Chapter 728 Chapter 727
Wen Zhong, as the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord, is the second-rank official, and is the highest god in the Lei Department.
This position is considered to be the second highest figure among all the disciples of Jiejiao in Tianting, and his master Doumu Yuanjun, also known as Jinling Holy Mother, is not only the direct disciple of Master Tongtian, but also the leader of Doubu.
It can be said that although Wen Zhong's cultivation level is not high, his status and authority are already second to none.
Shi Zhongkui came to him in order to use Wen Zhong's position to force Shi Tianjun to send out the Ten Jue Formation.
Wen Zhongzheng frowned and thought about why Shi Zhongkui came to look for him.
A righteous god from the Lei Department, who had a very good relationship with Shi Zhongkui, carefully stepped forward and whispered, "Tianzun, when I went to Chang'an City for a banquet the day before yesterday, I heard the Third Prince Nezha complaining about the incompetence of his sect's master, the Demon-Conquering Governor, at the banquet.
Study hard, but you must learn the Ten Jue Formations that I teach my disciples.
Now it seems that the Governor probably feels that he has lost face and does not have the patience to slowly discuss things with Lord Shitian."
After hearing this, Wen Zhong not only didn't get angry because Shi Zhongkui was thinking about Jie Jiao's formation, but instead showed a proud smile.
Who is Shi Zhongkui? He is a person valued by saints and even Taoist Hongjun.
Not to mention the unique skills of Chanjiao, the unique skills of Renjiao are also learned by those who want to learn them.
He also understood that he was no longer a powerful official in the human dynasty. Instead, Shi Zhongkui became the son-in-law of the human emperor. He had served as the 'True Protector of the Country' of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of authority, he was actually a disciple of the Jiejiao disciple. He needed to curry favor with Shi Zhongkui.
Kui.
If it were a year ago, Wen Zhong wouldn't be worried about how much of a threat Shi Zhongkui posed to him.
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he reacted suddenly.
Many Jie Jiao disciples probably had psychological shadows after becoming gods, and their interest and enthusiasm for the Tao of Formation disappeared in an instant.
Moreover, Wen Zhong was a former imperial master and knew the secrets and particularities of officialdom.
In terms of official position and authority, we are all second-grade immortal officials, so how can we have the qualifications and confidence to sit in the main hall and wait.
But even such a favored person actually cares about Jie Jiao's teachings.
However, Wen Zhong started to have a headache again.
Besides, with the precedent of conquering Shituoling, if Shi Zhongkui felt that he didn't have enough manpower, he might just go to the Jade Emperor directly. Not to mention one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, he could still find twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and generals.
Disciples of Jiejiao who had not done many things in the first place now find it even more difficult to make meritorious deeds.
Besides, in Wen Zhong's opinion, the Ten Jue Formation is indeed not an extraordinary formation.
Coupled with the manpower of the Governor's Mansion and the eight Taiyi Taiyi Golden Immortal Taiwei, it would be no problem to attack the Huaguo Mountain back then.
In terms of seniority, he and Shi Zhongkui are both third-generation disciples of Xuanmen.
Besides, the emperor is in charge of the troubles caused by the demons in the three realms, which can be regarded as a great relief for the shortage of manpower in our Lei Department. We have no time to thank the emperor, so how can we dare to turn the emperor away."
Not to mention that there are still a small number of people in the Lei Department who are not from Jiejiao.
An oversight or lack of etiquette can offend others.
Since he was being given face, Shi Zhongkui didn't mind taking the initiative to clasp his fists and salute, "Don't be offended if you come here without being invited."
Moreover, Jie Jiao lost everything because he put his treasure on the formation.
Shi Zhongkui laughed and secretly thought that it was no wonder that Wen Zhong and the gods of the Lei Department went out to welcome him.
Logically speaking, this is a perfect opportunity to shame Shi Zhongkui and even explain his teachings.
Shi Zhongkui laughed, pretending he didn't hear the hint in Wen Zhong's words.
