"Senior Brother Yi?"

Ma Minghao was also stunned when he saw someone coming, this tall and broad-mouthed Taoist priest was Yi Mingzhang, the third disciple of the Yunlu Palace, a Taoist Xuangong had already cultivated the realm of gasification and divine consummation, although he was eighty years old, he still looked like a person in his forties, full of black hair, introverted, and unpredictable.

Xiao Er hurriedly got up from the small bench, and after sorting out his clothes, he said, "Yi Dao is good." ”

Although Yi Minghao is a disciple of Yunlu Palace and a monk in the upper realm, the main reason why Xiao Er is so respectful to him is that he is a director of the "Wenqu" department of recruitment and assessment in the Tianli Division, and Xiao Er just submitted an application for employment to the Tianli Division last month.

"You're welcome. Yi Mingzhang was graceful, without the slightest arrogance, and returned the salute to Xiao Er with a smile.

Ma Minghao didn't know where he had hidden the game console and headphones, so he also stood up and saluted at this time: "Senior brother is here, is there something wrong?"

Yi Minghao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I was originally going to ask my junior brother to find Xiao Xiaoyou, but I just saved a lot of effort when I met him today." ”

Xiao Er was stunned when he heard this: "Looking for me?"

After his mind turned a few times, his heart moved: "Could it be related to the Tianli Division?"

Tianli Division was established 40 years ago, in order to realize the Chinese "clan party co-governance of yin and yang" this concept and ad hoc functional departments, which is divided into "greedy wolf, giant gate, Lu Cun, Wenqu, Lian Zhen, Wuqu, broken army, left auxiliary, right Bi" and other nine departments, collectively known as Jiuyao, all-round management of the affairs of the monks and demons in the territory, in order to ensure social stability, its legislation is comprehensive, the law must be followed, the law must be strictly enforced, and the violation must be investigated, it is the ideal work unit for many young generations of qi practitioners.

"Xiaoyou is really smart, you come with me. Yi Mingzhang smiled slightly and motioned for Xiao Er to follow.

Xiao Er bowed his hand to Ma Minghao and followed Yi Mingzhang out of the side hall.

Although there is no smoke and fire in the cave, the layers of palaces are full of light, and the palaces are full of blue tiles and flying greens, all of which are rare for emperors in the world. Since ancient times, the cultivators on the mountain have been able to regard the wealth of the world as dung, which is nothing more than because of the infinite national power and people's power of the past dynasties, so that they have already become rich to the point of no return, and naturally they will no longer be tempted by waiting for idle gold and silver.

After turning a few floors of the corridor, Yi Mingzhang led Xiao Er to a side room, but it was a large conference room that was completely different from the outer palace, with a long row of conference tables in the middle, and three walls were neatly arranged large filing cabinets, with hundreds of vertical and horizontal grids, and the names were complex and numerous, and they could not be counted one by one.

Yi Mingzhang led Xiao Er to sit down, and then sat opposite Xiao Er and said with a smile: "How many years has Xiaoyou come to Sucheng to study?"

Xiao Er sat upright and replied, "Lao Dao is worried, it's been three and a half years." ”

In front of Yi Mingzhang, Xiao Er's age and cultivation realm are all juniors, but because Xiao Er's adoptive father and Ma Zhenren, the head of Yunlu Palace, have an equal relationship, Xiao Er is actually the same generation as Yi Mingzhang, Yi Mingzhang is called a little friend, and Xiao Er is not called his predecessor.

"What do you think of this Awacheng?"

"The treasure of the world, the outstanding people, is worthy of being the pearl of the south. Xiao Er said politely - Yunlu Dao Palace has been operating in Sucheng for many years, and the stability of the party before the founding of the country also depends on its protection with the protection of the Lushan Zen Academy, Xiao Er can never say to his face that the demons in this place are gathered, the supervision is lacking, and the crime rate is high in the country.

