Immortal Creation

More than a month ago.

South Bean Country.

The middle section of the Crocodile Dragon River.

Xuanlin City.

The streets were crowded with people on both sides.

The guards escorted an agency prison car and passed slowly.

In the prison car, a Jindan monk was heavily restrained by iron chains, his hair disheveled and his eyes closed tightly.

When the citizens saw this man, they became furious. While shouting curses, they threw countless rotten eggs, leftover leaves, rotten rice and even stones.

"Smash, smash this corrupt official to death!"

"If he hadn't embezzled the disaster relief funds, my grandfather wouldn't have starved to death."

"Conscience is really eaten by dogs. It is precious as a golden elixir. It is good to practice alone. However, as an official, you absorb the people's fat and anointing. It is more hateful than a demon cultivator! This is the fate it deserves!!"

The golden elixir prisoner always lowered his head, closed his eyes, and looked as if he was dead.

Looking at the noisy scene on the street from a distance, Zhu Xuanji sighed quietly and said to the group of people around him: "It's almost time for me to set off."

The current city lord of Xuanlin City on the side clasped his fists and saluted: "Thanks to Master Zhu, you took action this time and found out the black sheep. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark."

Zhu Xuanzhi smiled softly and looked at the city lord deeply: "Master Su, please take care of yourself."

After saying that, he got on his horse and left directly.

The city lord clasped his fists and watched Zhu Xuanji drift away, always smiling, with a cold light shining in his eyes.

"Ah, it's Mr. Zhu!"

"Master Zhu is here."

"Master Zhu, thank you, thank you for finding out the truth! If it weren't for you, woo woo woo..."

"Master Zhu, don't leave, don't leave! Just stay and be our official!"

First, one person took the lead and knelt beside the street, followed by the second and third.

The citizens knelt down one after another, crying, thanking, and begging.

On the same road, Zhu Xuanji and the prisoner Jindan walked, and received completely different responses.

Zhu Xuanzhi was riding on the horse, smiling and waving his hands.

With all the people respectfully seeing him off, he walked to the city gate and took one last look back at the kneeling people and the city lord standing at the end of the street.

"Su family..." Zhu Xuanji sighed, and a gloomy look came into his eyes.

He knew that the real messenger was the city lord named Su, but the latter was ruthless and killed people in time to silence them, preventing the evidence from falling into the hands of Zhu Xuanzhi.

The only one Zhu Xuanji could catch was a golden elixir cultivator under the city lord.

Zhu Xuanji accelerated his horse and quickly caught up with the prisoner escort team in front.

The team meandered all the way to a country road.

The monk in front suddenly yelled: "Who is it? You dare to intercept the imperial escort team and risk your life?!"

The person who intercepted the prison car quickly begged for mercy and said in an old voice: "My lords, I am definitely not a gangster, but I came here specifically to express my gratitude to Lord Zhu."

Zhu Xuanzhi's consciousness swept away and he immediately ordered: "Be calm and don't be impatient. I know this father-in-law and he is not an enemy."

He lightly kicked the horse's belly and rushed to the front of the team. When he saw a familiar face, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Old man, we meet again."

The old man bent down, bowed deeply, and said with tears: "I am ashamed, blind, and ignorant of true heroes. I once passed by the tea shop, and I even insulted you. If you don't come here to say thank you and apologize, I will have a hard time in my life."

Zhu Xuanji got off his horse, came to the old man, stretched out his hand to help the old man up: "Old man, has your family's field been returned to you?"

The old man shed tears again and choked up: "It's returned, it's returned. Not only my family, but also the farmland in our village has been returned."

"That's good." Zhu Xuanji nodded.

The old man took out a bag of spiritual stones: "Master Zhu, this is a thank you gift prepared by our village..."

Zhu Xuanzhi pushed his hands: "I will never accept it."

"This bag of spiritual rice is also from our village..."

Zhu Xuanji laughed and said, "Old man, I don't like these things."

The old man was a little anxious: "This is just a little thought from our village. I just want to express our endless gratitude. Mr. Zhu..."

Zhu Xuanzhi stretched out his hand: "My father-in-law, I still remember the first time we met. I passed by the tea shop you opened at the entrance of the village."

"You saw that I was so tired, and you took the initiative to invite me to sit down."

"I said with a smile that I had no money and couldn't afford tea. But you took the initiative to buy me a bowl of sugar water."

The old man nodded and wiped away his tears: "How come I don't remember?"

"Sir, you drank sugar water and asked about people's livelihood. I told you that there are officials in Xuanlin City who are incompetent and corrupt."

"Sir, you were asking for details, but I was so confused that I thought you were defending corrupt officials, so I was so angry that I overturned your candy."

"Hahaha." Zhu Xuanzhi raised his head and laughed a few times, "Just remember!"

He cupped his fists and said, "If I'm lucky enough, can I ask my husband to buy me another bowl of sugar water?"

The old man was stunned.

Seeing the seriousness and sincerity on Zhu Xuanji's face, his vision was blurred again, tears streaming down his face, and he nodded hurriedly: "Please, please! I am lucky enough to be able to invite Mr. Zhu to tea again."

Zhu Xuanji shook his head: "I don't want to drink tea. I just want to drink a bowl of sugar water."

The old man took out the storage bag and made Zhu Xuanji a bowl of sugar water in front of him.

