Chapter 28 Jade Slips
Xu Disheng lowered his gaze and closed his eyes. That girl... actually allowed him to interrupt his practice and watch the dance. Run your soul power, suppress your emotions, and start absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and the vitality of heaven and earth again.
Suddenly, an announcement sounded outside the palace: "Urgent report! The official messenger of the imperial court is asking to see Lord Zhijun." Xu Qanying was a little surprised. The official messengers of the Chu imperial court have always traveled directly from the central empire to the state capitals. How could they come to you? A small place like Yang County? Xu Disheng opened his eyes and said, "Let him come in."
"Yes. Chuanguanyi messenger."
The official messenger dismounted and walked into the main hall. When he saw everyone looking at him, he raised his head and said without being humble or arrogant: "With instructions from the Taoist Government of Dongqin Prefecture, I will deliver this thing to Xu Disheng, the Xu family of Ruyang County, Youzhou at starry night." After saying that, he took out a small wooden box from his arms. A servant took it and brought it to Xu Disheng. The official courier was a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect the governor to be so young, but he didn't say much. They were the couriers of the official post of the imperial court. Only important objects or orders sent from the imperial court would be escorted by them. Every time They are all well-trained and only responsible to the imperial headquarters.
Xu Disheng gently opened the wooden box. It was an ordinary jade slip, exuding a touch of pure and mysterious energy. He felt relieved and said: "Thank you for your hard work, messenger! Let's take a look!" At the moment, a servant held the silver ends of the tray. Come up. The messenger bowed his hand in a bow without any pretense, thanked him for the reward, and said: "Master Zhijun, please retire."
Xu Disheng nodded slightly, and a trace of mysterious energy came out of his hand, and he probed into the jade slip, and the cold voice of Taoist Qingxin came into his ears. After a long time, Xu Disheng put down the jade slip with a look of shock and fascination. This jade slip contained a huge amount of information!
As expected, Daojun Qingxin went to the East Qinzhou Dao Mansion not long ago, and even told Xu Disheng some extremely secret things. This matter is shocking!
This world is just a small secret realm for mortals of the Shangqing Holy Sect. Xu Disheng already knew something about this. After all, when he became a disciple, Lord Qingxin invited the sect's jade slips and did not deliberately avoid him. At this time, he told him more details! Xu Disheng also felt a little overwhelmed and couldn't suppress it.
The Holy Sect of the Shangqing Dynasty is located in the vast and vast human world. The human realm is the real world. There are three big suns in the sky and three lunar moons at night. The sun and moon rotate, shining for eternity, and remain unchanged forever. The realm of the human world is boundless, there are countless sects and mystical gates, and ordinary people are like the sand of the Ganges River. Therefore, those who cultivate the mystical realm are like the crucian carp crossing the river, innumerable. There is a great demon swallowing up the heaven and earth, occupying one area, splitting mountains and seas. There are also Shinto people who absorb faith, become gods, and protect one party. There are countless spiritual treasures in the world, strange flowers and fruits, and ancient inheritances emerge from the ground and see the light of day again from time to time. The aura of heaven and earth is permeated, and every blade of grass and every flower, if given the chance, can take on the form of a demon and become a real person. There are even legends that there is a heaven above the endless sky, but those legends are too vague and cannot be verified.
Why is this world so hierarchical?
Yan, there are almost no wars, and the Chu court has gathered the power of eleven states in the world to support only a few hundred people in the Taoist government; why is this world so lifeless, with no spiritual beings becoming Taoists, and no evil spirits causing chaos? The rules are incomplete! Because this world is just a small secret realm for mortals from the Shangqing Holy Sect, called the Seventh Mortal Secret Realm Chu Realm! Qingxin Daojun and others are disciples from other mountains. Their cultivation is low and they are all in the Qi Sea Realm. They violated the sect's rules and were punished by the people of the Law Enforcement Hall in the Law Mountain to enter the secret realm and become the Holy Sect. Looking for disciples and searching for resources, if one does not reach the Taoist level, he will never return to the sect.
The Holy Sect of the Shangqing Dynasty has strict rules and regulations. There are eight mountains in total, each with hundreds of peaks and tens of thousands of disciples. Except for the most vast Shangqing Mountain, the other seven mountains are suppressed by seven holy masters. Each holy master has two mountain masters and hundreds of peak masters.
Law Mountain Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for the sentencing and punishment of all Qi Sea Realm disciples in the Eight Mountains. Some were punished to the spirit mines and could return when they were old enough; some were punished to subdue demons and collect resources and could return when they had enough; some were even fined to the sect's prison to make elixirs and medicines for the sect and were not allowed to be free. The worst thing is that people like Qingxin Daojun offended some people and were punished into a secret realm. They were not allowed to return until they entered the Taoist foundation. They were trapped in a mortal secret realm with no freedom at all.
However, there are always exceptions to everything. There are always some monks in the Qi Sea Realm who don't want to stay in the real and cruel human world. They know that they cannot break through because of their limited qualifications, and they don't want to live a life of intrigue and precarity, so they choose to take the initiative to enter the secret realm of mortals. He was drunk and dreaming, singing and dancing every night, and finally died in a secret realm after running out of life. There are many such people in Taoist prefectures in other states.
