It is not that Chu Chen has no followers in Guangping County, he is very well-informed.
Before taking office, he had a general understanding of the situation in Yunlin County.
Lady Yunzhi of Yunlin County is one of the most important.
This is because Empress Yunzhi is a fifth-grade deity, and her rank is higher than that of him and Xu Wei.
Nominally, the county's Department of Ghosts and Gods is in charge of the affairs of demons, ghosts and gods in the county. As long as you are on the boundary of Yunlin, no matter what grade of spirit you are, you must be controlled by the county's capital.
However, this is often not the case.
He is a dignified fifth-grade god with amazing supernatural powers and connections that reach the heavens. It cannot be compared to the control of just a few districts and counties.
Many times, if county managers want to run their errands well, they have to show kindness to others and make the relationship harmonious.
This is also the reason why County Magistrate Xu said the quaint saying "worship the dock".
Of course, under normal circumstances, high-level gods will not get into trouble with the local capital, but will try their best to win over the local capital.
Both parties adhere to the principle that what is good for you and me is good for everyone.
Magistrate Xu Wei reminded Chu Chen out of good intentions, fearing that he would be in conflict with the local gods as soon as he arrived because he was young and did not understand the ways of the world.
Chu Chen also intends to visit Empress Yunzhi...
Du Guan's errands are very different from those he has been exposed to before.
In the past, I only had to do my own errands, slay demons, and save Li Shu.
Although the errands are tedious, there is no need to think about anything else.
After becoming the county governor, there are many things to consider, and he must pay attention to all aspects, especially the ghosts and gods. Visiting the empress Yunzhi is the first thing he does when he takes office.
Xu Wei and Chu Chen didn't waste much time and went to Yunwu Lake to pay their respects to Empress Yunzhi that day.
Yunwu Lake is the largest lake in Yunlin County. Even if you look at the entire Guangping County, Yunwu Lake is one of the largest lakes. It is vast and stretches as far as the eye can see, nurturing the people around Yunlin County.
Lady Yunzhi is the God of Yunwu Lake. She is a fifth-level deity. She controls the waters of Yunwu Lake and all the major water systems around it. She has quite extraordinary magical powers.
"Guardian of Chu Du, it is quite a coincidence that Lady Yunzhi is holding a banquet in Yunwu Shui Mansion today. Yunlin City God, land gods from all over the country, and mountain gods are attending the banquet. You came here at short notice, and the two of us are late."
Xu Wei said meaningfully.
"I see!"
Chu Chen heard other clues from Xu Wei's words.
This is not a "coincidence", it was clearly Empress Yunzhi who gave him the power.
He was still a little confused just now.
He wore the [Yunlin Duguan Ling] on his waist and the [Chenghuang Seal] when he took office. The only people who greeted him were the county government and people from the Department of Ghosts and Gods, but not even the City God. It turned out that this was the problem.
He is punishing Lushan God today, and I am afraid that the ghosts and gods from all over Yunlin County will hear about it immediately, which is why the situation in front of us has emerged.
Chu Chen had a vague realization.
Not long after, the two came to the edge of Yunwu Lake.
The reason why Yunwu Lake is named "Yunwu" is because the clouds and mist float on the lake all year round. At a glance, it is white and misty, as if you are in a sea of clouds, with mist and tide lapping the shore, and it is a unique scenery.
It is said that the clouds and mist are caused by the spewing out of a unique kind of clam essence in the lake. After the clam essence transforms into human form, it is extremely beautiful and is known as the "fairy in the clouds".
There are even rumors that Empress Yunzhi is actually a clam spirit.
"Yunlin County Magistrate Xu Wei and Yunlin County Governor Chu Chen pay their respects to Empress Yunzhi~"
As the two people greeted each other loudly at the lake, the lake water rolled, forming a huge whirlpool. The lake water also rolled, layer upon layer, converging into a series of water ladders, connecting the shore and the whirlpool.
"Xu County Magistrate, who is in charge of Chudu, has missed his welcome from afar. Please come to my palace for a drink. Everyone has been waiting for a long time."
A lazy female voice came from the lake.
It is none other than the Goddess of Yunwu Lake, Yunzhi Empress.
Chu Chen and Xu Wei didn't say much, they all climbed up the steps, stepped on the water steps and jumped into the whirlpool.
