Chapter 99 The first day of building the underworld in the metaphysics
Sometimes, it's better to come by chance than to come well.
When Jiang Ci and the others arrived at their destination, they happened to meet the lively metaphysics department.
Such a large-scale increase in personnel naturally requires certain rituals.
But it was a ceremony, it was more like a self-introduction meeting. The head of Ruofu introduced the elders and disciples to Director Zheng, and Director Zheng introduced the salary and personnel composition to him.
Taoism used to pay great attention to rules, but later, with the decline of Taoism and the development of the new era, everyone didn't care about these. We introduced each other together, and after registration, we had a dinner and everyone got to know each other.
If we followed the previous rules, we would first post a name post, announce the various sects, invite to meet, make a seniority ranking, then make a post to invite all sects to come to watch the ceremony, and then hold a party to honor the ancestors, and we will come together. At least for several months.
Now these are all omitted, everyone is busy!There's no time for you to do this.
At most one induction ceremony, no trouble and no delay in catching ghosts.
The members of the Dixuan sect work as a branch of the metaphysics department, and are directly dispatched by the government, who provide wages, bonuses and subsidies according to their positions.
The head of Ruofu looked at his disciples and formally accepted the entry contract.
"From now on, my old bones will be eaten by the state!" Daoist Ruofu laughed at himself.
He is actually proud. At such an old age, it is really good to eat a national meal and get a high salary.
Bureau Zheng shook his head, "Don't belittle yourself, your abilities have been acquired through half your life's hard work. The country is soliciting, and this job is too dangerous."
In recent years, ghosts and ghosts have become more and more rampant, and the people in the bureau are half a bottle of water. Several people were killed by ghosts. Those things have no moral law, and there are not a few people who are scared to leave their jobs.
It can be said that the Metaphysics Management Bureau has become a hidden high-risk department, and no one wants to come.
Their department, accumulated over the years, has a total of more than a hundred people, and they have to be stationed in various cities to protect ordinary people.
The people who received Dixuanmen today, except Zheng Ju and an assistant, the rest are all ordinary people, either seconded by other units, or the original financial staff.
The deputy head signed contracts with several elders one after another, and began to visit the place where he would work in the future under the guidance of the receptionist.
Taoist Ruofu also put the contract on the table and wrote down his name.
"Since we are a family now, may I ask, why did you join?" Zheng Ju asked curiously.He was really curious, as if their Metaphysics Management Bureau had suddenly become a favorite in the metaphysics world.
Taoist Ruofu said with a smile: "Since we are a family, I won't talk about it for now!"
Bureau Zheng stared blankly at the Taoist priest, is this really okay?Charade?I won't talk about what a family is for now.
"Hahahahaha! You will know it yourself, as long as you know it's a good thing!" Daoist Ruofu said with a hearty personality, patted Zheng Ju on the shoulder.
At this moment, a voice appeared at the reception desk, and asked gently: "This is the Metaphysics Administration Bureau! May I ask how to join this department, and what tests do I need?"
The hall of the administration is very large. There is a hotel-like rest area in the hall, which is separated by a glass partition. Because it is in the lower left corner, people who enter the door cannot see it for the first time.
But this does not prevent the sharp-eyed Daoist Ruofu from seeing and hearing Jiang Ci's inquiry. He was still joking with Zheng Ju, but when he heard this, he immediately stood up, took Zheng Ju with one hand, and walked towards Jiang Ci and Yun at the reception desk. go again.
The receptionist at the front desk was not a member of the Taoist sect. He was stunned for a moment before he stood up. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Daoist Ruofu: "There is no need for a test. Our Metaphysics Management Bureau very much welcomes you to join."
Jiang Ci heard a familiar voice, turned her head and looked over, "It's you."
"This is?" Zheng Ju looked at Jiang Ci, but his gaze fell on Taoist Ruofu.
Although, he seems to be the manager of the department?He is a bit of a tough guy, and he doesn't want to be in the department with wine bags and rice bags. Because of the special circumstances of his department, the salary subsidies are very good in the eyes of ordinary people. Some people want to fill in a few people to dawdle, but he firmly refuses them all.
