Chapter 16: The First Six Stars
Xu Zhenyun vaguely felt his heart beating faster.
appeared in Jiang Chengzhi's memory, stretched out his hand in the inn to command, and issued a "task" to Jiang Chengzhi!
At that time, the face of the man was difficult to distinguish, and the only indication was that his eyes were white and there was no pupil in his eyes.
Although his face was hidden in the shadows, Xu Zhenyun still clearly saw that this was a person without "pupils".
Combined with this height and figure, it perfectly corresponds to the characters in Jiang Chengzhi's memory.
This person is light and ingenious, and he has inserted extremely subtle means in Jiang Chengzhi's body; It may be with the help of foreign objects; But it's also possible that he's superior in his own right.
Fortunately, there is "Xu Xiaohei" as a support for confidence in the "Jade Rabbit Den", and now Xu Zhenyun is quite calm.
In the face of a critical moment, the "Xu Xiaohei" in state one can be automatically activated. Even if it is a top powerhouse at the first grade, one breath time is enough for Xu Zhenyun to tear open the seal and enter the second, third, and fourth states.
At a critical moment when life is threatened, warnings about "State Four" can only be ignored.
Xu Zhenyun tried his best to make his footsteps normal and did not show any abnormality.
After walking more than ten steps, I passed a left-turning wooden "guardrail" – which is the entrance to the south through Shenwu West Street like a pedestrian crossing – and pretended to wander into the opposite street.
In this way, the position behind him and the original one became ninety degrees, and the rest of the eye could be seen.
It can be clearly seen that this person did not show any signs of "peeking", and he also stayed away at a "uniform speed", without the slightest hesitation or change in the pace of his steps.
Xu Zhenyun was walking on the opposite street, thinking quickly.
Is it a coincidence?
There are not so many coincidences in the world.
Is it "reconnaissance"?
I know that the practice location of the Great Jin Dynasty is near Pingshuiju, so come and step on it?
Or maybe it's really going to do it to yourself; But sensing that there is a powerful talisman treasure on his body, he knows that he can't succeed, so he can't help but startle the snake, so he chooses to stand still?
Do you want to report this to Ji Xiaohua, or the "boss" who will come in two hours and is about to report to duty?
It's easy to find a "reason" not to reveal the source of the information.
The reason for the decisive action against Fair was pushed on his father's inheritance, which made Xu Zhenyun bear the aura of "intuitive accuracy".
Now this reason can naturally be used again, just to say that I feel that someone is suspected of following me.
But the problem is that the Great Chu side clearly knew that Jiang Chengzhi's body had fallen into the hands of the Great Jin; And Jiang Chengzhi once connected with this "pupilless man"!
On this basis, this person is still swaggering on the streets of Shendu.
This shows that he has enough confidence in his "hidden".
If soon after, the Great Jin side suddenly claimed to have a clue and searched for this person, in fact, there was a high probability that the person opposite would suspect that he had just "face-to-face" with him.
Even if the other party couldn't guess that this was the reason why the Daoxin chessboard absorbed the memory, it was still equivalent to exposing a rather special ability.
In the future, the means of dealing with yourself will be further escalated.
When he was about to walk to "Pingshuiju", Xu Zhenyun finally made a decision - wait and take a look!
Didn't you still wonder why Mu Qingyun and Mu Xuan "repeatedly protected" themselves just now? Let's see what the "protective measures" for yourself are after you are included in the main job in advance.
If it's reliable, choose to stand still!
Walking directly opposite Pingshuiju, Xu Zhenyun changed into the image of a "little follower" this time, and went straight to the fourth floor without hindrance.
The fourth floor is in the same location, and it looks like the door decoration is exactly the same as the second floor.
With a slight push, the tentative portal was not locked. At the same time, Xu Zhenyun sensed that there were few people inside, and he knew that his "boss" had appeared in this "temporary office location".
Pushing open the door and crossing the horizontal aisle, Xu Zhenyun couldn't help but look surprised, and blurted out: "Deputy Mu? Old Liang? ”
Mu Xiuxin, who was standing in the middle of the room with her back and a plain white dress, slowly turned around.
Even if you don't see your face, the iconic green flower crown on your head is enough to instantly recognise you.
In the front position, Liang Hongbo laughed enthusiastically, and at the same time quickly stepped forward to greet him, and said loudly: "Brother Zhenyun, I didn't expect that we would become peers so soon." ”
"The speed at which you are growing is unexpected, incredible!"
This room is the same size as the second floor; But the interior decoration has changed drastically.
There are no big beds and no furniture; Instead, the room is divided into two, with the left half of the room resembling a chamber, with a mahogany seat on top and six wide-backed chairs on each side.
On the other half, there are seven more "partition" cubicles, opening up the existence of "workstations", each cubicle has a pair of tables and chairs, and some fragmentary furniture.
Mu Xiuxin said expressionlessly: "From today on, you will be a silver silver guard under the Snow Lion Hall of the Demon Suppression Division." ”
"Silver Guard?"
Seeing Xu Zhenyun's puzzled expression, Mu Xiuxin explained: "Under the rule of the Demon Suppression Division, there are a total of twelve halls. They are named snow lions, blue wolves, frogs, red eagles, singing kites, and flame sparrows; White Tiger, Rhino, Ink Dog, Kong Luan, Wandering Owl, Bird. ”
"The master of the twelve halls, under normal practice, is a four-rank cultivator."
