Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 111 The First Six-Star

Xu Zhenyun vaguely felt his heartbeat speeding up.

The man who appeared in Jiang Chengzhi's memory, stretched out his hand and commanded in the inn, and issued a "mission" to Jiang Chengzhi!
At that time, the face of that person was difficult to distinguish, and the only indication was that his eyes were completely white and there were no pupils in them.

Although his face was hidden in the shadows, Xu Zhenyun could still clearly see that this was a person without "pupils".

Combined with this height and figure, it perfectly corresponds to the character in Jiang Chengzhi's memory.

This person placed extremely subtle means in Jiang Chengzhi's body lightly and deftly; it might have been with the help of foreign objects; but it's also possible that he himself had extraordinary strength.

Fortunately, there is "Xu Xiaohei" in the "Jade Rabbit Cave" to support his confidence, and Xu Zhenyun is still calm now.

In critical moments, "Xu Xiaohei" in state [-] can be activated automatically.Even for a first-level top expert, one breath is enough for Xu Zhenyun to tear open the seal and enter states two, three, and four.

At critical moments when life is threatened, warnings about "Status [-]" can only be ignored.

Xu Zhenyun tried his best to keep his footsteps normal and did not show any abnormalities.

After walking forward for more than ten steps, you passed a wooden "guardrail" that turned left - this is the entrance to the south through Shenwu West Street, just like a crosswalk - and pretended to wander into the opposite street.

In this way, he becomes [-] degrees from the original position behind him, which can be seen from the corner of his eye.

It was clearly visible that this person showed no signs of "peeping" and was also moving away at a "constant speed" without any hesitation or change in pace.

Xu Zhenyun was walking on the opposite street, thinking quickly.

Is it a coincidence?
There are not so many coincidences in the world.

Is it "reconnaissance"?
I know that the training place of the direct descendants of the Jin Dynasty is near Pingshuiju, so why don’t you come and check it out?
Or maybe he really wanted to attack himself; but he sensed the existence of a powerful protective treasure on his body and knew that he could not succeed, so it would be a mistake to scare the snake, so he chose to stay put?
Should he report this to Ji Xiaohua, or the "boss" he said would arrive in two hours and was about to report?
It’s easy to find a “reason” not to reveal the source of your information.

The reason for taking decisive action against Fairyou was his father's inheritance, which gave Xu Zhenyun the aura of "intuition and accuracy".

Now this reason can naturally be used again, just say that he feels that someone is following him inexplicably.

But the problem is that Da Chu clearly knows that Jiang Chengzhi’s body fell into the hands of Da Jin; and Jiang Chengzhi once had contact with this “pupilless man”!

On this basis, this person is still walking arrogantly on the streets of Shendu.

This shows that he has enough confidence in his "hiddenness".

If the Dajin side suddenly claims to have grasped clues soon and searches for this person, there is actually a high probability that the person opposite him will be suspicious of the "encounter" with him just now.

Even if the other party couldn't guess that this was the reason why Dao Xin Chessboard absorbed memories, it still meant that he had exposed a very special ability.

The methods used to deal with oneself will also be further upgraded in the future.

When he was about to reach "Pingshui Residence", Xu Zhenyun finally made a decision - wait and take a look!
Weren't you just wondering why Mu Qingyun and Mu Xuan "repeatedly protected" you?Then take a look at the "protective measures" given to yourself after you were included in your official position in advance.

If it is reliable, choose to stay put!

Walking directly opposite Pingshui Residence, Xu Zhenyun transformed into a "little follower" this time and went straight to the fourth floor without any hindrance.

The fourth floor is in the same location, and the entrance decoration looks exactly the same as the second floor.

A gentle push showed that the door was not locked.At the same time, Xu Zhenyun sensed that there were vaguely people inside, and knew that his "boss" had appeared in this "temporary office location".

Pushing open the door and crossing the horizontal aisle, Xu Zhenyun couldn't help but look surprised and blurted out: "Secretary Mu? Lao Liang?"

Mu Xiuxin, who was standing in the middle of the room with her back turned and wearing a plain white dress, slowly turned around.

Even without his face, the iconic green flower crown on his head is enough to make people instantly recognize him.

Sitting near the front, Liang Hongbo laughed enthusiastically, and at the same time hurried forward to greet him, loudly saying: "Brother Zhenyun, I didn't expect that we would become peers so quickly."

"Your growth rate is really unexpected and incredible!"

The size and layout of this room are exactly the same as those on the second floor; but the decoration inside has undergone a big change.

There is no big bed or furniture; instead, the entire room is divided into two. The left half is decorated like a meeting hall, with a large mahogany seat on top and six wide-backed chairs on each side.

On the other half, there are seven more "partition" cubicles, which are like "workstations". Each cubicle has a table and chair, as well as some scattered furniture.

Mu Xiuxin said expressionlessly: "From today on, you are a Silver Guard under the Snow Lion Hall of the Demon Suppression Division."

"Silver Guard?"

Seeing Xu Zhenyun's confused look, Mu Xiuxin explained: "There are 12 halls under the control of the Demon Suppression Division. They are named Snow Lion, Cang Lang, Qing Jiao, Red Eagle, Ming Kite, Flame Bird; White Tiger, Black Rhinoceros, and Black Dog. , Kong Luan, Wandering Owl, and Yingniao.”

"The master of the twelve halls is usually a fourth-grade monk."

