The next day, Chu Chen went to Dianmao, the Department of Ghosts and Gods, as usual for his daily inspection.
Wang Ping, Xiucai, and Lin Miaoyin first praised Chu Chen for killing the evil beast of disaster, and then learned that the little ghost had made great progress and his cultivation had greatly improved, and they all congratulated Chu Chen and the little ghost.
The little devil is very sensible and will not rush to seek luck or anything like that.
However, Wang Ping, Xiucai, and Lin Miaoyin knew the little ghost's preferences very well, so he even opened his mouth, and the three of them sent incense to benefit the soul.
Each person received a packet of incense, which made the kid's eyes widen.
Last night, after begging for a long time, it finally got three sticks of incense from the stingy senior brother.
But it was a pity that Chu Chen "ruthlessly" rejected the three people's good intentions.
"Thank you three for your kindness. Smoking too much soul-enhancing incense is not good for the little devil's practice. You three are so kind, just give me a lucky break."
Wang Ping and the other three were practitioners. They smiled and presented three sticks of incense one after another.
The little ghost is a contented ghost, and he is not sensitive to arithmetic. He is still very happy after getting the nine incense sticks.
Fortune favors fools!
On this day, the errand of Chu Chen and his party was still to patrol the north of the county and stay on duty.
"I hope I can be more relaxed today and have less bullshit. Even if there is a case, it is not an unfounded case."
The scholar picked up his pen, sharpened his ink, and copied the calligraphy treasures.
Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and Lin Miaoyin nodded one after another.
The most annoying thing about working on duty is the back and forth, the dust, the busy day, and when I think about it carefully, I have accomplished nothing.
When the little kid heard this, he couldn't help but whisper:
"Whatever you are afraid of, come on. Xiucai, what you took over today must be all your own cases."
The scholar glanced at the little ghost angrily and said, "Little ghost, hurry up and inhale the incense. Don't talk nonsense."
Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and Lin Miaoyin laughed loudly.
Before I knew it, the day passed.
During this period, Chu Chen went out to handle a case.
The case involved a fight between a ghost cultivator and a monster on the outskirts of Guangping County. Chu Chen went to "break up the fight" and mediate the conflict between the two parties.
At the beginning, Chu Chen communicated with both parties in the fight and mediated the conflict.
As a result, the ghost cultivators and monsters ignored them and continued to fight, and even became more and more violent.
Seeing that the noise is getting louder and louder, the scope of the fighting is getting wider and wider, and it is possible to hurt the people and damage the houses and farmland of the villagers in the suburbs.
As a last resort, Chu Chen led his troops and beat up all the ghost cultivators and monsters.
The two of them were beaten until they knelt down and begged for mercy, and each of them said that they would never dare to cause trouble again.
After being taught a lesson by Chu Chen, one ghost and one demon "enlightened" and laughed away their grudges.
After "Friendly breaking up the fight", Chu Chen's meritorious deeds increased by one level, reaching seventy-three.
But it's a pity that there is no manifestation spell in the Heart Temple.
Wang Ping and Lin Miaoyin also ran their own errands and did not waste a day.
The only unlucky ones are the scholars.
During the next shift, Zhang Xiucai made three business trips in total, all of which were unprovoked cases. He neither got any rest nor did he get anything done. He went back and forth and wasted the whole day.
All of this was unfortunately said by the little devil.
"Little devil, you are really a crow's mouth, but you have really troubled me!"
The scholar complained to the little devil.
The little kid smiled innocently at the scholar.
Immediately, it lowered its head, with a strange and melancholy expression on its face.
But it's a pity that no one noticed the change in the little ghost's expression, and everyone's conversation unknowingly turned to the Ghost Festival.
In two days it will be the Hungry Ghost Festival.
On the first day of the seventh month, local officials pardoned sins and hundreds of ghosts walked at night.
On this day, ghosts and gods in various places will hold large-scale fasting ceremonies to maintain stability.
Monsters and monsters that usually dare not show their faces will take the opportunity to come out and wander around.
Therefore, the most lively place on this day is the ghost markets in various places.
