Amused by Sun Deyi's aggrieved appearance, Song Ning sneered.

"Brother Sun, we are all newcomers who have just passed the selection of the branch, and this time we came to Liaohe to support, and we really don't have much experience.

During this time, I stayed in Xiadu, and I hope that Brother Sun can give me more advice. ”

Arched his hand towards Sun Deyi, in Xiang Yuan's opinion, Sun Deyi's temperament is bold, and it is not bad to stay in Xiadu for the time being.

"I am very happy that my two colleagues are willing to stay in Xiadu.

I don't dare to give advice, it's just that I've been working for a few years longer than you and have a little more experience. Xiang Yuan and Song Ning were willing to stay, but Sun De couldn't ask for it.

At this time, the entire Liaohe town guard yamen is in a state of shortage of manpower, including them.

No, just after dawn today, he received news that there were traces of suspected ghosts in Zhouzhai Village outside Xiadu City.

He didn't dare to delay, so he had to go in a hurry, and when he arrived at Zhouzhai Village, he saw that more than a dozen sheep had been skinned alive.

The traces left at the scene do indicate the existence of inhuman beings who committed this crime.

But now in the entire Xiadu, there are more than five yin ghost incidents to deal with, and they are really lacking in skills, and they can handle this side, but they can't prevent that side.

But now, with the addition of Xiang Yuan and the others, their shortage of manpower should be alleviated to a certain extent.

After visiting Sun Deyi, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning declined the town's invitation to stay for dinner.

Of course, this is also the premise of seeing the stewed pot in the kitchen next to the yard, cabbage and potatoes mixed with beef and mutton.

After making an appointment, after officially reporting for assistance tomorrow, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning left this town guard yamen, which was not at all like the town guard yamen, and returned to the inn.

"Huh, I really didn't expect the town guard yamen of the Demon Mansion to be like this, it's really beyond my imagination. ”

As soon as she returned to the room, Song Ning fell directly on the bed and sat in the town guard yamen for an afternoon, her back was stiff and a little sore.

Looking at Song Ning, who was lying on the bed without taking off his shoes, Xiang Yuan shook his head and sat at the tea table:

"Xiadu is the most marginal of the entire Liaohe region, but even here, there is already a situation where the town guards the yamen are overwhelmed.

I really don't know what the situation is now in Wancheng and Pengchang, which are at the core of the Liaohe River. ”

"Don't worry about it, we are all fledgling newcomers, didn't Lord Tian also say it when we came, let us do what we can?" turned over and got up from the bed, came to the tea table, Song Ning opened the teacup and poured a glass of white water.

"That being said, people are always a little curious. With his mouth sucked, Xiang Yuan dipped his fingers in the water in the cup in front of him and paddled on the table.

"When you were guarding the yamen today, did you find out?

This town guard seems to be a practitioner, but the way he walks is a little strange. ”

Thinking back to the scene when he saw Sun Deyi during the day, Xiang Yuan always felt that something was not right.

When Sun Deyi walks, he always touches the ground with his forefoot, which is very different from normal people.

Hearing Xiang Yuan say this, Song Ning also remembered:

Indeed, he spoke loudly, but he didn't feel harsh, which showed that he had a lot of breath, at least he was a second-rate master.

And he always walks with the forefoot on the ground, and his legs are very straight, and he doesn't feel it if he doesn't pay attention to it.

But if you look closely, it's strange. ”

"It seems that among the hidden soldiers, there are many people with miraculous skills, so we need to learn more. Smiling, Xiang Yuan turned around and walked towards the bed: "It's my turn to sleep in the bed today."

Lay it in the cupboard, and you can lay it yourself. ”

When they came out this time, they only had sixty taels of silver on them, and when they went down to the river, they went down to see a doctor, live in a hotel, buy clothes, and eat.

The miscellaneous ones have spent nearly twenty taels before they know it.

In order to save some silver, Song Ning simply let Xiang Yuan retreat to a room, and the two lived in one room, one bed, and one on the floor.

Anyway, they are all martial arts practitioners, and they are not afraid of any taboos.

Song Ning opened his mouth, and a girl's family didn't say anything, and Xiang Yuan naturally had no opinion, so the two slept in the same room.

Stretching his waist, he fell on the bed, pulled the futon over his body, and began to fall asleep.

Pouting his lips and looking at Xiang Yuan, who didn't know anything about pity and cherishing jade, Song Ning sighed briefly and didn't go to fight for bed with Xiang Yuan.

After all, during the time she was sick, Xiang Yuan had been taking care of her, and it was quite hard.

It was late at night, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning both fell asleep, and they slept exceptionally early tonight.

Because both of them know that from tomorrow, such a safe and secure sleeping environment may not be able to exist again.

......

Outside Xiadu City, on the soil slope of the forest farm in Huguang Village, Fan Guchun, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning were quietly crouching.

The starry sky overhead resembles a blue-black curtain, dotted with starlight.

