The Lizhou Ghost and God Department is in charge of the compound.
The White Deer Immortal was working at his desk. In front of him, a mountain of official documents was piled up.
Spiritual paper cranes shuttle back and forth, delivering documents.
All the affairs of ghosts and gods from various counties and counties in Lizhou will be reported to him, which is quite complicated.
In fact, under normal circumstances, there are four ministers and a group of deputy governors to assist them. The state governors can be quite free and only need to deal with a few difficult matters or important matters involving high-level third-level supernatural powers.
However, Lizhou is different from ordinary states and counties.
"Blood sacrifice" is prevalent, and Lizhou's witch hunt seems to be lively and lively, with attacks from all directions and great momentum, but in fact it is loud thunder and light rain.
As the governor of the state, he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
However, he also knew very well in his heart that it was useless for him to worry alone. Although Lizhou was only a state, it was thousands of miles wide and boundless. If he wanted to find the Litian Witch God, he would have to rely on his own efforts. Impossible.
We can only rely on the collective efforts of the various departments of the Department of Ghosts and Gods, and the Departments of Ghosts and Gods of each county and county to eradicate the "blood sacrifice trend".
However, precisely because of the unsatisfactory start and no record of directly resisting the Witch God's "Witch Curse", the immortal officials, ghosts, gods, and major tribes throughout Lizhou obviously lacked confidence in him and the Celestial Court. This resulted in Faced with a setback in the "witch hunt", he acted passively, dealt with the situation, and did not dare to offend the Witch God Li Tian.
After all, the state is in charge of the running water, and the local snake is iron-clad.
How dare you offend too deeply? The people below are like a mirror, no one is willing to do anything where the risks far outweigh the benefits.
It has to be said that Lizhou's witch hunt has encountered a bottleneck at the moment, and it is urgent to win a big battle and defeat the "Litian Witch God" in order to completely reverse the situation and bring about a fundamental change in the situation.
Otherwise, he is no different from the previous governor of the state, "Qing Yuzi". When the new official takes office, he has three fires. Water is too water. Once the fire is extinguished, he will start to lie down.
"Hey~ Now I understand fellow Taoist Qingyuzi."
The White Deer Immortal closed the folder in his hand and shook his head, quite disappointed.
When he first took office, he was really high-spirited. Thinking that he had the magical power of celestial dew to exorcise evil and pestilence, as well as the [Purple Light Pill Heavenly Seal], he could extremely restrain the Litian Witch God and deal with him. It was really easy for him.
As long as he becomes the governor of the state, the situation in Lizhou will change rapidly, sweeping away the smog and the evil atmosphere.
However, the reality is that there is a big gap.
All ministries and counties in Lizhou report the affairs of evil witches and ghosts every day. Most of them are trivial cases, or small miscellaneous fish in the jungles of the ten directions of Litian. The real core of the Litian God Department is just a little bit. There are no clues.
The White Deer Immortal was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and his inner belief had not wavered, but he was worried that the morale of his subordinates would be affected.
As the saying goes, once you make great efforts, you will be exhausted again and again.
There has been no progress, which is detrimental to the overall situation in Lizhou.
Just when the White Deer Immortal was worried, he noticed something, took out a magic talisman from his sleeve.
"call out!"
The spiritual talisman turned into a white light, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into an old Taoist wearing a golden Taoist robe.
Yellow is worn by kings. Among Taoist robes, gold and yellow are also the finest robes.
In the Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty, only the nine great elders of the Central Presbytery of the Immortal Court are qualified to wear yellow robes, while the golden robes are exclusive to the Celestial Masters and are the most noble and noble.
"Pindao has seen the Heavenly Master!"
The White Deer Immortal quickly stood up from the case and bowed his hands.
The person who came was none other than the current Heavenly Master Gutong Zhenren.
"Fellow Taoist Bailu, there is no need to be polite."
Gutong Zhenren's projection clone said hello, and sat down on his own. He acted vigorously and resolutely, and he spoke as soon as he sat down:
"The matter you submitted has been decided through the Immortal Court Elders' Council meeting today."
The White Deer Immortal knew what Gu Tongzhen said and felt happy.
