The heavens begin from the Daluo Hall

Chapter 64
Qiancheng County, Department of Destroying Demons.

The two took the wind to come to this continuous palace standing in the middle of the majestic city. Dangmosi, like Jingpingwei, was established by the Han Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country to deal with the extraordinary phenomena that emerged in various places.

The difference between the two lies in the identities of the members. Jingpingwei recruited some small sects of Taoism, casual cultivators and strangers, and Dangmosi was the elite children of the extraordinary power and top-level Dao veins carefully cultivated by the big man.

As for why there are two armies, that is the way of checking and balancing the imperial power. From the composition of the personnel of the two, we know that they look down on each other, and some areas are even in dire straits.

After Wu Ming asked for the Laoshan Jade Pendant, the two were invited in. He looked at the place as he walked, there was a man-made canal passing through the middle of the palace, and stone pillars propped up the majestic roof of the palace. Simple and flat, it looks magnificent and tall, covering a vast area.

Arriving at the welcoming hall, after the servants served a few cups of spirit tea, an elegant and clean young man came out, cupped his hands and said, "Shang Yan, the inner door of Xiaxue Palace, is now the head of the Department of Destroying Demons. What's the matter with a fellow Taoist from Mount Lao?"

Hearing that Wu Ming was not surprised, Jixia Academy took root in Qi State, and even though Qiancheng County was separated, there were still remnants. If he performed missions in Jinan and Pingyuan counties, then he would be entertained by senior brothers from Laoshan.

In addition, the chiefs of Junjing Pingwei and Dangmo Division are both two thousand stones, with a cultivation base of three levels of high-level merit, long-term retreat, and usually do not leave ordinary things.

"I've seen Daoist Shang." The two got up to return the salute, and Liu Zhaojun said, "My surname is Liu. I came here this time to ask about the whereabouts of my friend Jiang Han."

"Jiang Han..." the elegant scholar muttered, and suddenly realized: "But Daoist Jiang? She did come here two months ago, but she returned the official seal and left after completing the mission."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, ruling out the possibility that something happened to Jiang Han before he arrived in Qiancheng County, they quickly asked: "When did she hand over and leave, why is there no record of Jiang Han's arrival in the mission."

"This... Could it be that something happened to her?" Master Shang tasted something from the two people's words, and recalled seriously: "She came to return the official seal that day, and she seemed to be in a hurry. Before I came out to greet her, she I left, I didn’t think much about it at the time, and the inspector’s seal was put away without any problem.”

"As for the task case..." He said apologetically, "I didn't read it, it was submitted by the fairy officials of Dongzhou County. pass."

Bureaucrat, Wu Ming clicked his tongue. In fact, it’s normal to think about it. If you are the chief bookkeeper, you don’t want to bother with these repetitive trivial matters. You can do key work and just get a salary and work hard.

Push it to the Taoists under him, they are also human beings, they may not be able to do their best, besides, who would believe that a Taoist priest stumbled, so why the reality is anti-intellectual, there are too many factors entangled, which makes the development of things even more bizarre .

Liu Zhaojun couldn't help but asked: "Who were the bureaucrats who handed over the official seals and the reviewers?"

Shang Yan said sincerely: "Don't worry, Daoist Liu, I will bring them here right away, and we must investigate this matter."

Then he pinched a spell, and a magic pen emerged, and flew out from the window. Not long after, a young man with a fair face in Taoist robes came in at the door.

His eyes are slightly bright, his energy is very unusual, there is a kind of pure and ethereal aura on his body, Wu Ming's spiritual sense senses, he is really energetic, his brows are like a cluster of torches, he is a Taoist.

The young Taoist made a bow and said, "I don't know why the master called me?"

Shang Yan described what happened and introduced the two of them.

"I've met two Taoist priests." The Taoist frowned and said, "When I handed over the official seal that day, I was indeed interviewed by Taoist Jiang. Do you want to include her participation in it, but Daoist Jiang refused, saying that he has no merits, and it is difficult to have the audacity to take a share of Daoism."

These words were beyond the expectations of the three of them. They thought it was the East Zou County Immortal Official who was deliberately concealing something, but they didn't expect Jiang Han to do it deliberately, and now there are many more doubts.

