When Xuzhuang received the seal of the Palace Master of the Jade Cauldron Palace, it echoed with the Jade Cauldron Palace. The news of the Palace Master's appointment was also known to the palace, and it spread to the elders in the palace in an instant.
Regardless of the level of authority or the size of the jurisdiction of the Third Highness, the palace is not very vast from the outside. But once you actually enter the palace, you will find something else. In addition to the main meeting hall, there are dozens of spaces for the elders in the palace. director.
In the vast independent hall, Yun Hengshi, the deputy head of the Jade Cauldron Hall, was conducting a business meeting. Suddenly he saw a green light flowing through the seal on the case. Yun Hengshi frowned slightly, brushed his hand over the seal, and The seal returned to its normal appearance.
Yun Hengshi had served in the Shangshi Palace for more than three hundred years, so he was well-informed. In fact, before Xu Zhuang came to the Shangshi Palace to take up his post, he already knew the decree issued by the Shangzhen Palace.
Yun Hengshi had already known that the master of the Jade Cauldron Hall had been vacant for more than ten years, and he had left him as a true disciple. However, he was still a little surprised by the person who took office.
Yun Hengshi leaned back on the chair with an inexplicable expression on his face. He pondered for a while, then suddenly took an unopened letter from the case and opened it at will. There was only a short line of small words in the letter: Don't do stupid things.
This is exactly the reply that Yun Hengshi wrote to the clan when he received the news today. The name of the person who wrote the letter is none other than the current head of the Yun family, Yun Hengce.
Taeko, the last true evangelist of the 12th generation, has always been a person that the Yun family has always tried their best to befriend, so even though he had not opened the letter until now, Yun Hengshi was not surprised by the contents.
Putting the letter back on the case, Yun Hengshi just shook his head, smiled, and said to himself: "Chengxuan's coming into the world will bring immortality to the world for thousands of years."
Yun Hengshi pressed the seal with his big hand and passed the letter on. Then he stood up, straightened his clothes and strode out of the hall.
At the same time, several elders from the Jade Cauldron Palace also arrived in the main hall. Yun Hengshi glanced around and found that they were all his confidants, but they only accounted for less than half of the elders serving in the Jade Cauldron Palace.
Yun Hengshi calmly nodded to everyone and led the way out of the hall. Sure enough, the other elders had already left the hall to wait for the hall master before Yun Hengshi's order. However, seeing Yun Hengshi come out, they still It's to give way.
When Xu Zhuang and Han Wang arrived at the Golden Bridge, they saw a middle-aged Taoist priest with mixed black and white hair, wearing a pearl cloud magpie tail crown, and extraordinary appearance. He separated from the crowd and walked out. He raised his eyes and looked at Xu Zhuang. .
Han Wang's heart moved, and he sent a message to Xu Zhuang: "This person is the deputy master of the Jade Cauldron Palace."
In fact, there was no need for Han Wang to remind him of this matter. Xu Zhuang knew it, but before he could respond, Yun Hengshi suddenly raised his hand and bowed his head, saying politely: "Yun Hengshi, I am in charge of the deputy palace of Jade Cauldron Palace. I have met the master of the palace." .”
"oh?"
Seeing these two people's actions, the remaining elders of Jade Cauldron Hall immediately clasped their hands and saluted.
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly and said to Si Fang, "You are all excused."
Although Yun Hengshi had no expression on his face, his behavior was quite respectful. He stepped aside and said, "Master, please come in."
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, and then walked towards the palace with Han Wang. Yun Hengshi naturally followed him on the other side and asked, "The new master of the palace has arrived. Can I summon the elders in the palace to discuss matters?"
Without waiting for Xu Zhuang to respond, Yun Hengshi explained: "There are several elders in the palace who are still serving as directors in the Daobing Palace and the Lux Palace, and are not usually in the Jade Cauldron Palace."
Xu Zhuang responded with a smile: "In that case, there is no need to work hard. There will be opportunities in the future."
Yun Hengshi nodded and asked, "Does the master of the palace have any orders?"
Xu Zhuang's heart was moved when he heard this. He glanced at Yun Hengshi, but could not see his expression. He muttered: "This is my first time here. Everything in the palace should be running as usual."
Yun Hengshi's face brightened slightly when he heard this, he showed a faint smile, and responded: "Good."
In a few words, everyone had already walked into the palace. Yun Hengshi came to the back hall and said: "This is the administrative office of the palace master. It has been idle for a while, but it is taken care of by Taoist boys from the palace every day. If If there are any shortcomings, I hope the Lord of the Palace will not blame you."
Xu Zhuang nodded in greeting and said, "You should just go and do your business. If there is something unclear about something in the palace, I will ask you for advice."
Hearing this, Yun Hengshi responded: "In that case, we won't bother the palace master anymore." Everyone also responded in unison, and after bowing, they retreated.
Xu Zhuang and Han Wangmai walked into the director's room of the palace master. They turned around a screen with paintings of mountains and rivers. After passing the front hall, there was the director's room. There was a cangyun wooden case. Judging from the color and texture of the wood, it was probably more than a thousand years old. Because the main hall master It has been vacant for more than ten years, but the case is empty.