The real name of the realm of Xiuxuan is not nature or nurture.
The first stage is called the Tongmai stage, which means that the whole body is filled with profound energy and the meridians are connected, and one can be called a profound cultivator. This is a gap in levels. Therefore, the innate martial arts here have no power to resist in front of people in the Taoist mansion in Tongmai Realm or even Qihai Realm.
The second realm, the Qi Sea realm, is the realm where Qingxin Daojun and others are located. Xuan Qi turns into the Qi Sea, forming a cycle of its own, with boundless magical power.
Moving on to the third realm, there is the Taoist realm. Those who can reach this realm must have extraordinary qualifications. A genius selected from thousands of miles can be the master of a peak.
If a banned disciple is found in the secret realm who can practice mystical methods and has the qualifications to enter the spiritual root sequence, he can temporarily accept them on behalf of the sect, and then activate the sect's jade slips and report them to the Wenyuan Mountain Directory Hall.
However, those in the Wenyuan Mountain Directory Hall spend most of their time dealing with the recruitment of disciples in the human world. It often takes decades for the jade slips submitted in these small secret realms to be recorded together. It’s no wonder they are lazy. The disciples recruited in these secret realms must go through the Shangqing Holy Sect’s recruitment procedures in the human realm every once in a while. If they meet the three requirements of mind, understanding, and qualifications, they can be admitted. He was taken out of the secret realm and entered the eighth mountain, Zhuri Mountain, where he was placed in Zhuri Mountain.
After cultivating in various peaks of Rishan Mountain, he became a disciple of the Shangqing Holy Sect and was officially entered into the Directory Hall. The previous jade slips of the sect were not officially entered, but were only reserved for backup observation in case a peerless genius appeared and was missed.
The so-called spiritual root sequence refers to the qualifications for cultivation. Third-grade profound veins and second-grade mysterious veins are just the most common qualifications. First-grade profound veins can barely be considered a genius. There are six levels of spiritual roots, and there are six levels in total. Wait for the spiritual root! Sixth-level spiritual roots are slightly stronger than first-level profound veins, while fifth-level spiritual roots and fourth-level spiritual roots can be called geniuses, and will be valued even among behemoths like the Shangqing Holy Sect. The third-level spiritual root can be called a peerless genius! Every existing third-level spiritual root of the Holy Sect of the Shangqing Dynasty is at the lowest level of the Holy Lord level. His power is involved in creation, and mountains and earth can fall apart with the wave of his hand, and the situation can change with his thoughts.
At this moment, Qingxin Daojun sent a jade slip to him from East Qinzhou, telling Xu Disheng that next year will be the time when the Chu Realm, the seventh secret realm of the Shangqing Holy Sect, will uniformly admit disciples, and all the disciples that the various Taoist governments are looking for have already set off Headed to the Central Empire. At this moment, Xu Disheng and Zhang Keyu were ordered to go to East Qinzhou to join him and go to the Central Imperial State together. If Xu Disheng is able to enter the sect, then his Qingxin Dao Lord as the recommender will also have lower requirements. Previously, he could only escape from the cage at the Dao Base level. Now that he has passed it, as long as he has cultivated to the Qi Sea Peak level, he can Can return to the sect.
Xu Disheng's body was full of profound energy, and he murmured: "The realm of the human world...the three-wheeled sun...the three realms of the Golden Crow?" A memory suddenly flowed out of his mind. In the human realm, above the endless high sky, there is an eternal world. The changed three-wheeled sun is not the real sun, but the 'Three Golden Crow Realms'! What are the three realms of the Golden Crow? There was a sudden sharp pain in the sea of consciousness. Xu Disheng stopped searching for memories, and the blue jade flute's divine light shined, blocking his search.
He stood up and looked at the people who were drinking, singing and dancing. He felt a little sad. From birth to death, they would never know that they were living in a cage. When he was about to walk out of the palace door, he felt a gaze following him. Tilting her head slightly, the girl in red dress sat among the Jin family, her beautiful eyes looking at her intently.
His heart was a little palpitating. Thinking of the Qingshuang sword dance under the moon just now, the boy in white suddenly grinned.
Jin Yu'er felt that the light in the young man's bright eyes seemed to overshadow the moonlight at night, and even overshadowed the brilliant lights in the palace. His calm and smiling eyes instantly became the center of the world, and the whole world seemed to bloom with a smile. Come.
Walking out of the hall, lanterns were dancing all over the sky, and the lights were dim. Xu Disheng looked back at the palace, wrote a short letter on his sleeve, handed it to a guard, gave a few instructions, and then disappeared into the endless night without looking back.
In a trance, someone murmured in a low voice: "Who can understand the center of love, who can detect the fate of destiny. A river is full of sadness, fallen flowers are haggard, a cup of tea, and a sword flying. It is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, but I would rather follow and find the immortal once. , get drunk instead."
