The master summoned him in a hurry, and Chu Chen did not dare to delay and hurried to the capital's study.
Taoist Xu Ping's study is in the back hall of the Council Hall, not far from Chu Chen's study, and can be reached through two corridors.
"Master, you are looking for me."
Chu Chen entered the Du Guan study room unimpeded.
Taoist Xu Ping was handling official business. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the sound, and pointed to the seat under the case.
"You sit down first, my teacher will get it done soon."
Chu Chen nodded and sat down by himself, calmly waiting patiently for his master to finish his work.
The kid on the side noticed Chu Chen's arrival and woke up from his sleep.
"Brother, you are here."
Chu Chen's eyes lit up, the little wingman was here, there was no news.
"Little devil, did you and Master go to Guangping County today?"
The little kid yawned with sleepy eyes:
"Yes, at the beginning of every month, we have to go to the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods to report on the situation of ghosts and gods in the county last month."
Chu Chen understands this.
The governor of a county reports on his work every month, which is related to the performance appraisal and promotion of the immortal officials.
Last month, Chu Chen served as "the general deputy leader of the third team of the County Ghosts and Gods Department, assisting and managing affairs", protecting the people, and he has done a lot of hard work, and his current performance status has also been revealed.
He has the temple of mind close to him, and his achievements are more intuitive - his merits have increased by ten levels at once.
Coupled with the daily errands such as "transfer" and "night vigil", his current merit has increased to forty-five.
"What else happened?" Chu Chen asked quietly.
The kid scratched his head and said, "It's a happy event. It seems that the great uncle is going to be transferred to Guangping County. I was too busy sleeping to hear it clearly."
Chu Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
As for all the good things that are going to be prosperous and prosperous, it is useless to ask the little devil, and it is always full of unreliability.
If it's something bad, you don't need to ask, it's just buzzing in your ears.
"You bastard. He sleeps every day and doesn't practice well. He can't keep up with his Taoist practice. Stop following this poor Taoist and follow your senior brother."
Taoist Xu Ping finished his official duties, stood up from the case, and walked over.
As he walked, his mouth was full of scolding words for the little devil.
In the past, if I heard the master saying that he didn't want me anymore and wanted to sell me, the kid would feel uncomfortable and aggrieved.
But,
When he heard that the master was about to hand him over to his senior brother, the little kid was extremely happy.
Is there such a good thing? !
Senior brother is very generous. If you follow him, you won't have to worry about "good taste" in the future.
You will be rewarded for your work, unlike the old man who is so stingy.
"Sir, this is good. Senior brother's cultivation is low and there are many dangers. I will give him a warning of bad luck."
The little kid jumped up to the desk, slapping his chest and making a vow. His attitude was so positive that he was afraid that the master would regret it.
When Chu Chen saw this, he couldn't help laughing.
Taoist Xu Ping's face suddenly collapsed, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Soon, he figured it out.
With his apprentice here, words like "I don't want you anymore, I'll give you away" won't scare the kid anymore.
Maybe he was eager to follow his senior brother.
They were a family anyway, so they didn’t leave.
To put it nicely, it means setting up one's own business together with one's senior fellow apprentices, and taking charge of one's own business.
It wants to be like this, unfettered and relaxed.
"Then just follow your senior brother!"
Taoist Xu Ping pondered slightly, and then gave instructions in a firm tone.
"Ah~"
Chu Chen and the little kid both exclaimed, their eyes filled with astonishment.
One person and one ghost know Master Xu Ping very well.
He is a serious person, old-fashioned and serious. He does things strictly and seldom makes jokes.
Normally, when you say something, you have thought deeply about it and made up your mind.
Since he said to his face that he wanted the kid to follow Chu Chen, it was definitely not a temporary idea, but he had already had this idea and took the opportunity to express it.
This is too unexpected.
"Master (Master)..."
Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai wanted to say something, but Taoist Master Xu Ping waved his hand to stop them.
"Needless to say, the little devil has a good talent for cultivation. He is a good young man, but he is lazy. After so many years, his magical powers are not as good as yours. You have only been practicing for a long time."
The little devil buried his head in embarrassment. It was best at foretelling bad luck, but it didn't really have many other magical powers.
It's far worse than my senior brother.
Taoist Xu Ping continued:
"My master has long planned to let the little devil follow you."
"You have extremely high talents and qualifications, and you will inevitably encounter dangers in the future. Having a little ghost boy by your side is a sign of bad luck, so you can rest assured as a teacher."
"It will be a big benefit for the little devil to follow you. You have good luck and good fortune. If it follows you, it can gain some light, and its future will be brighter."
"In the future, you will support each other and seek a future together, and don't slack off in your practice."
Taoist Xu Ping did not give any one person or ghost a chance to interrupt, and made arrangements on his own, with a firm tone that left no room for doubt.
Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai looked at each other and understood that Master Xu Ping's words were unquestionable, so they finally nodded.
I'm afraid, this is the master or even the Lingshan sect of his master to compensate him for the golden light magic spell and secret method, or to reward him.
Chu Chen had a vague guess.
He has studied the "Dijinji" of his master for many years, and he knows very well that it is not easy to cultivate "little ghosts". His master, Taoist Xu Ping, cannot do it alone, but he has gathered the power of his master's Lingshan sect.
The little ghost boy belongs to the master "Xu Ping" and also belongs to the master's Lingshan sect.
The little guy's affiliation is not decided by Taoist Xu Ping alone, but the final decision of the entire Lingshan Sect.
In other words, this was the Lingshan sect's reward for Chu Chen.
On the spot, Taoist Xu Ping transferred the alliance agreement with Xiao Guizai to Chu Chen.
Under the statue of the Sanqing Taoist ancestor, Chu Chen knelt down and bowed his head, swore an oath to heaven and earth, and cursed:
"The Yin spirit and the Yin spirit are with you in life and death. The two realms of Yin and Yang are brothers. If I are in trouble, I will predict bad luck. The sky and the earth are connected to the underworld. If you betray me, you will fall into the north forever. If I betray you, I will suffer the death penalty. I will have merit in the future and go to heaven!"
The little ghost also learned to kowtow and kowtow endlessly.
"Me too! I am willing to follow my senior brother Chu Chen, share the blessings, share the difficulties, help each other, and go to Penglai together!"
As the two swore an oath, the spiritual talisman in Taoist Xu Ping's hand scattered a little and disappeared into the bodies of Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai respectively.
In the dark, there was a vague connection between Chu Chen and Xiao Guizai, and they were more cordial and comfortable than before.
"Senior brother, please take care of the little kid if he follows you from now on!"
The little kid bowed to Chu Chen with rare seriousness.
"Well, little devil, my senior brother's safety will be left to you from now on."
Chu Chen touched the little ghost's head and smiled.
"Leave it to me, don't worry."
The little devil proudly held his chest out, quite proud of himself.
Seeing this scene, Taoist Master Xu Ping gave a rare smile and said to Chu Chen:
"Disciple, in our Lingshan Sect, there has only been one soul boy in every generation. Do you know what it means to have a soul boy and recognize him as the master?"
Chu Chen was stunned. He hadn't been here long, so he really didn't know.
"Master, what does it mean?"
"It means the inheritance of Dharma lineage!"
