Celestial Immortal

Chapter 78 Errand!night guard
It was already midnight when Chu Chen returned to the County Department of Ghosts and Gods.

Going to the ghost market today, he didn't ask for leave to go out, but a normal rotation.

He rests during the day, and at night he is on night shift, guarding the whole county all night.

The folks jokingly called it "Night Watchman".

This name is unremarkable, but it is the greatest compliment that the common people give to those who silently contribute in the dark.

Outside, anyone who mentions the night watchman will be praised by the people with a thumbs up.

Chu Chen joined the Ghost and God Division for more than a month, and it was his first night watch.

Being a "Night Watchman" is not something you can do casually.

Either an old official, or an entry-level monk with quite good magical powers.

Chu Chen didn't make it when he was the patrol envoy in class B.

As soon as he showed his strength, the ghost and god department immediately assigned him a night job.

After being promoted to be an official immortal official, Chu Chen had a study room that belonged to him alone in the side hall of the meeting hall.

He went straight to the office and study room, summoned the clerk, and handed over the certificate of sale of the corpse king to the other party.

"Chief and deputy team leader, leave this matter to the younger one, and I will help you to finish it as soon as possible."

The middle-aged civil servant had a flattering face.

"Well, then there is work."

Chu Chen sent the middle-aged civil servants away, and went straight to the meeting hall without staying idle.

"Brother Chu!"

As soon as he entered the meeting hall of the Department of Ghosts and Gods, Huang Fugui smiled honestly, looking quite pleasantly surprised.

"Fugui, are you on night duty too?" Chu Chen was quite pleasantly surprised to see Huang Fugui.

Although the two were in the same yamen, but after he was promoted to a fairy official, the duties and errands of the two of them changed drastically, and their communication naturally decreased a lot.

"Well, my uncle and I are on night watch together, hehehe, my dream when I was young was to be a night watchman, to protect one side, and let the people sleep peacefully. This time, my dream has come true, fulfilling my childhood boast. "

Huang Fugui seemed quite proud.

"pretty good."

Chu Chen nodded. The monks also cultivated step by step from ordinary people. Everyone had nightmares when they were children, and they were worried that monsters would break in and eat people and catch children.

To become a "night watchman" and let thousands of people sleep peacefully, this is the wish and ambition that many people have when they were young, simple and sincere.

"Deputy Huang is in charge!"

"Chu Chen, you are here, you and I are on duty tonight."

The vice governor Guan Huang Mei was quite enthusiastic, and stretched out his hand to guide Chu Chen to sit down, and ordered his nephew to pour tea and water.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with being on duty at night. There are people guarding each class in various places. The two of us only need to deal with emergencies. Sometimes, there is nothing to do all night. You and I drink tea and practice with confidence. It's finished."

The deputy governor, Huang Mei, introduced his experience with a smile, and made the task very easy.

But, let's talk about it, the night duty is not so simple.

Especially with only these two immortal officials around, if any monsters and gods in the county make troubles and fail to solve the troubles in time, they will be fully responsible, and they must not be careless.

Sure enough, after the encouraging opening remarks and polite remarks, Deputy Chief Huang Mei began to talk about various precautions, the process of dealing with emergencies, and so on.

Some of them were mentioned by Master Xu Ping, some of them were Huang Mei's personal experience, and there were no details.

After listening to the words, Chu Chen benefited a lot, and had a real and intuitive understanding of the "night watchman" job of the ghost and god department.

Deputy Huang Mei said that he could go back to the study to practice, and it would not be too late to come out when there was an emergency.

But, on Chu Chen's first night on duty, how could he run back to the office and study so stupidly, no matter what, he had to watch tonight and be familiar with all kinds of situations.

When he gets familiar with the night watch job in the future, he can be more casual.

As Huang Mei said, under normal circumstances there is nothing important to alarm the two of them.

Two hours passed without a single emergency.

That is to say, two cases of lone ghosts howling and disturbing the people are reported below.

As soon as the inspector took action, the matter was resolved.

"How about it, Chu Chen, Fugui? Do you feel bored?"

Huang Mei took a sip of tea contentedly, and said to the two with a smile.

"It's really a bit boring, but it's a good thing that nothing happens. Isn't our vigil just for the safety of the people?"

Chu Chen commented quite pertinently.

"Exorcism" is much more interesting than this, and he still misses exorcism a little bit.

Compared with Chu Chen, Huang Fugui had more opinions, with a mournful face, he said:
"The dream is broken. When I was a child, I thought the night watch was a majestic and passionate job. I didn't expect it to be so boring."

Deputy Huang Mei looked at Huang Fugui angrily, and said:
"What do you know, kid? It's a hero to slay demons vigorously, but the night watchman who is silently guarding is not a hero?"

"Frizzled! Learn more from Chu Chen, the greatest contribution of the night watchman is the tranquility of the night, free from disasters and difficulties, what do you know?"

Deputy Huang Mei scolded him for a while, nodding his head in agreement with what he said was rich and noble.

Chu Chen smiled helplessly. He hated some elders to use him as an example to educate their children, but it made him embarrassed.

Fortunately, Fugui is not the kind of narrow-minded person who winks at Chu Chen while listening to the training, and doesn't care about being scolded at all.

The three were talking and laughing, feeling that the whole county was safe and sound.

As a result, things really came.

Thirty miles north of the city, in Peach Blossom Village, a ghostly attack was suspected.

The dispatched inspector lost contact and the situation is unknown.

"Second uncle, leave this job to me and brother Chu, we go to work, you just need to rest."

Huang Fugui had grown impatient with sitting for a long time, and when he heard about the case, he immediately volunteered.

Chu Chen was also willing to go on a business trip to kill ghosts, so he got up immediately.

Seeing this, Deputy Chief Huang Mei shook his head and waved his hands to signal for the two of them to leave early and return early.

Chu Chen and Huang Fugui hurried out of the city, picked up the picture scroll presented by the scholar, summoned Pegasus, and went straight to Taohua Village.

Not long after, the two arrived at the entrance of Taohua Village, thirty miles north of the city.

In Taohua Village, it was pitch black all around, only the village was brightly lit and quite lively.

"Brother Chu, the villagers should have taken refuge in the Earth Temple. With the protection of the Earth Temple and the soldiers and horses in the temple, I think the people are safe and sound."

Huang Fugui is a native of the mountains, and he is very familiar with these situations, and he can make a judgment at a glance.

Chu Chen nodded slightly.

The land gods in most villages have mediocre mana and supernatural powers, and there is nothing they can do about the more vicious monsters and ghosts.

Under normal circumstances, the God of the Earth will let the villagers hide in the Earth Temple for refuge.

Near the Earth Temple, no matter how weak the Earth God is, he can firmly control the power of heaven and earth.

As long as the demons and ghosts do not have supernatural powers enough to destroy mountains and temples, they generally cannot attack earth temples.

"Go, let's go into the village and have a look."

Chu Chen and Huang Fugui entered the village, and as expected, they sensed a faint ghostly aura.

It's just that the breath is very weak, if there is nothing.

Come to think of it, the ghost had already left.

When he came to the Temple of Earth, he felt the faint enchantment of the power of heaven and earth, and Chu Chen pinched the magic formula with his hands.

"In this land, I am the master of Dachang Xianting, the right judge of the North Pole Exorcism Court, Chu Chen, the deputy head of the third division of the Xin'an County Ghost and God Division, and I am hereby rushing here. Please show yourself and see me as soon as possible." Law!"
