Chapter 426: Virtue without matching the position is all vain
"Amitabha, the Zeng family harbors evil intentions and commits many evil deeds. Fortunately, we met Taoist Friend Chu. Otherwise, I'm afraid they would still be at large."
Zen Master Yichen couldn't help but sigh as he plucked the rosary beads in his hand.
Jiuqiu Mountain Man grinned:
"It's true that the Zeng family doesn't want to offend anyone, except the hard-nosed fellow Daoist Chu. This is not about digging a hole to bury themselves!"
Everyone in the palace couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
After the case of "The Zeng family fell into the devil's way" intersected with Chu Chen, the whole meeting became more and more lively.
Everyone couldn't help sighing and sighing at the wonderful fate of the world.
Taoist Yun Lei was the most emotional. Personally speaking, he was a little grateful to the Zeng family for kidnapping Chu Chen. Otherwise, the Lingshan Sect would have missed a fairy seedling, let alone what it is today.
Of course, more people can see Chu Chen's growth trajectory from the "Zeng Family Case".
In less than three years, he has gone from a mortal with no strength to a sixth-level Taoist cultivation level, and is in charge of the affairs of the Huanghao Academy. This situation is truly enviable.
For a time, the vice presidents of each hospital looked at Chu Chen with more and more complicated eyes.
After the interlude, everyone's conversation quickly returned to the main topic, returning to the remnants of the Zeng family.
The remnants of the Zeng family in Guangping turned to the Demon Sect and caused trouble for one side. This was undoubtedly a sign of contempt for the Dachang Dynasty. The Immortal Court could not tolerate the other side's arrogance and provocation.
After discussing with everyone, Du Guan Han Chen ordered:
"There is an order from the Immortal Court to order us, the Ghost and God Department of Qingzhou County, to apprehend the remnants of the Zeng family as soon as possible to dampen the spirit of the demon sect thieves. All the four courts in the east, west, north, and south of this case will use snacks to try to capture the remnants of the Zeng family as soon as possible."
"Respect the metropolitan laws and regulations."
Li Guang, Taoist Yunlei, Zen Master Yichen, and the people of Jiuqiu Mountain all bowed their hands in salute.
The meeting in the side hall discussed other matters, and then everyone dispersed.
Chu Chen did not leave immediately, but followed Han Chen to the Du Guan study room.
"I heard that you are so popular in the Imperial City Taoist Academy that you even overshadow the immortal seedlings that are direct descendants of the great Immortal Sects. My master and senior brother are full of praise for you, which makes me a little envious."
Han Chen smiled and led Chu Chen to sit down, and joked.
Chu Chen smiled: "Thank you to Han Duguan for your support. Thanks to Senior Yulou and Senior Chonglou for looking after me, I can make such great progress."
Han Chen waved his hand: "Practitioners, don't pay attention to false etiquette. Now that you have entered the sixth level of Taoism, you and I are fellow Taoists. Just call us Taoist friends."
Chu Chen respected his old boss Han Chen, but he was not a strict, pedantic person. As an enlightened person, he was more free and easy-going than others.
Seeing that Han Chen was not being coy, he smiled and held his hands in his hands:
"Fellow Daoist Han!"
Han Chen nodded, quite satisfied with Chu Chen's free and easy nature, and asked with a smile:
"How do you feel about returning to the County Ghosts and Gods Division?"
Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh:
"It's good. I met a lot of acquaintances and encountered familiar things. Speaking of which, Zeng's family has done me a terrible job. If I hadn't met my master, I would have either been working on a farm or turned into a human being.
The manure moistens the fruits and vegetables."
Han Chen smiled casually: "This time you can retaliate openly and openly, and you can spend some time on this case."
"I think so too."
...
After leaving Du Guan's study, Chu Chen went to Du Guan's North Courtyard to meet the people from Jiuqiu Mountain.
Jiuqiu Shanren was Chu Chen's old boss. He was quite kind and encouraged him and gave him guidance on various matters in Huanghaoyuan.
After paying homage to the Jiuqiu Mountain Man, Chu Chen went to pay homage to the master, Taoist Boyunlei. After doing this, he went to Huanghaoyuan.
Upon entering Huanghaoyuan, the deputy dean of Huanghaoyuan and others, headed by Lin Wuqing, led various groups of immortal officials to welcome Chu Chen, the leader, in the meeting hall. The scene was quite lively.
When he first entered Huanghaoyuan, Chu Chen didn't make any comments when he came up. Everything was as usual.
He settled down first.
As the top leader of Huanghaoyuan, Chu Chen has an independent courtyard in Huanghaoyuan, with a clean room for practice, a study room, a reception hall, etc.
