I learned this from my master, Taoist Master Xu Ping.
The elder brother Zhenqing regretted that he failed to become the counselor of the county capital.
Chu Chen had already guessed this scene, but he still felt sorry for his senior brother Zhenqing.
With the Senior Brother's seventh-level Taoist cultivation, if there is a "counsellor in charge of the county capital" as a springboard, after the performance appraisal, he will definitely be able to fill the vacancy and delegate the affairs of ghosts and gods to the general manager of a county.
Of course, not being elected as the Counselor of the County Governor does not mean that there is no hope of filling the vacancy of the County Governor. It depends on luck.
"Master, why doesn't the senior uncle help our senior brother?"
In the hall, Chu Chen couldn't help but ask.
As the deputy governor, the eldest uncle has a high and powerful position. If he is willing to help, it will not be difficult to help the eldest brother capture a seventh-grade demon. .
Taoist priest Xu Ping shook his head and said:
"It is true that the gang can help, but your senior brother is not strong enough, and the Lingshan sect is a small sect. If it is placed outside, I am afraid that it will not be able to help him. He can only rely on himself to rashly push it to the county capital." The position will do more harm than good, and it will not do any good to the people of the county. The morals will not match the position, and it will harm others and ourselves. As for letting the county capital take control, there will be many opportunities in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while."
After saying that, the master looked at Chu Chen:
"My master and your uncle secretly hope that Zhenqing can capture a seventh-grade demon by his own ability. If he can really do it, then assuming he has the ability, the opportunity and fire are enough. Who knows, Zhenqing didn't succeed, but you did. The county is in charge of the counselor."
Chu Chen smiled:
"The main reason is that Lao Liu has made a meritorious service. The little demon under his command happened to bump into the tiger demon. I relied on my master's magical powers and the military master's magical powers passed down by Mr. Guigu, and I was lucky enough to kill the tiger demon."
The kid on the side heard this and blurted out:
"Sir, that seventh-grade tiger demon has never even met his senior brother. It's so embarrassing to die. It's not like when we first met a seventh-grade demon when we were in the eighth-grade Taoist practice. At that time, we were chased everywhere by the demon. I ran away and almost knelt down to beg for mercy..."
"Ahem~"
With the past unbearable to look back on, Elder Xu Pingdao blushed and glared at the kid angrily.
You bastard, what are you talking about? Sir, I don’t want to lose face?
Taoist priest Xu Ping took the kid in his hand, touched the kid's head, and said sternly:
"Little devil, you have been smoking too much incense recently and your brain is not working properly. You will be forced to copy four scriptures tonight. I will check them tomorrow morning."
The little kid also realized something and touched his head. His face was innocent and he dared not speak out in anger.
Chu Chen laughed dumbly. The little kid had such a temper, he would say whatever he thought of, and he did whatever he wanted.
This is why it can be a bad omen.
After weighing the pros and cons, it won't work.
Next, the master and apprentice had another conversation.
Taoist priest Xu Ping gave Chu Chen instructions on how to handle errands as a "county councilor", what taboos there were, who were the names of the chief and deputy councilors, their likes and dislikes, work style and other aspects, no matter how big or small, everything was consistent. Chu Chen confessed.
After listening to the conversation, Chu Chen benefited a lot. He had a good understanding of the errands that the counselors were in charge of, and he didn't panic.
In addition, Chu Chen also asked his master about the [Fuhu Talisman] in the master's magical power [Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger].
Late at night, Chu Chen returned to his small courtyard.
Taoist Master Xu Ping watched his apprentice leave, sighing and sighing in his heart, and his sense of urgency became stronger.
The apprentice's spiritual power improved too quickly.
"You have to practice quickly, otherwise you won't be able to teach your disciples soon."
After saying that, Taoist Master Xu Ping hurriedly returned to the clean room and practiced hard.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he had not left the army, and there was always someone pushing him.
I was a master before and now I am a disciple.
There is nothing more bleak than this in life.
...
The next day.
Chu Chen gathered the energy of the sun for two weeks and hurriedly went to Dianmao, the County Ghost and God Department.
This time, instead of going to the Huanghao Courtyard in the north, we went straight to the Central Metropolitan Administration Courtyard.
The County Ghosts and Gods Division occupies a vast area with densely packed houses and courtyards.
The entire County Ghosts and Gods Division can be roughly divided into five parts.
