In front of the Gaogong Hall in the Immortal Courtyard, there was complete silence.
Everyone was looking for fame, and the person who spoke was none other than the current Immortal Heavenly Master Gu Tong Zhenren.
Although the current Celestial Master Gutong takes the position of Celestial Master after Master Yulou, speaking of it, his qualifications are much older than Master Yulou.
As early as Emperor Lingwei was in power, he became an official. He first entered the Presbytery, and then worshiped the chief elder of the Presbytery. He became one of the important ministers of the country and had overwhelming power in the Immortal Court.
Originally, with Master Gutong's qualifications and meritorious deeds, he would have been able to ascend to the rank of god long ago. However, since he was not in danger and could still serve for one term, he stayed and continued to occupy the position of "important minister of the country", and now he is on rotation.
Heavenly Master, his power is as high as the sun.
Master Gutong's reputation and connections in Immortal Court are far superior to Master Yulou. In addition, he comes from the top [Jade Emperor Temple] and has countless disciples, which is not comparable to that of Louguan Taoist.
There are many great sects of Taoism in the world.
However, there are only three top-level immortal sects that are truly unique.
You can get a glimpse of it from the names of the three sects. The origins of their sects are the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty, the Jade Emperor, and the Ziwei Emperor.
Among them, Sanqing Temple is the ancestral court of Sanqing in this world, and it is the holy place of the ancestral court of Taoism in this world. Broadly speaking, all sects in the world come from the same lineage of Sanqing.
The Sanqing Temple has a very honorable position in the Taoist sect of Dachang World, but there is no leader of the Sanqing lineage. Even within the "Sanqing Temple", each branch has its own branch. It has the status of the ancestral family, but there is no call for Sanqing disciples.
The authority is large and scattered.
In comparison, Jade Emperor Temple and Ziwei Palace are the real Taoist sects.
There is no other reason. The Jade Emperor is the Lord of the Three Realms, and the Ziwei Emperor is the sub-junior of the Three Realms. He has independent divine institutions such as the Four Prefectures and Six Ministries in Heaven.
After the birth of the system of unifying Taoist sects in the Dachang Dynasty, passing on teachings and teachings, and ascending to the status of gods based on meritorious deeds, two factions naturally formed within the Taoist sects of the Celestial Dynasty - the Jade Emperor Sect and the Beidi Sect.
The two families take turns taking the throne and are the leaders of the Taoist sect.
It is precisely because of this that Master Gutong has a very high prestige in the Immortal Court. He rejected Master Yulou's recommendation in public without showing any timidity. Seeing Mr. Mingjing's gaze, he looked calm, bent down slightly, and bowed his hands:
"Your Majesty, Fellow Daoist Chu is proficient in [Three Lights Divine Water], has no fear of witches and poisons, has cultivated his magic power, and has made rapid progress in Taoist and magical powers in the past two years. He is indeed a good candidate for the management of the Lizhou Ghost and God Department. However, he is too young and has a poor resume."
It's not deep enough. If he is promoted to the state capital, it may be difficult to convince the public!"
After saying this, many immortal court masters in the palace spoke one after another.
"Tianshi's words are reasonable. Lizhou is the southwest frontier and the situation is complicated. Taoist friend Chu is too young and has not enough experience. He has no long-term experience in governing a state. It is indeed difficult for him to be qualified."
"Hey, I can't say this much. Fellow Daoist Chu has quite good Taoist and magical powers. Over the years, he has had the opportunity to refine a super-grade method. His magic power has reached the middle stage of the third-grade. He also has several transformation magic weapons.
Considering that he has the conditions and strength to serve as governor of a state, it is not unreasonable for Taoist fellow Yulou to recommend him."
"This is not the land of the Nine Provinces in the Middle Earth. Even if trouble occurs, it will not be too big and difficult to deal with. Lizhou is different. It is related to the expansion of territory and the thousand-year plan of the Celestial Empire. Don't be careless. If something goes wrong,
, that’s a huge basket.”
