What kind of Journey to the West is this?

...................

Qinghua Changle Realm, Dongji Miaoyan Palace.

Purple light shines on the inner palace.

The Neifu and Tianguan Office were collectively known as the "Two Offices", which were in charge of the Miaoyan Palace's matters of granting certificates, relocations, and assisting Taiyi Da Tianzun in liberating the souls from hell and refining elixirs and wines.

In the Alchemy Palace, two immortal officials whispered, "Why did Qinghe ask us to come to the Alchemy Palace? We didn't steal the Soul-Returning Potion. That was done by True Man Qingji!"

Another immortal official smiled bitterly and said, "That day, True Man Qingji reincarnated into the lower world to experience tribulation. It was us who stamped the document. I'm afraid they want to blame us."

"Biqi Niang! Reincarnation and experiencing tribulations were discussed and agreed upon by the Zizhao Mansion, and Tianzun nodded in approval! He doesn't dare to cause trouble for the Zizhao Mansion, nor does he dare to trouble Tianzun and make things difficult for the two of us."

The immortal official cursed angrily and snorted, "I think we should all go down to the mortal world to experience the tribulations! I've said it before, Qinghe is incompetent and without virtue. If he weren't related to the Tianshu Palace's Du'e Star Lord, who would bother with him? He's a villain who has achieved success!"

The immortal official beside him smiled bitterly, "Stop talking, let's go meet him first."

"Let's go."

The two of them turned the corner, said something to the boy guarding the door of the alchemy room, and then stepped into the alchemy room.

The alchemy room was shrouded in clouds and mist and was extremely spacious. There was an Eight Diagrams furnace in the middle, and medicine shelves filled with porcelain bottles of elixirs were on all eight sides.

The furnace had gone out. Two Taoist children, their horns tied together, stood at the fire entrance. They spoke to a blue-robed immortal official nearby, saying, "Master, our hall's Soul-Returning Potion is sufficient to supply the palace this year. Why do we need to temporarily refine three more furnaces?"

Master Qinghe looked at the two Taoist boys and snorted, "That's easy to say. Three pots of Soul-Returning Juice this year were secretly drunk by Master Qingji. If the inner court finds out, how will we explain it?"

The two Taoist boys whispered: We haven’t seen the full amount in previous years, why didn’t you mention it in previous years?

But they had little influence and had no choice but to work hard to refine the medicine.

Over there, two immortal officials came over and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master."

"Ok!"

But Master Qinghe didn't even glance at it. He turned and walked towards the medicine shelf, picked up a bottle of elixir and examined it carefully. "Has Master Qingji gone to the lower world?"

The two immortal officials looked at each other, speechless.

Well, you really think you are that important!

"I went to the lower realm, but I didn't go to Haidong. I went to Sichuan and Chongqing."

Master Qinghe frowned and said, "Oh? Why did you suddenly change places?"

"I heard that it was An Bazui from Cangzhou who recommended him." The two immortal officials spoke vaguely.

"Anba's sin..."

Master Qinghe pondered for a moment, but he didn't expect it to be this name.

I heard that he did great things in Cangzhou and was awarded the seventh rank.

Moreover, it was Qingji Zhenren Xie Ziran who personally entertained him...Shangren Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly.

Serving as an official in heaven also has its own rules. Only those who have achieved the level of celestial immortality or enlightenment are eligible for the seventh rank. Otherwise, they are generally granted ninth or eighth rank positions, or even random titles. Only those who have made outstanding contributions are eligible for promotion to the seventh rank.

The seventh rank is basically the backbone of the heavenly court.

The purifier of Miaoyan Palace, the messenger of the Plague Department, the clerk of the Thunder Department, the general of Tianhe...are all of the seventh rank.

"I'm afraid that's against the rules."

The two immortal officials felt a pang of fear in their hearts and laughed, "Then it has nothing to do with us!"

"I just went to Mount Putuo and heard that Cangzhou Bazui actually massacred the Qinglong Temple, a famous Cangzhou family and a sacred Buddhist site. This is not in line with the purpose of my Miaoyan Palace."

Master Qinghe has something in mind.