They are high-risk occupations, and these people cannot be allowed to fish in troubled waters, let them in, and leave the members who were born and died, and were scared to sleep all night by ghosts!
And the person in front of him was obviously just an adult. It wasn't that he looked down on him, but that there were very few talented people in this line of work, and most of them were only around 30 years old when they learned a little bit of tricks.
"Director Zheng, let me introduce you. This person made a move yesterday and solved a big problem for us," Taoist Ruofu didn't like to beat around the bush, so he immediately introduced to Bureau Zheng.
Hearing his introduction, Jiang Ci shook her head modestly, and said with a smile, "Hello, Bureau Zheng. My name is Jiang Ci. I am here to join the Metaphysics Administration."
Zheng Ju looked at Jiang Ci, who was white and clean, who didn't look like a master of metaphysics, then looked at Daoist Ruofu, and said bluntly, "You don't look like a Taoist."
People in the Taoist sect need to exercise their bodies for a long time to practice profound strength. Even if they are old, their skin color will be darker than normal people, and their bodies will be as strong as a middle-aged fitness man, because in this way the body will be full of yang energy, and ghosts are yin. You will be shy when you meet such a person.
The minimum requirement is that the body is not weak, otherwise it will only drag the teammates back.
Daoist Ruofu realized that what he just said was not clear, and was about to add, but saw Jiang Ci speak first, "Indeed, you are right, I have not formally started, the only thing I have read is a secret book given by a friend .”
Before Zheng Ju could speak, Daoist Ruofu was dumbfounded, and immediately said: "Are you serious? Yesterday I saw that you could catch a hundred-year-old ghost with a direct shot, and you could also draw talismans with your bare hands. I thought you were hiding from the Taoist sect. senior."
Coincidentally, the two vice-heads who were hunting ghosts with the head brother yesterday were also there, and they also hurried over after hearing the words.
"Have you really never studied metaphysics?"
Yun Zhong stood beside Jiang Ci, "Really, I testify that yesterday was Jiang Ci's first exposure to metaphysics and spells, don't believe me, let me tell you..."
Telling these things to roommates, they can't really feel it at all. On the contrary, they may ask why, and they need a lot of popular science.This caused Yun Zhong to have a lot of things to say, to express his shock, and now he happened to meet people in the circle of Dixuanmen and Zheng Ju, and immediately described Jiang Ci's ruthlessness vividly.
When they heard that Jiang Ci drew a sky thunder talisman after only looking at it for a few minutes, everyone in the hall gathered at the front desk.
The point is, Yun Zhong also took out the Heavenly Thunder Talisman that he put in his arms to save his life, carefully let everyone take a look, and then closed it.
Now the whole department is in a state of deep frying. After all, many people don't believe that Jiang Ci is really so powerful. Until the appearance of the Tianlei Talisman, this is a lost Talisman. It is said that even hundreds of years ago, it was possible to draw Very few came out.
Zheng Ju's face was shocked, and he stared at Jiang Ci with his eyes.
Jiang Ci's scalp was numb, and she took a step back subconsciously.
Bureau Zheng stepped forward immediately, reached out and grabbed Jiang Ci's arm firmly, "It doesn't matter if you haven't studied before, we provide training! Aren't you going to join the management department? Come, let's go to my office to sign the contract."
Daoist Ruofu stood on the other side of Jiang Ci, "Come on, do you like to read cheat books? Let me tell you, our sect has collected a lot of lonely books..."
Yun Zhong put away the Thunder Talisman, smiled and looked at the envious eyes of the people around him.
Looking at his appearance, Jiang Ci was not polite, and said: "The one who came with me is the only direct disciple of Tianxuanmen. He has already joined the ranks of earth masters at a young age. I won't run away, but he may run away."
What is this trick called, misfortune to the east!
Sure enough, the next second, Daoist Ruofu held Yun Zhong's hand friendly, "Your master should be from the elder generation! You should call me uncle, come, let's go to the office together."
Yun Zhong looked at Jiang Ci, "I..."
"Three talismans, you choose the category," Jiang Ci offered.
"Okay, let's sign the inauguration agreement!" Yun Zhong said immediately.
In the end, Director Zheng and Daoist Ruofu took them to the office. The assistant was very clever and had already gone to make a contract.