"Fellow Daoist Chu has outstanding talents and his abilities are obvious to all. However, pushing him to the position of Lizhou Dudu was indeed too hasty. This is not the way to cultivate talents. It only encourages the development of young people."
"Yes, yes, this must not be done"
For a time, all the high-ranking elders of the Immortal Court in the hall were talking about it.
Some high-level practitioners belong to Gutong Zhenren's group. When they see Zhenzhen speak, they all open their mouths to show support and act like loudspeakers. Some are the type of people who are "difficult to convince the public" and the state capital will keep a close eye on them. Chu Chen's qualifications
Being low is a flaw. As soon as he gets ahead, it will naturally cause a backlash from all parties. Regardless of whether he can become the governor of Lizhou, he will muddy the water first.
Of course, there are also those who are purely neutral. Some are optimistic about Chu Chen, while others consider everything and are worried about the young Chu Chen, and so on.
However, generally speaking, the opposition to Chu Chen's appointment as governor was much louder, showing a one-sided trend.
Seeing this scene, neither Mr. Ming Jing nor Master Yulou's expressions changed. Perhaps they had guessed it a long time ago and were not surprised at all.
Master Gutong was quite satisfied, but he was not complacent just because he had surpassed Master Yulou and established his position as a rotating heavenly master, so he gave up as soon as he saw the opportunity.
The court is not all harmonious. There are factions and factions. This is normal.
However, the two sides do not fight against each other. When they cannot kill each other with a single blow, they often compromise with each other.
He refuted the recommendation of Master Yulou, so of course he had to give an explanation, so he held the Gonghut and bowed his hand:
"Fellow Taoist Yulou has a unique vision. After several years of cultivation, the foundation of Daoist Chu has been established. The important task entrusted to him is a matter of course. Pindao thinks that it is most appropriate to be transferred to a state supervisor. I wonder what Taoist Yulou thinks?"
Master Yulou looked at Mr. Mingjing secretly. Seeing that Mr. Mingjing remained calm, he understood in his heart and bowed his hand:
“What the ancient Taoist friends said makes sense.”
About two hours later, the high-ranking elders of the Fairy Court dismissed their banquet.
Imperial Garden.
Mr. Ming Jing sat upright, accompanied by two Taoists sitting on the left and right.
Needless to say, one of them is none other than Zhenren Yulou, and the other is called "Zhenwei Zhenren", who is the headmaster of [Ziwei Palace], one of the three sects of the Taoist sect, and one of the leaders of the Taoist sect.
Grand Elder of the Central Presbytery.
"Sir, Gu Tong has indeed extended his hand to the eight southwest states."
Master Yulou narrowed his eyes, his face full of meaningful expressions.
The Jade Emperor of the Three Realms and the Ziwei Emperor divide and rule the three realms. In the world of Dachang, the structure of the Celestial Court is almost the same. There are two major factions, the "Jade Emperor" and the "Ziwei". After you sing, I will take the stage.
The checks and balances between the two sides were not limited to the court, but the royal family was also divided into two factions.
Mr. Mingjing came to power thanks to the lineage of Ziwei Beidi, while the previous Emperor Lingwei belonged to the "Jade Emperor Sect". After Emperor Lingwei ascended to the throne, Gu Tong became the current leader of the Jade Emperor Sect and received the "Jade Emperor Sect".
The strong support of the Jade Emperor Sect”.
The "Jade Emperor Faction" is quite powerful, enough to check and balance Mr. Ming Jing and the "Ziwei Beidi Faction".
This is a delicate balance within the Celestial Court, to prevent one family from becoming dominant and allowing a certain emperor to take complete control of the situation and destroy the balance.
"It's because I don't know people well. I thought Qing Yuzi could guard the side well and stabilize the situation. I never expected that he would..."
Master Qingwei felt quite ashamed.
He recommends people. If Qing Yuzi died in the line of duty, there is nothing to say. He will recommend another person.
