The people of Kanhaiya brought back many strange things from the East China Sea.
Such a bureau is of course more than just surveying and drawing nautical charts.
The 490,000 miles of the East China Sea is probably a new step for this world to take towards newer and unknown places.
Of course Song Yingxin was very busy, so even if something happened in such a fairy cliff that made many people pay attention, the head of the Tiangong Department was too busy to take a look.
Because of Kanhaiya's return, the Tiangong Division suddenly had too many things to hand over and sort out, all of which required Song Yingxin's personal intervention.
As for His Majesty Kamigawa in Sophora Capital, he was probably meeting a Taoist from the East China Sea in a certain Sophora grove in the palace.
On the afternoon of June in the human world, by the Sophora Forest Pond, His Majesty the Demon Emperor in black robes stood there quietly, while the Taoist stood respectfully behind him - this was probably very different from the scene in a certain poker hall in the East China Sea. different.
At that time, the Taoist priest could not be said to be impudent, but at least he could calmly say such things as "dogs on the card table".
But after all, the Divine River in the East China Sea is the Three Swords of the World, and the Divine River in Huaidu is the Lord of the World.
Kamigawa stood by the pool with his hands folded. There were some green and red fish swimming under the rockery cover in the pool. Not far away, there were servants from the palace throwing fish food there, but Kamigawa did not look at them. He glanced at the clear pool, but looked at the palace roads in the distance for a long time.
Xie Chaoyu said nothing, just stood there quietly with his head bowed.
In fact, such a scene appeared many years ago.
That was the time of civil strife in Qingtian Dao.
At that time, the Qingtian Dao incident caused panic in the entire north of Huai'an. This made Huaidu step in and forcibly stop such an incident. However, it also caused the original Qingtian Dao to be divided into three. This is how we have the three views of the world today.
After a long time, Kamigawa finally turned around, looked at the Taoist behind him quietly, and said slowly: "Actually, I have always been puzzled."
The fortune teller lowered his head and stood on the spot and said softly: "Why does your Majesty not understand anything?"
"Why didn't Xie Cangsheng stay in Queyimen and went to Xuansheyuan instead?"
Bu Suanzi was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty was born in a humble life, why did you become one of the Three Swordsmen in the World?"
Kamigawa said calmly: "Of course it's because my ambition is not the autumn water, but the world."
Bu Suanzi said softly: "The same is true for common people."
Kamigawa looked at Fu Suanzi for a long time, but did not continue to ask questions. He turned back and looked down at the fish in the pond beside the forest.
Bu Suanzi raised his head slightly and looked at the back of the emperor by the pool. He was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, you suspect that the lack of a door is related to the wind and rain in the world?"
Kamigawa didn't say anything, he just stood by the pool for a long time.
The fortune teller waited for a long time, then slowly knelt down and said softly: "There is a missing mirror that has lived in the East China Sea for a long time. The people under the sect rarely walk in the world. This matter is known to the whole world."
The Divine River stood near the pond. After hearing these words from Xie Chaoyu, he waved his hands and said: "Get up, what if there is a missing person? I naturally know it. After all, every year, the Ministry of Revenue allocates a large amount of money to flow to the East China Sea. This money Of course it’s not for free.”
The salary of the emperor naturally means that such a Taoist temple far away in the East China Sea has actually been under the control and supervision from Huaidu.
But Bu Suanzi suddenly fell silent. Perhaps he really didn't know why Kamigawa suddenly mentioned such a thing.
The Lord of the World stood there for a long time and continued: "You don't have to think too much. If I really only want to do things for the Nineteenth Chapter of the Human World, I won't just ask you to see me. What about Li Shanhe?" Can you walk freely in the world?"
Bu Suanzi stood up with some confusion. Perhaps because of his uneasiness just now, the injury from the sword in the Taoist's body was affected a little more. He was coughing non-stop at this time.
Kamigawa looked back at him and said slowly: "Those sword wounds haven't healed yet?"
Bu Suanzi sighed softly and said: "When a century-old person reaches the age of seventy, his injuries will naturally be difficult to heal as quickly as when he was young."
Kamigawa was silent for a while, turned back and said softly: "I am indeed to blame for what happened in the East China Sea."
