The young Taoist's soul relied on the North Pole Exorcism Order and went straight to the Exorcism Court in Heaven in a flash.
This is a magical power that the heavenly officials who are temporarily in the human world can do naturally. Even if their physical bodies are extremely far away from the Heavenly Court, they can still come and go in an instant. The young Taoist's soul turned into the black clothes and black robes of the Exorcist Court, with a mask on his face. He took off the bun given by his teacher, because he no longer had the star-level soul armor and the purple jade gold crown. His black hair was loose, only his temples were white.
Entering the Exorcism Court directly, the young Taoist looked up and saw that all the gods and generals of the Exorcism Court were solemn.
But they didn't know that they already had some smiles in their hearts.
He looked up and saw the leader, a gentle man in armor and battle robe, with an ordinary face and peaceful eyes. When the young Taoist saw him sitting in the main seat, he already knew his identity. He bowed slightly and called him "True Lord". The Great True Lord Tianpeng seemed to be flipping through books. In this Exorcism Institute above the sky, he was not the size of an ordinary person, but was in the middle of a battle, with a tall stature.
About a hundred feet away, the surrounding gods and generals were also like this, wearing battle robes and black boots, with clouds rising around them, all of them had the majestic demeanor of a god and general.
Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun said in a gentle voice, "What's the matter, demon?"
"Well, you came here first, and the merits from the previous time have not been given to you yet. Tianyou, what are the merits of the ** demon? In terms of merits, what position can you be promoted to?"
Tianyou Zhenjun flipped through the files, raised his eyes, and said concisely: "Although he has meritorious service, he is not yet of grade."
Many gods and generals were surprised. With the merits of this young man, his accumulated achievements were enough to be promoted to a higher rank. However, they all believed in the judgment of Great True Lord Tianpeng and did not speak.
Only Tianyou knew that this was because the young Taoist was too influential.
It takes a hundred times more merits than an ordinary person to be promoted in this Arctic Exorcist House and gain the help of a priesthood.
However, the merits recorded by the Arctic Exorcism House will not be deducted in the slightest.
You can exchange them for many classics as usual.
General Lei raised his eyes slightly and said dully, "It shouldn't be so few. Let me take a look..." He took a look and his expression eased. He looked at the young Taoist ** demon over there and explained, "Although he has not been given a rank title, he is very close to it, enough to be comparable to the work of others in a hundred years."
The actual treatment of celestial officials and immortal officials varies greatly.
The heavenly officials only get some money from the Emperor of Heaven.
The immortal officials, however, have their own elixirs, talismans, and many other immortal supplies.
Ordinary heavenly soldiers need to greet heavenly officials after meeting them, and even when they meet immortals, they communicate with each other as peers. They can also go to the South China Sea Dharma Assembly or the Penglai Immortal Family to travel. They can have boys accompanying them, and they can be protected by divine generals when going in and out. They can even enter the South Gate of Heaven directly, instead of having to receive orders to enter the Heavenly Palace.
Tian Peng Great True Lord nodded, his tone was quite relaxed, and said:
"You have already gained a lot of merit. After that, you can go to the Northern Emperor's Treasury and select a treasure."
"Now tell me, **demon, what are you here to report?"
Then, many of the gods who maintained their bodies over a hundred feet tall in the Exorcism Institute had a slight smile on their faces.
The young Taoist said, "I was brought into the netherworld by the God of Death."
Many gods understood.
He looked at the young Taoist's soul.
I know that this should be the damage caused by the previous sword strike, which caused Wuchang to admit his fault, hehe...
But this matter does not belong to the exorcism house.
Young people always feel that matters of life and death involving these unpredictable things must have disturbed the order of heaven and earth, so they report to the Exorcist's House. Many gods and generals smile. Although there are not many such things, they do exist. They regard certain harsh behaviors of the underworld as violations of order.
The gods watched their juniors make the same mistakes they did, with an understanding and relaxed look on their faces. Occasionally, the gods would make eye contact with each other, with a smile on their lips, and then shake their heads as if smiling.
The young Taoist said, "I saw Fengdu City."
Then the smile froze in an instant.
???!
Um?
where?!
