Due to the delay in buying and selling the land deed of Lingtian, Chu Chen's errand took a little longer this time.
After returning to the county town to report to the Ghosts and Gods Department, most of the day had passed.
Wang Ping and the two scholars had already finished the case and were staying comfortably in the meeting hall of Class A of the Huang No. 1 courtyard waiting for work. It was much more comfortable than Chu Chen.
"Brother Chu, why did it take you so long to encounter a difficult case?"
The scholar smiled and joked: "Do you want us to help?"
Wang Ping yawned: "Yes, if necessary, shake people in time."
The two of them each took on an errand early in the morning. The demon involved in the case was not a powerful character. The two of them took action and quickly solved it neatly.
At the moment, the two of them are on duty at the Ghosts and Gods Department, enjoying a lot of leisure time.
This is not to say that the County Ghosts and Gods Department is very relaxed.
In fact, the County Ghosts and Gods Department is much busier than the County Ghosts and Gods Department.
Huanghaoyuan is responsible for the daily affairs of ghosts and gods in the north city of Guangping County and other places in the north outside the county city.
From the immortal officials at all levels to the inspection envoys of each class, everyone has their own responsibilities.
Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and Xiucai are currently on an errand to "inspect the county and city."
Whenever there are demons and demons happening north of the county town, they are all related to them.
Although the deputy squad leader is not of high rank, he still belongs to the ranks of "leaders". Common chores and dealing with ordinary and unconventional monsters and monsters are all left to the patrols of each squad, without him having to worry about it.
Only when high-quality demons and gods are involved, they need to take action.
"In a spiritual field dispute case, I mediated between the two parties."
Chu Chen didn't say much about the case and started chatting with the two of them with a smile.
Today, three of them are on duty in Class A of the Yellow No. Yard, responsible for daily errands.
By the time evening came, the three of them had not yet arrived on errands.
Finally, they handed over the errand to the deputy head Xianli who was responsible for the "night watch" errand, and each of them left the office and went home.
After two or three months, I returned to work at the Ghosts and Gods Division Yamen. On the first day, I accumulated a skill and a favorite spell.
Chu Chen felt quite good.
Practicing alone in the Department of Ghosts and Gods is the true path of cultivation.
With brisk steps, Chu Chen returned to Yunshui Residence.
Currently, Chu Chen is in the Chen Mansion and Yunshui Ju is running on both sides.
I live in Yunshui Ju for a long time, and occasionally go back to Chen Mansion to stay for a day or two.
In fact, Chu Chen preferred to live in Yunshui Residence with his master.
Only he, his master, and the little devil live in Yunshui Residence. There are no other people. It is very clean and suitable for practice.
Mrs. Chen's house was too lively and had many unnecessary entertainments, which he disliked the most.
"came back!"
Back at Yunshui Residence, Master Xu Ping, Taoist Master, came back earlier than Chu Chen.
While Chu Chen was still outside the hall, Master Xu Ping's voice came over:
"Come, drink tea!"
"coming."
Chu Chen trotted into the house.
After being transferred to Guangping County from the Department of Ghosts and Gods of Xin'an County, Master Xu Ping has a lot more time than before. Except for going out on errands, he is very punctual at other times.
Every day after returning from Sanya, Taoist Master Xu Ping would instruct his disciples on how to practice.
Chu Chen was used to this and was not surprised.
This has to do with immortality.
As the director of the County Ghosts and Gods Department, he is in charge of the ghosts and gods affairs of a county. Everything is related to him. Naturally, he is very busy and has a lot of pressure.
After being promoted to deputy director of Guangping Department of Ghosts and Gods, the affairs that Master Xu Ping was responsible for were greatly reduced, and his burden was much lighter.
"Apprentice, how do you feel about returning to the Ghost and God Division's Yamen today?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping expressed concern.
"It's good. I can practice Qigong again."
Chu Chen thought for a while and told everything about today's dispute over the spiritual field in Blue Jade Town and his encounter with a loyal dog demon.
When dealing with the Department of Ghosts and Gods, he avoided the important and ignored the trivial and did not describe the case in detail.
But Chu Chen did not hide anything from his master.
Taoist Master Xu Ping just asked casually to show concern for his disciples, but he didn't take it seriously at first.
However, after hearing the story of the dog demon guarding his master's tomb and doing his duty till death, he couldn't help but say something.
"What a loyal dog!"
Taoist Xu Ping looked at Chu Chen with admiration:
"This matter has been handled well. This spiritual field dispute case must be dealt with to the end, otherwise there will definitely be problems in the future. With the greed of the sect of the family, this dog monster will definitely be more evil than good."
After the praise, Taoist priest Xu Ping changed the subject:
"However, this matter was not handled well enough."
"It is necessary to buy the title deed of Lingtian from the businessman named Tao, but you cannot buy it. It is suspected of being a forced purchase and sale, and it is easy to be criticized. Next time, you'd better make an extra turn and let others buy it.
Down."
Chu Chen nodded. What the master said made sense, but his behavior was easily criticized. In the previous life, this was called an incorrect procedure.
"Master, does it have any impact?"
Chu Chen asked.
Taoist priest Xu Ping shook his head: "You bought it at the market price without lowering the price. It won't have much impact. I just remind you to be more careful next time. People's hearts are sinister, especially businessmen who are only interested in profit. Be careful to be bitten by him.
."
Chu Chen naturally understood these people's sophistication and said with a smile:
"Master, this matter is not that simple."
Taoist priest Xu Ping was surprised: "Is there any secret behind this matter?"
"good!"
Chu Chen nodded, and then told the story about the dog demon entering Taoism with "loyalty" and possessing extremely high talent for cultivation.
"Hehehe~ Master, I bought the spiritual field simply to form a good relationship with this dog demon."
Taoist priest Xu Ping showed surprise on his face:
"Apprentice, you said that dog demon has condensed the [loyalty and righteousness heart]?"
"I guessed it too."
Chu Chen gave a conservative answer.
However, he then explained:
"That dog demon doesn't have any advanced cultivation methods. Not to mention the Taoist practice, it swallows the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers without any trace of evil spirit. It has pure magic power. Master, you have rich experience. What do you think?"
When Xu Ping heard this, he pondered for a while and said slowly:
"Practice a way, nourish your essence, refine your Qi, and preserve your spirit. Any cultivation method is nothing more than this."
"That dog demon has no cultivation method. To be able to cultivate pure magic power, he must have a clear mind and see his nature, and it is difficult for external demons to invade. He has understood the true meaning of the method of cultivating gods. His cultivation talent is extraordinary."
"Your friend Zhang Xiucai's [painting mind], in a sense, also belongs to this category, and his future is limitless."
"It's just that how do you know that the dog demon condenses the [Loyalty and Dao Heart]? It's hard to make a conclusion based on its loyal behavior alone. Maybe it has other opportunities that you haven't discovered."
Chu Chen nodded.
It's not like he hasn't thought about this guess.
However, his intuition told him that the dog demon entered Taoism with "loyalty and righteousness" and most likely had a "loyalty and righteousness in Taoism".
"Master, my inner god-refining general Guan Yu is the god of loyalty and righteousness. I feel something about it."
"Oh? There's still this thing!"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Priest Xu Ping nodded repeatedly:
"If so, I'm afraid eight to nine times out of ten your guess is true."
Chu Chen then said:
"Master, I understand."
Taoist priest Xu Ping was stunned. Wasn't the dog demon enlightened?
"What did you realize?"
"I have understood [Marshal Guan's True Shape Talisman]."
