Chapter 6 Are you willing to be an immortal official?
There is no reason why Chu Chen did not doubt the Taoist priest.
The spells such as "Five senses to drive away ghosts and gods" and "Take off clothes and belts" all come from "Mr. Jiuhou's Collection of Jiu Lao Immortal Mansion". You don't need to think too much, they come from the same source.
These two spells must have been learned by the Taoist Master.
The Taoist priest looked at him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was old-fashioned, serious and serious, and he never expected that he had such ability.
There are such weird spells, but what about advanced spells? Are there also...
Good guy, you really don’t show your real face!
Chu Chen turned his head to observe the Taoist priest from time to time.
Serious and serious, no clues at all
Tsk tsk tsk!
Who can see this?
Chu Chen's face was full of weirdness.
Taoist Priest, if you had told me earlier, you would have known that I would have knelt down on the spot to become my disciple a few days ago...
...
Yin Bing's feet were very fast, and in a short time, he passed the boundary of Qiu Lu Mountain.
On a mini ghost sedan, the little ghost puckered his lips and looked quite depressed.
"Master, why didn't you reveal your identity just now? The mountain god would be scared to death if he knew your identity as an immortal official."
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death, and ghosts and gods are no exception.
The God of Qiulu Mountain was trained as a mountain god by a spirit in the mountain. He was fortunate enough to be granted the title of eighth-grade mountain god by the Celestial Empire, which was one level lower than the Taoist priest who was a seventh-grade immortal official.
Taoist Xu Ping shook his head:
"Heaven has its own rules. Qiu Lushan is not in Xin'an County. Even if I have a higher status than him, I have no right to directly govern him. If he sells my face, my words will count. If he doesn't sell my face, there is nothing he can do."
The little devil was dissatisfied.
"Master, you are the judge of the Arctic Exorcist Academy. You have the authority to examine the merits and demerits of ghosts and gods. How dare he neglect you?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping fell silent when he heard this.
He didn't take it to heart that Qiu Lushan God left without saying goodbye.
He only cares about one question - is the Deer God meritorious or guilty?
Deep down in his heart, he did not agree with the theory of "deer god's blessings".
However, after thinking about it carefully, I feel that there is some truth in what the mountain god said.
After all, the mountain god did provide shelter and protection to the villagers.
Without the mountain god, the villagers in the mountains would probably be invaded by demons and suffer even worse consequences.
There are many examples of demons and demons in troubled times and frequent disasters everywhere outside. The theory of "good fortune" mentioned by the Deer God is not without foundation.
To a certain extent, the mountain people near this place are lucky, at least they have a place to live.
If the mountain god is punished on the grounds of “exploiting the people” and the mountain god bears a grudge, and the villagers suffer disaster in the future, wouldn’t it be a good intention to do something bad?
I have to say that what the Deer God said made people depressed and angry, but it was also so realistic.
For a moment, a look of helplessness flashed across Xu Pingdao's long eyes.
While he was thinking about it, when he saw Chu Chen with a strange look on his face and looking around frequently, the Taoist Master suddenly thought about it and asked.
"Xiao Chu, what do you think?"
Chu Chen was still immersed in the magical world of magic. When he heard the Taoist priest ask a question, he blurted out without thinking.
"Taoist Master, you are so naughty."
Taoist priest and kid: "???"
Xu Pingdao was confused and looked unhappy. What is this?
"Ahem~"
Chu Chen coughed: "Slip of the tongue, I meant that you are unique and a role model for our generation of monks."
The Taoist priest frowned, ignored the mess, and asked in an examination tone:
"Pindao asked you, what do you think of Qiu Lu Mountain's divine blessings?"
When Chu Chen heard this, the playful smile on his face disappeared.
This is when Lao Xu is testing him.
Normally, he wouldn't have paid much attention to it, but suddenly he discovered that the Taoist Priest was a treasured Taoist priest with countless good things at the bottom of the box, so he had to behave well.
