Taiping Inn

The Qingyang Altar of the Qingyang Sect was originally in Qinzhou. Since the situation in Xijing became unstable, Tang Zhou left the Qingyang Altar in Qinzhou and went to the Baiyang Altar at the junction of Jingzhou and Shuzhou. Therefore, Baidi City replaced the original Qingyang Altar as the main altar of the entire Qingyang Sect.

Baidi City is strategically located, surrounded by water on three sides and a mountain on one side, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. When Gongsun occupied Shu and became the king, he entered this place. There was a White Crane Well in the city, and white gas often gushed out of the well, just like a white dragon. Gongsun took this as the "White Emperor" and renamed the city Baidi City.

The highest point in Baidi City is Yong'an Mountain, where you can easily see the situation outside the city, which is very suitable for supervising and commanding. The famous Shu Kingdom's first lord died of illness here, leaving behind the eternal story of entrusting his orphan to Baidi City. Today, Yong'an Palace has become the main altar of the Qingyang Sect and Tang Zhou's residence. Now Tang Zhou is not in Baidi City, but everything in Baidi City remains the same. To outsiders, there is nothing unusual inside and outside Baidi City.

Baidi City is located in Yuzhou Prefecture, at the junction of Shuzhou and Jingzhou. There are two ways to go from Xijing to Baidi City. One way is to go directly to Yuzhou Prefecture, and the other way is to go to Jinguan Prefecture first and then transfer to Yuzhou Prefecture.

Now a large number of people from Wudao Sect are gathering in Jinguan Prefecture, so after the palace officials passed Qinzhong Prefecture, they decided to go to Jinguan Prefecture first and then to Yuzhou Prefecture.

Jinguan Prefecture is the capital of Shuzhou, also known as Furong City and Tianfu. It is also the most prosperous place in the entire southwest, comparable to Jinling Prefecture in Jiangnan.

The three offices and the governor's office of Shuzhou are also in Jinguan Prefecture, but since the fall of Shuzhou, these places have become the offices of Northwest Zhou.

Speaking of the relationship between Northwest Zhou and Wudao Sect, it is similar to the relationship between the Wei court and Confucianism. The two are highly overlapped, but not completely the same. Many people hold two positions, such as Song Fuchen, who is both the Pojun King of the Wudao Sect and the commander of the army in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Tan Taiyun is both the leader of the Wudao Sect and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the early days when the Earth Master and the Holy King had not yet broken up, the Earth Master also served in the Great Zhou Dynasty, holding the three positions of Grand Master, National Master, and Prime Minister. He established a government and even all political affairs were handled by the Earth Master, and only the sacrifices were given to the Holy King. This also led to a complete break between the Holy King and the Earth Master. After the Earth Master left, Zuo Zunzhe took over as Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is different from the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. The Prime Minister has the power to open a government and govern affairs. He can check and balance the king and command all officials. In terms of power alone, he is roughly equivalent to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet and the eunuch who holds the seal of the Silijian, that is, the sum of the external and internal prime ministers, and only then is he the real Prime Minister.

However, the palace official did not hold a position in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, including Hall Master Fan and Elder Feng, so the group did not enter the Sansi Yamen and the Governor's Yamen, but came to a mansion set up by the Wudao Sect in Jinguan Mansion.

As spring was coming to an end and summer was approaching, the rain gradually increased. There were several banana trees in the yard, and the rain fell on the banana leaves, making a sound, which was quite interesting. Li Xuandu, who was treated as a distinguished guest, stood by the bed with his hands behind his back, looking at the banana trees in the yard, stunned.

Then the palace official walked into the yard with a paper umbrella. After closing the umbrella, he asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Li Xuandu came back to his senses and said, "Back then, Wu Hou crossed the Lu River in May and went deep into the barren land. In the blink of an eye, it is almost May."

The palace official said, "The Yuxu Sword Fight is scheduled for the Zhongyuan Festival on July 15th. At most, there are less than three months left."

Li Xuandu's expression was slightly heavy.

The palace official looked at the sky and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk? There are many beautiful views in Jinguan Mansion."

Li Xuandu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, if you think about it carefully, this is my first time to Jinguan Mansion."

The palace official smiled and said, "Of course, how old are you and you want to travel around the world? There are always places you haven't been to."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard shouting and fighting outside the courtyard. Li Xuandu looked at the palace official with a little doubt. The palace official smiled cunningly and said, "Let's watch a good show first."

After that, she went out first.

Li Xuandu hesitated for a moment and followed him out.

When Li Xuandu followed the sound, he saw that in an open training ground, several Wudao Sect disciples were fighting in one place, and the palace official was watching with a smile holding an umbrella. Li Xuandu thought that these Wudao Sect disciples were just ordinary competitions, but when he looked closely, these people had some intention of fighting to the death. When he fought with Li Taiyi on the Wangxian Terrace, it was just like this.

Li Xuandu glanced at the palace official and had a guess in his mind. It was probably because of the palace official's instigation. Young and energetic men always have no brains in front of the beautiful women they like, and they can't stand provocation.

The palace official looked back at Li Xuandu and saw that he looked indifferent. He came to his side and explained, "These people are not very capable but they are not small-minded. They are always thinking about getting a beautiful woman. I see that they are so idle all day, so I will find something for them to do. At least they can improve their cultivation, which is better than being jealous all day."

Li Xuandu said neither good nor bad, but just said, "Be careful not to cause a death."

The palace official smiled and said, "I have sent someone to notify Elder Feng. Elder Feng will come over later. These people will not be able to escape. They will have to face the wall and reflect on their mistakes. Then I can have peace."

