Gu Xu took the letter of appointment and was careful

I saw that it read:

"The ancients said: 'In knowing people, in peace with the people.'"

"This is all read in Bangben, and the light is in the emperor. Day and night, there is no forgetting the purpose. Now the ghosts and monsters are in trouble, and the people are peaceful, thinking deeply and following the good, in order to correct the evil.

"Yishui County has experienced Gu Xuya's long-term success, Hongcai is early, the machine is bright, the strength is strong, the face of difficulties is not afraid, and the changes are not alarmed, which is the instrument of Hulian and the material of the pillars.

"Therefore, Chao was promoted to the head of the Exorcism Division, and the official rank was six."

"It's another exceptional promotion......" Gu Xu thought silently.

Since Luo Si Shou had mentioned this matter in front of him a few days ago, Gu Xu didn't feel too surprised.

Of course, Gu Xu's biggest concern is salary.

"Dare to ask the head of the department, the position of the director, how much is the moon?"

"Twelve taels of silver."

"Twelve taels ......"

Gu Xu calculated in his mind: twelve taels of silver, compared with his previous monthly salary, it was tripled at one time.

Sounds like a good idea.

It's just that the prices in the capital are also much higher than in Yishui County.

In addition, he may have to spend a lot of money to buy a house in the future......

There is still a long way to go to make money.

Luo Chuan smiled, and then said: "Gu Xiaoyou, because you are not a native of Luojing, if you want to buy real estate and land in the capital, you can apply for a subsidy from the Yamen of the Exorcism Division.

In addition, Shangguan Jin is very familiar with the situation in various areas of the capital. When you're picking a house, you might as well call her along. I thought she might be able to give you some useful advice. ”

It turns out that the Exorcism Division also has a house purchase subsidy?

Hearing this, Gu Xu was secretly happy in his heart. After all, money is such a thing, and it is a sum of money that can be saved.

"Also," Luo Chuan continued, "the imperial court has finally reached a conclusion on the matter of your knighthood. If nothing else, you should be awarded the title of Viscount for Life, as well as the Danshu Iron Coupon and a lot of rice.

"Your knighthood ceremony will take place in five days. At that time, there will be eunuchs who will take you to Zichen Palace to meet the emperor and accept the book and seal.

"Of course, the emperor has been in retreat and cultivation recently, and you may not see him at all, only the eunuch of the palm print or Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaoning."

"I'm finally going to enter the palace......" Gu Xu thought to himself.

As a traverser, although he is not as in awe of the imperial power as the native residents of the Great Wilderness, he is still a little curious about the situation in the palace after all.

He really wanted to see how terrible the emperor's aura in the realm of "True Monarch" was, how beautiful Princess Zhaoning, known as the "first beauty in Luojing", was, and whether the life in the Daqi court was the same as in film and television dramas, orderly and luxurious.

"Lord Si, do I need to do anything to prepare?"

"Remember to wear your official uniform, wear a black gauze hat, and pay attention to your appearance," Luo Chuan smiled slightly and replied, "In addition, according to the ancestral system of Great Qi, even if you see the emperor himself, cultivators don't need to kneel and salute." Don't forget that. ”

Gu Xu nodded. He always felt that Luo Chuan had something to say.

"There is one more thing," Luo Chuan paused for a few seconds and continued to explain, "When the national teacher went to Qingzhou Mansion to seal the Nine Infant Snake Demon, he saw your talisman attainments and was full of praise for you.

"Therefore, he recommends that you go to Longmen Academy as a 'guest teacher' and take some time out of your month to give lectures to the students of the academy who are majoring in runes.

"The teaching and learning treatment of Longmen Academy is excellent, and you can get a lot of silver taels and pills every month, which is higher than your salary in Yamen. I think you'll be interested. ”

"Indeed." Gu Xu agreed.

He liked this kind of high-paying and idle work the most.

In addition, he is currently climbing the "Homesick Ridge" and needs to accumulate a variety of life experiences. Going to Longmen Academy to teach may bring him a lot of different feelings.

"But," Luo Chuan suddenly changed his words, "the teachers in Longmen Academy, including Dean Li, don't quite recognize your qualifications. They felt that the position should be given to someone who was older, more attained, and more experienced.

"In response, the Imperial Court has decided to bring you and your competitors together for a face-to-face fair contest of the art of the Seal. Whoever has the strongest rune cultivation will become a new teacher of Longmen Academy.

"The time is set for the twenty-fifth day of the first month.

"Although I am very confident in your talisman technique, I still hope that you will prepare well and do not underestimate the enemy."

Hearing this, Gu Xu remembered the provocation of the students of Longmen Academy against him and Shi Xiaohan on the night of the Lantern Festival, and remembered the "gossip" mentioned to him by Qi Yan, a young man in white, and his mind suddenly brightened.

He knew the reason why the students of Longmen Academy were always targeting him, and he felt more and more that Qi Yan's identity was extraordinary.

"Lord Si, do you know who my competitors are?" He asked politely.

Luo Chuan replied seriously:

"Mo Li, the cousin of Dean Li of Longmen Academy, a monk of the Fifth Realm, began to practice runes fifteen years ago and studied at Longmen Academy, and it is said that he has long memorized all the rune and seal painting methods in the books;

"Shen Qiu, the concubine of the Shen clan of Jinling, is a monk of the fourth realm. Although he only started learning runes five years ago, his talent was extremely high, and he created a new rune seal in less than three years, and he once received guidance from the national teacher;

"There is also a casual cultivator named Zhao Xinran, a Fifth Realm monk, who is a very famous Fu Seal Master in Luojing City. She opened a small shop on the outskirts of the city that drew talismans for only one day every two weeks, when the monks would line up in front of her shop and spend a lot of money to buy her sigils. It is said that when she draws talismans, she starts to write casually, eclectic, and each talisman she draws is different, which can save people's lives at critical moments.

"These three people are opponents who deserve your attention."

"Thank you, Lord Si, for telling me!"

At the same time, Gu Xu silently thought to himself: It seems that these competitors of mine are not soft persimmons! I don't know which of the talismans and seals I have learned for less than a year is stronger or weaker compared to them.

"Gu Xiaoyou, do you have any other questions? Or is there anything you need my help with? After a short silence, Luo Chuan's face showed a kind smile and asked Gu Xu.

Gu Xu remembered the decision Shi Xiaohan made today, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lord Si Chief, there is one thing that is about Shi Xiaohan, I don't know if I should talk about it......

"Gu Xiaoyou, you can say whatever you want in front of me, don't have any scruples," Luo Chuan interrupted him with a smile, "Your request, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best." ”
