This god is really evil

Chapter 48: Li Yan, the Spiritual Officer of the Astronomical Bureau (asking for monthly ticket)
Registered as a lay disciple?

Hearing this, Taoist Master Zhenxu was stunned at first, then his old face immediately broke into a smile, and he nodded repeatedly:

"Of course! Our Qianyun Dao Palace is not bound by rules. If someone has not yet resolved his worldly ties and is devoted to the Dao, he can register as a lay disciple and practice at home."

This young man obviously wanted to be a lay disciple of Qianyun Taoist Palace, and not to practice directly in the Taoist Palace. In this way, although he could not stay in the Taoist Palace forever, at least he had the status of a lay disciple, which was considered to be a Taoist affinity with Qianyun Taoist Palace.

Sure enough, I heard the young man in front of me bow and say:
"In this case, I am willing to become a registered lay disciple of Qianyun Taoist Palace. I hope that Master Dao will grant my wish."

Taoist Master Zhenxu stroked his beard, flicked the whisk in his hand, and regained his immortal appearance. He smiled and said:

"It's not easy for a young master to have such a character. I will naturally help him. From today on, you will be a registered lay disciple of my Qianyun Taoist Palace, and you will be under my name!"

Li Yan immediately bowed deeply and said:

"In that case, disciple thanks you very much, Taoist priest!"

Liu Yunhe on the side was also looking at Li Yan with a smile, and the more he looked, the happier he became.

This kid is not only sensible, but also smart and knows how to take the face of old guys like them into consideration. Even if he is not a natural born genius, he is still a rare talent.

How did you end up in a place like Yizhuang?
The pearl was almost covered in dust.

He smiled and said:

"that……"

Then his smile froze, as he suddenly remembered that he had been so busy competing with Taoist Zhenxu for disciples that he had forgotten to ask the young man's name!

Although it has been found that there is no evil spirit on the other party and he is not a follower of evil gods, it is really embarrassing not to know any background at all.

Fortunately, this young man was very well-behaved. He immediately clasped his fists and saluted again, saying:
"My two elders, I am a native of Weizi Town. My surname is Li and my given name is Yan. My parents died when I was young. I have an older brother and a sister-in-law. My older brother works as a waiter at Fu Ren Tang. I was originally studying at a private school in town, but I am not really a student. In order to supplement my family income, I joined the charity cemetery three months ago. Now I am an apprentice in the cremation of corpses in the cemetery."

In just a few words, he explained his family background clearly, which immediately made the two old men in front of him happy again.

He is really a smart kid.

You know, there is a very important reason why they value Li Yan, the natural chosen one, so much, and that is that Li Yan does not have any defects at all, including his mind!

Those chosen by God are envied by heaven and earth and loved by the gods. When such "blessings" come to mortals, they are often accompanied by severe physical and mental disabilities, and even the inability to communicate normally.

A situation like Li Yan's is simply unheard of.

Liu Yunhe immediately said:
"Li Yan, you are very good. I have some important things to do these days, so I won't be returning to the county for the time being. This is the badge of the officer in charge of the living things in the Sitianjian. Please keep it. When I return to the prison in a few days, I will immediately handle the identity documents for you."

As he spoke, he took out a black metal plate the size of a police officer's ID. The metal plate had flowing cloud and dragon patterns all around it, a tiger head pattern on the upper back, and the three words "Si Tian Jian" written in large gold-plated characters below, while the upper front had a Vermillion Bird pattern with the two words "Ling Guan" written on it, and a blank space.

Liu Yunhe took out the writing brush, concentrated his mind and wrote with great speed. He actually used the soft writing brush to carve the two words "Li Yan" directly on the metal badge.

Ao Le and Chong Yun on the side were also a little jealous at this time. When they joined the Imperial Observatory, they were given standard waist badges and had their names engraved on them at the blacksmith shop, but they had never received the treatment of having their names written by Liu Yunhe himself.

After Liu Yunhe finished writing, he handed the badge to Li Yan with a smile.

Li Yan immediately took it with both hands and said:
"Thank you, Master Liu!"

Liu Yunhe smiled and said:

"Well, since you have entered the Sitianjian as a spiritual officer, you are considered a disciple of me, the supervisor."

Li Yan immediately said again:

"Master Liu!"

