Chapter 73 The End of the Universe... Soon, they were full and satisfied. The five little ghosts felt sleepy and immediately returned to Tao Tie's form and fell into a deep sleep. This is both a kind of self-cultivation and a continuous transformation. Tao Tie put the palm-sized round shield-shaped turtle shell into the storage bag he had taken back when he summoned the five little ghosts earlier, and started searching again in the side hall without giving up. For some reason, he always had a hunch that even if the Eighty-Seventh Son died completely under the Pure Yang Sword, which was extremely powerful against ghost cultivators and ghost gods, without even any ashes left, it was impossible that only a tortoise shell would be left behind. Other magical instruments and magic weapons will be discussed separately. What about the storage instruments or magic treasures that almost every practitioner carries with them? It's impossible that Eighty-Seven knew that he would encounter disaster tonight and transferred his wealth in advance, or he was careless and forgot to bring it with him. It's impossible when you think about it.
But no matter how hard Tao Tie looked, he even turned over the "Land of Illusion" on the mural of the Heavenly Girl Scattering Flowers, but he just couldn't find it. "Ugh!" With a sigh, Tao Tie gave up reluctantly. It’s not that he suddenly became “generous” and regarded gold and silver as dirt. Instead, Tao Tie changed his thought process and thought that perhaps these material possessions were not meant for him, which was why he could not find them. If that's the case, then what's the point of working so hard? Give up that one thought and the world will become wider in an instant. Tao Tie calmed himself, walked out of the side hall, walked out of Wushan Temple, and turned on his [Clairvoyance] and [Super Ear] to look for Mo Yuhan, deputy monitor of Class B, and Taoist Qingyun, deputy monitor of Class C, whom he had invited to help. With careful consideration, Tao Tie quickly found the location of the two people. And found that the two had just finished fighting. The twelve men under Eighty-Seven were captured by Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun, and none of them escaped. "You two, thank you for your hard work tonight." Tao Tie turned into a wisp of breeze, floated in front of the two people, and bowed politely. Taoist Qingyun waved the whisk in his hand lightly and returned the salute without saying anything. Mo Yuhan clasped his fists in return and said, "No, we should thank Team Leader Tao for giving us the opportunity to make a contribution." From the very beginning, Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun knew that Tao Tie was using Tan Jinxuan and his fiancée as bait tonight, targeting the City God of Liuxian County. They were willing to participate not only because the plan had been approved by the governor, but also to make a contribution. Tao Tie is not the only one who needs to establish his authority and demonstrate his abilities. "Tao Bantou, what should we do next?"
After the polite conversation, Mo Yuhan immediately asked in a subtle way, "Just take them back? Will it have a bad impact?" This is also the issue that Taoist Qingyun is concerned about. He was very glad to have someone to speak for him so he didn't have to speak himself, which saved him some energy as he didn't want to say anything. When Mo Yuhan mentioned the "bad influence", he was of course referring to the reputation of the Liuxian County government and the City God's underworld. Although the Department of Immortals and Gods is not in the same system as the county government and the City God's Underworld, they are all functional departments of the imperial court and can be considered colleagues. If it is not necessary, it is better not to offend others rashly. There is nothing wrong with using the City God and the underworld to gain merit. Everyone just does his job. But after having achieved merit, Mo Yuhan felt that he should still consider the face of some brother departments. Tao Tie immediately understood what Mo Yuhan meant and calmly asked, "It's night now, but we are aboveboard, aren't we?" This rhetorical question directly expresses the attitude. Taoist Qingyun nodded. Mo Yuhan didn't object either. The three of them quickly reached a consensus. Since you are doing it openly, then do it openly to the end and don't leave any suspicion of private dealings. So the three men took the eleven chief clerks of the City God's Underworld and an evil monk back to the county town. Halfway through the journey, they ran into Tan Jinxuan, who had escaped from Wushan Temple with the help of a trick performed in advance by the female teacher Li Jianyan, who was willing to reveal her name. At that time, Tan Jinxuan took advantage of the eighty-seventh son's shock and not only escaped himself, but also brought out the ghost Xiaoqian and Qin Shousheng, who would rather be a ghost than a human being. At this moment, the ghost Xiaoqian was standing on the side of the road, and Tan Jinxuan was squatting on the ground, talking to Qin Shousheng, who was barely breathing. Everything in the world is nothing but one qi. Ghosts also need to breathe to survive. It’s just that their energy is not the energy needed by living people, but rather a kind of life energy with a special form and interest. To put it roughly, living people need oxygen, while dead people need inert gases such as nitrogen. "Brother Tan..." Qin Shousheng, the dead ghost with a tiger's head and a human body, said weakly, "I regret it so much!" However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. The reason why Qin Shousheng was on the verge of death was because Eighty-Seven had caused fatal damage when he pinched his head earlier; The second reason is that Qin Shousheng is an alternative accomplice of the Eighty-Seven Sons.
