Celestial Immortal

Chapter 919 The dust settles!Emperor's Dark Guard

The little ghost was very sad.

He was even more sad than when he learned that his dreams were broken and he couldn't become Little Thunder God. The little three-inch radish completely broke his defenses, and his crying was earth-shattering.

Seeing that the little devil was really sad, Chu Chen immediately suppressed the smile in his chest.

He took out a large box of spiritual incense from the Bracelet Immortal Mansion, and gave it to the little ghost to comfort him.

At this time, the little ghost has just broken through the third grade of Taoism, and his realm is unstable. He is overjoyed and sad, which is not a good thing for him. If he is not careful, his practice will be easily affected.

"Little ghost, don't cry. Before we leave Beijing, we will definitely meet with Mr. Ming Jing. Then you kowtow again, and with the good news of your breakthrough in Taoism, you will definitely win more favors."

"Oh, yes, this is more or less the same."

Hearing the comforting words, and seeing a large box of spiritual incense in the hands of the senior brother, the little ghost stopped crying immediately, and with tears in his eyes, it took the spiritual incense from Chu Chen's hand with a happy smile, sniffed it, and was very intoxicated:
"Senior brother still loves me."

Chu Chen smiled, little guy, it's so cute.

He remembered that the spirit incense rewarded to the little ghost this time was confiscated by Master Xu Ping.
The breakthrough scene of the Ear Report Fairy Boy was far less dramatic than that of a serious practitioner of the Eight Classics who broke through to the third rank, and did not cause any sensational scenes.

But, Taoist Changfeng knew that the little ghost boy's breakthrough was imminent a few days ago, when he saw the thunderous vision of heaven and earth around the monastery, he guessed something, and immediately came to the door to congratulate him.

"Ling Xiao, little devil, congratulations!"

Speaking of which, after half a year of subterranean training in the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy, as Chu Chen became more and more intimate with his old boss "Changfeng Taoist", the little ghost boy's preferences were naturally known to everyone.

As soon as Taoist Changfeng entered the cave and saw the little ghost, he knew that his guess was correct, and immediately gave him a congratulatory gift.

It was a big box with a length of six feet and a width of three feet, and it was full of various rare and precious high-level spiritual incenses, worth at least a hundred thousand jade, which was very valuable.

"Thank you, Master Shan!"

Seeing that there was another big box of spiritual incense, the sadness in his heart was gone long ago, and he was overjoyed. However, the little ghost didn't rush over immediately, but peeked at his senior brother.

It seems that he is seeking the opinion of his senior brother.

After all, the big box of spiritual incense in front of him, even the little ghost boy, knows that the value is too expensive, and it is not easy to accept it casually.

"Brother, hehehe."

Chu Chen couldn't help laughing when he saw the little devil boy's tangled appearance, which was clearly moved and suppressed:
"Thank you, Brother Changfeng."

If he was still the little monk back then, facing a treasure worth tens of thousands of jade, he would never let the little ghost accept it at will.

However, when it comes to the upper third grade of Taoism, this is nothing.

"Pfft!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Ouch~ Fellow Daoist, little devil, you can't do it, you can't do it."

Over the years, as the little ghost was promoted to the realm of great supernatural powers, under the strong criticism from Chu Chen and Xu Ping, the little ghost kowtowed less obviously.

Taoist Changfeng obviously had never seen such a battle before, so he was shocked
"Hahaha~ Brother Changfeng, it's just like this, don't need to pay attention to it."

Chu Chen smiled and led Taoist Changfeng into the living room, ignoring the little ghost who plunged into the big box and rolled and howled.

Speaking of which, in order to protect the little ghost boy, Chu Chen isolated the news from the outside world for half a month, and knew little about the outside world.

Along the way, the two talked and laughed, discussing recent events in the imperial capital.

