Chapter 175 Kunlun Dao Mansion

After Huangfu Ji witnessed a little shock of the "Heavenly Court", he returned to Tianfu Palace with Qi Xuansu, and the two also talked about the topic of "suffering".

Qi Xuansu expressed his own views. The Taoist sect advocates frugality and pays attention to grassroots experience, which can probably be regarded as the category of hard work. Hard work and suffering are only one word apart and should not be confused.

Suffering is suffering. It is neither noble nor humble. It is an objective reality.

We should not forget the lessons brought by suffering, but we should not be obsessed with suffering itself. ??

This is a bit metaphysical. If the Taoist and Western Taoist scholars are asked to elaborate in detail, they can write a long masterpiece.

Huangfu Ji quickly shifted his mind to maritime trade. The reason why the Taoist sect is prosperous in maritime trade is inseparable from tolerance and openness, while the southern continent is generally conservative and has no conditions to open up. Therefore, except for the military industry, development is difficult and relies heavily on the assistance of the Taoist sect.

Each generation has its own responsibilities and missions.

The generation of Tan Tai Zhen Xiao still regards fighting against the steam gospel and striving for independence as their primary goal.

How to find a development path suitable for the Southern Continent and open up a new era is what Huangfu Ji's generation needs to consider.

Qi Xuansu's proposition is bold innovation, equal mutual assistance, and harmonious development. This is more in line with the needs of Huangfu Ji and the Southern Continent than the other three people, so the friendship between Huangfu Ji and Qi Xuansu is not as simple as it seems on the surface, but has profound practical significance.

Especially the "equality" and "harmony" in the last eight words are particularly important to Huangfu Ji.

If Li Changge comes to power and intervenes too strongly in the internal affairs of Xidaomen and the Southern Continent, it will easily cause the two sides to become enemies. This also has a very profound practical significance.

In fact, when you choose a team position, friends and enemies are also determined.

This is reality.

This has little to do with what kind of character Qi Xuansu is.

Huangfu Ji's frequent gestures of goodwill have invisibly boosted Qi Xuansu's momentum. Although the West Dao Sect cannot interfere with Jinque's major decisions, it does not mean that the Dao Sect can completely ignore the West Dao Sect's attitude. Such a huge size is there, and its existence itself can change the situation. Just like a mountain, even if the mountain does nothing, it can still permanently change the environment of a place.

When the interests of both parties converge, both of them are willing to maintain and even develop this relationship, and their personal relationship will naturally be good.

When the two returned to Tianfu Palace, Zhang Yuelu also brought Xiao Yin back - Lin Yuanmiao has not been as concerned about Xiao Yin as before recently, and mainly hangs out with Ji Jiaozhen

and Pei Xiaolou, drinking and fishing for whales, feeling very comfortable. Of course, Lin Yuanmiao would not say this, he would only say that Xiao Yin should focus on studying and not laugh all day long.

Qi Xuansu invited Huangfu Ji to a family dinner in his personal name.

This has nothing to do with official business, it is mainly to consolidate personal friendship.

The family dinner is attended by four people, Qi Xuansu's family of three plus Huangfu Ji.

Xiao Yin is not a shy child, but a child who has seen the world. The three Yin creatures have watched her grow up. Lao Lin is her good friend. Qingwei Zhenren, who had not yet become an immortal, personally gave her the status of a fourth-grade Taoist priest. She also fought with Wu Guangbi and Sun Heyu, who were all pseudo-immortals. Huangfu Ji is also a pseudo-immortal, which is no big deal.

Huangfu Ji likes Xiao Yin very much. He is a radical and a bold person. Naturally, he likes bold children. Xiao Yin's performance is very much to his taste. If she is timid and shrinking, he will certainly not hate her, but he will never like her.

At the banquet, Zhang Yuelu talked about some of Xiao Yin's deeds, such as her heroic performance against Sun Heyu, rushing up to hug Sun Heyu's thigh and biting it, and then being stabbed in the mouth by Sun Heyu, and sacrificing herself to block the cannon for Qi Xuansu, and catching Li Tianzhen with a keen eye, etc.

This is not counting the things that the goddesses will do.

Huangfu Ji finally knew that Xiao Yin was not Qi Xuansu's biological daughter, but he also understood why Qi Xuansu liked Xiao Yin so much. If it were him, it would be the same.

Huangfu Ji was very generous and gave Xiao Yin a gift. He would not leave any handle on the surface. This gift was not valuable but rare. It was a seal ring.

In the past, Western dignitaries had to carry seals with them wherever they went. However, they were always afraid of losing the seals when they carried them with them, and since they represented power and status, they had to show them. For this reason, they put the seals on their hands, and later they gradually evolved into the form of rings. Compared with ordinary rings, seals replaced the position of inlaid gems.

This seal ring came from a cardinal deacon of the Steam Gospel, who died in Huangfu Ji's hands. Huangfu Ji was not interested in other things, but only left this seal ring. The pattern of the seal came from an ancient family that had lasted for thousands of years. Westerners call this heraldry.

In general, it is very memorable.

If it were other children, they might not be interested in such things. But Xiao Yin is different. As the saying goes, "A red man is red when he is near a red man, a black man is black when he is near a black man."

She has already understood the importance of power through what she has seen and heard. She knows how to decline and give up power three times when playing house. If power is embodied in an object, it must be a seal. The "Chuan Guo Xi" is also a large seal.

Xiao Yin looked at the seal ring from left to right and was very happy. She changed her name to "Old Emperor" on the spot.

