Chapter 197 Choosing the City God

"Zhuo Lin is back?"

Cheng Shaoyu's face was filled with joy and he couldn't help but look at Xu Wenwen and said with a smile: "Junior Brother Xu has trained a good disciple. It seems that Zhuo Lin must have successfully completed his mission and returned?"

Seeing Cheng Shaoyu praising his disciple, Xu Wenwen felt a little proud, and responded with a smile: "Brother, why do you need to praise me? Who doesn't know that Zhuo Lin can be where he is today, and senior brother has also cultivated him with merit. If there were no senior brother, I would be alone. People want to train Zhuo Lin to the point where he is today, but it is hard to say whether he can do it."

"Junior brother, why should I be too modest? Haha, Zhuo Lin is my junior brother's son after all. Junior brother will ultimately take the lead in cultivating Zhuo Lin. As for senior brother, I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha statues and did some extra things."

Cheng Shaoyu laughed again when he heard this. As Xu Wenwen said, he had also contributed to cultivating Zhuo Lin. Otherwise, Xu Wenwen alone might not be able to cultivate Zhuo Lin to the point where he is today.

"Please Zhuo Lin come in!"

While talking to Xu Wenwen, Cheng Shaoyu casually gave instructions to the Taoist boy.

"Yes."

The Taoist boy agreed and went out to invite Zhuo Lin in.

As soon as Daotong left, Xu Wenwen's face suddenly showed curiosity, and he couldn't help but said to Cheng Shaoyu: "Brother Cheng, it is said that the reason for selecting the disciples this time is because of the city's city god." appointment?"

Cheng Shaoyu smiled and said: "Junior brother is right. This selection is indeed due to the appointment of the county emperor? By then, not only our Lingji City, but also other Xuanji City, Tianji City, Thunder City, Lingshi City, Lingting City We will also send disciples to participate.”

"Senior brother, I just can't figure it out. Why does a city god's appointment require disciples to participate? Wouldn't it be easier to send high-level officials like us to participate?"

Xu Wenwen looked confused, obviously unable to figure out why this was happening.

"Junior brother doesn't understand this."

Cheng Shaoyu burst into laughter upon hearing this, "The senior officials of the Provincial Highway Council naturally don't want this. However, these matters are not something they can decide."

"In fact, the City God appointed me. This time, the matter is quite special, and all parties are watching. Especially the evil heretics."

"So, Junior Brother Xu, this incident cannot be made a big fanfare. Otherwise, the City God may have been killed on the way before he came to take office."

"In addition, there is an extremely critical point. The Provincial and Provincial Council has an idea for this city city emperor's appointment, and has already made a candidate. However, it is not just the Provincial and Provincial Council that has candidates? "

"So, this time, the appointment of the City God can be said to be a struggle among all parties, not only our Taoist Association, but also various evil heretics, as well as various underground forces."

"So, when the time comes, when the City God appoints him, all forces will definitely appear together and gather in the underground world."

"So, the underground world at that time must have been very lively."

"And when that time comes, the provincial highway will definitely send people there."

"However, at the Provincial Road Committee, there is a frontal competition, but there is also a need to work hard in the dark. Therefore, someone needs to do the hard work in the dark."

"For example, if you can't protect the City God from successfully arriving at the Fujun Palace to participate in the competition, then everything will be in vain."

"In addition, before the City God appears, our candidates must also be kept secret."

"Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time if the enemy knew about it in advance and carried out the assassination?"

"So, when the City God arrives, he will naturally send people to protect him."

"These people who protect the City God naturally cannot choose experts, otherwise, the enemy will know it immediately."

"In fact, the protection of the City God is done secretly. Therefore, in the end, the Provincial Highway Association finally decided to select personnel from among our major municipal highway associations after careful consideration."

"This manpower is to select one person from each of our six major municipal councils."

"This is why we here are trying our best to find ways to screen out the masters."

"The participation of masters is not only a matter of improving the success rate of the task. Once successful, our side, as the senior management of the market association, will also be rewarded."

"After all, if we can successfully make City God ours this time, it will be a great achievement for us."

"When the time comes, not only you, junior brother, but also senior brother me will definitely be rewarded."

"Of course, the premise is that the manpower we provide can perform meritorious service in the selection of the city god this time. If not, of course it is another matter."

