"Your Excellency, the City God, the immortal who requested to see you outside the temple has arrived." Judge Wen reported to the Jimo City God who was sitting above him.
The Jimo City God, seated at the head of the high throne, bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Where has your name come from, sir? What brings you to my Jimo City God Temple?"
Fang Jian summoned the Golden Talisman of Heavenly Law, and in an instant the golden light of the talisman illuminated the entire Yin Palace.
"I am Fang Jian from the Heavenly Court. I have come here specifically for the case you submitted." Fang Jian said calmly.
The Jimo City God at the head suddenly stood up, looking at the Tianlu Golden Talisman in shock. He then hurriedly stepped out of the large desk, quickly walked down the hall, and bowed, saying, "The Jimo City God pays his respects to Master Hongqing. I apologize for not welcoming Master Hongqing in person. I beg your forgiveness."
The surrounding ghost generals and underworld officials also bowed down and said, "Greetings to Master Hongqing."
The Jimo City God quickly stepped forward and extended his hand to invite him: "Master Hongqing, please take a seat."
"There's a difference between the primary and the secondary. How can we confuse them?" Fang Jian put away the Golden Talisman of Heavenly Law and said, "City God, please take the seat. I will take the second seat."
Seeing Fang Jian's solemn expression, the City God of Jimo knew that the judge was not being modest when he said this, so he could only bow and acknowledge, then led Fang Jian to the steps of the hall. The City God of Jimo sat in the main seat, and Fang Jian sat in the second seat.
After taking his seat, Fang Jian took out the case book handed over by the Jimo City God and used his magical power to bring it to him, saying, "Has this case been properly handled now?"
The Jimo City God took the case file and took a look at it, then shook his head and said, "Master Hongqing, I, the Jimo City God Temple, cannot handle this case."
Fang Jian asked, "The Dragon Girl of the East China Sea Dragon Palace married a mortal without permission. Have you reported this to the Dragon Palace?"
The Jimo City God sighed and said, "We once sent people to the East China Sea, but they were driven out before they even entered the Dragon Palace."
Fang Jian added, "What is the Dragon Girl's current situation? Please tell me quickly."
The Jimo City God nodded and said, "That Dragon Girl is the nineteenth daughter of the East China Sea Dragon King. She was born with the body of a Jade Dragon and is now a True Immortal. She first appeared in Jimo City six years ago and became friends with Qiu Lian, the son of Jimo City Governor Qiu Rui. However, she returned to the East China Sea Dragon Palace a few months later and has not appeared since. However, four years ago, the Governor's son Qiu Lian held a grand wedding. I didn't think much of it at the time, but two years ago, Jimo City was dry and rainless. I also know that the Heavenly Court had not issued a decree for rain. However, suddenly, a strong wind arose at night, and heavy rain poured down. I found it strange, so I went out to take a look and saw a silver dragon in the clouds, bringing wind and rain. In a single hour, the drought in Jimo Prefecture was lifted."
"Later, the son of this prefect, Qiu Lian, and his wife went to the Guanyin Temple to pray for a child. When they passed by the City God Temple, I took a special look and found that Qiu Lian's wife was the Dragon Girl of the East China Sea." Jimo City God said slowly.
Fang Jian asked, "Has fellow Daoist ever had any contact with this East Sea Dragon Girl?"
The Jimo City God said, "I have met her several times, and each time I have advised her not to be attached to worldly affairs, but she never listens."
Fang Jian nodded and said, "Has she done anything evil in Jimo City?"
The Jimo City God shook his head and said, "That's not the case. It's just that she often brings rain when there's drought. Although this ensures good weather and good harvests in Jimo year after year, it's ultimately against the laws of Heaven, so it's difficult for me to deal with her. Furthermore, she possesses the magical powers of a True Immortal. Even if the Jimo City God Temple wanted to intervene, it's powerless. We can only submit a petition and wait for Heaven's decision."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian immediately stood up and said, "I'm aware of this matter. Leave it to me to handle."
The Jimo City God quickly stood up and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Hongqing."
Fang Jian waved his hand and left the City God Temple.
After Fang Jian left, the judges and ghost generals present finally breathed a sigh of relief. Judge Wen then said, "With this True Man Hongqing taking action, the Nineteen Dragon Ladies are in trouble."
The Jimo City God also sighed and said, "Since I have discovered this matter, I cannot ignore it. Reporting it is my duty."
Judge Wu said, "I don't think anything will happen to the Nineteenth Dragon Girl. After all, she is the daughter of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. Master Hongqing must be considerate of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, right?"
Judge Wen glanced at Judge Wu and said, "You're overthinking it. If it were any other Heavenly Judge, they might have given the Dragon King of the East China Sea some face, but this Master Hongqing...you've forgotten that he even dared to offend the Buddhist sect."
The Jimo City God finally said, "Fortunately, the nineteen dragon ladies didn't do anything evil or violate the rules of the world, otherwise it would be hard to say."
...
Yuzhu Garden is located in Shuangqing Street, east of Jimo City.
This is the residence of Qiu Lian, the son of Jimo prefect, and his wife Shi Jiuniang. Qiu Lian and Shi Jiuniang are truly a perfect match. Not only are they both talented and beautiful, but they both love to do good deeds and help the poor.
Especially Shi Jiuniang. If there were beggars or refugees in Jimo City, she would definitely go there to provide them with porridge and relief. She was well-known among the people of Jimo City.
At this moment, in the Baihua Pavilion in the backyard of Yuzhu Garden, a perfect couple, a man and a woman, were sitting in the pavilion.
The woman was wearing a frosty skirt embroidered with feathers. She had a beautiful face, as bright and beautiful as peony and peach blossoms.
The man was wearing a green robe embroidered with bamboo, his hair tied up with a scarf, and his face was elegant and gentle.
These two people were none other than Qiu Lian and Shi Jiuniang.
Shi Jiuniang was painting. She used her white brush to sketch lightly and her fair wrist to outline. On the scroll, flowers were clustered together and hundreds of butterflies were flying. It was like a jade brush depicting the beauty and her white hands holding the flying butterflies.
After finishing a painting of flowers and butterflies in a small courtyard, Shi Jiuniang looked up at Qiu Lian beside her. With bright eyes and white teeth, she handed the brush to him with a charming smile, "Husband, write an inscription for me."
The fragrant breeze was captivating. Even though they had been married for more than four years, Qiu Lian found that he was still unconsciously obsessed with his wife when he looked at her.
"Okay." Qiu Lian took the paintbrush with a smile, and Shi Jiuniang immediately took a step back.