Five days ago, Fengminghou himself surrendered his military power and returned to the imperial capital to plead guilty to Mr. Mingjing, saying that his lack of discipline and discipline caused the people of Tianyihou's lineage to commit the crime of stealing the country and disobedience, and asked Mingjing emperor to punish Yunyun.
Perhaps it was Fengminghou who readily cooperated in handing over the military power, and did not cause subsequent turmoil, which made Mr. Mingjing quite satisfied, and Fengminghou's mansion was able to escape the catastrophe.

However, it was Fengminghou's lineage that escaped the disaster, and the other main lineage of Tianyihouhou was not so lucky. The three generations of Nie Zhen's direct lineage were all executed, and the rest were exiled for thousands of miles.

Of course, Fengminghou's mansion can be exempted from capital crimes, but living crimes cannot be escaped.

Except for Lao Fengminghou who was dismissed, all the generals, officials, and officials in the court of the Houfu were implicated. They were either dismissed or demoted, and their official careers and immortal careers were greatly affected.

In the past, the Fengminghou Mansion, which was in full swing, was precarious and crumbling overnight.

Chu Chen smiled: "Feng Minghou still knows current affairs."

"Nie Zhen committed public anger and touched everyone's interests. No one supported him. He wanted to make troubles, but he couldn't make waves."

Taoist Changfeng was quite emotional and said:

"A thousand-year-old family, ten-thousand-year wealth, the old Fengminghou is not too old. In recent years, the Houfu has declined, and there is still a chance to rise in 50 years. How can he die."

"It is."

Chu Chen nodded slightly, there was no abnormality on his face.

He had already expected that the old Fengminghou's mansion would escape the catastrophe and linger on.

What Mr. Ming Jing is most concerned about is to take back the military power, weaken the authority of the princes and nobles, and strengthen the centralization of power. The old Feng Minghou honestly handed over his military power, admitted his mistakes and was beaten.

This is all expected and not surprising.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chu Chen is not afraid of the Fengminghou Mansion, no matter what the Fengminghou Mansion is, he has the confidence to deal with it.

The two of them didn't chat much about Fengminghou's mansion.

Soon, the conversation between the two quickly shifted to the Xianting Gaogong Conference.

The Xianting High-Gong Conference is held every five years. All the high-gong seniors of Xianting attend and discuss, and decide on the nine elders, elders, and alternate elders of the Xianting Central Presbyterian House. This is the most important court meeting in Xianting.

These days, Chu Chen tried his best to protect the dharma for the little ghost, and the outside fairy court high-gong conference was in full swing.

Perhaps because of the mention of the Xianting High-Gong Gong Conference, Taoist Changfeng had a thick smile on his face and congratulated Chu Chen:

"Ling Xiao, congratulations!"

Chu Chen shivered, looking forward to it:

"Brother Changfeng, could it be that I was selected as the elder of the elders of the Xianting Central Elder?"

"Exactly!"

Taoist Changfeng smiled loudly: "You entered the Xianting Central Elder's Home very smoothly. After being nominated by fellow Taoist Yulou, you didn't encounter much help. You were elected with a high number of votes. Now you are playing for Your Majesty. It must be sure."

Chu Chen smiled knowingly.

Although he had already guessed that he would be able to enter the Elders' Home in Xianting Central this time, but when the dust settled, he was also a little excited in his heart.

To become the Elder of the Immortal Court Elder, that is to truly become a high-ranking elder in the Immortal Court, with a respected status.

The most important thing is that becoming an elder of the presbytery means that you have the qualifications to compete for the place of Ascension Conferred God.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen was gifted with a good chance and had a great journey to immortality, but he did not hang himself on the tree of "proving the Tao and becoming an immortal". In the past, Mr. Qingyun was a good example. If he practiced martial arts, he would not be impatient , Forced through the catastrophe, and finally lost his soul.

This belongs to the back road, and it is also the best way to enter the world of mortals and practice virtue.

Of course, not all the news that Taoist Changfeng brought was good news.

To be precise, there are good and bad.

