Chapter 235 Jian Ye is haunted

Hearing Baihe City's straightforward words, the guests' faces were different and they started to discuss.

"We have indeed heard of the ghosts, but the head of the family summoned us over, probably because of some arrangements." Xie Yuxin opened her eyes and spoke first.

"Yes. Now people are in panic in the city. The government has discussed with several of our families and decided to gather the strength of the whole city to gather talented people and strangers to fight against ghosts everywhere. A ghost hunting list was issued to encourage them." Bai Hecheng nodded and continued.

"Dare you ask the head of the family, is this list unique to my Bai family?" Xie Yuxin asked again.

"Haha, this task list is not unique to my Bai family, but is uniformly issued by the government, including the yamen, Lin family, and Du family. The tasks above may be completed by others at any time, so if you like any task, you must start quickly." Bai Hecheng said with a smile.

As soon as these words were said, the guests present showed a hint of anxiety and were ready to move.

"Everyone, don't be impatient. The copy of the official ghost hunting list has been placed on the account. There are detailed signs about the content of the task and the rewards. You can check it out after that. But before that, Bai still has some things to say in advance." Bai Hecheng stretched out his hands, pressed everyone with a serious expression.

When everyone heard this, they immediately became quiet.

"The tasks on the ghost hunting list are rewarding, but the content is also very dangerous. You must do it within your ability. In addition, you are my guest minister of the Bai family. If you complete the task, you need to go back to the Bai family's account and report it, and then the Bai family will go to the government to deliver it." Bai Hecheng said.

The guests naturally had no objection to the danger. After all, risks and opportunities coexist, so there is no possibility of waiting for the reward to come to your door without taking any responsibility. As for returning to the Bai family to pay the task, they all felt that they deserved it.

Only Shen Luo felt a little strange, and didn't understand why Bai Hecheng specifically told this?

"Everyone, at this time of crisis, I still hope that everyone can work together to overcome difficulties and do their best to protect the peace of Jianye City." Bai Hecheng said with a smile on his face.

"Even if there is no such ghost hunting list, it is my duty to subdue demons and eliminate ghosts. I will definitely not fall into the title of the Bai family's first exorcist family." Xie Yuxin said, and the rest of the people also clasped their fists and agreed.

"I feel relieved if I have this sentence from fellow Taoist thanks for this." Bai Hecheng nodded with a smile.

Then, he ordered everyone to go to the accounting lobby, where the list had been published and the details of various tasks had been announced.

Shen Luo also followed the crowd out of the hall.

"Head of the family, do you really want to tell them about the competition with Lin and Du families for the first exorcist family?" Bai Jiangfeng asked after everyone left.

"No need, if this matter is leaked, these guests may have other thoughts. I have already learned about it secretly, and the Lin and Du families did not tell this matter." Bai Hecheng shook his head and said.

"That's right." Bai Jiangfeng said that, raised his hand and waved it, and a piece of white silk appeared on his palm.

The white silk is full of small characters with red pens, and the contents of the ghost-catching task are just a bit different from what Baihecheng said before. After the task, the rewards for immortal jade and spiritual materials were not marked, and only some numbers were written.

"The government is really good at calculating and has created the title of the First Exorcist Family to complete the tasks on the ghost hunting list. The accumulated merit points are calculated to calculate the results, so that our three major families can compete for the first time. However, their rewards to the First Exorcist Family are also really generous. The management rights of the three prosperous shops in Xuanwu Street and the transportation rights of the dock outside the city are just a matter of no choice but to compete for it." Bai Jiangfeng said.

"The government has no choice. Recently, ghosts suddenly broke out. If they are suppressed in a short period of time, it will have a great impact on Jianye City." Bai Hecheng said in a deep voice.

"But what happened recently? There are frequent incidents of demons and ghosts in various places. Is it really like the rumors outside that something disaster will come?" Bai Jiangfeng frowned.

"Let's handle the things in front of you first." Bai Hecheng said without comment.

...

While Baihecheng and Bai Jiangfeng were talking to Baihefeng, a group of guests from the Bai family had gathered at the Bai family's account room.

In the account hall, there is a wooden list about 100 meters high. The tasks written on it are arranged one by one, with clear entries and unfinished.

Shen Luo stood behind the crowd and looked on tiptoe and saw rows of dense small words written on the list, which were the tasks of exorcism, the location, reason, and the writing was very clear.

There are various rewards after the mission, in addition to the fairy jade, there are also some spiritual materials and other objects.

"Ghosts in the Zhuangyuan Bridge in the South Gate are suspected to be water ghosts, they are good at diving, have great strength and thick skin, and they will reward two immortal jades when they kill."

"The Liujia Village in the east of the city has been haunted, five people have been injured, and several livestock have been plundered. The body is unknown, and a piece of fire, gold and wood are rewarded."

"Every night, female ghosts cry in Liulin Town, south of the city, and the villagers are frightened..."

Shen Luo's eyes lit up. The rewards for the list are really generous. There are only two or three immortal jades, including more than five, which is equivalent to his salary for several months or even a year. Although he doesn't know most of the spiritual materials, they all seem extraordinary.

"There are really a lot of good things!" Bai Xiaoyun also showed a hint of surprise on his face when he saw this.

Seeing the content of the mission, the guests also showed joy on their faces.

Although they, the Bai family’s guest officials, can enjoy some cultivation resources on weekdays, are very rare. Apart from the normal supply, they can only be rewarded by making merits in the mansion. Their lives are generally tight. It is rare to see so many high-paid tasks at one time.

Chen Luo looked at it for a while, then shook his head gently, looked away, and turned around to leave.

It's not that he doesn't want to perform these tasks, but that he has self-knowledge.

With his current cultivation level to do tasks, one may not be the opponent of those ghosts, which is quite a bit like taking risks with his body; the other hand, even if he can fight certain ghosts, he may have to spend some talismans and other things. It may not be cost-effective to go back and forth.

Now that he has been practicing the nameless martial arts smoothly, and he has made two foreign money, he is naturally not interested in the immortal jade and those materials. This time he follows him just to have a better understanding.

"Why, Brother Shen is not interested in these tasks?" Bai Xiaoyun came over and asked.

"There are too many people in front of me, I'll take a look later." Chen Luo smiled and said casually.
