When the court meeting resumed in mid-October, Zhong Tingzhi came to the court again.
Not only did he lose his salary by spending three months behind closed doors as a fine, he also missed three court meetings, and he could only learn about the court's situation from subsequent accounts.
During this court meeting, Taoist Changsun was still practicing as usual, while Chong Tingzhi was still being punished. He knew that it was useless to speak alone, and there had been no major events recently, so he did not say a word during the whole process, and just followed the court.
decision above.
At the end of the court meeting, the first Taoist priest took a submission and said: "Zhang Shouzheng sent a submission, saying that Lousu in Xiqiongtian has been guarding Canglu for one hundred and sixty-three years. It is inappropriate to sit here again.
Above this position, what do the court officials think if the admonishment is removed?"
When Zhong Daoren heard that it was Zhang Yu's submission, he immediately paid attention.
Taoist Yusu said: "Canglu has been guarding the city for more than one hundred and sixty years, but it has been too long. If we had followed the rules, we should have moved on. I think this proposal can be passed."
Feng Taoist, who rarely spoke at the court, echoed: "Yusu Tingzhi is right, even if you guard it for a hundred years, it will be too long, and Canglu has guarded it for such a long time, and it has never been done before."
He has made many achievements, but now he is still guarding outside and cannot be promoted. This is really unreasonable."
Chao Daoren said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with this, right? He has a very bad temper and a murderous nature. That place is just right for him. If he goes elsewhere, he might not be willing to do it."
Wu Tingzhi said in a deep voice: "Xuan Ting has its own rules, how can he tolerate his own wishes? If he doesn't want to be arranged by Xuanting, he can just resign his position and go back to cultivate."
The first Taoist said: "Then all court officials will discuss how to arrange this matter."
One hundred and sixty years is really too long. If it were any other constellation, the people would have changed a long time ago. That is to say, Lousu is in a special situation. There are fighting all the time, with heavy casualties, but there has been no accident for so many years, so it is very stable.
, coupled with Cang Lu himself, Xuan Ting did not make any changes.
But in fact, this situation is inappropriate.
If Xuan Zun has been stationed in one place for a long time and is involved in frequent battles, his methods will gradually be exposed, making it easier for the enemy to target him, which is actually detrimental to the defense.
Wu Tingzhi said slowly: "With Cang Lu's past achievements, he can be promoted to Tingzhi."
"No!"
"This is inappropriate."
"inappropriate!"
As soon as this statement came out, he was immediately opposed by the court officials below. Not one court official, but most of them were like this. It was obvious that everyone knew Cang Lu's temper, and at the same time, they could also see how unpopular this person was.
.
Chen Tingzhi said: "Then we can only arrange for him to go to other continents to guard. Is it a suitable place for each continent to go now?"
Wei Ting said: "There is one in Yujing..."
Dai Tingzhi shook his head at this time and said: "That's not right. Cang Lu is too murderous, and he is not in harmony with his colleagues. When I was in Kuisu, I was always responsible for supporting Lou Su, but every time I heard from him, this person
Don't pay any attention to it.
I'll just pay it off elsewhere. When I get to Yujing, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to get along with my colleagues. Yujing is an important defensive area, so Dai thinks that it can't be left to this person."
Everyone in the court nodded. Although the three Xuanzuns in Yujing were divided into separate areas, they could only maintain stability by supporting each other. Such a person who would only offend and embarrass his colleagues, no matter what
Not suitable to go there either.
At this time, Zhong Daoren spoke up and said: "I don't think it would be better to do this. I will order Chief Cang to step down from his post first, and then arrange for this person to take over when a suitable position becomes available. During this period, his salary will not be reduced. What do you think?"
"
Chen Tingzhi said: "This method is quite suitable."
The first Taoist stroking his beard thought for a moment and said: "This move is considered appropriate. Fellow Taoist Cang has guarded Lousu for one hundred and sixty years, and his contribution is not small. It will still be counted as his salary. When suitable, we can make further arrangements."
Feng and Gao looked at each other and they both understood that this was actually an excuse for Cang Lu to resign. As for the suitable position, who knows when?
But it is rare that no one objects to this arrangement, because no one likes this person. Everyone would rather pay some salary to arrange this person aside than see this person coming to the court to disturb them.
After this discussion was over, everyone discussed the candidate to replace Jishou Town, and then nothing happened again. As soon as the chime sounded, the court meeting was dismissed.
Zhong Daoren returned to his Miaohao Taoist Palace and saw his disciples standing aside. His heart moved and he asked: "Is there an echo down there?"
The disciple bowed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the letter sent by Xu Chong is in red script and has been placed on the desk of Your Majesty."
Zhong Daoren waved his hand, and the disciple bowed and retreated. He then came to the desk. On it was a jade box painted with red. When his eyes fell, the cover of the box fell off, and a jade dish inside suddenly shattered and turned into ashes.
The aura dispersed, and he immediately saw the content conveyed inside.
He was refreshed. It was undoubtedly good news to find a reply from the Zhengqing lineage so quickly. He originally thought it would take several years or even more than ten years.
