My weird life

Chapter 1426 Night Banquet

Ji Xingzhou no longer talked to Su Wu about ‘Wu Daoxuan’. He was very happy when he thought about how he had gained so many Ink Paintings and Heavenly True Meanings this time. He smiled and continued the previous topic, saying to Su Wu: “Since you intend to set up an organization to arrest evil spirits and ban evil spirits, who do you plan to appoint to run this organization?

Is it Tao Zu, or Brother Hong, or even Jianzhen?”

“None of them.” Su Wu said.

If Tao Zu and Hong Renkun were to preside over the ‘Suppressing Evil Bureau’ he was about to set up, then the future scene could be foreseen. In the Suppressing Evil Bureau, it must be Hong Renkun or Tao Zu who would cover the sky with one hand. When encountering a sneak incident, the bad people below would not be trained at all, and they might be easily solved by the two of them.

In the long run, it would completely deviate from Su Wu’s original intention of setting up the Suppressing Evil Bureau and leaving a foundation for suppressing the world’s evil spirits for the Tang Dynasty.

Jianzhen himself is more suitable for presiding over the Guiyu. With his temperament and current "habits", he is better at being quiet than moving, but he cannot preside over the Zhengui Bureau.

Ji Xingzhou was a little surprised when he heard this: "Who do you want to preside over the Zhengui Bureau?"

He vaguely thought of the women around Su Wu who were all good in their own ways.

At this time, Su Wu glanced at him and said: "This trip to Huashan has allowed me to find a disciple who was stranded outside.

I plan to use her to preside over the Zhengui Bureau."

The disciple found by Su Wu was 'Chu Xuan'.

Although Chu Xuan may have some connection with Xiang Er, she has finally cultivated the first level of the body. With her practice, it is completely enough to lead the bad people in the current Zhengui Bureau, but her level is not too much higher than those bad people. Many matters still require the cooperation of both parties to complete. In this way, it also plays a role in tempering the bad people and promoting the overall progress of the Zhengui Bureau.

"Okay." Ji Xingzhou nodded.

Su Wu had already made up his mind, so he naturally wouldn't say anything more about it.

He turned and said: "So, let's prepare the corresponding armor of the 'three gods' in the 'Eighty-Eight Immortals' Scroll, and then start to refine it?

If it can be refined, you can wear this armor..."

Before Ji Xingzhou finished speaking, he heard Su Wu shook his head and said: "The first set of 'three gods' armor refined can be used by the head of the Zhengui Bureau. After that, the many living armors forged will be given priority to the colleagues of the Zhengui Bureau who are working outside and suppressing sneaky ghosts.

After them, consider others."

"Aren't you also working outside now?

The many evils you face are not comparable to most people in the world." Ji Xingzhou said.

Su Wu didn't comment on this, but said: "After I understand the mysterious changes of Yishu and the true meaning of heaven and man, I will ask you to join hands with me to forge a set of living armor for myself."

"That's right, it should be so." Ji Xingzhou smiled and nodded in agreement.

The two agreed that Ji Xingzhou would prepare all kinds of materials and ores first, and they would work together to refine the "Xiwangmu Shengrenjia", one of the "three statues" in the first "Eighty-eight Immortals Scroll" tomorrow.

Su Wu then called his disciple "Chu Xuan" and summoned all the bad people. He announced the establishment of the "Suppressing Ghost Bureau" to ban evil spirits and suppress evil spirits. He also selected Zhang Fang, Wei Hong and many other bad people from the ten bad people to join the Suppressing Ghost Bureau. Chu Xuan temporarily took over the position of the head of the Suppressing Ghost Bureau and led more than a hundred bad people in the bureau.

Su Wu had also specified the first thing to do after the establishment of the Suppressing Ghost Bureau.

That is, to explore the area from "Jingshi Mountain" to "Luoshui" to find the so-called "immortal donkey" and "immortal mule" that have been rumored for a long time.

…

In the Tang Palace, there are colorful lights.

The sound of palace music floated out from the magnificent hall.

Wu Daozi knelt behind a low table, holding a wine cup in his hand, looking at the woman dancing the Huxuan dance in the hall with a dazed look. He had only drunk two or three cups of wine, but he was still drunk.

What made him intoxicated was not the wine given by the saint, but the fact that the saint invited him to a banquet.

At this night banquet, there was Song Jing, who was the Minister of Justice at the time. He was highly valued by the saint. There were rumors in the court and the country that the saint intended to let him replace Yao Chong to govern the temple.

There were also many wise men who gathered around the saint and were famous for their poetry, calligraphy and painting.

Now, whether it was Song Jing or these many wise men, they were actually just the foil of this night banquet - they were invited by Xuanzong to accompany Wu Daozi!

Wu Daozi was intoxicated. He put the wine cup to his lips, but did not drink the wine in the cup. With a dazed look, he looked at the well-dressed nobles and wise men behind the tables, competing to look at the scrolls one by one - the scrolls of eighty-eight immortals!

The praises of the wise men even overwhelmed the sound of the palace music here.

Wu Daozi put down the wine cup, his eyes passed through the skirts of the palace maids that spun into beautiful circles, and secretly glanced at the saint sitting in the main seat.

—— He did not expect that the saint also put down the paper scroll in his hand and cast a look at him.

The eyes of admiration and love made Wu Daozi's heart alert, and a warm current suddenly surged through his chest and filled his throat.

At this time, the saint spoke, and the already light sound of the palace music became even more subtle.

After the palace maids in the field saluted, they retreated gracefully.

The sage said: "This long scroll depicts eighty-seven gods, with exquisite brushwork and elegant spirit, just like a wild horse running freely in the sky.

Master Wu is indeed a great talent!"

As the sage exclaimed, the others all followed suit and were amazed.

"What a great talent!"

"The scenery in the painting is so lifelike that it makes you feel as if you are actually there!"

"There is a true meaning in this, but I have forgotten to tell it..."

After hearing the praises of the saint and all the sages, Wu Daozi looked ashamed and shook his head repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I can't afford the reputation of a saint, I can't afford the praise of you all..."

Although he said this, the slightly raised corners of his mouth still revealed his true thoughts.

And his humble words naturally attracted more praise.

After admiring several times, the saint looked down at the scroll in his hand - the Eighty-eight Immortals scroll was originally made on several rice paper pieces that were joined together. The mounting was not completed yet, so it could naturally be divided into several parts for the ministers. Appreciate and worship in front of Emperor Xuanzong, this one is a main picture depicting the 'Queen Mother of the West' and 'Tai Shang Laojun'.

No matter how much people praise it, it cannot be overstated for this painting.

Their praise actually fits this painting.

The true meaning in the painting made Xuanzong feel as if he was in a fairyland and seeing the gods.

He even knew that this painting was extraordinary, and he thought of all the information reported by the craftsmen and monks who had left the Divine Works Bureau, and he felt complacent for a moment.
