The Duke Cheng in front of him had a powerful aura, even more powerful than General Jin Kui, Fairy Qinghua and others whom he had met at the previous auction.
However, Cheng Yaojin did not have the superiority that those people had. He was easy-going and friendly in his speech, which made people like him very much.
"It is my wish to contribute to the Tang government and the people. How dare I ask for a reward?" Shen Luo said seriously.
"Well said. Although cultivators like us are detached from the mundane world, we are also citizens of the Tang Dynasty. It is our duty to be loyal to our country. It's a pity that there are too few people with such awareness in the current world of immortal cultivation!" Shen Luo's words really touched Cheng Yaojin's heart, and he immediately praised loudly.
Shen Luo and Lu Huaming quickly echoed.
"Boy Shen, the Tang Dynasty needs men like you who are enthusiastic about serving the country. Are you interested in joining the Tang Dynasty government? Join me in defending our country and protecting peace on earth?" Cheng Yaojin looked at Shen Luo, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him, and suddenly said.
Shen Luo was quite moved when he heard this.
He is alone now. Although he is free, he lacks guidance in his cultivation. Joining the Tang Dynasty government is a good choice.
It’s just that he is involved in too many things now, plus the issue of his lifespan needs to be resolved first.
"Master, Brother Shen has another master, so please don't force him." Lu Huaming said when he saw Shen Luo's hesitation.
"That's a pity, but if you change your mind in the future, Shen, the door of the Tang Dynasty government will always be open to you." Cheng Yaojin sighed regretfully, and then said.
"Thank you, Lord Cheng, for your kindness. I am grateful." Shen Luo was moved and thanked him.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Hua Ming, why did you and Little Friend Shen come to see me? Did something go wrong with the mission?" Cheng Yaojin sat down on the main seat and asked seriously.
"That's right, this mission in the underworld is very strange..." Lu Huaming straightened his expression and explained all the details of the mission in detail.
He actually didn't know much. Everything that happened before he arrived was told to him by Shen Luo.
"Oh, I didn't expect that the people from the Body Refining Altar would touch the seal of the Jinghe Dragon King. That's a big deal! I know that this Body Refining Altar has gathered a lot of down-and-out cultivators who act viciously and cruelly. Our Tang government and other righteous sects have launched several encirclement and suppression operations, but have not been able to completely eradicate them. I didn't expect that there are their people in the Treasure Hall. It seems that the power of the Body Refining Altar is even greater than we imagined." Cheng Yaojin's face became solemn and he said slowly.
"Master, what kind of ghost is the Jinghe Dragon King? Why is his ghost sealed in the underworld?" Lu Huaming asked.
Shen Luo was also very curious about this matter and looked at Cheng Yaojin.
"This matter involves a secret from the past. His Majesty Taizong is also involved. You don't need to know about it for the time being." Cheng Yaojin pondered for a moment and said so.
Shen Luo was shocked. He didn't expect that the ghost of the Jinghe Dragon King was actually related to Emperor Taizong. Although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask any more questions about it.
"Yes, Master, how should we deal with this matter next?" Lu Huaming nodded in agreement and asked.
"My dear Shen, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Cheng Yaojin pondered for a while and suddenly asked Shen Luo beside him.
