"I don't know what you are talking about. But the reason why the Four Principles were set up by Catching God in the first place was to avoid the possibility of Ji Xian Si becoming a royal hawk. Catching God once said that Ji Xian Division is the Ji Immortal Division of all people in the world and is the leader of Dayan.
There is a Jixian Division, but it is not a Jixian Division with one surname.
No matter who is sitting in that position is Zhu Sheng or Zhu Cheng, or Li Sheng or Li Cheng, these are none of Ji Xian Si's business. Ji Xian Si's duty is to protect the people of Kyoto and even the world from being bullied by practitioners.
Since the Ascension of the Immortal God, due to the obstruction of the cultivation world and the suspicion of the royal family, talents with the potential to practice have been unwilling, afraid, and unable to join the Immortal Immortal Division. Over the past eight hundred years, the Immortal Immortal Division has grown from thousands of people at its peak to only now.
There are less than twenty people, and they are all people with extremely poor cultivation qualifications and no hope of advancing to the next level.
Not to mention them, even the previous Chief Constables were stuck at the fourth level and were unable to break through the bottleneck. It was also for this reason that I decided not to select a successor from within the Jixian Division, but to go out and look for suitable candidates.
There are many obstacles along the way of spiritual practice. People with excellent foundation, understanding, and luck are not enough to achieve extraordinary achievements. This is how the spiritual practice world and the emperor contain Ji Xian Si.
But they didn’t know that in addition to the regular practice method of catching the gods, the catching gods also developed the method of visualization before flying. So half a year ago, I started to read through the case documents sent to the Ministry of Punishment from various places, looking for suitable
A talented person who practices the method of visualization. Fortunately, with the blessing of the Catcher God, I found you and Rong Fei."
After listening to Ji Rou'er's analysis of the current situation of Ji Xian Division, Yu Qingzhi explained patiently.
"In other words, Brother Yu, you had planned your trip to Fencheng a long time ago. Didn't you just go there specifically to help the emperor find the jade seal?"
Ji Rouer asked with her eyes widened.
"exactly."
Yu Qingzhi nodded matter-of-factly.
"Wei Lin came to the door that day. I didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. But I have always had a good relationship with him. He blocked the door of the room and tried to cheat in every possible way. I had no choice but to try to deal with it. But later it turned out that
I thought that instead of going to Fencheng, I would take this opportunity to test the quality of the person I selected. But after arriving in Fencheng, I realized that Guo Muhuai was just deceiving the world and stealing his name. He was really suitable for practicing the visualization method of catching gods.
It’s Rong Fei.”
"Then...the emperor knows that you are just on the way to Fencheng, not to solve his problems?"
"I have been reading the case files in the Ministry of Justice for more than half a year, and Wei Lin helped to lay the teleportation array in Fencheng. I think with Zhu Sheng's methods, even if I don't know it now, I will know it in the future."
The stinging pain in Ji Rouer's eyes had eased. She opened her eyes and tilted her head, staring at Yu Qingzhi with a strange expression for a long time before speaking.
"It stands to reason that the little girl is just an outsider and should not have any say in the affairs of the Ji Xian Division. But since Rong Fei has decided to join the Ji Xian Division, the little sister will have to say something about what should be said and what should not be said."
"Sister Rou'er, if you have anything to say, feel free to speak out. I'm all ears."
Yu Qingzhi laughed and said.
"The conflict between Ji Xian Si and the spiritual world is irreconcilable, but we have common interests with the emperor. I don't think it is necessary to make such a quarrel. While keeping the bottom line, express your feelings to the emperor appropriately.
With some goodwill and sincerity, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will be happy to give Ji Xian Si some support to fight against the increasingly arrogant and powerful cultivation world.
You only need to pay a small and insignificant cost to make Ji Xian Si's life easier. Why not do such a cost-effective thing?"
Ji Rouer didn't care whether life in Jixian Division was easy or not, but now that Rong Fei has joined, it's a different matter.
She just hopes to do her best to make Rong Fei's life better.
After saying that, he looked at Yu Qingzhi's expression and saw that he was still a little hesitant, so he continued.
"Changes in imperial power have always been accompanied by bloody conflicts, causing turmoil in the country. Your Majesty will not sit back and wait for death, and King Yong will not give up. I think there will definitely be a bloody storm in Kyoto tomorrow.
If you win, the people will suffer. If you lose, the people will suffer. No matter who wins or loses in the end, the people in Kyoto will suffer in the end.
Since Ji Xian Si has the responsibility to protect the people, he should try his best to avoid conflicts and restore peace and stability to the people of Kyoto."
"Well, that makes some sense."
Without touching the bottom line of Ji Xian Si, Yu Qing has a good talkative character. In addition, he has a special regard for Rong Fei and Ji Rou'er, so after hearing Ji Rou'er's suggestion, he thought about it for a while and agreed with it.
nod.
"Now that the jade seal is missing, the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is about to be held, and His Majesty the Emperor is in a worrying situation, it is the best time for Ji Xian Si to express his goodwill."
Ji Rouer took advantage of the victory and pursued her.
"Why not King Yong?"
Yu Qingzhi asked.
"When the new emperor comes to power, he must purge the old ministers of the previous dynasty and change the previous dynasty's laws. This will cause turmoil in Kyoto and damage to the people. On the contrary, the loss and impact can be minimized."
Ji Rouer replied calmly.
"I originally thought that you are compassionate and good at medical skills, which is very valuable. I didn't expect that you are also good at analysis and planning. I was a little surprised."
Yu Qingzhi struck the case with his palm and praised.
"I've been listening to Rong Fei's stories since I was a child. The more I listened, the more I thought about it. I quickly spouted a few nonsense words. If there's anything inappropriate, I hope Brother Yu won't take offense."
