Once upon a time, there was an eighth-level official position of Master and Deputy Master of the Punishment Hall placed in front of Wu Juan. Wu Juan did not cherish it. He waited until he lost Wu Juan...
I don’t regret it too much either.
The higher the position, the more things you have to do. If you do the errands of a fifth-level official, don't you get the same salary?
The young master thought so optimistically, swaying the folding fan gently in his hand, and followed the two female fairies to an elegant 'loft area'.
Xue Kailong, the son of the Xue family, was also following behind.
It's not that he wanted to be hit, it was simply because these two female fairies were responsible for settling the two of them, and one of them was supposed to guide the other, but they invariably entertained Wu Huanzi.
When they arrived at a three-story attic with exquisite decoration...
"Inspector Wuwu, this is the residence arranged for you by the master of the pavilion.
Look at the left side. This is the place where our pavilion master usually retreats to practice. Behind is the Yanwu Hall, not far in front is the Xianfan Hall, and not far on the right is the side hall where the patrolling immortal soldiers rest when they alternate.
Do you need a maid? "
Wu Wang tapped the paper fan on Lin Suqing's shoulder, and Lin Suqing immediately said:
"There is no need for a maid. I have always taken care of my young master. Thank you to the two fairies for guiding you. Please accept the small gift."
Lin Suqing took two boxes of powder that Wu Wang had obtained from the Women's Kingdom, pushed them back and forth with the two fairies, and still gave away the gifts.
The powder given to them was naturally two grades lower than the powder given to Senior Sister Jingyue.
Xue Kailong, who was watching from behind, and a certain fierce god who was looking at this place through Xue Kailong's Nascent Soul, both gritted their teeth secretly when they saw this.
The human realm is really too corrupt!
In this human realm, how could their heavenly palace not suppress it?
Wu smiled and said: "We will arrange our own accommodation. Don't keep Mr. Xue waiting for too long."
The two female fairies responded softly and politely led the fairy soldier Xue Kailong away;
When the latter left, he smiled and nodded to Wu Wu, and did not seem to be unhappy in any way.
Um?
This guy was taught a lesson by Brother Lin. Has he changed so much?
Wu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at Xue Kailong's back for a while, but didn't feel anything strange.
"Moving to a new home!"
Following Mu Daxian's cheers, Lin Suqing pushed open the wooden door in front of her, and a fresh fragrance hit her face.
Regardless of how the second and third floors of the attic are arranged, just from the layout of the transparent hall in front of you, you can see that Renhuang Pavilion has put a lot of thought into it.
There is nothing blocking the view in the entire hall on the first floor. Bookcases, desks, soft couches, and rocking chairs are placed in the four corners.
The wall on the left is a fan-shaped empty window, outside which you can see a few green bamboos swaying in the wind;
On the right wall is a hollow flower-and-bird window, and a shallow lotus pond can be seen outside.
It's a beautiful day with a gentle breeze, and the blanket on the ground is embroidered with elegant orchids, making the place in the middle not look empty.
Just stepping into this place makes me feel much more comfortable.
"Great Elder, it seems we have to spend some time here," Wu Wang said, "You will practice on the third floor, and let Su Qing and Mu Daxian live on the second floor."
The Great Elder hurriedly said: "Sect Master, I am just here to protect you."
"Even in Renhuang Pavilion, there are no rules for extraordinary masters to guard outside the door."
Wu laughed and said:
"The Great Elder will stay here for the time being. I will see how Pavilion Master Liu arranges it later. If Master Liu allows me to stay here longer, the sect will still need the Great Elder to take care of me."
The First Elder glanced at Lin Suqing and said: "I should not live with the sect master. The sect leader has female relatives as companions. You should pay more attention to it, so as not to make Renhuang Pavilion laugh at us monks who destroy the sect for not knowing the rules."
Wu Wang:......
Why does such a simple thing have to be so complicated?
