Chapter 16 Painting as a Horse, Invitation to the Fairy Demon Wind, and Clouds from the Bottom of th
As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who like to be officials.
Even if you live in a different world, you are not exempt from vulgarity.
Chu Chen was born with Taoist magic power, and after being taught it, he basically met the conditions to enter the Xin'an Ghost and God Department.
Under the arrangement of Taoist Master Xu Ping, three days later, he successfully entered the Department of Ghost and God Control and became one of the candidate immortal officials of Dachang Immortal Court.
The reason why he is said to be a candidate for an immortal official is because after being awarded a ninth-grade boy, he is still far away from becoming a real immortal official.
Looking at the entire Xin'an Ghost and God Department, there are only four immortal cultivators who are truly qualified to be called immortal officials.
The first one is Taoist Xu Ping, who is in charge of the city, is a seventh-grade Yuanhua mage, is a member of the North Pole Exorcist Academy, is responsible for the affairs of the city god, and is the top leader in charge of the county's ghost and god affairs.
The second one is Taoist Master Qingyun, deputy governor, the master of Bailong Temple in Xin'an, an eighth-level magician, Hunyuan envoy, and the head of the Class A of the Ghosts and Gods Department.
The third one, the vice-captain is in charge of Zen Master Kong. He is an eighth-grade Fu Mage (high-match) and also serves as the leader of the Class B of the Department of Ghosts and Gods.
The fourth one, Deputy Du Guan Huang Mei, is from the Maxian lineage, is a ninth-grade Fu Mage, and is also the head of the Class C of the Ghost and God Division.
Four chiefs and deputy chiefs make up the leadership team of the Ghosts and Gods Department of Xin'an County.
Taoist priest Xu Ping and Taoist priest Qingyun came from the orthodox lineage of the Taoist sect. In addition to being titled as Yuanhua mage and magician, they also held positions in the Heavenly Court Department.
As for Zen Master Lokong and Huang Mei, the two deputy governors, one was born in Buddhism and the other was born in Maxian Dharma. Therefore, they only have the title of "Magician Fu" from the eighth to the ninth grade, and have no positions in Dachang Xianting.
Chu Chen granted him the Ninth Grade Boy's Gu, which was the basis for him to be theoretically qualified to serve as a Ninth Grade Immortal Official.
But, the road must be gained step by step, and the food must be eaten step by step.
The competition among immortal officials is extremely fierce. Every one is a carrot and a pit, and countless immortal cultivators are watching. It is not possible to hold the actual position of Dachang Immortal Court casually.
First, the Taoist practice must be profound, and the merits must be sufficient. Both are indispensable.
If you want to become a true immortal official, you must start from the grassroots step by step, practice well, and perform well.
He was arranged by Taoist Master Xu Ping to join Class B of the Ghosts and Gods Department and served as an inspection envoy.
The position of inspector is the backbone of the third team of the Ghosts and Gods Department. It is held by practitioners with magical powers and is responsible for all kinds of ghosts, ghosts and other ghosts and gods in the county.
Chu Chen had no objection to this and completely listened to his master's arrangements.
Early in the morning, Chu Chen and Taoist Xu Ping went to work at the Yamen of the Ghost and God Division.
After entering the Yamen of Ghosts and Gods Division, the Taoist priest directly threw him down and left in a hurry.
Chu Chen didn't pay attention either. It was said that he found traces of the soul-stealing bone demon again and was very busy.
"Director Chu, please come this way! I'll take you to Class B."
The yamen servant of the Ghosts and Gods Department was very discerning and diligently led Chu Chen to report to Class B.
After meeting his immediate superior, Zen Master Sikong, Chu Chen officially became a member of the Class B of Ghosts and Gods Division.
In one morning, Chu Chen made two new friends.
One was named Zhang Linsheng, who was a scholar and was good at the art of painting. He dipped his pen in ink and attached his awe-inspiring aura to the scroll. He painted tigers and tigers alive and fish leaping. He had thousands of troops and horses in his chest, and he did it with just a swipe of his pen.
One person is named Huang Fugui. His name is so rich, and his background is not bad. He is a disciple of Ma Xian. His uncle is the head of class C, and is in charge of deputy director Huang Mei. He is also a related household, and he also entered class B.
.
Because the three of them are newcomers to the Ghosts and Gods Department and lack experience, Zen Master Liao Kong divided the three of them into a team. In the next period of time, the three of them will act together to handle various cases.
Zhang Xiu has read the books of sages, has good conversation and behavior, has a familiar character, likes to brag, is sincere to others, and is easy to get along with.
Huang Fugui grew up practicing in the countryside. The interpersonal relationships he had been exposed to since childhood were relatively simple. He was a bit reserved when talking to others and did not talk much. He has a simple and honest temperament. It is not difficult to get along with this kind of person.
All morning, the three of them got along quite harmoniously.
