Chapter 40 Shenji Camp
The position of "Experience", with an official rank of eighth rank, is mainly responsible for the exchange of official documents and assisting the governor in handling affairs related to monsters and monsters in a county.
To put it simply, Gu Xu will become Chen Jisheng’s right-hand assistant and personal secretary in the future.
Perhaps there is a successor.
Gu Xu is only a first-level cultivator now, and he is only seventeen years old, with very little qualifications.
Appointing him as the head of the Yishui Exorcist Department is definitely an exceptional promotion.
Even Chu Fengge was vaguely jealous of him.
Because such an exceptional promotion symbolizes the Lord Chief's favor for him.
But Gu Xu still behaved calmly.
It was as if what was before him was not an appointment letter written by the chief executive, but an ordinary daily official document.
"Master Chu, I have a question about my humble position." Gu Xu stood up from his seat and said politely to Chu Fengge.
"Say."
"I have seen in the archives that among the officials of the Yishui County Exorcist Department, there is only one seventh-grade governor, one eighth-grade inspector, and one eighth-grade inspector. One person is a grinder, one is a ninth-grade police officer, and one is a ninth-grade jailer. They have no experience in this position."
Hearing Gu Xu's words, Chu Fengge frowned slightly.
He didn't expect Gu Xu to be so serious about such a trivial matter.
Could it be that he thought... the appointment letter written by the chief executive himself would still be false?
But Chu Fengge still replied patiently: "In the Exorcist Department, the word 'preparation' is what the chief executive said -
"The chief executive thinks that , Just doing a ninth-level job is a waste of your talents and talents. You should take on more important responsibilities. ”
Gu Xu nodded and agreed with his statement.
The reason why he asked this question was just out of habitual caution to prevent fraud and pitfalls.
< br>
Then, he pondered for two seconds and asked another question that was very important to him: "How much is the annual salary for a job?"
Chu Fengge's expression froze again.
In Chu Fengge's view, normal young people should have been overjoyed and grateful to the chief executive when encountering such a great thing as an exceptional promotion.
How can you dwell on something as unimportant as your salary?
“Forty-five taels of silver.” Chu Fengge said gloomily.
Gu Xu sincerely thanked Chu Fengge and sat back on the chair.
When he was a small official, his monthly salary was two taels of silver. After one year, I can get twenty-four taels of silver.
Now his annual income has almost doubled.
He was very satisfied.
After a while, he might be able to pay someone to help him renovate and renovate his dilapidated small courtyard.
As for Chu Fengge's cold attitude, Gu Xu also noticed it.
Gu Xu could guess that Master Chu was probably used to living a wealthy life with no worries about food and clothing in the capital, and did not understand the importance of this salary to a poor grassroots official like himself.
It can be said that "a full man does not know that a hungry man is hungry".
However, just as Gu Xu was thinking about how to spend the new salary, Chu Fengge’s voice sounded again:
“What is written in this appointment letter is only for you temporarily. position.”
Temporary position?
What does it mean?
Gu Xu felt a little puzzled by this.
Is it possible that after some time, I will be promoted again?
"Gu Xu, you still have an identity now, and you are a reserve member of Daqi's 'Shenji Battalion'," Chu Fengge explained, "One year from now is the inspection period for you.< br>
"If you perform well during this one-year inspection period, at this time next year, you will go to Luojing City and officially become a member of the 'Shenji Camp', working with the best young talents in the country."< br>
"'Shenji Camp'..." Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.
He read through the classics and naturally understood the meaning of this word.
In the sixth year of Tianxing, that is, seventeen years ago, the Daqi Dynasty, at the suggestion of Lu Huan, the chief minister of the cabinet at the time, led the exorcism department and devoted all the efforts of the country to create the "Shenji Camp" for the first time. ".
That is a special operations team to deal with ghosts.
The most talented young practitioners in the country, including those from the Exorcism Department, from various major sects, and solitary practitioners, were all included. The saints personally gave them guidance.
Heavenly materials, earthly treasures, miraculous elixirs, and even the top martial arts and magic weapons in Daqi's secret treasury are all at their disposal.
They have received the best training resources in the country, and they also perform the most risky tasks in the country.
Killing Niuhuang, destroying Yuqi, killing Zhu Yan, beheading Wutong Shen... these are all the glorious achievements of the monks of Shenji camp.
At that time, all young people were proud to join the "Shenji Camp".
However, the glory of "Shenji Camp" did not last long.
Two years later, during an operation to kill the ferocious beast Qiongqi, the "Shenji Camp" was unfortunately wiped out and no one survived.
In the same year, Lu Huan, the chief minister of the cabinet who first proposed the creation of the "Shenji Camp", was also convicted of treason and was executed by the Nine Tribes.
The Qingzhou Lu family, which was once famous for a while, disappeared into thin air.
Since then, the "Shenji Camp" has become a taboo in the Daqi Dynasty.
Perhaps, as time goes by, it will eventually sink into the dust of history and be forgotten by the world.
But now, someone actually proposed to rebuild the "Shenji Camp"!
Moreover, this plan to restart the "Shenji Camp" has actually begun to be implemented!
What is hidden behind this?
Is this a new round of power game among the big shots in Beijing? Or will the Daqi Dynasty face an unprecedented crisis?
Many speculations suddenly popped up in Gu Xu's mind.
“Because the long night is coming.”
As if aware of Gu Xu’s confusion, Chu Fengge gave the answer calmly.
"Long Night"-this is a word that makes people shudder when it sounds.
Gu Xu knew that a long night was a long dark night.
In the wilderness, the long night falls once every few decades.
The "Long Night" often lasts for several months.
During this period, the sun never rises and darkness covers the earth.
The Yin Qi will be stronger than usual, and the ghosts will become more ferocious and terrifying than usual.
Every time the long night falls, many people and even monks will be killed or injured, resulting in the tragic death of countless families.
For the Daqi Dynasty, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult test.
“Master Sishou used the magic of heaven to deduce that the next long night will come within three years,” Chu Fengge added, “Before that, we need to be fully prepared.< br>
“The Shenji Battalion is the vanguard force when the long night falls. ”
Gu Xu nodded again, indicating that he was taught.
After some thinking, he understood that "Shenji Camp" was both a challenge and an opportunity for him.
Although joining the "Shenji Camp" requires you to perform some dangerous tasks...
But he can also obtain the best training resources in the country.
For example, rare elixirs;
For example, guidance from saints;
For example, top martial arts;
For example, top-grade Kung Fu.
Gu Xu was born as a commoner and had no background. He was far behind the children of aristocratic families at the starting line... If he followed the normal development path, he might struggle to obtain these resources throughout his life.
But joining the "Shenji Camp" means that anything is possible.
Breaking through the seventh realm before the age of thirty may no longer be a daydream.
It can be said that the "Shenji Camp" with high risks and high returns is a ladder to the sky for ordinary people.
So, in order to survive for a long time, Gu Xu is determined to get the official quota in the "Shenji Camp".
