In the ancestral court of Daomen, for Taoist priests at all levels, the most terrible thing is not Ziwei Hall, the big deal is to dismiss the official and go home to live with his wife and children, nor is it Tiangang Hall, Tiangang Hall is only external, not internal.

The most terrifying thing is Beichen Hall, which corresponds to the criminal department of the imperial court, but in terms of function, it is more like Qingluanwei, with the power to directly review the Taoist priests below the third grade, after the authorization of Jinque, you can review the Taoist priest of the third grade, if you have the authorization of Zixiao Palace, you can review the Taoist priest of the second grade.

The four-grade Taoist priest is called the sacrificial wine Taoist, and the world calls him a "mage", either in charge of a county, or in an important position in the ancestral court of West Kunlun, and has the qualification to accept apprentices.

The Sanpin Taoist priest is called the Youyi Taoist priest, and the world calls it "Gaogong Master", either in charge of a place or in the ancestral court as a deputy office.

The second-grade Taoist priest is called the Taiyi Taoist priest, and the world calls it a "real person", with a transcendent status, whether it is holding a main position in the ancestral court, or being in charge of a state in the local area, he is extremely powerful and has the power to promote the great master.

A product Taoist priest is called a naïve Taoist, and the world calls it "Dacheng Zhenren", referred to as "Dazhenren", three of which are deputy in charge of teaching Dazhenren, who are the leaders of Taiping Dao, Quanzhen Dao, and Zhengyi, and live in Yunjin Mountain Dazhenfu Mansion, Zhongnan Mountain Wanshou Chongyang Palace, and Penglai Island Zhenjing Villa.

The ancestral court has always had the saying of "Yujing, Xuandu, Zifu, Jinque", the four are from large to small, if you want to take the imperial capital as an analogy, "Yujing" is equivalent to the outer city of the imperial capital, "Xuandu" is equivalent to the inner city, "Zifu" is equivalent to the imperial palace, and "Jinque" is equivalent to the Jinluan Palace.

The Golden Gate is the meeting place for the thirty-six real people, and the Zixiao Palace is the residence of the Great Palm Sect.

Beichen Hall directly obeys the orders of Jinque and Zixiao Palace, and its power is far superior to the other six halls, and it is called the upper three halls along with Ziwei Hall and Tiangang Hall.

Now that the position of the Great Palm Sect is vacant, the nine halls directly belonging to the Great Palm Sect are temporarily under the orders of the three deputy masters of the Great Sect.

Today, the Taiping Dao Dazhen masters Beichen Hall, the Quanzhen Dao Dazhen masters Ziwei Hall, and Zhengyi Dazhen masters Tiangang Hall, checking and balancing each other. The three great masters take turns to act as the head of the teaching, and if there is a major event, they will discuss and decide.

This year is the 41st year of Jiushi, and in the first half of the year, from the first day of the Lunar New Year to June 30, the Zhengyi Dazhen will act as the Great Palm Teacher, and in the second half of the year, from the first day of July to the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Quanzhen Dao Dazhen will act as the Great Palm Teacher. It happens to be the mid-year festival on the fifteenth day of July, and it is the turn of the Quanzhen Dao Dazhen.

Purple House.

Outside the Chiming Palace, a large number of high-grade Taoist priests who are not usually easy to see gathered.

Among them, the most eye-catching is Zhao Jiaowu, a third-grade Youyi Taoist who assisted Feiling Zhenren in taking charge of the Western Regions Daofu, he is the seventh generation disciple of Quanzhen Dao after Zhongxing, although he is still one step away from the second-grade Taiyi Taoist, but he is not yet fifty years old this year, and he is in the prime of life, and everyone believes that he can be promoted to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist before the age of sixty.

Fei Ling Zhenren, who is also from the Quanzhen Dao, is very optimistic about this nephew, thinking that he can smoothly take over the burden of the Western Regions Daofu and take charge of the Daxue Mountain Palace - just as the Luzhou Daofu is located in the Taiping Palace in Taiping Mountain, and the Western Regions Daofu is located in the Daxue Mountain Palace, and the people in the Daomen often refer to the Western Regions Daofu with Yaochi.

Now there are many Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Dao around Zhao Jiaowu, all of whom are Taoist priests of the Four Grades of Sacrifice Wine. After all, it is the ancestral court, and the most important thing is the sacrificial wine priest.

The second is the deputy hall master of the Duzhi Hall, who is also Li Mingzhi of the Sanpin Youyi Taoist priest.

The Li family is: "Spring and autumn are all timed, 100 years old is gone, the way is like the law, and there is a destiny for a long time." The first generation of the Great Palm Sect who was respected as "Xuansheng" was born in the Li family, and was born in the Li family, and was the "Ru" generation, and Li Mingzhi was the "life" generation, and in terms of generation, he was the fifth grandson of Xuansheng.

Another circle was formed around him, and they were all from the Taiping Dao, incompatible with the Quanzhen Dao, and even hostile to each other.

In addition to this, there are two groups of people.

A group of people is a righteous one, forming a three-talent trend with the Quanzhen Dao and the Taiping Dao, but they are very restrained and not as aggressive as the two sides.

The other group is people who directly belong to the Great Palm Sect, originally they had the highest status in the ancestral court, but with the vacancy of the Great Palm Sect's honorable position, the three Great True Persons took turns to take power, and their situation became embarrassing. These people kept a sharp distance from the members of the other three factions and were even more silent.

"Why hasn't this eldest lady been there yet?"

"The nobleman is late, and he is late."

