Chu Chen turned his head when he heard the words, and with a sweep of his consciousness, his eyes finally fell on a young Taoist with an indifferent expression and a graceful demeanor. Immediately, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Lingzi!"
The person who called out to Chu Chen turned out to be Xuan Lingzi, who was also the counselor of the Guangping County Ghost and God Department.
However, when Xuan Lingzi was transferred to the local area and took charge of the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods, he unfortunately encountered a mortal disaster and was bewitched by demons, which resulted in a huge deficit in the county's fairy court treasure house and made a big mistake.
Afterwards, Xuan Lingzi's disciple, Taixuan Sect, came forward to wipe his butt. Xuan Lingzi himself felt deeply ashamed, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to leave the seclusion and enter the wilderness.
Speaking of which, Chu Chen and Xuan Lingzi hadn't seen each other for almost two years.
The two seemed quite happy to meet their old friends in a strange place thousands of miles away.
Chu Chen looked at Xuan Lingzi up and down, feeling quite emotional.
In the past two years, Xuan Lingzi has changed a lot. Although he still has an indifferent expression and looks like a stranger approaching him by mistake, he is less arrogant and sharp, and a little more gentle and peaceful.
The most important thing is that after going through hardships and washing away all the troubles, Xuan Lingzi has obviously come out of his initial depression, his eyes are resolute and bright.
The transformation of the state of mind is directly reflected in the cultivation of Taoism.
Chu Chen's spiritual consciousness was powerful, far superior to that of monks of the same level. He could tell at a glance that Xuan Lingzi was already at the sixth level of Taoism.
In life, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
Xuan Lingzi's tribulation in the mortal world was a big blow to him. However, after surviving the tribulation, Xuan Lingzi became the second person among the same batch of county counselors to break through the sixth level of Taoist cultivation, surpassing Qian Sangua and Wang Ping. , Yuantong little monk.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Lingzi, congratulations. You have overcome the tribulation, your Taoist heart is perfect, and your path to immortality will be bright in the future."
Chu Chen held up his hands to congratulate him.
Xuan Lingzi felt sour in his heart. He had endured a lot of hardships in the past few years before he got through it. The hardships during this period could not be explained to outsiders.
"Fellow Taoist, I'm joking. I can only say that I'm catching up and barely catching up with you. I'm afraid your Taoist practice has improved a lot in the past two years."
Chu Chen nodded: "Yes, by chance, my Taoist practice has improved a lot."
Xuan Lingzi suddenly said: "No wonder I can't see the depth of your Taoism and cultivation. I have long seen that when we were a group of people, although you are not showy, you are a real fairy seedling with a bright future."
After some emotion, he asked curiously:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, are you transferred to Yunzhou with Han Duguan this time?"
Chu Chen nodded slightly: "Not bad."
"That's just right. Han Duguan has just taken office in the past two days, and I have just been transferred from the lower counties by Han Duguan. Maybe we can work together in the future..."
While talking, the two of them immediately entered the Yunzhou Ghost and God Department.
After Han Chen was transferred to Yunzhou, Xuan Lingzi was also transferred to Yunzhou. Now he is serving as a sixth-grade immortal in the State Department of Ghosts and Gods. It is natural to take Chu Chen into the State Department of Ghosts and Gods.
Chu Chen followed Xuan Lingzi all the way to the Prefectural Capital Administrative Courtyard without even showing the transfer order documents from the Immortal Court.
Just as he entered the Prefectural Capital Administrative Courtyard, Han Chen's spiritual voice came to his ears:
"You two come in quickly, no notification is needed."
Chu Chen and Xuan Lingzi walked through several corridors and finally entered a clean and spacious courtyard.
In the courtyard, Han Chen was sitting on the pavilion in the courtyard playing with the tea set, quite leisurely. When he felt the two people coming in, he motioned for them to sit down without looking back.
"Find a stool to sit on."
Xuan Lingzi has experienced severe beatings in the world of immortals over the years. He is no longer the young boy who just walked out of the mountains. Facing his old boss Han Chen, who has reached the realm of great supernatural powers, he seems quite cautious. He walks over, but does not Dare to sit down.
Chu Chen became more casual and sat down. He took out an exquisite tea box from the Bracelet Immortal Mansion and started making tea by himself:
"Old Han, drink my tea. The Dongtian Ling Tea that Long Jun has treasured for many years can nourish the soul and refresh the mind and cleanse the turbid air."
