The old man's expression froze for a long time, and it wasn't until Cheng Guang got a little impatient and asked again that he came back to his senses.

"World ...... The ...... of the Prince"

The old man swallowed stiffly, inexplicably horrified at what he had just offended.

Cheng Guang didn't think too much about him, waved his hand, and asked again.

"Uncle, where do black light deacons like me need to go to get people?"

The old man hurriedly stood up and said respectfully: "Shizi, just call me old man." ”

"For example, if we go out to handle cases or do tasks, most of them are transferred from within the department, and the white light can command ten black light fast, and the black light fast is the lowest, so it stands to reason that only some supernumerary members can be assigned."

"It's just that if you say it, even if it's a golden lantern, you can command it......"

The old man said very sensibly: "Shizi, there are only three golden lamp deacons in the department now, and I will call all of them over......"

Cheng Guang hurriedly shook his head, rejected the old man's kindness, and said, "Just bring me a few supernumerary members." ”

For Cheng Guang, he actually doesn't need too strong subordinates, if he needs subordinates whose strength is advanced, he doesn't need to look for them from the Lantern Division, there are countless strong people among the guards around him.

At the moment, he just needs some people who can help him investigate and handle the case, it doesn't matter whether he is strong or not, whether his status is high or not, the important thing is that he can be obedient and sensible.

can let him go through the motions perfectly, find a perfect reason for the intelligence information he knows, and tell Cheng Zhihai.

Seeing Cheng Guang say this, the old man no longer insisted, took out a few pieces of paper full of information from the drawer under the table, and handed them to Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang took it and took a look, and found that this was the information of non-staff personnel, including character portraits, names, cultivation realms, and so on.

Cheng Guang found that even if they were supernumerary members of the Lantern Division, their cultivation realm was not low, and those with the lowest cultivation realm had reached the four-grade divine realm, which was only stronger than Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng status -1

Cheng Guang had such a line of text floating in his heart, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

The old man in front of him handed Cheng Guang a pile of information, which was full of information related to the nostalgia of the prince, since he wanted to check the nostalgia of the prince, he naturally needed to know the information related to the nostalgia of the prince.

This information covers a wide range of information, from the birth of the prince to the subsequent disappearance, all the information is included in it, but some of the information is not very complete, otherwise, it would not be like this.

Cheng Guang estimated that if the information on the nostalgic prince was more detailed, the thickness of this information would have to be at least ten times greater.

"Shizi, if you are a supernumerary member, you can go to the personnel hall over there to find it, these supernumerary personnel still need to complete a few tasks before they can be promoted to full members and become a black light catcher, so they are very eager to complete the task......

"Shiziling's task, the task of finding the nostalgic prince is too difficult, do you want to choose other simple tasks?"

The old man said as if he was a little worried, and while speaking, he also took out some tasks from the side, and said in a low voice: "Shizi, these are all tasks that I have summed up by the old man, there are many merits and few things, and I don't take them out by ordinary people, Shizi, or you will choose these tasks again?" ”

Cheng Guang couldn't help but smile dumbly when he saw this, you really think that I am here to complete the task and improve my position.

If Cheng Guang really wanted to complete the task and improve his position by obtaining meritorious deeds, he would not have to come to the Lamp Division in person, Cheng Zhihai would help him get everything done.

He just had to lie down and be good to go.

Cheng Guang rejected the old man's kindness with a smile, didn't say much, didn't explain anything, and walked out of the mission hall with the information.

But after a while, he arrived at the hall of personnel that the old man had mentioned.

When the officials of the Lantern Department of the Personnel Hall saw Cheng Guang's arrival, they were so frightened that their bodies tensed, and their every move became a little stiffer.

After Cheng Guang handed over the personnel information in his hand to the officials of the Personnel Palace, they hurriedly went to find someone for Cheng Guang.

The actions of the members of the Personnel Hall were very efficient, and Cheng Guang only waited for a cup of tea, and the supernumerary members who belonged to him all arrived in front of him.

There were five of them.

Three men and two women.

The highest cultivation realm is the five-rank Divine Realm, and the lowest is the Four-Rank Divine Realm.

When these five people came to the personnel hall, they all thought that the person who came to them to perform the task was just an ordinary black light catcher.

And when they saw that it was Cheng Guang, sitting at a desk and quietly waiting for their peerless nobleman.

They were all stunned.

The five of them instantly became a little more restrained, and their bodies became a little twisted a little regardless of whether they were men or women.

