Eat a Taiyi Taoist

Chapter 88 Three People, Two Things

"teacher."

Tao Tie finally arrived at the duty room of the chief steward and bowed to Huang Junshi who was sitting in the armchair.

When he bowed, he realized that the duty room inside and out was extremely clean, without a speck of dust or ash.

I don't know when the cleaning was done.

Huang Junshi looked Tao Tie up and down and was quite satisfied: "You have practiced well, keep it up."

"The teacher taught well."

Tao Tie replied sincerely.

Although Huang Junshi only gave him a few classes on the basic knowledge of the Five Elements from beginning to end, he also taught him one-on-one, imparted knowledge, and answered his questions in private, by both words and deeds.

The more so, the more precious it is.

Because it teaches students in accordance with their aptitude, is not bound by form, and is more energy-consuming.

“You’ve learned well.”

Huang Junshi frankly accepted the praise for his good teaching, but he did not take all the credit. One is one, two is two, and it is what it is.

Then he changed the subject and said, "The Grand Ancestor divided the realms into nine levels based on the amount of mana. Although it is shorter than the traditional five realms, it has its own purpose. Now that you have escaped the ninth level and returned to the traditional five realms, it can only be said that this is more suitable for you. It's not that the ninth level has no merits. Do you understand?"

Since the matter involved Taizu, Huang Junshi did not explain it in detail.

Tao Tie understood the implication as soon as he heard it.

Taizu's life's work focuses on eight words: all living beings, the general public!
The traditional five realms are actually closer to the Tao, but are more suitable for the scarce elites and geniuses, and less suitable for the large number of mediocre talents, ordinary talents, or even mediocre people.

The nine grades are divided according to the amount of magic power, and are applicable to everyone.

If there are elites or geniuses who are enlightened by their teachers or "awaken" on their own and leave the ninth level and return to the traditional five realms, the Heavenly Dynasty will never stop them and will even strongly encourage them.

This is true in secret and in public as well.

This is like a complete three-level education system of primary, secondary and tertiary education, with nine years of compulsory education, middle and high school entrance exams, various competitions, and admission by recommendation!
It benefits the general public, capturing a huge base, and also focuses on elite talents, capturing that small handful.

Grasp with both hands and make both hands strong.

"It seems you really understand."

Huang Junshi looked at Tao Tie's expression and smiled, "In that case, I don't need to say anything more. Let's talk about business first."

"Yes, I take care of everything."

Tao Tie responded and immediately changed his address, then said seriously, "According to the order of the governor, I have sorted out the Yudai River. I have completely uprooted Liuhe Lianhuanwu and moved the Yudai River Water Temple at Yueyuji. I have also made relevant plans for long-term inspections of the Yudai River. Please give me your instructions, governor."

"Very well, let's do it."

Huang Junshi nodded, "You came to see me during lunch break, you must have something personal to tell me, tell me now."

Tao Tie immediately said, "Teacher, Mengxi Sanren wants to discuss something with me, and I would like to ask you to be a witness."

"can."

Huang Junshi agreed without thinking, and then asked, "When? Here?"

Without giving Tao Tie a chance to answer, he said, "Let's do it here. You don't have to worry about the time. I'll make the appointment."

"Thank you, teacher."

In response, Tao Tie had nothing to say except to express his sincere gratitude.

Even though they meet in the same duty room, the "deterrent" effect can be completely different when he invites them himself and when the teacher invites them.

Tao Tie is already good enough, but he has practiced for a short time and lacks strength. He will definitely be at a disadvantage when facing Mengxi Sanren and Jingling Mountain behind Mengxi Sanren.

Even though Mengxi Sanren seems to have good intentions, we cannot be careless.

This is what it means to see the world at its worst.

After a while, Huang Junshi said, "Wait here for a moment, Mengxi Sanren will be here soon."

"Okay, teacher."

Tao Tie agreed immediately and found a chair to sit down.

Soon, Mengxi Sanren arrived.

"You guys talk, I'll just listen."

As the host, Huang Junshi directly waved his hand to express his attitude, allowing Mengxi Sanren and Tao Tie to communicate on their own.

Mengxi Sanren was a little surprised by this, but quickly accepted it and sat in front of Tao Tie.

Tao Tie sat quietly, waiting for Mengxi Sanren to speak.

Meng Xi San Ren saw this and said directly without beating around the bush:

“Due to some unspeakable reasons, I knew about the existence of the robbery weapon: the Five-way Evil God Statue in advance. When that silly girl Yu Han came down the mountain, I warned her to stay away from it.

Then something unpleasant happened, and that silly girl was so obsessed with her own evil that she did some stupid things without realizing it."

As he said this, Mengxi Sanren smiled:

"That's off topic. I actually knew about the water ghost, the five ghost bags, and the robbery weapon statue at Xiaomoqiao Wharf the moment they appeared in Yudai River.

Their origins are also related to each other.

Some time ago, the Celestial Empire cut down mountains and destroyed temples in various parts of the Nine Provinces, eradicated obscene sacrifices, and cleared up evil spirits, with remarkable results.

