Lin Ji set up a stove in the garden, holding a string of bracelets and rolling them over the fire. From time to time, he would pick up a bunch of seasonings that had been prepared and sprinkle them on the stove with brisk and clean movements.
Not far from him, Zheng Lixin's face was red, holding a wine jar in his hand and taking a sip from time to time, and then cast a dissatisfied look at Lin Ji.
Lin Ji, on the other hand, just pretended not to see Zheng Lixin's dissatisfaction. His eyes fell on the meat skewers in his hands, smelling the familiar but never tired of smell, and he was in a good mood.
"Sir Zheng, you are using wine to relieve your sorrow and make it worse. You are not a monk, and your body cannot handle such heavy drinking."
"Do you know what happened in the general office this afternoon?" Zheng Lixin staggered to his feet, suddenly swung his hand and smashed the wine bottle on the ground.
Snapped!
The wine bottle shattered on the floor, immediately attracting Lin Ji's disgusted gaze.
"That's all, Lin is not going to compete with a Jiu Mengzi. Fang An, let someone take care of it."
"I understand, sir." Fang An, who was waiting at the side, responded quickly and trotted to find the maid.
Not long after, the meat skewers were already cooked, and Lin Ji was not afraid of burning them. He took off two skewers as soon as they came out of the oven.
"Generally, the chef doesn't choose the meat well."
Although he said this, Lin Ji still wiped out the dozen or so skewers in his hands, then took out new ones, came to the fire again, and repeated the same process.
"Song Qiming from Liangzhou came to the general office, and it was the demon king of Liangzhou who was wreaking havoc." Zheng Lixin finally couldn't help it when he saw Lin Ji didn't ask.
"The man surnamed Song is not an outstanding person. Although he is in the Sun Traveling Realm, he is nothing more than that. If he really talks about his ability and means, Supervisor Tiansi will not let him become a town official in another hundred years!
But Lan Zeying came to power, so he ordered him to go to Liangzhou. Do you think this person is related to the eunuch earlier?"
Lin Ji didn't comment, just listened quietly.
"Lin, don't say anything! You came from Liangzhou. Now that Liangzhou has fallen into the hands of such a person, you can watch helplessly. Your all-powerful cultivation has been wasted!"
"Lin's cultivation level is not that great. Master Zheng, please don't talk nonsense."
"Isn't it enough to reach the heaven after entering the Taoist realm? You are the top group of people in this world, let alone your famous Lin Ji! Although I don't know how to practice, I also know that those worshipers in the general office are far inferior to you! They are
To enter the Dao by following the path of the Tao is to borrow the path of others, but you enter the Dao on your own and walk the path yourself.”
"Lord Zheng, you are so complimentary." Lin Ji was really not humble.
He also relies on the thinness of cause and effect. In a sense, he is also a Taoist figure, but his Taoist figure is more powerful than others' by more than one level.
"Huh!" Zheng Lixin snorted coldly, opened a new jar of wine, didn't drink it, and just held it in his arms.
"Lan Zeying went to see Song Qiming in the afternoon and promised him the position of Youtianguan."
After hearing this, Lin Ji finally raised his head and looked at Zheng Lixin.
"You Tianguan?"
"Youtianguan."
"He, Song Qiming, is only in the late stage of the day travel. With the luck of the town official, he can barely reach the peak of the day travel level. Why does he have it?"
"He is Lan Zeying's lackey, but he has no backbone at all."
"Being appointed as the Youtian Official in the Riyou Realm is not something that can be explained by simply being contrary to common sense. This is a violation of the world's disdain, and all the monks of the Tianjiansi will never be able to tolerate it."
"So what if I can't see through it? The Supervisory Heaven Seal is all in his hands, Lan Zeying. Who dares to say that he is not the boss? Who dares to disobey the boss?"
Lin Ji paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and suddenly had some enlightenment.
Speaking of which, if Zheng Lixin hadn't mentioned Jian Tian Yin, Lin Ji would have really been unable to figure this out.
The Jiantian Seal is the symbol of the Jiantiansi's luck. Any official position of third rank or above must obtain the Jiantian Seal to separate the Jiantiansi's luck and rely on the token.
Only in this way can he be regarded as a true senior executive of the Tiantiansi, an identity recognized by Jiuzhou Dragon Vein Qi Luck.
"If it is the Tianzi Order given by Lan Zeying, then it must have been recognized by the Dragon Vein Luck through the Supervisory Heaven Seal. That belongs to the Luck of You Tianguan. The total luck of the nine town officials in Kyushu in the Central Plains, Not as good as You Tianguan!"
If it weren't for such huge luck, it would not be able to suppress an extremely powerful person who is at least in the late stage of entering the Dao realm.
If luck hadn't been so overwhelming, Zi Qing and Shen Long wouldn't have been forced to go through all kinds of hardships, even going as far as the far north to face Daocheng directly, in order to find ways to escape.
This is the luck that can restrict those who are strong in the late stages of entering the Tao. It is the real shackles.
"Lan Zeying dares to do this because he is sure that Song Qiming will not live long." Lin Ji thought to himself.
Sure enough, as Zhan Chengfeng said that morning, Song Qiming was just a chess piece.
The meat skewers in his hand were cooked again, but he lost his appetite.
"Song Qiming hit a wall with Lan Zeying, so it's time to enter the palace next?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Zheng Lixin was a little surprised, put down the wine jar and said, "Song Qiming still has some self-awareness and dare not accept the Tianzi order from You Tianguan, but Lan Zeying doesn't let the Taoist monks go Liangzhou, so he said he would go to the palace to find an explanation."
"It's a pity that Emperor Pei is so stupid that his trip will probably end in vain."
"Not necessarily." Lin Ji shook his head and looked at the meat skewers in his hand.
Although he had no appetite, it was always a pity not to eat, so he started making skewers again.
Zheng Lixin waited, watching Lin Ji eat slowly and carefully.
"You're telling me, it's not necessarily true!"
Lin Ji swallowed the roasted meat.
"Song Qiming will not return without success, but it is still unclear to whom this success is a blessing and to whom it is a disaster."
"What are you talking about?" Zheng Lixin frowned, "Why can't I understand you?"
"It's okay if you don't understand. Lin is also confused. By the way, when will Song Qiming enter the palace?"
"Tomorrow."
"I will also go to court tomorrow." Lin Ji handed the remaining meat skewers to Zheng Lixin, "Try it, the second-grade Lord You Tianguan grilled it for you."
"Heh." Zheng Lixin smiled sarcastically. After the meat skewers entered his mouth, he raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, "The taste is unexpectedly good. Do you have such skills?"
"Hmph, you don't want to ask around. When Lin was in his youth, who among the colleagues who worked with Lin didn't know that I am good at barbecue? Why do you think Shen Long and I are familiar with each other? It was in the ruined temple in the wind and snow. Here’s a barbecue!”
Zheng Lixin twitched the corner of his mouth and said nothing.
After finishing the barbecue in his hand, he put down the sign and said with some concern: "So why do you call yourself a second-grade Youtianguan? You never like others to call you an official and think of you as a senior supervisor of the Heavenly Supervision Division, and you yourself never think so. This is your own identity."
Lin Ji smiled.
It should be said that he is worthy of being the leader of civil servants. Even though he is a drunkard, his thoughts are delicate.
"Because if I don't say a few words, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Lixin's pupils shrank suddenly, but he soon returned to normal.
