Celestial Immortal

Chapter 629 Being a Desert Tree Planter
It was not the first time for Chu Chen to come to Wanquan County. He came to the county ghosts and gods yamen with ease.

As the deputy governor of the county, he didn't need others to report and guide him, so he went straight to the governor's compound.

As soon as he arrived at the Duguan compound, a kind-faced monk in cassock greeted him, led him into the courtyard pavilion and sat down, served tea and water to entertain him, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, why are you free to come to the county today?"

Chu Chen took the teacup and cupped his hands:

"Thank you Master Tongda."

The monk who entertained Chu Chen was none other than the superintendent of ghosts and gods in Wanquan County.

Born in Buddhism, but overwhelmed countless masters of the Taoist sect, and took the position of Guanda in Wanquan County. The strength of Master Tongda can be seen. He is a top five powerhouse, ranked in the crouching dragon and phoenix young list, and is expected to enter the realm of great supernatural powers The Buddha's child, Xianmiao, has extraordinary mana and supernatural powers, and is the real overlord.

If the supernatural powers can't come out, the master Tongda can basically walk sideways.

"Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, have you encountered difficulties in the construction of the Taoist monastery? Or urge doctors and trainees. If it's the latter, the old monk can't do anything, and we have to wait a few days."

"That's not true, I have other business."

Chu Chen had dealt with Master Tongda, the governor of the county, several times, and knew his temperament. He was a kind and compassionate eminent monk, so he immediately confessed all about his trip to the Golden Toad Fair to redeem his compatriots from the human race.

"Master, I have just come to Wanquan, Yunzhou, and I don't know the situation. Dare I ask, does Yunzhou intend to issue a rescue order in the near future?"

"Amitabha~"

Master Tongda proclaimed the Buddha's name:
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao didn't know that the rescue decree has been drafted in the past few days, and the crown prince has given instructions. The imperial decree has now been issued to all states and counties. After the frontline army suppresses the demon army, the eight southwestern states will continue to expand the territory. Soil, build cities and towns, and then it will be officially announced to the public.”

"Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao bought his compatriots with huge sums of money without knowing the rescue order. I admire you for being a kind-hearted man!"

Chu Chen was overjoyed, not because he was praised by everyone, but because he heard good news.

If the Celestial Dynasty had acted in this way, the power would be different.

At that time, tens of thousands of human compatriots who have been reduced to monsters and livestock will be rescued, and will be protected by the Dachang Heavenly Dynasty and live a "human" life.

"Master, I don't know what the general regulations of the rescue order are?"

Master Tongda smiled, and as the deputy governor of the county, he is qualified to know the inside story, and he can find out by just asking around. He didn't hide it, and said:

"It's similar to the previous rescue order for the prefectures and counties outside the Guanwai. My Celestial Dynasty cultivator, whether it is a redemption or a rescue of our human compatriots from the hands of demons, will be rewarded by the Celestial Court at [-]% of the market price."

When Chu Chen heard this, he was overjoyed.

For example, in the demon market, an ordinary adult male and female slave~slave is about [-] jade coins, you buy it back and hand it to the Celestial Court, and the official subsidizes you [-] jade coins.

At first glance, a loss.

However, many people who practice the righteous way are happy to "lose".

The merits of saving a life are immeasurable.

Rescuing compatriots of the human race is the best way to accumulate merit, which is more meritorious than killing demons and demons.

A true Taoist monk does not value external possessions such as money, but only values ​​two, one is to cultivate oneself to become a Taoist, and the other is to help the world and save others.

There is no better thing for a true orthodox monk to have a Celestial Court to subsidize his cultivation.

To take a step back, many monks will not redeem people honestly.

For example, a serious and honest person like Chu Chen did not simply redeem people, but saved his compatriots, and directly killed demons and demons after stepping on the spot.

Afterwards, not only did he not lose money, but instead made a fortune.

Then hand over the rescued people to the official placement of the Celestial Dynasty, and he will get an additional reward.

In this way, saving the compatriots of the human race is not only a meritorious deed, but also benefits from it.

It is also because of this that once the rescue order is issued, many people will participate in the rescue, and countless human race compatriots who have fallen into the hands of demons will be liberated.

Chu Chen felt relieved when he learned that the rescue order was about to fall.

He has been in the rain, empathizes with him, and is willing to hold up an umbrella for others.

However, manpower is sometimes poor, and his strength alone is limited. He can only hold up an umbrella to shield a few people from the wind and rain. After all, it is just a drop in the bucket.

When the Celestial Dynasty makes a move, only the big umbrella it props up can cover the sky and the sun, and it is mighty.

"Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, it's better to come at a good time than to come at a good time. Although the redemption order has not been announced to the world, but Mr. Ming Jing has stamped it with a seal, and it is now in effect. Immortal Court will reward you."

Master Tongda thought of something and added:
"You can accept this reward, but don't refuse it."

Chu Chen was not a hot-blooded kid, so he naturally knew why Master Tongda emphasized that he accepted the bounty.

He has been a man for two lifetimes, and he knows the allusions of "Zigong Redempting People" very well.

Rejecting bounty subsidies satisfies personal morality and greatly damages public morality. This is a bad start.

"That poor way is disrespectful."

"Great!"

Master Tongda nodded slightly, quite approvingly.

The two chatted again, chatting about all aspects of Yunzhou Wanquan and even the whole Bianhuangzhou County.

"It's not easy to expand the frontier and expand the land. Just like a mortal planting grass in the desert, after finally opening up a place and building a place, the evil wind and the devil wind will blow over, and the wind and sand will sweep the sky and cover the earth. If you are not careful, the previous efforts will be in vain."

"It is extremely difficult to open up frontier wasteland, and it is extremely difficult."

Although Master Tongda was complaining, his eyes were firm, and he didn't show any sign of shrinking back. He was just chatting with emotion.

Chu Chen nodded slightly, quite agreeing with Master Tongda's words.

Oases in the desert are precious.

And the cities in Bianhuangzhou County are oases of life, miracles and hopes.

It is precisely because countless people with lofty ideals have come to the wild land one after another to contribute their own strength, and the desert oasis was born under the unity of will.

Chu Chen wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Master Tongda cupped his hands again:

"Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, we are planting grass in the desert, but fellow Daoists are planting trees in the desert. Whether our Wanquan County can take root deeply depends on the enlightenment of fellow Daoists, educating people and planting trees."

"The mage spoke too seriously."

When Chu Chen heard the words, he understood what Master Tongda meant.

Only when big trees are rooted deep in the earth can we keep water and soil from being lost, and we can hope to build a building that can withstand the monstrous sandstorm.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.

Chu Chen felt a heavy feeling.

Immediately, he nodded slightly and said solemnly:

"Master, the poor Taoist must work hard to manage the Taoist temple, and try our best to cultivate towering trees that take root in the earth for Wanquan County. Daxing my Wanquan!"

After speaking, Chu Chen had a clear idea.

Unknowingly, he clarified the path of practice in the future - to work hard, educate one side, until the day of Shuimu Tsinghua University.

He will be a tree planter in the desert.
