Wenqu Xingjun returned to Tianquan Palace, and as soon as he entered the door with his front foot, he didn't expect Emperor Ziwei to follow in. Wenqu Xingjun was taken aback, hurriedly saluted, and was stopped by Emperor Ziwei. Wenqu Xingjun hurriedly let him go to Longtu Pavilion to drink tea, and the four children of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were waiting on the side.

Emperor Ziwei smiled and said: "Xingjun doesn't have to be polite, in terms of territorial location, your Tianquan Palace is indeed under the jurisdiction of my Northern Heavenly Palace, but in terms of position, you and I are not subordinate, but directly obey the orders of the Jade Emperor." ”

"The emperor has killed the little immortal, how dare the little immortal be compared with the emperor." Wenqu Xingjun said humbly, "The emperor is here, it should be for the plaque, right?"

"Oh, the plaque, there's no hurry." Emperor Ziwei took a sip of tea and said slowly, "I don't know what Xingjun thinks about today's Immortal Enhancement Conference. ”

When Wenqu Xingjun heard this, it turned out that Emperor Ziwei also attached great importance to this matter, and thought for a while: "Xiaoxian thought that the Jade Emperor had already thought of a way in advance for the matter of awarding immortal books this time. However, since the arrival of the three Heavenly Venerables, the Jade Emperor seemed to be a little hesitant, and finally made a vague statement. ”

"Yes, although the Jade Emperor is the head of the Three Realms, in terms of strength and status, he is far inferior to the Three Qing Heavenly Venerables. Although Sanqing Tianzun didn't say anything this time, he had already given the Jade Emperor a warning that it was inevitable that he would tilt towards their disciples in terms of priesthood conferral. But that's what the Jade Emperor is worried about, we just need to take care of our Beitian Palace. ”

"We only have three places in the Northern Heavenly Palace, I don't know who the emperor will recommend?"

"Our northern Heavenly Palace has a vast area, if you want to say that there are immortal roots......" Emperor Ziwei hesitated for a moment, "Don't say far away, only your Tianquan Palace has one—no, it's two." ”

"The emperor is joking, we only have a total of three places in the Northern Heavenly Palace, but my Heavenly Power Palace has to occupy two, how can it be done?"

"Eh, Wenquxing, who said that you must be given two places? Didn't the Jade Emperor say that he would investigate and investigate first, and then decide who to finally grant the admission to. It's easy to think about, how can you settle down all at once? ”

Wenqu Xingjun knew that he was reckless: "Yes, yes, Xiaoxian is stupid." ”

"Okay, okay, take advantage of the opportunity of this immortal recording, the southeast, northwest, all mountains, seas, and palaces will actively recommend their own people, you can study the affairs of your Tianquan Palace yourself, and say goodbye."

Wenqu Xingjun sent Emperor Ziwei away, sat down behind the bookcase, and pondered what Emperor Ziwei said, "one or two with immortal roots" - he naturally knew that if it was one, it must be referring to the inkstone boy among his four little children; If it's two, then it also includes the pen boy.

There are four little fairies under the Wenqu Star Monarch, and although the four of them have a "fairy character", they are not real immortals. The inkstone was originally a jade inkstone. Before Wenqu Xingjun became an immortal, he couldn't do without dancing and writing every day. When he was in the world, he had several inkstones, and this jade inkstone was the one he was most proud of. It is the ancestor of the jade inkstone, which is carved from a piece of fine white jade. This piece of white jade is produced underwater, soaked in water all year round, and has all the advantages of a good inkstone: good ink, fast ink, no damage to the pen, no dry water storage, delicate and wear-resistant. The white inkstone itself is the top grade of the inkstone, and this white inkstone has an inkstone eye, which is the top grade of the top grade. After meticulously carved by skilled craftsmen, the whole inkstone body is square, and there are four scenes of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum carved all around, which represents the noble, elegant and temperamental quality of the literati, and is very ornamental. Whenever he is tired of writing, Wenqu Xingjun will play with it and really love it. So after becoming an immortal, he took it to the heavenly palace. Although this inkstone was born in the Netherworld, it was extremely spiritual, and soon after ascending, it was able to transform into a human form.

