"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Sun Changsheng kowtowed happily. After thanking him, he looked around and consciously went to the bottom of the hall. In front of him was an official in green robe, who turned around and smiled.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Sun Changsheng was slightly startled, not understanding what this guy meant, and politely replied: "My lord, may I ask who you are?"
"It's exactly the same as it was a thousand years ago."
The green-robed official said: "I am supervising the censor, I wish you immortality, and you don't have to be polite, fellow Taoist Sun."
Sun Changsheng calmed down from his joy, thought for a moment, and instantly understood why he could suddenly become an official. It seemed that the gods in heaven regarded him as the reincarnation of a "celestial master".
"Celestial Master, isn't that the master that Brother Niu often talks about? I have time to wait, and I need to talk to Brother Niu about this."
After returning from overseas practice, Sun Changsheng often went to Qingyun Mountain to feast with scalpers. He had read "The Biography of the Heavenly Master" and was familiar with the legendary founder of Heaven.
With his mind spinning, Sun Changsheng and Zhu Xian said, "Master Zhu, are you familiar with Pindao in your previous life?" "Of course."
Zhu Xian looked around and changed his voice to his spiritual consciousness: "Thousands of years ago, my Taoist friend stood here in his previous life, standing with his feet facing forward."
Sun Changsheng asked with a strange expression: "How come a thousand years have passed and my fellow Taoist has not been promoted?" "This is a bullshit official position like censor. It's already good for a poor Taoist to survive until now. How can he expect to be promoted?"
Zhu Xian said with a bitter face: "Back then, I saw that the imperial censor was independent of the six departments. He was a small-ranking official but could report higher up. It seemed that he was humble and powerful. As a result, he went to the secret fold three times and went to the heavenly prison three times!"
Sun Changsheng asked in surprise: "Why is this? Isn't the censor just a snitch?"
Zhu Xian shook his head and said: "There are so many big men in heaven, no matter how you secretly submit the memorial, as long as they make some calculations on a whim, they will know the content of the memorial before it is delivered to His Majesty."
Sun Changsheng suddenly realized that being an official in heaven was similar to but different from that of ordinary people, emphasizing weight over strength. "Then why don't fellow Taoists go to Liubu instead?"
Zhu Xian has been a royal censor for more than a thousand years and has been imprisoned three times. However, he is still ranked in the imperial court. He must have something special about him.
"After being released from prison for the third time, Pindao figured it out."
Zhu Xian chuckled and said: "I wrote the secret and did not hand it over to His Majesty, but instead activated the righteous gods involved. Not only will I not be hated by others, but I will also gain many benefits. Otherwise, how can I break through to become a god?"
"High, really high!"
Sun Changsheng gave a thumbs up and smacked his lips, realizing that being an official in heaven was easier said than done.
Zhu Xian said: "Fellow Taoist Sun, you don't have to learn Pindao. Your identity is here. Regardless of whether you awaken Su Hui or not, ninety percent of the righteous gods in the Lingxiao Palace will have to call you senior brother!"
"Big brother..."
Sun Changsheng shook his head slightly. He was familiar with the life of Tianshi, so he knew the origin of this title.
"Could it be that I am really the reincarnation of the Celestial Master? I've just never heard that the Celestial Master has an immortal body?"
The theory of reincarnation is mostly based on Buddhism, while Taoism believes in a happy life. However, Sun Changsheng was practicing overseas and asked his master if there was reincarnation in the world, and got a definite reply.
In the eyes of Sun Changsheng, the master is a true immortal from the upper world who has descended to the earth. The entire Dongsheng Divine Continent combined cannot compare with him.
"Besides, the immortals of the three religions will not admit their mistakes, and so many true gods in heaven will not admit their mistakes. This incident also explains why Brother Niu treats me like a brother!"
Sun Changsheng thought carefully and found that he might really be the reincarnation of the Celestial Master. The next court is approaching.