However, they didn't dare to be rude, even if they were full of nervousness, they still came over to say hello to Cheng Guang respectfully.

"Shizi."

Cheng Guang nodded in response.

"Shizi, dare to ask this time, what task are we going to complete?" Among the five people, the tall and muscular man cautiously opened his mouth to ask.

His name is Xu Hongfei, not only is his body the tallest and most robust, but his cultivation is also the highest existence among the five.

Five products open the realm of gods.

Cheng Guang handed them the information in his hand on the nostalgic prince, stood up, and stretched lazily, "The goal of our mission this time is to find the nostalgic prince, the five of you follow me to work hard, let's strive to find the whereabouts of the nostalgic prince within a month." ”

Cheng Guang said, smiling at the five of them, revealing a faint and extremely gentle smile.

As soon as Xu Hongfei and the five of them heard Cheng Guang's words, their little faces turned a little pale with fright.

"Ah???h

Xu Hongfei's mouth couldn't help but open wide, and his eyes almost burst out, quite a little bit of a miscellaneous soldier in Journey to the West who was asked by the king to arrest Tang Seng.

Who is the nostalgic prince?

The abolished prince of the previous dynasty can deal with the Great Zhou Emperor for decades, and he can still exist unharmed, where can he be caught so easily.

The prince can't be crazy, right......

actually wanted to take these supernumerary members to find the nostalgic prince......

Xu Hongfei's lips twitched a few times, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but speak:

"The Prince...... That, with all due respect, the task of missing the prince is not something we can touch, and only those who catch more than the silver lantern can challenge it......"

"If we want to complete this task, I'm afraid that there will be no way to find the nostalgic prince within a month, and then it will be a waste of time and energy."

Xu Hongfei didn't dare to offend Cheng Guang, so he kept being cautious when he spoke, observing Cheng Guang's expression word by word, for fear that if he said this, he would anger Cheng Guang.

And Cheng Guang is not as cautious as Xu Hongfei imagined, Xu Hongfei and these people will think so, which is completely in his expectation.

For Xu Honghong, it doesn't matter if he wants it or not, it's just a formality, so he immediately smiled and said:

"I don't force you to follow me to complete the task, after all, it may be a waste of a month and nothing, so I leave the choice to you, and you decide for yourself whether you want to follow me or not."

"I don't blame you."

Cheng Guang's voice fell, and the faces of Xu Hongfei and the other five people in front of him became a lot more entangled.

They really don't want to waste their time.

Time is more important than money to them as supernumerary members.

As for the reason, it is very simple, if they can complete some more tasks, they can officially join the Lighting Division as soon as possible and become a black light catcher of the Lighting Division.

Once there, they can claim their own quests to earn feats and exchange them for various resources to further improve their strength.

Moreover, the light department is not low, just a black light catch, 30 taels of silver a month, which is worth a year's income from an ordinary job.

There is no doubt that for ordinary people, the remuneration of the lantern keeper is indeed particularly attractive.

These two reasons are combined, there are not many supernumerary members who are willing to waste their time and waste this month to find the nostalgic prince, trying to complete this illusory task.

However, to complete the task with a noble person like Shizi, even if there is no progress in the final task, it is excellent to be able to hug Shizi's thigh.

It's just that such a big figure as the prince of the world is something that their supernumeraries can contact.

After a task, if there is no progress, it seems that they are incompetent, not only can they not hug the thighs of the prince, but the prince may blame them.

No one can bear the blame of the son.

For a moment, all five people fell silent.

Cheng Guang did not urge them, but quietly drank tea on the side.

After a while, someone hesitated and walked out slowly.

The man was thin and weak, his face was still a little sallow, and he felt a little malnourished.

He looked at Cheng Guang a little timidly, and said in a low voice: "Shizi, I, Chen Qing, am afraid that I can't follow Shizi to complete this task, my mother is now seriously ill, and she needs to spend a lot of silver every month to treat her illness, so I need to complete more tasks as soon as possible, save up enough qualifications and merits, and be promoted to become a black light catcher, I really don't have time to ......."

"I'm sorry."

After Chen Qing finished speaking, Cheng Guang's face did not change in the slightest, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Who else wants to quit?" ”

Following Chen Qing, soon, several supernumerary members walked out slowly.

They are two girls out of five.