Quang Binh County has many small and large ghost markets, the largest of which is Guang Binh Dilong Ghost Market located in Longling Mountains.
Needless to say, this ghost market was opened by Diyuan Longjun.
The mountains and rivers in the Longling Mountains gather together, making it a famous place of cultivation in Qingzhou. Demons and demons gather there, so the Earth Dragon Chamber of Commerce under Long Jun will not give up this piece of fat.
Throughout the Longling Mountains, there are many ghost markets, large and small, and small ones, but not many can truly become bigger and stronger.
There is no one stronger than Dilong Ghost Market.
Guangping Dilong Ghost Market is just a ghost market under the name of Dilong Chamber of Commerce. It is usually managed by Qingcong, the third prince of Longjun.
"Princess Qingying said that the Guangping Dilong Ghost Market has been very lively in the past two days. Monsters and monks who usually live in the deep mountains have arrived at the ghost market to set up stalls and hunt for treasures. It has been very lively."
Lin Miaoyin and Dragon Girl Qingying were close friends, and they knew the Dilong Ghost Market very well. When someone mentioned the ghost market, she quickly introduced it with a smile.
Chu Chen nodded when he heard this.
He also knew this news. These days, Qingying Longnu often complained in Jiuyou Order that the Ghost Festival was here and people were attracted to the large ghost market. The business of the Longkeng Ghost Market in Xin'an Di was getting more and more popular.
It's getting worse.
Dragon Girl Qingying simply went to Guangping Ghost Market these two days.
"Why don't we go shopping tonight after the office is over?"
Scholars are fascinated by the Guangping Ghost Market.
The turning point in his life started when he missed a calligraphy treasure belonging to a great Confucian scholar in a ghost market. Therefore, he is now very keen on finding treasures in a ghost market.
Wang Ping nodded:
"Okay! The Department of Ghosts and Gods must have some errands to arrange on the Ghost Festival. I'm afraid we won't be free. It would be good to go early."
Lin Miaoyin smiled and nodded in agreement.
She wanted to go, but it was not safe to go alone. She would be happy to go with her colleagues.
Chu Chen had no objection either.
Even if there is no Ghost Festival during the Ghost Festival, he is planning to go to the ghost market in the near future.
First, he had the skeleton of a calamity beast and needed to be disposed of.
The bones of the disaster beast are a good thing.
Even if most of the energy from the source of the disaster is absorbed by the little devil, the skeleton is still valuable.
Many monks practice certain techniques and spells, which are useful in performing certain rituals and can be sold for a lot of money.
Chu Chen has been spending money like water lately, and there is only 7,000 jade coins left in his small treasury.
This seven thousand jade coins seems to be a lot, it is his salary for one or two years.
However, if he frees himself up to spend money, not to mention buying other treasures, just the Bongtian Ruyi Xinxiang and the Soul-Blissing Xinxiang, this little money will not be enough for him to last for three months.
He saved up and sold the bones of the 癙癙 to get a wave of blood.
In addition, Chu Chen also needs to purchase the materials for the [Earth Talisman].
This [earth armor talisman] is not a one-time talisman. You need to choose a good spiritual wood talisman to be refined.
There is no need to use lightning strike jujube wood, other suitable spiritual trees can also be used.
After leaving the office, the "night watch" immortal official took over the errands of the four people.
The four of them went home first to explain themselves, and not long after, everyone gathered outside the city gate.
"Let's go to the ghost market!"
The little devil has a childlike nature and loves to play.
It was the happiest, cheering and excited all the way.
As monks, the four of them had extremely amazing leg strength. As soon as the sunset fell, they arrived at Guangping Dilonggui City hidden in the clouds and mist.
Perhaps Lin Miaoyin had communicated with Long Nu Qingying. When the four of them arrived, Long Nu Qingying immediately sent someone to welcome them in.
Not long after, Chu Chen and the others met the dragon girl Qingying.
Beside Dragon Girl Qingying, there is also a noble gentleman with a handsome face and elegant demeanor.
"I have met the Third Prince Qingcong!"
Chu Chen, Wang Ping, Xiucai, and Lin Miaoyin all bowed and saluted.
