"Haha, indispensable!"
The official holding the merit book came over, patted Chen Ke on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chen Ke, I will ask for your attention in the future."
This official was from the fifth rank and had great power. Chen Ke had been in the Yamen for many days and understood some of the ranking of official positions in the Yamen. He quickly said: "My lord, you are joking."
"You will understand later if you are joking or not." The official pinched his beard and left with a smile.
Several surrounding officers gathered around to congratulate Chen Ke. They had seen Chen Ke's power and knew that Chen Ke would be good. However, they did not expect that Chen Ke would be favored by a big shot and nominated for promotion after only working as a helper for a few days.
"Chen Ke, I have to treat you this time!"
"Please, please, when the monthly salary is paid, I will treat you to a drink together." Chen Ke said with a smile.
Chen Ke thought that he was a god. He invited several people to dinner and spent money. He was really a model god!
pride!
Chen Ke thought it might be the noble young master he met in the morning. He told Lord Long Tu about the good deeds he had done.
Chen Ke felt that the noble prince might be a powerful person, or even a high official.
As for how old it is, Chen Ke doesn't know.
In the afternoon, after leaving the office, Chen Ke returned to the inn. Sister Qin was already packing her things.
Chen Ke said: "Sister-in-law Qin, how about I go to the teacher's dojo to stay overnight with me tomorrow, and then we choose a farmyard near the capital and buy it?"
Sister-in-law Qin nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After dinner, Chen Ke went to the ruined temple.
On the road, the wind was howling. Although it was an autumn night in August, it was not very cold. The cold wind blew, so Chen Ke didn't feel the chill, but shuddered.
"It smells so good, what a handsome young man. Do you think my sister is beautiful?"
The voice was thin and soft. It was like the coquettish hum of a child, making people want to hear her say a few more words.
A woman wearing a willow green gauze dress, holding a dim lantern, stood under the willow tree on the roadside.
The woman has a gorgeous appearance, willow eyebrows and red lips, and charming eyes.
"are not you cold?"
Through the light, Chen Ke saw the woman's figure looming, her white and tender skin frozen in the cold wind. He gave up some immoral thoughts and took the initiative to ask the woman if she needed care.
"Cold?" After hearing this, the gauze-clad woman covered her mouth, and Chen Ke quickly turned his head. Don't take this kind of thing seriously.
When the woman saw Chen Ke's appearance, she giggled: "Xiao Langjun, I am indeed a little cold. Are you willing to help my sister..."
"sure."
Chen Ke began to untie his clothes as he spoke.
When the woman in gauze clothes saw Chen Ke coming up and was about to undress, her eyes lit up immediately. She licked her moist red lips with her pink tongue, and called out in a soft and delicate voice: "Little brother, sister needs your help, hurry up." bring it on."
"good!"
Chen Ke said and put his coat on the woman's shoulders.
"It's windy at night, be careful to catch a cold."
Chen Ke said.
Seeing this, the woman in gauze was stunned as if she had seen a ghost, and asked: "You are seizing the good times without any effort, there is no one around, and you are not doing anything serious, what are you doing!"
Chen Ke touched his head, confusing the woman, and said, "Don't you need help? I'll give you clothes. It's such a cold day, and you wear too little."
"It's not cold, not at all."
The woman said and threw Chen Ke's clothes on the ground, then tore open her green willow gauze clothes, dazzled Chen Ke's eyes, and hugged Chen Ke: "Come, sister loves you."
"Girl, respect yourself!"
Chen Ke took two steps back, frightened by the woman's enthusiasm.
When the woman saw Chen Ke and dared to hide, her face immediately turned dark and she said, "Are you a man? What are you hiding from? Hurry up and get down to business. It will be dawn soon."
Chen Ke felt that this woman was a lunatic. He was not someone who took advantage of others when he was doing serious business.
"Girl, I'm not the kind of person you think. You'd better put on your clothes and go home quickly. A friend of mine said that there are scary things around here and it's very dangerous at night." Chen Ke looked around and felt a chill on his back. It seemed like he was being targeted by some terrible demon.
Chen Ke picked up his clothes from the ground, patted the soil on them, and put them on the woman again.
"You...ahem...you really pissed me off."
The woman really wanted to hit Chen Ke with the lantern in her hand.
"Farewell, farewell." Chen Ke said, leaving the woman behind and heading towards the ruined temple.
After Chen Ke left, the gray-haired mouse jumped down from the tree in the distance, looked at the gauze woman and said, "How about it? I told you that I am a just man and will not touch you."
The woman licked the corners of her mouth, tightened her tight clothes, and said, "I like him even more. This kind of man must smell delicious!"
The gray-haired mouse looked at the woman and said seriously: "Brother is my friend. Since I have passed your test, if you dare to take action again, don't blame me for being rude."
"You're welcome? Giggle...little mouse, wait until you grow up before you get arrogant with your sister."
The woman backed away slowly while holding the lantern, and disappeared into the vast night together with the dim light.
"As long as I'm here, I won't let you mess around!"
