Old boss?
Chu Chen was curious. He had been a member of the Immortal Court for more than ten years, held several positions, and worked in various places. He had many old bosses.
From the little devil's tone, it seems that he doesn't want to see him.
With curiosity in his heart, Chu Chen went straight out of the practice clean room.
"Ling Xiao, look who's coming!"
At the pavilion in the front yard of the cave, Han Chen greeted him from a distance.
The guests on the side had a faint smile on their face, and there was a hint of embarrassment.
Chu Chen stepped forward to cast a spell, shrank down to an inch, and came to the two of them. He was a little surprised, smiled and held his hands in his hands: "Friend Daoist Li, long time no see!"
The person who came was none other than Li Guang, the former Superintendent of Ghosts and Gods in Guangping County, Qingzhou.
When Chu Chen came back from a banquet in the East China Sea, because he didn't borrow the "Five Elements Rare Treasures" from his immediate boss, he was often poked and shunned by this boss afterwards, and there was a small grudge between the two parties.
This is also the reason why the little ghost doesn't want to see Li Guang. It has a simple temper and has clear hatred and likes and dislikes written on its face.
"Fellow Daoist Lingxiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard from Friend Daoist Han that you also came to the Libu Department of the Demonic Academy and came here specially to visit."
Li Guang has completely lost the high-spiritedness he had when he was the top leader in Guangping County, Qingzhou, with a kind and polite smile.
Facing his former subordinates and calling him "fellow Taoist", he had no idea at all and accepted it calmly.
There is no other reason. He only broke through the realm of great supernatural powers in the past two years.
In terms of cultivation, he seems to be lagging far behind Chu Chen, and it will probably be difficult for him to catch up in the future. In terms of status, they are both "Elders of the Demon" of the fourth rank of the Disciple of the Demon Academy, so they are on par with each other and are colleagues of the same level.
However, he was just a newly promoted great supernatural power with little qualifications. He left the Demon Academy and was ranked low. As for Chu Chen, he has a mid-level fourth-level cultivation, has a term as a fourth-level immortal, and is an alternate elder of the Immortal Court Central Elder House. He ranks high among the demon elders.
In just a few years, their status has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you also transferred the Li Department!"
Chu Chen asked the two of them to sit down, with a meaningful smile on his face.
It was quite a fate for the two to work together again after so many years.
However, time has passed and the situation is different.
When he was in Guangping County, Li Guang was upset because he didn't borrow the Five Elements Treasures. He criticized him quite a lot and often ran against him at the governor's meetings, which made his last period of stay in Guangping County quite unhappy.
But now, it is not necessarily about who is squeezing whom, and who is wearing small shoes for whom.
Chu Chen is not a small-minded person, and he has always been gentle in dealing with others.
However, he was not the clay Buddha in the temple, and he did not have any anger at all. Before Li Guang could speak, he teased:
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Li, congratulations on becoming one of the great supernatural powers. I wonder who you borrowed your Five Elements treasure from?"
Hearing this, Li Guang raised the teacup in his hand halfway and froze in the air, with an awkward smile on his face: "It was a gift from the elders of the sect."
Chu Chen showed a "sudden look" and said:
"Oh~ it's true!"
When Li Guang heard this, he felt more and more embarrassed.
None of Chu Chen's three words seemed to be scolding him, but in fact, they were all scolding him. There is something behind the scenes, and as a person involved, he understands it all too well.
Chu Chen was mocking his borrowing of "Five Elements Rare Treasures" back then.
"Five Elements Rare Treasure" is such a precious treasure. Who but a close relative of blood or an elder would have the bodhisattva heart to give you this opportunity.
It is a great kindness to lend you, but it is right not to lend you.
If you don't have enough connections and don't give any guarantee, you can just ask to borrow the "Five Elements Rare Treasures" without permission. If you fail to "borrow the treasure" and retaliate afterwards, you really don't know what you mean and think highly of yourself.
For a moment, the scene was extremely embarrassing.