Yi Mingzhang bowed: "This place has been a prosperous and stable place in the southeast since ancient times, under the concentricity of the monks of the Zen Monastery and the ancestors of our sect, even in the troubled times, Sucheng is also called a paradise. In the past 30 years, thanks to the prosperity of the country, the development of Sucheng is changing with each passing day, and there is the Tianli Division to monitor the yin and yang, which can be described as a peaceful and prosperous era that has not been seen for thousands of years. ”

Xiao Er nodded slightly, waiting for Yi Mingzhang to follow.

"It's just that with the development of the times, there are always new contradictions in society, and the various laws of the Tianli Division may not be able to cover everything, some things are not quite the same as before, even if my generation feels that something is wrong, but it is inconvenient to intervene directly, what do you think?"

Speaking of this, Yi Mingzhang looked at Xiao Er, his eyes revealing the meaning of inquiry.

Xiao Er listened to the words, and then he realized that this Yi Daochang was here to catch the strong man.

"Listen to the Taoist chief's intentions, but what inconvenience has Su Cheng had recently?" Xiao Er naturally comprehended, and said, "I am studying and practicing here and taking care of the Dao Palace, if there is anything that can help, the Dao Chief can just command." ”

Yi Mingzhang smiled loudly: "Since Xiaoyou is quick to talk, then the poor road will also be blunt." ”

After that, Yi Mingzhang waved the sleeves of his robe, and saw a file bag fly out of the filing cabinet on the wall.

"This is an investigation report of the agent of the greedy wolf department, which mentioned that since the beginning of this year, there have been many thefts, pyramid schemes and property transfer cases in Sucheng City, which are suspected of being involved in the demon clan. ”

The file bag is neatly shaped, with no thickness at all, presumably only brief written material and no other evidence attached. Xiao Er's gaze swept over, and the agent's name written on it was "Chen Miaoyang", and the signature was "Forty-seven".

"This matter did have a bad impact, what happened later?" With the rapid development of modern society and the emergence of various technologies, the structure of power and wealth has become more and more complex, and the ways of cultivators and demons with strange arts have naturally become more and more.

Yi Mingzhang sighed: "This colleague of the greedy wolf died unexpectedly four days ago, and the investigation was interrupted, and the people and companies mentioned in the file have also become outcasts, leaving no traces. ”

"Accidental death?" Xiao Er said in surprise, "There are people killed or injured during the mission, the Tianli Division should pay more attention to this matter, how can the investigation be interrupted?"

"Do you know that this Agent Chen did not die during the investigation, but because of an old feud between his master, he died in a battle with a Taoist friend of the Kunlun faction. Yi Mingzhang sighed, "Even though the establishment of the Tianli Division is just, the members of the Tai Half are still those mountain cultivators who did not hesitate to overthrow Shenzhou for the sake of the view of the gateway a hundred years ago. People are in the rivers and lakes, and some things are unavoidable. But although Siren has passed away, the matter has to continue to be investigated, but it is difficult to find a suitable candidate for a while. ”

Xiao Er nodded, he had been familiar with the world's classics since he was a child, and he had traveled all over the various sects and sects in Shenzhou, and he probably knew a lot more about the inside story of the portal battles in the cultivation world than Yi Mingzhang, who had been practicing in the mountains behind closed doors for decades.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Er decided that there was something strange about this matter, and he couldn't help but see that Yi Mingzhang's gaze also changed: "The Taoist thinks highly of me, I have mediocre skills, and I am unknown, how can I help the Taoist Chief?"

"Xiaoyou is too modest," Yi Mingzhang said with a smile, "No one on the mountain knows that the two descendants of the Cangjie lineage today are both dragons and phoenixes among the people, and seven years ago, Brother Ling overwhelmed the head of the five veins of the South China Sea, and he was the power of Shenzhou. And three years ago, Xiaoyou defeated Li Zhenzhen's nephew of the Kunlun faction when he was just starting out, and then won 13 consecutive games in the Luofu Sword Club. ”

Xiao Er lowered his head a little embarrassed, but thought in his heart, this Taoist chief is still very discerning.

