Celestial Immortal
Chapter 765
Chapter 765
Chu Chen originally planned to let the little ghost beg for the treasures needed for his exclusive magic weapon, but he really didn't expect the little ghost to still miss him and beg for rewards for him.
The process was beyond his expectation, but the result still made Chu Chen very happy.
Mr. Ming Jing agreed with the reward.
The basalt spirit stone that he has been thinking about is very stable.
There are many treasures in the treasure house of Xianting and the treasury of the imperial court, and he can also look forward to a wave of Sun Moon Jingshi.
Chu Chen could tell that Mr. Ming Jing was in a really good mood.
Under Longyan's joy, the little devil's unruly begging for rewards did not feel disobedient at all, as if the younger generation begged for red envelopes from the elders during the Chinese New Year, it was only natural and very natural.
"The little devil is really cute."
The real person Yulou and Chu Chen went out of the palace together. On the way, the real person Yulou made no secret of his doting on the little ghost.
Chu Chen smiled: "It just likes the fragrance of spirits, which made senior Yulou laugh."
In the East Palace, Yulou Daoist took out all the spirit incense from the magic weapon stored in it, not a single one was left, and all of them went into the little devil's pocket.
Although Mr. Ming Jing did not reward the spiritual incense, Chu Chen knew without thinking that with Mr. Ming Jing's handwriting, it would not take long for him to bestow a large amount of spiritual incense, which would make the little ghost dizzy.
"Hahaha~ It's okay, just some spiritual incense. If I knew it liked spiritual incense, I would bring more today."
Master Yulou smiled, with a hint of envy in his eyes:
"Ling Xiao, you are really good at cultivating the ear report fairy boy, and you have awakened the powerful supernatural power of disaster and catastrophe. With its assistance, it is not easy for others to plot against you."
As a cultivator of the third rank with the highest supernatural powers, he knows the fairy boy of ear report quite well. When he saw that the little devil's exclusive fairy boy's magic weapon used so many disaster treasures, he knew that the little devil's omen of disaster is not trivial. Unbelievable help.
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, quite agreeing.
However, deep down in his heart, he was very weird. Master Yulou might have misunderstood him, thinking that the magic weapon of the little ghost boy is the same as that of ordinary fairies, and it is a kind of magical power that foretells disaster.
As everyone knows, what the little ghost awakens is not the ordinary supernatural powers of ear reporting disasters, but "mediation of disasters and disasters".
【Mediate Disasters and Calamities】Not only allows the little devil to easily see the changes of calamities and calamities, but also to control disasters, bring disasters and bestow disasters, which is much more powerful than ordinary fairies.
However, Chu Chen didn't explain too much. It's true that he has a close relationship with the real person Yulou. However, the little devil's magical power of "bringing disasters and giving disasters" is a bit destructive. If he said it, he would not give the treasure of disasters if it attracted the attention of Xianting. , then it is not beautiful.
After all, the biggest reason why Mr. Ming Jing and Master Yulou gave disaster treasures so readily is that the little ghost is a fairy boy who is good at divination and omens.
No one would have thought that under the harmless appearance of the little devil, he was actually a cataclysmic star that knocked down the peerless devil, mediating disasters and blessings.
Chu Chen didn't talk too much about the little ghost's talent and supernatural powers, but turned the topic to the Ma family by talking about "disaster".
"Senior Yulou, I don't know what's going on with the Ma family. Did they really collude with the demons, or is it the old man Shanyin, the elder of the Keqing, who was bewitched by the demons and heretics and controlled by the demons?"
For the Ma family, Yu Gong, and Chu Chen have a clear conscience.
However, in terms of personal matters, he was a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, the Ma family helped him search for the Suzaku Lingshi, and he reported to the elder Ma Jia Keqing, and then the entire Ma family was wiped out by the fairy court.
People are not plants, he is not a ruthless and ungrateful person.
He promised Ma Huanzong that if there was no conclusive evidence that the Ma family colluded with demons, he would be willing to say a few words for him, not for the Ma family's promise of benefits, but for peace of mind.
