Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

"But after all this talk, he still hasn't said what position he wants." Chu Ling snorted.

She felt uncomfortable.

Was it a move by her father that she came to the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple to play with Xu Qingluo and the others?

Was her father using her?

Was her father using her to deal with Fakong?

She felt uncomfortable thinking about this and didn't want to believe it, but thinking back to Chu Xiong's style of doing things, she felt that Xu Qingluo might have been right.

If he had asked her to come to play with Xu Qingluo and the others, it was because he pitied her loneliness, and then he might have changed his mind and wanted to take the opportunity to let her understand Fakong, influence Fakong, or even find Fakong's weaknesses.

Fakong said, "I want a less busy position, without much authority, just a title, without having to do anything, so that I can save trouble and the emperor can save worry."

"If that's the case..." Chu Ling said, "There are many such idle positions, and many princes and nobles hold them."

Xu Qingluo said, "Master, it can't be too low, it's not pleasant to be suppressed by others."

Master has such prestige and such cultivation. If he gets a small official, he will have to bow to everyone he sees, which is humiliating.

"If it's high enough, it's the prince's junior protector, or the prince's tutor, the prince doesn't have either." Chu Ling said.

Fakong said, "Let the emperor decide what position it is. The emperor can find a few and I'll choose one."

"Okay." Chu Ling nodded, "This is the easiest way."

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Xu Qingluo stepped forward and took her arm, smiling, "Don't worry, Sister Chu. No matter what the emperor is thinking, we know what Sister Chu is thinking."

"It's all your fault, Qingluo!" Chu Ling rolled her eyes at her, "If you didn't say it, I wouldn't feel anything, but now that you say it, it feels awkward."

"It's awkward." Xu Qingluo smiled, "If it's not awkward, then it's not Sister Chu."

"Anyway, I'm coming." Chu Ling snorted.

Even if I have to be shameless, I have to come here to play. I can't stay in the palace, lonely and cold, miserable, and there is no fun in life.

It's really beautiful to get together with them and have fun.

"I said no, but Sister Chu didn't listen." Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "Besides, the sword formation of the four of us can't be without you."

"It's good that you know." Chu Ling smiled.

She glanced at Fakong, "Then I'll report to my father and bring those secret books tomorrow."

Fakong nodded.

——

After getting the secret method imprinted on the sphere, Fakong was not in a hurry to imprint it, but pondered it carefully.

Because it was too exquisite, he was extremely afraid.

It was easy for him to trigger the power of the Western Paradise, but it might not be so easy to trigger the power of the Absolute Heaven Escape Technique.

If he changed the power trigger in the sphere and let it absorb the power of the Western Paradise, if there was something wrong, he might not be able to change it back.

What's more, it seemed that the sphere converted the power of the Western Paradise and the power of the Absolute Heaven Escape Technique into the purest vitality, but what if there were still subtle differences?

This subtle difference may not be obvious in the early stage, will it cause unpredictable consequences in the future?

These all need to be carefully considered.

While pondering, he observed with his heavenly eyes.

It won't work to observe once, nor will it work for one or two days. He decided to observe for a month before making a decision.

This skill deserves such caution.

The next morning, when Fakong had just finished his meal and returned to the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple, he found that Xu Qingluo and the other three were sitting in the abbot's courtyard talking with Ning Zhenzhen.

Ning Zhenzhen was dressed in white clothes as white as snow. As her cultivation level improved, her temperament became more and more clear and aloof, without a trace of worldly breath.

She restored her original appearance, beautiful and cold, like a fairy from Guanghan Palace exiled to the earth.

Xu Qingluo asked her questions, curious and fond of her.

Among the four, Chu Ling was particularly curious and kept observing Ning Zhenzhen.

When they saw Fakong coming back, Xu Qingluo and the others had to let Ning Zhenzhen go and prepare to leave, so that Fakong and Ning Zhenzhen could talk alone.

Chu Ling pointed to the rosewood box under the stone table: "This is my father's secret book."

The rosewood box was about one meter square, thick and solid.

Fakong smiled and nodded gently.

These secret books must not be underestimated. If they are not much inferior to "The Interpretation of the Divine Power Saw", they will be of great help to him.

At this moment, martial arts skills are of little help to me, instead, those mysterious theories are more important.

Chu Ling said: "Father gave you a position, the deputy director of the Green Clothes Division."

"It's the deputy director?!" Xu Qingluo said dissatisfiedly: "If you want to enter the Green Clothes Division, you can just be the director, why do you want to be the deputy director?"

"I'm afraid I can't convince the public." Chu Ling said: "I asked my father, and he said that the Green Clothes Division is based on merit for promotion. Fakong just entered the division and used the matter of Zhenlongyuan as the basis for his merit. Being promoted to deputy director is already the limit, and it can't be higher."

Ning Zhenzhen looked over curiously, but didn't ask in a hurry.

Xu Qingluo snorted, "Master has done a lot, but he didn't mention it."

Chu Ling said, "In my opinion, Father is not going to establish the position of Si Zheng, only Deputy Si Zheng."

Xu Qingluo said, "Then what else?"

Chu Ling said, "Father said that he could also establish the Northern Supervisory Department and let him be the Si Zheng of the Northern Supervisory Department."

Xu Qingluo asked, "What does the Northern Supervisory Department do?"

"Supervise the Southern Supervisory Department and the Green Department, and also supervise all officials." Chu Ling said: "It is above the two departments and is solely responsible to the father."

