When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

Everyone present.

Only Hu Yunshan remained largely unremarkable throughout.

As the bureau chief, he should know something.

Wait until we return to the conference room.

Hu Yunshan took a sip of tea and said, "Tonight's news is completely blocked. No leaks are allowed. Everything else should proceed according to normal procedures."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Then Hu Yunshan looked at Chen Jun: "By the way, Xiao Chen, that Taoist priest helped us a lot tonight."

"Tomorrow, on behalf of the Municipal Bureau, go and withdraw 100,000 yuan to personally go to the mountains to express our gratitude to the Taoist priest for helping us solve the case."

"Remember, your attitude must be respectful."

Chen Jun was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Some people didn't quite understand Hu Yunshan's actions. Although Zhang Chuyu had helped a lot, according to custom, he had already given her the banner and bonus that he was supposed to give.

Why be so cautious?

However, he didn't have any objections. If the leader asked him to do something, he would just do it obediently.

"Yes, Chief, I understand."

"Okay, go ahead."

After Chen Jun left.

Inside the meeting room, the young police officer who had spoken earlier asked with a puzzled look, "Chief, since this Taoist priest can even deal with demons, why don't we investigate his background and make him an advisor to our city bureau?"

"Background information? Consultant?"

Hu Yunshan gave him a half-smile.

"Do you think someone of his status can persuade our small city of Tan to hire him?"

"Identity?" The young police officer asked blankly.

"He's just a minor Taoist priest who lives on Longhu Mountain. There's a Taoist temple there, but I've been there. It's long since fallen into disrepair. What kind of status could he possibly have?"

Hu Yunshan shook his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"In the past, that Taoist temple was known as the ancestral home of Taoism."

"And that young Taoist priest you mentioned, he is the only Purple-Robed Celestial Master in Taoism!"

He was also revered as the leader of Taoism, and was exempt from bowing before the emperor!

"??????"

"Alright, enough of this nonsense. He's a recluse; respect him is enough. Now that the Qingxi Reservoir disappearance case is solved, have you made any progress on the case you're overseeing?"

Upon hearing the question, the young police officer's expression turned serious.

He shook his head.

"Our team is investigating with all our might, but... the killer is still nowhere to be found. Apart from the lotus flower seen around each of the victims, there are no other clues."

Hu Yunshan also sighed slightly: "The higher-ups have already sent a special envoy down. Go and greet him tomorrow and assist them with everything."

"Yes."

.....

The next day.

noon.

Zhang Chuyu had just woken up from her meditation.

A glint of light emanated from his eyes.

Even the aura emanating from him had become stronger.

"Absorbing spirit stones and cultivating for one night is roughly equivalent to one day's worth of pure cultivation."

"This speed is truly incredible; no wonder it sells for 200 merit points."

Zhang Chuyu felt the changes in her dantian and was quite satisfied.

However, looking at the spirit stone in his hand, which had completely lost its luster and had been reduced to an ordinary object, he was filled with envy.

He was also in pain.

If you calculate it that way, your merits are enough for seven days of cultivation.

This is still without buying anything.

"I'm going out to find some supernatural things today. I want to save up as many spirit stones as possible while the store doesn't have purchase limits."

Zhang Chuyu got out of bed.

After washing up, I stood in front of the mirror.

Looking at her handsome and dashing face in the mirror, along with her fair skin and slightly bulging muscles, Zhang Chuyu was very satisfied.

Having become a practitioner yesterday, he discovered that his body was being subtly transformed.

She is even better than before in terms of figure, temperament, and appearance.

In short, it can be summed up in one word.

Handsome!

He changed into a pure white Taoist robe.

Step out of the room.

As is customary, three sticks of incense were offered to the ancestral masters.

Who's going hungry?

We can't let our ancestor go hungry.

"Little Chu Yu, are you awake yet?!"

Just as Zhang Chuyu inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner.

Then a clear, melodious female voice rang out from outside the hall.

He looked toward the sound.

Then I saw a woman who was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a simple white T-shirt on her upper body and hot pants on her lower body, appear not far away.

The woman's beauty was exquisite, in no way inferior to those of big stars.

Her long, shapely legs were quite eye-catching.

That's not the key point, especially the proportions of her front, which are simply perfect.

"Sister Ya..."

Zhang Chuyu clearly knew this woman.

Her name is Wu Ya, and she is the daughter of the former mayor of the town at the foot of the mountain.

She is ten years older than him.

I am twenty-eight this year.

He has enjoyed teasing Zhang Chuyu since he was a child.

He and Zhang Chuyu were practically inseparable.

However, she later got into Peking University.

He stayed in the capital and rarely came back, so we lost touch.

The woman saw Zhang Chuyu.

Her already delicate face blossomed into an irrepressible smile.

He ran up to Zhang Chuyu in two quick steps.

He pulled Zhang Chuyu into his arms.

Instantly.

The air is filled with a pleasant fragrance.

"Little Chu Yu, it's been a long time!"

"Have you missed your sister? Tell me!"

He would press Zhang Chuyu's head down with each sentence he spoke.

Duang~! Duang~!

I finally managed to break free.

Zhang Chuyu took a few deep breaths.

Damn!

Why is it raging again!

I almost suffocated myself!

"Sister Ya, I'm eighteen already! Can't you be a little more mindful of the difference between boys and girls!"

Zhang Chuyu was helpless.

He wasn't this powerless even when facing the snake demon yesterday.

"Oh my, this little brat is talking to me about the difference between boys and girls now. I took you to bathe until you were two, and when you were six you peed on me... Waaah! Waaah!"

