Celestial Immortal

  In fact, on the day when the Gaogong Presbyterian Meeting in the Imperial Capital Xianting ended, the much-anticipated gossip about the candidate for Lizhou Duguan spread throughout the senior management of the Dachang Heavenly Dynasty.

  Chu Chen has been protecting Qingying in recent days and has not paid attention to the outside world. After his father-in-law brought Qingying back to Qingzhou, he heard the wind outside.

   It is said that at the Gao Gong Elders’ Meeting, the real Yulou recommended him, but unfortunately, he was rejected by Tianshi Gutong and a group of Gao Gong elders.

At present, it is widely rumored that the candidate to be in charge of the Lizhou Ghost and God Division has been finalized-this person is the elder Bailu Xianweng, the current head of the elders of the Xianting Center, and the elder of the Daxianzong Xianlu Temple. A well-known high-gong senior in the world.

White Deer Immortal Weng has high morals and profound Taoism, not to mention that the magic power "Xianlu Qiongjiang" of the Xianlu watcher has made great achievements in eradicating evil qi, evil qi, and gu qi. A perfect candidate.

  Chu Chen was not too surprised that he failed to run for election.

  He is young and has no real experience to prove himself. After comprehensive consideration, if he is chosen, he will also seek stability and choose a respected and trustworthy old man to take charge of the frontier town.

   Taking a step back, Lizhou is located in the front end of the Southwest despite its delicate location. If you do well, based on this experience, if you improve your mana, you will be able to hit the "Zuoguo important minister", and your future is limitless.

  Elder Xianting and Great Elder seem to be only one step away, but in fact they are different from each other, and there are several levels of difference between the two sides.

   "Lizhou Duguan" as a "ladder", a springboard for jumping up, naturally it is not so easy to win.

   "I also have a decree, but I don't know where it is transferred."

  Chu Chen had some guesses in his heart.

  He was not selected for "Lizhou Duguan", and he ran with him all the way. Naturally, he did not accompany him for nothing. Xianting comforted him and arranged errands for him, which did not exceed his expectations.

   After a while, Chu Chen took the kid and his disciples out of the cave to meet the emissary.

  Lingshan banquet living room.

"Chu Chen, the elder of the elders of the Xianting Central Center, the young master of the Lingshan School in Yunzhou, Chu Chen, has devoted himself to cultivation, has achieved supernatural powers, and can be used to great effect. According to the resolution of the elder Gao Gong of the Xianting Central Academy, he is awarded the fourteenth level of cultivation. Master Dongyuan was titled (the third rank), and was promoted to Jiutian Jinque Shangqing (the third rank), doing cheap things; he was promoted to the envoy of the Lizhou Supervisory Council, in charge of the morals of a state, and supervised the officials, ghosts and gods."

  The Immortal Court Immortal Envoy acted in a hurry, passed on the Immortal Court Immortal Edict, and after bestowing the third-grade talisman and supervision token, he left in a hurry without even drinking tea.

   "Wow~ Zheng Sanpin, brother, you really got promoted."

  The little devil jumped for joy. In front of everyone, he resisted the impulse in his heart and applauded.

  Chu Chen, Daoist Xu Ping and others smiled with a little surprise on their faces.

   This time, Chu Chen was indeed promoted, from the third rank to the third rank, and the state inspector is not an idle job.

  A high-ranking official in a state, there are generally only four officials of the third rank, immortal officials, ghosts and gods. (In some places where spiritual veins are prosperous and talents are born in large numbers, the head of the state Taoist Academy may also be a third-rank)

  State animal husbandry, state capital management, state city god, state supervisor.

The first three are all powerful and in charge of one side's prominent errands. The real power of the state supervisor is far inferior to the top three, but they have the authority to supervise the officials, officials, ghosts and gods of a state. The privilege of "resolving major matters and making decisions on small matters" is the subtle existence of the Celestial Court's control of the three giants in one state.

  Chu Chen, Xu Ping, master and apprentice, were not surprised that Xianting let him be promoted to "State Supervisor".

  Unexpectedly, he was transferred to Lizhou.

   "Disciple, I just asked Feifu. It is said that the inspector from Lizhou was transferred to a certain place in Kyushu to serve as the governor, and there happened to be a vacant position."

   Daoist Xu Ping finished speaking.

   Taoist Fu Hua on the side was very meaningful, and then said:

   "It is said that the former supervisor of Lizhou belonged to the Jade Emperor Sect. Now, this Lizhou governor, Qinglu Temple, who was born in Bailu Xianweng, is also one of the branches of the Jade Emperor Temple, and is a well-known high-level Taoist of the Jade Emperor Sect."

  Chu Chen understood what his master and ancestors said.

  In the Dachang Heavenly Dynasty, although there were no serious "party" banners erected, the "Jade Emperor Sect" and "Ziwei Sect" seemed to have become a fact.

  The faction on the top of the mountain is there, if you don’t want to ignore it, then you can ignore it.

Chu Chen was born in the Lingshan School. When he entered the Immortal Court, he was the North Pole Exorcism Academy. After that, he entered the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy and became a disciple of the Son of Heaven. ".

