"If it is really as Brother Zhang said, the Dragon Court will block the news, then what should be the martial arts after that?"

After listening to what Zhang Xiyun said, Fang Ran asked after pondering for a long time.

Zhang Xiyun was also stunned, he hadn't thought that if the Dragon Court held another martial arts, the news would inevitably leak, so how could the matter of the tomb be hidden?

At this time, Fang Yu also spoke: "There is another problem, if the dead are regarded as unlisted, then all the people of Xianlu Wuju will be buried in the tomb."

The two brothers and sisters sang and harmonized, but it really stumped Zhang Xiyun, he smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "It's because I haven't thought it through, what you said is not unreasonable, it seems that you still need to wait for the decision of the Dragon Court." ”

Fang Ran sighed and said, "Presumably, Long Ting is also very distressed now, and before he makes a decision, he can't say that I have to stay in the Ministry of Rites."

Fang Yu said worriedly: "If this is the case, then you must ask the matter of Danshui to be revealed, and ask the senior of the Ministry of Rites to examine your physical body for you, so as not to leave future troubles." ”

Fang Ran smiled: "I know, but I guess it's good for the Great Unifier to explain this matter." ”

Zhang Xiyun looked at the sky and said, "I don't know how long it will take."

After that, everyone waited for two hours before an official of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly arrived.

It was already evening, and the cool was about to rise, but the official of the Ministry of Rites was drewn with beads of sweat.

"Everyone, everyone!" he said to the crowd.

Everyone in the courtyard looked at him and listened to him continue: "You martial artists should also know that there was some accident in the martial arts this time, and now the Lord Shangshu of the Second Department of Punishment and Rites and the Great Commander of the Imperial City are discussing with Your Majesty in the Imperial City, I am afraid that there will be no results for a while, so I ask you to rest for one night in this Zhen Law Academy, and when the results of your lordship and Your Majesty's discussion are out, I will come to inform you again." ”

"You can meditate and practice in the courtyard, and if you feel that the courtyard is too cold, there are also chairs and tea sets in the room behind you, and you can go into the house to rest by yourself. ”

For monks, sleeping in the open is not a common thing, and there is really no need for a bed to rest, even if you sit cross-legged meditation.

After the Ministry of Rites official explained everything, he left.

"It seems that His Majesty is also worried about this matter, and sure enough, he left us in the Ministry of Rites. Fang Ran spoke.

Zhang Xiyun thought of another sentence said by the Ministry of Rites official before, and fell into deep thought.

"Brother Zhang?" Fang Ran saw that he was silent, and called out suspiciously.

Zhang Xiyun came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Fang Ran's brother and sister.

"Brother Zhang, what did you think of again?" Fang Ran stayed with him for many days, and he could be regarded as knowing Zhang Xiyun's temperament.

Zhang Xiyun pondered for a moment and then replied: "According to what the official of the Ministry of Rites said before, the Shangshu of the Second Department of Criminal Punishment and Rites and the Grand Commander of the Ministry of Rites are discussing this matter with His Majesty, and I always feel a little strange."

When Fang Yu heard him say this, Dai frowned lightly, and thought: "What you mean, but I think the candidate for the discussion is a little strange."

Fang Ran also understood at this time, and said: "It stands to reason that the matter of martial arts is in the hands of the Ministry of Rites, and now why there is a criminal department book to discuss the matter of martial arts."

"Not bad. Zhang Xiyun replied, "The Cangyu Army is subordinate to the Ministry of War, and it stands to reason that neither the Ministry of Punishment nor the Ministry of Soldiers should meddle in this matter, but after all, the Cangyu Army has entered the tomb, and it makes sense to ask the commander to discuss this matter, but His Majesty also summoned the Secretary of the Criminal Department."

"Even if something tragic happened in the tomb, it shouldn't be the Criminal Department's responsibility"

Zhang Xiyun knew in his heart that the matter in the tomb also involved the forbidden pill, if according to the previous rules, it should be handed over to Qin Tianjian to be responsible, although An Luping was not in the imperial capital, but Yan Jiujun was still there, why didn't he summon Yan Jiujun into the palace?

He suddenly remembered that he had deduced Shangguan Xia Lin that day, and suddenly woke up, could it be that His Majesty was going to attack Shangguan Xia Lin?

He took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid that the Imperial Capital City will not be calm in the next few days, and I won't have to stay in the Ministry of Rites for a few days in a row."

In the next few days, Zhang Xiyun's words were confirmed, and many martial artists stayed in the Ministry of Rites for five days in a row, and it was not until noon on the sixth day that the official of the Ministry of Rites came for the second time, and he was accompanied by two other officials of the Ministry of Rites, holding the roster in their hands.

"Today's official is here to bring good news to all of you. The official of the Ministry of Rites said with a smile, "From today onwards, this official will be worthy of the robe with you, and will be an official in the Dragon Court together in the future." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised, didn't the meaning of his words be that the result of the martial arts had been decided?

