Ascension Through Generations

Prison Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhao Sheng reported his Taoist number to the Taoist priest on duty and took out his token to explain that he had returned and resumed his duties.

"Taoist Sanbao? Hmm. Hmm?! You, you."

The Taoist priest on duty was originally nonchalant, but as soon as he sensed the ups and downs of Zhao Sheng's aura, his eyes widened and his mouth stammered.

"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke. I have successfully broken through the foundation building, and now I am about to return to Lord Du," Zhao Sheng said seemingly modestly.

After breaking through the realm, others also rejuvenated themselves. No wonder others couldn't recognize him at all.

"Senior Sanbao, please wait a moment."

The Taoist priest on duty bowed and then entered the door.

Not long after, he quickly turned around and took Zhao Sheng into the Inspectorate.

After passing through seven or eight layers of temple walls and crossing several palaces and courtyards, the two of them came to a small palace.

After informing the guards, Zhao Sheng met Lord Du Cha, one of the three capitals of the Hell Temple, for the first time.

According to rumors, this Lord Ducha transferred his position from the Demon Suppression Hall of the General Altar.

Zhao Sheng originally thought that this person was upright and awe-inspiring, he spoke and smiled freely, and his murderous aura shot straight into the sky.

But when he saw the real person, he suddenly realized that he was just an ordinary fat old man with a peaceful face and always smiling.

"Sit down. You are Taoist Sanbao! Not bad, not bad. You are indeed a talented person." The fat old man smiled and asked Zhao Sheng to sit down.

Zhao Sheng sat opposite this person in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, feeling secretly surprised.

This unassuming prison god Ducha turned out to be a real Jin Dan.

"Well, let me think about it. Taoist Sanbao is sixty-two years old. He comes from the Anhun Temple in Hufeng County. He has the spiritual roots of gold and fire. He has served as a prison guard for forty-five years. His achievements..."

This Lord Du Cha was actually able to tell Zhao Sheng's identity and his decades of experience in one breath, and he knew all the treasures from his family.

This ability to be knowledgeable and knowledgeable is simply astonishing!

Zhao Sheng was secretly surprised and couldn't help but lament that there were so many talents within the Tiandao Sect. Although the sect was extremely corrupt from top to bottom, this behemoth could not be underestimated because of this.

There are many masters of Tiandao Sect, and their background is unfathomable. The person in front of you is just the tip of the iceberg.

After Zhao Sheng heard this, he stood up and saluted: "The humble function is what it is today. Firstly, it is due to the careful cultivation of this religion. Secondly, it is the result of tempering in the divine prison."

"Okay! With such humility, it's no wonder that you can get out of the divine prison!"

Du Cha praised him: "Talents are rare. There happens to be a vacancy for the master of the Demon Suppression Hall in Zhenxia Mansion. Are you willing to go?"

Zhao Sheng secretly cursed this man with a kind face and a dark heart. He was originally from the Hell Temple, but he was tempted to transfer to the Demon Suppression Temple. It was strange that he didn't deliberately set a trap.

"Sir, I am a mere prison guard who has never fought with anyone. How can I be appointed to such a big responsibility? What's more, I was born as a man in the temple, and I will die as a soul in the temple. No matter how good the Demon Suppression Palace is, it can't beat it. The kindness of the Hell Temple.”

"Did you know that the resources needed to practice in the Foundation Establishment Realm are ten times and a hundred times more than those in the Qi Refining Realm? Just for elixirs, there is a world of difference between high-grade pills and low-grade pills."

Ducha said seductively: "The Demon-Suppressing Palace has many opportunities to perform meritorious service, and the salary is generous, and it can be redeemed for the superior skills unique to the Demon-Suppressing Palace. Among them is the Dao Bao Sutra that directly points to the Yuanying. You may not be unable to achieve the position of Yuanying in the future! "

"Xiao Dao was born in the Ennuary, and it was a fluke to break through the foundation building. I don't dare to expect more. I will be satisfied by continuing to be a prison guard in the Divine Prison."

Zhao Sheng refused again,

You demo, you still want to test me, but you are still far behind!

What's more, the Hell Temple and the Demon Suppression Temple are two different systems, and it would be difficult to transfer them to the other side.

"In that case, just stay in the temple. There is no need to go to the Divine Prison. The staff there is full. You can work in the file room and be a file manager."

The fat old man Ducha's face was as calm as water and his voice was calm, but he changed his position for Zhao Sheng in just one or two sentences.

After Zhao Sheng pondered for a while, he stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Sir, for your kindness! The path will certainly live up to the great expectations of Lord Ducha."

The Divine Prison has always been a dangerous place with no way in or out, and ordinary prison guards cannot get out even if they try their best.

Now, just one word from Ducha can save Zhao Sheng from the sea of ​​suffering.

Although he didn't know why this person took a fancy to him, it would be very abnormal for Zhao Sheng to reject this person's kindness.

Zhao Sheng left the Metropolitan Procuratorate and was led to the Job Department. After receiving a new identity token and Taoist robe from the Department, he walked to the Wendan Library.

In the hall, Old Taoist Ducha was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Did you notice any abnormalities?"

