Xiang Chun came to Mount Qi with Yue Luo's letter. After reporting, he was called up. Seeing Zhang Yu sitting on the cliff, he came up and bowed. "Head Xuan."
Zhang Yu said, "Senior Xiang, you don't have to be so polite."
Xiang Chun said, "I told Xuanxiu about promoting our Dongting. I didn't expect her to come up with a countermeasure in these few days. Her method is based on the Sheng play. I read it and thought it was very good. Here is the letter she wrote." As he spoke, he handed the letter over.
Zhang Yu took it and flipped through it. He nodded and said, "This is feasible. Let's do it."
Xiang Chun nodded.
Zhang Yu said, "This matter needs to be taken seriously. The expansion of the Dongting has the support of Xuanting. What we lack is manpower. As long as it doesn't interfere with the planning, make it as convenient as possible. If there is anything you think is lacking, you can tell me."
Xiang Chun said, "Yes, I will do as you say. I will arrange it well."
After coming down from Mount Qi, he began to think about this matter. However, how the play should be rehearsed, how to choose the play, and how to do it specifically, these were all handed over to the person in charge below. What he needed to do was to try his best to arrange this matter properly and provide all the convenience.
Moreover, he felt that this matter must be done quickly because the four protectorates were now expanding and trying to recruit people. What he could think of, others could also think of. It was just a matter of time. If the Sheng play in the Dongting could be rehearsed first, it would be possible to seize the opportunity.
For this reason, he specially asked Su Qian to come and discuss this matter with him. Su Qian was also very interested in this matter because it was also very good for promoting Tianxia's military.
Because the best playwright of the Sheng play was in Yujing, she said that she could invite him.
Su Qian's actions were very fast. After discussing with Xiang Chun, she invited him in less than half a month. After the playwright arrived in the Dongting, it only took him a month to write the general outline of the play.
After Xiang Chun received the script, he first looked through it. Seeing that there were no major mistakes, he turned to Qi Shan and presented it to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu took a look and saw that there were two scripts. One of them had many scenes related to him, but it was written at the back that suggestions were not needed.
The reason was explained below. Because of this, someone had to play the role of Zhang Yu, but who could play the role of Xuan Zun? Who would dare to play Xuan Zun? Who could perform with such grace and boldness?
He took the script to one side and said, "This script is indeed inappropriate. Xuanting has a rule that Xuan Zun is not allowed to publicize himself. Otherwise, it will affect the hearts of the people and bring about disaster."
In the past, Tianxia had a saying, "The Spiritual Master of Shangxuan is like a god."
If anyone wanted to harm Xuan Zun, it could affect the mysteries of heaven and cause changes in heaven and earth. If the people of the mortal world admired Xuan Zun, then over time, it would cause some changes in their minds. These people's thoughts would gradually become the same as Xuan Zun, and they would lose themselves.
Tianxia used to call himself Shen Xia, and it was not without reason. Some Xuan Zun used this method to enslave the people of the world, so that the world would not change for thousands of years.
However, Tianxia was not like this. Tianxia was particular about "letting the world change, and teaching the Dao through observation." The changes in the world were determined by the people of the world, and Xuan Zun was only trying to grasp the truth to ensure the survival of Tianxia. It was fine as long as it could be passed on, and it was fine as long as possible.
Today, most of the Xuan Zun sitting in the upper echelons had a past that was worth writing about. However, which Xuan Zun's specific record was known to the world? It could be said that there was not a single one. In fact, this was to put an end to this matter.
Xiang Chun said, "Xuan Zun is right. This subordinate also thinks that it is a little inappropriate. However, this script lacks Xuan Zun's actions that day, so it is inevitable that it will be less exciting."
Zhang Yu said, "There is nothing wrong with this. I am the Xuan Zun. If I were to appear in the script, then I would be the most important. Everyone's view would fall on me, and this would lose its original purpose. My Dongting returned to Tianxia, and it was not only me. My Senior Brothers, Tianxia, and all the people and soldiers did their best for this.
It was because everyone wanted to return to Tianxia that we were able to do what we did in the future. If the people's hearts were not as expected, then what was the use of our actions? "
Xiang Chun also nodded silently.
Zhang Yu picked up another script. This one was very different from the previous one. It was written from the perspective of an ordinary person. This person's identity was a small soldier who had followed the two Governors Guan and Yang across the ocean. He had witnessed the hundred years of Dongting's life from its establishment to its prosperity, from its prosperity to its decline, from its decline to its rebirth, and then the reigniting of the flames of war to its return to the mainland.
This person's life span was extremely long, and his perspective was also biased towards the lower class. From the mainland to Qingyang, and then from Qingyang to Dongting, he included all kinds of people during this period. When he saw this, he also nodded. This was more exciting than writing about him alone.
He said, "Use this script."
Xiang Chun cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate obeys."
Changhe Protectorate.
More than a thousand azure lakes of different sizes were spread across the land. Between the lakes, rainbow bridges were connected. This was an extremely rare sight in the Wilderness.
On the largest lake, known as Dan Lake, stood a large platform that reached into the clouds. This was where Changhe Xuanfu was located. Cen Chuan's incarnation had been guarding this place ever since he came here.