"I advise my brother to say a few words, but if it reaches the ears of others, it will not be good. As the saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the poor youth, if you want me to say, you don't have to be thirty years, three years will be about the same, when the time comes, your brother don't regret today's Meng Lang. ”

"The four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist who is less than twenty-five years old has been given a half-immortal object, and he really has a bright future."

"This is also the great palm sect soaring and passing away, if the big palm sect is in power, I am afraid that he will be accepted as a personal disciple."

"There's no way, you were able to climb to the position of the Fourth Rank Sacrifice Wine Taoist before the age of thirty, and you also have such treatment."

"After all, it was named by a few real people, and I really can't envy it."

While waiting, the crowd began to talk in low voices.

The person talking about is the protagonist today, the Daomen genius who even Qi Xuansu, who is far away from the center, has been among the four wine priests in his early twenties, has served as the head of the Beichen Hall, and has been given a half-immortal object, as long as he does not die halfway, he will almost certainly become one of the thirty-six real people who have participated in the knowledge.

Suddenly, there was a clear and unconcealed sound of footsteps in the distance.

"The real person is here."

"Silence!"

The real big man is coming.

Everything is quiet again.

The real person in charge of Tiangang Hall and the deputy hall master of Beichen Hall walked slowly and came to the foot of the steps of Chiming Palace.

This real person in charge of the hall doesn't know the real age, just from the appearance, he probably doesn't know his age, five locks of long beard, strange appearance, light robe and slow belt, and his expression is very chic.

The deputy hall master of Beichen Hall is roughly the same, but the gas is slightly gloomy.

Although the people in the Daomen have the skill to stay in the face, they generally do not make themselves look too young, and most of them maintain the appearance of about forty years old.

Whether it was Zhao Jiaowu or Li Mingzhi, they all saluted one after another.

The fifth grade to the fourth grade is a threshold, and the third grade to the second grade is also a threshold.

This real big man in the Dao Gate raised his hand to signal that everyone did not have to be formal, and walked up the steps, and the Taoist priest who guarded the door hurriedly pushed open the door of Chiming Palace, allowing the real person to step into it first.

The rest of the people followed closely and entered the Chiming Palace in turn.

……

The Purple Mansion is the collective name of countless palaces, and it is easy for newcomers to get lost in it.

Even if he has lived here for several years, he does not dare to say that he is completely familiar with all the roads of the Purple Mansion, and the Purple Mansion prohibits flying and jumping and riding against the wind, once he gets lost in it, it will be difficult to find the right path.

At this time, Zhang Yuelu found himself in such a very embarrassing situation.

"Zhang Yuelu" is one of the twenty-eight houses, and the fifth of the seven houses in the south is also her name.

As the head of Beichen Hall, on the way to Chiming Palace to participate in the proceedings, she got lost without paying attention. And this meeting was presided over by the real person of Tiangangtang to discuss the matter of the demon plague in the Western Regions.

She took out an old pocket watch, opened the lid, and looked at the time.

Hour and moment.

If there is no accident, the deliberations have already begun, and she doesn't want to admit it, and she has to admit it, she ...... Late.

That's it, the point is that she released real pigeons.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuelu subconsciously pursed her lips, but the expression on her face was still calm and did not panic at all.

……

Lin Yongbai is an inconspicuous seven-grade Taoist priest, after leaving the Vientiane Dao Palace, he was assigned to the Daozang Division in the ancestral court, and was responsible for maintaining 100,000 Daozang with others.

In addition, the assessment of the Daozang Division is not strict, so he is excellent in the evaluation every year, according to the rules of the ancestral court, if he is excellent in the evaluation for three consecutive years, he can improve his grade, and the highest can be promoted to the seventh grade Taoist. He was promoted from a nine-rank Taoist priest to a seventh-grade Taoist priest, which was really much better than those brothers who worked hard outside.

When he first came to the Daozang Division, Lin Yongbai often fantasized that there would be a peerless master hidden in the Daozang Division? If he can be accepted as a disciple by a peerless master, he will be able to get rid of his ordinary fate, and even wear a sword of wisdom one day.

It's just that he stayed in the Daozang Division for nearly ten years, and he didn't find a peerless master, and he was disillusioned, so he was content with the status quo, going to the Daozang Division every day, and leaving Shenshi, day after day, year after year.

Today, Lin Yongbai was delayed for a moment because of some trivial matters, and when he walked quickly towards the Daozang Division, he turned a corner, and a figure appeared in front of him without warning.

He was taken aback.

He stopped and stared.

It's a young woman.

Dressed in a plain robe that can't see the specific grade.

When Lin Yongbai's gaze fell on the woman's face, he only felt a shock in his heart.

There are not a few female crowns in the ancestral court, and Lin Yongbai has seen many of them, but until today, Lin Yongbai truly understands what it means to be "shocked".

The woman's appearance may not be top-notch, but the gas on her body is unforgettable.

In an instant, such an idea was born in Lin Yongbai's heart: If he can stay with such a woman for a lifetime, he will not change the position of a real person.

"Excuse me, how to go to Chiming Palace?" The woman asked, very politely.

Lin Yongbai subconsciously pointed out the correct direction: "Keep going forward, turn left at the second intersection, about three hundred steps later, walk about a mile to the west, and you can almost see Chiming Palace." ”

"Thank you." The woman walked briskly in the direction he was pointing.

The two passed by.

Lin Yongbai turned his head to look at the woman's back as she walked away, and it was difficult to hide her lonely look.

The person who can go to Chiming Palace is at least a four-grade sacrificial wine Taoist, so that's not something he can think about.
