In front of the Xu family, the six ministers suddenly lost their temper.
Qin Zhan also lost his temper.
Are you kidding me? The Heavenly Master and the Pope are both interested, who dares to argue with them?
These two men not only have a transcendent status in the court, but also have a life-long friendship and opportunity with His Majesty.
There are countless believers among the people. If anyone dares to be disrespectful to the Heavenly Master and the Pope, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty will drown him with a spit of spit.
What's more important is their cultivation. One is a first-grade Taoist, and the other is a first-grade warlock. They are the absolute ceiling within the scope of human grade classification.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, no one was their opponent except the legendary academy dean who had reached the upper level.
At the same time, they are also the strongest fighting force against the invasion of demons, and they are even more respected.
Unless someone is seeking death, no one is willing to go against these two old gods.
"Master, Lord Pope, if you had told me earlier, we wouldn't have made this trip in vain."
The Minister of Rites plans several sacrifices to the ancestral temple every year, prays for Daxia, and divines good and bad luck. He always asks the Heavenly Master and the Pope for help, so he is close to the two and has the closest relationship.
Seeing that several colleagues were silent, he could only express his attitude first, "Whether Xu Xiaoyou enters the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain or the Pope's Star-Zhaing Tower, it is a good choice for him. It is better than entering the court. The pure person who came to serve as an official may be able to replace the Heavenly Master and the Pope in the future to compete with the Demon Lord."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the other ministers immediately echoed a few words. Qin Zhan also handed over his hand, and his attitude of withdrawing was relatively clear.
Only Jiang Bowang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was slightly dissatisfied, but under the smiling gaze of the Heavenly Master and the Pope, he could only lower his head reluctantly, "Since the Heavenly Master and the Pope also have the intention of cherishing talents, then naturally we will It is inconvenient to argue... Such an outstanding poetic genius can truly shine only in the hands of you two."
After speaking, he flicked his long sleeves, took a deep look at Xu Xingmu, and then silently stepped aside.
"As the old saying goes, competition is fair and we should not be afraid of it just because of our status."
The old Heavenly Master said, "Furthermore, you are all the mainstays of the imperial court. If you really want to say it, the Pope and I are half outsiders. Haha, now we need you to be humble. This is really, a bit like forcing you." That makes sense."
"Master, please don't say that!"
The Minister of Rites waved his hand quickly and said, "We all quit voluntarily!"
"Is it really voluntary?"
The old Heavenly Master looked around the audience and said, "The old Taoist always convinces people with reason and will never embarrass you."
The six ministers glanced at the green bull not far away at the same time. Its eyes were wide open, its nostrils were steaming, and its four hooves were strong and powerful. It seemed that it was ready to attack savagely at any time.
Suddenly his mind became tense and he quickly said seriously, "I won't be embarrassed!"
"That's really embarrassing."
The old Heavenly Master smiled and patted Qingniu's head and said, "Let's have some fun."
Qingniu walked away, and the six ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
But the atmosphere in front of the Xu family did not relax.
Instead, it became more solemn.
Because next, there will be a head-on competition between the Heavenly Master and the Pope, which may turn into an unpredictable conflict.
"Your Holiness, what should we say? Should one battle determine victory or defeat, or three games and two wins?"
A golden light suddenly appeared above the head of the old Heavenly Master. It was magnificent and vast, and contained supreme mystery. Everyone present saw it and regarded it as a miracle.
He glanced at the Pope and said, "Don't worry, Qing Niu won't interfere."
The golden thread between the Pope's brows opened a thin slit, as if a heavenly eye had opened. He responded with a smile, "In order to save time, then..."
Before he finished speaking, the half-foot area between the two fell into a strange position, and the friendly discussion between the two first-level experts was about to begin.
The six ministers had already walked to Qing Niu under the protection of the guards. With this mythical beast from Longhu Mountain around, there was no need to worry about being accidentally injured.
