After the six monks who sold fake elixirs were escorted to Tianhefang and each sentenced to five hundred years in Lei Ze, the gods in the entire Penglai Tianjie suddenly became much more well-behaved and orderly.
Now Fang Jian only needs to take a walk around Penglai Tianjie every day to deter a group of villains.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed. One day, Fang Jianzheng came out of Mingsu Garden and reported for duty at the Penglai Tianjie Inspection Office.
As soon as I reached the lobby door, I saw the patrol captain Su Ye standing there, seemingly waiting for someone.
Fang Jian walked to the door, bowed to Su Ye, and then prepared to enter the lobby.
But at this moment, Su Ye said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, please stay."
Fang Jian stopped, turned his head and looked at Su Ye and said with a smile: "Captain Su, what's the matter?"
Su Ye hesitated for a moment, then said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, a great man from Mount Shu wishes to see you."
"Shushan?" Fang Jian frowned and said, "Shushan has many sects, including Taoism and Buddhism. Which sect in Shushan is this great master you are talking about?"
The Shu Mountain here refers specifically to the Shu Mountain in Shu County of the Tang Dynasty in Nanzhanbuzhou. It has been a holy place for spiritual practice since ancient times.
However, Shushan is just a general term, not a single family name. Ultimately, Shushan is a continuous mountain range with countless cultivators and sects practicing within it, and anyone can claim to be a Shushan cultivator.
"It's Master Situ from the Shushan Sword Controlling Sect." Su Ye said.
"The Sword Controlling Sect?" Fang Jian heard this and the information about the Sword Controlling Sect immediately emerged in his mind.
Then Fang Jian said, "This Yujian Sect specializes in the art of wielding swords. Their mission is to slay demons and monsters, and they have a chivalrous spirit. I heard the sect's headmaster is called 'Sword Saint', is that correct?"
Su Ye nodded and said, "Yes, he is called the Sword Saint, and he is indeed the Sword Saint. It is said that this person's sword-controlling skills have reached perfection and are unmatched in this sword-controlling skill."
"So he's still just a Golden Immortal?" Fang Jian asked.
Su Ye nodded and said, "Exactly. The Master Situ who wants to see you is the Sword Saint's junior brother, and also a Golden Immortal."
"What does he want to see me for?" Fang Jian asked.
Su Ye shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. I just happened to meet him while patrolling the streets that day, so he asked me to ask you. If you are free, he would like to invite you to meet him at the Moon-Lanyue Pavilion in Zuixian Tower."
Fang Jian nodded slightly when he heard this and said, "Since you want to see me, there's no harm in meeting me. Tell him that I'm free tonight."
"Okay, Master Hongqing." Su Ye responded.
Suddenly, Fang Jian seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Wait a moment."
Su Ye raised his head and looked at Fang Jian, saying, "What's wrong? Does Master Hong Qing have anything else to say?"
Fang Jian said, "Tell him that I have no merit and do not need to eat and drink. If he wants to arrange a banquet, he doesn't need to. If he really wants to prepare these fine wines and delicacies, let him pay for it and enjoy it himself."
"..." When Su Ye heard this, he was speechless.
But she quickly came to her senses and sighed that this Master Hongqing really abided by the laws of heaven and was incorruptible.
How could the famous Master Hongqing, a fourth-rank official of the Taixuan Province, the god of justice, not have this merit?
Of course not, it’s just that people don’t want to be extravagant or wasteful, and they don’t want to accept bribes.
Thinking of this, Su Ye felt extremely ashamed. It seemed that he still needed to learn from Master Hongqing!
Of course, what she certainly could not have imagined was that the famous Master Hongqing in front of her was indeed a pauper in terms of merit.
...
Immortal officials are on duty full-time. They can ask for leave if they have something to do, but as long as they don’t ask for leave, it is assumed that they are always on duty.
valley
However, there are differences. According to the Earth calendar, the immortal official starts to report to the office at the hour of Mao, and then the next eight hours (16 hours) are your compulsory working time.
That is to say, from the hour of Mao to the hour of Xu, the immortal officials must perform their duties and responsibilities within these eight hours. During this period, they must strictly abide by the duties of the immortal officials. If something goes wrong during this period and you are not present, you will be punished for dereliction of duty.
After the hour of Xu, that is, from the hour of Xu to the hour of Yin, you can do other things or relax during these four hours. During these four hours, even if something happens and you fail to arrive in time, you will not be charged with dereliction of duty.
At the time of Xu, Fang Jian returned to the Inspection Office to report the event. Reporting the event means that the immortal official records all the events of the day, writes them into a report and submits them at the time of Xu.
If nothing happens, you can write "Nothing today", then stamp it with your own seal of the Immortal Official Jade Disc and submit it. This is also a kind of "attendance".
After the day of the dog, Fang Jian, the chief official Wang Yao, patrol captain Zhang Lou, Li Fan, Su Ye, and Hong Ling of Qi walked out of the inspection office together.
"Master Hongqing, are you really not going?" 涶紅靈 asked Fang Jian, "I'm treating you to a vegetarian feast today."
Su Ye also said: "Master Hongqing, you can meet Master Situ tomorrow. I'll just go and tell him. This vegetarian banquet cannot be missed."
"Yes." Wang Yao, the head of the banquet, also said to Fang Jian, "This vegetarian banquet is the unique skill of the Buddhist monk Yongzhi. The ingredients used are the precious mountains and rivers from the Xumi Buddha Kingdom. It's rare that Hong Ling is treating us today, so you should come along."
Everyone stared at Fang Jian intently. Fang Jian thought for a moment, then said to Hong Ling, "It's not that I don't give my colleague face. Since I've already agreed to meet him today, I can't go back on my word. I hope Fellow Daoist Hong Ling won't blame me."
