Tao and Heaven

Chapter 247: Conferring the title of Taiyin Star Lord
Qingqiu Fox Fairy.

Gu Wen remembered that he had killed the other party's descendants, and more than one. However, given the common problem of these immortals, they should not care about what happens to one descendant.

In a sense, immortals are those who have transcended the constraints of blood.

What they really care about is never their fellow countrymen who share the same blood as themselves, but themselves. Whether it is life span or hobbies, they are extreme individualists.

In fact, Gu Wen felt that he was similar. After he became an immortal, the time in his eyes became different. He was no longer a merchant in the Longqiao period, nor was he a mortal who aspired to be the best in the world.

He is just Gu Wen, and everything else seems less important.

Be it the best in the world, natural treasures, or even the elixir of immortality, Gu Wen can now grow them through the heirloom cave.

Gu Wen asked, "Are you Master's friend?"

"We met and accompanied each other before becoming immortals. Later, humans and demons quarreled and severed their friendship." Tushan Miao's beautiful face showed a smile. She did not hide her joy, and in a trance, even the sunlight was dimmed.

"Now we can be considered to have rekindled our relationship, but that guy is still as shy as before."

"Since you are my master's friend, I have to call you Uncle Master."

Gu Wen's words made Tu Shan Miao's eyes light up. This was a huge relationship. He was the uncle of a saint.

Then she quickly came to her senses and shook her head, saying, "I am not worthy of the title of Master Uncle. If you don't mind, I am already flattered by the title of peer."

Qing Cang could be his master because he had been his master from the very beginning, but for someone who showed up in the middle, it would be a bit disrespectful for a saint to call him uncle.

"Then we should address each other as equals. The word 'Saint' doesn't sound good."

Gu Wen nodded in agreement. He was doing this purely out of consideration for his master. It didn't matter if he was called Uncle Master, but it felt a bit awkward to have his master's friend address him with respect.

And only he can bring up such matters, because the weak are not qualified to make demands on the strong, and the strong should follow the boundaries of the weak.

"Then I will take advantage of you."

Tu Shan Miao's smile was as bright as spring, which stunned everyone present. Xie Yunnan had been bewitched.

"Oh, my apologies, I can't control my temper sometimes."

The next moment, the fox fairy's face changed and turned into a strong, dark-faced man.

Although her every move is still extremely charming, at least she no longer looks like a fool.

"Today I am here to deal with the affairs of the Thousand Phoenix Sect. Where is Xuanjin Tianzun?"

The dark-faced man pinched his fingers and took out a document, two-thirds of which was written about "how to get Gu Wen back to Dao Sect, which was not entrusted by Immortal Qingcang."

At the same time, he waved his sleeves, and two people tied up with fox tails appeared.

Yin Xu and She Jingqiu parted ways, their mouths were bound, and they could only look around in horror.

The latter immediately showed joy when he saw Gu Wen and kept looking at him pleadingly.

Lu Chan came out of the pavilion and bowed, saying, "Xuan Jin greets the special envoy."

"Xuanjin Tianzun, you failed to discipline the orphans of Ninghua Sect, and the orphans were harmed by others. Therefore, you are temporarily relieved of your position as Tianzun and handed over to the Jade Emperor Palace for disposal."

"As ordered."

"Aren't you going to argue? According to the rules, you can argue, and according to my trial, you can try to get a lighter sentence."

Tu Shanmiao reminded: "Once we arrive at the Jade Emperor Palace, we must really handle official business impartially."

After all, the main plaintiffs have been arrested, and now the people have not reported it, and the officials have not corrected it. If it were a normal process, Xuanjin Tianzun would contact the various Tianzuns, use his connections, and spend some money to get through it.

The Three Pure Ones Taoist sect advocates integrity every day precisely because there is no integrity, and Qingcang also knows the situation and turns a blind eye.

Lu Chan said calmly: "Just removing the title of Heavenly Venerable is already a very light punishment, Xuan Jin dare not ask for it."

"Well, let's let Jade Purity Heavenly Venerable make a temporary decision now."

Then, under everyone's strange gazes, Tu Shan Miao tore off a page of the document and handed it to Gu Wen. In an instant, even a young cultivator like She Jingqiu understood its meaning.

Gu Wen took a quick look and understood all the causes and consequences. He said, "Is it necessary to be so formal?"

