Taixuandu Province, Taixuan Left Palace.
Zhenren Jieqing was directly recalled to the Heavenly Court from Fengdu by an imperial edict. Fang Jian guessed correctly that the Taixuandu Province was indeed planning to let Zhenren Jieqing serve as the new God of Baishijie.
"Your humble servant greets the Governor of Taixuandu Province." Zhenren Jieqing bowed to Zhenren Wenshi Yin Xi.
Wen Shi Zhenren sat on the bill and smiled slightly, then said to Jie Qing Zhenren: "No need to be so polite, fellow Taoist, please take a seat."
"Thank you, Envoy of the Capital Province." After expressing his gratitude, Zhenren Jieqing sat down on a sandalwood chair at the side.
After Master Jie Qing took his seat, Master Wen Shi looked at Master Jie Qing and said, "It has been a hundred thousand years since you took on the position of Heavenly Judge, hasn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhenren Jieqing immediately said, "One hundred and five thousand years."
Master Wenshi nodded slightly and said, "That's right. I summoned you back this time because I have an important task for you to shoulder."
Upon hearing this, Master Jieqing was startled, then immediately bowed and said, "Please allow the governor to give your instructions."
Zhenren Wenshi waved his hand, and the boy beside him immediately held up a jade scroll and handed it to Zhenren Jieqing.
After Zhenren Jieqing took the jade book, he began to read it at the instruction of Zhenren Wenshi. The jade book contained a detailed record of the Bai Shijie case.
After reading this, Master Jieqing, despite his good nature, couldn't help but fly into a rage, "This Lord Bai Shi truly deserves to die!"
Master Wenshi said, "Master Hongqing has captured them all and they are now being held in the Thunder Department. However, the positions of immortal officials in the White Stone Realm are mostly vacant, so we urgently need to appoint immortal officials to stabilize the lives of the people in the White Stone Realm."
Jie Qing Zhenren's expression eased slightly. Hearing that Fang Jian had gone to Bai Shi Jie to handle the matter, he felt relieved. But he quickly asked doubtfully, "Excuse me, Governor of the Capital Province, are you asking me to go to Bai Shi Jie?"
What he was thinking in his heart was that Taixuandu Province might transfer him to Baishi Realm this time to serve as a fourth-rank or third-rank immortal official and preside over some affairs of Baishi Realm.
But what Wenshi Zhenren said next shocked him. He only heard Wenshi Zhenren say: "After consultation with colleagues in Taixuandu Province, it has been decided to appoint you as the new Divine Lord of Baishi Realm, in charge of all affairs of Baishi Realm."
'call'
Zhenren Jieqing stood up from his chair and stared blankly at Zhenren Wenshi for a long while before asking in astonishment, "Appoint me as the new White Stone Divine Lord?"
"Yes." Master Wenshi nodded and said, "This proposal has been submitted to the Grand Envoy, and he has approved it."
"This..." Zhenren Jieqing's face was filled with daze and shock. He originally thought that being promoted two levels was already very good, but he didn't expect to be promoted directly to five levels.
But soon, Zhenren Jieqing felt an invisible pressure weighing heavily on his shoulders. A divine monarch of a realm governs a certain realm, which is equivalent to a vassal in the mortal world.
Zhenren Jieqing was shocked and excited, but also fell into deep panic. Could he really do well as this Divine Lord?
After calming down, Master Jie Qing could not help but say to Master Wen Shi: "Your Excellency, I have never had the experience of governing a region. In order not to disappoint the trust of the Grand Envoy and the other gods, this Lord Bai Shi..." At this point, Master Jie
The Taoist gritted his teeth and said, "Please choose another wise one."
"Hahaha." Upon hearing this, Master Wenshi couldn't help but laugh heartily. He then looked at Master Jieqing and said, "The Grand Emissary has already approved it. It's too late to change people now. I summoned you back this time to inform you, not to discuss it with you."
"This..." Zhenren Jieqing was speechless upon hearing this.
Compared with Fang Jian, who had been a land god and a mountain god, Jie Qing Zhenren relied on his practice and merits to become an immortal official. Since entering the Heavenly Court, he has been serving in the Heavenly Court and has never been in charge of a place outside.
He does lack experience in governing a region alone.
But Master Wenshi smiled and said, "Don't worry. The Three Realms Demon Subduing Marshal will select a deputy for you. He has extensive experience in governing, defending, and conquering regions. With him assisting you, you will surely be able to stabilize the situation in the White Stone Realm as soon as possible."
"Oh?" Zhenren Jieqing was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then asked, "Excuse me, Governor of the Capital Province, who is this person?"
...
"Promoted to the second-rank pacification general of the Baishi Divine Mansion, to assist the new Baishi Divine Lord in governing the Baishi world?" Yue Fei, the current fourth-rank secretary of Taixuandu Province, looked at Guan Yu, the Three Realms Demon Subduing Marshal who was sitting in the upper seat, and said in surprise.
Guan Yu stroked his long beard, looked at Yue Fei with a smile and said, "Why, do you have any doubts?"
Yue Fei said, "Your Excellency, Marshal Guan, I have just been promoted to the rank of Fourth Grade Secretary of the Taixuan Province for less than a hundred years. Now I have been promoted two levels higher to the rank of Second Grade General of Pacification. I am afraid that my talents and virtues are insufficient and I am not up to the task."
Guan Yu smiled faintly upon hearing this and said, "You don't have to worry. I recommended you to the Grand Envoy for the position of Second Rank General of the Baishi Divine Mansion, and the Grand Envoy has approved it. Don't refuse."
"This..." Yue Fei wanted to speak, but was stopped by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu said, "The newly appointed Lord Bai Shi is the Justice of the Heavenly Court, the True Man of the Heavenly God Realm. He is a good man and has no experience in ruling a region alone. Sending you to assist him is the result of careful consideration by me and my colleagues in Taixuan Province. You cannot refuse."
At this point, Guan Yu looked at Yue Fei with a serious face and said, "The people of Baishi Realm are suffering. This is not a simple promotion, but the well-being of hundreds of millions of lives in Baishi Realm is placed in your hands, Yue Wumu. Are you still going to refuse?"
When Yue Fei heard Guan Yu's words, he stood in awe and immediately bowed his head, saying, "I will do my utmost to assist the White Stone God in exorcising evil spirits, pacifying the people, spreading his power and virtue, and educating all living beings."
