After Zhang Yu came out of the Bright Light Daoist Palace, he turned back to the Shouzheng Palace. Just as he reached the steps, he saw petals of all colors floating around the temple, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard.
It was already the end of December, and in a few days, it would be the 382nd year of the Great Xuan calendar.
Xuanting only recorded the year, and there was no mention of a new year. However, the deities on duty seemed to yearn for it. Red lanterns were hung under the eaves of the palace, and they had all changed into new clothes and outfits.
In addition, there was a legend in the secular world that there would be a Nian beast that would appear during the new year, and it needed to be scared off with firecrackers. This was only a legend among the people, but in the upper levels, because of the sentient sentiments of many creatures, this Nian beast really existed. Every time the new year alternated with the old one, it would run out.
Of course, the Nian beast wouldn't dare to come to the Xuan Zun Daoist Palace, and would only attack the deities' residences. As long as there were deities on duty in the Xuan Zun Daoist Palace, they would light firecrackers to show that they had roots, so they wouldn't be attacked.
When he walked in, a goddess on duty walked over. She bowed respectfully and handed over a golden booklet, saying, "Guard of the Righteous Palace, the new year is about to arrive. Snow Master is in charge of scattering auspicious snow on New Year's Eve. Is she in charge of guarding the main palace?"
Within the Magnetic Dome of Heaven, menstruation, wind and snow, mountains and rivers, and solar terms were all in charge of the deities on duty.
Of course, it wasn't that the cultivators couldn't do it themselves, but that these deities had something to do, so they wouldn't have to think about the lower bound all day.
In the past, the deities who secretly sneaked into the lower bound were all contaminated by the outside world, and in the end, they transformed into all kinds of monsters, without exception.
At first, Qing Qiong tried to capture and imprison them, but found that this kind of thing didn't stop. Later, he ruthlessly destroyed them, and ordered the deities to patrol and guard. Only then did this kind of thing stop.
Zhang Yu picked up the brush, ticked on the golden book, and said, "Just follow the old rules."
The deity on duty nodded and asked, "In the new year, there will be a dance and music drama in each palace, Shouzheng, do you want to watch it?"
Zhang Yu, "There is a drama, I won't watch it. The deities on duty can go and watch it. Since it's the new year, I'll give you half a month's break."
The woman on duty revealed a joyful expression, bowed and said gratefully, "Thank you for guarding."
Zhang Yu nodded, waved his sleeves and waved his sleeves, and let her go.
He then returned to the side hall and took a look at Miao Danjun. This little leopard cat was now in a deep slumber. He understood that this was due to the nourishment from the upper layer of heaven and earth and the elixir powder, causing it to enter a state of growth. Moreover, this little leopard cat had a faint trace of mysticism on its body. If he was not mistaken, this was the precursor of the emergence of a divine ability.
He casually set up a layer of restriction and returned to the main hall. After sitting down in the hall, he transformed into a clone and went to the Kui Mansion to spend the new year with Li Qinghe, Qing Shu, Qing Xi, and the others. Meanwhile, he studied the Daoist books and thought about how to improve the incantation.
The problem with the cultivators was that Monk Hunjang didn't treat them as his own people. There was no one to guide them, and the cultivators at the bottom could easily become chaotic monsters. This made them unwelcome, and many people's minds became more and more twisted.
However, this was a path to the Great Dao. If it could be straightened out, it would give the cultivators at the bottom another choice.
If others didn't want to do it, then he would do it.
In the depths of the West Vault Heaven, somewhere in You City, Gan Bai was focused on the Daoist chapter, rebuking the provocative messages one by one.
At this moment, a disciple came up the cliff and handed him a glowing letter, "Xuan Zun, a letter from the main palace."
Gan Bai withdrew his consciousness from the Daoist chapter and took the letter. He curled his lips and said, "You're still using the method of sending letters? Is it so difficult to find a Xuanxiu or a cultivator? "
The letter trembled slightly, and a voice came from it, "Xuan Zun, Master said that if we use the Daoist chapter to send letters, our secret will be easily exposed. It's better to be careful."
Gan Bai said, "You said it so righteously. You're just afraid that if we use the Daoist chapter to send letters, you'll be useless."
The letter complained, "Xuan Zun, you've wronged me. I don't have such thoughts. I'm very loyal."
Gan Bai didn't have the mood to talk to a letter. He opened it and flipped through it. He saw that it was about to be the new year. According to the rules, the main palace would gather the guards of each city for a meeting. He wanted to send his clone there. This time, the meeting was mainly about how to deal with the recent Xuntian Dao Zhang.
Gan Bai curled his lips. You City's meeting was actually imitating Xuanting's court meetings.
However, you could learn from the surface, but not from the inside. Xuanting controlled the power of the secular world, and there were also Xuanfu everywhere to suppress them. They were one from top to bottom, orderly, and could really solve problems. You City's guards were usually scattered all over the void. Suddenly, they ignored them. The meeting was to discuss a bunch of things that seemed feasible, but were actually impossible to accomplish.
The more he compared it to Tianxia, the more he felt that You City was too lousy. Here, only upper-class cultivators like him had a good life.
"This lousy You City will be finished sooner or later." He muttered in his heart. He threw the letter to the side and said, "I know. Go back and tell the main palace that I will be there."
