Chapter 367 Explanation
Feitian Sect is located on a lush mountain peak two hundred miles outside Yujing City.
There are many peaks around, one after another, stretching seemingly endlessly.
Each mountain is lush and green, and the cold winter has not damaged their vitality.
The many strange trees Chu Zhiyuan saw were different from the trees he saw in Yujing City or Yaoyue Palace.
These trees are similar to pine trees, but are taller and stronger than pine trees, with straight roots rising into the sky.
Chu Zhiyuan rode a white horse, followed by Huang Cheng and Zou Fang. In addition to the two, there were four red-robed eunuchs.
There are eighteen guards, all of whom are Forbidden Palace guards, four of whom are Grandmasters and fourteen are Innate.
Chu Zhiyuan sat on the horse, looked at the mountain peaks in front of him, and said with a smile: "Has Ambassador Huang been here before?"
"I've been here a few times." Huang Cheng said with a smile: "These Feitian Sect members are all a bit straight-minded, which is also caused by their martial arts. The sword technique pays attention to being straight to the point. There is no need to be too tactful when talking to them, and there is no need to beat around the bush. , what is the best thing to say?”
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Isn't it easier to get along with such a person?"
Huang Cheng smiled and said: "Sometimes it's quite irritating, and speaking too directly is too hurtful."
Chu Zhiyuan was surprised: "They still dare to say unpleasant things to you, Huang Zhongzhi?"
"It is inevitable that there will be some complaints. It is not appropriate for a servant to pass them on to the emperor after hearing them. Alas... it is embarrassing."
"The Feitian Sect is quite dissatisfied with the imperial court?"
"They think the court interferes too much. They want more freedom and don't want quota restrictions."
"Want more disciples to join the Zhenwu Division?"
"Sect Master Lu doesn't want so many disciples to enter the Zhenwu Division."
Chu Zhiyuan was curious: "How can we improve ourselves if we don't join the Zhenwu Division?"
He originally thought that the Feitian Sect was complaining that there were too few places in the Zhenwu Division, not enough for the disciples.
The result was just the opposite. They thought there were too many places and didn't want so many disciples to enter the Zhenwu Division.
"Zongzhu Lu believes in practicing without any external objects, purely self-study and self-realization."
Chu Zhiyuan asked curiously: "If they don't want to enter the Zhenwu Division, will the court force them to enter?"
Huang Cheng said: "The annual quota of the Zhenwu Division is divided equally among the four sects. If the Feitian Sect doesn't want it, then it will be given to the other three sects. But there are three sects again. It's difficult to separate them."
Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "It is indeed troublesome to divide it evenly among the three sects."
Huang Cheng shook his head: "And once the rules are formed on this matter, if the Feitian Sect wants it again in the future, will it be given or not?... Then it will inevitably be a mess. It is best to follow the rules and keep them."
"The rules..." Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "You should indeed abide by the rules. The Feitian Sect must abide by the rules of the Feitian Sect, and the Zhenwu Division must abide by the rules of the Zhenwu Division."
The Zhenwu Division had a transcendent status and was under the jurisdiction of the emperor.
The emperor issued orders directly to the Zhenwu Division without having to go through the various ministries of the imperial court.
The Zhenwu Division was not subject to the various government offices in the imperial court, but it usually worked with the Zongwu Division to help manage martial arts affairs.
The Zongwu Division is responsible for civil affairs, and the Zhenwu Division is responsible for military affairs. Each of them performs his or her own duties.
Zongwusi can handle the affairs of various martial arts sects, but Zongwusi has no power to deal with matters involving Zhenwusi.
Therefore, there is no way for me to interfere in this matter.
He put aside his thoughts and said with a smile: "I wonder if I can see this Master Lu this time?"
"Zongzhu Lu wants to welcome the imperial edict."
While the two were talking, they saw a group of people floating down the mountain in a mighty manner.
A blue stone step goes straight up to the top of the mountain. These Feitian Sect disciples are wearing green robes, tapping their toes on the step, like pieces of feathers floating down.
After a while, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The middle-aged man in front of him is a handsome middle-aged man, with a face like a crown jewel and an elegant demeanor.
Chu Zhiyuan was surprised.
Judging from his appearance and temperament, he is indeed not a crazy person, but a person with clear eyes and clear mind.