Recently, he has repeatedly reported to the Celestial Court of Heaven, requesting to strengthen support for the Lizhou Taoist Temple and increase the allocation of resources to the Taoist Temple.
This is inseparable from Lizhou's campaign to suppress witches and curb the "blood sacrifice trend".
The way to control water is to block it rather than remove it.
If you want to cure the "blood sacrifice", on the one hand, you have to attack Li Tian Shen Wu. On the other hand, you need to spread Taoism, educate and guide all living beings here to be good and follow the Tao. The right way is to work together on both sides. Neither of them can be missing.
"Great kindness."
Bailu Xianweng was looking forward to it.
Now that the Celestial Immortal Court has agreed to strengthen support and increase resource investment, on the one hand, the level of Lizhou Taoist Academy will also increase accordingly. The Taoist Academy Mountain Chief will most likely be an elder of the Immortal Court, a third-grade great supernatural power and high meritorious deeds.
This is good news for him as the governor of the state. With another right-hand man, it will be much easier to govern Lizhou.
"Don't be too happy too early."
Master Gutong shook his head, a little helpless:
"The Taoist Academy is the foundation of the Ziwei Sect. The structure will not change in twenty or thirty years, and it is not easy for me to interfere."
The White Deer Immortal frowned when he heard this, calmed down and calmed down:
"I wonder which fellow Taoist Xianting plans to send to Lizhou Taoist Academy?"
"Fellow Taoist layman Qingzhu!"
"Taoist fellow Qingzhu has preached and taught in Taoist temples for many years, and has profound attainments in Confucian classics. In the past few years, he served as a lecturer in the Imperial Taoist Institute. Later, he expanded his territory and followed his husband to eight states in the southwest, taking charge of a Taoist temple in one state and educating one area. He is good at discovering talents and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. He is a famous teacher with both ability and political integrity in our fairy court. It is said that Taoist Chu Daoyou, the supervisor of Lizhou, entered the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy for further study in his early years. Taoist friend Qingzhu recognized Chu Dao at a glance. You are extremely talented and take the initiative to teach scriptures and give guidance on spiritual practice.”
After Master Gutong finished speaking, he said leisurely:
"I have to say that layman Qingzhu is an excellent candidate."
The White Deer Immortal nodded repeatedly:
"I don't have much dealings with fellow Taoist Qingzhu, but I have some understanding of his character. He has always had a pattern."
"hope so!"
Master Gutong nodded slightly, smiled, and said nothing more.
Back then, when he was in charge of the affairs of ghosts and gods, he didn't care about the factional conflicts at the top of the mountain. He just became the Immortal Master and the leader of the Jade Emperor Sect. After being used to hidden competitions and even struggles, he always planned for the worst and never planned for the worst. Place your hope in humanity.
"Let's not talk about the affairs of the Taoist Academy. Fellow Taoist Bailu, how about the witch hunt? This is the top priority in Lizhou right now. Without the eradication, the education and governance of the Taoist Academy will be like a castle in the air!"
"It's not going well right now."
The White Deer Immortal sighed leisurely and reported to Master Gu Tong that Lizhou's witch hunt had encountered a bottleneck:
"The people in Lizhou are currently distracted, and everyone is afraid of the witch god. The situation cannot be opened for a while."
Master Gutong was not surprised by this situation and comforted him: "Fellow Taoist Bailu, everything is difficult at the beginning. Take your time. There is no need to rush."
The White Deer Immortal nodded:
"I'm not in a hurry. Speaking of which, since I made the great ambition to completely cure the blood sacrifice, my Taoist practice has improved rapidly. The spirituality of the [Purple Light Dan Tianbao Seal] has greatly increased. It is expected to condense the divine embryo and become one of the top magic weapons. When the time comes, I can deal with Li." The witchcraft spell of the Heavenly Witch God is even more certain."
"Great kindness!"
Master Gutong stroked his gray beard and looked quite satisfied:
"How is the situation at the Lizhou Supervision Department?"
The White Deer Immortal smiled and said with emotion:
"Celestial Master, Fellow Daoist Chu has been very cooperative with me in suppressing witches. Recently, most of the clues for the high-level ghosts and gods of grade five or above that have been captured by the Ghosts and Gods Department come from the Supervision Department. We."
