The "Immortals" who came across the sea were taken to the Wubao County Imperial Palace, while the "Xuanwu" was placed at the entrance of the imperial city, and were taken care of by the Imperial Guards to prevent the people from approaching.

When he entered the palace, Ma Jian invited the "Immortals" to sit down. The civil and military ministers were also very respectful to him. After all, he saw this man crossing the sea with his own eyes on the divine beast Xuanwu.

After taking the seat, Ma Jian asked, "I don't know where the immortal comes from and what are the names?"

"I practiced on Lingdao outside the territory and was with Xuanwu since I was a child." The man replied, "The surname is Xin and his name is Tieshan."

"Xin Tieshan?" Everyone recited it silently several times, remembering this name.

Feng Qiao next to him thought for a while and asked curiously: "Where is the spiritual island outside the territory? I am sorry that I am not knowledgeable, and I have never heard of it."

Xin Tieshan turned his head and looked at Feng Qiao, smiling: "The spiritual island outside the domain is a place for cultivating immortals, located at the top of the deep sea, and it is difficult for mortals to get close to!"

"Oh~ Since mortals are hard to get close to, how do you know that Liang State recruits strange people and national commanders?" Feng Qiao's questions were very tricky. Obviously, he was also somewhat suspicious of the identity of this "immortal".

Xin Tieshan still smiled: "Is this person..."

"He is my military advisor and the person I trust the most!" Ma Jian hurriedly said, "The military advisor likes to ask questions in a nutshell, and I hope the immortals don't care."

"Oh~" Xin Tieshan nodded and smiled, "It's okay! Although I rarely leave the spiritual island outside the territory, there are often people who practice Taoism around me who enter the world to experience it, and I have heard of the world's affairs. Someone had returned from Liang State and brought back news. It was said that a transboundary cultivator from Jinzhou had come out of Jinzhou, and with his own cultivation, he endangered the world with magic. His name is Ning... What's Ning?"

"Ningze!" Ma Jian's eyes lit up and he immediately replied, "This person has won many battles since his debut. He originally thought that he was smart and had excellent martial arts. Later, he found out that he was proficient in magic. Recently, he found out that this person had subdued Shui Bo and two other monsters, which was a big problem in the world! Not only Liang Kingdom, but I, Nan Cheng, are also recruiting talented people to deal with this person!"

"Ningze? Well~ It seems to be this name." Xin Tieshan said with a caress of the wise, "Those who practice Taoism like us should not easily intervene in the disputes of ordinary people, nor should they be affected by power. I am unwilling to go out of the mountains and into the world, but I can't stand such people who deceive people according to the law! So I brought Xuanwu across the sea and wanted to go to Liang Kingdom. It was not that I was greedy for the position of the national master, but that I just wanted to expose this person's face in front of the world and eliminate this harm to the world!"

Ma Jian was very happy: "Does the immortal have a chance of winning?"

"Your Majesty is underestimating?" Xin Tieshan said, "I have been practicing Taoism for more than 500 years and have been through several dynasties. Isn't it easy to capture Ning Ze? He has Shui Bo and other monsters, so it is not worth mentioning in front of Xuanwu!"

"Since you have magical powers, you might as well demonstrate it and ask me to open my eyes to the mortals!" Feng Qiao said.

Xin Tieshan closed his eyes and stroked his beards, shook his head slightly: "The practitioners who practiced have no intention of showing off, and the magic they practice is not a trick! If you see Ning Ze, you will naturally cast the magic and take it down. If you want to see the trick, you can go to the street to find someone!"

"What I want to see below is not a trick, but a real spell!" Feng Qiao said, "Even if you are an immortal, you can prove it any small spell."

When Xin Tieshan heard this, his smile gradually disappeared. He stood up and bowed to Ma Jian and said, "I am invited by His Majesty to come to the city to talk. Now that I am suspected, it is better to leave!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Jian was anxious and hurriedly got up and grabbed Xin Tieshan: "Immortal, don't be angry, the military advisor has no malice! The immortal came across the sea by Xuanwu. He is a true immortal, so why should he verify it?"

As he said that, he turned to rush towards Feng Qiao: "The military advisor is suspicious, that Xuanwu is not fake!"

Feng Qiao thought about it and turned around and saw that all the civil and military officials looked at him with the same gaze. Obviously, they all believed that Xin Tieshan was an immortal.

In fact, Feng Qiao himself was also very confused. When he saw "Xuanwu" with his own eyes, he believed it. He asked a few questions just because he felt something was wrong. Faced with such a situation, he couldn't help but bow and said, "I'm suspicious, please forgive me!"

"Immortal," Ma Jian pulled Xin Tieshan tightly, "Why should I mind if the military advisor is unintentional? I immediately inform the whole country that I will be appointed as the national teacher, with the first rank of official position, with the same salary as the prime minister, and set up a national teacher's mansion in the city, granting 10,000 gold, rewarding 1,000 acres of fertile land, and a thousand servants!"

Xin Tieshan replied with a smile: "People who practice Taoism do not defile their power, do not occupy gold and silver, and are willing to stay here, just to take down Ningze one day and cut off those who cross the line."

"That's the position of the national teacher..." Ma Jian asked with concern when he heard him say this.

Xin Tieshan closed his eyes and looked at his beard: "Before taking Ningze, I will accept it barely, and once it is successful, you can leave."

"Since that's the case, when will you take action?" Feng Qiao asked.

Xin Tieshan slowly opened his eyes and looked at him and said, "I also want to go to Jinzhou immediately and take Ningze. However, when I crossed the sea, I met Qinglong blocking the road. I fought for more than a thousand rounds, and my vitality was severely damaged. Although I barely drove away Qinglong with the spell, I could not activate the magic in a short time and I had to rest. During the period of Xuanwu's rest, instead of taking the initiative to attack, it would be better to wait for Ningze to come to me. At that time, no matter whether Xuanwu recovered his vitality, I would hold him, and Your Majesty would rest assured!"

