I'm a demon cultivator

The meeting between Tan Shuchang and the chief master of Qitian Pavilion ended quickly. There was neither an unhappy separation nor a very pleasant conversation. After leaving, Qiu Junlin looked at Tan Shuchang with a strange expression from time to time, as if he was hesitant to speak.

So, Tan Shuchang said very understandingly: "Just say what you want to say."

"Are you actually a Taoist general?" When Qiu Junlin said this, his tone couldn't help but contain a sense of surprise. As the son of the Grand Pavilion Master, no matter how little he cared about the affairs of Qitian Pavilion, he still knew very well what the position of Dao General meant.

Although the third-grade official might not sound very good at first glance, and seems to be neither above nor below, but if you put them in the local level, they will all be at the pinnacle of power without exception.

Border officials are usually at this level.

When Qiu Junlin went to Black Heart Mountain in Yuezhou, he also asked people to collect some information about Tan Shuchang, so he didn't understand. The emperor had killed all the people in his family, so he turned around and asked the emperor to call him to be an official. ?

In fact, it doesn't matter if he is called to be an official. Similar things have happened before. The main purpose is that the emperor wants to show off and let his name of benevolence and virtue remain in the history.

But this is the first time in ancient times that someone as high as a third-grade official has been ranked.

Because at this level, it is possible to start a small or medium-sized rebellion.

"Here, here is the imperial edict, do you want to see it?" Tan Shuchang said this, but as he said this, he took out the imperial edict from his sleeve and threw it towards Qiu Junlin.

When Qiu Jun came to see the imperial edict, he didn't show any respect at all. He took it directly and opened it to read.

After a few breaths, Qiu Junlin had finished reading the imperial edict, and then he couldn't help grinning and said: "I remember that drafting the imperial edict was the prince's business, but if this imperial edict can be issued smoothly, I guess it is also the emperor's intention. , what do you think the father and son in the palace want to do? "

Qiu Junlin couldn't help but say this, mainly because the reason for appointing an official in this imperial edict was too ridiculous. Why couldn't he bear to waste his talents and learn in the countryside, so he was summoned back to the court and appointed as the sword master of Qitian Pavilion...

Judging from the information he had collected about Tan Shuchang, saying it was because this kid killed the black-hearted old man is more reliable than this reason.

"You don't know?" Tan Shuchang was a little surprised.

"What do you know?" Qiu Junlin looked confused, and then he turned to look at his follower: "Is there anything related to this man named Tan recently?"

This follower was the young man who came to Black Heart Mountain with Qiu Junlin. When the young man heard Qiu Junlin's question, he thought for a while and then answered: "I have heard several uncles mention it, Tu Jianshan They found a whetstone for their destined son. I think this whetstone must be General Tan, right?"

"What kind of century-old plan do they have?" Qiu Junlin finally realized.

"Sir, this is a righteous plan, not a century-old plan." The young man who followed quickly corrected him.

"You want me to tell you? Didn't I just think of it?" Qiu Junlin scolded him angrily, and then, having saved some face for himself, he turned to look at Tan Shuchang again, and was shocked to hear what happened. He said in a tone of voice: "Tu Jianshan uses you as a whetstone for their destined son. Isn't this too bullying? Is this a whetstone? I think it's a stepping stone that was easily split in half?"

In the information he collected, it was clearly stated that the man named Tan had only been practicing for three years.

Even though the Son of Destiny must have been found not long ago, given how much Tu Jianshan attaches importance to the Son of Destiny, it may only take him a few months of training in Tu Jian Mountain to gain ten or twenty years of cultivation skills.

Moreover, Tujian Mountain is also a holy land for sword cultivators, which means that the destined son must be a sword cultivator.

If a swordsman with ten or twenty years of skill were to get a top-notch flying sword at the level of a psychic weapon, those "uncles" in his family would only be killed by one sword!

When the Grand Pavilion Master was young, he disguised himself as a chivalrous man and became sworn sworn friends with many like-minded people. Later, the Grand Pavilion Master showed his cultivation and could no longer stay in the world of mortals, so he simply took these sworn brothers with him to cultivate immortality. road.

