The clouds gathered and dispersed, and time flew by. In the blink of an eye, Fang Jian had been in Xitian Mansion for more than half a month, and he had basically mastered and become familiar with all the affairs of the post of Shangshu of Tianjun Mansion.
Generally speaking, apart from the fact that the Minister of Tianjun Mansion has no authority to use the "Golden Luck Plate" of Tianjun Mansion, the rest of the powers are no different from those of Tianjun.
The Minister of Tianjun's Mansion was originally the second-in-command to assist Tianjun in handling affairs in most continents. However, when Fang Jian had the "Jade Emperor's Dao Li" in hand, his authority was not limited by his official position.
As for having a second-in-command like Fang Jian, Youde Tianjun said that he was also under a lot of pressure. In terms of Taoism and practice, Fang Jian was as golden as him.
In terms of official priesthood, he is one level higher than Fang Jian, and he is Fang Jian's leader, but he knows that Fang Jian has the 'Jade Emperor's Dao Calendar' in his hand. If Fang Jian is stronger, there is no problem in directly ignoring him as the Heavenly Lord. of.
Fortunately, none of this happened. Fang Jian respected Tianjun Youde very much, and he did not rely on the power of the 'Jade Emperor' to suppress his boss.
In general, after the first half month of getting along, Youde Tianjun had a very good impression of Fang Jian, so he simply became a free man and left all the affairs of Tianjun Mansion to Fang Jian. .
In fact, Youde Tianjun himself was tired. Since he was appointed as Tianjun of Xiniu Hezhou, he has been working conscientiously to govern Xiniu Hezhou with his predecessor Wen Tianxiang.
Because this is the territory of Buddhism, it is much more difficult to do anything than in the other three continents. However, over the past hundreds of thousands of years, Youde Tianjun has managed the immortal official system of Xiniu Hezhou very firmly.
As a result, the immortal officials of Xiniu Hezhou are much better than the immortal officials of the other three major continents, both in terms of cultivation and ability.
You can imagine that as an immortal official in a continent that is entirely Buddhist territory, you will inevitably have to deal with Buddhism frequently. In this process, you have to resist the temptation of Buddhism and overcome all kinds of "difficulties" that suddenly appear. And this situation has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years under the leadership of Youde Tianjun. You can imagine the immortal official in Hezhou, Xiniu How powerful is the system?
So when Fang Jian checked the records of major events in Hezhou Tianjun Mansion in Xiniu over the past hundreds of thousands of years in the 'Xitian Temple', the words that appeared most frequently were the words "immortal official assessment, promotion, replacement, and arrest".
With the efforts of Youde Tianjun and Wen Tianxiang, the assessment of immortal officials in Xiniu Hezhou has become almost normalized, and half of the Shulingshi lower realm is sent out all year round to secretly monitor the behavior of immortal officials in the lower realm. Once they are found to be acting in violation of the rules of heaven, they will be arrested immediately. Arrest, interrogate, and convict. If the contact with Buddhism is too deep, it will be immediately removed.
Therefore, the purity of the Xiniu Hezhou Immortal Official System is quite high. This also makes Fang Jian admire the Youde Tianjun and the former Shangshu Wen Tianxiang. They can do this with one Xitianfu against the pressure of the entire Buddhist sect. Very powerful.
However, it is a pity that Youde Tianjun and Wen Tianxiang can only do this. They can only guarantee the purity of the Xiniu Hezhou Immortal Official System.
If you want to make greater achievements in the land of Xiniu Hezhou, Youde Tianjun and Wen Tianxiang are still unable to do so. Even sometimes, it is difficult to exercise the authority of Tianjun Mansion normally in Xiniu Hezhou, and many things will eventually fail. We can only let it go.
Fang Jian put down the book in his hand, turned around and walked out of the West Heaven Palace.
The next moment, Fang Jian had arrived at Hongde Hall, but Tianjun Youde was nowhere to be seen above the hall.
