Shangqing Palace, Zhangmen Courtyard.

Although it is a town-level residence, it is no more than a separate courtyard in a bamboo forest halfway up the mountain. The area including the courtyard does not exceed 200 square meters.

Prime Minister Pan Jun waved off his personal guards and walked into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he could see a handsome Taoist priest sitting in the shade of a tree not far away, smiling and waving to him.

He quickly approached and bowed his hands like a monk.

"Taoist Priest Qingxuan, I took the liberty of paying you a visit."

As the head of the region, his status today is no longer as good as that of the town and national level. Thinking back to five years ago, the temple was still able to issue orders to the town and national level, but now its status has been reversed.

Since the appearance of the Immortal, he has allowed all secular temples to see the upper limit of a monk, and perfectly explained what individual power is.

People's hearts are changeable, and the interior of the temple is not an iron plate. After many people see the monk's top existence, they will associate it with the strength of the country, and then move closer to him.

Maybe the town-state level cannot reach the power of an immortal, but it will definitely not be low in the future.

The general trend of heaven and earth is irreversible, and the expansion of monks' power cannot be changed by personal will. The big shots who can reach the top of the pyramid are not stupid, and they join the major monks invariably.

If you want to continue to enjoy prosperity and wealth, you can only invest in the future.

The town-state level is the biggest backer.

Prime Minister Pan Jun did not seek refuge with Taoist Qingxuan, but the relationship between the two was not bad. On the contrary, they could be regarded as half-friends.

Because the earliest cooperation between Immortalism and the government was approved by Prime Minister Pan Jun, who can also be regarded as one of the promoters of the town-level system.

If the representative of immortality is Qingxuan, then the representative of the mortal government is Prime Minister Pan Jun.

Qingxuan Taoist said: "The prime minister can come anytime, but it's probably not as simple as a visit for you to come to me."

"I want to ask the Taoist priest for advice, or I'm here to plead for mercy." Prime Minister Pan Jun said straight to the point, "Nowadays, due to the backward construction of the temple and its subordinate departments, huge mistakes have been made, and it is natural to make up for it."

"It would be fine if I was left alone, but I have to retire. I guarantee that the next temple meeting will do something."

"So you want me to plead for mercy?" Qingxuan asked.

Prime Minister Pan Jun nodded unequivocally.

"Haha, you guys." Qingxuan chuckled a few times, looking a little more helpless.

"The Immortal is right, even if I go to plead for mercy, it will be useless. In the same way, he will not pursue you, and he will not pursue you in the future, let alone treat you differently."

Prime Minister Pan Jun nodded and said: "I believe this, but I am waiting for some unrealistic memories."

"If the immortals don't speak, they will continue and eventually become nervous. So I would like to ask the Taoist priest to comfort them. What you say will work."

This time the government suffered heavy losses, but as an excellent person in power, Prime Minister Pan Jun did not give up on himself because of this, but instead took this opportunity to carry out internal rectification.

But factions will always exist, and it is human nature to form cliques.

Qingxuan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"It's not impossible, as long as you don't make such mistakes again in the future."

"How not to make mistakes?" Prime Minister Pan Jun asked, "The temperament of the immortals is probably that they have to knock on the temple every once in a while. I hold a high position among them, and I know very well the urine nature of most people."

"Those who hold power are not good people."

Qingxuan shook his head again and said: "That's why I say you don't understand Immortals. Immortals have lived for more than five thousand years and have long been accustomed to human nature. They can tolerate and understand human nature, and they can leave some room for humanity."

This kind of tolerance for corruption in public and private affairs is the generosity left by immortals to human nature.

It's not that you can't score a point, but you can't use any power. As long as you don't break through the bottom line, Immortal Palace has always turned a blind eye.

"If you absolutely obey the orders of the Immortal, you will not make mistakes?" Prime Minister Pan Jun asked.

"Yes, and also wrong."

Qingxuan shook his head and said: "The immortal said something, I cannot support the peace of the world alone, but people will only remember the first place. I thought about whether I was Qingtian. I went around the world and found that

no."

"Most of the problems are not solved by me, but by knights, good officials, and countless people with conscience. I think my greatest contribution is to prevent them from bleeding because of their conscience."

Qingxuan repeated what he said back then.

Even today when he rereads this passage, Qingxuan can feel the great wisdom in it, truly seeing through the world of mortals.

There used to be sword sects in troubled times, and immortal sects in floods, but now there are also good people like that former criminal policeman who is now a company officer.