Next is the quiet room where the master of the palace takes a rest. Han Wang said: "The master of the palace has a spiritual machine for practice in the quiet room, which is no different than the spiritual veins above. Therefore, the elders of the three halls also spend a lot of their daily life and practice in the palace." "
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, but the two of them did not go back inside. They went back to the front hall and sat down. Before they had said a few words, they heard the sound of ringing bells coming from outside.
Xu Zhuang heard the voice and called out: "Please come in."
Then an elder who had just met him came into the inner room, clasped his hands and said, "Yun Fengsheng has met the palace master."
Xu Zhuang responded and asked, "What's the matter with Elder Yun?"
Yun Fengsheng said: "On the order of the deputy palace master, I will hand over the rubbings of everything in the palace to the palace master." He took out several slips from his arms and said at the same time: "There is another important thing among them. The deputy palace master If the master can't make up his mind, the palace master needs to take a look."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang nodded and said, "Take it and let me have a look."
Yun Fengsheng was ordered to select a simple letter and handed it to Xu Zhuang's hand. Xu Zhuang's spiritual sense swept up and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
What was written in this slip was actually the application of the Chen family in the sect to be a Taoist soldier of the sect.
There are quite a few reasons why this matter has to do with Xu Zhuang. Although Xu Zhuang has settled the feud with the Chen family, the situation that arose due to this has not subsided, but has intensified.
I don’t know whether it was due to long-standing grievances or an undercurrent behind the scenes that was fueling the flames. The Chen family and the Tianhuo Yang family suddenly broke up completely.
The two parties were at loggerheads over their property outside the sect, and the clansmen's children would come into contact with each other when walking outside. If they were not worried that the situation would rise to the level of a sectarian dispute, the two parties might have officially started a war.
As for the Chen family's application to the Taoist Army Hall, firstly, they felt that the Yang family and the Chen family's fire did not care about the cost, and they were afraid that the Tianhuo sect would be behind them to help. Secondly, the Chen family applied for a property guarded by the sect's Taoist soldiers. The spiritual veins that continuously produce Yuyang Zhensha have been reported to the Shangfa Hall by the Chen family, and they want to be registered in the door.
Of course, there is no way of knowing whether Chen originally wanted to register his spiritual veins in the sect, or whether he did this because he wanted to use the power of the sect to preserve the industry.
In short, although the Shangfa Palace has not yet sent out disciples to explore, the Yuyang Spirit Vein is already half of Taisu's property, so Chen hopes that the Dao Soldier Palace will dispatch Dao soldiers to guard it.
This matter can be big or small. If it is big, it can rise to the level of the sect, and I am afraid that the agenda needs to be submitted to the Shangshi Palace. If it is small, it is just an order from the Jade Cauldron Hall.
However, Yun Hengshi did not blame the matter on Xu Zhuang, but asked Xu Zhuang whether he needed to formally discuss the matter in the Jade Cauldron Hall.
In a sense, Yun Hengshi seemed to have taken the initiative to accept Xu Zhuang to take over the important affairs of the Jade Cauldron Palace, which was also one of the reasons for Xu Zhuang's surprise.
Putting the slips in his hands together, Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and said, "Please leave these rubbings here for now. I will look at them one by one."
Upon hearing this, Yun Fengsheng hurriedly raised his hands and put the remaining rubbings on Xu Zhuang's director's case, then bowed and left.
Xu Zhuang weighed the slip of paper in his hand and said jokingly: "It seems that Master Yun is not doing anything illegal."
While Xu Zhuang was talking to Yun Fengsheng, Han Wang remained silent on the sidelines. Only then did he smile and say, "I'm trying to judge a gentleman's heart for the sake of my brother."
When Xu Zhuang heard this, he just smiled and stopped talking about the internal affairs of the Jade Cauldron Hall. He asked himself, "Senior brother, can you tell me about senior brother Fengyuanliu?"
"Oh?" Han Wang said thoughtfully: "Senior brother Feng is from the Feng family, and he has been practicing Nascent Soul for nearly four hundred years. Before I became an elixir, the true legend of the sect was that senior brother Zhang and senior brother Feng fought against the tripod... …”
Xu Zhuang said: "Senior Brother Guanfeng seems not to want to see my younger brother?"
Zhang Tingxian, Han Wang, and Fengyuanliu were sitting on the right rear of Xu Zhuang when they were watching the ceremony in the Shangshi Hall. It was naturally not difficult for Xu Zhuang to tell who made the soft hum, and after the ceremony, Fengyuanliu did not After talking to Xu Zhuang, he left.
When Han Wang heard the words, he didn't hide it and said bluntly: "Junior brother should also know that you now have a reputation in Shenzhou and among the sects that only rises in a thousand years. Because of this, senior brother Feng may be dissatisfied. Junior brother, don't worry too much."
Xu Zhuang just nodded when he heard the words, and Han Wang asked: "Junior brother asked about the Zhengfa Hall and Senior Brother Feng, but do you need help from the Zhengfa Hall for something? You also know that my brother once served as the deputy director of the Law Enforcement Academy, maybe he can help. busy."
