After leaving Bajing Palace, Xiao Sheng did not go directly to Heaven.
He returned to Mount Emei Luofu Cave.
"Master, I have gained a lot from this trip. My master treated me well. He taught me alchemy and allowed me to listen to Taoism... and my Taoism and magic power have improved." Xiao Sheng first told Zhao Gongming what happened in the past few years.
"Uncle Master, you are kind." Zhao Gongming first bowed his hands in the direction of Bajing Palace, and then asked, "Xiao Sheng, where are you going next?"
"Master, I want to go to heaven to borrow the plain cloud flag."
"Heaven?" Zhao Gongming frowned. The relationship between Jiejiao and Tianting is not harmonious.
Previously, when Haotian first took charge of Heavenly Court, he was short of manpower.
Zeng asked Sanqing for help, hoping that Sanqing could send some disciples to serve in heaven.
Under the Sanqing sect.
I only have one disciple, Master Xuandu, a few boys, and a mount.
Therefore, I did not send anyone to heaven.
Haotian can accept this. After all, the Renjiao didn’t have many disciples.
In fact, there were not many disciples here in Yuanshi.
There are twelve golden immortals, including Antarctic Immortal Weng, Yun Zhongzi and others.
There were basically no third-generation disciples at that time.
However, Yuanshi still sent the Antarctic Immortal to serve in heaven.
In the Chan Sect, the status of the Antarctic Immortal is second only to Yuan Shi and Ran Deng.
It can be seen that Yuanshi gave Haotian enough face.
Therefore, Haotian and Chanjiao have a good relationship.
What about Jie Jiao?
Jie Jiao has thousands of immortals coming to court with great momentum.
But does anyone in Jiejiao serve in heaven?
It seems not.
At least, I haven't heard of anyone with a named name.
The leader of the Tongtian cult did not send any of his disciples to serve in the Heavenly Court. This was because he was not giving Haotian face.
Who is Haotian?
He is the disciple of Patriarch Hongjun. Ancestor Hongjun is the master of Sanqing. He is the Taoist ancestor and the most powerful person in this world. The boy under him has an unusual status.
Haotian is Sanqing's junior brother.
He was in charge of Heavenly Court for the first time and was seriously short of manpower, so he begged Sanqing.
As a result, Jie Jiao, who should be the most helpful, did not show up. This was not only a loss of face, but also meant to bully Haotian.
Therefore, the relationship between Tianting and Jiejiao is not good.
Besides, it’s okay if the relationship is not good.
There are many disciples of Jie Jiao, and many of them do evil things.
Heaven nominally governs all places.
Those who do evil will be punished by heaven.
However, many of these culprits of cholera are from the Jiejiao religion, which makes Haotian want to control them but dare not.
Therefore, the relationship between Haotian and Jie Jiao is relatively tense.
In this case, if you borrow a plain-colored Yunjie flag, you can imagine the result.
Zhao Gongming had to frown, this matter was not easy to handle.
"Master, do you want to serve in Heaven?" Xiao Sheng asked.
If you want to borrow the plain cloud flag, you must have an official position in the heaven.
In "The Romance of the Gods", when Chanjiao borrowed the plain-colored Yunjie flag, he also asked the Antarctic immortal to borrow it. Because the Antarctic Immortal serves in heaven. Not so much for others. Haotian and Yaochi Golden Mother will not borrow it.
"I don't want to!" Zhao Gongming answered simply.
Why not go to heaven to serve?
Because it's unpleasant.
Why not be happy?
Here is a quote from "The Romance of the Gods":
"Let's say that the Antarctic Immortal immediately packed up, changed his court clothes, tied on the jingling jade pendant, held the court scepter in his hand, left the Yuxu Palace, stepped on the auspicious clouds,... came to Yaochi, dropped the clouds, and saw the red gate tightly closed... ,
The Antarctic Immortal fell down on the golden steps and said: "I heard that the Antarctic Immortal has heard about the Golden Mother..."
Holy Mother, please give me the gift of the Immortal Banner. I am sincere and frightened, and I bow my head in silence. There is a little minister named Antarctic Immortal Weng playing the instrument. '
When I was lying down for a while, four pairs of fairies held up fairy flags and gave them to the Antarctic fairy..."
Look, this is what happened when the Antarctic Immortal met the Golden Mother of Yaochi.
It is similar to the scene in the mortal world where ministers meet the emperor and queen.
