Fang Jian returned to his original appearance and sat in the Yin Hall of Huacheng City God Temple. Below him were the Huacheng City God and his subordinates, as well as all the land gods, kitchen gods, etc. in the entire Huacheng area.
"Your Excellency Master Hongqing, starting from last month, we have been following Master Hongqing's orders to investigate and eavesdrop day and night. We have discovered that the sources of these rumors are very diverse. However, most of them are spread among the princes, nobles, gentry and powerful people within the territory of the Great Zhou, and then spread to the people in the countryside." The land gods and kitchen gods present all reported to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian asked, "Can we find the source?"
Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads and said, "No, there must be someone with profound cultivation behind these rumors, covering up for them."
At this time, the Huacheng City God said, "Master Hongqing, why don't you ask the Four Guardians and the Day and Night Wandering God?"
Fang Jian stroked his forehead and said, "Thank goodness you reminded me, otherwise I would have forgotten."
The City God and others below were speechless when they heard this. You can even forget these four important gods who patrol and monitor the sky. You are worthy of being the master of the Heavenly Court.
After receiving the reminder from the City God of Huacheng, Fang Jian immediately ordered the gods to go back and continue to strengthen supervision, and report to him immediately if they found anything.
Fang Jian then left the Huacheng City God Temple, flew back to the cave on a cloud, set up an incense table outside the cave, and began to cast spells and chant incantations to summon the four gods and the gods who wandered day and night.
As three wisps of green smoke rose, only about ten breaths later, six immortal lights fell from the sky.
In the fairy light, six tall and majestic gods stood in the clouds. From left to right, they are: Li Bing, the god of the year, Huang Chengyi, the god of the month, Zhou Deng, the god of the day, Liu Hong, the god of the hour, Gan Qiao, the god of day travel, and Liu Wen, the god of night travel.
"Ha..." Night Wandering God Liu Wen yawned, then bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Why did Master Hongqing think of summoning us today?"
Gan Qiao, the Sun-wandering God, laughed and said, "I thought that Master Hongqing had become the Judge of Heaven and had forgotten about us two little gods."
Fang Jian laughed and said with a bow, "I've been so busy that I don't have time to greet you two fellow Taoists. Please forgive me."
Now, if we go by the rank of immortal officials, Day and Night Wandering God are only seventh-rank immortal officials, two ranks lower than Fang Jian's fifth-rank immortal official.
But many accounts cannot be calculated in this way. Although the rank of the day and night wandering gods is low, their positions are very special. They are ordered by the Jade Emperor to patrol the four continents and record the good and evil deeds of the people. There is also a special place in the sky to store the records of the day and night wandering gods.
It can be seen from the "Temple of the Gods" that it is also a low-ranking but powerful position.
Night Wandering God Liu Wen yawned again and said, "Quick, quick, Master Hongqing, if you have anything to ask us, please ask us now. I need to go back to sleep after that. I'm so sleepy."
Fang Jian nodded with a smile, then bowed to the four gods on his left and said, "Your humble servant pays homage to the four gods."
The Four Guardians are different from the day and night wandering gods. Not only are their ranks higher than Fang Jian, but they are also immortal officials with positions in the Lingxiao Palace.
In other words, the Four Guardians are immortal officials who are qualified to hold court in the Lingxiao Palace, so Fang Jian naturally has to observe the etiquette of a lower official.
However, despite this, the current Four Guards did not dare to put on airs in front of Fang Jian, so they all returned the greetings and said, "Master Hongqing, there is no need to be so polite."
Afterwards, Fang Jian said to the six people: "Recently, rumors have been spreading widely in the Dongsheng Shenzhou Great Zhou, and most of them are against Nuwa and the gods of our heaven, and they have been deeply believed by the people. I have been investigating for many days, but I have not been able to find the person behind it.
Black Hand, may I ask if the Four Guardians and the Two Wandering Gods have found anything?"
When the six gods heard Fang Jian's words, they immediately took out the divine jade book to check.
But soon, the four guards closed the jade books in their hands. Then, the God of the Year, Li Bing, shook his head and said to the other party, "Our duty is to collect and pass on information internally. We will not record anything that has not been reported to the emperor... Perhaps the day and night wandering gods will have records."
Sun Wanderer carefully flipped through the scroll in his hand, then shook his head and said, "Master Hongqing, I do have records of mortals discussing these rumors, but they don't include the source. If Master Hongqing needs it, I can excerpt a copy for you."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian shook his head and said, "These records are useless to me, there is no need to excerpt them." After saying that, Fang Jian turned his gaze to the Night Wanderer again.
Night Wanderer Liu Wen had been flipping through the scroll. The contents of his scroll were much greater than those of the Day Wanderer. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard the Night Wanderer shout, "Got it!"
Fang Jian's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "Who is it?"
The Night Wandering God muttered, "On the sixth day of the ninth month, at three quarters past midnight, Qu Can, a pyrotechnic disciple of the Zhenyang Palace in Xingcheng Prefecture of the Great Zhou State, spread rumors and slandered Nuwa and the gods of the Thunder Department. I have recorded this in my notebook for future reporting."
"A disciple of the Fire Worker of the Zhenyang Palace?" Fang Jian was delighted, but then disappointed. He was delighted that there was indeed something wrong with the Zhenyang Dao Palace. He was disappointed that this person was just a disciple of the Fire Palace, not even an entry-level disciple. "Are there no higher-level disciples?"
Night Wanderer said helplessly: "Master Hongqing, don't you know that I, Night Wanderer, only monitor the good and evil deeds of the world, and cultivators are not included in the monitoring."
"..." Fang Jian thought for a moment, and finally said, "Are you a disciple of the Zhenyang Palace in Xingcheng Prefecture? Okay, then please trouble Yeyoushen to excerpt this for me."
"Okay." Night Wanderer nodded, and then gave this excerpt from the case file to Fang Jian.
The records of the night-wandering gods are very detailed, including not only the time and place, but even the spiritual light and shadow as evidence.
After Fang Jian received the evidence scroll, he immediately bowed to the Night Wanderer, then to the others, saying, "Thank you all for taking the time to help me. I'll definitely come and meet you when I'm free."
