Dachang Immortal Officials, only those with grades seven or above can make memorials on the watch.
Chu Chen was only a ninth-grade evil mage, and could not perform his duties to 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 in time. It is better to misjudge three thousand people than to let one go.
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 something goes wrong, the two of them will bear a huge responsibility.
Of course, the most important thing is that when the land of Peach Blossom Village learned that the ghosts had dispersed, they immediately sent 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 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 promoted, but he is still 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 in the first time, he can still jump in the queue. The next time he becomes a regular in the competition, he can be ranked in the first echelon and be promoted to the ninth grade immortal official.
Chu Chen understood Huang Fugui's thoughts, nodded and said:
"Let's go take a look first. It's best if we can find and kill the water ghost before reinforcements arrive."
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 the soldiers and horses from the urn and searched along the river bank, trying to find some clues.
"Brother Chu, look at me."
Huang Fugui seemed 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 incantation silently.
"The sky is full of spirits, the earth is full of spirits, the water is full of spirits, the fire is full of spirits, the heaven and earth are full of water and fire spirits, and the great immortal Tengu is searching the sky and the earth to help me, as urgent as a law or order."
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 ghost energy 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."
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 so easy to kill.
"Brother Chu, I will 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 across, Huang Fugui turned into a blue anaconda and jumped 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 through the empty wilderness.
Thinking about 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 slays the ghosts of Marshal Guan. After hearing this invitation, he rushed to the altar to obey the order of the Arctic Emperor Ziwei!"
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 magical 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.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
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.
Fighting in the water, he can hardly help.
Rather than going down to cause trouble, it would be better to respond on the shore.
Anyway, most of his current strength lies in his soldiers and horses and divine generals.
The real role it plays is no worse than wealth, not just 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.
Taking a closer look, it turned out to be someone from the County Ghosts and Gods Department.
Master Xu Ping, Taoist priest, and Huang Mei came without saying anything.
Good guy, Taoist Qingyun, Zen Master Liaokong and even Magistrate Xu also came.
Deputy Du Guan Huang Eyebrow is on duty today. His master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, is the head of the County Ghosts and Gods Department. It is his job to rush over here, so they must rush over as soon as possible.
As for Taoist Qingyun, Zen Master Liaokong 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 yellow-browed figure came from the distant horizon, looking quite anxious.
However, Taoist Qingyun and Zen Master Liaokong came over in a hurry. Magistrate Xu didn't care about him.
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 then, General Guan Yunchang came 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 reached out to take the Violent Demonic Heart, feeling a little excited.
This water ghost is really a cruel ghost!
This time, he and Fugui have made great achievements.
After receiving the "Volent Demonic Heart", Chu Chen turned to everyone and said:
"My lords, you are late."
