From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 34 Everyone performs their duties
very good, very powerful.

This person is a relative, and a relative with very strong connections.

What else can I say? I can only accept it for now. Even if I keep it as a mascot, it means I have a relationship with the City God.

Even though his boss is a fifth-rank god, You Ming is very clear that this relationship of his is like a nuclear bomb, which can only serve as a deterrent but is rarely used.

If it really comes into use, it must be a huge event that will devastate you.

"Ahem, you are all excellent, I am very optimistic about you, congratulations on being accepted."

You Ming coughed lightly and announced loudly.

Naturally, everyone expressed their gratitude profusely, and even the Dream Fire Fox meowed a few times.

At that moment, You Ming mobilized the clergy and conferred titles on several people one by one.

Because Xiang Po was good at raising babies, she was named "Cedar Lady" and was responsible for the safety of the delivery bed and nighttime protection. She was ordered to roam around the area under her jurisdiction. If a baby showed signs of being frightened, crying at night, or lacking in energy, she would comfort him or report it.

The ghost Wu Mo serves as the [Fire Contract Officer], responsible for recording paper wishes, incense contracts, etc. If there are any documents on weekdays, he will also write them for You Ming.

Chizu Ben'er works as the [Footprint Patrolman]. When there is a need to deliver a letter, he can be asked to run errands. He is also responsible for patrolling Yuanling Mountain to prevent any bad guys from entering or leaving.

There was a Dream Fire Fox, which You Ming had originally considered a mascot. However, Wu Mo reminded him that the Dream Fire Fox was a natural spirit beast. Although it seemed to sleep all day, it was actually a separate spirit stationed at the edge of dreams, clearing away distractions and protecting human dreams.

If it is obtained by a cultivator and kept by his side, it can also capture the inner demon and prevent external evil from invading.

Then he was appointed as the "Dream Guardian", who would patrol the temple during the day and wander in the dreams of children and pregnant women in the jurisdiction at night to protect them from nightmares.

Only when you sleep well can you be healthy, which is very beneficial for pregnant women and children.

"Meow."

A ray of divine light fell on the Dream Fire Fox, and it swung its tail lazily. This little bit of divine protection was better than nothing for it.

But for others, it is a leap of class.

The tattered clothes on the old woman were turned into sturdy cotton clothes, her missing teeth were automatically filled, and her messy hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, making her look much neater.

She was holding a palm-leaf fan in her hand, and looked like an old maid from a wealthy family.

Wu Mo's Confucian robes were replaced with gray clerk's clothes. Although his face and body were deformed and could not be changed, he gave people an overall more capable feeling. He had a brush as thick as his arm on his waist and held a document in one hand.

That document was a projection of You Ming's "Fetal Life Treasure Book". All the contents recorded on the document would be automatically synchronized to the treasure book.

As for the barefoot Ben'er, after he was blessed by the divine light, he wore a light gray short jacket and dark knee-length pants, and a "yellow gray incense belt" tied around his waist, which contained incense ashes from the goddess' temple.

Every time he passed a place, he would sprinkle incense ash along the way so that he would not get lost next time he walked there.

"But we still need someone to guide the ghosts..."

You Ming touched his chin. The gods of child-giving had a very important duty, which was to go to the Yin-Yang Division every month to collect ghosts and send them for reincarnation.

This job looked simple, but it required careful selection and screening of ghosts, lest the lazy ghost officials of the Yin-Yang Division pass off inferior goods as good ones and cram in ghosts with congenital defects. Furthermore, the birth rate in his jurisdiction was increasing, which meant that those who did this job had to be not only meticulous but also hardworking and persevering.

Originally, the job of this Menghuoli was to also serve as the responsibility of guiding ghosts, but unfortunately, this guy always looked like he couldn't wake up, and You Ming was really worried.

……

"Wu Mo, please record the number of incense sticks and the prayers of sentient beings every day for me. You can handle some of the prayers such as those for a safe pregnancy and calming the mind at your discretion. If you cannot resolve them, please report them to the "Fetal Life Treasure Book."

"Ben'er, go to the water port and find the guard, Cang Laoer, and ask him to bring his daughter to Yuanling Mountain."

"Couch Lady, Old Man Wang from Yangjiaoshui Village came to pray. He said his grandson is crying day and night. Please go and comfort him." "As for you...it's okay. Go back to sleep."

With so many more people under You Ming's command, he instantly felt much more relaxed.

Outsiders think being a deity is easy, but it depends on your rank. If you're an ordinary minor deity, you have to do everything yourself and face monthly assessments. If you fail multiple assessments, you'll be kicked out of the Shinto team.

Only when one reaches the leadership level can one have a certain degree of divine composure.

The Dream Fire Fox looked at You Ming with sleepy eyes, and seeing that there was nothing for him to do, he fell back to sleep.

You Ming was in a good mood, so he put his hands behind his back and strolled around the hall of the underworld.

When it arrived in front of the cold pond, it jumped and turned into a colorful koi, diving into the water happily and freely.

Menghuoli opened one eye, glanced at Youming's real body, and then continued to sleep soundly.

While he was dreaming, an almost translucent fiery red cat jumped out of his body, and then with nimble steps, jumped directly into the void and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In fact, it jumped into the dreams of human beings.

However, it rarely disturbs humans, but uses humans' dreams as a springboard to quickly travel within the entire jurisdiction of Niangniang Mountain.

If it occasionally encounters some terrifying nightmares, it will absorb them and use them as nourishment for its own cultivation.

Wu Mo used his divine power to reveal his figure, his entire face shrouded in a hazy mist. Then he picked up a broom and began to clean the entire Niangniang Temple.

As for his documents and brushes, they automatically recorded on the side.

Obviously, this is also one of his abilities.

"I'll go too!"

Barefoot Ben'er's big paws bounced on the ground, as if there were springs under his feet, and in the blink of an eye he ran far away. For a spirit like him, running around is the happiest thing.

The bed lady packed up, picked up a bamboo basket, and walked down the mountain staggeringly.

Although she was old and had weak legs and feet, she was a ghost after all. Within You Ming's jurisdiction, her body was erratic but her speed was not slow.

"what?"

"This is?"

To enter Yangjiaoshui Village, you must first cross a stone bridge.

The bed lady looked at a piece of red paper on the ground. There were two wet little handprints on it, as if a baby's palms were pressed on it.

"call."

The bed lady waved the palm-leaf fan, which turned into a breeze and blew up the red paper.

The red paper instantly turned into ashes as if it were burned by incense, but the two wet little palm prints remained firm and could not be burned.

“Squeak…”

Suddenly, a sound that sounded like neither laughing nor crying came from the void.

"Boom."

A gust of cold wind blew past, and the two small palm prints turned into ashes and disappeared.
