Forum, Hongfan Hall.
Fang Jian followed Taoist Master Taixiao into the hall. As soon as Fang entered the hall, he felt nearly a hundred qi machines falling on him.
These qi machines have good intentions and bad intentions. Those with good intentions are calm and calm, while those with bad intentions carry power and power.
But Fang Jian was neither humble nor arrogant, and followed Taoist Taixiao into Hongfan Hall calmly and calmly.
Tao Zun Taixiao is the former 'Goddess of Jade Xiao', the wife of the new Great Heavenly Zun in the three realms of the present world. She once returned to the Innate Infinite Realm with Tao Zun Taiyuan and Xuannv Jiutian.
Arriving at the center of Hongfan Hall, Taoist Master Taixiao reported to the five Taifus: "To report to the five Taifus, the night patrol captain Fang Jian has arrived."
"Yes." Tao Zhen Taoist responded lightly, and then Taoist Tai Xiao turned around and glanced at Fang Jian, then returned to his seat and sat down.
Fang Jian was seen standing alone in the center of the hall, and nearly a hundred pairs of eyes fell on him, especially his waist.
Sure enough, Fang Jian had a purple jade pendant on his left and right waist, with the words "pregnant" and "ginger" engraved on them.
"Hmph!" Cold snorts suddenly sounded in the hall, and the loudest among them was Yao Hong, the patriarch of the Yao clan.
The next moment, Fang Jian bowed to the chief inspector in the palace and said, "Fang Jian pays homage to the five Taifus."
But the five Taiwan assistants didn't say anything, not even saying "flat body". They just let Fang Jian bow and worship on the spot.
But at this time, the chief of the Prefecture clan, Youxun, stood up and said to Fang Jian: "Captain Fang, where did the Prefecture token on your waist come from?"
When Fang Jian heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yuxun in confusion, and Yuxun said calmly: "I am the head of the Yu clan, Yuxun."
Fang Jian was suddenly stunned, and immediately replied: "It was a gift from Lord Mi."
Yu Xun nodded and said, "Fang Jian, I am the head of the Yu clan. This jade pendant was given to me by mistake by Yu Mi. I should take it back."
After saying that, Xunxun raised his hand and the purple jade pendant around Fang Jian's waist immediately turned into a clear light and flew back to Xunxun's hand.
Fang Jian smiled slightly when he saw this and said: "It turns out that it was given by Master Yumi by mistake. If Yumi hadn't understood what Taoist Master said, Fang Jian would have been kept in the dark."
As soon as Yu Xun put away the purple jade pendant, a look of discomfort suddenly appeared on his face when he heard these words, but he didn't say anything and just sat down expressionlessly.
Fang Jian took off the purple jade pendant given by Jiang E from his waist and asked around, "I wonder if the leader of the Jiang family is here?"
"That's me." Jiang Tang sat there and said.
Fang Jian looked at Jiang Tang, and immediately held the purple jade pendant in his hand and said, "I know that Taoist Master Yu has taken back the token of the Jiang family. I wonder if the Jiang family chief wants to take back the token of the Jiang family?"
"This" Jiang Tang was startled when he heard this, and the clan leaders on both sides, such as Yao Hong and Yu Xu, all winked at her. Even the five Taiwanese assistants glanced at her.
Jiang Tang smiled awkwardly and said, "This, Colonel Fang, I am not going to take it back. However, if you return it voluntarily, Captain Fang, then I will have no choice but to take it back."
Fang Jian smiled faintly. Although he didn't understand why the Jiang clan leader didn't take it back directly like Yu Xu, he must have some concerns.
However, for Jiang E's sake, Fang Jian was not prepared to embarrass the Jiang clan leader, so he said: "Since the pregnant lady has taken back the token, it is not good for me to hold Jiang's token again, so I'd better return it to Jiang." Shit."
After saying that, Fang Jian used his magic power to send the purple jade pendant to Jiang Tang, and Jiang Tang immediately reached out and took it.
Seeing this scene, the expression on the side's side darkened. In this way, it was his wife who went back on her word and became a bad person.
With the return of the two wealthy clan tokens, the five Taifus also breathed a sigh of relief, making it easier to deal with Fang Jian.