The pen boy is the best of the four children. He was originally a piece of red gold cultivated in the gossip furnace of Taiqing Daode Tianzun. The Jade Emperor obtained this piece of red gold, made it into a gold pen, and used the brush hair collected by Chang'e of the Guanghan Palace to make the brush hair. For this reason, the Jade Emperor lost a lot of smiles to the cold Chang'e. The material of the brush hair is generally wool, and the better one has the hair of the weasel, known as the "wolf hair", but the jade rabbit hair is used to make the hair of the pen and the gods dare not dare to hope. The hair of the jade rabbit and the red gold pen in the gossip furnace, this gold pen is really the only one in heaven and earth. After the Jade Emperor made this golden pen, he gave it to Wenqu Xingjun. A good writer and a good pen are compatible. However, Wenquxing does not often use it to write, after all, this gold pen is too precious. This golden pen was originally produced in the fairy world, and it is naturally quite spiritual, and it has long been able to transform into a human.

The true appearance of the ink boy and the paper boy also has some origins. It was the beginning of Wenqu Xingjun's ascension, and the Jade Emperor chose the opportunity to let him write the Book of Heaven. The Jade Emperor not only gave Wenqu Xingjun the golden pen, but also gave him the best paper and ink in the whole heavenly palace - the paper made of pulp from the branches of the thousand-year-old peach tree in the West Queen Mother's Pan Taoyuan and the ink block fired by the immortal pine on the top of Kunlun Mountain. Wenqu Xingjun was originally a writing saint, and with a golden pen, jade inkstone, precious paper, and treasure ink, when the heavenly writing was completed, it should have been enough to shock the Jade Emperor and the gods. But there was an omission.

It turned out that the Jade Emperor planned to ask Wenqu Xingjun to write two heavenly books, one with words and one without words. The written book is the same as the normal writing, but the writing of the wordless book is different, and the pen and ink disappear once it is dipped in the paper. Although it is gone, the text actually exists, but it is not visible to ordinary people, which is why it is called the wordless heavenly book. Wenqu Xingjun should just write it down directly like writing a written heavenly book, but when he first entered the heavenly court, he didn't know anything about the wordless heavenly book, and thought that something was wrong with the paper or ink, so he went to the Jade Emperor to ask. However, the writing of the Book of Heaven is limited in time, and after this time, the writing will not work. This delay missed this heavenly opportunity, and the wordless book could not be written. So all that was left was the book of paper and a piece of ink.

They are the strongest in their respective fields, the treasures of the best, but they are useless. Over the years, this paper and ink have an aura. They saw that the pen boy and the inkstone boy had become adults, and they were very envious in their hearts. Wenqu Xingjun also sensed it, and accepted them as disciples like the pen boy and the inkstone boy, but their spirituality was relatively poor, and they still needed the help of Wenqu Xingjun to transform into a human form.

"May I ask Master, what does the Jade Emperor hold today's Immortal Enhancement Conference mean?"

The words of the pen boy interrupted Wenqu Xingjun's contemplation, and Wenqu Xingjun briefly explained the content of the conference to the four of them. When the four children heard that they had the opportunity to log in to the immortal register, they all cheered: "Master, choose me, choose me." ”

Wenqu Xingjun reprimanded: "What are you happy about? Now it's just the recommendation stage, and there are many people waiting to be registered in the Heavenly Palace, but the number of places is very limited. Although Emperor Ziwei promised us that Tianquan Palace could recommend two places, it was just a recommendation, and it was not the same thing as finally confirming the entry into the immortal register. In the end, only three of the entire Northern Heavenly Palace were selected, and our Heavenly Power Palace was insignificant to the Northern Heavenly Palace, and the competition was fierce, and whether it could succeed in the end depended on the meaning of the Jade Emperor. Besides, after the recommendation, there will be an investigation, how can you be a god casually? It's all going through a lot of calamities! ”

"Then who are we going to recommend in the Tianquan Palace?" The pen boy asked a little impatiently.

"Who else could it be, of course it was you and Yantong." Mo Tong said with some envy and jealousy.