All the big tigers were killed, and only a few insignificant small flies escaped.

One of the little flies escaped to the other eighteen states, but accidentally lost its trail and was hunted down again.

While trying to escape, he injured a disciple of the Five Ghosts Sect, snatched a Five Ghosts Bag, and fled to Cangyun Prefecture.

The Five Ghosts Sect naturally couldn't let this fly go, so they chased it all the way and successfully killed it. However, the Five Ghosts Bag fell into the Cangyun River and disappeared.

Well...Yudai River is a branch of Cangyun River, I think you know that.

So the Five Ghost Bag drifted all the way down and entered the Yudai River.

A fisherman fished up the Five Ghosts Bag while fishing, as well as a statue of a robbery weapon that was attracted by the aura of the Five Ghosts Bag.

How can ordinary people withstand the calamity energy emitted by a calamity weapon?
The fisherman fell into the river and died on the spot.

The corpse, the statue of the robbery weapon and the bag of five ghosts continued to float downwards and arrived at the Xiaomo Bridge Wharf.

The statue of the robbery weapon was obtained by Li Zeyuan, the manager of Xiaomoqiao Wharf of the Shahe Gang.

The fishermen's bodies turned into water ghosts.

The Five Ghosts Bag has been taken by you, Daoist Fellow Tao, and..."

Having said this, Mengxi Sanren paused for a moment, considered his words, and continued:
"As far as I know, Fellow Daoist Tao not only opened the Five Ghosts Bag, but also found the method to open the Five Ghosts Sect's secret Five Ghosts Moving Technique, and practiced it. What I want to say is that the Five Ghosts Sect has never given up on the pursuit of this Five Ghosts Bag."

Pointing at the azure storage bag/Five Ghosts Bag hanging from Tao Tie's waist, Meng Xi San Ren said solemnly: "Let me remind you, Daoist Brother Tao, although you have treated this Five Ghosts Bag, the Five Ghost Sect cultivators will definitely recognize it if they see it."

deal with?

Tao Tie was stunned for a moment, then realized that the "dealing" that Meng Xisan mentioned meant that he refined the Kongming fragments into the storage bag/Five Ghosts Bag to expand the volume.

It's just that Mengxi Sanren seemed to mistakenly think that Tao Tie was using this as a disguise.

This is not important.

Tao Tie asked in a deep voice: "Ren Sanren, are you telling me this to tell me that I have made enemies with the Five Ghosts Sect without knowing it?"

The Five Ghosts Sect is a sect in Wuling Prefecture, Cangyun Prefecture, and its status is similar to that of Jingling Mountain in Siming Prefecture.

"of course not."

Meng Xi San Ren smiled and said, "What I mean is, it's better to have less trouble than more.

If Fellow Daoist Tao is willing, we at Jingling Mountain can step in to sort things out and help Fellow Daoist Tao avoid this trouble.

After all, according to the rules of the three southwestern states, everything picked up from the mountains, rivers and lakes belongs to the person who picked it up.

Daoist Tao picked up the Five Ghosts Bag. This is Daoist Tao's personal opportunity. No matter how resentful the Five Ghosts Sect is, they have nothing to say."

After going around in circles, it turns out that Mengxi Sanren really came to show goodwill.

Tao Tie asked calmly: "What do I have to pay?"

"Nothing is necessary." Mengxi Sanren gave an immediate answer.

Tao Tie shook his head: "Free things are the most expensive."

This is a determination that has been weighed down.

This means that even if he agreed to let Jinglingshan come forward, it would be a transaction, not a favor.

Mengxi Sanren saw this and did not force it. He smiled and said, "If Daoist Tao insists, please help Yu Han, that silly girl. She is not a bad person, but she grew up in the mountains and does not understand the ways of the world. She always means well but ends up doing bad things."

Tao Tie did not rush to give an answer, but pondered for a while.

He was reviewing Mo Yuhan's performance during this period.

To be honest, his feelings towards Mo Yuhan were quite complicated, but they did not rise to the level of disgust and hatred.

Just treat him as a colleague with whom you have little intersection and no need to have any intersection.

Apart from the relationship as colleagues, it is best for us to be strangers and not interfere with each other.

Obviously, what Mo Yuhan did not notice, her master Meng Xi Sanren saw.

This show of goodwill is to fill in the gaps for Mo Yuhan and pave the way for her.

After all, great disasters also bring great opportunities.

Judging from the momentum that Tao Tie has shown so far, there is no doubt that he is a man with great opportunities and can seize them.

The last time a trap was set up against the City God of Liuxian County, Mengxi Sanren did in-depth research on the whole process.

She found that Tao Tie didn't know much about the inside story at the beginning, and often did things based on his intuition and judgment.

It just happened that he made a great contribution by accident.

Mo Yuhan also benefited from this and saved a lot of time on research and networking, and was able to obtain an official position of the ninth rank.

When such a person is right next to us, of course we must hold on to him tightly.

Even if nothing can happen between each other, we can still follow the horse's tail and ride the wind!
Father, like son.

Tao Tie still hasn't figured out why Meng Xi San Ren would do this.