Master Yulou was not at all surprised when Chu Chen asked about this matter, and said:
"Shanyin old man has not completely fallen into the heretics of evil spirits, but the qi that is the source of disaster in his body has been taken over by the blood rain demon king without knowing it. One thought of the demon king, Shanyin old man will be affected by the demon because of the power of disaster in his body. control, but he thought it was just encountering a demonic obstacle by chance, and it was extremely difficult to deal with."
Chu Chen said calmly, "How will Xianting deal with him?"
"There is one thing, and there are two. The old man of Shanyin has a flaw, and he may be possessed by the blood rain demon again at any time, which will cause chaos. He will be punished, and then he will be thrown into the sky prison and imprisoned for [-] years as a punishment."
Chu Chen nodded slightly. The old man in Shanyin was under the control of demons and didn't know it. He caused disasters arbitrarily.
"What about the Ma family?"
"At present, there is no evidence that the Ma family has linked up with the Blood Rain Demon Monarch to launch a demonic disaster."
Master Yulou spoke half a sentence, then changed the topic and said: "However, Xianting followed the vines and found out a lot of violations of law and discipline by the Ma family."
Chu Chen was not surprised when he heard this.
As long as the powerful and wealthy families are intertwined and powerful, few of them are clean, and most of them have a good family style, a little peace of mind, and no major taboos, but most of them can't stand the investigation.
The Ma family was deeply involved in the case of the evil disaster this time, and Xianting wished to investigate all the eighteen generations of the Ma family ancestors. It was expected that the Dongchuang incident would happen.
Chu Chen frowned and asked:
"Really, did the Ma family commit any serious crimes?"
"That's not true. If there were, Xianting would have dealt with them long ago."
Master Yulou finished speaking, and said with emotion: "However, I'm afraid the Ma family will be in big trouble."
The Ma family is a wealthy family in Zhongzhou, with businesses spread all over Kyushu, and the wealth is incomparable to any country. Usually, the Ma family's relationship is spread all over the court, and all parties are mixed, and no one is checking him. Now, the Ma family is in trouble. Wealth is the person who hurts people when they are in trouble.
With two official words, the Ma family who is in trouble wants to get out, I am afraid it will not be so easy, and they will have to peel off their skin if they don't die.
Seeing Chu Chen's silence, Master Yulou guessed something, and said:
"Ling Xiao, do you want to speak for the Ma family?"
Chu Chen smiled embarrassingly: "I have a clear conscience, Mr. Yu, but I am very sorry. This time I went to Tianbaohui because Thomas's house helped me with errands."
As the saying goes, the sedan chairs are carried by everyone.
This time, because of the clues provided by Chu Chen, the real Yulou successfully solved the evil disaster, made great contributions, and earned a wave of reputation, which will be of great help to his future election for the position of Celestial Master.
After this incident, when Mr. Ming Jing came to Dabao, it would be logical for him to take over the position of Celestial Master of Xianting, and there would be no obstacles.
The real person Yulou naturally accepted Chuchen's affection. He was too lazy to respond to the Ma family begging him, but if Chuchen spoke up, he would naturally give face.
"Forget it, I'll help you with a few good words. Mr. Ming Jing will definitely look at your face and open the Ma family's network. However, as I said before, it is impossible for the Ma family to retreat this time. No matter what , the punishment that should be given cannot be less.”
Chu Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Naturally, thank you Senior Yulou."
-
After returning from the East Palace, Chu Chen met Ma Huanzong as soon as he entered the Chen Mansion.
It turned out that when Ma Huanzong heard about the movement in Chen's house, he immediately came to visit. On the one hand, he congratulated him, and on the other hand, he came here for the Ma family's affairs.
Hearing that Chu Chen was summoned by Mr. Ming Jing to go to the East Palace, Ma Huanzong simply refused to leave and waited for Chu Chen to come back.
Knowing that Ma Huanzong was anxious, Chu Chen didn't want to whet his appetite, so he told Ma Huanzong the news he had asked the real person from Yulou.
"I pleaded with Senior Yulou Reverend Master, and Reverend Master agreed to speak kindly in front of Mr. Ming Jing and show mercy to your Ma family. However, capital crimes can be avoided, and living crimes cannot be escaped. There will be no less punishment."