Wenqu Xingjun nodded: "Mo Tong is right, if it comes to spirituality, the two of them are indeed better." ”

Yan Tong asked, "May I ask Master, how does the Jade Emperor want to investigate?" ”

Wenqu Xingjun touched the black hair under his chin and said: "The investigation is informal, including the investigation of your origin, your spirituality, your cultivation, and your ability. Depending on the situation, each house is inspected in a different way. We have our own way in the Tianquan Palace. ”

The four children were a little puzzled: "Our own way? ”

"Well, since I was promoted to Wenqu Xingjun, the Jade Emperor asked me and Wenchangjun to jointly take charge of the three worlds of heaven, earth, and man. Famously, it is said that it is the Three Realms, but in fact, it is mainly the human realm, because the heavenly realm is a group of cultivating immortals, and the earth realm is a group of wandering ghosts, and Wenyun has little to do with them. ”

The paper boy poured a cup of tea for Wenqu Xingjun.

Wenqu Xingjun took a sip, put down the teacup, and continued: "At present, the great Han spirit is exhausted, and the lower realm is the Cao Wei period. The war in the world continued, the people were displaced, and the probation system that the Han Dynasty once widely implemented to select talents existed in name only. At present, Chen Qun, the secretary of the Cao Wei Ministry of Officials, reformed the inspection system, and established the Jiupin Official Law. I don't know how it works. Therefore, I will send pen boys and inkstone boys to the lower realm: first, I can inspect the implementation of the Nine Grades Official Law; Second, this is also a form of investigation of your entry into the immortal book, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

When the pen boy and the inkstone boy heard this, they were pleasantly surprised: "May I ask Master, when can we go to the lower realm?" ”

"Without further ado, one day in heaven and one year on earth. The two of you pack up, and in the next two days, you will go to the lower realm, and the affairs of the Tianquan Palace will be handed over to the ink boy and the paper boy. ”

Mo Tong and Paper Tong listened to Wenqu Xingjun's words, and said in a hurry: "Master, such a big thing as supplementing the immortal register, the number of places is limited, you can't be the master, and it doesn't matter if you don't recommend the two of us, why can't we even take our turn to do this kind of thing in the lower realm?" The two of them can go to the lower realm, but we can't? ”

Wenqu Xingjun shook his head helplessly: "I let the two of them go to the lower realm not to play, but to have a task, I just said: on the one hand, it is to investigate the Nine Rank Official Law for me; The most important thing is that they are the candidate immortals who have been recommended, and it is an investigation of them, what are you two going to do with them? ”

"There is no conflict between not being recommended and being able to go to the lower realm. We are so stuffy in the heavens, please let us go to the lower realm to play a circle. ”

"That's right, but the four of you are gone, who will do the errand of my Tianquan Palace? Who will lay paper and polish ink for me, make tea and pour water? ”

"Master, you just said that there is one day in heaven and one year on earth. At most, we will only be in the lower realm for a few decades, and in the heavens will only be a few dozen days, and you will be able to fulfill us. ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if I work hard, but the two of you are not spiritual and spiritual enough, even if you are in the lower realm, I am afraid you will not be able to be autonomous."

As soon as the paper boy and the ink boy heard that there was a door, they rejoiced and said, "I beg the master to fulfill us, and when we come back, we will definitely serve the master well!" ”

Wenqu Xingjun thought for a while and said, "Okay then, but this time I can only help you cast a female fetus, are you two willing?" ”

When Mo Tong and Paper Tong heard that it was a female fetus, they were a little unhappy at first, and said in their hearts: I can look forward to the nether world once, and I will be entrusted as a woman! But after thinking about it again, it doesn't matter if he is a boy or a girl, it's just a matter of a few decades, as long as he can play in the lower realm! The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, "Master Xie." ”

"Alright then, you guys are ready to get ready, let's go to the lower realm as soon as possible."

Wenqu Xingjun twisted his beard in his hand, watched the four little children go happily, and said in his mouth: "I am selfless and unbiased, but it is difficult to complete the golden pen and jade inkstone." After three generations of immortals, do you know that the inkstone immortal is the pen immortal? ”
