Chapter 46: What is the dragon’s den and the tiger’s lair? In the Shang Dynasty, The emperor looked excited and very excited. The ancient physical cultivators who had reached the tribulation stage had already been imprisoned, and the martial arts path that would have brought disaster to the people in the future was now in name only. It can be said that he added a great achievement just by lying down. You know, there were ancient monks who had been sleeping and awakened before, but this is the first big fish in the Tribulation Period that was caught. Of course, for him, it didn’t matter whether he had made any achievements or not. The key point was that it was the first time that he saw shock and admiration in the eyes of the leaders of those immortal gates and super sects! This is what he desires most. Everyone likes to show off their power, and the emperor is no exception. Before, it was meaningless to show his holiness in front of his own subjects and people. And in front of immortal gates and super-class sects, it was easy to be shown his holiness, which was even more meaningless. Now, he finally has the opportunity to show his prowess in front of the leaders of all the major sects, and of course he is very happy.
After he ordered a thorough investigation, he quickly figured out the whole story. In the end, all the focus was on Xu Gu. “Xu Gu first kidnapped a group of famous chefs from Zhaojiagouzhou, angering Patriarch Zhao. "He also suggested to Li Shouhe, the deputy chief of police in Baique Street City, to modify the martial arts secret manual and add a prerequisite for cultivation - cutting off the kidney essence. This extraordinary conspiracy not only caused the martial arts to wither, but also led to the emergence of the ancient tribulation body cultivators who were lurking in the dark and watching with eager eyes. “He led the Tribulation Body Cultivator to the enraged Sect Master Zhao and resolved the crisis effortlessly. "He even considered that this resolution would not be implemented in other places, so he deliberately chose to implement it in Zhaojiagou, a holy place for honest and simple physical cultivation. “One thing after another, one plan after another. "What he was thinking was exactly the same as my plan." The Great Shang Emperor had an aloof and proud look on his face, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He said to the ministers below with an expression of great minds thinking alike: "With such great talent, is he not qualified to be my imperial teacher?" Just now, he had just said that he wanted to appoint Xu Gu as the national teacher, which directly aroused collective opposition from all the important cabinet officials. It really pissed him off! If such a talent were to serve as his imperial teacher and give him advice, wouldn't he be able to show his divine power anytime and anywhere? "In this way, my life will be colorful." The Emperor of the Great Shang fell into beautiful reverie. Unfortunately, fantasy is beautiful, but reality is cruel. "This is a serious matter, and the position of the National Master is of utmost importance. You can't easily promise it to others!" "Otherwise, it will shake the country!" "Also, although Xu Gu is as intelligent as an immortal, he is extremely mysterious. We know very little about him. What if he has evil intentions?" “Even if he is really appointed as the National Master, those leaders of the immortal sects and super sects will inevitably feel dissatisfied. They may even recommend people to be the National Master, Grand Master, Mystical Master, etc., which is not conducive to unity.”
