Volume 1: Return in the Long Night 89, The Criminal Division of the Three Realms
"Don't mention it." Wang Bo said with a bitter smile, "The sword fetus I have been cultivating for three years is in urgent need of Suzaku Black Iron. I have traveled to many places without seeing it, and there is no trace of it at this trading conference. It seems that I can only continue to wait."
Xie Qingyun thought about the first time he participated in the trading conference and met "Chang Ye" who was very compatible with him. He didn't know how much luck he had spent, and he sighed: "Maybe the opportunity has not come yet, Wang Daoyou must not act too hastily."
Wang Bodao: "That's it. Calamity will always accompany you on the path of spiritual practice, and your Taoist heart cannot be shaken."
Wu Xuanbin smiled and said: "After all, magical weapons are things outside the body, and one's own cultivation is the most important thing. The duel between Taoist friend and the master disciple of Shi Xuanmen was really heart-wrenching. I never thought that Taoist friend would have such skills in the way of swordsmanship."
It is very difficult to practice with such attainments. I am so impressed that I can still do so brilliantly when I am distracted by other things."
"Excessive praise." Xie Qingyun secretly felt hot. He has lived in two lives, and his sword skills are accumulated in his previous life and have nothing to do with this life. However, he only entered the immortal path three years ago, so it cannot be regarded as "cheating".
After a while, the dishes came out one by one, and Simon cheered and started to use his chopsticks.
Xie Qingyun knocked on the back of her hand and said with a straight face: "If you eat without saying hello, there are no rules at all."
She glared at Xie Qingyun angrily, and then reluctantly shouted: "Hello, uncle, uncle, let's eat."
"Eat, eat, you're welcome."
Both uncles couldn't laugh or cry.
After drinking for three rounds, Wang Bo said: "Have you received any notice, fellow Taoist? The expeditionary army will meet tonight to discuss and set out to suppress the bandits early tomorrow morning."
Xie Qingyun nodded and said: "Fairy Manshu has sent someone to inform you."
Wu Xuanbin sighed: "Fellow Daoist just recognized the fairy and said many things to her, which really makes me envious and jealous."
Xie Qingyun said "Hey": "Fellow Taoist Wu, if you really like her, then take the initiative to find her. If you hide in the crowd and peek at her, can she know who you are?"
"Fellow Taoist, you don't understand," Wu Xuanbin said sadly, "My family is just a small fortune, and she is a disciple of the Qingjian Sect. Her status is too different. If she approaches her rashly, she will only bring humiliation to herself."
Xie Qingyun said: "I don't understand, but if you really like someone, you will risk your life to get close to her." He smiled and patted Wu Xuanbin on the shoulder, "Tonight is a perfect opportunity, you are not here for her
Have you prepared a sword box? During the discussion, be bold and send it out."
Wu Xuanbin smiled bitterly.
Wang Bo said awkwardly: "Qingyun doesn't know something. Regarding the sword box, Fairy Manshu has already made a choice. It was given by Bai Zhantian of the Taiyi Sect. The Taiyi Sect is best at refining weapons, and the sword box is from Bai Zhantian's master.
It was made by Taoist Zun Duobao, and it is said that it suits the fairy's wishes very well; the one Xuan Bin has is impossible to give away."
"Really?" Xie Qingyun shrugged and picked up a piece of chicken, but was intercepted by Si Nan with chopsticks. He glared at Si Nan and said, "It seems that I need to tell you a story about 'Kong Rong gave up the pear'!"
Si Nan stared back not to be outdone.
The two immediately started a chopstick meat fight.
Wang Bo and Wu Xuanbin looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"By the way, you two, I have a question. Where is the 'Dream Blue'? Are every trading conference held in Huaiyin County?" Xie Qingyun asked vaguely while chewing the spoils.
Wang Bo looked at him in surprise: "Don't you know, fellow Taoist Qingyun?"
"I really don't know." Xie Qingyun said.
Wang Bodao: "The reason why this trading conference was chosen to be in Huaiyin County is because the headquarters of the Heavenly Thieves Alliance is deep in the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. The Deep Blue venue belongs to the Daomen, and the Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce only rents it from the Daomen."
"Tao Sect?" Xie Qingyun was quite surprised. Tao Sect has a great influence on the world, and it can be found everywhere.
"This dark blue venue is part of the Taiyuan Realm." Wang Bo said, "As for the Taiyuan Realm, the two of us have only heard of it, but have never seen it. It is said that it is a different space discovered and developed by Taoism, and it is not in the Three Realms.
Among the five elements.”
He only half-understood it and explained it half-baked. Xie Qingyun didn't listen, but after hearing it, he became even more confused. He simply gave up thinking about the problem and concentrated on grabbing food from Si Nan.
At this time, he suddenly stopped using his chopsticks and turned to look behind him. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw Chang Dian standing on the railing of the balcony, looking at him with a smile and saying, "Fellow Taoist, please lend me a step to speak."
When Xie Qingyun saw that he had finished speaking and climbed onto the roof without waiting for his reply, he could only say: "I'll be back as soon as I go." After saying that, he ducked to the balcony and climbed onto the roof.
When Chang Dian saw him coming up, he gently pressed down with his palms, and an invisible aura enveloped the two of them.
"The origin of the little girl next to my fellow Taoist is by no means simple."
Xie Qingyun didn't expect Chang Dian's opening remarks to be like this. He knew what he was talking about and said calmly: "What Taoist friend Chang wants to say, you might as well say it directly."
