Shortly after.

The main entrance of Gan Mansion.

Under the incense table, Gan Yu and his wife, concubines, children, servants and maids...knelt on the ground.

A cloud of auspiciousness fell in front, and among them was an angel who was slowly reading out the imperial edict:

"In accordance with the instructions of the emperor, he said: Jinshi Gan Yu, loyal to the king's affairs, and enlightenment, is specially given to the eighth-rank Taishang Daoting Beidou Secret, and is appointed as the eighth-rank loyal and brave captain of Heishi County, Panlong Prefecture. I admire this!"

After the angel recited the imperial edict, he said sharply: "Master Gan, accept the edict!"

Gan Yu looked like she was crying or laughing, and felt a little resistant in her heart.

But as a person who has been "entrusted", facing the imperial edict and the angel representing the majesty of the emperor, he can't resist at all, and can only kowtow: "I accept the edict and thank you!"

Even if the court gave him a glass of poisonous wine to kill him, Gan Yu could only do the same.

Along with this kowtow, a Taoist drum suddenly shone brightly and floated down, replacing the original Taoist drum in Gan Yu's body.

Gan Yu stood up with only one thought in his mind: "Who wants to harm me?!"

If it were another county that was promoted from the ninth rank all the way to the eighth rank, and instantly raised one rank to two, then he would have to kneel down and kowtow to the person who promoted him.

Although officials in the officialdom pay attention to one step at a time, they are very contemptuous of the "lucky little people" who fly in helicopters, and there is much resistance.

But he didn't want to be a high-ranking official and be famous in history.

Only those scholars who aspire to be famous and powerful officials will pay special attention to this kind of evaluation, and pay attention to climbing up step by step, having a solid foundation, and forming a wide range of friends.

But Gan Yu is unlikely to reach the fifth rank in this life, so being promoted is a good thing!

Being able to be elected as an official and have a priesthood makes me feel extremely grateful.

As for upgrading levels one after another? That's a great thing... After all, it's difficult to upgrade to a divine level, and each level represents a huge gap in strength.

The gap in strength is the gap in status and treatment!

Considering how difficult it is to get promoted in the Taoist court, Jinshi is nothing at all. Even if there are many people who waste their time and die of old age.

Moreover, their actual positions are much lower than those of casual officials, and there are very few of them with the same rank.

But Heishi County, Panlong Prefecture?

Who doesn’t know that Panlong Mansion is located in Zhuzhou, and rebels have been everywhere in the past twenty years!

As a Jinshi, Gan Yu has the government's intelligence channels, and he also knows that since the rebellion of the mountain gods in Heiyun Mountain twenty years ago, the imperial court has sent high-ranking officials every time to carry out several encirclement and suppression campaigns... all of which were huge defeats!

From a fifth-grade guerrilla general at the beginning, to a third-grade mighty general, and even to the governor and grand master...

How many famous ministers and generals who are famous all over the world have all been tricked by Zhuzhou...

Many Jinshi in the capital also died in that bottomless pit.

If ten years ago, there were still Jinshi who would try their best to become an official, now, many Jinshi do not want to go to Zhuzhou to die even if they cannot become an official in their lifetime!

Why now, this drudgery falls on me again?

Gan Yu wants to cry but has no tears.

But again, with the imperial edict, even if his whole family was to be killed and his entire clan destroyed... The Taoist laws were so majestic and frightening that Gan Yu could only accept the edict respectfully and thank him!

Now that he was promoted to captain, he naturally had to go.

"I would also like to ask the angel to show my favor, and ask my subordinates to prepare a small amount of wine to entertain..."

Gan Yu calmed down and prepared to keep this angel and inquire about it.

But the angel smiled slightly: "We still have official business at home, so we won't stay any longer. Mr. Gan, pay attention, you must take office within one month, otherwise you will be executed if you fail to meet the deadline..."

Gan Yu looked at the angel's leaving figure, and suddenly felt a shiver in his heart: "Official duties... Do I have to go to declare the decree... Is this because the Taoist court's redundant officials are not enough?"

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

How brutal should the battle between states be?

…

State by state.

Mei Changkong controlled a flying sword, a spiritual weapon, and moved back and forth among a group of officers and soldiers.