Because Xiao Yin's hands were small and she couldn't wear a ring, she found a thin thread to string it up and hung it around her neck as a pendant. It can be predicted that some places in Tianfu Palace and Sheji Palace and Huo Palace will soon have some inexplicable stamp marks, which is equivalent to "visiting here".

A family banquet was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.

Although Huangfu Ji wanted to walk around Nanyang and take a look, the schedule did not allow it, and the time did not allow it. He had to go to Yujing. There, the national teacher who was the rotating great immortal was waiting, as well as the three crown princes of the Taoist sect and the Jinque Canzhi immortals were also waiting.

Qi Xuansu couldn't stay in Borneo for too long, so he had to accompany Huangfu Ji to Yujing. After all, his main task this time was to report on his work, not to go home to visit his relatives. ??

On the morning of the third day, Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji returned to Shenglong Mansion. After saying goodbye to everyone, they led the delegation to take the "Sun Boat" and slowly ascended into the sky.

Qi Xuansu and Huangfu Ji stood on the deck, overlooking the vast mountains and rivers below.

Qi Xuansu leaned against the railing and sighed, "Wealth and honor are what people desire, but if they are not obtained by the right way, they will not stay."

Huangfu Ji stared deeply at Borneo and murmured to himself, "How can it be considered as obtaining it by the right way?"

Since the consecutive incidents of the flying boat and the "Yinglong" falling, the Taoist sect has attached great importance to the safety of the delegation. All the Taoist prefectures along the way have sent flying boats for alert and escort.

Huangfu Ji was not very interested in these inland Taoist prefectures and just stayed there briefly.

Although these Taoist prefectures are important, they have different functions and are not as good as those coastal Taoist prefectures in terms of economy.

Now Huangfu Ji is still considering the future development of the South Continent. He must start from the coastal Taoist prefectures. Huangfu Ji plans to go to Zhongzhou Taoist prefecture, Qizhou Taoist prefecture, Jiangnan Taoist prefecture and other places after the trip to Yujing. Zhongzhou Taoist prefecture is where the Wanxiang Taoist Palace is located. It mainly visits and learns about the talent reserve construction of the Taoist sect. Qizhou Taoist prefecture and Jiangnan Taoist prefecture are both coastal Taoist prefectures. Like the Borneo Taoist prefecture, they are also one of the economic pillars of the Taoist sect.

The "Sun Boat" entered the territory of Kunlun Daofu safely.

This is the most special Daofu, and one of its main functions is to protect Yujing from all aspects and levels.

Many secondary functions, such as diverting the excess population of Yujing, are well known to all. Yujing is the city of Taoists, and these Taoists also have families. Not every Taoist can settle down in Yujing, and most of the Taoists are settled in Kunlun Daofu. Kunlun Daofu is also a famous "ghost prison", where a large number of high-level Taoists who have been caught by the sky serve their sentences, build Taoist temples, and build wonders.

The "Sun Boat" also stayed briefly in Kunlun Daofu, mainly to transfer the prisoner Du Juanzhi.

Li Wuji, the head of Kunlun Daofu, personally received the Xidaomen group.

Li Wuji, born in the Taiping Dao Li family, belongs to the "You" generation of "Chang You Tianming". The "You" character is really difficult to name. Li Youdao and Li Youxin are not bad, but Li Youcai and Li Youfu are inevitably a bit too down-to-earth, which is inconsistent with the identity of a Taoist master.

After Qingwei Zhenren changed his name to Li Wugui, many Li family members followed suit and changed their names. This made many Li family elders very dissatisfied. What kind of words is this! Chang You Tianming became Chang Wu Tianming. Isn't this a curse on the Li family?

Unfortunately, Qingwei Zhenren is a heretic. He insists on doing so, and others can't do anything.

Speaking of Li Wuji, this is a senior generation of the Li family. Li Changge's situation is only a minority after all. Most of the backbone forces are of the "Tian" generation, and there are really not many people of the "You" generation. When the old people like the national teacher pass away, they are the highest level of the Li family.

Because the Li family's foreign policy is bound to squeeze the autonomy of the West Dao Sect, which is inconsistent with Huangfu Ji's interests, so Huangfu Ji and Li Wuji, two people with "Ji" in their names, are only polite on the surface, but in fact there is not much to talk about. The position is there, and it is unrealistic for the Li family to change temporarily.

Even if Huangfu Ji wants to talk, he must find the more unorthodox Qingwei Zhenren to talk, which is more likely.

Regarding the visit, the scenery of Kunlun is of course excellent. In addition, there is the newly built Weicheng. Maybe it is not appropriate to call it Weicheng. It should be called the mother and child city. Yujing is the mother city, and these are the child cities.

There is a white jade capital in the sky, with twelve floors and five cities. The Dao Sect plans to build five child cities, named after the five legendary five elders, namely the Eastern Qing Emperor Qingling Shi Lao, the Western White Emperor Haoling Huang Lao, the Southern Red Emperor Danling Zhen Lao, the Northern Black Emperor Wuling Xuan Lao, and the Central Yellow Emperor Xuanling Huang Lao. If they were called Qingdi City or Baidi City directly, it would be a bit cliché, so the Dao sect took one character from each city and named them Qingshi City, Haohuang City, Danzhen City, Wuxuan City

, and Xuanhuang City.

Now Xuanhuang City, Haohuang City, and Qingshi City have been completed, and Danzhen City is under construction. The headquarters of Kunlun Daofu is located in Xuanhuang City.