Li Guang's face was a little helpless, and he immediately sent a message with his spiritual consciousness, thinking that Han Chen would help and say a few good words. "Brother Han, look..."
Han Chen shook his head secretly, ignored the request, and opened his mouth to put in a good word for Li Guang.
The "entanglement" back then, things are still going on
It came from him. He had no reason to put in a good word for Li Guang. On the contrary, he was quite critical of Li Guang.
If it weren't for the fact that he and Li Guang were family friends and couldn't wipe out his face, he wouldn't be able to show up today. "Brother Li, it is true that you did something wrong back then. If you apologize today, the matter will be over."
Li Guang looked quite ugly after listening to Han Chen's spiritual message.
He was born in the Shangqing Arctic Sect, the top sect of the Immortal Sect. He is extremely talented and is highly regarded by the elders in the sect. Now he has broken through to the realm of great supernatural powers. It is the moment of great success.
Asking him to apologize, how could he keep it on his face?
"Brother Han, fellow Daoist Chu, Pindao just remembered that he has something urgent to deal with, so he should take a step back." After that, Li Guang hurried away without saying a word.
In the blink of an eye, the figure disappeared in the front yard of Qingchen Cave, looking quite embarrassed.
"Senior Brother, this person is so unreasonable. He is obviously here to visit Senior Brother. He left just as soon as the tea was brewed for him. It's so rude. The spiritual tea sent by Sister Ying'er is so precious. I don't know why, so I took it to feed the tiger. "The little devil pursed his lips with a look of disdain. His tutor was even better than Li Guang's.
After saying that, it carried the jade tea tray and left.
When Chu Chen heard this, he shook his head and chuckled, looking indifferent.
The clay figurine is still very angry, but Li Guang doesn't even have the most basic attitude and is unwilling to assume a low profile. How could he be so hot-tempered but cold-hearted?
"Eh~"
Han Chen couldn't help but sigh, looked at Chu Chen apologetically, and said:
"Ling Xiao, it was my mishandling of this matter that caused you to be in trouble for nothing. I will remember this kindness for my whole life!"
"Old Han, you are too serious. This is nothing but trouble. It's nothing."
Chu Chen smiled freely and didn't care at all.
When Li Guang was his immediate boss, he didn't pay much attention to the other party's targeting, let alone now.
If Li Guang doesn't have any self-awareness, Chu Chen doesn't mind giving him a hint.
"That's true. I'm afraid he is no match for you right now."
Han Chen shook his head and sighed:
"Li Guang is not a bad person in nature, but he is too arrogant and thinks very highly of himself." In fact, if Li Guang is willing to lower his attitude and the two sides sit down and have a good talk, without letting go of their grudges with a smile, By getting back together and forming friendships, you can at least resolve the "entanglements" and keep things separate. It's a pity that the other party is very proud and unwilling to lower his attitude at all.
In fact, maybe people didn't feel that they were wrong at all, but just felt that Chu Chen was "a villain who succeeds" and showed off his status and cultivation.
Chu Chen shook his head and said:
"No wonder Li Guang has been trapped in the fifth level of Taoism for many years. With his talent, I am afraid that he has already broken through to the realm of great supernatural powers. With this kind of character, hehe~ he will suffer sooner or later."
"Who says it's not?"
Han Chen withdrew his gaze from Li Guang, smiled and said to Chu Chen:
"Ling Xiao, Great Elder Chongxu is about to arrive in Cangzhou City and take charge of the Demonic Academy. Please don't stay in seclusion today. When the time comes, the entire academy will go to greet you."
In the afternoon of that day, as Han Chen said, Taoist Chongxu, the great elder of the Xianting Central Presbytery, arrived in Cangzhou.
Two reorganized warships traveled thousands of miles to protect the Dharma, and the eight ministers, deputy ministers, elders, deacons and other middle and high-level officials of the Demon Academy met each other for hundreds of miles. Thousands of troops and horses lined the road. The scene was extremely grand.
After arriving in Cangzhou City, the Southwest Governor Yu Xuzi personally hosted a banquet with senior officials from the eight states to entertain Taoist Chongxu who had come all the way from the imperial capital.
