Qingtang Guoshi, who is suspected to be the 'See You Tomorrow' monk, has returned to the royal city?
This news made Qin Shaoyou's expression become solemn instantly.
He put down the ghost bone he was about to brush with sauce and asked: "When did he come back? What did he do after he came back?"
Zhu Xiucai shook his head: "Qingtang Imperial Master was discovered by people from the Internal Guards this morning on the official road fifty miles west of the royal city. At this time, his motorcade should have just been welcomed back to the royal city. I haven't heard of anything yet.
Follow-up actions.”
"Send someone to keep an eye on it secretly."
After Qin Shaoyou thought about it briefly, he made arrangements.
"As soon as this national master comes back, the old King Qingtang will start a new round of rebirth. Haibulu has already run away, and he can only use his other sons as targets for the body seizure. According to the clues we have obtained,
And the inferred results are that his sons are not very compatible with him, and it is easy for problems to arise during the process of seizing the body, and that is our chance to get rid of him."
Old Qingtang King is not only cunning, but also ruthless. Once he succeeds in seizing the body, and then gets together with the Black Lotus Sect, it will definitely cause disaster!
Qin Qiaoer responded: "Don't worry, as soon as we received the news, we asked Daoist Cui and Daoist Qiu to release their paper men and Gu insects, and set up surveillance eyes in the royal city. Daoist Cui didn't come over.
It’s because he is busy controlling the paper man and has no time to distract himself.”
Qin Shaoyou was relieved.
With his elder sister here, he can consider everything very carefully, which makes him worry less.
Of course, he did not forget to warn: "Brother Cui and Brother Qiu, please be careful. If Qingtang Guoshi is really the 'see you tomorrow' monk, then he is not only powerful and discerning, but also very cunning.
Don’t let him figure it out.”
Zhu Xiucai accepted the order and flattered him: "Your Excellency, you are still thoughtful. I will remind Lao Dao and Qiu Dao Zhang to be careful."
Qin Shaoyou nodded, and then asked: "Besides the return of the imperial master to the royal city, has anything else happened in the past two days?"
It's true, but it's good news.
Qin Qiaoer said: "My teacher took the masters of the Red Envoy and secretly rushed to the Qingtang King's City. Under our cover, they were secretly setting up a network inside and outside the city to set up a new intelligence network. In addition, Bai Qingjiang Shui Bo and Cai Guizhong
The city gods also rushed to Qingtang Royal City..."
Qin Shaoyou was shocked: "I really only stayed in seclusion for two days, not two months?"
Why did so many things happen all at once in these two days?
More things happened than in the previous ten days and a half?
Fortunately, what Qin Qiaoer said is good news.
Although Qingtang Imperial Master arrived at the royal city, reinforcements from his side also arrived.
With Qi Longfei, Bai Qingjiang Shuibo and Wei Tu, these three demigod masters, if they want to cause trouble in the old Qingtang King's ritual of seizing his body and rebirth, the success rate will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Qin Shaoyou thought that there was still a task to be entrusted to Bai Qingjiang Shuibo, so he asked: "Where is my brother?"
After a pause, he said again: "Lao Cai is here too? I didn't call him this time."
"Afraid of arousing suspicion among the people in Zhuangzi, Baiqingjiang Shuibo did not change into a human form, but hid in the river that crosses Zhuangzi. As for Lao Cai, although you did not send anyone to call him,
But he knew you needed help through your last recruitment of underworld soldiers, so he rushed over."
Zhu Xiucai narrated the situation to Qin Shaoyou and said with a smile: "Don't you know, sir? Uncle Bai Qingjiang Shui and Lao Cai have both been promoted! We have to find an opportunity to treat them."
"Promotion?"
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
"You mean, the imperial court's edict to them?"
"That's right." Zhu Xiucai nodded with a smile.
Qin Qiaoer took over the conversation and introduced it to Qin Shaoyou: "The Baiqingjiang Shuibo was granted the title of Yizhou Water God by the imperial court and was in charge of the large and small rivers in Yizhou. As for Cai Guizhong City God, he was also promoted to the title of County God from Mianyuan County.
