Lu'an County covers a large area, plus the farmland area that the [Extradition Envoy] and [Soul Envoy] can manage.
Even though the [Extradition Envoy] and [The Soul Seducer], as ghost messengers, have the ability to enter and exit the gap between the Yin and Yang worlds and travel through the earth's veins, they can travel very fast, and it takes a lot of time to complete a circle.
Milo secretly calculated and said in his mind: 'Compared with [Seducer], [Extradition] is faster and has a wider viewing angle. However, [Seducer] is slightly slower in speed and perception range. , but obviously more combat effective. Instead, the two can work separately. The faster [Extradition Envoy] travels around the county to prevent problems in the city, while the more powerful [Soul Envoy] is outside the county, guarding the fields. '
Thinking like this, Milo controlled two ghosts again and walked around Lu'an County.
At this time, the sky had darkened. Although some areas in Lu'an County were still brightly lit and some people's daily lives had just begun, the fields outside Lu'an County were already plunged into darkness.
On the periphery of the field, protective runes arranged by the Curse Court exude a faint aura.
At the same time, in some places where yin, evil, turbid, and dirty qi are prone to accumulate, there are also one or two night watchmen to prevent possible sudden changes.
Finally, not far from the largest field in Lu'an County, there was a small team of members of the Guardian Division and a member of the Curse Court, standing by at any time.
This area has the most complete information transmission system, the most convenient transportation and the strictest protection system.
When Milo controlled the [Educator] to swim through this area, he did not think of avoiding them and said hello to the members of the Curse Court.
"Is this the inheritance of the Nine Immortal Sects?"
Although he did not participate in the original work of stabilizing the earth line and guiding the Taixu Illusion Realm, he learned from his boss that Taoist Milo had two members of the Curse Court who had ghosts. He looked at the [Educator] who had escaped into the earth line and was extremely envious.
This member's name is Huang Mingliang. He is over forty years old this year, but his cultivation is still in the realm of opening the pulse, and he has not yet touched the threshold of foundation building.
I had started to accumulate merit five years ago, and planned to exchange it for a low-grade foundation-building pill in two years to try to break through.
As for refining the whole body and breaking through the realm of pregnancy, I had some ideas ten years ago, but now I just want to successfully build the foundation, repair the damage, and support the family for a while longer.
It can be said that in Huang Mingliang's eyes, Zhen Miyun's present is the best future he can get.
Ping Xinghuai, a member of the Emperor Protection Division who was with him, knew more information. He also said in an envious tone: "That is not the inheritance of Miaoyou Sect, but the magical power obtained by Taoist Milo from the Taixu illusion." Get up, is the illusion of Taixu so mysterious? Can ghosts accompany you?"
When Huang Mingliang heard this, he immediately became interested and said: "This is natural. It's not surprising that anything appears in the Taixu illusion. As far as I know, in Qingzhou, there is a casual cultivator named Wu Liang who came from Taixu. I got a special magical power in the illusory realm, called breaking a promise?"
"Broken appointment? What is that? I train too much on weekdays and have no time to read. Lao Huang, you have been smart since you were a child. Please tell me."
Suddenly hearing an interesting word, Ping Xinghuai's curiosity was aroused. He also knew Huang Mingliang's character and asked hurriedly.
Huang Mingliang, whose vanity was satisfied, said cheerfully: "It's not easy to break an appointment. It is said that it is a kind of spiritual power. As long as you say the words 'I won't do it this time, I will definitely do it next time', it can deceive people. Give up what you are doing now. It can even make people give up on holding them accountable.”
"so smart?"
Hearing this, Ping Xinghuai couldn't help but show an envious look, but the next second he said a little lonely: "Unfortunately, these things have nothing to do with us. Last time, a brother of the Guardian Division entered the illusion. However, I didn't get any benefits and ended up lying in bed for two months. I heard that if you don't cultivate yourself well, you won't have the chance to make any further progress in your life."
"so serious?"
Huang Mingliang was also a little surprised, but he quickly thought of another thing. He looked at Ping Xinghuai and said, "By the way, do you know what happened today?"
"Are you talking about Xiangyan Temple recruiting Taoist boys?"
Seeing Ping Xinghuai's reaction, Huang Mingliang lowered his voice and said: "You know! That's the best! Let me tell you, our Xiangyan Temple in Puming Mountain belongs to the lower courtyard of Miaoyou Sect, so I serve as a Taoist boy here. Even if you are a disciple of Miaoyou Sect, you will have the opportunity to further your studies in Miaoyou Sect in the future."
"Do you know Miaoyou Sect? According to specifications, one of the nine great sects, after further study in Miaoyou Sect, is equivalent to having studied in a government school or even a state school. To obtain the status of an inner disciple in Miaoyou Sect, It's equivalent to graduating from a government school. If you go to any county or city, you can seek an eighth-rank official position, or even a seventh-rank official position is not impossible."
Although Huang Mingliang lowered his voice when saying this, the surrounding members of the Guardian Division, all of whom were not sharp-eyed, pricked up their ears and continued to listen.
One of them couldn't help but move closer to where Huang Mingliang and others were, moving the objects nearby and making noise.
