefecture in the Central Plains. However, if the desert and Gobi are excluded, it is equivalent to the area of a county.
The only exception is the Daxue Mountain in the north, which was called White Mountain in ancient times. It has snow in winter and summer, so it is called Daxue Mountain. The Jinzhu people call it Zheluoman Mountain, which is 21,900 feet high, about 5,000 miles long, and about 600 miles wide.
Here, the highest peak is Tomur Peak, and the Snow Mountain Palace is located under this peak.
The group of people spent more than a month walking through the vast Gobi desert, and finally a city appeared in sight. This was the former poison-donating country, one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Region.
Speaking of the countries in the Western Regions, it is more appropriate to describe them as grassroots. When the Central Plains Dynasty was at its peak, the countries in the Western Regions surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty. The Central Plains Dynasty also established the Western Regions Protectorate, Anxi Protectorate, and Beiting Protectorate in the Western Regions.
When the Central Plains Dynasty weakened, the countries in the Western Regions surrendered to the Golden Horde and respected the Golden Horde Khan.
In the second year of Shenjue's reign, the Dudu Kingdom was placed under the jurisdiction of the Western Regions Governor's Palace. During the Empress' period, it was under the jurisdiction of the Shule Governor's Palace. Later, only half of the Jin Dynasty was left, and all the Western Regions were lost, and it was ruled by the Golden Horde.
In the late Wei Dynasty, the imperial court was too busy taking care of itself that even Liangzhou, the gateway to the Western Regions, was lost.
, not to mention the countries in the Western Regions, so all the countries in the Western Regions surrendered to the Golden Horde. However, due to the internal strife in the Royal Court, the Golden Horde's control over the countries in the Western Regions was also greatly weakened, and the countries in the Western Regions went their own way.
, coupled with the fact that many Golden Horde nobles fled into the Western Regions to avoid the disaster of war, the Western Regions became increasingly mixed and chaotic.
It was not until the Daxuan imperial court regained Xizhou that the Xiandu country returned to the jurisdiction of the Central Plains imperial court and the Xiandu county was established.
The Daxue Mountains and Kunlun meet in the country of donating drugs. Kunlun is dark in color, and the Daxue Mountains are in red. There is a poem that says: The yellow sand is boundless for thousands of miles, and the Gobi is vast and endures the severe cold. The red mountains are clearly powerful, and the two mountains meet in the sky.
It was late August when everyone left Yujing. After 50 days of traveling and a journey of more than 10,000 miles, it was already early October when they arrived in Ziandu County, and winter had officially entered.
Everyone is tired of the journey, and it doesn’t matter if it’s windy, snowy or cold. People who are born with no disease can still bear it. The key is that many people are almost vomiting after taking the "Qingjun Pills".
Part of the rations, including the "March Pills", were not eaten. After the "March Pills" were used up, I could only eat some dry food that was as cold as a stone. It really made a bird appear in my mouth.
So Zhang Yuelu decided to rest in Ziandu County for a few days before setting off for the Daxue Mountain Palace.
The group of people entered the county town, but did not attract much attention. After all, this place is not far from the Snow Mountain Palace, and it is considered the core sphere of influence of the Taoist government in the Western Regions. Because people from the Taoist sect often pass by here, the city also has a post station that functions as a post station. Taoist temple.
The owner of the Taoist temple is named Xu Huiqian, a seventh-grade Taoist priest. He is holding a cup of hot tea and sipping it. After winter, the weather is freezing, but the temple is directly under the Snow Mountain Palace, and there is plenty of charcoal, firewood, and money, and the room is very hot. warm.
At this moment, a young ninth-grade Taoist priest pushed open the door and came in, reporting: "Master, there are people here, several dozen in number."
"Dozens of numbers? Could it be that Tiangang Hall has sent someone here again? What's going on this year? The Shamans are not done dancing yet?" Xu Huiqian hurriedly put down the tea bowl in his hand, got up and went out to greet him.
When Xu Huiqian came out of the gate of the Taoist temple, he saw dozens of people and horses, all wearing uniform cloaks and riding horses with the logo of the Kunlun Taoist Temple. Who was coming from the Tiangang Hall if not Tiangang Hall?
Xu Huiqian glanced at it, and when he was thinking about who was in charge, he heard a young man say: "Master, we are Taoist priests of Tiangang Hall. We are going to the Daxue Mountain Palace. Please arrange a place for us to stay and prepare some more." Eat.”
Hearing the words "Tiangang Hall", Xu Huiqian secretly thought that he was really disappointed
Having guessed correctly, he hurriedly said: "It's my job."
The young man said again: "This is our Deputy Hall Master Zhang and Master Lingquan. Both of them are Taoist priests of the fourth grade wine ceremony. Master, don't be negligent."
Xu Huiqian was shocked, the deputy head of Tiangang Hall? Two deputy heads of Tiangang Hall have already gone to the Taoist House of the Western Regions, and now there is another one? Is it possible that there will be an all-out war with shamanism?
Thinking of this, Xu Huiqian looked in the direction pointed by the young man. One was an older, middle-aged Taoist priest, and the other was a young woman. He took it for granted that the middle-aged Taoist man was the deputy hall master, and the young woman was mostly the resident. If he had the skills, he saluted Lingquanzi and said, "I have met Deputy Hall Master Zhang." Then he saluted Zhang Yuelu and said, "I have met Master Lingquan."
At this moment, everyone laughed out loud, even Lingquanzi had a smile on his face.
Zhang Yuelu had no intention of correcting him, but just ordered: "Deacon Qi, please help make arrangements."
In front of outsiders, the two still addressed each other by title. And for some unknown reason, Zhang Yuelu had to leave everything to Qi Xuansu, as if he was used to it and was not used to using others. In the eyes of others, I just feel that the relationship between the deputy hall master and Deacon Qi is very unusual.
Qi Xuansu was used to being manipulated by Qiniangzhi, so he didn't think anything of it and agreed casually.
After that, Zhang Yuelu and others entered the Taoist temple. Qi Xuansu stayed behind and explained to Xu Huiqian: "Master, the girl just now is Deputy Hall Master Zhang. You have mistaken the person."
Xu Huiqian said "Ah!" "There is such a young deputy hall master."
Qi Xuansu said: "Our deputy hall master was born in the Zhang family of the Qing Dynasty. He is a fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priest. He was just appointed by the rotating Taoist priest as the deputy hall master of Tiangang Hall not long ago."
Xu Huiqian's heart trembled when he heard that the Zhang family of Shangqing Mansion was appointed by the great master in rotation. At such an age, he really has a bright future, and he is afraid that he will have a place in Jinque in the future.
He suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, secretly wondering if he had just offended the deputy hall master.
Qi Xuansu saw what Xu Huiqian was thinking and reassured: "Deputy Hall Master Zhang is not a stingy person and will not care about this. The temple master should arrange a place to stay earlier. This time, in addition to two fourth-grade wine-offering Taoist priests, we also have a sixth-grade Taoist priest." Taoist priests, the rest are all seventh-grade Taoist priests, it’s best to follow the specifications.”
Xu Huiqian quickly cheered up and wrote it down carefully, for fear of making any mistakes.
After Qi Xuansu finished explaining, Xu Huiqian called on the people in the Taoist temple to arrange accommodation for everyone.
