In the main hall of Taishi Immortal Palace, Emperor Jun stood on Qingyun, received the talisman edict sent by Fang Jian, and listened to Fang Jian's words: "This time, Taoist friends will personally lead the gods and generals to the Eastern Cangtian Heavenly Realm. Make sure to seal off the Great World of Heaven.”
Emperor Jun bowed and said, "I sincerely obey the decree of the Great Emperor Hongqing."
"As for which righteous generals should be led by fellow Taoist to the Eastern Cangtian, it is up to fellow Taoist to go to Lingshu Jade Mansion to order the generals." Fang Jian said to Di Jun.
Emperor Jun bowed his head, respectfully accepted the order, then bowed to Fang Jian, transformed into Xuan Guang and left Taishi Immortal Capital.
Later, Fang Jian called Hei Hai'er and said, "Go to Dongzhen Mansion and bring Zhang Er and Xuan Ying up to see me."
Hei Hai'er sang and accepted the order, then turned and left. Soon after, Hei Hai'er led Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying up to Daluotian and arrived at Taishi Immortal Capital.
Fang Jian did not summon Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying in the main hall, but summoned them in the Lotus Pavilion behind the Immortal Palace.
As soon as Mei Xianzhang saw Fang Jian, he immediately knelt down outside the pavilion and kowtowed to Fang Jian: "Disciple Mei Xianzhang pays homage to my mentor."
Xuan Ying also bowed her head and said: "Xuan Ying pays homage to the Great Emperor Hongqing."
"Pingshen." Fang Jian said with a smile.
The two stood up, Fang Jian waved to them and said with a smile: "Come in and sit down."
Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying walked into the Lotus Pavilion respectfully, and then at Fang Jian's greeting, they sat down at the stone table in the Lotus Pavilion.
Xuanying was sitting upright, while Mei Xianzhang kept looking at Fang Jian. After a moment, she took the initiative and asked: "Master, you suddenly asked us to come to heaven. Is there something wrong?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Can't we ask you to go to heaven if nothing happens? Master misses his apprentice, right?"
Mei Xianzhang shook his head and said with disbelief: "Master, you don't look like someone who wants to be an apprentice for nothing."
"Hahaha." Fang Jianlang laughed, then stretched out his hand and patted Mei Xianzhang on the head, and then realized that his apprentice was already a tall and graceful immortal.
Fang Jian looked at Mei Xianzhang and said, "It is the apprentice who knows the master best. Yes, I am calling you to heaven this time because I have something for you two to do."
When Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying heard this, they immediately looked at each other, stood up and cupped their hands and said, "Please give me your instructions, Master (Hongqing Emperor)."
"Sit down, sit down." Fang Jian said quickly: "You two should stop being so polite to me."
Fang Jian looked at the two people who were seated again and said, "I promised you back then that I would consider letting you become immortal officials after you become immortals. Now there is an opportunity in front of you. Are you willing to do it?"
Mei Xianzhang nodded quickly and said: "Yes! Master, I have wanted to be an immortal official for a long time!"
Xuan Ying also said: "I am also willing, Emperor Hongqing."
Fang Jian looked at the two of them and said, "I'm very satisfied that you can say that, but just because you have a close relationship with me, it's impossible for me to let you be the kind of high-ranking officials with power and leisure. I must make you Put it in the most dangerous place."
Mei Xianzhang immediately said: "Master, we are not afraid of danger."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "That's good. Do you think the official is too young?"
Mei Xianzhang asked: "How small is it?"
Fang Jian said: "The smallest official is the seventh-grade immortal official of the Yuan Dynasty."
"Seventh-grade Immortal Official?" Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying looked at each other. Now that even the Earth God is a righteous god, Yuan is a seventh-grade Immortal Official.
"Heavenly soldiers?" Mei Xianzhang asked: "Master wants us to be heavenly soldiers?"
Fang Jian had a mysterious smile on his face, then shook his head and said, "Although they are both seventh-grade immortal officials, this position is lower than that of a heavenly soldier."
"What is that?" Mei Xianzhang asked doubtfully.
Fang Jian looked at Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying, and then said slowly: "Ghosts, ghosts who arrest souls in the underworld."
Hearing this, Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying were shocked. They were actually working as ghost errands. This was indeed a very small official.
Because the underworld has always been independent, Mei Xianzhang didn't even think of going there.
Fang Jian looked at them and said, "If you don't want to go to the underworld to work as ghosts, I won't force you. You can stay in Taisu Palace for a few days, and I will teach you some Taoism, and then return to the lower world." Just go to Dongzhen Mansion."
One thing I haven't mentioned yet is that since Fang Jian was promoted to Daluo Jinxian, the Taoist practices practiced by Mei Xianzhang, Zheyu and others have also been promoted accordingly.