"This..." Xu Qingluo frowned.

She felt that this was also ordinary, not as good as the deputy director of the Green Department.

Although he seemed to be the director, his status was also above the two departments, but he was only responsible for supervision and had no power.

If the Green Department was the eyes and minions of the emperor, the Northern Supervisory Department was just the eyes of the emperor.

Chu Ling said: "Which one do you want to choose?"

Fakong smiled and said: "Then let's go for the Northern Supervisory Department."

"Master." Xu Qingluo was puzzled.

Zhou Yang and Zhou Yu looked over curiously.

Ning Zhenzhen was even more curious.

Huixin was clear and perfect, but Xu Qingluo could not see it, and Zhou Yu was the same. Only Zhou Yang and Chu Ling had a glimmer of hope.

But there was an invisible force that obscured what they thought, like a layer of mist, vaguely invisible.

"Do you really want to be the chief of the Northern Supervisory Department?" Chu Ling said puzzledly: "The Northern Supervisory Department does not exist at all now, and you have no subordinates."

Fakong nodded: "That's exactly what I want, saving trouble."

"Okay." Chu Ling said: "I'll go and tell my father tonight. I think my father thinks you should be the deputy chief of the Green Clothes Department."

"Master, don't you want to think about it?" Xu Qingluo said.

Fakong waved his hand.

"Ah--!" Xu Qingluo sighed delicately, pulled Chu Ling and Zhou Yu away, and saluted Ning Zhenzhen before leaving.

Zhou Yang followed and left together.

Ning Zhenzhen and Fakong were the only ones left in the yard.

Ning Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Brother, are you going to be an official in the court?"

Fakong said helplessly, "It's just a show, and it's also to reassure the emperor. Otherwise, he will continue to be suspicious and make small moves, which is annoying."

Ning Zhenzhen nodded gently, "But why don't you be the deputy chief of the Green Clothes Department? I might even become your subordinate."

Fakong said, "The Green Clothes Department has too many secrets, and it's too difficult to get out."

"...Yes." Ning Zhenzhen frowned and nodded gently.

The deputy chief of the Green Clothes Department does control a lot of secrets and has a great influence on the court.

The emperor may not be really relieved.

Even if Brother becomes the deputy chief, he may be empty.

It's all an empty shell. It's better to be a chief, so that the emperor won't get another chief of the Green Clothes Department to disgust Brother in the future.

As the chief of the Northern Supervisory Department, there is only the emperor above him. If the emperor is really embarrassed, it will be more worry-free and labor-saving to face each other.

Footsteps sounded, Xu Qingluo brought two cups of tea, first replaced the new tea for Ning Zhenzhen, then for Fakong, and then left lightly.

Ning Zhenzhen stared at Xu Qingluo's back until she disappeared completely, then turned back: "Qingluo is really amazing, Senior Brother, you have accepted a good disciple."

She practiced more than 20 years later than herself, but her cultivation is almost catching up, which is really shocking.

"Not bad," Fakong smiled: "How do you feel about coming back this time?"

Ning Zhenzhen smiled and said: "Shenjing is still the original Shenjing, it seems that it has not changed at all, only I have changed."

I have changed too much, compared with when I left Shenjing, it seems that many years have passed.

I tried hard to pretend to be mature before, but I was still naive, but now I am truly mature.

Responsibility is the shortcut for a person to mature quickly.

Fakong said: "Take a good rest. Your heartstrings have been tense all the time. If you are too tense, it will hurt your body."

Ning Zhenzhen has been responsible for the entire Jade Butterfly Sect. She was originally just a secret agent, but now she has become the sect leader.

Because she likes the temperament of the disciples of the Jade Butterfly Sect, she took on the responsibility.

Double pressure.

Even if she tried her best to relieve and adjust, she still couldn't completely relieve the pressure and tension, and her heartstrings couldn't relax completely.

And she practiced the strange method of Huixin Tongming, which focused on adjusting the heart. If the heartstrings were tense under long-term pressure, there would definitely be problems.

This is also the reason why he asked Ning Zhenzhen to come back to visit her relatives.

Ning Zhenzhen nodded gently: "Returning to Shenjing, my body and mind are indeed relaxed, which is far better than any mental adjustment."

Fakong said: "Go back to Mingyue Temple, meet Uncle Lianxue, and then go to Yaogu to stay for two days."

"Brother, are you going back?"

"Go back."

"Okay."

The two did not say much about the matter of the North Supervisory Department. What Xu Qingluo and others think is extremely important is just that in Ning Zhenzhen's eyes.

While the two were talking, Li Ying had already appeared in front of the gate of the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple and stood quietly in front of the gate.

There was an endless stream of pilgrims in the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple, forming a long queue that extended all the way to Zhuque Avenue.

People glanced at Li Ying curiously.

Li Ying was dressed in a black robe, with a crystal-like face like jade and beautiful facial features. It can be said that she was so charming that people couldn't look directly at her.

Among the pilgrims, most men looked at her and turned away quickly, then couldn't help but take another sneak peek, and then turned away again.

This cycle continued endlessly, but they never got tired of it.

The women stared at her curiously.

Soon someone recognized her identity and started to discuss in a low voice.

Most of them did not know that Li Ying was the deputy director of the Green Clothes Division, but only knew that she was the young master of the Cantian Dao.
