Celestial Immortal

Chapter 147

"Master, it's really early for you to go home today, do you know that my senior brother and I came back early, and went home early to wait for us?"

Entering Yunshuiju, the little ghost saw Daoist Xu Ping sitting in the main room drinking tea Youzai Youzai, he was quite surprised and bluffed.

Daoist Xu Ping coughed twice.

He did know in advance that his apprentice was coming back today, so he went home on time.

Otherwise, he would be working overtime in the study of the Department of Ghosts and Gods on weekdays.

I thought so in my heart, but Daoist Xu Ping would not admit it.

Daoist Xu Ping didn't pay attention to the little devil at all, and only nodded slightly at Chu Chen:

"I'm back~"

Chu Chen smiled.

When returning to the Chen Mansion to report safety, Father Chen hurried out from the study, and the first time he saw him, he also said "I'm back".

The words are simple but reassuring.

"Well, I rushed back overnight."

Chu Chen sat down very casually, picked up the teapot, first refilled hot tea for Master, then picked up a teacup, and poured himself a cup.

Daoist Xu Ping watched Chu Chen fiddle with the tea set with a faint smile on his face.

"Is this rush to help Youzhou going well?"

"It's okay, it's going well."

Chu Chen thought for a while, and then gave a general account of the trip in Oak County.

He introduced the situation in Oak County at that time, how many people they saved, and what is going on in Oak County now.

Daoist Xu Ping listened seriously, nodding from time to time.

"You did a good job. No wonder the magistrate of Oak, the county governor, and the God of City God praised you so much."

"Master, have you heard that too?"

Chu Chen was a little surprised. The magistrate of Oak County and the county governor praised him quite a lot. He knew this, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly that even the master knew about it.

Daoist Xu Ping nodded and explained:

"Youzhou Ghosts and Gods' letter of merit arrived at our Guangping County at noon today. You have received a top-notch evaluation. This evaluation is quite rare. Only the county magistrate, the county governor, and the city god jointly signed the letter, plus you. You can only be judged if you really work hard.”

"That's right~ Hehe, master, if the disciples go out, one can beat two, and I will definitely not embarrass you."

Chu Chen smiled.

In fact, he had expected that Oak County would give him a high evaluation.

As soon as the county lords and governors left the city, Chu Chen was the first person they looked for.

It is conceivable that the work he has done has already penetrated into the hearts of Oak county officials and governors, and there is no need for him to show his merits.

It was also because of this that at that time Chu Chen left all the good things to Wang Ping, Xiucai, Qing Zhouzi, and Qing Pingzi, and asked for credit for them, without mentioning himself in the whole process.

Being a human being is also a kind of practice.

The way of mixing yin and yang, the most important thing is a word of balance.

People can't bury their heads and work hard, and they have to learn to show their merits after they have achieved results.

On the contrary, if the credit is well known, it must be reserved and clumsy, and the credit must be "distributed".

Giving credit to others will not affect your own credit, but it can reflect his broad-mindedness and better set off his ability.

Daoist Xu Ping gave him a rare soft smile, which really didn't embarrass him, on the contrary, it made him proud and proud.

"Master, what is the evaluation of the merit documents of the scholar and Wang Ping?"

Chu Chen asked curiously.

"As a teacher, I know you will ask."

Daoist Xu Ping was prepared and blurted out:

"The five of you have treated nearly 2000 people. You have contributed a lot. All five of you are highly rated."

After finishing speaking, Daoist Xu Ping continued:
"Your evaluation is one level higher than theirs because you strategized and commanded the overall situation. Oak County Magistrate, Du Guan, and City God praised you, and Xianting raised your evaluation by an additional level."

When Chu Chen was stunned, he couldn't help being curious:
"Master, are there many officials who have received high-level evaluations for supporting Youzhou this time?"

Daoist Xu Ping shook his head:

"There are rules in the evaluation of merit documents in the Immortal Court, and they are not given casually. Superior grades are quite rare, especially monks with ninth-rank and eighth-rank Taoism. You did a good job this time."

Taoist Xu Ping has a restrained and reserved personality.

On weekdays, no matter whether he was to Chu Chen or the little ghost boy, he was quite stingy with compliments, and it was rare to praise him one after another.

Chu Chen felt a little embarrassed.

Daoist Xu Ping also seemed to realize that he exaggerated too much today. He coughed, stopped talking, cleared his throat, and said seriously:

"Apprentice, don't underestimate the evaluation given by Xianting on the merit document."

Chu Chen became interested.

"Master, is there anything more important in it?"

Daoist Xu Ping nodded slightly, quite solemnly:
"That's right! You're quite particular. Your evaluation is top-notch this time, and the evaluation given is to strategize and lead the overall situation. This evaluation is very precious and will help you a lot in the future."

Chu Chen was not a fool either, and asked:

"Is it good for my promotion?"

Daoist Xu Ping nodded: "Well, it's good for your promotion and transfer, and it's also very helpful for you to compete for the position of supervisor."

"As small as a county, as large as a state, all levels of ghost and god divisions are extremely sought-after immortal positions, and the competition is extremely high."

"Tuguan not only needs to have profound morals and magic powers, possess the strength to suppress one party, but also have the talent of commanding. You have received high-level evaluations because of your strategizing and commanding skills. Advantage."

"If the teacher had won the evaluation of Xianting back then, any county would have taken care of it."

Hearing Master Xu Pingdao's eloquence, Chu Chen suddenly realized.

Although the governor of a county is only a seventh-rank immortal official, it is not worth mentioning, but it is the most powerful immortal position, and the competition is extremely high.

If you don't have some skills, you really can't make it.

"Master, so to speak, this "superior" evaluation is really good."

Daoist Xu Ping nodded: "It is quite good, you will understand in the future."

The teacher and the apprentice chatted enthusiastically, and the little ghost was left out in the cold. After returning home for a long time, no one paid attention to him.

The little devil was aggrieved.

The master knows how to praise his brother, but he doesn't praise him.

This time, it also made a great contribution.

No one praised, so the little ghost had no choice but to show his credit.

Taking advantage of the gap between master and apprentice talking, the little ghost said weakly:

"My lord~ I have also done meritorious service. The plague monster is still a sign of bad luck for me. This is how senior brother can find out the monster who fishes in troubled waters."

"Oh~haha" Daoist Xu Ping was in a good mood today, he smiled and asked back:
"Little ghost, do you want to praise you from the poor?"

The little ghost nodded.

Daoist Xu Ping touched the little devil's head:
"Good job."

"Thank you, master~."

Although Daoist Xu Ping's praise was a bit perfunctory, the little ghost was still very happy, he was a contented kid.

Chu Chen couldn't help laughing, and after thinking about it, he continued to chat with his master.

"Master, during this time of going to Youzhou to support me, my fifth five internal organs, Yuanjun, have enlightened me, and my cultivation skills at the stage of ninth-grade Taoism have been perfected. How should I deal with the external alchemy, the sage Yuanmiaodan?"