Then, Yi Mingzhang explained to Xiao Er that Wenqu was responsible for the selection and training of talents, and it was the responsibility of the greedy wolf to supervise the situation in various places, and since there was no suitable candidate to take over the case locally, a special process could be implemented, and the greedy wolf would send the case file to Wenqu, and then Wenqu would recommend the cultivators who were interested in joining the Tianli Division to complete it.

"I don't know what Xiaoyou wants?" Yi Mingzhang explained the complex bureaucratic system of the Tianli Division, and asked again.

A qi practitioner like Xiao Er has not had the same concept as the famous sects since ancient times, and he has passed down from generation to generation the ancient precept of "taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people", and this kind of thing naturally has to weigh the pros and cons.

But after all, Tianli Division is the work unit that Xiao Er has longed for since he was a child, so after thinking for a while, Xiao Er said: "Since the Taoist chief values it, it is incumbent on him. ”

"Xiaoyou understands the righteousness, and the poor Dao Dai Headquarters has thanked him. Yi Mingzhang seemed to know this, smiled slightly, and was about to get up to send him off.

Xiao Er suddenly asked, "By the way, there is still something to ask the Taoist chief for." ”

"Oh?" Yi Mingzhang was a little surprised, "What else is the matter with Xiaoyou?"

"Dao Leader is well-informed, I want to ask, twenty years ago, was there any demon saint who appeared in Sucheng and was very likely to be injured?"

Yi Mingzhang was stunned: "Why did Xiaoyou ask about this?"

"I'm just interested in exploring a piece of the past. Xiao Er didn't explain much, just looked at Yi Mingzhang.

"Ha, Xiaoyou really refuses to suffer. Yi Mingzhang shook his head and smiled, "That's it, presumably Xiaoyou has inquired about the information disclosed by the Tianli Division?"

The Taoist chief asked, presumably because there was still undisclosed information. ”

Yi Mingzhang thought for a moment, turned his gaze to a certain place in the filing cabinet on the east wall, and searched up and down before gently waving his sleeves, and the Dao Law took out another file bag from the inside.

"Twenty years ago, there was a demon saint who was born in the Immortal Demon Domain for some reason betrayed the Demon Domain, was seriously injured, and came to Sucheng. Yi Mingzhang's tone was flat, but what he said was a secret that no one had known about for twenty years, "This is a material dictated by the master and recorded by my own hands. ”

Twenty years ago, it was the time when the five demon domains and the co-governance of yin and yang were first decided, although the open and secret battles continued, a demon saint rebelled from the demon domain, whether it was to join the human race or to bring disaster to the world, it was a big deal, and then this news was completely blocked, and the statement of the thirty-six demon saints hundreds of years ago has been used to this day.

Xiao Er was stunned, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect to ask such a big secret, and then he was even more curious, Ma Zhenren, the head of Yunlu Palace, and the abbot of Zen Academy, Shenghui, were both monks in the realm of freedom who saw all beings sixty years ago, and with the magic weapon of the sect, the combination of the two Dao Buddhas is almost unrivaled in the world. The demon saint who needs to be seen by these two people together, who is sacred?

Opening the file bag, Xiao Er read it carefully.

And Yi Mingzhang and Yi Daochang were not in a hurry, they sat down leisurely on the side, took out a cup of tea from nowhere, and waited for Xiao Er while tasting tea.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Er thought about everything, then got up and handed the file back with both hands, and then said goodbye and left.

Yi Mingzhang put the document back in its place and sent Xiao Er to the outside of the gate.

He stood with his hands in his hands, looking at Xiao Er's departing figure, a Taoist robe fluttering in the wind, a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his face, and there seemed to be infinite clouds and mist in his eyes, which was unfathomable.

"Little friend, go all the way. ”