Is it that people should not be judged by their appearance, or is there another mystery?
Lu Donghu smiled and clasped his fists from a distance: "Haha..., the angel is coming. Lu is a little far away to greet you. Please forgive me!" Huang Cheng took a step back and stood out from Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and smiled: "Master Lu, Mr. Chu was ordered to announce the decree. The emperor's grandfather was extremely satisfied with the performance of your disciples in the Zhenwu Division. The disciples of your sect were fearless in the face of the masters of the evil sect. The emperor's grandfather was also amazed. Special gift "Praise"
As he spoke, he uncovered the yellow silk from the sandalwood tray held by a red-robed eunuch and handed over the imperial edict.
"Now that I have entered the Zhenwu Division, I should fulfill my duties faithfully, as I should. Your Majesty has given me this award."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Not everyone who enters Zhenwu Division is as loyal and upright as the disciples of Guizong."
He still has a good impression of Feitian Sect disciples.
Among the four major sects of Zhenwu Division, the disciples of Feitian Sect have the lowest sense of existence, but the most painful and tiring work often falls on them.
They don't care and work hard without complaining.
As for the other four major sects, the same is true for Dalingyan Peak. Baiyun Sword Palace is better at using their brains and more clever, while Qingluya disciples seem a bit mediocre.
"The prince is...?" Lu Donghu hesitated.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Chu Zhiyuan, ranked fourth."
"...Fourth Prince, you are disrespectful and disrespectful." Lu Donghu immediately clasped his fists and said: "The name of the Fourth Prince is as thunderous as mine. Now that I can see your face, I am indeed the Fourth Prince!"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand: "Sect Master Lu, thank you very much. It's just good luck."
"Your Majesty, please, Lord Huang, please."
Lu Donghu smiled and invited.
Chu Zhiyuan saw that he acted calmly and had no objection to him, so he knew that he was not as reckless as he thought.
He is such a straightforward person. When he hears his name, his color will change immediately.
Even if there is no embarrassment, there will be something strange.
But there was no change in Ludong Lake, and it seemed that he had never refused to watch the Heavenly Sword.
This is not something ordinary people can do.
——
Everyone climbed up the steps and came to a large hall halfway up the mountain, which was the guest hall.
Chu Zhiyuan sat at the table in the main hall, took the tea cup, took a sip and looked around.
Sitting in the main hall, the curtains have been raised, and you can see the lush mountain peaks, and the view is broad and bright.
Chu Zhiyuan put down the tea cup and said with a smile: "The most attractive thing about Feitian Sect is the Heavenly Sword. It's a pity that outsiders can't watch it. Master Lu, do you know where the Heavenly Sword is?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." Lu Donghu smiled and clasped his fists: "The Heavenly Sword requires disciples of our sect to comprehend it. This is a rule set by our ancestors."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "The rules must be followed and cannot be broken at will, otherwise the majesty of the sect will be lost."
Lu Donghu smiled and said: "The reason why we had this rule was not because our sect was stingy, but to save trouble."
"What's the trouble?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
Lu Donghu said: "If you have not practiced our sect's mental method, you will be attacked by the heavenly sword if you get close to it. It is an attack comparable to that of a great master. Under a great master, you are almost certain to die."
Chu Zhiyuan suddenly realized: "So, I have misunderstood Master Lu."
If I had been doubtful about his statement before seeing the silver-sheathed sword.
After seeing the long sword with a silver scabbard, I knew how powerful the sword was, so I didn't find it strange that the Heavenly Sword had such power.
Seeing him like this, Lu Donghu was a little surprised, thinking that Chu Zhiyuan would not believe it.
But looking at Chu Zhiyuan's appearance, he already believed it.
"As for the Tiandao Pavilion, there is actually no sword." Lu Donghu continued to explain: "The great masters of all dynasties have abandoned their swords. The Tiandao Pavilion is only a place for understanding the Tiandao. Our sect does not have the sword of a great master. ”
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Isn't it a pity to abandon the sword after practicing it for so long?"
"Actually, it's not a pity. Like Baiyun Sword Palace and Qinglu Cliff, they also abandoned their swords when they reached the Grand Master. The one that took advantage was Da Lingyan Peak, which practiced boxing, but they suffered too much in the early stage."
