Shenxiao Jade Mansion, Shenxiao Immortal Palace, and the Five Gods.
Seeing Fang Jian enter the palace, Yan Hui, the chief envoy of Taixuan Province, and Wude Xingjun, the chief envoy of Tianshu Province, bid farewell to Emperor Qinghua of the East and left the Five Temples.
Fang Jian walked straight to the center of the hall without squinting, and paid homage to Emperor Dongji Qinghua: "Your Majesty Fang Jian, I would like to pay my respects to Emperor Dongji Qinghua, the Chief Photographer of Shenxiao Jade Mansion."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji smiled faintly and asked: "Fang Jian, I heard that Lord Taiyin Star wants the jade pillow back?"
When Fang Jian heard this, he said helplessly: "Back to the emperor, yes."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji said: "You don't have to blame her, she has such a temperament, she is straightforward and has a clear personality."
Fang Jian said: "I don't mean to blame Taiyin Xingjun, but I haven't sold the jade pillow at a good price, so I feel a little regretful."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji laughed and said, "Do you, True Lord Hongqing, still lack the Jade Jade?"
"Que." Fang Jian said: "There is still an apprentice who is not ready for success. I must work hard to earn calamity jade to train her."
"Yes." Dongji Qinghua Emperor nodded, and then said: "Fang Jian, Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Tianzun asked Pindao to tell you that he supports you."
Fang Jian was immediately moved when he heard the words, and immediately bowed in the direction of Shen Lei Yu Mansion and said, "I pay my respects to Emperor Lei Zu."
Emperor Qinghua of Dongji waved the dust in his hand and said, "Are you here for Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian?"
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Yes, I would like to commend these two for their righteous conduct and consider them as role models for cultivators in the world."
"It should indeed be commended." Emperor Qinghua of Dongji nodded, and then said: "Well, there are several vacancies for the land god priesthood in Nanzhan Continent. Ask them both if they are willing to be earth gods. If so, , according to the above report, the province of Taixuan will reshape their divine bodies and confer official positions for them. If they are not willing, we will make other arrangements."
Fang Jian bowed and said, "Yes, I will retire."
Then Fang Jian left the Shenxiao Immortal Palace, and everyone avoided him along the way, and Fang Jian was happy to be quiet.
But when he walked out of Shenxiao Immortal Palace and was about to leave from the gate of Taixuandu Provincial Palace, suddenly a figure jumped out in front of him with a gust of fragrant wind.
"I opened this road and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road."
A clear and ethereal voice sounded in front of Fang Jian. Fang Jian looked at it and immediately smiled: "Why is it you?"
The girl in front of her, wearing the robe of a fifth-grade immortal official, with a petite and cute figure and a fair face, is Fang Jian's fellow villager 'Yi Huan'.
Yihuan looked at Fang Jian with a smile and said, "Are you in trouble?"
Fang Jian smiled when he heard this and said, "It seems so. How do you know?"
Yihuan looked around, then lowered his head and whispered, "They are all talking about you, saying that you... uh... say that you are a mad dog with no humanity and no emotions."
When Fang Jian heard this, he was not angry, but smiled and said to Yihuan: "Then do you think I am?"
Yihuan wrung his hands together, twisted his body, and said with some embarrassment: "I think you are handsome, and you said that we are from the same hometown and are friends. I don't think so."
Having said this, Yihuan raised his head and looked at Fang Jian and said: "I am just a fifth-grade immortal official, I can't say anything. I heard that you came to Shenxiao Jade Mansion, so I waited for you here specially just to tell you. I support you."
When Fang Jian heard this, his heart moved slightly, then he looked at Yihuan and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist Yihuan."
Yihuan's eyes suddenly widened, she looked at Fang Jian and asked, "What did you call me?"
"We are fellow Taoists, what's wrong? Don't you like this title?" Fang Jian asked with a smile.
