Fang Jian met with his subordinates and envoys from various ministries, departments, and bureaus of the Heavenly Court in the Chengwu Hall. After introducing each other, he saw Huan Fan, the envoy of the Tianshu Capital Provincial Hall, stood up and raised his hands and said: "Master Hongqing. "
Fang Jian looked at Huan Fan, who was dressed in a third-grade martial arts immortal official robe, with his hair tied up, and his eyes were clear and wise, and he immediately said: "What can envoy Huantang give you?"
Huan Fan shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't dare to take the advice seriously. I have been ordered by Tianshu Dulu to send an invitation to Master Hongqing."
"Oh?" Fang Jian said in surprise: "Invitation?"
What surprised Fang Jian the most was that this invitation was sent by Tianshu Dulu, but he didn't know Tianshu Dulu?
The so-called Tianshu Dulu is the chief officer of the Tianshu Du Bureau. Like the Taixuan Bureau, he is a super-grade immortal official.
The immortal officials of Tianting are divided into two major systems: Wenlin and Wulin. The head of Wenlin is Taixuan Capital Province, and the head of Wulin is Tianshu Capital Province.
Below Taixuan Capital Province and Tianshu Capital Province, there are two small systems respectively, namely Taixuan Department Bureau and Tianshu Capital Department Bureau.
Therefore, in the order of heaven, Taixuandu Province and Tianshudu Province are on the same level, and the reason why Taixuandu Province now controls all the powers is because Jiutian Xuannv also serves as the chief envoy of Taixuandu Province.
Jiutian Xuannv's immortal position or status in heaven is 'Emperor', second only to the Four Imperial Palaces, the Duke of the East and the Queen Mother of the West.
Therefore, after Jiutian Xuannv also served as the chief envoy of Taixuan Capital Province, Taixuan Capital Province directly controlled all authority.
It is precisely because of this that Tianshu Dulu is the second in command of the entire martial arts immortal official sequence.
Huan Fan nodded and said: "Exactly, Tianshu Dulu is grateful for the kindness of Master Hongqing, so he wants to hold a banquet in the mansion to repay Master Hongqing for helping him escape the disaster."
After Huan Fan said this, the envoys from the surrounding ministries, departments, and bureaus were not surprised, but Fang Jian was very surprised and said: "Tianshu Dulu wants to thank me?"
Fang Jian hesitated for a moment, but immediately reacted and asked: "Dare you ask Tianshu's name?"
Huan Fan said with a smile: "Tianshu Dulu is a newly granted title. He just took office a few days ago. His common name is 'Jiao Shu' and his Taoist name is 'Qingyue Zhenren'."
"Jiaoshu!" When Fang Jian heard the name, he immediately realized, isn't this the Tianhan Golden Dragon?
Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, this Tianhan Golden Dragon was appointed as Tianshu Dulu by the chief envoy just after he was resurrected. After all, he was the Houtian Dragon God, and now after his resurrection, he has restored the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao in its heyday. Okay, it’s normal to have such reuse.
However, in the face of Jiao Shu's invitation, Fang Jian still replied decisively: "Please convey my sincere gratitude to Tianshu Dulu, but I'm afraid I don't have time recently, so please forgive Tianshu Dulu."
Huan Fan nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, Tianshu Dulu has informed me that if Master Hongqing doesn't have time, he can wait until he is free to invite me in the future to express his gratitude."
Just as he was talking, a clear voice came from outside the Chengwu Hall: "I would like to report to the inspector, my subordinate Yang Xiu, please see me."
Yang Xiu, as the chief clerk of the Three Realms Inspection Department, is Fang Jian's deputy. When Fang Jian is not in the Inspection Department, he has the authority to take charge of all affairs of the Inspection Department. His authority is only one less than that of Fang Jian. Just patrolling the three realms.
But facing Fang Jian, he acted like an ordinary subordinate, without the airs that a deputy should have. In fact, it is easy to understand that no matter who it is, facing a boss like Fang Jian, he will unconsciously put his own identity on the line. Lower the bit.
There is no way, Fang Jian's reputation in heaven has been too great in recent years.
"Master Yang, please come into the palace to speak." Although Yang Xiu's position was very low, Fang Jian still had to give him the respect he deserved.
