Chapter 406: Attendant
ere""Yes, I have quite a few copies! Which version do you want" The fat shopkeeper beamed."What versions are there Tell me more," Lu Cheng asked."This one, for example, can quickly gather wealth in a...Lu Cheng was listlessly wandering around the courtyard.
All my colleagues went to training, but the handyman is not needed.
Lu Cheng had been thinking recently that if he could finish his work sooner, he could go and make some achievements. That way, he could go to the Tang Palace to help Li Shimin subdue ghosts. He could also invite Li Shimin to visit the underworld for a chat with the emperor of the underworld.
So he improved the broom.
According to legend, a man named Shao Kang invented the broom in ancient times. He saw that chickens would clean up dust when they walked on the ground and then invented the broom.
Lu Cheng was even simpler, he made some small mechanisms, shaped like the girl 【Jīngwèi】 from Gǔwū Mountain. Her tail was long and beautiful.
If you had the [Jīngwèi] girl clean up, I reckon she could fly all over Qiānjī City once and the Shanghǔ wouldn't have to waste energy cleaning up the trash.
It is said to be 【Organ Chimera】, but in reality it's just a bunch of re-skinned 【Organ Falcon】.
Lu Cheng's 【Spirit Card】 is valuable, with only 1 slot available. It can only store one high-star card, and it is shared with AqIng.
This is usually kept for fighting, so it definitely wouldn't be driven by spiritual energy. So why not just use Master Lu's family's [wood] boiler It doesn't consume much anyway.
A group of skilled government officials were flitting about the Yin Division, cleaning with such precision that half an hour later, everything was spotless. The old handymen gaped in astonishment.
Three days later, all the sanitation workers were out of a job.
Let's go somewhere else.
Besides Lu Cheng.
Because he did such a good job, he is now the head of the Cleaning Department at the Spirit-Calming Office.
Of course, the salary hasn't increased, and there are no subordinates because the superiors think it's unnecessary.
Isn't this terrible
!
No wonder Bi Ma Wen wants to revolt!

"Lu Cheng, tomorrow at dawn, rise and purify the streets with water, lay down yellow earth for the road!"

A few days ago, the Demon Slayer Division entered the palace and claimed that there was a flower demon in the Imperial Garden. They caused a huge commotion and made all the empresses unhappy. I, the Chief Supervisor of the Ghost Suppression Department, am returning to the palace to treat His Majesty. Lu Cheng, you are the face of our Ghost Suppression Department! Make sure you behave well tomorrow!
Just sweep the streets, sweep them as you please, and don't even mention wages!
But, this is a good opportunity!
The Department of Exorcism went to the palace to handle a case. Even sweeping the street at the palace gates is an opportunity for them, isn't it
Lu Cheng got up early and took out all his gadgets, even his precious [Gadget Clone], to sweep the streets.
He can only maintain two copies of the Organ Division at a time. This thing is truly precious, it takes him a long time to make it, and the materials used are one piece of Xuan iron and one piece of Ming bamboo.
That is to say, a gold sheet and a wood sheet.
But so far, it's not very useful because Lu Cheng can't use any other types of spiritual energy besides Yin Qi well.
The old Imperial Censor has already died in the palace. It is said that this new Imperial Censor was once a wandering scholar known as the "Yin-Yang Soul Grinder," famous in the southern regions for solving several strange cases. He had just taken office when he was summoned back to the palace.
Because of this case, even the Demon Slayer Agency is unable to handle it.
In recent years, the Zhan Yao Si proposed expanding the ranks of extraordinary individuals and establishing a Zhan Yao Army to conquer all demonic creatures throughout the land, aiming to establish an unparalleled human dynasty. However, with so many talented individuals from across the world joining the army, there was a fear that it would become unwieldy. Moreover, both demons and ghosts weren't entirely harmful, so Emperor Tang ultimately rejected the proposal.
But recently, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin fell ill and could not be cured. He believed that demons or ghosts were to blame. If this continues, this proposal will have to be brought up again.
Lu Cheng knew that to keep the script going, a full-scale war involving humans, demons, and ghosts from the three realms couldn't happen. But in this world, there was no celestial realm to regulate things.
