Chapter 151 Yuanchen Mountain

Senior Brother Sun is kind and pleasant to speak, and Li Qingyun is also very interested. While listening to the introduction, he toured Yuanchen Shanfudi.

This world is really not big, and it is essentially similar to the dojo established by Duan Kecheng. It relies on immortal methods and Taoism, and combines various concepts of "gap", "illusion", "magic circle" and "magic weapon" to create a building. Stable different-dimensional space.It really can't be called a 'day', let alone the world.

This is a bottle, um, a place in a pot.Similar to Xanadu, a safe place to avoid disaster.

The mortals living here live a self-sufficient small-scale peasant life, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, which has the meaning of a pastoral picture scroll and a land of abundance.

However, the ancestors have been born in this square inch for generations, and have never seen the world outside, let alone any technological breakthroughs and innovations. The overall life is still that of the feudal era, pastoral life.

After all, objectively, there are no conditions for climbing the technology tree and developing civilization.

Not to mention natural mineral deposits in this place, there are not even stars, sun and moon.

These beautiful mountains, rivers, and scenery are essentially magical illusions.

There are mountains, water, and people, but that's all.

Even if you go towards the sunrise, go to the end, cross all the mountains, and the mountains behind the mountains, never look back, and never go out.

Only once, again, again and again, around the terrain of Yuanchen Mountain, and finally back to the original point.

Because this is originally a pot, a well, and a space with boundaries.

The stage is arranged, the pasture is circled, and the snakes are attached to each other, they can only return to the original Möbius strip.

Yes, it is more appropriate to call it a 'cage' or a 'sheepfold' rather than a 'world'.

But what's wrong with 'The Cage'?
Most people, throughout their lives, can't escape the company that imprisoned them, isn't this huge cage?

What's more, there is literally nothing outside the cage.

What's more, the Taishang Dao Sect, the Taoist orthodox way of the eight classics, and the Xuelu God Sect are both in the herdsmen, but there are still some differences in the specifics.

Penglai kept these hundreds of thousands and millions of people in bottles and jars one by one, not to feed them to 'lambs'.

It's for 'kindling'.

This is also Sun Chuantao, a disciple of the Taishang Xuanzhen Sect, who is not in Penglai to practice qi, make alchemy and make treasures.

In short, it is to multiply mortals, test the spiritual roots of aptitude, select talented Taoists, and cultivate them carefully, so as to develop junior talents for the sect.

To put it bluntly, it is recruiting new people.

Although it may seem inconspicuous, no matter which organization you are in, recruiting new recruits is considered a serious epic-level main task.There are rewards and grade points, and all disciples have to do it sooner or later.

Naturally, Senior Brother Sun had nothing to hide, so he acted as a guide and led Li Qingyun directly to the Xuanzhen Temple located on Yuntai Peak of Yunchen Mountain to watch his disciples teach.

Hundreds of monks are meditating in the mountains, studying arithmetic, refining alchemy and medicine, and refining their skills. The crowds are crowded and it is very lively.

Seeing that they were boxing and practicing body, and cultivating immortality and energy, for a moment Li Pan even thought that he had come to some kind of college.

Sun Chuantao is not without pride,
"My Yuanchen Mountain has 26 households and a population of 120 million. Once every ten years, there is a general election for the mountain, and thousands of people who are sincerely interested in Taoism can be selected.

The roots of the third rank, the talents of the ninth rank, no matter how many people are selected, dozens of people can always be selected, and they will be taken as boys and carefully trained.

So among this group of boys, as long as there are those who study hard and are talented, they will be able to 'refine and transform Qi' and achieve the golden elixir realm.

At that time, there will be a Yuntai Grand Competition, and finally the top three most exciting and beautiful will be selected.

In this way, the three outstanding people selected from among the 120 million people are the well-deserved Taoists, who can enter the outer gate of my Taishang Xuanzhen Palace, go out to the foot of Penglai Mountain, and comprehend the Dao. "

Li Qingyun swallowed, "120 million people... can only choose three Taoists?"

Brother Sun smiled and corrected,
"It's the Dao species. The outer disciples of my Taoist sect can't be called Daozi. They just have the aptitude and foundation to get the Dao, but it depends on whether they have the destiny to get the Dao.

