Chapter 166: The Magical Use of Qi-Looking Technique
"I've seen Deputy Han in charge!"
In the spacious and elegant study room, Chu Chen bowed respectfully.
He didn't call him flattery, he didn't care.
In fact, the higher the level, the more particular about the title.
Whatever you want to call it, you have to call it.
If you call him Deputy Du Guan, you can only call him Deputy Du Guan. If you call him Du Guan, it will make a joke and make people unhappy.
"Sit down, I'm a fellow-minded person, there's no need to be polite."
Han Chen looks like he is around thirty, but he is actually over a hundred years old. He is handsome, mature and steady. He always has a gentle smile on his face. He is more approachable and approachable than Jiuqiu Shanren, the director of Huanghaoyuan.
People who practice Buddhism are all members of the same Taoist religion, so they can all be called "fellow Taoists".
Humans are social animals that live in groups, and class distinctions are inevitable.
This is true whether it is the secular world, the spiritual world, or the upper world.
Han Chen's phrase "people of the same spirit" was very useful to Chu Chen.
It seems that this Deputy Governor Han is a sweet-tempered person.
Chu Chen was not polite and found a seat in the side hall of the study to sit down.
Han Chen slowly walked out of the side hall, sat on the seat next to Chu Chen, and casually asked about Chu Chen's appointment as Huang Haoyuan, acting like a leader who cares about his subordinates.
"Chu Chen, you had a good understanding of the word Tao that day, and it coincides with mine."
"Thank you, Deputy Director Han. The junior's nonsense made the senior laugh."
"Don't belittle yourself, accumulate your merits, and you will have a bright future."
When Han Chen called Chu Chen, he didn't have anything to explain. He was simply a leader caring about his subordinates.
After some pleasantries, Chu Chen left.
"Another good young man with great luck."
Watching Chu Chen leave, a faint smile appeared on Han Chen's face.
He is good at Qi-gazing, so it's really easy for him to take care of everything.
After a period of time, a group of subordinates with high luck are selected, and without much effort, after a year and a half, his achievements are inexplicably higher than those of his colleagues at the same level, and it is proven after repeated trials.
...
Chu Chen returned to Class A of Huanghaoyuan and received his identity badge as Class B deputy class leader.
At this point, he officially joined the Guangping County Ghosts and Gods Department.
There is a big difference between the County Ghosts and Gods Department and the County Ghosts and Gods Department.
The County Ghosts and Gods Department is only responsible for a small county, and rarely has the opportunity to show off its skills. Most of the time it is trivial tasks such as "exorcising evil spirits and eliminating disasters", "salvation of dead souls", "haunting ghosts" and "night vigil patrols", etc., which requires a lot of hard work.
For ordinary people, a county is very large and vast.
Many villagers have never left their hometown more than fifty miles in their lives, and many have never been to the county seat.
For the demon, a county is too small, so he can escape in a matter of seconds by using his escape technique.
Serious and important cases occur in many counties, and the person who ultimately learns about the case is often not the County Ghosts and Gods Department, but the County Ghosts and Gods Department or even the State Ghosts and Gods Department.
Several major cases I dealt with in Xin'an County before ended in the same way.
Therefore, the biggest difference between the County Ghosts and Gods Division and the County Ghosts and Gods Division is that the errands of the immortal officials in the County Ghosts and Gods Division are mostly to "apprehend important criminals" and "slay demons and eliminate demons", and they will fight with demons and gods from time to time.
It's more dangerous than being in the County Ghosts and Gods Division.
Correspondingly, it is easier for county ghosts and gods to accumulate merit and be promoted faster.
There are even plenty of opportunities to make extra money.
Under normal circumstances, the demons who commit crimes will flee into the mountains and swamps.
For example, the Longling Mountains, which span several counties in Qingzhou, harbor a large number of demons who commit crimes.