She hadn't finished speaking.

Zhang Chuyu was shocked and quickly covered her mouth.

Is this something you can just say?!

I, a dignified Purple-Robed Celestial Master, have no dignity whatsoever?!

It was so hard to get her to shut up.

Wu Ya then straightened her slightly disheveled clothes.

She sat down on the rattan chair outside the hall with a smile.

A pair of captivating, willow-leaf eyes began to scrutinize Zhang Chuyu.

"Hmm, not bad, you're taller, stronger, and even more handsome!"

"Come, sit closer, let your older sister take a closer look and see how old you are this year."

"??????"

Zhang Chuyu's legs tightened instinctively.

His face turned red.

This can be checked! ???

"Stop messing with Ya-jie," Zhang Chuyu quickly interrupted.

When I was little, I didn't understand and let you check me!

Why are you still checking now?

He changed the subject: "When did you get back?"

Hearing Zhang Chuyu's question.

Wu Ya stretched, revealing her beautiful curves.

"Just got back, how was it? Touched?"

Zhang Chuyu also noticed that she seemed a little tired by this time.

It seems that he really did go up the mountain as soon as he got home.

"What happened? Sister Ya, you're back, you're such a busy person."

"It's nothing, I just miss home and I miss you too."

When saying this.

Her eyes were very clear.

Zhang Chuyu felt a warmth in her heart.

Having lived in the mountains for so many years, apart from her cheap master, Sister Ya is indeed one of the few people who cares about her the most.

We chatted for a while.

Before leaving.

Looking at Wu Ya, whose exhaustion was no longer concealed.

Zhang Chuyu took out a spirit stone from her bosom and stuffed it directly into Wu Ya's hand.

"Sister Ya, carry this stone with you at all times. It will strengthen your body, beautify your skin, and make you look ten years younger!"

Wu Ya looked at the spirit stone.

Without any hesitation, I took it directly into my hand.

He pulled Zhang Chuyu into his arms again.

The other hand pinched his cheek hard: "What, you think your sister Ya is too old, huh!"

"I'm perfectly healthy! Try me and see!"

"Trust, trust, trust!!"

Feeling caught in the middle, Zhang Chuyu quickly nodded.

"That's more like it."

"Alright, I'm leaving now. The snacks I bought for you are all outside the hall. Go get them yourself. I'll come back tomorrow."

Done.

Wu Ya waved her hand.

He turned and left with long strides.

Looking at Wu Ya's back.

Zhang Chuyu silently pressed down on her spear.

Fuck!

We almost got exposed!

As Wu Ya descended the mountain, a blush crept onto her face.

She gripped the spirit stone in her hand.

"Hmm~ You've definitely grown bigger than before!"

......

in the afternoon.

Several figures arrived at the Celestial Master's Mansion again.

He knew all of these people.

The leader of the group was Chen Jun, the director of the Tai Tan Cheng Dong Police Station yesterday, along with several police officers.

What's this old fellow doing in my mountains?

Zhang Chuyu was somewhat puzzled.

Upon seeing Zhang Chuyu, Chen Jun's previously serious face immediately broke into a smile.

He walked quickly to Zhang Chuyu.

"Master Zhang, you were busy half the night last night, helping our police station solve a major case. The leaders of the city bureau specially asked me to climb the mountain to express my gratitude."

Thank you?

Zhang Chuyu wasn't interested.

"In addition, our municipal bureau has prepared 100,000 yuan as a token of our appreciation."

One hundred thousand, for incense money!?

Zhang Chuyu's eyes immediately lit up.

Why didn't you say so sooner!

He straightened his Taoist robe and said solemnly.

"Director Chen, you're too kind! Exorcising demons and monsters is my duty, and I cannot shirk it since I've encountered this situation."

Chen Jun's smile deepened. "Look, he really is a master."

He's a shrewd man; after so many years as a policeman, what hasn't he encountered?

Judging from the attitude of their own bureau chief towards Zhang Chuyu yesterday.

He realized that his bureau chief must know or be familiar with this person.

In addition, Zhang Chuyu is truly capable, so it's natural to befriend such a person.

Therefore, he didn't care at all that Zhang Chuyu was just a teenager, and his attitude was quite respectful.

The two had a very pleasant conversation.

Especially after Chen Jun stuffed a thick wad of banknotes into the donation box in front of Zhang Chuyu.

Zhang Chuyu was all smiles.

Oh shit!

100,000 yuan!

I've never seen so much money in my entire life!

In this day and age, even a hero can be brought down by a penny; if you don't have money, even the Jade Emperor won't help.

Besides, I really did help them a lot yesterday, and I deserve it.

Otherwise, facing a snake demon, who knows how many more people would have died.

Even if we hire other experts to deal with it, the cost would probably be far more than 100,000 yuan.

What followed was an even more harmonious relationship between host and guest.

They exchanged contact information.

Wait until they leave.

Zhang Chuyu couldn't wait to open the donation box.

"Pah, pah, one, two... nine hundred and ninety-nine, one thousand!"

no more, no less.

Exactly 100,000.

Money earned through one's own abilities always feels sweeter.

"Let's go down the mountain and buy a cell phone first."

For modern people, not having a mobile phone is like going to a brothel without money.

Open the bread.

Zhang Chuyu headed towards Tan City.

I spent 8,800 yuan at a mobile phone store to replace the same model as before.

The owner even came out from backstage to enthusiastically ask, "Master, you got a new phone again?"

Zhang Chuyu nodded: "Yes."

"What about the old one?"

"I've discarded the old one."

......