Therefore, outsiders, in addition to practicing my orthodox method of Xuanmen, they also have to travel to the heavens, try their skills together with their fellow Taoists, survive disasters, eliminate demons and defend the way.

Only real people who can survive the thunder disaster and form a baby can enter the inner sect, pass on the true blood of the three mountains, and leave their names on the Penglai Jade Bi.

Only then can I call myself the Daozi of the Nine True Ways.

I am ashamed to say that I have been selected in such a way, but actually only two of the three Qing generation juniors in my Xuanzhen Palace were trained in this way.There is another person, who actually committed a murder during the crusade against the Demon Sect, and was reincarnated from the previous generation's soldiers. "

Li Qingyun was stunned when he heard it, and he calculated three points silently in his heart, and gradually understood.

There are 100 million people in a jar, and only three Dao species are selected, and it may not necessarily be that there are only three Dao species. The main reason is that there are limited cultivation resources outside.

Even if there are three Dao species, compared to 0791, 100 billion people can't make up a hundred Dao species, and the output of Yuanchen Mountain is at least three hundred times that of that side.

What's more, in the Taishang Xuanzhen Palace outside, there must be dozens or even hundreds of jars, which means hundreds of millions of people.

And with a population of hundreds of millions, each Jiazi must select hundreds of seeds of enlightenment and outer disciples for Xuanzhenzong.

Counting the disciples from the other sects of the Taishang Jiuzhen Sect, there would be thousands of disciples from the outer sects in each session.

Among the thousands of monks, only fifteen were admitted, and they became the disciples of the Taishang Jiuzhenzong, the inner disciples of the Qing generation, and the Penglai Daoist.

It's too curly...

Before Li Qingyun could sigh and praise Penglai's breeding technology, Sun Chuantao directly led him into the Taoist Palace and sat in a self-study room full of calculation papers.

"Haha, the younger brother came just in time, now that the selection of the Qing generation is over, we have to prepare for the next class of disciples to enter the examination.

Now it's time for my Yuanchen Mountain to hold a general election. This year, 10 people will come to test our Xuanzhen sect. I'm judging the papers, and I heard that my junior brother is coming to visit.

One more person, one more effort, come, I asked someone to prepare herbal tea with preserved fruit, and we will chat while judging the papers. "

Li Qingyun, "10 people came to take the exam...huh? Let's?"

I thought about it for a while.No wonder you are so enthusiastic to invite your junior brother to visit, it turns out that it is a coolie!
But Li Qingyun also wanted to ask Senior Brother Sun about the refining method of this blessed land, but he was too embarrassed to shirk it, so he was dragged by Sun Chuantao and approved more than 3000 papers before giving him an excuse to escape to the toilet and exercise his legs and muscles. Slipped out of the barrier, quickly opened his eyes, and returned to the body from the hell of infinite papers.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, Li Pan let out a long sigh.

"Mr. Li, you yelled so loudly just now, did you have a nightmare?"

Li Pan turned his head and saw that beside the bed was a woman in formal attire, black silk high-heeled, with the gold emblem of the NCPA Metropolitan Police Department on her chest and the brand of a first-level investigator of the First Search Section, black-rimmed glasses, and her blonde hair pulled back. ……Huh?It turned out to be Angela Ragan?

Good guy, this bitch has only been working for a few months!Did he get involved in the investigation class?Riding on a rocket?What do you mean there are people above!In two years, will he be the police chief?
"It turned out to be the Regan police department, we meet again."

The other party looked down at him condescendingly, "Manager Li, have we met?"

Hey, although he didn't have a face when we met for the first time, I probably met him once at the hospital gate later!Tsk, it's true that nobles forget things too much...

Li Pan didn't change his expression either.
"Understood. You are a big celebrity in NCPA. You are so busy with shows every day. Why bother you with a little traffic accident."

The policewoman looked at him and flipped over the signboard of the first search section.

The police of the first search class are on the lookout, Erin Reagan,

"You mistook the person, Angela is my niece."

Hiss... the police are looking forward! The head of the NCPA Police Headquarters Search Section [-]!

Well... The ninth generation of the Regen family sent someone, really didn't just talk about it... huh?Wait, niece?Then does she still have the attributes of a sister-in-law?From this point of view, she is more mature and charming than Angela.