The Emperor of Heaven mentioned Sun Changsheng again: "Sun Aiqing, now that he has assumed the position of Heavenly Master, will reopen the Heavenly Master's Mansion and become my neighbor."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sun Changsheng bowed and said: "However, I haven't made any merits yet. How can I dare to be on par with His Majesty? How can I dare to stay in the Tianshi Mansion? For the time being, I am on duty in Tianlao. I will be promoted to the top grade and then move in in the future. It will not be considered as a disgrace to the name of Tianshi." .”
"Very good."
The Emperor of Heaven has a smile on his face, and his ministers are all like the Heavenly Master, so there is no need to worry about the displeasure of the Heavenly Court. What a pity! What a pity!
"The Heavenly Prison was put under the control of the Ministry of Punishment, and Bai Shilang led the Heavenly Master to take office. "I obey the decree! "
Bai Suixin bowed and accepted the order, then turned around and winked at Sun Changsheng.
Sun Changsheng nodded in response with a slight embarrassment, feeling completely numb in his heart. There were so many strangers and acquaintances in heaven, it was really too weird.
Down to court.
Take it with you
He followed Sun Changsheng to Tianlao, and he was familiar with the roads. After all, he had been a prison warden for hundreds of years.
"Senior Brother, when you go to the Heavenly Prison, you should go home. From top to bottom, there are all Pindao's subordinates." Sun Changsheng said: "Friend Bai, Pindao has not awakened Su Hui, so don't call me Senior Brother." ." "Okay, senior brother."
The Heavenly Prison is located on the western edge of the Heavenly Court, several miles away from the Lingxiao Palace. There are several training palaces on the ground, and prisoners are imprisoned underground.
The largest palace among them has a plaque with the word "Tianlao" hanging on the door. Entered the prison.
Hao Siyu, who is currently in office, is the true successor of Butian Sect. When he saw Bai Suixin, he called his master, as did the other school captains, scribes and other officials.
"This is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Master. Brother Pindao, you should also be called the Master!" Everyone hurriedly bowed again: "Greetings to Master Sun."
"No need to be polite."
Sun Changsheng has accepted the fact that the Heavenly Master is reincarnated. Whether you want it or not, when everyone thinks so, it doesn't mean the same!
Hao Siyu led the way and took Sun Changsheng to visit the Tianlao.
"There are eighteen levels of the Heavenly Prison from top to bottom. Compared with the eighteen levels of hell, those on top are less guilty and those on the bottom are more guilty. This is the list of prisoners currently held in the cell. Grandmaster, please take a look!"
Sun Changsheng hesitated and said, "Isn't this bad?"
Bai Suixin took the list and said, "What's wrong? The senior fellow in the prison is the oldest, so whatever you say will be done."
Hao Siyu said: "Master, you are in charge of the camp and are responsible for the detention and transfer of prisoners. You should read this list."
"Look over there."
Sun Changsheng took the list, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and said in surprise: "The Heavenly Prison imprisoned nearly one hundred thousand criminals?" "Dongsheng Shenzhou is vast and vast, with hundreds of millions of creatures. One hundred thousand criminals are really not many."
Bai Suixin said: "When my junior brother and I were in office, there were at most one million criminals, and the crimes were much more serious than now. They lined up to kill the Immortal Platform, and they couldn't finish them in ten years!"
Tianlao is different from ordinary people, with many formations and restrictions arranged.
In order to prevent the prisoner from confusing the jailer, no magic power, sound, or spiritual consciousness can be transmitted.
Standing outside the prison, you can see the prisoner's appearance and movements. The prisoner trapped in the prison cannot see any light and is completely sealed in a dark and chaotic cave.
After patrolling every floor, Sun Changsheng took office and moved into the management hall on the ground floor. "Build good relationships with your colleagues first!"
Sun Changsheng's cultivation reached the peak of Tianjun, and he quickly took over the affairs of the prison, and then set up a banquet in the palace to entertain his colleagues in the Tianlao.
Due to Sun Changsheng's seniority and high level of cultivation, his colleagues during the banquet could not show off their dignity and were careful about what they said and drank. "Don't call me master or ancestor. If you work together in Tianlao, then you can talk about friendship with mediocre people!"