Zhu Xuanji held the earthenware bowl and took a big sip, looking very happy: "Good, such sweet water!"

Seeing this scene, the guards remained silent.

After saying goodbye to the village elder, Zhu Xuanji continued on his way.

No one robbed anyone, and the journey was calm.

Entering the capital, before he could rest, he was immediately summoned by the king.

When he met the monarch, he knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "I am going to Xuanlin City to find out the details of corruption. Fortunately, I have not insulted my order..."

Snapped.

The King of Nandou slammed the table and yelled: "Zhu Xuanji! You entered the capital and handed over the prisoners. You don't want to come to see me and revive me. Do you have to come and summon you?"

"Happy luck? Haha."

"What did Gu tell you before you set off?"

"In the end, you went to Xuanlin City and still went your own way, ignoring Gu's instructions. You were lucky enough to live up to your fate? Do you think Gu wanted to call you to praise you?"

"I don't dare." Zhu Xuanji smiled bitterly.

The king of Nandou sighed: "Zhu Xuanji, Zhu Xuanji... you are a member of the royal family. Don't you know the importance of the Su family in our country?"

"You arrested Jindan's subordinates this time and made the Su family lose face. Several veterans of the Su family have already submitted their resignation forms, saying that the Su family's reputation cannot be destroyed."

"I asked you to investigate the case, not to disturb the court!"

Zhu Xuanji raised his head with a serious look on his face: "I don't agree with what the monarch said. I believe that the various major clans in Nandou Kingdom are so intertwined that they cannot lose their power. The Su family itself controls many fairy cities, and there are many People hold important positions in the court, exclude newcomers, and control government affairs."

"If this continues, they will become a major crisis for our Nandou country."

"As a royal family, we should give more support to new clans and new people, reshape the court's new atmosphere, take care of the common people, recruit talents from the people, and check and balance the old clans."

The King of Nandou snorted coldly: "Nonsense! In the past, when the Supreme Emperor opened up the country, the Su family sacrificed so much. How can we criticize and treat our country harshly for such great achievements in founding the country? If word spreads, how will the sages outside the country view our country?"

"Others have given you a title, 'Chayin Anmin Zhu Xuanji'. Are you really proud of it?"

Zhu Xuanji lowered his head: "I don't dare."

The King of Nandou sighed softly: "That's all."

"Perhaps I always have too high expectations for you. You have actually made much progress in handling this situation this time than before."

"I have read your secret instructions."

"The Su Family City Lord cannot escape his involvement, and everyone in the court knows it."

"But let's end this matter. The Jindan monk will be beheaded at Caishikou to show the public."

Zhu Xuanzhi volunteered: "I would like to be the executioner!"

Lord Nandou shook his head: "The court is unstable. As a member of the royal family, you have to think about being alone."

"With your status as an executioner, is it the intention of the royal family? Is it the intention of being alone? How can the subjects of the court not think wildly?"

"You don't want to stay in the capital anymore, go out."

"Just right..."

Lord Nandou took out a memorial from the corner of the table, threw it to the ground and gave it to Zhu Xuanji: "Get up and take a look."

Zhu Xuanji: "Yes."

He stood up slowly and stretched out his hand to grasp.

An invisible force picked up the memorial on the ground and fell into his hands.

Zhu Xuanji unfolded the memorial and read it quickly, with a look of surprise on his face: "Lava Immortal Palace?"

Lord Nandou: "Not bad."

"This is the former palace of the Three Sect Masters. It was built together by him and the Supreme Emperor during their tender love. It was originally buried in the Fire Persimmon Mountain to suppress volcanic riots and turn a bad place into a blessed place."

"Originally, it was going to suppress the earth fire within the mountain for more than a hundred years, but now it has been born."

"There must be something fishy in this."

"On your trip, you must investigate the origin of Lava Immortal Palace."

"This Immortal Palace contains the inheritance of the masters of the three sects. You should meet this standard. As for whether you can obtain the inheritance, it depends on your personal luck and ability."

"Although you and your team in Xuanlin City have made meritorious deeds, you have also made mistakes. You have your own difficulties, so I won't reward you or punish you. Just go to Lava Immortal Palace and see if you can get the inheritance."

"I accept the reward!" Zhu Xuanji thanked him. "I have the skills of the art of martial arts because of the cultivation of the royal family. I will do my best to find out the truth when I go on this trip."

Lord Nandou nodded: "I have three things to tell you."

"First, the Three Sect Masters have a close relationship with the Supreme Emperor of our royal family. It can be said that our clan's ability to establish a country relies heavily on the power of the Three Sect Masters. His contribution and influence can be regarded as the national teacher of our country."

"In his later years, the Master of the Third Sect arranged the Lava Immortal Palace in the Fire Persimmon Mountain. His intention was so profound that it is impossible to fathom. During your trip, please do not do anything brute force, let nature take its course, and do not disturb the good intentions of the Master of the Three Sects. "

"Secondly, the Supreme Emperor had no royal mandate at that time. It was all thanks to the masters of the three sects who used the magical power of the human life thread for him to have the benefit of harmony."

"After the Supreme Emperor, no one in my Zhu family has been succeeded, and life is hanging by a thread."

"One of the highlights of your trip is this magical power. If possible, strive for it with all your strength!"

"On the other hand, if we find that someone else understands this magical power, we will do our best to eradicate it and kill it in advance!"