But the other party left his post without permission because he was seeking personal immortality, and entered the forbidden area of Xiao Wushan and died. That is different. If he enters the forbidden area without telling you, carrying a heavy burden, there will be great consequences. Although there is no trouble, it is because he knows people.
I don’t know, and it’s hard to recommend him right now, so I gave Gu Tong the opportunity in vain.
"Qingwei Taoist friends don't need to worry too much. The situation in Lizhou is complicated. If someone recommended by the ancient Taoist friends can manage Lizhou well, it will be a good thing."
Mr. Mirror shook his head and didn't pay much attention.
As the Supreme Being of Dachang, he holds great righteousness, is in the middle of the situation, yet is detached from the outside world, and always takes the initiative.
He wants to control the situation in order to govern the country well, rather than fighting for the sake of party fighting. He still has this tolerance.
“Let’s see what the ancient Taoist friends think of it.”
"Sir is wise."
Master Yulou smiled and said:
"Sir, today you asked Pindao to recommend Chu Chen to be the governor of the state. I am still puzzled, but now I have figured it out. You are retreating in order to advance. According to Taoist Chongxu, Taoist friend Chu has achieved magical powers.
With him in charge of Lizhou, there will be no control over it, and there will be no trouble."
After hearing this, Master Qingwei nodded repeatedly, echoed, and said with emotion:
"I have heard a little bit about this Taoist friend from Chu, but I have never had any dealings with him. Sir, Taoist friend Yulou appreciates him so much, which makes me curious. If I have a chance in the future, I must meet him."
Taoist Yulou smiled:
"That's good. I'll definitely have a chance in the future."
Mr. Ming Jing on the side saw the two of them talking to each other, shook his head, and sighed secretly.
In fact, he really intended to let Chu Chen take over the affairs of demons, demons and gods in Lizhou.
Others didn't know the details of Chu Chen, but he knew it very well.
When he encountered "Qing Yuzi" who was seized by the ancient demon god, Chu Chen was able to repel it. This in itself was a manifestation of his superior Taoist and magical powers. His true magical power was probably no better than that of the other eight southwest states, and even the Minister of Demons was weak.
, and maybe even better by three points.
The most important thing is that Chu Chen is also secretly in charge of the vanguard of the extraterrestrial demonic realm, and has a powerful intelligence network of the demonic realm. This is an advantage that other high-level immortals and third-level experts cannot match.
He was very confident when he handed Lizhou over to Chu Chen.
In his mind, Chu Chen is the most suitable candidate for the Lizhou Ghosts and Gods Division to be the governor of the state.
However, during the court discussion, all parties had too many opinions.
Given his status as the emperor, it would not be impossible for him to push Chu Chen to the throne despite all opinions.
It's just, it's not necessary.
Yunzhou Lingshan Sect, Qingchen Cave Mansion.
The external situation is changing, and all parties are discussing and asking around about the ownership of "Lizhou Duguan".
Most people are just watching the fun, and there are very few people who can be "candidates for state capital management".
As a person who was selected as a "candidate for the governorship of the state capital", Chu Chen seemed to be very calm and did not lose sight of food and drink because of the convening of the High Gong Elders' Meeting in the Imperial Capital Xianting.
On the contrary, after returning from the underworld of Fengdu, Chu Chen immediately went into retreat with Qingying, focusing on comprehending the [Hidden Dragon Divine Insect] together.
To be precise, the three of them went into retreat together.
Diyuan Longjun is also quite curious about the [Hidden Dragon Divine Insect]. Although he will not snatch the sacred object with his daughter, he is just like Chu Chen to observe the [Hidden Dragon Divine Insect]. If he can understand the "Hidden Dragon Divine Insect"
The magic of the dragon is of great benefit to the two of them in their practice.
Three days later, I had some enlightenment.
When Qingying saw Chu Chen, her father Youyou woke up, and she suddenly became curious:
"Erlang, father, how are you doing with your enlightenment? Have you gained anything?"
Chu Chen recalled it and said, "It was a great benefit!"
"Father, how about you?"
