Chapter 38, Choosing an Apprentice and Worshipping Priest IV
"Ningshang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Elder Wu Da was led by the deacon to the table, and arched his hand at Elder Ning Shang with a smile.
"Elder Wuda. Elder Ning Shang's voice was soft, and he greeted Elder Wu with a smile, and his attitude was very gentle.
Although there is a first-level difference in honor between the two, as long as there are no accidents, Elder Wu Da will definitely be able to step into the ranks of the Taishang. This is because whether or not to become a supreme is actually only a matter of the wishes of the great elders themselves. When one day, a certain Great Elder feels that he has found a suitable successor and is willing to release his authority safely, he will naturally be able to ascend to the throne and become the Supreme One. Because of this, Elder Ning Shang would not put on a high posture in front of Elder Wu.
Elder Wu greeted the other Great Elders on the side one by one before sitting down.
The handyman standing next to him immediately served tea.
Elder Wu picked up the tea bowl, took two sips, raised his head and looked left and right, but saw that Great Elder Huyan and Great Elder Murong were talking with each other, and Great Elder Li and Great Elder Jin were also talking happily, so they turned sideways and chatted with Elder Ningshang.
"Elder Ning Shang is so interested, I've watched two issues here, right?
Hearing this, Elder Ning Shang shook his head and smiled, "At this age, how can you still have the heart to compete with you young people?" But looking at these juniors, I just think back to my own time. ”
Elder Wu also smiled when he heard this, and he felt the same way in his heart. Decades of ups and downs, at this time, it seems that those youthful years are full of long-lasting sweetness.
"Ning Shang has left the customs this time, do you still have plans to enter the customs in the near future?"
Elder Ning Shang shook his head, and sighed a little: "At this age, no matter how much potential you have, it has already been exhausted, if you don't have an opportunity, I'm afraid it's like this, and it is useless to retreat again, but it's just a matter of dragging this remnant life for a few more days." ”
Elder Wu was still in the prime of life at this time, and he was at the peak of his life, so he didn't have a deep understanding of Elder Ningshang's words, so he nodded in response to the situation, and said with a smile as if he had no intention of winning: "I heard that Ji Shang has entered the customs again?"
Hearing Elder Wu mention Elder Jishang, Elder Ning Shang nodded, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Lord Ji has occasional gains. I don't know if I can go to the next level this time. ”
His voice was indifferent, and he said slowly, and his tone did not fluctuate much, as if Elder Ji Shang was just following the routine this time. However, this sentence fell into the ears of Elder Wuda, but it made him terrified.
Ji Ning has always been a good friend, and Elder Ning will say this, which shows that Elder Ji Shang is very likely to make another breakthrough this time, and that is......
Elder Wu suddenly felt that his throat and eyes were a little dry.
He grabbed the tea bowl in front of him, and poured it into the sky, but he still couldn't suppress the vibration in his heart, and even his face couldn't help but bring out a little strangeness.
Elder Ji Shang has not entered the customs for many years, and there is a lot of speculation among the great elders about this retreat. Elder Wu asked, although he had the intention of inquiring into the inside story, he did not expect that Elder Ning Shang would actually give such a clear and shocking answer.
Taking advantage of the fact that the handymen on the side came over to refill the water, Elder Wu Da regrouped his mind, looked left and right, and found that his conversation with Elder Ning Shang's Shicai did not attract the attention of others, and his heart was a little relieved. After all, this matter is very important, and it is not a quasi-believe, and it is okay for the Great Elder to spread the word among the elders, and the rest of the people who know about it can be one less.
Seeing that Elder Ning Shang slowly sipped the hot tea in his hand, he was still as calm as usual, and knew that the other party was willing to really understand this sentence, which was already a great face, but he didn't want to ask more, so he changed the topic and chatted with Elder Ning Shang about some interesting things that had happened in the palace recently.
"It's almost time!" After chatting for a while, Elder Wu raised his head and looked at the sky outside the hall.
Elder Ning Shang also glanced out, nodded, and said, "It's almost." ”
……
Amai let go of his hand on the windowsill and fell to the ground.
Seeing that everyone by the window was looking back at him, he explained softly: "It's almost time, I have to go back first." ”
The corners of Abu's lips lifted slightly.
All along, Amai has been showing a very playful appearance. Unexpectedly, when he really took on his duties, he would not be able to rely on the protection of Deacon Yu and the care of other miscellaneous servants, and he would not neglect his duties. This alone is not easy for a child of Amai's age.
Abu took Amai by the hand and led him to the corner of the cloister of the Rim Temple.
Further down, he couldn't send them - the five of their disciples who had participated in the apprenticeship were ordered to wait here.
Only at the right time will someone lead them into the temple.
Amai turned around and was about to say goodbye to Ab when a gray shadow suddenly burst into his eyes.
A person turned out of the back of the hall and suddenly came along the corridor, and in the blink of an eye, he approached the corridor where several disciples who participated in the apprenticeship ceremony were located.
Amai saw the man's description clearly at a glance, his body shook, and he whispered, "Eunuch Min?"
"Eunuch Min?" Abu faced Amai and couldn't see the person who came suddenly behind him, and when he heard Amai crying out in a low voice, he subconsciously asked a rhetorical question. Before the words fell, the figure of the man had already passed in the corner of his eye.
"One of the twelve supervising deacons under the Archdeacon. Amai turned to look at the figure, his expression a little serious.
There are three divisions and one courtyard of the Demon Palace.
Three Divisions: Internal Affairs Division, Foreign Affairs Division, Criminal Law Division.
First House: Deacon's House.
Except for the part of the Deacon's Academy, the power of the Great Elders almost covers the entire Three Divisions, most of the Deacon's Academy, and actually controls every decision of the Demon Palace.
As the true master of the Demon Palace, the palace master does not interfere in the mundane affairs of the palace on weekdays, and his will is completely embodied in one person - that person is the archdeacon. The chief deacon is in charge of the Chengguang Palace, and he controls the twelve supervising deacons, who are responsible for inspecting and supervising the affairs of the palace. Once any suspicious points are discovered, after reporting to the Archdeacon, obtaining permission, and issuing a handwritten letter, the 12 Supervising Deacons have the power to conduct a thorough investigation of any of the three divisions and one court, and their powers and responsibilities are extremely great.
It's just that......
It may not be surprising that there are overseer deacons anywhere, but since the establishment of the Demon Palace, there has never been a hearing of an overseer deacon appearing at the apprenticeship ceremony.
After all, the apprenticeship is just a ritual. It is their freedom for the elders and deacons to accept whoever they like to be their disciples. Even if there are really some twists and turns, and even the disciples accepted by a certain great elder are extremely unbearable, it is still a turnip and greens, and there is no room for a small supervising deacon to put his beak.
What's more, Eunuch Min is only responsible for the affairs of the Chengguang Palace on weekdays, and rarely participates in the inspection of the palace.
Seeing that figure turned to the front of the hall, swept over and stomped, and hurriedly walked into the hall, Amai wondered in his heart: What is Eunuch Min here for?