Han Chen laughed and scolded: "Fellow Daoist Chu, if you hadn't told me earlier, I would have gone out to buy spiritual tea today."
While talking, Han Chen took out another tea set and brewed Long Jun's Dongtian Spirit Tea with Chu Chen. During this period, he also commented on the spirit tea from time to time.
Xuan Lingzi on the side looked shocked when he saw this scene, as if he was meeting Han Chen and Chu Chen for the first time.
Old Han... Chu... Fellow Daoist Chu?
This...what happened during the two years I was away from Qingzhou?
Xuan Lingzi was shocked when he heard the names between the two, and was speechless.
After Han Chen and Chu Chen exchanged greetings, they also became aware of Xuan Lingzi beside them.
"Fellow Taoist Xuan Lingzi, why are you standing? Hurry up and sit down to drink tea. This spiritual tea is the treasure of Lord Long."
Chu Chen greeted with a smile.
Han Chen waved his hand and said, "Xuan Lingzi, sit down, don't be cautious."
Xuan Lingzi seemed to say something, but didn't dare to ask. He sat down blankly, still unable to let go.
Han Chen on the side smiled. He was quite satisfied with Xuan Lingzi. He was not defeated by the disaster, but made a breakthrough. He had a love for talents and his friendship with Xuan Lingzi's master, so he took him with him to train him. .
However, Han Chen did not continue to greet Xuan Lingzi, but smiled and said to Chu Chen:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, how do you feel about being transferred to Yunzhou?"
"Quite uneasy!"
Chu Chen told the truth that the dean of Guangping Taoist Academy was a free-wheeling errand. If he were to be a hands-off shopkeeper, it would be fine if he did not go to the Taoist Academy for a month or two. Anyway, there were vice-presidents, doctors, and teachers who were responsible for specific affairs and teaching.
The Taoist Mountain Chief of Bianhuang County was different. He was responsible for educating and consolidating the territory, and played a vital role in the expansion of the territory of the Celestial Dynasty.
He suddenly rose to a high position at such a young age, and it was impossible not to feel uneasy.
Not to mention, he also serves as the deputy governor of the county's Ghost and God Department, and the supervisor of the county garrison.
"This is the first time I see you feeling anxious."
Han Chen smiled: "Actually, you don't need to think too much."
"Yunzhou is a frontier county with a vast territory. One county is comparable to two counties in Kyushu. Under normal circumstances, a county's Ghosts and Gods Division does not have one chief and four deputies, but deputy divisions with no limit, at least all of them. There are about ten deputy governors in charge.”
"One advantage of Guanwai Prefecture County is that promotions are quick. As long as you have a fifth-grade Taoist practice, you can easily hold the position of deputy capital administrator. The one who really holds the most powerful position is the county capital administrator."
"Your deputy governor is only a part-time officer. He gives you the power to control the local ghosts and gods department in the local county. It is convenient for you to do things. You don't need to control the county ghosts and gods department on weekdays."
"The concurrent role of county garrison and military supervisor is the prince's wish. You can just perform your duties and don't need to worry too much. What you really need to do is to develop and expand the Taoist academy, attract people to Taoism, cultivate talents, and educate the people."
"This is the top priority of the Yunzhou strategy..."
Han Chen talked non-stop and gave pointers:
"Speaking of which, your opportunity has come."
Chu Chen became interested: "I wonder what the mystery is?"
Han Chen smiled slightly and said:
"This time, the Celestial Empire has spent a lot of money to run the border county. As the head of the Wanquan Taoist Academy, the treasure trove of skills in the Immortal Courtyard will be opened to you, so that you can teach and teach to the people in the border area."
"You have a high level of understanding, and you will definitely benefit a lot from this visit."
"In addition, Mr. Mingjing, the crown prince, will personally summon you and other Taoist mountain leaders in the next two days to take the first and second exams. This is your opportunity and the blessing of your Taoist school. How much you will gain depends on your ability..."
...
Xuan Lingzi on the side was stunned when he heard Han Chen pointing out Chu Chen.
The mountain chief of Wanquan Taoist Academy, the deputy governor of the county, the supervisor of the county garrison...Chu Chen?