The golden armor on Qin Zhan's body moved with excitement, and mysterious rune marks lit up between each piece of armor. He pulled the stunned Boss Hai over and ran away from him.
At this moment, in front of the Xu family, Xu Xingmu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his hand, and under the golden light of the old heavenly master, he spoke in a trembling voice, "Well, can I say something?"
After half a breath of silence, the somewhat surprised Pope blinked his eyes and took the first step to remove the aura from his body.
He glanced at Xu Xingmu and nodded, amiably.
The old Heavenly Master also waved his hand, scattering golden light, and a smile appeared on his face, "Xu Xiaoyou, please speak."
"Seeing you all arguing and even fighting over my future and return, I feel really happy and scared at the same time..."
Xu Xingmu lowered his head and did not dare to look at everyone. After a moment, he whispered, "But actually, there is no need for this, because I have already thought of where to go."
As soon as these words were said, the six ministers suddenly became hopeful again.
Naturally, they don't dare to compete with the old Heavenly Master and the Pope, but if Xu Xiaoyou takes the initiative to join the Sixth Division, then the old immortal who always emphasizes fair competition can't go and grab it head-on, right?
So Jiang Boyang stood up again and asked with the last glimmer of hope, "Does Xu Xiaoyou have any ideas about the six movies?"
Looking at the hopeful eyes of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Xu Xingmu wanted to say yes, but in the end he shook his head in silence.
"Haha, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
Jiang Boyang laughed a few times and retreated again. When he returned to Qing Niu, his entire face was already livid.
"Star Reaching Tower?"
The Pope suddenly spoke, with a sincere expression on his face, staring at Xu Xingmu with the three gentlest eyes in his life, hoping to get the answer he wanted.
"I'm sorry, Your Holiness."
Xu Xingmu declined again.
He sighed, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, I have offended the entire court because of you today."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
The Pope also laughed dryly a few times. He turned around silently, his three eyes slowly closed, and at the same time he let out a long and helpless sigh.
Seeing this scene, Liubu Shangshu, who was in a bad mood, suddenly felt more balanced.
At this time, the old Heavenly Master realized that he had won, and he laughed a little uncontrollably, "Haha! You ministers, the Pope, and the general of the Marquis Palace, I'm so sorry! It's not that the old Taoist is strong, but Xu Xiaoyou made his own choice! There’s really no way around it! Fair competition! It’s purely fair competition!”
The scene was dead silent, no one responded.
Occasionally, you can see a few pairs of white eyes rolling up in the darkness.
Heavenly Master didn't care. He smiled and patted Xu Xingmu's shoulder. Just as he was about to say a few words, the other party spoke first, "Master Heavenly, please stop laughing. The place I want to go to is not a dragon." Tiger Mountain.”
The old master's hand stopped in mid-air for an instant, as embarrassed as the smile on his face.
"What did you say?"
The old Heavenly Master stared at him, "The old Taoist didn't hear clearly."
"He said the place he wanted to go to was not Longhu Mountain!"
The Pope turned around, the sadness on his face obviously lightened a lot.
The smile bloomed again on the face of the six ministers.
Qingniu seemed to sense the bad taste of several ministers, and stared at their buttocks with his shining eyes, wondering if he should do it one by one?
The old Heavenly Master took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down, "Do you know where the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain is?"
Xu Xingmu nodded, "The Taoist Holy Land has produced three first-grade Heavenly Masters. You are the third generation here."
"Now that you know it, why refuse?"
The old Heavenly Master was puzzled, "As long as you enter the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you may be the fourth generation."
Xu Xingmu said seriously, "As I said, I already have a place I want to go."
"Is there any place in the Great Xia Dynasty that is more worth visiting than the Tianshi Mansion?"
