Chapter sixty-four
Qiancheng County, Demonic Office.
The two of them rode the wind to this continuous palace standing in the middle of the majestic city. Like Jingpingwei, the Demonic Sect was established for the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty and to deal with the endless extraordinary phenomena in various places.
The difference between the two is the identity of the members. Jingpingwei absorbed some Taoist sects, scattered cultivators, and the Demon Slaying Secret is an extraordinary power carefully cultivated by the great man and the elite children of all the top Taoist veins.
As for why the two troops are, it is the way to check and balance the imperial power. From the personnel composition of the two, we know that they do not like each other, and some areas are even as powerful as water and fire.
After Wu Ming asked for the Laoshan jade pendant, the two were invited in. He looked at the place while walking. Artificially digging a canal through the middle of the palace. Stone pillars supported the magnificent roof of the hall. The outer wall was not decorated too much, simple and flat, looking magnificent and tall, and covering a vast area.
When he arrived at the Welcoming Hall, the servants presented a few cups of spiritual tea, a gentle and innocent young man walked out and bowed and said, "He is Shang Yan, the inner gate of Xiaxue Palace, and is now the chief clerk of the Demon Sect. I wonder what the two fellow Taoists of Laoshan are coming?"
Wu Ming was not surprised to hear this. Jixia Academy was rooted in Qi State. Although Qiancheng County was divided, there were still remnants. If he was performing tasks in Jinan and Pingyuan counties, then he would be the senior brother of Laoshan.
In addition, the commanders of the County Jingpingwei and the Demon Dangshi were both 2,000 stones, with a high level of cultivation of three. They were in seclusion for a long time and remained in a state of affairs. A chief clerk came to receive him, which was considered a high treatment.
"I have met Master Shang." The two of them stood up and returned the salute, and Liu Zhaojun said, "My surname is Liu. I came here this time to ask about the traces of my friend Jiang Han."
"Jiang Han..." The scholar of Ruyi said, and suddenly realized, "But Taoist Jiang? She did come here two months ago, but after completing the mission, she returned the official seal and left."
Hearing this, the two looked at each other and eliminated the possibility of something happening before Jiang Han arrived in Qiancheng County. They quickly asked: "When did she hand over and leave, and why did Jiang Han's arrival not be recorded on the mission."
"Is this... Could something happened to her?" Shang Zhuan tasted some taste from the words of the two, and recalled seriously: "That day she came to hand over the official seal, and seemed to be in a hurry. Before I came out to greet her, she left. I didn't think much about it at that time, and the inspector's official seal was put away without any problem."
"As for the task case..." He apologized: "We didn't see it. It was submitted by the immortal official of Dongzou County. This time the evil ghosts happened in Dongzou County. These things were all for the purpose of their subordinates. If you have any problems, you will pass it."
Bureaucrats, Wu Ming said with a tweet. Actually, it is normal to think about it. If he is the chief clerk, he doesn’t want to pay attention to these repetitive trivial matters. He does key tasks and get a salary to practice hard.
They are also human beings who may not be able to do their best. Besides, who would believe that a Taoist priest and immortal master fell into trouble? So why are reality anti-intellectuals? There are too many factors that entanglement, which leads to the development of things becoming more and more bizarre.
Liu Zhaojun couldn't help but ask, "Who were the bureaucrats who handed over the official seal and the reviewers?"
Shang Yan said sincerely: "Master Liu, don't worry, I'll bring them over now, and be sure to find out the matter."
Then he pinched a magic trick, and a stroke of magic appeared and flew out of the window. Not long after, a young man in a Taoist robe and a fair-faced face came in at the door.
His eyes were slightly bright, his spirit was very unusual, and he had a pure and ethereal aura on his body. Wu Ming's spiritual consciousness sensed it. As expected, his spirit was strong, his eyebrows were like a cluster of torches, and he was a Taoist disciple.
The young Taoist disciple bowed and said, "I don't know what happened to the chief clerk call me?"
Shangyan described the incident and introduced the two.
"I have met two Taoist priests." The Taoist priest frowned and said, "I handed over the official seal that day. The one I met was indeed Taoist Jiang. It was also me who reviewed the task case. The task document was brought by Taoist Jiang himself. I also asked specifically whether to write her participation in it, but Taoist Jiang refused, saying that he had no achievements and could not be a shameful contribution."
