Payiti, the legendary city of gold.

Just like Kunlun, Kunlun in a narrow sense is naturally the vast mountain range west of Kunlun Mountain Pass, and Kunlun in a broad sense also includes Kunlun Cave Heaven.

The same is true for Paiditi. In a broad sense, Paiditi includes the legendary holy city, the Forgotten City, and the Golden City. In a narrow sense, Paiditi is the new capital of Tavanting. In order to distinguish between the two, Xidaomen and Tavanting called the new capital that replaced Cusco, and the golden city is called the old Paiditi.

Qi Xuansu once got a map from Wang Jiaohe and also got a key from the baron, all of which were related to the old Payititi.

The key is how to get into the old Payititi.

However, this matter can be put aside for the time being, so don’t worry, the key is Xinpaitit.

The top traitor of Tavanting is in Xinpaititi.

The situation here is the most complicated.

Yujing is a city of Taoist priests, and the absolute central core of the Taoist sect. Although the three Taoists are jointly in charge and have a great master sect, in general, there are only Taoist sect forces in Yujing City.

The Imperial Capital is the absolute core of the Daxuan court. Although there are Taoist forces here, the Imperial Capital Dao Mansion ranks last among many Dao Mansions, and is essentially dominated by the Daxuan court. The last battle in the Five Elements Mountain was not just the power of the Imperial Capital Dao Mansion, but Jiang Dazhen came to take charge personally.

St. York is weaker than Emperor Jing, but there are two major forces, the Steam Gospel and the City Council, with the Steam Gospel as the main one and the City Council as the auxiliary one. However, the power of the Municipal Council is stronger than the Emperor Jing and has greater independence.

Xin Payiti has a full range of forces in the royal family, military, priests, and Xidaomen.

Maybe some people want to say that Yujing also has four forces, but it is actually completely different. No matter what, the three Taoist sects have many consensuses, such as recognizing that the Taishang Taoist ancestor is the founder of the Taoist sect and recognizing that Xuansheng is the ancestor of the Taoist sect's revival, but the several forces in Xinpayiti even find it difficult to gather such consensus, because Tawanting is essentially a complex of three empires.

The three empires failed differently.

The first empire, Nohpetten, was originally located in the Northern Continent and was destroyed the most thoroughly. The army had been completely destroyed, the royal family had also disappeared, and most of the people had even been cut off. However, the god system of the New Continent mainly originated from them. The ancient gods led by Kukulkan lost the war of gods and were defeated by the apostles of the Holy Court, but they were not

It died, so under the protection of the ancient gods, the priest class survived and moved south to the southern continent, and received help from the Xidaomen.

The second empire, Navatel, was located in the middle, which was at the junction of north and south. Its failure was very dramatic. In fact, they were perfectly executed by the Westerners. At that time, the Westerners met Navatel's emperor in the name of observance. The powerful gods hidden in the team suddenly took action, directly killed the emperor, and slaughtered the royal family. The entire empire fell into chaos and was soon occupied by the Holy Court. This led to Navatel's failure to resist effectively, and most of the army was retained, and later it was successively incorporated by the Xidaomen.

The third empire is Tavanting, located in the Southern Continent. Before the Holy Court had completely occupied the Southern Continent, it began to have internal conflicts due to uneven distribution of spoils. Therefore, Tavanting did not directly destroy like Nohpetten. It was just crippled by the Westerners and still retained the framework of an empire. Even the royal family was very complete. It claimed to be the descendants of the gods and had the functions of the priest class. It was somewhat similar to the emperor of the Central Plains dynasty, that is, the emperor and the gods. However, the ancient god Pachaka, who was believed in by Tavanting, had fallen and could no longer protect his descendants.

Based on the principle of uniting all available forces, Xidaomen combined the three together. Under the promotion of Xidaomen, Emperor Tavanting married Navatel's fallen princess, received allegiance from most of Navatel's army, and converted to Nohpetel's sun god Kukurkan, and accepted Nohpetel's priestly power.

Generally speaking, Tavanting believes in the main god Pachaka is the image of a fishman, while Nohpetten believes in the main god Kukurkan is the image of a feathered snake god. The two are obviously not the same god. It is only because Pachaka has fallen that Tavanting's royal family easily converts their beliefs.

As for Navatel's main god, it is not Kukulkan, but Weijilopotli. However, among the gods of Navatel, there is also a feathered snake god Kchalkoatl, who is a god with human nature. After careful "inquiry" by Xidaomen, it is believed that the feathered snake god Kchalkoatl is Kukulkan, and Weijilopotli has fallen, so most of the people in Navatel have converted to Kukulkan.

This is actually a deal reached between Xidaomen and Kukulkan. Xidaomen expanded their faith for Kukulkan. The ancient gods led by Kukulkan had to share the pressure for Xidaomen and were responsible for fighting the apostles of the Holy Court. However, Xidaomen was not unreserved. Most of the upper classes of the royal family accepted Kukulkan's protection, but the lower-level army was vigorously promoted. Xidaomen was vigorously promoted by Xidaomen.

There are many people who are original and worship the Tao.

Among the three giants of Xidaomen, Gong Fu's faction has the closest relationship with Navatel and has a great influence in the army; Dan Tai Zhenxiao faction and the priests of Nohpetten are closely related to the ancient gods behind them; the Huangfu family has close contact with the Tawanting royal family, and Huangfu Zhao is the prince's teacher. While converting to Kukurkan, the Tawanting royal family also accepted the concept of Taoism, believing that there are invisible "Tao" in the world, and learning classic articles of Confucianism.