   When we were weak, the faction of the "Jade Emperor and Northern Emperor" had little influence.

  However, with Chu Chen's current level of Taoism, the problem of faction hills cannot be bypassed.

   This is the case right now.

  Chu Chen's appointment as Lizhou Supervisor is not only his appointment, but also on behalf of the "Ziwei faction".

  Daoist Xu Ping smiled:

   "Teacher, you have thought about how to be qualified for this job?"

   Taoist Fu Hua and Taoist Fu Ling became interested in Chu Chen's answer after hearing this.

People in the Taoist sect are indifferent to fame and fortune, and they don't like factional struggles. However, due to the Celestial Court System, if you want to ascend to the gods, you must strive for it with all your strength and participate in the "Jade Emperor Ziwei" "In the midst of the faction's struggle.

  However, if one devotes one's heart and soul to party struggles, it will violate the Taoist heart and greatly detrimental to the consummation of practice.

  To a certain extent, for Taoists, it is quite distressing for them to feel a tear between their Dao heart and reality.

   This, to a certain extent, can be regarded as a big test on the road of practice.

  The three of them couldn't help looking forward to the "enlightened" Chu Chen, and wanted to see how he would deal with this situation.

  Chu Chen smiled when he saw the eyes of the three elders. His experience may not be as good, but he has a good vision in two lives, and he has no troubles about it:

   "Buddhism has three realms in practicing Zen. The mountain is a mountain, the mountain is not a mountain, and the mountain is still a mountain. This disciple quite agrees!"

   Daoist Xu Ping and Taoist Fu Hua were taken aback for a moment, and were quickly attracted by this sentence.

  Look at the mountain is a mountain, look at the mountain is not a mountain, look at the mountain is still a mountain

   These words seem to have nothing to do with the struggle of the "Jade Emperor Ziwei faction", but in fact they are all about "party struggle".

   Even, covering everything in life is not only the triple realm of meditation, but also the triple realm of life.

  If you can comprehend the three realms, even the disturbances in the world will not be able to disturb the mind of Zen.

   "It's good to see a mountain is not a mountain, but a mountain is still a mountain!"

   Taoist Xu Ping, Taoist Fu Hua, and Taoist Fu Ling are all great supernatural monks with profound Taoism. When they heard this, Xu Shi was inspired and excited.

   "Disciple, why haven't we heard this wonderful saying from Buddhism? Could it be that you came here through your own enlightenment?"

"this"

  Chu Chen was taken aback, did Dachang World have Buddhism, Taoism and Zen?

  Good guy, I accidentally became a copy of the text.

  After receiving the decree from the Immortal Court, Chu Chen did not stay in Yunzhou for a long time. He held the decree, wore the [Lizhou Supervision Order] on his waist, and set off for Lizhou on the same day.

   Coincidentally.

  On the way, Chu Chen ran into a fellow celestial cultivator who did not take the flying boat and treasure ship, and went on the road alone with his supernatural powers.

  It may be in the same direction, and the two of them noticed each other and greeted each other.

   It doesn't matter if you don't say hello, but when you say hello, both of them are quite surprised.

   "So it's fellow Daoist Chu!"

  In the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, an old Taoist wearing a black Taoist robe, with gray hair and beard, sitting cross-legged on a crane came galloping.

  The person who came was not someone else, but the new Lizhou Ghost and God Division, who was in charge of Bailu Xianweng.

  Bailu Xianweng rushed to Lizhou to take up his post in a hurry. He was not surprised. The position of Lizhou Duguan had been vacant for many days. It was normal for the new Duguan to rush to take office and take control of the situation.

  Let him go, but he can't sit still, he understands Bailu Xianweng's state of mind very well.

This white deer fairy, with a lifespan of more than one hundred and eighty years old, has a late-stage mana cultivation of the third rank, and a body of pure Taoist profound arts, which is extremely profound. In the world of practice, he can be regarded as "young and strong". It's not too rich, and it has a lot of potential. It belongs to the most powerful high-cultivation and high-gong in the Jade Emperor Sect to impact the "Voice of Zuoguo".

   Right now, once Lizhou can be firmly established as the governor of Lizhou, Lizhou will be governed in a decent manner, and it will "open up the territory" for the Celestial Dynasty. In the future, it will be a proper candidate for the elder of Xianting and the important minister of Zuoguo. The future is limitless.

  Chu Chen was amazed when he saw the "White Deer Immortal".

  The Bailu Xianweng on the other side was not surprised, but shocked.

  He heard from his colleagues that there was a "newly promoted to the third rank" young boy Chu Chen who competed with him for the "Lizhou Governor", and was even recommended by the previous celestial master.

  In the outside world, there are many rumors about "Chu Chen", such as what is outstanding talent, what is overwhelming the heart of the sky, has the air of a master, etc. In the rumors, this "Chu Daoist" is highly praised.

  At first, he was a little disapproving, but when he actually saw "Chu Chen", his inner disapproval disappeared without a trace, leaving only surprise—the rumors are not exaggerated at all, and even many statements are still too conservative.