Li Pan was still in a daze, while Police Officer Lei Gen waved his hand and projected the NCHK news.

"Besides, this is not a traffic accident. The shuttle you were traveling on had a nuclear explosion in the center of Night City. Do you have anything to explain?"

NCHK and other news stations are broadcasting live images of the nuclear explosion in a loop.

Although I don't know whether the colorful-faced man carried a self-destructing nuclear bomb with him, or bought a BRW series prosthetic body with a built-in nuclear furnace, but this nuclear explosion is basically equivalent to a small-yield tactical nuclear warhead, and the direct damage radius is within ten kilometers.

Moreover, although this attack took place in a densely populated city center, the nuclear explosion occurred on the high-altitude shuttle flight path, and the casualties directly caused by the nuclear explosion were not large, except that the shuttle near the explosion point was vaporized, and the shock wave and electromagnetic waves made half of the city Almost paralyzed.

The main cause of casualties was that when the colorful man fought with Li Xuehong before, he suddenly raised his hand and swept out the load-bearing walls of three skyscrapers. causing the building to collapse completely.

Those skyscrapers are all integrated buildings in office areas, residential buildings, and commercial areas. They completely collapsed and destroyed an unknown number of viaduct residential areas. The traffic in the city center was completely paralyzed, and the city center was in ruins. .

The number of casualties reported by NCHC and various private hospitals has risen to 16, and the number of reported deaths is still rising.

In addition, it was not cockroaches who died this time. Most of them were civilians who paid taxes, and there were not a few company dogs. Many companies reported losses, and someone had to be responsible.

Li Pan will not take the blame,

"You have to ask the Paradise Group about this. The car was prepared by them, and I am also a victim. But if the trouble is so big, the Security Bureau should be responsible for it?"

Police Ragen was looking at him, silent for a while, and said,

"Do you think they don't want to, but Manager Li, you have a lot of face. Two groups of people from the Security Bureau came to block you at the door and rob you. It's not an option to waste this time, so I asked me to represent the Metropolitan Police Department and make a record first.

But speaking of which, don't you have any augmentation implants?It's really rare.Are you a naturalist? "

Li Pan also noticed that he has fully recovered now, and it should be reset by the company for him.But this also means that the whole body prosthetic brain plug is cleared again and again.

Although he lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, it may have saved his life.Otherwise, when he lost consciousness just now, someone might have had his brain removed again, and the chip record that could be used as legal evidence was taken away.

But now that he is a flesh man, with no chips or monitoring all over his body, his value will naturally be greatly reduced.

Hmm... so it seems that clearing the plug-in is also beneficial...

"It's the company's patented technology. I have no right to disclose it. Please send an inquiry letter to the legal counsel for confirmation."

Naturally, it is impossible for Li Pan to compete with this kind of nine-generation policeman, so he just fulfilled his duty as a citizen, honestly took notes, and provided information to NCPA.

Anyway, he is indeed innocent, a victim!It was someone who violated the traffic regulations and rushed over to another car, beat him half to death, and then exploded dozens of streets like a madman, killing even his blood god clone, what can he do?Who can he talk to?
And if Li Pan's guess is correct, the Paradise Group must have internal monitoring. After all, the floating car was not captured by hackers, or the door was pried open and blown open by someone.

There must be full monitoring in the shuttle. If such a big event happened, Heaven would definitely not want to take the blame for compensation. It should have already gotten through with the Security Bureau.Otherwise, these people probably wouldn't be so polite to Li Pan.He was also asked to lie on the bed and find a beautiful police officer to record his statement.

"So do you have any enemies?"

Li Pan, "Chi Tiangou, it's them attacking again this time, isn't it?"

Police officer Lei Gen was looking at him, "Manager Li, is your company engaged in a corporate war?"

Li Pan still said, "It's the company's business strategy. I have no right to disclose it. Please send an inquiry letter to the legal counsel for confirmation."

Lei Gen also looked indifferent. Obviously, as the person in charge of the first search section, she had not been dealing with the company for a day or two. She knew that she would not be able to ask any questions.

