Daxianguan

Chapter 637
Liu Peishan was right in guessing that Jingzhou seemed to be calm, but in fact it was already turbulent.

The reason is very simple. Just a few days ago, Grand Master Lu Yan suddenly decided to retreat and break through.As the first Daoist in the Holy Dynasty, Grand Master Lu Yan's cultivation is undoubtedly a Daoyuan real person, and he has reached the peak state.

So the next step is the realm of the Promise Golden Immortal.

This time Grand Master Lu Yan wanted to break through to this realm, of course he had to prepare, and to break through, he had to concentrate on his practice and break through without distractions.

Naturally, he had to give up the position of Grand Master according to the usual practice. After all, in this realm, it would take decades to retreat casually, even hundreds of years, and he couldn't always occupy the position.

Therefore, when Lu Yan left the Holy Dynasty, someone had to replace him as the Grand Master.Looking at the current Holy Dynasty, there are only a handful of immortal officials who are most likely to succeed the Grand Master, or in other words, it is possible to count them on one hand.

Among them, apart from Da Situ and Da Sima, there are four Youcheng Taishi Yang Zhenqing and Zhongshuling Xiao Yu.

In terms of cultivation, Da Situ is only in the realm of Taoist Immortal. Although his qualifications are sufficient, his cultivation is not as good. The other three are all in the realm of Feiyu Immortal.

Here, Da Sima is actually a figure of the same period as Grand Master Lu Yan. If he wants to take over the position of Grand Master Lu Yan, then no one will object, just like Da Situ. These two have too high qualifications, but the two of them It seems that he has little interest in succeeding Lu Yan as Grand Master.

At that time, it is likely to withdraw from the competition and give up the opportunity.

In this way, only Yang Zhenqing and Xiao Yu are really qualified to compete for the position of Grand Master Lu Yan.Naturally, these two have been 'fighting each other' some time ago, building momentum, competing for influence, and fighting for the right to speak.

Chu Xian's transfer from Jizhou to Jingzhou is also in consideration of this matter. Although it is still some days before Grand Master Lu Yan resigns from his post and retreats, and even this process will last for several years, this kind of thing can only be prepared and arranged in advance However, some important positions in Jingzhou must now be controlled by subordinates and cronies that both parties can trust.

Not only Xiao Yu Zhongshu's side is like this, but Yang Zhenqing's side is also the same.

Chu Xian was transferred to Jingzhou this time to take over Cui Huanzhi's position as the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Cui Huanzhi was going to be promoted, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would be promoted from the third rank to serve as the right servant of the Ministry of Households.

This is a huge improvement. Of course, with Cui Huanzhi's current situation, the position of servant is already the limit he can achieve. Unless Cui Huanzhi can be promoted to Daoxian later, there will be no possibility of promotion.

But Cui Huanzhi's promotion to Daoxian actually started preparations a long time ago. Cui Huanzhi also went to Tianyuan Academy for further study, and he has already mastered the means and methods of being promoted to Daoxian. What is lacking is accumulation.

Once Cui Huanzhi is promoted to Taoist Immortal, then the future path will be opened. The most important thing is that if that happens, Cui Huanzhi will become the best candidate to succeed Xiao Yu.

Chu Xian is naturally not bad, but relatively speaking, Chu Xian's days in the officialdom are still a bit short, and the best students in the same group as him are currently only around the fifth rank, and most of them are only the sixth rank , seventh rank or even eighth rank, Chu Xian is already at the fourth rank, this speed is too fast.

Even if Chu Xian has this ability, he will still be criticized and targeted.

So Chu Xian's transfer this time, the official rank has not changed, and even in terms of power, he is weaker than the governor of Jizhou. A huge springboard is the accumulation of qualifications.

Only in this way can the promotion in the future be justified. I don’t know how many governors of the state envy Chu Xian, and some people say that if Cui Huanzhi cannot be promoted to Daoxian within two years, then it is possible that Chu Xian will succeed Xiao Yu in the future. .

This is not impossible. Before doing it, this kind of thing was really impossible, even if Chu Xian's achievements were high, but since Chu Xian was promoted to Daoxian, the situation is different.

The official position of Zhongshuling is [-]% to be admitted to the Shoufu Pavilion. To enter the Shoufu Pavilion, one must be a Daoist. Only Daoxian can take his place, so Cui Huanzhi and Chu Xian both have this chance.

These things, Xiao Yu directly called Cui Huanzhi and Chu Xian to his side and confessed them personally, which is already a certainty, but for Chu Xian, he knew that Xiao Yu's script had the intention of testing himself and Cui Huanzhi. The matter was notified in advance, and he was still a "competitor" in name, so what he and Cui Huanzhi would do next was the key point.

Fortunately, the relationship between Chu Xian and Cui Huanzhi is strong. Cui Huanzhi tried his best to help Chu Xian gain political capital, and Chu Xian also tried his best to tell Cui Huanzhi his experience of being promoted to Taoist Immortal, especially the cultivation of Yangshen Forging Gold. Chu Xian has already far surpassed Cui Huanzhi as the creator of this technique. Cui Huanzhi wants to be promoted to Daoxian, and it is obviously impossible to avoid raising the realm of this technique.

