The city after the war was desolate. A large number of residents had fled and returned after hearing that the Jietian bandits retreated. However, many people had decided to leave here and find another way to make a living. Tianyuan Immortal City is a border town adjacent to Tianmen. It is unknown what At some point, the Jietian Thief will attack again.
The various losses after the war are also being quickly counted. In addition to the large number of casualties, there are also huge property losses. In particular, a vault used by Tianjie Bank to store ether particles was completely stolen, resulting in losses of hundreds of millions.
The vault used by Tianjie Bank to store currency is similar to the Forbidden Spirit Prison. It is a kind of mustard space that wanders in the gap between dimensions. As long as the accurate spatial coordinates cannot be obtained, it can never be breached.
Generally speaking, the spatial coordinates of the treasury are only known to the presidents of branches in various places. However, Mai Yinzong, the president of the branch in Xiancheng, comes from a famous family and has a transcendent status, so it is impossible for him to do such a thing.
All this is very difficult to investigate, because many guards and middle- and high-level managers of Tianjie Bank also died. Many of them have not even found their bodies. It is unknown whether they died or left with the Tianjie Thieves.
Such a huge event naturally shook the heavens. It is said that even the God Emperor was furious and ordered Doubi to immediately assemble an army of demon subduers to encircle and suppress the heavenly thieves.
King Zengguang also ended his inspection of the lower realms ahead of schedule and returned to Fairy City. After returning to Fairy City, he was immediately dismissed from his post as Tianmen guard. Many middle- and high-level Heavenly officials were also suspended. Unfortunately, Shennong Yu, as the chief police officer of Fairy City, also Among the suspensions.
Fortunately, all this has nothing to do with Luo Kai. He has returned to the Qingwei Sect and reported to his master Kong Guzi the details of the Jietian Thief's attack on the Immortal City.
Kongguzi's face was unusually solemn, and he asked about everything that happened in the prison in detail. After listening, he couldn't help but said to himself: "The old nun you are talking about should come from the Western Buddhist world and is a disciple of Mount Xutuo. Could it be that Buddhism wants to compete with Taoism for dominance again? Are they still uniting with that old demon Hun Tian?"
Luo Kai asked from the side: "Master, who is this old demon Hun Tian?"
"This old devil is a kind of bull demon. Well, speaking of it, I knew him in my early years."
Kong Guzi sighed. As an old immortal with a lifespan of nearly 100,000 years, his endless lifespan has endowed him with transcendent wisdom and made his knowledge extremely broad. Within the Three Realms, any existence that can be named can be said to be He knows everything.
In his early years, Old Demon Huntian also served in the Tianting Doubu, and he had outstanding achievements and a very high rank. He also had a special divine title called Niujiao Daxian.
He was a bohemian, righteous and generous, and had many friends. Because of this unruly character, he repeatedly violated the rules of heaven and was expelled from the heaven. Later, the great ox-horned immortal proclaimed himself the Great Sage Huntian and trained a bull demon. The army formed the notorious Jie Tian Pirates.
"Qingtian is dead, and Huntian will stand. This demon's ambition seems to be quite big." Luo felt a movement in his heart and said tentatively.
Kong Guzi smiled and shook his head: "Hurdiness is turbidity, but in fact, whether it is pure or turbid, it is the two poles of the great road. Our Taoism does not reject "turbidity". It is said that all things bear yin and embrace yang, and the energy is in harmony. The key is not to go to extremes. Moderation can last long. Then Hun Tian went to extremes and even entered the devil's path. "
"What the master said makes sense." Luo Kai felt something suddenly enlightened in his heart. This was the first time for him to ask this master for advice on the way of heaven. He was indeed an old god, and his insights and knowledge of all things are extraordinary.
The wisdom of Eastern philosophy lies in the word golden mean. You should neither indulge yourself too much nor follow the rules too much.
Unfortunately, reality and ideals are often at odds with each other, and people and society tend to go to extremes easily.
