Celestial Immortal

Chapter 31 Shocking Ghosts and Gods

In the early morning of the next day, the three left the Dilongkeng Ghost City in a hurry.

On the way back, Zhang Xiucai made another mistake of bragging.

This time, he brags much longer than usual.

He took the trouble to describe the whole process of how Lord Long received him, encouraged him, and finally bestowed the great Confucian Danqing Mobao.

Hearing that Huang Fugui was fascinated, he felt envious.

"Xiucai, are you saying that Lord Long gave you a scroll of precious Confucian Danqing calligraphy as long as you are in favor?"

Zhang Xiucai raised his head slightly and nodded proudly.

He was born in a scholarly family, from a farming and studying family. Compared with ordinary people in the market and the countryside, he is from a good background. He has no worries about food and clothing, studies and studies, and his family background is quite good.

But in the world of practice, the family background and talent of a scholar seem very ordinary.

This can be seen from his entry into the Department of Ghosts and Gods.

Ordinary Confucian monks have always taken the road of imperial examinations.

Only by competing with the world's students for their talents and knowledge can they gather the supreme literary heart, and the path of Confucian monks' practice will become wider and wider.

Entering the Immortal Court of Ghosts and Gods, for Confucian and Taoist monks, this road is not easy to walk.

In order to balance Confucianism and Taoism, Confucianism monks can only serve as deputy positions in the local ghost and god department for a lifetime, and cannot be in charge of one party, which has an extremely obvious ceiling.

The scholar kept saying that he liked ghost wives and fox girls and so on, so he joined the ghost and god department, but it was actually just an excuse.

The real reason is that he has mediocre aptitude in Confucianism and Confucian classics, he is only good at the Tao of Danqing, and the imperial examination has no hope, so he entered Xin'an County Ghost and God Division to seek a future.

Zhang Xiucai is proud and inferior in his heart. He wants to make something, but he has no direction to work hard.

This time, by chance, I participated in the Dragon Lord's dinner party, and was fortunate enough to be recognized by the Dragon Lord, who presented him with a volume of Daru Danqing Mobao. For Zhang Xiucai, it was tantamount to a new life.

First, it was Long Jun's approval, which allowed him to rebuild his confidence and fight high.

Secondly, the Confucianism Danqing hidden in the Daru Danqing calligraphy is a treasure Zhang Xiucai dreamed of.

No matter from which point of view, this night, Zhang Xiucai's life trajectory has changed.

"I'm really envious ~ why don't I have one!"

Huang Fugui patted his head naively, quite disappointed.

He was considered talented at home, but when he went outside, he realized that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.

"Wealth, don't underestimate yourself, your talent is still good, you are a lineage of horse immortals, and your future is boundless, don't think about what you have, you are different from people like me who have no teacher and no inheritance."

Seeing that Huang Fugui was not favored by Lord Long, Zhang Xiucai felt more relaxed and confident for some reason, so he looked at Chu Chen again.

"Brother Chu, what about you, I see that you drank a lot of Yuehua fine wine, but you are favored by Lord Long?"

Chu Chen spread his hands, with a breeze in his sleeves.

"Look at me, there is no treasure from the Dragon Lord!"

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay, you all carry inheritance, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Xiucai comforted the two of them, half sincerely, half secretly delighted.

Seeing that Zhang Xiucai was holding back his joy and excitement, and pretending to be calm, Chu Chen couldn't help but secretly laugh.

He didn't answer, and he didn't say anything about his refusal of Long Jun's respect.

He could see that this encounter was a baptism for a scholar, a sublimation from the inside out.

At this time, he said that there were some and nothing, and it was too stupid to attack a young man who had regained his confidence and was full of fighting spirit.

Two hours later, the group of three returned to Xin'an County.

After returning from the grotesque and bustling ghost market, the three of them had no intention of continuing to wander around and went back to their respective homes.

When Chu Chen returned to the Xu Mansion, his master Xu Ping and the little ghost boy were not there.

So, he fetched the yellow talisman and practiced the magic talisman.

