Daojun: Start with the top-grade golden elixir

Chapter 145 Ascending to the Third Palace and Entering the Jade Cauldron
In the depths of the clouds, there is a piece of palaces in the sky. Counting carefully, there are three upper halls, more than ten lower halls, and side halls.

These three upper halls are called Shangzhen, Shangfa, and Shangshi, which are the "three halls" that Taisumen often say are the prime minister's sect's major events.

Breaking it down, it can be said that the Hall of Shangshi is a matter of the Prime Minister's sect, the Hall of Shangfa is a property of the sect of the Prime Minister, and the Hall of Supreme Truth, needless to say, represents the will of the real person. It is said that it is the will of the real master.

But having said that, the three halls are not independent of each other.

For example, the Taisu Authentic Zongmen Dabi, which is held every ten years, is supposed to be managed by the Shangshi Palace, but the manpower and material resources needed to hold the Dabi, and the magic tools and objects allocated by the Zongmen to the Dabi, naturally You can't go around the Shangfa Hall, so when the Shangzhen Hall can't make an order, the affairs of the sect will be discussed and dealt with by the Shangfa Hall and the Shangshi Hall.

As for the rest of the side halls, they are all lower halls of the two halls of Shangfa and Shangshi, each with its own capabilities, such as the Shangong Hall, Tiangong Hall, Danxia Courtyard, and Shuwu Hall in the Taisu Gate are all under its jurisdiction.

On this day, there was a golden bridge stretching from beyond the heavy clouds. On the head of the bridge, there stood a heroic Taoist man with a sword hairpin, plain white robes, and a crane cloak. There was no wind blowing his sleeves, but Show elegant fairy posture.

Apart from Xu Zhuang, there is no one else.

Xu Zhuang's trip was just to rush to the third hall to take up his post, he had delayed this matter for a long time, and it was really not appropriate to postpone it any longer.

So at dawn today, he was not in a hurry to take care of other affairs, but took up the jade card given to him by Daochen Daochen to take up the post in the third hall, and a golden bridge was erected to bring him here.

After escaping through the heavy clouds, Xu Zhuang felt refreshed as soon as he entered the room. Although the cleverness in the sky does not appear here, it is as solid as a real spirit. Obviously, the three halls are not only the center of the sect, but also a Waiting for a treasure land of practice.

Before Xu Zhuang could think about it for a long time, the golden bridge had already arrived in front of a large hall, and when Xu Zhuang landed on it, he dispersed naturally.

There was already a boy waiting in front of the hall, seeing Xu Zhuang coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, and said: "Uncle Xu, boy has been waiting here for a long time, please follow me into the hall."

Xu Zhuang was not surprised either. He activated the jade card to welcome Jinqiao. It is impossible for him not to be known to the third hall, and it is reasonable to be prepared to welcome him.

Xu Zhuang didn't change his face, and stepped into the Hall of Shangshi, there were already many people in the hall, but the first seat in the hall was empty, only an old man with white hair was standing next to the first seat with his whisk in his arms, and beside him was another The little boy is holding a jade plate with a roll of gold silk and a seal on it.

The rest of the people were seated on different seats in the left and right rows according to their seats. Their faces were old and young, but they looked impressive in appearance. Among them were a few familiar faces, Zhang Tingxian, Feng Yuanliu, etc. , Han Wang, and Nangong Yang are all among them.

There are vacant seats between the two rows of sitters, and I don't know if they haven't come or no one has taken the seat yet.

As soon as Xu Zhuang entered the hall, Tong'er immediately sang: "The Venerable Daomiao has arrived."

All of a sudden, the eyes from both sides looked down, Xu Zhuang stepped into the hall calmly, bowed in all directions, and immediately some people nodded or returned the salute, and some looked indifferently, not seeing him. respond.

Xu Zhuang walked to the middle of the hall, only to see the old Taoist with white hair next to the head seat preaching: "The way is wonderful."