The gray-haired mouse frowned slightly. Looking at Chen Ke who was about to run away, he quickly chased after him.
The wind is a bit cold, and it’s really unbearable without a coat. Chen Ke thought that when he became an immortal, he would no longer be afraid of the cold.
Not long after leaving, Chen Ke felt that voyeuristic gaze again, hiding from a distance and not coming out, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't scare it. Just pretend it doesn't exist. I'll keep running. It'll be fine when I get to the teacher." Chen Ke lowered his head slightly and ran forward quickly.
"Little brother, why are you running so fast!" An old and withered voice echoed in my ears.
After hearing this, Chen Ke felt chilled and sped up.
"Why are you running!" With a voice that sounded like he was out of breath, Chen Ke felt his collar being grabbed by someone, and then he lifted his toes off the ground and was taken to a tree.
"Well……"
The clothes were on his neck, Chen Ke's feet were not touching the ground, and he had nowhere to use his strength. Even if he wanted to grab the opponent's hand, he couldn't use the strength. He felt like he was being hung from a tree, trying to hang Chen Ke alive. .
"Old fox, stop!"
Chen Ke looked over with difficulty. It was a gray-haired mouse. He came to save Chen Ke.
"Brother Rat, help me."
Chen Ke kept grabbing his hand upwards, but he couldn't grasp the hand behind the collar.
"Little mouse, don't meddle in other people's business. You cultivate your immortality and I will be my demon. We don't interfere with each other. Do you want to fight with me?"
The old voice sounded sadly, just above Chen Ke's head.
"Old fox, he is the apprentice of the old immortal. If you hurt him even a hair, the immortal will blow up your ancestral grave!"
The gray-haired mouse did not take action immediately, but moved out Chen Ke's teacher, Old Man Li, the great god.
"Old Immortal!" The old fox's old voice asked Chen Ke, "Boy, what is your relationship with the old Immortal of Taoism?"
"He is my teacher, and I cultivate immortality with him." Chen Ke said.
"boom."
Chen Ke was thrown from the tree and fell to the ground, making Chen Ke scream in pain.
"For the sake of the old immortal, let's go."
The old fox's voice became quieter and quieter, until finally it was no longer as loud as the wind around him.
The gray-haired mouse immediately came over to help Chen Ke and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"
Chen Ke patted the dust on his body and said, "I don't know what happened today. I encountered a lot of monsters. The old fox who just captured me is also a monster?"
The gray-haired mouse said: "It's a monster, a very powerful monster. Tonight, these monsters feel the spiritual power lingering around your body and want to eat you. That old fox, I am no match for him. You'd better go quickly." See the old immortal, you will be safe if you see the old immortal."
Chen Ke said: "It's so dark outside, you can come with me."
The gray-haired mouse shook his head and said, "No, I don't deserve to see the immortal. Just stay outside."
Seeing that the gray-haired mouse was resolute, Chen Ke did not forcefully drag him to see Old Man Li. After Chen Ke thanked him, he quickly walked to Old Man Li's ruined temple.
As he ran, Chen Ke could feel the voyeuristic eyes following him.
It wasn't until he entered the ruined temple again that the light behind him disappeared.
"What's wrong?"
Old Man Li sat under the light and drank a bowl of herbal tea.
Seeing the yellow light, Chen Ke felt so warm. He said, "I just met a monster."
"Did you kill them?"
Old Man Li asked with a smile.
Chen Ke shook his head, with shame on his face: "I can't beat them."
"You have the invincible method. Although you have not entered the Tao, you are still within the Tao. If you want to take the invincible method, you need to take action and try your true ability." Old Man Li said.
Chen Ke said: "But I don't know Taoism yet, how can I take action?"
Chen Ke only learned Taoism, not Taoism, and didn't know how to take action.
"I forgot, the enemy's Taoism is your Taoism." Old Man Li said with a smile.
Chen Ke mustered up his courage and said, "I'll try again next time I see a monster."
"Yes." Old Man Li nodded with a smile, "Let's practice first."
"Yes!" Chen Ke sat down cross-legged and began to practice. With the teacher here, he was not afraid of anything, and the monsters did not dare to come in.
Old man Li seemed to see what Chen Ke was thinking, smiled, and sat next to him until half an hour later, Chen Ke exhaled and opened his eyes.
"your book."
Old Man Li reached out and touched it, and at some point the book placed under Chen Ke's pillow appeared in Old Man Li's hand.
"Teacher, is this mine?" Chen Ke looked confused. Sister Qin was upstairs. If someone went in, she should be able to see them.
Where did the teacher get his book?
"Have you remembered the above?" Old Man Li asked with a smile.
"remember."
Chen Ke nodded, but as Chen Ke finished speaking, the technique in Old Man Li's hand suddenly began to burn on its own.
"The book is on fire!"
When Chen Ke saw this, he went over to put out the fire.
Old Man Li allowed Chen Ke to take the "Tao" book, but he couldn't extinguish it no matter what. The fire had no heat and could not burn Chen Ke.
"Disciple, the teacher is leaving."