"The theory of Qiu Lushan's blessings from the gods is sophistry and shameless!"
When Chu Chen said this, he was categorical, as if he had closed a coffin and concluded.
Maybe it scratched the inner itch of the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest suddenly became interested.
"go on."
Chu Chen's eyes were deep and he said quietly:
"Heaven and earth have no heart, they only take living things as their heart. Ghosts and gods have no spirit, but people believe in them and have spirit."
"Divines such as the God of Earth, Hebo Mountain, City God, etc. can live forever only by being worshiped by people with incense. They should protect the environment and the people, and protect the place."
"Rights and obligations are complementary to each other. Gods have the authority of heaven and earth, are immortal, have great power, and enjoy endless rights. They should fulfill their obligations. How can we call obligations a blessing?"
"The people worship him, so he is superior. It is not because he is superior, the people worship him. You cannot reverse cause and effect, right and wrong!"
Chu Chen talked eloquently and analyzed the essence of the matter head-on.
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded repeatedly when he heard this, feeling quite surprised.
He also asked casually out of frustration, not expecting to find out what the truth was.
However, I never expected that this boy would be so insightful at such a young age.
For a time, the Taoist priest became more and more interested.
"Xiao Chu, what you said is right, every word is precious."
"Then tell me, Qiulu Mountain God has indeed protected a people. Compared with other gods who have not done anything and have neglected their duties, it is already good. To be honest, it can be regarded as meritorious. As a judge of the Arctic Exorcism Court,
When assessing the merits and demerits of ghosts and gods, do you think they should be judged as having merit or demerit?"
Taoist Xu Ping looked at the boy in front of him with great interest.
This issue is quite general and involves many aspects, among which scale is the most difficult to control.
If Chu Chen hadn't made some sharp and shocking remarks earlier, he would definitely not use this question to embarrass others.
However, at this moment, Taoist priest Xu Ping was quite looking forward to how the other party would respond.
Chu Chen smiled disdainfully.
"It's not how good Qiu Lushan God is, it's all about the support of his peers."
"How to say?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping became interested. Although he had never heard of the term "peer support", after careful consideration, he could guess its meaning.
Chu Chen said decisively:
"The behavior of Qiulu Mountain God is a naked act of exploitation and oppression. The people's belief in and worship of the mountain god is a voluntary and spontaneous act. He uses the power of the gods to oppress, intimidate the people to believe in him, worship him, and exploit him day and night. In essence,
This is an act of exploitation and oppression, which is similar to the excessive taxes imposed by the government."
"The reason why I think the mountain god has merit is because other ghosts and gods have done more. Against the background of his peers, Qiulu Mountain God appears to be kind and kind. That tiger probably also thinks he is great, so he can tell the blessings."
theory."
"As for how to evaluate merits and demerits, hehe, the Taoist Priest already knows that in his mind."
"The Qiulu Mountain God's move was on the edge of the laws of heaven and ghosts. Considering the current situation of the Dachang Dynasty, the Mountain God's move was not illegal, but it was just a violation of personal ethics."
After saying that, Chu Chen said with some nostalgia:
"Oh, if Taizu were alive, humanity would flourish, the world would be subjugated, and the world would be pure, how would the gods and ghosts dare to dance around? Taizu suppressed them with one punch, and hung the god card at the city gate as a warning to others!"
Shocking and enlightening!
Taoist Master Xu Ping, the little kid was stunned when he heard this, and sat up blankly, as if he was recalling Chu Chen's words.
Especially the last sentence, I can't help but feel excited when I imagine the scene when Taizu was alive and the gods and ghosts in the world were subdued.
Even the Yin soldiers carrying the ghost sedan were trembling with fear.
a long time.
Taoist Xu Ping calmed down his excitement and his eyes fell on Chu Chen again.
"Chu Chen, are you willing to be an immortal official?"