They are actually a little greedy for Cheng Guang's body, and their eyes have been peeking at Cheng Guang from the beginning, and although they are greedy for Cheng Guang's body, they dare not directly follow Cheng Guang to complete this task of finding the missing prince.

Even a lot of golden lanterns don't have much confidence to be able to find the nostalgic prince.

How could Shizi, a person who had never handled cases and had not had much intelligence gathering ability, lead them to find the nostalgic prince? ?

It's basically impossible.

If you want to find the nostalgic prince, relying on these supernumerary personnel alone, plus the prince alone, it is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, the two girls quickly stood up at the same time, and spoke up a little delicately.

"Shizi, we can't do it anymore, our family is poor, and we don't have so much time to waste."

At the same time, in addition to these two girls, in addition to Xu Hongfei, another boy also stood up.

The words he said were similar to those of the previous ones.

It's nothing more than that I feel that following Cheng Guang to find the whereabouts of the nostalgic prince is a complete waste of time.

They will waste some time in vain and have nothing to gain.

Cheng Guang was not much surprised by this, but felt a little pity.

It's not his own pity.

It's a pity for those who just rejected them.

Just now, the gears of their fate had begun to turn, but they had been snapped alive.

Give you a chance, you're useless.

Cheng Guang sighed in his heart, and his gaze fell on the last person.

There is still the last Xu Hongfei left, if Xu Hongfei doesn't want to do this task with him, he will really become a loner.

That's it.

Cheng Guang was a little skeptical that he had just said that they could freely choose to stay, whether he was wrong and should not have said it.

What he said now was the water that was spilled, and he could no longer refute it.

It doesn't matter if there is no one, and the supernumerary personnel of the Lantern Division are unreliable, so it is not impossible for him to join a certain team of white lantern catchers.

Cheng Guang rubbed his chin and thought like this.

And just when Cheng Guang felt that Xu Hongfei, who had raised doubts from the beginning, would also refuse and let him fly solo, Xu Hongfei walked over to Cheng Guang and saluted solemnly after a touch of confusion on his face.

"Shizi, they don't want to follow you, I, Xu Hongfei, am willing to swear to the death!"

Cheng Guang was a little surprised, sighed lightly, and looked at Xu Hongfei.

Xu Hongfei noticed Cheng Guang's gaze at him, he didn't know what Cheng Guang was thinking, his face remained unchanged, and he still bowed his head respectfully.

"Shizi, I asked that before, not that I thought Shizi would not be able to complete the task, but I just wanted to see how sure Shizi was of the task, so I have been observing Shizi since just now."

"I found that Shizi, from the very beginning, did not show much panic on his face, even in the face of my doubts and the departure of Chen Qing and the four of them, the calm and unhurried look on Shizi's face did not change in the slightest."

"So, I believe that Shizi will be able to complete the task and not take a risk."

After Xu Hongfei finished speaking, Cheng Guang was a little surprised.

This Xu Hongfei ......

Fine......

You can still see his head.

After hearing Xu Hongfei's words, Cheng Guang was a little puzzled if Xu Hongfei just wanted to see him, how sure he was of finding the nostalgic prince, and he would deliberately say such things just now to test him.

The temptation was that he came out of the temptation, and at the same time he took the rest of his teammates away.

The four people, including Chen Qing, changed their faces instantly after listening to Xu Hongfei's words.

Becomes iron-black.

I almost didn't point at Xu Hongfei and scolded, you are a real dog.

Basically, because of Xu Hongfei's words, they didn't have much confidence in this mission, and they felt that it was a waste of time to follow the prince to complete the task of finding the missing prince.

And now look at ......

It doesn't seem like a waste of time.

Chen Qing and the others thought carefully at this time, and suddenly found that the prince of the world was the son of the world, what kind of members did he need to find it?

Why bother to come to them for these supernumerary catchers.

Besides, the prince of the world is the son of the world, and it is impossible for him to suddenly want to carry out a mission for no reason, maybe there will be some internal information.

Maybe......

Director Cheng has already paved the way for the prince.

In the hearts of Chen Qing and the four of them, there was a slight guess.

At this time, they all thought that Cheng Guang might really be able to complete the task, and it was still beyond their expectations.

However, there is no guarantee that there is a 100% certainty, at least more than half.

If the prince of the world is sure of everything, I am afraid that there will be countless golden lantern catchers, begging to join the team of the prince, where can they be reduced to these supernumerary personnel who are not even fast catchers.

