If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 988 Running away
In the next few days, Meng Qi took Xiao Yu to familiarize himself with the work of each department in the Earth Emperor Palace and the Human Emperor Palace.

Get a complete understanding of the operation of the three departments and nine bureaus of the Imperial Observatory, as well as the background of each department.

Even the method of opening the secret library was taught to her on the spot.

However, to open the secret vault, one must use the Grand Master's Seal.

For example, in the treasure map room, if an ordinary Heavenly Master encounters difficulties while observing the map of Chinese mountains and rivers, he needs to observe the true shape map to determine the direction of the water or earth veins. He needs to report to the Grand Master, who will open the door.

Not to mention the work of each department, just the foundation of the Qin Dynasty that Xiaoyu saw was enough to keep him in shock and ecstasy.

In the end, people became a little numb.

There were too many of them. She felt like a hungry mouse that fell into a granary.

She now only regrets one thing: not coming to Xianyang earlier.

She has gained a lot from her adventures in Shenzhou in the past year, but every gain has come at the cost of her life.

As the Heavenly Master in the Imperial Observatory, all kinds of benefits were brought directly to her and fed to her.

She couldn't finish her meal and had indigestion.

After basically grasping the situation of the three departments and nine offices of the Imperial Observatory, Meng Qi did not give her half an hour to rest and immediately took her back to the Emperor's Palace.

He also called all the heavenly masters of the three departments and nine divisions to the "Sunny and Rainy Division."

"My fellow Taoists, you should have already met this Master Yu Tian."

On that day, Xiaoyu joined the Imperial Observatory, and more than thirty celestial masters cooperated in presiding over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky.

They must all know Master Yu Tian.

At this time, nearly two hundred people came from the Qingyu Division.

There are a total of sixty-five Heavenly Masters still remaining in Xianyang.

The rest are Taoists who have not yet obtained the status of "Heavenly Master".

Only after graduating from Tianshidao University can one be considered a qualified "Tianshi".

This group of Taoists are still "students" and are interning at the Imperial Observatory.

If they were asked to preside over a Tianshi ceremony alone, they would probably be overwhelmed and find it difficult to complete.

It's more than enough to help the Heavenly Master.

For example, Meng Qi’s Taoist boy He Lin is one of the “students”.

Today, Meng Qi also called these "current students" over.

Basically, all those who can work in the Imperial Observatory gathered in the main hall of the Department of Weather and Rain.

The protagonist of this gathering was Master Yu Tian, ​​who accepted the throne from Meng Qi.

"Master Yu officially entered the Department of Weather and Rain in the Emperor's Palace today." Meng Qi pointed at Master Yu and said in a deep voice, "Master Yu has mastered the Taoist method of the Interactive Kyushu Landscape Map. He can infer the activity of the earth veins and predict floods and droughts in the counties of Shenzhou."

"So fast?" Master Guan asked in surprise.

Master Huihe frowned and said, "Master Meng, we all understand your thoughts.

But are you too eager? No one doubts Master Yu Tian's talent.

It's only been a few days since the True Lord's intention, and it seems that he wants to hand over the Rain and Sun Bureau to Master Yu Tianshi?"

He first took charge of the Department of Weather and Rain, and then became the head of the Emperor's Palace.

In this way, it would be natural for him to succeed Meng Zhenjun and become the new Grand Master of the Qin Dynasty.

Meng Qi's thoughts could not be hidden from the Heavenly Master in the Imperial Observatory.

Especially today, Master Yu Tian joined the office, and he actually called all the people from the Imperial Observatory over.

Obviously standing up for her and helping her establish her prestige.

Meng Qi laughed and said, "If Master Yu Tian was not capable enough, why would I call you all here? To see her make a fool of herself?"

He turned to Xiao Yu and said, "Master Yu, let's have a test in public.

Any of the Heavenly Masters can set the questions, and the questions will be related to the wind, rain, ice, frost, and thunder in the Nine Provinces.

Where and when does rainfall occur, and how much rainfall is expected?

Where there may be widespread frost, take precautions in advance.
As long as it is a question about the Weather Department, they can raise it, and you will answer their questions. "

Meng Qi glanced at the astonished and doubtful Heavenly Masters and said loudly: "All Daoists present, regardless of their status, can come out and test Heavenly Master Yu's Heavenly Master Dao.

Of course, now that Master Yu Tian has taken up his post at the Department of Weather and Rain, the scope of his assessment is also limited to this Kyushu landscape painting."

"I'll go first." Master Guan took a step forward, walked to the side of the Kyushu Landscape Painting, and practiced the Heavenly Master Method. While sensing, he quickly calculated with his hands.

About five minutes later, he pointed to the north on the map and said, "Master Yu, what is the weather like in Yanmen Pass right now?"

Xiao Yu only took a look at the landscape painting and immediately said, "It's snowing again. Heavy snowfall."

Master Guan nodded slightly and asked, "How heavy is the snowfall? What is the severity of the cold disaster?"

This time, Xiao Yu sensed it for a moment longer and said, "The snowfall is already one foot and three and a half inches. It will rise another two inches after this snowfall. Cold disaster level. Wait a moment."