"Xuanwu hurts his vitality? I'm sorry, I don't see any clues." Feng Qiao said in confusion.

Xin Tieshan responded calmly: "A mundane person is naturally unable to notice it. In short, Ning Ze dares to come, and he can take it down if he is below!"

"Great!" Ma Jian fully trusted him. After all, "Xuanwu" cannot be faked, so he said, "I will draft an edict immediately. From today on, you will be my great-achieving national teacher. People should respect him! I will grant Xuanwu a divine beast to protect the country and be admired by all people in the world!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xin Tieshan smiled and nodded.

Xuanwu appeared in Nancheng and appointed Xin Tieshan, who appeared at the same time with Xuanwu, as the national teacher. The news quickly spread to various major forces.

Ning Ze was a little surprised and thought to himself that there are really immortals in this world? Is there really Xuanwu in the world?

In order to find out the situation, the telegram contacted secret intelligence personnel in Nancheng to find out whether the "national teacher" Xin Tieshan has real materials and whether Xuanwu is real!

Not only Huaguo, but also Tang Niu's Zhou, Lu Jing, and Lu Wei's Liang all sent people to inquire about it, wanting to figure out this matter.

Especially Lu Jing's side, the queen was quite angry.

After all, Xin Tieshan was intercepted by Ma Jian on the way to Liangguo. Regardless of whether the person was true or not, Ma Jian's behavior was very unauthorized.

If an immortal is really intercepted by the other party, even the divine beast Xuanwu, it is quite unacceptable.

If Sima Fa hadn't persuaded her, it would have been possible that she would have sent troops to settle the score with Ma Jian.

Sima Fa advised the queen to secretly send someone to inquire about the matter and not to alert the snake. At the same time, she asked her to hold back and send an envoy to Nancheng to carry out the tasks decided before, unite with Nancheng, and Zhou State to find "monsters" in various countries, attracting Ning Ze.

Hesitating about the occurrence of this incident, Sima Fa has another plan. If it is confirmed that Xin Tieshan and Xuanwu are true, he will design to trick Ning Ze to Nancheng and Xin Tieshan will deal with him!

No matter what, Ning Ze is their biggest stumbling block and the most difficult enemy to deal with, and must be solved first.

Tang Niu and Ma Jian both received the proposal from Lu Jing's forces and happily accepted it.

As for the Lu Wei power, there was no news about this. On the one hand, the other party and Lu Jing power were incompatible, and they all had to compete for the entire Liang State; on the other hand, Sima Fa considered that among the officials who defected to Mrs. Tian, ​​there might be people who were bribed by Ning Ze's subordinates. Even if it was a conspiracy, some key information could not be disclosed. In order to compete for the entire Liang State, Mrs. Tian could do anything.

All forces have actions and have different thoughts.

They also need to rest and recuperate and spend another cold winter.

Except for occasional small-scale conflicts at borders of various parties, there are basically no major problems.

Xin Tieshan stayed in Nancheng and became the national magistrate. Ma Jian hoped to keep him. After all, this person said that he would leave after taking Ning Ze. So he tried his best to spend money to build a luxurious national magistrate's mansion, and also gave equal treatment to the prime minister as promised. He was under one person and above ten thousand people. He also gave enough gold, fertile land, and servants. He even pulled the national magistrate everywhere, and even fell asleep together to show his sincerity.

The civil and military officials in Nancheng also flattered Xin Tieshan and respected him very much.

Only Feng Qiao, Ye Zhao and a few others remained normal, occasionally went to see "Xuanwu" and discussed in private whether the national guru was really that powerful.

After Nancheng left Xin Tieshan, the morale and public opinion of the domestic army increased a lot.

Originally, the domestic military and civilians were particularly worried about Ning Ze's existence and China's strength. Now there is finally a national teacher who can compete with him or even surpass the other party. What else can I worry about?

After all, this national master brought Xuanwu, one of the four great beasts, and many people saw it with their own eyes.

A low-level little god like Shui Bo is nothing in front of Xuanwu. I am afraid that if Xuanwu roars, Shui Bo will kneel down.

It is said that the national master who can control Xuanwu has more than 500 years of cultivation, and in any aspect, it is better than Ning Ze.

The domestic military and civilians all want to see Xuanwu with their own eyes and their national teacher.

It’s just that Ma Jian has done all defensive measures to prevent the people from approaching Xin Tieshan and "Xuanwu", not only blocking the detailed work sent by various forces, but also difficult for the military and civilians of our own side to get close to it. Only the highest-level officials and generals have the opportunity to see it.

The military and civilians in Nancheng are easy to talk to. They just regret not seeing each other and go back. What should they do!

The works from different forces are doing their best to inquire about the information and searching for information about Xin Tieshan and Xuanwu to confirm the truth.

Relatively speaking, the underground intelligence personnel hidden in Nancheng in China are more mature in technology. Although the opportunity to observe closely is equal to zero, Xuanwu's resting place is quite simple when he finds out the range of Xin Tieshan's activity. Then, based on this information, he monitors records from a hidden place through a telescope, which is a bit of gain.

After a period of secret surveillance, at least one conclusion has been drawn. Not to mention whether Xin Tieshan and Xuanwu are true or false, at least they have not found their ability to be monitored. At the same time, Xin Tieshan on the surface rejected the power, status and money given by Ma Jian, which is actually quite enjoyable. Xuanwu is also somewhat different from the mythological records. Whether the mythological story is recorded incorrectly or the problem with this "Xuanwu" needs to be observed...
