The flying boat landed in the lake outside Yujing City, stirring up a mist like water and snow.

When everyone left Yujing, it was still late autumn, and when they came back, it was already early winter, and most of the time was spent on the road, except for Zhang Yuelu, the rest of the people didn't even suffer any injuries, at most they suffered some hardships on the way.

On the lakeside, the deer cart arranged by Tiangangtang is already waiting, this kind of deer cart is four-wheeled, the deer pulling the cart is more majestic than ordinary horses, the carriage is very wide and comfortable, you can take four people, this time Tiangangtang directly called nearly twenty deer carts, mighty, lined up, like a long dragon.

It was Sun Yongfeng and Tian Baobao who were the leaders, and when they saw Zhang Yuelu being the first to get off the flying boat, Sun Yongfeng immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face: "The deputy hall master has worked hard all the way, this time to exterminate the demons, the journey is more than 10,000 miles, and non-heroes can't do it." ”

"No need to flatter flattery." Zhang Yuelu is still so unkind.

Sun Yongfeng didn't care either, and said with a smile: "The real person in the palm hall has asked a few times, and the deputy hall master has successfully exterminated the demon this time, and the real person in the palm hall and our Tiangang Hall also have a light on their faces." ”

Zhang Yuelu didn't believe it at all: "I don't know, I thought I had exterminated which Gu Immortal." ”

Sun Yongfeng led Zhang Yuelu to the deer cart at the front, Zhang Yuelu motioned to Lingquanzi and Qi Xuansu to join her, plus Sun Yongfeng, just four people in the same car.

Mu Yan, Zhou Bai, Xu Jin, and Tian Baobao took the second deer cart.

Mu Yan's eyes looking at Qi Xuansu were full of resentment, in her opinion, she was the only fifth-grade Taoist priest, and she was the first person to follow Zhang Yuelu, she should have followed Zhang Yuelu's side, but now she was forcibly occupied by a seventh-grade Taoist priest, why?

However, in the eyes of Lingquanzi and others, this time to exterminate the demon and kill Diswin, Qi Xuansu is a well-deserved hero, and it is reasonable to be valued by Zhang Yuelu. As for Mu Yan, she didn't even participate in the siege of Fort Thornmut, at most it was a bit of hard work, so why was she looked down upon?

This is human nature, always looking at problems from the standpoint of their own interests, so people never reason, or only from their own standpoint, they only talk about the truth that is in line with their own interests.

The four of them rode in the same car, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu sat on one side, and Lingquanzi and Sun Yongfeng sat on the side.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Yuelu began to explain the final finishing work of this extermination of demons, mainly to form a text and report to the real person in Zhangtang, after the real person in Zhangtang confirmed, all those involved in the external affairs operation can get a two-month vacation, during this period, there is no need to go to Tiangangtang to be on duty, they can be free to use, and the internal affairs personnel must continue to be on duty.

As for the specific written word, it is roughly divided into three parts.

The first part is to explain in detail the process of exterminating this group of demons, which was handed over to Qi Xuansu by Zhang Yuelu, because Qi Xuansu was the only person who participated in the whole process except Zhang Yuelu and Lingquanzi, and after Zhang Yuelu passed out, it was Qi Xuansu who completed the final blow.

The second part is the report on the Gu Immortals, this part is in charge of Lingquanzi, because it was Lingquanzi who personally rubbed the traces of the Gu Immortals in the Thorn Mut Castle, and the fewer people involved in this matter, the better, so that nothing bothers the two masters.

The third part is to ask for credit, which is personally responsible for Zhang Yuelu, the deputy hall master. It can be said that whether or not the merit can be rewarded and whether the merit will be coveted by the boss is only in Zhang Yuelu's thoughts. However, in this regard, Qi Xuansu is still very relieved, Zhang Yuelu is undoubtedly a good boss who is competent enough.

Zhang Yuelu said to Qi Xuansu and Lingquanzi: "You two don't have to be too embarrassed, it's really not good, you can write a rough idea first, ask Director Sun to help polish one or two, and then hand it over to me." ”

Lingquanzi and Qi Xuansu both breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Yongfeng didn't feel embarrassed, he was a famous pen in Tiangang Hall, and this kind of official document was a piece of cake.

Zhang Yuelu said again: "Regarding the part of Gu Immortals, you must be cautious. ”

Sun Yongfeng's face tightened, and he nodded solemnly.

Zhang Yuelu lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the scenery outside the car through the glass.

At this time, the deer cart has come to the Taixu Bridge above the Taixu River, which is enough for eight horses to be parallel, and not far away is the Yujing City Gate, where there are armored spirit officials stationed to check the urn.

Zhang Yuelu lowered the curtain and began to close her eyes to recuperate.

These deer carts all have the logo of Tiangang Hall, so the gatekeeper directly let them go, and the convoy passed through the city gate cave and went along Shangqing Street towards Xuandu.

When they came to the city gate of Xuandu, the four people in the car did not get out of the car, but just opened the car door and handed out the basket.

The attitude of the gatekeeper was much better than usual, and he simply checked the urn and let him go directly.

The coachman drove the deer cart until he came to the gate of Tiangang Hall, and on the left and right of the gate also stood a spirit official dressed in Xuanjia.

The reason why the Lingguan is not in the ranks of Taoists is because the Lingguan is not a cultivation system.

The realm cultivation of the spirit officer is closely related to the identity of the "spirit official".

As we all know, the path of Shinto requires a huge amount of incense power, which is also the fundamental contradiction between Gu Immortals and Daomen. There is no doubt that the Taoist temples of the Daomen are all over the world, and they have an extremely large number of incense wishes, but in the high-level of the Daomen, there are almost no immortals, so the Daomen has developed a spiritual official vein with this part of the incense wishing power.

