035 “Blessing from Heavenly Official” Chapter 34

☆、Chapter 34 The prince of Shenwu Palace meets the prince 3

Before his knees even hit the ground, Jun Wu reached out and held his elbows, preventing him from kneeling down and sighing: “Xianle.”

Xie Lian stood up straight again, lowered his head and said: “I’m sorry.”

Jun Wu looked at him and said, “Do you realize your mistake?”

Thanks for the pity: “I know I was wrong.”

Jun Wudao: “Then tell me, what is Zhi’s fault?”

Thank you for your pity without saying a word.Jun Wu shook his head and said, “You don’t even know how to measure it.”

He tilted his head slightly, signaling Xie Lian to follow him, and the two of them walked slowly towards the back of Shenwu Hall.Jun Wu put his hands behind his back and said as he walked: “Xian Le has grown up now.”

When he said this, Xie Lian naturally did not dare to answer the question.Jun Wu said again: “You have been flying up for so many days, but you have never reported to Shenwu Hall once. If someone else is so disrespectful, Lingwen Hall can directly hold him accountable.”

After Xie Lian ascended for the third time, he never dared to go to the Shenwu Palace to see Jun Wu. He just didn’t know what expression to use to face the emperor, so he simply delayed.However, that “I’m sorry” he just said was certainly not what he meant.Jun Wu naturally knew it well, and said again: “If you apologize for the past, forget it, I won’t accept it. You said it yourself, if you forget it, forget it.”

Xie Lian smiled bitterly and said: “How can I forget this?”

Jun Wu said quietly: “Then look forward, there are still many things that need you.”

Xie Lian rubbed his eyebrows and said: “Xianle is just a tattered god at the moment. He has no magic power and is far from being needed. He just wants to avoid causing trouble.”

Jun Wudao: “Why bother to depreciate yourself? Didn’t you do a good job in the previous two times?”

Xie Lian said: “It’s just that I may have offended General Pei.”

Jun Wudao: “It’s okay over there in Mingguang, you don’t have to worry.” But when it comes to General Pei, we have to mention Huacheng again.Jun Wu turned around and said: “The scimitar kills you, and the blood rains on the flowers. Tell me, who did you offend when you went down this time?”

Xie Lian coughed lightly and said: “Emperor, I swear I really didn’t do anything. I just met a very interesting kid on the road one day and spent some time with him without thinking much about it.”

Jun Wu nodded and said: “Encountered by chance, little friend, the ghost king in desperate situation. Xianle, do you know what the consequences would be if Ming Guang pressed on and you said this in front of other priests.”

Xie Lian said helplessly: “Xianle knows. But that’s the truth. I tell the truth, and there’s nothing I can do if others don’t believe me. I don’t dare to tell the truth in front of others. I have to thank the emperor for resolving the situation in time.”

Jun Wudao: “Of course I know that you will not deliberately collude with the ghost world.”

Thanks for the pity: “Thank you for your trust, Emperor.”

Jun Wu said: “But if that’s the case, I’m afraid it’s hard to send you to an important matter at hand.”

Thanks for the pity: “What’s the matter?”

At this time, the two of them had arrived behind the Shenwu Palace.The front hall and the back hall are separated by a tall mural. On the front of the mural, there is a golden palace standing on the top of the sea of ​​clouds, with a bright white light. On the back of the mural, there is a picture of mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.

Xie Lian looked up and saw that this huge map was embedded with many tiny pearls, like stars. These were the signs of the Divine Martial Palace in the human world.There is a pearl embedded here, which means there is a Shenwu Temple here.Eight hundred years ago, when Jun Wu led Xie Lian, who ascended for the first time, to come here, the starlight was not so dense, but now on the map, the flickering pearl light almost evenly covers the entire field of vision, which is wonderful and shocking.

Jun Wu stood in front of the mountain and river map and said: “Seven days ago, many people saw with their own eyes that a fire dragon suddenly burst into the sky near a forest in the east.”

Hearing this, Xie Lian’s expression became solemn.

Jun Wu put one hand behind his back, tapped a spot on the picture with the other, and said, “The fire dragon burned two sticks of incense before it went out. Do you know what this means?”

Xie Lian said: “The fire dragon roars into the sky. Although the flames are strong, they will not hurt people. This is asking for help.”

Jun Wudao: “That’s right. I’m asking for help. Moreover, it’s a priest from heaven who is asking for help.”

Xie Lian said: “And it’s a request for help after being forced into a desperate situation.”

Because the fire dragon roars into the sky, the flames are extremely strong, and it cannot hurt anyone. It is bound to explode part of the priest’s magic power. If he is not careful, his entire magic power may explode and he will die directly. Therefore, unless it is a last resort, I am afraid no one will use this method to seek help.Now that it appears, it means that a priest is already in a crisis of last resort.

Thanks for the pity: “Is there any priest in the heaven who has been missing recently?”

Jun Wudao: “The purpose of calling all the priests back this time is not only for the Ban Yue Pass, but more importantly, to take this opportunity to track down the whereabouts of the priests. Except for a few who have not shown up all year round, such as Master Ruyu and Master Earth, the other priests have all responded even if they failed to come back.”