The letter floated around and stopped. It was also very happy that it had accomplished something. It said, "Then I wish Gan Xuan Zun good fortune and longevity. I will take my leave." After it finished, it flew out and disappeared in a ray of golden light.
In the upper level of the sky, because there was no court meeting for a month, it passed peacefully. It was the middle of the second month. As the bell rang, the court officials gathered again.
The court meeting had just begun. The Daoist on the first seat had just asked the questions. Daoist Zhangsun rang the bell, stood up and bowed. He presented his proposal to Feng and Gao.
"First Deacon, Feng Zixian and Gao Mo were supported by Xuanting to take up the position of Court Officials. However, regardless of their merits and cultivation, they are not worthy of this position. Therefore, I request that they be removed from their positions as Court Officials to replace Xuanting."
The Daoist on the first seat looked at him and then looked at everyone else. He said, "What do you all think?"
Daoist Zhong rang the bell from his seat. He said, "I think that these two still have some merits."
At this moment, he spoke on behalf of the two of them. It could be considered as fulfilling his promise. However, he was very clear that as long as the First Deacon did not object, this matter could be accomplished. If the First Deacon objected, regardless of whether he agreed or not, it would be the same.
Feng and Gao glanced at each other, then stood up.
Daoist Feng bowed to the people above. He said, "First Deacon, Deacons, Zhangsun Tingzhi is right. We are not virtuous and have little talent. We are willing to give up our positions."
Ever since Xuan Fa was reinstated, they had long thought that this day would come. Now, they did not value the position of Court Officials as much. After all, they felt that they did not have much say in the first place. Hence, there was nothing to lose. Currently, the most important thing was to deduce and perfect their own cultivation.
The Court Officials were a little surprised. If the two of them insisted on the position of Court Officials, although they could understand, they would not think highly of the two of them. But now, they thought highly of them.
The Daoist on the first seat said slowly, "Feng Tingzhi, your ascension to the position of Court Officials was decided by Xuanting. What is wrong with that? You can just sit here peacefully. "
The cultivators in the court saw that he only mentioned Feng Tingzhi and did not raise the position of Court Officials. They immediately understood what he meant.
Daoist Feng was supported by Xuanting in order to promote Xuan Fa. From the beginning to the end, it was not his own intention. However, Daoist Gao was different. His achievements were due to the unscrupulous cultivators behind him. In the past, Xuanting only pushed the boat along and did not take the initiative. Now, he wanted to correct this mistake.
Daoist Gao also understood at this moment. He bowed to the people above and said, "I am willing to take up the position."
The Daoist on the first seat looked around and said, "What does everyone think?"
Daoist Zhong did not say anything. He felt that it was a pity. It seemed like this was the only way. The Chief Officials did not intend to remove both of them. It could be that they were considering the importance of Xuanxiu Fa. Thus, they needed to leave one person in the court to calm the people.
Chao Huan said, "Since Gao Tingzhi is willing, why should we stop him?" He raised the jade mallet and knocked it, agreeing with this suggestion.
Following that, no one had any different opinions. Thus, they all knocked the jade chimes. Even Daoist Zhong and Daoist Zhangsun were no exception. Because they knew that they could not change this result.
However, it was good to be able to snatch one person's position. Moreover, they could come up with a plan for the vacant position of Court Officials.
At this moment, Daoist Gao said, "Chief Officials, all Court Officials, since you are not Court Officials, there is no point in staying here. I will leave now."
The Daoist on the first seat said, "Daoist Gao, the discussion in the court will only be announced after the court discussion. Only then will it be considered valid. You should stay here first. It will be considered a conclusion."
Daoist Gao knew that he was taking care of his face. He immediately bowed and thanked, "Thank you, Chief Officials."
The Daoist on the first seat looked at everyone and said, "Do the Court Officials have any other suggestions?"
Just as he finished speaking, a jade chime sounded above the light. Daoist Yu Su stood up and bowed, "Chief Officials, Iluoshang Continent's Chief Xuan Guo Zhen. He has guarded Iluoshang Continent for more than seventy years. He is conservative and conservative.
He does not follow Tianxia's rules. He does not promote Daoism and does not care about the people's lives. Now that Iluoshang Continent is compared to the other continents, there is a huge difference. Therefore, I propose to snatch his position as Chief Xuan and ask for his reprimand! "
When he said this, Daoist Zhong could not help but be shocked. He did not expect Daoist Yu Su to point the spear at Iluoshang Continent. He knew about the various problems in this continent. In the past, he had secretly sent a message to Xuan Chief Guo Zhen to let go and improve the people's lives. At least on the surface, it would not be so ugly.
However, Guo Zhen did not care about it at all. This made Daoist Zhong very unhappy.
However, this Upper Continent was the Upper Continent that supported him and Daoist Chong the most. He even wanted to push Guo Zhen to take the position. Therefore, he had to refute on behalf of Guo Zhen. Therefore, he stood up and said, "Chief Officials, all the Court Officials, when the Turbid Tide came, the ground and land shifted. The path of Dao was cut off. Every continent was attacked by all kinds of strange gods.
That day, the most important task was to protect the people of the Upper Continent. No matter what methods were used, it was to deal with the dangerous situation. Since Xuan Chief Guo defended the Upper Continent in the end, he has done well. We should not criticize this matter anymore. "