Otherwise, given Shi Zhongkui's influence on the royal family and the powerful officials of the Tang Dynasty, there is a high probability that it would affect the incense offerings of Jiejiao disciples in the human world, and even stop them from offering incense for hundreds of years.
Shi Zhongkui understood as soon as he heard this that Wen Zhong was complaining about the Jade Emperor's decentralization of power, and that the Fu Mo Governor's Mansion had taken away the Lei Department's errands.
Just when Shi Zhongkui was getting impatient, he saw the central door of Shen Xiaolei Mansion opened wide, and Wen Zhong came out personally with dozens of divine generals and officials.
Not to mention that it was broken by Chan's teaching back then, but the need to set up a formation and attract people into the formation is not as good as other killing methods.
It will also affect the spread of Jiejiao in the human world, and things like incense offerings will naturally decrease.
Wen Zhong hurriedly stepped down from the throne and ordered people to summon the officials and subordinates of the Lei Department to go out to greet him.
And with fewer opportunities to make meritorious deeds, naturally there are fewer benefits.
So even if Shi Zhongkui's thoughts were not pure, Wen Zhong still felt that he had face.
But if you think about it carefully, it is really not worthwhile to make a second-grade emperor who has no hatred as your enemy for nothing.
It's just that with so many people welcoming him, there are some means of forcing Wen Zhong, which I can't say.
I also feel that this incident reflects from the side that Jie Jiao is not inferior to Chan Jiao at all.
What I'm afraid of is that the Governor's Office simply snatches away all the opportunities to conquer demons.
Even in the eyes of the Jiejiao disciples who were completely defeated in the Battle of the Gods, even if they were as powerful as the 'Ten Thousand Immortals Formation' and the 'Four Zhuxian Formations', hadn't they been broken?
There are not many of these people, but if they were asked to choose a side, they would definitely choose Shi Zhongkui, the nephew and son-in-law of the Jade Emperor.
Of course, Shi Zhongkui may also give up directly, but people who have reached a certain level of status will not give up just because they want to.
Wen Zhong only thought about it for a moment and ordered someone to invite Shi Zhongkui.
Wen Zhong stretched out his hand from afar and quickly stepped forward to hold Shi Zhongkui's arm, "What are you talking about, emperor? You and I are ministers in the same palace and we need to get closer to each other.
There are only so many opportunities to gain credit, so why should you leave it to others while ignoring that your own subordinates also have the desire to make contributions?
After all, at that time, there were only 1,200 soldiers in the Governor's Mansion, but now they have expanded to 6,000, which is enough to deal with the demons who dare to jump out and cause trouble in the entire Tang Dynasty.
In other words, during this visit, Shi Zhongkui would not give up until he achieved his goal, so as not to waste energy and time but not get the job done and be laughed at.
But Shi Zhongkui hadn't realized yet that he was already a being that most of the immortals and gods in heaven were unwilling to offend.
Therefore, even if Wen Zhong has opinions about Shi Zhongkui, he, the chief god of the Thunder Department, has to consider the thoughts of his subordinates.
As for Shi Zhongkui becoming anxious because of Nezha's reproachful words, Wen Zhong thought it was perfectly normal.
Otherwise, if people's hearts are broken, even his fellow disciples, uncles and uncles will have disagreements with him.
Shi Zhongkui held Wen Zhong's wrist with his backhand and said shamelessly, "Senior brother, what you said is obvious. Red flowers, lotus roots and green lotus leaves, the three religions are one family."
Since the Lei Department under the control of senior brother is too busy, it is time for me to help."
After hearing this, not only did Wen Zhong secretly scold Shi Zhongkui for being shameless, but the divine generals and officials of the Lei Department on the side were also stunned.
It is true that the three saints Taiqing, Yuqing and Shangqing are brothers, but as the nominal winner of the Battle of the Gods, Chanjiao cannot understand the pain and suffering of the losers.
Besides, if we are really as close as a family, then why did Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun unite with two saints from Western religions to beat their own brothers?