The capital city god of Yizhou."
There are several levels of City God.
Like Cai Guizhong in the past, he was just a county god and was in charge of a county.
It is only because there is a shortage of immortals and gods in the world today, and there are no city gods in many places, that he can borrow the authority of city gods elsewhere to take over the duties of city gods elsewhere.
For example, in Qingtang Guard, Cai Guizhong used this method to temporarily take over the position of City God of Qingtang Guard.
The city gods in places like Qingtangwei and Luocheng are the city gods of the prefecture. They are in charge of one city and one city, which is one level higher than the county city gods Cai Guizhong had before.
Further up, Cai Guizhong is now granted the title of Capital God, who can take charge of a state.
To put it simply, they are the city god’s version of county magistrate, mayor, and senior officials.
Cai Guizhong was promoted from county magistrate to senior official this time, and Bai Qingjiang Shui Bo was almost the same.
I just don’t know whether the imperial edict of the Xia Kingdom can be recognized by heaven and earth?
But no matter what, this was a generous reward. It also made Qin Shaoyou frown slightly, feeling that the imperial edict given to Bai Qingjiang Shuibo and Cai Guizhong was a bit too much.
Even if there is a lack of immortals in the world today, it would not be possible for these two people to suddenly rise from the gods of a river and the gods of a county to the water gods and city gods in charge of a state, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou pondered and said: "I'm afraid the imperial court promoted my brother and Lao Cai not just because of their meritorious service in Qingtang Guard? Isn't it possible that there are other plans?"
Zhu Xiucai replied: "I don't know about this, but I asked Lao Cai, and he said that the official who sent him the appointment document passed an oral instruction from Emperor Jianwu and asked him to come to Beijing before the ceremony.
It's said that Emperor Jianwu wanted to see him, the 'living' City God. I haven't asked Baiqingjiang Shuibo yet, but he should have received the same order."
"Will the Dharma Ceremony be held again? When?" Qin Shaoyou asked with a frown.
"It's November 11th," Zhu Xiucai replied.
"double eleven?"
Qin Shaoyou clicked his tongue in surprise.
Emperor Jianwu set the date of the Dharma Ceremony on this day. Could it be that he wanted to make a big purchase? But what did he want to purchase?
Qin Shaoyou pondered deeply.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this ceremony was not as simple as it seemed. Unfortunately, the lack of clues prevented him from guessing what Emperor Jianwu wanted to do.
"It's still a long time before Double Eleven. Let's not think about these things for now and settle the things in front of us first."
Qin Shaoyou quickly put away his distracting thoughts, put on a human skin mask, transformed back into the appearance of Dazan, and prepared to go to Uncle Bai Qingjiang Shui.
No, he should be called Yizhou Water God now.
Speaking of which, Qin Shaoyou has known his brother for so long that he doesn’t even know the name of the former Baiqingjiang Shuibo and the current Yizhou Water God...
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou felt a little embarrassed, but he still wanted to see the other party because he had something to ask him to do.
Since Cai Guizhong is also here, it just so happens that the two of them do it together.
Qin Shaoyou quickly wrapped the ghost bones in the demon sauce and marinated them in a pot. He also sprinkled some Yin vinegar on the demon blood that had begun to solidify, and called Qiurong to help him keep an eye on the two ingredients before preparing to go to the kitchen.
Go outside.
As he walked, he asked: "By the way, Xiucai, have you prepared the 'evidence' of the incident in the Wild Burial Valley in the past two days?"
"Ready."
Zhu Xiucai chuckled and said with a bit of credit: "Old Li and I have worked hard to produce these 'evidences', and I guarantee that we will satisfy the old King Qingtang."
"very good."
After Qin Shaoyou praised him, he said seriously: "Go and get the 'evidence'. I will go to see the old King Qingtang later and find out the details of the national master and see if he is a 'meet you tomorrow' monk. By the way,
Please tell me about your experiences in the past two days, and don’t reveal your secrets..."
