In ancient Yuanzhou, at the main altar of Xuanjiao, the sky was filled with misty clouds and bright light.
In the Piaomiao Hall, True Lord Xuanzhou sat high on Qingyun, and the Holy Lords of the five Immortal Palaces of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth sat cross-legged on the altar. Their eyes fell on the five Zhao Rongchangs who were kneeling in the center of the hall.
At this moment, Zhao Rongchang and the five others were standing respectfully in the hall with flattering smiles on their faces, waiting for True Lord Xuanzhou to speak.
After an unknown amount of time, True Lord Xuanzhou finally opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Rongchang and others below and said, "You want to join my Xuanjiao?"
After hearing the words of True Monarch Xuanzhou, Zhao Rongchang and the other five people immediately bowed and worshiped: "We have admired the Holy Religion for a long time and have long wanted to convert. Today we finally got what we wanted. I hope the Deputy Cult Master will be kind to you."
At this point, Zhao Rongchang changed his subject and said: "To show our sincere intention to convert to the Holy Religion, we have also prepared heavy gifts and tribute to support the great cause of the Holy Religion."
True Lord Xuanzhou smiled lightly and said, "Oh? You have prepared some heavy gifts? What kind of gifts are they?"
Zhao Rongchang and others immediately took out more than fifty Sumeru Space Magical Treasures and presented them one by one. Soon a fairy light fell, and the more than fifty Sumeru Space Magical Treasures were immediately rolled up by the fairy light and flew to the Xuanzhou Realm. In front of you.
"Deputy leader, these Sumeru magic weapons contain a total of 34,000 calamity jades, as well as countless elixirs, elixirs, and precious materials. They are enough to support millions of heavenly soldiers for ten years." Zhao Rongchang said.
That's right, when these five people defected, they wiped out all the supplies of the Nantianmen Dang Demon School and took them all away to Xuanjiao.
The five holy masters of the Five Elements Immortal Palace couldn't help but be startled when they heard Zhao Rongchang's words, and then there was a hint of surprise on their faces, but more of it was disgust.
After seeing the tributes in the Sumeru magic treasures, True Monarch Xuanzhou asked Zhao Rongchang and the other five, "Did you defect from the Heavenly Court?"
"Reporting to the deputy leader, we are not defecting, but abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side." Zhao Rongchang said.
True Lord Xuanzhou was noncommittal. He first put away all the Sumeru magic weapons. Seeing this scene, the five people of Zhao Rongchang were overjoyed. Putting away these gifts, didn't it mean that Xuanjiao accepted them?
But soon True Lord Xuanzhou said: "As immortal officials of the Heavenly Court, you are not only full of greed and enriching your own pockets, but when the incident happened, you also took your money and treasures with you and betrayed your kindness. You still want to join my Xuanjiao?"
"This" Zhao Rongchang and the other five were stunned upon hearing True Lord Xuanzhou's words.
Immediately afterwards, True Lord Xuanzhou said again: "What our Xuanjiao wants are outstanding talents who are devoted to the teachings and wholeheartedly uphold the Tao. Those of you who have no virtue, no benevolence, no beginning and no end, no Tao and no cultivation are worthy of joining me." Xuanjiao?"
The expressions of Zhao Rongchang and the other five people changed drastically, and they hurriedly shouted: "Deputy Leader"
But Zhenjun Xuanzhou snorted coldly, and in an instant a majestic force descended from the sky, instantly suppressing the five Zhao Rongchangs.
As Zhao Rongchang and the five others were suppressed, their eyes were full of unwillingness and fear, but now they could not even struggle. They could only plead and pray to True Lord Xuanzhou with changing eyes.
But True Lord Xuanzhou waved his sleeves and said: "Seal and bind these five Daoists, and then send an envoy to escort them to the heaven for disposal."
After hearing the words of True Lord Xuanzhou, the eyes of Zhao Rongchang and the other five people began to change rapidly, but no one said a word for them at all.
Soon the five people were tied up by the Xuanjiao monks who sealed the Taoism, and were escorted to heaven by a Golden Palace Golden Immortal monk.
At the same time, in the Wuying Hall of Taixuandu Province, Fang Jian was angry at four of the thirty-six Tiangang generals: Tiankuixing Gao Yan, Tiangang star Huang Zhen, Tianji star Lu Chang, and Tianxian star Ji Bing.
"My edict made it very clear. Without the edict from Taixuan Capital Province, no one can leave the Heavenly Court without permission!" Fang Jian slapped the table and shouted loudly.
The surrounding immortal officials of Wuying Hall were silent, and the four Tiangang generals were also full of grievances and dissatisfaction. Hearing Fang Jian's shout, Tian Kuixing Gao Yan said: "But the problem is that they have an edict!"
Fang Jian's eyes fell on Gao Yan and asked: "What edict?! I'm talking about the edict from Taixuan Capital Province!"
"It's the edict from Taixuandu Province." Gao Yan said, "What they showed us at that time was the edict from Taixuandu Province."
'bang'
Fang Jian slammed the table and said angrily: "Fart, don't I know if Taixuan Province has any edict? In the past ten years, Taixuan Province has not issued any edicts to the four major Tianmen Demon Schools."
