Immortality is above

Chapter 132 Chapter 131: Taking office

Shanbei Domain, Baiyue County, within Gaohua City.

It was still snowing heavily and the roads were icy and slippery, making it difficult to travel.

A caravan was braving the wind and snow, crushing the thick ice, and meandering.

They were riding the famous local "Baiyue Horse", which is good at climbing mountains and wading, and can withstand wind and cold; the cart was not pulled by horses, but by strong white-hoofed mountain oxen, all covered with fur, as if they were wearing thick clothing. Clothing, not afraid of ice and snow.

In the middle of the team, Chen Liubai, wearing a bamboo hat, was riding on a rouge horse. He suddenly stretched out his hand and caught a piece of falling snow, and then used Dharma to feel the breath in the snow.

There is a little bit of spiritual energy on it, which is so thin that it can almost be ignored.

According to the seventh senior brother Mo Xuanyi, one of the methods used by the Taoist spirit detectors to measure the changes in the concentration of spiritual energy in the world is to use natural phenomena such as falling rain, snow, fog and dew, and then calculate them to obtain result.

Chen Liubai didn't understand those calculation methods, but he directly used the thought of Dharma to feel it, and he could see one or two things if he saw the specks in the tube.

The conclusion is obvious: the situation in Shanbei Region is not optimistic.

According to his original idea, the ideal situation would be to return to the mountain immediately, and then be handed down the secret of the method after becoming a god, which is the true inheritance of the third stage of "refining the god and returning to the void".

Mo Xuanyi was worried that Chen Liubai would think too much, so he offered words of comfort.

This made Chen Liubai smell the meaning of "the end of the Dharma".

As soon as Chen Liubai came back, he was captured as a "strong man". Before Shanmen could even go back, he came to Gaohua City to teach.

In order to fight against the "End Law", the major immortal sects jointly established a Taoist court and formulated relevant countermeasures, which was exactly the "overall situation" mentioned by Mo Xuanyi.

From Mo Xuanyi's description, Chen Liubai sensed some of the difficulties encountered by Shanmen.

As for the reason, there are also speculations.

We can learn from the past. After all, thousands of years ago, Zhao State and other places were originally part of the Daqian Immortal Dynasty. It was only later that the spiritual veins were cut off and the spiritual energy disappeared, so they were abandoned.

Of course, for the entire Immortal Dynasty, the Shanbei Territory belongs to the wild border, and the aura of heaven and earth is inherently weak.

He quickly took on the new identity of "Gaohua City Edict", and by reading the files compiled by Mo Xuanyi, he gained some understanding of the situation in Gaohua City.

He had no way to come into contact with the situation in the past, but now he has successfully transformed into a god, stepped across the threshold, and entered a brand new world, thus gaining new knowledge and understanding.

As long as this momentum continues to decline, in a hundred years, this deserted land may become a soulless land and become a new "Zhao Kingdom".

Whether this is a test or a temper, just accept it.

However, Chen Liubai did not know the specific situation of the "overall situation". Even Mo Xuanyi was not qualified to participate, but obeyed the dispatch arrangement and served as the wine sacrificer.

From the perspective of history, from a macro perspective, it can be called the real "turbulence of heaven and earth."

It’s just that that’s not what the elder Shanmen meant.

Within the jurisdiction of Baiyue County, there are five prefectural cities, and the situation in each prefectural city is different.

This is an underestimation of Chen Liubai. After experiencing so many things, his state of mind is by no means superficial. Even if it cannot be called "indifferent to favor and disgrace", he will not easily "worry about gains and losses."

Among them, Gaohua City is relatively complicated due to its remote location, mountains and rivers, and dangerous landscapes.

In the local area, heretical practices are prevalent: raising ghosts, spreading poison, casting curses, driving corpses, hunting spirits... There are many kinds of things, and various mountain forces are intertwined and fighting openly and secretly.

It is a headache to manage a place like this. Therefore, teaching in Gaohua City basically lasts only a short time, sometimes three years, sometimes only a few months.

Now it is Chen Liubai's turn to take office.

Although he did not choose the place himself, as Mo Xuanyi said, the elders of Shanmen have their own "deep meaning."

This sounds very much like the tone of a magic stick, but what is certain is: the elder is by no means a magic stick, that is enough, no need to think too much.

Chen Liubai's character is like this. Unless he doesn't do something, once he does it, he must do it properly and neatly.

He was alone, so he specially found this team called "Runfeng Trading Company", paid money to join the team, and traveled together.

The reason is simply that I want to take this opportunity to learn more about the situation in Gaohua City.

After all, the records in the dossier are "obtained on paper", and many things require practice.

The leader of the caravan, whose surname was "Tan", was talkative. He told Chen Liubai a lot about the customs and customs of Gaohua City, as well as various taboo matters.

For example, when they were doing business and passing through different places, they had to hang up different flags with different statues of gods embroidered on them as signs. They also placed incense burners under the flags, lit incense, and sprinkled various amounts of incense. Such as copper coins, etc., to express "respect".

Also known as "travel money".

These are all etiquette.

If the etiquette is not good enough, the road will not be smooth and various disasters will occur, ranging from injury and illness to death...

From these narratives, Chen Liubai heard a strong incense and Shinto meaning, which was in line with the heretical ideas of the Dharma.

Shinto and immortality are not the same thing, but there are many entanglements and overlaps between the two.

From the establishment of the Taoist court, and the enshrining of various land and mountain gods in this name, it is obvious that they want to follow the line of "one united front" and gather as much power as possible to jointly resist the erosion of "the end of the law".

The final results were indeed achieved, but at the same time, many problems and chaos also emerged, so we managed and developed at the same time...

Unknowingly, after taking on the role of a teaching edict, Chen Liubai began to try to look at the problem from the perspective of the Taoist court.

This is exactly what Mo Xuanyi wants to see. He feels that Chen Liubai's temperament is too chivalrous and not stable enough, and it is easy to cause trouble.

Or, did the elders of Shanmen also have this consideration, so they put Chen Liubai in a complex place like Gaohua City to polish it?

……

In the afternoon, the caravan stopped by a large river.

Although it is freezing cold, the river named "Takata River" shows no signs of freezing, and the water flow is gurgling and rapid.

After crossing the river, you will find Gaohua City on the other side.

However, before crossing the river, they had to do some etiquette as usual to see if the river god here allowed them to pass safely.

The results showed: no problem.

So everyone started to herd their horses and horses to the boat, and crossed the river by boat, trying to get into the city before dark. After completing this arduous journey, they could have a good rest.

When the ferry set sail, as soon as it reached the center of the river, there was a sudden strong wind and waves swept up.

The waves were like flowers blooming on the river, and they surrounded a huge ferry boat, making it impossible to move forward.