"Also, the appointment of court officials has corresponding regulations according to the law. It is against the law to directly promise such a high position!" The ministers talked a lot. Anyway, the meaning is obvious, it still doesn’t work. The emperor's face was dark and he was silent for a long time. All the ministers below held their breath and kept silent, wondering what was going on. then, The emperor said in a cold and impatient voice: "How about giving him a position as an external sword bearer?" The sword-bearer has no rank, but represents the emperor, similar to an imperial envoy, and has the power to execute first and report later. Under normal circumstances, this position should be extremely honorable and powerful. However, the Shang Dynasty was founded on laws. Even if the sword-bearer executed first and reported later, if he violated the law, he would be severely punished and there would be no privileges. Therefore, his power was average and he held a middle-level position in the court. But even so, it is somewhat against the rules to promise it to a young boy who has just started out. Especially, I don’t even know the other party’s identity. They were about to continue their persuasion. At this time, Xu Gu's identity was also investigated. "Xu Gu, a disciple of a hidden sect, knew that the world was about to fall into chaos because of the signs of destiny that the devil would rise, so he went out to save the world. Together with Li Shaobai, Huan Caiyi and five other disciples of the five major immortal sects, he went undercover in the devil's cave. His identity is innocent." A eunuch hurried into the cabinet and said in a sharp voice: "The reason why he didn't change his appearance while in Zhaojiagou should be to hint to the court to give him a similar position so that it would be convenient for him to carry out activities in the Demonic Path in the future." "This..." The ministers fell into deep thought. The emperor above was looking down at those below with an air of majesty, as if to say, let's see what excuses you have. "Your Majesty is wise!" The ministers bowed their heads and saluted. Now, Xu Gu has a clean identity and has made such great contributions, so he deserves to be rewarded. Moreover, the emperor also made concessions, from appointing an imperial teacher to appointing a sword-bearer, which was a huge concession. If these ministers continue to hinder, it would be tactless. "Then let's adjourn the meeting!" The Great Shang Emperor snorted coldly and waved his hand to order the cabinet ministers to retreat. "Your Majesty, Holy Might!" The important officials bowed their heads and bowed, then left. The emperor's expression eased, and the corners of his mouth rose. "I can't control you anymore?" He had said before that Xu Gu would be appointed as the imperial teacher, originally to let the ministers bargain. His intention was to appoint Xu Gu as the external sword bearer. Then, the emperor smiled and said to his trusted eunuch: "When Xu Aiqing is ready, give him the position token and tell him that I expect him to make great contributions to the country." He was already looking forward to the scene in which Xu Gu would be used by him in the future and help him to continue to show his divine power.
"Yes." The trusted eunuch nodded and bowed. …… And on the other side, This was because the Bushido movement was in chaos, and a vacuum of ruling power appeared at the grassroots level. All the demonic forces were delighted. Although they couldn't understand why the martial arts world had suddenly become so chaotic, they were not stupid and had already begun to frantically seize this part of power and take advantage of the chaos to accumulate the living space for the martial arts world. All of this is under the control of justice and the court. All the evil forces have undercover agents from the righteous and the government. The evil forces have occupied the grassroots underground ruling power, which makes it easier to manage. After all, the magic path is different from the warrior path. It does not belong to mortals and is not protected by the law. To investigate the power of the magic path, you don't need evidence, you just need a list. Zhaojiagou, Shi Shangpin and other demon cultivators looked crazy, stepping on the heads and corpses of a group of warriors, holding blood swords in their hands, and said fanatically: "Master Demon, did you see that? "We have taken down half of the underground forces in Zhaojiagou, and we have lived up to your high hopes of disrupting the entire Zhaojiagou martial arts world for us! "Although we are low-level demon cultivators, we are not content to be ordinary low-level demon cultivators! Give us some more time, and we will definitely live like a demon. By then, everyone in the world will recognize you!" Their blood was boiling, and they thought they had fulfilled their original promise to Xu Gu. Their morale was high, their ambitions were high, and they were eager to go further. Of course Xu Gu had no idea about what was going on outside, nor did he care. At this moment, he In his own cave, he had originally left the Alchemy Peak and wanted to go to the Sutra Library to select a few magic spells to use in order to show off his skills in the Fallen Spirit Pond. then, The entry system actually popped up a prompt. [Complete life achievements, build Alchemy Peak, and be rewarded with three purple item fragments. ] Xu Gu naturally would not have any hesitation and of course chose to return to the cave to merge. [Congratulations, you have obtained the purple entry - Dragon's Lair and Tiger's Den] [Dragon Pond and Tiger's Lair: Dragon Pond is always next to Tiger's Lair. ] "Huh? A teleportation entry?" Xu Gu thought for a moment and roughly guessed the purpose of this entry. Then, his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a bold idea came to his mind. Thinking of this, he stood up, walked out of the cave and went to the Sutra Library. "You actually came back alive? What are you doing?" The white fox who was resting in seclusion in the cave felt the movement and was very happy and excited to see that it was Xu Gu who came back. He jumped onto Xu Gu's shoulder and asked in confusion. "Go to the Sutra Library and learn some magic spells so that you can go fishing." Xu Gu said calmly. (End of this chapter)
