Ma Qin immediately turned his head and looked in the direction Wang Yang pointed.

He was very curious about what the mysterious Talisman Master looked like.

At the end of the long and cramped corridor, a pair of boys and girls were talking and laughing, walking towards them.

The girl has a petite figure, black hair tied high, cheeks with new pimples, and a nose with goose fat; and the black "Qi Yao uniform" adds a bit of heroism to her delicate appearance.

The young man is wearing a green cloth shirt and a Xiaoyao scarf. He has a slender figure, a fair complexion, slender eyebrows and bright eyes, and an outstanding temperament. The corners of his mouth are naturally upturned, and he still has a smile even when he is not smiling.

Before Ma Qin could react, Wang Yang rushed in front of the young man in green shirt and said with a smile:

"Brother Gu, you are finally here! There is a new person in our Yamen, and he said he really wants to get to know you!"

Hearing this, Ma Qin stared at the young man in green shirt and frowned.

The Fu Tao master of Yishui Yamen is so young?

He just felt unbelievable.

If he remembered correctly, his competitor Gu Xu seemed to be a young man who had not yet been crowned.

Could it be that the cultivation genius Gu Xu and the Fu Dao master "Brother Gu" are really the same person?

Could it be that besides practicing and doing tasks, this guy also cultivated Fu Dao to a state of proficiency?

Where did he get so much time?

But what makes Ma Qin jealous the most is that this bastard can not only learn the difficult and difficult knowledge of Talismans, but he is also handsome and elegant, chatting and laughing with beautiful girls all the way——

It was completely different from the image I had imagined of a slovenly ascetic who neither ate nor slept.

Thinking that he was almost thirty-five years old and had not yet married a wife, Ma Qin suddenly felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry.

This damn world is so unfair!

However, out of the basic etiquette of Daqi officialdom, he still took a deep breath, forced himself to stay calm, and took the initiative to say hello to the young man and woman.

First, he clasped his hands and bowed to the black-robed girl with an official position: "Young official Ma Qin has met your Excellency!"

Then a stiff smile appeared on his face, and he looked at the handsome young man in green shirt: "I'm Ma Qin, Qingzhou Prefecture. May I ask what I call this brother?"

The young man in green shirt smiled slightly and replied: "I'm Gu Xu, Yishui."

Gu Xu! It’s really Gu Xu!

Ma Qin clenched his fists and tried hard to restrain his urge to curse.

At the same time, Wang Yang next to him did not forget to add another blow: "Brother Gu, this new brother Ma said that he has read some books on Talismanism and admires monks who are proficient in Talismanism the most. If you have free time,

, maybe we can share our experiences with him.”

"Brother Ma, have you also learned Fu Tao?" Gu Xu asked with a smile.

"I know a thing or two." Ma Qin replied bravely.

"Me too," Gu Xu replied humbly, "I started learning Fu Tao three months ago, and I only know a little bit about it at the moment. I will have to ask Brother Ma for more advice in the future."

When he spoke, Gu Xu's eyes were clear and his smile was sincere, without the hypocrisy of being a good guy after getting an advantage.

It can be seen that what he said was not polite words, but the truth.

However, it was this sincere attitude that made Ma Qin feel as if he had been hit ten thousand times, making it difficult to breathe in pain.

His legs weakened, his body slumped, and he leaned weakly against the pillar in the corridor.

"Brother Ma, are you okay?" Gu Xu asked with concern.

"I...I'm okay," Ma Qin turned away, not wanting to see his handsome face again, "I just didn't eat breakfast, and now I'm a little dizzy."

In fact, Ma Qin went out after breakfast.

But in order to save face, he could only make up temporary excuses.

At this time, Shi Xiaohan, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke: "This is easy to handle. The fried dough sticks and sesame cakes made by our Yamen's public kitchen are delicious. Wang Yang, why don't you take Brother Ma to the public kitchen? He will be waiting for you

I have to take the assessment later, so I can’t do it on an empty stomach.”

"Yes, Master Shi!" Wang Yang smiled and nodded in agreement.

