Li Dazhi hummed a little tune, held the golden abacus, and calculated the accounts of heaven in recent months.
More than a dozen white-haired old immortals lined up in front of him, each holding a stack of jade talismans in their hands.
These are the accounts they are each responsible for.
Li Dazhi said while doing the calculation: "The business in Tianting is getting bigger and bigger, and the accounts are becoming more and more complicated. The important thing to pay attention to in settling accounts is to avoid being impatient, and it will be fine if you do it slowly..."
"Report!"
Immortal soldiers hurriedly came to report: "I am reporting to the Immortal Chief! Fairy Yun Bing wants to see you!"
"Who? Qingsu? She is such a busy person, so why did she suddenly come back?"
Li Dazhi quickly put down the jade talisman account in his hand and hurried out to greet him.
The immortals wanted to follow, but Li Dazhi raised his hand and waved them away.
"It's okay. Qingsu's visit to me is probably about the Zhuyun Sect, so you don't need to follow me."
The immortals who were in charge of the accounts in heaven accepted the order.
Li Dazhi held his hands behind his back and rode the clouds, passing through the majestic and spacious main hall of the Temple of Wealth. When he saw Qing Su at the door, he smiled a little.
My precious son cares very much about his master. Fortunately, even though Qingsu has been doing heroic deeds in various places over the past few hundred years, he has not encountered any danger...
"Please ask the Immortal Chief of the Ministry of Finance to uphold justice."
Qingsu suddenly lowered his head and bowed his hands in salute, and his cold voice spread from the front of the hall, attracting the attention of many immortal soldiers.
Li Dazhi hurriedly approached Qing Su and asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Let's go, it's said inside, who made you unhappy?"
But Qing Su remained motionless, lowered her head and said: "Please ask the Immortal Chief of the Ministry of Finance to uphold justice!"
Li Dazhi was immediately confused.
He looked around and said with a smile: "No, you want me to uphold justice. You have to speak out. If there is any problem here, just speak out. Is someone deducting your monthly payment? Who is it! Such a bold man
!The Emperor of Heaven dares to withhold the monthly payment from his favorite teacher!"
Qing Su lowered the corners of her mouth slightly, looked up at Li Dazhi, and said, "Can I ask the Immortal Chief of the Ministry of Finance to follow me to the Xuanwu Realm!"
"Ah?" Li Dazhi frowned, "What are you doing there?"
"A tragedy once occurred in the Xuanwu world," Qing Su said calmly, "This case is related to the Ministry of Finance."
Li Dazhi glared: "We can't talk nonsense! Why is it related to the Ministry of Finance!"
Qing Su said: "If the immortal head does not go away, when the Emperor of Heaven returns, I will kneel in the Lingxiao Palace and ask the Emperor of Heaven to investigate this matter personally!"
"oops!"
Li Dazhi was so anxious that he clapped his hands and said hurriedly:
"The matters of punishment and prison shall be handled by the Four Halls of Punishment in Heaven!
"If you complain directly, you will offend the Queen Mother to death... Of course you are not afraid of the Queen Mother, maybe you can speak better than the Queen Mother.
"No, what kind of case is it? Let me tell you first, so that I can have a better understanding!"
Qingsu lowered his head and sighed: "I have been investigating the massacre of a sect for a long time and have definite evidence, so I would like to ask you to seek justice."
Li Dazhi muttered: "Why do I feel you are lying? Is there any inside story on this matter?"
"Well, that's a lot of information."
"Okay then," Li Dazhi said with a bitter smile, "This is you Immortal Qingsu. If it were Ningning who came to invite you, I would also reprimand her! I will prepare a guard of honor."
"There is no need to delay, otherwise there will be masters who will destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces," Qing Su said, "I have summoned Marshal Dapeng! Immortal Head, just follow me now!"
"big!"
The corner of Li Dazhi's mouth twitched slightly. He glanced at the palace and nodded slowly: "Okay, I will listen to you. Then I will call the punishment hall to be the official on duty, and then ask the King of the East to mobilize tens of thousands of elite soldiers!"
Qingsu insisted: "These can all be used to send messages, let's go there first."
"How big of an inside story is it that makes you so nervous?"