The eighty-seven sons of the master are all dead, how can the ghost survive? All this was caused by Qin Shousheng's foolish and blind belief in the "Buddha's Sutra of Longevity and Life". False and evil scriptures are false and evil scriptures. They cannot be read, recited, or even practiced. Due to limited talent, the Confucian path is just moving slowly, not impassable. But Qin Shou had evil thoughts and practiced false and evil scriptures, which led to this situation. He is not to be pitied. Understanding this truth, Tan Jinxuan simply held the hand Qin Shousheng extended and did not follow up with any words of comfort. "Brother Tan," Qin Shousheng was dying again, and before he died completely, he said kindly and solemnly, "Listen to my advice. Although the art of sex is good, you still need to read more books. Books..." When he said this, Qin Shousheng's voice began to tremble and he had difficulty breathing. The ghost's body instantly became much more dissipated, but it did not completely die after all, and it could still hold on for a while. Qin Shousheng didn't want to delay for even a second. He took a deep breath, mustered up all his strength, and exhorted loudly: "Brother Tan, you should read more books! There are beautiful women in books. Read more books, change your style every day, and a real man will never have trouble finding a wife!" After Qin Shousheng shouted this admonition in front of Tan Jinxuan's fiancée ghost wife Xiaoqian, his tiger head tilted and he cried. It turned into a dark ghostly aura and completely dissipated in the world. Taoist Qingyun had a blank expression on his face. Mo Yuhan glanced at Tan Jinxuan with disdain and subconsciously took a step away from him. Tao Tie was calm and said indifferently: "Are you going back now? If not, we will go back first." After saying this, without waiting for Tan Jinxuan's reply, Tao Tie went straight back to the county town. Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun naturally followed immediately. Tan Jinxuan took a deep look at the place where Qin Shousheng completely died, expressing his few remaining sorrows. Then he took the hand of his fiancée ghost wife Xiaoqian and followed the three people in front. And the twelve prisoners driven out by the three men. These twelve prisoners were the reason why Tao Tie, Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun walked back to the city. Even when walking, practitioners' pace is still fast. Soon, the group of people and the ghost arrived at the city gate. Then he saw two people and a ghost standing side by side: the county magistrate Miao Zongren, the director of the Department of Immortals and Gods Huang Junshi, and the City God Ke Youqiu. Mr. Qiu joked before that these three were the three giants of Liuxian County. This statement would not be true before tonight. After tonight, the name will be worthy of it. Without waiting for Miao Zongren and Ke Youqiu to speak, Huang Junshi said directly: "Leave these to County Magistrate Miao and City God Ke to deal with, and you can go back and rest. The credit you deserve will not be shortchanged." As he spoke, Huang Junshi turned his head to look at the county magistrate and the city god, and said in a firm tone, as if asking, "I think you two think so too, right?" "Of course!"
City God Ke Youqiu was the first to express his opinion, "I will submit a memorial as soon as I return to report the achievements of the three talented people, no, four talented people, of the Immortal God Department." "The same goes for me." County Magistrate Miao Zongren echoed indifferently. The Immortal God Department took action and arrested a group of "traitors" in the City God and the Underworld. Naturally, the Immortal God Department itself or the City God and the Underworld should have submitted a petition. What is played is naturally the matter. Whether you are asking for merit or guilt depends on your respective roles and performance in the matter. There is no doubt that Huang Junshi's willingness to transfer the "insiders" to Ke Youqiu, who truly holds the power of the Liuxian County City God's underworld, is the greatest help to Ke Youqiu. In exchange, it was only natural for Ke Youqiu to come forward and ask for credit from Tao Tie, Mo Yuhan, Taoist Qingyun, and Tan Jinxuan. "Yes, I take care of everything." Tao Tie, Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun responded in unison. In this situation, Tan Jinxuan has no right to speak and can only be represented by his own team leader. "Huang Duguan Gaoyi." Ke Youqiu clasped his hands together, bowed to Mr. Huang, and said sincerely, "From now on, if you need my help, please let Mr. Huang know. Although I am incompetent, I can still help you." Then, Ke Youqiu blushed: "But please forgive me for being rude tonight. There is a lot of trouble in the underworld, and I have to rush back to deal with it. Sorry! Both of you, I'll take my leave!" After he finished speaking, Ke Youqiu bowed to Huang Junshi and Miao Zongren to express his apology. Then, he waved his sleeves, swept away the eleven "ghosts" and a strange monk, and went into the netherworld, back to the City God's underworld. "Manager Huang, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave." Miao Zongren came here just to accompany guests and didn't stay long. He bowed and left. There were only four people from the Immortal God Department and a ghost left at the city gate. Soon they entered the city and went home. Tan Jinxuan had the idea of inviting several of his superiors to his home to attend his wedding with Xiaoqian. But I really can't bring myself to say it. I had no choice but to give up. Tao Tie returned to his cave, carefully reviewed what happened and the battle that night, reflected on himself, and then fell asleep peacefully. I have consumed too much energy tonight. Sleep is more restorative than meditation. No matter how turbulent the outside world is. I sleep peacefully. Sleep until you wake up naturally.