"However, no matter what, as long as it can be screened, it will be a publicity thing for our city council. So, in the end, unless Zhuo Lin's performance is really too poor, in the end, the reward will definitely be more or less It will all happen."

"So this is ah."

When Xu Wenwen heard this, he suddenly realized, "According to what senior brother said, wouldn't it be that the stronger Zhuo Lin is, the better?"

"Of course."

Cheng Shaoyu laughed when he heard it, "That's for sure. Do you need to say this? However, when the time comes, what Zhuo Lin can show will ultimately depend on him."

"On the contrary, this time, our choice is also to deliberately choose the strongest disciple. After all, senior brother, I also hope that this disciple can bring glory to our market association."

"When the time comes, after it has gained glory, not only will I benefit, but all the senior executives will also be able to receive better benefits."

"After all, if Zhuo Lin performs well, the Provincial Highway Council will undoubtedly grant us more benefits."

Xu Wenwen nodded and smiled again, "That's true. No wonder we have to choose the strongest disciple, but Zhuo Lin deserves the title."

"Yes, well deserved."

Cheng Shaoyu smiled and nodded, as if he agreed with Xu Wenwen's words, "I didn't expect that Zhuo Lin's strength was so strong. This time, regarding the disappearance of the land god, I originally thought that even Zhuo Lin It would definitely take a lot of effort to be able to complete it, but I didn’t expect that this person would complete it so quickly after arriving at the place. It seems that Zhuo Lin’s strength is actually stronger than I imagined. . In this way, it’s all thanks to my junior brother’s good teaching. If it weren’t for my junior brother’s good teaching, I’m afraid Zhuo Lin wouldn’t be where he is today.”

"Haha, senior brother, thank you!"

Xu Wenwen laughed again when he heard this.

Cheng Shaoyu's praise still made him very happy.

However, immediately afterwards, his eyes couldn't help but fall on the antique picture on the wall, "Senior Brother, instead of saying these unnutritious words, why not say something reasonable? This painting is given to Junior Brother. how?"

"Send it away? Junior brother actually came up with the idea of ​​​​my painting again?"

When Cheng Shaoyu heard this, his face suddenly fell, and he was unhappy, "Junior brother, everything else is easy to talk about, but this painting cannot be given to junior brother no matter what. Junior brother is still temporarily Don't take advantage of senior brother's painting, right? Senior brother knows that junior brother loves painting, but no matter how much he loves painting, he can't find a way to get all the paintings into his home, right?"

"Haha, senior brother, I knew that you would be anxious when it comes to painting. Sure enough, the promise just now cannot be taken seriously."

When Xu Wenwen heard this, he immediately shouted at Cheng Shaoyu with a sarcastic expression.

He looked like he had expected Cheng Shaoyu to do this.When Cheng Shaoyu heard this, he immediately knew that he had been deceived. He couldn't help but shake his head on the spot and pointed at Xu Wenwen, with a helpless attitude.

At this moment, footsteps sounded, and Tao Tong suddenly walked in with Zhuo Lin.

Seeing Zhuo Lin, Cheng Shaoyu and Xu Wenwen, who were chatting and joking, immediately stopped talking.

Their eyes fell on Zhuo Lin at the same time, and smiles appeared on their faces for the first time.

Obviously, both Cheng Shaoyu and Xu Wenwen are very satisfied with Zhuo Lin.

"Greetings to Uncle Master, greetings to Master."

Zhuo Lin bowed and saluted Cheng Shaoyu and Xu Wenwen at the same time.

"Haha, Zhuo Lin, it seems that the task has been completed well, get up!"

Xu Wenwen laughed and stretched out his hand to help Zhuo Lin, gesturing for him to get up.

"Thank you Master."

Zhuo Lin thanked him and stood up straight.

"It seems that you have completed this mission. How was the mission? What's going on with the Earth God? What kind of evil is harming the Earth God?"

Then, seeing Zhuo Lin stand up, Xu Wenwen immediately asked him to sit down, and then began to ask him about the entire task process.

When Zhuo Lin heard this, a wry smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Even until this moment, when he thought of the malignant spirit with six arms, his expression was still very ugly.