Seeing Huang Mingliang and Ping Xinghuai, it seemed that the man did not hide anything and said bluntly: "Old Huang, are you telling the truth? If you go to Xiangyan Temple to be a Taoist boy, will you have the opportunity to become an eighth-rank official in the future?"
Huang Mingliang hurriedly shook his head and retorted: "Of course not. It is when a Taoist boy has the opportunity to study in the Miaoyou Sect and becomes an inner disciple that he has the opportunity to become an eighth-rank official. It's like if you let your kid go to the county school to study, you have to take the exam first Enter the county school, then the government school, and finally graduate from the government school to have the opportunity to become an eighth-rank official."
"This is wrong! If the inner disciples of the Miaoyou Sect can become eighth-rank officials, then why is Taoist Milo only from the ninth rank?"
"That's why you don't know! Although Taoist Master Miluo is only from the ninth rank, he is not under the control of our county. Don't you see that Master Qian and Master Yun are both nice to him, and he is worse than those eighth-rank officials? ? Besides, people will have the opportunity to become a true disciple of the Miaoyou Sect in the future. That is equivalent to graduating from the state school. If you find a place at random, you can become a seventh-rank official. If you work for two years, you can be promoted to the sixth or fifth rank. "
"Taoist Master Milo is so powerful!"
"certainly!"
Huang Mingliang said, lowered his voice again, looked around, and then whispered: "Does Mr. Zhen, the deputy envoy of our curse court, know? I heard that half a month ago, he quietly took his son Zhen Qingyun to find Taoist Master Milo. What else do you think it’s for? Isn’t it just to get some connections?”
Ping Xinghuai was a little surprised and said: "That boy Zhen Qingyun, I heard my boy said that he did very well in the county school and had the opportunity to be promoted to the county school. Why did he have to fight for the position of Taoist boy? Zhen Miyun even went there specially relation?"
"That's why you don't understand! What you learned in the county school is just the basics. Just memorize things by rote. That boy Zhen Qingyun has a good family background and plenty of time, so his grades are naturally not bad. Your boy should help pack things when he gets home. I have to go to the fields when I have free time, so I don’t have time to study. It’s weird that I can get good grades.”
Hearing Huang Mingliang's words, Ping Xinghuai rubbed his head and said, "Isn't there no way to do it? My two boys and three girls are all crying for food, and my mother can't do it alone! She can only do it. Let the older one take care of the younger ones. Am I still worried about the future marriages of these boys and girls?"
"You are anxious now, what will we old guys do?"
The colleagues in the Guardian Division spoke one after another, and Huang Mingliang added: "Then you can try to get a spot in Xiangyan Temple. I heard that in addition to Taoist boys, this kind of lower house also has Taoist soldiers, guardians and so on... "
"Okay! Don't talk about whether you have these things or not. Go back and stand guard. If something happens, you will feel better!"
Before Huang Mingliang finished speaking, he remembered an angry shout, but it was a team leader from the Guardian Division who spoke up, and several people could not continue chatting and returned to their seats.
But their exchange was not an isolated case. Similar situations spread among low-income families throughout Lu'an County.
Therefore, after a night of patrolling, Milo, who had gone out early to gather energy, returned to the temple and immediately felt that many people had gathered outside the gate.
Most of these people are residents of Lu'an County who were not present in person yesterday.
They surrounded several Huoju Taoists who came to report today and asked for relevant information.
These Huoju Taoists are either from the folk dharma lineage, or are first-rate casual cultivators, or they think they are successful in practice, have good talents, and are expected to break through to the foundation-building realm, and are unwilling to go to the Curse Court to be sent by others; or because of their living habits, they don't like it. Contact with outsiders.
Now, I am willing to work in Xiangyan Temple. First, I hope to seek righteous Dharma here and prepare for future breakthroughs. Second, I want peace and quiet, hoping to have a better cultivation environment.
Therefore, they were a little overwhelmed when faced with the crowd.
At the beginning, these Taoists were still able to maintain their rationality and responded to many questions one by one, either saying that they were not sure, or asking them to wait for notification and not to make random guesses.
But among the people who gathered around me, there was always someone who felt that they had come all the way here, and you should give me an answer.
If you don't talk to me properly and give me an answer, you are looking down on me and the common people.
Some people even wanted to incite the surrounding residents and force several Huoju Taoists to give an answer.
Milo, who had sensed the impatience outside through the sound brought by the wind, hurriedly changed his clothes, held a whisk in hand, opened the door, and looked at the people who wanted to rush in. He swung the whisk and a soft breeze blew up. Lock everyone out.
"Infinite blessings and longevity! Regarding the Taoist Temple Open Day, I have set a time with all the representatives yesterday, and the relevant information has been posted in the square at the foot of the mountain. If you have any doubts, you can go to the public notice board at the foot of the mountain to take a look."
As Milo spoke, he moved the fly whisk in his hand again, and the breeze blew up, allowing several Huoju Taoists to come to his side, and said softly: "I guess these are all introduced by Mr. Qian, please come with me to discuss in detail."
Seeing that Milo was about to go in, a resident couldn't help but rush out and tried to squeeze in. Seeing this, everyone on the side wanted to follow suit.
Milo turned back, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a pressure fell, shocking everyone.
