Chapter 244 243. Taking office (Subscribe!)
"Miss, you just told that Taoist priest to order any third-grade immortal wine he wanted at Mingyue Tower without paying. Isn't that a bit impulsive?"

The maid Su'e frowned and wondered what to do if the Taoist priest came every day. This third-grade immortal wine could only be brewed once a year.

Although the amount accumulated over so many years is not small, it is not much either.

"It's okay." Xie Qingyi raised her eyebrows, as bright and beautiful as peach blossoms with dew on them. "Just drink it all, and then you can brew it again."

“This poem is worth it.”

The maid Su'e shook her head.

I really don't understand the lady's business philosophy.

"I asked you to make some big noise to attract the attention of the various forces in the city. I didn't expect you to think of using this method."

Taoist Qingshan looked Xu Qing up and down, as if he wanted to see something from his face.

"You know that the vision of your last poem enveloped the entire imperial capital. Now not only the wealthy and powerful families, but even the common people know your name."

"He is truly famous in the capital, and everyone knows him."

Xu Qing smiled shyly. He was just standing on the shoulders of giants, that was not his real ability.

"But this is a good move!" Taoist Qingshan said with a smile, "Don't take up the post yet, give him a day, so that the name of Yuanfu Temple Jingdu will be thoroughly impressed in the hearts of countless people in the Imperial Capital."

“When we show up with this grand momentum, those clowns will have to think about whether to jump out or not.”

Taoist Qingshan could already imagine how some other forces in the Arctic Exorcism Institute were worried and discussing countermeasures.

How can the water be so clear? It is because it comes from fresh water from the source.

The Yuanfu Temple flourished because the disciples of the master were willing to sacrifice themselves. For a thousand years, the Beiji Exorcism Institute has always maintained the wishes of the original Taoist leader when he established the institute.

Xu Qing said: "Yes."

The next day.

Xu Qing got ready and headed to the Arctic Exorcism House.

Along the way.

The lyrics he heard most often were "Drinking Wine" and "Disciples of Yuanfu Temple", which almost everyone was talking about.

After all, yesterday’s vision was indeed magnificent.

The Arctic Exorcism House is located in the southeast corner of Imperial Capital, far away from the imperial palace and the bustling capital.

Although the imperial capital is a place of great treasures, the city is not prosperous and luxurious everywhere.

The closer you get to the Arctic Exorcism House, the fewer people there are on the road, and the colder the atmosphere becomes.

Not long after.

Xu Qing stood in front of the door of the Arctic Exorcism Institute.

The Arctic Exorcism Institute covers a large area, because in addition to daily offices, there is also a dark prison that holds countless notorious monsters and ghosts.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Arctic Exorcism House is a den of dragons and tigers.

Before entering, Xu Qing felt a murderous aura, which was the momentum created by the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

There is no one guarding the entrance to the Arctic Exorcism House, and anyone with a little common sense would not break in here.

Xu Qing saw a stone tablet standing at the door, with a sentence inscribed on it: "Looking back, the evil spirit has not been cleared away. Ask the world, where are the heroes?"

From Elder Qingzheng, Xu Qing learned about the various deeds of the Arctic Exorcism Institute since its establishment.

Naturally, I also know that the words on the stone tablet at the door were written by the original ancestor.

I only wish to establish the North Pole Exorcism House to sweep away all the evil spirits in the world so that the people can live and work in peace.

Xu Qing took a deep breath, walked forward, and was about to knock on the door, but it opened when he pushed it.

What caught my eye directly was a palace, where demon hunters in black robes were busy.

It is somewhat similar to the Deacon Hall of Yuanfu Temple.

Xu Qing's push of the door did not attract the attention of those inside.

I thought this would be a one-on-one meeting, but I didn't expect it to be a wink to a blind man. Xu Qing wanted to find someone to ask a question, but no one inside responded to him.

Ok.

It seems that he was just being too sentimental.

Xu Qing randomly found a person who was handling paperwork and said respectfully:
"I am Jingdu, a disciple of Master Qingxu of Yuanfu Temple. I come to Beiji Exorcism Institute to serve. I wonder what the rules are?"

"Job?" The man buried in his papers frowned and looked up. Then, as if he finally realized something, he shouted in a hoarse voice, "Wait, you said you were Jingdu, a disciple of Master Qingxu of Yuanfu Temple?"

"Is that the Taoist priest Jing Du who wrote "Song of the Wine" yesterday?"

"Is that the Taoist priest Jingdu who is going to take over the position of Inspector?"

The man's voice became louder and louder.

The sound spread.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent, and the people who were walking around stopped.

Xu Qing nodded: "That's me!"

The man behind the desk swallowed his saliva, quickly glanced at the other demon hunters, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to take up the post?"

"Yes."

The man behind the desk seemed calm on the surface, but his mind was in a state of confusion.

Yesterday, the name "Jing Du, the disciple of the head of Yuanfu Temple" spread throughout the imperial capital.

In fact, everyone in the Arctic Exorcism Institute knew that Taoist Master Jingdu came to Beijing to take over the patrol post.

I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

Now that you have made such a big name in the Imperial Capital, shouldn't you be happy for a few days?

Why did he have to take office the next day?
Seeing that this person did not respond, Xu Qing said again: "Sir, I wonder what the rules of appointment are?"

"You don't have to call me Your Excellency. My name is Feng Lingchen." Feng Lingchen was confused and surprised. "If you want to take up the position, I will take you there."

"Thank you." Xu Qing thanked.

"No need. It's just my job." Feng Lingchen shook his head.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he took Xu Qing through the hall and came to the back.

The two of them remained silent as they made many turns along the way. Finally, perhaps because Feng Lingchen felt the atmosphere was a little awkward, he suddenly spoke up, "The three poems you wrote yesterday were very good."

Brother Bai’s poems are naturally good. Xu Qing smiled and said nothing.

"That poem 'Song of the Wine' is indeed well written, but my favorite line in the other poem is 'The immortal strokes my head, and I am blessed with eternal life'."

"In the beginning, I actually wanted to practice Taoism and become a free traveler in the world, but unfortunately my family didn't allow it, so I could only learn martial arts."

Once Feng Lingchen started talking, he would talk nonstop, and Xu Qing would mostly just respond with a word or a smile.

"We're here." Feng Lingchen finally brought Xu Qing to the door of a loft. "If you want to take up your post, go inside. I can't accompany you here."

"Okay. Thank you very much." Xu Qing nodded, opened the door without saying a word and stepped in.

As soon as he entered the door, a tremendous pressure like a mountain collapsing and rocks collapsing descended from the sky, causing his shoulders to tilt.

Is this a show of force?

Such a thought flashed through Xu Qing’s mind.

Sure enough, anything involving the word "patrol" is a fire pit. Either you push people into the fire pit, or you are pushed into the fire pit by others.

Xu Qing sneered.

But... you think you can stop me with just this?
As his mind started to move, the twelve guardian gods of the Six Dings and Six Jias in Xu Qing's body began to emit divine light.

The pressure that was like a mountain collapsing and rocks collapsing suddenly turned into something soft and flowed through him.

Xu Qing strode calmly and quickly into the pavilion step by step.