Except for the Taoist methods in the 'Taisu Xuanyuan Daozhang', all other Taoist methods and magical powers are open to Mei Xianzhang and Zheyu, and they can practice them at will.
But as soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying immediately stood up and expressed their willingness to do ghost jobs.
Fang Jian asked again and again, and both of them were very firm, which made Fang Jian very pleased.
"Very good, I asked you to do ghost work for a reason. You need to help investigate something." Fang Jian said to the two of them.
Mei Xianzhang asked curiously: "Master, what did you want us to investigate?"
Fang Jian raised his hand and shot out two golden lights that flew into the eyebrows of Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying, and then things about the world of heaven appeared in their minds.
Fang Jian looked at them and said, "That's it. After you enter the underworld to serve, I will arrange the direction of your duties for you. You only need to investigate as your own ghost." "
Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying nodded solemnly, and then Mei Xianzhang asked: "Master, why don't you let the righteous gods of the underworld investigate this matter, but let us investigate it?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Who says there is no such thing? It's just that they are both open leads, investigating some things on the surface. You two are hidden leads, two hidden stars."
Mei Xianzhang said: "So the two of us are your chess pieces, master."
Fang Jian said with a smile: "You have to be lucky that you can still be a chess piece. Some people don't even have to be chess pieces, they can only be dust that is brushed off the chessboard."
Mei Xianzhang looked solemn, and then he and Xuan Ying stood up again and worshiped: "Please rest assured, Master (Emperor Hongqing), we two promise to complete the mission."
Fang Jian nodded and said to Mei Xianzhang: "When you enter the world of Cangtian, you can go to Hongqing Temple to register first, so that you can have someone to take care of you."
Mei Xianzhang bowed and said: "Yes, Master." After standing up, Mei Xianzhang said again: "Master, shall we report to the underworld now? I can't wait."
Fang Jian laughed and said, "You're in such a hurry, why don't you stay with Master for a while?"
Mei Xianzhang said: "Isn't there a black boy? Just have him accompany you."
Fang Jian: "Okay, but remember, this matter is related to the Chaos Evil God and is very dangerous. You must proceed with caution."
Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying: "Yes."
In the end, Fang Jian had no choice but to give Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying Fu Zhao, asking them to report to Shenxiao Yufu first, and then Shenxiao Yufu would arrange for them to take up positions in the underworld.
As for the other side, Di Jun had already selected more than 300 righteous generals with the help of Nezha, and then took the lead to set off to the eastern sky.
It's just that it's a bit troublesome for Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying to go to the underworld to do ghost work, because someone stopped them, or to be precise, stopped Mei Xianzhang from doing ghost work.
The person who stopped Mei Xianzhang was none other than the Nine Heavens Xuannv in Xuanyang Palace.
Under the intervention of Jiutian Xuannv, Erlang Shen was unable to issue an edict to let Mei Xianzhang and two people go to work in the underworld, so he could only send this trouble back to Fang Jian.
After Fang Jian understood the cause and effect, he immediately came to Xuanyang Palace to meet Jiutian Xuannv.
"Great Emperor Juntian, Mei Xianzhang is my disciple. How I arrange for him is my own business." Fang Jian said to Jiutian Xuannv who was sitting cross-legged on Baoxia Qingyun.
Jiutian Xuannv said: "The situation in Cangtian World is complicated and extremely dangerous. You are sending her there now to let her die. She is your disciple, but she is also my niece. If you don't feel sorry for me, I feel sorry for her."
Fang Jian was quite shocked when he heard this: "When did she become your niece, Juntian Emperor?"
Jiutian Xuannu smiled and said: "It has been more than a hundred years, what? You still don't know?"
Fang Jian frowned slightly. He really didn't know about this, but it didn't matter. Fang Jian said, "The more dangerous the place, the more likely it is to train her."
"She is a girl, why should she go out and do those dangerous things? Can't you, the Great Emperor of Heaven, give her a stable and prosperous cultivation environment?" Jiutian Xuannv asked.
Fang Jian said calmly: "If you put it this way, the Great Emperor should not have assisted the Great Heavenly Lord in pacifying the Three Realms. Instead, you should have stayed in the cave to cultivate peacefully."
"Today is different from the past." Jiutian Xuannv said: "Today's heaven is strong enough to give them a stable and peaceful cultivation environment. All the things that harm the three realms, just let us help them solve them."
Fang Jian said: "My disciples, Fang Jian, must go through hardships. The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
After saying that, Fang Jian looked up at Jiutian Xuannv, and for the first time in his history, he used an extremely tough tone towards Jiutian Xuannv: "Don't interfere with Zhang'er's affairs, I have my own arrangements!"
Jiutian Xuannv was stunned for a moment. She stared blankly at Fang Jian with a pair of phoenix eyes, and did not react for a long time.
