"Brother, I am not a short-sighted person, how could I possibly engage in corruption?"

Chen Pengju didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing his brother's words.

"Ahem~ Little brother, your outfit is not simple."

Chu Chen knew his younger brother's character quite well, and believed that Pengju would not do anything stupid like taking bribes or taking money from the people.

However, the treasures worn by his younger brother Pengju still made him couldn't help but think about it.

The brocade clothes on the body, the jade on the waist, the sachet, and even the shoes on the feet are not ordinary things. They are all treasures made of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Among them, the jade and the sachet are top-notch magic weapons and are worth a lot of money.

Top-grade magic weapons can generally only be used by monks with fifth-grade Taoist cultivation. Any one of them costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of jade coins, which is simply beyond the reach of ordinary sixth-grade officials.

The Chen Family Association supports Pengju, but the intensity is obviously not that great, and it simply cannot afford it.

Pengju doesn't know how to make money by making alchemy or painting, and he doesn't have much property to his name.

Suddenly, such an outfit appeared in front of him, how could he not think more about it.

When Chen Pengju saw his brother looking at him, he thought that his brother was a monk with great supernatural powers and had sharp eyesight. A look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face, and he immediately explained:

"Brother, some of them are rewards from the imperial court, and some are gifts from my mentors. I have read enough books about sages and sages, so how can I follow the wrong path?"

"That's good."

Chu Chen nodded slightly, smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder:

"Little brother, you have grown taller."

"Brother, we haven't seen each other for several years."

The two brothers chatted and laughed, flying in the clouds and mist, and rushed towards the imperial capital.

Having not seen each other for many years, the two brothers felt a little strange at first, but after exchanging pleasantries they quickly became warm and chatted about everything.

Chen Pengju was very interested in the customs and customs of Guanwaizhou County and kept asking about them. Of course, he also cared about how his brother Chu Chen and his eldest sister Chen Wan were living in Guanwaizhou County from time to time.

Chu Chen learned during the conversation that the teacher who took good care of his younger brother Pengju was named Tang Boqing.

Chu Chen didn't really understand who Tang Boqing was at first, but he had the [Jiuyou Elder Order] in his hand and was distracted to inquire about the Tang family and his younger brother Peng Ju. It was just a trivial matter.

After some inquiring, Chu Chen suddenly realized the origin of the other party.

Tang Boqing was a great Confucian of the time and one of the leaders in the literary world. His Confucianism, Taoism and magical powers were astonishing. He was currently the shepherd of Yuzhou, the third rank of the current dynasty, and a feudal official with real power. He had a prominent position.

At the time of the examination, Tang Boqing was still serving as a minister in the Ministry of War of the capital. He admired his younger brother Pengju and accepted him as his disciple.

Three years ago, when Tang Boqing took office as the pastor of Yuzhou, he took his younger brother Pengju, who was studying in the Hanlin Academy, to the local area for training.

"Little brother, you are quite lucky."

Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh.

Taoism emphasizes the inheritance of Taoism from master to disciple, and Confucianism is no exception and emphasizes academic lineage.

There are many teachers in Confucianism, including disciples, practitioners, and masters. However, a true master and disciple is one who joins a certain school and inherits the true teachings of the other school. That is the real "mentor".

This Tang Boqing was one of the leaders of the "White Deer School" of the Xian Dynasty.

My younger brother Pengju became a disciple of Tang Boqing. It was a great blessing and his future was boundless.

Previously, Chu Chen was worried that the Qingyang Marquis Mansion would not succeed in retaliating against him and would cause trouble for Pengju, but now that he learned that his younger brother had joined Tang Boqing's sect and was highly appreciated by Tang Daru, he no longer had any worries in his heart.

"Hahaha~ Brother, you are the real great creation. You are a monk with great supernatural powers. Like your mentor, you are among the top leaders of the Celestial Court."

Chen Pengju's face was full of emotion.

He was not surprised that his brother became a monk with great supernatural powers, but he never expected that his brother would break through so early.

"Brother, half a year ago I told my husband the good news that you had become a monk with great supernatural powers. He was shocked. He said three times that he was afraid of future generations, and said that if there is a chance in the future, he must meet you."

Tang Boqing, as the shepherd of Yuzhou and the guardian of one side, was not allowed to enter the court without an edict. This time, Chen Pengju returned to the imperial capital alone.

Chu Chen smiled, feeling quite proud in his heart, but now there was a teasing smile on his lips:

"There will definitely be opportunities in the future. After all, we are a family and we have to meet each other no matter what."

Chen Pengju couldn't help but feel guilty when he saw his brother's expression was strange, and said:

"Brother, why do you speak strangely?"