"But this martial arts is not even completed," said humane.

The official of the Ministry of Rites chuckled lightly and said, "It's also your good luck."

He looked at the official beside him, took the booklet, spread it out lightly in his hand, cleared his throat and read: "Tian Yidan, the last name of the martial arts, return to his hometown to serve in the government."

He has actually begun to read the ranking of the martial arts, from back to front, but the strange thing is that the more than 20 people after the martial arts have all returned to their hometowns to serve, which has never happened in previous martial arts.

Thinking about the last martial arts, almost the top 50 were all retained in the six departments of the imperial capital, and now a hundred years of seclusion, the great monks of the divine realm retreated behind the scenes, and then the Xianlu monks made up for their original positions, and after making up for each other, more official positions of six grades and below were vacated, but instead let the Wuju people return to their hometowns to serve.

Everyone is not stupid, but after a little thought, they figured out the key, I am afraid that this is the result of the discussion, the people who died in the tomb are all on the list, then they are naturally the people on the list, but they passed the martial arts so easily, but they can't guarantee the strength of everyone, so they go back to their hometowns to serve in the government, and then make observations, only the first 20 or so are selected by thousands of people, which is considered to be guaranteed, and will be left in the imperial capital.

"Fang Ran, thirteen martial artists, stay in the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Fang Yu, six martial artists, stay in the Criminal Department. ”

"He Chang, five martial artists, stay in the household department. ”

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had read out most of it, but Zhang Xiyun still hadn't heard his name, and a seemingly unrealistic idea arose in his heart.

"Pang Hong, the martial arts example, stay in the military department. ”

At this time, there was only one person whose name had not yet been read, but the official of the Ministry of Rites stopped, and many people had already reacted and looked at Zhang Xiyun in disbelief.

"Brother Zhang, you!" Fang Ran was speechless in surprise, and Fang Yu also looked at him with surprise on his face.

Pang Hong and He Chang both had complicated expressions, looking at Zhang Xiyun with a confused face.

I'm afraid that the most surprised person now is Zhang Xiyun himself, he has thought about the top three in martial arts, but he also thought that he can take the title of this first place!

The official of the Ministry of Rites walked in front of Zhang Xiyun and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Zhuang Yuanlang." ”

"Zhang Xiyun, the champion of martial arts, remained as the Qintianjian prisoner. ”

As soon as these words came out, it naturally set off a wave again, and everyone talked about it.

"Did I hear me right? Zhang Xiyun entered the Qin Heavenly Prison!?"

"Don't say that the last martial arts is held, even if there are three more martial arts competitions, no one from the martial arts can enter the Qin Heavenly Prison!"

"Although his strength is indeed very strong, he can take the first place in the martial arts and enter the Qin Heavenly Prison, which is really too much."

Some people also speculated: "Could it be that he was able to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison because of his Tianqiong walking identity"

No matter how shocked everyone was, this matter was obviously a foregone conclusion, and even the official of the Ministry of Rites was extremely friendly to Zhang Xiyun, knowing that if he could make friends with the officials of Qin Tianjiao, it would definitely have a lot of benefits.

He said a few more words to Zhang Xiyun, and then walked back to his place and said to everyone: "Everyone, there is still one thing now. ”

He looked at the two officials behind him and motioned for the two to leave, and only after the two of them left the Zhen Law Courtyard did he speak again: "There was some accident in the tomb, and Your Majesty doesn't want everything in the tomb to be spread. ”

"Then I ask you to make a nine-day oath under the witness of this official. ”

Swearing, ordinary people look at it, believe it or not, but among the monks, there is a nine-day oath that says, this world originally called the nine heavens of thick earth, the nine-day oath is naturally an oath with this heaven and earth, if it is violated, it will be punished by heaven and earth.

Everyone was silent for a while, and they all looked at each other.

The official of the Ministry of Rites snorted lightly and said, "Could it be that you don't want to think about the Dragon Court and Your Majesty?"

Long Ting's move is really a coercive move, but everyone present, who can oppose it?

In less than half an hour, someone had already walked out.

"I make an oath and ask for nine days to witness. ”

"If the world does not know about the tomb of that day, and I can't promise it, then only I know it, and I don't say it to those who don't know. ”

He bit his finger lightly, and the blood flowed out, but it soared in front of him, and after a few moments, the blood dissipated on its own, and the oath was fulfilled.

This person is a little clever, and he added to the oath the condition that "if the world does not know the time, and I cannot be promised by the dragon court, I will not say it and listen to those who do not know", which made this oath more than half relaxed.

The official of the Ministry of Rites curled the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, but there was some appreciation in his heart, but in fact, when the Han Emperor gave the order, the oath promised was not much different from this.

The person who walked out of the oath first saw that the official of the Ministry of Rites did not object, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and walked back into the crowd.

Seeing such a scene, everyone followed suit and came up to make the same vow.

