The scholar indeed missed it and picked up a fine ancient inkstone.
At first glance, this ancient inkstone looks ordinary. There is nothing surprising about it. There is no trace of spiritual nourishment at all. It does not look like a spiritual inkstone at all. It looks like an ordinary inkstone no matter how you look at it.
The scholar had a wonderful heart for painting, and he vaguely felt that this ancient inkstone was quite charming.
Without saying a word, he bought the inkstone.
Once he returned to the county town, the scholar studied it carefully and asked the teacher.
Only then was it confirmed that this ancient inkstone was the work of a famous artist, and its precious light was restrained. Ordinary people did not know its beauty, so its pearl was covered in dust.
According to the scholar's boast, this ancient inkstone is worth at least five thousand jade coins.
With this gain, the loss caused by sudden price increases when buying ink is nothing compared to it.
In this case, can you say that the scholar is suffering from bad luck today? It’s obviously a lucky star!
"Senior brother, what I said is true. My mouth is open!"
The little ghost boy was so excited that he secretly heard the sound from his spiritual consciousness and was quite excited.
Chu Chen was also a little confused.
Last night, he could easily tell from Master's words that Master was not very sure and was mostly trying to appease the little devil.
But...what's going on now!
Is this really the case, or is it just a coincidence?
Chu Chen couldn't be sure, so he just ignored it, let the little devil do his best, and would observe later.
As the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival approaches, the evil atmosphere between heaven and earth is extremely heavy, and mountain spirits, ghosts, and evil spirits are quite active in various places.
On this day, the four people from Chu Chen were very busy on patrol, which was in sharp contrast to yesterday's leisurely pace.
The four of them are on patrol and have to run around all day long to ensure the safety of the country and the people.
After a busy day, Chu Chen ran more than a dozen errands.
The monsters and ghosts that came out and jumped around were just too excited about the Ghost Festival. There were no human lives involved, they were just running errands.
After a busy day, Chu Chen's skill increased by one level, reaching seventy-four.
According to past practice, in the evening, Chu Chen and others finished their errands and could change shifts and go to the office.
However, they have to work overtime tonight during the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival.
Not only them, but all the immortal officials from other departments and classes must perform their duties and maintain stability.
In the class room, Wang Ping prayed quietly:
"I hope I can have a peaceful night and not cause trouble. I'm exhausted from running around during the day."
Everyone nodded.
The scholar looked at the little ghost boy, saw that the little ghost boy frowned, changed his usual behavior, and immediately asked:
"Little devil, why are you so silent today?"
Chu Chen was also a little surprised, yes, why didn't the little devil give him a blessing?
The little ghost looked solemn: "Something happened before I could even speak. At this moment, the world is filled with the aura of disaster, dangers are everywhere, and murderous intentions are revealed."
When Chu Chen and others heard this, the smiles on their faces suddenly faded.
After all the trouble, everyone was still convinced of the little devil's ability to predict misfortunes.
If the kid says this, then things will definitely go wrong.
The last time the world was filled with calamity and calamity was during the Great Plague in Youzhou.
As expected, not long after the little ghost opened his mouth, the entire Ghosts and Gods Division was in a state of shock.
News came that the Guangping County Ghost and God Department made a mistake in guarding the gate of ghosts, causing the gate of ghosts to open wide, and countless evil ghosts who were strictly forbidden to enter the human world poured into various places in Guangping County.
Fierce ghosts are different from ordinary dead souls. They possess evil spirits, resentment and violence. If they are allowed to walk around the world, they are very likely to cause harm and murder, which will turn the Ghost Festival into a ghost disaster.
Once ghost disasters spread, it will be a serious event.
Immediately, Jiuqiu Shanren, the dean of Huanghaoyuan, summoned all the class heads and deputy class heads of the four classes A, B, C and D under the jurisdiction of the hospital.
"The ghost disaster happened suddenly, and everyone had an order. The immortals and officials from all the teams in Xuanhuang Academy of Heaven and Earth temporarily stopped their errands and cases, and rushed to various places to make up for the situation, kill the ghost disaster in time, and prevent the ghost disaster from spreading and hurting people. common people.”
