Volume 1 The Journey of the Prefecture Chapter 12 Habits

Before Ermao left, he asked Concubine Lan for some ordinary small bottles, and according to Concubine Lan's proposal, he spent a little time condensing some soul power potions of average concentration.

Ermao also left 6 bottles of genuine Moutai to Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan did not refuse, but Concubine Lan did not ask for cigarettes, and let Ermao keep them for him.

At the entrance of the eastern district, Judge Lu had been standing there guarding, he was afraid that Ermao would be frizzy and make the hall master angry.

When Ermao came out, he was about to question Ermao, when he suddenly received a message from Concubine Lan: his body was petrified instantly.

"Don't target him again, I've already given him that purple waist card. Just know it yourself, and don't reveal it to the outside world just yet. Just let him make his own decisions, and you don't have to deliberately interfere! ”

Judge Lu was petrified in an instant.

"Niangniang actually gave him the hall master's waist card? How can it be? ”

Judge Lu knew that Ermao's strength was very strong now, but he didn't think that Ermao was qualified to be the hall master of the No. 26 branch hall, but he also believed that Concubine Lan would never joke about this kind of thing, this was not her business alone, but a major matter related to the thousands of prefecture officials up and down the entire No. 26 branch hall.

He has followed Concubine Lan for hundreds of years, and there is absolutely no doubt about the level of mutual trust between him and Concubine Lan.

So Ermao, there must be secrets that he doesn't know, maybe it is because of those secrets that Concubine Lan values Ermao very much, and even does not hesitate to give up the position of hall master.

Judge Lu looked at the young ghost who passed in front of him with a complicated expression and saluted respectfully to him, and his heart suddenly felt complicated.

"I may be really old, and I am jealous of a young ghost! Ay! ”

When Ermao passed by the main hall, Judge Liu on duty was still there.

"Lord Liuguan, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Judge Liu quickly stood up.

"Master Zhang doesn't need to be polite, they are all their own people, so you don't need to see the outside so much."

"That's right, the uncle on the construction site you treated yesterday is a good friend of mine, you see this, I'll give him back a soul potion for you, okay?"

Judge Liu didn't expect Ermao to intercede for a low-level ghost.

"It's just a bottle of potion, why should Lord Zhang be polite, I still have it here, if Lord Zhang needs it, I'll send some more to Lord Zhang."

It takes about 1 day for Judge Liu to condense a soul power potion, but after that, it will take at least a week to recover his soul power, otherwise there will be hidden dangers.

So under normal circumstances, he would prepare a dozen or so bottles, and he would not save more, and most of the other judges in the underworld were also like this, so this soul power potion was more precious.

These are all things that Concubine Lan just reminded Ermao, she was afraid of Ermao, who was very arrogant and didn't understand his own specialness.

In the end, Judge Liu insisted on refusing to accept the soul power potion returned by Ermao, and in the face of Judge Liu, who was interested in befriending him, Ermao had no choice but to write down this small favor and leave it for later.

——

In the main hall of the No. 26 branch hall of the prefecture, Judge Lu summoned all the officials above the inspector to hold a meeting, except for Ermao, the other 9 inspectors, 6 judges were all present.

Because of the recent surge in the number of ghosts in the world, everyone's workload has also increased a lot, in order to increase work efficiency, many functional departments with unclear division of labor need to be reclassified and divided in detail.

At the end of the meeting, Judge Lu emphasized one thing:

"In troubled times, there will be fierce ghosts coming out of the world, cholera in the world, in case of a tricky task or life and death crisis, you can ask the new senior inspector Lord Zhang for help through the waist card, this is also the meaning of the hall master, please remember!"

Judge Lu's words obviously surprised everyone, whether they knew Ermao or didn't, they all had a new understanding of this newly appointed senior inspector.

To be so recognized by Judge Lu and the hall master, it is obvious that this Lord Zhang's cultivation is not trivial. Especially those inspectors, they kept this matter firmly in their hearts, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, what if they went to the world on a mission and encountered danger? It's a matter of their lives, and they value it more than anyone else.

——

Ermao returned to his construction site and first went to visit his uncle, who was recuperating.

After being treated with a soul power potion, it only took one day for the uncle to fully wake up, and his state was almost recovered, and he only needed to rest for another month, and he would almost recover safely.

Ermao asked about the uncle that day, and the uncle only remembered the gust of wind, and didn't know anything else, which also made Ermao breathe a sigh of relief.

Brother Li did not tell the uncle everything about the incident according to Ermao's instructions, and after learning that Ermao was promoted to a senior inspector, Brother Li personally interviewed all the witnesses on the day of the uncle's accident, so that they could completely forget about the incident and not make trouble for themselves.