Xu Zhuang heard the Xuan ceremony, and the old man with white hair nodded his head slightly, took the gold silk from the jade plate held by the Taoist boy, and unfolded it, and read: "Respect the decree of the Supreme Zhendian, and teach the disciples Dao Miao to serve as the elders of the Supreme Shidian, and He also serves as the master of the Jade Cauldron Palace."

The elders of the Shangshi Hall are not classified as high or low, but they have different responsibilities. They are in charge of each of the lower halls. The post of the lord.

Under the jurisdiction of the Yuding Palace, the Taoist Hall and the Lishi Hall are in charge of Taisu's training and dispatch of authentic Dao soldiers and Lishi, not to mention the scheduling of battles. All the halls and courtyards in the gate must have Dao soldiers patrolling, and the Lishi help meritorious deeds. In a sense It can be said that the power is in hand.

Although all the responsibilities of the Shangshi Hall are allocated by the Shangzhen Hall, such a position of real power is naturally indispensable to attract people's attention. Unexpectedly, it has been vacant for such a long time, and it has fallen on Xu Zhuang's head, and it is the main hall owner. All eyes.

Xu Zhuang clearly heard a soft hum from the right rear, Xu Zhuang still did not change his expression, he bowed to the elders in the hall, and replied: "My disciple is very wise, please receive the decree of the True Palace."

The elder in the hall said kindly, and put the decree back on the jade plate, Dao Tong then stepped down from the hall, held the jade plate in front of Xu Zhuang, and said: "Please accept the decree of Shangzhen Hall, the jade tripod Palace seal."

After Xu Zhuang received the decree and seal and put it away, the elders in the hall saw that the handover had been completed, so they stepped down from the hall, raised their hands and said, "Since the decree and seal have been handed over, the old Taoist will not bother you."

Xu Zhuang bowed back and thanked, the elder smiled and nodded, then led Tong'er out of the palace gate, as if returning to Shangzhen Palace.

The Shangzhen Hall is different from the Shangshi Hall, which represents the will of the real person. Although there are elders in the hall, they do not hold real power. The number of the three major monks in the baby is not very large, but now that there are a group of true monks serving in the hall, it seems a bit impressive.

After the elder of the Shangzhen Palace left, a middle-aged Taoist stood up in the front seat, walked up to Xu Zhuang, bowed with one hand and said, "Master of the Jade Cauldron, Wang Chong, I am the heaven." The Palace of Works is in charge."

"It turns out to be the master of Tiangong Palace." Xu Zhuang's heart moved, and he replied, "I don't know what advice I can give."

"You and I are working together in the Hall of Shangshi, so why don't you give me advice." The Master of Tiangong Hall said with a smile: "The Hall of Shangshi has no agenda today, I just came to observe the ceremony, since the handover ceremony is over, there are still affairs in the hall Waiting for treatment, I want to go back first."

"So that's how it is. Hall Master, please go ahead." Xu Zhuang returned a salute, and the Master of Tiangong Palace nodded lightly and left the hall.

After the Tiangong Palace Master left the table, two Palace Masters stepped forward to take a photo with Xu Zhuang, and some of them just nodded to Xu Zhuang as a signal, and then left one after another.

There were not many people watching the ceremony in the hall, and after a while there were only two people left, both familiar faces, one was Han Wang, and the other was Zhang Tingxian who had seen him outside Dongzhen Hall, as for Feng Yuanliu, there was no sound Leave the table.

Seeing that the two were still here, Xu Zhuang also showed a smile on his face. When he walked up to Han Wang, Han Wang said first, "Mr.

Xu Zhuang and Han Wang were old acquaintances, thanked him casually, and asked, "Senior brother Han, you haven't introduced this brother to me yet."

Han Wang just smiled slightly when he heard the words, Zhang Tingxian said first: "Mr. The Lord of the Hall of Merit and Virtue."