The situation was urgent, and the people from Jiuqiu Mountain appeared to be extremely resolute.
After briefly explaining the situation of the ghost disaster to everyone, the Jiuqiu Mountain people began to arrange errands.
"Our Huanghaoyuan is responsible for all areas north of the county, including the villages on the outskirts of the county and the counties in the north. This errand is extremely heavy and urgent, endangering the comfort of the people in the county. There is no room for sloppiness. Our respective errands have been arranged. The safety of the whole county is in the hands of all fellow Taoists."
"It is our duty as immortal officials to kill demons and save the common people. Please rest assured, Dean!"
Chu Chen, Xiucai and others followed a group of immortal officials to bow and salute, showing their determination to fight against the ghost disaster.
Dean Jiuqiu Shanren nodded with satisfaction, and then spoke impassionedly in a rather bewitching tone:
"Fellow Taoists, this ghost disaster is the time for our immortal officials to accumulate merit and save Li Shu."
"The governor has ordered that those who have merit in killing the fierce ghosts this time will be generously rewarded."
"Kill a ninth-grade fierce ghost and get a reward of one hundred
Kill an eighth-grade fierce ghost and get a reward of five hundred.
If you kill a seventh-grade powerful person, you will be rewarded with a thousand dollars..."
After hearing the news, the deputy heads of each class who were already eager to try became more and more excited.
The rewards for killing evil ghosts were beyond everyone's expectations.
Moreover, the reward is quite generous.
Killing and saving a ninth-grade evil ghost will cost you one hundred jade coins, which is almost half a month's salary of a ninth-grade immortal official.
The most important thing is that this time the ghost disaster is rampant, and there are many evil ghosts wandering around.
As long as you have good strength, you can definitely kill a lot of big and small ghosts. After accumulating it, I am afraid it will be an extremely objective amount.
"This time, our Guangping County Ghosts and Gods Department is bleeding heavily. This is too generous."
The scholar was dumbfounded when he heard the words, and sent messages to Chu Chen, Wang Ping, and Lin Miaoyin's spiritual consciousness, filled with emotion.
Wang Ping disagreed and said:
"This is normal. Our Guangping County Ghost and God Department has made such a big mistake. If we don't use thunderous means to eliminate the ghost disaster, even the county guard and the governor will be unable to take advantage of it. How can we not be so generous!"
Chu Chen thought so.
There was an unprovoked ghost attack in Guangping County. No matter what the cause was, the guilt was not small.
The big move at the moment is to minimize the losses and do our best to make amends.
"Oh, I don't know if Master and Uncle will be implicated!"
On the one hand, Chu Chen was worried about the proliferation of ghosts, and on the other hand, he was also a little worried about his master and uncle.
The master is okay, but he is just a deputy dean. Even if he takes the blame, he is not heavy enough.
But the great uncle is different, he is the deputy governor. ,
If the ghost disaster spreads and gets out of control, no matter whether Master Boyunlei makes any mistakes in this matter, as the deputy governor, he will not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty.
In other words, if the ghost epidemic situation cannot be contained, all the governors and deputy governors will be responsible for the matter, and dismissal from office is a minor matter.
As expected, the Ghost and God Department of Guangping County attaches great importance to ghost disasters.
Dean Jiuqiu Sanren had just announced the reward, and then began to release even greater incentives:
"This killing of the powerful ghost has merited merit. The Division of Ghosts and Gods will report it to the Immortal Court to ask for merit from fellow Taoists. As long as merit is achieved, the immortal official will become a regular official and promotion will be easy."
"In addition, the immortal officials of each realm of cultivation will be evaluated. The top five immortal officials who have killed the most evil ghosts and made the greatest contributions will be trained in the future. Whether they are promoted or waiting for vacancies, they will be given priority. select."
Upon hearing the news, the entire Huanghaoyuan became more and more excited.
Especially for the deputy heads of each class, there are many immortal officials who hold this immortal position, and the competition is the fiercest. Once you hear it, you will have the opportunity to show your strength and make achievements.
Any deputy leader who has some confidence in his own strength will feel inexplicably excited.