First, we need to resolve the Tang Palace mystery case. Have Li Shimin take a trip at public expense to recuperate and treat Taizong's illness. Follow the plot as it unfolds; how things develop has nothing to do with us. Focus on self-preservation and weathering the storm.
"Who are you" The masked man suddenly noticed that there was someone unfamiliar among the ranks.
"Oh, sir, this is our new errand boy. Don't mind him. Last time the demon-slaying division caused a ruckus in the imperial garden, so this time he's been put in charge of cleanup. We can focus on investigating the case now." Lu Cheng's superior respectfully replied.
"A servant" Shi Zheng glanced at Lu Cheng: "Why are you alone"
"Because I am stronger than six of them," Lu Cheng said helplessly.
"Then you wait here, someone will summon you in later." Apparently, Lu Cheng belonged to the commoners. The masked man continued, "Alright, the old magistrate went into the palace and died at home within three days. Everyone be careful. While palace cases don't have as many rules, they are extremely dangerous. Let's go," the masked man said cautiously.
This is daytime. Lu Cheng knew that once night fell, the supernatural beings would start to become active, and that was when it would be a good time to investigate cases.
So Lu Cheng obediently waited outside the palace gate, fiddling with his mechanism card.
Lord Si Zheng has been in the palace for three hours now, and it is almost evening.
By now, there should be some word on the street.
Lü Chéng remained motionless, attracting attention. In the distance, a procession of palace maids hurried past, their faces etched with panic.
What's wrong What's this
Lu Cheng immediately stood up and activated his divine sense.
Can't see anything
Suddenly, all the officers of the Ghost Suppression Department crawled out, wetting themselves in terror.
"Yikes!"
!!!
There are ghosts!
">
The maids, hearing this, paled with fright. But they trembled and dared not flee.
is not
Lu Chengren was dumbfounded. There was no ghost, so why did they call them here
Why are you shouting so loudly
He scanned the crowd, but the masked man was not in the ranks.
The Town Spirit Suppression Office’s people fled out of the palace gates like sparrows, Lu Cheng carrying his broom, walked over.
Now we can finally go in and clean up the battlefield, right
As expected, no one stopped him. After all, he was wearing the uniform of the Ghost Suppression Bureau.
Lu Cheng stepped into the Xuanwu Gate.
I just feel a little uncomfortable!
I don't know where this feeling comes from.
He could only continue forward, slowly traversing the palace path.
On the surrounding walls, Lu Cheng could faintly see a number of paw prints.
Lu Cheng seemed a little strange.
He was the Yama King, he didn't need to see ghosts with his yin-yang eyes, yet he couldn't see a single ghost.
It's not surprising to have ghosts, it's strange if there are none.
This world is quite chaotic, and it's estimated that the underworld is also extremely busy. There are many lost souls wandering the mortal realm, and those with particularly strong resentment will wreak havoc on humanity.
The reason for the existence of the Ghost Suppression Division also lies in this. Lu Cheng could see ghosts everywhere in some neighborhoods and markets on Chang'an Street, but there were none in the palace.
The deeper Lu Cheng walked, the more uncomfortable he felt.
The guards, on the other hand, appeared as usual. However, they seemed to look at Lu Cheng with disdain in their eyes.
The guards at the Ghost Suppression Division's gatehouse were vigilant, just like those at the Demon Execution Division. They only got to see a pathetic display of people whimpering and wetting themselves.
Lu Cheng continued to go deeper inside.
He wasn't afraid, because he wasn't a person to begin with. He quickly solved the problem, met Emperor Tang, and then communicated with the underworld to plan out the next developments in the plot.
And after accomplishing this, it can be considered a great contribution to resisting the Moon Goddess in this era. Then, I'll go into seclusion to weather the tribulation!
Shouldn't the gatekeepers be able to conscript their own men
This isn't reasonable, is it
Thinking, Lu Cheng walked a few more steps inside.
"Hey, janitor How did you get in here!"
!
Upon hearing the shouts, Lu Cheng followed the sound.
Sir Zheng's mask had shattered, revealing half his handsome face., he would just use his own body."Big brother," Lu Cheng tentatively asked."What's the matter" The ghost turned its head and sized up Lu Cheng."How do I get to the Hall of the King of Hell""That I don...