"I didn't fart!" Gao Yan frowned and said, "Master Hongqing, I am also a supreme immortal official in heaven. Please give me enough respect."
"Respect? You have violated the law of heaven!" Fang Jian said: "You disobeyed the edict of Taixuan City and secretly let the criminals in heaven go free. Do you know that you are also guilty?"
At this time, Huang Zhen of Tiangang Star on the side said: "Master Hongqing, we know that you will not believe anything we say, but Zhao Rongchang and the others did produce an edict from Taixuan Capital Province at that time. You can check it."
"How to check?" Fang Jian looked at Huang Zhen and asked.
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, Qu Daoping, who was silent on the side, immediately stepped forward and said: "All the edicts issued by Taixuan Province have backup files, but they need to be checked at Langhuan Pavilion."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately said to Gao Yan and the other four: "Whether you are guilty or not is on this edict. Do you remember the font number of the edict that Zhao Rongchang produced?"
All official edicts issued by Heavenly Court will have font sizes, and these font sizes are arranged using the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches, so that you can directly search for font sizes when looking for backups.
"Remember." Gao Yan said, "It's the font name 'Yichen Jiazi Bingchou Guiyin Renmao Wushen'."
Fang Jian turned around and said to Master Hua from Taixuan Dushang Gougong Chu: "Go to Langhuan Pavilion to check it yourself."
Upon hearing this, Master Chu Hua immediately raised his hands and sang, and then went to Langhuan Pavilion.
After about a stick of incense, Master Chu Hua returned from Langhuan Pavilion and indeed brought an edict, "Reporting to the Chief Superintendent, there is indeed an edict with this name, and the edict does indeed order Zhao Rongchang and others to go down to the realm. The decree of surveying the land.”
Fang Jian took a look at the edict with a face full of surprise. It was indeed exactly the same, and it was also stamped with the seal of the chief envoy of Taixuan Province.
"When was this edict issued?" Fang Jian asked Master Chuhua.
Chu Hua Zhenren replied: "It was more than two hundred years ago. At that time, the Heavenly Court wanted to destroy the Zhenyang Dao Palace in Dongsheng Shenzhou. The great envoy issued an edict to order Nantianmen Dangmo Xiaowei and others to go down to the boundary to survey the land in preparation for dispatching troops. Conquer Zhenyang Dao Palace."
Speaking of this, Master Chu Hua also added: "The person who was the chief envoy at that time was the Nine Heavens Xuannv Empress."
Fang Jian paused for a moment, then glanced at the edict in his hand, and then said: "Afterwards, Zhao Rongchang and others hid the edict secretly and never returned it to Taixuan Capital Province?"
"That should be it." Master Chu Hua said: "At that time, the officials of Taixuandu Province did not go to collect the edict, so it was kept hidden by Zhao Rongchang."
The edict issued by the Great Master, whether completed or not, must be returned to Taixuan Capital Province on time for invalidation or archiving.
But Jiutian Xuannv was naturally unable to take care of such matters personally, so all edicts were handed over by the immortal officials of Taixuan Province.
But this edict slipped through the net because Zhao Rongchang deliberately kept it.
Fang Jian slapped the edict on the jade case, then looked at the four Tiangang generals and said: "The matter has been found out. The four generals are not responsible. Please return to Nantianmen to guard."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, Gao Yan and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately bowed and sang: "Yes, Master Hongqing."
As Gao Yan and the other four left, someone else outside the hall reported: "To the Chief Director, Master Lu Ban of Tiangongyuan has arrived."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately said: "Please come quickly."
Later, Lu Ban from Tiangongyuan entered the Wuying Hall. When he saw Fang Jian, he bowed his hands and said, "Master Hongqing, the results have been achieved."
"Oh?" Fang Jian looked happy and asked quickly: "What's the origin?"
What Fang Jian asked about were those 'self-destructing' heavenly soldiers. After Fang Jian suppressed them, he discovered that they had no life at all. They were completely puppets and not real heavenly soldiers.
So Fang Jian handed them all over to the Tiangong Institute and asked them to study the origins of these puppet heavenly soldiers.
As Fang Jian asked, Master Lu Ban immediately said: "Those are not ordinary puppets, but 'Yellow Turban Warriors'."
"Yellow Turban Warrior?" Fang Jian was startled when he heard this and said, "Isn't that the Golden Immortal Puppet made by the Taoist Sect?"
"Exactly." Master Lu Ban said: "But they are very different from other yellow scarf warriors. These puppets are born to self-destruct. Normally, they are the same as ordinary heavenly soldiers. The magic energy on their bodies is basically indistinguishable, but after being sacrificed, All the power will burst out in an instant, and it seems to be specially customized."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately asked: "Where can I refine this kind of puppet?"
Master Lu Ban thought for a moment and then said: "Tianhefang, Laojun Pavilion."
Soon, thousands of heavenly soldiers, led by the seventy-two Disha generals, arrived at Laojun Pavilion in Tianhefang, and read out Fang Jian's edict in public: Order all Taiyilou weapon refining immortal masters in Laojun Pavilion to go to Taixuan Capital Province Be questioned.