The painting style has also changed from the previous relaxed to serious.
"The reason why Jiang Ci is so powerful is not only his talent, but also because he has a huge amount of merit. I don't know why he chose to join the metaphysics management department, but since he joined, let me join by the way!" Yun After re-explaining, he split his hands. Anyway, what he lacks in the five disadvantages and three deficiencies is money. It is good to join the metaphysics department. There are wages, subsidies, five insurances and one housing fund, and there is no need to worry about pensions.
Daoist Ruofu nodded, "No wonder he is so powerful. Of course, his own talent cannot be ignored."
"It needs to be cultivated well," Zheng Ju said firmly.
"It's okay, just give me a book to read. If there is a magic weapon, I wonder if I can study it." If not, I might buy one and come back.
Bureau Zheng nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, I'll get it later."
He wasn't afraid that Jiang Ci would take it and run away, because no matter from any level, he was not the kind of person who would do such a thing. First, Jiang Ci's eyes were clear and upright, and second, couldn't the Jiang family afford a magic weapon?The third is merit.
Huge amount of merit!Although he didn't know how much it was, he knew how to accumulate merit according to the book.
The book also said that even a ray of merit is not easy to come by, and it cannot be given casually at all.
After the two parties signed the entry contract, Taoist Ruofu generously took out a cheat book that he was going to hand in, and put it in Jiang Ci's hands.
The books include feng/shui site selection, formation techniques, profound strength training, and methods of distinguishing ghosts. These were originally untold secrets, but now they are incorporated into the official, so naturally they have to be dedicated, and everyone makes progress together.
Jiang Ci picked up the book, got up and was about to leave, and read it after finishing the matter.
"I did a fortune-telling yesterday. It's about you. Do you want to know the content?" Daoist Ruofu looked at Jiang Ci and said with a smile.
Jiang Ci's curiosity was aroused, she turned around and asked, "Then tell me."
Yun Zhong and Zheng Juhe looked over and wanted to know what it was about.
Taoist Ruofu said with a smile: "The upper hexagram says that we will meet a savior who can save us from the siege, so that the world will no longer be disturbed by ghosts and gods, and the world will be clear."
"Is that person me?" Jiang Ci asked.
Ruofu Taoist nodded, "Yes, it's you."
Jiang Ci frowned, turned around completely holding the book, and said solemnly: "Then you have made a wrong calculation, or the thing that gave you the answer is wrong, and the savior cannot be me."
Daoist Ruofu was puzzled, "Why?"
"For the salvation of the world, we must rely on all of us, we must rely on the efforts of all of us. Don't believe in the savior. We rely on ourselves from beginning to end."
"In this world, there is no god emperor savior, they can't save us from fire and water! We! We can only rely on ourselves!"
Jiang Ci's eyes are firm, he never thinks that he is the savior, he is not superior to others.
No matter which world he is in, he is not the savior!
Even if he has made great contributions, even if he has been bestowed with various honors and titles, you can call me the chief designer, the founder of the Xiuxian system, or the pioneer of the starry sky world.
But you can't call me savior.
Because no matter which world you are in, there are countless people behind you who are silently contributing and radiating his light and heat for the country.
For example, in the previous world, those who silently supplemented the spirit world were selfless.
For example, those who silently gnaw information and provide various construction technologies for aircraft/aircraft carriers.
For example, for the country, even if they are full of doubts about their appearance, they choose to believe in themselves...they.
Therefore, he objected, because his power alone was limited from beginning to end.
Even in this world, he carries countless and immeasurable merits.
To save the world and save their country, what should be done is to unite the strength of countless people, and we should not attribute everything to individuals.
Zheng Ju looked into Jiang Ci's eyes, stood up, and slapped the table hard, "Yes! Everything depends on us! We rely on ourselves to drive those things out!"
Yun Zhong didn't understand, but he understood Jiang Ci's meaning and nodded.
Taoist Ruofu looked at his hands, bowed his head in thought, and finally realized after a long time.
right!Jiang Ci is right!They have always relied on themselves, so there are no ghosts and gods to rely on!Mysterious strength is cultivated by them, and wind/water can even be classified as science, because its underlying logic is the influence of geographical environments such as mountains, rivers and lakes on human beings!Ghosts and gods are nothing more than creatures from another dimension. You have to pay a price to ask them to complete them, and it doesn't depend on your sincerity!