Now, everything in the protectorate was moving according to Tianxia's way, and there was no need for him to deliberately interfere. Although he did not like the Xuanfu of Xuanxiu, he had to use it now.
He was very clear that with his past and his identity as a member of Zhengqing's faction, there would be many people watching him. In particular, a certain Court Administrator would be ready to find fault with him at any time.
Before he returned to his seat as the court steward, no matter how unhappy he was, he could only endure it.
Outside the jade steps of the platform, a Xiao Tong carefully came over and said in a low voice, "Xuan Shou, Mo Daoxiu requests an audience."
Cen Chuan said indifferently, "Let him come up."
The Xiao Tong bowed and turned to leave. After a while, footsteps were heard. A middle-aged cultivator came up behind him and bowed. He said with a cautious expression, "Greetings, Xuan Shou."
Cen Chuan said, "What is it?"
The cultivator surnamed Mo said, "Xuan Shou, the people who said that they would come to our prefecture recently did not come."
The expansion of the four protectorates was supported by the Xuanting. However, they only provided the necessary manpower and resources. If they wanted more, the protectorates would have to fight for it themselves. The Xuanting would not interfere. From this perspective, the four protectorates were in a competitive relationship.
Cen Chuan said indifferently, "If they don't come, then so be it. Is such a small matter worth mentioning?"
He actually did not care about the developments below. It had nothing to do with him. In his mind, Xuan Shou was here to resist the supernatural and prevent the prefecture from being affected by external interference.
As for other things, since he could not do what he wanted to do, he naturally did not have the heart to care about them.
The cultivator surnamed Mo said, "That is not the case. They did not come for a reason."
Seeing that Cen Chuan did not speak, he could only continue, "Recently, the Xuntian Dao Zhang has a new Seal of Ming Guan. This seal can display the shadow of a person. Previously, because they saw a shadow in the Dongting Prefecture, they originally said that they would come to my place. However, in the end, they all went to the Dongting Prefecture."
When Cen Chuan heard this, he paid more attention. After all, the Xuan Shou of the Dongting Prefecture was Zhang Yu. He had once defeated him in the Dharma Debate. In the future, he might be his opponent. He might even be an obstacle to his plan of reviving the Zhen Sect and destroying the Xuan Sect. He was worthy of his attention.
He first asked, "What are their cultivations like?"
The cultivator surnamed Mo said, "They are all cultivators of the third chapter of the Xuan Art. Although their cultivations are not high now, they have great potential. With the help of the current Xuntian Dao Zhang, it will not take many years for them to ascend …"
At this moment, Cen Chuan interrupted him and said, "These people are all Xuanxiu?"
The cultivator surnamed Mo said, "Yes. However, our prefecture accepts all people from all walks of life. Zhen Xiu and Xuanxiu are all cultivators. Moreover, the subordinates are mostly Xuanxiu. Without them, many things can't operate. "
Cen Chuan did not comment and said, "Then what should Mo Daoxiu do?"
The cultivator surnamed Mo said, "I should also use a similar method to display my Changhe's style. This will attract more cultivators and make them work for me."
Cen Chuan said, "Since that is the case, Mo Daoxiu will do it."
The cultivator surnamed Mo wanted to give a few more suggestions on this matter. However, after seeing Mo Daoxiu's cold expression, he hesitated and did not say anything more. He cupped his hands and silently retreated.
Qing Qiong Land, Miaohao Daoist Palace.
Zhong Weiwu paced around in the hall. Although he was not Xuanxiu, as a court administrator, he was informed by Xuanting about the addition of the Divine Seal in Xuntian Dao Zhang.
Now, there were more and more changes in Xuntian Dao Zhang. However, he did not like it because it meant that there were more variables in the world.
In the past, Shen Xia did not change for thousands of years. It was much easier to calculate anything. This did not mean that he could not calculate anything because there were more changes. However, these changes all represented a possibility in the future. This made him unable to grasp it as accurately as he did in the past.
However, if that was all, it would be fine. The key was that the changes in Xuntian Dao Zhang had nothing to do with Zhen Xiu. On the contrary, the Xuan and Hun Daoists could use this to improve themselves and expand their influence and power. This was unacceptable to him.
He was not worried about the current situation. Instead, he was worried that the Xuan and Hun Daoists would become closer in the future.
He pondered for a moment, and felt that this could actually be considered an opportunity. Initially, because of the appearance of the five Enforcers, he had no way of interfering with the Heaven Rebuking Seal. But now, with the addition of the Clear Vision Seal, he could use this to restrict the Heaven Rebuking Seal.
He arrived in front of a wall and waved his sleeve. Light shone from above. After waiting for a while, Daoist Zhangsun's figure appeared. He asked indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, what's the matter?"
Zhong Weiwu said, "Daoist Zhangsun, Xuntian Dao Zhang is changing again. This is beneficial to the Xuan and Hun Daoists, but not to me. I think that we must restrict it. The next court meeting is not far away. I hope that Zhangsun Tingzhi can work with me to suppress it!"
