Late at night, Wei Chiran didn't go anywhere, didn't go to Anfu, didn't go to the county office, and didn't stay in the Prison Temple, but led Zhan Tianya and himself to visit the night market, because the market in Tiejiao County is available all day, and it doesn't close at night, which is very lively.

However, Wei Chiran wanted to talk to Zhan Tianya alone, but what he enjoyed more was the respectful appearance of Zhan Wangba following behind him.

The two of them found a tavern to sit down, and Zhan Tianya also wondered, why did this little prince call me? At this moment, Wei Chi, who was looking outside, asked, "Lord Zhan." ”

"Don't dare, just call me Zhan Tianya," Zhan Tianya immediately got up and said, Wei Chi raised his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

Wei Chiran said, "Do you think there are still sand demons in the Iron Prison County?" ”

Zhan Tianya didn't know why Wei Chiran wanted to ask this, he originally wanted to say no, but when he thought of what Tang Qianlin had done, he had to shake his head and say, "I don't know." ”

Zhan Tianya felt even more strange that Wei Chiran wanted to make that incident public, now he, Tang Anshu, An Wanghai and Hu Shuntang all knew that the secret passage of the county guard led to the sand demon's residence, and also knew that the county guard had sent Tang Qianlin to kill the sand demon, and also knew that Tang Qianlin had killed an innocent child with his own hands, was this testing everyone?

Wei Chiran looked at Zhan Tianya: "I really want to see with my own eyes what the sand demon is like, Lord Zhan, have you seen it?" ”

Zhan Tianya hesitated, and his hesitation meant that there must be something wrong with it, so Wei Chiran kept staring at Zhan Tianya.

Zhan Tianya said: "Little prince, I want to know, what do you think of the sand demon?" ”

Wei Chiran said: "I don't even know what a sand demon is, so I don't have any opinion, you can't ask me what I think about something I haven't seen before, right?" What about you, what do you think? ”

Zhan Tianya smiled awkwardly: "It's not a secret, the villain was once rescued by the sand demon." ”

"Oh?" Wei Chi became interested, "When did it happen?" ”

Zhan Tianya said: "Back then, I was also a heretic who came to Tiejiao County to live together, I was originally a coffin opener, and I didn't mix well in the pass, and the xenopathy in the pass was extremely miserable, because the court did not allow the use of strange arts in the pass, and it was a capital crime to find out, so I could only come to the secret door outside the gate, but we were the coffin openers, where is there a coffin outside the gate?" Therefore, we can only get rid of the sand demon to earn a bounty, and the thing we do is similar to hunting, except that we don't chase people, only get rid of demons. ”

At that time, Zhan Tianya had a lot of skills, but he had nowhere to show it, wandering around the desert all day long, trying to find the sand demon, but he couldn't find it at all, even if he was waiting in ambush at the place where the caravan passed, he returned empty-handed.

However, Zhan Tianya had hunted the sand demon once, but that time was completely accidental.

Wei Chi Chi asked, "What does it mean to be purely accidental?" ”

Zhan Tianya recalled: "At that time, I was in a small post station to get water, there was a waterhole, at this time a woman came, also there to drink water, but the woman's feet slipped and fell into the pool, and then screamed, I was going to save people, only to find that she had become a sand ball, at this time I realized that she was a sand demon, and quickly scooped up the sand ball, wrapped it, and brought it back to receive the reward." ”

At that time, the price of killing a sand demon was ten silver dollars, which was considered a good deal, so many people did it. After Zhan Tianya took ten silver dollars, he had a full meal, but he felt strange, he was defenseless at that time, why didn't the sand demon sneak attack from behind? Besides, the sand demon was originally afraid of water, so why should he go near the waterhole?

Wei Chiran asked, "What does the sand demon look like?" ”

Zhan Tianya said: "It's the same as people, there is no difference, if I didn't know in advance, I wouldn't have known that there was such a monster." ”

That was the first time Zhan Tianya had seen the sand demon, and he didn't feel the evil aura on the sand demon. All heretics have a skill, that is, they can feel the breath of demons and monsters, but the sand demons do not, on the contrary, they give people a very close feeling.

The second time he saw the sand demon, it was Zhan Tianya who ventured deep into the desert, because he really couldn't find the sand demon, so he could only venture into the depths, even if he didn't go, he would have to starve to death sooner or later.

Zhan Tianya walked in the desert for five days, drank all the water and ate all the dry food, and finally collapsed due to exhaustion, originally he thought he was dead, but he was rescued in a blur, the man put him on a camel, and then carried him to an oasis, fed him water, and gave him dry food.

Zhan Tianya woke up and hurriedly thanked him, but the man said bluntly: "Don't thank me, I didn't want to save you." ”

Zhan Tianya wondered: "Why? ”

The man said: "I am a demon, you are a human, I save you, you will kill me." ”

Zhan Tianya was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously touched the weapon, and the man smiled: "Look at it." ”

Hearing this, Zhan Tianya put down his hand and just said, "You go." ”

But the man said, "If I go, you will die, even if you bring water, you will not be able to walk back to Iron Prison County from here, unless I help you, but once I help you, you will kill me and go back to receive the reward." ”

Zhan Tianya knew that what the sand demon said was the truth, he fell into a contradiction, if he didn't get out of danger, he would have to die here, but after he got out of danger, he couldn't live if he didn't catch the sand demon, so what should he do?