Although he has a heart temple, he doesn't want to develop the habit of relying on the heart temple.

Talismans and talismans are broad and profound, and the basic skills must never be left behind.

Otherwise, you will not be able to reach the "Muzhuan" realm of "writing talismans with your eyes" in the future.

This hard practice book magic talisman, one practice is a whole day.

In the evening, the sunset glow passed through the window and was printed on the yellow talisman paper. Daoist Xu Ping and the little ghost still didn't return home.

Chu Chen was worried, so he stopped writing, strode out, and went to the Yamen of Ghosts and Gods facing the street.

As soon as he entered the Yamen of Ghosts and Gods, Chu Chen hadn't found his master, Daoist Xu Ping, but his ears were filled with discussions about Zhang Xiucai, about him and Fugui.

"These three boys are very lucky. After two days of rest, they went to the Dilongkeng ghost market, and they bumped into the Dragon Lord dinner."

"People are more popular than people. I have been there dozens of times, and I haven't bumped into them once."

"It's useless to go to the Dragon Lord's night banquet. I went there and drank a cup of wine, which improved my cultivation a little. There is no way, my qualifications are limited, and I can't get the Dragon Lord's favor."

"Hehehe, it's interesting to say that among these three boys, none of the disciples of the governor and the nephew of the deputy governor have been favored by Lord Long, but Zhang Xiucai has made a big splash!"

"What's so strange about this! Those two boys come from such good backgrounds, but their cultivation is not top-notch. One can imagine their aptitude."

"To be favored by Lord Long, the scholar is going to soar into the sky. It's amazing. In the future, he might become our immediate boss."

"Maybe really, everyone should pay more attention next time you see a scholar."

The inspection of each class of the Department of Ghosts and Gods made colleagues talk a lot, and their words were full of envy for Zhang Xiucai.

Chu Chen pretended not to hear, ignoring the gossip of the veteran inspectors in the department, and went straight to the small courtyard in the yamen that belonged to his master, Daoist Xu Ping.

"Brother~ You don't take me with you to the ghost market!"

The little devil looked at Chu Chen with resentment on his face, he felt aggrieved for not being able to go to the ghost market because he was so playful.

"Hahahaha~ I will definitely do it next time, this time my brother is going to scout the way for you."

"Is that true? Then next time, brother, you must take me to play."

"Hmm~"

The little ghost boy was easy to coax, and he dismissed him in a few words.

Soon, Chu Chen met his master, Daoist Xu Ping.

"Go to Dilongkeng ghost market?"

Daoist Xu Ping asked casually.

"Hmm~"

Chu Chen nodded.

Daoist Xu Ping turned his head and said, "Did Lord Long help you?"

Chu Chen was surprised: "Master, why are you so sure that I will be favored by Lord Long?"

Daoist Xu Ping rarely smiled.

Although he didn't speak, he expressed his meaning clearly.

Chu Chen is well aware of the old-fashioned and serious manner of Master Xu, and he never praises him face-to-face, and just smiles, that is a great compliment and affirmation.

Chu Chen also smiled and said:
"Dragon Lord wants to give me three treasures, a volume of practice method "Thunderbolt Secret Edict" for immortal officials who have cultivated to the third rank, a spiritual fruit to increase my cultivation level, and a piece of earth dragon mother stone."

Daoist Xu Ping was able to maintain a calm expression at first, but when he listened, he showed surprise when he was calm.

"The "Secret of Thunder" given to you by the Dragon Lord should be the first half. I heard that someone has obtained it. It can be cultivated to the seventh rank, the middle part can be cultivated to the fifth rank, and the second half can be cultivated to the third rank. The orthodox dharma lineage that is passed on in an orderly manner is extremely precious."

"Earth Dragon Mother Stone is also quite precious, worth tens of thousands of jade coins, and the spiritual fruit is also very suitable for you. If you get it, you will be able to obtain it."

Taoist Xu Ping commented one by one.

"You boy, your luck is good."

Chu Chen shook his head: "Master, I refuse."

Daoist Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, and stood there in a daze.
