Celestial Immortal

Chapter 70 Mine Corpse King
Before, Daoist Xu Ping prevented Chu Chen from revealing his true strength, the purpose was to protect him, and he didn't want him to get further involved in the "Bone Empress" case and suffer danger that he shouldn't have to bear.

But right now, the case of Empress Bone is settled, and Chu Chen has also been successfully promoted to a fairy official, becoming one of the county's ghost and god department talkers.

There is no need to hide his strength.

Not only do not hide it, but vigorously promote it.

In this way, Chu Chen can secure his position as the ninth-rank immortal official and the deputy head of the third class of the general commander, and can establish the prestige of a "talker" in front of the third class of patrol envoys.

Otherwise, whether it was the three deputy governors or the patrol envoys below, they would all regard Chu Chen as lucky to be promoted to a higher position.

Master Xu Pingdao considered this, and began to build momentum for Chu Chen, asking him to prove his strength and win the approval of the ghosts and gods.

This case, which seems to involve a ninth-grade monster, is Chu Chen's first step in "establishing his prestige".

"The deputy head of the chief, the case is like this. There is a village called Wagang Village sixty miles from the east and west suburbs of the city. Yesterday afternoon, some villagers reported to the Department of Ghosts and Gods, saying that there was a corpse disaster in the village, and there were zombies infesting it."

"Last night, my subordinates went to the countryside with their colleagues to conduct an on-the-spot inspection. They indeed saw a zombie with their own eyes. However, the zombie can fly and spells. I'm afraid it is a top-notch corpse king. The subordinates did not dare to take it seriously and did not compete with it. They came back overnight to report. Department of ghosts and gods."

On the way, Wu Gang and Wu Yi, the inspectors of the Department of Ghosts and Gods, reported the case to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen nodded again and again.

The two Wu family brothers are ordinary monks, not high-ranking, but they have rich experience in handling cases and are experienced in doing things. They are indeed officials.

If they are high-grade monsters, if they attack rashly, not only will they be in danger, but they will also easily startle the snake and make the monster escape.

For any monster, the first time is the best way to kill it.

If they failed to solve it several times, the monsters are not fools, so they will naturally become more sophisticated and difficult to deal with.

Just like fishing, the fish in a pond has been caught for a long time, and the fish have learned to be smart, so it is not easy to take the bait, not to mention the spiritually awakened monsters.

"How did this corpse king come, can you investigate clearly?"

Chu Chen asked.

The two inspectors nodded and told the story one by one.

In the early years, a large copper mine was discovered near Wagang Village.

After decades of government mining, the rich ore has been mined out, the veins are gradually barren, and the mining cost is getting higher and higher, making it unprofitable.

As a result, the mine was closed.

Some miners left, and some miners didn't leave at all, so they married wives and had children nearby and settled down.

As more people lived together, Wagang Village was born, and the once devastated mines gradually turned into green water and green mountains again.

After the villagers of Wagang Village settled down, they lived here for generations, and occasionally encountered demons and ghosts invading and persecuting them. However, with the protection of the imperial court and fairy courts, it was generally stable, and the incense of each family continued to be passed on.

A few months ago, a strange incident of livestock disappearing happened in Wagang Village.

At first, the villagers didn't pay much attention to it, they just thought it was a wild animal caught in the mountain, or someone stole it, and they didn't think that it was a demon causing trouble.

The day before yesterday, a villager went to the ancient mine to graze cattle, and the person disappeared. So yesterday the village chief organized the villagers to search, and finally found the corpse of the villager and the old scalper near the ancient mine.

Whether it is a human or a cow, the essence of the whole body has been sucked dry by the zombies, turning into a skin.

"The chief's deputy team leader, his subordinates believe that these zombies were originally miners who died in the mine. Over the years, they were nourished by the temperature of the gold and stone in the underground mine veins, and the corpses became stiff."

Brothers Wu Yi and Wu Gang expressed the judgment in their hearts.

Chu Chen nodded slightly: "If that's the case, I'm afraid this place is a place to raise corpses. After more than ten years of mining, not one or two miners died in disaster. There may be many zombies."

"That's right!" The two Wu brothers nodded, then looked at the bookcase behind Chu Chen, and said:

"The chief and deputy team leader, the Wagangshan mine is ahead, do you want to call out the little devil first, we may encounter the corpse king at any time."

Speaking of this, Wu Gang and Wu Yi brothers seemed a little embarrassed, for fear of offending the new "talker" of the Department of Ghosts and Gods because of their own words.

But, it’s okay not to say it.

Everyone in the Ghost and God Department knew that the reason why this apprentice Tuguan was able to be promoted to an official official and become one of the county ghost and god department's speakers was entirely due to his background and luck.

He has talent, and he has become a product at a young age, and no one dares to underestimate it.

But strength, no one is optimistic.

After all, he has just entered Taoism less than a month later, and has not mastered a few serious spells, so what amazing supernatural powers can he have!
Chu Chen, the deputy head of the general manager, is just a showman. Not only is he not as good as the deputy heads of the other classes, but even many veteran inspectors are better than him.

This seems to have become the consensus of the County Ghost and God Department.

In the past two days, many colleagues have talked about him in private, and the words are quite disdainful and sour.

Chu Chen laughed it off and didn't get annoyed by it.

It is mediocre not to be envied by others. It is normal to say something sour when you lose the competition.

"My master's ghost pet has followed the master, and he didn't come today."

Brothers Wu Gang and Wu Yi's complexion collapsed, and their complexions suddenly became ugly.

Xu Duguan didn't bring the ghost pet, so how to deal with the case?
This is not another trip in vain.

In astonishment, the two brothers stopped and looked around, as if they were worried that the corpse king was nearby, jumping out at any time and devouring people's lives.

Chu Chen turned his head and looked at the two of them in surprise.

"Why don't you go?"

"This is the chief and deputy team leader, this."

The two Wu family brothers laughed uglier than they cried, and hesitated for a long time, wanting to speak.

They want to live, but they don't want to die, and they don't want to feed zombies!

Chu Chen smiled and guessed what the two of them were thinking.

No wonder the master asked him to accept a case involving ninth-grade monsters. If he didn't prove his strength, he would not be able to stand up in the Department of Ghosts and Gods.

"Since you are worried, go back to Wagang Village and wait. I already know the place, so I don't need you to lead the way."

Chu Chen didn't force the two of them, wasting his tongue.

After speaking, Chu Chen strode towards the original site of the mine.

The two Wu family brothers looked at each other, showing embarrassment.

If they followed their original intentions, the two would turn around and leave without hesitation.

After working as inspectors for so many years, they are not fearless young people who are not afraid of anything. They don't fight uncertain battles. Once they sense danger, the two will not hesitate to protect themselves wisely.

After all, those who were born in the Gong family can shake people, but they can't beat them by themselves, and they can move reinforcements without rushing forward foolishly.

But this time, the two hesitated.

The boss is on the job, but the two of them ran away. What kind of talk is that.

If there is any good or bad for the chief and deputy team leader, the two brothers will definitely be unlucky.

Even if An Ran came back, the two brothers couldn't afford to leave.

After some struggle, the two brothers gritted their teeth and finally chased after them.