Fang Jian has become accustomed to it. Since he officially took control of the affairs of Tianjun Mansion, Tianjun Youde rarely came to Tianjun Mansion to take charge of affairs. Instead, he practiced in his own "Jiyun Palace".
However, the five heavenly generals are all working in their own offices at the moment, and sometimes they come out to walk around Bai Tuo Palace.
After Fang Jian took his seat in Hongde Hall, he said to a divine general in the hall: "Go and ask the ultimatum envoy to come see me."
Upon hearing this, the god general immediately raised his hands and said, "Follow the law and decree."
Not long after, Chai Zhou, the envoy of the ultimatum, came to Hongde Hall and paid homage to Fang Jian: "Shang Shu, are you looking for me?"
Fang Jian said to Chai Zhou: "Envoy, do you know if there is a tribe in Xiniu Hezhou called 'Qingjiang Demon Tribe' or a tribe named after 'Qingjiang'?"
Chai Zhou was startled when he heard the words, then shook his head and said: "I have never heard of this."
"Yes." Fang Jian nodded, and then said: "Please help me pay attention in the future. If you find any tribes, sects, or regions that are related to the word 'Qingjiang', you must report it to me as soon as possible."
Chai Zhou bowed respectfully and said, "I will obey the law."
...
Xiniu Hezhou, Shaluo Country, Bu Kong Mountain.
Fu Kongshan Mountain God Fox Lingzi stood outside the Mountain God's Mansion, looking at the endless and towering Fu Kong Mountain Mountains, and couldn't help but exhale a wisp of cold air.
Compared with Beiju Luzhou, Nanzhanbuzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhezhou is very cold and barren.
Not only are there many mountains here, but they are also dangerous, steep, high and dangerous. Even in summer, many mountain tops are covered with thick snow.
As the largest mountain range in the Sharo Kingdom, although there are Ganoderma lucidum, fairy grass, and rare birds and animals growing in Fu Kong Mountain, its number cannot compare with the other three continents.
If this Fu Kong Mountain were located in the other three continents, the cultivation resources produced there would be enough to support millions of monks.
But it is a pity that this is in Xiniu Hezhou. Hu Lingzi once made a rough calculation and found that the cultivation resources in Fu Kong Mountain can support up to 100,000 monks.
Hu Lingzi used his magic power and began to practice his magic and martial arts outside the Mountain God's Mansion to avoid being wasted.
After two hours like this, Hu Lingzi stopped and prepared to go back to the mountain temple to sit and practice. The life of an immortal official was also so boring. If there were no errands, every day would feel like dawdling.
Only after sending errands to Xitian Mansion, Hu Lingzi could feel his existence as a mountain god.
But just as Hu Lingzi was preparing for the mountain temple, he saw a figure walking with difficulty towards the peak where the mountain temple was located.
Hu Lingzi frowned slightly, and with his skills in the Yangshen Realm, he could clearly see that it was a demon cultivator, and a demon cultivator with a whole broken leg.
This demon cultivator looked extremely miserable. In addition to a broken leg, her whole body was also covered with scars.
Moreover, Hu Lingzi seemed to be familiar with this demon cultivator, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Thinking of this, Hu Lingzi immediately turned around and shouted into the mountain temple: "Where is the general patrolling the mountain?"
A ray of light flew out of the mountain temple and turned into a Nascent Soul Realm immortal official and landed in front of Hu Lingzi. He was the patrolling general of the Fu Kong Mountain Temple.
The general patrolling the mountain bowed his hands and said, "Tiger."
Hu Lingzi raised his hand and pointed at the demon cultivator not far away, and then said to the general patrolling the mountain: "Go and see, what's going on?"
"Yes." The patrolling general sang, and then turned into a spiritual light again and flew towards the demon cultivator in the distance.
About thirty breaths later, the patrolling general turned into a spiritual light and flew back, and this time he brought the demon cultivator with him when he came back.
"Tiger, things seem a bit complicated, let her tell you herself." The patrolling general said to Hu Lingzi.
