Chapter 66 Where He Walks, There Is No Pain (Part 5)
??The simple and unpretentious main hall in Shangqing Palace.
Six people in Taoist robes sat in the middle. The main seat was a handsome young man, the head of Shangqing Palace, Taoist Qingxuan. There was a short old man, Qingxuzi, two burly strong men, Master Qianduan and Master Tielian of Bailian Sect, a Taoist Danqing from Yaoxian Garden, and Miaomu Fairy from Yuegong.
??And a temple official, the Minister of War.
??These are all the Jindan cultivators currently in Zhoudi. Of course, there are definitely some hidden powerful people among the people, but the government cannot invite them, and they are not stronger than those present.
??The relevant departments that formulate the A, B, C, and D monk ratings have a grading system that is not official, but is often used by the government for reference. They divide the reincarnated into great monks, great powers, and the strongest, which correspond to the golden elixir, the primordial infant, and the god. At the same time, based on some verifiable materials, the great monks, the great powers, and the strongest are further divided into special grades.
??Special grade, refers to being extremely outstanding in a certain aspect, such as fighting, alchemy, formation, etc.
??The Sword Immortal is a top-level fighter among the strongest. Almost no one can defeat him.
??Taoist Qingxuan is also a special grade, but he is more comprehensive, he knows a little bit of Taoist alchemy, formation and weapon refining, and he is not bad at all. Maybe he is not as good as the sword immortal, but he is definitely far better than most people. In ancient times, he would be a king or a venerable, at least a Taoist venerable.
??For example, no one present could defeat Taoist Qingxuan even if they attacked together.
??And now these top figures in the surrounding area have more or less a bit of sadness on their faces, as the affairs of the White Lotus Club have made them extremely anxious.
??As always, they crushed the White Lotus Club. Not long ago, they killed more than a dozen demons and thousands of their disciples in one night. They almost wiped out their nests, and only some powerful ones (the Nascent Soul in the previous life) escaped.
But now the White Lotus Demons have fled in all directions, and the government is unable to determine their location. In addition, these demons have changed their fighting style, instead of killing people, they specialize in harvesting human souls, making them exhausted and powerless.
??“Damn it! This is so fucking frustrating.” Master Qianduan of Bailian Sect finally lost his patience and punched the ground. Before his fist landed, a flash of light flew out from the sleeve of Taoist Qingxuan and blocked the blow for the floor.
??Otherwise we’ll have to hire someone to repair it tomorrow.
"You hide and seek, harming the people everywhere, and you call me the Demon Lord!"
Qingxuzi also sighed and said, "Alas, when will this end? Can Daoist Miaomu find a solution?"
??The Moon Palace Myoki Fairy is the one with the deepest spiritual practice among them, and is also the key to their current breakthrough.
"The Heavenly Heart Art is the first divine power of the soul, and it cannot be resolved." Miao Mu shook his head, "Now only the City God can decipher it, but it takes time to become a god of incense and fire. It is now extremely difficult to establish a City God system covering the entire country."
"Mr. Shangshu, how is the discussion going in the court?"
??Everyone turned their eyes to the only ordinary person present.
Yang Lichuan, the Minister of War who was in charge of national defense, nodded and said solemnly, "The court has held a meeting and decided to list several cities with serious sleeping sickness as pilot cities for city gods, and allow righteous monks to apply to become city gods."
??In the past, temples would be very cautious about this kind of incense god. After all, this is to establish a new management system independent of the government.
"Too slow." Qingxuzi shook his head. "By the time you finish selecting, those demons will have already occupied all the positions. I suggest calling on the world to appoint capable city gods. By then, countless cultivators will stand out."
"The devil's act of returning the soul is despicable. A large number of disciples who worship the devil have emerged among the people."
??From the moment the first person woke up, the government and they all guessed each other's intentions, using intimidation to manipulate public opinion and gather incense.
??This move is extremely insidious and extremely unsolvable.
??People are praying for their lives, and no one can stop them. If you try to stop them by force, you will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming public opinion, which is exactly what the other party wants.
Yang Lichuan remained silent. It was impossible for the government to completely let go, as this would bury a huge hidden danger. They would rather continue to waste time and slowly grind these demons to death.
What Taoist Master Qingxu said makes sense. Once all restrictions are lifted, I believe many powerful people will be happy to be the City God. But the question is how to manage them in the future? Should we leave them alone and let them form a force independent of the government and above society?
At this time, Qing Xuan expressed his opinion and said, "I do not agree to relax the restrictions. The selection of the City God must be very careful. The ordinary City Gods in the cultivation world need to be loved by the people, and the modern ones should be more strict. This is not a City God of hundreds of thousands of people, but a City God of millions or tens of millions."
??The City God in the cultivation world is different from the modern City God. The two are not at the same level at all.
??They are from the perspective of cultivators, while Qingxuan is from the perspective of the world. He has been the head of Shangqing Palace for too long, and is no longer as carefree as his master. He has too many concerns. What if the City God is stealing from the city and secretly using people's spirits to practice magic? It is the most difficult to supervise the dark under the lamp.
??Even the city gods in the cultivation world don’t dare to appoint people at random, let alone in modern times where the population has increased dozens of times.
??Qingxuan is more inclined towards the government. Although sometimes some people will fail due to greed, generally speaking, they are definitely better than those who practice cultivation in managing the world.
??The immortals in the world do not care about the world, the Shangqing Palace holds the immortal orders and governs the world.