When talking about this matter, Xu Zhuang snorted softly and said: "I don't want Zhengfa Palace's help, but I want to hold the Law Academy accountable."
"Oh?" Han Wang frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Xu Zhuang didn't even think about covering it up, so he told Qin Dengxiao's story. Han Wang listened carefully, with an unhappy look on his face, and said, "How can this be true? Is what my junior brother said true?"
"Although my disciple has been recently recruited, his character has been examined and he has not lied in front of me." Xu Zhuang said: "But I also know that the words of a family should not be counted, so I still need to learn from the Law Enforcement Academy. In the middle, I came to Xie Zhi to record a review."
Han Wang responded: "This matter is easy to hear. I still have some old departments in the Law Enforcement Academy. I can transfer the transcripts for my junior brother, but..."
Xu Zhuang asked, "Senior brother, please tell me if you have something to say."
Han Wang nodded and said: "In any case, the Law Enforcement Court is under the jurisdiction of Zhengfa Palace. If you and I intervene rashly, Zhengfa Palace must not look good on its face. If Junior Brother can trust me, maybe I can write to Senior Brother Feng." One letter and ask him about it.”
As if he was afraid that Xu Zhuang would misunderstand, Han Wang added: "Senior Brother Feng has always been arrogant and arrogant. He may be dissatisfied with Junior Brother, but if he is said to be obstructing him, it is absolutely impossible. Brother Feng can vouch for it."
Xu Zhuang's brows moved, he thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "In that case, let's do what senior brother said."
Han Wang smiled when he heard the words and said: "Good." He took out the letter from his sleeve, wrote a few strokes on it with his fingertips, folded it, took out a golden sword, hung up the letter, and read: " Go." The golden sword flew out immediately.
He actually used the golden sword to pass the letter, which shows that Han Wang takes this matter seriously.
Seeing this, Xu Zhuang's face became a little brighter, and he started talking to Han Wang about other things. However, before they had even talked for a few words, he suddenly heard a slight whistling sound. between moments.
Han Wang took the golden sword, took off the letterhead on the sword and opened it, his eyes also flashed with sternness.
Xu Zhuang asked: "Senior brother?"
Han Wang nodded slightly, handed the letter over and said, "Junior brother will know it as soon as he sees it."
Xu Zhuang took the letter and scanned it, then sneered.
Fengyuan Liuxin said that he learned from Zhengfa Hall that the reason for this incident was that an elder from Ziguang Hall put pressure on the Law Enforcement Yuan and said that the friendship between Taisu and Yuxiao should not be damaged, so the Law Enforcement Yuan sentenced Qin Dengxiao to apologize. After apologizing, Qin Dengxiao refused to comply until death, and was finally banned by the Law Enforcement Academy.
It turned out that after Taisu's third sect competition, the envoys sent by Yuxiao to watch the ceremony had not yet left to return to the mountain because they had to pay homage to their colleagues.
And after the Yuxiao disciple came to the door, it was only because Yuxiao sent an envoy to stand up for him that he was able to go to the Law Enforcement Academy.
The Purple Light Palace is precisely where the Prime Minister's sect conducts foreign affairs. The elder, perhaps due to his duties or having an old relationship with the envoy sent by Yuxiao, could not help but explain the situation and asked the deacon of the Law Academy who was handling the matter. Pressure, this is what happened next.
Xu Zhuang perked up the letter, pressed it on the case, and said coldly: "It's a stupid thing to be in a bad position."
Han Wang frowned and said thoughtfully: "Junior brother, let's leave this matter to Senior Brother Feng. I will definitely restore my nephew's innocence."
Xu Zhuang asked calmly: "What kind of innocence?"
Han Wang also knew what Xu Zhuang meant and sighed: "The Zhengfa Hall will not forgive those who are in bad positions. The Law Enforcement Court will also remove the martial nephew's ban, and there will be no further pursuit." It will not be recorded.”
Xu Zhuang sneered and said, "What if I asked that disciple of the Yuxiao Sect to apologize to my disciple?"
Han Wang frowned and said: "This is about the envoy sent by Yuxiao, I'm afraid..."
Xu Zhuang raised his hand and said, "I know what senior brother means, and I will handle this matter personally."
Han Wang sighed and said: "If the friendship between the two factions is hurt, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain things to the master of Ziguang Palace."
Xu Zhuang said calmly: "Senior brother, don't worry, I think the Yuxiao sect will be sensible."
Han Wang couldn't help but choked when he heard this, and had to smile bitterly: "What do you want to do, junior brother?"
Xu Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Who is the envoy sent by Yuxiao to watch the ceremony? Where does he live?"
Han Wang thought for a moment and responded: "The Yuxiao sect is observing the ceremony this time. Daoji and Lianfa disciples are not included. They are headed by the two venerables, accompanied by the true disciple Fang Shizhe, who lives on the Xuanquan Island arranged by Ziguang Palace."
"Huh?" Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, tapped his fingertips on the case, and suddenly smiled: "In that case, I will go directly to the Yuxiao envoy to reason."