The two immortal officials looked at each other, smiled, and did not comment.

This is bullshit to hear.

How could such a sacred Buddhist place be destroyed by a mere seventh-rank bazui? I'm afraid he would find a pretext to accuse me.

"Please go back, both of you!"

They naturally wouldn't bother to show their respect to the guests, so they would just leave with a wave of their sleeves.

After leaving the alchemy room, turning left and right and walking out of the alchemy hall, I happened to meet Jiuling Yuansheng who was patrolling outside the door.

The two men bowed and forced a smile, "Greetings, old messenger."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

Jiuling Yuansheng looked at the two of them, and seeing that they looked unhappy, he asked with concern, "But is that Master Qinghe causing trouble again?"

An immortal official said, "Old Emissary, that's right! The dignified Zizhao Palace has been thrown into chaos by a backdoor intruder from the Nandou Palace!"

Another immortal official said, "Master Qinghe has long been dissatisfied with Master Xie because of the Soul-Returning Potion. Fortunately, he didn't take the blame on us."

"Alas! I am just a figurehead and didn't even guard the door properly."

"Old envoy, there's no need to belittle yourself. Master Xie is quite clever. If she wanted to steal the wine, who else but the Heavenly Lord could stop her? It's a pity for An Ba from Cangzhou. Not only is he being targeted, but he's also being accused of a crime for nothing! Qinghe deserves to be killed!"

Jiuling Yuansheng was stunned. He didn't expect that his fellow villagers were also mentioned here.

He asked, "Could you tell me more about An Ba Zuin?"

--------------

I encountered some problems recently, but it is finally over and I am back to normal now.

The Jade Talisman of the Eastern Emperor Arrives Suddenly: Chapter 195 [King Yu's Journey]

Baitoufang, in a courtyard somewhere.

Yan Xia looked at the two corpses on the ground and said, "Just burn them. I just saw that the souls of these two wizards were sold to the ghosts and gods behind them. There is no trace of them."

This is also the old business of ghosts and gods: you want my magic power, you can, but you have to stake your three souls and seven spirits on me. It's a one-time deal. Either you become an immortal and your soul will gather and disperse as you wish, or if you die, your soul will belong to me.

To some extent, ghosts and gods are indeed the oldest investors. Later, these gods restrained themselves a bit, and the traditional slave trade turned into a debt slave trade, borrowing two parts of magic power and repaying three parts of vows. Although it was still harsh, at least human lives were no longer required.

But obviously, the ghosts and gods behind these two priests belong to the traditional school, that is, the "Six Heavenly Ghosts".

Jiang Banxia narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered, "The old monster of the Five Barbarians is still the barbarian god of the Xiongnu."

"It could also be a Mohe shaman, a demon king from the Western Regions. Who knows? The world is full of monsters and demons."

Yan Xia snorted and laughed, "When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Let's not talk about this. Feiyunfangzhu, Danxiangyuan is a place of filth and corruption. This business..."

She is trying to extort money from me.

Feiyun seemed to have expected this and looked directly into An Yanxia's eyes. "I will definitely focus on rectifying the atmosphere in Danxiangyuan from now on."

"The Heavenly Official has uncovered a major omission in Danxiangyuan. You must accept this gift."

After saying that, Feiyun raised his hand and handed over a silver token. The token was very simple and rustic, with a few lines of rough characters engraved on the front. These characters looked like insects and birds, and Yanxia had never seen them before.

It can only be vaguely seen that it is somewhat similar to the "bronze inscriptions" of the Zhou Dynasty, but the structure of the characters is closer to the "oracle bone script" of the Shang Dynasty.

"This is?"

Feiyun glanced at Jiang Banxia, who was playing and frolicking with Xue Shier, then glanced at the black cat lying on the ground, and beckoned, "Please go talk somewhere else."

Yan Xia followed her out the door with doubts.

"This is the order from King Yu's cave residence."

Yan Xia's eyes flashed with surprise, and she asked, "Since it's the warrant from King Yu's cave, how did it end up in your hands?"

This is a very blunt statement, almost saying how could you, a vixen, get the prince's treasure.

