Two treasure maps

Chapter 115 The Real and Fake Guo Lingli (Part )

At the moment Guo Lingli left, the air around her seemed to freeze, the leaves stopped swaying, and even the wind held its breath. Not long after, a green figure floated in from afar and landed lightly under the tree where she had just been lying. The green-shirted man was not wearing the exaggerated Taoist robe of a crane, and the whisk in his hand also looked plain and unadorned, without any intention of showing off.

He began to search carefully under the tree and around it, his eyes revealing a bit of urgency and confusion. However, no matter how carefully he searched, he could not find Guo Lingli. In desperation, he had to use his magic power, close his eyes, and concentrate on sensing Guo Lingli's breath. After a moment, he frowned, because he found that Guo Lingli's breath suddenly stopped at a certain point, as if she had completely disappeared from this world.

The man in green was Taoist Shanlan, who was ordered to come here to carry out a mission. Originally, he should have practiced leisurely in the high 26th heaven, enjoying the tranquility and freedom. But because he accepted the task of retrieving the treasure map for the Jade Emperor, he was trapped in a series of subsequent trivial matters. Recalling the scene when he brought Guo Lingli back to Taiji Palace out of impulse, Taoist Shanlan couldn't help but feel depressed.

Originally, Guo Lingli served as the Heyan Jade Maiden in Taiji Palace, and everything should have ended there. But fate always likes to play tricks on people, and she was dragged into an unknown time and space for seven years. After finally bringing her back from that time and space, she was lost in the blink of an eye. All this made Taoist Shanlan feel extremely helpless and headache.

In desperation, Taoist Shanlan remembered the instructions of Master Jun. Master Jun had told him that if Heyan Jade Girl had any accident and he couldn't handle it, he should go to Xiuguo's Xiuhuang for help. However, they were no longer in Xiuguo's territory at this time, and he didn't know if it would be useful to ask Xiuhuang for help. But since Master Jun had given instructions, he decided to give it a try.

So, Taoist Shanlan decided to go to Xiuguo.

He knew that in recent years, driven by the national policy of cultivating immortals, the trend of cultivating immortals has prevailed in the country, and the cultivating immortal families have also developed from the original six surnames and six families to the current sixteen surnames and sixteen families.

Each Xiuxian family is jointly managed by the clan leader and the clan leader, with the clan leader responsible for affairs and the clan leader responsible for personnel. This management method makes the Xiuxian world in Xiuguo more standardized and orderly.

In Xiu Country, each clan has three clan leaders and three clan heads. They have clear division of labor and work together to maintain the operation of the clan.

The tribe leaders are responsible for the management of economy, resources and unexpected secret realms. The one in charge of economy is in charge of developing the tribe's economy freely; the one in charge of resources is mainly in charge of the resources allocated by the state; the one in charge of unexpected secret realms is also the top force in the tribe. They are not only the pioneers in exploring unexpected secret realms, but also the trump card to protect the tribe from being bullied.

The clan leaders are responsible for education, criminal law, and the management of female relatives. Those in charge of education are mainly responsible for first-time offenders or young children; those in charge of criminal law are mainly responsible for crimes or those who refuse to change after repeated education; those in charge of female relatives are relatively fair in the management of immortal cultivators in Xiuguo, especially the treatment of female relatives, which is much more relaxed than other immortal cultivation countries. In terms of marriage autonomy, whether it is marriage or divorce, it is mostly voluntary, and it cannot be changed unless they become Taoist couples.

But if they become a Taoist couple, they will be protected. If a man makes a mistake, his personal assets will belong to the female family members, and the woman will be sent to the foot of Luding Peak. The foot of Luding Peak is a gathering place for women, not a luding. If a woman makes a mistake, her personal assets will belong to the man, and the woman will be sent to Luding Peak to become a luding directly. There are also some who refuse to change their ways despite repeated admonitions, and will be directly assigned to the group of men, fighting for the sky and the land like men. If they can walk out of the path of becoming a strong person, Xiuguo will also give women a chance, and it is not impossible for them to be granted official positions and promoted to titles.