"Even if we meet by fate, how about we get together later and have a few drinks? I'll treat you!"
Chu Chen suggested with a smile that it is important to have a good relationship with your colleagues, especially those comrades who will fight side by side and go into danger together in the future, so you should get along well with them.
Zhang Xiucai waved his hands repeatedly and said jokingly:
"How can I let Brother Chu treat us? One of you is a disciple of the Du Guan, and the other is the nephew of the Deputy Du Guan. I must treat you, give me a face, and bribe them both well."
Zhang Xiucai's words made Chu Chen burst into laughter.
Zhang Sheng does not seem to be a flattering and teasing person.
On the contrary, when the three of them got along, he seemed extremely calm and confident, and was slightly forceful in everything he said and did.
This joke, unknowingly, suddenly brought the three of them closer together.
After get off work, the three of them had a meal at a restaurant near the Guanshenduguansi Yamen.
In the end, the person who paid the bill was Huang Fugui.
There is no way, the most ruthless person is always the one who doesn't speak and keeps silent.
Huang Fugui said nothing and settled the bill secretly by himself.
After finishing, he smiled naively at Chu Chen and Zhang Xiucai.
"My uncle said that when you go out to dinner with your colleagues for the first time, you must be generous and don't be picky."
Chu Chen and Zhang Xiucai had no choice but to give up.
In the next few days, Chu Chen and Zhang Xiucai invited each other for a while.
This is how relationships go. Once they get to know each other, they become familiar again. After several gatherings, the three of them become more familiar with each other.
Once people become familiar with each other, their true nature will be revealed.
Zhang Xiucai became more and more bragging and narcissistic.
Huang Fugui is no longer reserved in his speech, and his naive appearance reveals a bit of shrewdness.
Chu Chen, as a man in his two lives, has always kept himself in the dark, and he really has some Taoist aura of transcendence.
In the first few days, Zen Master Liao Kong basically did not arrange any serious work for the three of them. He just asked them to get familiar with the Ghosts and Gods Division, so that they could be familiar with the environment.
On the fourth day, Zen Master Liao Kong assigned them a case.
Eighty miles outside the county town, in Guangyuan Township, a murder case occurred, and demons were suspected to be involved, so the Department of Ghosts and Gods sent an inspection envoy to investigate.
This case can be regarded as the debut of three newcomers, Chu Chen, Zhang Xiucai, and Huang Fugui.
When they went out to handle a case for the first time, Zhang Xiucai and Huang Fugui seemed quite excited and eager to give it a try.
The so-called eagerness to try, one is for the case itself, and the other is a display of strength.
Ghosts and Gods Division, after all, is a yamen that relies on its strength to speak for itself.
Only strength can truly attract the respect of others.
After leaving the city, we came to the deserted wilderness.
Zhang Xiucai took something out of his sleeve and spread out a scroll in the air.
On the scroll, a bay-red horse with wings comes alive, ready to come out, and the faint sound of horse hooves can be heard coming from the scroll.
As soon as he spat out his embroidered mouth, a majestic aura swept through him, and the winged maroon horse flew out of the scroll.
Zhang Xiucai jumped into the air and mounted a maroon BMW with wings.
Turning around, Lingkong looked at Chu Chen and Huang Fugui with a smile.
"You two, do you need a ride?"
Huang Fugui grinned: "No need!"
After finishing speaking, he recited the incantation:
"Heaven is Lingling, water is Lingling, fire is Lingling, water and fire are the most powerful in heaven and earth. I ask the immortal to help me!"
As he spoke, Huang Fugui was surrounded by black smoke and confused, and the demonic aura was billowing, and he disappeared in a flash.
Zhang Xiucai secretly felt pity and looked at Chu Chen again.
"Brother Chu, what about you?"
Chu Chen was also carrying a wooden box on his back, which contained a jar, and it turned out to be a little devil.
The kid can carry him on his back and run very fast, so he is a good choice.
It's just a bit embarrassing.
Think about that scene, an adult throwing himself on the back of a weak little kid and letting him carry him...
The soldiers and horses in the jar can be summoned, and the Yin soldiers carry the sedan chair, which is not bad.
But after thinking about it, Chu Chen rejected it.
My master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, knew a lot of traveling spells. At first, it was just to observe and test him, so I deliberately didn't use them.
"Xie invites the six gods of Liuding and Liujia, the gods of flying white clouds and feathers. It takes gods to pass the cross. The clouds are as fast as the wind with one step. I offer sacrifices to fly in the blue sky. I follow the laws of Mr. Three Mountains and Nine Lords!"
Chu Chen stepped on the steps, recited the incantation and burned the talisman, and finally tied the two armored horses to his feet.
The next moment, clouds formed under his feet, he stood up and floated away.
That look really has a bit of an immortal spirit and a peerless aura.
Zhang Xiucai blinked, and the proud look on his face disappeared without a trace.