There is no shortage of good people in the world, but good people do not live long.

Without these good people, when everyone does not distinguish between good and evil and takes pride in evil, even immortals will be unable to survive alone.

If there were no immortals, would the world be peaceful?

The answer is yes, but it will take a lot of blood and countless failures to gain short-term peace.

Preventing the blood of good people is the immortal's greatest achievement.

Prime Minister Pan Jun was silent for a while and sighed: "Sometimes being a good person is the highest requirement. It is better for the temple to strictly abide by and satisfy the orders of the immortal."

He considers himself a good person, but he never believes that all those in power in the future will be.

"Many people thought the same way at that time." Qingxuan couldn't deny it, and then asked: "Taking history as a guide, the prime minister would like to hear a period of history in the world of cultivation, after the flood of the Immortal Dao."

"Maybe when you see the era under Immortal Chang's rule, you won't be so scared."

At that time, after the great flood, the human race began to enter a new era under the governance of the Immortal Palace.

Compared with the era of dynastic rule, public security is better, people are more dignified, and law enforcement is stricter.

But the immortal was not satisfied.

In the past, I couldn't see and therefore couldn't control. Now that I really control the world, I have to do a good job with my immortal temperament. Moreover, the human race is still wandering on the line of food and clothing. Once food cannot be harvested in a certain place, famine will soon occur.

The shortage of resources inevitably leads to the emergence of various evil forces.

Just like what happened not long ago, the Immortal Sect at the top will not oppress the people, but in the major city lords' mansions, they act recklessly because of their negligence in management.

In the end, turmoil broke out, and the Immortal Palace suppressed it. In the end, the black gauze hat fell on the ground.

Prime Minister Pan Jun did not refuse.

This incident made him realize that the Immortal was not a good old man, but a strong man who brought peace to troubled times, a powerful man who had dominated for thousands of years.

The other person's preferences are very important.

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Pan Jun felt a trance in front of his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a bamboo forest.

In the distance, there is a Taoist in green shirt sitting cross-legged on the ground playing the harp. In front of him, the Taoist and the monk are fighting.

You can tell from the face that the Taoist priest is Qingxuan, and his face is more childish. The monk's face is extremely handsome, with red lips and white teeth, and a solemn statue.

Qingxuan pinned the monk down, and the monk had no room to resist.

Prime Minister Pan Jun could not recognize the person who was crossing the world, so he asked: "Taoist Priest Qingxuan, is this after the flood? Why are you still so young?"

According to official calculations, Taoist Qingxuan should have been approaching his end of life after the Immortal Flood. If not that he would burp right away, at least he would not be so immature.

"This is a lock screen memory that Pindao often takes out to appreciate. By the way, that monk is the one who has transcended the world."

Qingxuan admired it for a few times, and then led Prime Minister Pan Jun through the bamboo forest. In an instant, the two of them stood in an ancient city.

People were wearing coarse linen clothes, some were carrying bamboo baskets, some were carrying cloth bags, some were shouting to do business on the street, and there were even beggars begging.

Prime Minister Pan Jun looked into the distance and saw a huge city wall of at least 100 meters, with monks flying past with swords.

Suddenly, a stench hit my face. The street was obviously clean, but I didn't know where the stench came from.

Taoist Qingxuan explained: "Because there are too many people living in the city, feces pile up into mountains, and when the wind direction changes, the whole city becomes unbearable. This could have been solved through geomantic exploration and formation techniques. But

After saying that, another stench hit his face, and Prime Minister Pan Jun almost couldn't help but spit out.

The age of immortals is somewhat flavorful.

————————

Prime Minister Pan Jun, under the leadership of Du Shi, selected one of the more distinctive cities to conduct a field investigation of human geography.

Although it is from Qingxuan's perspective, the memory of the transformed god is enough to simulate a virtual reality.

The city they inspected was called Yundong City, a city located in the southeastern region of Tianzhou.

The name of the city comes from the clouds coming from the east. Qingxuan added: "The names of all cities were given by the immortal. He said that when he saw the clouds coming from the east, he thought of an old friend."

Prime Minister Pan Jun probably knew who it was without having to guess, as the Sword Immortal was already dead at this time.

There is a stone tablet erected everywhere in Yundong City, which is 10 meters high and five meters wide, with densely written words engraved on it.

The two stood in front of the stone tablet, looking up at the words on it.
