Chapter 217 Judicial Deacon
Looking at the two decrees in his hands, Jiang Lin fell into deep thought.
"do you understand?"
It was not until Wei Tianjun asked the same question for the second time that Jiang Lin came to his senses.
He raised his head, nodded hesitantly, and said, "You understand...right?"
Jiang Lin himself is a little uncertain now.
He could vaguely understand what Wei Tianjun meant. Even if this was true, the Black Law Division should be responsible for it. However, the Emperor above the Black Law Division was the most powerful person in the Heavenly Court and even the one with the greatest hope of ascending to that position.
But at the moment, it seems that the Emperor has no such intention at all.
Therefore, the Black Law Department has to be more or less cautious in its actions. It must not give anyone a handle to "take advantage of the situation", nor should it appear that "the Emperor does nothing, but allows the Arctic faction to arbitrarily seize power."
So an investigation is necessary, and it must be led by the Black Law Department, but it cannot be led entirely by mages from the Black Law Department.
Jiang Lin knew it, and he also understood and realized the necessity of doing so, but the problem was...
"Fazuma, why the juniors?"
Jiang Lin scratched his head in confusion. He really didn't understand. Although he was the one who caused this matter, the problem was that with his weak arms and legs, could he withstand it?
There are so many people who have become immortals, and even many senior brothers and sisters who have walked on the immortal path are not just decorations.
Even though a Black Law Division deacon like Zuo Tongxuan is too eye-catching, a mainstay like Zhong Mingzhen is completely suitable.
No matter how you think about it, it won't happen to him.
Moreover, this matter sounds very troublesome...
Jiang Lin now just wants to build a Taoist temple and kill the evil spirits in the world...
"The True Lord specifically mentioned your name."
Wei Tianjun's words made Jiang Lin stunned for a moment.
True King?
Although there are many True Lords in Heaven, there is only about one in the Three Realms who can be addressed as such by Wei Tianjun, even without the prefix of his name or title.
"Are you talking about the one from Guanjiangkou?"
Jiang Lin asked with eyes wide open.
Seeing Wei Tianjun nod slightly, Jiang Lin recalled a sentence his teacher said when he first met Wang Lingguan.
The current heaven seems to be led by Dou Mu Yuan Jun and Tai Bai Jin Xing, and maintained by six princesses and true lords.
But it's easy to tell that those princesses are just mascots at best, and if they really want to take charge, it would be like forcing them to do something they shouldn't do.
Therefore, the True Lord can basically be said to be the "Young Lord" who exists in heaven but has no name.
"But, I have never had any contact with this True Lord."
Jiang Lin frowned. Unexplained dislike or like is not a good thing.
"Don't think too much. The True Lord just admires your character."
Wei Tianjun glanced at Jiang Lin and said, "Besides, what do you have that is worthy of others' calculation?"
Too……
Jiang Lin blinked and found that this was indeed the case.
"What's more, this matter is beneficial to you and will not harm you. It is also accumulating resources for your future."
Wei Tianjun analyzed it carefully.
Jiang Lin couldn't help but nodded. He also understood the key points and knew that this was almost a sure thing.
God have mercy on me, Jiang Lin really didn’t want to fight for anything, but in the end it still fell on his head.
"Then what should the juniors do?"
Jiang Lin did not hesitate. Since his superiors had already mentioned him, he would just take over without any hesitation.
"Just do whatever you want."
Wei Tianjun's words were vague, but he immediately followed up with, "Look at your sea of consciousness."
After saying this, Wei Tianjun disappeared.
But in its original place, there was left a portal filled with divine light from heaven.
Through this portal, one can reach heaven directly.
Jiang Lin looked inward and saw that the six large purple-gold characters were still shining brightly in his sea of consciousness.
Is this what the Emperor meant?
The Black Law Department cannot participate deeply, but it can represent, and this representative has... no taboos!
He originally thought that this unconditional decree was only for him to recruit the six heavenly demons, but now it seems that the emperor obviously has deeper meaning.
Jiang Lin thought to himself, took a deep breath, left a message, and then walked into the door in front of him.
Jiang Lin only felt a flash before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, he felt his whole body sink.
That was the suppression of energy from heaven.
In this land, the pure and blessed Qi is too thick, and the immortal Qi is too strong. It is not a good thing for cultivators who have not yet achieved immortality.
There is no need to explain the truth that too much is as bad as too little.
The last time Jiang Lin came to Heaven, he was in the form of his Yang Shen leaving his body, so he didn’t feel the suppression too strongly.
But now, he has ascended to heaven in a mortal body. The difference between them is extremely huge.
Feeling the suppression from the higher-level true Qi, Jiang Lin took a deep breath and slowly mobilized his own Dharma Qi seed.
