The magistrate of Ningcheng is named Fang Yong, a middle-aged man with a clear face and a few strands of beard on his chin, who has been serving in Ningcheng for 12 years and is deeply loved by the people.

"My lord, this is Gu Shen Gu who came from the Tiandu Jingtian Division." Wu Qian said respectfully at Fang Yong.

When Fang Yong heard this, he looked at Gu Shen's young appearance, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly walked closer, gave a salute, and said, "Fang Yong, the county magistrate of Ningcheng, has seen Lord Gu Shengu. ”

The magistrate of Ningcheng is a seventh-rank official, and Gu Shen is a first-order patrol envoy of the Jingtian Division, although he does not have a specific official rank, but in real terms, he is still half a level higher than the seventh-rank official of Great Xia.

"Lord Fang doesn't need to be so polite." Seeing this, Gu Shen helped Fang Yong up.

Afterwards, the two sat down, and Fang Yong personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Shen and asked, "When did Lord Gu come to Ningcheng?" ”

Gu Shen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Yesterday, after I received the news, I set off directly from Tiandu, and I arrived in Ningcheng this morning. ”

"Does Master Gu have a place to stay? If you don't dislike it, there are still a lot of empty rooms in the county government of Ningcheng. Fang Yong said with a smile on his face.

"No need, thank you Lord Fang for your kindness." Gu Shen refused, and then said: "Lord Fang can call me by my name directly or Gu Patrol, you don't need to call me Lord Gu, this seems too raw." ”

"Yes, yes, what Patrol Gu said is yes." Fang Yong nodded, with a smile on his face, and said enthusiastically: "Patrol Gu has just arrived in Ningcheng, and he hasn't had time to eat yet, so I'll let Wu Qian go buy some food." ”

As he spoke, he prepared to greet Wu Gan, who was standing respectfully on the side.

"No need, Lord Fang, I have already tasted Ningcheng's snacks before I came, these little things can be put aside, now let's discuss the business first." Gu Shen stopped Fang Yong.

"Okay, good, of course it's okay, it's just that I didn't think it through." Fang Yong patted his forehead, and then said to Wu Gan: "Wu Zhutou, you can explain the specific situation in detail for Gu Xunshou." ”

"Yes!"

Wu Qian nodded and introduced the whole thing to Gu Shen.

It turned out that a few days ago, someone reported to the county government that all the villagers in Liujia Village, 50 miles away, had suddenly disappeared overnight.

And the person who reported the case was a villager from Liujia Village, because he went to the city to do business, so he stayed in Ningcheng for one night, and when he went back, the whole village was gone, not even the livestock.

This strange situation frightened the villager, so he quickly ran back to Ningcheng to report the crime.

After learning of this, Fang Yong immediately sent Wu Gan to the scene to check it, searched inside and out several times, and found no useful clues except for the slightly strong yin and evil aura in the village.

Therefore, Wu Qian could only return to Ningcheng with his subordinates first, and reported the situation to Fang Yong, and after discussing with the two, they were worried that they would delay for too long and fear changes, so they decided to report the matter immediately and let Tiandu Jingtiansi send someone to deal with it.

After listening to Wu Gan's description, Fang Yong looked at Gu Shen and said, "I don't know what Patrol Gu has to say?" ”

Gu Shen pondered for a moment and said, "I can't talk about it, I may have to go to the scene to see it first." ”

Gu Shen, who had fused the memories of the original owner, knew that the reason why these ghosts were tricky was because of their unpredictable methods.

In the memory of the original owner, there were several times when the original owner's strength was obviously superior to those demons, but he still almost fell in front of them, and it was for this reason.

Therefore, if he wants to deal with these demons and monsters, it is useless to just listen to Wu Gan, he must go to the scene to take a look before he can draw conclusions.

"Okay, then I'll immediately ask Wu Qian to take Gu Patrol to the scene to check it out."

Fang Yong said, then he turned his head and gave an order to Wu Gan, saying: "Wu Gan, this official orders you to immediately gather people now, and take Gu Patrol to Liujia Village as quickly as possible, you should focus on Gu Patrol Guard in the whole process, and you must not neglect Gu Patrol Shou's order in the slightest, if there is any problem, this official is the only one who asks, do you know?" ”

"Yes!"

Wu Qian lowered his head and clenched his fists, and then, he said to Gu Shen: "Gu Patrol, please come with me." ”

"Lord Gu, this matter is entrusted to you, this official has thanked all the people of Ningcheng here in advance, and I am waiting for you to return smoothly in Ningcheng!" Fang Yong stood up, his face was serious, and he saluted Gu Shen.

"Don't worry, Lord Fang, this is what I should do." Gu Shen said with a straight face, and returned the salute with a fist.