Clatter, clatter, accompanied by the violent shaking of tables and chairs, countless gods stood up, pressed the jade table, stirred up the waves of the sea of clouds, leaned down, eyes widened, all looked at the young Taoist, and in an instant the sound was like thunder, rang out at the same time, and shouted:
“Where?!”
“What did you see!”
"Fengdu City?!"
Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun's eyes were calm, and he felt that this young Taoist had brought him a huge surprise. He said:
"Devil, keep talking."
"yes."
The young Taoist said, "The gate of hell in Fengdu City has opened."
"?!!!"
"Where is my weapon?!"
"We underestimated you. This is indeed a big deal!"
Many gods looked solemn, and they felt that their work was about to begin. They were rubbing their hands, and they all felt that something big was about to happen. The young Taoist said, "Then, I met the Five Directions Ghost Emperor." The atmosphere in the Exorcist Courtyard had become solemn. Tianyou frowned slightly and said, "The Five Directions Ghost Emperor was the one who stirred up the storm in the Netherworld during the Third Calamity Era."
"They are still alive?"
“This era suddenly appeared.”
"I wonder what you are going to do?"
Many gods talked to each other and were quite surprised at such a turn of events. However, this situation seemed to be under their control and expectations. They were just a little hesitant about the actions and goals of these Ghost Emperors. In an instant, they thought of several possibilities, but none of them could be guaranteed.
The young Taoist said, "The Five Ghost Emperors are planning to break out of Fengdu City and strangle the Ten Kings of Hell."
“I was in contact with them for a while.”
“I got this goal from them, but I don’t know whether it’s right or wrong.”
All the warriors of the Exorcist Institute paused and looked at the young Taoist priest over there.
Before that, it was a 3,600-year-long formation that was meant to break the flow of good and evil.
Let me put it extremely bluntly now.
There is a risk of chaos in the underworld, and the boundary between life and death is about to be broken.
General Lei frowned, still puzzled, and asked: "Why did you meet the Five Ghost Emperors?"
The young Taoist thought for a moment and replied, "Because I made some noise."
"What's going on?"
"I took away an ancient zither from the treasure house of Hades."
Many warriors of the Exorcist Court were dumbfounded, and then realized which zither the young Taoist was talking about. They looked at each other in bewilderment, as they had never expected that this newcomer's first visit would involve such a big deal. Previously they thought it was just a newbie's problem, and they all smiled, but now they couldn't laugh anymore.
This is a big job.
Who knew that this little guy killed Emperor Donghua Shaoyang the first time he went out.
The second time he showed up, he hooked out the Five Ghost Kings, the 2,300-li-long Fengdu City, and the seventy-two evil ghosts.
The gods looked at each other and sighed, "So, the Netherworld should have collapsed a little bit, [Destroy the Buddha and Behead the Emperor]?"
"You actually brought this thing out?"
Only Yisheng laughed out loud: "Hahahaha."
"Destroy the Buddha and slay the emperor, and save all living beings!"
"This piano is worthy of you!"
"Come on, **demon, tell me, what did the Five Ghost Emperors say?!"
The young Taoist said: "Eight thousand years ago..."
"**magic."
When Qi Wuhuo mentioned this year, his voice was interrupted. Tianpeng Da Zhenjun stood up, his gentle expression slightly restrained, still tolerant, and said: "Come with me."
…
The young Taoist was brought to the Exorcism Court by the Great True Lord. The Great True Lord was not arrogant or condescending, but asked the young Taoist in detail about what had happened. Qi Wuhuo told him everything about how the Five Ghost Emperors took him away, including how he was taken away, how they used their names to deceive him, how they deliberately served him tea, and how he responded.
Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed the young Taoist's right hand with his palm.
In an instant, thunder ran over the Taoist boy's soul. Tian Peng Great True Lord pinched something with his right hand and pulled it out suddenly. A turbid black thing was pulled out from the Taoist boy's right hand, and then it was blasted into slag in the light of thunder. Tian Peng Great True Lord said slowly:
"Although you are clever, you didn't drink the tea."
"But among the five ghost emperors, the Central Ghost Emperor is the most cunning. You can't even connect to his things."
"You are here, how do you deal with this matter? I am going to go find the Northern Emperor."
