Chapter 33 Mandatory Mission Mr. Qiu didn't care that Tao Tie chose a rubbing. Whether it is the ten taels of gold from the jade slip or the twenty taels of silver from the rubbings, none of them went into Mr. Qiu's pocket, so why bother about it? "Go ahead, don't get in the way of me basking in the sun." After handing the rubbing to Tao Tie, he threw the jade slip behind his head without looking back. Old Qiu waved his hand and ordered him to leave without even mentioning the twenty taels of silver. The position of the manager of the second floor of the library is a noble one, and one must not touch any money to avoid being tainted by the smell of money. After Mr. Qiu completes the registration, the missionary institute will deduct the money from Tao Tie’s bank account. If there is insufficient money in Tao Tie's account, the hospital will ask Tao Tie to make up the difference. It has nothing to do with Mr. Qiu. "Thank you, Mr. Qiu." Tao Tie also knew this rule. He took the rubbing of "Taiyi Fenguan Sword Art", bowed and saluted before turning around and leaving. Mr. Qiu casually glanced at Tao Tie's departing back and, not wanting to be distracted, lay back in the rocking chair and leisurely basked in the sun. Now that you are retired, the right thing to do is to enjoy life.
As for the troublesome matters like robbing weapons, let the younger generations like Junshi and this lucky boy take care of them. For the elderly with old limbs, it is most important to get some sun to prevent osteoporosis. After leaving the library, Tao Tie saw that it was almost time for the cafeteria to serve lunch, so he hurried over immediately. While slowly chewing the tasteless medicinal food, Tao Tie wondered how he should spend the afternoon. Formal students of the missionary academy, regardless of whether they have entered the path, entered the rank, or become a ninth-rank monk or above, only have two classes to attend in the one and a half hours from 08:00 to 11:00 every morning. After noon, you have free time and can allocate it as you wish to do whatever you want. Before the day before yesterday, Tao Tie had only entered the Tao, but had not yet entered the realm of cultivation. He was not yet considered a cultivator and could not practice or cast spells. Therefore, for the past two months, he spent every afternoon on the first floor of the library, wandering in the ocean of books. Now that I have become a ninth-rank cultivator, I naturally can no longer spend the entire afternoon reading books like I did before. Even books and classics are very important for spiritual practice. He needs to practice his magic and improve his various abilities as quickly as possible to fill in the gaps and make up for his shortcomings. In particular, the "Taiyi Fenguan Sword Art" which allows flying with a sword has the highest priority. You can't just run everywhere! How disgraceful that is! Tao Tie wanted to practice this way yesterday, but unfortunately he didn’t even have time to eat lunch before he was called away by Uncle Hui. After killing Li Zeyuan and returning to the missionary center, he counted the harvest, bought a cave, and finally got a good night's sleep. The whole afternoon passed like this, and I failed to practice even one spell as I wished. "No matter what, I must practice magic today and practice it for the whole afternoon!" "Practice the secret arts, slaying demons, swordsmanship, and the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword Technique!" Thinking of this unfinished plan, Tao Tie secretly made up his mind that he must make up for this regret.
Then he thought of another very important thing. If he had chosen the jade slip earlier, it would cost ten taels of gold, and his family's wealth would be emptied immediately! “We still have to find a way to continue to open source.” "Fifty taels of gold may seem like a lot, but it's not worth spending!" However, good things are always hard to come by. Tao Tie had just left the cafeteria and was about to return to his cave to practice magic when the black stone slab in his storage bag began to vibrate. He took it out and saw that it was another notice from the gatekeeper of the inner courtyard, and someone had an appointment to see him again. If it was someone else or something else, Tao Tie could choose not to see him. However, the person who came was Tan Sheng, the client of the first monster-catching mission, and he came under the name of negotiating the disputes over the monster-catching mission, so Tao Tie had to disappear. The demon hunters affiliated with the Demon Slayer Department and the Demon Extermination Department cannot completely ignore the task entrusters after completing the task. There are still two links: Task evaluation and dispute negotiation. Generally speaking, most of the task entrusters are unwilling to have conflicts with the monster catcher and will definitely give the monster catcher a five-star rating after completing the task. If they don’t even dare to give a bad review, they naturally won’t dare to initiate dispute negotiation. Therefore, Tao Tie never thought that his first monster-catching mission would lead to dispute negotiation! If Tao Tie doesn't plan to join the Demon Slaying Division or the Monster Extermination Division in the future, he doesn't need to care too much about mission evaluation and dispute negotiation. But that's what he thought, so he had to take it seriously! I couldn't help but feel a little irritated and cursed: "Gan!" Taking a deep breath, silently chanting the Heart Purification Mantra, triggering the characteristic [Pure Heart], adjusting his emotions, Tao Tie quickly walked towards the gatehouse. Things have already happened. There is no point in venting your emotions. It is better to resolve it as soon as possible. The sooner the dispute is resolved, the sooner you can go back to practicing magic without wasting too much time. Therefore, even though he was unhappy, when Tao Tie saw Tan Sheng coming alone at the gatehouse, he did not show any expression, but just said coldly: "Which part of the mission do you think needs to be negotiated? Just tell me, and tell me quickly. We can negotiate if we can, and if we can't reach an agreement, we can ask the Demon Slayer Division and the Demon Exorcist Division to intervene." This sentence, both in terms of content and tone, is harsh. It was as if Tao Tie didn't care about the task evaluation and dispute records at all. Tan Sheng was wearing the uniform of a county literature student, with a sword on his waist. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and looked masculine and handsome. After hearing what Tao Tie said, he was not angry, but smiled slightly: "In fact, there is no dispute about that mission that needs to be negotiated. I was just worried that Daoyou Tao would not want to come out to see me after knowing the reason for my request. So I just found a random excuse to see Daoyou Tao first." Having said that, Tan Sheng took out a jade communication terminal in front of Tao Tie and cancelled the dispute negotiation. I also gave it a five-star rating. Tao Tie was not happy about this at all. On the contrary, Tao Tie felt a little irritated. Mr. Tan did not send out a meeting invitation in the normal way, but instead did not hesitate to offend him and tricked him out under the pretext of negotiating a dispute. He must have had some ulterior motive. And the ambition is very big.
