Celestial Immortal

  Chapter 919 Dust settled! Emperor's Dark Guard

  Little Guizai was very sad.

  Bi just learned that his dreams were shattered, and he was even more sad when he couldn't become Little Thunder.

  Chu Chen was really sad to see the little devil, and immediately suppressed the smile in his chest.

  Take out a large box of spiritual incense from the Bracelet Immortal Mansion, and give it to the little devil 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, you will definitely win more praise."

   "Oh, yeah, that's more or less the same."

  After listening to 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 Reporting Fairy Boy was far less dramatic than that of the Zhenger Eight Classics cultivator who broke through the upper third rank, and did not cause any sensational scenes.

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

   "Ling Xiao, little ghost, 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 sent a congratulatory gift.

   It was a big box six feet long and three feet wide, and it was full of all kinds of rare and precious high-level spiritual incense.

   "Thank you, Master Shan!"

   Seeing another big box of incense, the sadness in my heart has long since disappeared, and I am overjoyed, but, the little ghost didn't rush over immediately, but peeped 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 boy's tangled appearance, which was clearly moving 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 rank, this is nothing.

   "Plop!"

   "Boom boom boom!"

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

  In these 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 had obviously 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 chatted and laughed, discussing recent events in the imperial capital.

  Five days ago, Fengminghou himself really handed over his military power and returned to the imperial capital alone 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.

  Mr. Ming Jing was quite satisfied that Fengminghou's mansion was able to escape the catastrophe.

   It’s just that Fengminghou’s lineage escaped the disaster, while Tianyihou’s other main lineage 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, the Fengminghou Mansion is exempt from capital punishment, but living crime is inevitable.

  Except for Lao Fengminghou being 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 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, saying:

  "A thousand-year-old family, ten thousand years of wealth, the old Feng Minghou is not too old. In recent years, the Hou Mansion has declined, and there is still a chance to rise in fifty years. How can he die."

   "That's true."

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

  Old Fengminghou's mansion would escape the catastrophe and live on, he had expected it a long time ago.

  Mr. Mingjing is most concerned about taking back the military power, weakening the power of the princes and nobles, and strengthening the centralization of power. The old Feng Minghou honestly handed over his military power, admitted his mistakes and was beaten.

   This is all as 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 of the two quickly shifted to the Xianting Gaogong Conference.

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

   These days, Chu Chen is doing his best to protect the little ghost, and the outside world's fairy court high-gong conference is in full swing.

   Xu said that because of the mention of the Xianting Gaogong Conference, Changfeng Daoist had a thick smile on his face, and congratulated Chu Chen:

   "Ling Xiao, congratulations!"

  Chu Chen was stunned, 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 House very smoothly. After being nominated by fellow Taoist Yulou, you did not encounter much help. You were elected with a high number of votes. Now you are going to play His Majesty, and you must be sure."

   Chu Chen smiled knowingly.

  Although he had already guessed that he would be able to enter the Elders' Home in the Immortal Court this time, he was a little excited when the dust settled.

  Become the elder of the elders of the fairy court, that is to truly become a high-ranking elder in the fairy court and have a respected status.

  The most important thing is that becoming the elder of the presbytery means that you have the qualifications to compete for the place of ascending to the gods.

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 brought by Taoist Changfeng is good news.

   To be precise, there are good and bad.

  The bad news is that his post as a fairy has come to naught.

   In the follow-up tweet, 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 temple, 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 elders, 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 pay much attention to it, and smiled freely:

   "It doesn't matter if I didn't run for the third-rank immortal position, or if I don't have a position, 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 knows, 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 is lifting a rock to hit himself in the foot.

  If the Tianxin faction knew about Chu Chen's plan, I don't 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 accident happened, Yulou Zhenren resigned as the Celestial Master of the Celestial Court and the Chief Great Elder, but he still occupies the seat of the Nine Grand Elders. The next step is to transfer to the head of the Taoist Academy of the Imperial Capital 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" at the same time, so he cannot be entrusted with important tasks.

   Taoist Changfeng has just been transferred to the Taoist Temple of the Imperial Capital, and his position as a fairy has basically not changed.

  The newly-appointed Celestial Master of Xianting has the Taoist name "Gutong", and the world respectfully calls him "Gutong Zhenren".

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

  This is not good news for Chu Chen.

  However, after some inquiries, he didn't pay much attention.

  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.

  Furthermore, it happens that he does not have a fairy post, and he is 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. The good assistant envoy of the demon and the good job of a minister were ruined.

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

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

   After hearing the news, Chu Chen immediately congratulated the two of them and exchanged pleasantries.

  Besides, what surprised Chu Chen the most was that the 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 states refer to the three states that were better developed among the six states in the northwestern border opened up by Emperor Lingwei 20 years ago.

  The position of "economic strategy" is similar to that of "governor". It is in charge of the government affairs of the three barren states in the northwest, and is fully responsible for the economic strategy and consolidation of the three states. 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, he would be the manager of the three states in the Northwest, and if he made some achievements, he would join 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, if you can take a small step, it may be the difference between heaven and earth.

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

  The little devil 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, I made a fortune.

   "Haha~"

  Chu Chen saw through the little devil's little thoughts, and secretly found it funny.

   "Let's go, let's go, Uncle Tang has been 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 is no other reason, a figure just landed in front of his cave.

  He came, dressed in white as snow, elegant and calm, like a teacher in an academy.

  Before Chu Chen opened his mouth, the little ghost boy beside him gave a soft knee, and kowtowed along with Xiao Jinlian, Qinglong, Dutian and other magical boys.

   "Boom boom boom!"

   "Boom boom boom"

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

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

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

  Chu Chen secretly felt ashamed, so without further ado, he took two steps in three and invited him into the cave.

   "Sir, why are you here?"

  The person who came was not someone else, but it was the Emperor Dachang, and Mr. Mingjing made a private visit in disguise.

   "Fellow Daoist He Yulou came to inspect the Taoist temple, so I'll come to you for a sit-down."

  Mr. Ming Jing smiled and asked:

   "You must have known the outcome of the Immortal Tribunal. 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-level Taoist friends in Xianting are right. I am young now, so there is no need to worry. It just so happens that I plan to move the master's Lingshan sect to Yunzhou, reopen the mountain gate, and revitalize Lingshan!"

"Um!"

  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 the words.

  The burden cannot be lifted, what does this mean?

   "Sir, what do you mean?"

  Mr. Ming Jing didn't answer Chu Chen's doubts, he 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 he got mixed into the high-level circle of Luo Guixiang in the extraterrestrial demon realm.

"That's good!"

   After finishing speaking, Mr. Ming Jing fumbled from his sleeve, took out a token, and handed it to Chu Chen:

   "The eight southwestern states, I will 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, and, I was promoted again, and became a third-rank immortal official, hahahaha, the third-rank high-gong robe is really majestic."

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

  However, Chu Chen ignored the little ghost, but lowered his head to observe the token.

"This is."

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

   "The Emperor's Dark Guard!"