The foundation that was once built with immortal energy began to operate violently at this moment.
With the blessing of the immortal energy of the Dharma Qi Seed, the feeling of oppression slowly disappeared.
"I see……"
Jiang Lin had just recovered completely when he heard a thoughtful voice in his ears.
He looked up and found himself in a simple and elegant quiet room. In front of him was a huge desk. Ninety percent of the space on the desk was occupied by stools of different designs, all of which exuded a rich immortal energy.
On the other side of the table, there was a figure in white sitting upright.
This is a young man, very handsome, with a silver divine pattern between his eyebrows, like a third eye.
The young man was wearing a water-resistant suit and a cloud-shaped crown on his head. He was looking at Jiang Lin with a smile.
After seeing the divine pattern on the young man's forehead, Jiang Lin immediately guessed the identity of the man in front of him.
He immediately took two steps forward and raised his hand in salute.
"The fifth-rank mage of the Black Law Division of the North Pole Exorcism Institute, Jiang Lin and Jiang Xuanying, the cultivators on earth, greet the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao."
Jiang Lin bowed while thinking in his heart.
What did Zhenjun mean by "So that's how it is" just now?
But it was obvious that Yang Jian had no intention of explaining. He just looked at the young man in front of him with interest.
The young Taoist in green and wearing a lotus crown seemed a bit presumptuous, but Yang Jian didn't care at all.
"Do you know why I singled out your name?"
Yang Jian waved at Jiang Lin, motioning him to sit down and talk.
Jiang Lin bowed first, then nodded slightly after sitting down, but there was some doubt in his eyes.
Although Wei Tianjun was the guarantor and it was not a sugar-coated bullet but just pure appreciation, Jiang Lin also wanted to know where this appreciation came from.
"Actually, I just got excited at the beginning."
Yang Jian looked at Jiang Lin, and suddenly a wicked smile appeared on his lips. He said, "Since you have decided not to follow the rules and put everything out in the open, then be more thorough."
Jiang Lin didn't say anything, because it was obvious that the True Lord in front of him had more to say.
"However, after seeing you, I discovered..."
Yang Jian laughed, his eyes suddenly restrained: "You and I are very similar, very similar in nature."
Jiang Lin said: "How can this humble official…" "Don't say polite words, you are awkward and it hurts me to listen to you."
Yang Jian interrupted Jiang Lin and raised his hand to tap on the table.
Jiang Lin then looked down and saw a token appear where Yang Jian had pointed his finger.
A silver-white token, two fingers wide and palm long, looks like a handleless blade.
Jiang Lin picked up the token. On the front of the token, the word "Justice" was inlaid with gold wire and written in iron and silver.
Then, Jiang Lin turned to the back and saw the four words "Ling Xiao's Imperial Order".
In name, the Hall of Justice is considered a department established by Shenxiao Yushu, but in reality, the Hall of Justice is directly under the Lingxiao Hall, which belongs only to the Supreme Being of the Three Realms.
"This is the deacon token of the Hall of Justice. There are only three of them in the entire Hall of Justice."
Yang Jian smiled and said, "The two great spiritual officials who reward the good and punish the evil, who are also my deputies, each take one, and the last one will be given to you for safekeeping for the time being."
"The Xiezhi Army of the Palace of Justice has a total of five thousand households, each of which has ten hundred households. Each of them is the elite among the elite, and was trained by me personally."
Yang Jian pointed to the token in Jiang Lin's hand and said, "Now, these fifty people are under your command. Go and do what you want."
Hearing this, Jiang Lin looked up in disbelief.
What kind of company champion is this...
Moreover, this should be part of the assets of the Palace of Justice, right?
Just give it to an outsider to transfer?
Although he was confused, Jiang Lin did not say it out loud. Since it was the arrangement of this True Lord, there would be no change whether he asked or not.
"Yes, I will obey your orders."
"Go."
Yang Jian nodded and watched Jiang Lin stand up, bow, and leave the quiet room.
The young master of heaven smiled mysteriously, with a hint of expectation in his smile.
"Let me see if you can stick to it."
…………
Jiang Lin did not hear Yang Jian's last mumblings.
He left the quiet room, walked through a corridor, and saw a bluestone-paved square in front of him.
And in this square, there stood quietly fifty generals wearing silver armor and black robes. Each of them wore a thick black mask without any patterns or decorations. All that could be seen were a pair of extremely calm eyes without any emotion.
These are the fifty centurions of the Xiezhi Army of the Palace of Justice, each of them is an evil star trained by Yang Jian himself.
"Obey."
Jiang Lin raised the deacon token of the Hall of Justice in his hand.
After seeing those pairs of eyes, Jiang Lin smelled a familiar scent on these Xiezhi Baihu, the scent of "the same kind".