Chu Chen's eyes fell on the brocade bag on his younger brother's waist:

"You have a good bag of tricks, a good female worker, and the Tang family's daughter is really skillful in her craftsmanship."

"Ahem~"

Chen Pengju was shocked: "Brother, how do you know this is a gift from your junior sister?"

"Brother, I am a monk with great supernatural powers. I can tell with just a few fingers. My younger brother, are my younger siblings called Tang Youwei?"

"Brothers and sisters?"

A three-inch radish that had just woken up from sleep listened to Chu Chen's words and glanced at the familiar Chen Pengju again, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"thump!"

"Dong dong dong~"

"Pengju Pengju, I wish you a happy wedding and a son soon."

Chen Pengju: "."

——

Compared with the cities of prefectures and counties, the imperial capital, as the capital of the Dachang Dynasty, apart from its large scale and densely populated population, its biggest feature is that it has no city walls. It extends in all directions, embraces all directions, and has the potential to swallow up mountains and rivers.

A few years ago, Chu Chen came to the Taoist temple hundreds of miles away from the imperial capital to practice cultivation, and he visited the imperial capital once or twice in a hurry.

At that time, he didn't feel anything.

After all, he has seen large cities with a population of tens of millions, so he won't be surprised.

However, after reaching the realm of great supernatural powers, the feeling of arriving in the imperial capital was different.

This is a place where the luck of the day gathers and hundreds of millions of people depend on it.

The rise and fall of a place indirectly affects the general trend of the world.

Arriving at the imperial capital again, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel insignificant.

"Hey, I don't know if we can get through this disaster smoothly this time."

Chu Chen murmured to himself.

Chen Pengju on the side was quite surprised: "Brother, what kind of disaster is it? But the Qingyang Marquis Mansion has come to trouble you again. Do you want me?"

"It's not Qingyang Houfu."

Chu Chen did not hide it from his younger brother, and told him about the blood cloud disaster.

"This happened."

After Chen Pengju pondered for a while, he said: "Brother, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Immortal Court. There are countless seniors who have advanced cultivation, and there are many people who are close to immortals. I think they have magical powers to deal with mere disasters."

"I hope so!"

While the two brothers were talking, not long after, they arrived at a spacious second-entry courtyard in the west of the city.

This was exactly where his younger brother Pengju stayed in the capital. For a while, Chu Chen stayed in this small courtyard to rest.

Although Tang Boqing was guarding Yuzhou, the Tang mansion was in the imperial capital.

Chu Chen did not lose his etiquette. The next day, he brought enough treasures from heaven and earth and various Yunzhou specialties to visit him personally.

On the one hand, he is grateful to the Tang family for taking good care of his younger brother Pengju over the years. On the other hand, he is also supporting his younger brother Pengju, letting outsiders know that his Chen family is not a poor settlement. There are monks with great supernatural powers sitting in charge, and his family is considered wealthy.

Well-off.

The Tang family treated guests very warmly, and after a few days of walking around, the relationship between the two families became closer.

During this process, Chu Chen also took a look at Tang Youwei. She was indeed a pretty and gentle lady, and she was a perfect match for her younger brother Peng Ju. He was very satisfied.

What makes Chu Chen most gratified is that his younger brother Pengju is very happy because of his visit to the Tang Mansion these days, and he feels vaguely elated.

This does not mean that my younger brother Pengju was wronged in the Tang family.

Tang Boqing not only taught him all his knowledge, but also intended to marry his daughter to his younger brother. Naturally, he regarded her as his own, but the Tang family had a big business, so it was inevitable that people would gossip.

However, with the arrival of Chu Chen, a monk with great supernatural powers, the gossip in the Tang Mansion disappeared without a trace overnight.

The younger brother Pengju was born as a Tanhualang in Sandingjia. His family had an elder brother who was a monk with great supernatural powers. Whether it was his family background or his own talents, he was worthy of being the crown jewel of the Tang family.

Things in the world are never easy.

The happy event for my younger brother Pengju is going smoothly, but the demonic disaster in Zhongzhou is not going so smoothly.

Three days have passed since the "Blood Rain Case" was reported. Master Yulou immediately reported the case to Emperor Lingwei, Mr. Mingjing, and the Celestial Court of Heaven also paid great attention to it. Experts from all parties came to the battle.

On the one hand, we trace the source of the disaster and exterminate the evil master in the dark; on the other hand, we recruit Taoist masters who are proficient in medical skills to treat the people affected by the blood rain. This is a two-pronged approach.

It has to be said that Celestial Immortal Court's immediate measures were very timely, but unfortunately no significant progress was made in either aspect.

Not only did they not find the evil master behind the scenes, but the Taoist doctors, witch doctors and other senior experts who were proficient in medicine were also unable to dispel the "power of blood mist" in the people's bodies, and suffered setbacks one after another.