And these sworn brothers of the Grand Pavilion Master know that their current situation is entirely dependent on this Grand Pavilion Master, so no matter what they do, they will take this Grand Pavilion Master as their main priority.

Therefore, over time, these people have become the confidants of the Grand Pavilion Master.

For these people, Qiu Junlin calls them "uncle".

"What have you done to offend Tu Jianshan and ask you to be the stepping stone for the Son of Destiny?" Qiu Junlin asked curiously.

Because he was currently in a "begging state", Qiu Junlin restrained himself and spoke as tactfully as possible.

"When it comes to this matter, it is my mentor's fault." Tan Shuchang sighed quietly.

"My mentor..." Qiu Junlin subconsciously nodded in agreement, but as soon as the words came out, he realized something was wrong. His eyes widened and he looked at Tan Shuchang without saying a word.

Although he didn't speak, Qiu Junlin's meaning was obvious - how did you have the nerve to say the word "mentor"? And it’s so natural?

"Yes, my mentor." Tan Shuchang said with a natural expression. If you put aside the facts, the black-hearted old man was indeed kind to him.

"You continue..." Qiu Junlin motioned to Tan Shuchang to continue, because he suddenly understood what magic cultivation was.

"My mentor was selected by Tu Jianshan and became an extremely important link in their righteous plan. As a result, after my mentor and I completed the excellent inheritance of the Holy Sect..."

"Wait a minute, the excellent inheritance of the Saint Sect?" Qiu Junlin couldn't help interrupting Tan Shuchang's narration.

Because he really sounded something wrong.

"What's wrong?" Tan Shuchang asked with a natural and slightly surprised look.

Qiu Junlin was confused by Tan Shuchang's calmness, so he frowned and asked: "Excuse me, what is the excellent inheritance of your Saint Sect?"

"Of course it's betraying the teacher and destroying the ancestors! What else is it?"

Qiu Junlin: "..."

If it weren't for the fact that this surnamed Tan was already a Taoist general of the third rank, he would have asked someone to lock this surnamed Tan up in the Chenlong Valley in the forbidden area of ​​the twelve zodiac signs to calm him down!

However, after Tan Shuchang's explanation, Qiu Junlin also completely understood: "Because you killed the black-hearted old man, Tujian Mountain has such an arrangement."

"I think so." Tan Shuchang did not answer directly.

"Then Tujian Mountain's plan will most likely fail." Qiu Junlin laughed at this time, and before Tan Shuchang could speak, he pointed to the three words "Xizhou City" on the imperial edict and said: "Xizhou City is now the territory of the Ning family, and the Ning family is now different from the past. One of them became the son-in-law of the Dong family of Chuzhou Tianjian Mansion, and the other became the disciple of Master Wangyue and became the last disciple of this peerless swordsman."

"You mean, if I go to investigate, I will definitely die?" Tan Shuchang instantly understood the implicit meaning of Qiu Junlin's words.

Qiu Junlin nodded, and then said with a smile: "I don't know who reported this Ning family, they really don't know how to die..."

"I reported it."

Before Qiu Junlin finished speaking, Tan Shuchang satisfied his curiosity.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Qiu Junlin looked at Tan Shuchang with pity: "Tell me, what color of paper money do you like, and what are your requirements for burial objects? This young master can help you bury it with honor because of our acquaintance."

"Wouldn't it be better if I didn't go?" Tan Shuchang looked puzzled.

Does he have to go?

"Not going?" Qiu Junlin was stunned.

"Yes!"

"Then how will you explain to the emperor?"

"Copy the information you just said and send it to the emperor." Tan Shuchang said calmly.

"..."

Qiu Junlin, who was silent again, finally couldn't help but spray: "Is there an official like you?"

"Aren't all officials like this?"

"..."

Qiu Junlin was silent for the third time, so he turned around and left without even looking at the man surnamed Tan!
