"One hundred and twenty miles from the East Desert, there is a village called Wenjiagou, the people of this village died collectively, two days ago I sent someone to collect taxes, and yesterday the person came back and told me that the people of that village died collectively. Moreover, according to passers-by, there are ghosts in the village, and several waves of passing caravans have fallen in. ”

"This is the fifth village that has disappeared in the second half of the year, there is no Demon Division in Fenglin Town, I am responsible for many things, and I can't move the previous Patrol Division, if I let it develop, I'm afraid that something unpredictable will happen."

In fact, this kind of thing, the county commander doesn't want to take care of it, after all, it is not his scope of responsibility, but Fenglin Town has lacked a town demon division for a long time, so this matter can only fall on him, plus in a few days, the town demon division and patrol department of the state capital will come down, and he is afraid that there will be any accidents during this period.

As soon as Ji Chen heard this, he understood the meaning of the county order. The previous patrol division could not be adjusted, but now that the patrol division has been destroyed, the entire Fenglin Town has its own cultivation at the highest level.

"Your Excellency means that you want me to help you walk."

The county commander nodded, "When the Yin Ghost class, once it appears, it must be cleaned up immediately, otherwise they will be like grass crossing the river, and they will soon be able to cover the entire river surface, causing the fish and shrimp creatures in the river to suffocate to death." ”

"Of course, I won't let you run in vain, I got a piece of Xingchen Steel in the early years, which is the best material for forging flying swords, and the same goes for forging knives, you go and help me deal with this trip, this piece of Xingchen Steel is the reward."

The county magistrate opened a box on the table, and inside the box lay a piece of blue iron, half the size of a fist.

Now that Ji Chen is no longer a novice in cultivation, Mr. Fang has a lot of books on the basics of the cultivation world, and he has read a lot. So know the value of this piece of star steel. The county order is considered a bloody investment.

"It's too precious!" Ji Chen said.

In fact, the county order is not to pay him to run, and he will go. After all, during this time, the county order helped him a lot, no matter what the purpose of the county order was, it was to tie up Mr. Fang, or he took a fancy to his future potential, but it is an indisputable fact that he helped himself.

The county magistrate said: "For useful people, it is very valuable, but for me, he is a lump of iron." Back then, I also fantasized about stepping into the cultivation world, and I had a sword to cold the nineteen states, but my qualifications were not good, so I had no choice but to give up, and finally chose to study, so this piece of iron lump is useless to me, so it is better to give it to someone useful. ”

After speaking, the county order closed the box and handed it to Ji Chen.

The county order has reached this point, and Ji Chen can't shirk it, so he put away the box.

"When to go?" He asked.

"It's better to be sooner rather than later, the matter of ghosts and ghosts must be dealt with as soon as possible, and changes will occur later."

Ji Chen nodded, "I'll go back and clean up, and we'll go." ”

Ji Chen returned to the private school, cleaned up a little and went out. Actually, I didn't have anything to pack up, so I changed my clothes and brought some dry food.

The incense ash was also brought, this thing could even be restrained by a third-level demon, although this thing was no longer needed for Ji Chen, but after all, it was brought back by Mr. Fang.

In case of indecision, sprinkle a handful of incense ash first, which can save a little physical strength.

didn't bring toiletries, since he practiced the Qi Eating Method, Ji Chen cleaned his mouth directly with the fire of the sun to calcinate and sterilize. After each calcination, the whole mouth is very fresh and does not breed any bacteria and odors.

The county order found Ji Chen a border wilderness horse to walk, the border wilderness horse is extremely cold-resistant, and it is the most suitable means of transportation for the border wilderness.

Ji Chen didn't refuse, being able to ride a horse is naturally much more comfortable than walking.

In the barren land, sparsely populated, occasionally one or two caravans passing by, seeing Ji Chen carrying a sword and an extraordinary bearing, he did not take the initiative to provoke him.

While riding, Ji Chen was thinking about the matter of Wenjiagou, in this barren place, every village is basically the same surname, the same clan and the same clan. Just like Jijia Village, all surnamed Ji.

In general, there are temples or sacrificial shrines in the villages, which are dedicated to suppressing evil spirits. Some are building land temples, some are building mountain temples, due to long-term incense worship, these mountain gods or land will breed thoughts and beliefs, bless a village, and generally little ghosts dare not enter the village.

And all the evil cults that can enter the village have great ability.

Passing by a village entrance, Ji Chen found that there was tea food at the entrance of the village, several earthen walls and grass houses covering a wide area, a mast stood outside, and a flag on the mast was hunting in the cold wind.

This is a place to rest in the wilderness, providing food or a place to stay overnight for some demon slayers or foot merchants in the border wilderness.

Ji Chen dismounted and entered the store.

Inside, there were some demon slayers or foot merchants.

It is a main road, and there are many foot merchants who go to the wasteland to do business with the Snow Clan, and there are also many demon slayers who go to the wasteland to venture out.

Ji Chen decided to rest for a while, and by the way, to see if there was any news about Wenjiagou.

This kind of wild shop, ushered in and delivered, is often the most able to hear the news.

In the tea shop, someone is discussing the news about Wenjiagou.

"Is this Wen Jiagou so evil? Several waves of people have already entered, and they are all folded inside. ”

"I heard that this Wenjiagou died as early as a month ago on the night, and the whole village died collectively, not even the domestic animals were spared, and all the people and domestic animals became dried corpses, as if they had been sucked dry by something. This incident shook the surrounding villages, and it was nothing. But just a few days ago, the village was lit up every night, and some people suspected that Wenjiagou had turned into a dark place. ”

Ji Chen listened to it for a while, and probably understood what was going on, and also understood why the county order wanted to add him to investigate.

Once Wenjiagou really becomes a yin land, it will be very troublesome. Many people who go to the Yin will use the Yin Land to go to the Yin, and even many evil cultivators will use the Yin Land to refine the Yin soldiers. If left unattended for a long time, a large number of yin and evil will breed wildly through the yin land. It won't be long before there will be more and more evil in the border wasteland, and it will become bigger and bigger, even affecting the entire border wasteland and Fenglin Town.

Ji Chen ate a little something, continued to set off, and hurried towards Wenjiagou.

Fortunately, the tea shop is not far from Wenjiagou.

As the sun sets, night gradually falls, and some evil things gradually come out of the darkness and begin to move.

For example, the willows in the gutter, the yellow skin on the hillside, staring at Ji Chen's distant figure, with a ghostly light in his eyes.

In the darkness in the distance, there was a little fire.

The closer you get to the firelight, the quieter the night becomes, without a trace of insects and birds, and there is a hint of chill in the air.

Ji Chen knew that Wenjiagou was coming.