The bad news is that his immortal post really went to waste.

In the follow-up tweets, there was a lot of trouble about his position as a third-rank immortal.

An older generation, Xianting Gao Gong, nominated him to be the supervisor of any state, the head of the Taoist Academy, and even the governor of the state, but the proposal was not approved, which caused a big wave.

There are various reasons for objection, among which the most mainstream objection is that he is too young, and it would be best to practice for a few more years.

"Ling Xiao, you don't need to care too much. As long as you become the elder of Xianting Elder, once there is a vacancy, you can fill it at any time. There are plenty of opportunities."

Taoist Changfeng comforted him.

"Well, I know."

Chu Chen had expected it in his heart, but he didn't care too much, and smiled freely:
"It doesn't matter if I didn't run for the position of a third-rank immortal. If I don't have a position, I'm light. I just have time to revive the sect and carry forward the Lingshan sect."

"This"

Taoist Changfeng originally wanted to continue to comfort Chu Chen, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly became strange.

As far as he knew, the Tianxin faction was very vocal in blocking Chu Chen's promotion to the third-rank immortal position at the Immortal Court Conference, and even mobilized their connections
This time, it can be said that he lifted a rock and hit himself in the foot.

If the Tianxin faction knew about Chu Chen's plan, they would not know how they would feel.

Soon after, Taoist Changfeng left the cave.

After some chatting, Chu Chen had a certain understanding of the big and small things that happened in the Celestial Court recently.

No accidents happened, Yulou real person resigned from Xianting Celestial Master, chief elder, but still occupied the seat of nine elders, the next step is to transfer to the head of the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy to train reserve talents for the Celestial Court.

Obviously, facing the complicated situation of the imperial court, Mr. Mingjing felt that "no one could use it", so he arranged Taoist Yulou in the Taoist Temple of the Imperial Capital to lay the foundation for him to take over the divine weapon in the future.

After all, Chu Chen is a different kind, and he is far from being a "disciple of the Son of Heaven" in the same period, so he cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

Taoist Changfeng has just been transferred to the Taoist Temple of the Imperial Capital, and his post of immortal has basically not changed.

The newly appointed Xianting celestial master is named "Gu Tong", and the world respectfully calls him "Gu Tong Zhenren". He was born in the holy place of Taoism [Yuhuangguan].

It is said that this "Gutong real person" has a good friendship with Tianxin.

This is not good news for Chu Chen.

However, after inquiring about it, he didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, Mr. Ming Jing once crossed the line with his mouth and gave him reassurance, so he doesn't need to worry about meddling from above and pulling him sideways.

In addition, he happened to have no immortal post, so he was not subject to any restrictions, let alone pay attention to it.

Next, Chu Chen was busy congratulating his friends and old friends.

Master Huixin and Xuanfengzi were trapped in Heiwuyuan for four years because of chasing and killing the God of Plague. They were good assistant envoys of the demon and a good job as a minister.

Master Huixin resumed his post, and planned to be the deputy envoy of the Demon Academy, and a minister. Xuanfengzi was even more outstanding.

The news of the promotion of the two is extremely reliable, just waiting for the decree to come down.

When Chu Chen heard the news, he immediately congratulated the two of them and exchanged pleasantries.

In addition, what surprised Chu Chen the most was that his younger brother Pengju's father-in-law, Tang Boqing, Minister of the Ministry of War, was also transferred this time, to the six desolate states in the northwest, "the strategy of the last three states".

The latter three prefectures refer to the better-developed three prefectures among the six desolate prefectures in the northwest opened up by Emperor Lingwei 20 years ago.

The post of "Governor" is similar to that of "Governor". It is in charge of the government affairs of the three barren prefectures in the northwest, and is fully responsible for the strategy and consolidation of the three prefectures. It is a prominent and important position.

