The Imperial Master’s Ruler…
In the meeting hall, the faces of the people sitting around the long table changed again after returning to calm.
Not only was he shocked, but he was also confused, and then he seemed to recall the meaning behind the name.
The first floor of the Library Pavilion is open to all supervisors. Some knowledge that is not secret will be recorded in it. One of them is the ruler of the Imperial Master.
Speaking of which, this "weapon" is somewhat related to the story of Gou Hanyi. According to legend, the imperial master lived in a bamboo forest for a long time when he was in trouble, and cut down bamboo sticks to help him walk.
Later, after returning to the military tent, as if to commemorate this time, he took the bamboo stick back with him and threw it in the room to play with the brazier.
The army traveled to various places, but this bamboo staff was not left behind, but it became shorter and shorter due to wear and tear.
When the army entered the capital of the gods and the Great Zhou Dynasty was established, the bamboo stick used to manipulate the brazier was ground into a short stick and was no longer useful, so the imperial master casually threw it in a corner.
It wasn't until the Qintian Prison was established and the imperial master in his twilight years began to accept disciples that he found it on a whim and cut it into a ruler.
This rule has been used by many people, and many of their names are famous today:
For example, Qin Tian Jian Zheng, such as the female head of the state religion.
Another example is...the five warlords present here.
Li Guofeng's face twitched uncontrollably, as if recalling unbearable past events.
The ruler was originally a mortal object, but after being with the Imperial Master for too long, it was infected by spiritual elements and gradually turned into a magical weapon.
But precisely because the material is too inferior, the quality of this magical instrument is not high.
When placed in a Qi-nourishing realm, it can be called the best. It's pretty good at Yupojiu Realm, but it's a bit useless at higher levels.
"I remember that the Imperial Master threw it into Zhenlong Pagoda in the past, saying that those who are destined can get it." Xu Xiurong said in a complicated tone in silence.
Ji Ping'an nodded: "I did get it from Zhenlong Pagoda."
After a pause, he showed an innocent smile: "Well, so to speak, I am destined to this thing."
Wang Xian and Si Chen stared blankly at the ruler, shocked and sour. They all knew the legend of Zhenlong Pagoda. Who has not dreamed of obtaining this weapon?
It’s just that there are so many people who have failed that they are suspected of not even existing.
Now, this legendary magical weapon was presented to them in such a dramatic way.
Just... a bit depressed.
The five warlords also had strange looks on their faces. They knew the mechanism of Zhenlong Tower very well. Naturally, they would not have thought that Ji Ping'an had the ability to open the "back door", so... they could only explain it by fate.
However... the imperial master recommended this person before his death, and now he was given a ruler. Isn't this a manifestation of "the law of fate"?
"Ahem, if that's the case, it makes sense." Xu Xiurong blinked:
"This ring ruler was made by bathing in the radiance of the stars. It is most suitable for our Muyuan path. It also has the effect of 'breaking souls'. It can restrain the magic of the demon clan."
As a prisoner, she is very aware of the capabilities of this magical weapon:
The formation engraved on it restrains the soul and has a great blessing effect on wood spells, followed by fire spells.
Ji Ping'an said "en" and said:
"Originally, I secretly used this ruler to control the vines to fight with it, but I didn't expect it to use a magic method to get close to me, so I subconsciously resisted. It turned out that the magic method happened to be a method of leaving the body..."
He didn't say the rest, but everyone understood.
In the world of spiritual practice, spells involving the soul are particularly special, with very distinct advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages are: the casting of the spell is concealed and impossible to detect. Unless it is like opening the eyes of the Taoist sect, it is extremely difficult to detect. And ordinary swords are difficult to resist, and the effectiveness of spells will also be reduced.
The disadvantage is: if there is a way to specifically restrain the soul, the damage will be extremely great.
Very extreme.
In Ji Ping'an's narrative, if the other party engages in a tug-of-war, they are likely to win, or at least run away.
But he chose to attack in close combat, and when the gun was drawn, he was...
In fact, Ji Ping'an himself felt that it was somewhat of a coincidence. His original plan was to arrest the other party as much as possible without exposing his trump card.
But the plan can't keep up with the changes...
"No wonder, the saint of the state religion once said that her soul was traumatized when she inquired about the spirit." Jian Zhuang suddenly realized.
At this point, everything has a reasonable explanation.
Ji Ping'an frequently entered Zhenlong Pagoda some time ago. This is known to many people. Now it seems that he obtained it at that time.
Only Luo Huaizhu tilted her head and looked at him, but she remembered her original agreement and kept silent for him, so she remained silent.
Everyone asked about the follow-up of the case and learned that the court officials involved had been handed over to the government office, so they did not go into details further.
Even if there is a follow-up, it has nothing to do with this group of Si Chen.
"In this case, this case is over. You and others can go back and sum up the gains and losses. I believe that after this incident, you and others should also understand that cultivation is not just about using enough force."
At the end, Li Guofeng summarized the meeting.
Then he looked at Ji Pingan and said:
"Since the ruler has found you, then cherish it. This thing is enough to be used to break the nine. Don't let your reputation as a national master fall. As for the reward, since Muyuan wins this time, it will be rewarded later to help you practice hard. "
The others looked envious.
