Chapter 80: Fragrant, Violent, Demonic Heart [For Further Reading]
Immortal officials of Dachang, those with rank seven or above can only play on the watch.
Chu Chen only cast down the evil mage from the ninth level, and could not perform his rituals in the Immortal Court.
As a result, Chu Chen had no choice but to send Lu Zhong soldiers and horses to Xin'an County to report the news, informing Deputy Governor Huang Mei and his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
This is a necessary process.
Whenever a "violent ghost" is discovered or suspected to be discovered, it must be reported promptly. It is better to make three thousand mistakes than to commit one.
If the two of them are greedy for merit and delay the report, even if the case is successfully settled in their hands by then, they may be displeased by their superiors.
If anything goes wrong, the two of them will bear a huge responsibility.
Of course, the most important thing is that when the land of Taohua Village learned that the ghosts had dispersed, they immediately sent the Yin soldiers to report the news. The two of them couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.
"Brother Chu, what should we do now? The report is over, should we go to the river first and have a look."
Huang Fugui was ready to move, his eyes full of excitement.
If it is really a "violent ghost" that has just entered the realm and has not yet truly taken shape, for Chu Chen and Huang Fugui, this would be a living and great achievement.
Once the two of them kill this vicious ghost, this achievement can be reported to Guangping County and Qingzhou Ghost and God Department, and they can show their faces in front of many big bosses and gain a sense of presence.
Especially Huang Fugui, he has been admitted to the top rank, but he is currently only a substitute immortal official and has not been able to become a regular official. According to normal circumstances, he will have to work hard for at least a few years before he has a chance to be promoted.
If he can participate in killing the "violent ghosts" and his contribution is not small, there is great hope for him to become a full-time official.
Even if he fails to become a regular at the first time, he can still jump in the queue. The next time he becomes a regular through the competition, he can be ranked in the first echelon and be promoted to the rank of ninth-grade immortal official.
Chu Chen understood Huang Fugui's thoughts, nodded and said:
"Let's go take a look first. If we can find it before reinforcements arrive, it would be best to kill the water ghost."
Before a water ghost matures, it cannot leave the water where it was born.
Therefore, the water ghost must still be in the river.
However, if it is hidden intentionally, it will take some effort to find it with the help of two people.
But no matter what, Chu Chen and Huang Fugui still wanted to give it a try.
Not long after, Chu Chen and the two rushed to the nameless river not far from Taohua Village.
Under the moonlight, the river was sparkling, gurgling, and calm, with no clues at all.
Chu Chen summoned all the soldiers and horses from the jar and searched along the river bank, trying to find some clues.
"Brother Chu, look at me."
Huang Fugui looked quite excited.
Chu Chen nodded. He could understand the excitement of wealth. By seizing this opportunity, he could save a lot of effort.
Huang Fugui kneaded the secret and recited the mantra silently.
"The sky is full of spirit, the earth is spirit, the water is spirit, the fire is spirit, the heaven and earth are the water and fire spirit, the heavenly dog is the great immortal, search the sky and the earth to help me, as urgent as the law."
As Huang Fugui kneaded the hand and recited the mantra, the Tengu Immortal possessed him, and his nose began to twitch.
"Brother Chu, I smell the spirit of the water ghost."
Chu Chen was overjoyed, good guy, he has this ability, why didn't he use it earlier.
"Let's go, follow us."
Huang Fugui led the way, followed by Chu Chen with two hundred soldiers and horses.
The two of them went downstream and followed a tributary of the river to a small lake.
"Right in here."
Huang Fugui pointed to the dark and calm lake, feeling quite excited.
Chu Chen was secretly surprised, this was probably the water where the water ghost was born.
It was a full three miles away from the scene of the incident.
No wonder it is said that "violent ghosts" should be killed as soon as possible.
If it is allowed to grow for a while and its range of activities continues to expand, it will not be that easy to kill.
"Brother Chu, I'll be the vanguard and scare the water ghosts out."