And the frost-white silver moon did not hesitate to splash brilliance on the earth below him.

Lying on the dirt slope, I heard the rustle of the forest field not far away being blown by the night wind.

Raising his head slightly, he looked at the black hole, and could only vaguely see a forest field shaking the shadows of trees, Xiang Yuan lowered his voice and asked Fan Guchun beside him:

"Brother Fan, how long do we have to wait here? ”

"Wait, that thing has been entering Huguang Village every night through this dirt road in the forest farm for half a month.

It's just that the time is not fixed, and it's usually after midnight. Answering Xiang Yuan's question in a low voice, Fan Guchun's eyes did not leave the direction of the forest farm for a moment.

The long period of lying motionless made Xiang Yuan a little breathless.

Compared to this semi-latent state, Xiang Yuan prefers direct fighting, and this long wait is really a bit torturous.

Fortunately, the heavens seemed to hear Xiang Yuan's boring cry.

It didn't take long for a graceful figure with a swaying figure and an oil-paper umbrella in his hand to appear at the end of the dirt road in the forest farm.

"It's coming!"

With Fan Guchun's whispered reminder, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning immediately cheered up.

Shifted his gaze to the strange figure for a moment.

The graceful figure with an oil-paper umbrella walked very slowly, and in the silent and cold wind of the night, she was still humming an inexplicable tune while walking.

made the already infiltrating atmosphere even more chilling.

The thick black leather is a bright red skirt veil, and the lotus step is gently moved, and the round and white calves are naturally exposed.

The woman's oil-paper umbrella was opened very low, covering its own face tightly, making Xiang Yuan's heart curious.

Watching the woman walk through the path of the forest farm and gradually walk into the range of Huguang Village, Fan Guchun said in a low voice: "Let's go." ”

Slowing down their movements as much as possible, the three of them got up and made almost no sound except for the slight sound of their clothes touching the ground.

"Brother Fan, what is the origin of this yin ghost. Following Fan Guchun to Huguang Village, Xiang Yuan asked softly.

Climbing over a wall made of red bricks and entering Huguang Village, Fan Guchun explained: "This yin ghost appeared in Huguang Village two months ago.

Twenty days ago, we received a request for help from the local government, and we arrived. ”

"This thing appeared two months ago, why did you notify the town guard yamen twenty days ago?" Hearing the time in Fan Guchun's words, Song Ning was puzzled.

"The villagers are ignorant, this yin ghost has a good skin.

At midnight, he came to this Huguang Village, looking for men to be happy and absorb their essence.

And the people who were harmed by this yin ghost didn't feel sick at first, until a month ago, a succession of people were sucked out of their essence and died violently at home.

This caused panic among the villagers, who reported it to the government, and then relayed the news to us. Fan Guchun said.

Hearing this reason, Song Ning sneered: "Lust is sinky! ”

While observing the surrounding situation, he handed a fish bubble filled with liquid to Xiang Yuan and Song Ning, and Fan Guchun explained: "This Yin Ghost's combat power is not high, and it can't even reach Ding Xia.

It was filled with green oil, and the flames were enough to burn the yin ghost to death.

Later, if you encounter that yin ghost, you find the opportunity to smash oil on it, and then we can extinguish this yin ghost with just a little fire. ”

Rubbing the fish bubble that was still a little greasy on the surface of his hand, Xiang Yuan nodded.

Instead of fighting head-on, but through various means, weakening, pinching, and burning the Yin Ghost to complete the task of annihilation, this is the normal combat procedure of the hidden soldiers that Xiang Yuan only learned after he came to Xiadu Town to guard the yamen.

As for why not just demonize it and kill the Yin Ghost neatly.

The reason is also very simple, first of all, the hidden soldiers guarding the yamen in various places, except for special circumstances, can only apply for the demon blood nail once every three months.

In other words, if demonization is used, it means that the hidden soldier will have to wait at least three months before he can claim the second Demon Blood Spike.

And the reason why the Demon Mansion wants to make such a rule is unreasonable.

In fact, it is to prevent the hidden soldiers from wantonly using demonized powers.

After all, if the use of demonization by the Hidden Soldiers is not restricted.

First, it will increase the manufacturing pressure on the Demon Mansion itself.

In Bazhong County alone, there are about two or three hundred hidden soldiers, and if it is really used without restrictions, it will be a huge expenditure of resources.

Second, if the hidden soldiers wantonly demonize, there will be no fewer witnesses, and the secrecy of the entire Demon Mansion will be like a joke, which is contrary to the norms of the existence of the Demon Mansion.

Therefore, under this kind of rule, when the hidden soldiers in various places encounter Yin ghosts that are not particularly tricky, they generally do not use demonization to fight directly with the Yin ghosts.

Instead, they use a variety of restrained tools to accomplish the purpose of the mission, as they do now.

Filling the green oil with a small bag, Xiang Yuan and the three of them risked their waists and walked into the village road of Huguang Village.