But at this moment, there were footsteps approaching from outside. Pei Sili pushed open the courtyard door, and was followed by a palace eunuch and a guard holding a box.
"Eunuch Deng, this is..." Li Guofeng stood up to greet him, a little confused.
The old eunuch named "Deng" smiled and said:
"It's the case solved by the Qintian Prison today. The government office, Chen Fuyin, has reported to the Emperor. His Majesty has specially ordered our family to give Ji Sichen a reward of five hundred taels of silver for his merits."
As an official of high rank, Si Chen enjoys the same treatment as an official.
A group of Si Chens were even more upset, wondering why the rewards kept coming one after another.
What Ji Ping'an thought about was: Finally, Huang He could be paid.
There are children in other people’s families, and there must be no shortage of children in one’s own family.
…
…
noon.
When Xue Hongjian and his party walked into the dining hall, they were keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
In ancient times that lacked entertainment, sharing gossip and discussing new things during meals was a rare pleasure. The topic of conversation during the past two days was still the case of the "Special Training Class".
Today is no exception. It's just that the content has changed from discussing which branch can come out on top and denouncing Muyuan, to new breaking news.
"Brother Xue, come sit here." An astronomy student called him over and said excitedly: "Have you heard? The trial of the special training class is over."
Xue Hongjian was surprised: "Really? Which hospital won?"
The man shook his head, his expression still filled with disbelief:
"It's Muyuan. Ji Ping'an killed the wanted criminal of the demon clan by himself, and it is said that important clues were found. The governor of the government personally sent them to the palace, alerting His Majesty the God Emperor, and even sent people from the palace to distribute rewards. Woolen cloth."
"Wait... I'm a little confused." Xue Hongjian's brain buzzed, and he was bombarded by the barrage of information: "Speak slowly and explain each item in detail."
"Is such that……"
When the man told the news, a group of astronomy students froze on the spot, forgetting to prepare food, and just felt unbelievable.
Junior Sister Wang said blankly: "What you said...is true? Is this all planned by Ji Ping'an?"
Another old student next to him said:
"Senior Brother Li from the special training class told us personally. How can it be false? Moreover, there is a secret. Do you know how he was able to kill the murderer?"
"Why?"
The old man shook his head and said proudly:
"Because Ji Ping'an got a magic weapon from Zhenlong Pagoda. Yes, it is the legendary ruler that the Imperial Master used back then!"
Another thunder struck, and Xue Hongjian and others were fried to a crisp on the outside and burnt on the inside.
Next to him, the young man in brocade clothes who had once spoken out to retaliate sat dumbly, as if he had been immobilized, and murmured:
"How could it be, how could it be..."
It's not just him, most people's first reaction is disbelief, but they can't stand the irrefutable evidence.
With the confirmation of a famous old student, the direction of public opinion in the dining hall has completely reversed.
"What did I say? Since the supervisors invited him in, they must have deep intentions. What's the result?" A disciple slapped the case and stood up, feeling proud and proud.
"It is a skill to be able to defeat the geniuses of various schools with one person's strength. Who said that short training time is not enough?"
"The supervisors have long said that practice is not just about killing, but more importantly, the mind. Senior Brother Ji has taught everyone a lesson."
"I heard that Senior Brother Wang Xian and the others were convinced and willing to accept the defeat."
Si Chen, a slender woman with a high-pitched voice, said louder: "Where are those people who are questioning? Why don't you speak?"
There was a lot of discussion.
Several Muyuan disciples in the crowd were even more happy, with their chests raised and their heads raised, feeling proud.
As Huang He said, most of the disciples have no ill feelings towards Muyuan, they were just led to the rhythm. Now the results are announced.
Under the ironclad facts, no one could criticize him. Many people who had not spoken out before expressed their opinions and cheered for Ji Ping'an. However, the doubters on that day shrank and remained silent. The scene was spectacular.
People's hearts are very strange. If the other person is slightly stronger than themselves, they will develop a sense of comparison and even evil thoughts.
But if the other party forces you too much, you will feel admired. This is the so-called "Mu Qiang".
in the crowd.
Pei Sili and a colleague were quite moved when they saw this scene.
The colleague laughed and said: "I didn't expect that Ji Ping'an was quite popular at that time, but I heard that he rarely had contact with people and didn't socialize much."
Pei Sili shook his head and said slowly: "Isn't it the same for Luo Huaizhu? As a celebrity, distance brings beauty... These sentences created by the National Master are really wonderful."
The colleague nodded and suppressed his smile: "Let's get down to business."
While talking, the two walked into the crowd and individually called out the rhythmic disciples who had publicly questioned Ji Ping'an in the past two days according to the list - this was the order of the five warlords.
After Li Guofeng noticed the public opinion trend a few days ago, he ordered people to observe and record secretly.
He didn't know that Ji Ping'an was fishing at the time, but with Peng Yuan's incident in mind, he would certainly suspect that there might be someone behind this public turmoil against Mu Yuan.
Now it’s time to close the net.
"Si Li...what are you looking for me for?" When the young man in brocade was called, he stood up tremblingly. He recognized the robe of the Law Enforcement Hall and had a bad premonition.
The Law Enforcement Hall Secretary Li looked indifferent: "Don't ask so many questions, just come with us and we will find out if there are any problems."
The young man in brocade turned pale.
