Tianshi Mansion, Dragon and Tiger Palace.
The Great Heavenly Master Zhang Huan was sitting on the top chair, holding a crystal clear jade ball in his hand and playing with it happily. His feet were hanging in the air, rocking back and forth.
Liu Ji sat quietly next to Zhang Huan, looking after Zhang Huan while sweeping his eyes around the three Futian Masters, the seven sacrificial wines and Fang Jian in the hall.
Finally, Liu Zhaoye took the lead to stand up, cupped his hands towards Fang Jian and said, "Master Hongqing."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately stood up and returned the courtesy and said, "Master Liu."
Liu Zhaoye smiled and nodded, then pointed to the seven wine sacrificers below and said, "Let me introduce you to Master Hongqing." After that, Liu Zhaoye pointed to the seven wine sacrificers and introduced them to Fang Jian. They are:
Wang Zhonghuo offered sacrifices to the Discipline Hall, Yuan Zhongying offered sacrifices to the Expeditionary Academy, Huang Zhongwu offered sacrifices to the Jungle Temple, Zhao Zhongxin offered sacrifices to the Devil's Elimination Hall, Peng Zhongkai offered sacrifices to the Tuiye Hall, Ding Zhongyuan offered sacrifices to the Seal Script Academy, and Lin Zhongtian, the president of the Education Academy .
After Fang Jian met with the seven winemakers one by one, Liu Zhaoye invited everyone to take their seats again.
But as soon as Fang Jian sat down, Qu Han, the assistant heavenly master, asked Fang Jian: "May I ask Master Hongqing, is there an edict from heaven to convey to us?
This is a very important matter, so Qu Han asked about it in his first sentence.
Fang Jian shook his head when he heard this and said: "There is no edict in heaven."
After hearing Fang Jian's words, the three Futian Masters all looked at each other, with confusion and surprise in their eyes.
In their opinion, there must be an edict from heaven telling them what to do, but Fang Jian said there was not, which made them feel a little confused.
But Fang Jian said no, so they couldn't ask anymore now and just suppressed the matter.
Then I heard Futian Master Gao Jing ask: "May I ask Master Hongqing, when will Heaven send soldiers and generals to the Haolan Realm?"
Fang Jian shook his head and said: "I don't know about this either. Everything depends on the arrangements of the chief envoy. The purpose of my coming here is to help the Tianshi Mansion stabilize the situation, waiting for the Heavenly Court to send troops."
The three Futian Masters could understand Fang Jian's words. They knew that the 'Great Envoy' mentioned by Fang Jian was the Nine Heavens Profound Girl recorded in the sect's classics. Such a great master would certainly not tell Tai Yi if he had a plan. Mysterious.
In their opinion, Fang Jian was just a young general sent by the Heavenly Court to 'step in' in the Haolan Realm, and they would definitely not know such a big thing as when the Heavenly Court would send troops.
However, even if he is just a young general, he is still a young general sent by Heavenly Court, and his Dao Xing is on par with the three of them, so they naturally have to respect him.
So I just heard Liu Zhaoye say: "Master Hongqing, the four ancestors of the Heavenly Masters issued a decree, asking us to arrange a position for you, Master Hongqing, in the Celestial Master's Mansion. I wonder what position Master Hongqing would like to hold?"
Fang Jian pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then said: "I just heard about the seven wine ministers. I think the positions in the Tianshi Mansion have been filled, right?"
Liu Zhaoye nodded and said: "That's true, but Master Hongqing came from heaven, and we have obtained the decrees of the four ancestors, so naturally we have to consider Master Hongqing.
Speaking of this, Liu Zhaoye said: "There are nine priests in our Tianshi Mansion, but after years of changes, there are now seven. Two of them have been reduced to the 'deacon' level, so this Tianshi is here It is proposed that these two siyuan be re-upgraded to the level of 'jiujiu' and merged into one, with Master Hongqing serving as the 'jiujiu'.'
After speaking, Liu Zhaoye asked the other two Futian Masters and the seven sacrificial wine men: "I wonder what the two junior brothers and junior nephews think?
After Liu Zhaoye finished speaking, he heard Fu Tianshi Qu Han ask: "Senior brother, do you mean to merge the 'Zhenbao Palace' with the 'Shifangyuan'?"