Therefore, the Taoist Taoist Master who was in charge of the Shangshu Desk immediately asked Fang Jian: "Fang Jian, do you know the crime?"
Fang Jian heard this and said, "Dare I ask Taoist Master Taogu, what is my crime?"
Taoist Master Taikoo said: "You dare to use swordsmanship in Yujing City and kill the soldiers of Qianzhao Tao Kingdom. This is a serious crime."
Fang Jian said: "What the ancient Taoist Master said is wrong. I am following the decree of the Forum, which limits me to quell the chaos in Honglutai within one day, but it does not stipulate what means to use. Since it has not been stipulated, it is any means." It is all acceptable."
As he said that, Fang Jian also took out the decree given to him by the forum, "I acted in accordance with the decree of the forum, and I did not commit any sin."
But Taichong Dao Zun, who is in charge of the central platform, said: "Although the decree does not stipulate what methods cannot be used, it does not ask you to kill people. You presumed your intentions and made your own decisions. This is the crime of overstepping the bounds."
Fang Jian said: "Returning to Taichong Taoist Master, I did not make my own decision to guess the superior's intention. After receiving the edict and before acting, I asked the superior's intention."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Taichong Dao Zun and the other four Taiwanese assistants were stunned. They looked at each other, and finally Taizhen Tao Zun said: "Nonsense, when did you ask us what we wanted? "
Fang Jian cupped his hands and smiled and said: "The five Taiwan Auxiliaries misunderstood. What I meant was not the five Taiwan Auxiliaries, but the higher level."
After hearing this, there was a burst of surprise in the hall. The only ones who were higher than the five Taifu were the five regents.
"Impossible!" Yao Hong said directly: "The five great regents live in seclusion in the dojo. Even the five Taiwanese assistants cannot meet with them without edicts. You? How dare you lie about the edicts of the five great regents? This is a capital crime."
After saying that, Yao Hong went directly to the five Taifu and said: "To report to the five Taifu, Fang Jian said that there are five major regent edicts, and he can be ordered to take out the edicts. If there is no edict, it is falsely claiming the edict, and he shall be punished with death." .”
At this time, even Taixiao Dao Zun said: "Fang Jian, you can't grab it randomly."
But Fang Jian smiled and said: "The five Taifu, I am not talking about the five regents, but the will above the five regents."
"What? Above the five regents?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Above the five regents? Is there anyone above the five regents?"
"Could he be talking about Lord Dao?"
When the three words 'Daojun' appeared in the main hall, the atmosphere in the entire Hongfan Hall suddenly became unusual.
Especially the five Taiwan Assistants, they looked at Fang Jian with half-smiling eyes, and then Taihe Dao Zun said: "Fang Jian, don't you know that we, the five Taiwan Assistants, have the authority to refute Dao Lord's decree?"
Fang Jian shook his head and said: "The five Taifu, the 'highest intention' I speak of is neither the five regents nor the Dao Lord, but"
Having said this, Fang Jian raised his finger and pointed upwards and said: "This is the innate infinite realm of heaven and earth. I ask for the orders of heaven and earth. Everything I do is done with a common heart and I am not responsible for any crime."
"world?"
"The innate infinite world of heaven and earth?"
Hearing this, everyone in Hongfan Hall was stunned at first, and then burst into laughter. Yao Hong said, "Fang Jian, I think you are crazy. How noble is Heaven and Earth? It is the supreme will of the innate infinite world. How can it be so?" Can you understand this little creature like you?"
Having said this, Yao Hong immediately said to the five Taifu: "Please order the five Taifu immediately to arrest Fang Jian and punish him. Don't let him talk nonsense here and blaspheme the heaven and earth."
The five Taiwanese assistants also thought that Fang Jian was fooling around, so Tao Zhen Taoist Master immediately ordered: "Come here, take down Fang Jian."
After Taizhen Taoist finished speaking, a powerful force instantly fell on Fang Jian. It was Taizhang Taoist from Tinglu Division.
Taixiao Taoist Master immediately stood up and said: "The five Taiwan Assistants have not yet been fully interrogated, so it is not appropriate to rush to arrest them."
But Yao Hong, Yu Xu and several other Yiqingjing Taoist Masters also immediately stood up and stood in front of Taixiao Taoist Master, saying: "Fang Jian's crime is already very clear, why should we interrogate him?"