"Rebels will die!"

A general roared angrily, rose into the air, and thrust his spear fiercely.

But the next moment, a talisman on Mei Changkong burned and turned into an extremely thick rock shield.

The spear pierced the rock and broke immediately.

Mei Changkong controlled the flying sword and pierced the general's heart with the sword. The cold sword energy crazily destroyed his soul.

"Kill...kill the thief..."

The general stared angrily, and finally lost his breath.

"Haha, so happy!"

After Mei Changkong established the foundation, he looked younger. He used the flying sword to kill all the remaining officers and soldiers, and then left with the light of the sword.

He received the favor of the mountain god and gave him a panacea. He finally succeeded in building the foundation ten years ago, and then went to kill the thief Cao.

From then on, he became a rebel in Zhuzhou.

In this world, there is a saying that "the law does not add noble people". Even those Taoist priests who are successful in cultivation can hardly use magic to confuse noble people, let alone rebel.

The reason is that he took a shortcut and surrendered to Taoism through teaching.

Even if the Taoist law is successful, if it is used against high-ranking officials, it will be the following violations, and naturally it will not have any good results...

But Mei Changkong is different. He has not been taught the secrets, and he also practices the Immortal Dao techniques. He is not restricted by the Taoist court, and he is a real rebel.

In recent years, he has killed many officers and soldiers with one sword, which has really frightened the government.

But Mei Changkong only felt happy.

Black Cloud Mountain, Mountain God Mansion.

Mei Changkong pressed down the escape light and saw Bai Tongzi coming out: "The mountain god has summoned me!"

He looked solemn and said, "I'll go right away."

Mei Changkong walked into the mountain and saw a magnificent hall. Compared with the simplicity of twenty years ago, it was a completely different world.

A young mountain god wearing a green robe was sitting on a throne. He had a majestic appearance and a green cloud above his head, as clear as jade. Mei Changkong was shocked at the sight of him.

"Meet the mountain god."

When he saw Fang Xi, he immediately bowed.

"You have blood and resentment in you...are you going to kill those officers and soldiers again?" Fang Xi opened her eyes and said calmly.

"Those imperial officers and soldiers who dare to come to Zhuzhou do not take the mountain god in their eyes and should be killed..." Mei Changkong replied firmly.

Fang Xi couldn't help but remain silent.

After a moment, he said: "There are too many killings and too much evil, which is not good for you."

Mei Changkong, who was kneeling, straightened his back: "Master Mountain God, only Shintoism pays attention to merits and virtues. What I cultivate is the Immortal Dao... Immortal Daoists are unrestrained. You have thousands of living beings and God will not reward you. You have killed tens of millions of people.

There will be no punishment..."

‘…’

Fang Xi couldn't help but feel silent that Mei Changkong seemed to be growing crookedly.

But it doesn't matter, he was originally a guinea pig for the immortal method.

'I didn't expect that he turned out to be a sword cultivator...'

'However... although the path of immortality is unrestrained, people cannot live in a vacuum. Immortal cultivators live in this world and take inspiration from heaven and earth to practice. Naturally, they will also be affected by heaven and earth... The laws of luck and cause and effect in this world are very strict.

of.'

'If you kill too much, I'm afraid there will be retribution...'

Above Fang Xi's head, a Qi Luck Gu was swimming leisurely in the blue clouds.

Under his gaze, three feet of light above Mei Changkong's head was like a long sword, emitting a ray of light that was dazzling.

This is the Qi number of his sword cultivation and foundation building cultivation.

And above the three feet of light, there is a blood-red cloud, almost forming a situation like a dark cloud covering the sky.

The reason why he didn't fall completely was firstly because Mei Changkong resisted with his own cultivation, and secondly because he was the mountain god's favor.

I saw only a trace of green thread, like a fishing line. Although it was weak, it 'fished' the layer of blood-red evil spirit, preventing it from falling.

This is Fang Xi's favor.

If he was too lazy to pay attention to it and this ray of green luck broke, then it would be difficult for Mei Changkong alone to survive the backlash of this causal luck...

"That's all, go down."

For this person, he just gave some advice, waved his hand for Mei Changkong to step back, remained silent for a moment, and then rolled his sleeves.
To be continued...
