Starting boy Ma Kongqun

Chapter 249 Promotion, Guest Minister

In Hangzhou City, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Branch of the "Huntian Supervisory Academy".

Ma Yao returned the token representing the judge's identity to the young prisoner Chu Liang, and received the other token from him.

Just yesterday, he finally completely digested the body-tempering elixir given by his son, and used the power of the elixir to promote the "Butterfly Transformation" of the "Huntian Fighting Victory Technique", allowing his body to complete a cocoon and transform into a butterfly. After reaching the perfection of body tempering, and then using the "Swallowing Star Transformation" to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth into the body and refine it into true energy, he will be promoted to the sixth level of Qi Condensation, transcending the ordinary world and becoming a martial arts immortal.

The improvement of strength brings about the improvement of status.

According to the regulations of the "Huntian Supervisory Yuan", the judges and Huntian guards are all lower-level third-level warriors or monks. Once they break through to the middle-level third-level realm and become human immortals or ghost immortals, they can be automatically promoted to their posts.

After Ma Yao came to see Chu Liang early this morning to report his breakthrough in martial arts, Chu Liang surprised and congratulated him and put two choices in front of Ma Yao.

One is to be promoted to a young eunuch with real power, but he has to be transferred to a department of the Capital General Academy or other provincial branches to serve as chief; the other is to be promoted to a guest minister with positions but no power, but he can stay in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang branches, and his status is aloof and parallel to that of the young eunuch. .

Ma Yao has passed his forties and has long since lost the enterprising spirit he had in his youth. He is satisfied if he can protect his hometown with his own efforts, because he did not hesitate for too long before choosing the latter.

Chu Liang was overjoyed. Although there were two guest ministers in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang branches, one of the chiefs, Yan Chixia, was lazy by nature. Unless it was a really difficult matter, he would not be invited to take action. The second chair, Huangfuli, was from the Fox clan and was given the title of guest minister in the hospital. It is only for the convenience of dealing with the fox demon who violates the precepts, and does not pay much attention to other matters.

A guest will be treated as a guest.

Therefore, Chu Liang was afraid that Ma Yao would change his mind, so he immediately reported the matter to the Wen Jingshi General Academy, and then, without waiting for the General Academy's approval, he granted Ma Yao the token representing his identity as a guest minister.

This elixir was refined by several alchemy masters from the main hospital. Each pill is equivalent to ten days of Qi refining by a sixth-grade warrior.

This sword is the same Tang Hengdao style as Ma Ji's "Autumn Dew" sword, but is only slightly less sharp.

Originally, as a judge, Ma Yao could only receive standard equipment and a salary of dozens of taels of silver per month. The real big deal was the capture after completing each mission.

Now that he is serving as the Guest Minister of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Branch, the first thing he has is a benefit - to go to the inner library of the arsenal to select a magic weapon or magical weapon that is handy; even if he cannot find one that suits him, he can state his requirements and it will be available from elsewhere immediately. Allocation or even immediate forging or sacrifice.

In addition to the benefits of joining the company, he can also receive three spiritual pills to assist in Qi refining practice every month as daily benefits.

Ma Yao considered it again and again in the arsenal, and finally chose a sword named "Tianhong".

Now there is a Ma Yao. Although his strength is not as good as those two, he can really be used freely based on the friendship between superiors and subordinates for many years. This way, he can be much more calm when facing more and more strange events in recent years.

In other words, three elixirs per month can double Ma Yao's monthly practice results.

In addition, if a guest encounters an emergency, he or she can mobilize the manpower and resources of the branch independently. There is no need to ask the juvenile prison for instructions, and only a report can be made afterwards.

Compared with these benefits and rights, Ma Yao believed that the tenfold increase in salary was not worth mentioning.

After giving him enough benefits, Chu Liang immediately assigned the work to the people without any courtesy: "Zhiyuan, now Yan Chixia and Huangfuli have important matters. One went to Jinhua Mansion and the other to Huzhou Mansion. It happened that I received a tip. , said that a case also occurred in Kuaiji County of Shaoxing Prefecture, and it involved Shinto matters, so I can only take the trouble of you to make a trip." Lanruo Temple in the northern suburbs of Jinhua County.

Ning Caichen searched all the inns in the city but could not find a room. Thinking of the abandoned temple he saw when passing by, he went out of the city to see if he could find a place to stay.

He pushed open the ajar door, stood at the door and looked in. He saw that half of the front hall had collapsed, and the courtyard was full of wormwood, which had grown taller than a person's head. His heart suddenly felt cold.

But when I saw that the main hall and a pagoda at the back were quite magnificent and magnificent. Although the windows were now broken, the overall structure was still roughly intact, so I parted the wormwood and walked around the front hall with a glimmer of hope. I was pleasantly surprised to find that in front of the main hall Because the courtyard is paved with large square bricks, only some sporadic weeds grow in the gaps between the bricks.

And although the main hall is dilapidated, the two rows of Zen rooms on the left and right for monks to live and meditate are relatively intact. Especially the door of the Zen room on the left is tightly closed, and there is a brand new lock hanging on it. It is obviously occupied by people, but only temporarily. Just going out.

After confirming that people could live here and that he had someone to keep him company, Ning Caichen was immediately elated.

However, since someone was already living there, whether it was a monk in the temple or someone staying overnight like himself, he would always wait for the person to come back to say hello and ask for their opinion, so he walked around in the courtyard and waited.

He looked around and saw a large pool surrounded by stone railings under the steps in front of the main hall. He walked up to the railing and looked down. He saw that the water was clear and some small fish could be seen swimming freely in the water. Apparently there was another source. Not a backwater.

Dense clusters of round lotus leaves stand gracefully on the water, dotted with dozens of snow-white wild lotus flowers in full bloom, exuding bursts of refreshing fragrance.

There is a bamboo forest in the east corner of the main hall. The bamboos that have been growing unchecked all year round have grown to the thickness of a handful and are higher than the top of the hall.

From time to time, chirping birds can be heard in the bamboo forest, which makes this ancient temple even more peaceful and quiet.

The more Ning Caichen watched, the more satisfied he became. He was so excited that he recited the "Inscription on a Humble Room" written by Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty: "The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be famous. If the water is not deep, if there are dragons, it will be spiritual. This is a humble room, but only My virtue... Zhugelu in Nanyang, Ziyun Pavilion in Western Shu. Confucius said: How can it be so shameless?"

"Haha... The scholar is so elegant!"

A heroic laughter came from behind.

Ning Caichen was startled, and when he looked back hurriedly, he immediately saw a big man walking around from the front hall.

This big man is tall and tall, with a height of seven feet. He has the body of a tiger, the waist of a wolf, the head of a leopard with eyes, the jaw of a tiger, and the beard of a tiger. His eyes are like two cold flashes. His power is revealed when he looks around. He wears a gray cloth robe that is not old. , carrying a four-foot-long black wooden box slung across his back.

"What a strong man! This must be the tragic song of the north, a generous hero. The land south of the Yangtze River has warm mountains and soft water, but it cannot produce such a person."

After seeing the person clearly, Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel heartbroken by the other person's magnanimity and secretly applauded.

He guessed that this must be the owner of the locked Zen room, so he immediately stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute: "Young man Lan Xi Ning Caichen, may I ask the strong man Gao's name?"

The big man also looked him up and down, and said with a hearty smile: "It's easy to tell, Yan Chixia is from a certain Qin family!"