"With human bloodline, he majored in the "Red Lotus Karma Fire Sutra", his spiritual power and aura are pure, without any abnormalities."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow slowly rose under the chair where Zhao Sheng was sitting, and a pale white face gradually appeared distorted.

"As long as there are no abnormalities. Hmph, the Divine Prison is so terrible that a traitor has sneaked in. Now this temple has made a big joke like prison robbery. In this year's examination, this province will definitely be inferior. Now we have a good face. Sweeping the floors has become a joke in other provincial temples.”

"Now that Taoist Sanbao is a living brand, I can barely earn back some face."

"Hey, since when did you take the overall situation into consideration so much? The new temple priest can't deal with you."

"That fellow in Yushu is best at superficiality. A prison guard rarely breaks through to build a foundation. How could he let such a rare blessing go by. Rather than letting this fellow try to win over people's hearts, it's better for Pontu to be a good person first."

The pale white face said with a strange smile: "I see! If I remember correctly, the Pope has given the God-killing Sword to Yushu. It is a top-grade magic weapon. His transfer this time... could it be Come check that!"

The old man Ducha didn't respond. The matter was too involved and there were many inside stories, so he didn't dare to judge easily.

This thousand-year-old enchantress has ulterior motives. She may surrender to Yushu in the future. Misfortune will come from her mouth. It is best to be careful.

…

The Document Room is located in the southwest of the Divine Prison. It looks like an ordinary courtyard on the outside, but several huge warehouses have been dug underground in this courtyard to store confession slips and case files.

The documentation room is affiliated to the Temple of Prison Treasury and is a department parallel to the storage room.

But compared with the oily storage room, the document room is a clean water yamen.

Libraries and archives have always been like this, leisure is leisure. Talents can be produced, but they cannot make a fortune.

After entering the Treasury, Zhao Sheng successfully met the person in charge, presented him with an identity token, and stated his intention.

The custodian's surname is Gu Liudan. He is old-fashioned and cold-faced.

Zhao Sheng sensed it for a moment and knew that this person was also a foundation-building monk, with a cultivation level between the third and fourth levels.

The Hell Temple is worthy of being a provincial-level high temple. There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the temple. A mere treasury supervisor is also in the foundation building realm, and can even serve as the master of a temple when it is decentralized to prefectures and counties.

Seeing a newcomer coming to report, Gu Liudan forced out a smile and said, "Welcome colleagues to join our company. From now on, everyone will be in the same boat. There are two managers in the document room. I have informed them. Old Zeng will probably be here soon." ."

If you tell people to come, they will come.

In the blink of an eye, a thin old man with a sad face walked in outside the door.

"Haha, this guy looks familiar, he must be a new colleague. The old man's surname is Zeng Minglang, and he is a few years older than you. May I ask you your name?"

"My Taoist name is Sanbao, his common name is Zhao San. I have met Senior Brother Zeng." Zhao Sheng greeted Zeng Guanshi with a smile.

Under the mental induction, Zhao Sheng was slightly shocked. He couldn't figure out the depth of this person's cultivation. Could it be that he was another hidden master?

"Okay, spirit, energy and spirit are the three treasures of a human being. You've got this title well. It's better for you to come to the document room! I can finally take a breath. I have a bunch of idiots under my command, and I have to bother to teach them, which makes me mad!"

"Huh, Lao Zeng, if you stop visiting Yihongyuan a few times, can the document room be in such a mess as it is now? If you had given up on your hobby, my position as the warehouse owner would have been yours a long time ago."

"Oh, I don't dare. I still want to enjoy it for a few more years. If I become the owner of the warehouse, won't I, an old donkey, be exhausted?"

Gu Liudan interrupted with a look of disgust: "Okay, stop talking to me here. Why don't you take Junior Brother Zhao to get familiar with the environment?"

"My order! Junior Brother Zhao, let's go."

Zhao Sheng followed Zeng Lang out of the room and walked along the corridor to the yard behind.

"Junior Brother Zhao, you should be an old man in the temple. You don't need to be reminded of other rules to be careful in your words and deeds. You know it. Speaking of which, our file room is not that busy and there are not many rules. The daily task is to collect and Archive the county and government levels, as well as the jade slips and documents sent from the temple’s prison. Junior brother, do you understand? Isn’t it very simple!”

"I was once a prison guard. I know the responsibilities of the document room fairly well."

"Haha, that's it. Then I'll be relieved."

The two soon walked into an ordinary large courtyard.

In the courtyard, there are rows of small green brick courtyards. Each green-robed Taoist holds piles of jade slips and books in his hands, walking hurriedly through the courtyards, looking extremely busy.

Zeng Lang led Zhao Sheng from room to room in the small courtyard.

There is no sign on the door of the small courtyard, but Zeng Lang has many treasures: "Monster room, sneaky room, devil repair room, evil repair room, heretic room..."

There are a total of thirteen separate rooms in the document room, and each room has four or five clerical managers.

When these clerks saw the new envoy, they quickly bowed and bowed their heads in fear.