Yihuan's eyes were slightly red, and she nodded sharply and said, "I like it, I like it very much."
"Yi Huan!"
At this moment, a sharp shout suddenly sounded from the side. Yihuan was startled and looked aside quickly.
I saw a man wearing the robe of a second-grade immortal official looking at Yihuan with a livid face, "Why don't you do so many things in the palace? Why are you lazy here?! Why don't you go back!"
Yihuan's face turned pale, and she quickly stuck out her tongue and said to Fang Jian: "This is our Grand Judge of Taixuan City, Lord Hongqing. You go first, I'll go back first."
Fang Jian stretched out his hand to stop Yihuan and said, "Do you have a lot of things to do today?"
Yihuan stopped, then shook his head and said, "No, everything is done. He should be seeing me with you."
Fang Jian nodded when he heard this, and then said: "Don't move."
After saying that, Fang Jian immediately shouted to the second-grade Taixuan capital magistrate: "Come here!"
When the judge heard Fang Jian shouting, his expression changed instantly. He shuddered subconsciously, then stepped forward, and then rushed to Fang Jian as fast as he could in his life and worshiped: "Xiaguan Tai" You Shaoyuan, the Grand Judge of Xuandu Province, pays homage to True Lord Hongqing."
"What were you calling just now?" Fang Jian asked.
You Shaoyuan was startled, then lowered his head and hesitated, unable to say a word.
Fang Jian said to You Shaoyuan, "Yi Huan is my friend. Can't she take advantage of her free time to say a few words to me?"
"Of course, of course." You Shaoyuan said quickly: "It's just that Taixuan Province has a lot of affairs."
"There are so many things in heaven, can they be done in one day? Let me ask you, has Yi Huan made any mistakes in the long time she has been an immortal official? Has she delayed anything?" Fang Jian asked.
You Shaoyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "This time, Zhenjun Hongqing, never."
Fang Jian said: "In that case, what are you calling? As a second-grade immortal official in Heaven, don't you even have this etiquette and quality? Or is it because you don't like her being with me?"
"No, no." You Shaoyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "I would never dare to think so."
"Hmph." Fang Jian snorted coldly and said, "I think you all need to be dealt with. After two days when I have some free time, I will come to Taixuan Capital Province to arrest people. Let me see how many of you can stand up to the investigation. "
You Shaoyuan suddenly turned pale and was sweating profusely. He just kept bowing and admitting his mistake.
Fang Jian ignored him and said to Yihuan: "Remember, you are my friend. If anyone takes advantage of his position to bully you in the future, or if you find anything that violates the law of heaven, you will come to me."
Yihuan saw a second-grade immortal official who was usually aloof and superior, but was now being trained like a puppy by Fang Jian. While it was funny, he felt countless admiration for Fang Jian.
"Yeah." Yihuan looked at Fang Jian with a pair of starry eyes, and then nodded heavily.
Then Fang Jian turned around and left Taixuan Capital Province. After Fang Jian left, the immortal officials of Taixuan Capital Province who had not dared to come forward suddenly rushed forward and criticized You Shaoyuan. .
"If you want to die, find a place where no one is around and don't harm us, okay?"
"Why are you provoking him at this time?"
"I'm speechless fellow Taoists."
"."
After everyone criticized You Shaoyuan, they all turned to look at Yihuan with smiling faces.
"This must be Taoist friend Yihuan, the edict from the Left Hall of Taixuan. He is really young and promising."
"Yi Huan, if you have any dissatisfaction with your official duties from now on, just come to us and report it."
"Yes, yes, report it to us and we will handle it, so don't bother Mr. Hongqing."
"You have such a good relationship with Zhenjun Hongqing. Why don't you tell him that our immortal officials in Taixuandu Province all enforce the law impartially and are honest and honest. There is nothing to investigate."
"Yeah yeah."
Yihuan stared blankly at the 'big men' surrounding him, and for the first time in his life, he felt the feeling of 'stars overlapping the moon'.
