Chapter 123: Si Tian Jian Zheng
Hearing the voice, he raised his head, and the dark circles under his thin face were already sunken. He didn't wear an official hat, he didn't wear an official uniform, and he was just a simple gray robe.
The most memorable thing at a glance is that when he straightened his back, outside the open window behind him, a full moon just shrouded over his head, illuminating his gray hair even more mottled, but like a real immortal descending to earth.
Taoist!
Lu Gong had long heard that before the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Si Tianjian was presided over by the Heavenly Master Dao, and most of the judges in it were disciples of the Three Mountains.
"Lord Supervisor?" Lu Gong almost blurted out.
The old man stopped what he was doing, showed a kind smile, and said, "Lu Gong, we have finally met." β
"It's also my honor to have Lord Inspector remember his name." This is a true saying.
The old man suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that you have some resentment against our Si Tianjian. He gestured to the chair next to him, "Are you sitting, or are you going to keep drifting like this?" β
Lu Gong also felt that it was a little rude for him to do this, after all, he was a head taller than the old man. floated over and landed on the chair, and then said, "I don't know what happened when the adults came to me late at night?" β
"It's nothing, I know you're here, mainly because I want to meet you."
The young man walked over and held the old man.
When he got up, Lu Gong realized that he only had one leg, and the other side of his trousers was empty.
The old man also noticed Lu Gong's expression, but he didn't mind, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect me to be a cripple, right?" β
LΓΌ Gong didn't know how to answer this question.
The old man had already sat down in the same way, only a small table away from Lu Gong, and the young tutor was standing on the side, silent.
"I haven't left Si Tianjian for three years. You are the first person I have seen besides Xiao Chu...... Oh, should I say it's a box spirit? As he spoke, he laughed heartily to himself.
Lu Gong was a little surprised in his heart.
Seeing outsiders for the first time in three years, he is dignified and superintendent, shouldn't he be busy with official business, maybe he has to go to court every day?
As if he saw Lu Gong's doubts, the old man explained: "My supervisor is a little different from what you think. The whole world thinks that half of the power of the Yin Division in this world is in my hands, and it really exalts me. β
The old man's voice was flat and steady, and it was pleasant to listen to.
Lu Gong also gradually let down his guard. "So, the Supervisor has something to do with me?"
"As I just said, it's not a big deal. It's the first time you've come here, you're not familiar with the place, and you're worried about what's inconvenient about you. I myself have difficulty moving, so I can only take the liberty of asking Xiao Chu to invite you. The old man explained.
The ghost believes that it's okay.
If there is something to ask for, Lu Gong can still deal with it, but the old man's attitude of asking for nothing makes him a little unaccustomed.
"Here, take this." The old man suddenly stretched out his hand, and he didn't know where to conjure a triangular jade talisman.
Lu Gong stared at the jade talisman, a little stunned.
"This is one of the status symbols of the Celestial Prison, and with it, you can only be in Kyoto without too many restrictions. Of course, I'm talking about the civilian area in the outer ring, the important place of the palace, which is the responsibility of the front division of the palace, which is not recognized by others. β
Si Tianjian's jade talisman!
Lu Gong was curious and surprised, and he didn't know what the old man meant. He knew very well that with this thing, he would indeed be able to make it much more convenient for him to act in Kyoto, at least like when he met the golden armor giant tonight, he didn't have to waste a piece of golden body.
It's just that what the hell is Si Tianjian going to do.
Lu Gong knew that pie would not fall from the sky.
"Is the Inspector ready to let me do something?" Lu Gong asked. With the importance of this jade talisman, Lu Gong felt that if it wasn't too difficult, he would be willing to do it.
The old man suddenly laughed. "What makes you feel that everyone in the world wants something from you?"
Lu Gong was suddenly stunned.
"Take it. I don't have anything for you to do. Pushing the jade talisman towards Lu Gong, the old man looked at him and said with a kind smile: "In life, living so cautiously, it's too tiring." β
Lu Gong hesitated for a moment, but still put the jade talisman into his body, and said sincerely: "Master Xie Jianzheng." β
"Needless to say, thank you. I'll say a few words, and I hope you'll listen. The old man said.
Lu Gong hurriedly gathered his thoughts. "Listen up."
"You don't have to deliberately inquire about what is happening in the court, for us cultivators, it will only confuse our minds. I remember when I first started practicing, my master always said that what determines a practitioner's height is not the mind, not the talent, but the pure mind. Only when the mind is pure enough can we not be burdened by external objects and not be harmed by demons. β
"After living for seventy years, I finally have a little understanding, and I will give you this sentence, hoping that you can be a simple cultivator."
Lu Gong's mind moved slightly, and he was touched. "I don't know if I'm a cultivator or not, but I take my words to heart."
"Of course you're a cultivator. And it's my descendant of the Three Mountains. Lord Supervisor said very seriously.
Lu Gong was taken aback by his reaction.
When did you become a practitioner?
"This, wait for you to slowly understand it yourself later. I won't say much. The old man obviously didn't want to talk too deeply about this topic, paused, and said: "Kyoto trip, you can't stay long, with your character, if you don't understand the compromise, and force you to stay here, you will only invite death." Therefore, I hope that at all times, you will clearly recognize your position and do what you can, rather than being swayed by emotions. β
Lu Gong could feel that what the old man said was from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't help but say sincerely: "Thank you Lord Jianzheng for reminding me, the younger generation remembers." β
"You and I can be commensurate with each other, age is age, generation is generation, this can't be messed up. In the future, you can treat Xiao Chu as your junior. β
Lu Gong was taken aback again.
Get along with the prison lord's peers? The young man next to him who knows that he is countless times stronger than Huang He without looking at it can be a junior?
I just said that I should find my own position, but now you don't want me to float?
Lu Gong hurriedly clung to his heart. "Lord Supervisor laughed."
The old man shook his head, but he didn't explain. "Well, I'm tired. Let Xiao Chu take you away. Remember what I just said, think about yourself before you do anything. β
The young judge had already walked up and bowed his head slightly: "Uncle Lu Gong, I'll take you down!" β
Lu Gong was stunned, but he didn't dare to take it seriously, and hurriedly floated. "I'm tired."
Turning his head, the bright moon outside didn't know when it had set.
