Chapter 3: Confucianism, Taoism, and Divine Powers

Xu Taiping traveled to this world half a year ago.

As soon as I crossed, I found things in the Purple Mansion in the depths of the sea of knowledge.

It is a bamboo book.

It is a scroll woven from bamboo slips.

Dusty.

It's as if it's an old antique buried in the ground for thousands of years.

But no matter how he used various methods, he couldn't activate it, and he could only vaguely perceive that this bamboo book seemed to be a treasure of Confucianism and Taoism, and it needed an official appointment letter approved by the imperial court to activate it.

So.

He could only focus on the target, desperately save money, and wait for the opportunity.

What do you mean by that?

The big husband, in adversity, should bend down and keep his points and wait for the day.

I waited for half a year.

It's finally here.

At this moment.

Takeshu was activated by the letter of appointment of the head of the arrest.

Instant brilliance.

Colorful light shines on the entire sea of knowledge.

And through the vermilion seal on the appointment letter, it is faintly connected with the county government and the county town, and is integrated.

Long.

The colorful light slowly converged.

The gray bamboo book has a little more color, revealing the unique texture and color of bamboo.

But the whole body exudes a glowing white light.

Such as the color of the best mutton fat jade.

Delicate.

Warm.

Downy.

And that's not all.

The bamboo books that were originally rolled together have been unfolded, revealing three bamboo slips.

Each piece of bamboo slip has four small characters written on it.

They are "discerning", "painting the ground as a prison", and "hiding a knife in a smile".

This is Confucianism, Taoism, and supernatural powers.

It's also skills.

It is a skill-based Confucianism and Taoism.

Discerning: Take the initiative to improve comprehensive capabilities such as observation, insight, and analysis ability.

Draw the ground as a dungeon: Active, trap the target in place and cannot move or use skills.

Hiding a knife in a smile: Take the initiative to hide the killing intent with a smile, so that the target cannot predict the attack

This bamboo book is indeed a treasure of Confucianism and Taoism.

It can allow me, a little catcher who doesn't have any literary rank and has never practiced Confucianism and Taoism, to use Confucianism and Taoism.

And there is no threshold.

No paperwork is required.

There is no need for a literate atmosphere.

You don't need to cultivate.

As long as you solve the case, you can activate more magical powers.

As long as the case is solved, the power of the bamboo book can be enhanced.

It's really a plug-in.

Simple.

Direct.

Brusque.

It's still strong.

Then.

Xu Qing saw Xu Taiping holding the letter of appointment in his hand, tears in his eyes, and he stood still.

I couldn't help but show a hint of amusement.

A mere headcatcher with no grade and no grade, just such a gaffe?

What if the prefectural order is even too observant?

Don't you have to go crazy?

But he quickly restrained his smile and patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder: "Brother, don't be too excited, calm down, with your talent, it is possible that he will be a county-level head catcher, a state-level head catcher, a head catcher directly under the six doors, and even become one of the thirty-two god catchers." ”

Xu Taiping suddenly came back to his senses.

Be observant.

Seeing that Xu Qing didn't find anything abnormal, he was relieved.

Wipe your tears.

With a smiling face, he said: "Brother Qing, I'm sorry, the little brother has lost his temper." ”

Xu Qing smiled and put his hands on Xu Taiping's shoulders and looked directly into Xu Taiping's eyes.

There was a smile in his eyes: "You are an orphan, you became a head catcher at the age of eighteen, no matter how excited you are, it is normal for you to be a brother, and I am happy for you." ”

Xu Taiping only felt a churning in his stomach.

Almost threw up.

Nima's.

It's so fleshy.

But he could only be moved, and shouted in the same meaty tone: "Brother Qing......"

"Brother, do a good job when you arrive."

"My brother must obey Brother Qing's orders."

"Let's go, I'll send you to office for my brother."

"Don't bother Brother Qing......"

"A few steps away, what's the trouble, let's go."

The county government is separated by a wall.

There is a yard.

It is exclusive to the fast catching class.

The area is quite large.

There are dormitories, warehouses, stove rooms, horse sheds, thatched houses and quite large martial arts training grounds, after all, there are still a lot of people in the fast catching class, counting the head catcher, groom, cook, and warehouse manager, a total of forty-one people.

There are more people than any other department of the county government.

Xu Taiping followed behind Xu Qing.