Except for the personal conquest of Mr. Ming Jing, the emperor of the dynasty, no one could find a higher standard than this. This is the value of being an important minister of the country.
The nine great elders of the Xianting Central Presbytery are all "important ministers of the country." Taoist Chongxu is among the nine, ranking middle to lower, but he is also a real minister of the country, and one of the top strong men in the world.
In the past few days, several mountain gods and land gods have led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to build the Demon Temple in full swing. During this period, they used magical powers and worked very efficiently.
The temples, halls, cave houses, and houses in the entire Demonic Temple are all almost completed.
As soon as Taoist Chongxu arrived, and with this important minister of Zuo Guo in charge, the Demonic Academy was officially established.
. The next day, Taoist Chongxu held a meeting of the Demon Academy. All senior officials of the academy attended the meeting to discuss the matter of demon evil and demon atmosphere throughout the eight southwest states, and assigned errands to the eight departments.
Overnight, the new but large-scale Demon Academy quietly began to operate.
The Demonic Courtyard and the Libu Meeting Hall.
A bhikshuni wearing linen clothes and holding beads in his hands sat on the main seat and looked around.
"We pay our respects to Master Huixin!"
In the hall, everyone stood up and bowed to the woman on the main seat.
"Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be polite."
There is a gentle smile on Master Huixin's cold face, like an orchid in an empty valley, with a sense of tranquility and calmness.
Master Huixin was born in Putuo Temple, a Buddhist sect of the Nanhai sect. He was a bhikshuni, commonly known as a nun among the people.
Putuo Nunnery, whose dharma lineage originates from Mount Putuo, respects Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, the Savior of Suffering and Suffering, as its founder, who spreads his Dharma, saves all living beings, and saves suffering.
Master Huixin once served as the abbot of Putuo Temple. He was a strong man of the third rank of Taoism. After entering the Immortal Court, he was awarded the title of Master Dongyuan by the third rank. This time he was transferred to the Southwest Governor's Mansion and served as the deputy envoy of the Demon Academy. (Shengsanpin), concurrently serves as the Minister of Departures.
In other words, Master Huixin is Chu Chen’s immediate boss.
In addition to Master Huixin who serves as the concurrent minister, there are also two deputy ministers in Libu.
One is Taoist Priest Feilong, who was born in the Arctic Tianxin Sect. He is a fourth-grade Cave Spirit Master, Hunyuan Shangqing, leads the Thunder Department, and is an alternate elder of the Immortal Court Central Presbytery. He has perfect fourth-grade Taoism and practices super-grade Dharma. It is said that his magic power has reached At the third level, his magical powers are extremely astonishing. His strength is second only to Master Huixin. He is the second-in-command of the Li Department. He assists Master Huixin in presiding over all matters of the Li Department of the Demon Academy.
One is a native of Konggu Mountain, a member of the Ten Thousand Saints Sect, a fourth-grade Dongling Mage, and a candidate elder of the Immortal Court Central Presbytery. He is a late fourth-grade Taoist practitioner and has extraordinary magical powers.
Next, there are Chu Chen and Li Guang, these "Elders of the Demon", with Taoist cultivation ranging from the early stage to the middle stage of the fourth level, a total of twelve.
In addition, there are a number of "Demon Demon Butlers" with fifth-level Taoist cultivation.
This is the upper-level structure of the Eight Southwest Prefectures of the Demonic Academy. The entire Eight Demonic Divisions have similar configurations and are quite close in strength.
Speaking of which, Chu Chen, the two deputy ministers of Li Bu, have some connections.
The deputy minister, Konggu Shanren, was born in the Wansheng Sect, and came from the same sect as his former Taoist friend Jiuqiu Shanren in Guangping, Qingzhou. The main point of practicing Kung Fu was "refining essence". He followed the path of physical sanctification, and his martial arts powers were astonishing.
Another Feilong Taoist has even more connections.
To be more precise, it has something to do with Li Guang.