While he was talking, the White Deer Immortal remembered something, took out the [Lizhou Capital Administrative Order] from his sleeve, and penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness.
After about two or three breaths.
The expression of the White Deer Immortal suddenly became extremely exciting. He hesitated to speak and was speechless.
The projection clone of Gutong's real person on the side saw this and became curious:
"Fellow Daoist Bailu, what happened?"
The White Deer Immortal swallowed his saliva and murmured:
"Fellow Daoist Chu broke into the mountains and cut down the temple, and beheaded a clone of the true spirit of Litian Witch God."
"this"
When Master Gutong heard this, his mood was complicated, and the look on his face was wonderful.
"Senior brother, the White Deer Immortal must be extremely happy! We have made great achievements again!"
The little kid cheered for joy and was very interested in receiving the award for his meritorious service.
"That must be the case."
On the cloud, Chu Chen was in a good mood.
Two days ago, the White Deer Immortal had complained to him about the lack of progress in the witch hunt and was facing a deadlock. Now he had broken the bottleneck for the White Deer Immortal.
As long as the White Deer Immortal can resist the subsequent witchcraft, great things can happen!
"Hee hee, this time I became prosperous, made meritorious deeds, and became rich again."
The little ghost was itching uncontrollably. Maybe he noticed something, and he pointed at the temple in the ruins:
"Brother, they have cleaned up,"
Putting down the [Lizhou Supervision Order], Chu Chen stood up from meditation and his eyes fell on the ruins of the temple.
Just now, he exerted all his strength on [Heavenly Marrow Divine Weapon Technique], gathered the power of nearly ten thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, and mobilized his magic power with all his strength. [Heavenly Marrow God King] slashed out a second-grade sword, and the mana essence in his body was consumed. It was a bit old and he had recovered from meditation. However, his troops did not stop and went deep into the Demon Sheep Palace to clean up the battlefield.
While Chu Chen was meditating, his troops swept through the Wushen Palace and flew up into the clouds.
Three thousand soldiers and horses carried boxes of various sizes and returned fully loaded.
Among them, there are treasures such as heaven and earth treasures, jade coins, magic weapons, witchcraft weapons, etc., as well as essences, souls, demons and evil elixirs, etc., piled up into mountains, and the scene is quite spectacular.
Under normal circumstances, the belongings of evil spirits and heretics need to be handed over to the Immortal Court for unified processing and are not allowed to be kept privately. However, in order to encourage high-level cultivators to slay demons and eliminate demons, the Celestial Immortal Court can accept the ordinary treasures captured by themselves and use them as trophies.
Chu Chen and his generals made a rough calculation and found that these treasures were worth at least 20 million jade coins.
"Developed!"
Chu Chen was quite happy.
Although he was funded by Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses he recruited did not cost any money, and he still had hundreds of millions of jade coins on hand, it was very expensive to support an army of 100,000 people, and it was a big profit for him, which put him under pressure. A lot smaller and relaxed all over.
Of course, in addition to the captured trophies, it was a great achievement to kill the Demon Sheep Witch God with his sword, cut down the mountain and destroy the temple, and kill the true spirit clone of Li Tian Witch God.
Immediately, Chu Chen felt expectant, his spiritual consciousness sank in, and he looked inside the inner temple.
Merit: nine thousand three hundred and ten.
Gained two hundred merit points in one breath
"Witch God Li Tian has really done evil things and his sins are serious."
Chu Chen took a deep breath, sighed, and continued to sink in.
Not long after, golden light bloomed in the bright hall of the Heart Temple, and as expected, another magical power manifested itself.
[Achievements: nine thousand three hundred and ten]
[Dharma: Use General Zhu Lie to summon the Dharma]
[Sacred Talisman: Use the Tongmu General Zhu Liefu]
[Heaven’s heart is righteous, assisting in righteousness and eliminating evil. Help those who are in danger and help those who are in need, save life and death. Relieve disasters and serve the country and the people. Pray for gratitude, ask for rain to cause thunder, and ask for sunshine to stop the water. Take control of the three realms and return evil spirits to their rightful place. Reward the good and punish the evil, and record the merits and demerits. Chasing and driving, catching and shackles, making decisions about whether to stay or go. There are thirty-six generals in the Heavenly Heart of the Shangqing Dynasty to lead the army, two generals, and 12,000 troops. Retribution is manifested, and sincere understanding is given.]