All your mental strength and magical powers are naturally restored to perfection, and the whole person is refreshed from the inside out. There is also a mysterious feeling growing in my heart. If his cultivation level had not jumped from the ninth level to the eighth level not long ago, Tao Tie would have been able to grasp this impulse and easily force the amount of his magic power to the level below the seventh level. But Tao Tie was not so anxious. Not only that, but he also tried his best to polish his magic power which was already extremely pure and without any trace of temper while collecting herbs and refining qi after finishing his morning lessons. I never thought about making a breakthrough. Many times, walking slower is not a bad thing; on the contrary, it can help you walk more steadily. At the hour of Mao, Tao Tie, who was not in a hurry to break through, arrived at the office of the Immortal God Department to attend the morning meeting and go on duty. As soon as he arrived at the martial arts arena where the daily morning and evening meetings were held, Tao Tie noticed that everyone on the field, whether formal, temporary or non-staff, all turned their eyes to him. Especially the few people in Gongcao. There were many different emotions in those looks, and two of the same emotions. That is envy and admiration! Tao Tie's heart skipped a beat and he immediately guessed what had happened to cause them to be in the same state. He took out the communication terminal from his storage bag and entered the "News" section, which he rarely browsed. Sure enough, I saw a bold headline at the top. The content does not need to be elaborated. It is nothing more than using the cultivation level of an eighth level or higher to kill ghosts and gods of a sixth level or lower. The title is not shocking at all, and the text is simple and straightforward. But in short, Tao Tie became popular. "Tsk!" Sucking his teeth, Tao Tie, who was mentally prepared after Mr. Qiu's special reminder, put away the communication terminal and calmly walked to the seat of the deputy head of Class A. He kept his eyes straight ahead along the way, not caring at all about other people's gazes. I was just secretly thinking in my heart what I should do to prevent the heat of this matter from continuing to rise. Don't let your reputation grow further. Tao Tie still understood the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind and the bird that sticks its head out gets shot down. Fortunately, Huang Junshi, who brought three deputy stewards to the martial arts arena, saved Tao Tie from being watched by everyone. It is not an exaggeration to say that Huang Junshi hates formalism. After he stood still, he immediately took out a scroll of silk and unfolded it, reading aloud: "Now, after verification, the merits of Liuxian County Immortal God Department Inspectors Tao Tie, Mo Yuhan, and Taoist Qingyun are true, and they are each promoted to the ninth-rank Inspector. Tao Tie has the greatest merit, so he is promoted to the ninth-rank Metropolitan Inspector. This order will be carried out as soon as it arrives."
After reading the personnel appointment details on the silk, a hint of helplessness flashed across Huang Junshi's eyes. The Department of Immortals and Gods is indeed a key government office that the Celestial Empire has spent a lot of effort and invested huge resources to establish. However, because it was newly established, there is no representative figure with a solid foundation and influence in the court. As a result, although it was originally a good thing to grant an official position, the approval document issued by the Ministry of Personnel was not written with any care. It's neither fish nor fowl, and has no aesthetic appeal! Tao Tie and the other two did not have the "sentimentality" that Huang Junshi had. The three chief clerks and clerks at the martial arts arena, as well as the three shifts of formal, temporary and extra-staff inspectors, were extremely envious. An inspector is just an inspector. Even if he has a formal position, he is just a clerk. Add a three-character prefix to the ninth-rank inspector, and it becomes "official". The difference between an official and a clerk is not as great as heaven and earth, but at least as great as the difference between heaven and earth. Represents two completely different identities, statuses, and welfare. He is a ninth-rank inspector general, not to mention his higher rank. The word "都", if taken seriously, can manage all the inspectors of the three shifts. Including two officials, Mo Yuhan, the ninth-rank inspector, and Taoist Qingyun. From then on, Tao Tie not only received a generous salary every month, but also received subsidies for seasonal robes, spices, rice, tea, medicine and other supplies. And most importantly, spiritual stones and spiritual jade! Silver and gold are very valuable and have many uses in spiritual practice. However, the hard currency that cultivators truly value is still spirit stones and spirit jade! For a cultivator like Tao Tie who comes from a grassroots background, there is almost no way to obtain spiritual consciousness and spiritual jade. The easiest way to achieve this is to enter the imperial court system and obtain an official position. This is what it means when you are in the public sector, it is good to practice self-cultivation. At this moment, Tao Tie felt that he had reached the peak of his life. At the end of the universe... Life achievements +1. (End of this chapter)
