Zhu Xiucai's eyes widened and he felt unbelievable when he saw Cai Guizhong reappearing in the Demon Suppression Department.
Especially Cai Guizhong at this moment, with full muscles and rosy complexion, he looks lifelike.
But Zhu Xiucai clearly remembered that Cai Guizhong was sucked into a mummy by Zheng Tu's huge bloody hand.
Is this Cai Guizhong real or fake? Is he a human or a ghost?
Cui Yougui also had a look of surprise on his face. He quickly chanted a mantra, activated his Dharma Eyes, and looked Cai Guizhong up and down.
In Brother Cui's eyes, Cai Guizhong is neither a corpse nor an ordinary ghost. He is filled with the scent of incense, just like... a statue of a god enshrined in a temple.
It’s still very popular!
Looking at the sedan that Cai Guizhong was riding in and the life cards on the back of the sedan that said "avoid" and "quiet", Cui Youguo had a guess in his mind.
Just as Senior Brother Cui was about to ask for confirmation, Qin Shaoyou came forward with a smile on his face.
After supporting Cai Guizhong, who was saluting, he said with a smile: "You are now the City God. You no longer need to claim your humble position, and you should no longer call me your lord."
Cai Guizhong raised his head and said with a serious face: "As long as you serve as your subordinate once, you will always be your subordinate."
Qin Shaoyou didn't expect that Cai Guizhong would say such words, and couldn't help but be touched.
At the same time, I am also a little proud: It seems that I am still very loved by my subordinates...
When he was about to say something, Zhu Xiucai on the side couldn't wait to interrupt and asked: "Xiao Cai, are you resurrected from the dead, or are you coming back as a soul? Your Excellency said that you have become the City God? Is it true?
?Is he the City God of our county?"
Cai Guizhong saluted Zhu Xiucai, and then explained: "My physical body is still in my home in Lingjie Town, and now I am in a soul state. It is just because I have absorbed some incense, so it is different from an ordinary soul. As for the City God, I
It’s just a temporary replacement, and you still need to pass the exam before you can become a full-time employee.”
Zhu Xiucai was astonished: "Ah? Being an immortal also requires exams? Isn't this the same as me taking exams for merit before?"
Cui Youshen rolled his eyes at him and said: "Cai Lishi is different from you. You used to be a scholar. If you passed the exam, you wouldn't have an official position unless you went on to pass the exam. But Cai Lishi is different. You only need to be a scholar."
If you pass the exam, you can become a county god, which is equivalent to a county magistrate. Your original reputation as a scholar is incomparable."
"I...you him..."
Zhu Xiucai was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Qin Shaoyou ignored these two living treasures and just asked Cai Guizhong with concern: "What test do you want to take? Do you need our help?"
He sincerely hopes that Cai Guizhong can become the city god of Mianyuan County.
In this case, they are equivalent to having people below, which will be of great benefit to the future work of the Demon Suppression Division and the safety and security of the people of Mianyuan County.
Cai Guizhong looked at Qin Shaoyou with a strange expression: "Sir, you are required to write the questions for this humble examination."
"Shall I propose the question?" Qin Shaoyou was stunned.
Zhu Xiucai and Monk Ma next to them also showed surprised expressions.
Even Cui Youying, who had always been calm before, couldn't stand it anymore and said in shock: "Cai Lishi, you are not mistaken, are you? The city god test should not be presided over by the god of the underworld and the official of the underworld.
? How do you get adults to give you questions?"
There was another sentence he kept in his stomach but did not say it out: Although Qin Shaoyou is an official of the imperial court, he is a mortal after all, how can he record the gods?
"Yes, sir, you are the one who came up with the question. This is what our ancestor meant."
When Cai Guizhong said this, he bowed his hands to the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch enshrined in the lobby.
Qin Shaoyou also turned his head and glanced at the statue of Jiutiandang Mo Patriarch in the lobby, and then saw the old man's eyes moving up and down, as if saying to him: Yes, that's what I meant.
Qin Shaoyou withdrew his gaze, frowned and thought: "Since it is the intention of the ancestor, it should not be wrong, but why is it me who sets the question to test the city god? Could it be that..."
He stretched out his hand, pointed towards his feet, and asked, "There are no gods down there?"
Cai Guizhong shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."
Zhu Xiucai asked curiously: "You didn't go down? Then where have you been floating these days?"
Cai Guizhong said: "Master Zhu, you don't know that after my death, I was in a state of confusion along the way. I didn't care about everything, as if I was dreaming. All the situations along the way seemed to have been seen and repeated.
It seems like I didn’t look, so I don’t know if I saw any ghosts or gods.”
"Of course I don't know, I've never died." Zhu Xiucai muttered in his heart, and then asked: "Then how did you return to the Yangshi and be selected as a preparatory city god?"
Cai Guizhong recalled: "After my death, I walked through the Jiuqu Road to Huangquan and crossed the Gate of Hell. Just when I was about to cross the River Styx, I was awakened by voices one after another. Among those voices, there were my mother, Xiao Cui and other relatives.
The voices included the voices of brothers Pao Ze in the Demon Suppression Department, as well as many unfamiliar voices.
There are many voices of children among them, shouting that they want to learn from me...
After I was awakened, the voice of the Patriarch appeared in my ears, saying that I was chosen by all the people, and then my soul returned to the Yangshi and became a preparatory city god."
"I see."
Qin Shaoyou somewhat understood that those unfamiliar voices should be the people of Mianyuan County praying to pay homage to their heroes.
Although Zhu Xiucai has a side job writing storybooks, his storybooks have really helped everyone in the Demon Suppression Division become famous.
And the deeds of night watchmen who died like Cai Guizhong were written down by Zhu Xiucai in his storybook.
So now many people in Mianyuan County, and even surrounding counties and towns, know Cai Guizhong's name, know the various achievements he has made, and know that he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life in order to save children and protect his comrades. He is a
The night watchman of the 'Yongguan Demon Division'.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that Cai Guizhong would become the preparatory city god chosen by the people.
It's just that Qin Shaoyou couldn't understand why the ancestor asked him to be the examiner of the City God Examination instead of setting the questions himself?
Am I gifted?
Or is Grandmaster just lazy and wants to find someone to take over?
Also, is it his responsibility to take care of things like the City God's Examination? Isn't that the authority of the Prince of Taishan Prefecture and the Emperor of Netherworld?
Qin Shaoyou really wanted to ask his ancestor.
But at this moment, Cai Guizhong bowed to him and said, "Your Excellency, please come up with a question."
Ask questions...
Qin Shaoyou was a little stumped.
He really wanted to say that I had never taken the civil service exam in my previous life, and becoming a small flag official in this life was just my inheritance from my father. I had no idea what kind of exam questions should be asked.
You can't use Shen Lun to test the gods, right?
The problem is, I don’t know how to come up with this application topic...
After pondering for a moment, Qin Shaoyou looked at Cai Guizhong, who looked expectant, and said seriously: "Actually, in my opinion, you have already passed the exam. The achievements you made in the Demon Suppression Division are all
It is a manifestation of your ability. In order to save the children and cover the evacuation of your comrades, you sacrifice your own life to fend off the powerful enemy. This is a manifestation of your courage. A person who is capable, courageous, and willing to sacrifice for the people,
How can you not be a qualified City God?"
What no one expected was that just as Qin Shaoyou finished speaking, the scent of incense on Cai Guizhong's body suddenly became overwhelming, and wisps of glow and golden light appeared in it.