Di Yuan Longjun looked strange and blinked. He actually didn't realize anything. But after hearing what his son-in-law said, how could he, who had been so strong all his life, lose face in front of his daughter? He nodded immediately:
"I have also gained a lot!"
"Father, Erlang, you two are so powerful, but I am far behind."
Qingying exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeling quite depressed:
"For me, it is too difficult to understand the evolution of the hidden dragon into a true dragon just by relying on the [true form of the hidden dragon divine insect]."
Chu Chen smiled and said with relief:
"Ying'er, this opportunity of the Hidden Dragon Divine Insect is yours. If you are lax, you will naturally not be able to have a pure heart. To understand the true meaning in the dark, you don't need to worry too much. Just refine the Hidden Dragon and slowly comprehend it in the future.
The pile machine can't run away."
Earth Yuan Longjun nodded slightly and agreed:
"Erlang is right. You are not in the right state of mind. You cannot be like us. It is normal that you cannot comprehend anything. Now that we have achieved enlightenment, you can just refine the divine insect."
When Qingying saw her father and her husband said this, she felt less depressed and nodded repeatedly:
"Well, then I'll just refine the Hidden Dragon Divine Insect."
As she spoke, Qingying did not hesitate. She made a magic spell with her hand, and the fluorescent bug in her hand turned into a beam of light and escaped into her body.
The next moment, Qingying closed her eyes and concentrated, meditating into concentration.
Seeing this scene, Chu Chen and Di Yuan Longjun did not stay in the clean room for a long time, but with anticipation, they left one after another.
Of course, before leaving, Chu Chen left a "golden lotus seed" to help Qingying break through to the third level more smoothly.
This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Diyuan Longjun, making Lao Taishan quite satisfied.
After leaving the cave, Diyuan Longjun walked with Chu Chen.
"Erlang, my father can see that you and Ying'er have been having troubles in recent years."
Diyuan Longjun saw that Chu Chen was surprised and a little embarrassed. He smiled and patted Chu Chen on the shoulder:
"You don't want to speak, and my father won't press you. But you remember that Longling in Qingzhou is your home. If you are wronged outside and there is no way out, you go home."
Chu Chen was startled.
Because of the Qingchen Dongtian incident, he and Qingying had been under a lot of pressure in the past two years.
Master Xu Ping saw it, and he was not surprised. After all, he had been by his side for the past two years.
However, he never expected that his father-in-law, Long Jun, would also notice it.
"There's nothing wrong with us, you don't have to worry."
Chu Chen felt warm in his heart. It is not easy for men to be sentimental. Although he was quite touched, it was a bit pretentious to thank him. So, he thought of finding a reason to enhance the relationship between his father-in-law and his son-in-law, and immediately smiled and said:
"Father-in-law, we have just comprehended the [True Form of the Hidden Dragon Divine Insect], why not find a place to learn from each other, what do you think?"
Discuss?!
Diyuan Longjun's expression changed slightly, he really didn't understand anything just now.
Could it be that Chu Chen is not bragging, but has truly gained enlightenment?
"this"
Diyuan Longjun's expression was a little subtle, and his expression was even more embarrassing. Immediately, he shook his head:
"No, no, my father had a flash of inspiration and needs to retreat. Next time, next time."
After saying that, Diyuan Longjun was probably afraid that Chu Chen would leave him behind, so without saying a word, he used his great magical power and disappeared out of thin air.
This scene was just like when Di Yuan Longjun wanted to give Chu Chen some advice, but Chu Chen couldn't avoid it and ran away so fast.
Chu Chen was confused and secretly weird.
If you have a flash of inspiration, wouldn't it be better to discuss it with others, maybe your insights will become deeper.
Chu Chen shook his head, wondering in his heart.
However, he didn't think much about it and walked towards his pure practice room.
Just returned to the clean room outside the courtyard.
"Brother, you are back."
The little devil knew that Chu Chen was back, so he immediately flew out. When he saw Chu Chen, he exclaimed:
"Senior brother, something big has happened, your old tree has blossomed!"
