When the young man saw that he had received a set of clothes that had been worn by the emperor, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter, and he was about to bow to thank him.
Unexpectedly, another voice sounded in the hall, "Oops, if I had known that I would be rewarded if I came naked, then I would come naked too."
Zhu Jie raised his eyes and looked around, but he didn't see the person who was speaking.
Until the voice sounded again, saying, "Guanjia, I'm here."
Zhu Jie followed the voice and saw the oil lamp on his desk, but he quickly looked away and looked elsewhere, curiously asking, "Where is the Immortal Family?"
As a result, the next moment, the flame of the oil lamp jumped, and then a palm stretched out from the flame, followed by arms, chest, head and the rest of the body, all jumped from the flame. out.
But it was a short man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He laughed strangely and shouted, "I am the Fire Element Sun Lai." He fell to the ground.
His appearance was even more shocking than Ye Crow's.
Especially because he was very close to Zhu Jie, he also alerted the guards behind Zhu Jie. One of them drew his sword and shouted angrily, "Where is the monster!" and slashed it with his sword.
Because everything happened so fast, Zhu Jie had no time to stop it, but he didn't expect that as soon as the sword touched Huo Xingsun's skin, the guard holding the sword let out a scream and threw away the red-burned sword in his hand. .
When he looked down at his palms, he saw that they were already blistered.
"The Fire Sun must not be rude!" Master Dongxuan said quickly. On the contrary, Zhu Jie quickly regained his composure after being frightened. He looked at the Fire Sun, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
"It doesn't matter. It was my guards who took action first. The Huo Xian family was just protecting themselves. It's not his fault. It's not his fault."
After Zhu Jie finished speaking, he asked Master Dongxuan again, "I wonder if Master Dongxuan has any other disciples? Could you please call them all here so that I can have a look?"
"Pindao has seven disciples in total. It is their blessing to be summoned by the official. However... my eldest disciple Lei Ze has been in seclusion for the past ten years to learn Taoism and practice the art of driving thunder and lightning. I am afraid that I have no time to pay attention to him now. . And the second disciple went to the underworld yesterday to solve an old case, and his soul has not returned yet.
"The third disciple is doing calligraphy and painting... He is still in the palace, but the officials should not be anxious. He is helping His Majesty exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. Once the evil spirits that are entangled with Ning Jieyu are caught, he will naturally come back to see the officials."
"Is there really a monster causing trouble in the palace?" Zhu Jie let it slip because he was too surprised. Fortunately, everyone in the palace had been completely attracted by the immortal methods used by Dongxuan Zhenren's two disciples.
Except for the eight people from Si Tianjian, few people thought about it carefully.
Cheng Guan's face was ugly. He felt that his group had been completely fooled. Fortunately, Si Tianjian had spent so much effort to find Lu Jing and others from the academy to pretend to be supervisors. He even prepared the materials for the ritual. Just so that he could seriously fool Zhu Jie, an official of the Chen Dynasty, so that he could sleep well at night.
As a result, people themselves simply don’t believe in this kind of thing.
The more Chengguan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he also became more and more displeased with Master Dongxuan and his two disciples.
He was still muttering, "It's just a cover-up," and after saying that, he looked in the direction of Xia Huai and others, as if hoping to get their approval.
However, to his expectation, Xia Huai's expression became more solemn than ever at this moment. In fact, not only Xia Huai, but basically all the other academy disciples except Lu Jing looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Lu Jing became Cheng Guan's life-saving straw. Cheng Guan poked Lu Jing with his finger and whispered, "Hey, you can do what they just showed."
"I can't do it." Lu Jing said simply, and then asked Cheng Guan, "Besides Si Tianjian and the academy, are there any other practitioners in the world?"
Cheng Guan shook his head, "I actually don't know much about your practice world. My duties in Si Tianjian are mainly to communicate with other government agencies and martial arts forces, so that they can try to cooperate with the supervision of the agency, or At least you won’t cause any damage, and other things are not under my control, but..."
"But what?"
"It seems that someone caused trouble in the local area before. I heard Young Supervisor Guo mention that he was some kind of hermit, but there should be very few such people, and they are not that strong."
Lu Jing knew that Cheng Guan's guess was generally correct.
Indeed, no matter how powerful a certain spell or technique is, generally speaking, it cannot compare to a complete inheritance of a thousand years. As a place that supplies fresh blood to Si Tianjian, the academy combines the strengths of each family and has the perseverance of generations after generations. Research and improve.
Even if the practice methods compiled now are not the most perfect, they are certainly close to perfection.
In contrast, even if those hermit cultivators really existed, their cultivation resources would certainly not be as good as those of the academies, and they would basically be unable to solve the problem of the concentration of secret power alone.
However, the appearance of Master Dongxuan and his disciples seems to have subverted this common sense.
The spells displayed by both Night Crow and Fire Sun are a bit unbelievable, just like those fantasies that only appear in story books.
Just when Lu Jing was thinking about how they did it, Master Dongxuan also answered Zhu Jie's question. The old Taoist nodded and said, "Yes, even the poor Taoist just discovered it, but the officials don't need to worry. Since the calligraphy and painting have been taken care of, then The evil spirit will definitely not be able to escape."
"It is really a blessing for Jiuzhou that I can have the help of Zhenren and Zhenren's disciples." Zhu Jie couldn't help but be delighted when he heard this, and then asked, "Does Zhenren still have two disciples?"
"Well, my sixth and seventh disciples are special. I usually don't let them come out to meet people, but since the officials have given their word, I'll let them come."
After saying this, Master Dongxuan clapped his hands three times, and soon a crane roar sounded from outside the palace.
Then a white crane flew in from outside the door and landed in front of Zhu Jie, and it carried a tortoise on its back. Strangely enough, the crane and the tortoise were all excited when they saw Zhu Jie. They all lowered their necks as if in salute.
"The real person is really capable of reaching the heavens, and he can even bring auspiciousness under his sect." Zhu Jie's admiration came from the bottom of his heart. He paused and said, "Stop standing here, please sit down."
However, when he finished saying this, the four disciples of Master Dongxuan did not move a step.
Zhu Jie was stunned and asked, "Do you have anything else to do with the Xiaoxian family?"
Night Crow sighed, "The officials are considerate of us and let us sit down early. Of course we are very grateful, but our place in the palace has been taken by someone else."