The great elder insisted on moving out, so Wu Wan went to the Xianfan Palace again and arranged a similar residence for the great elder.
After all this tossing, by the time the four of them took a rest, night had fallen.
Wu Wan spread his spiritual consciousness and observed the environment of the main hall of Renhuang Pavilion. A small half of the area was covered by formations, and some of the main halls and attics could not be viewed with his spiritual consciousness.
There are many immortal soldiers stationed outside the main pavilion, which can be regarded as the standing guard force here.
Occasionally, I can sense the fluctuations of the Dao Dao in the universe here. It should be some Transcendent Realm master showing his aura.
Generally speaking, although there are spies mixed into Renhuang Pavilion, the general environment is relatively safe, and you can practice peace of mind while living here.
Before Wu Wan could sit on the soft couch to warm up, his spiritual sense caught the figure of a certain pavilion master sneaking towards him.
"Su Qing, bring me a basin and get some hot water!"
"Why!"
Lin Suqing agreed and hummed a tune from the second floor.
After a while, Pavilion Master Liu Bairen arrived outside the three-story building. Before he could open his mouth, Lin Suqing's call came from inside the door:
"Is it Pavilion Master Liu?
My young master is soaking his feet. After soaking his feet, he has to push his back. Please wait for a while before entering. "
Liu Bairen's broad forehead was suddenly covered with black lines.
How dare this guy!
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wu Wan's laughter came from inside: "Su Qing, please open the door. It's just a joke with the Pavilion Master."
"Hey," Lin Suqing agreed, opened the wooden door, bowed to Pavilion Master Liu, and then stepped aside.
Liu Bairen entered the attic with a dark face, and with a wave of his hand, he wrapped the entire small building in Daoyun, glaring at Wu Wan who was still stirring the water with his feet.
Wu smiled and said, "Look, I'm busy right now and can't stand up to greet you."
Liu Bairen walked forward with his hands behind his back, sat down next to the soft couch, squinted his eyes and smiled, and said: "Want to use this method to annoy this pavilion master and make me blast you away?"
"How could it be?" Wu Wan's face was quite serious, "Since I have come to Renhuang Pavilion, I will not leave until I get the power of the Fierce God. Have you said hello to me, senior? One percent per year."
"Ah, yes," Liu Bairen said calmly, "I will give you 10% of your current total divine power in one year."
Wu Wan was not shocked at all by this, but was secretly relieved.
It's just [10% of the current total divine power], and I can probably take away 80% of it in fifteen years; I thought they would dissect the body of the fierce god and give him 10% of a certain piece every year.
But when negotiating prices in business, one must hide the bottom line. Wu Wan still showed some dissatisfaction.
"Is this how the Pavilion Master gave me 10%? I really can't believe what the old man said!"
"Hey, I don't dare to say that," Pavilion Master Liu said hurriedly, "Your Majesty just didn't tell you in too much detail at that time. This Pavilion Master made some additions as appropriate."
"snort!"
Wu Wan turned his head and looked aside, with a bit of anger on his face.
"That's it," Pavilion Master Liu said with a smile, "As long as you do three things for me, Wuwu, and do these three things well, no matter what the year is, the fierce god... I will give it to you directly!"
Wu Wan said quietly: "These three things shouldn't be the eradication of the Ten Evil Palaces, the reform of the Renhuang Pavilion, and the reform of the military system in the human domain."
"Eh?"
Pavilion Master Liu's eyes lit up:
"You really have a broader vision than this Pavilion Master. The three things I have prepared for you are to catch all the spies in the Renhuang Pavilion, eradicate the Ten Evil Palaces, and receive my palm from the front.
Since you took the initiative, prepare a reform plan to open my eyes!
As for such a major matter as changing the military system, I cannot make the decision. "
Wu Wang:......
"forget it."
"No," Liu Bairen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Tomorrow you can start investigating the murder of the eight spies in the dungeon. This incident is a good starting point."