No matter what Tan Sheng intends to do, it will definitely be trouble for him. What does Tao Tie need most at this stage? It’s a practice method! It’s meditation! It's precipitation! The last thing you need is to get into trouble and waste time. So Tao Tie turned around and left, unwilling to listen to even one more word from Tan Sheng. I was afraid that if I walked too slowly, I would be dragged into the trouble brought by Mr. Tan. Faced with Tao Tie's reaction, Tan Sheng was quite shocked and surprised, but he did not freeze in his tracks. He directly operated on the communication terminal and used the backup plan he had prepared before coming to the missionary institute to look for Tao Tie. Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste. As a Confucian scholar, it is very reasonable to make more plans. Tao Tie had only taken a few steps away when he felt the black stone slab vibrate again, and he received a new message. This message came from the Monster Catcher Management Office of the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Extermination Department, and the content was a mandatory mission. Since the demon hunters affiliated with the Demon Slayer Department and the Demon Exorcist Department enjoy the benefits, they must also bear the corresponding obligations: A mandatory mission of the corresponding grade must be completed once a year. Failure to complete the mandatory mission will greatly affect the internal rating of the demon hunter by the Demon Slayer Department and the Demon Exorcist Department, and reduce the merit points. Usually, mandatory missions are officially issued by the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Extermination Department, but there are special cases. Such as now. Tan Sheng begged for a favor from a teacher of the county literary department, and in the name of the county literary department, asked the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Exorcism Department to issue a targeted compulsory task to the ninth-rank demon catcher Tao Tie. Mr. Tan had no idea how many favors and connections would be needed to accomplish this. Tao Tie was even more confused and didn't want to understand. He only knew that the more favors he had to use up and the more relationships he had to smooth over, the more trouble Mr. Tan would bring. While thinking this, Tao Tie probed his spiritual sense into the black stone slab and read the specific content of the mandatory task distractedly. Mission brief: Escort the county literature student Tan Jinxuan to Wushan Temple in the western suburbs and ensure his safety. There is only one clue provided: this task is the sequel to the previous task of the ninth-rank monster catcher Tao Tie, and is related to the Hundred Beauties Erotic Picture. The wording is vague and evasive, revealing a strong sense of weirdness. It really is a big trouble! So Tao Tie pretended not to know and quickened his pace. He just felt that entering the Demon Slaying Division and the Demon Exorcism Division would be more conducive to his dealing with the impending catastrophe, but it was not necessary to enter. It is not impossible to stay in the missionary system and develop. Therefore, Tao Tie did not intend to take on this mandatory task and wanted to avoid this big trouble. If it affects the internal rating, it will affect the internal rating; if it reduces the merit points, it will reduce the merit points. As long as I lay flat, nothing else matters.
