After leaving the Chenghuang Temple, it was still early.
Chu Chen was focused on practicing magic [Borrowing Land to Increase Steps], so without saying a word, he took the little devil out of the city to collect soil.
He first took a liter of soil on the outskirts of the city, then put a piece of armor on himself, silently recited the cloud-riding mantra, and rushed to the end of the city a hundred miles away, where he took another liter of soil.
Two liters of soil were packed separately and placed in the bracelet fairy cave.
"Hey, senior brother, have you mastered the spell [Pingkai Fairy Cave]?" The little ghost boy was quite surprised.
Chu Chen nodded: "This is natural. This spell is very suitable for me. It can be practiced quickly."
The little kid looked envious: "Brother, I also want to practice this magic, but I'm too stupid. I didn't learn it after learning it for a long time. In the end, my master gave me a small fairy cave. The space inside is too small and I can't put anything in it."
thing."
Chu Chen smiled: "It's okay, take your time, senior brother, my fairy cave is not big."
The kid nodded and said with emotion: "Senior brother, you are really talented. You have started to learn spells [Borrowing Ground and Adding Steps] again. I have learned all these spells, but unfortunately I have not mastered them, so I am not even willing to teach me."
"Hahaha~" Chu Chen smiled and touched the little ghost boy's head: "Now your main focus is on practicing the secret skills of ghost Dao. Don't be greedy. Senior brother learns it first. I will teach you well in the future and make you better."
It’s the church!”
"Um!"
The kid nodded solemnly.
...
When the two returned to the shanty town outside the city, it was getting dark.
Today, Xu Ping, the busy Taoist priest, left the office very early. Chu Chen took the little ghost home and happened to bump into him at the entrance of the alley, under the willows on the bank.
"Master~"
"Um!"
The two of them went home together.
On the way, Zai Chuchen explained the matter of the little ghost girl Zhou Xiaoyu.
"Well, the handling is good! Humans and ghosts have different paths. If the ghost does not have the talent for cultivation, the evil and murderous spirit is not strong enough to be used as a soldier, and cannot give others a future, then it cannot be raised."
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded repeatedly, quite agreeing with his apprentice's handling.
Many monks rely on the art of raising ghosts and raise ghosts to drive them. They never consider the ghosts, but only enslave the ghosts to satisfy themselves. What's more, they raise ghosts to make money and kill themselves, etc.
This is undoubtedly a sign of falling into heretical or even evil ways.
Serious magicians also raise ghosts, but they often make pacts with the ghosts under their command, promising them a future that is upright, upright, and without any gloomy air.
The master and apprentice were greeted by the concierge and came to the backyard talking and laughing.
"Master, have all the demons and demons in the White Bone Empress been wiped out?"
After talking about his own affairs, Chu Chen asked about the most sensational event in the Ghosts and Gods Department today.
There was a lot of news outside, and all the colleagues in the Ghosts and Gods Department were spitting and talking as if they had experienced it themselves.
However, Chu Chen was doubtful.
If you want to talk about first-hand information, it’s from my master.
"That's right. We captured a lot of monsters this time, and even the White Bone Empress was killed by a divine power from the sky."
Taoist priest Xu Ping's eyes were long and full of thoughts.
Chu Chen was stunned, what do you mean, then, was it destroyed?
"Master, is the Bone Lady not dead? Or is there something important that slipped through the net? Is there any hidden danger?"
"Not really."
Taoist priest Xu Ping shook his head: "The White Bone Empress was personally attacked by the governor of the county. Naturally, she would not be allowed to escape. According to the intelligence, all the demons' henchmen were killed, and not a single one escaped."
Chu Chen was quick in thinking and quickly guessed the hidden meaning of his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
"Master, things are going so smoothly, are you worried?"
"Boys can be taught!" Taoist Master Xu Ping looked at his apprentice with admiration and said:
"Don't underestimate monsters. Monsters are the best to kill for the first time. At that time, they have no brains and nothing but strength. But after killing them several times without killing them, the monsters become extremely smart.
Hard to kill."
Taoist priest Xu Ping sighed: "This Bone Lady has been lurking in many places in Guangping County, especially in our Xin'an County for several years. She has stolen countless souls without being discovered. This shows that this monster is no small matter."
"This time, it went so smoothly, far beyond my expectations."
"I thought I could catch one or two of the demons I was familiar with and destroy a few of their strongholds, which would be considered a great success. But in the end, I caught them all and not a single one was left. It's strange. It's so strange."
"This case went as smoothly as a military rehearsal on the battlefield."
Taoist Xu Ping knew that his apprentice had always been steady and not the kind of person who couldn't keep secrets, so he didn't have much scruples and expressed his worries one by one.
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly, cleared his thoughts, and continued:
"Master, what you said is true. Speaking of which, even if White Bone Lady hates me to the core, for the sake of the overall situation, she will not rush to attack me. It is too easy for her to expose her flaws and fall into our hands.
trap."
"That's right, even if I attack you, I will definitely think of a foolproof plan to ensure that if the monster who killed you fails and is caught, the fire will not be burned on her."
"Master, you said that the governor of the county killed the White Bone Empress with his own hands. This can't be false. Then, will the White Bone Empress have developed the magical power of avatars, and this is abandoning the car to protect the commander?"
"This is what I worry about as a teacher..."
Chu Chen, Taoist Master Xu Ping, you say something and I say something.
After the exchange, both of them fell into silence.
Upon closer inspection, there are loopholes everywhere.
The other party's revenge on Chu Chen may just be a reason for "the golden cicada to escape its shell".
Perhaps, when the reward for Chu Chen's identity began, the other party had the intention to quit.
All the demons thrown in front of me, including the Bone Lady, were all abandoned, and they were "deliberately" thrown to Guangping County and Xin'an County.
After all, if they don't "abandon" these things, the imperial court will not let them go, and they will never have peace.
Now that this has happened, the real "White Bone Empress" may have escaped long ago and is dormant in cultivation.
It’s scary to think about it!
"Master, are those big monsters so powerful?"
Chu Chen had goosebumps on his skin. He couldn't tell whether this Bone Lady was strong or not at the moment, but her insidiousness and cunningness left a deep impression on him.
This is the monster, the monster that brings trouble to the world.
He is ruthless, ruthless to outsiders, ruthless and decisive to his own people, and even to himself. He is not sloppy or indecisive at all.
Taoist priest Xu Ping patted his apprentice on the shoulder, comforted and encouraged:
"That's not true. Most monsters are not that difficult to deal with, but the real monsters should not be underestimated. In order to kill monsters, in addition to having magical powers, wisdom and optimism are also indispensable."
"Um!"
Chu Chen nodded and said leisurely: "After all, they are just flies in the shadows, and they cannot get on the stage. We monks will kill one by one when we see them. We will kill them until their monster heads are rolling, and we will kill them with fear! The world will be pure.
Already."
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly: "That's good! Maybe today we, the master and the disciple, are just worrying blindly, and the White Bone Empress is completely dead."
"I hope so!"
Chu Chen smiled, no matter what, this matter can be considered a good thing.
At least, Xin'an County and Guangping County are free from the disaster of "bones stealing souls".
As seventh-grade and ninth-grade immortal officials, the master and the disciple have already done what they can do, with a clear conscience, and it is useless to think too much.
When the topic came to an end, Master Xu Ping showed a rare smile on his face:
"Xiao Chu, you have made a great contribution this time. Even the governor of the county will remember you, and you will be rewarded a lot by the superiors."
When Chu Chen heard this, he immediately became energetic.
Good guy, everything is imaginary, only the reward is the most real.
