As the six monks who sold fake elixirs were escorted to Tianhefang and each was sentenced to five hundred years in prison, the gods in Penglai Tianjie suddenly became more disciplined and orderly.
Now Fang Jian only needs to walk around Penglaitian Street every day, which is enough to intimidate all the young people.
A few months passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Fang Jianzheng came out of Mingsu Garden and went to Penglai Tianjie to inspect the office.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of the lobby, I saw Patrol Captain Su Ye standing there, seemingly waiting for someone.
Fang Jian walked to the door, bowed his hands to Su Ye, and then prepared to enter the lobby.
But at this moment, Su Ye said to Fang Jian: "Master Hongqing, please stay."
Fang Jian stopped, turned to look at Su Ye and said with a smile, "What can I do for Lieutenant Su?"
Su Ye hesitated for a moment, then said to Fang Jian: "Master Hongqing, there is a great man from Shushan who wants to see you."
"Shu Mountain?" Fang Jian frowned and said, "There are many sects in Shu Mountain, including Taoism and Buddha. Which sect in Shu Mountain is the great master you are talking about?"
The Shu Mountain here is the only place to look at the "Shu Mountain" in the Shu County of the Tang Dynasty. It has been a holy land for spiritual practice since ancient times.
However, Shushan is just a general term, not a family name. After all, Shushan is an endless mountain range, and there are countless monks and sects practicing here. Any one of these people can say that they are Shushan monks.
"It's Master Situ of the Shushan Sword Control Sect." Su Ye said.
"Sword Controlling Sect?" When Fang Jian heard this, information about this Sword Controlling Sect immediately appeared in his mind.
Then I heard Fang Jian say: "This sword-controlling sect specializes in the art of sword-controlling. It is the duty of the sect to kill demons and eliminate demons. It has the style of a human chivalry. I heard that the leader of this sword-controlling sect is named 'Jian'." Holy', huh?"
Su Ye nodded and said: "Yes, the name is Sword Saint, and he is actually a Sword Saint. It is said that this person's sword control skills have been superb and he is very proficient. In this sword control skills, there is no one below Taiyi Golden Immortal who is better than him." .”
"So he's just a golden immortal?" Fang Jian asked.
Su Ye nodded and said: "Exactly, the Master Situ who wants to see you is the younger brother of the Sword Master and a Golden Immortal."
"What does he want to see me for?" Fang Jian asked.
Su Ye shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. I just happened to meet him while patrolling the street that day, so he asked me to ask you. If you are free, he would like to invite you to Lanyue Pavilion in Zuixian Tower. See."
Fang Jian nodded slightly when he heard the words and said, "Since you want to see me, there's no harm in meeting me. Just tell him that I'll be free tonight."
"Okay, Master Hongqing." Su Ye said in response.
Suddenly, Fang Jian seemed to remember something and said quickly: "Wait a minute."
Su Ye raised his head and looked at Fang Jian and said, "What's wrong? Does Master Hongqing still have an explanation?"
Fang Jian said: "Tell him, I have no merit, and I don't need to eat or drink. If he wants to arrange a banquet, there is no need. If he really buys these fine wines and delicacies, let him pay the bill and enjoy it himself."
"..." Su Ye was speechless when he heard this.
But she quickly came to her senses and sighed that this Master Hongqing really abides by the laws of heaven and has a breeze on his sleeves.
Wouldn’t the dignified fourth-grade minister of Taixuan City, the god of justice, the famous Master Hongqing not have this merit?
Of course not, it’s just that people don’t want to be extravagant and wasteful, let alone accept bribes.
Thinking of this, Su Ye felt extremely ashamed. It seemed that he still had to learn from Master Hongqing!
Of course, what she definitely didn't expect was that the famous Master Hongqing in front of her was indeed a pauper in terms of merit.
...
Immortal officials are on the job full-time, and you can take leave if you have something to do, but as long as you don't take leave, it will be assumed that you are always on the job.
However, there is a difference. Calculated according to the terrestrial calendar, the period from Xianguan Mao hour to Mao hour of the office you serve, and then the next eight hours (16 hours) are your mandatory working hours.