After the edict was read out, seventy of the seventy-two Disha generals stayed in Laojun Pavilion, and only two returned to the heaven with a hundred heavenly soldiers and several Taiyilou immortal masters.
When the Immortal Master of Taiyi Tower of Laojun Pavilion headed by Xie Lingyun came to Wuying Hall, Fang Jian immediately ordered people to move out the self-destructing puppets of the heavenly soldiers.
"Fellow immortal masters, do you recognize this object?" Fang Jian asked, pointing to the puppets of the heavenly soldiers.
A group of immortal masters came forward to take a closer look, and then Xie Lingyun said: "Yes, these heavenly weapons and puppets were refined by our Laojun Pavilion, but why are they in the heaven?"
Fang Jian frowned and asked, "Why can't they be in heaven?"
Xie Lingyun smiled and said: "There are heavenly soldiers in heaven. Those who come to our Laojun Pavilion to refine such heavenly weapon puppets are usually monks from outside the heaven. They want some puppets to guard the cave or protect the younger generation. Because of the majesty of the heavenly soldiers, they are so big. Some of the puppets will be required to be made to look like heavenly soldiers and generals."
"Master Hongqing, does this not violate the laws of nature?" asked another immortal master 'Yang Zhu'.
This is indeed not against the rules of heaven, because these heavenly soldier puppets are only made to imitate the appearance of the heavenly soldiers, and are not clearly equipped with the logo of the heavenly soldiers. At most, they can be regarded as high-level heavenly soldier 'figures'.
Moreover, there are countless immortals who have made puppets after imitating the heavenly soldiers and generals. This is mainly because of the majesty of the heavenly soldiers. Whether traveling or fighting, it is also more honorable to be accompanied by a team of puppets that look like the heavenly soldiers, right?
Fang Jian asked Xie Lingyun and Yang Zhu: "How many of these puppets have been refined in Laojun Pavilion?"
"That's a lot." Xie Lingyun said, "It's tens of thousands at least."
"Are they all Jinxian's puppets?" Fang Jian asked.
"Yes." Xie Lingyun nodded and said, "This puppet only belongs to the Golden Immortal, and has no other virtues."
Fang Jian asked again: "Can they all be recalled and destroyed?"
"It's very difficult." Xie Lingyun shook his head and said, "It's very difficult."
Fang Jian said calmly: "Is it difficult to pacify Xiniu Hezhou without me?"
"." When Xie Lingyun and others heard this, they were all speechless.
After a while, Xie Lingyun bowed his hand and said, "Don't worry, Master Hongqing. I will do my best to recall these puppets and destroy them after I return."
Fang Jian nodded and said: "The losses caused by recalling and destroying the puppets will be compensated by Heavenly Court to Laojun Pavilion. But after my words, from now on, I will never describe the refinement of puppets as Heavenly Soldiers or Heavenly Generals. Otherwise, my Fang Jian's temper will be ruined by fellow Taoists." He must have some understanding.”
Xie Lingyun and others looked at each other, and then said with a smile: "Master Hongqing, why do you do this? Now we are all our own people, and the affairs of Heaven are our business. Please rest assured, Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian nodded, then pointed at the puppets of the Heavenly Weapons around him and said, "I have no doubts about you fellow Taoists, so please trouble your fellow Taoists to take these puppets back and destroy them."
Xie Lingyun and others bowed to Fang Jian one after another, then accepted the puppets of the heavenly soldiers and left.
"Director, Gao Yan, the guard at Nantianmen, has something important to report."
Shortly after Xie Lingyun and others left, when Fang Jianzheng was thinking anxiously about how to capture Zhao Rongchang and others, a report suddenly came from outside the palace.
"Xuan." Fang Jian said.
Soon, Tian Kuixing Gao Yan quickly walked into Wuying Hall and paid homage to Fang Jian: "Master Hongqing, a group of monks came from outside Nantianmen. They claimed to be the envoys of Xuanjiao and specially escorted the five traitors from Heaven, Zhao Rongchang, to Heaven and handed them over. .”
"What?" Fang Jian couldn't believe his ears when he heard this, "You say it again?"
So Tian Kuixing Gao Yan repeated it again, and Fang Jian finally realized, "What kind of tricks is Xuanjiao doing?"
However, after pondering for a moment, Fang Jian was still ready to go and see for himself. No matter what tricks the Xuanjiao did, now that Zhao Rongchang and the five had arrived outside the Nantianmen, they would be captured and punished no matter what!
Soon, Fang Jian personally led a group of immortal officials from Wuying Hall and 10,000 heavenly soldiers out of Chongtian outside the Nantian Gate.
Then Fang Jian saw the Xuanjiao envoy standing in the clouds, Jinxian Daoxing, and the five Zhao Rongchang people who were bound and detained by the sealed Daoxing.
"Mou Yi, the deacon of the Golden Palace of the Xuanjiao, specially obeys the decree of the deputy leader of the holy religion and escorts the five rebels from heaven, Zhao Rongchang, Cao Shu, Kou Fu, Yuan Jitang, and Liu Suiqing, to heaven and hand them over to heaven for disposal."
