Chang Xiao saw Li Chuan's sad face, so he comforted him and said: "Mr. will be a god in the future, why bother about these mundane things?" My father said that no matter who sits in that position, the supervisor of Qin Tianjian is still the palace supervisor, even if the dynasty changes, it is the same. ”

Li Chuan smiled helplessly.

He really doesn't care much about who is the emperor, he is a small people, he just wants to stop there from evil disasters, even if it can't be completely avoided, he hopes that at least the court is in charge and wants to take care of these things.

Thinking about it, he sighed and said, "Do you remember Tong Luo? ”

Chang Xiao said: "Brother Tong, of course I remember. ”

Li Chuan said: "Brother Tong, he was not originally from Yunqiao Township, he and Zhuo Erniang are both from Qingfu Village, a village close to Xuanshui Mountain. After the demon disaster in Xuanshui Mountain, there were only the two of them left in the entire village. ”

He told Chang Xiao what happened at that time.

Chang Xiao knew that Tong Luo came to Yunqiao Township from somewhere else, but he didn't know the inside story.

After listening to Li Chuan, he said: "No wonder Brother Tong often patrols around, and when he hears that there are monsters making trouble, he has to rush over." ”

"I have heard about the demon disaster in Xuanshui Mountain before. But by then, I was already getting sick, so I didn't know much."

Li Chuan said: "At that time, the Black Horn King of Xuanshui Mountain was already dead, and it was said that it was a demon disaster, but in fact they were just some little demons passing by. ”

"If the big demon deliberately targets the surrounding villages and cities, I'm afraid it will ...... At least half of the counties will suffer. ”

Chang Xiao said: "I heard my father talk about the demon suppression before. ”

Li Chuan remembered that in the years after the empress succeeded to the throne, she did launch many great demon suppressions, twenty or thirty years ago, there were also a few times, and then "The Great Demon Collection" has not changed much.

At that time, Chang Xiao's father was already a general.

Chang Xiao said: "At that time, there were not so many people in Qin Tianjian, and there was no demon hunting division, only the palace eunuch was with his eldest apprentice, and there were some masters raised by the imperial court. ”

"So at that time, it was led by the Ministry of War, and the Yunshan Army at that time was the main force to suppress demons. There are other masters in the palace eunuch, who are only responsible for containing the big demon. ”

"Later, there were Taoist monks, folk demon hunters, and some monks who traveled down the mountain, and they were organized by the palace supervisors, and they were the original demon hunting division."

"Since then, the Qin Heavenly Prison has slowly grown, and since about thirty years ago, all affairs involving demons and monsters have been managed by the Qin Heavenly Prison, and gradually, the people of the Demon Hunting Division have also been stationed in various places to be responsible for these local affairs."

Chang Xiao paused and said, "I also heard that the methods commonly used by folk demon hunters now are actually passed down from the Demon Hunting Division. There is also a saying that behind the folk demon hunter is Qin Tianjian. ”

"Really?" Li Chuan was curious.

Chang Xiao said: "Because the people in the Demon Hunting Division are rotated very diligently, about two or three years, there will be a wave of people, and the previous ones are said to have gone to be demon hunters." ”

"In the Demon Hunting Division, there aren't many people stationed there, right?" Li Chuan didn't believe it.

Chang Xiao said: "It's not much, but it's been like this for ten years, thirty or fifty years, and there are still people who go out, and they will also accept apprentices or something." Therefore, Qin Tianjian didn't see many people, but once something happened, he could gather a lot of people who knew some spells. plus other monks, Taoist monks, demon hunters, and Xuanmen monks who volunteered to help, maybe there could be more than 100,000. ”

"Later, the palace supervisor accepted three more apprentices and trained many capable officials."

"And the big demon ...... My father said that although the strength of the big demon is strong, it is difficult for ordinary people to match, but on a mountain, there is only one big demon and a few demon generals. Although there are a large number of other little demons, they look at the black and beautiful, but as long as the battle is fruitless for a long time, and a few companions die around them, they will gradually collapse. At that time, even ordinary soldiers, a few together, could hunt them down. ”

Chang Xiao laughed at herself and said: "So this time, I'm here to rub off on military merits." ”

Li Chuan was not so optimistic, and said: "I don't know about other big demons, but the Black Horn King of Xuanshui Mountain knows how to train soldiers." ”

"Really?" Chang Xiao didn't believe it.

Li Chuan told Xuanshui Mountain's system and Chang Xiao again, and then said: "And the Black Horn King attaches great importance to cultivating monsters that can transform into human forms, and he even raised a white-faced scholar as a strategist, although I can't listen to the scholar's strategy." ”

"And ......" Li Chuan suddenly thought of the demon soldiers and demons of Xuanshui Mountain, and he said: "The elite of Xuanshui Mountain, after the death of the Black Horn King, it seems that most of them went to the Suliu River. After the death of the Spirit Fish King, I don't know where they went. If it's a demon. I guess I'll meet them. ”

"When the Xuanshui Mountain Demon Disaster occurred, they weren't there?" Chang Xiao asked.

"Most of them aren't there." Li Chuan said: "The former master of the Black Horn King is the golden halberd general of the previous dynasty, he understands this, it is normal. But...... The Lingyu Demon was also a fairy in the sky, and among the other big demons, there may be many demons with background and culture. ”

"Yes," Chang Xiao listened, but his eyes became firm, and he said: "But no matter what their background, as long as Your Majesty orders the suppression of demons, then the next "Great Demon Collection" will definitely be half thinner." ”

Li Chuan said: "Okay, when the time comes, I will definitely go, although I can't beat a demon, but the sound of the Tianyin pot will always be there." ”

Li Chuan chatted with Chang Xiao for an afternoon, but it wasn't enough to be fun, so Li Chuan said: "Let's go back to Sanyi Hutong first, Wen Daochang may have already gone back, he saw you coming, maybe he found another pot of good wine, let's let the kitchen fry a few more dishes, and chat while eating?" ”

"Okay." Chang Xiao immediately agreed.

After the two of them left Qin Tianjian and returned to Jin Rong's house, the steward said to Li Chuan: "Dr. Li, a person who claims to be your fellow villager has come to look for you, looking like an official, and I ask him to rest in the back hall first. ”

Fellow?

Li Chuan was a little dazed, and he asked, "Is Daochang Wen back?" ”

"Returned." The steward said.

Li Chuan said: "Please take Chang Gongzi to Wen Daochang, and I will go backstage to have a look." ”

Then he went to the back hall, and as soon as he got closer, he saw a man sitting in the back hall, stood up, walked up to him, and said, "Ah, Dr. Lee, you are back." ”

Li Chuan recognized that person, it was Xiang Yuan's brother, Zhang Xintong, who was an official in the Ministry of Officials.

Without waiting for Li Chuan to speak, Zhang Xintong held Li Chuan's hand with both hands and said, "Dr. Li, you must help me." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, what do you say first, let's go in and sit down and talk slowly." Li Chuan said.

Zhang Xintong said: "I know that you have refused all the people who invited you to the town, but I ...... I've asked several masters to look at it, but they can't help it. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Li Chuan asked.

Zhang Xintong said: "It's been half a year old, and strange things have been happening in my house, first the cook suddenly became very unpalatable, and then the gardener watered all the flowers and plants in the garden...... I've already changed two batches of subordinates, and they were all fine at first, but then they all became weird, and I was afraid that bad remarks would get out, so I didn't change them again. But...... But since last month, my youngest daughter has also been infected with this strange disease, and suddenly no one in the family recognizes her. ”