She took out the golden book and jade volume that Meng Qi had given her from her sleeve.

After taking out the booklet, he looked for the definition of "cold disaster level" in front of everyone.

Meng Qi was a little embarrassed, but tried to maintain a serious expression.

He didn't blame Master Yu. After all, she had been following him to familiarize herself with the Three Departments and Nine Departments in the past few days and had no time to study the "Zhengyi Falu" passed down by the former king of the Ying family.

"Oh, isn't it too crude? Why is the cold disaster level still 'universe is vast and desolate, heaven and earth are dark and yellow'?"

Xiaoyu found the content of "Cold Disaster Level" but was very dissatisfied.

Guan Zhenren said calmly: "The level of cold disaster was set 130,000 years ago by the Heavenly Masters after consultation in Shangqing Palace and Tianshi Hall. It was approved by Daozu and was considered to be very consistent with the situation in Pangu World."

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I will tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a pony in Xiniuhezhou who wanted to cross a river. A squirrel jumped down from a tree, stopped the pony, and warned the pony that the river was very deep and could drown people.

At this time, another one-horned rhino came over and looked down on the river, saying that it was just a small ditch and there was nothing to worry about.

The pony hesitated.

Yang Li Dao Tong muttered, "How can the horse demon be afraid of a river? And the squirrel demon is making such a fuss, it's totally inexplicable."

Xiao Yu said with a wooden face: "Daoist friend Yang Li, I am telling you a fable, using objects to describe people.

The pony finally crossed the river. Crossing the river was neither as scary as the squirrel said, nor as easy as the rhino said.

With his eyes on the Pangu world, Daozu can set up a 'cosmic-level cold disaster' to freeze the heavens into ice.

But our Heavenly Master is short-sighted and only pays attention to the human world.

The lowest level of cold disaster, yellow, will freeze thousands of miles away, making it difficult for humans and animals to escape.

What is the meaning of this level setting for weak mortals?"

Guan Zhenren said: "Master Yu, take a close look at the jade book in your hand. The yellow level can also be divided into nine grades, and each grade can be divided into upper, middle and lower grades.

Although yellow level cold weather can freeze thousands of miles and kill people, there have been cold disasters above yellow level in the world.

When encountering a disaster like that, won't the level be marked?"

Xiao Yu said: "What I mean is that the weather warnings for the people should be in line with their lives.

Even if extreme weather occurs and the cold disaster reaches the earth level or the sky level, can the common people still live to see it? "Master Guan said: "For a cold disaster that does not freeze the common people to death, there is no need to notify the local officials.

A cold disaster warning will only be issued if people freeze to death on a large scale.

Therefore, setting the universe to be wild and the heaven and earth to be eight levels is very reasonable."

Meng Qi said: "It is a good thing that Fairy Yu is not lazy about the current situation and has the intention to reform the bad policies.

Once the fairy enters the Emperor's Palace, she can slowly study the new disaster level standards.

When the next Heavenly Master Conference is held in Shangqing Palace, the fairy can submit her own standards for discussion among the Heavenly Masters.

Now, I am only testing Fairy Yu’s Heavenly Master skills of communicating with nature.”

Xiao Yu groaned and said, "The weather at Yanmen Pass is not normal.

It should be another Hu immortal master who is performing a ritual to summon the cold wind from the north.

If the Hu people had not caused trouble, there would have been no cold disaster at Yanmen Pass.

At this time, by the time of New Year's Eve, I'm afraid I'll get the third grade of yellow level."

Guan Zhenren was surprised and said: "I didn't find anyone who used magic to change the celestial phenomena. In the Jiuzhou Landscape Map, I couldn't find any traces of small-scale "Weather Magic".

However, the results of my measurement are not much different from what Master Yu Tian said.

The snowfall was one foot and three inches, and it is likely to increase by two to three inches in the next few days.

The level of the cold disaster is yellow grade three to four, and an early warning can be issued to the governor of Yanmen County.

But the warning is probably useless.

They are already doing their best to keep warm, and without support from other counties and early warning, they can’t do any better.”

When these words were spoken, Meng Qi showed a look of surprise, while the other Heavenly Masters looked at Heavenly Master Yu in doubt.

The result given by Master Yu is similar to that given by Master Guan.

Master Yu Tianshi's results are more precise and accurate, while Master Guan still has some significant error corrections.

Moreover, Master Yu Tian also discovered traces of the Hu people's immortal master causing trouble.

If she is right, then her "Tianshi Dao" Taoism is stronger than Master Guan's?
When many Heavenly Masters thought of this, a look of disbelief appeared in their eyes.

Guan Zhenren himself is the "Grand Heavenly Master" of the Weather and Rain Department.

His experience as the Heavenly Master of the Great Qin alone lasted for more than two hundred years.

He even participated in the copying and production of the "Nine Provinces Landscape Painting" by the Qingyusi, a true veteran and senior.

Xiao Yu floated into the air, tapped the landscape painting with his finger, and said, "This is the key node of the 'evil wind'. The altar where the Hu people's immortal master performed the ritual is probably hidden here."