This is the complex situation of Tawanting, which is far more complex than the three major Taoist traditions of the Taoist sect. At least there is no difference in belief in the three major Taoist traditions. Everyone recognizes the Supreme Taoist ancestor and Xuansheng, but there are differences in power. In other words, there is no doubt about who the ancestor is, the inheritance of the legal tradition, and there is no doubt about who is the master of the country.

On the other hand, the ancestors of Tawanting are not the same ancestors, and the inheritance of the legal tradition is all forced to be stitched together by the Western Door, which is simply a mess. It is better to push them all down and start over, and simply change them to the Xindao Gate, and they will be clean.

This is also the proposal of the three generations of the Li family. The Xidao Gate replaced the ancient gods such as Kukurkan, and the Xidao Gate returned to the Taoist Sect and incorporated Tawanting into the Taoist Sect system, just like Weiyuan Kingdom and Dayu Kingdom. Even considering the size and geographical location of Tawanting, it is possible to avoid entering the tribute system of the Daxuan court.

However, in this way, the Taoist sect will lose its moral status and have not performed the affairs of the Holy Court, but it has the reality of the Holy Court. It is just that eating is better than the Holy Court. Therefore, many people within the Taoist sect oppose it, believing that only cooperation should be carried out, harmonious development should not be carried out, and conquering should be done, which will cause disasters in the future.

The reason for this faction is also very realistic. The key is that Tawanting is too far away. The difficulty of governance increases sharply across thousands of miles of oceans. Even if you surrender to the Taoist sect, it will not be possible when the Taoist sect is at its peak. But once the Taoist sect declines, they cannot share hardships. If the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, they will inevitably break away from the Taoist sect system and establish their own businesses. Instead, they will become role models for Borneo and Fenglin sect, and make a bad start. This is a disaster.

Regarding this, the two factions have confronted each other many times.

The faction led by the Li family believes that the vast territory of the Central Plains was not born, but expanded by the ancestors bit by bit. We are just repeating the cause of our ancestors. If God does not take it, they will suffer the blame. If we can take over the Southern Continent, then in another two hundred years, the Taoist sect will be at its peak. Two hundred years will be enough to establish a sense of belonging and identity. We are not only able to kill people, educate and guide them, and be sages inside and kings outside.

Opposing factions believe that

The size of the domain is closely related to governance capabilities and traffic levels, and there is an upper limit.

At the beginning of the dynasty, the administration was clear and there was nothing that was not attentive, and no one was not working hard. It was just because of the hardships and hardships that time, and they could only seek a life from the deaths. Then gradually improved, they gradually became lazy, and the minority became the majority, and then laziness became the wind. Although there was great strength, it could not be reversed and difficult to remedy. It was also driven by the desire for achievements and desires, and the party fought against the differences. When talents gradually became exhausted and difficult to deal with, the situation became complicated.

This is an objective fact. If you just make big cakes and ignore internal problems, the bigger big cakes will only accelerate corruption and degeneration. So what about the Golden Horde in the past? It will not fall apart in the end? This is the lesson of the past. The Taoist sect for two hundred years was unable to be completely assimilated at the beginning of the Qingming Progress. How could you dare to say that the Taoist sect for two hundred years later when the two hundred years of hard work was not fully assimilated and completely assimilated Fenglinzhou, which has been learned from the Central Plains since the Daqi era.

In the end, no one could convince anyone. Because the enemy was on the side, the lessons of internal strife in the Holy Court were not far away, so it was difficult for one to fight in the internal strife first, so this issue was put on hold. The consensus within the Taoist Sect was that it would not be too late to discuss this issue when the Holy Court was driven away or the Western Taoist Sect really returned to the Taoist Sect.

Of course, if Tawanting takes the initiative to enter the Taoist sect system, it will not damage moral integrity and leave hidden dangers for the future. The Taoist sect will not refuse. He can seal Kukurkan as a true monarch, enjoy the incense, and is also a god of Taoist sect, and everyone is well.

However, the attitude of the Taoist sect towards Tawanting further aggravated the complex situation within Tawanting.

Because of the attitude of the Taoist sect, two views were derived from Tawanting and Xidao sect.

One sect advocates embracing the Taoist sect in an all-round way and becoming a member of the Taoist sect system. The Western Dao Sect is manifested as being willing to return to the Taoist sect. The other sect advocates maintaining autonomy and independence. It is only a friend relationship with the Taoist sect, while the Western Dao Sect is manifested as being unwilling to completely return to the Taoist sect and maintaining the status quo.

The components of these two factions are not easy to distinguish by simply belonging to the empire or family. Take the Gong family and the Dan Tai family as an example. The two parties are clearly divided in terms of power division, but in some opinions and ideas, there may be no family boundaries. Some members of the Gong family and some members of the Dan Tai family believe that they will return to the Taoist sect, while other members of the Gong family and another members of the Dan Tai family believe that they should maintain the status quo.

This is the real thing about you and I have you.

There is no clear attitude on the key Taoist sect yet.

Faced with such a complex situation, it would be a word "difficulty" for Qi Xuansu to reconcile in the middle.