Ji Rouer explained with a smile.
"Forget it, everything you said makes sense. If I don't make some changes, I will seem too pedantic. I will go to the Temple of Heaven tomorrow morning to support Zhu Sheng."
"Brother Yu, that is His Majesty, not Zhu or something."
Ji Rouer quickly reminded.
"I'm used to it. I'm sorry. I'll pay attention to it in the future."
"Also, as Rong Fei said, it's better to provide help in times of need sooner rather than later. Being late will either turn into the icing on the cake, leaving only one or two points of gratitude.
Someone took advantage of it and left an excuse."
"That makes sense. Let's go after dinner."
"The emperor is not in need of hungry soldiers. I think the food there will be no worse than here."
"Sister Rou'er, do you mean to go now?"
"My little sister congratulates Brother Yu on his triumphant return."
Ji Rouer stood up and bowed slightly.
"Hahaha, okay, okay, just go, just go."
…
The clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker, weighing heavily on some people's hearts, making them increasingly uneasy.
In the city of Kyoto, the lights in countless high-rise gates and deep courtyards were turned off early, but in the darkness there were ghostly figures walking around, secretly communicating with each other.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for these people.
The same is true for Rong Fei.
The air was humid and hot, but the water in the Golden Scale Pond was bitingly cold. As soon as the sleepiness appeared, it was immediately dissipated by the cold lake water that enveloped the whole body, making Rong Fei become energetic again and trembling all over.
The process of searching for jade seals in the Golden Scale Pond was more difficult than Rong Fei expected.
The entire bottom of the lake is covered with water plants, silt, lotus roots, and gravel. In addition, there is no light source, so you can only explore inch by inch in the dark with your hands.
When the air stored in his lungs was almost exhausted, Rong Fei inserted a long wooden stick into the mud to mark it, then surfaced and took a deep breath.
Not far away, a vague black shadow raised and lowered its arms from time to time, accompanied by the sound of rushing water.
That was Xiao Shunzi standing in waist-deep water with a bamboo pole in hand, testing whether there was any suspicious hard object at the bottom of the lake.
"What time is it?"
Rong Fei took a breath and asked.
"Just after midnight."
Xiao Shunzi's teeth chattered because of the cold lake water, and he replied incoherently.
Rong Fei glanced around. Although he couldn't see clearly in the dim light, he could still get a rough idea.
It took two full hours to search one-tenth of the entire Golden Scale Pond.
At this time, the two people's physical strength has been almost exhausted. If this continues, Rong Fei is a little unsure whether they can find the jade seal before the ceremony to worship the heaven.
"Go find some sweets, the sweeter the better, and some spirits. We must add some calories, otherwise we will get cold before we can find the jade seal."
Rong Fei walked back to the shore, jumped and moved his body, and said to Xiao Shunzi.
The eunuch's constitution is Yin, and he can't stand the cold more than ordinary people. Hearing this, he happily jumped out of the pond, wrung out his clothes and went to find something to eat and drink.
Rong Fei stood on the shore and stared at the dark lake, thinking in his mind that he would not be able to hurry up according to the stupid method, so he must think of some crooked tricks.
Xiao Shunzi carried a basket full of snacks, preserved fruits and shochu back to the Golden Scale Pond, only to hear heavy knocking sounds in the darkness from time to time.
Xiao Shunzi felt strange. He followed the sound and saw Rong Fei waving a hammer vigorously and beating the wall. He was so frightened that he turned pale and shouted.
"Xiao Rong, why are you arresting you? It is a serious crime to destroy the palace property."
"Which is the lesser of two evils. You will definitely not be able to find the jade seal before noon using stupid methods. It is better to smash a hole in the wall and dig a diversion ditch to divert the lake water to the next door. Then it will be much easier and faster to find it."
Rong Fei explained while smashing the wall.
"Lead to the next door?"
Xiao Shunzi's face looked even more miserable when he heard this.
"Next door is the garden where the Crown Prince and His Highness Prince Qi play. If you flood it with water, this is also a capital offense."
"It's said that the lesser of two evils is the right choice. If we can't find the jade seal, everyone will be done with it. Who has the mood to pursue this matter?"
"That makes some sense. Hey, where did you find this hammer?"
Xiao Shunzi asked strangely.
"It's in the garden next door. It should have been left behind by the craftsman who built toys for the prince and the king of Qi. Don't be idle. There are pickaxes and shovels next door. Go and dig a water diversion ditch there. Didn't Wei Gong say that the people next door dug it before?
Are you passing a pond for your two highnesses to practice naval training? It has been filled in for a while, and the bottom should be loose enough to hold a lot of water. You can start digging from there."
Xiao Shunzi responded, placed the basket with food next to Rong Fei, then climbed up the ladder to dig a trench next door.
Although Rong Fei figured out a way to save a lot of time than diving into the bottom of the lake to dig a drainage ditch, it was not easy to do it. It was not until Yinshi that the edge of the clouds that were about to press overhead showed a little light, and the drainage ditch was dug to the lake.
side.
The location Rong Fei chose was a deeper part of the lake. One of them held a spade and the other held a pickaxe, standing on both sides of the drainage ditch.
At the command, the shovel and pickaxe fell down simultaneously, hitting the soil layer between the drainage ditch and the lake.
Two small holes were punched out in the soil layer, and the turbid lake water first shot up like two miniature waterfalls, and then the soil layer was washed away by the huge water pressure, and the billowing turbidity flow got out of hand and rushed along the drainage ditch towards the garden next door.
In this situation, Rong Fei inexplicably remembered a crooked poem in his mind.
Wen Si is like a diabetic insipidus, who can compete with me?
