Chapter 57: Are the Dukes of the Manchu Dynasty sacks of wine and rice?
Xin'an County Ghosts and Gods Division Prison.
Chu Chen had just put the Bone Demon into the prison and was about to leave the prison.
As a result, they ran into Taoist Xu Ping, Zen Master Liao Kong and others who were coming in a hurry.
“Everyone who’s seen you doesn’t care!”
"Xiao Chu, there is no need to be polite."
Huang Mei patted Chu Chen's shoulder familiarly: "Take us quickly to see the white bone demon. Is it still alive?"
"It's still alive, it just suffered heavy injuries and its soul is still there."
Chu Chen nodded, turned back, and led the way.
Not long after, a group of people hurriedly entered the Ghosts and Gods Division cell.
"Everyone who has seen it will take care of it."
The guards guarding the prison saluted one after another, but several of them ignored them and went straight to the cell where the Bone Demon was held.
"Hey~ This is actually a ninth-grade white bone demon!"
Priest Qingyun saw the white skeleton covered with yellow symbols in the cell, his face full of surprise.
Huang Mei took a closer look and showed surprise.
"It's really a ninth-grade white bone demon. His Taoist cultivation level seems to be quite low. It doesn't look like he's just entering the grade... Xiao Chu, you caught this?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Chen.
At first, they heard that Chu Chen had captured a white-bone demon, and they subconsciously thought that the white-bone demon's Taoist cultivation level should not be too high.
After all, Chu Chen had just entered Taoism and entered the first level not long ago. His background was too weak. He probably didn't even master one or two offensive spells. How could he defeat a ninth-level demon who had practiced hard for many years.
Not to mention capturing people alive.
Chu Chen nodded and was about to say something.
Taoist Xu Ping waved his hand, stopped Chu Chen, and ordered:
"Okay, little devil, come out."
The little ghost jumped out of the bookcase behind Chu Chen and said:
"Hey, sir, please call me."
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded: "Little devil, tell me, how do you catch monsters?"
The little kid looked confused, "Catch the monster, what kind of monster should I catch?"
The monster was caught by my senior brother!
What does it have to do with me!
The little kid looked at his master.
Little devil: "(*?▽?*)"
Taoist Xu Ping: "!!!"
The kid understood instantly: "Oh, sir, I caught him. I used the secret technique of [Transformation into God], my sword skills to communicate with gods, and my swords to kill me. I chased this bone demon for dozens of miles, and finally captured it alive and captured it."
Bring to justice!"
Telling these things, the little ghost boy puffed up his chest and looked so proud, not to mention how impressive he was.
Taoist Qingyun, Zen Master Liaokong, Huang Mei and others suddenly realized what he said.
As for the little ghost boy, they also know these days that he can foretell misfortune and has the talent for cultivation, so he can be called the best ghost pet.
This performance is not surprising.
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded, and then said: "This ninth-grade white-bone demon is a big fish, and it is of great importance. Everyone present is not allowed to reveal this matter to the outside world, otherwise, he will be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
Everyone was shocked and expressed their disbelief.
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly and continued: "For the sake of confidentiality, I will personally interrogate this ninth-grade white-bone demon, so there is no need for a joint trial by the Ghosts and Gods Division."
"this..."
Qingyun Taoist and Zen Master Lokong frowned slightly: "Xu Duguan, this is not in line with the rules."
Taoist priest Xu Ping's attitude is quite firm and there is no doubt: "There are many people with mixed eyes. If someone leaks the secret, who among you will be responsible? Follow the authority in urgent matters. The rules are set for better handling of cases."
"yes!"
Taoist Qingyun and Zen Master Liaokong naturally did not dare to take responsibility for this, so they nodded in acquiescence.
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded: "Not only that, everyone who knows about this matter today will be summoned immediately, and you three team leaders will be responsible for supervision. Don't let the news leak out!"
It is said that three people are allowed to supervise their subordinates, but in reality, three classes are allowed to supervise each other.
"Xu Du is in charge, then who will catch the monster?"
