More than fifty years have passed since the last great sea crash.
The vice-president of the Immortals Association, Master Lingming, is sitting in the lobby of the official office on the beach of Tiansheng Island. The table in front of him is filled with various documents that need to be reviewed and processed. The number is enough to be the most practiced official in the world.
Members were also frightened by it.
But he didn't care. He divided his mind into three or four parts, read several documents at the same time, and made comments on each document with a pen in his hand.
This kind of work efficiency really puts those famous officials who are so called to solve thousands of cases every day to shame. However, neither the layman Lingming himself nor some of the assistant officers around him felt that there was anything wrong.
Skills come from practice. When they first started working, their efficiency was not so high. A group of Yin Shen Zhenren and even Dharma Masters were often dizzy with documents that had no combat effectiveness at all, and they wanted to run away. But over time, they gradually became dizzy.
Just got used to it...
In fact, there were not so many documents back then. Over the years, as the atmosphere in the entire Penglai Sea has gradually changed, conflicts have arisen among the monks, and they will resort to negotiation rather than fighting to solve problems. There are conflicts between sects and sects.
If there is a dispute, priority will be given to the Immortal Association to file a lawsuit... Things are increasing little by little, and before they know it, they have completed the gorgeous transformation from immortals to officials.
After being busy for most of the morning, I finally finished processing the daunting pile of documents. Only then did Master Lingming have time to raise his head, thank everyone for their hard work, and invite them to have lunch together.
Tiansheng Island is the core of the entire Penglai. It was originally a slightly remote island, because most of the presidents of the Immortal Association who ruled this island in the past generations did not like too many people to share their supreme glory. But the contemporary group
The president of the Immortal Society doesn't care about this issue at all. He spends at least 300 days out of the 360 days a year. Even if he comes back, he probably won't be able to stay for a few days. He never seems to feel the supreme glory or anything like that.
Yes, naturally there is no question of sharing or not sharing.
The biggest change this president has made to the Immortals Association is to add a lot of permanent institutions to better handle various matters among the monks. In his own words, it is called "increasing service content, improving service quality, and improving service quality."
Service efficiency”.
Yes, he used the word "service". In fact, there is a plaque written by him at the door of the official office of the Immortals Association, with five big words on it:
serve the people
When the official building was completed, the layman Lingming asked the president to write a plaque. He thought for a moment and then wrote these five words. But after the plaque was hung up, he stood below and looked left and right, muttering.
He said: "I always feel that there is a bit of Lao Hua's style. Could it be that he also has this plaque hanging at the entrance of Yuxiao Palace?"
Including the layman Lingming, no one knows who "Lao Hua" is, and no one knows where the "Jade Sky Palace" is, but they all think that the president's plaque is well written and expresses the meaning of the Immortals Association.
fundamental purpose
Why should an organization like the Immortal Society be established? Isn’t it just for the benefit of the monks and mortals in Penglai? Isn’t it just to help them mediate disputes and solve troubles?
In this case, what's wrong with serving the people?
Of course, some people don't understand this. During the tenure of the previous president, the Immortals Association was a high-ranking organization that ruled the entire Penglai. It was so powerful that everyone was frightened. Compared with the current modest and low-key style, many
The old people who stayed from the time of the previous president could not adapt to the change in status and left one after another.
Some have left, and naturally some have joined. Most of the people currently working in the official offices of the Immortals Association joined later.
Some of them admire the president's unparalleled power, some want to realize their own life value, and some want to get in touch with more masters to learn their skills... But more of them are discovered by the president's discerning talents and then recommended.
"This is not good." A certain president once said when he was having dinner with everyone, "We need to form a system - Lingming, what do you think of us holding a civil service examination? Recruiting Qunxianhui clerks from the entire Penglai...
…”
"How often do you do it?" Layman Lingming asked calmly while drinking soup.
"Once a year is too often, how about once every ten years?"
"Well, well." Layman Lingming continued to drink the soup calmly, "What is the test?"
"The first is to test social common sense, after all, we can't select idiots who don't even have common sense; then the practical test is to see if this person can do things; finally, the ideological debate is also tested to avoid recruiting dangerous elements...
"The president seemed very confident, and he had probably been thinking about it for a long time.
"As long as you invigilate the exam every time, I have no problem with it."
"Eh? Shouldn't you be the examiner? They mainly work under you." The president looked surprised.
Layman Lingming put the bowl heavily on the table with his backhand, and the soup splashed out, splashing the face of the strongest man in Penglai, and left without looking back: "I'm very busy, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
Speaking of which, although the contemporary president has great supernatural powers and boundless magic power, and even ten spiritual laymen may not be his opponent in a real fight, he is very approachable, and he will make some harmless little jokes from time to time, and he does not feel too much.