Li Xuandu laughed, "No wonder some people call you a witch. You put all your thoughts on this."

"That's right." The palace official didn't take it as an offense. "Miss Qin and I are both from the Ten Sects. Why do others call her Miss Qin, and I am a witch? If Miss Qin encounters such a thing, how will she deal with it?"

Li Xuandu thought about it carefully and said, "Maybe he would tell me first. If he didn't listen, he would just do it. If he could beat him, he would beat him. If he couldn't beat him, he would have someone to stand up for her. But to be fair, his father-in-law's favor for her , well known to the world, so few people dare to be rude to her. At least I never encountered such a situation when I went to Liaodong."

Gong Guan said, "It's a pity that I don't have such a father, and I can help me with everything, so I can't be Miss Gong."

Li Xuan suddenly remembered something and said, "A long time ago, Su Su asked me if she looked very much like Zhang Baiyue. I replied, "I don't look like it, I don't look like it at all."

The palace official smiled and said, "Zi Mansion means I don't look like Sister Qin at all."

Li Xuandu said, "There are many people who say that I am like a senior brother and a master, but in fact I am no one, I am Li Xuandu. If I just learn from my master and like my master, how can I have the same me today? Yan It is said: "The Master is step by step, and the Master is also step by step, and the Master is also rushing; the Master is running away from the dust, but he is as imminent as the back. "Although this is a praise for the most sage and the master, you can just learn it. How about it? Can you surpass your predecessors? If I am like Li Yuanying, imitating my master everywhere, my master will not have to be free and easy. As long as I go, I will not be able to keep up, because that is not my path, but my path."

When the palace official heard Li Xuandu say this, he couldn't help but say, "It's such a big tone. Only you can say this. If it were someone else, if you can't learn it, how can you talk about going your own way?"

While the two of them were talking, they left the place and came to the city.

In fact, Li Xuan followed his old habits and had already circled around the city as soon as he entered the city. He was familiar with the approximate terrain, but the kind of quick-throwing flowers naturally could not be compared with the real tour. The two went to Wu first. Hou Temple, in fact, the original name of this place is the Temple of the First Lord. At the earliest times, the Wuhou Temple and the First Lord Temple were separated. However, Wuhou’s reputation was too great and almost a saint. Therefore, the Wuhou Temple was incense rich and the First Lord Temple was deserted. The Shu King of this dynasty ordered the Wuhou Temple to be the first. The main temple was merged and became a sacrificial ceremony between the king and the minister, but the people still called the Wuhou Temple, rather than the First Lord Temple.

Li Xuandu was full of respect for Wu Hou and respected him for staying first. Therefore, he first worshiped the first lord, and then worshiped the Marquis of Wu, and then left the Marquis of Wu.

After leaving the Wuhou Temple, the two of them walked slowly along the river bank. Suddenly, they saw a three-story pavilion not far away, with flying eaves and tiles, and windows on them. They stood on it, and could see the river water.

When the two of them came to the front of the building, they saw two extremely wide long signs hanging on the pillar in front of the door, with a long couplet engraved on it, each with a hundred words.

The palace official obviously came here and asked, "Zi Mansion, have you heard of a very famous long couplet on the Wangjiang Tower?"

Li Xuandu nodded, "I've heard of it."

The palace official pointed, "That's it."

Li Xuandu walked closer and recited the first couplet: "There are several floors supporting the east and west peaks alone, and the water and mountains are close to the water and the distance to Zhang's paintings. Gathering the snow on the mountain, scattering the smoke of the white river, baking the elixir scenery, dyeing the fog of green clothes. Sometimes the poet The ancients are often the best. The most pitiful flower stalks are floating, and the spring boudoir mirror has been buried. The Kaiba is lonely, leaving the green and fragrant grave in the sky. I feel mixed with emotion about this. I smile at the butterfly, and I am always intoxicated in my dreams. Try to shout from the top: Ask, who is the family of this half river moon?"

The palace official asked, "Zifu, what are the sentences in the first couplet do you like the most?"

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "It's too sad. I don't have such a state of mind, and I don't want to have such a state of mind."

The palace official smiled slightly and recited the second couplet: "Thousands of years of events have been changed to Xichuan Bureau, and they have all the great works of great works, pretending to be heroes. The dragon leaps on the hill, the phoenix dies in front of the slope, the tiger lie down at the gate, and the frog sings at the well. Suddenly, the iron horse and golden sword, suddenly Silver phoenix and jade flute. It is better to sing long songs and short poems, throw away some idle hatred and sadness. The curved threshold and corridor can be used to absorb the wind and rain. I am frowning, and I have no return from all over the world. I jumped to death and finally fell into the trap of the universe . Let’s look at the dangerous ladder: Look at that cloud is my heaven.”

Li Xuandu said softly: "The world has not been chaotic, Shu has been chaotic first, and the world has been settled and Shu has not been settled."

The palace official sighed: "Even if it is an iron horse and golden sword, it is full of energy, or it is a musical song, and it is a timely musical, and it is a life of drunkenness and dream of death. In the end, it is all the past."

Li Xuandu said, "I don't know who wrote this long couplet, but when he was writing this long couplet, there was obviously a Wangjiang Tower for him to live in. He could still be better than long songs and short poems and sings. Some idle hatred and sadness. The curved corridor can absorb the wind and rain. 'I can still complain here, but the starving people have no tiles on them and no food in their stomachs. Which cloud is there? Their God? Officials, you and I are not born into high-ranking families, and we should not forget our own origins. The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road. If we are those who starve to death, freeze to death, and die from war. Innocent people, how do we feel when we see this couplet?”