Xu Duguan said slowly: "The County Duguan attaches great importance to this case. He is personally investigating the matter. If clues can be found, the superiors will send people to solve the case and close the net. This matter is not a trivial matter. Please understand."
"Yes, it doesn't matter!"
The other three vice-deputies said nothing more and nodded one after another.
The impact of this case was too great, involving hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. They did not dare to expect to achieve great success. If they could successfully solve this case, their contribution was not small.
After saying that, Taoist Xu Ping collected the bones on the ground and left with Chu Chen.
Soon, the master and the apprentice arrived at the back hall of Guishensi Yamen.
"Xiao Chu, don't go home during this period. You live in this courtyard with the concierge and the Zhou family and practice well."
When they came to a deserted place, Taoist Master Xu Ping gave instructions.
Chu Chen nodded and had no objection. He had no requirements on where to live, as long as he could live there.
"Sir, my senior brother caught the monster. I was asleep at the time and didn't have time to take action. You think too highly of me."
The little ghost jumped out of the bookcase and jar, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, I know you weren't the one who caught me. I don't know how capable you are. When will you learn the secret technique of [Transformation into God] and your sword skills are unparalleled?"
Taoist Xu Ping glanced at the little guy angrily.
He naturally knew that it was his apprentice who captured the monster.
Others may think that my apprentice Chu Chen is just lucky and got promoted to the higher level by chance. He has only been practicing for a short period of time and does not have any magic powers that he can use at all.
But Taoist Master Xu Ping knew very well that just by relying on the high-grade divine general Guan Yuanshang, the ordinary ninth-grade monsters were no match for his apprentice.
The little devil probably didn't even sense the crisis, and the Bone Demon was subdued.
"Hey hey hey"
The little kid giggled. Although he was scolded, he just "showed his holiness in front of others" and it felt so good to be in the limelight.
It is still happy now.
Chu Chen smiled and said casually:
"Master, it seems that this Bone Demon is here for me. The Lady of the Bones has offered a reward of three thousand jade coins for my head."
There was no trace of surprise on Xu Ping's face, and he snorted meaningfully:
"Well, I know about this. I'm afraid your identity was leaked by someone who wanted to use you as bait. Huh! A bunch of drunkards and ricebags occupying the latrine and doing nothing, have the nerve to make such a request!"
Speaking of this, Taoist Master Xu Ping, who was usually good at cultivating qi, rarely used foul language.
The County Ghosts and Gods Department, Xin'an County Ghosts and Gods Department, and County Magistrate Xu had previously tried to trick Chu Chen into acting as bait.
Xiaozhi uses emotion and reason, and the safety and life of millions of people can be used as an excuse to persuade him and let his apprentice Chu Chen be used as bait.
He refused sternly without hesitation.
My disciple is just a fledgling who has just entered the spiritual world and knows nothing. Why should he bear the burden of millions of people?
Disciple Chu Chen's contribution to the entire case has been great enough.
It was he who revealed the secret of the Bone Lady's soul-stealing case, and he was already braver than anyone else.
He has already endured too much pressure that he should not bear, and no one has the right to ask him to do more.
If the life and death of millions of people depend on a mere young man, why don't all the princes and high-ranking officials in the Immortal Court abandon their cultivation and go home to farm?
What do I want you to do?
"Okay, Xiao Chu, you should practice well here first. Before the Bone Lady is arrested and brought to justice, you must not reveal your strength. If anyone advises you to think about Yunyun for the sake of the people, don't listen to their nonsense. In this huge world,
There is no need for you, a junior, to carry it! Are all the princes in the dynasty carrying their wine bags and rice bags?"
After giving the instructions, Taoist Master Xu Ping turned around and left without waiting for Chu Chen to speak.
Chu Chen looked at the back of his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, who was walking forward with his head down, and felt warm in his heart.
Presumably, Master must have been under tremendous pressure for this!
Perhaps, his persistence will even affect his own future.
Under the dark night, Taoist Master Xu Ping's figure grew longer and taller.