Liu Yunhe laughed.

Taoist Master Zhenxu, who was standing by, was annoyed. He snorted coldly, took out a talisman from his arms and handed it to Li Yan, saying:

"My Qianyun Taoist Palace does not have waist badges or other mundane things. This is a life-protecting talisman drawn by the old Taoist himself. It can not only prove your identity, but also block the attack of the evil spirit. If you go to Qianyun Taoist Palace one day and show this talisman, no one will dare to stop you."

Li Yan quickly took the talisman with both hands, bowed sincerely and thanked him:

"Thank you, Master!" Upon hearing the title of Master, Taoist Zhenxu's old face almost broke with laughter, feeling more comfortable than drinking aged wine. He then squinted at Liu Yunhe and said:
"Why, Old Liu, you are so stingy that you don't even have a greeting gift for my disciple?"

Liu Yunhe said unhappily:
"Regard your name, layman, disciple! Li Yan is originally my student!"

As he spoke, he put on a friendly face, took out a piece of white paper, picked up the brush in his hand, dipped it in cinnabar, and said to Li Yan:
"What talisman? It's too vulgar. I will give you a calligraphy. I hope you can have a pure heart."

As he spoke, he threw the white paper and it stood in front of him like a mirror. Then, with a solemn expression, he wrote two big words in a flash:
Suppress evil!

Just looking at these two words makes people feel lightened, as if all the evil spirits in the heart have been cleansed away.

The evil aura of Yizhuang, which had already been cleared by the previous battle, now gave people a warm feeling.

This piece of calligraphy is clearly infused with Liu Yunhe's spiritual thoughts!
Li Yan was overjoyed, and quickly took the calligraphy, carefully kept it, put it in his arms, and said:

"Thank you, Master Liu, for your kindness!"

Liu Yunhe watched him hide the calligraphy close to his body with a smile, then nodded with satisfaction.

The two words "Zhenxie" can not only dispel evil spirits, but also be comparable to his full-strength attack when facing evil spirits. It can also be used to test whether Li Yan has evil spirits.

The same goes for the life-protecting talisman that Taoist Zhenxu just sent out.

Now Li Yan has been thoroughly examined by the two of them, proving that he is indeed innocent and not tainted by any evil spirit.

That's even more of a treasure.

Liu Yunhe continued:

"Li Yan, you are new to the Imperial Observatory and you don't understand many things yet. In the next few days, follow Ao Le and Chong Yun to investigate cases and slowly get familiar with the affairs of the Imperial Observatory. Your master and Taoist Master Zhenxu still have important things to do, so you will have to rely on yourselves in the next few days."

Then he waved his hand and said:
"Aole, Chongyun."

Aole and Chongyun immediately stepped forward and clasped their fists together and said:
"Master Liu."

Liu Yunhe said to the two of them:

"Xiao Yan has joined the Imperial Observatory and will be one of our family members from now on. In the next few days, you two should help him investigate cases and help him get familiar with the official duties of the Imperial Observatory. Of course, you must protect him well."

Aole and Chongyun looked at each other and said in unison:

"Yes!"

Ao Le immediately clasped his fists and saluted Li Yan:

"Brother Li."

Chongyun's face was stern and he also bowed.

Li Yan also immediately smiled and saluted:
"Brother Aole, Brother Chongyun, you two are seniors in the Sitianjian, please bear with us."

Two free bodyguards were assigned to him, and they seemed to be quite powerful.

Liu Yunhe nodded and said:
"In that case, I will leave with Taoist Master Zhenxu."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the headless body of the assassin suddenly stood up, followed Liu Yunhe, and strode away together.

Taoist Zhenxu laughed at Li Yan, waved his hand, and followed Liu Yunhe.

He originally came here to help Liu Yunhe, but he didn't expect to pick up a disciple who was born to be chosen by God. He felt very happy.

Li Yan, Ao Le and Chong Yun followed behind to see them off. After they left, Li Yan looked at Ao Le and Chong Yun, then asked in a low voice:

"May I ask, two senior brothers, what case are we investigating?"

Aole said solemnly:
"Now that you are a spiritual officer who monitors life, you will naturally know that what we are investigating now is a mysterious and harmful cult called the Yuhua Society!"