Wu Wan pondered for a few times and then asked: "What's going on with that Xue Kailong? The Xue family is also a gatekeeper and a powerful force. Why are they arranged to guard the gate like this?"
"His father wrote a letter asking us to embarrass this boy and let him return home as soon as possible."
Liu Bairen smiled and said:
"Generally speaking, the disciples of generals go to Sihai Pavilion, so that they can travel openly and openly in the wilderness. Very few people come to Renhuang Pavilion.
The affairs of Renhuang Pavilion are boring and complicated, and few people will take the initiative to work here. The only advantage is to deliver His Majesty the Emperor's orders as soon as possible.
This Xue Kailong, I don’t know what is wrong. He has been making trouble at home for several months. He insists on coming to Renhuang Pavilion to do an errand in order to make some contribution to the human domain. This pavilion master cannot turn him away. . "
Wu Wan looked stunned and said with a smile: "So you arranged for him to guard the gate?"
"Of course," Liu Bairen touched his multiple chins, "I have vaguely heard someone mentioned that you and this Xue Kailong have a quarrel?"
"It's not a big deal."
Wu Wang calmly dismissed the topic and said seriously: "Regarding the dungeon tragedy, did the Pavilion Master find any doubts?"
"There are doubts, but there are some."
Liu Bairen pondered for a moment and told Wu Wang in detail all the clues that Renhuang Pavilion had, and he finished it in two or three sentences.
"These are the clues?"
"It's basically the same as having no clues."
Liu Bairen smiled bitterly and said: "Sihai Pavilion can find dozens of spies. I am afraid there are four hundred here, but there is really no way to do this."
Wu Wan touched his chin and groaned softly. He gently moved his big feet in the basin and began to think about the case.
The tightly guarded dungeon, the eight true immortals and heavenly immortals whose souls were banned, the formations had not been destroyed, and the nearby extraordinary masters had not been alerted...
A wild version of secret room murder?
Wu Wang said: "Pavilion Master, please bring all the relevant people to me tomorrow."
"Hey, are you a layman?"
Liu Bairen smiled and said: "Go directly to the Punishment Hall, where there are special arrangements for trial cases. This is your cultivation residence, how can you let others enter casually.
One thing, Wuwu, you should pay more attention to. "
"What?"
"For your own safety, I have arranged for you to live here because I don't want anything to happen to you, otherwise Your Majesty will have to pull my head off."
Liu Bairen said seriously:
"His Majesty has also warned you that you have another hope for the human realm. I also hope that you will cherish your life and not take risks easily. The human realm does not lack one or two masters of the Celestial Realm.
Also, Your Majesty asked me to teach you how to cultivate your body, and I will also train you while you are dealing with these matters.
Don't lose to your fellow countryman! "
Wu Wang shrugged and said with a smile: "Brother Xingtian is unparalleled in battle. It's enough for me to come up with ideas."
"Okay, you rest now and we'll be busy with these things tomorrow."
Liu Bairen took out two jade cards and put them in Wu Wang's hands.
One side of the jade plaque depicts Liu Bairen's face, which is as real as his face; the other side has the word "soldier" written on it, which should be used to mobilize the immortal soldiers around Renhuang Pavilion.
"Would you like me, the Pavilion Master, to give you a push on your back?"
"That's not necessary," Wu said with a smile, "I still like Su Qing's strength."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
Liu Bairen laughed and left, while Lin Suqian curled his lips.
I didn’t see my young master before, so I didn’t have any tea!
…
In the dead of night, there is a neat row of small wooden houses on the outside of the top of the mountain where the main pavilion of Renhuang Pavilion is located.
Xue Kailong was lying on the wooden bed with his arms pillowed on his head. He thought of the exquisite attic he had seen before and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
He must impress everyone!
A sneer flashed across his mouth, eerie and cold, not like ordinary people.
…
Early the next morning.