The Demon Slaying Division and the Monster Extermination Division can do whatever they want. At worst, I won’t go in! Tan Sheng saw Tao Tie's determination and felt more and more shocked and surprised. Is he so temperamental? But it doesn’t matter, he has additional preparations and a backup plan. I only heard Tan Sheng shouting loudly: "Fellow Daoist Tao, I know that you discovered the strangeness of the scroll of 100 beauties' erotic paintings at that time, and you have reported it to the instructor Huang Junshi of the Missionary Institute. Fellow Daoist Tao, have you ever considered that under such circumstances, I can come to you today, and dare to come to you in this way. Is it because I have obtained the consent of the county literature, and the tacit approval of the Missionary Institute and even Instructor Huang? Fellow Daoist Tao, you don't want to make it difficult for Instructor Huang to help you all the time, right?" After hearing this, Tao Tie's footsteps inevitably paused slightly. It’s not that he really believed what Mr. Tan said and thought that Instructor Huang Junshi would condone Mr. Tan to meet him in this way, but he felt that the missionary institute might really condone such behavior. After all, Instructor Huang is Instructor Huang, and the missionary school is the missionary school, and there is a big difference between the two. This is what is called the collective interest, which is greater than individual interest. At this moment, Tao Tie heard a familiar gentle voice: "I didn't acquiesce, but the hospital did acquiesce for the sake of interests. You take this task, go ahead and do it boldly, don't worry about anything, I will follow you secretly." The person who passed the message was naturally the one who put a "On Vacation" sign on the table on the third floor of the library. Tao Tie originally thought that it was Instructor Huang Junshi who had gone to relax somewhere unknown. Tao Tie could hear the hidden self-blame in Instructor Huang's words. It seemed that in Instructor Huang's view, he had clearly promised to reduce Tao Tie's presence as much as possible in the discovery that the Hundred Beauties Spring Palace Painting was absorbing the literary energy of Confucian scholars, but he did not do it, which made him feel guilty. Although Tao Tie didn't know what happened behind the scenes. But he had a hunch that Instructor Huang must have tried to stop it, but failed in the end. So we should take advantage of the situation. Since we cannot stop this from happening, we should just go with the flow and let him actively do things that the hospital tacitly approves. And Instructor Huang, just like he did yesterday, hid in the dark and accompanied Tao Tie to protect his life. This…… Tao Tie couldn't help but feel moved. Teacher Huang is such a good person! With this in mind, Tao Tie turned around smoothly and naturally, facing Tan Sheng's gaze, and asked in a stiff tone: "The missionary institute acquiesces, so what? Are you threatening me?" "Ok?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Tan raised his eyebrows slightly. There is a theory of the Three Refuges in Taoist practice, namely, refuge in the Tao, refuge in the scriptures, and refuge in the master. "Tao" refers to the great way without name, form, sound or color; The "Classics" carry the Dao and are the materialization of the Dao; "Teacher" means someone who teaches, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts. The outer-level Taoist monks in the Dayong Tianchao Missionary Academy system are a little special. Unlike traditional inner-level Taoist monks, they rarely worship a "master" in a formal manner. For these outer monks, the missionary academy is their "master" and the instructors with whom they have close relationships are their "masters". In most cases, they must respect them. Tao Tie's words seemed quite disrespectful. However, Mr. Tan only complained in his heart and did not show it. Instead, he smiled and said, "I can pay more." Mandatory tasks are also tasks.
Monster hunters must be paid for completing their missions. This time, Tan Sheng, in the name of the county literature, asked the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Exorcism Department to issue a targeted compulsory task. The reward offered was the upper limit that a ninth-rank demon catcher could get from the Demon Slaying Department and the Demon Exorcism Department - one hundred taels of silver! After tax! Of course, if the mission client gives the monster catcher extra money, that’s another matter, and there’s no upper limit. Facing the sugar-coated bullets fired by Tan Sheng, Tao Tie remained unmoved: "My life is more valuable." This sentence is still a polite refusal, but the attitude is not as firm as before. The implication is that it’s not that the task cannot be accepted, but the money must be in place! After hearing this, Tan Sheng was not annoyed, but instead confirmed his guess. This new monk from the missionary monastery, who was born as a dock porter and a rookie monster hunter, is indeed no ordinary person! Yesterday, I really relied on my eyesight and knowledge to see the weirdness of the Hundred Beauties Erotic Pictures, so I was able to easily decipher the "Illusionary Realm" of the Erotic Dream. It was worth it that after he learned that Qin Shousheng's friend had died of exhaustion at home, several students who were familiar with Qin Shousheng's friend had been sucked away by his literary energy, the county literature received ridicule from the missionary academy, and his mentor had lost face in front of his old enemy, he immediately volunteered to go on the adventure himself. The first thing he thought of was to ask the monster catcher Tao Daoyou to accompany him to the Lanruo where Qin Shousheng's friend copied the mural of the Hundred Beauties Spring Palace, to investigate the situation. He believed that with the secret protection of the county literary instructor and the teachers of the missionary academy, and the help of the vision and knowledge of the monster catcher Tao Daoyou, Tan Jinxuan would be able to uncover the secret of how the Hundred Beauties Spring Palace Painting could absorb the literary spirit of Confucian scholars. We will also be able to seek justice for Qin Shousheng's friend who died of exhaustion. The most important thing is that Tan Jinxuan will definitely clear his reputation and regain the face he has lost. What kind of Japanese paper maniac, masturbation master, erotic genius... Don't hit people in the face, and don't expose their weaknesses when scolding them. The scolding of that group of people was really ugly! It's more than just insulting. It's simply disgraceful! Pooh! ! ! What a wicked thing! It’s his mother’s fault! After secretly cursing some obscene words in his heart, Tan Jinxuan suddenly felt a little hot in his heart and his lower abdomen became swollen and restless. To be honest, it is definitely not good to have the literary spirit sucked away, but the beauties in the Hundred Beauties Spring Palace Picture are really beautiful. Especially Xiaoqian. Just thinking about it, Tan Jinxuan couldn't help but stand up and salute, and at the same time felt longing in his heart. I don't know if I can see the beauty again this time. Renew the relationship? (End of this chapter)