"Below each hall, there are gold guards, silver guards, and bronze guards, who are subordinated in turn. They are held by fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-grade monks respectively."

"People with senior qualifications and outstanding achievements in the Golden Guard often hold the title of 'envoy'; just like the dragon envoy Liang Hongbo you are familiar with."

"The Silver Guard served in local areas, and the last time he served was as the supervisor of a county."

A county inspector?In layman's terms, it's equivalent to a mayor...

Xu Zhenyun suddenly had the urge to quit this "Silver Guard" and replace him with a "County Supervisor".

Obviously, in Shendu, this "Silver Guard" who has the same rank as the "Mayor" is just a little shrimp; he is doing some errands!
Xu Zhenyun said humbly: "I am only at the ninth level now. Am I not qualified enough to serve as the Silver Guard that can only be held by the sixth-level monks? Or should I be more down-to-earth and start with the Bronze Guard?"

Mu Xiuxin didn't answer, but moved her chin forward slightly.

Xu Zhenyun looked over and saw a set of official uniforms neatly placed on the table in front of the mahogany chair in the main hall.

Yesterday, after coming out of Dajin Shrine, Xu Zhenyun asked Quan Miaoyan about the "uniform" before leaving.

Compared with the ancient official uniforms that Xu Zhenyun remembered with different patterns embroidered on the breasts of each rank, the "official uniforms" of the Jin Dynasty were obviously neater and simpler, and were only divided into upper, middle and lower grades.

The best ones are the moon crown and the indigo wide-sleeved Lichen gauze; the large two-foot jade wat is used by the third-level monks.

The middle one has three crowns, a five-baht robe with lavender wide sleeves, and a medium-sized chi and half jade wat; it is used by middle-level third-level monks.

The inferior ones have a square crown, blue and white checkered ring robes, and a small one-foot jade wat; they are used by the lower third-grade monks.

On the table in front of him, there is clearly a square crown, a cyan checkered ring robe, and a pure white small jade wat, which are the standard robes of "lower third-grade" monks.

Xu Zhenyun was about to get it, but then he hesitated because he didn't have storage equipment so far, and he didn't know whether the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty would issue it.

I want to reach out and hold the clothes around my waist, but I feel it doesn't look very good.

As soon as his thoughts changed, Xu Zhenyun simply asked directly: "I wonder if the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty distributes items such as storage rings? This... the official uniform jade wat is a key item, so it may not be appropriate to carry it casually."

Mu Xiuxin had a strange look on her face, and she laughed at herself and said, "My expression was just for the wooden man to see. I thought that I would have known about it just after I came out of the main entrance of Dajin Shrine."

Liang Hongbo showed an extremely exaggerated expression, waved his hand suddenly, and shouted loudly: "Brother Zhenyun, look at the collar! Look at the collar quickly!"

Xu Zhenyun was slightly stunned, then stepped forward and opened the collar.

It was clearly visible that at the collar, there was a series of small arc-shaped silver hooks, about the size of a little finger.

Counting carefully, the total number is six.

Xu Zhenyun looked puzzled.

Is this something extraordinary?

Seeing Xu Zhenyun's confused expression, Liang Hongbo made a look like "fainted" and shook his head repeatedly: "Brother Zhenyun! You are the first six-star since the founding of the Jin Dynasty! This is a great honor!"

six stars?

Xu Zhenyun was still confused.

Liang Hongbo immediately explained: "In the Great Jin Immortal Dynasty, different grades correspond to different benefits and salaries. You know this. For more than [-]% of the monks, their own cultivation level is different from your rank in the Great Jin Dynasty. Product' is actually the same thing!"

"A certain level of cultivation is equivalent to a certain level of official status."

"For example, Lao Liang, I have a fifth-grade cultivation level, and I am also a fifth-grade official, and I enjoy the fifth-grade salary."

"But there are also people with outstanding qualifications and abilities who are said to have extra 'stars' on their grades. As you can see on the collar of your robe, there are a few silver hooks, which means a few stars!"

"Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there have only been five stars at most; there have never been six stars!"

Xu Zhenyun pondered: "The meaning of this 'star' is..."

Liang Hongbo said: "Each 'star' is equivalent to adding half a rank. Two 'stars' are equal to one rank. It means adding one rank to your own cultivation level to calculate the official position and benefits."

"Every time you advance, the 'star' will be re-evaluated."

Xu Zhenyun understood and said: "That means that I am now at the ninth level of cultivation, and I am treated as the sixth level?"

Liang Hongbo nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Not bad."

"The monthly salary for the ninth rank is 50 merits and 300 taels of silver. The monthly salary for the sixth rank is [-] merits and [-] taels of silver. The difference is not small."

"silver?"

Xu Zhenyun was a little surprised.

Immediately recalling it, Quan Miaoyan seemed to have mentioned this. The salary of a Taoist monk in the Jin Dynasty was divided into merit in Taoism and silver in worldly matters.

But he didn't care at the time.

Mu Xiuxin's ancient and unwavering face showed a rare aura of agility, and her eyes became sharp: "What? It's unexpected? It is said that your understanding talent in the 'Tongchen' is no less than the 'Tianshi' in the cultivation." Xuan Jing's capital."

"I'm going to test you. I'll give you some time to think about it. Why do monks in the Jin Dynasty receive both merit and silver as their salary?"

"What's the point of this?"
