"The emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!"
Taoist priest Xu Ping saw the little kid running towards him in a hurry and saw Chu Chen walking out of the clean room unhurriedly with a calm look on his face. He smiled and cursed.
"Hey hey hey~"
The kid scratched his head and said, "Senior brother, it's good that you have a real job in Xianting. Otherwise, practicing at home every day would be boring."
In the past few days, Chu Chen, apart from studying the Taoist Scriptures, spent the rest of the time meditating on the [Heavenly Doctor Tao Tianjun's Secret Technique] and preparing to summon the second divine general. He didn't go out much, but the little devil was suffocating.
"Master, what's the matter? Is there any vacancy in the County's Ghost and God Department?"
Chu Chen and his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, entered the room and sat down, then asked.
"Nature has its shortcomings."
Taoist priest Xu Ping said without hesitation:
"The Four Courts of Tiandi Xuanhuang each have four squads, with sixteen squad leaders and several deputy squad leaders."
"The leader of the class is a seventh-grade immortal official. Each one is a carrot and one is a pit. The competition is extremely fierce."
"The competition for deputy class leader is not that big. With your performance in the Taoist Academy, you can easily enter even without being a teacher or your senior uncle."
Chu Chen nodded slightly.
A county can only count its official immortal officials on one hand. As long as it is an immortal official, it will be among the top officials of the county's Ghosts and Gods Department.
In the County Ghosts and Gods Division, there are more immortal officials in one class than in one county.
The reason why this phenomenon occurs is that the stage of the County Ghosts and Gods Department is larger than that of the County Ghosts and Gods Department, and its jurisdiction is countless times larger.
In Xin'an County, the County Ghosts and Gods Department can only handle cases within the county.
Once a demon that commits a crime in the county escapes from the county, the county's Ghosts and Gods Department often cannot pursue it across the border. Instead, it needs to be reported to the county's Ghosts and Gods Department, and the higher-level Ghosts and Gods Department will take action to arrest it.
This resulted in the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods being busy with affairs and in urgent need of manpower.
Of course, the County Ghosts and Gods Department does not want everyone, and is still very picky about the talent and strength of immortal officials.
Although many Taoist disciples have been promoted to immortal positions after leaving the Taoist academy, it is not that easy to stay in Guangping County.
In the end, most people returned to work in the ghosts and gods departments of various counties.
However, with Chu Chen's resume and his "superior" results in the Taoist Academy, it would not be difficult to enter the County Ghosts and Gods Division.
"Master, should I follow you into Dihao Courtyard?"
Chu Chen asked without thinking.
Senior Brother Zhenqing is also in the Dihaoyuan, so we can work together at that time.
"It's not good to always be with your teacher. You should try it out on your own."
Taoist Xu Ping shook his head and continued:
"It just so happens that Deputy Director Han asked your senior uncle for you and wanted you to go to Huanghaoyuan. What do you think?"
Chu Chen was stunned and a little surprised.
It's not that he was surprised that his master asked him to leave his comfort zone and go to a strange government office.
But he was surprised that Vice Governor Han asked him by name.
Deputy Du Guan Han is one of the deputy superintendents of Guangping County's Ghost and God Department. He is in charge of Huanghaoyuan. He is at the same level as his uncle, and his magical abilities are no less than his uncle's.
Such a big shot actually asked him by name, which was beyond his expectation.
He didn't have much interaction with Deputy Du Guan Han, that is, he had a chance encounter with him during the Taoist Confucian classics test yesterday.
"Master, why does Deputy Governor Han want me by name?"
"It should be related to your performance in the Taoist Temple yesterday."
Taoist Master Xu Ping smiled and said: "Your senior uncle said that afterwards, Vice Duguan Han was very fond of you and inquired about you. He heard that your master was also in Dihao Courtyard, so he asked your senior uncle for someone. .”
"You said you won't get any training if you stay with the elders of the sect. Both your senior uncle and I think this is reasonable."
Speaking of these, Taoist Xu Ping was very proud.
It's really a face-saving thing for my apprentice to be able to do it well.
Senior brother Yunlei Zhenren scolded Zhenqing when he came back.
