Those fires should have been bonfires lit by demon slayers or wilderness cultivators.

But wherever there is a gathering of yin and evil, there must be demon slayers or scattered cultivators, and there are even evil cults lurking in the dark.

Ji Chen soon approached the fire, he felt that there was a faint yin and evil aura between heaven and earth, and the further he went, the stronger the aura became.

Around the fire, there were more than thirty people sitting there, each of them emitting a faint light, probably resisting these evil spirits. The light is so faint that you can't see it at all if you don't look closely.

It was precisely because of these rays of light that Ji Chen roughly perceived the cultivation of these people. But it is only an approximate perception, and it is not possible to understand it in detail.

Among these thirty or so people, seven have the highest cultivation, probably in the third to fifth realms of foundation building, the rest are in the first realm of foundation building, and there are even many who have not built a foundation.

These foundation-building realms, including those who have not built a foundation, should be servants or disciples of these seven people, which can be seen from their demeanor.

The cultivation and attire of this crowd and their conversation made Ji Chen guess their identities, they were demon slaying people in the border wilderness, and like their previous self, they were doing penance in the wilderness, relying on demon slaying and digging demon pills to earn limited cultivation resources.

Ji Chen swept everyone into his eyes at a glance, and there was no evil aura on these people.

Ji Chen's arrival naturally attracted their attention, dressed like a scholar, with a long sword stuck in his waist.

First of all, at first glance, they ruled out that Ji Chen was evil and was not possessed by yin ghosts.

They naturally have their own methods for identifying evil spirits, and under normal circumstances, evil spirits do not possess scholars. Scholars have more or less heroic righteousness in their bodies, especially scholars who dare to walk at night, naturally have their own self-confidence.

It's just that the aura on Ji Chen's body is not strong, and he is not even exposed on the surface of his body to resist the ubiquitous evil aura, which can't help but make everyone look down, thinking that he is a down-and-out scholar who came to Wenjiagou to take advantage of the opportunity.

At this time, someone asked: "Dare to ask the scholar if he wants to enter the Wenjiagou to make chances?" ”

The person who asked was an old man, who should be the leader of one of the demon slaying teams, and he had a relatively high prestige among this group of people.

These thirty or so people are obviously not together. Ji Chen could see from the sitting posture of everyone that there were at least five forces in this group of people.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ji Chen heard this word for the first time.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that for the demon slayers and foot merchants in the border wilderness, if they want to practice, the biggest problem is resources, they will not let go of any opportunity to get the opportunity, perhaps in their opinion, the strange breeding place of Wenjiagou contains the opportunity is not necessarily.

and thought that Ji Chen was also like them, and came to Wenjiagou to take chances.

Ji Chen arched his hand and replied: "In Xia Fenglin Town, I was ordered by the order of the county commander to come here to investigate the strangeness of Wenjiagou. ”

He had not yet had time to dismount, but he could not fail to answer the question, so he answered with a fist on his horseback.

However, his behavior made some of the young people next to the campfire feel unhappy, after all, this way of answering is extremely disrespectful, to put it bluntly, arrogant, and no one in sight.

Moreover, a government official dares to come to participate in strange events, and he can't find death.

Ji Chen also saw the other party's dissatisfaction and didn't care. He was a casual person, straight and straight, he went to the wilderness to gouge food, and he talked about etiquette, and he was more direct about his fists.

Ji Chen glanced at Wenjiagou in the distance, the fog was shrouded, and he couldn't see it clearly.

He did not rush forward, but dismounted and carried the gourd to the campfire.

"It's freezing, borrow a fire!"

With that, he sat down by the campfire. There must be a reason why this group of people are waiting here and do not enter.

"Scholar, are you really sent by the county order to investigate?" Someone asked, he was a little puzzled, how could the county order send a scholar to investigate the weirdness, isn't this a death sentence!

If you want to say how powerful and righteous this scholar is, they don't feel it, and their age is not right.

Which Confucian you have ever seen who is powerful enough to raise his hand to suppress demons is less than double ten.

"Exactly!" Ji Chen nodded, "Yin and evil breed and affect the livelihood of the people and merchants, and the county order sent me to clean it up." ”

"Poof!"

A young man next to him immediately laughed: "You are a servant, you are still a scholar, you have no power to restrain the chicken, you may have accumulated a little Haoran Qi, and you dare to threaten to clean up the yin and evil, what a joke." ”

For these demon slayers, Ji Chen is not in their circle, and he was so rude just now, especially if he is still a servant, he is naturally very unhappy.

In addition, he said that he was here to clean up the yin and evil, so he naturally laughed at it with disdain.

They have studied with the master for more than ten years, and even after they have built a foundation, they dare not threaten to have the ability to clean up the yin and evil inside. How could a scholar who was younger than them dare to boast of such a sea mouth.

I don't know how thick the sky is.

The strong draw their swords at the stronger, and the weak swing their swords at the weaker.

These children and servants, who are usually suppressed or reprimanded by their masters or masters, now meet a stranger, and he is also a teenager who does not know the height of the sky, so it is natural that they will spare no effort to ridicule and slander in order to regain their lost dignity and gain that faint sense of accomplishment.

Are they stupid, naturally not stupid, they just want to step on others to get a glimmer of satisfaction that they don't usually get.

The weak wave their swords at the weaker, and this is the kind of people they are talking about.

No, another young man said in a weird manner: "Maybe people have great skills, but it's not necessarily, after all, they were sent by the county magistrate, and the official body!" ”

For this kind of person, Ji Chen is naturally not used to it, glanced at him, and snorted coldly: "Even with your kind of heart, you dare to come out and kill demons, I really don't know how you survived until now." ”

"You!" The man was so angry that he was about to attack, but the old man stopped him.

However, he still snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "Be careful when you go to the village later, it's weird that you don't have such a good temper as me, don't die in it." ”

"Shaoying......!"

The old man scolded, no matter how he said that Ji Chen was also a servant, representing the county government, in this wasteland, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, and the county government was the sky, and it was sent by the county commander, if they died here, they would not be able to get rid of it.

Besides, would the county magistrate really be stupid enough to send a powerless scholar to investigate the weirdness of Wenjiagou?

Of course not!

Since he dares to come, he must have his support.

As a demon slayer who has lived in the border wilderness for decades, the old man naturally has his unique vision and analytical ability.

"Children don't understand the rules, forgive me!" The old man spoke.

Ji Chen said: "It's okay, who hasn't come from the child yet, take a look at this child more, I guess I won't be able to see it in the future." ”

"With his character, he dares to come to the wilderness to beg for a living, and it is a luxury to live one more day, this kind of person had better stay away from him, and beware of implicating you when the thunder strikes him."

"You're ......!" The young man was furious again, but because of the majesty of the old man, he did not attack, but the killing intent in his eyes was not concealed, and he was even planning in his heart to go into Wenjiagou for a while, how to use the environment inside to kill Ji Chen.