Merits and virtues should be interpreted as a collection of gratitude.It's just that it's special, and it needs to save people before death or resurrect them.
The formation method is a special way to induce the magnetic field.
It is much better to explain everything with science than to be confused and vague with metaphysical terms.
Everything has logic.
Ruofu Taoist priest had a clear mind, and his whole body was full of blood.
Suddenly, his eyes hurt sharply, and he covered his eyes and frowned, feeling at a loss.
Yun Zhong realized that this was the same as when he awakened the Sky Eye before, and glanced at Jiang Ci, "Do you want to go out, Taoist Master Ruofu has awakened the Sky Eye..."
The meaning is obvious, let Jiang Ci go out, he has too many merits and virtues, and he is afraid that Daoist Ruofu will be shaken.
Daoist Ruofu didn't think there was anything, how dazzling it could be, Jiang Ci couldn't leave, so he opened his eyes and looked over.
In an instant, a dazzling light rushed into Ruofu Daoist's eyes, and the entire surrounding area, within three meters of Jiang Ci, was filled with golden light floating, and it was not just a little bit, but an extremely dense light cluster .
"Hmm..." Daoist Ruofu hurriedly covered his face and turned his head away, quietly closed his eyes, and silently wiped away his tears.
I'm sorry, it's him, the old man, who cares about him.
But to be honest, how many people did Jiang Ci save to have so many merits!
Not hundreds of millions of people?
Junior Yun Zhong is really a good person, so I specially reminded him.
Both Zheng Ju and Jiang Ci were fixed there by this scene, watching the Taoist priest recover.
After a while, Jiang Ci left after confirming that the Taoist priest was fine.
Yun Zhong gave some precautions and left.
Zheng Ju looked at the Taoist priest who had opened his eyes and officially stepped into the ranks of the earth masters, and said, "Congratulations, but I'm curious, what exactly did you see that gave you such a big reaction."
Bureau Zheng was curious and wanted to ask clearly.
Taoist Master Ruofu is a little old man with a serious appearance and a middle-aged body, and he replied with a bit of a naughty taste: "It's just that the eyes can't bear to open the eyes of the sky."
Zheng Ju nodded in doubt.
"Remember to get close to Jiang Ci, he deserves the credit for opening my eyes!" Daoist Ruofu added.
"Okay..." Zheng Ju nodded.
He didn't see the evil look in the Taoist priest's eyes, obviously he wanted him to have a taste of Jiang Ci's merits and virtues.
Jiang Ci and Yun Zhong went out, and Yun Zhong looked at Jiang Ci, "I'm going back to the Lin family, so I won't be with you for now."
Jiang Ci nodded. If he was not mistaken, it should be the Lin family who wanted to settle accounts with Yun Zhong.
Watching Yun Zhong leave, Jiang Ci set his eyes on his car.
"You like those little porcelain dolls too! My daughter likes them too."
"Yes! They are so cute! So beautiful!"
Jiang Ci opened the car door, just in time to hear the driver uncle talking to the female ghost, who was answering with her head down.Seeing Jiang Ci getting into the car, the female ghost looked at him eagerly.
The uncle driver said: "Little boss, what should we do next? Where are we going?"
It is not popular to call young master and miss now, and it is awkward to call, so the driver uncle calls the little boss.
"Go to her house," Jiang Ci pointed to the female ghost.
The female ghost breathed a sigh of relief to the naked eye, she was afraid that Jiang Ci would not want to go out.
"I will actively cooperate with your experiment!" The female ghost was afraid that Jiang Ci would feel that she was not an honest and trustworthy person, so she immediately expressed her attitude.
Jiang Ci looked at the other party, "Then tell me, what's going on with you!"
Hearing this, the female ghost felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a needle, and she said in a depressed mood, "I died at the hands of my ex-boyfriend. I found out...he betrayed me, and I proposed to break up. There was a fierce quarrel between the two parties. He was agitated. Knocked me on the corner of the table, found that I was not dead, feared that the matter would be exposed, and cut me up."