Majesty. Even some junior monks who have just joined the Immortals Association will often ask their seniors curiously: "That person who walked over with a smile and didn't look dignified at all, is he really the one who fought off the sea collapse with his own strength?"
President Feizi?”
Some people will feel embarrassed about this question, but more people will laugh in the same way.
The power of role models is infinite. Under the leadership of the president, the atmosphere of the entire Immortal Association has become more relaxed and lively, without any rigid and serious atmosphere.
Layman Lingming likes this kind of atmosphere very much. Although there is no dignity, it is extremely friendly. Monks are not officials, so being dignified is useless. Everyone is harmonious, so what's wrong with it?
Pushing open the door of the restaurant, there were not many diners in the empty hall. Layman Lingming glanced briefly and noticed the man in Tsing Yi sitting in the corner.
This man was wearing a blue robe that could be seen everywhere, with a wooden hairpin in his hair. He looked very ordinary, and no one who came and went would notice his existence.
But Layman Lingming saw him at a glance, and he also knew that the reason why no one paid attention to him was not because of his ordinary appearance, but because of his powerful magical powers.
How could the dignified president of the Immortals Association and the strongest expert in Penglai be ordinary? He just used his magical powers to cover up his presence so that others would not notice him.
As the vice-president of the Immortals Association, Master Lingming was protected by human luck. Many magical powers had no significant effect on him, so he was not affected and discovered him at first sight.
Walking straight to his side, layman Lingming pulled up a chair and sat down. He asked casually: "You're back from work? Did your trip go well?"
"Not bad." Wu Jie said with a smile, and took out a jade plaque and threw it on the table. "The Southeast Sea King is really good at hiding. He actually hid under an extremely deep mud. It took a lot of effort to find him.
.But he finally recognized his identity and handed over the Sea King Order before I could beat him."
Layman Lingming gently stroked the Sea King Ling and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
In the past countless years, the eight sea kings around Penglai have brought countless troubles to the mortals and monks in Penglai. Especially the great sea collapses caused countless deaths and injuries every time.
But since Zhi Feizi became the president of the Immortals Association, the situation has undergone a fundamental change. He has great supernatural powers, and the Sea Clan is no match for him. Moreover, he is ambitious and vows to overthrow the Suohai Continent that has trapped the entire Penglai.
Formation, to exchange this world for freedom, such an ambition is something that past presidents would never even dare to think of.
Wu Jie is not the kind of person who only talks but does not practice. Since he has made a great wish, he must fulfill it. In the past few decades, he has traveled all over the eight seas, found out the sea kings of the eight seas one by one, and captured them.
Order of the Sea King
The Sea King Token is a sacred object of the Sea Clan and a symbol of the Sea King. With the Sea King Token, you have the power to command a sea clan. You also have the qualifications to mobilize some of the power of the Sea Locking Formation.
In fact, these eight Sea King Tokens are the core of the entire sea-locking formation.
Jiang Zhenjun had already analyzed the structure of the entire sea-locking formation very clearly back then. As long as he found these eight formation eyes, then set up the formation around Tiansheng Peak, and used the eight Sea King Tokens as sacrifices, he could activate the entire sea-locking formation.
The power of Penglai Heaven and Earth overthrew the Sea Locking Formation in one fell swoop
Of course, this is an earth-shattering event that requires detailed planning and preparation. In the past few decades, Wu Jie has gone deep into the deep sea to find and arrest the Sea Kings hiding in the deepest parts of the ocean, and to seize their Sea King Orders, Ling Ming
The lay people were silently arranging supplies, and in the name of "renovating the official offices of the Immortals Association", they arranged formations around the Tiansheng Peak.
As of today, all eight Sea King Tokens have fallen into their hands. Although the formations have not yet been completed, they are almost there.
The shadow that has shrouded Penglai for countless years is about to completely dissipate.
The two people with the highest status in Penglai sat in an inconspicuous corner while eating and chatting. The strangely bright Sea King Ling lay quietly on the table in front of them, waiting for its final fate of destruction.
From this day on, Venerable Zhifei, the president of the Immortals Association, has been stationed on Tiansheng Island, preaching and arranging formations at the same time.
He publicly announced that he would set up a large formation that could break the blockade around Penglai and allow all monks to come and go freely. Although this was shocking, no one would doubt it considering his omnipotent achievements in the past.
The layout of the array progressed very quickly, and it was completed in just a few years.
On the day when the formation was activated, all the Yin Shen Zhenren and Faxiang Venerables in Penglai gathered on Tiansheng Island, stood up according to the stars in the sky, and activated the formation.
In the dark, the vast power descended, turning into an invisible sharp sword through the formation, and landed on the eight pieces of the Sea King Token.
There was a loud bang, and the heaven and earth shook.
All the monks felt that the heavy pressure on them suddenly disappeared.