Tushan Miaodao said: "Your master said that if there is no formality, what is the difference between us and eight hundred years ago? Even the Three Pure Ones can only make a certain sentence based on the investigation results for such matters. What matters is the justice of the process."

"Look, this is such a ridiculous rule."

Gu Wen was speechless, he felt that it might be his fault.

At the beginning of Daxia's establishment, he lived with his master for decades, researching Wuling Valley, communications, papermaking, and other things that could greatly improve people's livelihood.

Of course, there is no avoiding the discussion on the system. The master is a pure idealist, and Gu Wen is an ordinary person who discusses the theories of countless great men with him.

The various theories of previous lives are not applicable to the extraordinary society, and the institutional construction is a hundred times stronger than that of the spiritual world.

For a time, Qingcang had the illusion that "this child is similar to me", because even biological children are not so similar in personality.

But now it seems that his master is obviously a man of action. He also has his own karma involved, so Gu Wen had to swallow it.

It took Gu Wen a quarter of an hour to understand Dao Zong's rules and regulations while reviewing the investigation process.

He raised his hand to untie She Jingqiu's restraints and said casually:
"She Jingqiu is not guilty, but fraud is against public order and morality, and should be judged by the local city lord's mansion."

"Yin Xu colluded with the demon clan and sold illegal elixirs, and was sentenced to death."

"Xuanjin Tianzun will temporarily be relieved of his position as Tianzun for fifty years. If there is an emergency, he can be reinstated on the spot."

Everyone was surprised by the verdict. Gu Wen really enforced the law impartially.

"I don't accept it!"

She Jingqiu suddenly spoke up, took two steps forward, knelt down, and said in tears: "I was imprisoned and abused by the Qianfeng Sect for several months, and then fled for a long time. And the culprit was able to get away with it. How can I be worthy of my fellow disciples who are in heaven with such a light punishment?"

Where did this fool come from?
Everyone was shocked, but Tushan Miao was smiling and looked like she was enjoying the show.

Over the years, what has given Qingcang the most headaches is not the demons, but the fools who don't know how to appreciate it. Some people treat fairness as a privilege and don't even consider their own worth.

Gu Wen asked, "Are you questioning my judgment?"

"I dare not." She Jingqiu wiped her tears and said, "But Xuanjin Tianzun is still here. If I am handed over to the City Lord's Mansion, I may never see the light of day again. What's more, I have done nothing wrong. It must be the Qianfeng Sect who slandered me." Lu Chan said, "I guarantee your personal safety and freedom in Huajianzhou."

She Jingqiu ignored him and continued crying, "Please ask Jade Purity Heavenly Venerable to let me be innocent and arrange for me to continue the inheritance somewhere else."

Gu Wen understood that she felt she had done nothing wrong and hoped to gain some benefits by making a fuss.

Legally speaking, she is indeed innocent, but fraud is another matter, and there must be punishment for the crime.

Tu Shan Miao reminded him: "If you kill him, you will have to go back to your master to confess your sins."

Hearing this, She Jingqiu's eyes showed secret joy. She didn't know what the Heavenly Lord was, and even less what a saint was.

"Then he is innocent. I need an innocent person."

Gu Wen put down the document, raised his hand and pointed, and a ray of clear light flew into She Jingqiu's body, knocking out her three souls and seven spirits and turning them into a sky full of stars.

Billions of light particles are floating in the valley, and even the death of one's soul is not as quick as this.

Everyone was just stunned for a moment, and then no one thought there was anything wrong.

Tu Shan Miao felt that her mission was accomplished, and said, "When you return to Dao Sect, go to Qing Cang to receive your punishment first. It doesn't matter when."

As soon as he finished speaking, She Jingqiu's body turned into a whirlpool, absorbing all the fragments of the three souls and seven spirits.

There was a gradual spirituality in his eyes, and he looked a little confused, like a toddler.

Gu Wen said: "She Jingqiu, from now on you will continue to stay in Qianfeng Sect and turn over a new leaf."

Even the three souls and seven spirits have been reorganized, how can I not be reborn as a human being?
She Jingqiu tilted her head slightly, her face full of confusion.

There was a deathly silence all around.

Be it the two immortals Xuan Yue and Tu Shan Miao, or the celestial beings Chi Yu Zi and Lu Chan, or even Xie Yunnan, they all realized how incredible the scene just now was.