In short, both Chu Xian and Cui Huanzhi want to take the position, but they will not tear each other down or even become hostile because of this matter. It can only be said that each depends on the opportunity and ability.

On the third day of Chu Xian's wedding, Cui Huanzhi went to the Ministry of Household Affairs, while Chu Xian took office in the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Officials belongs to one of the six ministries. Chu Xian is not the highest official among the ministers. He also has a minister and a minister on his head, but the power in his hands is not small. Of course, strictly speaking, Chu Xian feels that affairs are more important than him. Things in Jizhou are a little easier. After all, in Jizhou, he is the governor and the highest-ranking official. He has to make decisions on big and small matters. Busy, Chu Xian can spend time with his mother and Zi Wan at home besides his normal daily practice and handling of official duties, which makes him relatively free.

However, this kind of leisure did not last for two months, and was disrupted by an unexpected event.

On an ordinary night, the originally dark night sky was lit up by a dazzling white light. At that moment, the entire Jingzhou city was like daytime, like a sky fire descending. Almost at the same time, streamers of light flew up from all parts of Jingzhou.

That is Dao Xian Fei Kong.

Obviously, the land of Jingzhou is an important place of the holy pilgrimage, and there are Taoist immortals protecting and guarding it at all times, but obviously, the huge sky fire is too huge, and the power of falling is unmatched, even if it is blocked by Taoist immortals. The fire was crushed, but the fragments still fell down. The largest one directly hit a huge wooden tower in Jingzhou. In an instant, the wooden tower collapsed, and the flames reflected the sky.

It can be vaguely seen that there are two words of Wensheng on the wooden pagoda, but it was quickly annihilated in the terrifying sky fire.

……

At the court meeting, officials from all parties were discussing the coming of the sky fire this time.

"This is the sky fire star. According to historical records, it appeared once 700 years ago, but it was not in Jingzhou, but in another state. The sky fire came and directly destroyed a city and took 10,000+ lives. Up to now, that place is a deep pit, which is extremely terrifying."

"I heard that the fire sparks falling in Jingzhou this time are even bigger."

"How big is it? Jingzhou is different from other places. The Daoxian in Jingzhou is like a cloud. Last night, Daoxian shot to intercept, and then chopped the fire star that day, but there were still pieces falling, and Wenshengyuan was given..."

"I won't talk about this matter, so as not to make too many mistakes, my lords, let's wait for the Shoufu Pavilion's official to announce the specific situation, but no matter what, this is a rare disaster."

The court meeting has not yet started, but what many officials are discussing is the coming of the fire and stars at night.

Chu Xian was standing with Cui Huanzhi and Kong Qian at the moment, and he was also talking about this matter.

"There are no officials from the Wensheng Academy. I'm afraid something really happened." Kong Qian looked solemn, with a trace of worry in his tone, and Cui Huanzhi next to him also said: "The sky fire star only appears once every 500 years. In the history of the Holy Dynasty, There are more than a dozen records, each of which is a catastrophe, and each of which is a loss of life, this time the fire star fell in Jingzhou, so the damage caused is not great, if it falls in other places, it will be different."

Chu Xian knew what Cui Huanzhi meant.

There is a Taoist immortal in Jingzhou. When the sky fire fell last night, Chu Xian was also alarmed, but he did not fly up. At that time, more than a dozen immortals flew out, and they were strictly guarded by the immortal army. Among the immortals who flew up at that time, there were some The existence of Fei Yuxian level.

If not, the entire Jingzhou would be destroyed if the fire star really fell that day.

In the current situation, we only know that Tianhuo Xingxing was crushed by the Daoist who guarded Jingzhou, and most of them were collected. Only a small amount fell, causing considerable harm. The Wenshengyuan was destroyed, and there is no definite news until now.

Chu Xian has feelings for Wenshengyuan. In the beginning, it was these Wensheng who supported him, and this is how he is today.

At this moment, Tao Tao's immortal energy fell, and many officials immediately stopped their voices and stood up straight. Soon, several immortal officials from the Shoufu Pavilion appeared, but all of them looked dignified, telling others clearly that something serious happened.

Soon, Chu Xian and many officials knew that the sky fire star fell last night, and its volume, more than thirty feet, was a relatively large sky fire star in history.

As everyone knows, the fire star was blocked and shattered by Daoxian that day, saving the lives of Jingzhou from being burned, but the scattered fragments also caused a lot of damage. There are dozens of damaged houses everywhere. In addition, the biggest damage came from Wensheng Academy.

"A large celestial fire star fragment destroyed the Wenshengyuan. Liao Wensheng, who was the writer of the Wenshengyuan, fell, Li Wensheng and Yao Wensheng fell, and the rest of the Wensheng were seriously injured. It has taken decades and is almost ready to be compiled. The handed down work" The Immortal Code was also destroyed, and the loss was heavy."

On the high platform, Xiao Yu Zhongshu said solemnly.