After Fang Jian returned to Haotian Palace, he asked Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian for their opinions. They were very surprised. They didn't expect that this time it was a blessing in disguise that they could become immortal officials.
Although you are the lowest earth god, you are still an immortal official. More importantly, after you become an immortal official, the heaven will extend your life span every hundred years based on your tenure.
Although your lifespan is no longer directly frozen as in the past, as long as you become an immortal official, you can increase your lifespan by twice the original lifespan. This is something that many immortals dream of.
And more importantly, by becoming an Immortal Official, Heaven will directly help you reshape your divine body, the 'Aura True Body', which is something that can only be obtained by picking the True Immortal Dao Fruit.
The two of them had a strong sense of justice, and now that they had the opportunity to serve all sentient beings, they naturally would not refuse, so they agreed.
Next, Fang Jian went to Emperor Qinghua of Dongji, and soon people from Taixuan Province came to pick up Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian.
Soon, the two people's job awards and appointments were announced. Feng Dingnan was appointed as the land god of Xiaoerping in Nanzhanbuzhou, and Yun Dingtian was appointed as the land god of Catalpa Township in Nanzhanbuzhou.
When the two came to Haotian Palace to pay homage to Fang Jian, they had already reshaped their bodies and were wearing the fitting and majestic robes of a ninth-grade immortal official.
"The two fellow Taoists look much more majestic in their attire this time." Fang Jian said with a smile.
The two of them said: "The two of us are about to go down to the next world to take up our posts, so we came here to pay our respects to Lord Cihongqing."
Fang Jian stepped forward, looked at the two of them and said, "I hope you will always maintain your kindness and never follow in the footsteps of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain."
When the two heard the words, they immediately said solemnly: "I will follow the teachings of Lord Hongqing, and we will dedicate ourselves to the benefit of all living beings."
"Okay." Fang Jian bowed his head and said, "Then I wish you two fellow Taoists a safe journey."
"Thank you, Lord Hongqing. I'll take my leave."
As Feng Dingnan and Yun Dingtian went to take office, the edict of the Heavenly Court regarding the Southern Ghost Emperor and the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain was announced to all parties. The case of the Ghost King of Partridge Mountain was completely closed, although the Ghost Emperor of the South was punished in the entire world of Jambu. It caused an uproar.
But for Fang Jian, who was in the Haotian Palace and isolated by the super-grade immortal officials, he became relaxed again.
But just when Fang Jian was about to go down to Buzhou Mountain to find Hei Haier, someone came from the underworld to see him.
The person who came from the underworld was Zong Ling Qi Fei Tian Palace's guardian god, one of Luo Feng's six heavenly palace guardians, 'Jichang Master'. After Master Ji Chang entered the Haotian Hall, he immediately bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Qi Zhen Hong Qing Zhen." Sir, the Southern Ghost Emperor wants to see you."
"Oh?" Fang Jian stood up suddenly, looked at Master Ji Chang below and asked, "The Southern Ghost Emperor wants to see me?"
"Yes." Master Ji Chang nodded and said.
Fang Jian walked down the steps of the palace and said, "Where is it?"
Master Ji Chang returned: "In front of the stage of reincarnation in the underworld."
The underworld, the platform of six paths of reincarnation.
On the broad reincarnation stage, the five palace-guarding gods of the ten palaces, Yan Jun and Luo Feng, stood respectfully aside.
Fang Jian, on the other hand, sat opposite Du Ziren, who was wearing a Taoist robe and looked pure.
Du Ziren made a cup of tea and handed it to Fang Jian. Fang Jian raised his hand to take it, and then heard Du Ziren smile and say: "Are you isolated by the gods in heaven?"
Fang Jian said in surprise: "How do fellow Taoists know?"
Du Ziren smiled lightly and said: "After all, I have been the Southern Ghost Emperor for billions of years. This is something I can imagine. In fact, you don't have to worry about it. You punished me this time and put a lot of pressure on them."
