Thinking of this, Fang Jian said with a satisfied look on his face, "I never thought that I, Fang Jian, would become a nouveau riche one day. Hmm, from now on, I won't have to wait for others to treat me to tea at the Four Heavenly Streets."
After doing all this, Fang Jian stood up, waved his hand to open the door, and then walked out of Fang Cun Ju.
When Fang Jian walked out of Fang Cun Ju, he suddenly saw five familiar figures standing outside. When the five figures saw Fang Jian coming out, they immediately surrounded him and shouted, "Master Hong Qing!"
Fang Jian looked at the five familiar faces in front of him, then bowed to each one and said, "Master Zhou, Master Qin, Master Guanghua, Master Shao, Master Ke, why are you here?"
These five people are none other than the five Heavenly Judges of the Heavenly Court, of course, they are the ‘original Heavenly Judges’ Zhou Zhao, Qin Yi, Guanghua, Shao Ling and Ke Mengqing.
"Master Hongqing, you are about to go to Xiniu Hezhou to take up your post, right?" Master Guanghua asked with a smile.
Fang Jian smiled and said, "It should still take some time."
"That's good." Ke Mengqing said, "It just so happens that the five of us haven't been assigned new positions yet. We're the only five people left in the court today, so it's a good opportunity for us to get together and have a drink of 'Hao San Liquor'."
Fang Jian was filled with emotion upon hearing this, "The Heavenly Court is gone just like that."
"Yes, it's gone." Master Qin Yi, who has always been indifferent, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
Shao Ling Zhenren's eyes were slightly red as he said, "I have served with you all for so long, and now we have to part ways so suddenly. Sigh! It really makes me sad."
Master Zhou Zhao patted Master Shao Ling on the shoulder and said, "Why are you so sad? Won't you all still be immortal officials in the Heavenly Court? Won't you still be colleagues? You just won't be working together anymore."
Master Guanghua said at this moment: "We are separated suddenly, but we should part ways amicably. Master Hongqing, let's choose a place and have a drink together."
Fang Jian nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay!"
The five immortals all looked at Fang Jian. Fang Jian thought carefully and finally said, "Let's go to the mortal world!"
"Ah?" When these words came out, the five real people were shocked at the same time.
Ke Mengqing said, "Master Hongqing, we don't have the duty to tour the world, and we're not judges in heaven right now. Wouldn't it be against the laws of heaven if we went to the mortal world?"
"Hahaha." Fang Jian laughed heartily and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Don't forget that I have the Jade Emperor's divine power. Besides, we're not going to the mortal world to get together, and we're not going to show off our power and disrupt the order of the mortal world, so what's the harm?"
After hearing Fang Jian's words, everyone felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Okay, then we'll listen to Master Hongqing."
...
In the southern continent, in the Tang Kingdom, in Luer Village, Bailu County, Nanzhou, in a small village courtyard.
"My good disciple, why haven't you served the food yet?!" In the main hall of the courtyard, a brand new eight-immortal table was placed there, with four equally brand new long benches placed on the four sides.
Fang Jian sat in the main seat on the north side, and the five real people, Zhou Zhao, Qin Yi, Guanghua, Shao Ling, and Ke Mengqing, sat in the east, west, and south positions respectively. Among them, Ke Mengqing sat alone in the south, opposite Fang Jian.
The wine on the table was originally ordinary wine, but when Master Shao Ling put the wine pill into it, it suddenly became spiritual wine.
"What a pity for my wine pill. It can only turn into spiritual wine after it is added into ordinary wine. If it were spiritual wine, it would become immortal wine." Shao Ling drank a bowl of spiritual wine, and then said with a look of regret.
When Ke Mengqing heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Old Shao, you need to change your temper. It didn't matter when you were a judge before, but if you go to work somewhere else and still drink like this every day, people will no longer give you face."
As soon as Ke Mengqing said this, Shao Ling's face was stunned, and then he became extremely lost. Even the other real people felt a little sad.
Fang Jian noticed that the atmosphere at the table was a little off, so he shouted a few times to Mei Xianzhang in the kitchen. In fact, there were already several plates of dishes on the table, but they hadn't figured out what they were eating yet.
Mei Xianzhang, wearing an apron and holding a spatula, ran to the kitchen door and looked at Fang Jian. He raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead and said, "Why are you rushing me? Aren't the people on the table finished eating yet? I'm still cooking. Don't rush me!"
After saying that, he turned around in a hurry and went to cook.
Seeing this scene, Master Guanghua on the side smiled and said to Fang Jian: "Master Hongqing, your disciple is very good."
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Of course. How could my disciple be bad?"
"The aptitude is a bit poor." Qin Yi Zhenren on the side said suddenly.
Fang Jian smiled in astonishment and said to Master Qin Yi, "You're really good at throwing cold water on me, but poor talent isn't a big deal. As long as he can inherit my ambitions in the future, that's all that matters."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the five immortals all looked at Fang Jian. Then Ke Mengqing asked, "Elder Master Hongqing, what is your ambition?"
Fang Jian slammed his hand on the table and said with emotion: "I punch the Daluo of Xuanmen and kick the Buddha of Lingshan. I hold power in my hands and carry the burden of all living beings on my shoulders."
As Fang Jian finished speaking, the entire Eight Immortals Table fell into silence. Fang Jian looked around and found that the five immortals all had dazed expressions.
But soon, the five immortals suddenly shouted "good", then raised their glasses and said: "Come, come, let us toast to the immortal Hongqing and wish him to realize his great ambition as soon as possible."
Fang Jian also smiled and raised his glass, and then the six of them drank it all in one gulp.
When he put down his wine glass, he saw Master Guanghua tapping the rim of the bowl with his chopsticks, then chanting loudly:
"When I became a god, I was full of ambition and high spirits. I obeyed the laws of heaven and followed the rules of heaven.
Millions of years have passed, and it's all in vain to retreat and give way.
I have never heard of any Taoist practitioners observing strict rules, nor have I seen any Buddhists respecting Tian Ao.
I pray that the laws of heaven will bring justice, and I am willing to give up my immortality and become a weed."