Li Dazhi said no more, simply jumped down the steps and waved his hand: "Let's go! Let's hurry!"
A beam of golden light flew from the distance and turned into a golden-winged roc with a wingspan of three feet.
Dapeng's bird's eye swept towards the Temple of Wealth, and all the old immortals in the temple who were using their immortal senses to explore this place trembled at the same time.
cracking--
The roc spreads its wings and flies away quickly.
However, the Heavenly Court was secretly exploding. Communication jade talismans were constantly being crushed, and jade messengers were being passed back and forth inside and outside the Heavenly Court.
Tianting Yaochi.
The palace used to hold the peach feast is also the palace where Queen Mother Yaochi handles daily affairs of the heaven.
At this moment, the Queen Mother was lying on the throne, holding a scripture in her hand and reading it carefully. Her eyes were full of reverie, and she seemed a little uneasy.
Two beams of fairy light flew over, landed in front of the bead curtain of the throne, and turned into two fairies bowing their heads in salute.
"Your Majesty, the Immortal Chief of the Ministry of Finance has requested the King of the East to dispatch 50,000 troops to the Xuanwu Realm to obey his orders. The King of the East has dispatched troops and horses according to his needs and ordered the troops stationed in the Xuanwu Realm to greet him."
The Queen Mother said calmly: "Do you need to report such a trivial matter?"
"My dear," another fairy said, "this matter seems to be of great importance. The Immortal of the Ministry of Finance was invited by Immortal Qingsu."
"Qing Su?"
There was some doubt in the Queen Mother's eyes. She tapped her slender fingers casually, and the surveying mirror flew up on its own, revealing several scrolls in front of her.
The golden roc spreads its wings and gallops, and the King of the East orders to mobilize his troops.
The Queen Mother said slowly: "Do you know what it is?"
"It's... a sect that was wiped out."
The fairy on the left said softly:
"This matter has been recorded in the Punishment Hall. About two hundred and forty years ago, a small sect in the Xuanwu world was destroyed by a demon cultivator. Immortal Qingsu felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so he froze the sect and has been secretly investigating.
this matter.
"Because Qingsu Immortal is the righteous god of heaven, her request to the Punishment Hall cannot be refused, so the Punishment Hall sent the righteous god to this place.
"Finally, we came to the conclusion that it was a demonic cultivator."
As the fairy reported, the sky survey mirror revealed many situations.
Including the place where the mountain top is frozen.
The Queen Mother said softly: "Then, isn't it the conclusion recorded in the Punishment Hall?"
The fairy on the right whispered softly: "My Lady, Tianfang Pavilion should know about this matter. We do not have enough manpower to investigate. It seems that there are people from the human race who are seeking wealth and murder behind the scenes. It is related to the old ministers of the Human Emperor and the new nobles of the heaven."
"oh?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows slightly and said slowly:
"If that's the case, then let the righteous god who is on duty at the Punishment Hall bring along the immortal official who went to investigate the matter.
"You two should follow and take my jade hairpin with you.
"This incident has alarmed your Majesty's master and father. It is impossible to be fooled by those ghosts and snake gods. No matter who is found, they will be severely punished by the punishment hall. If there are gods from heaven involved, the crime will be increased to third degree, and the disaster will be brought to the clan.
in law."
"yes."
The two fairies agreed, lowered their heads and hurriedly retreated.
The Queen Mother looked at the sky surveying mirror for a while, then put away the sky surveying mirror, picked up the scripture and read it carefully.
She is an innate being and doesn't quite understand why people's hearts always have so much greed.
But she knows how to deal with greed.
…
I really thought about it and secretly glanced at Li Ping'an's profile.
'Master, he is quite handsome.'
Then, she looked at the surrounding environment. She didn't know why the master brought her into these ice blocks. There were corpses sealed in the ice everywhere.
Li Ping'an moved a chair, sat down, and began to close his eyes and meditate.
Hao Xiaonian controlled the walking immortal armor, stood obediently behind him, and looked around.
After more than thirty years of living in this world, Hao Xiaonian is no longer the youngest wizard he was. He has learned to observe words and emotions, and also learned to observe patiently.
She just stood quietly behind Li Ping'an, dazed for a while.