Although Brother Li is a bit wooden, he still understands the basic way of being an official, not every ghost is ruthless, and few of those who can be officials are fools.

Ermao took out a bottle of soul power potion on the spot, helped the uncle completely heal the damaged soul, and also made his soul power improve a lot, which can be regarded as the guilt of the uncle in his heart.

In order to facilitate his future work, he decided to listen to Ma Mian's opinion and move to the north area of the main hall where senior officials lived.

Ma Mian usually chatted with Ermao, so he chose a simple palace close to his residence for Ermao, and Ermao himself didn't care.

For ghosts, all the material comforts of the world no longer have any attraction, as long as there is a place to stay.

Niu Tou was also very happy about Ermao's arrival, pulled Ermao and Ma Mian, took out Ermao's genuine goods Erguotou and red plum cigarettes that Ermao gave him, and scattered people chatted while drinking.

Knowing that Ermao was about to follow him to the world for an internship, Niu Tou picked up all kinds of bizarre stories he encountered when he went on a mission before and told Ermao.

From those ghosts with all kinds of bizarre abilities, to all kinds of unbelievable demons and monsters, and even some monks and heavenly masters in the world who catch ghosts and collect souls, Niu Tou has talked about it again.

Ma Mian also interjected a few sentences from time to time, pointing out the most critical place, reminding Ermao how to deal with this situation in case of it, so that Ermao Mao stopped.

"In short, if we go to the human world to capture ghosts, ordinary demons and monsters, even human heavenly masters, basically will not collide with our inspectors of the underworld, and with your current soul power cultivation, they are not your opponents at all, so you don't have to be so nervous, just be calm. Follow us once or twice, and you'll be on your own. ”

Niu Tou Ma Mian went back to rest, and Ermao lay on the bed by himself, with both the excitement of returning to the human world to perform the mission, and the various fantasies of reincarnation and rebirth in the future.

Ermao's prison sentence is only 3 years, although he is now a senior inspector of the prefecture, and his status is quite high, but in Ermao's heart, he prefers to be reincarnated and reborn and live as a real person.

Ermao's last life only lived for 28 years and died unexpectedly, in his eyes, there are too many beautiful scenery in the world without the opportunity to personally experience and comprehend, and then live in the future, how can I have to step on thousands of mountains and rivers, taste the delicious food in the world, and leave those beautiful scenery behind him in a chic way.

"Habit" is a terrible thing, once you get used to something, the body and brain will have a kind of positioning memory function for this thing, and when time runs to this position, the body and brain will naturally copy this habit.

A bit esoteric? Let's put it simply:

"Oops, I'm sleepy, it's time to sleep!"

There is no sun or moon in the underworld, and the lighting completely depends on the soul power that overflows between heaven and earth, and the measurement of time can completely rely on the daily habits formed by each in the human world.

Of course, the underworld must have special timekeeping tools and officials, but not too many ghosts will pay attention to them.

Ermao woke up from sleep, maybe he had a dream in the world, got up in a daze and went to find a toothbrush and toothpaste to brush his teeth, and suddenly remembered that this is the underworld, he has become a ghost, where are there teeth in his mouth?

"Hey, terrible habits!"

It's still early, and the judges on duty haven't come yet, and the few inspectors who need to go out on a mission today have all come early, chatting in the hall.

"Hey, I've been tired like a dog lately, I've been on tasks day and night, and the overtime pay is not much, pitiful!"

"Tired? Then why don't you resign? ”

"Yes, others break their heads and drill in, yearning for the beauty here, you are good, complaining and shouting tired every day, and want to leave, hehe!"

"Damn, I'll complain, when am I going to resign, don't spread rumors!"

"You said it yourself, why did I spread rumors?"

"Which ear did you hear me?"

“......”

Ermao didn't speak on the side, just watched quietly.

It turns out that the underworld is the same as the world!

There is a saying in the world: where there are people, there are contradictions and strife!

This is also applicable in the underworld, Ermao has to admire the brains of these ghosts, a small complaint can cause a quarrel, and a small complaint is inexplicably rumored to be leaving, this scene is very similar to the current situation in the workplace and entertainment industry in the world: selfish, chaotic, and dirty.

There are some things, if you are not in the position, you will never know whether his inside is white or black.

The quarrel was only a small episode, and the judges on duty came on time with the last grain of sand falling from the hourglass.

The junior inspectors who were still arguing just now immediately surrounded them, the cigarettes that should be handed over to the cigarettes, the tea that should be poured are poured to the tea, and the intimacy of the cooperation made Ermao speechless, only sighing at the miracle of creation!
