The position of "experience", the official rank of eight grades, is mainly responsible for the exchange of official documents, and assists the governor in handling the affairs related to the demons and monsters of a county.

To put it simply, Gu Xu will become Chen Jisheng's right-hand man and personal secretary in the future.

Perhaps, there will be a successor.

Gu Xu is only a first-realm cultivator now, and he is only seventeen years old, and his qualifications are very shallow.

The appointment of him as the experience of the Yishui Exorcism Division is definitely an exceptional promotion.

Even Chu Fengge was faintly jealous of him.

Because of such an exceptional promotion, it symbolizes the favor of the head of the division for him.

But Gu Xu still behaved calmly.

It was as if what was in front of him was not a letter of appointment written by the head of the department himself, but an ordinary daily official document.

"Lord Chu, there is a question about the humble position." Gu Xu stood up from his seat and said politely to Chu Fengge.

"Say."

"I have seen it in the archives, in the official establishment of the Yishui County Exorcism Division, there is only one seven-rank governor, one eight-rank inspection, one eight-rank Zhaomo, one nine-rank detective, and one nine-grade prison, and there is no 'experience' position."

Hearing Gu Xu's words, Chu Fengge frowned slightly.

He didn't expect Gu Xu to be so serious about such a subtle little thing.

Does he think...... Will the letter of appointment written by the head of the department be fake?

But Chu Fengge still replied patiently: "In the Exorcism Division, such a thing as 'compilation' is a sentence from the head of the division-

"Master Si Shou thinks that it is a waste of your talent and talent to only do a nine-grade investigation. You should take on more important responsibilities. ”

Gu Xu nodded and agreed with his statement.

The reason why he asked such a question was just out of the prudence of habitual anti-deception and pit prevention.

Then, after a two-second silence, he asked a very important question for him: "Experience...... How much is the salary? ”

Chu Fengge's expression froze again.

In Chu Fengge's opinion, when a normal young man encounters such a great thing as an exceptional promotion, he should have been happy and grateful to the head of the department a long time ago.

How can you cling to such an unimportant thing as Yulu and never forget it?

"Forty-five taels of silver." Chu Fengge said with a gloomy face.

Gu Xu sincerely thanked Chu Fengge and sat back in his chair.

When he was a small official, he paid two taels of silver a month. At the end of a year, he can receive twenty-four taels of silver.

Now his annual income has almost doubled.

He was very satisfied.

After a while, he may be able to pay someone to help him renovate and tidy up his dilapidated small courtyard house.

As for Chu Fengge's cold attitude, Gu Xu also saw it in his eyes.

Gu Xu could guess that this Lord Chu was probably used to living a rich life in the capital, and he didn't understand the importance of this money to a poor grassroots official like himself.

It can be said that "a full man does not know that a hungry man is hungry".

However, just as Gu Xu was thinking about how to spend his new salary, Chu Fengge's voice sounded again:

"What is written on this letter of appointment is only your temporary position."

Temporary duties?

What do you mean?

Gu Xu was a little puzzled by this.

Could it be that after a while, he will be promoted again?

"Gu Xu, you still have an identity, you are the reserve of the Great Qi 'Divine Machine Battalion'," Chu Fengge explained, "The year from now is the inspection period for you.

"If you perform well during this year's inspection period, this time next year, you will go to Luojing City to officially become a member of the 'Shenji Battalion' and work with the best young talents in the country."

"'Divine Machine Battalion'......" Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.

He read through the texts and naturally understood the meaning of the word.

In the sixth year of Tianxing, that is, seventeen years ago, the Great Qi Dynasty, under the proposal of Lu Huan, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, led by the Exorcism Division, devoted the power of the country to create the "Divine Machine Battalion" for the first time.

It's a special operations team to deal with ghosts.

The most talented young cultivators in the country, including those from the Exorcism Division, those from the major sects, and those who are alone in the loose cultivators, are all included in the net.

The saints themselves guided them through the maze.

Heavenly and earthly treasures, elixirs, and even the top martial arts and magic weapons in the Great Qi Secret Treasury were all at their disposal.

They have received the best training resources in the country, and they are also carrying out the most risky tasks in the country.

Punish Niu Huang, destroy Qi Qi, kill Zhu Yan, and behead the five gods...... are all the glorious achievements of the monks of the Divine Machine Battalion.

At that time, all the young people were proud to join the "Divine Machine Battalion".

However, the glory of the "Shenji Battalion" did not last long.

Two years later, in an operation to kill the fierce beast Qiqi, the "Shenji Battalion" was unfortunately wiped out, and no one survived.

In the same year, Lu Huan, the first cabinet assistant who proposed the creation of the "Shenji Battalion", was also sentenced to the Nine Clans for committing treason.

The Qingzhou Lu family, which was Xuanhe for a while, disappeared.

Since then, the "Shenji Battalion" has become a taboo in the Great Qi Dynasty.

Perhaps, with the passage of time, it will eventually sink into the dust of history and be forgotten by the world.

But now, someone has actually proposed to rebuild the "Shenji Battalion"!

Moreover, this plan to restart the "Shenji Battalion" has really begun to be implemented!

What's behind this?

Is it a new round of power game for the big names in Beijing? Or will the Great Qi Dynasty face an unprecedented crisis?

A lot of speculations popped up in Gu Xu's mind in an instant.

"Because the long night is coming."

As if sensing Gu Xu's confusion, Chu Fengge gave an answer lightly.

"Long night" – it's a word that makes people shudder.

Gu Xu knew that a long night was a long night.

In the Great Wilderness, every few decades, a long night falls.

The "long nights" often last for months.

During this time, the sun never rises, and night covers the earth.

The yin energy will be stronger than usual, and the ghosts will become more fierce and terrifying than usual.

Every time a long night comes, many people and even monks will be killed or injured, resulting in countless tragedies of broken families.

For the Great Qi Dynasty, it was undoubtedly an extremely difficult test.

"Lord Si Shou used the Heavenly Machine Technique to deduce that the next Long Night would come within three years," Chu Fengge added, "Before that, we need to be fully prepared.

"The Shenji Battalion is the vanguard of the long night."

Gu Xu nodded again, indicating that he was taught.

After some thought, he understood that the "Shenji Camp" was both a challenge and an opportunity for him.

Even if you join the "Divine Machine Battalion", you will have to carry out some dangerous missions......

But he also has access to the best spiritual resources in the country.

For example, rare elixirs;

For example, the guidance of the sage;

For example, top martial arts;

For example, the high-grade exercises.

Gu Xu was born as a civilian, had no background, and was far behind the children of the family at the starting line...... If he follows the normal development path, he may struggle for the rest of his life to obtain these resources.

However, joining the "Divine Machine Battalion" means that anything is possible.

Breaking through the seventh realm before the age of thirty may no longer be a pipe dream.

It can be said that the high-risk and high-return "Shenji Battalion" is a ladder for the children of ordinary people to ascend to the sky.

Therefore, in order to survive for a long time, Gu Xu is determined to get the official quota of the "Shenji Battalion".