The Taoist Taoist Master immediately ordered: "Take it down."
Taoist Master Taizhang is a powerful person in the Qing realm. He released a beam of 'Shangqing Xuanqi' and fell on Fang Jian. Fang Jian had no resistance and was immediately suppressed by Shangqing Xuanqi.
Fang Jian's Taisu Xuanguang, Shangqing Zhenlei Bodhi Tree, Chaos Bell, and the physical and Taoist magic powers were all suppressed. Only the Dao Law and Xuanqing Willow Branches (innate treasures) were not affected.
But Fang Jian did not use these two, but said to Hongmeng Editor: "Xiaohong, let's start."
"Yes, Master." Xiao Hong responded, and then activated the arrangement that Fang Jian had made in advance in the Hongmeng Editor's "Dao Life Column". At the same time, Fang Jian's Hongmeng Dao Qi was instantly deducted by 1 million Dao Qi. .
The next moment, everyone in Hongfan Hall heard three thunderous sounds suddenly sounded outside the hall.
'Boom' 'Boom'
As these three thunders resounded through the sky, streaks of clear purple thunder instantly illuminated the entire Hongfan Hall, and then a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, extending directly from the ground outside Hongfan Hall into the main hall.
There was a burst of exclamations in the hall, and Taichong Taoist Master even said in surprise: "Everyone, be careful, it's the innate purple clear sky thunder!"
The innate Purple Clear Sky Thunder is the powerful spirit of heaven and earth, the hub of Wuji, and the source of the Purple Clear Sky Thunder and thousands of thunders.
Although I don’t know why this divine thunder suddenly appeared, all the ministers and Taoists on both sides of the hall retreated, fearing that they would not be able to avoid it. The thick purple clear sky thunder struck into the hall from outside the hall, The jade ground along the way exploded instantly, and black cracks spread in all directions.
"Let him go quickly." Taoist Taixiao shouted to Taoist Taizhang.
But Taoist Taoist Master Taizhang looked towards the five Taifus. While using their mighty defense to avoid the innate Purple Clear Heavenly Thunder, the five Taoist Masters shook their heads at Taoist Taizhang.
In the blink of an eye, the innate purple thunder struck Fang Jian, and there was a loud "bang" sound, and Fang Jian's whole body was immediately enveloped in the purple thunder light.
Seeing this scene, Taoist Master Taixiao immediately shook his head and sighed.
But at the next moment, an innate purple thunder suddenly struck Taoist Taizhang straight from where Fang Jian was standing.
Taoist Taoist Master Taizhang's face froze, and all the Taoist Masters around him hurriedly avoided, and Taoist Master Taizhang's expression changed greatly, but at this moment it was too late for him to hide, so he had to use the millions of powerful forces to support Shangqing Xuanqi's defense.
In an instant, the innate purple clear sky thunder directly broke Taizhang Taoist's strongest defense with a thunderbolt, and then fell on Taizhang Taoist with undiminished power.
The next moment, Taoist Master Taizhang screamed, and then the clear purple thunder light illuminated the entire Hongfan Hall, making everyone's eyes turn purple.
The entire Hongfan Hall seemed to have fallen silent. After an unknown period of time, the thunder in Hongfan Hall faded away, the thunder light dissipated, and everyone could see the situation in the hall clearly again.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Fang Jian, who was originally shrouded by the innate purple clear sky thunder, was still standing there intact, but the power of Taoist Taizhang on him to suppress him had disappeared.
But where Fang Jian was, there was a scorched black mark extending all the way to the outside of Hong Fan Hall.
Everyone looked at Taoist Taizhang again, but...
"Where is Taoist Taizhang?"
"Where did Taizhang Dao Zun go?"
"Taizhang Dao Zun?!"
"Look there!"
Someone shouted, and everyone quickly gathered around where Taoist Taoist Taizhang was standing just now. Then they saw a pile of golden dust where Taoist Taoist Taizhang was standing just now. The pile of dust fell on the ground, forming four big characters:
"Fang Jian is not guilty!"
Everyone who saw the pile of golden ashes and the four big characters changed their colors in shock, and the five Taiwan assistants quickly stepped forward and came to the pile of ashes.
