Celestial Immortal

Chapter 282 Sleeping Beauty【Seeking Subscription Monthly Pass】

The family threatened by the magic way is in Qinghua Lane in the east of the city. Their surname is Zhao, and they belong to a small family in Guangping County.

The situation is similar to that of Chu Chen's family.

Zhao's family is also a scholarly family, a family of farming and studying.

In the early years, Zhao's family had a Jinshi, who lived in the fourth rank, and was prominent for a while, but then gradually declined.

Not to mention Jinshi, the descendants of the Zhao family didn't even pass the exams, far inferior to the Chen family.

Not to mention the rest of the Chen family, but Chen's father, Chen Jia, already had a reputation for raising others, and if he wanted to, he could be an official in waiting.

The Zhao family did not develop smoothly in Confucianism, so they turned around and devoted themselves to Taoism, cultivating the younger generation of the family to practice Taoism.

Confucianism on the left and Taoism on the right.

Bet on both ends, shoulder to shoulder development, thriving ass.

The Zhao family has an ancestor, Fu Ze, who has connections in the Confucian school, and has a family inheritance, but they have not made it to the top. If they rashly join the Taoist school, how can they have a good development without the opportunity.

Insufficient capital and betting on both sides, diversifying resources, the result is that neither side has made much progress, and development has been frustrated everywhere.

Compared with Confucianism, Taoism has higher requirements for talents.

After all, the Confucian school can rely on the imperial examination to condense the Confucianism and Taoist literary heart, and lay the foundation of practice step by step, while the Taoist school looks at innate aptitude.

The Zhao family did not produce a genius for cultivating Taoism.

Some disciples do have talents in Taoism, but they are not outstanding. They joined the Taoist sect, did not encounter any opportunities, and did not have much achievement. They are just ordinary Taoist disciples.

Not to mention feeding back to the Zhao family, each and every one of them was a cub waiting to be fed, asking for cultivation resources from the family one after another.

This made the Zhao family even worse.

Over the past few decades, the Zhao family has gradually declined, becoming an inconspicuous small family in Guangping County.

Only a house in Qinghua Lane in the east of Guangping County and the ancestral house and land in Zhaojiazhuang on the eastern outskirts of the county are left in the family business.

This time, the Zhao family unintentionally offended the monks of the Demon League, and the Zhao family village on the outskirts of the city did not dare to stay any longer, and fled back to Guangping County to seek refuge.

After hiding in Guangping County, the demons of the Momeng did not dare to make trouble in the county, and the Zhao family was safe for the time being.

However, here comes the problem.

It is not a problem to hide in the city for a day or two, and it is not a problem to hide in the city for ten days and a half month, but there is no way to hide in the city for a lifetime without going out.

The family surnamed Zhao in Zhaojiazhuang is from the same clan as the Zhao family in Guangping, and they are relatives with broken bones and tendons.

The family property of Zhaojiazhuang in the eastern suburbs of the county city is the foundation and lifeblood of the Zhao family in Guangping.

There are not only a large amount of ordinary land in the village, but also three pieces of spiritual land.

These three spiritual fields are the foundation of the Zhao family, and it is impossible to give up on them.

As a result, the Zhao family who fled back to the county immediately reported to the ghost and god department, asking the ghost and god department to take action to wipe out the evil spirits, cut out the devil's claws, and return the Zhao family to peace.

The Zhao family's request is reasonable, and this is indeed the responsibility of the county ghost and god department.

Chu Chen, Xuan Lingzi, and Wang Ping took over the errand, and after carefully checking the situation of the Zhao family, they left the county ghost and god department and came to the Zhao residence in Qinghua Lane in the east of the city.

When they heard that they were from the Department of Ghosts and Gods, and five county councilors came all at once, the Zhao family was flattered and welcomed the five people in politely.

The Patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Xing, personally received the five of them.

The two sides greeted each other and reported their homes to each other.

When facing Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping, Qian Sangua, and Yuantong, Patriarch Zhao was very normal, full of enthusiasm and flattery.

However, after Chu Chen reported his name, Patriarch Zhao had a strange look on his face, and he stole glances at Chu Chen many times.

He possesses supernatural powers, sees all directions with his eyes, and observes the subtleties. Patriarch Zhao's anomalies naturally fall under his nose.

So he asked tentatively.

"Patriarch Zhao, do you know me?"

The Patriarch of the Zhao family heard the words, looked Chu Chen up and down, and the more he looked, the more he felt like him, so he asked instead:
"Master Daoist, is your secular family the Chen family in Guangping?"

Chu Chen was not surprised either, and nodded:

"good."

"So you are the eldest son of Mr. Jia? Erlang Chen?"