There are countless ways to make a person's soul fly away, but it is unheard of that one can be divided into thousands and then return to one.

Is the person who is torn apart and then put together again still the original person?

After several inquiries, Tushan Miao did not find any problems, and an indescribable awe and fear arose spontaneously.

The relationship with Qingcang could no longer allow her to remain calm in front of Gu Wen, who was a genuine "Holy Lord" like Jianmu.

"Gu Wen, what did you do?"

Akabane seemed unable to read the atmosphere. She was the calmest and the only one who showed no awe.

Gu Wen replied: "I have helped her to become a new person, and there is hope for her to become a true lord in the future."

"Then you are a really kind person." Akabane praised, "I am different. I have killed many such fools and was often put in solitary confinement for this."

The two exchanged a few words, breaking the weird atmosphere.

Akabane's existence is like a mask of Gu Wen, which always makes people subconsciously ignore the majesty of the saint.

The matter was resolved, and Tushan Miao had no reason to ask Gu Wen to return to Dao Sect immediately. She put the Yin Xu into her sleeve and bowed to say goodbye.

Gu Wen stayed for half a day and was about to leave, but Lu Chan tried to persuade him to stay.

"Brother Dao, are you in a hurry to leave? Otherwise, why don't you stay in my Qianfeng Sect for a few days?"

"I have to go back to Dao Zong first."

"This is a pity. I wanted to invite you to watch the singing and dancing and the food and wine of our Qianfeng Sect. I dare not say that we are the best in the world, but we are the best among the human race."

Hearing that there would be delicious food, drinks and fun things to do, Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi looked at each other and realized that great minds think alike.

Although Gu Wen has lived for 800 years, he has spent most of his time practicing. He is not tired of many new things and is still keen on the desire for food. The same is true for Akabane. She lost her five senses in the first 800 years, so now she must be eating, drinking and having fun.

Akabane cleared his throat twice and said, "Gu Wen, when old friends meet again, we should always spend more time together to catch up and keep in touch. How about you stay for two more days?"

"So good."

Gu Wen rubbed Chiyuzi's head with satisfaction. In this respect, this boy was very much to my liking.

Chi Tianzun hates being patted on the head the most, and he made a threatening gesture to hit Gu Wen.

The next day, the disciples of Qianfeng Sect returned to the mountain gate, and Gu Wen and Chiyuzi had more fun activities to do.

The disciples of Qianfeng Sect are equivalent to the most experienced restaurant operators in the world. There are masters of cooking and masters of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. There are also various exquisite little toys.
Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi spent ten absurd days together, and left Qianfeng Sect reluctantly. They decided to only go to Qianfeng Tower when visiting brothels in the future.

On the day of their departure, Xuanjin Tianzun performed a dance for them in the deep valley.

The bright moon is like a lamp, its shadow and shadow form a pair, the celestial being dances as peach blossoms bloom.

Gu Wen drank the spirit wine in big gulps. The wine in the cultivation world was more like a beverage. The strength was not mainstream, but it was more of a variety of sweetness and fragrance, which suited his appetite.

It tastes sweet, and even though it's not refined by magic power, all kinds of wonderful flavors still explode on the tip of your tongue.

Chi Yuzi was drunk after drinking ten jars of wine. She had a bad drinking habit. Once she got drunk, she hugged Gu Wen and said, "Brother Daoist, hehehe, Brother Hongchen, how can that little witch compare to me? She is half a foot shorter than me."

Her voice suddenly rose, full of alcohol, and she said, "I am the only one who should call you Brother Dao!"

In the middle of the night, Gu Wen was a little tipsy, and his spiritual thoughts began to spread endlessly. The great way of heaven and earth came into his mind, and the nine-foot-tall [Golden Elixir] was the ultimate.

Above the sky, the bright moon cast a ray of strange light onto Gu Wen's head.

A hint of Taoism emerges, like the will of heaven.

[Gu Wen, conferred the title of Nine-Star Taiyin Star Lord, commanding the female immortal officials]

Gu Wen, who was a little drunk, became furious when he heard this rhyme. He waved his hand to grab the moonlight of heaven and earth and threw it into the wine pot.

"Who is teasing Daoye?"

Suddenly, the sky and the earth darkened, and the bright moon dimmed.

Gu Wen drank all the moonlight in the wine jug in one gulp and crushed the Dao fruit into pieces. His burps were all filled with moonlight.
