Chapter 141: Double First-Class

On this very special festival, a "Yinglong" flying boat appeared in the sky above the imperial capital.

The Shenshu Imperial Guards and Tianchen Division had received the news in advance, and immediately lifted the alert and opened the array portal to let the "Yinglong" warship land.

In fact, "Yinglong" can also hover in the air all the time, but it is easy to make people think that Taoism is above the court, which is not conducive to the unity of Taoism and the court.

In principle, don't do things that are not conducive to unity.

So the huge "Yinglong" slowly descended towards Penglai Pond.

If it was just a light rain when the flying boat landed, then when "Yinglong" landed, the huge water vapor it carried was a heavy rain. Because the weather was very cold at this time, the heavy rain eventually turned into a heavy snowfall, and countless snowflakes were seen flying in the air, swaying unsteadily, adding a bit of fairy air.

It happened that it just snowed yesterday, and it was really rime, and the sky, clouds, mountains and water were all white. This scene is like a fairyland.

At this time, the southeast square of the Penglai Pond had been completely blocked. The spiritual officials of the Imperial Capital Daofu, the Qingluan Guards of the Imperial Army Duwei Mansion, and the black-clothed people of the Shenshu Camp were all on guard at the periphery, while the Taoist priests of the Imperial Capital Daofu and the celestial beings of the Tianchen Division were on guard at the inner periphery.

Those closest to the shore of the Hu River were all big figures. The first was Qin Quanyi, the King of Jin, who represented His Majesty the Emperor. The leaders of the royal kings were the King of Liao, the King of Jin, and the King of Qi. The King of Liao was not in the Imperial Capital, and the King of Qi was old and had little to do with worldly affairs, so the King of Jin was the leader.

Then there was Zhang Qingbai, the second assistant of the cabinet and the Grand Secretary of the Jinshen Palace, as well as Li Ruoshui, the head of the Imperial Capital Daofu, Zhou Jiaoxian, the chief deputy master of the palace, Shi Bingyun, the second deputy master of the palace, and other deputy masters above the level of a real person. All the real people were dressed in crane cloaks and wore lotus crowns that symbolized the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priests.

Next came a group of young people, around 20 to 30 years old, with lower status than the "old guys" in front, but with prominent family backgrounds and promising futures. In addition to the two princes and a young duke, there were Li Changge, Zhang Yuelu, and Yao Pei from the Taoist sect.

Further back were many accompanying personnel. These people, if taken individually, were also well-known people in the Imperial Capital, and even big figures in the eyes of many people, but here, they were "indistinguishable from the crowd".

Qi Xuansu was not classified among the ranks of young talents, but mixed in with many accompanying personnel, probably because of her insufficient family background. Although Zhang Yuelu was from a small clan, that was only for internal use. To the outside world, she was from the Shangqing Zhang family, one of only three families in the world.

At this time, everyone looked up at the "Yinglong" that was landing.

The wind and snow were blowing in their faces, and the huge air waves made everyone's clothes and cloaks rustle.

No one went to block the wind and snow, and everyone still kept looking up.

Finally, the huge "Yinglong" successfully landed in the Penglai Pool, breaking through the ice and snow, raising waves of green waves, spreading out in layers around, and the water mist and snow mist were indistinguishable from each other.

After the "Yinglong" completely stopped, the surface of the Penglai Pool could not even be seen. This huge warship that looked like a giant beast was like a city. Standing in front of it was like facing a city wall. Only when you were far away could you see the whole picture.

A gangway that was a bit too long was lowered, and a figure appeared on the deck.

Everyone was solemn.

Because he was a first-class innocent Taoist priest, a Pingzhang Dazhenren, and even a person of immortality, a real immortal in the world.

This Pingzhang Dazhenren wore a black crane cloak, a wisdom sword, and a purple gold lotus crown on his head.

In the past, before the Taoism was integrated, various institutional concepts conflicted with each other. For example, there were four of the three crowns of Taoism, namely Ruyi Crown, Hibiscus Crown, Lotus Crown, and Fishtail Crown. And the lotus crown was confused with the hibiscus crown.

Later, the five great masters clearly stipulated that the lotus crown is the lotus crown and the hibiscus crown is the hibiscus crown, and they must not be confused.

The three deputy masters are the leaders and masters of the three sects. The Quanzhen Taoist master wears the fishtail crown, the Zhengyi Taoist master wears the hibiscus crown, and the Taiping Taoist master wears the Ruyi crown, which are the three crowns of Taoism.

However, the lotus crown is still the head crown of the first-grade innocent Taoist priests.

The Pingzhang Taoist master wears the purple gold lotus crown, which is different from the jade lotus crown of the Canzhi Taoist master and the gold lotus crown of the ordinary Taoist master.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help holding his breath.

This is the first time he has seen an immortal.

Unlike Zhang Yuelu, Li Changge, Yao Pei and others who have been able to see the three deputy masters since childhood, Qi Xuansu has never had the opportunity to see the three deputy masters. Although he has seen many pseudo-immortals, they are not immortals after all. Wu Luo and Siming Zhenjun are immortals, but they are all clones, not the real ones.