Liu Zhaoye nodded and said: "Yes, the Zhenbao Palace and the Shifang Courtyard will be merged into the 'Baofang Courtyard', and Master Hongqing will serve as the sacrificial wine. After hearing Liu Zhaoye's suggestion, the seven sacrificial wines present started talking about it, but only for a moment After that, they all held their hands together and said: We have no objection.'
Liu Zhaoye looked at Qu Han and Gao Jing again. After Qu Han and Gao Jing looked at each other, they nodded and said, "We have no objection." Finally, Liu Zhaoye asked Fang Jian, "What do you think Mr. Hongqing wants?"
Fang Jian asked: "May I ask Master Liu, what is the business of the director of Baofangyuan?"
Liu Zhaoye said: "Well, Baofangyuan has two responsibilities. One is to be in charge of all the treasures and treasures of Tianshi Mansion, and to collect, harvest, store, supply and allocate all the materials needed by Tianshi Mansion. Generally speaking, , Baofangyuan is in charge of the Tianshi Mansion’s treasure house, and has the right to decide the allocation and supply of all materials in the treasure house.”
"Secondly, the director of Baofangyuan is in charge of the relationship between the Tianshi Mansion and the outside world. Oh, Master Hongqing, let me put it more informally, it is the Honglu Temple in the mortal kingdom. It is in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the Tianshi Mansion." Liu Zhaoye said slowly
If it were someone else, he would definitely ask at this time: "Does the Tianshi Mansion still have diplomacy now?"
But Fang Jian didn't ask. He just pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, I will follow Liu Tianshi's arrangement and take charge of Baofangyuan.'
Liu Zhaoye was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect Fang Jian to agree so simply without bargaining? No, an immortal official from heaven shouldn't be so naive, right?
But Liu Zhaoye reacted quickly. He immediately understood that Fang Jian might have heard that he was in charge of the "Treasure House" of Tianshi Mansion, so he simply agreed.
Not only Liu Zhaoye thought so, but Qu Han and Gao Jing, the two Futian Masters, also thought so.
"This Master Hongqing has suffered a big loss. I'm afraid he doesn't know it yet, right?" Next, Yuan Zhongying, the wine concubine from the Expeditionary Academy, sent a message to Huang Zhongwu, the wine worshipper from the Jungle Temple next to him.
Huang Zhongwu smiled slightly and said through a message: "He doesn't even think about it. If there are really treasures in the Tianshi Mansion's treasury, will he be demoted to the 'Deacon' level?"
But Fang Jian remained calm. How could he not have thought of this?
Leave the Tianshi Mansion's treasure house under your control. Haha, the entire Eastern Continent is desolate and barren like this. There are ghosts only if there are treasures in the treasure house.
As for the diplomacy of the Tianshi Mansion, the Tianshi Mansion is now compressed and besieged on the Eastern Continent by the heretic demons and the Haolan Realm Temple. It uses earth veins and earth energy to form formations to protect itself. What kind of diplomacy can it have?
It seems that the two positions were merged and given to Fang Jian, but in fact they are just two false positions, just mascots hanging high.
However, Fang Jian readily accepted it. The reason was simple. It didn't matter if he held a false position. What he wanted was the authority and name of these two positions, and that was enough.
After arranging Fang Jian's duties, everyone will start talking about business.
Just listen to Liu Zhaoye say: "Junior brothers and nephews, now our Heavenly Master's Palace occupies the east continent, and the God King's Palace and those external demons occupy the west continent. Our Heavenly Master, the heavenly masters and heroes of all generations want to break the situation from the outside and reverse the situation. But After so many years,
The result was minimal. Since the death of the last Great Heavenly Master, our Heavenly Master's Mansion has lost six Great Heavenly Masters, fifteen Assistant Heavenly Masters, and countless outstanding disciples since it retreated to the Eastern Continent. "
When Liu Zhaoye said this, there was silence in the entire Dragon and Tiger Palace, and even a faint sobbing could be heard.
Fang Jian turned around and saw that it was Liu Ji who was crying, probably thinking of his husband.
"Fortunately, the sky will not destroy our Tianshi Mansion." Liu Zhaoye said this, pointing at Fang Jian and said: "Heaven sent Master Hongqing. I believe that soon the heavenly army and the four ancestors will be able to come to the Haolan Realm, and in one fell swoop Eliminate demonic rebellion and reorder the world.
"So I think that our Tianshi Mansion should continue to uphold the resolution made two years ago, continue to develop internal strength, stabilize the situation in the Eastern Continent, and wait for the arrival of the heavenly army." Liu Zhaoye said.