The six ministers are only one step away from entering the cabinet, but in fact there are many secret thresholds,

However, if Tang Boqing was released to other places and served as the governor of the three states in the northwest, and made some achievements, he would enter the cabinet at that time, and his competitiveness as an important minister of Zuoguo would be greatly improved.

It can be said that after ten years, Tang Boqing, the younger brother Pengju's father-in-law, has come a step closer.

At this level, taking a small step is likely to be the difference between heaven and earth.

"Brother, shall we go to the Tang Mansion to congratulate?"

The little ghost is eager to try, looking forward to it.

In the past few days, when my seniors visit friends, others congratulate it, and they send incense, and it congratulates others, and they also send incense.

Anyway, no matter what, there is Lingxiang to take, it is really profitable, after a few days, it has made a fortune.

"Haha~"

Chu Chen saw through the little ghost's little thoughts, and secretly thought it was funny.

"Let's go, Uncle Tang is promoted, how can we not congratulate him?"

While speaking, Chu Chen took the little ghost out of the house.

However, as soon as he left the mansion, he was taken aback.

There was no other reason, a figure just landed in front of his cave.

The visitor was dressed in white clothes like snow, elegant and calm, like a teacher in an academy.

Before Chu Chen could open his mouth, the little devil's knees softened, and he kowtowed along with Xiao Jinlian, Qinglong, Dutian and other magical boys.

"Boom boom boom!"

"dong dong dong"

A group of three-inch radish kowtowed, the scene was quite shocking.

Mr. Ming Jing obviously had never seen such a scene before, and was slightly absent-minded.

"Cough, cough, sir, don't be surprised, don't be surprised, please come inside."

Chu Chen secretly felt ashamed, so without saying a word, he took three steps in parallel to invite him into the cave.

"Sir, why are you here?"

The person who came was none other than the Emperor Dachang. Mr. Ming Jing made a private visit in disguise.

"Fellow Daoist He Yulou came to the Taoist temple for inspection, so come and sit here by the way."

Mr. Ming Jing smiled and asked:

"You must have known the result of the Immortal Court's court discussion. Why, are you a little disappointed?"

Chu Chen has been asked many times in the past few days, without any emotion on his face, he shook his head and said:

"All the high-skilled Taoist friends in Xianting are right. I am young now, so there is no need to worry. Just in time, I plan to move the master's Lingshan sect to Yunzhou, reopen the mountain gate, and revitalize Lingshan!"

"Ok!"

Mr. Ming Jing knew about this, so he was not surprised by Chu Chen's reaction, but now he shook his head and said:
"I support you in reorganizing the Lingshan School, but you don't need to do everything yourself, and the burden on you still cannot be relieved."

Chu Chen was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

What does it mean that the burden cannot be lifted?
"Sir, what do you mean?"

Mr. Ming Jing didn't answer Chu Chen's doubts, smiled, and asked again:

"Ling Xiao, your dark hands in the extraterrestrial demons have been exposed now?"

Chu Chen shook his head.

Not only did he not get exposed, but instead he infiltrated the high-level circle of Luo Guixiang in the extraterrestrial demon realm.

"That's good!"

After all, Mr. Ming Jing fumbled from his sleeve, took out a token, and handed it to Chu Chen:
"The eight states in the southwest, I'll leave it to you."

After handing over the token to Chu Chen, before Chu Chen could ask, Mr. Ming Jing flickered and disappeared.

Soon, the little ghost broke in again.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother~Mr. Ming Jing rewarded me with a lot of spiritual incense, hahahaha, there are eunuchs outside bringing a carload of spiritual incense, hahaha, I have made a fortune."

"Also, also, I was promoted again and became a third-rank immortal official, hahahaha, the third-rank high-gong robe is really impressive."

The little ghost was chattering in his ear, showing off constantly, very happy.

However, Chu Chen ignored the little ghost, but looked down at the token.

"This is."

On the token, there are three big characters [Jinlongwei] engraved impressively, and on the back, there are the words "Eight Prefectures Supervision".

"Emperor's Dark Guard!"