"Thank you Daoist Chu!"
Ma Huanzong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and was very excited: "The Ma family will never forget your great kindness."
"You don't need to be too polite, just go back, your Ma family has a lot of things these days."
After being dismissed by Chu Chen, Ma Huanzong left happily.
After sending the people away, the little brother Peng lifted them back to the courtyard and said to Chu Chen:
"Brother, it won't be long before the Ma family will know the truth. Do you think the Ma family will bear a grudge against us?"
Chu Chen smiled meaningfully. He reported the old man of Shanyin to the real person in Yulou. The secret, when the time comes, the Ma family will be able to deduce the truth easily, and know that it is Chu Chen and his party who saw through the old man in Shanyin who possesses the power of disaster.
When the time comes, will the Ma family thank him, or will they hate him?
Chu Chen didn't know, but he had a clear conscience, and immediately smiled and said:
"Brother, I don't know, but you don't have to worry. Our Chen family is not a small family like before. We behave properly. If the Ma family doesn't know what to do, we will suffer great disaster!"
"exactly!"
At this time, the little ghost boy who was dizzy from counting the number of spirit incense in the talisman floated out, and said:
"Pengju, don't worry, if the Ma family doesn't know what's going on, I'll write the whole family of the Ma family on my [God of Calamity and Calamity], and Mr. Ming Jing promised to give me a rare treasure of disaster. From now on, my little Bo will be very powerful. Let their Ma family have nothing to eat and leave!"
Chu Chen and Chen Pengju smiled when they heard the words, but they forgot about it.
With the little ghost here, there is no need for retribution from heaven, the little ghost can give retribution in time.
-
Another three days passed.
Master Yulou didn't boast about it. Except for a few members of the Ma family who committed crimes, most of them were released one after another.
Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Except for some clan members who were brought to justice and punished, the Ma family suffered a lot of bleeding and lost a large amount of wealth.
But, life is the most important thing, and the Ma family was lucky to escape the catastrophe.
To Chu Chen's surprise, Ma Quji, the patriarch of the Ma family, boarded the Chen residence that day with generous gifts.
Chen family courtyard.
Chu Chen invited the Ma family to sit down in the gazebo, looked at the Ma family, smiled half-smile, and said:
"Patriarch Ma, don't your Ma family hate Pindao for reporting that you have the power of disaster in Shanyin, and your Ma family has been implicated?"
The head of the Ma family waved his hands again and again:
"The Daoist was just joking. My Ma family is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong. Without you, the evil disaster will become more and more serious until it becomes uncontrollable and affects the enthronement ceremony. At that point, my Ma family may be doomed. Are you right?" My Ma family has a great favor."
Saying that, the Patriarch of the Ma family bowed his hands respectfully:
"Chu Daochang, you are a true Taoist, the Ma family only respects and appreciates you, and there is no resentment."
Saying so, the Patriarch of the Ma family handed over a magic weapon in the shape of a storage bag, and said with a smile:
"Be careful, it's not a respect, but a smile."
Chu Chen was quite surprised, and once again looked at the Patriarch of the Ma family with a little more appreciation in his eyes.
He is worthy of being the helm of a top-notch family in charge of an incomparably rich country. If he is an ordinary and stupid person, he may feel resentment towards him and bear a grudge against him.
But anyone who has a long-term view knows that the Ma family is fortunate in misfortune, and they will be involved when things get serious. No matter whether it is Emperor Lingwei or Mr. Mingjing, no one will be lenient towards the Ma family, and they will die in the end. how to die.
Right now, the Patriarch of the Ma family is obviously not a shallow-sighted person, and he knows the pros and cons.
However, Chu Chen did not intend to take advantage of the Ma family.
He accepted [Suzaku Lingshi], which was the reward he deserved for the Dharma protector.
As for the benefits of the Ma family, he did not refuse it just to appease Ma Huanzong, not because he wanted to accept the benefits of the Ma family.
"There is no need to thank the gift. Your Ma family has suffered a great loss this time. It is time to use the money. If your Ma family wants to thank you, it will be considered as a favor to the poor Taoist. The owner will not shirk."