Therefore, after Yang Xiu entered the palace, Fang Jian immediately gave Yang Xiu a seat.
However, Yang Xiu did not sit down directly. Instead, he said to Fang Jian: "To inform the inspector, all the people have been sent to the Lei Department. I am here to return my orders."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately stood up and said to Yang Xiu, "Well done."
"I don't dare to praise you as an inspector." Yang Xiu bowed and bowed.
Fang Jian smiled slightly, then walked up to Yang Xiu and said, "I have to go to the Lei Department to do something now. Chief Yang, please accompany the envoys on my behalf."
Yang Xiu was slightly startled, then immediately responded: "Yes."
After finishing speaking, Fang Jian turned around and said to the immortal officials: "My dear envoys, I'm sorry to accompany you."
The envoys immediately stood up and said, "Master Hongqing, please excuse me."
...
Then Fang Jian took a Shu Ling Shi to the Ministry of Lei. No matter where the three realm inspectors went, they must take a Shu Ling Shi with them to record and archive at any time.
On the way to the Lei Department, Fang Jian asked as if chatting: "Your name is Wang Ji, right?"
Shu Ling Shi, who was walking behind Fang Jian, was startled when he heard this, and then immediately said: "The inspector has a really good memory. My name is Wang Ji."
Everyone had introduced themselves before, and Fang Jian certainly remembered their names.
"Do gods have bad memories?" Fang Jian said with a smile.
Wang Ji said: "Yes, I have met an immortal with a very poor memory."
"Oh?" Fang Jian said in surprise: "Who is it?"
Wang Ji said: "The Dragon King of the West Sea, who took office as an inspector a hundred years ago, that is, the real person of Hedong, received a notice: It is said that five thousand years ago, the Dragon King of the West Sea betrothed one of his dragon girls to the Dragon King of the North Sea. Thirteen dragons are wives. But
Five thousand years have passed. Every time the Dragon King of the North Sea went to propose marriage, he was pushed back by the Dragon King of the West Sea for various reasons. Until a hundred years ago, the Dragon King of the North Sea couldn't bear it anymore and directly sued the Dragon King of the West Sea in a letter. So Hedong Zhenren went to Xihai personally to mediate. "
"What did the Dragon King of the West Sea say?" Fang Jian asked.
Wang Ji said: "The Dragon King of the West Sea said that he 'forgot'. The Dragon King of the North Sea said that the Dragon King of the West Sea started to push for it three thousand years ago. Every time he said that he would marry his daughter in a hundred years, but every time after a hundred years, the Dragon King of the North Sea went. When we proposed marriage, the Dragon King of the West Sea said 'forgot' and suggested that the Dragon King of the North Sea wait for another hundred years...and then hundreds of years after that."
Fang Jian asked again: "Then how did Hedong Zhenren mediate last time?"
Wang Ji said: "The result of the last mediation by Hedong Zhenren was that the daughter of the Dragon King of the West Sea and the son of the Dragon King of the North Sea will get married in a hundred years."
Having said this, Wang Ji counted his fingers and said, "It seems like it's only been the past two days."
Fang Jian smiled slightly and said: "Then I wish this newlywed couple who have been waiting for five thousand years a happy marriage. However, do you really believe that the Dragon King of the West Sea has a poor memory?"
Wang Ji heard this and said: "In fact, if necessary, gods can also become poor in memory. Another example is that Taishang Laojun borrowed the willow branch from the Nanhai Guanshiyin Jade Purity Vase ten thousand years ago and has not returned it until now. I’m afraid I’ve also ‘forgot’ it!”
I have heard of this Fang Jian. It is said that Taishang Laojun often made bets with Guanyin on whether his Bagua furnace could refine Guanyin's willow branches.
Therefore, in the Tushita Palace, you can sometimes see Taishang Laojun and Guanyin standing side by side, one lighting the fire and the other throwing his own willow branches into the stove to burn.
If the willow branches are burned by the Bagua furnace, Guanyin will lose. If the Bagua furnace does not burn the willow branches, Taishang Laojun will lose.
Of course, this bet is fair and just. Taishang Laojun is not allowed to use the power of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, but simply uses the power of real fire and Bagua furnace.
Therefore, there are losses and wins between the two, especially the one who loses will definitely not accept it, and will take the initiative to make a bet again next time.