Every day, the Department of Ghosts and Gods in each county will send their immortal officials into the mountains to hunt down demons and gods.
In the process, the immortal officials can earn extra money by hunting for treasures in the mountains.
This is also the reason why the Taoist Academy encourages its disciples to go into the mountains to gain experience. They are all necessary talents for immortal officials and are indispensable.
However, when Chu Chen, Wang Ping, Xiucai and others first entered Huanghaoyuan of the County Ghost and God Division, their superiors did not arrange for them to "capture important criminals" or "slay demons", but arranged for them to "inspect" the county.
Errands around town.
The towns, villages and villages around the county are all under the direct jurisdiction of the county. Every day, people report to the Department of Ghosts and Gods about ghosts and ghosts causing trouble.
The Department of Ghosts and Gods will handle all reported cases, and dispatch inspectors and immortal officials of the Department of Ghosts and Gods to investigate in a timely manner. This is the daily errand of the Department of Ghosts and Gods.
Most of the time, the cases reported by ordinary people are trivial matters, and some are simply neighbor disputes.
The immortal officials who arranged the "inspection" errands traveled around various places every day, coming and going, which was quite hard.
Chu Chen, the "inspector" errand, was very familiar to the scholar.
In the Guishen Division of Xin'an County, they often receive similar errands, and they are very familiar with them.
The three of them each received their errands.
Everyone has different errands, so there is no peer to work with.
The errand Chu Chen received was thirty miles away from the county town.
There is a small town called Blue Jade Town, named after the local abundance of blue jade.
Nowadays, the town is located at the throat of Guangping County, with a constant flow of business travelers and is quite lively.
The reporter was a jade merchant in the town, his surname was Tao. He was a well-known jade merchant in Lanyu Town. His family had a lot of money and was extremely wealthy.
According to him, there were suspected demons and ghosts in the town, and he specifically requested the Department of Ghosts and Gods to send someone to investigate.
Chu Chen rode the calligraphy horse gifted by the scholar and arrived in the town soon.
I randomly asked a street vendor for directions.
Soon, he arrived in front of the Tao family's mansion.
"This little Taoist priest, my master has reported it to the Department of Ghosts and Gods, and the reward notice is invalid. You don't need to come anymore."
The concierge of Tao Mansion waved his hand impatiently at Chu Chen and sent him away.
Chu Chen frowned slightly.
Reward notice?
In this way, the case did not just happen, but happened long ago.
The Tao Mansion didn't report it to the Department of Ghosts and Gods immediately, but instead asked the monks to take action?
"I am the county's official of the Ghost and God Department. I want you, Mr. Tao Mansion, to come out and see me."
Chu Chen didn't say much to the concierge, and gave orders to the concierge in a commanding tone.
When the concierge heard that it was someone from the Department of Ghosts and Gods, the indifference on his face disappeared, and he quickly nodded and bowed to invite Chu Chen in.
"This immortal master, you are finally here..."
The businessman surnamed Tao is a slightly stout middle-aged man with a frightened look on his face.
When I saw Chu Chen, I felt like I had seen a savior.
Chu Chen did not chat with the other party, went straight to the topic and asked about the case of demons and gods.
"To make a long story short, what happened in your house?"
"Master Immortal, there is a demon causing trouble in my house!" The businessman surnamed Tao said with a frightened look on his face:
"A few days ago, the sound of ghosts crying came from time to time in my house. It was extremely scary and disturbed the whole house."
"At first, I didn't care. Who would have thought that my martial arts guard was attacked by it for no reason and was seriously injured."
"I had a hunch that the demon was definitely coming for me, so I asked an expert to exorcise the demons from my house. Who would have thought, those people were all liars who were swindling, and they were all scared before they even met the demon.
Ran..."
"etc!"
Chu Chen interrupted the other party rudely, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he scolded in a deep voice:
"There are demons and ghosts causing trouble in the house, why didn't you notify the Department of Ghosts and Gods?"
