Volume 1 Taoist Temple in the Mountains Chapter 6 Surveying the Heavens
Everyone knelt in the rain with sad expressions.
The door is full of beheading, and the nine clans are connected.
If these words came out of the mouth of the county order, they would probably laugh off their big teeth, a local petty official, even if he pressed himself by one level, but it was far from the point of arbitrarily deciding the life and death of a clan.
In life, who is not a good man?
But if these words came out of the mouths of the people of the Heaven Survey Mansion, the nature would be completely different!
Surveying the Heavenly Mansion, but for the sake of the stability of the border area, the department set up by Emperor Daxia himself is like the Jinyi Guard in ancient times, and the recruitment conditions are extremely strict.
Only geniuses who can practice are eligible to participate in the assessment, and they may not necessarily pass.
It can be said that everyone in the Heaven Survey Mansion is a leader in the cultivation world, a dragon and a phoenix among people.
Even those sects that sat on the top of the mountain and overlooked the mortal world did not dare to make a mistake in front of the Heaven Survey Mansion.
Because no matter how high the mountain is, it is still the mountain of Great Xia.
Surveying the heavens is the meaning of inspecting the world on behalf of the emperor, representing the emperor's will, if you want to do something to them, it is as simple as pinching an ant to death!
"There is no way."
"If you want to live, you must capture the man."
"It is better to catch your life day and night, day and night, until you bring people to me and find what the governor wants, and your life can be saved."
"Wang Pingzhi, I'll give you ten days."
"After ten days, if the things are still not recovered, everyone you present, including your relatives and friends, neighbors, and even the earthworms hidden in the fields and underground, will be found by the Heavenly Survey Mansion, and little by little, chopped into meat foam."
"I'll remember!"
The officials of Qingquan County, led by Wang Pingzhi, kowtowed many times in succession, which can be regarded as thanking this lord from the Heavenly Survey Mansion for his temporary grace not to kill.
Chen Ji tasted the tea, looked at the scene in front of him, and was very satisfied.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, and was about to go to the next place to search, a young girl came from outside the courtyard.
She also wore a crimson official robe, embroidered with clouds, her eyebrows and eyes were plain, and her appearance was kind and beautiful.
Her arrival seemed to add a bit of warmth to this cold and rainy night.
"Old man, go back and rest first."
The girl had a gentle voice, held a thick jacket, and gently covered it on Wang Pingzhi's back.
"You...... Who are you? The old man raised his head in embarrassment, looking at the beautiful face in front of him, and was a little distracted for a while.
"Senior sister, you're here too!"
When the young man drinking tea above saw the comer, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked over with an umbrella.
"Don't call me junior sister."
"In the name of the governor of the Heavenly Survey Mansion, he is rampant and domineering here, bullying the people, Chen Ji, you are not ashamed!"
The girl's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and she hid to the side with some disgust, not wanting to stand under the same umbrella as the former.
Fortunately, behind her, two guards with knives soon trotted over, silently holding up paper umbrellas.
"I'm just scaring them."
Chen Ji's face froze, he laughed dryly, changed the topic and asked:
"Senior Sister Ye Yu, why did you get here?"
"What, I can't come?"
The girl snorted coldly, turned her head, and inadvertently revealed the snow-white swan neck, which made everyone drool.
"You usually don't take me with you when you go on missions, but if I didn't happen to catch up this time, I would have been kept in the dark again."
"I've seen Xiushan on the map, and I've wanted to go for a long time, and the task of capturing the murderer this time is just handed over to me."
"That's not going to work!"
"Senior sister, don't forget, what you are hanging on in the Sky Survey Mansion is just an idle job."
"Besides, the Governor has also instructed you more than once not to let you come into contact with danger, let alone let you get close to Xiushan, you better go back quickly!"
Chen Ji looked serious and said without refusal.
The identity of the girl is very special in the Heaven Survey Mansion, and the Governor never lets her contact any tasks, and his whereabouts are also strictly restricted, as if he is raising a canary and taking care of it meticulously.
Chasing the wind and shadows, he only heard that Ye Yu's identity seemed to be related to a certain noble person in the palace.
Coming here is just to avoid the limelight for two years, so she must not allow any mistakes!
"What if I want to go?"