The master ordered and everyone agreed.
After a few jars of spiritual wine, the atmosphere became lively.
When Sun Changsheng inquired about Tianlao affairs, everyone told them everything they knew, including many hidden rules.
Lieutenant Niu said: "The monk in the Nine-Level Prison couldn't bear the thunder punishment, so he secretly told me a place where the treasure was hidden, and he got thousands of spiritual stones for nothing."
"That's nothing for you!"
Hao Siyu said with a smile: "A few days ago, when I was making elixirs, I happened to be short of dragon liver to make medicine, so I cut it directly from the body of the evil dragon in the thirteenth floor of the prison. I accidentally cut too much, and I haven't eaten it yet. over!"
Every word you say to me almost treats the prisoners in prison as private property.
Ordinary monks have to earn whatever they need, but if officials in prison are short of money, they can directly ask for it from the prisoners.
Sun Changsheng wondered: "With such coercion and inducement, will those prisoners come back with revenge after they are released from prison?" "A fair deal, how to talk about coercion?"
Lieutenant Niu said: "For example, the monks on the ninth floor are subject to a hundred lightning strikes every day. However, the power of this spell is not up to us."
Secretary Chen next to him took over the conversation and said: "If the power is slightly increased, the Taoist's foundation will be destroyed. If the power is reduced, the punishment will be less painful!"
"I see!"
Sun Changsheng originally wanted to ask if he could ask for blood essence. Each of the 100,000 prisoners in Tianjian Prison would contribute a bowl, which would be a pool of blood.
The effect of watering the stone monkey with ordinary livestock will definitely not be as good as the blood essence of monks and monsters. It may be able to recover as soon as possible. "When you first come to Heaven, you should be more cautious and wait until you are familiar with the ways."
Since then.
Sun Changsheng inspects the cells every day and changes prisoners to prisons in accordance with the orders of the Ministry of Punishment.
Either be raised to prison or lowered to prison. The former lowers the punishment, while the latter increases the punishment.
There are also differences on the same floor. For example, there was an omission in the restriction of the heavenly prison formation somewhere. The prisoner was not imprisoned in a black hole in the void, but in an illusion of birds singing and fragrant flowers.
Officials from the Ministry of Works should be asked to repair it, and before repairs were made, it would be a chance for the prisoner to have a break.
Maybe it's because the sky prison formation is too complicated, or maybe it's because the prisoners are so powerful, but there are never any cells with problems.
This is also a good thing for the Ministry of Industry. They specially applied for a new divine position from His Majesty and specially repaired the formations for Tianlao. It was simply killing three birds with one stone!
"The knowledge of Tianlao is very deep!"
Sun Changsheng was astonished. He had seen various unspoken rules, and among them there was a righteous god who practiced the secret art of the blood path and purchased the prisoner's blood essence from the jailer.
During his spare time, he feasted with the God of Heaven.
There was a banquet every day, and the twelve righteous gods from above and below took turns inviting Sun Changsheng to drink. This one calls him senior brother, and that one calls him brother.
Sun Changsheng deeply understood how famous the Heavenly Master was back then, and he became more and more aware of the identity of the Heavenly Master's reincarnation.
one year later.
Finally finding some free time, Sun Changsheng left Heaven on a cloud and flew all the way to Qingyun Mountain. The head of the cloud landed in Moyun Cave. "Brother, I'm here."
The reason for the scalper's origin spread: "You are such a slutty monkey, you are living a happy life in heaven, and you think you have forgotten me."
Sun Changsheng stepped in and saw Yellow Ox burning incense to worship the Celestial Master's spirit tablet. He felt more and more weird and said helplessly: "Brother Niu should know that we have become the reincarnation of Celestial Master Lao Shizi for no reason."
"It is done."
Huang Niu inserted the spiritual incense into the incense burner and said: "Pindao also died once, and he lived well after being resurrected." Sun Changsheng asked doubtfully: "What if one day I regain the memory of my previous life?"
You can't recover!