Then a group of Security Bureau agents in black suits poured in. He had seen many of them, such as Agent T of the Third Security Division, the Director of the Fourth Counterintelligence Division, and black and white agents of the Seventh Economic Crime Division.There are also some that have not been seen before, such as the fifth investigation branch in charge of criminal crimes, the sixth investigation branch in biohazard, and the agents of the ninth investigation branch in charge of network security.

With Superintendent Lei Gen's previous reminder, Li Pan also saw that the Security Bureau is actually two distinct groups of people.

A group of people are naturally headed everywhere, and the director personally stepped out.After all, cases like the nuclear explosion in the city center are basically only done by the "Chitiangou". Li Pan, please come to the bureau to speak.

But the [-]rd, [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th divisions hold different opinions, is it obvious? Chitiangou or something, it’s fine to broadcast it in the news, it’s okay to fool outsiders, don’t fool yourself too.

After all, the technical level of this attack is too high, not only the existence of the seventh-level bionics with built-in tactical nuclear bombs without registration from the Security Bureau, but also the existence of three buildings with one shot, and the alloy-grade load-bearing walls of the hull. The super weapon system for individual soldiers, as well as the floating vehicle that remains invisible all the way under the monitoring of the security system and the traffic system, are all technologies that are completely beyond the capabilities of the local indigenous people.

In other words, this is clearly a corporate war.

Therefore, they just want to talk to Li Pan about cooperation, such as controlling the scale and battlefield of the company's war in the capital of night, or preferably outside the earth.

As for the Seven Departments, they came in to make soy sauce, because they have been watching Li Pan recently and found that his account flow has fluctuated abnormally in recent months.

Ah, an account that is on the verge of bankruptcy with a debt of 30 yuan has reached 86 billion in assets in three months!Isn't that a joke?You can't write such nonsense in business war novels!

So black and white agents came in because they wanted to investigate tax evasion and anti-money laundering, so they also supported inviting Li Pan back to assist in the investigation...

So Li Pan didn't have any personal grievances towards the three, five, six, nine, or even the four divisions, but he didn't have a good face towards the seven divisions.

Come on, other people are doing business with the public, and your seventh office is targeting him personally!The tax bureau doesn't care about him, it's none of your security bureau's business!Just because I ate a lot of hamburger meat last time, I stared at him!

Fortunately, Ah Qi also squeezed in among the crowd, and then used his robotic prosthetic body to directly connect to the head office's legal affairs to attend.

Facts have proved that it is still useful for a large company to spend money to support a bunch of legal counselors. The legal counselors are impeccable. Failed to drag Li Pan into the bureau to eat pork chop rice, so he had to return disappointed.

Ah Qi sent away the Security Bureau, and also helped Li Pan complete the discharge procedures,

"Boss, everyone else arrived at the company safely. In addition, the Paradise Group sent an official announcement to the head office, shared the video record of your attack, and admitted that the assassin was a privileged member, but due to the concealment of his identity during the attack, and the nuclear explosion destroyed Even though the vehicle-mounted EDR was installed, they could not find any specific information. However, they also promised not to participate in any hostile activities against the company within one year, and signed a truce agreement.

As a private compensation, Heaven is willing to extend your exclusive membership and medical insurance for another three months, and they will also bear the cost of treatment this time. "

Well, to put it bluntly, when he was in a coma, the head offices of the two sides discussed it. The Paradise Group promised not to participate in the bidding and compensate some medical expenses. Even if this incident is over, what else can Li Pan say.

"Is that so... Oh, I have to buy a car..."

Before, he hid in the Paradise Hotel to prepare a big plan, just to be greedy for the other party's security, and take a presidential suite by the way.But if the colorful-faced assassin can swagger on the highway and open the door to kill someone, he can also go straight to your hotel bedroom and shoot you in the head.

It seems that things such as cars and boats really can’t be saved. It’s really convenient to take a taxi, and it’s really easy to ride a car, but other people also have access rights, so there’s not even a prior warning.

If you set up an ICE system yourself, although you may be hacked in, at least you can have a defense, so you won't be caught off guard.

And... a one-year truce...

"It's so simple to let heaven go, so what is the judgment of the headquarters?"

Ah Qi nodded, "The holy grail bidding war has officially begun, boss."