[Practice Condition 1: Tianxin Authentic Sect]
[Practice condition 2: Five thousand meritorious deeds]
"It's actually Tianxin's method of summoning generals again!"
Chu Chen was quite pleasantly surprised when he saw the magical power displayed in the Heart Temple.
This Tianxin military and horse magical power is extremely easy to use. The reason why he was able to kill the clone of Litian Witch God so smoothly just now was indispensable to the Northern Emperor's secret instrument [Tianxin General Summoning System].
Summon [Tongtian Baoguang General Lei Ling], and he can lead another six thousand troops.
Now, if he learns the [Summoning Technique to Summon General Zhu Lie], he will not only have a third-grade divine general, but he will also be able to summon six thousand more soldiers and horses, reaching twelve thousand.
He has another three thousand elite magic bean soldiers under his command, bringing the total number of soldiers and horses with him to fifteen thousand.
The soldiers and horses in the urn have reached this level, even serious military monks would be amazed and envious.
Chu Chen was quite satisfied with his strength.
However, he did not stay here. After a thorough investigation and found no fish that had slipped through the net, he left the place.
Hundreds of miles away.
"Erlang~How is the situation?"
Dai Yan noticed that Chu Chen was coming, and immediately flew over from the mountain with Xiao Yun to join him, feeling a little worried in her heart:
"Did you kill Li Tian Witch God?"
"Beheaded, there's no need to worry. I have the [Relief of Disaster] Talisman on my body. If something happens, fellow Taoist Bailu will be in charge of you, so there's no need to worry."
Chu Chen explained casually, then his eyes fell on Xiaoyun and said softly:
"Xiaoyun, you can practice with me from now on!"
"Hmm~"
Xiaoyun nodded heavily, with a rather excited expression. Without saying a word, he knelt down with a thud:
"Disciple pays homage to master!"
When Chu Chen and Dai Yan saw this, their expressions were quite strange.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no problem at all. With Chu Chen's current Taoist cultivation level, it would be more than enough to accept Xiaoyun, who only had an eighth-grade Taoist cultivation level, as his disciple. It would be a blessing for the wild young man.
However, the problem is that Xiaoyun is extraordinary. He is the reincarnation of Mr. Qingyun, and the two parties have dealt with him back then.
Now that Xiaoyun is becoming a disciple, the two of them always feel a little weird.
"Forget it! I will accept you, and from now on, you will be my third disciple!"
Chu Chen shook his head and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. He did not keep Xiaoyun waiting for long and let his young heart be hurt for the second time.
After all, Mr. Qingyun Su Hui will not be able to awaken for a while.
Moreover, my husband’s Taoist cultivation in his previous life was too high, and he awakened to Suhui too early. It would be of no benefit to him to have to re-cultivate his life and follow the old path again, and his rebirth would be in vain.
Judge Cui asked him to protect the reincarnation of Mr. Qingyun. In a sense, he asked him to accept Mr. Qingyun as his disciple, guide his practice, and form a good relationship.
"Thank you Master!"
Xiaoyun was overjoyed and looked at his master with eyes full of admiration:
"Master, I want to learn the magical power of flying swords in the future."
"Okay! Master will teach you later."
The group did not stay outside for long, Chu Chen took Xiaoyun and rushed straight to Lizhou City.
Originally, Chu Chen accepted a disciple, and it was logical that he would go to Yunzhou to find his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, as soon as possible and let Xiaoyun formally join Lingshan. However, the current situation was special.
Chu Chen killed the true spirit clone of Litian Witch God and was in trouble. He had to find the White Deer Immortal as soon as possible to prevent the Witch God from taking revenge.
After about half a stick of incense, everyone took charge of the courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the Du Guan compound, before Chu Chen could say anything, he heard the anxious voice of the kid next to his ears:
"Senior brother, something is wrong, something is wrong. The calamity energy above your head is rising crazily, and there is a possibility of a catastrophic disaster."
Chu Chen slowed down his steps and looked a little unnatural.
These several meanings.