Huang Junshi had already understood it, and said, "Tao Tie, I'll make a decision for you on this matter, just agree to it."

"Teacher, I'll listen to you."

Tao Tie immediately looked up and replied respectfully.

Huang Junshi looked at Mengxi Sanren: "Anything else?"

"Thank you, Sword Immortal."

Mengxi Sanren understood, stood up, bowed gracefully, and left the duty room without any delay.

Now that the goal has been achieved and the host has ordered us to leave, why not leave?

After leaving the Immortal God Office of Liuxian County, Mengxi Sanren quickly left the city and came to a small bamboo forest.

Mr. Hu, the aide to Yu Yingying, the sixth daughter of the Yu family, has been waiting here for a long time.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Mengxi Sanren asked calmly.

"Please take me in."

Mr. Hu did not hesitate and bowed immediately, completely bowing.

"I dare not, nor do I want to."

Mengxi Sanren was unmoved and said coldly, "Jingling Mountain has its own way to go. I don't want to get entangled with the Yu family. If you want to leave the Yu family, just find a way from the court. There is no point in looking for me in Jingling Mountain."

Old Hu stood up, a bitter look on his face: "If I can avoid the Yu family and find a way to the court, why should I use the favor left by my ancestors?"

It turned out that one of Mr. Hu's ancestors had once helped Jingling Mountain and passed down a token.

With this order, you can ask Jingling Mountain to help you.

It was for this reason that Mengxi Sanren came to see Mr. Hu even though he was reluctant.

After listening to Mr. Hu's complaints, Mengxi Sanren remained unmoved.

But he didn't mean to refuse bluntly. After all, the reputation of Jingling Mountain must be protected.

I only heard Mengxi Sanren pointed out a way out for Hu Lao: "Now go to Yudai River Water Palace, find Yudai River Water God, and act with him."

After leaving behind these vague words, Mengxi Sanren immediately flew up on a cloud, left the bamboo forest, and returned to Jingling Mountain.

Mr. Hu stood there, thinking for a while, and decided to adopt Mengxi Sanren's suggestion.

He didn't waste any time and went straight to the Yudai River Water Palace.

Liuxian County Government Office.

Tao Tie left the duty room of the chief steward and came to the office building of the third shift inspector.

After a morning of action, I got another benefit that I couldn't put on the table.
Even if the original 106 third-shift inspectors were not completely loyal, they did not have any negative emotions towards Inspector Tao Tie.

Unless this person has impure intentions and is not wholeheartedly interested in developing in the Immortal God Division.

In other words, he is not working for the Celestial Empire, but is being a pawn for certain people or forces.

The new inspector Yu Yingying has been openly isolated by everyone.

After all, the scene where she stopped Tao Tie and was ridiculed by Tao Tie happened in the yamen, so how could it not be seen by others?

This kind of thing, if seen by just one person, would spread quickly and everyone would know about it.

So what if the Yu family is standing behind Yu Yingying?
In the Immortal God Division of Liuxian County, no one would risk offending Tao Tie by getting close to Yu Yingying and showing goodwill at this time.

the reason is simple.

First of all, Tao Tie is very powerful!
Yes, the sword that cut down Yueyuji once again showed everyone a fact, that is, Tao Tie's combat ability cannot be simply measured by the level of cultivation.

Secondly, Tao Tie has a strong background!

The chief of the Immortal God Department and the direct disciple of the third-grade sword immortal, how many people can he afford to offend, let alone in Liuxian County, even in the entire Siming Prefecture?
Yu Yingying is just the sixth daughter of the Yu family's eldest wife.

And Huang Junshi has only two direct disciples!
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing; Jianghu is about human relations.

Considering the current situation, it is only natural that Yu Yingying is isolated.

Tao Tie didn't pay any attention to Yu Yingying. He went straight into his duty room and called Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun to come for a meeting.

Without further ado, Tao Tie got straight to the point: "The investigation of Yudai River has come to an end. Next comes the long-term inspection phase to deepen the investigation results. This task is still mainly undertaken by Class B, with assistance from Class A and Class C. Inspector Mo..."

After a brief pause, Tao Tie continued, "There is one thing I must emphasize to you."

"Inspector Taodu, please speak frankly."

Mo Yuhan responded immediately with a very proper attitude.

Tao Tie emphasized his tone and said, "Your work focus is outside the city and Baxian Mountain. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Mo Yuhan answered decisively, "From today on, the Shahe Gang is the Shahe Gang, and Mo Yuhan is Mo Yuhan. We will clearly distinguish between public and private affairs."

"That's good."

Tao Tie looked at Mo Yuhan for a while, and after confirming that it was not a lie, he waved his hand and said, "It's almost time for the afternoon shift, so go back and prepare."

Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun left immediately.

In the duty room, Tao Tie sat in an armchair, lost in thought.

It's just the Five Ghost Bags and the Five Ghost Sect, a small matter that shouldn't cause any trouble.

Even if there is any storm, Tao Tie is not unable to face it.

Why did the teacher ask him to make a deal with Jingling Mountain?

There must be some deeper meaning in this.

What could it be?