"Oh?" Fang Jian looked at Du Ziren intently and asked, "Why is this?"
Du Ziren smiled and said: "In fact, no matter how big the immortal officials are, they all have power in their hands, and sometimes they will use this power to do some private things. Take me for example. This time you punish me, it is only about the Ghost King of Part Mountain. In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that the number of years I have given others to live longer is no less than 100 million years."
Fang Jian said: "There is no need to investigate or punish this matter, because the fact that you extend the life of others has not affected the order of heaven, nor has it caused any disasters or consequences."
"Yes." Du Ziren nodded and said: "So why are they isolating you? It's because they are not sure whether the things they do touch the red line of your execution of heavenly law, so they keep a distance from you. If you can't make this clear If they don't, they will live like a sword hanging over their head and shackles on their feet every day, how can they feel comfortable?"
After Du Ziren finished speaking, he sighed and said, "I did deserve it this time, but I don't regret it. At least I gave back a huge favor. Maybe I can make it perfect again in the future."
Having said this, Du Ziren smiled slightly, looked at Fang Jian and said, "Zhenjun Hongqing, are you willing to listen to a few words from me, a guilty person?"
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said, "I am willing to listen attentively."
Du Ziren nodded and said: "The so-called 'law' means that things will happen inevitably and steadily in the world, and they will not change according to anyone's will. People have money to spend, and gods have the authority to use it. This is the inevitable law, the only difference is Whether the money is spent on the right path or the evil path, whether the power is used for good or evil. Monks and gods are inherently long-lived, so if I extend the life of monks and gods, this is in line with the natural laws of heaven. If I give a life to a person who is about to live a long life I want a monk or a god to increase his lifespan, but if he does something bad after that, then I must also bear the causal responsibility. This is also the rule."
"Everything has its own laws. I violated the laws of heaven and was punished by you, the god of justice. This is also the law."
"And you punished me mercilessly, so that other gods became afraid of your authority and stayed away from you. This is also the rule."
"They feel that their authority and interests are threatened, as if they hold authority and power, but it seems that it does not belong to them and can be taken away by you at any time."
"The so-called laws are things that will inevitably happen regardless of anyone's will."
After Du Ziren finished speaking, the magic power in Fang Jian's body surged and boiled instantly, and the regular Taoist magic traces on the Big Sun Buddha Pestle began to quickly fall off from the Big Sun Buddha Pestle, and instead poured into Fang Jian's soul.
The golden Que Miluo Taoist robe on Fang Jian's body began to move automatically without any wind, and a huge power began to quickly overflow from Fang Jian's body, quickly covering the entire underworld.
Countless insights began to emerge from Fang Jian's mind, and a brand new door had been opened to Fang Jian, waiting for him to take a step forward.
Seeing the changes in Fang Jian's body, Du Ziren was surprised. He then took a sip of the spiritual tea, put his hands together and said with a smile, "Okay, okay!"
Fang Jian quickly suppressed Dao Mingwu for the time being, then stood up and bowed to Du Ziren: "Fang Jian, thank you fellow Taoist for your guidance."
"I'm a sinner, you don't need to thank me. Besides, I'm just the icing on the cake. Even if I don't point you down, you will figure it out yourself in the future." Du Ziren said with a smile.
Fang Jian said seriously: "This is Fang Jian's gratitude to a once highly respected emperor for showing him the way."
"I'm going to go away." Du Ziren put down the tea cup, stood up and laughed loudly, then walked straight to the huge six paths of reincarnation, and without hesitation stepped into the six paths of reincarnation of humanity.
At the moment when Du Ziren's body disappeared into the reincarnation of human beings, the Ten Palaces of Hell, the five guardian gods, and the many Yin gods, Yin soldiers, and ghosts around them all worshiped: "Farewell to the Southern Ghost Emperor."