These are all law enforcers.
Therefore, Jiang Lin was not polite at all, nor did he make any flowery speeches or try to build relationships.
Once it is spoken, it becomes a law that must be enforced impartially.
The Xiezhi captains remained silent, they just let go of the black knives on their waists, and bowed in unison, saluting Jiang Lin, or rather, the token of the deacon of the Hall of Justice in Jiang Lin's hand.
Jiang Lin didn't care. He didn't have any domineering aura. He could easily beat any one of the fifty people in front of him. Did he expect that they would bow down to him just by shaking his body?
"Follow me to Tianshuyuan to investigate the case of the imitation of the Six Caves Heavenly Demon near Hangzhou City in the human world."
Jiang Lin was already mentally prepared on how to investigate this case. In other words, anyone with a clear eye would know that Tianshuyuan was the headquarters of the Tianren faction.
As long as it was the Celestial Beings who were causing trouble, then 80% of them would be able to find some clues in Tianshuyuan. What? The remaining 20%?
The remaining 20% can of course be used to capture the God of Sin himself directly in Tianshuyuan.
At this moment, Jiang Lin hoped that his "luck" would be worse.
He imitated the Six-Nether Sky Demon and prepared to build a Fengdu on earth to forcibly divide the authority of the North Pole Exorcism Institute.
This matter has already touched upon the bottom line of the Black Law Division.
If Jiang Lin doesn't take ruthless action now, his senior brothers will definitely take ruthless action against him when he goes to the Black Law Division next time.
For my sake, please accept the injustice of the gods.
Jiang Lin thought so in his heart, definitely not because the Taoist priest was also prepared to take ruthless action.
"only!"
Their thoughts raced in a flash, and almost as soon as Jiang Lin finished speaking, the fifty Xiezhi captains opened their mouths to receive orders.
The voice was not very loud, nor was there any excited emotion, it was just a calm response.
But even beneath this calmness, there is a meaning that makes people feel cold to the core.
Jiang Lin walked out of the Hall of Justice with fifty Xiezhi centurions. Although they were all soldiers wearing full armor, they walked silently, as if ghosts were passing through.
It is so incompatible with the peaceful and harmonious environment of heaven.
Moreover, the group of people did not ride on clouds, but walked on the white jade road that was everywhere in the heaven.
For a moment, the heaven that was clearly a place of peace and happiness for immortals seemed to be filled with the feeling of a hundred demons parading at night because of this group of people.
On the road, when immortals and gods occasionally encountered this team of "weird" law enforcers, almost every one of them subconsciously lowered their heads and walked away quickly.
The reputation of the Judicial Hall in the Heavenly Court is comparable to that of the Black Law Department. Both represent a certain bottom line...
And now, it is the "joint law enforcement" of the Palace of Justice and the Black Law Department.
No immortal or god would be willing to have any interaction with such a group of people.
Jiang Lin didn't care about what happened on the road. He just flipped through the token of the deacon of the Hall of Justice in his hand, and then touched the two decrees in his arms.
He suddenly turned his head and asked, "Ling Xiao's Imperial Order, Beiji's Decree, and the Judicial Hall's Deacon Token, what can these three do together?"
Jiang Lin was asking a Xiezhi captain who was following him. His questions were a bit strange and had no specific direction.
But when Jiang Lin and the Xiezhi captain looked at each other, the latter instantly understood what Jiang Lin wanted to ask.
"Below the fifth rank, execute first and report later."
Xiezhi Baihu's voice was still steady and calm, but there was a hint of silence in it.
Obviously, even this battle-hardened law enforcer of the Hall of Justice had never seen so many buffs "stacked" on himself.
He looked at Jiang Lin with some surprise. He also smelled the same scent from this fifth-grade wizard who had not yet achieved immortality.
A qualified law enforcer.
The captain was thinking about it, and suddenly changed his mind.
But, if I was just qualified, would the True Lord favor me so much?
He suddenly became curious about Master Jiang's next preparation.
Jiang Lin ignored the centurion's gaze, he just stopped and looked up.
What was before him was the main gate of Tianshuyuan.
Jiang Lin thought about it, stepped forward, and slowly raised his hand facing the astonished looks of the immortals and gods coming and going in Tianshu Courtyard.
"In compliance with Ling Xiao's decree and Beiji's command."
"Xiezhi Army obeys orders."
Jiang Lin lowered his arm with a smile, and there was a coldness in that smile.
"Seal off Tianshu Courtyard, no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission."
"only!"
Behind him, fifty Xiezhi centurions, like ghosts, responded in unison.
'choke!'
Fifty pitch-black long swords suddenly appeared in front of the gate of Tianshu Courtyard!