This vortex leads directly to the Yunwu Water Mansion.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them entered the water mansion.
Gusong
The Yunwu Shui Mansion is similar to the luxurious mansion in the human city, with pavilions, palaces and rockeries, which are magnificent.
There was indeed a banquet in Shui Mansion, and the Yunlin City God, the gods of the land, mountains, and water from all over the country were all present.
A group of ghosts and gods recognized Chu Chen, the Ghost and God Sidu Guan. Many ghosts and gods wanted to say hello, but they held back, and all of them looked embarrassed.
Chu Chen ignored the crowd of ghosts and gods, and went to see Yunzhi Empress together with Magistrate Xu, and saw the true appearance of the goddess.
However, what disappointed Chu Chen was that Lady Yunzhi was surrounded by clouds and mist, and her face was covered by gauze, so her specific appearance could not be seen clearly. He could only vaguely see the graceful figure and graceful grace of the goddess.
"Xu County Magistrate, this is Chu Du Guan? You are worthy of being a dragon or a phoenix among people, a leader in the world. I heard that Chu Du Guan defeated the great sect of the Immortal Sect. He has amazing magical powers!"
Madam Yunzhi's voice is very nice, with a hint of etherealness in her laziness.
The most important thing is that Lady Yunzhi's tone is very kind, and she doesn't seem to be asking for help to show off her power to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen had a vague realization.
Lushan Shen recognized them quickly when he gave up in front of him. Come to think of it, he didn't have much background.
Lady Yunzhi did what she did today, not really to stand up for Lushan God, but to show a gesture to suppress Chu Chen.
It has nothing to do with Lushan God himself.
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. I had a narrow victory by luck. I can't say that I defeated You Daoist Shen in a big way. Instead, I have admired your Majesty for her immortal appearance and great magical powers. I have admired you for a long time."
Chu Chen flattered him casually.
Unexpectedly, when Lady Yunzhi heard this, she burst out laughing.
"Guan Chu, you have such a sweet mouth. You have never seen me, how do you know that I am so beautiful and beautiful?"
Chu Chen thought to himself, I just brag casually, but you still don’t take it seriously.
"Everyone in the world knows about the empress's appearance as a celestial being. Even though the poor people have little information, they have heard about it."
Lady Yunzhi said "oh" and said:
"So that's it. It seems that before you took office, you had inquired about all the big and small things in Yunlin County. You had a clear understanding of everything in Yunlin County, and you made such a big noise as soon as you took office!"
As soon as Lady Yunzhi said these words, the whole place fell into silence, and the ghosts and gods such as the City God and the Earthly Ones all looked sideways.
Xu Wei couldn't guess what Yunzhi was thinking, and couldn't help but sweat for Chu Chen.
Chu Chen's expression remained unchanged, neither humble nor arrogant:
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to say how much I know about other matters, but the God of Lushan does know quite a bit about it."
"That was a year ago. At that time, I was just a little Taoist boy who had not yet entered Taoism. I passed by Yunlu Village with my master..."
Chu Chen's tone was calm and he told the whole story about what happened between him, his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, and Lushan God.
Chu Chen explained the cause and effect, not to explain to Lady Yunzhi and the ghosts and gods from all over Yunlin County why he punished the God of Lushan.
They must have already inquired clearly, and Chu Chen didn't need to say anything more.
Chu Chen's cleverness lies in his inadvertent "Versailles" and "small-mindedness".
A year ago, he was just a Taoist boy who had entered Taoism.
A year later, he reached the seventh level in Taoist cultivation, was equipped with a command and a seal, and was in charge of the affairs of demons, demons and gods in a county.
You, Lady Yunwu, can overwhelm me now, but there is a famous saying that resounds throughout the world: "Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully the young to be poor!"
as expected.
Empress Yunzhi heard Chu Chen's "trick", her face changed slightly, she wanted to explode, but she held it back.
This time, she could suppress it for a while.
But this kid is obviously the master of "small-mindedness". If in the future his Taoist cultivation level is promoted to the fifth level, and then comes to Guangping County...
Thinking about the Lushan God...
"What a boy! What a great move with four ounces and a thousand pounds..."
Madam Yunzhi was anxious, but she hesitated in her heart.