"Deputy Manager Han asked me to go to Huanghaoyuan by name. Of course I am willing to go."
Chu Chen was quite happy to be taken seriously by others and agreed without thinking.
"Hmm~"
Taoist Master Xu Ping nodded slightly: "In that case, I will communicate with your uncle in a few minutes. Your appointment document will come out tomorrow. At that time, just take the appointment document to Huanghaoyuan of the County Ghosts and Gods Division."
...
The next day.
As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials.
While the immortal officials who graduated from the same Taoist academy were still rushing to find a favorite immortal position, Chu Chen's appointment documents came down.
Guangping County Ghost and God Department, Huanghaoyuan, Class A, Deputy Class B leader.
The deputy head of the County Ghosts and Gods Division is different from the deputy head of the County Ghosts and Gods Department. The standards are much higher, and the level classification is also extremely detailed.
Divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.
Corresponds to the ninth-grade and positive ninth-grade officials, and from the eighth and positive eighth-grade immortal officials.
The monthly salary is fifty jade coins, one hundred jade coins, one hundred fifty jade coins, and two hundred jade coins.
Rank, treatment, etc. are strictly hierarchical and clear at a glance.
After receiving the document of acceptance of his fate, Chu Chen did not delay and immediately went out to rush to the County Ghosts and Gods Division.
As soon as he went out, he saw two acquaintances.
It was Wang Ping and the scholar.
"Brother Chu, are you going to Huanghaoyuan of Ghosts and Gods Division? Let's come together!"
Chu Chen looked at the two of them.
He was not surprised that the scholar entered the County Ghosts and Gods Division. The scholar had mentioned it to him a few days ago.
His teacher asked him to go out and practice more, observe the world and understand the way of painting.
The scholar then decided to enter the Department of Ghosts and Gods again.
With the help of his great Confucian teacher and the secret efforts of the Nine Nether Alliance, it is not difficult for a scholar to enter the County Ghosts and Gods Division. He can enter whichever institute he wants.
This is the benefit of relying on power.
He was not surprised to see the scholar today.
What surprised him was that Wang Ping said he was going to the "Huanghaoyuan of the Ghosts and Gods Division" instead of the "Ghosts and Gods Division".
Chu Chen vaguely guessed something.
"Wang Ping, do you know Deputy Du Guan Han in your family?"
"good."
Wang Ping admitted generously: "My father worked with Deputy Du Guan Han, and we have a good relationship. This time when I joined the Department of Ghosts and Gods, my father asked me to visit..."
Chu Chen said before Wang Ping finished speaking:
"Good guy, I thought Deputy Han wanted me by name, but it turns out it was Brother Wang who did your best secretly."
After saying that, Chu Chen was slightly disappointed.
On the other side, Wang Ping was even more surprised and asked:
"When will Deputy Governor Han ask for you by name?"
Chu Chen said: "After the Taoist Academy assessment yesterday."
Wang Ping slapped his thigh: "I've been fooled. I came to visit you last night. I asked Deputy Governor Han why he agreed so quickly. It turns out that he has already fallen in love with you. Hey, you're wasting my words. I promised Deputy Governor Han No matter what, if I don’t pursue everyone in Ningxiang from now on, I’ll be at a huge loss.”
"Hahahaha~"
Chu Chen and the scholar laughed dumbly.
This Wang Ping is still thinking about everyone in Ningxiang. He really won’t give up until he reaches the Yellow River.
The three of them didn't think much and quickly came to the Huanghao Courtyard of Ghosts and Gods Division to report.
Along with them, there were three other immortal officials, all classmates of the Taoist Academy, but their friendship was not deep, and the two sides just nodded to each other.
Jiuqiu Shanren, the dean of Huanghaoyuan, is a sixth-grade man. He has been practicing in the sixth-grade Taoism for many years. He has advanced cultivation and is an unsmiling person.
After explaining a few words to a few people, he left in a hurry.
Soon there were government servants to entertain a few people and they dispersed.
Chu Chen took a different path from the others. A government servant took him all the way to a quiet place in the Ghosts and Gods Division.
"Deputy Team Leader Chu, Deputy Controller Han summoned you."