Bu Suanzi coughed for a long time, and the Taoist charm spread all over his body, and then he suppressed the sword wounds, raised his head and looked at the emperor in front of him for a long time, and said softly: "What are your Majesty and Senior Cong Ren thinking about the matter in the East China Sea?" What are you wearing?"
Kamigawa said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just the inevitable battle of life and death."
This is probably still something I don’t want to say.
Bu Suanzi was silent for a while, but did not continue to ask. He stood there for a while, and then said softly: "So what does Your Majesty want me to do in Huaihuai?"
Kamigawa looked up to the south of the human world and said calmly: "What do you think of Xuansheyuan?"
Bu Suanzi frowned, but he didn't know what Kamigawa meant by this sentence.
Although such academies, which originated from the Huangliang Yao Feng, have spread across the Great River, to the north of Yunmengze, there has only been one in Nanyi City for thousands of years.
The world often thinks this is because the prime minister drinks all day long and is so short of money that he cannot afford to continue opening that academy in the north.
It's just that the divination operator knows that such a thing is naturally not the case.
A scholar who would frown even if he drank a penny more would naturally not be able to squander a lot of money because of drinking for thousands of years.
What Yunhu didn't know at the time was that there was a lot of money hidden in the library of Xuanshuyuan.
What's more, the expenses of Xuanxuyuan have always been borne by local government agencies, so it is naturally impossible to stop in Nanyi City because of this.
What really made Xuanxuyuan stop south of Daze was, after all, due to some irresistible factors.
Even the Xuanshu Courtyard in Nanyi City was located safely in that ancient southern city because there was a human sword sect in the city. There was a white-clothed sword cultivator who slept all day long and was a good friend of the Prime Minister.
Cong Ren's theory of three-foot destiny is naturally very reasonable.
Even though Fortune Teller has always been called the person closest to destiny, when facing the Demon Emperor, there are still too many things that are unknown.
Therefore, after pondering for a long time, the Taoist said softly: "The world of culture is naturally an irreversible trend."
People will not remain ignorant forever.
Nor should one remain ignorant forever.
Kamigawa said calmly: "Yes. But thanks to Chaoyu, the fish cannot escape from the abyss. The clouds should be in the blue sky, and the water should be in the bottle."
When Bu Suanzi heard this, he finally understood something. He looked at the human emperor for a long time and said slowly: "Your Majesty wants Huaidu to take over the Xuanshu Courtyard?"
Shenhe turned around, looked at the Taoist priest, and said flatly: "It's not Huaidu, it's Queyimen and Imperial College."
It is difficult for people in the world to think of any connection between these two places.
But if the story of Xuansheyuan is sandwiched in the middle, everything seems to be reasonable again.
Of course, Xuanxuyuan is more than just an academy. It can teach students from all over the world and take the Dafengchun examination to become officials. It can also teach monks from all over the world and select the best to enter the Sword Sect.
Bu Suanzi finally understood the reason why Shenhe knew that Xie Cangsheng's matter had little to do with Que Yimen, but still let him come to Huaidu from the East China Sea.
As Kamikawa said, the Ministry of Finance provides a large amount of funds for such a White Moon Mirror every year, but Shanhe Temple does not have it, so Kamikawa can summon Xie Chaoyu, but not such a Taoist who wanders around the world.
Eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.
But Fortune teller sighed softly, looked towards the south and said slowly: "I thought Your Majesty would feel guilty for letting such a scholar go."
Kamigawa said calmly: "Of course there is guilt, but if you ignore the emperor's affairs because of guilt, you are abandoning the world without caring. The world has been stable for thousands of years, but I have never thought about it. How much influence does it have on the world?"
Until the incident at the Huangliang Palace and the rebellion of the southern defenders.
It was probably at this point that His Majesty, who was at the top of the spiritual world, finally saw the appeal of such an academy in this world.
Teaching everything naturally means that people in the world can see such a person from the academy in any kind of industry.
Even among the Huaidu Tiangong Department, Kamigawa had to admit that there were many people who came from the Mathematics and Physics Academy of Xuanshu Academy.
His Majesty, dressed in black imperial robes, stood in the wind in the locust tree forest, looking calmly towards the south.
