Chapter 20 Origami Magic

A yellow bird suddenly flew towards Gao Jian and Bai Ping.

The reason why it was abrupt was that the yellow bird went straight to Gao Jian without turning at all, and fell straight towards Gao Jian.

Gao Jian immediately drew his sword.

But Bai Ping said, "It has the golden seal of the imperial court on it. It is an origami magical power, so it should not have any malicious intentions."

"Magic power? What's the difference between it and magic?"

Bai Ping said, "The difference is huge. After passing the 'divine barrier', one can cultivate 'divine will', which is called 'divine power'. Divine power, first, is spirit, which is related to the mind, and second, is communication, which mostly uses the mind to communicate with things, which is different from magic. The 'charm' in the Taoist songs and calligraphy and paintings we practice can only be written after passing the divine barrier, which is also a kind of divine power."

"Look at this origami magic. It is to fold paper with the mind. Whether it is a paper bird or a paper man, it is vivid and can move and even fight. It is very mysterious."

"In other words, this paper bird was made by a master who broke through the divine barrier, but why would it come to you?" Bai Ping was a little confused.

"It's about Ningtai County." Gao Jian said casually, then reached out and caught the yellow bird.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that the yellow bird was indeed made of paper, but it was folded extremely delicately, lifelike, and naturally cute. If you didn't hold it in your hands and play with it, you would never be able to tell that it was made of paper.

The yellow bird chirped twice in Gao Jian's hand, then automatically disintegrated and turned into a piece of letter paper.

There were short words written on the letter:

"The evildoer usurped the position of county magistrate, arbitrarily changed the imperial edict, fabricated charges, and slandered the court with his actions, causing the people to be punished and wrongly blaming the court. His crime is unforgivable. We should have cooperated in suppressing him to ensure the safety of the country. However, the local officials failed to supervise and delayed the work, which almost caused a disaster."

"However, fortunately, you are loyal, you have saved the county people from danger, eliminated the harm of the county, and defended the troubles of the town. You are a chivalrous hero. As the ancient saying goes: 'If there are no virtuous people left in the countryside, all nations will be peaceful.' In order to ensure that the virtuous people are not left in the countryside and the treasures are not covered in dust, I have sent you a letter. Take this letter to the capital of Cangzhou and you can take an official position."

It was just such a short sentence, and there was an official seal behind it.

The official seal is engraved with Nine-fold Seal Script, with four large characters inscribed on it: "Xing Shangshu Seal".

"Master, what rank of official is the Shangshu?" Gao Jian asked.

“Minister…? He is probably at the level of the Third Cave Master in the Zhenjing Taoist Palace. At least he should be an eighth-level powerful being after two levels, and not far from becoming an immortal. In terms of power… he is also at the upper echelons of the Qiyun Divine Dynasty. How could such a person…” Bai Ping didn’t quite understand.

"Have you noticed that this character looks familiar? It's a bit like the handwriting on the copper coin, especially the character 'Bao'. The strokes are almost exactly the same." Gao Jian pointed at the handwriting and compared it with the handwriting on the copper coin.

"That is to say...haha, congratulations, congratulations." Bai Ping patted Gao Jian on the shoulder: "Brother, if you don't want to become a monk, now you have a way out."

"A way out? How is the Qiyun Divine Dynasty doing? I'm afraid I'll get into trouble if I go in." Gao Jian had some self-knowledge, so he asked in advance.

Bai Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry. I can't say that the whole Divine Dynasty is pure as jade, but most places should be pretty good. If nothing else, just look at the ten miles of rice seedlings around you. What do you think?"

"Whether the government is concerned about government affairs can be seen from the weather and wind and rain. However, I am also from the mountains, and there is still a gap between me and the people below the mountains. These are all what I read in books. You have to go in and see for yourself to know the details."

Takami looked around.

The rice seedlings in the ten-mile area have begun to bear ears of grain, so this year will definitely be a good harvest.

Indeed, the good weather and good harvests here are enough to convince Gao Jianxin.

Moreover, in this place full of monsters and demons, the Divine Dynasty should always protect the people. Otherwise, with the concentration of monsters and demons, ordinary people would have a hard time living.

"What is the Divine Dynasty's method of cultivation?" Gao Jian asked.

“Let me put it this way, in the Divine Dynasty’s treasury, there is the Three Caves Method of the Zhenjing Taoist Palace.” Bai Ping said.

Gao Jian pondered. Obviously, as a court with strong actual control over the grassroots and seemingly at the peak of national strength, collecting the world's skills is obviously a must.

Moreover... the Zhenjing Taoist Palace seems to be very supportive of this matter, which means that he can find a practice method that is very suitable for him in the treasury of the Divine Dynasty.

Besides, it was a Shangshu who personally invited me over. It was obvious that the Qiyun Divine Dynasty already knew what happened in Ningtai County, but they didn't seem to make it public. After all, if they wanted to make it public, they should have let me return to Ningtai County as soon as possible.

Gao Jian guessed that this must be because there might be some interests involved, and the Shangshu did not want him to get involved, so he wanted him to go to Cangzhou.

But it doesn’t make sense…

Gao Jian had a headache.

To be fair, he actually wanted to go, but he was worried that something might happen. Maybe it would involve some conspiracy. Gao Jian didn't believe that there was no scheming or strangeness in a minister's personal mention of him.

As if he had noticed Gao Jian's dilemma, Bai Ping suddenly said, "Young man, do you want to go?"

"I want to go." Gao Jian did not hide it.

"Afraid?" Bai Ping asked again.

"Afraid." Gao Jian nodded.

"This is unlike you. You are not afraid of thousands of headless ghosts." Bai Ping was a little surprised.

Hearing this, Gao Jian was suddenly stunned.

In fact, it has only been less than ten days since I came to this world.

From knowing about mountain gods and evil ghosts, to understanding that there is no natural wind and rain in this world, to actually facing the evil ghosts.

Sometimes, it seems that the more people have, the more afraid they become.

Gao Jian suddenly shook his head and slapped himself: "A few days ago, I told myself that people should solve problems instead of themselves, but I forgot it today!"

"If you want to go, then go. If there is any problem, you can talk about it after you go. Why would you worry about it before you go and scare yourself?"

"Go!" Gao Jian patted his chest and made the decision immediately!

He was not afraid of thousands of headless ghosts trying to kill him, but he became so timid just because he was associated with the Shangshu. What kind of person is that? !

A good man should be brave. What a shame to be timid!
All the doubts in his mind were dispelled, and he was filled with heroic spirit. He threw all his worries out of his mind and just wanted to send Bai Ping back to the mountain gate as soon as possible, and then go to Cangzhou to officially embark on the path of cultivation.

Bai Ping also saw it, so he nodded: "Then let's go quickly. When we get to the next county town, we can ride horses and return to the mountain gate in no time."

"Okay!" Gao Jian replied.

The two men then quickened their pace, crossed the river, walked through ten miles of wheat and headed towards the next county town.

I fly high and far away from here, and the green mountains look down to see me.

The autumn scenery along the way is just right, and it is just the right amount of ambition to ascend to the immortal mountain without relying on an immortal’s staff!
