Celestial Immortal

Chapter 39 Fifty Soldiers and Horses
To live is to love comparison.

Huang Mei and Daoist Xu Ping are no exception.

Usually do not compare, that is disdainful.

But for the nephew and the apprentice, the two still have a heart of comparison.

It has nothing to do with whether the relationship is good or not.

Just like two neighbors who have been together for many years always love to compare their own children, it is human nature.

The nephew has entered the rank, and Huang Mei's Deputy Chief Guan was originally very high-spirited and quite proud, so he wanted to bring his nephew into the Department of Ghosts and Gods to show his face and enjoy the congratulations and flattery of his colleagues.

Now it's all right, Chu Chen has also entered the product.

And the practice time is very short, much more amazing than his own nephew.

For some reason, the excitement and joy in Huang Mei's heart was greatly reduced, and the smile from the heart on his face became perfunctory.

Daoist Xu Ping is relatively introverted, and he never shows his joy outside.

But this time, the smile and pride in his brows and eyes could not be concealed, which was in stark contrast to his usual seriousness and staidness.

On the contrary, Huang Fugui and Chu Chen, who were the parties involved, seemed much more normal.

"Brother Chu, you really have become a product. My second uncle said that you have only a short period of practice and it is impossible to become a product. I don't believe it. I think you must be a product. As expected, I have been right!"

Huang Fugui leaned against Chu Chen excitedly, quite affectionately.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "I'm a good-for-nothing, I don't have a deep foundation, and I can't compare to your steady and steady fight."

"Everything that is steady and steady is fart. To put it bluntly, it means that my talent is not extremely high, and I am not tepid. The good name is steady and steady."

"Don't be so cheap and behave yourself, look at your pride, head held high, like a big rooster, you're just short of crowing!"

"Hehehe~"

The four entered the Department of Ghosts and Gods talking and laughing.

Not long after, the news that Chu Chen and Huang Fugui entered the product spread like a gust of wind throughout the Ghost and God Department.

Everyone from the inspectors of the third class to the ordinary yamen handymen got the news, which caused a huge commotion.

Whether or not a monk is a master, the difference can be said to be one heaven and one earth.

If a monk is not in the top class, then he is not in the top class.

There are different schools and schools of practitioners in the world, and most practitioners of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, martial arts, ghosts, demons, and demons are not in the stream.

There are not many monks who really enter the hall and have real Taoism.

Take the Department of Ghosts and Gods of Xin'an County as an example.

The Department of Ghosts and Gods has three classes A, B, and C under its jurisdiction, and the inspectors of the three classes are all practitioners.

But, most of the three inspectors did not enter the product.

Once in the product, as long as you go through the qualifications, you will soon become the deputy team leader.

After becoming the deputy team leader, go one step further and become the team leader.

According to the usual practice, the heads of the third squad of the Department of Ghosts and Gods are all serious officials of the Dachang Immortal Court.

Chu Chen and Huang Fugui possessed the ninth rank of Taoism, but because of their seniority, they couldn't immediately become deputy team leaders.

However, they are regarded as quasi-sub-team leaders and enjoy the treatment of sub-team leaders.

When the two served as inspectors before, their monthly salary was five guanqian, ten jade coins, and some rice, flour, cloth and silk.

After entering the product, the treatment of the two directly doubled.

The monthly salary is [-] guan, [-] pieces of jade coins, and the amount of rice, flour, cloth and silk has also doubled.

The change in treatment really surprised the two of them, and it also made them deeply understand the huge gap between qualified monks and non-qualified monks.

Those who are not good are always not good, and they are not much better than ordinary people.

But once you enter the rank, you will enter the eyes of the imperial court and Dachang Immortal Court, and your status will suddenly rise.

Not to mention many other benefits, let's talk about the most practical.

After entering the product, according to the usual practice, the Yamen of Ghosts and Gods gave Chu Chen and Huang Fugui a one-time reward of two hundred jade coins each.

It is used to congratulate the two people who have entered the product and have truly embarked on the road of cultivation and seeking.

It was the first time for Chu Chen and Huang Fugui to see so much jade money.

When they went to the ghost market that day, the two of them saw a lot of good things, but unfortunately they were so poor that they could only live off their eye addiction, so they were really poor and embarrassed.

In addition, the treatment after entering the product is not limited to these.

After registering and registering at the Yamen of Ghosts and Gods, Chu Chen was quickly taken away by his master, Taoist Xu Ping.

Accompanied by him is the Deputy Metropolitan Guan Qingyun Daoist.

Two Taoist masters led Chu Chen to the County Town God's Temple to meet the Xin'an County Town God.

The City God of Xin'an County is an elegant middle-aged man, wearing the official uniform of the Dachang court, he is quite kind.

It is said that this City God was a Confucian official in front of him, and he was named the City God of Xin'an County because of his meritorious deeds.

"I've seen Xu Duguan and Qingyun Deputy Duguan."

The Lord Chenghuang was quite polite, and led the three of them to the side hall of the Chenghuang Temple to sit down.

Master Xu Ping and Taoist Qingyun made it clear what they came for—Chu Chen had entered the ranks, and asked the County Town God's Mansion to dispatch troops and horses to him.

"It's easy to say, as many soldiers and horses as you want!"

The county town god seemed to recognize Chu Chen, his face showed surprise, and he was extremely eager for Chu Chen, looking like he was all about him.

"Allow another 29 soldiers and horses, make up a whole number." Daoist Xu Ping ordered lightly.

"Row."

The City God was quite straightforward, and immediately dispatched 29 soldiers and horses to Chu Chen.

For a time, Chu Chenlu's soldiers and horses in the middle and lower altars reached fifty, and their strength became stronger and stronger.

This is another benefit after entering the product.

Ordinary Taoist priests, if they didn't join Xianting Gongmen and want to expand their troops, they would have to subdue ghosts and refine them everywhere, which would be time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Moreover, the ghosts in the wild are no match for the soldiers of the Town God's Temple.

The ghosts in the wild are perverse and vicious, they don't obey discipline, they are very difficult to use, their combat effectiveness is very poor, and they are easily lost.

Most of the elite soldiers of the Town God's Temple are heroic spirits who died on the battlefield.

After Chu Chen entered the ranks, his Taoism cultivation base soared, and he cast the food-sprinkling spell every day, which was more than enough to raise fifty soldiers and horses.

In fact, with his current cultivation base and salary, he can support more soldiers and horses.

The City God of Xin'an County was quite polite, and after mobilizing troops, he asked again:
"Nephew Chu Xian is very talented. Are these fifty soldiers too few, but do I need to allocate more? Don't worry, they are definitely elite soldiers from the mansion, and they are absolutely unambiguous."

"No need, I can't chew as much as I can, thank you City God for your kindness!"

Xu Ping said a long thank you.

Respectfully sent off by Lord Chenghuang, the three hurriedly left the Temple of the City God.

On the way, Master Xu Ping said:
"Soldiers and horses are more expensive than fine ones, especially the soldiers and horses that accompany mages. They must be fine, not too many, and you can't chew through too much."

Taoist Qingyun also echoed:
"That's right, you will become a fairy official in the future, and you will have authority. When you meet an enemy, you will open the altar and shake people at will. You can shake as many soldiers and horses as you want. The soldiers and horses with you must cooperate with the art of refining generals, practice hard, and train them well. "

Chu Chen nodded again and again, since the two Taoist masters said so, he naturally believed it.

Fifty soldiers and horses are not a lot, and his strength has greatly increased.