"So Xuanxuyuan can no longer be handed over to the world."
The fortune teller stood there in silence. After a long time, the Taoist said softly: "What are your Majesty's plans?"
Kamigawa turned back and looked at the divination operator quietly for a long time, and then said slowly: "Is there anyone who is missing a skill?"
Bu Suanzi pondered for a while, and he didn't know what he remembered, but he felt a little melancholy.
"have."
Kamikawa looked at the Taoist with an expression that he didn't know what he was thinking of. There seemed to be a smile on the corner of his lips, but he still hid it well.
His Majesty turned around and said calmly: "After the incident with the goddess, let's start making preparations."
Bu Suanzi bowed, turned around and left silently.
The affairs of the world are naturally endless.
And some things are even more unclear.
For example, what should such a Taoist call his great-grandmother?
...
After the Taoist left, the head of the Tiangong Department who was busy with the task of surveying the sea came here in a hurry.
Kamigawa was still standing by the pool, not knowing what he was thinking.
Song Yingxin waited there respectfully for a long time, and then His Majesty finally turned around, looked at the middle-aged head of the department and said slowly: "How is the Kanhai Yamen business?"
Song Yingxin bowed and said seriously: "The task of drawing a 490,000-mile nautical chart is a long process. In terms of the machinery and technology possessed by today's engineering department, the ship built can complete the entire East China Sea. , it will probably still take nearly a hundred years.”
Kamigawa said calmly: "It won't take a hundred years."
Song Yingxin was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What your Majesty said is that this matter may not take a hundred years."
After all, the development of Tiangong Division will not stop at the Great Wind Calendar 1,004 years.
The Chaos Machine that was created by the sword cultivator who ignited the Divine Sea Technique has gradually begun to get on the right track. Compared with the previous Tianyan Machine, it can naturally allow those ships to travel faster and farther on the vast sea.
In fact, Tiangongsi also has a more majestic power core, but it is something that is derived from the conjecture in the "Supplementary Records of the Human World" left by the Taoist Saint. It is still in an extremely uncontrollable state. status.
Naturally, the Tiangong Secretary would not rashly apply those things to the human world.
Song Yingxin continued to talk about the Kanhai Yamen. Such a Si Yamen had only been established not long ago. Naturally, many things were extremely complicated and needed constant adjustment and improvement. However, His Majesty listened very seriously.
It wasn't until the sun was setting and the wind was blowing in the evening forest that Song Yingxin finally finished talking about those things.
"Having been sailing on the East China Sea all year round, the officials of the Kanhai Yamen often suffer from many diseases. This matter probably needs careful diagnosis by the Xuanhu Yamen. The next time we go to sea may be later than expected."
Kamigawa stood quietly in the wind and said softly: "It doesn't matter if it's a little later. We won't seize the day and leave the matter of Qianqiu to Qianqiu."
Such a sentence was said by Qing Yi and Emperor Huai back then.
It's a pity that such an emperor didn't listen.
Kamigawa may have listened.
The emperor turned back, looked at Song Yingxin for a long time, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether you walk fast or slow, but there are many matters in the Tiangong Division that cannot be stopped."
Song Yingxin nodded, bowed and said, "I understand."
Kamigawa looked back at the palace outside the locust trees.
"How are the preparations for the affair between Mr. Xue Zhong and Mr. Yun Zhong going?"
Song Yingxin pondered for a while and said in a deep voice: "Xue Zhongjun's problem still lies in how to deal with the wind and snow and future repairs and maintenance. Sizhong once considered referring to the sword intention of Mo Jian Cliff, and based on the practice world's Strength to resist the wind and snow, but this may not last long. After all, there is only one Mojian Cliff in the world, and the world cannot always rely on the world of cultivation to resist the wind and snow in the world. As for Yun Zhongjun..."
The head of the Tiangong Department was a little hesitant. He looked at Kamigawa and said softly: "Wushan has reappeared in the great swamp. Is it too wasteful to build such a suspended bridge across the 800-mile swamp?"
