Next came the second case file, submitted by a mountain god from the Southern Continent. It stated that a rare treasure had appeared on Dangfeng Mountain, where the mountain god resided. This treasure was multicolored, with a clear interior, and resembled a sword. However, no one could approach within a hundred feet of it, as it was protected by a barrier, and could only be viewed from afar. Fang Jian, upon seeing this, immediately asked Yang Wei, "Have you ever been to see this rare treasure on Dangfeng Mountain?"
Yang Xiu nodded and said, "I have seen it. I went to see it with the Yellow Turban Warrior. The treasure is indeed as the mountain god said. It is extremely magical and is protected by a barrier. No one can get close to it within a hundred feet."
"The Yellow Turban Warrior can't do it either?" Fang Jian asked. You know, the Yellow Turban Warrior has the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal. Yang Xiu said, "I once borrowed the magic power of the Dangfeng Mountain God to control the Yellow Turban Warrior, but the barrier was very strong and the Yellow Turban Warrior couldn't enter."
Fang Jian raised his eyebrows when he heard this. If that was the case, this strange treasure was really magical. "I understand." Fang Jian took the second case file into the Immortal Official Jade, and then opened the third case file. This third case file was submitted from the underworld, but the person who submitted this case file was a nominal one. Because the Three Realms Inspection Division has many channels for receiving lawsuits, almost all immortal officials from the super-grade to the ninth-grade can submit their cases to the Three Realms Inspection Division. There are not many such nominal cases. If the Three Realms Inspection Division really wants to investigate, it is not difficult to find out. But since it was submitted in a nominal name, the Three Realms Inspection Division does not mention it. The content of this lawsuit from the underworld is... It's quite interesting. To sum it up, the gods in the underworld have no sympathy at all for the endless work. Even on their days off, there are not as many living beings as in the Three Realms. The ghost soldiers and ghost messengers in the underworld are constantly detaining souls... Even the immortal officials can't stand it. At the same time, he also said in the lawsuit that being on duty in the underworld is simply unbearable for the soldiers and ghost messengers, and they began to think of all kinds of ways to be lazy, and even bribe people to make up for themselves. Then he also listed a lot of extra working hours on the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers in the underworld, and Kaijiang Qukou Erjie was willing to uphold justice for them. The low-level immortal officials in the underworld are also immortal officials. Can't the heaven understand their hard work?
Seeing the resentment that was about to come out of the complaint, Fang Jian couldn't help but smile knowingly, as if he remembered the hard days of "working overtime" on Earth. It seems that this situation is not only faced by mortals, but also exists in the system of immortal officials in the heavenly court. However, this complaint also seems to mention that the ghost soldiers and ghost messengers accepted bribes from the living. Fang Jian attached great importance to this matter. This was almost a violation of the heavenly rules. But when he thought of the situation described in this complaint, Fang Jian decided to conduct a detailed investigation first. Fang Jian put all three case files into the immortal official jade, then stood up from the chair and said to Yang Xiu, "Master Yang, I will go down to the mortal world to deal with these three case files. The affairs of the Three Realms Inspection Office will be handed over to you. Yang Xiu heard this and said, "Master Qing, you just returned from the mortal world. Don't you want to rest for a few days before going? Fang Jian smiled and said, "Things can't wait for anyone. Besides, I have become an immortal. Even if I stay awake for thousands of years, it won't be a big deal."
Yang Xiu smiled. What Fang Jian said was true. After becoming an immortal, one had already left the mortal world and achieved an immortal body. Rest or not was no longer important. However, cultivators like him who had not yet become immortals still had to sit and rest from time to time to adjust their state of mind. If they worked for a long time without sleep, they might become physically and mentally exhausted, have distracting thoughts, and even go astray. Yang Xiu sent Fang Jian out of the Three Realms Inspection Office. When he saw the Third Prince sitting in the clouds, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed in admiration: "He is truly a god. Is this the Jade Sky Pegasus?"
Seeing Fang Jian coming out, the Third Prince immediately stood up from the ground. Hearing Yang Xiu's praise, he couldn't help but raise his head proudly. Fang Jian smiled and said, "Yes, it is Yuxiao Tianma."
After saying this, Fang Jian held the rope with one hand and said to Yang Xiu: "Master Yang, the nine new guardian gods are the demon cultivators I brought out from the outer world. They may still have some demonic habits. Master Yang, please teach them some things about the heavenly court. Yang Xiu smiled and said: "Even if the inspector didn't say this, I would do the same."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Master Yang, don't worry. I have repeatedly told them that they must obey Master Yang's orders in everything. If Master Yang needs to employ others, you can assign these nine people. There is no need to worry."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiu was immediately delighted and said, "Your Excellency, the Inspector has given such thoughtful consideration. I admire you deeply."
Fang Jian had already flown onto the Third Prince's back. Upon hearing Yang Xiu's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "No need to say more flattery. Taking care of the affairs of the sentient beings in the Three Realms is more important than anything else."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiu immediately responded in a solemn voice: "Yes, this subordinate will obey your orders." The Jade Sky Horse came riding on the clouds and landed on the mortal world. Butterflies flew around the colorful Dangfeng Mountain. Inside the main hall of the Mountain God's Mansion, the Dangfeng Mountain God was drinking and chatting with a group of demon cultivators. From time to time, they laughed heartily while chatting. And the three generals under the Dangfeng Mountain God: the Patrol General, the Divide Mountain General, and the Protector Mountain General were playing cards in the courtyard of the Mountain God's Mansion. Yes, they were playing cards. The three of them sat in a circle around the stone table, staring intently at the jade cards in their hands... They were playing the most popular "Immortal Card House" in the Floating World recently. It is said that it was first spread from Tianhe Square. There are five categories of immortal cards, namely: Heavenly Court Cards, Taoist Cards, Buddhist Cards, Demon Clan Cards, and Outer Demon Cards. Among them, Heavenly Court Cards are the main ones, followed by Taoist, Buddhist, Demon Clan, and Outer Demon Cards. Each of them selects key figures to make jade cards. The rules include the top jade cards have three , representing the 'Great Celestial Venerable', 'Taoist Ancestor', and 'Buddha Ancestor' respectively. Below them were figures from various parties, arranged according to the authority and power each figure represented. The lowest level of the five categories of cards were: Heavenly Soldiers, Ghost Messengers, Taoist Priests, Sand, Monsters, and Demon Disciples. At this moment, the three generals of the Mountain God's Mansion were playing jade cards made of green jade. These jade cards were very thin, with the figures' portraits, names, and introductions painted on the front, and a layer of green-gold divine light cast on the back to prevent the other party from seeing them. Fang Jian placed the Third Prince on a pine tree outside the Mountain God's Mansion, then floated into the courtyard of the Mountain God's Mansion. At this moment, the three patrol generals were so engrossed in playing cards that they didn't notice Fang Jian's arrival. Fang Jian also stood behind the Royal Mountain General with curiosity, looking at the stone table. He saw the patrol general draw out seven jade cards and throw them down, shouting, "Continuous, the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper!"
