Master Boyunlei's words gave Chu Chen a new understanding of the world of cultivation.
Guangping County and even other places seem to be relatively peaceful and stable. It is not that everything in the world is peaceful and healthy, but that there are people who are carrying a heavy load and silently fighting against the evil heretics in a battle of wits and courage.
If it were not for the protection of the Celestial Empire and the Department of Ghosts and Gods, the world would have been filled with demons.
Looking back on those days, when the devil had the upper hand and all sentient beings in the world were reduced to livestock, how miserable it was.
The situation in various parts of the world is not stable now.
The devil has revived, and evil cultivators from all over the world are ready to take action. The challenges faced by the court and the fairy court are becoming more and more severe.
Of course, Chu Chen's current Taoist practice is still shallow, and there is no need for him to worry unreasonably for the peace of the world.
Even if the sky falls, there is no need for him to carry it.
Even if he now becomes the counselor of the county capital and starts to get involved in evil and heretical affairs, he does not need to be too nervous.
The main forces fighting against the demonic forces are all the governors, deans and vice deans of each academy.
As the counselor of the county capital, the most important job is actually to help find out information, collect intelligence, run errands and so on.
This is also the reason why the "Councilors of the County Capital" are selected for hunting down monsters with bounties on them.
Each link is carefully considered, and they are not promoted and appointed at will.
After Chu Chen, the first-class deputy leaders, became "counsellors of county capital management", they began to get involved in the affairs of "evil cultivators" and gained a clear understanding of "demonic forces".
.
This is cultivating "all management".
Immortal officials who have no experience in dealing with "demonic forces" and "evil cultivators" are not qualified for the position of "capital governor", taking charge of a party's affairs of demons, demons and gods.
On the first day he took office as "Councilor of the County Capital", the superiors did not arrange specific errands for people like Chu Chen and Wang Ping. They were only asked to read past cases and learn more about the Guangping Demon Alliance.
While looking through the files, Chu Chen only saw two words - "cannibalism".
The files truthfully record numerous crimes committed by evil cultivators, which are too numerous to write down.
Behind each simple number are the lives lost.
After watching it all day, Chu Chen felt depressed, and his good mood as a counselor after taking up his new job in the morning was gone.
In addition to reading the files, Chu Chen and Wang Ping met three colleagues.
Qian San Gua, Yuantong Monk, Xuan Lingzi.
There are five additional county counselors this time, and these three are the other three county counselors.
The five of them came to the county governor's compound in the same batch to run errands, and they naturally became friends with each other. After leaving the office, the five of them rushed to a restaurant in the city for a dinner together.
These three people are all seventh-level Taoist practitioners, starting from the seventh-level immortal officials, and are one level higher than Chu Chen and Wang Ping.
Qian San Gua, whose name is San Qian Tong Gua, was born in the Tong Gua sect. He is good at divination and fortune-telling, foretelling bad luck, Feng Shui fortune telling, deducing heavenly secrets, changing luck and avoiding disasters, and follows Li Guang, the deputy governor, as a counselor.
Qian Sangua is funny, talkative and easy to get along with.
Not long after they met, Chu Chen and Wang Ping had a certain understanding of him.
It is said that this dear man, as his name suggests, will hit three hexagrams every day, which is extremely impressive.
As for which three hexagrams are sure to hit, he can't tell clearly. He can tell fortunes on a whim, and he heard that he can compete with the legendary divine fortune teller.
When the performance is not good, it is similar to the good omen of a little devil, and it is a black fortune.
However, Chu Chen did not dare to underestimate Qian Sangua at all.
Such monks who are proficient in the arithmetic of the Book of Changes have the magical power to deduce heavenly secrets. When encountering such an opponent, even if they have the top escape method [White Crane and Purple Zhi Escape], they will not dare to underestimate them.
Another young monk, Yuantong, was born in Dairi Temple, a Buddhist sect. He had extremely extraordinary magical powers and served as a servant to Zen Master Yi Nian, the deputy governor.
The young monk Yuantong has a simple and honest nature, and his character is like that of a wealthy man, but he is not pedantic, stupid, and kind. He has the heart of a bodhisattva who is compassionate and compassionate, and he also has the angry eyes of a diamond to subdue demons and punish evil.
After a few words of conversation, Chu Chen discovered that the young monk Yuantong was very tolerant of the good and evil of others, but he had very high requirements for himself.
This suits Chu Chen very well.
What he hates the most is "hypocritical people" who kidnap others with their morality and hold others to saintly standards, but have double standards for themselves, be generous and disciplined, and treat others harshly.
For those who have good intentions, stick to their hearts, and always take action.
Chu Chen admired him from the bottom of his heart.
Most of the governors in charge of the Department of Ghosts and Gods in Xianting are Taoist disciples. It is obvious that disciples of the Buddhist sect can be selected as "counselors of county governors" and become candidates for county governors.
