Chapter 96: Doing the task for the first time
In Yu Qingyao's experience, pleasing this kind of small role costs a small price, but sometimes it can have a big gain. Like she said a few good words to Zeng Meng, she didn't want money, and smiled at him a few times. He took her as a confidant, and he hated to tell her all the secrets of his master.
If you change to a deacon of equal status and give ten thousand taels of gold, you will not get a few words of truth.
If you change to an elder with a higher status, you are afraid that if you recommend yourself to the pillow seat, the other party will not have a word of truth, and you will be willing to be cheap.
In fact, at this time, the deacons and elders in the lower courtyard of Chunshui Temple were all watching with great interest.
They all wanted to pick the white lotus sent to the door, but they didn't think about whether Yu Qingyao was willing or not. A casual cultivation from a foreign country, just building a layer of foundation, falls into their hands, what tricks can be turned over?
They just wait and see which of their peers will make a move, and their peers are the competitors. It depends on what the dean will think, when such a woman arrives, the dean will definitely not let her go. Without the permission of the dean, it will offend him, and it will not be easy to mix up in the view.
Yu Qingyao knew that she would face this situation when she stepped into the Spring Water Temple, and other women might feel that this was very troublesome, and it would bring disaster to herself, but she was not afraid. There are more people to be fun! There is no life chased by men, how lonely is it?
In Yu Qingyao's innocent and friendly smile, Zeng Meng unconsciously told her the privacy of the deacons and elders in Guanzhong.
Yu Qingyao settled down in her residence, and was taken by Zeng Meng to the External Gong Division, that is, the department where the Taoist took over the task. Killing demons and eliminating ghosts is an accumulation of external skills in the eyes of Taoists.
She had never done a mission before and decided to experience the life of a true Taoist.
Without the support of her teacher, she could no longer be leisurely. Walking outside, it is inevitable to encounter demons and ghosts, and she has a special physique to attract demons. She couldn't avoid the battle with demons even if she wanted to avoid it. Therefore, Yu Qingyao decided to take advantage of the morning practice to practice her hands, don't wait for the demon to find the door before she is at a loss.
Taoists will covet their beauty, and they will not be killed easily. Demons and ghosts are different, Yu Qingyao is not sure that demons and ghosts will also like their beauty.
In the External Division, there are not many tasks today. There are fifteen missions in total. Ten of them are probe missions, and only five are slashing missions.
Yu Qingyao was curious, so she picked up a probing task and looked at it. It said that there was a certain street and a certain store, and Boss Wang heard a strange sound in the store at night, so he got up and looked around carefully, but he didn't see anyone. He suspected that there was a demon in the house, so he reported it and asked the Taoist to go to the house to check.
In this case, it may really be a little demon or a thief, or it may be a cat or mouse, or even the wind blows and makes a noise.
Because there are many demons and ghosts, when people in the world move a little, they will suspect that there are demons and ghosts. More than half of this kind of information is false and has yet to be ascertained.
Yu Qingyao didn't want to run in vain, so she put down this task list and went to see the list of killing tasks.
Zeng Meng gave her staff on the side: This task is too far, that task has no oil and water, and the other task is too low-grade, not worthy of your master, and finally, Zeng Meng pointed to a piece and said: "There is no suitable one today, this can barely be done." ”
Yu Qingyao thanked him and took it over to take a closer look. A strange case was written on the list.
There is a Wang Kee sesame oil shop in Tsushima Alley, and the owner's eldest son was suddenly drowned three days ago. He died a strange death, drowned in a basin while washing his face at night. How big do you think the basin is, how much water is in it? It is absolutely weird to drown an eighteen-year-old guy, right?
The lower house sent a Taoist to check on the sesame oil shop. The Taoist checked the doors, windows, and walls, and there were no traces of outsiders climbing. There were no other injuries on the deceased's body, except for symmetrical blue-black handprints on the left and right sides of his face.
The Taoist in charge of checking said that the mudra was small and the fingers were slender, like a woman's handprint.
The strangest thing is that the mudra is like someone standing opposite the deceased and pressing him towards him.
However, the deceased was drowned in a basin, and his face was completely immersed in the basin.
Therefore, the Taoist in charge of the inspection deduced that the deceased was most likely killed by the water ghost.
The requirement for this quest is to find the killer water ghost and then kill it.
Zeng Meng said enthusiastically: "This water ghost should be new to the world, not too strong, this is the task of the Qi cultivation disciple." ”
Yu Qingyao understood, this is something that happened in the city, and the demons in the city are usually just born, and they are generally not too strong. Because, the Taoist temple is here, and as soon as a demon appears, it will be eliminated by the Taoists immediately.
Only newly born demons and ghosts have a chance to harm people before the Taoist discovers it.
The difficulty of this kind of task is not to kill ghosts, but to find them.
Taoist priests who place orders are generally required to complete a certain number of tasks. Generally, it is necessary to do it at least once for free, and there is really no task to do, and the Taoist temple will also tolerate one or two.
Outsiders eat and live for free in the Taoist temple, and one task is room and board.
If you want to make money, you have to start with the second mission.
A Taoist priest can't actually do a few missions in a month. Demons and ghosts will not take the initiative to jump out and let you kill, they will often try their best to hide, find that there is a Taoist priest to catch them, and they will run away, it is very time-consuming to investigate and track, a task often takes five or six days, if the road is far away, then it will take ten days and half a month. If you're unlucky, if the mission target is very good at hiding, you can get a mission for a month or two.
After reading the task, Yu Qingyao felt that it was quite suitable for a fledgling person like herself to practice with this task.
A newly born water ghost, even if it is a powerful ghost, is by no means an opponent of the Taoist priest of the foundation building. For her, there is no danger, just to experience the life of a Taoist priest who catches ghosts.
She smiled and said, "Then I'll take this task." ”
I handed over the task at the deacon and took the mission voucher. This credential is to prove her identity, and with this, she can mobilize the local catchers and ask the local residents to cooperate with her ghost catching operation. Without this, the local government will not cooperate, but will report to the Taoist temple.
Zeng Meng was enthusiastic to accompany her on the mission.
Yu Qingyao politely refused, because Zeng Meng could only accompany her for a while, and she always had to rely on herself in the end. If you have to rely on others for such small tasks, then there is no help.
Yu Qingyao behaves like a white lotus, but her heart is not. In her heart, she was eager to imagine that she had completed the first ghost catching task in her life.
Zeng Meng knew that this task was not difficult for her, so she didn't force it, and enthusiastically pointed out the way to Tsushima Alley with her.
Yu Qingyao rode a grass horse alone and walked towards Tsushima Alley.
When she arrived at Tsushima Alley, Yu Qingyao looked and saw a white flag hanging in front of a store, so she knew that it must be the Wang family.
