Eternal Life: My Millennia in the Jiaofang Division

Chapter 157: National Master’s Ceremony

A strange scene appeared in front of the Jiaofang Secretary's door.

Many officials coming in and out were saluting and greeting the Imperial Master Chi Yunzi to show their respect.

But Chi Yunzi ignored everyone and instead bowed to the void with an extremely respectful attitude, just like a seventh-grade county magistrate paying homage to the prime minister of the dynasty.

Some people don't know why. Who can actually make the majestic master be so respectful?

But there were also many people who seemed to have thought of something, so they stepped back cautiously, not daring to stand in front of Chi Yunzi.

The confused people asked in a low voice: "Hey, why are you retreating? Who is the Imperial Master worshiping?"

"You don't know? Haven't you heard about what happened in the Jiaofang Division yesterday?"

"What's up?"

"You are too ill-informed. Do you know that an old man made a big fuss in Baihua Tower the day before yesterday?"

"Of course I know. It is said that half of the court's powerful officials came and were forced by the old man to kneel down and beg for mercy. In the end, it was the Imperial Master who came forward to resolve the matter."

"Tsk, tsk, it is said that the old man is a very powerful monk. Even the imperial master is not sure of victory, so he dare not take action directly. He has to provide good wine and tea."

"Yes, that old man is quite powerful, but he failed yesterday, right here in the Jiaofang Department."

"What, is there someone more powerful than that old man in the Jiaofang Department?"

"It's not just powerful, it's much more powerful. With just one move, that old man was eliminated."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. I was on the scene at the time, and the old man had no ability to fight back at all. Hey, there are really more and more powerful people in the capital."

"Yes, in the past, everyone had their heads sharpened and thought about ascending to a high position, one person below ten thousand people in the court. But now everyone has discovered that even if you become the prime minister, it doesn't matter in the end. Kowtow at the door of Baihua Tower?”

"Hey, the world is different."

Just when everyone was talking, a voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "So it's the Imperial Master. What's going on here?"

This voice is erratic, as if it is close at hand, and yet it seems far away. I wonder where its owner is?

"Master Deacon, I don't dare to call myself a master in front of you. You should call me Chiyunzi."

Chi Yunzi's attitude was very low: "Actually, Pindao should have come to visit you a long time ago. It's just that he has been busy with government affairs before, so he delayed it until today. Please forgive me."

"National Master, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Yes, sir."

Chi Yunzi pondered for a moment and said: "Sir, I know that I have no hope of reaching a higher level in this life's cultivation, so I want to enjoy the wealth and honor of the world before the decline of heaven and man, so I came to the Jin Dynasty to become a member of the Jin Dynasty. National Master, founded the Demon Slayer Division."

"so what?"

"So Pindao has never thought about replacing your Excellency in taking charge of the practice world of the Jin Dynasty, and he has no intention of challenging the majesty of the Ziwei Taoist Sect. Please be clear to me."

"hehe!"

Zhao Mu chuckled: "Master, you seem to be thinking too much. Do you think I am dissatisfied with you?"

"No, Pindao is just afraid of doing something that may unintentionally offend the adults, so I wanted to come and explain to the adults, lest the adults think that Pindao did it on purpose."

Chi Yunzi clasped his fists respectfully again.

"Haha, Imperial Master, you don't have to be like this. You established the Demon Slaying Division to deal with the demons and chaos in various parts of the Jin Dynasty. You are just helping the poor Taoist solve his problems. How can you blame the poor Taoist before he is happy?"

Zhao Mu smiled again and said: "In addition, if there are monsters that the Demon Slayer Division cannot solve in the future, the National Master can come to the Jiaofang Division to find me, and Pindao will definitely help. If even Pindao can't solve them, I can also report them. Sect, let the sect’s masters come.”

After hearing this, Chi Yunzi's hanging heart finally calmed down.

It seems that this deacon is indeed not a person who cares about power in the world.

That's good, so that I can stay in the Jin Dynasty safely.

Don't think that Chi Yunzi's coming here today is just making a fuss out of a molehill.

In fact, he had wanted to come today for a long time, but he had always thought that Zhao Mu was not in the capital, so he never moved.

First, Chi Yunzi was afraid of Zhao Mu's strength.

Chi Yunzi thought that his strength was a little inferior to that of Liang Kun. Since Liang Kun could not defeat the enemy with one move from Zhao Mu, he would naturally be even less capable.

When facing people who are stronger than you, there is no harm in being more respectful.

Secondly, Chi Yunzi was even more worried about Zhao Mu's background.

Those who have not lived in the world of immortality have no idea how high the status of the six major sects is in the world of cultivation in the Southern Territory.

That is truly a super sect.

As one of the six major sects, the Ziwei Taoist Sect has supreme authority in the world of immortal cultivation in the major vassal states.

Facing such a behemoth, how could Chi Yunzi deal with it carelessly?

"Thank you, sir."

Chi Yunzi continued: "By the way, Pindao has one more thing, and I want to get your permission."

"What's the matter?"

"Is such that."

Chi Yunzi said: "Nowadays, there are more and more practitioners coming to the Jin Dynasty, and the number of demons causing trouble is also increasing. The Demon Slayer Division may soon be short of manpower, so Pindao is thinking about whether he can Recruit some people from the demonic path to work in the Demon Slayer Division?"

Slaying the Demon Division and recruiting people from the Demonic Path?

This is interesting.

Zhao Mu smiled and said: "As long as those people in the demonic path are willing to serve, the Imperial Master can naturally recruit them. However, before letting them enter the court, it is best to investigate their past."

"The national master should also know the rules of my Ziwei Taoist sect."

"From ancient times to the present, our Ziwei Taoist sect has never judged sins based on the way of practice, but based on what you have done."

"If you practice the devil's way, but you have only practiced it with concentration and never done anything harmful to the world, I, the Ziwei Dao Sect, will not bother to care whether you practice sitting down or lying down."

"But if you do something harmful, even if you are also a Taoist monk, the Ziwei Divine Thunder of my Ziwei Taoist Sect will still hit you to the point of being completely destroyed. Does the Imperial Master understand?"

"clear."

Chi Yunzi nodded quickly: "Pindao will give instructions after we return. Anyone who wants to enter the Demon Slayer Division must check their past. If they are evildoers, they will not be tolerated."

"Is there anything else, Imperial Master?"

"No more, Mr. Deacon, I'll take my leave." Chi Yunzi saluted and prepared to leave.

Seeing Zhao Mu's voice disappear, the Minister of Rites became anxious and shouted quickly: "Master Deacon, Master Deacon, don't leave. I have something to say."

"Who are you?"

Zhao Mu's confused voice came.

"My Lord Deacon, Tan Zhong, the Minister of Rites, came here today to thank you for avenging my son's murder."

As the Minister of Rites spoke, he turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw two black boxes inside.

"This is a thank you gift prepared by my subordinate. Please accept it, Mr. Deacon."

As soon as he finished speaking, his face was filled with eagerness, waiting for Zhao Mu to come out to receive the gift.

But after waiting and waiting, Zhao Mu's figure never appeared.

The Minister of Etiquette is a little embarrassed. Doesn't that gentleman like the gifts I gave you?

Just when he was wondering, a mandarin duck suddenly flew out of the Jiaofang Division and landed at the door.