The little monk Yuantong is outstanding in all aspects, whether it is his magical power cultivation or his character, so he has been specially trained by the Immortal Court.
The most recent one is Xuan Lingzi.
This dear friend has the greatest background, he was born in the Taixuan Sect, a hidden sect.
According to Wang Ping privately, the method that Xuan Lingzi practices is the "Tai Xuan Treasure Book", which is a real guide to cultivating the truth, maintaining the essence, refining elixirs, and cultivating the truth. It is quite like the ancient monks, and he follows the true cultivation method of the Eight Classics.
The golden elixir avenue of the refining god.
Times have changed.
The pure path of alchemy and cultivation is still feasible, but compared to the mainstream inner alchemy path and external cultivation of talismans, focusing on alchemy and cultivation is a bit out of date and cannot keep up with the changes of the times.
Specializing in alchemy depends too much on qualifications and understanding. Most people who are obsessed with alchemy cannot escape the fate of dust returning to dust and dust returning to dust.
Within a thousand years, there are only a few people who can achieve the golden elixir path and achieve transcendence.
On the other hand, the inner alchemy path and the outer cultivation of talismans do not have such high talent requirements. It can be practiced with a little talent in cultivation, and it is suitable for the majority of monks.
Even if you are not able to attain Taoism and become an immortal, if you practice Taoism and accumulate merit in your daily life, you can hope to become a ghost or god in the world and live forever.
Because of this, Taixuanzong now also intends to involve the Fulu lineage, and constantly sends disciples out of the mountain to practice and accumulate merit.
Immortal Court is extremely welcoming to the disciples of the hidden sect.
These hidden sects' carefully selected disciples are all talented immortal seedlings, and they can stand on their own with a little training.
Xuan Lingzi is the contemporary holy son of Taixuan Sect. His talent in cultivation is extremely outstanding, and he is highly valued by the Immortal Court and cultivated vigorously.
This time, after Xuan Lingzi became the counselor of the county governor, he was directly placed next to the governor, and was personally trained by Han governor. This shows how ordinary he was.
Wang Ping was quite critical of this.
The elders in his family had a close relationship with Du Guan Han Chen. Originally, he was going to follow Du Guan Han, but Xuan Lingzi got there first.
Wang Ping is not a stingy person.
If Xuan Lingzi could behave well and be easy to get along with, he would probably say more.
However, this Xuan Lingzi has an arrogant and aloof temperament and is difficult to get along with.
At a dinner party in a restaurant, Xuan Lingzi always put on airs, consciously possessing the supreme treasure of cultivation, specializing in the "Golden Elixir Avenue", being superior to others, and vaguely looking down on others.
Halfway through the meal, Xuan Lingzi left in a hurry, saying that "everyone has an errand to do".
In fact, the other four people knew very well that since these people had just taken office today, the supervisor would definitely not explain the specific assignments.
With so many people in charge of the compound, there is really no shortage of five of them.
"Bah~ What are you pretending to be? You are so good at specializing in Alchemy. Why are you going to the Immortal Court to practice martial arts? Why are you involved in the Fu Lu lineage? I really don't know what to say!"
Wang Ping was indignant and looked unhappy.
Chu Chen smiled. Having lived in two lifetimes, he was no longer surprised by this.
"What he's saying is that he's too pretentious. What's so great about just following him? What's so great about being born in a hidden sect? I'll tell him his fortune and see who he is among the best!"
Qian Sangua held a copper coin in his hand and made a fortune. Immediately, his face flushed and he was quite excited:
"He's been having bad luck lately and everything has gone wrong, hahaha~"
Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and young monk Yuantong looked surprised.
Is it true or false, so evil?
"Of course it is true. On a whim, this hexagram will come true eight to nine times out of ten."
"Senior brother, I also see the aura of disaster gathering on his head."
The little devil also jumped out happily.
Chu Chen was startled, good fellow, this Xuan Lingzi seems to be doomed.
Double ruling, even bad luck can’t escape.
Qian Sangua was surprised:
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Chu, can a brat like you predict bad luck?"
Wang Ping grabbed the words and said: "Friend of the three hexagrams, you don't know, the little devil is famous for his crow's mouth. He is very effective in foretelling bad luck, but not good omens. He is similar to you, and he always predicts bad hexagrams."
, very mysterious.”
Qian San Gua, the kid's face turned dark when he heard this.
Can you speak?
"Hahaha~"
Chu Chen and Wang Ping laughed, and even the little monk Yuantong also smiled shyly.
Because of Xuan Lingzi's relationship, the four of them became more and more familiar with each other.
After having enough wine and food, everyone dispersed.
Chu Chen took the "sucking food scent" home after sucking a full little devil.
As soon as he returned to the pure practice room, Chu Chen had a thought in his mind and took out the Nine Nether Token from the Immortal Cave of the Bracelet.