In the compartment on the highest floor of the attic, Wu Wang woke up from a state of meditation and enlightenment. After going to the screen, he changed into a majestic black robe and spent a long time tinkering with his hairstyle in front of the mirror.
Until Lin Suqing whispered from outside: "Master, the deacon of the Punishment Hall is here to pick you up."
Wu Wan then walked out of his room.
Lin Suqing couldn't help but be startled when she saw today's young master. She felt that he had red lips and white teeth, a slender figure, a slightly square face, and a handsome face, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was so charming.
The basic nature of food and color is the same for men and women.
She said: "Master, do you want me to accompany you today?"
"The only thing you need to practice well is not to be separated from Great Immortal Mu," Wu Wan warned, "If I don't come back, don't talk to anyone."
Lin Suqing said: "Don't worry, young master. I know that the Renhuang Pavilion is not yet stable."
Wu Wan opened the folding fan and shook it slightly, muttering to himself: "Today's game may not be easy to solve."
"Come on, Master!"
Lin Suqing was there to encourage and encourage Wu Wan, but for no reason... he lost a bit of confidence.
The so-called punishment hall is actually used by Renhuang Pavilion to punish the immortals who have made mistakes within the palace. It is not intended to resolve unjust, false and wrongful cases in the human realm.
The human domain is too vast, and the relationship between immortals and mortals is too complicated. Renhuang Pavilion cannot control it, so it can only set the tone from a large perspective and restrict the behavior of immortals.
When Wu Wan arrived at the Punishment Hall, dozens of figures were already standing inside, and there were two Transcendent Realm masters sitting on one side.
The layout here looks like the 'yamen' in Wu Wang's impression.
Outside the hall, there is a row of white jade pillars wrapped with thunder, each wrapped with chains as thick as a thigh.
In the hall, there are two rows of immortal soldiers standing on the left and right, with a wide chair in the middle. Behind the wide chair is a screen with pictures of ferocious beasts;
Compared with the 'yamen', this place lacks a long table and a gavel.
"Sir, please take a seat."
The house deacon who led Wu Juan to this place took Wu Juan to the wide chair and bowed to invite him.
Wu Huan nodded, sat upright in the wide chair, put away the folding fan in his hand, and glanced ahead, scanning the faces of this group of immortals whose cultivation realm was generally much higher than his own.
"I am the Inspector of the Cabinet. I just took office yesterday."
Wu Wan had a cold face and said loudly:
"You can also understand that I was invited by Pavilion Master Liu to handle this matter, and this status is just for convenience.
Who among you was the first to discover that the eight Sin Immortals died tragically? "
An immortal soldier stood up, cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said loudly: "Sir, I am the first one I have seen!"
"oh?"
Wu Wan picked up his tone and said, "Tell me in detail, don't miss any details."
The immortal soldier said: "My subordinates were on duty in the dungeon with several Pao Ze, and they inspected every half an hour. When they inspected the dungeon, they saw that the eight people inside were not meditating, but were staggering around and looking forward carefully. But he has lost his breath..."
Starting from this immortal soldier, dozens of people here talked about what they saw that day.
Even the two extraordinary ones said carefully that they did not feel any masters sneaking into the dungeon.
Several months had passed, and this was not the first time they had said these things; but just like the previous inquiries, Wu Wan had no clue.
Someone else presented a photographic orb, which recorded the tragic deaths of eight immortals including Master Lianying.
Another deacon brought the eight ordinary poison-quenching silver needles...
Wu Huan thought about it carefully for a while and felt a headache. He couldn't explain it for a while.
There were many figures gathered outside the Punishment Hall, and there were also many immortals exploring the place.
But if there is no way, there is another way.
Wu Wan glanced at the crystal ball in his sleeve, wondering what kind of excuse he should give to take it out in a reasonable way and use the Star Praying Technique to test the souls of these people.
Suddenly I heard a cry from the palace gate:
"My Lord Inspector, my subordinates have ways to find out about this matter."
The immortal soldier who came forward was none other than Xue Kailong.