This Great Immortal Pingzhang is named Jiang Hedao. He is of the same generation as the old Immortal Sun Hewu. They are both sixth-generation disciples, and they are quite advanced sixth-generation disciples.

Compared with these sixth-generation disciples who are relatively advanced or even close to the fifth-generation disciples, Qi Xuansu, who is relatively late, is nominally two generations behind, and the actual age difference is almost three generations.

Jiang Hedao looked around and swept his eyes. There was no real pressure, no pressure, and even no feeling. If everyone was not looking at this Great Immortal Pingzhang, they could not even sense that this Great Immortal looked at them.

Obviously, this Great Immortal does not like to show off his power casually.

When it is not necessary, a glance over, with pressure in his eyes, wishing to make everyone kneel down like a mountain carrying a heavy load, is a very uncultured performance, regarded as vulgar and barbaric, and will be ridiculed by other immortals, just like the civil officials of the previous dynasty looked at the military officials, or the Celestial Empire looked at the barbarians.

Jiang Hedao walked down the gangway, walking slowly, like an ordinary old man.

The people in front immediately came forward.

The King of Jin, who represented His Majesty the Emperor, walked in front, first greeted the Great Immortal, and conveyed the Emperor's greetings.

Jiang Hedao had white eyebrows, white hair, and white beard, without a trace of color, but no wrinkles on his face, very immortal, and smiled and responded to the Emperor's greetings.

Then a group of Taoist Immortals came forward to greet him, including Li Ruoshui, who was the Assistant Immortal. Regardless of the rank of his position or the realm of cultivation, the generation was there, and this was a figure of the master generation.

Then there were the young people. For them, this was the generation of the master.

The old man was very kind to the young people, especially the three outstanding talents of the Taoist sect. He focused on asking about their recent schoolwork, what exercises they practiced, and what realm they were in, and especially praised Zhang Yuelu.

After all, he is an immortal, so he can naturally see that Li Changge relies on external forces, Yao Pei has the blood of a great witch, and only Zhang Yuelu is the most orthodox Taoist disciple, and is the most satisfactory to the old school. Moreover, in the upper echelons of Taoism, Zhang Yuelu, who is willing to work, can work, and has been working, has the best reputation, putting aside the sectarianism. After all, there are not many young people who are responsible, and what bad temper is, that is a trivial matter.

As for the entourage, they are not qualified to talk to the Great Master Pingzhang, and can only watch from afar. The Great Master quickly boarded a seven-scented car with specifications slightly inferior to the Deputy Master, and left this place under the escort of the spiritual officer, heading straight to the Jade Emperor Palace.

Qi Xuansu mixed in the crowd and knew that this was the Great Master Pingzhang who was responsible for sitting in the Imperial Capital in the "Settling the Heart Ape" plan. In name, he was meeting His Majesty the Emperor and inspecting the Imperial Capital Dao Mansion, but in fact, the "Settling the Heart Ape" plan had entered the countdown.

The people in the court must have known what this meant, and both sides had entered the final preparation stage.

For Qi Xuansu, there was no need for them to contact the Great Master Pingzhang. They just had to do their own things.

After the Great Master left, King Jin and the three masters of the Imperial Capital Dao Mansion naturally left with him. The accompanying personnel also left one after another. Next, the various people responsible for the alert lifted the martial law.

The gangway of the "Yinglong" was still not removed.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei, and Qi Xuansu were left on the shore. The positions and identities of the three of them had long been public. Master Donghua sent these three juniors to the Imperial Capital. It couldn't be that they really wanted to rectify the atmosphere in the Imperial Capital.

Now the two sides are like playing Xuansheng cards. After the endgame, they dare not say that they know all the cards in the opponent's hand, but they have a rough idea in their hearts. There is no point in being too secretive. As long as the key intentions are concealed, it will be fine.

In other words, how could the mobilization of the first-grade innocent Taoist priests and the first-grade spiritual officials be hidden from the Taiping Dao, which is also one of the three Daos? These are all means on the surface. There is no need to hide them, and they can't be hidden.

Until this time, the three of them went forward.

Another figure appeared on the gangway.

The dark armor was not a piece of overlapping fish scale armor. The armor itself was like a whole, smooth as a mirror, black as ink, without the slightest gap. Under normal circumstances, it could not be worn on the body at all. There was only one explanation - Jiawan.

There was no doubt that this was a spiritual officer.

And a high-grade spiritual officer.

He stood on the deck and looked at the three people below, jumped down, and then landed lightly like a fallen leaf, without even a snow grain being stirred up. With a set of armor, it gave people a great contrast and disharmony.

Zhang Yuelu stepped forward and took the initiative to salute and said: "Meet Jiachen Lingguan."

Liujia Lingguan is in charge of attack, and Tiangang Hall is in charge of attack, so the two have a deep origin. In the last war in the Western Regions, Tiangang Hall and the Western Regions Daofu were the main forces, and the leader was Jiashen Lingguan.

The Jiachen Spiritual Officer returned the greeting: "Meet Deputy Hall Master Zhang."

He then looked at Yao Pei and Qi Xuansu: "Are these two Yao Fuli and Qi Zhushi? I have heard of your great names for a long time."
