The old man fell from the sky. After landing, he didn't take a step for a long time.
The three official seals outside his body have all been retracted and his breath has calmed down.
At this moment, he looked forward, looking at the dragon.
I also crossed the courtyard and saw a young man in white sitting leisurely.
He was very familiar with this young man.
Gathering in the blessed land of the Holy Mountain, the thirteen true disciples of Lord Bai, Zhuang Ming!
The old man's expression changed, his heart was shaken, and he felt vaguely uneasy.
He never expected that it would be Zhuang Ming who caused the commotion in Jiangdi.
Isn't this young man from the Dongsheng Dynasty in the blessed land of the Holy Mountain?
How did you come to the Chu Dynasty in this heavenly blessed land?
Could it be that he refused to give up at Jusheng Mountain last time and ordered him to hunt him down to deal with his guilt for rashly setting foot in the blessed land of Jusheng Mountain?
In an instant, the old Taoist's mind fluctuated and his face changed.
"Senior, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?" Zhuang Ming said with a smile again.
"fine……"
The old man took one step forward, crossing a hundred feet, and approached the courtyard. But when he saw what he was approaching, he stopped again, took a deep breath, and said in a complicated tone: "But, why are fellow Taoists here?"
His eyes fell on the dragon. Today, this dragon gave him an extremely palpitating feeling.
That day at the Holy Land of Jusheng Mountain, he also faced the dragon directly, but he only felt that the dragon had the aura of a newly-formed great demon, and it did not make him feel any fear.
However, because Nie Ping's body was in front of him, and he was wary of the young man's identity as a true disciple of the Gathering Holy Mountain, he was not sure, so he erred on the side of caution and did not dare to take risks, so he retreated.
But the aura displayed by this dragon today was vaguely half stronger than his own, and it was still a hundred years higher than what he saw that day.
That day at Jusheng Mountain, was this dragon really hiding its aura and testing whether he dared to take action?
If you couldn't help your greed and took action that day, would you have been destroyed by this dragon?
The old man took a deep breath. At this moment, feeling the blessing of the official seals of the three palaces on his waist, he felt a little more stable.
Zhuang Ming only laughed and pushed the tea cup forward on the stone table.
In fact, he was also very surprised. He had never thought that the new Palm Seal Palace Master would be this old man, an old Taoist priest of the Taiyuan Sect who set foot in the blessed land of Jusheng Mountain that day.
According to common sense, the palm seal masters of a mansion include practitioners from the upper level of Tao Seal, as well as masters from the Golden Elixir level. However, such figures are either real people from the Taiyuan Sect or people under the Great Chu King of the Zhongyuan Realm.
Sent here.
It's just that the real Jindan is higher than the outside world, and most of those who are entrusted to manage the mortal world have exhausted their potential and are stuck in the initial stage of Jindan, or in the middle reaches of Jindan.
A real person of this level, even if he holds the official seal of a government, is only equivalent to the upper level of an ordinary golden elixir.
Zhuang Ming believed that he had the power of a dragon, which was not inferior to any of the top Jindan figures.
And with such a power that makes the Palm Seal Palace Master fearful, as long as he, Zhuang Ming, does not challenge the Chu Dynasty head-on, does not make too big a fuss, and does not affect too much, then it is impossible for the Palm Seal Palace Master to fight with him.
He worked hard.
But I never thought that the new Master of the Palm Seal Palace would be this old Taoist priest.
This old Taoist priest has an upper-level cultivation of Jindan and is already extremely powerful.
Now that I have the three seals of the Mansion in my hand, will I become more powerful?
Zhuang Ming pondered in his heart, his dragon swallowed Nie Ping's golden elixir, swallowed the inner elixir of Beiyuan Sea Demon King, swallowed the strange iron and various kinds of elixirs and rare objects collected by Zhuang's trading company, and his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. In dozens of days, like
After hundreds of years of growth, one can already challenge the upper echelons of Jindan head-on, and even defeat them.
However, when he saw it today, the old Taoist priest had obtained the seal of the Three Palaces and was even more powerful than before, which made him feel a little bit pressured.
However, for Zhuang Ming, this new palm seal official made him feel relieved.
Although he is not afraid of any Palm Seal Fu Zun, it is inevitable that a competition will occur, and he must show power that makes the Fu Zun fearful. Only then will the Palm Seal Fu Zun be willing to negotiate with him.
Now, this old Taoist priest has a very high level of cultivation and is in charge of the three palaces. Although he is stronger than the ordinary Palm Seal Palace Master, he knows his origin and his identity as a true disciple of the Holy Gathering Mountain, so he definitely does not dare to take action.
"Have a cup of tea first."
Zhuang Ming smiled.
The old man also sat down, looking solemn.
But everyone present was astonished.
This young man actually knows the new Palm Seal Palace Master?
Not to mention those ordinary gentlemen, not to mention Lord Jiang Di Zhengling, even the old man's direct disciple Zhou Sheng also showed an expression of disbelief.
Lu He was extremely shocked when he recognized the old Taoist priest, but when he turned around to look, he saw Yue Ting with a confused and inexplicable look on his face.
——
"Senior, before leaving that day, invited me to come to Tianyu Blessed Land. You always said that you wanted to show your friendship as a landowner, and now I am here." Zhuang Ming took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
"..."
The old Taoist's cheek twitched, and he just said politely that day. He didn't even dare to leave his name behind, and hurriedly escaped from the Holy Land of Jusheng Mountain.
Zhuang Ming smiled and said: "I came here today because I was invited to take a look at the most prosperous place in the East Continent, the Tianyu Blessed Land, which is the first of the thirty-six blessed lands. It is within the territory of the Great Chu Dynasty. I thought it was a vast East Continent.