Subsequently, he and Wu Gan left the inner hall together, and on the way, Gu Shen asked Wu Gan: "Wu Zhutou, Lord Fang is also a martial artist?" ”

When Wu Qian heard this, he was stunned at first, not knowing why Gu Shen had this question, but he still replied: "Lord Fang seems to have had a period of experience in martial arts before becoming an official, but it is not long, and over the years, Lord Fang has not given me the feeling of being a martial artist, even if it is, it should not exceed the Forging Body Realm." ”

Gu Shen nodded, didn't ask any more, when the two came to the outer hall, Wu Gan began to roll call, and those who were named by him came out of the queue one after another and stood behind him.

"Let's go!"

With Wu Gan's order, Gu Shen followed them all the way out of the city and came to Liujia Village, which was fifty miles away from Ningcheng.

When he approached Liujia Village, Gu Shen suddenly felt a wave of discomfort.

A faint feeling of coldness appeared through his skin, trying to penetrate his body through his pores.

This feeling is the same as the feeling Gu Shen felt when he held the soul crystal in his hand, this is the breath that belongs to the demons and evils, they are yin to the evil, they are completely opposite to the existence of living beings, and every demon is like this.

Judging from the experience of the original owner, Gu Shen concluded that the demon must have stayed in Liujia Village for a long time, otherwise there would not be such a strong breath left.

Gu Shen frowned, and the thick internal breath in his body worked slightly, and he completely cleared the cold feeling that had invaded his body.

"Gu Patrol, we're here." At this time, Wu Qian said to Gu Shen.

Gu Shen nodded, he found that when he really stepped into the scope of Liujia Village, the feeling of coldness became much stronger than before.

That is to say, Gu Shen and his party are all martial artists, even the weakest ones have the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Forging Body Realm, so they can still be safe and sound in a short period of time.

If ordinary people come here, not to mention much, it only takes more than half an hour, and it is very likely that they will be seriously ill, more serious, or slightly weaker, and even die on the spot.

This is the harm that demons do to ordinary people.

Moreover, the strength of the residual yin and evil qi in this place is not like something that can be brought by casual weirdness, and it is no wonder that Wu Qian chose to report to Jing Tiansi.

Gu Shen was dressed in a dark robe, wearing a long sword at his waist, and took the lead in walking towards the village, along the way, the entire Liujia Village was very quiet, and it could even be said that the silence made people a little scared, there was no sound at all, and not a single living thing could be seen.

The most strange thing is that everything in the village is in perfect condition, without any traces of passivity, and it is extremely neat.

This gives the impression that all the villagers have disappeared out of thin air at the same time.

"How can it be so quiet, not even a single bird?" Feeling this unusual quietness, Gu Shen frowned slightly.

Beside him, some of the catchers seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere here, they rubbed their hands, and some even touched the back of their necks, feeling as if a cool breeze was blowing.

"Gu Xunshou, what did you find?" Wu Qian asked, the last time he first came, he was like Gu Shen, and while he looked puzzled, he couldn't find the slightest clue.

Moreover, because of the long stay here, the entire village was searched on the third and outer three floors, resulting in several weaker subordinates contracting serious illnesses after returning home, and they have not recovered until now.

It is precisely because of this that the catchers he brings today are the strongest ones.

Gu Shen didn't speak, he was searching from house to house.

Seeing this, Wu Qian just sighed, didn't say anything more, and quietly followed behind Gu Shen.

After all, when Fang Yong came, he said that everything was based on Gu Shen, not to mention, he was just a catcher in Ningcheng, and Gu Shen was the patrol envoy of the Tiandu Jingtian Division, so he was not qualified to say anything more in front of Gu Shen.

As time passed, more and more catchers felt uncomfortable, and there was a burst of cold aura drilling into their bodies, they wanted to leave, but Gu Shen didn't speak, and Wu Qian didn't give orders, so naturally they couldn't do anything.

On the other side, Wu Qian saw that some of his subordinates seemed to be unable to bear it, so he was ready to speak again to persuade Gu Shen.

But at this time, he saw Gu Shen's expression suddenly change, and then, he saw Gu Shen's body shake, and the soles of his feet stomped on the ground, Wu Gan, who was standing beside Gu Shen, only felt a strong wind blowing in his face, and his whole person was almost unstable.

Just when he didn't know why, something that shocked everyone happened, and the world in front of them was like a mirror smashed to the ground, and countless black cracks appeared, and they continued to spread around.

This terrifying sight shocked everyone.

Then, the next moment, with a loud click, the entire world in front of them exploded.

It wasn't until this moment that the real scene appeared before their eyes.