Chang Dian looked at him and smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist, I know that I am a businessman. Under the way of heaven, in all the worlds, there is nothing that I will not sell, and there is no person who will not sell to me. But today, I am willing to give you a free piece of advice.
.”
"Oh?" Xie Qingyun said.
Chang Dian stared at him sternly: "Get rid of her as soon as possible, otherwise, fellow Taoist disciples will soon be destroyed."
To borrow a word from the Tiger of Crime Unit, Cao Dahua: Are you teaching me how to do things?
Xie Qingyun hated the nagging people most in his life. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You called me up just to talk about this?"
"Fellow Taoist misunderstood." Chang Dian said with a smile, "The next step is buying and selling."
"Oh?" Xie Qingyun said.
Chang Dian looked at the setting sun, as if he could see the whole world at a glance: "fellow Taoist, do you think Dongli is big?"
"Big, not big either." Xie Qingyun said.
"How do you say that?" Chang Dian said.
"That's half of the places where gods died within a million miles." Xie Qingyun said.
"Even including the place where the gods died," Chang Dian said lightly, "Dongli is nothing more than a fingernail. The universe is mysterious and mysterious, and there are many things beyond imagination. And those things beyond imagination,
Compared with her, it’s nothing. If fellow Taoist insists on taking care of her affairs, I have a suggestion.”
Xie Qingyun pondered for a moment and said: "What's next, is the paid content?"
Chang Dian said: "Yes, but I am willing to set a precedent for fellow Taoists, listen first and pay later."
"What do you mean?" Xie Qingyun asked.
Chang Dian said: "If fellow Taoists benefit from this in the future, the cost will be compensated by the fellow Taoists at that time."
Xie Qingyun said: "If you know her origin, why don't you tell me directly?"
"I vaguely know something about this," Chang Dian said with a smile, "but I can't tell you."
Xie Qingyun frowned. After thinking about it, he said, "Then say what you can."
Chang Dian laughed happily. Seeing his smile, Xie Qingyun felt like he was at a disadvantage and couldn't help but said: "Can you stop laughing like this? I always feel that I have been fooled by you, can you be more relaxed?
"
"Fellow Taoist should know about the 'Tianshan Covenant'." Chang Dian said.
Xie Qingyun got angry when he heard this: "Is it that agreement that the sect's internal affairs are in charge of itself?"
Chang Dian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "The Tianshan Covenant stipulates that each faction is not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of other sects."
Xie Qingyun sneered: "So the dignified sect can't even deal with a criminal."
"That's not the point." Chang Dian said.
"What's the point?" Xie Qingyun asked.
Chang Dian said: "The key point is that after the Tianshan Covenant, Xuandu Jade Palace took the lead and built a Three Realms Punishment Division on the Tianshan Mountains."
"Is there really such a place?" Xie Qingyun opened his eyes wide. He had heard it from Wu Ya and thought he was just talking about it.
Chang Dian said: "The three realms mean the three realms of heaven, earth, and man. In fact, they are all heavens and realms, encompassing everything and taking care of everything. And the word "ti" of punishment means to control; the punishment of "ti" means the world.
The General Secretary is responsible for all punishments and laws. The power of the Criminal Division is huge. I will only tell you a little bit and you will understand."
He looked at Xie Qingyun and said word by word, "The Taoist Academy is called Taoist Academy, but in fact half of the power belongs to the Punishment Division. The reward order for annihilating the Heavenly Thieves Alliance was nominally issued by the Taoist Academy, but the order was issued behind the scenes.
It’s the punishment department.”
Xie Qingyun's pupils shrank and he gasped. Doesn't this mean that the top leader of the Criminal Division indirectly controls half of the Taoist sect's power?
Chang Dian paused for a while, giving him enough time to digest, and then continued: "Every position in the Criminal Division needs to go through strict selection at all levels, and is usually filled by the best disciples of the major factions."
Xie Qingyun felt that these things were infinitely far away from him, like things from two worlds. He sighed: "What do you want to say when you tell me this?"
Chang Dian smiled slightly: "If you want to take care of her affairs, then becoming an 'immortal official' is your only choice."
Xie Qingyun frowned and said: "The position of Criminal Division can only be held by the best disciples of the major factions? I am neither outstanding nor have any influence background. Isn't this a fantasy for me?"
He turned to look at Chang Dian and found that there was no one around him.
"Xie Qingyun, the 'Silver Bounty Catcher' of the Taoist Academy was registered in the Criminal Division. That is your only promotion channel, so take advantage of it."
The voice is still in my ears, but Chang Dian has disappeared.
Xie Qingyun couldn't help but fell into deep thought. This man has a mysterious origin and seems to know many secrets, but why would he tell me this? From a motive point of view, it should be a long-term investment, but why me?
This man talked to me and paid attention to the long night many times. Could this be the opportunity for him to decide to "invest"?
Thinking of this, he reached out and touched Chang Ye on his waist: This knife came from Mingwufang, where is Mingwufang?
He looked into the distant sky. The last ray of the setting sun had faded away, and the world fell into darkness: "Now it is certain that unraveling the cause and effect on Si Nan requires extremely strong strength and background..."
"Xie Qingyun, come down quickly and pay the bill. We agreed to treat you, but you hide up there and let people pay. You are really thick-skinned."
Si Nan's urging voice came from Yaxi.
This stinking monster, I shouldn't hesitate and just give up... Xie Qingyun's face darkened.
