Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 8 What the World
What is worldliness?
This is the way of the world!
Lu Huaigu is dead, and Lu Jiuzhang is powerless. In the eyes of his neighbor Aunt Zhao, Lu Jiuzhang is a waste and not worthy of friendship.
Now Lu Jiuzhang is about to join the Demon Slayer Division. In the eyes of Aunt Zhao, he is about to become an official, sir.
Therefore, her attitude is surprisingly good.
"Hi, Mr. Wang came here just now, and Chan'er's father served him. As you know, there are guests at home, and Chan'er and I can't serve, so we haven't eaten yet."
"I've made it again. It's just done. Come quickly."
Aunt Zhao warmly invited.
"Forget it, I'd better go out to eat and do some errands on the way."
Lu Jiuzhang shook his head again. He didn't like Aunt Zhao very much.
"Brother Lu, come on. My mother has been waiting for it for a long time. If you don't come, I won't be able to eat it."
Behind Aunt Zhao, the girl next door also said.
Her name is Zhao Chaner.
Both parents' surname is Zhao.
In my memory, Zhao Chaner is a very good person both in terms of character and conduct.
For Zhao Chan'er's sake, Lu Jiuzhang reluctantly nodded and agreed.
Aunt Zhao enthusiastically welcomed Lu Jiuzhang into the house. In the small and dark room, a table of food was already laid out.
Four hot and four cold dishes plus a bowl of soup are the highest level of hospitality in the alleyways.
"Old man, you drink with Lu Erlang. Chan'er, you sit next to Erlang, pour him wine, and wink."
It seems that she knew that her previous words were offensive, so Aunt Zhao did not serve the table.
After giving a few instructions, she entered the kitchen.
Aunt Zhao's husband is a rough man, only in his forties, with a face full of wrinkles.
He works in a dyeing shop, which is quite hard.
A month's salary is only 500 Wen.
This kind of life is difficult but warm.
There are inevitable quarrels between husband and wife, but generally they are harmonious.
With children as companions, you might be able to enjoy your old age.
As for Lu Jiuzhang, after eating this meal, he didn't know whether he would be able to eat the next meal.
…
He didn't drink much, but Lu Jiuzhang was already a little drunk.
After going to Master Zhou's house, Mai Yi said that Master Zhou had gone out to visit friends and was not at home.
Lu Jiuzhang could only return without success.
In life, it is impossible for everything to go as planned.
No matter how good you think, it's just an idea.
No matter how many plans are made, there will always be flaws.
After returning home, Lu Jiuzhang fell asleep and didn't wake up again until night.
I woke up from the wine long ago and didn't feel sleepy at all.
Lu Jiuzhang re-entered Kuixing Tower in the sea of consciousness and explored inside again.
Gradually, Lu Jiuzhang discovered a strange place.
When he got close to the sculpture of the great scholar Lu Shiyi, countless classics appeared in his mind, and at the same time, his strength seemed to be increasing.
The talent in the Wenchi also began to boil.
The entire Kuixing Tower seemed to be resounding with beautiful music, like the most beautiful music in the world.
At the same time, the talent in Wenchi was also depleted very quickly.
As if he had sequelae, when Lu Jiuzhang withdrew from the sea of consciousness, his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy and spirit, and was a little sluggish.
I was quite energetic at first, but now I feel sleepy again.
After falling on the bed, I slept until dawn.
…
The seventh day of March.
Gengyin, Siming, Yima.
It is suitable to travel and break ground, and it is not suitable to move or move into a house.
After getting dressed, Lu Jiuzhang walked towards the Demon Slayer Division.
The Demon Slayer Division was one of the most powerful organizations in the Zhou Dynasty.
Although the Demon Slaying Department in Changshui County is just a branch of a branch, it is still considered a giant in the entire Changshui County, with power second only to the county government.
Even in catching and killing demons, they can exercise their own special powers beyond the county magistrate.
Lu Jiuzhang's home is about a quarter of an hour away from the Demon Slayer Division.
Lu Jiuzhang has also passed by the gate of the Demon Slayer Division several times, but has never entered.
It was a black gate several feet high, and the plaque read "Demon Slayer Division" with three big characters: dragons and phoenixes dancing in the air, which was inexplicably intimidating.
Rumor has it that those three characters were written with the blood of a fifth-level martial arts demon.
When you get close, you can feel a slight pressure.
The Demon Slayer Division has equipped each of its subordinates with special tokens to resist pressure.
If you don't have a token, you can't get in at all.
Of course, if you reach the position of Director Chen, you won't need it.
He is strong enough to withstand the pressure.
Wang Yunshan was already waiting in front of the gate. When he saw Lu Jiuzhang arriving, he hurriedly stepped forward to welcome him, "Director Chen ordered me to wait for you here and introduce you to the environment layout of the Demon Slayer Division and some basic information."
Wang Yunshan was walking in front as he spoke, with Lu Jiuzhang following behind him.
Holding Director Chen's token, Lu Jiuzhang successfully entered the Demon Slayer Division.
Through a corridor, you enter the open space in front of the lobby.
"This is a place for normal discussions and issuing orders. Of course, the discussions are not big things. If it were really a big deal, we wouldn't talk about it on such a big occasion."
Wang Yunshan said, "On the left is the fast-shift room. We usually stay in the fast-shift room. When the adults issue orders, we will execute them. On the right is the resting place. Sometimes we need to work night shifts, so we rest here."
"Behind the lobby is where the adults of the Demon Slaying Department work and rest. The Demon Slaying Department has a director and three deputy directors. The director Chen you met before is considered the most powerful deputy director.
long."
"The chief director has been transferred to Anxi Mansion to perform a mission. It is said that he is to suppress demons. He has been there for half a year and has not returned yet. Therefore, the entire demon slaying department is now headed by Director Chen."
"According to regulations, the Demon Slaying Department must have a chief or deputy director guarding it every day. Even if they go out to slay monsters, there must be a deputy director in charge. If they all leave and monsters attack Changshui County, without a strong person in charge, it will be very difficult
It is easy to cause the entire Changshui County to be devastated."
"The files for each demon slaying are also behind the lobby, and some classics on martial arts, Confucianism, and martial arts... are also in the backyard. Of course, there are not many classics. It is said that the classics of the demon slaying department in the county are only one.
sharp."
"The director of the Demon Slaying Department in the county has also entered the fourth level of martial arts. He is considered a strong man in the entire Zhou Dynasty."
"Now I will take you to the file room to go through the formalities and receive the identity token."
…
Regarding the situation of the Demon Slayer Division, Lu Jiuzhang had a general understanding.
It is not as mysterious as the rumors on the market.
When passing by the backyard, Lu Jiuzhang saw Director Chen.
After respectfully returning the token to Director Chen, the other party did not say much and waved to Wang Yunshan to continue taking Lu Jiuzhang through the formalities.
The procedure seems simple, just record some details of your life in the file, and then receive a token.
But in reality it is quite complicated, and the records in the dossier cannot be made up of nonsense. Someone will bring the dossier to interview Lu Jiuzhang's neighbors to verify the situation.
If there are any mistakes, small ones will be fine, but big ones will have to be rewritten. This chapter has been completed!