After pondering for a moment, he thanked Lian and said: “Is it possible that it is not the priest of this year, but one of the retired priests from the past?”

Jun Wudao: “If this is the case, the scope is very large. Many retired priests have not been heard from for many years, and it is impossible to infer which one is in danger.”

I’m afraid that all the civil servants in Lingwen Palace, whose eyes have turned black and whose soles of their feet have felt weak recently, are busy with this matter, so it’s no wonder that they can’t get around to investigate the whereabouts of the young man with the human face disease in Junshan.Xie Lian said: “To be able to force a priest to explode his body and ask for help, he must have a good background. Is there any lair or gathering place of monsters and monsters nearby?”

Jun Wudao: “Yes.”

He turned to thank you and said slowly: “Do you know about the ghost market?”

Xie Lian thought for a moment and said, “I’ve heard of it.”

The ghost market is the most prosperous place in the ghost world, located at the junction of the human world and the ghost world.Ghosts gather here to trade, and demons dance wildly.Some alchemists with some level of cultivation also often go in to do some business and inquire about some information.Even some heavenly priests would disguise themselves and go in for a visit out of curiosity or ulterior reasons.Occasionally, a living person who doesn’t understand anything will accidentally enter. If so, I’m afraid he will either be eaten alive or be frightened half to death.

Ghost markets have existed since ancient times, and there are many legends about them circulating in the world.Xie Lian has heard such a story. A person who was walking at night saw a lively market ahead, with red lanterns and colorful lights. He went in happily, but found that everyone around him was either wearing a mask or wearing a hood.It looked extremely ugly, which was very strange, but I didn’t think much about it. I bought a bowl of noodles, sat down to eat, and put it into my mouth with chopsticks. As I ate, I felt something was wrong. When I looked again, I saw what kind of noodles it was. It was clearly a bowl of squirming black hair!

Pulling back his thoughts, Jun Wudao said: “After seeing the pillar of fire, I immediately sent the priest to search the forest. However, it seemed to have been quickly moved and no clues were found. I am afraid that the other party will be more prepared. So, this time, I need someone to secretly explore the ghost market in the lower realm.”

Xie Lian said: “You can’t scare the snake and make the other party transfer again. That’s why you can’t make it clear to the priests in the Shenwu Temple and let too many people know about it, right?”

Jun Wudao: “That’s exactly it.”

Thanks for the pity: “Then the emperor, Xianle please order me.”

Jun Wudao: “The first person I thought of was you. But it might not be convenient for you to do this.”

Thanks for the pity: “What’s the inconvenience?”

Jun Wudao: “First, Dongfang is the place controlled by Lang Qianqiu. If you want to go, you must cooperate with him.”

What does this mean?Xie Lian said: “I have no problem with this at all. Please don’t worry.”

Jun Wudao: “Second, do you know whose territory the ghost market belongs to now?”

Xie Lian was slightly startled and said: “Could it be Huacheng?”

Jun Wu nodded slowly.Xie Lian’s premonition came true. He rubbed his brows and suddenly thought of something.

The pillar of fire in the Eastern Forest started seven days ago.And Huacheng also left Bodhisattva Temple seven days ago.This time is too tight. Is there any connection between these two things?

Jun Wudao: “It seems that you have a good relationship with him. If you bump into him accidentally, you will be fine. I’m just afraid that he will be involved in this matter. If you are in trouble, don’t force it. If you have any other suggestions, you can talk about it.”

After pondering for a moment, Xie Lian still said: “I’ll go.”

Jun Wu looked at him and said: “Xianle, I know you have your own sense of proportion. But, I also know that you always think of everyone for the best.”

Hearing what he said, Xie Lian smiled and said: “Don’t talk about me like a little princess who has never been out, okay. Now this sentence really doesn’t apply to me.”

Jun Wu shook his head and said: “I shouldn’t say much about the friends you made, but I still say one more thing. Be careful of the flower city.”

Hearing this, Xie Lian lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes without saying a word.

He should have said “yes” casually, but when he said “yes”, he was already familiar with the situation.However, this “yes”, somehow, he didn’t want to say.

Jun Wu added: “Be especially careful with his evil sword, don’t let it leave scars on your body.”

Xie Lian wondered: “What happened to that knife?”

Jun Wudao: “The scars left by the demon sword’s fate are all curses. Even if they are healed, Huacheng can make the wounds bleed again at any time if he wants.”

Xie Lian didn’t know where the confidence came from. He thought that Sanlang would not chop me with a knife, but he still said: “Xianle understands.”

Jun Wu nodded slightly and said: “I am most at ease when I leave this matter to you. You have no difficulties, so that’s the best. But I’m afraid it will be difficult for you alone. Which priest do you want to go with you?”

After thinking for a while, he thanked Lian and said, “Whatever. However, it would be better if you have a personality that is easy to get along with. It would be better if you have more mana. You can lend me some at any time.”

Jun Wu smiled and said: “For this first point, you can directly ban Nanyang and Xuanzhen.”