The scalper complained in his heart. He knew that the Heavenly Master was not dead, so he consoled him outwardly: "In the eyes of the poor man, the Heavenly Master has already died. Even if he awakens to Su Hui, it is only a gift to you."
"You will still be you at that time, not the previous life!" "Remember big brother's teachings."
Sun Changsheng bowed and saluted, and the worry in his heart dissipated. He was afraid that the relationship with his eldest brother would change, so he returned to his usual playful smile and paced back and forth in the cave like a monkey.
"Brother, back then you guided me to find immortals, but did you know about reincarnation?"
The corner of Huang Niu's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly: "Maybe, I just feel that you are friendly, but I have never thought about it that deeply." Sun Changsheng asked again: "Does the elder brother know the identity of the master?"
"I don't know."
Huang Niu said: "That person's status is too noble, and the Heavenly Master was also guided by him back then, and he later became a god and a heaven."
"As expected!"
Sun Changsheng scratched his head and ears excitedly and said confidently.
"Master must be a true immortal in the upper realm. After I ascend to the upper realm, we will definitely meet again." He stayed at Qingyun Mountain for a day.
Sun Changsheng returned to heaven and entered the twelve-level prison that he had already targeted. He imprisoned a strange and ferocious beast and transmitted the message across the cell.
"Fellow Taoist, do you need any spiritual stones?"
The Tianlao formation prohibition, which isolates the spiritual energy according to the cultivation level, can only maintain the current cultivation level. If you want to increase the magic power, you need the help of spiritual stones.
....The words are divided into two parts. Xuanyuan Mountain.
Zhou Yi received the scalper's message and looked very strange. "When did Pindao reincarnate?"
Think carefully and guess what happened.
"It's probably a monk who has returned to the void. When he met Sun Changsheng, he saw the endless karma on his head and regarded him as a poor Taoist."
The reason why Zhou Yi cultivated in secret and did not dare to take back the Kunlun Cave was that he was afraid of encountering a return to the void by accident. No matter how exquisite the transformation technique was, the immeasurable karma on his head could not be shaken off.
"It's a pity that I don't have enough cultivation. If I saw the karma on Sun Changsheng's body, I wouldn't dare to teach him magical powers."
"The source of Pindao's karma is pure and pure, and he will not commit acts of catastrophe that will destroy the world. Sun Changsheng's karma comes from his previous life. I wonder which peerless demon was reincarnated?"
Zhou Yi was once the leader of the Three Religions, and he saw records of the Divine Continent in the Sutra Pavilion, which can be traced back to the last era.
There are many records of destruction in it
The demons that destroy the earth, such as the nearest Blood Demon, as well as the Heavenly Demon who caused the catastrophe last time, the Earthly Demon God who caused the catastrophe last time, and the Demon God who caused the catastrophe last time...
The world of immortal cultivation in Dongsheng Shenzhou is at its peak. Although the demonic way is declining, a peerless demon will appear every tens of thousands of years, as if it is destined by heaven.
"The devil from the last era will probably not return. The end of the world can erase his karma."
"The Blood Demon can live for thousands of years even if he is trapped under the Demon Suppression Tower, so it is most likely that he is the Demon of Heaven and the Demon of Earth..."
"Indestructible body, which devil's special skill is it?"
Zhou Yi thought about it and analyzed the famous demons in history one by one. In the end, none of them matched up with Sun Changsheng, and they were too different from the magical powers he had cultivated in his previous life.
"Forget it, no matter who it is, it has nothing to do with Pindao!"
"There are many true gods in heaven, and there are immortals from the three religions who are in charge, and mere gods cannot stir up any trouble."
In the eyes of ordinary monks, those who reach the realm of transformation into gods can live for two thousand years and can carry mountains and seas. They are already existences like immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons. However, in the eyes of the gods in heaven, they are just bigger ants who can easily be crushed to death if they dare to cause trouble.
"What's more, Sun Changsheng is on duty in the heaven, surrounded by all the gods. Even if he awakens the demon Su Hui, can he still turn the world upside down?"
No matter how Zhou Yi speculates, the advantage lies with Heaven.