In other words, from Mao hour to Xu hour, during these eight hours, the immortal officials must perform their duties and responsibilities. During this period, they must strictly abide by the official duties of the Immortal Official Law. If something goes wrong during this period and you Failure to be present is a crime of dereliction of duty.
After Xu Shi, that is, from Xu Shi to Yin Shi, you can do other things during these four hours, or relax. During these four hours, even if something happens and you are not there in time, you will not be cured. Crime of dereliction of duty.
At Xu time, Fang Jian returned to the inspection department's Yamen to report Xu. Reporting to Xu means that the immortal official would record the big and small things that happened that day, write a report and submit it at Xu time.
If nothing happens, you can write "Nothing happens today", then stamp your seal on the jade plate and submit it. This is also a kind of "attendance check".
After the report, Fang Jian walked out of the inspection department's Yamen together with Wang Yao, the supervisor, Zhang Lou, Li Fan, Su Ye, Chuan Hongling and others.
"Master Hongqing, are you really not going?" Chan Hongling asked Fang Jian, "I'm treating you to a vegetarian banquet today."
Su Ye also said: "Master Hongqing, you can meet Master Situ tomorrow. I just go and tell him. You can't miss this fasting banquet."
"Yes." Wang Yao, the host, also said to Fang Jian: "This fasting banquet is a unique skill of Buddhist monk Yongzhi, and the materials used are also the mountains and rivers of Xumi Buddha. It is rare that Hong Ling is treating us today, so you can come with us. .”
Everyone stared at Fang Jian closely. Fang Jian thought for a while and then said to Hong Ling: "It's not that I don't give face to my colleagues. Since I have agreed to meet him today, I can't break my promise. Please ask Hong Ling to say Friends, please don’t blame me.”
Zhuan Hongling was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but he quickly smiled and said: "What did Master Hongqing say? Master Hongqing keeps his promise like this. He is a role model for our generation. How can Hongling blame him?"
"That's good." After Fang Jian finished speaking, he cupped his hands to everyone and said, "Then I'll go first."
Everyone quickly raised their hands and said, "Master Hongqing, please excuse me."
After Fang Jian left everyone in the Inspection Department, he went all the way to Zuixian Tower.
The boy in front of Zuixian Tower naturally recognized Fang Jian and hurriedly came up to him and said, "Master Hongqing, you are here."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Someone said they wanted to meet me here, so of course I will come."
The boy on the left was startled when he heard this and said, "Does anyone want to see Master Hongqing here?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, it's at Lanyue Pavilion in Zuixian Tower."
When the boy on the right heard about Lan Yueting, he immediately slapped his forehead and said: "That's right, Da Gourd said that he wanted to meet a noble person in Zuixian Tower. I didn't expect that this noble person turned out to be Zhenren Hongqing."
"I am not a noble person." Fang Jian said with a smile: "I am just an ordinary immortal official under the rule of the Jade Emperor."
"Haha, Master Hongqing is joking." The two boys laughed when they heard Fang Jian's words, joking, who dares to treat you as an ordinary immortal official.
"Since Master Hongqing is a distinguished guest invited by Da Gulu, please come with Master Hongqing." The boy on the right said, and then said to the boy on the left: "You watch here, I will take Master Hongqing there." Lan Yueting. "
"Okay, okay." The boy on the left nodded and said.
Then the boy on the right made a 'please' gesture towards Fang Jian, and then led Fang Jian all the way into the back courtyard of Zuixian Tower, then passed through the ring corridor and pavilions, and went straight to the Moon Pavilion.
On the way, Fang Fangjian asked the boy, "Is the big gourd you are talking about the Master Situ from Shushan?"
Hearing this, the boy in front turned around and said with a smile: "Yes, he is also a regular customer of our Zuixian Tower. Because he often brings a big purple and gold gourd with him, we call him Big Gourd."
Fang Jian smiled slightly when he heard this, nodded and stopped asking.
After the two passed through several more pavilions and pavilions, they finally came to a beautiful mountain courtyard shaded by bamboo groves. Although this mountain courtyard was a landscape created with magic power, it was very graceful and graceful.
In the middle of the mountain courtyard, clear pools, flowing springs, and gurgling jade water converged into a small lake like a crescent moon.
A beautiful, elegant square pavilion is located in the center of the mountain courtyard, above a clear spring and small lake.