After becoming a spirit officer, you don't have to cultivate, you will get the corresponding amount of incense wish power according to your corresponding grade, and then turn into divine power through the special armor on your body.

That's why the officers are all in armor.

However, the spiritual officer is not without thresholds, and the requirements for the heart and mind are extremely high.

Before the incense power is transformed into divine power, it is actually mixed and impure, and it is mixed with a large number of human desires, such as asking for officials, wealth, blessings, etc., after entering the body, it is like a variety of noises, disturbing the mind, if you can't resist it, get lost in it, you will fall short.

Daomen can use various means to strengthen the body, but it is difficult to directly strengthen people's hearts, they can only look at talent, if you want to become a high-grade spiritual official, you must be a person with a tough heart, and you must be a person with average qualifications. If you have outstanding qualifications and a strong heart, you will most likely choose to become a Taoist priest rather than an inferior spiritual official.

In addition, the armor of a high-grade spiritual official is not easy to make, and the cost is extremely high, even if it is not as expensive as forcibly creating an immortal, it is much more expensive than cultivating an ordinary Taoist priest.

Because of this, there are not many high-grade spiritual officials in the Dao Sect.

The disadvantage is that this realm cultivation is not his own after all, and if he is deprived of his identity as a spiritual officer by the Daomen, his divine power will also disappear. or be downgraded by the Dao Gate, and the realm cultivation will also decline.

In this case, the spirit officer can only cling to the Dao Gate and completely obey the orders of the Dao Gate.

This leads to the fact that the spiritual officer is naturally lower than the Taoist priest in terms of status, after all, the Taoist priest's cultivation is all obtained by his own hard work, even if he leaves the Taoist Gate one day, he is still his own. Therefore, in the case of the same grade, the Taoist priest can control the spirit officer, even if it is a first-grade spirit official, it is only equivalent to the second-grade Taiyi Taoist, and it is lower than the real person.

The intention of the Daomen to cultivate spiritual officials is actually obvious, such as guarding the door, guarding the city, and guarding these errands, high-grade Taoists are unwilling to do it, or they don't have time to do it, and low-grade Taoists are not capable enough, and they are prone to mistakes. Only the spirit officer is the most suitable person, he does not have to cultivate, he has enough time, and he has enough realm cultivation, and he cannot disobey the orders of the Dao Sect.

Half of the spiritual officials of the Daomen are under the command of Tiangang Hall, and in this war in the Western Regions, the reinforcements of Tiangang Hall are also mainly spiritual officers.

Qi Xuansu was the first to get out of the carriage, pulled the door, and waited for Zhang Yuelu to get off.

After Zhang Yuelu got out of the carriage, she thanked her and ordered: "You go to Shaoguangxuan first, and I will go to see the real person in Zhangtang." ”

Qi Xuansu closed the car door and nodded.

A few people entered the heavily guarded Tiangang Hall, Zhang Yuelu went straight to the main hall, and the rest went to Shaoguang Xuan.

Qi Xuansu walked side by side with the two principals.

Sun Yongfeng said with a smile: "Brother Qi has made a great contribution this time, and a six-grade Taoist priest is most likely stable. ”

"Duo Chengsun is in charge of auspicious words, and Xuan Su thanked him first." Qi Xuansu's posture was very low.

Lingquanzi smiled lightly: "Tianyuan doesn't have to be too humble, this is an inevitable thing. Let's not talk about those false, just the truth, the silver of the six-grade Taoist is much higher than that of the seven-grade Taoist, Lao Sun, you are in charge of this piece, how much is it? ”

Sun Yongfeng took over the conversation: "The basic example of the six-grade Taoist priest is thirty yuan of Taiping money per month. Tiangangtang has a special subsidy, which is about 20 yuan per month. The Qi brothers are not yet thirty years old, and after being promoted to a six-grade Taoist priest, they prepare sacrificial wine, and they have a monthly subsidy of ten yuan of Taiping money. If there is a foreign affairs such as this one, an additional subsidy will be added depending on the situation. It's about 800 Taiping dollars a year. ”

Qi Xuansu was speechless: "Eight hundred Taiping money is not a small amount, if you put it in some small places, it is enough to buy a house and buy land, and you can be regarded as a rich man." ”

"Where do you need to go somewhere else to buy a house and buy a land." Sun Yongfeng said with a smile, "After a while, Duzhitang will issue a settlement fee for you to settle down in Yujing, the specific amount is subsidized according to your position on the basis of the grade of the Taoist priest, Brother Qi is about 1,000 Taiping money, if you already have a place to live, then this settlement fee is in vain." ”

Lingquanzi added: "This is also Tiangang Hall, the local Taoist government and some Leng Qing Tang do not have such treatment, and it is less than five hundred Taiping a year, and it is not enough to plug the gaps." ”

Sun Yongfeng said with deep feelings: "The inner dan cultivates itself, but if you want to quickly improve your cultivation, you can't do without the assistance of various outer dans, and the silver money is always spent like flowing water, and this point of silver is really stretched." If you fight with people, the loss of all kinds of talismans and the damage of flying sword magic weapons are all money. ”

"Isn't the wear and tear of the talisman reimbursement reimbursable?" Qi Xuansu was slightly surprised.

Lingquanzi laughed: "If you want to be reimbursed, you must give enough legitimate reasons, such as our extermination of demons this time, which is a legitimate reason." But who doesn't have a few enemies? or other unforeseen circumstances, this will not be reimbursed. ”

Sun Yongfeng said: "There is also food and clothing, hiring servants, socializing and socializing, you must always maintain decency, you can't let your colleagues laugh, and there are countless places to spend money." ”

Lingquanzi said hesitantly: "It's just a monk like me, if you want to form a Taoist couple, it's even more ......."