Hearing an eagle's cry, several rays of fairy light fell from the sky.
She really wanted to step forward to take a look, but her sight was blocked by layers of ice, and she didn't know how to use her spiritual sense to detect it.
Li Ping'an casually lit a cloud mirror and showed the situation in the front yard to Hao Xiaonian.
I just saw an incredibly beautiful fairy, a fat middle-aged man in brocade clothes, and a tall, white-faced general with a heroic face, looking for something in the ice.
The conversation between the three people also came from Yunjing:
"Qingsu, what's going on?"
"Do you remember the reform of the Xuanwu Realm Spiritual Mine?"
"Remember," Li Dazhi said, "I am still in charge of this. Isn't this the development plan of our heaven? This is what the Vermillion Bird Realm and the White Tiger Realm do! There are no mistakes!"
Dapeng asked: "What kind of plan?"
Li Dazhi smiled bitterly:
"Heavenly Court will first pay to buy back these minerals from the main realm, and then conduct a unified auction. The auctions are divided into regions, and the original owners of these minerals will have certain advantages when bidding.
"Just like this mountain range, the spiritual mines in this mountain range can only be bid by the sects on this mountain.
"We took this opportunity to thoroughly explore these sects and spiritual mines and mark them, and we gave them development rights instead of ownership. The ownership belongs to Heaven.
"This matter can be implemented with great flexibility, and it does not put these small sects at a disadvantage."
Qing Su said: "But the news came from the Ministry of Finance."
"What news?"
"This sect's spiritual mine contains a rare treasure."
"this?!"
Li Dazhi frowned and put his hands behind his back, muttering: "Is this why this sect was killed? The mines need to be mined little by little. This place is not far from the place where the troops are stationed in Heaven. It is impossible for powerful men to directly remove the veins, right?"
"it's not true."
Qingsu told in detail how Wei Yuxue went to complain to the imperial court and then the whole sect was wiped out.
Li Dazhi's expression became worse and worse.
When Qing Su mentioned the Ye family, Li Dazhi couldn't help but frown tightly.
"The Ye family...my father-in-law and many former officials of the Human Emperor are all related to their family...really they did it? Where is Ye Zisang? Dapeng, go and capture Ye Zisang! Give me the head of the Ye family as well.
Come here!"
Dapeng took the order and turned around to run away.
Qing Su said: "Is Ye Zisang really aware of the matter regarding the Ye family?"
"Whether he knows it or not, if this matter is investigated, it will be a crime of confiscation of the house. He is a descendant of the Ye family. Isn't it useless for him to use the resources of the Ye family? This has nothing to do with him."
Li Dazhi took a chair himself, lifted up the hem of his brocade robe and sat in it.
"Qingsu, you don't have to worry about it, I'll get to the bottom of this matter.
"It actually has something to do with my Ministry of Finance. If the files sealed in the Ministry of Finance are used for business, I, the immortal, will be the one to blame.
“If this is true, I don’t have to do it anymore, I’ll just get rid of these bastards first!
"Capturing Ye Zisang is just a shock to the tiger. Ye Zisang is now the Ye family's support. If he is brought here, the Ye family may be in chaos.
"As long as it doesn't involve King Dong, I can handle it! Don't worry!"
Qingsu nodded slightly and walked to the corner to meditate.
About a moment later, more than a dozen heavenly generals wearing golden armor came to pay their respects outside.
Qingsu melted the black ice at the door, and more than a dozen corpses were exposed on the ground, and the blood was still so bright.
The dozen or so heavenly generals walked in quickly and saluted with their fists clasped together.
"Finally, I will pay my respects to Father Heaven!"
"Well," Li Dazhi nodded with a smile, "General Yuehe is so polite. Are you on duty in the Xuanwu Realm? Come and sit down."
The leading general said hurriedly: "The last general will just stand."
"General Yue, do you know what's going on here?"
"I've heard about it, and I came here to check it out," Yue He said, cupping his hands. "This matter is not within the duties of the general, so the general can only check it out."
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "Then tell me, who is so bold as to intercept and kill Wei Yuxue who is about to file a complaint?"
"this……"
Yue He pondered slightly: "The general will not know the inside story of this matter."