And if you follow the prince to complete the task and find the whereabouts of the nostalgic prince, even if you can't deal with the nostalgic prince, you can still get a lot of merits.

That large number of feats can not only make them promote from a supernumerary member of the Lantern Division to a black light catcher, be bolder, maybe it is not impossible to be directly promoted to a white light catcher.

Such a large span is nothing to Cheng Guang.

But for Chen Qing and the others, it can be said that it is a step to the sky.

Come to think of this.

Chen Qing and the four of them suddenly regretted their intestines.

Damn it.

Rejection of the son of the world, the rejection is too fast!!

Even if Cheng Guang didn't say anything at this time, he still looked at them with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the faint smile made them feel pain more than ridicule.

The biggest opportunity in life was wasted by them.

It was only at this time that they suddenly realized that even if they followed the prince, they didn't find the nostalgic prince in the end, and they didn't complete the task, so there was no harm.

Being able to follow the son of the world and complete the task is already an opportunity.

If you can hug the thigh of the prince during this period, wouldn't it be a direct take-off? ?

Thinking about it, Chen Qing's faces became miserable in an instant.

Especially the two girls, their eyes turned red instantly.

It's already a look like it's about to drop a small pearl.

Cheng Guang didn't look at them too much, if he left, he would not want to return to them.

Cheng Guang looked at Xu Hongfei a few more times, and found that this Xu Hongfei was much smarter than the other four, and just such a person seemed to be enough.

He got up, took the papers, and walked out of the hall.

Xu Hongfei hurriedly followed, followed behind Cheng Guang, and left the Lamp Division.

And Chen Qing and the other four people who stayed in place, looked at the figures of Cheng Guang and Xu Honghong leaving, their faces were slightly miserable, their faces were bitter, and they looked at each other a few times.

I just feel that the biggest opportunity in their lives was pushed out by them personally.

At first, I thought it was a waste of time, and the nostalgic prince couldn't be found at all.

Now I suddenly feel that the prince still has a chance to find the nostalgic prince.

Although this is just a guess and has no basis, it still makes them feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Alas, don't think too much, it's done, let's wait for the others to come to us to complete the mission."

"It's all to blame on that Xu Hongfei, just now we didn't actually think about leaving the team of the son, the son of the world is the son of the world, if he doesn't mention it, where would we dare to leave."

"What else is there to say, it doesn't matter if we don't believe that the prince will be able to complete the task and be able to find the nostalgic prince."

"By the way, what do you think is the probability that the prince will be able to complete the task?"

"It stands to reason that if a black light catcher and that Xu Hongfei go to find it together, there is not much chance, but that black light catcher is the son of the world, and the opportunity is still quite big, I didn't ease my mind just now, now think about it, even if the son of the world can't complete the task, the elder they will find and miss the prince, and it is possible to give the credit for the completion of this task to the prince......"

Chen Qing and the four of them talked non-stop.

For a while, their bowels were about to turn green.

At this time, Cheng Guang had already left the Lamp Division with Xu Honghong.

Lin Cheng was waiting outside, and when he saw Cheng Guang leaving the Lantern Division, he greeted him as soon as possible, "Shizi." ”

Cheng Guang nodded slightly, got on his horse, "Let's go." ”

Lin Cheng hurriedly followed, and asked aloud, "Shizi, where are we going now?" ”

Cheng Guang didn't reply, but just set his eyes on Xu Hongfei.

"Xu Hongfei, do you know where the places where the demon clan has frequently appeared in recent times?"

When Xu Hongfei heard Cheng Guang's question, he reacted immediately and hurriedly said:

"Shizi, most of the places where the demon clan has frequently appeared recently are near Xiaobai Village, Xilitang, Hanting Liuli, and Nanping Village."

Xu Hongfei said, his brows couldn't help frowning, "Shizi, speaking of which, there have been more and more incidents of demon clan smuggling recently, and I don't know where these demon clans are smuggled from. ”

"Now that the matter of missing the prince comes out again, I'm afraid that everyone will not have the time and energy to investigate where the demon clan smuggled in, as long as those demon clans show their faces, we can quickly go to the town to kill them."

In the end, Xu Hongfei's face couldn't help showing some doubts and looked at Cheng Guang.

"Shizi, what are you asking for, is the matter of the demon clan's smuggling related to the nostalgia of the prince?"

Xu Hongfei was not very stupid, and immediately realized that Cheng Guang asked this, which was very likely related to their mission.