The four courtyards of Xuanhuang and Tiandi are located in the southeast and northwest, with the Du Guan Courtyard in the middle. The Du Guan and Deputy Du Guan run errands in the Du Guan Compound, issue orders, and take charge of the affairs of demons, demons, and gods throughout the county.
After the great changes caused by ghost troubles in the Zhongyuan Dynasty, the Guangping County Ghost and God Department currently has one chief superintendent and four deputy chief superintendents.
Han Chen, who is in charge of the capital, was born in Louguan Taoism. He is a fifth-grade Taixuan Master. He is the minister of Jiutian Golden Palace and Jade Mansion. He is the procurator of Thunder City and is in charge of the affairs of demons, demons and gods in the county;
Deputy Du Guan Li Guang was born in the Northern Sect of the Shang Qing Dynasty. He was a fifth-grade Master Yuxu and the Great Dharma Master of Dutian. He knew the affairs of the Exorcist Academy and assisted the Du Guan in presiding over the affairs of ghosts and gods in the county. He was also in charge of the affairs of the Tianhao Academy of Ghosts and Gods in Guangping County. The well-deserved second-in-command of the County’s Department of Ghosts and Gods;
Deputy Du Guan Yunlei Taoist, who was born in Lingshan Sect, was a fifth-grade master of Yuxu, Shaoqing of Tianshu Yufu, and knew the North and South Courtyards. He was in charge of the affairs of the Guangping County Ghosts and Gods Division.
The deputy capital is in charge of Zen Master Yichen, who was born in Zhenru Temple and graduated from Master Yuxu of the fifth rank. He is in charge of the affairs of Guishensi Xuanhao Academy in Guangping County;
Deputy Du Guan Jiuqiu Shanren, born in the Wansheng Sect, is a sixth-grade Master Miaoying, and concurrently serves as the dean of Huanghaoyuan of the Ghost and God Division of Guangping County.
Among the four deputy governors, Deputy Governor Li Guang was born in the Sanqing Dynasty. He has a deep background and strong strength. He took over the position of the former deputy governor Fang and is the well-deserved second-in-command of the county ghosts and gods.
Taoist Yunlei and Zen Master Yichen are ranked in no particular order, but have similar status.
Jiuqiu Shanren ranked last,
The other deputy governors all hold the rank of fifth-grade immortal, but he is the only one who is in the sixth-grade, and his status is slightly inferior.
However, the practice of Jiuqiu Mountain people focuses on refining the body, sanctifying the physical body, and proving the Tao with force. Their magical powers are extremely powerful, and even fifth-level Taoist monks do not dare to underestimate them.
In addition, the Jiuqiu Mountain people were old subordinates of Du Guan Han Chen. With Du Guan's support, and he had been in charge of Huanghaoyuan for a long time, his position was extremely stable and no one could shake it.
Chu Chen arrived at the Du Guan compound with his front legs, and Wang Ping hurried over with his rear legs.
"Brother Chu, wait for me."
Chu Chen stopped and waited, and the two of them entered the Du Guan compound together.
After entering the courtyard, the two presented the Immortal Court's decree. The civil servants in charge of the compound respectfully put the Immortal Court's decree away, and then arranged the two of them to rest and wait in a side hall.
Soon, a clerk informed the two of them.
Wang Ping was assigned to go to Jiuqiu Mountain Ren, who would take him;
Chu Chen was assigned to Master Boyunlei Taoist.
Chu Chen had already expected this. Master Xu Ping told him last night.
The main job of the counselor of the county governor is to assist the governor in handling affairs. Chu Chen was transferred to the master Boyunlei during the "Pink Skeleton Case" before, and he can also be regarded as the counselor of the governor.
However, that time he would be a temporary counselor, but now he is a full-time counselor, the kind with a formal immortal position.
After receiving the specific appointment, Chu Chen and Wang Ping went to the Duguan Courtyard to report without saying a word.
It was not the first time for Chu Chen to go to Master Boyunlei's courtyard, but he was familiar with the road and the journey was smooth.
"Zhenyi, you're here."
Before Chu Chen entered the room, Master Boyunlei's voice reached his ears from afar, and he was quite happy.
"I've met the great uncle~"
Chu Chen was not too restrained and entered the capital's study room to meet his uncle.
"Senior Brother, you are here too~"
"Haha~ I have been following Master on errands."
When senior brother Zhenqing saw his junior brother Chu Chen, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
His current errand can be regarded as "counselor in charge", but it is temporary and has no formal establishment.
