Celestial Immortal

Chapter 167 The magical effect of the art of hope
"I don't care if I've seen Deputy Han!"

In the spacious and elegant study room, Chu Chen bowed respectfully and saluted.

He didn't care about calling Liuxu flattering horses.

In Dachang's world of cultivating immortals, the higher the level, the more particular about names.

In formal occasions, you have to call it whatever you want.

Deputy Duguan, you can only call him Deputy Duguan, and if you call him Duguan, it will be a joke and make people unhappy.

"Sit down, fellows, you don't need to be polite."

Han Chen seems to be around thirty, but in fact his lifespan is over half a hundred. He is handsome, mature and stable, with a gentle smile on his face.

Practitioners are all fellow-daoists, and they can all be called "dao friends".

People are social creatures living in groups, and class distinctions are unavoidable.

No matter it is the secular world, the world of practice, or the upper world, it is the same. Classes always exist.

Han Chen's phrase "a man of the same path" was quite useful to Chu Chen.

It seems that this Deputy Han is also a man of temperament.

Chu Chen was not polite, and found a seat in the side hall of the study to sit down.

Han Chen slowly walked out from the side hall, sat in the upper seat of Chu Chen, and casually asked about Chu Chen's appointment to the Yellow Court, acting like a leader caring about his subordinates.

"Chu Chen, my understanding of the word Tao was good that day, and it coincides with mine."

"Thank you, Deputy Han, for taking care of me. The junior's nonsense made the senior laugh."

"Don't belittle yourself, just accumulate merits, you have a bright future."

Han Chen didn't have anything to say when he called Chu Chen, it was just that the leader cared about his subordinates.

After some pleasantries, Chu Chen left.

"Another good seedling with good luck."

Watching Chu Chen leave, a faint smile appeared on Han Chen's face.

He is good at qi technique, it is too easy for him to be in charge of the whole place.

After a period of time, he selects a group of subordinates with high luck, without much effort. After a year and a half, his contribution is inexplicably higher than that of his colleagues at the same level, and he has tried repeatedly.

Chu Chen returned to Class A of the Yellow Court, and received the identity badge of Class B Deputy Class Leader.

At this point, he officially joined the Ghost and God Division of Guangping County.

There is a big difference between the county ghosts and gods department and the county ghosts and gods department.

The County Department of Ghosts and Gods is only in charge of a small county, and there are few opportunities to show their strengths. Most of the time, they are "exorcism and disaster relief", "salvation of dead souls", "ghosts disturbing people", "night watch patrols" and other trivial tasks, which are exhausting.

For ordinary people, a county is very large and boundless.

Many villagers have never left their hometown for more than [-] miles, and many of them have never been to the county seat.

But for monsters, a county is too small, so they escaped in a short while using escapism.

Serious and important cases occurred in many counties, and it was often not the county ghosts and gods department, but the county ghosts and gods department or even the state ghosts and gods department that finally understood the case.

This was the case for several major cases that I had contacted in Xin'an County before.

Therefore, the biggest difference between the county ghosts and gods department and the county ghosts and gods department is that the errands of the county ghosts and gods department are mostly "capturing important criminals" and "slaying demons and demons", and fighting with demons and gods from time to time.

It is more dangerous than being in the county ghost department.

Correspondingly, it is also easier for the county ghost and god department to accumulate merits and get promoted faster.

Even, there are plenty of opportunities to earn extra money.

Under normal circumstances, the monsters who committed the crime would flee to the deep mountains and the Daze.

For example, the Longling Mountains, which straddles several counties in Qingzhou, harbor a large number of crime monsters.

Every day, the ghost and god departments of the counties will send their subordinate officials into the mountains to arrest demons and gods.

In the process, the immortal officials can earn extra money by hunting treasures in the mountains.

This is also the reason why the Taoist Academy encourages its disciples to go to the mountains to practice. All immortal officials must have some talent, which is indispensable.

However, when Chu Chen, Wang Ping, Xiucai and others first entered the County Ghost and God Division Huang No. Errands around town.

The small towns and villages around the county town are all directly under the county town. Every day, people will report to the department of ghosts and gods about the ghosts and gods.

For the reported cases, the Department of Ghosts and Gods will handle all cases, promptly dispatching inspectors and officials from the Department of Ghosts and Gods to investigate, which belongs to the daily tasks of the Department of Ghosts and Gods.

Most of the time, the cases reported by the common people are trivial matters, and some are simply neighborhood disputes.

The immortal officials who arranged the "inspection" errands traveled around every day, coming and going, which was quite hard work.

Chu Chen and Xiucai are very familiar with the "inspection" errand.

In the Department of Ghosts and Gods in Xin'an County, they often receive similar errands, and they are familiar with them.

The three of them each received an errand.

Everyone has different errands, so they don't work together.

The errand that Chu Chen received was thirty miles away from the county town.

There is a small town called Sapphire Town, named after a kind of blue jade that is abundant in the area.

Now the town is located at the throat leading to Guangping County, and there is an endless stream of business travelers, which is quite lively.

The person who reported the case was a jade merchant in the town, surnamed Tao, who was a well-known big jade merchant in Lanyu Town.

According to him, ghosts and gods are suspected to be haunting the town, so he specifically asked the Department of Ghosts and Gods to send someone to investigate.

Chu Chen arrived in the town not long after riding the ink treasure spirit horse presented by the scholar.

Randomly found a street vendor to ask for directions.

Soon, he came to the Tao's mansion.

"Little Taoist priest, my master has reported to the Department of Ghosts and Gods, and the reward notice is invalid, so you don't need to come."

The concierge of the Tao Mansion waved his hand impatiently at Chu Chen and sent him away.

Chu Chen frowned slightly.

Reward announcement?

In other words, the case did not happen just now, but happened a long time ago.

The Tao Mansion didn't report to the ghost and god department immediately, and asked the monks to take action?
"I am the official of the County Ghosts and Gods Department, and let you Master Tao Mansion come out to meet me."

Chu Chen didn't say much with the porter, and ordered the porter to do things in an orderly tone.

When the concierge heard that it was someone from the Department of Ghosts and Gods, the indifference on his face disappeared, and he nodded and bowed quickly to invite Chu Chen in.

"My immortal master, you are finally here."

The businessman surnamed Tao was a slightly overweight middle-aged man with a look of shock on his face.

When I saw Chu Chen, it was like seeing a savior.

Chu Chen didn't chat with the other party, and went straight to the point, asking about the case of demons and gods.

"Long story short, what happened in your house?"

"Master Immortal, there are demons haunting my house!" The merchant surnamed Tao said with a look of horror on his face:
"A few days ago, ghost cries could be heard from time to time in my mansion. It was extremely frightening, disturbing the whole mansion's peace."

"At first, I didn't care about it. Who would have imagined that my guard martial artist was attacked by it for no reason and was seriously injured."

"I had a hunch that the demon must be coming for me, so I hired an expert to exorcise the demon for my family. Whoever imagined it, those people are all bluffing liars, and they will all be scared before they meet the demon. Ran."

"and many more!"

Chu Chen roughly interrupted the other party's words, his gaze was as sharp as a falcon, and he scolded in a deep voice:

"There are demons and ghosts in the mansion, why don't you report it to the Department of Ghosts and Gods?"
