As the sun sets in the west, clouds fill the sky.
On the way home from get off work, Xu Xian could not suppress the smile on his lips and felt particularly refreshed.
He felt refreshed for two reasons.
First, there is no need to go to work tomorrow.
The second is to make an appointment to go to Dabai's home tomorrow. The gentle and virtuous Dabai will give him one-on-one practice guidance.
He went to Dabai's home and practiced and taught in private. Thinking about it makes people think a lot.
Unfortunately, Dabai is not a snake at home, but also has a rebellious sister-in-law.
Maybe there are more than five ghosts with strange looks and miserable ghosts.
But that doesn't matter.
After all, guiding practice is the real thing, and he needs a teacher who can talk about Taoism to answer many questions.
Xu Xian felt that he still needed to know more about the world of cultivation and have a deeper understanding of the world where the immortal Buddha appeared.
Be fully prepared for situations you may face in the future.
Not long after.
Xu Xian returned home leisurely.
Different from the deserted situation in the past, the house is particularly lively today.
More than ten officials in uniforms came.
Most of the Xu Xians knew each other. They were all colleagues of brother-in-law Li Gongfu, and they would occasionally come to the security hall for medical treatment and medicine.
At this time, everyone had smiles on their faces and congratulated Li Gongfu one after another.
"Congratulations, Inspector Li, for cracking a major case and learning that the county magistrate appreciates it..."
"Li Tou, I knew you would be promoted sooner or later."
"Brother Li, you usually take good care of your younger brother. With this promotion, I know that you are an upright person and do not accept gifts. This is an old hen that I have raised at home for two and a half years..."
Listening to everyone's congratulations, Xu Xian immediately understood what happened.
Brother-in-law Li Gongfu received a promotion and a salary increase, from head catcher to patrol inspector.
Xu Xian had a brother-in-law who was a head catcher, so Xu Xian had some knowledge of county government officials.
The responsibilities of a catcher are similar to those of a patrol officer. They are both responsible for arresting thieves and maintaining public order.
But one is a official and the other is a high-ranking official.
Although the inspector is only a ninth-grade official, there is a huge difference between officials and officials.
The vast majority of officials will never be able to become officials in their lifetime.
Brother-in-law Li Gongfu is a level leap.
"Hanwen, you came back just in time. Your brother-in-law was promoted today and became a patrol inspector."
Xu Jiaorong happily walked forward and told Xu Xian with a smile on her face.
Xu Xian also smiled: "Brother-in-law has been promoted, what a happy event!"
As the initiator of this matter, he was obviously not too surprised by this.
After all, the five ghosts stole a large amount of gold and silver, so finding the stolen goods was definitely a great achievement.
At this time, several familiar officials also noticed Xu Xian and stepped forward to say hello.
"Doctor Xu, you are indeed a well-known handsome man in Yuhang City. We haven't seen you for a while, and you have become more and more handsome. No wonder there are always wealthy people in the city looking for Li Tou..."
"Hey, Doctor Xu, I heard that your medical skills are quite superb. Two days ago, I heard that you used the magic technique of bringing the dead back to life to save a man who died suddenly from a serious illness. It's really amazing..."
"Doctor Xu, my cousin has some insights into medical skills. She wants to come to your pharmacy..."
Faced with the warm greetings of several familiar officials, Xu Xian responded with a smile and accompanied Haosheng to entertain them.
In the past few years since he opened the Security Hall, colleagues such as his brother-in-law Li Gongfu have also given him a lot of help, often introducing people to see him for medical treatment and medicine.
Moreover, no one from the security hall has ever come to cause trouble, and no one dares to come to collect protection fees or the like.
Let Xu Xian live extremely comfortably.
After some congratulations and greetings.
More than ten people left congratulatory gifts and then left one after another.
They all knew that Li Gongfu was a kind and upright man and would not accept valuable items such as gold and silver. Most of the gifts he sent were cakes and snacks.
After sending off the last colleague with a smile.
Li Gongfu has an honest face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he can't help but show a bit of sadness.
"Brother-in-law, your promotion is such a happy event, why are you still worried now?"
Xu Xian casually picked up a piece of pastry on the table, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and asked his brother-in-law Li Gongfu, who was half worried and half happy.
Xu Jiaorong also cast a concerned look at her husband.
Li Gongfu sighed softly and said: "It is certainly a happy event to be promoted, but I have no ability to be a patrol inspector. It's good if I can do a good job of catching the head."
Xu Xian ate the cake and affirmed: "Brother-in-law, I have always felt that you are quite capable and upright. You will definitely be able to protect peace in the future."
Xu Jiaorong nodded in agreement: "Yes, my friend, I also think you are very capable."
Hearing his wife's praise, Li Gongfu's expression softened slightly.
After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly: "Madam, Hanwen, you may not understand, but it's not easy to be an inspector now."
"The inspector is responsible for patrolling the entire county, and it is easy to come into contact with some evil things."
"In recent years, our Yuhang City area has been guarded by the eminent monk Fahai of Jinshan Temple. Demons and monsters have rarely appeared. There are not many people in the Demon Exterminator Department stationed in Yuhang City, and the overall strength is relatively weak."
"But I heard that the eminent monk Fahai announced a few days ago that he would practice seclusion in seclusion. I don't know when he will be able to come out of seclusion."
"Without the suppression of the eminent monk Fahai, I'm afraid that the number of demons and ghosts around Yuhang may gradually increase."
"Inspection is a military duty. As an inspector, I need to lead my subordinates to assist the people of the Demon Slayer Department in dealing with the troublesome demons and monsters."
After listening to Li Gongfu's explanation.
Xu Jiaorong suddenly panicked: "Enemies, what can we do? How can monsters and monsters be dealt with by us mortals?"
Li Gongfu nodded helplessly: "Yes, I think so too. Monsters and monsters are beyond the capabilities of ordinary people."
Xu Xian was silent when he heard this.
I never thought that I was doing bad things with good intentions.
Moreover, Fahai's retreat seems to have something to do with him.
The little rabbit was saved before, allowing Fahai to see through the demonic barrier and become more perfect.
This should be the reason why Fahai practiced in seclusion.
"Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry too much. I know a few powerful monks and we have pretty good friendships with them."
"If there are powerful demons and monsters, please tell me immediately and I will go find them for help."
"They are all chivalrous people who are keen on subduing demons and demons, and they will definitely agree to help."
Xu Xian opened his mouth and said so.
Xu Jiaorong looked slightly startled when he heard this: "You brat, when did you make friends with powerful monks? Why have I never heard you talk about it?"
But Li Gongfu's sadness faded away, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Others may not believe Xu Xian's words, but he does.
Three years ago, he saw with his own eyes that an old immortal who could fly with a sword wanted to accept Xu Xian as his disciple.
The old god's attitude was particularly sincere, as if he had found a treasure, and he was even willing to show them many spells.
This obviously shows that his brother-in-law Xu Xian has excellent cultivation talent.
It was not surprising to him that Xu Xian could make friends with several powerful monks.
The Spiritual Monkey Brewing that Xu Xian brought out before was absolutely extraordinary.
"Okay, Hanwen, if there are troublesome monsters and monsters in the future, I will let you know and ask your friends to help."
Li Gongfu looked slightly happy and nodded solemnly towards Xu Xian.
Xu Xian smiled and waved his hand: "No trouble, they just like to kill demons everywhere."
After wandering around for a night, he earned nearly 200 merit points, and he already liked killing monsters.
With his current strength, dealing with ordinary demons, ghosts, and evil cultivators would not be a big problem.
If you encounter someone who is powerful and difficult to deal with.
Madam, help me!