Huang Fugui took out a green jade hairpin from his sleeve with great pain, clasped his hands together and placed it on his chest.
"Please help me, great immortal!"
After saying that, a wave of evil aura swept through him, and Huang Fugui turned into a blue anaconda and crept into the lake, searching for the water ghost aura.
Not long after, the calm lake surface began to roll, and the shrill ghostly howl resounded across the empty wilderness.
Come to think of it, Huang Fugui has already found the water ghost and fought with it.
Seeing this, Chu Chen made a hand and chanted a mantra, summoning the divine general Guan Yunchang.
"Fengdu Langling, the demon general who rules the heavens and the earth, slays the gods and kills the ghosts of Marshal Guan. After hearing this summons, he rushed to the altar to serve the emperor Ziwei's order in the Arctic!"
Tongtian Yudi Guan Yunchang raised his hands: "Master, what are your instructions?"
Chu Chen pointed to the lake and ordered: "Guan Yunchang, the ruler of heaven and earth, leads two hundred troops and horses to help Huang Fugui kill the water ghost!"
"yes!"
Tongtian Yudi Guan Yunchang put his horse on his back and led a group of soldiers and horses into the lake.
It's amazing to say the least. This divine horse, Red Rabbit, can go up to the sky, go down to the ground, gallop on flat ground, and run into water. It's extremely impressive.
"Plop-plop-plop!"
A group of soldiers and horses poured into the lake to participate in the battle, and together with Fugui, they surrounded and suppressed the water ghosts.
Chu Chen stayed on the shore and did not follow.
Speaking of which, this can be considered as Chu Chen has just entered Taoism, his background is not deep, and his mastery of magical powers is not rich enough.
When fighting in the water, he can hardly help.
Rather than going down to cause trouble, it is better to respond on the shore.
Anyway, most of his current strength lies in his soldiers, horses and divine generals.
The real role it plays is no worse than wealth and wealth, and it does not count as soy sauce.
This is also one of the benefits of practicing military skills.
It saves so much effort and worry.
It takes about half a cup of tea.
Chu Chen looked back and saw that there was a light on the horizon in the distance.
After taking a closer look, it turned out to be someone from the County Ghosts and Gods Department.
Master Xu Ping, Taoist priest, didn’t say anything about Huang Mei’s arrival.
Good guy, Taoist Qingyun, Zen Master Liaokong and even Magistrate Xu also came.
Deputy Du Guan Huang Mei is on duty today, and his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, is the head of the County Ghosts and Gods Department. It is their job to rush over here, so they must rush over as soon as possible.
As for Taoist Qingyun, Zen Master Liao Kong and Magistrate Xu, they are all here to grab the credit.
A freshly finished water ghost will definitely not be able to escape from the native waters. Once discovered, it will undoubtedly be meat on the chopping board, and its merits will be fully demonstrated.
As long as people are not stupid, they will definitely not want to miss it in vain.
No matter what, it would be good to get some assists and show off in front of the bosses in Guangping County and Qingzhou.
"Everyone, please slow down. I, Lao Huang, and Xu Du will be in charge. Why do you need to make this trip..."
The figure with yellow eyebrows came from the distant horizon, looking quite anxious.
However, Taoist Qingyun and Zen Master Lokong came over in a hurry.
When he saw Chu Chen by the river, he quickly asked:
"Chu Chen, what's wrong?"
Chu Chen was anxious and just wanted to say something.
The violent rolling in the center of the lake stopped and became calm.
"hiss!"
A red light burst out of the lake.
But he saw General Guan Yunchang coming to Chu Chen with a twisted and trembling black heart.
"The water ghost's violent demonic heart is here, please ask the mage to take a look at it!"
Chu Chen stretched out his hand to take the violent demon heart, feeling a little excited.
This water ghost is really a cruel ghost!
This time, he and Fugui achieved great success.
After receiving the "Volent Demonic Heart", Chu Chen turned to everyone and said:
