Hearing Bai Crane Cheng's straightforward words, all the guests had different expressions on their faces and started to discuss.
Xie Yuxin opened his eyes and spoke first, "We have indeed heard about the ghosts, but the Family Head must have called us here for some arrangements."
"Yes. Everyone in the city is in a state of panic right now. The government and several of our families have discussed and decided to gather the strength of the entire city to gather capable people to fight against the ghosts. They have also issued a Ghost Catching List as a form of encouragement. "Bai Hecheng nodded and continued.
"May I ask the Family Head, is this list exclusive to our Bai Family?" Xie Yuxin asked again.
"Hehe, this list is not exclusive to our Bai Family. It is issued by the government. The government, the Lin Family, and the Du Family all have it. The tasks on the list can be completed by others at any time. So if you have your eyes on a task, you must do it quickly." Bai Crane Cheng said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, all the guests showed a trace of anxiety and were ready to move.
"Everyone, please don't be impatient. The copy of the Ghost Catching List has been placed in the accountant's office. The contents of the tasks and the spiritual materials rewarded have been marked in detail. You can go and check it later. But before that, I have something to say in advance. "Bai Crane Cheng stretched out his hands and gestured to the crowd with a serious expression.
Everyone heard this and immediately quieted down.
"The rewards for the tasks on the Ghost Catching List are generous, but the contents are also very dangerous. You must act according to your ability. In addition, you are all guests of our Bai Family. If you complete the task, you must report it to the Bai Family's accountant. Then, the Bai Family will go to the government together. "Bai Crane Cheng said.
The guests naturally had no objection to the danger. After all, risk and opportunity coexisted. How could they just wait for the rewards to come to them without taking any risks? As for reporting the tasks to the Bai Family, they also felt that it was reasonable.
Only Shen Luo felt a little strange. He did not understand why Bai Crane Cheng specifically reminded them of this.
"Everyone, at this time of crisis, I hope that everyone can work together to overcome this crisis and do their best to protect the peace of Jianye City," Bai Hecheng said with a face full of smiles.
"Even without this Ghost Catcher List, it's still part of our duty to exterminate demons and ghosts. We won't tarnish our reputation as the number one exorcist family," Xie Yuxin said. The rest of the people also clasped their fists in agreement.
"I'm relieved to hear that." Bai Hecheng nodded with a smile.
After that, he instructed everyone to go to the accounting hall, where the details of the various tasks had already been announced.
Shen Luo also followed the crowd out of the hall.
"Master, are we really not going to tell them about the competition between the Du and Lin families for the title of the number one exorcist family?" Bai Jiangfeng asked after everyone had left.
"There's no need for that. If word of this gets out, I'm afraid these guest elders will have other thoughts. I've already secretly looked into it, and the Lin and Du Clan didn't tell anyone about this. "Bai Hecheng shook his head.
"That's true." After Bai Jiangfeng finished speaking, he waved his hand and a piece of white silk appeared in his palm.
The white silk was filled with small words written in red ink. It was the content of the Ghost Catcher Mission, but it was slightly different from what Bai Hecheng had said earlier. After the mission, there were no immortal jade or spiritual material rewards, only some numbers.
"The government is really calculating. They came up with the title of the number one exorcist family by completing the tasks on the Ghost Catcher List. The merit points accumulated will be used to calculate the results, and the three great families will fight to the death. However, the rewards for the number one exorcist family are really generous. Just the management rights of the three prosperous shops on Xuanwu Street and 30% of the transportation rights of the docks outside the city are enough for us to fight for, "Bai Jiangfeng said.
"The government has no choice. Recently, there has been a sudden outbreak of ghosts. If they suppress it in a short period of time, it will have a great impact on Jianye City," Bai Hecheng said in a low voice.
"But what's going on recently? Demons and devils are causing trouble everywhere. Is it true that the rumors are true? That a disaster is coming? "Bai Jiangfeng frowned.
"Let's deal with the matter at hand first," Bai Hecheng said noncommittally.
…
While Bai Hecheng and Bai Jiangfeng were talking, the guests of the Bai family had already gathered in the Bai family's accounting office.
In the accounting office's lobby, there was a wooden list that was about ten feet tall. The various tasks written on it were arranged one by one. The entries were clear, and all of them were incomplete.
Shen Luo stood at the back of the crowd. She stood on her tiptoes and looked over. She saw rows and rows of densely packed words on the board. They were all exorcism missions. The locations and reasons were all written very clearly.
There were various rewards at the end of the tasks. Apart from immortal jade, there were also some spiritual materials and other items.
"Ghosts are causing trouble around the South Gate. They are suspected to be water ghosts. They are good at diving and have great strength and thick skin. Killing them will be rewarded with two immortal jades."
"Liu Village in the east of the city is haunted. Five people have been injured. A number of livestock have been stolen. Their identity is unknown. Reward: one piece of fire-gold wood."
"A female ghost cries every night in Willow Forest Town in the south of the city. The villagers are terrified …"
Shen Luo's eyes couldn't help but light up. The rewards of the list tasks were really generous. There were two or three immortal jades, and there were even more than five immortal jades. It was equivalent to several months or even a year's salary. Although he didn't recognize most of the spiritual materials, they all looked extraordinary.
"There are really a lot of good things!" Bai Xiaoyun's face showed a trace of surprise.
When the guests saw the contents of the tasks, they also showed joy on their faces.
Although the guests of the Bai family could enjoy some cultivation resources, immortal jades were very rare. In addition to the normal supply, they could only obtain immortal jades if they performed meritorious deeds in the house. Overall, they lived a tight life. It was really rare to see so many high-reward tasks appearing at once.
Shen Luo looked for a while, then shook his head gently. He looked away and turned to leave.
It wasn't that he didn't want to carry out these tasks, but he knew his limits.
With his current cultivation, firstly, he might not be a match for those ghosts, and it would be rather dangerous for him. Secondly, even if he could defeat some ghosts, he would probably have to consume some talismans and other items. It might not be worth it for him to go back and forth.
Now that his nameless cultivation method was quite smooth, and he had made two fortunes, he was naturally not interested in immortal jades and those materials. This time, he just wanted to broaden his horizons.
"Why? Brother Shen is not interested in these tasks?" Bai Xiaoyun came over and asked.
"There are too many people in front. I'll take a look later." Shen Luo smiled and said casually.
"You want to take the risk to carry out an exorcism task with just a little kid like you? I'm afraid you'll become a ghost before you can exorcise the ghost? "At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from the side.
