Chapter 198: Formal Appointment

Many people will wonder why Ziweitang has become the head of the Nine Halls, since Jin Que holds the highest level of personnel power?

There is a very key point here, starting from the level of deputy house master and deputy hall master, Ziwei Tang does not have the right to decide, only the right to suggest, but this right to make suggestions accounts for a large proportion, under normal circumstances, Jin Que will carefully consider Ziwei Tang's suggestions.

There is a proverb in the Daomen: "The clouds of Jinque, the wind of Ziweitang." "If you want to go up, it must rain on the golden cloud, and as for whose head that cloud can end up on, it depends on where the wind of Ziweitang blows the cloud.

Furthermore, Ziweitang may not be able to succeed, but bad things are not difficult. After all, Ziweitang is in charge of the evaluation of Taoist priests over the years, even if Jin Que wants to pass an appointment, and as a result, Ziwei Tang issues that his past evaluations are incompetent, then Jin Que has no way to ignore the system and forcibly promote him.

Because of this, although Ziweitang does not have complete personnel power, it is still the head of the nine halls. In fact, Tiangangtang is similar, and it also does not have complete military power.

In addition, Jin Que has the final decision, but when the specific appointment is announced, it is usually the deputy hall masters of Ziwei Hall who are in charge, and according to unwritten rules, they are all equal or lower.

For example, for the appointment of an ordinary deputy hall master, it is enough for Ziwei Hall to also send a deputy hall master. In the same way, for the appointment of the second deputy hall master, it is reasonable for Ziwei Hall to send a second deputy hall master of the same level or a deputy hall master of a lower level as appropriate. As for the real person in charge of Ziwei Hall, it is very special, and he usually does not come forward in person. It is to appoint the real person in charge of the mansion, it is best if he can go, if only the chief deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall is dispatched, others will not be able to find fault.

Qi Xuansu's appointment this time was personally responsible for Donghua Zhenren, which revealed a very extraordinary taste.

The second deputy hall master took office, and Ziwei Hall sent the chief deputy hall master to Dingtian, which was very important. And Qi Xuansu's new appointment is personally responsible for Donghua Zhenren, the real person in charge of the hall, and this specification is far beyond the other secondary deputy masters, and even far beyond the other chief deputy masters, almost comparable to the first level of the real people in the main house.

From top to bottom, I don't know how many eyes are staring at Ziweitang, and the news that Donghua Zhenren personally arranged for Qi Xuansu to serve will immediately spread like the wind and reach the ears of everyone who cares. This is the second meaning of "the wind of Ziweitang".

Qi Xuansu naturally felt that this was a deliberate arrangement by Donghua Zhenren to build momentum for him, in order to convey a message to others - Qi Xuansu is a person with a backer, and he is very hard, don't provoke him if you have nothing to do.

When he goes to the post, Ziweitang will also send someone to go over with him, and he will not let Qi Xuansu go to the post alone. For example, Lei Xiaohuan left for Jiangnan Provincial Mansion today, and he was personally accompanied by the second deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall, and sent it to Jiangnan Provincial Mansion, and officially announced the appointment of Jin Que in Jiangnan Provincial Mansion.

Donghua Zhenren and Qi Xuansu came to the signing room, sat opposite each other, Donghua Zhenren signaled Qi Xuansu not to be restrained: "Don't be so serious, these days, there must be no less people who have been ventilating to you, and you probably have a number in your heart." ”

"Yes." Qi Xuansu admitted this statement.

Donghua Zhenren continued: "I won't talk about official articles, just get straight to the point. The earth master decided to let you go to Borneo Daofu as the second deputy master, but because you are too young, you have to add the word 'generation' in front of this secondary deputy master, that is, appoint you as the deputy master of Borneo Daofu, and act as the second deputy master, which is regarded as the second seat, so your grade is still a third-grade Youyi Taoist, and you will not be directly promoted to a second-grade Taiyi Taoist, what do you think? ”

Qi Xuansu had long understood the intention of the "three steps", so he did not have any dissatisfaction at this time, let alone emphasize how much credit he had made, but said truthfully: "I have no objections. ”

Donghua Zhenren nodded slightly: "Very good, you want to remove the word 'generation', and I also want you to remove the word 'generation', so you need to make some achievements as soon as possible, so that people who want to help you speak have something to say in Jinque." ”

Qi Xuansu's heart moved slightly, and he understood that the main topic this time was coming.

Donghua Zhenren continued: "This time I sent you to Borneo Province, in addition to daily affairs, there are three main focuses, or three directions of your actions. The first point is what Cihang Zhenren said at the joint meeting, to crack down on the Holy See's forces in Borneo and prevent all the Holy See's sabotage against Borneo. The second point is to fulfill the responsibilities of the Borneo Provincial Government, strengthen the control of the royal families, Tusi and sects of Borneo, enhance the friendship between the two sides, and make them firmly unite around the Daomen, so as to strictly prevent the recurrence of a situation similar to the Fenglin Rebellion. ”

"Or it can be put more bluntly, so that the local forces of Borneo can understand a truth, there is only a cloud above Borneo's head, that is the Daomen, not some other bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods."