The great world of cultivation is here, but what can I do..."
When he said this, he suddenly sighed and continued: "I didn't expect that in the territory of Chu, the officials would be so fierce. They handle cases based solely on joy and anger, without evidence, and they will kill people without saying a word."
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly stiffened and became stagnant.
The old Taoist pressed the official seal with one hand and remembered the previous changes.
Jiang Di's deputy commander was killed, and Jiang Di's official order asked for the power of the government seal. Immediately after, his disciple Zhou Sheng used the order of the government chief register.
"This matter...what exactly is going on?"
"It's a long story, so Zhuang will make it short..."
"Master..." Zhou Sheng suddenly spoke and said loudly: "This murderer..."
"Shut up!"
The old Taoist tilted his head and shouted: "Did I let you speak?"
Zhou Sheng immediately fell silent and did not dare to say anything.
Zhuang Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "I ran a business in the early years. Later, my subordinates were highly capable and expanded overseas. When I arrived in the Dongyuan realm in Dachu, the blessed land of heaven, in this mortal world, money and interests are unavoidably touching.
Because of greed, someone tried to ambush and kill my men here."
"A manager of my firm was killed. In order to silence him, the perpetrator killed the deputy commander of Jiangdi."
"Concerning this point, senior, as the Master of the Palm Seal Palace, can investigate in detail. Many of the officials in the courtyard have seen it with their own eyes."
He said with a smile on his lips.
The old Taoist looked as usual and said: "Of course I believe you."
Zhuang Ming still smiled and poured a cup of tea.
Zhou Sheng's face turned pale, and Jiang Di Zhengling's heart sank.
——
"After that, the chief ministers of Jiangdi and the prefecture-level chief secretaries arrived one after another."
Zhuang Ming looked at the two of them and sighed: "Both of you, my lords, have neither asked me about the cause of the matter nor have any evidence, so they killed me without any reason."
Before the old man opened his mouth, Zhou Sheng shouted angrily.
"Master... this person committed evil crimes. He killed an entire deputy order, suppressed an entire area of principal orders, and frightened all the officials and disciples in the courtyard..."
"Shut up!" The old Taoist looked coldly, looked at Zhuang Ming again with a complicated expression, and said: "Mr. Thirteen, please continue."
"good……"
Zhuang Ming looked at Zhou Sheng again and said, "Do you have any evidence for suspecting me of murder? Have you ever seen it with your own eyes? Or do you want to kill me just based on the scene in the courtyard?"
Zhou Sheng's face suddenly stiffened.
"I suppressed you just now to protect myself."
"When you took action, did I take action?"
"As the chief registrar of a government, he attacked me without any evidence or trial. This is a violation of the law knowingly. How is the crime?"
"To take a step back, let's not talk about the laws of Dachu."
"In terms of practice, Daoyin practitioners provoke Jindan Master and take the initiative to offend me. This is because if you commit a crime against God, I will kill you on the spot and it will still be in compliance with the laws of Dachu."
"If we had not respected the great Chu law and left it to the outside world, you two would have been separated by now."
Zhuang Ming put down the tea cup and looked at the old Taoist priest.
The old man said nothing.
Everyone's eyes fell on him.
Zhou Sheng and Jiang Di Zhengling were particularly frightened, with a hint of longing.
After a while, the old Taoist priest stood up and looked at Zhou Sheng.
"According to the laws of Dachu, officials from various places must have solid evidence when acting."
"If the evidence is true, it can be proven that the suspected murderer trampled the laws of Dachu, killed the people of Dachu, and injured Dachu officials. Not to mention that he is a real person of the Jindan series, but also an ancestor of the Zhenxuan series.
Capture him according to law!"
"If you are not capable enough, you can ask for orders from the Dongyuan Realm and ask the upper-level officials to suppress and kill those who are causing trouble in the world!"
"You can ask questions based on your identity as an official of the imperial court, but you can't use the official seal of the imperial court to take action for no reason!"
The old Taoist's voice just fell, and in the eyes of everyone's disbelief, the foundation of this major event was determined.
Attack for no reason!
No reason!
"Master..." Zhou Sheng's hands and feet were trembling, completely unable to believe that his mentor would decide this matter like this.
"Master...this person...this person killed my father..."
"That is to say, you killed me for no reason before, and you were not enforcing the law impartially?" Zhuang Ming suddenly said: "Is it for personal grudges? Just because of your father's death, without any evidence, you want to kill me and bury him with him?"
"You and I……"
Zhou Sheng was panting heavily, and his face gradually turned a little frightened.
Because of his father, he was indeed full of murderous intentions, but he had been restrained from the beginning, fearing that he would be taken advantage of, and wanted to take down the opponent with the attitude of the prefecture-level chief clerk who dealt with it impartially.
But after being exposed by Jiang Di's official order, he lost his mind a little. As the chief secretary of a palace, it was indeed too much to forcibly kill the opponent with his official seal without trial.
The old Taoist priest sighed softly, glanced at Zhou Sheng, and then looked at the insignificant Jiangdi Zhengling. Even his own disciples could not escape the blame, and this Jiangdi Zhengling could only share the same blame.
"Jiang Di is enforcing the official order, and the Eighth Palace Registrar failed to enforce the law impartially. Due to personal grudges, he acted erroneously, causing public weapons to be used for personal use, and even violating the gods. Now..."
The old Taoist priest paused for a moment and said: "With the authority of the three government officials, I will remove you two from their official positions on the spot, and temporarily imprison you to await interrogation. They will be sent to the Dongyuan Realm Prince's Palace for judgment!"
