Wuqiao Ridge has been empty since the Black Crow Mountain King and his people moved to Lingxia Mountain.
Fang Jian walked in the forest of Wuqiaoling Mountain, looked at the magical herbs growing under the shade of the ancient trees, and nodded slightly.
Wuqiao Ridge is rich in spiritual energy, making it not only a good place for cultivation, but also a good place for spiritual medicine to grow.
He walked around Wuqiao Ridge, but did not pick any spiritual herbs. One reason was that they could not use them for the time being, and the other was that those spiritual herbs were growing very well, and it would be a pity to pick them now.
After learning about the situation in Wuqiao Ridge, Fang Jian stayed here and lived in the cave where the King of Black Crow Mountain used to live, practicing.
Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Nothing happened in Yangxia County during this month, but there was an endless stream of people going to the land temple to burn incense, which made Fang Jian accumulate sufficient incense and vows.
However, today Fang Jian was awakened by the Immortal Official Jade Disc. It turned out that the new Yangxia County Magistrate had arrived, and on the first day in office he brought the county yamen runners to worship the land temple.
Fang Jian used the ray of divine consciousness left in the temple to look outside. He saw the beating of gongs and drums, the statue of the land god draped with red silk, and firecrackers blasting off Qingping Mountain.
The new county magistrate was very young, with a handsome and well-proportioned appearance. He made a very good first impression, and was humble and elegant.
Later, from the land sacrifice text read by the county magistrate, Fang Jian learned the origin of the new county magistrate and Zi Zhengguo's handling of the Gou De'an incident.
The new county magistrate was a newly-appointed Jinshi from Zizheng State last year. This time, Gou De'an suffered retribution, so he took up the position.
As for the matter of Gou De'an, the City God of Qianyun Prefecture appeared in a dream to the Emperor of Zizheng Kingdom, who informed him of the matter in detail. The Emperor of Zizheng Kingdom then ordered the prefect of Qianyun Prefecture to verify the matter before taking any action.
Gou De'an was stripped of all his official positions and honors, and was sentenced to confiscation of property and beheading. Since he was already dead, only Gou De'an's property was confiscated.
This incident was not a big deal in the court of Zizheng Kingdom, but a county magistrate was so crazy that he wanted to demolish the land god temple and finally suffered retribution. This is an extremely cautionary event.
Therefore, before the new county magistrate took office, his mentor and his superiors had already instructed him to worship the land god first.
So we have the scene we see today. With the new county magistrate taking office and worshiping the land god temple, the people of Yangxia County, who had been restless recently, finally calmed down.
At the same time, the county magistrate's personal worship also increased Fang Jian's incense and vows ten times more than those of ordinary people.
Fang Jian was very satisfied, but he did not return to the Earth God Temple on Qingping Mountain. Instead, after the county magistrate offered sacrifices, he sat in meditation again to practice. He must not waste the rich spiritual energy of Wuqiao Ridge at any cost.
...
Heavenly Palace, Taixuan Province.
As the exclusive residence of the Jade Emperor, Taixuandu Province has unparalleled authority in the Heavenly Court.
The Taixuandu Province is divided into "Wenlin" and "Wulin". Wenlin is in charge of articles, books, and etiquette, while Wulin is in charge of punishing evil and killing.
They also promoted people according to their deeds and achievements. When they were alive, they were called "remote honors", and when they died, they were officially appointed. This was the normal rule.
Those born with extraordinary abilities and achievements, whose names are recorded in the Mysterious Records and appointed by the True Saints, are usually appointed with the proper title. Those appointed through good fortune, whose souls and spirits reside in the ranks, judge the laws of heaven in dreams. Those who reside in the records of ghosts and gods, secretly control the laws of heaven, possess keen hearing and vision, and whose hearts are at par with heaven and whose spirits are in harmony with the underworld, are also appointed with the proper title, each with a rank.
In short, the appointment, promotion, demotion, and conquest of the immortal officials in the Heavenly Court all come from the Taixuandu Province, which can be said to be the Prime Minister's Office of the Heavenly Court.
The commander-in-chief of Taixuan Province is the great goddess Jiutian Xuanyang Yuannu Shengmu, who is both civil and military among the gods, also known as "Jiutian Xuannu Niangniang".
In the Xuanfu Immortal Palace, the Queen Mother of the West was wearing a nine-colored robe and a pure lotus crown on her head. She was surrounded by rosy light and golden clouds were rolling beneath her.
"Your Majesty, I understand that the governor of Taixuandu Province and the chief director of Taixuandu Province are waiting to see you outside the hall." A boy walked in from outside the hall filled with fairy light and bowed to the Queen Mother of the West.
The envoy of Taixuandu Province is the chief official of the literary field of Taixuandu Province, and the director-general of Taixuandu Province is the chief official of the martial field of Taixuandu Province. One is a civil official and the other is a martial official. They jointly assist the Queen Mother of the West in managing Taixuandu Province.
The two chief officials were also famous gods. The envoy of Taixuandu Province was Yin Xi, the Taoist Master of Wenshi, and the chief director of Taixuandu Province was Guan Yu, the Marshal.
The Lady of the Nine Heavens opened her eyes, a clear and ethereal light flashed across them, and then she spoke softly, "Announce."
"The Jade Edict of the Lady of the Nine Heavens announces the arrival of the Grand Envoy and the Grand Director of the Taixuan Metropolitan Province."
As the boy sang loudly, two tall figures walked into the Xuanfu Immortal Palace with firm steps.
The Taoist Master Wenshi on the left is wearing a seven-star Taoist robe, with a crane-like figure and an immortal-like posture. He wears a fishtail crown on his head and has a kind and gentle face.
Marshal Guan on the right is wearing golden armor inside and a battle robe with civil and military sleeves outside. He is tall, with a red face and long beard, and looks majestic.
After the two entered the main hall, they bowed to the Lady of the Nine Heavens and said, "Greetings to the Great Lord."
The Lady of the Nine Heavens nodded slightly, then said to Marshal Guan, "Have you caught the Four-Eyed Demon King?"
The Four-Eyed Demon King is the leader of the three demons in the ancient cave of Xihuazhou in Beijuluzhou, and is also one of the big demons who attacked Master Yu of Simingyuan this time.
This time, the Heavenly Court sent the Deputy Weisheng Zhenren of Taixuandu Province to lead the heavenly soldiers to Beijuluzhou to capture the three monsters of the ancient cave, but they only caught two of the three big monsters: "Yuan Cang Monster King" and "Jue Tuo Monster King" and their subordinate monsters.
But the leader, the 'Four-eyed Demon King', took the 'Book of Birth' and went into hiding. Hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals searched the earth but could not find his whereabouts.
If they fail to capture the Four-Eyed Demon King and retrieve the Book of Life, the Heavenly Army will have to remain stationed there.
Hearing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's question, Marshal Guan reported, "Reporting to the Grand Master, the Four-Eyed Demon King is very likely still hiding in Xihua Province, perhaps even under the protection of the 'Part of the Nine Caves' demon clan in Xihua Province. However, his secrets are concealed, making it extremely difficult to find his whereabouts."