"Give me your sword. The scabbard may not be safe."
Great True Lord Tianpeng slightly opened his five fingers and grasped the Blood River Sword in his hand. Before this, he had never thought that the young Taoist in front of him would cause such a big commotion. The young Taoist sat here and waited quietly. Later, Lei Jiang came and took him to the Beidi treasury to exchange for items of merit.
"Although your foundation is strong, it was affected by that sword, and the damage is quite severe now."
"My suggestion is the same as Taibai's. We both think that you cannot rely on external things to make up for these. Among the many techniques and classics, I suggest that you choose the "Ziwei Emperor Qi Zhenjing" written by His Majesty the Northern Emperor himself. After practicing it, it will be enough to repair your foundation and enable you to have a foundation that surpasses ordinary people in the stage of [Qi Refining]."
"Of course, it's up to you to choose."
General Lei spoke in a calm voice, and the jade slips he saw in front of him were emitting brilliant light.
The young Taoist stretched out his hand and still chose the volume of "Yuanshi Zuqi". When his palm touched the object, his eyes suddenly became hazy and flashed through the underworld where Yin De Dingxiu Zhenjun was. When he touched the jade slip, he saw the scene of the ten underworld kings attacking Yuanshi Da Tianzun thousands of years ago.
Before my eyes, I saw the Great Celestial Venerable with a lofty and indifferent look and deep eyes that seemed to encompass everything, staring down at me.
However, this time, for some unknown reason, the [Great Yuanshi Tianzun] that the young Taoist saw was not the majestic Taoist in his real body, but a combination of pure white Yuanqi. It was not the real body of Yuanshi Tianzun who arrived in the underworld, the so-called Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun who defeated the ten Hades and passed down the ten magical powers.
It's just a change of Qi.
That’s all!
In an instant, the scene disappeared again, and the young Taoist had already grasped the "Original Ancestor Qi".
This jade slip is plain and simple. If it were not for the two words "Yuanshi" on it, and if this jade slip were not in the Beidi Palace, it would almost be like an ordinary thing. The young Taoist was in a trance for a long time, and when he looked at the Yuanshi Zuqi again, it was still ordinary. It just recorded simple words, all written in ancient cloud seal script, which seemed mysterious.
"The lineage of Grand Master Uncle is the most noble, and the foundation of Grand Master's Tao is unparalleled."
"Uncle Shangqing is good at killing."
“And my teacher, Jade Purity Yuanshi Great Celestial Venerable, was transformed by the Ancestral Qi, and can be called the best in the transformation and circulation of Qi.”
"If you can practice this method, it will be of great benefit to you."
The voice was generous and gentle. Qi Wuhuo turned around and saw that Tianpeng Dazhenjun had returned. The young Taoist bowed slightly.
Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun said: "I have reported this matter to Bei Di."
"The Emperor said that he has his own considerations on the matter of the Five Ghost Emperors. You have made a contribution by discovering the unusual phenomenon and reporting it."
"But you have also disguised yourself as the Northern Emperor's envoy before."
"The Emperor has also considered this matter."
The young Taoist bowed slightly and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It was done in a hurry."
"Even if you do it out of desperation, you still need to accept the punishment."
Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun seemed dignified, but he still smiled and replied: "The emperor said that you are not joking, let alone the Four Imperial Lords."
"Since you said so, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. From today on, you are the real envoy of the Northern Emperor! You will be in charge of the North Pole Exorcism Institute's affairs with the underworld. As for the Five Ghost Emperors, you will be in charge of the frontline confrontation. You must maintain the underworld and not cause chaos in life and death!"
"War means killing. We are the last line of defense. However, there are 72 ghosts and gods in the underworld. Once a battle occurs, the 72 ghosts and gods will be released, which will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the cycle of life and death. Therefore, we must not act lightly. Also, because the Five Directions Ghost Emperors were once subordinates of the Emperor, we must not kill them right away out of consideration for their old friendship."
He raised his hand again, and suddenly a stream of light flew directly towards Qi Wuhuo, and the sword returned to the young Taoist's hand.
Qi Wuhuo gripped the sword and felt the murderous aura of the blood river dissipate, or rather, converge.
Looking up again, I saw that the sword was made of the Blood River and the scabbard was made of the Yellow Spring.
