"Impossible!" Pang Gu waved his hand and said, "Since the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there has been a clear rule that the struggle between sects in the world of immortality requires the survival of the fittest. As long as it does not escalate to a racial war, the court will not care about such things at all. Even if millions of people are killed or injured in a sect dispute, the most that can be done is to send an official from the capital to inspect the local area, and by the way, let the people from Tiandu Yuan come to collect some benefits, and find death row prisoners as scapegoats. Everyone’s mouth. If it hadn’t been like this, the masters of the demon clan would have wiped out the thirty-six islands in the Beiminghai Sea. How could the war in the Beiguan Pass last for two years? "
Baili Fu nodded and said: "Since such a bizarre event happened in ancient Qin County, the imperial court will probably be furious! What's the point of sending an imperial envoy to Hancheng at this time?"
"I'm afraid we won't know until the imperial envoy comes. You don't have to worry about anything. People like Ma Tiancheng can be ranked as marquises. Are you still worried about being dismissed from office?" Pang Gu said meaningfully.
"Brother Pang, why do you need to make fun of me? I don't have to be a city manager to do this!" Baili Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Well, now Hancheng is overcrowded, and various tribes will come to retaliate at any time. The whole city should be strictly ordered not to fight. Anyone who gathers to make trouble must be suppressed forcefully. In this regard, I need your help, Brother Lao."
"This is a matter within one's duty. Why does Brother Pang need to say anything? In my opinion, it is better for your academy to open the protective formation as soon as possible. I am worried that the revenge of the various clans will not be that simple. Moreover, the ancient Beiminghai in the back mountain There are often fluctuations at the entrance of the cave, which always makes people feel uneasy every night! The academy is too close to the entrance, and ordinary people are not guilty, but they are guilty of carrying a treasure! In addition, Brother Pang wants the popularity of Hancheng to reach a real level. To take off, it may not be enough to just absorb the population and reform teaching, but to show strong strength! As long as the current difficulties are resolved, who can not know the name of Hancheng? In a few years, I am afraid that If you share the luck of humanity, you can really form a dragon's veins!"
"Don't be anxious, everything is developing steadily, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults! The situation in the world is still unclear. Even the soul-nurturing place in ancient Qin County can have something ominous, and we don't know which force is responsible. , that is the soul-nurturing place opened by Emperor Ji Yuan himself, it is no small matter! What does our mere dispute over one city and one place count?" Pang Gu said.
The two then talked for nearly two hours before Baili Fu stood up and left.
After Baili Fu left, Li Xiu's clone walked in from the backyard.
"I just sensed that I'm back. I should be able to arrive in Hancheng in an hour." Li Xiu's clone said.
Pang Gu nodded. Half a month ago, Li Xiu's clone became very insensitive. Apparently Li Xiu's real body encountered something dangerous and told Pang Gu that he might want a secret room. Gu placed Li Xiu's clone in a secret room in his backyard.
Pang Gu was really surprised when he heard the news that Li Xiu was coming back. Because he and Qiao Fu kept in communication, Li Xiu did not come forward to deal with the matter at Fenglei Pavilion, but disappeared for more than half a month.
Doesn't the matter in Gu Qin County have something to do with Li Xiu?
Pang Gu had such a conjecture, even a person like him felt frightened!
At this moment, the boy knocked at the door, and it was Lu Zisheng who came to ask for an audience. Pang Gu asked the boy to just ask Lu Zisheng to come here.
Li Xiu's clone did not avoid suspicion, and Pang Gu didn't think there was anything wrong.
After Lu Zisheng came in, he saw that Li Xiu was actually here, with a look of hesitation on his face.
"Zisheng, why do you come to see me?" Pang Gu asked.
Lu Zisheng paid homage to the Patriarch and then said: "This... Patriarch, I don't know whether to talk about something or not."
Pang Gu slightly said displeasedly: "Brother Li has shared weal and woe with my academy several times. We are our own people. Is there anything you can't say openly?"
Lu Zisheng said: "The Patriarch misunderstood. Zisheng did not treat Li Shaoxia as an outsider, but it was better for Li Shaoxia to avoid this matter first."
Li Xiu's clone was quite indifferent and said, "In that case, I'll go out for a walk first." After saying that, he left on his own. Pang Gu knew that this was just Li Xiu's clone and didn't care about anything. Even if it was the real body, Pang Gu would never think that the other person was rude or anything. But when Lu Zisheng saw it, he felt quite uncomfortable, with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Say it." Pang Gu looked at Lu Zisheng.
Lu Zisheng explained: "I didn't know that Li Shaoxia happened to be here with the ancestor, otherwise..."
"Okay, no need to explain, I know everything!" Pang Gu said calmly, indicating that Lu Zisheng had something to say. Li Xiu's clone lives in his secret room, and no one really knows about it. No wonder Lu Zisheng. However, Pang Gu never expected that Lu Zisheng would actually ask Li Xiu to avoid him in front of Li Xiu. Even if he was Li Xiu's clone, he would have to explain himself afterwards. It would be bad if he had a grudge.