Feiyun said, "When King Yu married Tushan, all the fox tribes in the world rejoiced. They built mountain retreats in each of the four sacred realms for King Yu to stay in. Although none of these retreats had been visited, the things inside were still there."

"As far as I know, the Yuwang Cave in Qingqiu is a paradise in itself, and the medicinal fields are planted with many precious medicines. It has not been opened for over two thousand years, and the precious medicines inside..."

It should have medicinal properties of more than two thousand years.

Feiyun did not point out this sentence.

—A precious medicine that's over two thousand years old! And there's more than one!

A whole medicinal field must have at least hundreds or even thousands of medicinal herbs. This is truly a rare treasure!

It's really an old power, with a large family and great wealth. A cave built in Qingqiu thousands of years ago has so many treasures...

Yan Xia touched her golden elixir, and it suddenly lost its fragrance.

She accepted the token and said, "I had no intention of thoroughly investigating the previous events. But no one wants something like today to happen again."

After being slightly scolded, Feiyun finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will obey your orders."

"Hopefully."

Yan Xia shook her head and didn't care.

With a whoosh, the snow lion roared over there. She took the snow lion's hand and left Baitoufang with Jiang Banxia.

She will have to go to heaven to report on her work in a few days and has no time to deal with the fox.

..........

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In Zhenyuanfang, outside Danxiangyuan.

The cold wind blew, blowing up snowflakes and dropping them onto the sheepskin coat.

Wang Dutou rubbed his hands, his mind full of achievements. He thought that when he heard a roar, he would rush in and ask for a favor from the noble man.

The dozen or so patrolling soldiers behind him were shivering from the cold, their snot bubbles almost frozen.

"Captain, it's already past midnight. Could that nobleman be lying to us..."

Wang Dutou was immediately furious and said, "How is that possible! That nobleman is a great figure respected by the governor and the military officers. Why would he try to fool us soldiers?"

"Captain, maybe you forgot."

"forget?"

Wang Du looked left and right again, and even the lights in Danxiang Garden were about to go out one after another.

But the adult's instructions are as if they are ringing in my ears - and besides, this is related to whether I can have a bright future!

He calmed down and scolded, "Keep squatting and waiting!"

Suddenly, there was widespread grief.

But to Wang Dutou's disappointment, An Yanxia had indeed forgotten about the soldiers guarding Danxiang Garden.

It wasn't until several days later, when Feiyun went to the Fangzheng and angrily criticized the patrol soldiers for not doing their job and wandering around outside Danxiang Garden every day, that the matter was reported to An Yanxia.

Things had come to this point, and she couldn't let these soldiers rob Danxiangyuan again, so she offered each of them three taels of compensation.

She An Yanxia lost a few hairs, Danxiangyuan operated normally, and the soldiers got their money. Except for Wang Dutou who saw no future, everyone was happy.

................

In the three heavens.

Breaking through the heavy clouds and mist, the blue phoenix flapped its wings, creating two streams of air and isolating the strong wind outside.

Entering from the South Gate of Heaven and flying over many seas of clouds, you can see several fairy mountains and many caves.

Without exception, medicinal fields have been opened up on these mountains. Many immortal officials stand by the fields, pinching up the soil and taking a sip.

"The soil is fertile this year, so there's definitely enough for the Heavenly Hospital. We might even be able to allocate some to the Tushita Palace. We don't need those exorbitantly priced people from the Ten Continents Holy Land to help us."

"But there are still fewer aged medicinal herbs. I heard that there are quite a few in the garden of the Emperor of Longevity... Well, there are also many in the Three Mountains and Ten Islands."

They have a lot of medicinal herbs, but they didn’t fall from the sky.

The immortal official rolled his eyes and said, "Then go and get it."

"Ahem, I'm just saying this. Um... the Qingluan Messenger has arrived."

The immortal official looked up and felt a surge of yang energy descending.

The familiar breath made him smile and he stepped forward to greet Qingluan.

When the Blue Luan descended, he clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to the Princess Sansheng."

"No need to be polite!"

A girl wearing a red cloud dress jumped off Qingluan's back. She was about eighteen or nineteen years old.