Now, because of the Xuntian Daozhang, countless mysterious cultivators are making progress every day, and their progress in turn leads to the perfection of the mysterious method. Even monk Hunzhang has benefited from this. It is conceivable that in the future, this will be the same
Two families from the same family will get closer to each other.
The closeness of interests will definitely be reflected in ideas and demands. He believes that the alliance between Xuan and Hun Dao is not an exaggeration.
If he had to wait a few years or more than ten years, he didn't know what the situation would be like at that time. When he was thinking, he waved his sleeves towards the big jade jade in front of him, and two faint rays of light flashed on it.
After waiting for a while, the figures of Chong Tingzhi and Changsun Taoist appeared.
He immediately said: "Chong Tingzhi, fellow Taoist Changsun, I have found a descendant of the Zhengqing lineage and received a reply from a fellow Taoist."
On the other side, Zhang Yu quickly received a reply from Xuan Ting in the Shouzheng Palace, saying that what he submitted had passed the court's deliberation, and that Xuan Ting would soon remove Cang Lu from his post of guarding the town, and let him return incarnation.
Return to your true self.
He thought for a while, and if Cang Lu Congruo retreated from the position of guarding the town, then no matter what problems he had, he could investigate slowly, so as not to destabilize Kuisu.
However, two days later, news came again that Cang Lu refused to leave his guarding position.
However, his refusal aroused Xuan Ting's dissatisfaction. He then issued two summonses and reprimanded him, asking him to resign immediately. However, Canglu refused to accept it at all.
This time Xuan Ting was no longer polite and ordered people to send the imperial edict to Shouzheng Palace, and asked Zhang Yu to come to the door with the order to question the person. If Cang Lu still refused to comply with Xuan Ting's arrangement, then he would be taken away directly.
Down.
After Zhang Yu received Xuanting's order, he couldn't help but think about it. As a guardian, Xuanting's order allowed him to decide whether to accept or reject it based on the specific circumstances.
Even if Shouzheng had the authority in the past, he would not dare to do this, because Shouzheng's position is not permanent and Xuan Ting can remove it at any time. But now his authority is greater than that of previous Shouzhengs. If he feels it is inappropriate, then
Just ignore it.
However, this matter was originally brought up by him, and Cang Lu's actions proved that his previous suspicions were justified, so he did not shirk and accepted it.
He had read Canglu's records before. This person was good at the extremely powerful evil technique and was good at sacrificial weapons. His methods were very clever. However, after so many years, his mysterious Taoism and even the magical weapons he carried with him have been almost completely destroyed by Xuan Ting.
Knowing that it was clear, he thought about it, called Taoist Ming Zhou, and asked him about the two magic weapons.
After being fully prepared, he left the Shouzheng Palace and went to the dojo where Cang Luzheng was.
Cang Lu was withdrawn and unkind. He opened a dojo outside Yuanci early, but his connection with Qingqiong was not severed. If he really did this, Xuan Ting wouldn't let him reprimand him first.
After asking, he directly asked him to arrest this person.
Following Ming Zhou's guidance, he easily entered his dojo from Qingqiong Land.
At this moment, he looked up and saw that the whole world was completely deserted. The clouds in the sky were heavy and heavy. The earth was empty and flat without any wrinkles. There was not even a trace of gravel or dust. There were occasional lightning flashes in the clouds, and then there was a dull sound of thunder.
There was a sound in the clouds, which seemed to be the only sound here.
If the dojo established by the monks is not deliberately managed, then it is a reflection of the state of mind to a certain extent. However, this place is dull and depressing, and there is no trace of the fairy atmosphere at all. Seeing such a scene, there must be something wrong with the person.
He floated forward, and finally landed in front of the Taoist palace standing in the middle of the earth. This Taoist palace was also extremely simple. It was completely supported by rough and huge square stones. There was light shining in from all directions.
, the white light is extremely dazzling.
He walked in and saw Cang Lu standing under the tall stone door opposite with her back to him. Her bun was spread out and she was dressed in a blue-gray Taoist robe.
The wind suddenly started blowing around here, and dense clouds appeared on the zenith, causing the surrounding light to alternate between bright and dark, just like the changes between day and night.
With these changes, he knew that Cang Lu's mind was beginning to turmoil, but the latter didn't seem to mind that this was known, and turned his back to him and said: "Zhang Shouzheng, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time.
"
Zhang looked at him and said: "Cangshou Town rejected Xuan Ting's order, could it be that he was waiting for me to get here?"
Canglu said: "Exactly."
Zhang Yu's eyes flashed slightly at this time and he said: "That station in Lousu was destroyed intentionally by you, Chief Cang?"
Cang Lu was silent for a while this time and then said: "Not bad."
He slowly turned around, and at this moment, his eyes were suddenly pitch black, and what was horrifying was that there were countless tiny eyes blinking in those eyes.
"I originally thought that Zhang Shou would come to look for me directly after he noticed the strange energy on my clone. I didn't expect that you would submit a letter to him Xuan Ting first, but it doesn't matter. The result is the same now."