Fang Jian heard this and said: "Master Liu Tianshi, I see that the formation above my head is extracting the energy of the Eastern Continent veins day by day to maintain itself, I'm afraid it won't last for many years.
Liu Zhaoye said: "We have already seen this. Now the earth's veins and earth's energy in the entire Eastern Continent can still maintain the Dharma Protector Formation for five years. These five years are enough.
Fang Jian said in surprise: "Oh? Why is five years enough?"
Liu Zhaoye smiled and said: "Master Hongqing is joking, within five years the heavenly army has arrived in the Haolan Realm, so naturally there is no need for this Dharma Protector Formation anymore.
Fang Jian was speechless when he heard this, "Are you looking forward to this? Moreover, the chief envoy has not decided when to send troops to the Haolan Realm at all. Do you think there is nothing else in the Heavenly Court? Are you just focusing on the Haolan Realm?"
But after all, he had just arrived at Tianshi Mansion, and Fang Jian couldn't refute Liu Zhaoye, so he just sat there noncommittally.
Then Liu Zhaoye, together with two other Celestial Masters and seven sacrificial wines, discussed the strategy of the Celestial Master's Mansion in the next five years. In general, they were to rely on the Dharma Protector Formation to completely shrink back to the Eastern Continent. Don't think about external matters. Haotianshifu and Donglu conserved their own strength and waited for the arrival of the heavenly army, then they counterattacked the West Continent together.
From this strategic point of view, the problem is not big. It is correct to preserve one's own strength and not to make fearless sacrifices. But there is one thing that is wrong, and it is extremely wrong, and that is to place all hopes on heaven.
What if heaven does not come within five years?
Therefore, Fang Jian raised his own question about this: "I dare to ask the three Futian Masters, if the Heavenly Court cannot come to the Haolan Realm within five years, won't it be possible that hundreds of millions of creatures in the Eastern Continent will be trapped in the clutches of the devil?'
Liu Zhaoye frowned when he heard this, but soon relaxed, and asked Fang Jian: "What's the clever plan for Master Hongqing?" Fang Jian said: "We still have to actively look outside and seek to break the situation."
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, Qu Han asked him: "Is Master Hongqing the Taoist Taiyi Xuanxing?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Not bad."
Qu Han said: "As far as we know, among the heretic true demons on the Western Continent, there are Jinxian and Taiyi Jinxian. We have not even reached the level of Jinxian. If we leave this Dharma Protector Formation, we will die."
Fang Jian opened his mouth, but he still swallowed the words when they reached his throat.
Fang Jian knew very well that Taiyi Golden Immortal could not threaten him, but if he said it now, people would only think that he was bragging, so he swallowed it back.
At this time, Assistant Heavenly Master Gao Jing asked Fang Jian: "How many levels of immortal officials does Master Hongqing hold in Heaven?"
Fang Jiandao: "Third rank, inspector of the three realms."
Gao Jing smiled and said: "How does that compare to the four ancestors?"
Fang Jian said: "The four ancestral heavenly masters are great virtues of Xuanmen and top-level immortal officials in heaven. How can I, Fang Jian, dare to compare them with them.
When Gao Jing heard this, he still smiled and said: "How does Master Hongqing know when Heaven will send troops to Hao Lan Realm and when it won't?'
Good guy, you are using the status of your ancestors to put pressure on yourself!
There is a big problem with the thinking of the Tianshi Mansion in the Haolan Realm, and Fang Jian finally discovered this.
It is true that the four Ancestral Heavenly Masters are higher than other Fang Jian in terms of virtue, cultivation, merit, and rank, but in Heaven it is not purely rank that determines everything.
But Fang Jian didn't want to explain, because he didn't bother to explain and was too lazy to explain.
But Fang Jian didn't explain, and everyone thought he had given in. This also made the three Futian Masters more and more convinced of their own judgments.
In this way, the Tianshi Mansion meeting that Fang Jian participated in for the first time ended with Liu Zhaoye and others' decision being passed unanimously, and Fang Jian remained silent throughout the whole process.
Later, the Tianshi Mansion issued an edict for Fang Jian to serve as Baofangyuan's wine-sacrifice, and received a wine-sacrifice certificate issued by the Tianshi Mansion, officially becoming the eighth wine-sacrifice of the Tianshi Mansion in the Haolan Realm.
