Jiannan Road, Chengdu Prefecture.

"It's been ten years, but I didn't expect that I would have been separated for ten years. Chengdu Prefecture is much more prosperous than when I left ten years ago."

Looking at the crowd passing through the street downstairs, listening to the familiar shouts of vendors on the street, and smelling the fragrance of various delicacies in the air, Yuan Danqiu felt inexplicably comfortable.

"The country's fortunes have become more and more prosperous in recent years, and Chengdu Prefecture is the same every year."

Opposite Danqiusheng, a middle-aged man with mustache also looked at the window.

Then he stroked his beard and looked at Yuan Danqiu in front of him:

"Brother Danqiu only said he would go overseas for a trip that day, but he didn't expect that he would take ten years to leave. I guess he had another adventure overseas, right?"

"Songyang Zhenren laughed at him. There is no question of an adventure, but he will not return empty-handed. However, my little disciple has gained a lot this time."

Yuan Danqiu smiled and poured himself a glass of wine.

"Brother Danqiu's beloved disciple, I'm afraid my cultivation is about to be at the seventh level of Qi refining. I'm so talented that I can't find many people in the Tang Dynasty. I really envious."

Song Yang said with envy.

"Minister Songyang is too humble. In terms of the qualifications of disciples, how can I compare to your Qingyang Palace in Yuntai Pavilion? I saw your eldest disciple yesterday, and my cultivation level is only higher than that of my younger disciple."

Yuan Danqiu smiled sly.

"That stupid thing is almost twenty years old, and now he is only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. How can he compare to Brother Danqiu's beloved disciple?"

As soon as he mentioned this great disciple, Song Yang was not angry.

"But speaking of this, the fortune of the Tang Dynasty has indeed been much stronger in the past ten years. There are more than a hundred disciples in the major sects that I know of, and there are many successful foundation building. Many old monsters have made great progress over the years. It is rumored that there are two old monsters in Chang'an that have even broken through the Golden Pill stage. You must know that decades ago, there were only a handful of monks in the foundation building stage in the Tang Dynasty. If this continues, I think it is only a matter of time before the monks who have broken through the God Transformation Stage."

The Songyang Zhenren suddenly lowered his voice and continued.

"No wonder when I stepped into the Tang Dynasty, I felt that the spiritual energy of the world was much more abundant. It seems that this is not my illusion."

Yuan Danqiu was also much surprised when he heard this.

"I have discussed this with several senior brothers in the palace, and no one can tell me. Later, my junior brother Xuan Chenzi, who has been observing the celestial phenomena for decades, secretly told me that there were a few extra stars in the sky that could not be named. These stars became more dazzling in the past ten years. Perhaps they had changed the fortune of the Tang Dynasty."

Songyang Zhenren continued to whisper.

"Your junior brother is also a wonderful person."

Yuan Danqiu smiled and then continued:

"But no matter what, the Tang Dynasty's energy has turned back and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is abundant, which is a good thing for us monks. At least we don't have to search for overseas fairy palaces so anxiously."

"Yes, and since Xuanzong ascended the throne, we monks have been increasingly valued. We have exempted the Taoist temple from taxes and labor service, and have added the top candidates in various prefectures and counties to select and recruit people who practice martial arts and Taoism to enter the temple."

Song Yangzi nodded, but immediately frowned:

"But after the spiritual energy became abundant, there were more filthy things such as mountain spirits, ghosts, and other filthy things. A few years ago, my disciples in Qingyang Palace alone had to take on dozens of cases from the yamen every day, and many disciples were lost to this every year."

"Even such dirty things will appear in Chengdu Prefecture where there are abundant yang energy?"

Yuan Danqiu was a little surprised. He had traveled overseas for so many years and naturally encountered many monsters, but he did not expect that these monsters would appear in this prosperous place in the city.

"It mostly happens in remote places at night."

Song Yangzi nodded and then continued:

"In order to deal with these monsters, all prefectures and counties have now set up demon-slaying lists. Every day, cases that the yamen and sect cannot handle are placed on the demon-slaying list. Those who report the case pay part of the money and the government pay part of the money to solve the case. These cases will be divided into four levels of Tiandi Xuanhuang according to the difficulty. In addition to getting a bounty after solving the case, if you solve many cases and get a high bounty, you will leave your name on the demon-slaying list."

Speaking of this, Song Yangzi suddenly smiled bitterly:

"Originally, this was the helpless move of the government to solve this headache case, but who would have thought that the demon-slaying list has become a comparison of children of various sects in the Tang Dynasty. Even the number of disciples on the list has become a standard for measuring the strength of the sect. Are you not a joke?"

"You can't say that."

Yuan Danqiu found this list of demon-slaying, so he drank a glass of wine and continued:

"With this reward for the Demon-Slaying List, at least the cultivators of major sects and aristocratic families will no longer ignore the monsters. In this way, those monsters will not dare to show their faces easily, which is a great thing for the people."

"That's true. After the list of demon-slaying list came out, except for the Tianzi-level cases that no one took, the government rarely sent the cases specifically."

Song Yang Zhenren also took a breath and nodded, but he immediately frowned and said:

"But you don't know that for the sake of this demon-slaying list, these sect families were simply fighting for the heads. The disciples of Chang'an Xuandu Temple even came to the territory of my Chengdu Prefecture to grab the case for the ranking. For this reason, our palace master almost quarreled with Xuandu Temple Master to the Xuandu Temple Master."

"It seems that I have missed a lot of things in the past ten years."

Yuan Danqiu smiled heartily.

"When you come back this time, your Yuntai Pavilion will be on the list soon."

As Song Yang said, he raised his eyebrows at Yuan Danqiu and smiled sly:

"How about it, should we join forces with our Qingyang Palace to take on several cases of Tianzi?"

"I have to wait until I go back and settle down before I can reply to you."

Yuan Danqiu thought about it seriously.

"This is a big deal, I need to think about it."

Song Yang Zhenren nodded.

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask you something."

Yuan Danqiu suddenly remembered something, put down his wine glass with a serious look on his face and said:

"Have you ever accepted a disciple named Li Bai in the past few years?"

"puff……"

Hearing Yuan Danqiu's question, Song Yang Zhenren sprayed it out in one breath, then coughed violently for a few times before saying:

"Brother Danqiu, you gave the black iron order in Li Bai's hand!!!"

"I gave it to you, what, what's wrong?"

Yuan Danqiu suddenly became confused when he looked at Song Yangzi's appearance.

"Ahem, so good, so good, so good, so good..."

As Song Yang Zhenren tried hard to calm down her cough, she cried with joy:
Chapter completed!