Lu Zisheng said: "The first two craftsmen were caught in the front yard. They obviously had their bones changed to disguise themselves and their bloodlines were changed. It was difficult to find out their specific identities for a while. After two days of refining, I got two things from their laws and precepts! "As he said that, he turned over his hands and brought up the two things and handed them to Pang Gu.
Pang Gu took it and took a look, his expression changed slightly.
This is actually a black golden dragon seal, engraved with the demonic characters "longevity and longevity".
The other thing is a piece of silk.
"This is an imperial edict written by the emperor. This part should be the imperial envoy's order?" Pang Gu's surprise was extraordinary. Could it be that those two details were the imperial envoy?
I saw the words on the silk, naming Li Xiu as the chosen seed, conferring a third-class marquis, and saying that he would enter the capital with the imperial envoy that day.
This matter was indeed important. No wonder Lu Zisheng did not dare to make his own decision and even wanted to avoid Li Xiu.
Marquises conferred by the imperial decree have all made great contributions to the court. For example, Ma Tiancheng's title of Marquis of Zhenbei was obtained through hereditary substitution after Ma Xingkong faked his death. It is said that he is only a third-class marquis.
There has never been a precedent for a strong human being in the world of immortality and someone who has been granted the title of Marquis since Bu Le Kaiyuan. Even those evil sects in Dayuanzhou who made contributions to the imperial court only received territorial rewards and did not receive any title. In other words, even if you are a monk, you must be an official or a general, otherwise you will not have a title. The title of the Demon Kingdom is definitely full of gold.
Let’s not talk about Li Xiu’s virtues and talents, but let’s talk about the selection of the Heavenly Chosen Seed. It is true that there have been precedents in the past dynasties, especially during the Seven Martial Sects period. It was popular for a while, but it was not initiated by the imperial power of any court, but by the supreme power. . Even though the Demonic Kingdom is powerful today, this power that belongs to the Supreme cannot be taken away so easily.
The matter was weird. If it weren't for the fact that the imperial envoy's order and the emperor's edict in his hand didn't look fake, Panggu would have doubted whether this was a prank.
"Where are those two people being held? Take me to see them!" Pang Gu said to Lu Zisheng.
"Temporarily detained in Cell No. 3, Tianzi." Lu Zisheng replied, and then he and Pang Gu rushed over. If those two secretaries are really imperial envoys, and now Panggu comes forward, there is still a chance of recovery, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. The imperial envoy is the face of Emperor Ji Yuan.
Pang Gu and Lu Zisheng were both prepared to be raped by the imperial envoy. However, before that, the identity of the other party must be confirmed.
"Imperial envoy? Caught as a spy? What caused the fuss?" After the two left, Li Xiu's clone murmured to himself. Suddenly there was a flash of light in his eyes, and the indifferent expression on his face was completely gone. This clone is well-dressed and usually attended by servants. His face is clean and his hair is well-kempt. Apart from his dull expression, he actually looks pretty good. His lips are red and his teeth are white. He cannot be said to be very handsome, but he definitely depends on his clothes. However, at this moment, Li Xiu touched his hair and then looked at his clothes. There was a feeling of discomfort on his face.
At this time, he had no time to pay attention to this kind of thing. Instead, he returned to the secret room and sat up cross-legged. He used the Three Corpses Technique to combine the silk tentacles with the earth. He followed Pang Gu and Lu Zisheng and approached Cell No. 3 Tianzi.
Li Xiu's true form has returned.
When he came back this time, he made a temporary decision to plant ice beans and wheat in the medicine field of Hanchen Academy.
Pang Gu is not exempt from vulgarity. Hanchen Academy also has many cells. Generally, felons are imprisoned in underground cells. There are four levels of heaven, earth, xuan and yellow. The underground cells are heaven, earth and xuan. The levels increase from high to low. The highest level Tianzi cell is in There are three underground floors, the underground cell is on the second underground floor, the Xuan cell is on the first underground floor, and the yellow cell is above the ground. Because foreigners came to the academy last time to raid the academy, some monks, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, released all the criminals in the yellow cells on the ground. However, the underground cells were protected by formations and were connected to the base of the Five Elements Formation in Hancheng. Together, even though the Five Elements Formation and the Academy's Guarding Formation were removed last time, the formations in some special places existed independently and were not closed, so they did not allow strong foreigners to succeed for a while.
The system of the underground cell is incompatible with the academy. It has its own rules, is cold, damp, and dark. The three prison chiefs are all in the late Yuanying period and have been cultivating disaster relief. They have been living underground for who knows how many years. Their status is special. They are not under the control of the Elders' House, but directly take orders from the three giants of the former Hanchen Academy. Nowadays, there is only one giant left in Hanchen Academy, Pang Gu. In theory, the three prison chiefs directly obey Pang Gu. In fact, sometimes the other two prison chiefs do not agree with Pang Gu very much. They were all the people who first founded the academy with Pang Gu, Ma Kuai, and Gou Yue, and their status was equivalent to that of Qiao Fu. Therefore, in this special place, they had indeed survived the inhuman years and brought great benefits to Hanchen Academy. It has gained a lot of important value. In some respects, the contribution of the three prison chiefs is not inferior to that of the Presbytery.
Pang Gu and Lu Zisheng went straight to the cell at Tianzi No. 3 at the bottom.