That is, today’s Feng Xin and Mu Qing, whose personalities cannot be said to be easy to get along with, Xie Lian also laughed.Jun Wu asked again: “What happened to you and them? Haven’t you spoken to them yet?”

Jun Wu has never entered any psychic formation, so naturally he doesn’t know what they are yelling about in the formation all day long. He thanked them and said, “I just said a few words.”

Jun Wudao: “It’s been so many years, or are you just saying a few words? By the way, I heard that this time you ascended, you destroyed the golden palaces of many immortal officials, including those in Nanyang.”

Xie Lian coughed lightly and changed his words to defend: “I paid it off! I paid off all the 8.88 million merits. I also want to thank the emperor for giving me the opportunity to go to Junshan.”

But Jun Wu said: “Thank you from the bottom of your heart to Nanyang. I heard from Lingwen that he later took the initiative to go to Lingwen Palace privately and said that you don’t need to pay him back for the merits of rebuilding the Golden Palace.”

Xie Lian was stunned and said: “This… I have no idea at all.”

No wonder the 8.88 million merits were repaid as soon as they were said to be repaid. It turned out that such a large sum of money was paid. At that time, the damage to Nanyang Palace was the most serious. It is said that half of the golden roof collapsed.Jun Wudao: “Nanyang asked Lingwen not to tell you, so of course you don’t know. Since he doesn’t want you to know, you might as well continue to pretend not to know.”

Xie Lian didn’t know what he was feeling. The ups and downs melted in his heart, and he was confused. In the end, he just sighed silently and thought about something else: “Sure enough, all the ‘never tell others’ in this world are empty words.”

Junwu thought for a moment and then said: “Nanyang and Xuanzhen can’t do it, so what about Feng Master?”

Xie Lian thought for a while and said: “Master Feng Master is very good, but I don’t know if she is willing to go on patrol with me.”

Jun Wudao: “The Feng Master has strong magic power, an out-of-the-box temperament, loves to make friends, and is in line with what you said about being easy to get along with. Last time he came to see me, he evaluated you well. In my opinion, it is okay. If you have no more questions, this time you will go down to the world with the Feng Master and go to the ghost market to find out. Also.”

Thanks for the pity: “What’s the matter?”

Jun Wu said slowly: “You can work hard, but don’t force yourself too much.”

Hearing this, Xie Lian was stunned for a while, then smiled and said, “What are you talking about? I didn’t force it.”

Jun Wu patted his shoulder and said no more.

The two briefly talked about some matters, and Jun Wu went to tell people about the wind master.He asked Xie Lian to retreat first, and Xie Lian left the Shenwu Palace.He stood for a moment at the entrance of the main hall, looked back, and then walked out of the Heavenly Palace along Shenwu Street.

He came to the heavenly steps of the lower realm and wandered here, waiting for the Master of the Wind Master to be informed by the Divine Martial Hall.Unexpectedly, he waited for a long time, but instead of waiting for the female crown in white, a Taoist priest in white came.

This Taoist was full of energy and had an immortal air floating around him. He was none other than the Qingxuan from the Shenwu Palace just now.He flicked the whisk and said with a smile: “How are you doing, Your Highness?”

Xie Lian also smiled and said: “That’s good, fellow Taoist!”

In fact, he really wanted to ask who the other party was?But I felt that it would be rude to do so, and I was about to look through the scroll secretly to see which priest’s name was Qingxuan. At this time, the Taoist priest in white came over and said, “Let’s go! Let’s go down and hang out together.”

Xie Lian was startled and said: “Fellow Taoist, I am waiting for someone here.”

After hearing this, the other party inserted the fly whisk into the back collar of the Taoist robe, turned around and asked strangely: “Who are you waiting for?”

Thanks for the pity: “I’m waiting for Master Feng.”

The Taoist in white was even more surprised and said, “Am I not right here?”

“…”

Xie Lian’s eyebrows jumped and he said, “Are you a wind master?”

The other party unfolded the folding fan and shook it while saying: “I am a wind master, do you need to doubt this? Don’t you know who I am? Haven’t you heard the name of my wind master Qingxuan???”

His tone was matter-of-fact and confident, as if Xie Lian didn’t know that it was completely impossible for him.The word “wind” is written on the front of the folding fan, and three lines of breeze are drawn on the back. Isn’t it the same one that the lady in white was shaking that day?

Xie Lian suddenly remembered: Fuyao once said that some priests in the Heavenly Court had special needs and were good at transformation. At that time, at Ban Yue Pass, Nan Feng also said something: “The wind master has always been…”

Always?What is it?

A man?!

Xie Lian was dragged a few steps by the other party, but still couldn’t fully accept it, and said: “This… Master Feng Master, you, you, you, why did you pretend to be a female crown last time???”

The Feng Master said: “What? Doesn’t it look good?”

Xie Lian said: “Good-looking? But…”

The Feng Master smiled broadly and said: “What else can I do to look good? Just look good! Of course I have to dress up because I look good.”

At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something. He put away the folding fan, looked up and down to express his gratitude, and said after a moment: “Speaking of which, this time we go to the ghost market, we also have to conceal our identity, right?”

“…”

Xie Lian: “???”