Kong Guzi looked at him, his eyes flashed with divine light, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I see that your soul is clear, and the way you practice should be very beneficial. The practice of Hunyuan Wuji Kung Fu Is there any progress?"
Luo Kai hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should tell him what he was doing. The purity of the Star Spirit conflicted with the Hunyuan Wuji Kung. If he had to choose between the two, he would definitely choose the purity of the mystery. Once he faced Kong Guzi If I tell the truth, I am afraid that not only will all the preferential treatment be cancelled, but I will also be kicked out of the door.
It was originally just a simple question, but Luo Kai didn't answer it for a long time. Kong Guzi
His expression changed, but he said kindly: "But if you encounter any difficulties, you might as well talk to me. Although I have not practiced the Hunyuan Wuji Kung Fu, the Great Dao has the same origin, which should be able to give you some guidance."
Luo Kai sighed and said: "Master, if I said that I might not be able to practice Hunyuan Wuji Gong, what would you do?"
Kong Guzi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Good boy, you are quite honest. I didn't like you very much at first, but now I think you are pretty good, so I will tell you the truth. I will accept you as my disciple. Because you can practice Hunyuan Wuji Gong, which is the Taoism left by the Pangu star spirit who created the world in the first era of the universe. Once you succeed, you will have very terrifying initial permissions, but unfortunately this permission is not small. The human soul can carry it, even the current star spirit cannot.
If you can achieve something small, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive for long and you will be killed by the backlash, but I can promise you here that I will do my best to protect your remaining soul. When the next reincarnation comes, I will find you. , what do you think of accepting you as a disciple, opening up the supply of resources, and striving to return to your current level of cultivation as soon as possible? "
The time difference between heaven and man is huge. It is just a reincarnation. It may not take long for him to return to the heaven. This condition is actually very good, but Luo Kai is unwilling to agree. The Hunyuan Wuji Kung is just to cultivate out of the chaos Yuan Qi, and as long as his Three Corpse Sutras choose to merge, they can also return to the Yuan in three parts, condensing Hunyuan Yi Qi, and it must be much more powerful than Hunyuan Wuji Gong, because the Three Corpse Sutras were created by saints Humane exercises are more suitable for human cultivation.
He could only say vaguely: "Then I will go back to retreat."
Kong Guzi nodded and said, "Well, go back. If you need anything, just go to your second senior brother."
…
Luo Kai did not stay in the sect for long, and returned to Tianyuan Immortal City a few days later. The Immortal City had obviously become much more depressed, and the heavenly soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys, as well as the small merchants and hawkers, had disappeared.
The damage caused by the war to the economy and business is extremely huge, and it may be impossible to recover in the next few years.
But there is also a good thing, that is, house prices in the inner city have plummeted, and independent small courtyards that were once worth a million can now be bought at half the price.
Luo Kaideng was greatly moved, so he asked around to find a better house.
A few days later, the results of the Heavenly Court's handling of the Jietian's attack on the city came down. What was shocking was that the officials in the Immortal City not only had no faults, but actually made meritorious deeds. Almost most of the Heavenly officials received awards, and those who were originally suspended All middle-level officials were also reinstated.
There is also news that in this battle to defend the city, Shennong Yu handled the situation well and dispatched it properly. The Thunder Brigade under Lei Bu replaced Dou Bu and became the main force defending the city. This can be regarded as saving the fairy city from danger. The superiors are highly appreciative. It is very likely that he will be promoted to Yushu Order.
Yushu Ling is the chief commander of the Thunder Department's branches in the major immortal cities. He oversees the Thunder Dusi, Supervision Department, and Tingwei Department, and truly enters the ranks of fifth-grade heavenly officials.
Once Shennong Yu is promoted, the director of the Thunder City Department will be vacant. It is too difficult to promote officials in the Heavenly Court. Now that there are finally vacancies, it has naturally aroused the excitement of many people.
Luo Kai's rank is too low and his qualifications are not high enough to get involved. He is still secretly worried that Shennong Yu is gone and if the person he replaces is not easy to get along with, then he may really have to resign.