Shenhe said calmly: "The affairs of the Wugui and God Sect are still at a level that is beyond the control of the world. Although almost all the ancient Chu gods and ghosts have died, are the stories of those gods and ghosts that came from the authority of the Styx really ended like this? Going down, this is not something that the human world can determine. Even if it is really impossible for Donghuang Taiyi to return to the human world, no one knows whether such a Styx river will re-derive any existence. Of course, the affairs of the human world must be solved by the human world itself. Don't go It’s up to Wushan to reconnect with Daze.”
Song Yingxin said in a deep voice: "Yes."
Kamigawa continued: "If the matter of Mr. Yunzhong cannot be solved for the time being, then we will deal with the matter of Mr. Yunzhong first, and the Ministry of Revenue will allocate funds to the Tiangong Division..."
His Majesty kept talking for a long time before finally stopping.
Song Yingxin stood there quietly, and after a long time, he said softly: "Your Majesty is somewhat urgent about this matter."
Kamigawa stood by the pool, but was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Because there are some things that I'm afraid will be delayed for thousands of years if I don't do them. Things that bring mountains and rivers together cannot be delayed forever."
Mountains and rivers sit together, so naturally it should not just be the wind and me.
Song Yingxin suddenly remembered the sermon written on the Taoist robe at such a mountain and river view.
The world of spiritual practice may have always been a place of loneliness.
But the world is not the earth.
This is not how the world should be.
But Song Yingxin suddenly heard some unusual meanings from Shenhe's words. After thinking for a moment, he stood in the wind of the pagoda forest in the evening with some surprise.
"His Majesty......"
The head of the Tiangong Department hesitated for a long time before speaking softly.
"Your Majesty is leaving this world?"
Kamigawa said calmly: "Yes."
Song Yingxin seemed unable to understand the emperor's decision.
He stood there in a daze for a long time, and then said softly: "Since your Majesty is worried about the affairs of the world, why do you have to leave in such a hurry?"
Kamikawa chuckled softly - this was an extremely rare thing.
The emperor took a step forward and walked slowly along the palace road lined with silent stone lanterns beside the locust trees.
"How old is Dafengli now?"
Song Yingxin followed Shenhe and said softly: "Da Feng Li one thousand and four years, Your Majesty."
"Yes, it was Dafeng Li's one thousand and four years. If everything really starts from the time when the late Emperor Li Asan died, I have been sitting on such an imperial throne for more than one thousand and one hundred years."
Although Li Asan has always been called the Empress of Huai'an.
It's just that for such a demon emperor who inherited the throne of Li Asan, such a human emperor can indeed be called the late emperor.
Kamigawa stopped next to a palace stone lantern, stretched out his hand and slowly caressed the palace stone lantern that was level with his eyebrows.
"The light in the world has been extinguished and rekindled more than 300,000 times. But I am still here."
Song Yingxin said sincerely and without flattery: "Your Majesty deserves to be honored for generations to come."
Kamigawa quietly looked at such an extremely ancient and long palace road that was gradually covered by the dusk glow, and said calmly: "Is it really a good thing that thousands of years have passed?"
Song Yingxin fell silent for a moment.
Kamigawa stood there very calmly and said: "I sometimes do doubt whether the emperors after me will be enthusiastic about the things I am passionate about."
The emperor looked up to the sky.
"But sometimes when I sit alone in the palace, I also think that the human world should not live in the same river for a long time. It is stable and peaceful here. But maybe jumping out of the human world can make some old things rejuvenate. Newer and more vigorous vitality.”
"I am already very old, Song Yingxin. When the Tiangong Division made Dayi's Bow, I suffered from insomnia for hundreds of years. I stood on such a bureau countless times, looking at those things with fear. ——At that time, I sincerely believed that you were desecrating the avenue."
Song Yingxin stood there blankly.
The world may have never thought that some things in the Tiangong Division also made such an emperor feel panic.
"Since then, I have realized that for this human world, I am already very old, so old that even though I know that the human world should move forward, it is difficult to accept some new things. So I finally understood what the Taoist Sage said back then. What does it mean to say that as long as there is life, there must be death?"
"This is not the Taoist sage's limitations on life and death, but..."
Kamigawa turned back and looked at this middle-aged man who was the head of the Tiangong Department for an unknown number of generations for a long time.
"Spring passes and autumn comes, the grass and trees wither and flourish, and the old and decayed things should die."
"The world is always the world for those who come after us."