However, at this moment, there were more strands of starlight on the scabbard, which turned into the image of the north and then into faint tassels on the hilt. The sword no longer had the previous murderous and madness, but instead carried a sense of grandeur and uprightness.
Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun smiled and said, "Because this is quite difficult, this is a treasure paid to you in advance."
"The Emperor is magnanimous. You were decisive in killing Donghua last time, and the Emperor was quite impressed. He wants to help you achieve success."
"Since this sword has the Blood River as its blade and the Yellow Spring as its sheath, I will add the Weak Water of the Heavenly River as its edge for you. It can be used as both a blade and a token, so that you can deal with the Five Ghost Emperors. This sword has been forged for the three major water spirit veins in the world, and you, the **demon, are the general who drives away evil spirits in the middle sky and the North Pole. It just needs your cultivation to improve."
"Holding this sword, you can command the north."
"All waters follow, suppress the netherworld!"
He held his arm again and walked out. Although he was a hundred times more difficult to deal with than the Tai Shang lineage, what this young Taoist had done was indeed enough to get him promoted. His merits were truly great and he could no longer be suppressed.
Xuandu, I understand your state of mind.
Great True Lord Tianpeng sighed with regret.
When the many gods outside heard the voice, they all stood up and looked over. They saw Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun standing there. He was tall, and even if he had recovered to his normal height, he was still more than two meters tall. He put his palm on the young Taoist's shoulder, with a solemn expression, holding a jade book, and said solemnly:
"The North Pole **demon in the middle sky, exorcising evil and beheading the emperor, breaking the calamity in the human world, and knowing the affairs of ghosts."
"Promotion based on merit."
"Promoted to the ninth rank of immortal official, appointed as the right judge of the North Pole Exorcism Institute, and concurrently in charge of the Exorcism Institute's staff."
Accumulate merit and get promoted in one day!
But when they looked at the files, everyone was amazed.
The world.
However, the young Taoist slowly opened his eyes, and the North Pole Exorcism Order in his hand had changed its appearance. There were faint thunder patterns on it, which increased its power. At this moment, he was the Right Judge and also the Officer of the Exorcism Institute. Under special circumstances, he could directly mobilize a certain degree of the Exorcism Institute's power for his own use.
There were even strong men several meters tall in the Heavenly Palace who carried huge pillars and went to prepare a courtyard for him to live in.
But the young Taoist has not yet decided where to live.
According to Great True Lord Tianpeng, wherever there are stars, a quiet place can be found to build a cave for him as an immortal official. The young Taoist wore the Zhongtian Beiji Judge's Token on one side, put the little peacock on his shoulder, and then used the earth's escape method to go look for Senior Sister Yumiao.
In his mind, he was thinking about what he was going to do next and the appointment to the Arctic Exorcism Institute.
The Exorcist House would not let him go to die, but it would definitely not be a mission without danger.
The reason for choosing him might be because he had told the Five Ghost Emperors that he was the Northern Emperor's envoy, so the Exorcism Institute simply regarded him as the real envoy. Fortunately, in the short term, the Exorcism Institute would not issue him the task of facing the Five Ghost Emperors, and he already had the "Original Ancestor Qi" in his hands. He hoped that he could solve the current problem through practice.
The young Taoist felt at peace, and suddenly he sensed a familiar breath.
He paused slightly and came out of the earth god's escape technique. He looked up and saw a man in a green shirt with an elegant temperament. He had white hair and was old. The young Taoist had a slightly strange look on his face. He realized that this old man was her lover whom he had met before at Senior Sister Yu Miao's place.
The young Taoist sensed a hint of death.
He subconsciously practiced the method taught by Yin De Ding Xiu Zhenjun and took a look.
But I saw that the old man's spiritual light was dimming, and his life was almost over.
The life span is about one month at most.
But why is he here? Where is my senior sister?
Thoughts emerged in the young Taoist's mind, and his heart was moved slightly, so he appeared, just in front of the path that the old man must pass, sitting cross-legged on the bluestone, holding a zither on his back and a sword in his hand. With a slight movement of his fingers, the sound of the zither came out, echoing through the woods. The old man was slightly startled, and was attracted over.