Just as Zhang Xiyun was about to step forward to make an oath, the official of the Ministry of Rites stopped him and said with a smile: "This oath does not need to be made." ”

Zhang Xiyun was stunned, and then he was a little confused, why don't you have to swear by yourself?

Seeing the official of the Ministry of Rites looking at him with a smile, Zhang Xiyun's mind turned, but he guessed a few points.

But there are still people in the Wuju who have raised doubts.

"My lord, there is no need to swear by this champion, if the Dragon Court does this, I am afraid that everyone present will not accept it!"

Hearing this, Pang Hong sneered and only regarded this person as an idiot.

And the official of the Ministry of Rites also snorted coldly: "Zhang Xiyun is about to enter the Qin Heavenly Prison, what the Qin Heavenly Prison is doing, I don't think there is any need for this official to tell you, you should also hear about it." ”

Zhang Xiyun said in his heart Sure enough, Qin Tianjian is responsible for thoroughly investigating all major cases involving the Forbidden Dan, and this tomb matter is undoubtedly related to Dan Chengtian's anger, he has personally experienced the matter of the tomb, I am afraid that he will be responsible for the thorough investigation of this case in the future, if so, he swears that he will restrain him from investigating the case in the future.

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, those who knew about Qin Tianjian closed their mouths, and even those who did not know Qin Tianjian were silenced by the companions beside them.

"Besides, this is an order personally issued by His Majesty, how can you wait for others to question it?" said the official of the Ministry of Rites again.

Seeing that everyone was no longer discussing, he returned to his original position and instructed again: "Those who return to their hometowns and government offices are allowed to go to various government offices in April." ”

"As for those who remain in the six ministries of the imperial capital, they need to go to each ministry within five days. ”

"If you have any doubts, you can come to the Ministry of Rites in the next two or three days. ”

The official of the Ministry of Rites instructed a bunch of trivial matters again, and this martial arts move came to a complete end.

"After today's work, you can also go back, and you don't have to stay in the Ministry of Rites anymore. ”

After he finished speaking, he nodded slightly at Zhang Xiyun, and then left Zhen Law Academy.

After he left, the crowd boiled again, and began to talk in twos and threes.

There are also many people who came to congratulate Zhang Xiyun and congratulate him on his first martial arts, the champion Yuanlang.

In the end, Fang Ran's brother and sister, Pang Hong, and He Chang also came to his side.

"Brother Zhang, I expected you to be extraordinary that day, but I didn't expect you to be so good, not only won the name of the champion, but also entered the Qin Heavenly Prison. Fang Ran congratulated.

He Chang also sighed and said, "To be honest, when I first came to the Ministry of Rites to check my identity, I didn't put Brother Zhang in my eyes, but I didn't think about it."

"Now that I think about it, I think too much of myself"

Zhang Xiyun couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "I have really thought about the top three in martial arts, but the name of this champion is inexplicable, and I feel that I deserve it." ”

Fang Yu shook his head and said, "If the words are deserved, everyone present has not really completed the martial arts, who is not deserved, and this ranking is the result of five days of discussion between the important ministers of the Dragon Court and His Majesty the Emperor of Han, so it naturally makes sense." ”

"Besides, when it comes to strength, although your cultivation is not high, you are undoubtedly the strongest among the people, and you have fought side by side with the Cangyu Army for everyone. ”

Fang Ran smiled and said: "Yes, what Sister She's said does have some truth, as for some people who question you, it's just jealousy, you don't have to mind." ”

The two brothers and sisters sang and harmonized like this, and Zhang Xiyun couldn't help laughing.

Pang Hong on the side said in a deep voice: "I should thank you for saving my life that day, but I will never succumb to you again in the future." ”

Zhang Xiyun said with a smile: "In the future, I will belong to the robe, and I will have the opportunity to learn from Brother Pang again." ”

Fang Ran said sarcastically: "Pang Hong, I think you probably won't have a chance to surpass Brother Zhang in your life."

Pang Hong turned his head to look at him and said coldly: "Whether I can surpass him or not is my business, but you can."

He snorted disdainfully, "You will definitely not be able to beat me in this life." ”

"You!" Fang Ran was angry.

The sect of these two people is a feud, so naturally something is wrong, if it weren't for the accident in the tomb, I'm afraid there would have been a fight in the tomb as early as possible.

Pang Hong turned around and left, Fang Ran was so angry that he wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Fang Yu.

"This Pang Hong really has no one in his eyes!" Fang Ran was so angry that he scolded, and Fang Yu had no choice but to appease him bitterly.

There was Jiang Qi standing behind the brother and sister, but she looked a little uncomfortable, thinking that she had been ridiculing Zhang Xiyun, but now Zhang Xiyun won the first place and entered the Qin Heavenly Prison.

She herself also stayed in the sixth department of the imperial capital, and everyone will inevitably have to deal with it in the future, when she thinks of this, she can't help but feel some regret and headache, why did she get old and offend this Zhang Xiyun? )