Hu Lingzi nodded, then glanced at the demon cultivator who was being supported by the patrolling general: "You look familiar, have we met before?"
Hearing this, the demon cultivator in the Void Refining Realm in front of him burst into tears for a moment, "Tiger, my brother and I came to Bu Kong Mountain to ask for medicine three years ago."
"Oh!" Hu Lingzi suddenly said after hearing this: "Your name is 'Yu Chan', and your brother's name is 'Yu Chan', right? Are you cicada demons?"
After saying that, Hu Lingzi said with a face full of surprise: "But you were fine last time we met, how did you become like this?"
Yu Chan nodded repeatedly, then threw away the stick in his hand, and his remaining left leg instantly knelt on the ground. Then Yu Chan lay prone on the ground and said to Hu Lingzi: "Please give me the elixir from the mountain king. Save my brother Yuchan.”
When Hu Lingzi heard this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, follow me back to the mountain temple first and explain everything clearly."
Hu Lingzi then asked the mountain patrol general to help Yuchan into the main hall of the mountain temple, and then asked Yuchan to explain everything.
Things are not complicated at all. After the Yuchan siblings asked for medicine from Hu Lingzi, Hu Lingzi allowed them to go into Bukong Mountain to pick three elixirs that were less than 200 years old every year.
There were no accidents in the previous two years, but just this year, when the two siblings went into the mountains to collect elixirs ten days ago, an accident occurred.
"The Master of the Nine Cave said that he also had a share of the elixir from the Fu Kong Mountain. If he wanted to pick the elixir from the Fu Kong Mountain, he had to get his permission. Then he arrested my sister and brother."
"The master of the Nine Cave caught us in the cave and said he wanted to punish us, so he asked his men to eat my brother's arms and legs..."
Yuchan was already crying when she said this, but she still bit her lower lip with her teeth, holding back her grief and said: "He also raped me...in front of my brother..."
Hearing this, anger arose in Hu Lingzi's eyes, but he suppressed his anger, then looked at Yuchan's empty right leg and said, "What about your right leg?"
Yu Chan said in a trembling voice: "The master of the Nine Cave raped me for three days and then ate my right leg. Then the little demon in the cave threw my sister and brother down Mount Bukong."
"Tiger, please be merciful. My brother is too seriously injured and can't survive much longer. My magic power is weak and I can't save him. Please Tiger, please save my brother. Yuchan is willing to do anything to repay Tiger."
After saying that, Yu Chan lay on the ground and kept kowtowing to Hu Lingzi.
Hu Lingzi took a deep breath. He knew the Nine Cave Master. He lived in the Wuchao Cave in Fu Kong Mountain. He was a demon cultivator from the true fairyland.
Hu Lingzi helped Yuchan up first. At this moment, he was furious, but he still said to Yuchan softly: "Don't be anxious. Tell me where your brother is?"
Yuchan said: "It's in the collapsed cave at the foot of the mountain. That's also our cave."
Just by hearing the name, Collapsed Stone Cave, you will know that it is not a cave, but a cave that was formed during a collapse. Yuchan and her brother lived in this cave.
This is actually the case in the entire Xiniu Hezhou. Those little monsters have no chance to occupy those cave heaven paradises that have a little bit of spiritual energy.
"General Patrolling the Mountain, go to the cave immediately and bring Yuchan's younger brother to the mountain temple." Hu Lingzi said to the General Patrolling the Mountain.
The general who patrolled the mountain suddenly stood up and sang loudly: "Yes." It can be seen that after hearing what happened to Yuchan sister and brother, he was also filled with anger.
After the general who patrolled the mountain left, Hu Lingzi said to Yuchan: "Don't worry, I don't have any elixir here, but I can go to Xitian Mansion and see if I can get a elixir that can save your brother." .After the patrol general picks up your brother, I will use magic to stabilize his injuries."
Listening to Hu Lingzi's calm and steady arrangements, Yuchan's inner anxiety eased a lot, and she immediately bit her lip with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you Tiger for showing mercy."