She drew three more dotted lines on the landscape painting, extending deep into the grassland.

"This is the direction the 'evil wind' is blowing from. It's probably the cold wind borrowed from the northern foothills of the Helan Mountains."

Master Guan frowned and nodded, saying, "I also noticed this cold air. I just thought it was a natural northwest wind."

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Master Guan, look here, and here."

She then pointed to a few locations on the map, drew dotted lines to represent wind direction, and used mirages to simulate the normal movement of clouds and cold winds.

"Did you see that? The warm current that was supposed to blow from the East China Sea was blocked by Yanshan Mountain and turned northwest.

The grassland outside Yanmen Pass should have been warm and sunny during this period, but now it is howling with cold winds and small-scale snowfall has lasted for more than half a month.

If I'm not mistaken, in the past month, the Meng family army has carried out small-scale mopping-up operations outside the Great Wall.

The Xiongnu couldn't stand it anymore and used evil methods to interfere with the actions of the Meng family army. "

"There really is a small-scale raid!" several Heavenly Masters exclaimed.

Meng Qi's face showed even more joy and more surprise.

Master Guan stared at the weather map for a while, with complex emotions such as admiration, jealousy, and frustration emerging in his eyes.

"Master Yu Tian, ​​you are right. I am not as good as you." He said bitterly.

He didn't pay much attention to whether the Meng family army took any military action.

But he was an old senior in the Weather and Rain Department. Just by watching Master Yu Tian's meteorological deductions, he knew how high her level was: at least one level higher than his.

"Master Yu, you really have never practiced the Heavenly Master Method in the past?" he couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yu said: "Ten years ago, I got the fragments of the Five Thunder Method from Liu Tianjun of the Thunder Department."

"So that's how it is!" Master Guan felt a little better.

Meng Qi was full of energy and looked around at all the Heavenly Masters. He said loudly, "Everyone, you have all seen the practice of Heavenly Master Yu. If anyone still has any questions, feel free to speak up."

The Heavenly Masters made eye contact with each other, then bowed together, saying, "We are convinced by Heavenly Master Yu's Heavenly Master Daoism, and have no more doubts."

"Good, good, good!" Meng Qi said happily, "Now I appoint Master Yu Tian as the head of the Emperor's Palace!
Fellow Taoists, you must assist Master Yu in the future and help her manage the Imperial Observatory."

Don’t say Xiaoyu is speechless.

All the Heavenly Masters were complaining in their hearts: At the beginning, they only said that Heavenly Master Yu would be assigned to the Qingyu Division, so how come he became the head just after passing the test? And he was not the head of the Qingyu Division, but the Tianhuang Palace.

What's more, there was something about assisting her in managing the Imperial Observatory. You don't want to act at all, right?
But since you, the boss, are in a hurry to run away, why should we, ordinary Heavenly Masters, stay and be buried with the Qin Dynasty?
The Heavenly Masters who had long intended to leave now became even more determined: When Yu Fengxian becomes the Grand Master, I will also find an opportunity to leave Xianyang.

After letting all the Heavenly Masters return to their "workstations", Meng Qi called Xiao Yu and Guan Zhenren to the side hall and said, "Heavenly Master Yu, since you are ready to take over as the 'Grand Master'--"

Xiao Yu interrupted him immediately and said, "Senior, even if you want to leave Xianyang, there is no need to be so anxious!

I have just entered the Imperial Palace and it will take me at least a few months to adapt to the new environment and new job, and then slowly build up my prestige.

At this moment, the people of Xianyang and the celebrities of the world do not know me. This is really not the best time to take over as the Grand Tutor."

Meng Qi said: "Fairy, you are too modest. Who among the people of Shenzhou doesn't know the name of Fairy Feiyu?
As for the Qi Refiners of Shenzhou, you have been the most influential figure in the Three Realms in the past year.

Besides, I’m not in a hurry to leave.

What I mean is, isn't it time for you to ask for a land title?

Tonight, I will preside over the ancestral worship ceremony and ask for a land title for you, how about that? "

"There's no need to be so anxious to ask for the title of land. Let me work in the Emperor's Palace for a while, and then the former king of the Ying family will be more confident in me." Xiao Yu said.

Meng Qi thought about it and nodded, "Well, asking for a land seal doesn't require any advanced Taoist techniques.

When you want to ask for land grant, you can preside over the ancestor worship ceremony yourself."

Xiao Yu's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Senior, you are not really planning to leave Xianyang immediately, are you?
When the land is sealed, it would be best if you were to preside over the ceremony."

Meng Qi smiled and comforted her, saying: "Don't worry, I won't leave easily until you have dealt with everything properly."

Xiaoyu finally felt relieved.

Meng Qi said: "Master Guan, please explain the specific duties of the 'Heavenly Palace Chief' to Master Yu Tianshi."

"Yes, I know." Master Guan nodded.

That night, Xiaoyu was still studying the veins of Kyushu in the Qingyu Division.

Yang Li Dao Tong rushed in like a gust of wind, his face panicked, and shouted: "Oh no, oh no, Master Meng has resigned from his post!"