At this moment, the sand demon asked him, "Why are you hunting us?" ”

Zhan Tianya said bluntly: "Because you hurt people. ”

The sand demon asked again: "Why don't I harm you, but also save you?" ”

Zhan Tianya was speechless, yes, why?

The sand demon asked again, "We killed, and you saw it with your own eyes?" ”

Zhan Tianya shook his head slightly.

The sand demon said again, "Are there any bad people among you humans? ”

Zhan Tianya said: "Of course." ”

The sand demon nodded: "Then there are bad demons among our sand demons, but not every sand demon is harmful." There are people who have demons, and no one will not have monsters, and if you want to completely eradicate monsters, unless everyone is dead. ”

Zhan Tianya fell into deep thought, what the sand demon said was indeed true, but, but he didn't have a choice, it was because of the sand demon that it became so depressed, if it weren't for the sand demon, this trade route would have been unimpeded a long time ago. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have issued an order to let the heretics not be blamed for what they had done in the past after they got out of the secret door.

Hearing this, Wei Chi Ran asked, "So, that time, you didn't kill that sand demon?" ”

Zhan Tianya said: "Yes, in fact, I didn't know at the time that I couldn't kill the sand demon with ordinary weapons, I'm ridiculous, right?" ”

Wei Chi asked, "And then?" ”

Zhan Tianya said: "Coincidentally, after I got out of danger with the help of the sand demon, I met the county guard who came to survey the terrain outside the city, and the county guard said that I had a fate with him, so I made a quick catch, and then I climbed up step by step, and finally became the head of the prison temple, so the lord has the grace of knowing me." ”

"What a coincidence," Wei Chiran sighed, "It's really a coincidence, but what I don't understand is that at that time, you didn't know that ordinary weapons couldn't hurt the sand demon, and you dared to do this kind of business, I really don't know if it was reckless or stupid." ”

Zhan Tianya said: "Yes, both reckless and stupid, so there were many, many people who disappeared at that time, and many people died in the desert." ”

yes, why don't you even understand how to get rid of the sand demons, and these people keep going?

Wei Chiran asked again: "Didn't the government explain how to get rid of demons?" ”

Zhan Tianya said with a smile: "If the government knows how to get rid of demons, why are you looking for us to come to a different way?" ”

Wei Chiran just smiled, he almost wanted to know, as he expected, Zhan Tianya had absolutely no suspicion.

At the end of his fourth day in Iron Prison County, Lieutenant Chi Ran ruled out the first suspect.

In the early morning of the fifth day, Wei Chiran went directly to the Arrest Division, he needed to talk to Tang Qianlin, but was told that Tang Qianlin was out of the city, and his task today was to catch a group of bandits who often ambushed caravans. After asking for a general location, Wei Chiran rode his horse alone, and after bringing enough water, he ran towards Tang Qianlin's location.

When he arrived at the area where bandits might haunt Shangdao, it was already noon, and Wei Chiran only had a vast desert in front of him, and when he looked around, he only saw a person stumbling up the hill, and then fell down, and then Tang Qianlin chased after him with a phoenix spear, and directly threw a spear to pierce the person.

The man fell in front of Wei Chiran's horse, Tang Qianlin watched Wei Chiran slowly step forward, pulled out his spear, hugged his fists and said, "Little Wang, why are you here?" ”

Wei Chiran looked into the distance: "Come to you." ”

"Looking for me?" After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, he looked around, "Is it still for the case of Lord County Guard?" ”

Wei Chi nodded.

Tang Qianlin said: "Then you wait for me." ”

Tang Qianlin climbed over the hill with a gun, and Wei Chiran also slapped his horse and went up, only to see more than a dozen bandit corpses lying on the other side of the hill, there is no doubt that these bandits were all killed by Tang Qianlin, it seems that Tang Qianlin is very lucky today.

Tang Qianlin searched through the corpses of those bandits one by one, found all the useful things on their bodies, and then cut off their ears and carefully packed them, these are all vouchers to go back and receive rewards.

After everything was in order, Tang Qianlin came to Wei Chiran's horse: "Little prince, we can go back." ”

Wei Chiran looked at the corpses of those bandits and asked, "How long have you been in ambush here?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "From the third watch to just now, it has been several hours, and I don't remember it." ”

Wei Chiran asked again: "Is there any difference between killing people and killing demons?" ”

Tang Qianlin was stunned for a moment when he asked this sentence, and he hesitated and said, "What does the little prince mean by asking this?" Are you here for that kid? ”

"No," Wei Chiran finally looked at Tang Qianlin, "I'm just asking." ”

Tang Qianlin finally answered the question: "Removing the sand demon requires water or water spirit talismans, but killing people does not need it, this difference is this. ”

Wei Chiran asked: "I'm asking about feelings, what's the difference in feelings?" ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "No, it's the same, because sand demons look the same as people, only the moment they die, you will clearly know that they are demon ......" Speaking of this, Tang Qianlin seemed to remember something again, and his face became ugly.

This was also discovered by Wei Chi Ran, who asked, "What's wrong with you?" Why is the face suddenly so ugly? ”

Tang Qianlin immediately shook his head: "No, it's nothing, I'm just thirsty." ”