Li Guang was born in the great Immortal Sect [Shangqing North Pole Sect] and practiced [Tianxin Zhengfa].
This Taoist Feilong was born in the [North Pole Tianxin Sect] and also practiced [Tianxin Zhengfa].
The two teachers came from the same lineage, and both respected the Ziwei Emperor in Zhongtian North Pole as their main god.
Moreover, the relationship between their two families is not like that between the Lingshan Sect and Shuiliandong. They are one direct lineage and one branch. The inheritance of the Dharma lineage is not the same, so the relationship is not close.
They are both the direct descendants of the North Pole Tianxin sect, and their practice methods come from the same lineage. One is from the southern sect and the other is from the northern sect. The two families have the same spirit and have a very close relationship.
After visiting the Immortal Court, the two families always hugged each other for warmth and supported each other, just like one family. "No wonder Li Guang is so arrogant. It turns out he is confident and has a backer in the Li Department."
Chu Chen murmured to himself.
Taoist Feilong is not an ordinary monk with great supernatural powers. Although he is a fourth-level Taoist, he has practiced various super-level techniques. His magical power is comparable to that of the upper third-level, and his Taoist and magical powers are not inferior at all.
To a certain extent, Taoist Feilong can also be called a "higher third grade" powerhouse. Looking at the entire eight southwest states, he is a very important figure.
Obviously, Li Guang had known for a long time that such a senior from his sect had been transferred to the Southwest Demon Academy, and he did not pay much attention to repairing the relationship with Chu Chen.
For the proud man, coming to visit him was already a low profile.
You, Chu Chen, don't know what's good and what's good, and he won't tolerate it either.
As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.
When the Demon Academy was first established, the stalls were not spread out. There were not many ready-made Demon errands in the entire academy, and even fewer were assigned to the Libu.
As a result, on the first day after taking office, there was a situation where there were too many people and not enough food for everyone. Not everyone had errands to do in the first place.
As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials.
It had only been two years since Li Guang broke through to the realm of great supernatural powers, and he had not yet held the rank of fourth-level immortal. As soon as he was appointed as the "Elder of the Demon Demon" in the Demon Demon Academy, he got an errand.
It is said that it was proposed by Taoist Feilong.
It is said that Taoist friends who are transferred from outside the eight southwest states will first be exposed to errands and test the waters, so that they can become familiar with the customs and situations of the eight southwest states, so that they can quickly integrate into the eight southwest states. Master Feilong's proposal was well-founded. Master Huixin did not veto it and agreed on the spot. Afterwards, the first day of the meeting of the Demon Li tribe was over. Chu Chen did not receive the errand and went back to the cave directly.
"Senior brother, it must be Li Guang's trick on Taoist Feilong. He likes to do these little tricks the most."
After returning to Qingchen Cave, the little ghost was indignant and had the idea of writing Li Guang into his notebook every now and then.
Even it knows that the merits of the evil demon elder, Mu Shou, are far inferior to those of the deputy governor of the state, and he has to rely on slaying demons in order to cultivate more merits.
If Taoist Feilong never assigns errands to senior brothers, or assigns bad errands, it will be troublesome.
"Little devil, just say this in front of me. Don't talk nonsense when you go out. Taoist Feilong is a senior of the Taoist sect, so he will definitely not interfere in the grievances of the juniors."
Chu Chen warned the kid, shook his head, thoughtfully.
Although he said this to the little devil, he was preparing for the worst in his heart.
After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable.
Of course, Chu Chen, who is open-minded and open-minded, is not too entangled in this matter and just takes it one step at a time.
"Little devil, it's okay to be idle. Senior brother, I happen to be using [Thunder Essence] to refine the divine seal. Demons are raging in the eight southwest states, so don't worry about running out of errands to do."
After saying that, without saying a word, Chu Chen went into seclusion to practice, waiting for the call from the Demon Academy.
Until three days later.
The little devil's voice came from outside the clean room, and his tone was quite exciting.
"The flying talisman of Libu summoned me, senior brother, we are here to survive."