"Not long after the Xuanwu Realm was built, the government affairs here were directly under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, and the prison affairs were all handled by the garrison generals. Of course, there was no government affairs here, except for the collection of incense taxes, but the prison affairs seemed to be inseparable from the generals.
relationship."
Yue He lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Dazhi narrowed his eyes slightly: "What's the matter? General Yue rushed here in a hurry, but he wants to disassociate himself from this matter?"
Yue He said hurriedly: "Father, Heavenly Emperor, you misunderstood. After the incident happened, the general Mo did check it out and offered a reward to capture the culprit. The Heavenly Court Punishment Hall gave the explanation of the demon cultivator for killing, so the matter was left unsolved.
Fairy Yun Bing has frozen this place, and the general has also sent people to take care of it and conduct regular inspections to prevent this place from being destroyed!"
Li Dazhi nodded slowly: "I remember, you seem to be the group of human generals who went to heaven after the death of the ancestor of Styx, right?"
"Yes, I was previously serving in the ASEAN General Camp."
"Then let me ask you," Li Dazhi said, "when did this happen?"
"About two hundred and twenty years ago."
"Has anyone approached you about this and asked you to help destroy this place?"
Yue He pursed his lips tightly.
Li Dazhi smiled and said:
"Maybe everyone was too nervous chatting, so I asked the general to come and sit down.
"General Yue, this matter has been unstoppable since Qing Su intervened. You should also know about this matter. They are all old men who have served in the Imperial Army for many years. It is impossible not to understand the priorities here.
"So I think you haven't done anything wrong, you just have some unspeakable secrets and some old feelings that are hard to let go of.
"His Majesty has left seclusion."
Yue He was startled for a moment.
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "Your Majesty will return to Heaven soon. At this juncture, do you think my eldest daughter-in-law wants to cause a scandal in Heaven and the human race? Does she want Qingsu to complain to His Majesty? Then she said
Responsible punishment from the Heavenly Court, disregard of human life, negligence and disadvantage? You know the Queen Mother's methods and style of conduct, it has almost become the calling card of the Heavenly Court."
Yue He closed his eyes and sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "General... someone did come to see me and wanted him to destroy the Xuan Bing here, and they gave him quite generous conditions."
"Then?"
"The general refused, and ordered people to keep an eye on this place!"
Yue He smiled bitterly and said:
"Father, Heavenly Emperor, do you really want to investigate this matter to the end?"
"I've been here since I came, so there's no possibility of retreating. You can make a personal statement later."
Li Dazhi took a chair and placed it aside, and said slowly:
"Come and sit.
"You are the main military commander of the Xuanwu Realm, a top-grade Golden Immortal, and a human warrior that His Majesty favors. As long as it is found out that this matter has nothing to do with you, it will not affect your future. At most, you will be fined a monthly payment.
"First mobilize tens of thousands of immortal soldiers here to make a big noise. Don't be afraid of people seeing it. As far as possible, notify the experts in the Xuanwu world to come and have a look.
"If the image of Heaven is really affected by this incident, Your Majesty is really good at killing people."
"Yes," Yue He accepted the order with his hands raised, turned around and said, "hurry up and mobilize your troops, don't wait for the heavenly talisman!"
Several golden-armored generals turned around and left in a hurry.
More news spread to the Lord in heaven and earth.
About three hours later.
There was another eagle cry, and the roc bird had returned, smashing the ice cap with one talon and throwing seven or eight figures to the bottom.
Ye Ye Sang is prominently on the list.
The head of the Ye family and several powerful elders of the Ye family are all here, and all of them have been banned from cultivation. Except for Ye Zisang, everyone else is unconscious.
Ye Zisang was confused: "What's going on?"
Li Dazhi said coldly: "Shut up and squat aside."
Ye Zisang shrank her neck and turned around to help the head of the Ye family.
Li Dazhi took off his shoes, grabbed the soles and threw them at Ye Zisang, cursing: "I asked you to squat next to me! You don't understand people, do you?"
Ye Zisang lowered his head to look at the seven familiar old men, then looked at the Dapeng and a group of golden-armored generals, looking at the corpses everywhere, and his face became a little pale.
He turned around and walked to the corner, squatting down slowly, his eyes glazed over.