After the five Taifus inspected it, the Taiwei Taoist Master of the Yufutai Taifu looked horrified and said: "This is the ashes of Taizhang Taoist Master!"
Tribulation ashes are the things left behind by monks above Daluo Jinxian who died in response to the calamity. They can also be regarded as powerful 'ashes'. The appearance of calamity ashes means that the person has died in response to the calamity, and his body and soul have been destroyed.
"Impossible! Taoist Taizhang is a great master of Yiqing Realm, how could it be possible?"
Some people couldn't believe it, but the five Taiwan assistants were very conscious. Tao Zhen Tao Zun said: "This is the ashes of Tao Zhen Tao Zun."
At this moment, someone stepped forward and wanted to gather the ashes of Taoist Taizhang together. However, the ashes of Taoist Taizhang remained motionless, always maintaining the arrangement of the traces of the four words 'Fang Jian is not guilty'.
Seeing this scene, the five Taiwan assistants, the Taoists, and the ministers immediately turned around and looked at Fang Jian with shocked eyes.
At this time, Fang Jian was holding a stick of fragrance made by magic power in his hand. He looked at everyone and said, "The innate purple pure sky thunder came to this world to redress my grievances. I, Fang Jian, am not guilty. Whoever disagrees that I am not guilty?" , Do you dare to say it on the spot? The innate world and heaven and earth are the evidence, who dares to say it? "
There was silence in the hall. Fang Jian saw that no one spoke for a long time, so he immediately bowed to the five Taiwan Assistants and said: "Five Taiwan Assistants, if you want to pronounce Fang Jian guilty, please pronounce the sentence now."
The five Taixiao assistants did not speak, but Tao Zun Taixiao reacted and immediately asked Fang Jian: "Fang Jian, have you really asked Heaven and Earth?"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Taizhang Dao Zun has died in response to the disaster. This is the reaction of heaven and earth. If anyone doesn't believe it, you can try to declare me guilty now."
"I have heaven and earth as proof! Heaven and earth prove that I am innocent!" Fang Jian held his head high and said proudly. At this time, his momentum even surpassed most of the people present.
Fang Jian was not bluffing. One million Hongmeng Dao Qi cannot be wasted. One more person will be killed.
But now no one dares to take risks. At this time, Tao Zun Taixiao immediately said to the five Taifus: "To the five Taifus, since Lieutenant Fang Jian asked for the will of heaven and earth, he is indeed innocent, so he may as well comply with it." God willing."
This is a step up for the five Taiwan Assistants, and the five Taiwan Assistants have to step down now, because if they don't follow this step, today's matter will not end and it will be embarrassing.
So the five Taiwan assistants looked at each other, and finally Taizhen Dao Zun said: "Captain Fang Jian, since God's will has determined that you are not guilty, then God's will shall prevail. You handle the Honglutai matter. The forum now declares that you have no guilt." Blame for fault.”
As Taozhen Taoist's words fell, the ashes of Taizhang Taoist immediately gathered together automatically. Seeing this scene, everyone present shrank their pupils.
Immediately afterwards, Tao Zun Taihe said to a senior minister of Ting Lu Si who was still in a daze: "Immediately send Tao Zhang Tao Zun's ashes back to Ting Lu Si for release, and we will hold a funeral for Tao Zhang Tao Zun after the incident of Prince Yunhao is over. "
The minister came to his senses and quickly bowed and said: "I will obey the law."
After the Shangqing collected the ashes of Taizhang Daozun and left the forum and sent them back to the Tinglu Department, the five Taifus each returned to their positions and said to everyone in the hall: "Please return to your positions."
Everyone glanced at Taoist Taoist Taizhang's position with lingering fear. Even Yao Hong didn't dare to jump anymore at this moment, and they all took orders and returned to their seats.
But everyone was in a daze, and they still had not recovered from the fall of a great master of the Yiqing Realm.
At this time, Taizhen Dao Zun asked Fang Jian: "Colonel Fang Jian, I didn't expect that you have the ability to pray to heaven and earth."
You must know that even they can only pray and make wishes to the innate world of heaven and earth during special times of worshiping heaven and earth, and they may not necessarily get spiritual responses.