Shang Yan was silent, let it go, and let the Taoist go down.

He seemed to have cast a spell just now, turned around and said affirmatively to the two: "He didn't lie."

Jixia Academy pays attention to morality, and there are many spells to test the mind. Shang Yan's words have a certain degree of credibility, and with Wu Ming's sixth sense, he also senses that what the Taoists say is the truth.

Now the two hesitated, Liu Zhaojun even wondered if Jiang Han had discovered some kind of natural treasure, deliberately concealed the signs, and was secretly digesting it in a secret place at this time.

Wu Ming recalled the phenomenon he used to observe luck, and suggested to Liu Zhaojun: "Maybe someone is pretending to be a Jiang Taoist priest. The Taoist's Taoist deeds may not be able to see through. Let's go to Dongzhou County to find out."

Seeing this, Master Shang said sternly: "Since this is the case, our company will fully support you if there is anything."

"I have something to ask for." Wu Ming suddenly interjected, "I want the position of Supervising Envoy of the Suppression Division."

"This..." Shang Yan showed embarrassment. Normally speaking, even a Demon Slayer with a rank of six hundred stones should be assigned to a Taoist priest with proper procedures, such as having a special mission.

For a person like Wu Ming who is only looking for someone for his own business, even if he is bestowed as a demon slayer, it would be a sideline, not to mention a humble inspector who ranks higher than a thousand stones.

And in the Han Dynasty, the official position of six hundred stones to one thousand stones is no longer simple. The copper seal and ink ribbon itself is a method tool, and it can also call a certain dynasty dragon spirit within the scope of its authority to suppress all kinds of supernatural powers. It is very important to look at where you are.

He just wanted to refuse, but Wu Ming said with a smile: "Wu Ziwu in Jinan, Chen Ping, one of the current nine ministers, is my teacher."

Hearing this, Shang Yan was startled, and his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees: "It turns out that Brother Wu is in person, and my senior brother is also under Chen Qing's sect. We are related. If this is the case, the official seal of the inspector will be borrowed temporarily." Here you go."

With the guarantee of a political tycoon like Jiuqing, he can choose at will under [-] shi. Besides, if Wu Ming goes to seek refuge with his teacher now, Chen Ping can leak a few [-] shi officials for him with his eyes closed.

Due to the prevalence of the inspection system in the Han Dynasty, it has a strong taste of a dual monarch, and nepotism is very common.

Master Shang was also unambiguous, and quickly turned around and took out a jade box from the room. The official position of Supervisor of the County Dang Magic Division itself was temporarily set up for the self-inspection of the department. It stands to reason that at least the director should personally award it.

However, it is not illegal for a supernatural monk to retreat all the year round, and it is not illegal to be granted by the master.

Wu Ming opened the jade box, and inside lay a delicate bronze official seal, tied with an ink ribbon, with a crystal luster, engraved with the words "Jundang Magic Division Supervisor", with a turtle on the back, Ying It is also a medium magic weapon with six restrictions.

He picked it up, poured mana into it, and a heavy and majestic atmosphere permeated the air.

…………

On the other side, after leaving the welcoming hall, the young Taoist had a weird look on his face, hurriedly walked, turned left and right, and gradually left the residence of Dangmosi.

He looked back at the fortified high wall behind him, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Then the young Taoist found a remote place, took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve, gritted his teeth and injected spirituality, and immediately turned into a paper bird, flapping its wings nimbly and flying away.

Just as the Taoist was gradually relieved, suddenly a voice behind him sternly shouted: "Zeng Rong, what are you doing?!"

Daoist Zeng was startled, turned around quickly, and found in astonishment that at some point, the chief minister of the department was standing there gracefully.

Then he suddenly looked at the sky, and the two Taoist priests in blue and white robes took advantage of the wind and turned into a light curtain between their sleeves to stop the paper bird.

"You... this?" the Zeng Rong Taoist opened his mouth wide.

The three of them were indifferent. When the other party left, they all used various methods to monitor the follow-up actions of the Taoist disciples, and they showed some flaws.

Wu Ming played with the copper seal in his hand, and beside him was the paper bird that was wrapped in mana and still wanted to flutter its wings away. He looked down at the other side, and said indifferently: "Tell me, what's going on?"