After all, at that time, if Qin Jian hadn't been there, let alone him, it would have been normal for the whole group to be wiped out in the face of the evil spirit.

After all, the Evil Spirit's strength is simply too powerful for them.

Even if Zhuo Lin joins forces with others, there is no way he can be a match for the Evil Spirit.

Therefore, at this time, upon hearing Xu Wenwen's inquiry, his expression immediately changed again.

But Xu Wenwen, observing the words and expressions, immediately realized something and said in surprise: "What? Did you encounter a powerful evil thing?"

Only then did Zhuo Lin come to his senses, and replied: "If you go back to the master, you have indeed encountered a powerful evil thing. This time, the disciple almost died. The scourge of the land god turned out to be a vicious monster with six arms." spirit."

"What? The evil spirit?"

Xu Wenwen was shocked.

Cheng Shaoyu couldn't help the body sitting on the chair and trembled suddenly, "What's going on? What's going on? The evil spirit? This evil thing is extremely powerful?"

However, the next moment, he realized something and smiled on his face. He looked at Zhuo Lin and said with a smile: "I didn't expect, Zhuo Lin, you can even deal with the evil spirit. Your strength, It’s much stronger than your master and I estimated.”

"Yes."

When Xu Wenwen heard this, he also nodded and said: "Zhuo Lin, I didn't expect, nor did I expect that you would encounter a malignant spirit. However, what made my teacher even more unexpected was that you could even turn into a malignant spirit. Deal with it. Your strength is far beyond my teacher’s expectations.”

As he said this, Xu Wenwen became more and more pleased.

The stronger Zhuolin is, the more beneficial it will be for him. Next, if he participates in the task of appointing the city god held by the provincial council, the higher the possibility of meritorious service and the more likely he is to serve them as a city god. Will gain glory.

Cheng Shaoyu obviously thought the same way.

He also nodded and looked at Zhuo Lin, "Yes, I didn't expect that, Zhuo Lin, your strength has become stronger and stronger. You can actually deal with the evil spirit. This is between me and your master. I didn’t even think of it.”

"Okay, you have done a good job. This time, go back and prepare with peace of mind."

As he said that, Cheng Shaoyu looked at Zhuo Lin's face and became more and more appreciative and satisfied.

However, unexpectedly, when the two people said what they said, instead of showing any joy on Zhuo Lin's face, he looked extremely uneasy.

He hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said to Cheng Shaoyu and Xu Wenwen: "Uncle, Master, you two have misunderstood. This time, we did encounter a malignant spirit. However, this malignant spirit is not a disciple." Can be dealt with."

"In the end, there was someone else who dealt with the evil spirit. If it weren't for this person, I'm afraid the disciple would have died in the Earth Temple."

"Is there such a thing?"

Cheng Shaoyu was surprised.

Xu Wenwen was also surprised.

However, the next moment, they did not doubt Zhuo Lin's words.

After all, when they originally guessed that it was the evil spirit that Zhuo Lin killed, they were still a little surprised.

After all, the two of them had a deep understanding of Zhuo Lin's strength, and knew that Zhuo Lin was very reluctant to deal with the evil spirit.

Therefore, although they speculated at that time that Zhuo Lin had killed the evil spirit, the two of them were still confused.

At the moment, Zhuo Lin's words made the two of them come back to their senses instantly.

At the same time, of course, there is also a little disappointment in my heart.

However, they were disappointed, and at the same time, the two of them felt calm about the current situation.

After all, this is the normal situation.

With Zhuo Lin's strength, how could he possibly kill the evil spirit?

The next moment, Cheng Shaoyu said to Zhuo Lin with a serious expression: "So, there just happened to be a master passing by the Earth Temple? It seems that your luck is good. You just met a master and saved you. This master is Who? Zhuo Lin, you have to thank him when you turn around? Is it someone from our city road association? Or did the president of the county road association go there in person?"

After knowing that it was not the evil spirit that Zhuo Lin killed, it was a little more than that, so he immediately guessed.

Apparently, it never occurred to him that among Zhuo Lin and his party, someone would be able to kill the evil spirit.

After all, even captain Zhuo Lin couldn't do it, let alone others.

Therefore, the first thing he could guess was that a master passed by and happened to save Zhuo Lin and the others.