Xu Zhuang was surprised when he heard the words, the Hall of Merit has a very wide jurisdiction, and the Hall of Good Merit is under the Hall of Merit, which is also a position of real power. It seems that the disciples of the true biography work in the third hall, and they seem to be in the lower seats, but in fact they hold great power.

Xu Zhuang raised his hand in response and said: "Senior Brother, you are joking. In fact, you have heard about my brother's name and younger brother, but you have not formally made friends with him, so I hope that Senior Brother Han will introduce you."

Zhang Tingxian responded with a smile, and Xu Zhuang asked again: "I don't know if Senior Brother Han holds any job?"

Han Wang seemed to shake his head helplessly, and said, "As a brother, you are also the master of the Hall of Merit and Virtue."

"Hey!" Zhang Tingxian disagreed and said, "It's the deputy palace master."

Xu Zhuang immediately understood, no wonder the two of them acted together, chatted for a few words, Xu Zhuang suddenly moved in his heart, and asked: "Senior Brother Han, do you know who the Master of Zhengfa Palace is?"

The Hall of Zhengfa is the hall that is in charge of the sect's laws and regulations.

Han Wang raised his brows and said, "Is there something for my brother to find the master of Zhengfa Hall? The main master of Zhengfa Hall is an uncle named Changsun Lu, who is not a true disciple, but the deputy master is Fengyuan Liufeng. appoint."

"Feng Yuanliu?" Xu Zhuang said calmly, he also has an impression of this person, he once took a photo outside the Dongzhen Hall just like Zhang Tingxian, and just now he also watched the ceremony in the Hall of Shangshi, but he has never fought with Xu Zhuang He greeted him and left the table.

Xu Zhuang thought for a moment, then asked: "Senior Brother Han, I still have to go to the Jade Cauldron Hall, how about going to sit in the hall with my younger brother?"

"Oh?" Han Wang pondered for a moment, and said with a smile, "That's fine, there's not much business left and right in today's merit hall, and Senior Brother Zhang is enough to handle it."

Zhang Tingxian smiled when he heard the words, and replied: "In that case, I will go back to the Hall of Merit and Virtue." Privately, he compared the number with Han Wang, and said via voice transmission: "Remember to bring good wine tomorrow."

Han Wang didn't bother to answer, so he called Xu Zhuang and left. Xu Zhuang also smiled when he saw this, bowed his hands to Zhang Tingxian and bid farewell, and then walked out of the hall with Han Wang.

Xu Zhuang took the seal and shook it, a golden bridge suddenly rose in front of him, leading to a palace below, it was the Jade Cauldron Hall where Xu Zhuang was the lord.

Xu Zhuang looked at Han and said, "Brother, please."

Han Wang was not polite, he stepped onto the golden bridge, Xu Zhuang just stood on the bridge, and the golden bridge shrank back to the Jade Cauldron Hall, Han Wang suddenly remembered something, and said: "Mr. What is the Lord's attitude?"

"Oh?" Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the background of this deputy palace master? Could it be that he will make things difficult for me?"

Han Wang frowned and said, "I haven't photographed the deputy master of the Jade Cauldron Hall. He is not a true disciple, but seems to be an elder of the Yun family. He has been in office for hundreds of years."

"Originally, after the master of the Jade Cauldron Palace abdicated, he should be the one to assume the post, but the Shangzhen Palace suddenly issued a decree ordering me and other true disciples to be appointed as the third hall. I don’t know if I will feel resentful when I get promoted.”

"So that's the case." Xu Zhuang nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile, "It's okay, even if you have complaints, can you still defy the decree of Shangzhen Palace?"

"It's impossible." Han Wang shook his head and said, "However, if he is against you, with his accumulated influence, he will still give you a headache."

Xu Zhuang just smiled slightly when he heard the words: "If you are so unwise as an elder in the Shangshi Palace, you will really disappoint me."

Instead, Han Wang laughed, and replied, "What the younger brother said is true."