"Below each hall, there are golden guards, silver guards, and bronze guards, which are all subordinate in turn. They are held by fifth, sixth, and seventh-rank cultivators. ”
"Those who are senior and meritorious in the Golden Guard often hold the name of 'envoy', just like Liang Hongbo, the dragon envoy you are familiar with."
"Bai Yinwei went to the local office, and the most important was the county inspector."
A county ombudsman?
In layman's terms, it is equivalent to a mayor......
Xu Zhenyun suddenly had the urge to quit this "silver guard" and change to a "county inspector".
Obviously, in Shendu, this "Silver Guard", which is equivalent to the "mayor", is just a small shrimp; It's some errands!
Xu Zhenyun said humbly: "I'm only nine products now; Isn't it not enough to serve as a silver guard who can only be served as a six-rank cultivator? Otherwise, it's better to be down-to-earth and start with the bronze guard? ”
Mu Xiuxin didn't answer, but her chin moved forward slightly.
Xu Zhenyun looked over and saw a set of official uniforms neatly placed on the short-legged table in front of the mahogany chairs in the main hall.
Yesterday came out of the Great Jin Divine Palace, and before leaving, Xu Zhenyun asked Quan Miaoyan about the "uniform".
Compared with the ancient official uniforms embroidered with different patterns on the chest of each grade in Xu Zhenyun's memory, the "official uniforms" of the Great Jin Dynasty are obviously neat and simple, but they are divided into upper, middle, and lower three.
The superior is the glaive crown and the indigo-blue wide-sleeved dust-free gauze; The large two-foot jade wat is used by the upper and third grade cultivators.
Medium is a three-crown and lilac wide-sleeved five-baht shirt, medium-sized shaku-and-a-half jade wat; It is used by the middle and third grade cultivators.
The inferior ones are the square crown and the blue-and-white checkered ring, and the small one-foot jade wat ; It is used by the lower three grades of cultivators.
On the table in front of him, there is clearly a square crown, a cyan checkered ring robe, and a small white jade wat with a pure white handle, which is the standard robe of the "lower three grades" cultivators.
Xu Zhenyun wanted to pick it up, but then hesitated, because he didn't have storage utensils so far, and he didn't know if the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty would issue it.
I want to reach out and put this dress around my waist, but I don't think it's beautiful.
As soon as his thoughts turned, Xu Zhenyun simply asked directly: "I don't know if the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty has issued items such as storage rings?" This...... Official uniforms and jade wat are all key items, and it is not appropriate to carry them with you. ”
Mu Xiu's face was strange, and she laughed at herself and said, "An expression, but I made it for the wooden man to see." I thought that Ling had just come out of the main gate of the Great Jin Divine Palace, and he always knew. ”
Liang Hongbo showed an extremely exaggerated expression, waved his hand violently, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Brother Zhenyun, look at the collar!" Look at the collar! ”
Xu Zhenyun was slightly stunned, and immediately stepped forward to open the collar.
It is clearly seen that at the collar, there is a series of small arc-shaped silver hooks, the size of a little finger.
If you look closely, the total is six.
Xu Zhenyun looked puzzled.
Is this something amazing?
Seeing Xu Zhenyun's blank expression, Liang Hongbo made a look of "fainting", and shook his head again and again: "Brother Zhenyun!" You are the first six-star since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty! What a great honor! ”
Six stars?
Xu Zhenyun was still puzzled.
Liang Hongbo immediately explained: "The Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, different grades, corresponding to different treatment, you know. For more than ninety percent of cultivators, cultivating to a higher grade is actually the same thing as your 'rank grade' in Dajin! ”
"A few grades of cultivation are a few grades of official body."
"For example, Lao Liang and I are a five-grade cultivator, and at the same time, I am also a five-grade official, enjoying the five-grade salary."
"But there are also people with outstanding qualifications and abilities, and there is an additional 'star' on the product. As you can see in the collar of your robe, there are a few silver hooks, which are a few stars! ”
"Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there have only been five stars at most in the past; There has never been a six-star! ”
Xu Zhenyun muttered: "The meaning of this 'star' is ......"
Liang Hongbo said: "Each 'star' is equivalent to adding half a product. Two 'stars' are equal to one product. It means that on the basis of your own cultivation, you will add one product to calculate your official position and treatment. ”
"Every time you are promoted, the 'star' will be re-approved."
Xu Zhenyun understood and said, "That means that I am now a ninth-grade cultivator, and I am treated as a sixth-grade cultivator?" ”
Liang Hongbo nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Not bad." ”
"The monthly salary of the nine products is one hundred merits and fifty taels of silver. The sixth grade is 800 gongs and 300 taels of silver. The gap is not insignificant. ”
"Silver?"
Xu Zhenyun was a little surprised.
Immediately recalled, Quan Miaoyan seemed to have said this, the Great Jin cultivator's fortune is merit in Taoism, and silver in the world.
But I didn't care at the time.
Mu Xiuxin's face was a rare and lively taste, and her eyes were sharp: "What? Surprised? It is said that your comprehension talent in the 'same dust' is no less than the talent of the 'Heavenly Gifted Xuanjing' in the cultivation path. ”
"I'll test you. Give you a moment to think about it, why is the Great Jin cultivator's fortune a combination of merit and silver? ”
"What's the point in that?"