"Has anyone been arrested?" Jiang Ci asked.
The female ghost nodded, "I was arrested. The police were very conscientious. He was arrested the next day and charged with intentional homicide."
The uncle driver frowned, angry at the cruelty of that scumbag, but at the same time, he also thought of the girl's changing clothes, and said softly, "The clothes on your body that turn red are stained red by blood? You don't have eyes and tongue, it's also because he?"
The female ghost nodded again, she didn't have time to mourn her suffering, she only had one thought, to take another look at her parents.
She met someone unkind, and didn't realize that her ex-boyfriend's emotions were so difficult to control, but her parents were innocent, and they sent her a message that night, saying they were waiting for her to come home for dinner.
"It's none of your business, don't blame yourself for the mistakes of people/scumbags," Jiang Ci reassured, seeing the girl's self-blame at a glance.
The Metaphysics Management Bureau is not too far from the girl's house, and they will arrive in a short time.
The uncle driver took pity on the girl and volunteered to go with her.
The girl disappeared and followed behind the two of them.
"Dong dong dong" the driver uncle knocked on the door of the girl's house.
A middle-aged woman in black clothes opened the door, looked at the two people at the door, "Who are you looking for?"
"May I ask Wang Ruou's family? I am a friend of Xiaoou's on the Internet. I heard about her and came to express my condolences." Jiang Ci didn't hold anything in his hand, but he was fair and handsome, and he was very attractive to elders. Middle-aged When the woman heard her daughter's nickname again, she took a step back and let them in.
The uncle driver nodded to the woman and said, "I'm also Xiaoou's year-end friend. We had a great chat. My daughter likes porcelain dolls just like her."
The middle-aged woman was stunned. She believed that her daughter liked to chat with the handsome guy. When did she like to chat with the middle-aged uncle?
But she didn't say anything. After all, people knew that her daughter liked dolls, so it was probably true.
The woman poured water for Jiang Ci and the driver uncle, and put them in front of them, "It's hard for you guys to have a heart, I'll go and ask my one to come out."
Jiang Ci nodded, she really should call out, and meet Xiao Ou together.
Soon, a man and woman with gray temples came out and talked politely with Jiang Ci.
The uncle driver couldn't see Xiao Ou at this time, so he didn't speak.
Jiang Ci glanced at the hesitant Xiaoou, and could only say directly: "Uncle and auntie, we are not here to mourn Xiaoou, nor are we friends with Xiaoou. In fact, we brought her here at Xiaoou's request." Look at you."
Both the man and the woman were stunned, but it was as if a drum was beating in their hearts.
At this time, the figure of a girl appeared beside the two of them.
Xiao Ou glanced at her parents in fear, and lowered her head even lower. Although she missed her parents, she was also afraid of being rejected.
Seeing the familiar white skirt and figure, the man immediately burst into tears and stood up slowly.
How well a woman knows her daughter!Without looking at her face, she knew it was indeed her daughter. She covered her mouth and looked at her daughter with a good look, tears gradually blurring her eyes.
"Ahhhhhhh..." Heart-piercing shouts filled the living room, and the woman rushed to her daughter desperately, ready to hug her tightly.
But Xiao Ou is dead, she can only pass through her body.
The woman ran away, staring at her hands and her daughter, her expression broken and desperate.
"Xiao Ou..." The man stood up, facing his daughter, his hands swayed uncontrollably, tears kept falling, he was not willing to wipe away his eyes, and whispered: "It's...it's all dad's fault, I... ...Why didn't I go find you, it's so late, I...I, I should go pick you up, so that you won't...be...it's all dad's fault."
Xiaoou hurriedly waved her hands, trying to help her mother, but realized that she had no entity, and she froze in place. Hearing her father's self-blame, she was even more at a loss and said: "It's not your father, it's none of your business ...don't blame yourself."
As Xiao Ou spoke, drops of blood and tears fell and disappeared on the ground.
The family just met like this, but they couldn't touch even for a second.
The sorrow of eternal separation between heaven and man is vividly displayed at this moment. The grief is not enough to describe the despair at this moment. A mistake by others has caused an irreparable tragedy for the whole family.
The uncle driver couldn't bear this scene, so he avoided it directly.