  Not to mention anything else, that strong cultivation mana is enough to explain everything.

  A look of surprise flashed across Bailu Xianweng's face.

  If the other party was born a few years earlier, and the competition is all about leaving the state, he probably has no chance.

  After thinking up to this point, Bailu Xianweng felt emotional in his heart, and greeted:

   "Originally, Pindao planned to visit fellow Taoists when he passed by Yunzhou. He heard that he was going to take up the post, but he was in a hurry on the way and forgot for a while, but he never expected that you and I would meet on the road. Fate, really is fate."

   "Meet Fellow Daoist Bailu!"

  Chu Chen made a salute: "That's just right, you and I will go to the post together."

  White Deer Fairy nodded slightly: "Great kindness!"

  Although they belong to different factions, the internal factions of the Celestial Dynasty are not fights between hooligans and hooligans on the streets of the city.

   To be able to achieve the position of the elder of the elders in the center of the fairy court, there are basically no gleeful stunned young people.

   When the two met for the first time, they seemed quite polite.

  At the moment, the two rushed to Lizhou City hand in hand.

  Speaking of which, Chu Chen went to Lizhou for the second time in recent days, and he was quite familiar with the road. In addition, the two of them were very good at escaping. In less than an hour, the two of them fled thousands of miles and arrived in Lizhou City.

  According to the usual practice, when the new Governor of the State Department of Ghosts and Gods and the State Supervisor take office, the state shepherd and all the local officials, ghosts and gods will greet them from a distance, and the scene is extremely grand.

  However, both Bailu Xianweng and Chu Chen were pragmatic and poor in nature, and they didn't reveal their whereabouts in advance. They only approached Lizhou City, so they didn't hide their identity tokens around their waists.

   Even so, the Lizhou side received a huge battle.

   Tens of thousands of Yin soldiers opened the way, beating gongs and drums, and waving flags, welcoming each other from ten miles away. The scene was extremely lively.

   Just like when Chu Chen followed his master Xu Ping when he took up the post of county governor, their trip was not only to take office, but also to announce to the people and all forces in the prefecture that the Lizhou governor and the state supervisor are here.

  Chu Chen and Bailu Xianweng accepted Lizhou's grand and lively welcome very calmly.

   However, to the surprise of the two of them, this time, the supervisor who greeted them from Lizhou was not Lizhou Mumeng Road, but Lizhou City God Shenduancang.

   This surprised Chu Chen and Bailu Xianweng.

A few days ago, Chu Chen and Mrs. Huixin came to Lizhou to do business, and Lizhou Mumeng Lu personally entertained them. Not to mention, there are two new chief officials in Lizhou. The reason for coming forward.

   Bailu Xianweng entered the role of Lizhou Duguan very quickly.

   Lizhou is in charge of all the demons and gods in Lizhou, and controls the power of the city gods and soldiers in the whole state. Although they are both of the third rank, but Bailu Xianweng is half a level higher than the city **** of the state, and he is his direct superior.

  After greeting all parties in Lizhou, Bailu Xianweng quickly took the initiative and asked the city **** of the state:

   "Fellow Daoist Duancang, where did fellow Daoist Zhou Mumeng go? But something happened to the state?"

   "I don't care about the report, Lizhou did encounter a little trouble temporarily, and the state shepherd went to deal with it."

   Lizhou city **** Shen Duancang was wearing a gorgeous official robe, with a refined and unrestrained temperament. After hearing the question from the exponential white deer fairy, he did not hide anything, and said truthfully:

   "Recently, a group of Wu clan tribes in Lizhou jointly held [Witch God Blood Festival], offering human races as tributes to sacrifice. The state pastor was furious when he heard that, and immediately took them out of the city."

  Chu Chen and Bailu Xianweng were stunned when they heard the words, and the witch **** made a blood sacrifice.

  醮 who sacrifice also.

  The so-called [Witch God Dajiao], to put it bluntly, is a ritual of offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods.

In Celestial Courts and Taoist sects, fasting sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods are commonplace, from time to time, as large as the Celestial Dynasty, as small as small families and sects. .

  However, the shamanism sacrifices of Manghuang children are different. In many cases, the sacrifices are not melons, fruits, vegetables, five animals, etc., but people.

  The shaman goes up to the world, and the word "human" is used in the middle to connect it.

  In some witchcraft and secret arts, the blood sacrifice that uses people as tribute is the best method, and many powerful methods can only be refined through "blood sacrifice".

  In the wild land where the conquests are all around, the shaman monks are accustomed to the "blood sacrifice" and it is quite popular.

  However, in the Dachang Dynasty, blood sacrifices have long been "banned". Anything involving "blood sacrifices" is regarded as heresy, or even heresy.

  Bailu Xianweng's expression eased, and then asked:

   "So that's how it is. How many soldiers and horses have you brought with you, do you need the help of the old Taoist and Chu Daoist?"

   "I don't care, it's not about soldiers and horses."

   Lizhou City God shook his head:

   "Witchcraft in Lizhou is prevalent, and the people and monks all over the place are enthusiastic and even obsessed with blood sacrifice."