"No, no, Daoist Chu, I owe this favor to my Ma family. If there is anything, Daoist priest just orders it."
The Patriarch of the Ma family was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed.
His Ma family's vitality was greatly injured, and they were indeed stretched. They had to sell some of their properties to get the gift. Of course, what pleased him most was that he was very happy to owe Chu Chen's favor.
Favors are always consolidated in the fact that you owe me favors and I owe you favors.
The Patriarch of the Ma family is extremely optimistic about Chu Chen's future, and is extremely happy to befriend such a great supernatural monk with a bright future.
Chu Chen was also quite happy, human favors were priceless, the treasures he wanted could not be brought out by the Ma family, jade coins and so on, he said that he did not lack them, and it would not be worthwhile to accept the benefits of the Ma family, but human feelings were different up.
A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Although the Ma family was in trouble, the great supernatural monks of the Ma family have not collapsed, and their industries are spread all over the place, and they will gradually recover their strength soon.
With the favor of the Ma family, it will be much easier for Chu Chen to search for rare treasures in the future, not to mention that the younger brother Pengju will travel in the imperial capital and Zhongzhou in the future, and making friends with the Ma family will be of great benefit to the younger brother's future future.
The two sides intend to make friends, and the subsequent conversation was quite harmonious, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
When the head of the Ma family and Ma Quji left, Chu Chen and Chen Pengju smiled with relief.
"Brother, fortunately, the Ma family is not stupid, so it saves trouble."
Chu Chen nodded slightly, agreeing very much. One more friend and one more way to make friends with the Ma family will be of great benefit to the rising Chen family.
The only one who is not happy is probably the little ghost. Its [Mediate Disaster Calamity] supernatural power has greatly increased. It was about to bump into his hand without opening its eyes, but it turned out that he was too polite and he had no chance to make a move.
The little ghost shook his head, ignored the Ma family's affairs, but raised his head and asked Chu Chen:
"Brother, tell me, it has been several days since Mr. Mingjing rewarded us, and there is no sign of the imperial decree or the decree of the fairy court."
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Right now, the heaven and earth are busy with the enthronement ceremony, so there is no time to care about such a trivial matter."
Chu Chen touched the little devil's head, and said with a smile:
"There are still three days until the enthronement ceremony. Mr. Ming Jing will ascend the Great Treasure, amnesty the world, and reward all the officials. At that time, all your official awards will come down, so don't worry."
"Oh!"
The little ghost nodded again and again:
"Brother, after the enthronement ceremony is over, can we go back to the eight states in the southwest?"
Chu Chen nodded: "I mentioned it to Master Yulou. If there is no accident, it must be successful. Why, little devil, do you miss Master?"
"no!"
The little ghost shook his head resolutely, and then he laughed.
"I want the old man to look at my official uniform and make him happy."
Chu Chen: "."

The only one who is not happy is probably the little ghost. Its [Mediate Disaster Calamity] supernatural power has greatly increased. It was about to bump into his hand without opening its eyes, but it turned out that he was too polite and he had no chance to make a move.
The little ghost shook his head, ignored the Ma family's affairs, but raised his head and asked Chu Chen:
"Brother, tell me, it has been several days since Mr. Mingjing rewarded us, and there is no sign of the imperial decree or the decree of the fairy court."
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Right now, the heaven and earth are busy with the enthronement ceremony, so there is no time to care about such a trivial matter."
Chu Chen touched the little devil's head, and said with a smile:
"There are still three days until the enthronement ceremony. Mr. Ming Jing will ascend the Great Treasure, amnesty the world, and reward all the officials. At that time, all your official awards will come down, so don't worry."
"Oh!"
The little ghost nodded again and again:
"Brother, after the enthronement ceremony is over, can we go back to the eight states in the southwest?"
Chu Chen nodded: "I mentioned it to Master Yulou. If there is no accident, it must be successful. Why, little devil, do you miss Master?"
"no!"
The little ghost shook his head resolutely, and then he laughed.
"I want the old man to look at my official uniform and make him happy."