There are formation restrictions in the courtyard, and privacy and safety are guaranteed. You can live in Huanghaoyuan for a long time, run errands and practice at the same time.
Chu Chen did not ask his servants to clean up the house for him. Instead, he summoned soldiers and asked his troops to clean up the house for him.
Compared with the guards in the cheese department, the soldiers and horses under his command understand his habits better.
Chu Chen was very relieved to leave it to the soldiers and horses.
"Senior Brother Chu, you surprised us today."
"That's right, Brother Chu, you didn't tell us when you came back. It's so embarrassing."
After the vice president of Huanghaoyuan and the heads of classes A, B, C and D asked for instructions and reports, Zhang Xiucai and Lin Miaoyin came hand in hand.
"This is none of my business. I came back to Guangping from the Imperial Taoist Temple a few days ago, and I came to see you as soon as possible. Unfortunately, you were out on business."
Chu Chen smiled and led the two of them to sit down and made tea for them himself, without using others' hands.
The three of them seemed very happy and excited to meet their friends again, and they exchanged pleasantries.
The scholar was still as coquettish as before. He flicked his folding fan and said: "Brother Chu, you have become a sensation this time. Many people in our Guangping County Ghost and God Department are jealous and say sarcastic words. Please be careful."
Lin Miaoyin also nodded and said angrily: "Yes, they are simply unreasonable. Senior Brother Chu came back from the Imperial Taoist Academy and his promotion is as it should be. Everything is reasonable and compliant. They insist that you are in charge of Han Chendu.
The relationship between Yunlei and Deputy Governor is really stupid."
Seeing the indignant looks of his two former friends, Chu Chen felt warm in his heart, smiled, and said:
"It's okay, let them talk."
Chu Chen didn't pay much attention to the noise from the outside world.
Zhang Xiucai and Lin Miaoyin were filled with emotion when they saw Chu Chen taking his time.
Although the three of them talked very harmoniously, as if they were back to the beginning, they still clearly felt that something was different.
It's not that the friendship has faded, but that the horizons, cognition, etc. are different.
What is a Taoist couple? A Taoist couple is someone who is a fellow Taoist and can discuss the Tao and learn from each other.
Otherwise, they are just ordinary friends.
Exited the Huangyuan study room.
Lin Miaoyin couldn't help but squeeze her pink fist and said: "I have to break through to the seventh level quickly, otherwise I will be pulled further and further away by Senior Brother Chu and Qingying."
The scholar, who has always been informal, also nodded in a rare serious manner:
"Well said, I can't be thrown too far away. I decided to retreat for a few days. It just so happened that I just had some insights when I went out a few days ago..."
...
Chu Chen sent his two friends away with a smile on his face.
He could feel the fighting spirit and vigor exuding from the two of them, and couldn't help but feel funny secretly.
It seemed that everyone around him was troubled by him.
He seems to be that catfish... Bah, what a metaphor.
Chu Chen shook his head, shook away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and got down to business.
Among cultivators, he sought employment in the Immortal Court in order to accumulate merit and merit. The real power of the immortal position was a carrot and a trap. He was promoted to the yellow dean and got the opportunity to cultivate merit. Others missed an opportunity and said something.
Gossip is inevitable.
He doesn't care. He doesn't care.
However, he would naturally not fail to act. Han Chen asked him to pay more attention to the "Remnants of the Zeng Family" case. In addition to revenge, he also wanted to take the opportunity to establish his authority.
If you want to secure a yellow title, you must have merit as support.
Without virtue, everything is in vain.
It just so happened that the remnants of the Zeng family were making a big fuss in Guangping County, and the Immortal Court paid attention to it. The Guangping County Ghosts Department, East, West, North, and South Courts were all paying attention. If he could make a difference in this regard, it would undoubtedly be of great help to him to take over Huanghaoyuan.
“It’s not easy to be the dean with a yellow title~”
The Guangping County Ghosts and Gods Department and even the surrounding counties are searching for the "remnants of the Zeng family". He has just entered Huanghaoyuan and has a shallow foundation. Logically speaking, he cannot compete with others.
"Fortunately, I had already laid out my plans in the Longling Mountains."
Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
His only advantage is Dog Brother Lao Liu and the Mutual Aid Association.
Right now, his brothers are all over the hills of Longling Mountain, and the remnants of the Zeng family have joined the Demon Sect to escape into the mountains. The mutual aid association may be able to bring him useful clues.
In addition, he had to ask his dog brother Lao Liu to find out information about the remnants of the Qian Yin Sha Sect of the Demon Sect for him. If he guessed correctly, the Tongtian Dafa [Vajra Spiritual Power Sword Technique] was still in the hands of the remnants of the Qian Yin Sha Sect.