Not even as good as a mortal minister.
I wonder which free and easy immortal would be willing to do this? !
Therefore, all the disciples of Jiejiao are unwilling to go to heaven to serve as officials.
Seeing that Zhao Gongming was unwilling, Xiao Sheng could only say: "Master, how about I go to heaven and get an official position?"
"What?" Zhao Gongming frowned. He also didn't want Xiao Sheng to take up a post in the Heavenly Court and feel cowardly.
However, if he did not take up the post, it would be impossible to lend the plain Yunjie Flag to Xiao Sheng.
This is a dilemma.
"Master, I want to find an official position in Heaven to subjugate demons and eliminate demons." Xiao Sheng had a plan in mind. This is to gain merit, on the one hand, by doing good deeds, and on the other hand, by subduing demons.
In today's world, there are many demons and monsters, all of them have done evil deeds and have been fattened. They can all be killed to gain merit.
However, this kind of killing demons and ghosts to obtain merit has not yet become a trend, unlike in later generations.
At this time, many people are cultivating behind closed doors and do not seek outside help.
Besides, slaying demons is risky business.
For one thing, demons and ghosts have different strengths. If you encounter those with low cultivation level, you can just kill them. But what if the demons and monsters are not of low cultivation and cannot be defeated? If it doesn't work, I'll die.
Furthermore, demons and monsters are not without origin. There are many monsters and monsters with backgrounds. If you kill it, the people behind it will jump out and cause trouble for you. They will ask you if you are afraid.
"Xiao Sheng, I'm afraid this is not a good thing." Zhao Gongming naturally understands the difficulty of subduing demons. Most demons and monsters have backgrounds, and this is something that offends people.
"Master, I also want to report to the leader that he will be in charge of punishment within the sect." Xiao Sheng wants to be an official in heaven, so he must tell the leader of Tongtian.
Then, in the process of subduing demons and slaying demons, when you meet the disciples of Jiejiao, do you care or not?
If you don't care, then don't worry about other demons and ghosts. After all, your law enforcement is lax and unfair.
If you are in charge, it will be either a senior brother, a junior brother, or a senior uncle or uncle. How do you manage it?
Therefore, Xiao Sheng simply took on multiple positions, not only in Heavenly Court, but also in Jiejiao, so that he could do things more conveniently. At least in name, there's nothing wrong with it.
"This is even more inappropriate!" Zhao Gongming frowned. He felt that being in charge of punishment within the sect would definitely offend many disciples and would be a thankless task.
"Master, our Jie Jiao sect has many disciples, but there are many good ones and bad ones. There are many disciples who are doing evil outside. This damages the prestige of our Jie Jiao. I want to clean up these people, even if they offend my uncles and masters, I will not hesitate to do so." Xiao Sheng looked upright and solemn.
It seems that in order to intercept the teaching, he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself.
"This..." Zhao Gongming hesitated. He is loyal to Jie Jiao, and he also hopes that Jie Jiao will become better, and does not want those villains to damage Jie Jiao's reputation.
"Xiao Sheng, if that's the case, why don't I take charge of the punishment?" Zhao Gongming didn't want Xiao Sheng to take risks, so he might as well do it himself.
"Master, you can't go. It's better for me to do this. If something happens, you can help me deal with it. In this way, I have a way out."
"What you said is not bad." Zhao Gongming nodded, "I just want you to go to heaven as an errand and take the risk of fighting monsters and monsters."
"Master, I am not aggrieved. As long as I can do something for Jie Jiao, I will not hesitate to do so."
"That's great. Without further ado, let's go to Golden Turtle Island and report to the leader." Zhao Gongming acted quickly and asked his outer disciple Qian Sihai to take care of the cave, and then took Xiao Sheng to Golden Turtle Island.
...
Golden Turtle Island, Biyou Palace.
"Master, I have something to report to you..." Zhao Gongming took Xiao Sheng and told him his intention.
"Can.
He appointed Xiao Sheng as the chief punishment envoy of Jiejiao, and gave him the whip of wind and thunder to clean up the atmosphere in the sect and punish the lawless disciples. "Tongtian readily agreed and gave Xiao Sheng a wind and thunder whip.
What Xiao Sheng wanted to do, Tongtian also wanted to do, but there was never a suitable candidate.
Now, Xiao Sheng came to the door, and Tongtian naturally agreed.