Patriarch Zhao was overjoyed:
"Erlang, I'm your uncle from the Zhao family. I have never had a bad relationship with your father. I even hugged you when you were young!"

Chu Chen didn't doubt it when he heard it.

They are both in Guangping County and from a scholarly family, so it is not surprising that the other party has friendship with the Chen family.

In the first 20 years, he was in a daze, and he didn't know others, but others might recognize him.

Guangping County said it was not a big deal. It is normal for news of his enlightenment to spread in certain circles in the city.

Chu Chen really had no impression of the Patriarch Zhao, but he did not lose his manners.

"This junior has seen Uncle Zhao!"

"Hey~ Erlang, you are really promising. I just heard that you have returned home a while ago. You have joined the Taoist sect and worked as an servant in the Department of Ghosts and Gods. I never thought that you would be promoted to the county governor's counselor in a blink of an eye. That's amazing. It's amazing."

Patriarch Zhao seemed quite excited.

He only has the fame of a scholar, and his Taoism and practice can barely reach the eighth rank, but he has a lot of knowledge, and he knows very well what it means to be a "counselor of the county governor".

The Chen family Erlang in front of me, if there is no accident, it will not take long for him to be released to a county as the governor of ghosts and gods.

Some people read the history books and always feel that the seventh-rank official is very small, and the impression of the seventh-rank sesame official is deeply ingrained.

In fact, this impression is ridiculous.

The narrative in the history books is from the perspective of the world, looking down from top to bottom, the seventh-rank officials naturally seem insignificant.

As for ordinary people, seventh-rank officials, especially the parent officials who are in charge of the ruling party, are definitely high-ranking figures who hold the power of life and death!

"Erlang, our two families are family friends. This time, you have to help Uncle Zhao and make the decision for my Zhao family!"

Patriarch Zhao knew the truth of "it's easy to do things with acquaintances", so he approached Chu Chen directly.

Xuan Lingzi, Wang Ping and the others saw that Chu Chen had friendship with the Zhao family, and none of them opened their mouths.

In fact, among the five, only Chu Chen could speak.

Xuan Lingzi looked down on Wang Ping and the others, and Wang Ping and the others were also dissatisfied with Xuan Lingzi, so Chu Chen's position was relatively subtle. When he spoke, everyone could listen to him calmly.

Chu Chen did not refuse, and began to communicate with Patriarch Zhao.

"Uncle Zhao, how did your family offend the demons of the Demon League? If you explain it in detail, our ghost and god department will definitely not sit back and watch the demons of the Demon League run rampant."

"Well, with Erlang's words, I feel relieved, Uncle Zhao."

The head of Patriarch Zhao thought that Chu Chen had been in a daze for the past twenty years, so he tried to ask:

"Erlang, do you remember girl Qingge?"

Chu Chen was stunned. Zhao Xing, the head of the Zhao family, had no memory of him, but he remembered the Qing song deeply.

It's not that he has such a good friendship with this Miss Zhao family, how familiar he is, he has never met the other party, but the other party's name is very famous to him.

When I was in a daze before, I always heard her in my ears.

Speaking of it, he and Zhao Qingge can be described as "creeping dragons and phoenix chicks".

He was in a daze, dazed all day long.

Zhao Qingge has his [-]% success.

This Miss Zhao family was extremely lethargic, and she was asleep most of the day, only a few of the time was no different from ordinary people.

Sometimes she would sleep for several days at a time, and because she was quite beautiful, she was called "Sleeping Beauty", which was "equally famous" with him, the Erlang of the Chen family.

At the beginning, Chu Chen heard many servants of the Chen family muttering in his ears, and he had a deep memory.

"Uncle Zhao, what happened to Sister Qingge?"

Chu Chen knew that the other party was indeed a family friend of the Chen family, so the name "Uncle Zhao" was easy to pronounce.

Mentioning this matter, the Patriarch of the Zhao family was terrified, and said:
"It's been a long story. Girl Qingge has been in better spirits a few days ago. When she went out for a walk, she happened to meet a monk with a virtuous demeanor who wanted to take Qingge as her apprentice. Uncle Zhao, who am I? One look and you can see that the other party has ulterior motives."

"My Qingge girl does have an outstanding talent in cultivating Taoism, but she is plagued by sleepy bugs, and it is extremely difficult to become enlightened. I guess the other party is planning to use my Qingge as a pottery for mending. There are many such secret methods in the practice world, and I have one more." Xinyan, pretended to respond face to face, turned around and took the family back to the county."

"Sure enough, that person couldn't see Qing Ge, so he became angry from embarrassment. He reported his family name, claiming that he was a monk of the Demon League, and asked me to hand over Qing Ge obediently, otherwise he would be rude to my Zhao family."