It's just that although he guessed that Cheng Guang asked this, it was very likely that it was related to their task of finding the nostalgic prince, but for a while, he couldn't guess what the demon clan's smuggling incident had to do with the nostalgic prince.

Could it be that behind the smuggling of the demon clan, there is still the involvement of the nostalgic prince? ?

Xu Hongfei couldn't help but think so, but soon shook his head again, trying to convince himself to deny the idea.

Unlikely, it's ridiculous.

Where can the demon clan get in touch with the nostalgic prince, even if they come into contact with the nostalgic prince, how can they cooperate with the nostalgic prince......

There is no harmony between the human race and the demon race, and the two races are mortal enemies when they see each other.

How is it possible to cooperate.

Xu Hongfei tried to convince himself, but he found that the effect of convincing himself was not very good.

After all, in an outlaw like the nostalgic prince, anything that can't happen can happen.

After Xu Hongfei finished asking, he fell silent.

Cheng Guang didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, smiled lightly, turned his head to look at Xu Hongfei again, and asked, "Where are the places you mentioned, and how far are they from the canal?" ”

When Xu Hongfei heard this, he thought for a moment and said: "These places are not on the edge of the canal, and they are still quite far from the canal. ”

When Cheng Guang heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little interesting.

"Not on the edge of the canal?"

Xu Hongfei nodded, but soon seemed to think of something, took out a map from his arms, looked at it a few times, and showed surprise.

"Shizi, look."

Xu Hongfei held the map to Cheng Guang's side so that Cheng Guang could see it clearly.

"Shizi, this is the place where the demon clan may appear that I just listed, although it is not on the edge of the canal, but they all have tributaries of the canal passing by ......"

Cheng Guang glanced at it, and he had a certain number in his heart.

These demons are not entirely stupid.

I still know that I can't concentrate near the canal and expose their base camp.

However, it is still not much smarter.

They thought that as long as they ran a little farther along the canal and along the tributaries, they could completely avoid the detection of the Lantern Division, but they did not expect that there was such a prophetic existence as themselves.

Just by looking at it, you will find something strange.

Cheng Guang planned to search along the tributaries infested by the demon clan to see if he could find some clues, and then track them into the canal.

Although he knew that the space-time rift used by the demon clan to smuggle was near Heming Island, he didn't know anything about how far it was from Heming Island.

With the forbidden isolation aura, even if he passed through that space-time rift, he might not be able to find a specific location.

It is still necessary to determine a general range first, and then find a specific location.

After finding the specific location, Cheng Guang felt that he didn't need to care about the next thing.

The rest of the things can be left to Cheng Zhihai to do.

Cheng Guang thought like this, and did not hesitate, and immediately wanted to leave Kyoto with Lin Cheng and Xu Hongfei and go to the location mentioned in their mouths.

It's just that before he left Kyoto, he felt Song Yunqi's embarrassed gaze.

This time, the place Cheng Guang was going to was too far away from Kyoto, and he was afraid that Cheng Guang would have some accidents.

Song Yunqi hesitated, but finally didn't say anything, sighed, and led several other guards to follow behind Cheng Guang.

The prince is now the black light of the Lamp Division, and the director should have allowed the prince to leave Kyoto.

Besides, it can be regarded as safe for him to follow Cheng Guang as soon as he follows Cheng Guang.

I don't think there will be any surprises.

Song Yunqi comforted himself in his heart, thinking like this, but he still cheered up his spirit and carefully looked after Cheng Guang.

If there was any accident in the world, Song Yunqi realized that even if he had a hundred heads, it would not be enough to cut off.

After leaving Kyoto, we made a quick trip all the way.

About three hours later, Cheng Guang arrived at the Xiaobai Village that Xu Hongfei said.

Xiaobai Village is backed by mountains and rivers, and the environment is quiet. Walking along the path of the village, you can see white-walled houses, turquoise ponds and moss-covered creeks.

Ten miles away from Xiaobai Village, there is a river flowing through.

The river is murmuring and choppy, and because this river flows from the canal, the volume of water is only larger than that of a normal river.

Cheng Guang walked along the river towards Xiaobai Village, and he found that many trees along the way were broken and collapsed, and there were traces of the demon clan's destruction here.

When I arrived in Xiaobai Village, the courtyard walls of every house had become messy and mottled, and the quiet environment everywhere seemed to have been swept away by some violent storm, and all of them had been destroyed.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air.