Ye Yu turned around, his beautiful little face was full of awe, and patted the small cyan sword on his waist.
"Don't forget, I'm in the upper realm of perception, half a small realm higher than you, if I want to leave tonight, senior brother, you won't be able to keep me."
The Qi Condensation Realm is the second realm on the path of cultivation after fixing the bones.
It is subdivided into three small realms, the lower, middle and upper realms, and each time they cross a realm, the amount of heaven and earth true qi that the monk can mobilize will be improved, and his strength will naturally be stronger.
However, when Chen Ji heard this, he said with a calm expression:
"Senior sister is of noble birth, and her cultivation talent is naturally beyond the reach of my poor family."
"But in this Qi Condensation Realm, the gap between the small realms may not be as big as you think, at least this ring knife in my Chen's hand will not be weaker than anyone else, and I have also crossed the level to kill the bandits in the upper realm of Qi Condensation."
"If you really want to try it, then please."
As he spoke, Chen Ji's expression was calm and he made a gesture of please.
Practicing the lower three realms, fixing bones, condensing qi, and knotting Dan.
For them, the geniuses of the cultivation world, as long as they don't cross a great realm, there is no absolute victory or defeat.
As the saying goes, a genius who can't skip the challenge is not called a genius.
The fixed bone realm is divided into copper bones, iron bones, silver bones, and gold bones, and the condensing qi realm naturally has a more detailed division, after all, most of the cultivators in the rivers and lakes are in this realm, and according to the different cultivation methods, the amount of true qi stored is different, and the combat power will naturally be pulled apart.
The girl in front of her is very talented, but she hasn't put much effort into cultivation, let alone any actual combat experience.
His methods are all tempered from life and death, it seems that he is in the lower realm of condensation, a head shorter than a girl, in fact, if he really makes a move, ten Ye Yu is not his opponent.
Ye Yu also knew this, looked at Chen Ji, and was silent for a long time without speaking.
"If the junior sister doesn't do it, go back obediently."
Chen Ji said nonchalantly, waved his hand to leave, and led people to continue the search.
Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly walked quickly in front of him and said seriously:
"I know you did the gold and silver business."
"I know all the benefits you have received from those people behind your back, and how many conveniences you have opened up behind your back, and I have all the evidence."
Ye Yu held a bag in his hand, slipped around in front of Chen Ji's eyes, and said:
"I advise you to obediently help me hide my whereabouts and give me the investigation of this case, otherwise I can't guarantee where this thing will appear tomorrow."
Chen Ji's face was ugly, and he stretched out his hand to grab the bag, but was dodged by the girl.
He didn't know how the latter had learned of the news and obtained the evidence, and he thought that he had done everything so tightly that nothing could have been missed.
"Well, I promise you."
"But you have to promise me that after this incident, the contents must be destroyed!"
"Don't worry, I have integrity, unlike a corrupt official like you."
Ye Yu's beautiful face was calm, and his tone was a little sarcastic.
What she is most unaccustomed to is Chen Ji, who relies on some power in his hands to act as a bully.
If you have that time, why don't you work hard to practice and repay your family and country?
Chen Ji's expression was gloomy, and he watched the girl go away with a group of subordinates from the Heaven Surveying Mansion.
So in front of him, there were only a bunch of Qingquan County officials left.
"Look at what, old thing!"
Suddenly, Chen Ji kicked Wang Pingzhi in front of him to the ground, the muddy water soaked the thick cotton jacket, the old man covered his waist, trembled and knelt down again, afraid to speak in pain.
"This little girl, a corrupt official, makes me seem to have committed some heinous crime, how many officials in this world are not greedy!"
Chen Ji scolded and looked at every Qingquan County official present, and all of them humbly lowered their heads.
He didn't even have to investigate.
Just because of that Jiang Chuan, who was able to live here unharmed for so long, and more than a dozen gambling houses, large and small, Qinglou taverns were opened, Chen Ji knew that the officials of Qingquan County did not have a good thing.
At least this old thing he kicked over was certainly not!
"It's all gone, what should I do!"
Chen Ji waved his hand impatiently and dispersed the crowd.
Then, he looked at the direction Ye Yu left, stared silently for a long time, and then smiled faintly.
"Senior sister."
"Live well."