Unexpectedly, Fang Jian could actually pray to heaven and earth at such an ordinary moment, and it was so responsive that it directly led to the death of a Taoist Master in the Yiqing realm.
Fang Jian cupped his hands and said: "Returning to Tao Zhen Taoist Master, I was blessed by heaven and earth when I was young, so when I pray to heaven and earth, I always receive more blessings than others. Therefore, the place where I live in the Taoist temple is always enshrined in the place of heaven and earth. I paid homage every day and did not dare to slack off, so I was blessed by heaven and earth."
Hearing this, everyone present was excited. They immediately remembered Fang Jian's words in their hearts and prepared to go back and worship the heaven and earth in their own ashram and worship every day.
The five Taiwan assistants nodded, and then Tao Zhen Taoist Master said: "Fang Jian, where is Yao Yao?"
Fang Jian replied: "Going back to Tao Zhen Taoist Master, Yao Yao is the chief culprit of the Honglutai turmoil. He is currently imprisoned in the Night Watch Mansion. When I return, I will be interrogated strictly and await punishment."
Yao Hong said: "Captain Fang Jian, since you have killed more than a hundred people from the Qianzhao Tao Kingdom and your crime has been eliminated, Yao Yao should be released."
Fang Jiandao: "Yao Yao is the leader of the rebellion. He is responsible not only for the Honglutai rebellion, but also for the many casualties in Jingshan Dao Kingdom, and even more so for the deaths of more than a hundred people in Qianzhao Dao Kingdom! Let him go! It’s absolutely impossible for Yao Yao!”
"You!!" Yao Hong was furious, but the fate of Taoist Taizhang just appeared in his mind immediately, so he had to suppress his anger and said to the five Taiwan Assistants: "Let the five Taiwan Assistants make a decision on this matter."
But the five Taiwan assistants also have a headache. But since Fang Jian has been declared innocent, they cannot force Fang Jian to release Yao Yao. At this moment, they can only say: "There is nothing wrong with what Fang Jian said, but you should deal with it as soon as possible." Yao Yao conducted an interrogation, and after the interrogation was clear, he immediately handed it over to the Court of Justice for disposal."
Fang Jianji bowed his head and said, "Yes."
Then Tao Zhen Taoist waved his hand and said: "Fang Jian, nothing happens now. You can go back first."
Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I will retire."
Then Fang Jian said goodbye and left. As soon as Fang Jian left, there was an uproar in Hongfan Hall, and Yao Hong jumped out again and demanded that Fang Jian be executed.
But Daozhen Taizhen shut up Yao Hong with just one sentence, "It is easy to execute Fang Jian. Daozhen Yao Hong just goes there in person."
Yao Hong immediately ceased his activities. The biggest question now is, who knows if Fang Jian has 'prayed' for himself? If he prays to the Infinite Realm of Innate Heaven and Earth: If anyone kills him, then the person who kills him will also 'die in response to the calamity', isn't that the end?
Yao Hong didn't dare to gamble, and neither did the Taoists here. Is it easy to cultivate to the level of Yiqing? In the innate infinite world, there is really only one life.
"I am just a minister, and I will not participate in the killing and execution." Yao Hong sat down and said.
The five Taiwan assistants shook their heads helplessly, and then they glanced at the position that originally belonged to Taoist Taizhang.
"Now let's discuss who will take over the position of Taoist Taizhang." Taoist Taoist Taizhen said slowly.
Seeing the empty position of Taoist Taizhang, the five Taifus felt distressed. This was a great master of the Yiqing Realm. This loss was too great.
And Tao Zhen Tao Zun's heart twitched even more. Tao Zhang Tao Zun was also a disciple of Tao Zun Tai Yi, that is, his junior brother, but he fell here in such a childish and aggrieved way.
Thinking of this, Tai Zhen Dao Zun's hostility towards Fang Jian became even deeper.
But Fang Jian's status has become more important in the eyes of the upper echelons of the Great Court. Although many people still hate Fang Jian, they have begun to understand the situation. This person is extremely special and cannot be easily eliminated.
In their eyes, Fang Jian is a hedgehog. If you want to get rid of him, you will have to pay an extremely heavy price.
So the thoughts in the minds of these nobles began to change. Since they couldn't get rid of it for a while, they had to change the way they treated Fang Jian.
