Chapter 178: To practice magic, you only need hands
Outside the Huang No. courtyard, a middle-aged female crown holding a fly whisk was furious and pointed at the courtyard of the Class A class room.
All the immortal officials in the courtyard looked at each other, lowered their heads and discussed endlessly.
However, no one stepped forward to scold the visitor.
This middle-aged female Taoist priest has a good Taoist practice and is of the sixth grade. How dare you, an ordinary monk, step forward to stop her.
The most important thing is that he wears a sixth-grade "Daohua Master" jade plaque on his waist. He is a member of the Immortal Court System and is also an Immortal Official.
Instead of outsiders knocking on the door and provoking the county ghosts and gods, most people just wanted to watch a show. It was not too big a deal to watch the excitement and asked one by one who was "Wang Ping".
Fortunately, Vice-Captain Han Chen came out and with a smile on his face stopped the middle-aged female crown who was cursing with her hands on her hips.
When the middle-aged female crown officer saw the deputy director of the Department of Ghosts and Gods appeared, she stopped making trouble and followed Han Chen into a clean and elegant courtyard.
Not long after, Brother Wang Ping was quickly summoned by the yamen servant in the duty room, and Deputy Han also invited him.
Wang Ping said with a sad face: "I have three errands to do today. I'm going to go through the tribulation."
"Brother Wang, take care!"
Chu Chen, the scholar, and Lin Miaoyin showed sympathy to him.
Just because you spar with others and beat them up, just because they don't mind, doesn't mean that the seniors behind them don't mind, especially some seniors who protect their shortcomings and are liars. They have no reason to argue.
Lin Miaoyin was quite worried and said:
"That is Liu Xiangu from Sanqing Temple in Guangping. She has a hot temper and is extremely protective of her shortcomings. I'm afraid Taoist Wang will suffer a lot now."
Chu Chen and Wang Ping nodded.
"No wonder he dared to break into our Ghost and God Department directly. It turns out he has a great background."
Sanqing Temple is one of the best Taoist temples in the world, a truly great sect of immortals, with countless powerful people in the temple.
Guangping Sanqing Temple is not the ancestral temple, but just one of its branch temples.
However, despite this, Guangping Sanqing Temple should not be underestimated. Its strength ranks among the top five sects in Guangping County. Its disciples serve in the Ghost and God Departments at all levels in Qingzhou, which is quite a blessing.
The scholar shook his head, his face showing both sympathy and gloating at the expense of his friends.
Chu Chen smiled, also showing a hint of gloating.
It's not a big deal to watch the fun.
Essentially, it's not a big deal.
It was just that in order to show "the strength of the strong" in the martial arts competition between scholars, they went too far and acted a little less appropriately. The elders of the master's sect saw that the apprentice was too seriously injured and felt distressed, so they came to see him.
Even if Wang Ping has no background, the middle-aged female champion will not really do anything to Wang Ping.
Now Deputy Governor Han Chen has come forward, and since he has made peace, Wang Ping will only suffer a little bit in the end.
After burning the incense, Wang Ping really came back completely, but his face was a little uneasy and his smile was quite forced.
When they met, Wang Ping spoke before Chu Chen and the others could ask.
"A case just came in, I'm going to handle it."
After giving an explanation, Wang Ping rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and left in a hurry.
Chu Chen and Xiucai looked at each other in confusion. In the end, they couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
On duty to patrol the county town, in a sense, it is like doing odd jobs.
Around the county, anything that has anything to do with demons and ghosts will come to light. Just like a fire brigade, they are so busy that they can encounter anything.
Chu Chen and the other three were in the duty room, constantly receiving cases submitted from below.
Most cases do not require the intervention of three people. They only need to be assigned to the inspection envoy of Class A to handle them.
As deputy leaders on duty, they only need to handle cases that ordinary patrol officers and substitute immortal officials cannot handle.
The three of them chatted and talked happily, but it was not boring at all.
However, Chu Chen hopes to come to a case to accumulate merits.
He currently has sixty-five merit points, and he is only five steps away from learning the [Marshal Zhaoguan True Form Technique].