With a smiling face.

When I arrived at the door of the fast catching class, I heard a commotion coming from inside.

“…… Rebellion?

"All step on the horse and listen to Lao Tzu.

"From today on, Lao Tzu is your leader, your new head catcher.

"Whoever does not obey on a horse will have good fruit to eat.

"Come on, come on, follow the rules, name and reprimand to receive filial piety, no matter when, this rule cannot be broken."

Then.

Some people quickly retorted: "What about the letter of appointment? You say you're catching heads, you're catching heads? We don't recognize it without a letter of appointment. ”

The rough voice said triumphantly: "The appointment letter will arrive soon, hmph, it was bought by my father for one hundred and fifty taels of silver, poor ghost, you can't earn so much silver in your life!" ”

There is no official salary for ordinary catchers in Jianyang County, because the county-level catchers are miscellaneous servants, lowly people, and future generations cannot become officials.

The county-level catcher is all fed by the head.

Basically, it's about one tael of silver a month.

The head catcher is in a good mood, and he can give an extra three or five dollars of silver.

If you are in a bad mood, you may only send dozens of copper plates.

With such a small amount of money, it is barely enough to support a family, and the deposit is very nonsense.

Don't say one hundred and fifty taels.

It's fifteen taels, and these catches can't be saved in a lifetime.

One hundred and fifty taels is a lot of money.

Under normal circumstances, it is indeed possible to win the position of head catcher steadily.

But this time, Xu Taiping suddenly came out.

Xu Taiping was amused in his heart.

But it didn't show up.

Because Xu Qing's face is not very good-looking.

This matter was also handled by his Xu Qing's hand, which is equivalent to charging a lot of money but giving the position of head catcher to a person.

One woman and many men.

Although it is the norm in officialdom, it can be exposed in front of the parties, and it is not good-looking.

Xu Qing coughed vigorously.

The courtyard of the catcher class fell silent.

Xu Qing slammed the door in.

The crowd immediately got up and saluted.

"Meet Master Xu."

"Hello master."

"Master auspicious."

“……”

Then.

An eight-foot-tall strong man greeted him with a smile: "Master Xu, thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you to run in person." ”

Xu Qing didn't even look at each other.

Instead, go straight to the front of the yard.

Turn around and face the crowd.

Said coldly: "From now on, Xu Taiping is the new head catcher of the fast class, you must obey Xu Zhutou's orders, and you are not allowed to cheat Yang Fengyin, if you are found by me, be careful of your head." ”

After speaking, he patted Xu Taiping on the shoulder: "Xu Zhutou, you say a few words." ”

As soon as Xu Taiping saw this attitude, he knew that Xu Qing was unwilling to be too close to him in front of outsiders.

I don't make friends.

Arched his hand towards Xu Qing.

Then, in the face of the crowd catching fast, and the stupid big man: "Xu Taiping, the head catcher of Jianyang County, please give me more advice." ”

Then he said to Xu Qing on official business: "Master Xu, please run this trip in person, the little one is really ashamed, wait to straighten out the affairs of the fast class, and then report to you." ”

Xu Qing nodded slightly, turned around and left.

Xu Qing left.

The fast catcher immediately blew up.

"Xu Taiping, is it really fake?"

"Xiao Xu, how did you do it?"

"Is there a letter of appointment?"

"It's amazing, do big things quietly."

"Okay, you kid really can."

"It's really okay to work together for so long and not leak any rumors."

"How much money did it cost?"

"You kid, I'm afraid it's not the illegitimate son of the county master, right?"

"It's impossible for the county master, the master is almost the same, all surnamed Xu, hahaha......"

“……”

Xu Taiping is the youngest in the fast catching class.

And it is more active after crossing.

The mode of getting along with others is more casual.

So.

At this moment.

The crowd catches up and hasn't adjusted their state yet, and they still regard Xu Taiping as the little catcher who is very good at talking.

Moreover, it is the lowest level of society, and there is no culture and no quality at all, so it is difficult to listen to it.

Xu Taiping sighed secretly.

Don't be diligent, don't be lazy, and don't have long eyes.

I stepped into the new office.

Your attitude makes it difficult for me to do so.

If it is not corrected, how will it be carried out in the future?

Where is the majesty of my head-catcher?

Who will sacrifice the flag?

Xu Taiping's gloomy gaze swept over his face.