When Cheng Guang walked into Xiaobai Village, it seemed that someone in Xiaobai Village had discovered the whereabouts of several of them, and he looked out timidly.

After seeing the appearance of Cheng Guang and the others, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly walked out, and saluted Cheng Guang and the others:

"I don't know if it's a few adults who are holding the lamp, the old man is not welcome, and I hope a few adults will forgive me."

Cheng Guang looked at the appearance of the person who came.

Most of the people here are quite old people, all with gray hair and cloth clothes, like typical farmers.

Dozens of old people gathered at the entrance of the village, looking at Cheng Guang's appearance curiously.

In the entire Xiaobai Village, except for the elderly, it is no longer possible to see a young face.

When Xu Hongfei saw the visitor, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he asked, "Old man, why are you still here?" There are traces of the demon clan here, you are here, in case the demon clan attacks again, what should this be? ”

After Xu Hongfei finished speaking, the head of Xiaobai Village said with a bitter face: "My lord, we also know that Xiaobai Village will still be at risk of being attacked by the demon clan, but in February and March this year, it is the season of sowing seeds in a year, if we are not in Xiaobai Village today and do not cultivate, there will be no harvest next year, and dozens of families in our Xiaobai Village will have no rations to eat, but they will starve to death." ”

"But please rest assured, we have sent the young people in the village, as well as women, children and children to the city, and only us old guys are left in the village, even if they die, they are not worth much, so don't worry about anything."

After the village chief of Xiaobai Village finished speaking, he comforted Cheng Guang and the others, and asked: "Why did several adults come to Xiaobai Village again, could it be that there are demon clans nearby?" ”

"Alas, this damn demon clan, I don't know when it suddenly appeared, as soon as it came out, I don't know how many people died, fortunately, there is an adult who holds the lamp, otherwise with us people, who is the opponent of those murderous demon clans."

"However, it's better for a few adults to be careful, but don't be hurt by the demon clan."

The village chief of Xiaobai Village seems to be a chatter, even if Cheng Guang and the others do not respond, he can still talk non-stop.

Xu Hongfei heard the words of the village chief of Xiaobai Village, and wanted to say something, but when he looked at the old farmer in Xiaobai Village, with a face full of vicissitudes and loess, he didn't know what to say.

He was originally born in the countryside and from a poor family, and he still has empathy for these farmers who live at the bottom of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and knows that even if they don't comply with the rules, they can't force these farmers to do anything.

If they really want to move out of Xiaobai Village, they will not be able to plant their crops this year, and if there is no harvest next year, even if they are not killed by the demon clan, they will be starved to death.

Cheng Guang also frowned slightly at this time.

This little white village is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and it is still like this, and it is so difficult to survive, in order to make a living, all the old people in the village come out and risk death to farm......

This......

Cheng Guang was also speechless for a while.

He didn't dare to imagine what kind of life it was like for those who lived at the bottom of the Great Zhou in the villages far away from Kyoto and other remote places in the Great Zhou.

That's all for this era.

Under the governance of the Great Zhou Emperor, it has improved a lot.

In the past, the survival situation of these farmers was even more difficult, and they would be oppressed by the powerful and officials at any time, and ninety percent of the year's harvest would be stripped away layer by layer.

The remaining 10% can only barely enough to maintain the most basic livelihood of the family.

If the harvest is not good in the whole year, then someone in the family will inevitably starve to death.

This is already the norm.

In addition to Cheng Guang feeling uncomfortable with this, although others also felt that these old farmers risked life and death, it was very worthless, but they did not have such a strong feeling as Cheng Guang.

"A few adults, do you want to go to the village to drink a few cups of herbal tea, although the village is poor, there is nothing, but there are still a few mouthfuls of coarse tea and light rice, if the adults do not dislike it, go to the village to eat something, drink some tea, and rest for a while."

Cheng Guang shook his head, "No need, old village chief, do you know where the demon clan appeared?" ”

Cheng Guang's words came out, and the village chief of Xiaobai Village pointed to a place on the river bank in the distance and said, "The demon clan that the adults said suddenly appeared from that direction and plundered many young people in our village. ”

Saying that, the village chief of Xiaobai Village looked sad: "There are so many people, they have been eaten and captured by the demon clan, if it weren't for the adults who are in charge of the lantern division to come over in time, we Xiaobai Village is afraid that it would have been completely destroyed long ago." ”

Cheng Guang was silent for a moment when he heard this.