The Heavenly Master seemed to suddenly think of something. He quickly frowned and asked, "Could it be Cao Xianxian's camp? He actually sent a group of young eunuchs under him to Taoyuan County, but when he met an old Taoist on the way, he felt that There was no chance, so I turned back halfway! Xiaoyou Xu, don’t ever think about becoming a eunuch!"
"Absolutely not!"
Xu Xingmu tensed up and said helplessly, "To be honest, I have made an agreement with you a long time ago. If I can succeed in asking for poems and have the opportunity to enter the capital, I will definitely work with him. Since I made my promise in advance, I can't break my promise."
"Who is that person!"
At this time, not only the old Heavenly Master, but also the Pope and the six ministers stared and asked questions.
When Xu Xingmu saw this murderous scene, he immediately swallowed the four words "Attending to Lin Qing" that were on his lips, and then said with a smile, "I want to go to Beijing to surprise him, but I can't say more here. Please forgive me."
After saying this, there was a long silence.
After a long time, the old Heavenly Master sighed, "Forget it! Everything is a matter of chance, and the old Taoist will never force anyone to do something difficult, but you need to remember that the door of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain will always be open for you."
Without waiting for Xu Xingmu to respond, he glanced at everyone again, "Now that the results have been obtained, the old man will stay soon. What do you guys say?"
"Of course I will go back with you."
The six ministers spoke at the same time, "The old master's green ox can travel thousands of miles in an instant, and can reach the capital in the blink of an eye. It is much more comfortable than riding a horse-drawn carriage for thousands of miles."
But the Pope waved his hand and said, "I won't squeeze any more and go ahead."
He turned around and stepped into the darkness. In a flash of golden light between his brows, he disappeared in front of Xu's house.
Almost at the same time, the figure of the Pope suddenly appeared among the clouds in the Star-Zhaing Tower thousands of feet above the Great Xia Imperial City.
He stood in silence for a long time with a calm expression and long eyes, but suddenly at a certain moment in his thoughts, he punched the void, triggering countless thunders, and muttered, "No! Why does he, a little yamen servant, dare to reject me? ?”
...
"The Pope likes peace and quiet, so he left alone. Don't mind it."
In front of the Xu family gate, the old Heavenly Master looked at Qin Zhan, "General, what about you, do you want to leave?"
Qin Zhan said, "Several ministers are going back, but the case of Zhu Ruzhi, the former magistrate of Taoyuan County, who deceived the emperor must be handled by someone. The escaped Lei Gong and the magistrate's wife must also be arrested. The general will stay for now, and wait." Fix everything and then go back on your own."
"So, thank you for your hard work."
The Minister of Punishment was really not in the mood to take care of any more cases. He just wanted to leave this sad place as soon as possible.
The old Heavenly Master nodded. He first glanced at Boss Hai, who was full of awe, and stared at him for a moment. The golden light flashed in his eyes, but he disappeared without a trace.
He said softly, "It's all a matter of the court and has nothing to do with you, just forget it."
Then he flicked his sleeves and robes, rolled up the six tribes of people, stepped into the golden light spitted out by the green bull, and floated away amidst a long "moo" sound.
As soon as the person left, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
What Boss Hai saw and heard tonight was enough to keep him boasting for a lifetime.
But for some reason, when he greeted Xu Xingmu politely and then stepped onto the long street back to the inn, his memory and thoughts were suddenly cut off, "Huh? Why am I here? That father-in-law has not even issued the imperial edict yet. Read it!"
He banged his head and prepared to return to the Xu family's old house, but he was suddenly startled, "Look at my brain! The guys said that a group of nobles from the capital came to the inn and asked me to go back to the town! What happened to me today? I died so quickly. forget!"
Boss Hai cursed and hurried to Qinglong Inn.
But after returning home, he was told by the guys that not only had he met those noble people from the capital, but he also took them out, but he had no impression of them at all.
"It's a ghost!"
Boss Hai felt chills all over, and suddenly glanced at the night sky out of nowhere.
He seemed to see a glowing green bull flying in the sky...