However, the restrictions imposed by Xiuguo on each layer of heaven are very strict. The first layer of heaven is the mortal world. Cultivators are not allowed to harm mortals at will. Mortals have their own laws, and cultivators who participate will be retaliated against.

The second to fifth heavens are state-family management. In addition to a state agency, each family occupies its own position and is in charge of its own affairs.

The various levels of heaven do not interfere with each other. Just because there is a strong person in a family does not mean that he can infinitely crush other families. You can only crush other families in this level of heaven. If it is too much, state agencies will intervene. Therefore, there is no absolutely strong person.

Of course, if this strong person is really strong and has passed the test of the national institutions of this layer, he can be directly upgraded to a cultivator of the same family in the upper layer, and abide by the rules of the game in the upper layer;

Above the fifth layer, the sect management system is adopted, and the attitude towards outsiders is very tough. No matter who it is, if they come to the airspace of Xiuguo, they will be shot down directly. They will either surrender and serve Xiuguo, or be trapped and become the nourishment of Xiuguo, or their own sect or master will come to redeem them personally. Such regulations make many gods dare not pass through Xiuguo easily.

Even if Taoist Shanlan wants to find Emperor Xiu, he must go through formal channels, go to Chaotianfang, report the forces behind him, and get a pass before he can successfully enter the territory of Xiuguo. Then, after reporting through layers of reports, he can see Emperor Xiu and seek help.

At this time, Xiu Huang, who was being remembered by Taoist Shanlan, was holding a skull pendant about one centimeter in size in his hand with a solemn expression. A wisp of black smoke slowly rose from the pendant, accompanied by the low voice of Tianshi Zhong Kui.

"After graduating, Guo Lingli was secretly taken away by people from Taiji Palace." Zhong Kui's voice was a little deep. "At the same time, Master Jingyun was also sent into reincarnation. His soul was placed in the body of a little girl who looked similar to Guo Lingli. His original memories were erased and replaced with Guo Lingli's memories before she was seven years old. Then, the little girl was sent to Guojiazhuang."

Xiu Huang frowned slightly, and the scene of Guojiazhuang emerged in his mind. That quiet and simple little village seemed isolated from the world, but it hid many secrets.

"Guo Feipeng from Guojiazhuang originally passed the examination to become a scholar with the help of the six major immortal cultivation families, and later became a juren." Zhong Kui continued, "His mother insisted on staying in Guojiazhuang and refused to move out because she always believed that Guo Lingli would come back. Guo Feipeng also stayed there because of his mother's insistence."

"Since in their eyes, Guo Lingli has already returned, then the original situation has been broken." Xiu Huang spoke slowly, with a hint of contemplation in his voice, "But where did the real Guo Lingli go? Do you know?"

Zhong Kui was silent for a while, then replied: "She went to Balongling. However, there is already a Guo Lingli who has been in Balongling for five years. As for her identity there, I am not sure yet."

Xiu Huang tapped the armrest habitually, thinking about the current situation. He knew that there were five Guo Lingli. He had prepared a backup for himself, one for the Buddhist world, one for the Taoist world, one for the Taiji Palace, and one for the Tianshi Sect. What were they going to do? Why were they all targeting Guo Lingli? He must have overlooked something.

His eyes revealed a deep thought. He knew that this matter was much more complicated than he had imagined. The five Guo Lingli were prepared by different forces. What kind of conspiracy and purpose was hidden behind this?

"You don't need to worry about this matter anymore." Xiu Huang finally ordered, "Keep an eye on Guo Lingli from Guojiazhuang. I always feel that her return is a little unusual. Perhaps she is hiding some secrets that we don't know."

Zhong Kui responded and then cut off the connection. The palace was once again quiet, with only the sound of Xiu Huang hitting the handrail echoing.