Qi Xuansu straightened his upper body slightly.

Donghua Zhenren finally said: "The last and most important point is to cooperate with the Dazhen of the head of the Borneo Provincial Government to investigate and eradicate the separatist forces existing in Borneo and eliminate the upper and lower levels of the Borneo Provincial Government. ”

Qi Xuansu said softly: "The separatist forces mentioned by the real person in the palm hall refer specifically to ......"

"The Wang family." Donghua Zhenren's face didn't have any expression, "That is, the Borneo Provincial Mansion Zhenren Wang Jiaohe and the family forces behind it." ”

Although Qi Xuansu had known this for a long time, he still had a moment of trance when he really heard Donghua Zhenren say it himself, this is not the first Jiangnan case or the second Jiangnan case.

There is no rule that the Taoist sect cannot punish the doctor, it is the rule of Confucianism.

This means that the stakes are high.

The first Jiangnan case, Qi Xuansu had never experienced it, but she also knew a thing or two from Zhang Yuelu's mouth, she almost died. In the second Jiangnan case, Qi Xuansu personally experienced it, watching the opponent wipe out all the way from Jiangling Mansion to Jinling Mansion, and then burning the True Martial Arts Temple.

This time to run to the territory that others have been operating for many years, it is a life-and-death struggle, and it is conceivable what the Wang family can do.

Donghua Zhenren looked at Qi Xuansu: "Is there pressure?" ”

Qi Xuansu pressed his hands on his knees and said in a deep voice: "If you say that there is no pressure, it is a lie to others." It's just that no matter how many difficulties there are, we can ensure the completion of the mission delivered by Jinque. ”

"Good." Donghua Zhenren's face had a smile, "That's what I want." ”

Immediately after that, Donghua Zhenren's words changed: "But it's still important to protect yourself, go safely, and return safely." ”

With that, Donghua Zhenren took out a box from his Sumeru object and placed it on the table between the two.

Qi Xuansu stood up.

"Sit." Donghua Zhenren's left hand was pressed weakly, motioning for Qi Xuansu to sit down, and his right hand opened the box.

Qi Xuansu's gaze also turned to this box.

The box was opened, and there was a velvet liner and a smaller box, about the size of an envelope, but the smaller box was densely covered with various talismans and chains the size of the little finger.

It seems to be some kind of seal.

Qi Xuansu even felt a hint of coldness inexplicably.

The three fingers of Donghua Zhenren's right hand gently pressed on the small box: "You won't be too unfamiliar with this kind of thing, it was you who brought it back from Fenglinzhou personally." ”

Qi Xuansu was slightly stunned, and then understood: "Is it the 'Xirui Sutra'!?" ”

Donghua Zhenren smiled slightly: "Yes and no, strictly speaking, these are just the pages of the 'Xi Rui Sutra', which were torn from the body of the 'Xi Rui Sutra' by the earth master through the 'Emperor Shakti', and the real 'Xi Rui Sutra' is still in the hands of the earth master." ”

Qi Xuansu suddenly understood.

According to the Celestial Master, the pages of the "Shri Sutra" are made from peeled skin, which came from the previous failed scribes, and finally it was finally made at the expense of 397 scribes.

So theoretically, each page is relatively independent, and Cirilla can bind it into a book, and the geomaster can naturally separate it again. 33

If a person who has not yet lived forever reads the Book of Hirilla, then they will be convinced of what is written in it: Hirella is the only true God and will be forcibly converted to a believer in Hirilla.

Immortals can resist the influence of this book and will not become a follower of Cirilla, but they will become arrogant, and their realm cultivation will skyrocket in a short period of time, and if they want to get rid of this influence in the end, they will inevitably lose part of their cultivation.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but wonder, the "Xirui Sutra" is so terrifying, what is the intention of the earth master and Donghua Zhenren to give him? I don't use this thing as poison.

Donghua Zhenren saw Qi Xuansu's doubts and took the initiative to explain: "The effectiveness of these scattered pages naturally cannot be compared with the finished 'Xirui Sutra', and you have the 'Heart of the Immortal Stone', so you can use the pages of the 'Xirui Sutra', and the specific effect will not be to transform you into a believer in Xiruila, but will enhance your realm cultivation in a short period of time." ”

Qi Xuansu's eyes couldn't help but light up, he had seen the effect of Izang Nuozun's use of the "Xirui Sutra" to instantly reshape the golden body, which was simply unreasonable.

"Attention." Donghua Zhenren slightly accentuated his tone, "Even if the power is weakened, with your realm cultivation, in order to ensure safety, it is best to use only one page at a time, and every time you use the page, you will suffer backlash and enter a weak state, so you must leave enough time intervals." In addition, although you have the protection of the 'Heart of Immortal Stone' and will not fall into complete arrogance and madness, your sanity will still be affected to a certain extent. This box is a total of seven pages, so use it with caution. ”

Donghua Zhenren closed the box outside again and pushed it in front of Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu carefully put away the box.

Some people died, but not completely......
