Big dreamer

After hearing Baihecheng's straightforward words, all the guests had different expressions and started talking.

"We have indeed heard about the ghost thing, but the head of the house must have made some arrangements when he summoned us." Xie Yuxin opened her eyes and spoke first.

"Yes. People in the city are now panic-stricken. The government discussed with several of our aristocratic families and decided to gather the power of the whole city and recruit talented people to fight against ghosts everywhere. They also issued a ghost hunting list to encourage them." Baihe City He nodded and continued.

"May I ask the head of the family, is this list unique to my Bai family?" Xie Yuxin asked again.

"Haha, this task list is not unique to my Bai family, but is issued by the government. The Yamen, Lin family, and Du family all have it. The tasks above may be completed by others at any time, so whichever task you like, you must start. Be quick." Bai Hecheng said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, all the guests present showed a trace of anxiety and were ready to make a move.

"Everyone, please be patient. A copy of the official ghost hunting list has been placed in the accounting room. The mission content and the rewarded fairy jade materials are marked in more detail. You can check it yourself later. But in Before that, Bai has something to say in advance." Bai Hecheng stretched out his hands and pressed them towards everyone, his expression became serious.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly became quiet.

"The tasks on the ghost hunting list are rich in rewards, but the contents are also very dangerous. You must act according to your ability. In addition, you are my guests of the Bai family. If you complete the task, you must return to the Bai family's accounting office to report, and then the Bai family will unify Go to the government to deliver it," Baihecheng said.

Naturally, all the guests had no objection to the danger. After all, risks and opportunities coexisted. It was impossible to wait for the reward to come to your door without taking any responsibility. As for returning to the Bai family to pay the task, they all felt that it was their duty.

Only Shen Luo felt a little strange. She didn't understand why Baihe City specifically asked this?

"Everyone, at this time of crisis, I still hope that everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties and work together to protect and build peace in Ye City." Baihecheng said with a smile on his face.

"Even without this ghost hunting list, it is my job to conquer demons and eliminate ghosts. I will definitely not ruin our reputation as the number one exorcist family in the Bai family." Xie Yuxin said this, and everyone else also clasped their fists. go along.

"Thank you to fellow Taoist, I feel relieved." Bai Hecheng smiled and nodded.

Then, he ordered everyone to go to the accounting hall, where the details of various tasks had been posted.

Shen Luo also followed the crowd and walked out of the hall.

"Master, are you really not going to tell them about the fight between the Lin and Du families for the No. 1 exorcism family?" Bai Jiangfeng asked after everyone left.

"No, if this matter is leaked, these guests may have other thoughts. I have already understood it secretly, and the Lin and Du families have not told this matter." Bai Hecheng shook his head and said.

"That's right." After Bai Jiangfeng said, he raised his hand and waved, and a piece of white silk appeared in his palm.

The white silk was covered with small characters written in ink, which contained the contents of the ghost-catching missions. However, they were slightly different from what Baihecheng had said before. There were no fairy jade or spiritual material rewards after the missions, only some numbers were written on them.

"The government really knows how to calculate carefully and come up with the title of the No. 1 Exorcist Family in order to complete the tasks on the ghost hunting list. The accumulated merit points will be used to calculate the results and let our three major families compete for the top spot. However, they The reward for the No. 1 exorcist family is also very generous. We have no choice but to fight for the management rights of three popular shops on Xuanwu Street and 30% of the transportation rights of the dock outside the city," Bai Jiangfeng said with a click of his tongue.

"There is nothing the government can do. There has been a sudden outbreak of ghosts recently. If suppressed in a short period of time, it will have a great impact on Jianye City." Baihecheng said in a deep voice.

"But what's going on recently? Frequent incidents of demons and monsters causing trouble in various places are happening. Is it true that there is some kind of disaster coming as rumored by the outside world?" Bai Jiangfeng frowned.

"Let's deal with the matter at hand first." Baihecheng said noncommittally.

…

While Bai Hecheng and Bai Jiangfeng were talking, a group of guests from the Bai family had gathered in the Bai family's accounting room.

In the lobby of the accounting room, there is a wooden list erected about ten feet high. The various tasks written on it are arranged one by one, the entries are clear, and they are all in an unfinished state.

Shen Luo stood at the back of the crowd, stood on tiptoe and looked around, and saw densely packed small characters written on the list. They were exactly one ghost exorcism mission, the location and the reason were clearly written.

There are various rewards at the end of the mission. In addition to fairy jade, there are also some spiritual materials and other items.

"There is a ghost causing trouble in the Zhuangyuan Bridge area of ​​the South Gate. It is suspected to be a water ghost. It is good at diving. It is strong and thick-skinned. The reward for killing it is two fairy jade."

"Liujia Village in the east of the city is haunted. Five people have been injured and several livestock have been robbed. The identity is unknown. The reward is a piece of fire, gold and wood."

"There are female ghosts crying every night in Liulin Town in the south of the city, and the villagers are frightened..."

Shen Luo's eyes couldn't help but light up. The rewards for the missions on the list were really generous. There were just two or three immortal jades, many of which were more than five, which was equivalent to several months or even a year of his salary. Although those spiritual materials were I don’t recognize most of them, but they all seem extraordinary.

"There are so many good things!" Seeing this, Bai Xiaoyun showed a hint of surprise on his face.

When all the guests saw the contents of the mission, their faces showed joy.

Although they, the guests of the Bai family, can enjoy some cultivation resources on weekdays, fairy jade is very rare. In addition to the normal supply, they can only be given if they have performed meritorious services for the house. Their lives are generally tight, and it appears like this all at once. It's really rare to see so many high-paying tasks.

Shen Luo looked at it for a while, then shook his head slightly, looked away, and turned to leave.

It's not that he doesn't want to perform these tasks, but that he is self-aware.

With his current level of cultivation, he may not be a match for those ghosts when doing tasks. Secondly, even if he can defeat certain ghosts, he may still have to spend some talismans and other items. It may not be cost-effective to come and go.

Now that he is practicing the unknown technique quite smoothly, and he has made two foreign fortunes, he is naturally not very interested in fairy jade and those materials. He came here this time just to learn more.

"Why, Brother Shen is not interested in these tasks?" Bai Xiaoyun came over and asked.

"There are too many people in front, I'll check again later." Shen Luo smiled and said casually.

"Why do you, a little kid like you who has not yet fully grown hair on his mouth, want to take the risk to do the task of exorcising ghosts? I'm afraid that if the ghost is not exorcised, you will become a ghost first, right?" At this moment, a strange voice came from came from the side.