…………

When the early morning sun climbed over the eaves, the honor guard of the Luojing examiners finally walked slowly along the wide "Zhengqi Street" towards the Exorcism Department Yamen.

The examiner's name is Chu Fengge, a fourth-level monk who holds the position of "Mr. Zhong" at the Daqi Exorcism Division's capital headquarters, with an official rank of fifth rank.

"Langzhong" does not mean a doctor, but refers to an official who follows and assists.

The position of Mr. Chu can be understood as the secretary to the head of the exorcism department.

According to common sense, sending a fifth-grade official to a remote small county like Yishui as an examiner seems to be overqualified and underutilized.

But for some reason, Chief Luo, the current head of the Exorcism Department, attached great importance to this trivial assessment, and forced Chu Fengge to end his vacation early and make a special trip to Yishui by deducting his salary.

"Two low-level ants are vying for a ninth-grade official position. Do you deserve me to go there in person?" Chu Fengge disagreed with this in his heart.

But the chief minister had an order, and he did not dare to disobey it.

And the people of Yishui County have obviously never seen such a big official.

In the Daqi Dynasty, there were strict rules and regulations for official travel rituals.

For example, the number of bearers who carry the sedan chair is determined by the rank of the official who sits in the sedan chair. The larger the official, the more bearers there are. There are four, six, and eight bearers.

For another example, when officials travel, someone needs to blow the gong in front of them to clear the way - officials of the seventh rank blow the gong seven times, officials of the fifth rank blow the gong nine times, and officials of the third rank and above blow the gong eleven times.

When hearing the sound of the gong, civilians need to consciously give in. If they do not give in in time and bump into the honor guard, they are in contempt of the court and need to be severely punished.

At this moment, Chu Fengge was wearing a black gauze hat and Qiyao clothes, sitting lazily on a six-carriage sedan.

In front and behind the sedan, there were honor guards beating gongs and drums and holding high signs reading "Quiet" and "Avoid".

Seeing such a battle, the people of Yishui retreated to both sides of the road respectfully and bowed their heads in salute; but out of the corner of their eyes, they couldn't help but glance at the gorgeously decorated sedan, feeling awe and a little curious.

Chen Jisheng, along with Gu Xu and Ma Qin, had already stood at the door of the Yamen to greet Mr. Chu who had come from afar.

"If I can experience such a ceremony once in my lifetime, I will die with no regrets!" Ma Qin looked at the six-carrying sedan with envy in his heart.

"The evil feudal society." Gu Xuze's face was calm and he complained silently in his heart.

If he remembered correctly, monks in the fourth realm and above can fly with swords - fast and convenient transportation is not needed, but they have to organize such a big battle to highlight their status. It is simply a waste of people and money, and it is asking for it.

trouble.

As for Chen Jisheng, his back was straight, his face was calm, and his eyes were as deep as ancient wells, showing no emotion at all.

After a while, the sedan stopped in front of the exorcist department.

An attendant stepped forward and respectfully opened the sedan curtain.

Under the sedan curtain, a pair of green satin and pink-soled boots were first revealed.

Then, a handsome young man who was less than thirty years old came out of the sedan.

This person has a powdered face, lipstick, a pair of peach-blossom eyes looking passionately, and a lazy smile hanging from the corner of his mouth. The whole person is as delicate as a fine brushwork carefully traced by a court painter.

It was none other than Chu Fengge, the exorcist doctor.

If we say that Gu Xu's appearance is that of a young man, and his heroic demeanor is still a bit immature;

Then Chu Fengge's appearance can be described as beautiful or even coquettish.

Gu Xu even felt that if this person were to be dressed in women's clothing, he might be more beautiful than anyone else and become a disaster for the country and the people.

Chu Fengge was seen with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, pointing his nostrils at the people present, seemingly disdainful of everything in the world, and at the same time chanting in a low voice:

"My whole life is like advancing and retreating like the wind. A glimpse of talent can make the world empty. I can only draw a cold sword towards the sky. Why should I be ashamed of being a hero?"

I never thought there could be such arrogant and narcissistic people in the world!
