Chapter 1379 The Tough Fang Jian

Inside the main hall of the Taishi Immortal Palace, Emperor Jun stood on a cloud of celebration and accepted the imperial edict from Fang Jian. He listened as Fang Jian said, "This time, fellow Daoist will personally lead the gods and generals to the Eastern Cangtian Realm. We must ensure the blockade of the Cangtian World."

Di Jun bowed and said, "I will follow the order of the Great Emperor Hongqing."

"As for which righteous gods and heavenly generals you should lead to the Eastern Heaven, you can go to Lingshu Jade Palace yourself to select the generals." Fang Jian said to Di Jun.

Emperor Jun bowed his head and respectfully accepted the order, then said goodbye to Fang Jian and turned into a mysterious light and left Taishi Xiandu.

Afterwards, Fang Jian called Hei Haier and said, "Go to Dong Zhen Mansion and bring Zhang Er and Xuan Ying up to heaven to see me."

Hei Haier nodded in response to the order, then turned and left. Not long after, Hei Haier led Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying to Daluo Heaven and arrived at Taishi Xiandu.

Fang Jian did not summon Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying to the main hall, but summoned them to the Lotus Pavilion behind the Immortal Palace.

When Mei Xianzhang saw Fang Jian, he immediately knelt outside the pavilion and kowtowed to him: "Disciple Mei Xianzhang greets his master."

Xuanying also bowed and said, "Xuanying pays homage to the Great Emperor Hongqing."

"Stand up." Fang Jian said with a smile.

The two stood up. Fang Jian waved at them and said with a smile, "Come in and sit down."

Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying walked respectfully into the lotus pavilion, and then at Fang Jian's invitation, sat down at the stone table inside the lotus pavilion.

Xuanying sat upright, Mei Xianzhang's eyes fixed on Fang Jian. After a moment, she took the initiative to ask, "Master, you suddenly asked us to come up to heaven. Is there something wrong?"

Fang Jian smiled and said, "If nothing happens, can't I ask you to go to heaven? Can't the master miss his disciples?"

Mei Xianzhang shook his head and said in disbelief, "Master, you don't seem like someone who would miss his apprentice all the time."

"Hahaha." Fang Jianlang laughed, then reached out and patted Mei Xianzhang on the head. Only then did he realize that his disciple had become a graceful and elegant immortal.

Fang Jian looked at Mei Xianzhang and said, "Disciple knows Master best. That's right, I summoned you to heaven this time because I have something for you two to do."

Upon hearing this, Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying looked at each other, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Master (Great Emperor Hongqing) please give your instructions."

"Sit down, sit down," Fang Jian said quickly, "You two shouldn't be so polite to me."

Fang Jian looked at the two people who had re-seated themselves and said, "I promised you that after you became immortals, I would consider letting you become immortal officials. Now I have an opportunity before you. Are you willing to take it?"

Mei Xianzhang nodded quickly and said, "I'm willing! Master, I've wanted to be an immortal official for a long time!"

Xuanying also said: "Great Emperor Hongqing, I am willing too."

Fang Jian looked at the two and said, "I'm very pleased that you say that. However, precisely because of your close relationship with me, I can't let you become powerful and idle officials. I must put you in the most dangerous place."

Mei Xianzhang immediately said, "Master, we are not afraid of danger."

Fang Jian smiled and said, "That's good. Do you think my position is too low?"

Mei Xianzhang asked, "How small?"

Fang Jian said: "The lowest official, the seventh-rank immortal official."

"Seventh-rank Immortal Official?" Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying exchanged glances. Even the Land God was a legitimate deity now. Could a seventh-rank Immortal Official be...

"Heavenly Soldiers?" Mei Xianzhang asked, "Master, do you think we should become Heavenly Soldiers?"

Fang Jian wore a mysterious smile, then shook his head and said, "Although both are seventh-rank immortal officials, this position is actually lower than that of a celestial soldier."

"What is that?" Mei Xianzhang asked in confusion.

Fang Jian looked at Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying, then slowly said, "Ghost messenger, the ghost messenger from the underworld who captures souls."

Hearing this, Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying were shocked. He was actually going to be a ghost catcher, which was indeed a very low position.

Because the underworld has always been independent, Mei Xianzhang had never thought of going there.

Fang Jian looked at them and said, "If you don't want to go to the underworld to be ghost messengers, I won't force you. You can stay in Taisu Palace for a few days first. I will teach you some Taoist methods, and then I will go back to Dongzhen Mansion in the lower world."

There is one thing I haven't mentioned yet. Since Fang Jian was promoted to the Golden Immortal of Daluo, the Taoist methods practiced by Mei Xianzhang, Zhe Yu and others have also been promoted.

Except for the Taoist methods in the "Tai Su Xuan Yuan Dao Zhang", all other Taoist methods and magical powers are open to Mei Xianzhang, Zhe Yu and others, and they can practice them at will.

But as soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying immediately stood up and expressed their willingness to be ghost messengers.

Fang Jian asked again and again, and both of them were very firm in their attitude, which made Fang Jian very relieved.

"Very good. I have an arrangement for you to be ghost messengers. You need to assist in investigating something." Fang Jian said to the two.

Mei Xianzhang asked curiously, "Master, what do you want us to investigate?"

Fang Jian raised his hand and shot out two golden lights that flew into the center of Mei Xianzhang and Xuan Ying's eyebrows. Then, things about the vast world of Cang Tian appeared in their minds.

Fang Jian looked at them and said, "That's it. After you enter the underworld to take up your posts, I will arrange the direction of your duties for you. You only need to conduct your investigation as ghost messengers."

Mei Xianzhang and Xuanying nodded solemnly. Mei Xianzhang then asked, "Master, why don't you let the righteous gods in the underworld investigate this matter, but instead ask us to do it?"