Emperor Tian pays off his conscientious people.
Chu Chen finally found a case that needed to be handled by their deputy team leader.
There is a village twenty or thirty miles outside the county town called Songlin Village.
This village is built at the foot of a mountain on a high terrain. On weekdays, when it doesn't rain, the crops are irrigated entirely by the reservoir built by the villagers themselves.
Last night, I don't know which "expert" cast a spell, and the water in the reservoir was transferred out of thin air.
The reservoir suddenly dried up.
This morning, when the villagers woke up and saw the dried up reservoir, they were all dumbfounded.
Without the water stored in the reservoir, irrigation of farmland in the whole village would become a big problem.
Food is the most important thing for people, and for farmers, water is their life.
In rural areas, there are many cases of armed fighting and even fatal cases over "water".
The reservoir stored so much water and disappeared overnight. The villagers were not stupid, and they understood that they had encountered a "fighting" between demons and gods, and suffered the same disaster as the fish in the pond.
As a result, the villagers quickly sent people to report to the Ghosts and Gods Department.
Lin Miaoyin quickly flipped through the case book and said: "Being able to transfer water from a reservoir overnight requires different magical powers. Ordinary patrols may not be able to handle it, and we will have to take action."
"Yeah!" Xiucai nodded, but then he spread his hands and said:
"I don't know how to pray for sunshine and rain, who of you can? If not, we have to report it in time."
Needless to say, this case must involve demons and gods. However, the top priority is not to find the murderer behind it, but to invite an immortal official who can pray for sunshine and rain to come over to appease the people first and then deal with the follow-up of the case.
Scholars are self-aware.
He is good at the art of painting and has many fighting methods, but he is not good at the art of praying for sunshine and rain.
The art of praying for rain requires a Taoist priest from an authentic Taoist sect.
The scholar looked at Lin Miaoyin and Chu Chen.
Of course, the main focus fell on Lin Miaoyin.
Scholar is different from other people. He knows Chu Chen very well, and it is not wrong to say that he knows Chu Chen thoroughly.
He was able to practice so quickly because, firstly, he had a wonderful idea of painting, and secondly, he was supported by the Dragon King. Most importantly, he had practiced the art of painting hard for more than ten years and had a solid foundation.
As for Chu Chen, he was previously in a state of confusion and failed to achieve enlightenment. He had only been practicing Taoism for half a year, but to be able to achieve his current level of Taoism is already extraordinary.
He admired and envied him from the bottom of his heart.
Xiucai watched Chu Chen grow up step by step. He subconsciously thought that Chu Chen should not have time to dabble in the art of praying for sunshine and rain at the moment.
Lin Miaoyin's face turned slightly red and she said with shame: "My master has a method of praying for rain, but I'm not good at it. Taoist friend Wang Ping was from the Wanlei Sect, so he thought he was good at praying for rain. Unfortunately, he just left."
The scholar shook his head and said with regret: "Then we can only inform other classes and ask the brothers' classes to borrow monks who can pray for rain."
Lin Miaoyin nodded slightly.
"Ahem~"
Chu Chen coughed, interrupted the discussion between the two, and said, "Leave this case to me."
The scholar was stunned for a moment, seemed to have remembered something, and said:
"Brother Chu, you are not going to use your water-spraying magic to relieve the villagers' drought, are you? Watering hundreds of acres of fields, you are not afraid of dying from exhaustion!"
"Of course not!" Chu Chen waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile:
"I know how to pray for rain!"
Chu Chen does know how to pray for rain.
Previously, a spell appeared in the Heart Temple [Building Rain and Breaking Ni], which can be used just right.
Lin Miaoyin didn't know enough about Chu Chen. In her mind, Chu Chen was very powerful. She wasn't surprised at all when she heard this, but she was quite pleasantly surprised.
The scholar was very surprised:
"Do you know how to pray for rain? How quickly can you practice magic?"
Chu Chen nodded.
With Xinmiao here, he can practice magic very quickly.
In order to make people around him slowly accept this, he deliberately set up a "genius persona".