These words were beyond the expectations of the three of them. They thought that the immortal official in Dongzou County was deliberately hiding something, but they didn't expect that it was Jiang Han who did it on purpose, and now there are many more suspicious points.
Shang Yan was silent and gave up and let the Taoist disciple go down.
He seemed to have made gestures and cast spells just now, and turned around and affirmed to the two of them: "He did not lie."
Jixia Academy pays attention to morality and has many magic tricks to test your mind. Shangyan's words have a certain credibility. Moreover, Wu Ming's sixth sense also realized that the Taoist disciples were talking about the truth.
The two of them hesitated. Liu Zhaojun even wondered if it was Jiang Han who discovered some treasure and deliberately concealed the signs, and was secretly digesting them in a secret place.
Wu Ming recalled the phenomenon of observing fortunes and suggested to Liu Zhaojun: "Maybe someone is pretending to be Taoist priest Jiang, and the Taoist practices of Taoists may not be able to see through it. Let's go to Dongzou County to search."
Seeing this, Shang Zhuan said seriously: "Since that's the case, if there is anything, our company will fully support it."
"I'm asking for something." Wu Ming suddenly interrupted, "I want to be the official position of the Supervisor of the Demons."
"This..." Shang Yan looked puzzled. Normally, even a demon slayer with a rank of 600 stones must have a serious procedure to give the Taoist priests, such as having a special task.
A supervisor like Wu Ming who is just looking for personal affairs, even if he is given a devil's envoy, he will play the edge ball, not to mention a supervising envoy who is more powerful than a thousand stones.
Moreover, in the Han Dynasty, the official positions of 600 to 1,000 stones are no longer simple. The copper seal and ink ribbon are itself a method tool, and it can also call a certain dynasty dragon energy within the scope of authority to suppress all kinds of magical and arrogant people. It is very important.
He was about to refuse, but Wu Ming smiled and said, "In Wu Ziwu in Jinan, Chen Ping, one of the nine ministers, is my teacher."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yan was shocked, and his attitude immediately changed by 180 degrees and said: "It turned out that it was Brother Wu who was in front of him, and my senior brother was also under Chen Qing's disciple. We were related to each other. In this case, the supervisory officer's seal will be temporarily lent to you."
With the guarantee of a political giant like Jiuqing, you can take whatever you want below one thousand stones. Don’t say that if Wu Ming went to surrender to the teacher now, Chen Ping could even leak a few 2,000 stones from his fingers with his eyes closed.
Because the Han Dynasty was popular in the imperial examination system, it had a strong sense of dual monarchy, and nepotism was very common.
Shang Zhuan was not vague and quickly turned around and took out a jade box from the room. The supervisor of the county devil's office was set up temporarily and was specially designed for self-inspection of the department. At least the director must give it to him personally.
However, a monk with supernatural powers has been in seclusion for many years and is not considered an offence to be granted by the chief clerk.
Wu Ming opened the jade box and lay an exquisite bronze official seal inside. A black belt tied with a crystal luster. It was engraved with the seven words "June Dang Demons Supervision Commander". It was carrying a turtle on the back, and the bright and shiny light was circulated. It was also a medium magic weapon with six restrictions.
He picked it up, injected magic power, and a heavy and majestic aura filled his vaguely.
…………
On the other side, the young Taoist priest left the Welcoming Hall with a strange look, and his steps were in a hurry, turning left and right, gradually leaving the Demon Striving Office station.
He looked back at the thick and high wall behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the young Taoist disciple found a remote place, took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, gritted his teeth and injected it into his spirituality, and suddenly turned into a paper bird, flying away with his agile wings.
Just as the Taoist disciple gradually felt relieved, he suddenly shouted sternly behind him: "Zeng Rong, what are you doing?!"
Zeng Daotu was shocked and turned around and looked at it. He was shocked to find that at some point, the Shang chief clerk of the department, Daxiong was standing there.
Then he suddenly looked at the sky, and two Taoist priests in blue and white Taoist robe rode on the wind, turning into a layer of light curtains in their sleeves to stop the paper bird.
"You... this?" said the Taoist disciple Zeng Rong.
The three of them were calm. When the other party left, they all used various means to monitor the follow-up actions of the Taoist disciples, and they indeed showed some clues.
Wu Ming played with the copper seal in his hand, and on the side was a paper bird wrapped in magic power that was still trying to shake his wings away. He looked down at the other party and said indifferently: "Tell me, what's going on?"