The clerks were all mortals. They were very different from Zhao Sheng and Zeng Lang, so their attitude was extremely humble and they did not dare to show any slightness.

"There are thirteen archives underground in our document library. There are many restrictions inside. You must bring your identity token every time you enter, otherwise you will be killed by the prison god puppet guarding the archives. Remember this!"

Zhao Sheng came to the underground archives and almost thought he had returned to the divine prison.

This underground warehouse is not small in size, with a cold and dark interior, narrow corridors, and lingering evil spirits. It seems to be adjacent to the divine prison, or the two were simply excavated at the same time, otherwise it would not look like this ghost.

On both sides of the warehouse door on each floor, there are two tall puppet guards in black armor and armed with swords. They exude a cold and ruthless atmosphere, and are actually somewhat similar to the golden elixir puppets that guard Abi Prison.

Only two administrators can enter the thirteen underground floors of the document library. Other documents can only enter the corresponding floor. If you accidentally enter other floors, you will be immediately killed by the puppet without any hesitation.

Zeng Lang led Zhao Sheng into several floors of the archives. The bookshelves inside were as dense as a forest, and the jade slips of case files were piled up like mountains. They were full of staleness, and many case files were covered with thick dust.

Zhang Cheng explained to Zhao Sheng as he walked: "The job for the two of us is very simple. Every day we just keep an eye on the documents filed under our hands, sort out the documents, and sort out any useful information. As long as no one makes any mistakes and no one leaks the secret, everything will be fine for us. . Drink a little wine and listen to songs every day, and your life will be more comfortable than that of a god."

Although he didn't say this, Zhao Sheng knew that the two of them had far more important responsibilities than Zeng Lang said.

In the document room, being tight-lipped and hard-working is the most important thing, followed by loyalty to the Tiandao Sect.

Zhao Sheng's background was extremely innocent, coupled with many years of prison guard career, he had to go through many tests before he could successfully be promoted to the position of envoy.

Zeng Lang briefly explained the work process and gave some instructions for attention.

Zhao Sheng immediately understood how the document room operates normally.

Collecting, organizing, summarizing and filing confessions and case files is a very boring and time-consuming task.

Fortunately, Guanshi doesn't have to deal with these trivial matters. As long as there are no problems in the rooms, this seat will be very free.

"Hey, I've been on duty for a month and I'm tired. Junior brother, you are young and energetic, so you can help me share the burden.

"OK."

Zeng Lang couldn't wait to hand over the duty to Zhao Sheng, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the light.

Zhao Sheng narrowed his eyes and was secretly alert. This person was probably at least in the late stage of foundation building, and maybe even higher.

…

Zhao Sheng quickly adapted to life in the document room. It's both busy and boring at the same time.

As a warehouse manager, if you want to fulfill your duties faithfully, you will have endless things to do on weekdays, but if you want to be lazy, there is usually nothing to do.

Just like Zeng Lang, the senior envoy, he didn't even bother to enter each room. As long as his clerks didn't come to see him, he was happy and leisurely.

When Zhao Sheng came, Zeng Lang was delighted from the bottom of his heart. In the first two months, he persuaded and persuaded Zhao Sheng to sit at work for two months on the grounds that he was familiar with the affairs of each room.

He himself was doing well. He only came back three or four times in two months. Every time he came back, he smelled of alcohol and had a fragrant aroma. He was definitely an old pervert and a rotten drunkard.

Zeng Lang spent lavishly on spiritual stones, and even though his pockets were empty, he even shamelessly asked Zhao Sheng to borrow them several times.

After Zhao Sheng lent him more than 300 spiritual stones, he would not borrow them again easily.

After all, he had just been promoted from a miserable prison guard, so he couldn't lose his poor persona.

It's funny to say that an expert suspected of being a golden elixir actually ended up in such a miserable situation.

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but wonder if what he saw before him was some kind of illusion.

One day more than two months later, Zeng Lang suddenly came to the door and said urgently: "Junior brother Sanbao, come with me quickly. The temple priest calls you over."

"The temple priest is looking for me?" Zhao Sheng was confused.

After serving for the past two months, he already knew that the new priest in the temple was an acquaintance from back then, Taoist Priest Yushu.

But this person suddenly summoned him, for what reason?

As the saying goes, there is no sect in the temple, and there are all kinds of strange things.

Since Zhao Sheng accepted Ducha's "good intentions", he naturally became a member of his group.

The inappropriate relationship between Yushu and Ducha has almost been made public, and Zhao Sheng has naturally heard about it.

"Senior Brother Zeng, what does Master Miaozhu want from me?"

"How do I know this? But it shouldn't be a bad thing. Think about it, there are not many foundation-building monks in the temple. If you put it in the lower states and counties, you can be the master of a temple and manage three thousand miles of mountains and rivers. The temple blessing should just want to see you. After all, you, a foundation-building monk promoted from a prison guard, are rare to see in a hundred years."

"I remember that after I was promoted to Foundation Establishment, I had been prosperous for decades, and I passed hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every year. The life I lived at that time was incredible, you can't even imagine it!"

The two of them walked and chatted, and soon walked into a simple courtyard.