Before he got close to this little white village, he could smell such a strong smell of blood, and he thought that the situation of this little white village would not be too good, but he didn't expect that it would be so serious.

"Let's go check it out."

Cheng Guang looked in the direction pointed by the head of Xiaobai Village.

Lin Cheng and Xu Hongfei followed closely behind him.

The head of Xiaobai Village on the side took the initiative to lead the way for Cheng Guang.

After walking for a while, you will come to the bank of the river.

Here, there are huge monster footprints on the bank of the river, and the demonic aura is also the place where they have felt the most along the way.

Even if some time has passed, the demonic aura of this place is still so conspicuous.

This cultivation realm is at least the fourth grade......

Not particularly powerful.

Cheng Guang rubbed his chin and speculated secretly.

He knows.

The demon clan that appeared here came to attack Xiaobai Village, not to satisfy their appetite, but to cooperate with Bai Shuxuan to assassinate him and attract Cheng Zhihai's attention.

Lure Cheng Zhihai out of Kyoto and away from Cheng Guang's location, the farther away Cheng Zhihai is, the greater the chance that they will succeed in assassinating Cheng Guang.

It's just that in the end, it failed.

Later, even Cheng Zhihai began to investigate how and where the demon clan smuggled to Da Zhou, but before he could investigate the reason, the accident that occurred in the martial arts competition between Da Zhou and Da Wei later disrupted his original plan.

The investigation of the demon clan's smuggling was delayed.

And now, the nostalgia for the prince has appeared again.

Cheng Zhihai and the entire Lantern Division were no longer able to put all their minds on investigating the smuggling of the demon clan, so they threw it all aside and wholeheartedly investigated the matter of missing the prince.

The priorities have changed.

Compared with the matter of missing the prince, the smuggling of the demon clan is too light and will not attract the attention of the entire Lantern Division.

If Cheng Guang hadn't come over to investigate now, I'm afraid that no one would have come over to care about the smuggling of the demon clan here.

Cheng Guang thought in his mind, walked to the riverbank, and squatted down.

The demon clan swam all the way along the river bank, and in the river, there were not too many traces, and it was unrealistic to follow the traces left by the demon clan and trace it all the way to the canal, until the specific location of the time rift in the canal was discovered.

However, at least a general orientation can be determined.

Cheng Guang stood up and smiled at the village chief of Xiaobai Village: "Village chief, if nothing happens, there should be no more demon clans around here, you can rest assured, if there are any accidents, report to the government in time, and let the people in charge of the Lantern Division come over to deal with it." ”

Hearing this, the village chief of Xiaobai Village hurriedly nodded and agreed.

A look of sincere fear.

For them, the government is an existence that can not be provoked, and will not be provoked.

When there is really no way, they will go to the government and ask the people in charge of the lamp department to come and deal with it.

There is no problem with the person in charge of the lamp division.

Some people in the government are more terrifying than demons and monsters.

Cheng Guang read this information from the expression of the village chief of Xiaobai Village.

He sighed in his heart, he didn't know what to say, and after walking around the neighborhood again, he went to the other villages where demons appeared as Xu Honghong said.

It took Cheng Guang a few days to cover the canal basin near Kyoto and within a radius of thousands of miles.

After figuring out the general strength of the demons that appeared in each village, as well as the approximate distance from the canal, he already had a result in his mind.

Generally speaking, the weaker the demon, the shorter the distance from the canal, the space-time rift.

Their cultivation strength could not support them to run too far away.

The stronger the demons, the more distant they can often set foot in, so that the demons do not concentrate too much.

Fundamentally based on this law, Cheng Guang found that the demons around Xiaobai Village were the least powerful.

The farther you go, the stronger the demon becomes.

Doesn't this mean that among all the villages where demons appear in Xiaobai Village, the village closest to the rift at that time is the closest one?

Thinking about it again, Xiaobai Village is indeed quite close to Heming Island, but it is not far apart, and many of them are due to the fact that the tributaries of the canal have detoured some roads.

When Cheng Guang thought of this, his brows couldn't help twitching slightly.

, looking for it, it turned out to be back to square one.

The co-authorship is here.

The degree of light felt like he had found a blind spot.

It's just that the rift in time and space is the focus of demons, and most of the strength is not simple, maybe there is still a figure of the demon emperor, he really can't afford to provoke it now.

If you don't make a decision, don't panic first, go back and move a rescuer.
