Gan Fei saw Teng Xiang again, he lowered his head, thoughtfully, and walked quickly, no longer the old and ugly blue-gray robe that had not been replaced for many years, but a crimson robe, and the lacquered sarong crown on his head reflected his official rank, and when he was about to get closer, he felt that there seemed to be many more people in the hall, and he raised his head in astonishment, and his eyes quickly met Gan Fei, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed happily: "Brother Gan, is you?" grabbed a few steps and held Gan Fei's hands.

Teng Xiang looked thinner than when he was separated, but his skin was warmer, and his complexion was faintly radiant. Gan Fei smiled: "But I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I finally waited for you." ”

Wu Ping bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Teng, Gan Yingying arrived near noon, and he has been waiting for half an hour. ”

Teng Xiang couldn't help shaking his hands excitedly: "I know the way, I know the way, Brother Gan entered the tiger's den alone, there must be no danger, and he will return with great success." Today, I see Brother Gan's tiger body proud, and his demeanor is better than in the past, and the younger brother is overjoyed. ”

Gan Fei could only smile helplessly, but he didn't want to worry about it, and after a few words of greeting with Teng Xiang, he withdrew his hand, took off the long sword from his waist, and turned to Teng Xiang Yifeng: "Brother Teng, return your family to pass on the sword, it is a big loss to it, and this trip can be invincible to punish demons and eliminate demons." ”

"To be able to do your best, and to have honor. Teng Xiang took the sword in his hand, bowed to Gan Fei again, and then instructed Wu Ping: "Captain Wu, go to the room and get that thing." ”

Wu Ping agreed and turned to go, and only then did Teng Xiang begin to look at a few people who had come with Gan Fei, with an inquiring look on his face.

Chen San was the first to come up: "Lord Teng, don't you recognize the small one?" The small one is Chen San in the back street, and it is the old neighborhood of the adults. ”

"Oh, junior, long time no see. Although Teng Xiang was a subordinate official of the imperial court, he was still very modest in treating people, smiled at Chen San and nodded, looked at the others, and asked: "Brother Gan, these are the ......" suddenly noticed the scaleless, and was stunned, "This ...... Isn't this Brother Wu?"

Scaleless laughed: "Teng Gongzi still remembers me, it is Xiao ...... Villain. He originally wanted to call himself a little demon, but when he found that Chen San was beside him, he hurriedly changed his words.

"This Brother Wu understands righteousness, if he hadn't saved us there, we wouldn't have been able to escape. Now he and we are all the way, and he is no longer the evil demon of that season. Gan Fei patted Scaleless's shoulder, which was a friendly expression between the brothers of life and death, and Scaleless's chest straightened, and he smiled very much.

"Brother Wu abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and changed the evil and returned to the right, which is gratifying. Teng Xiang saluted sincerely, and his heart was quite happy for Wuscale.

"This one, Master Sima Zhong Lin Bozhong, the Siji of Dongyang County. Gan Fei pointed at Zhong Linbo, and Zhong Linbo stepped forward: "I've seen Teng Duwei." Teng Xiang couldn't help but wonder secretly, why did Sima and Gan Fei from Dongyang County come to the same place?

Gan Fei's soft whisper in his ear relieved Teng Xiang: "This Lord Zhong met him in the realm of demons, he also has the power to subdue demons, and he was killed from the land of demons with me, it is his own brother, such a person is exactly what you, the Captain of the Tomb, need the most." ”

Teng Xiang couldn't help nodding, and Shi Wei on the side took the initiative to come forward to salute: "Yang Zhai Shiyu, I've seen Mr. Teng." I am presumptuous, please don't blame Mr. Teng. "The words between the words are round, the voice is clear, but it is quite tacky.

Teng Xiang secretly praised in his heart, only saying that this person had a great background, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he solemnly returned the courtesy: "Where did Mr. Shi come from? Brother Gan's friend is the friend of the younger brother, and he has to see the respected fan, and the younger brother is also shining here." ”

As he was talking, Wu Ping had already walked out of the inner room, holding a disc and putting it directly on the table in front of Gan Fei, Gan Fei looked at the disc, a broad-bladed broadsword, a purple wood longbow, a pot of carved arrows, a set of short brown shirts ironed and flat, and a package, bulging.

"Brother Gan entrusted the things to the younger brother, and the younger brother has been meticulously collected, and this time it will be returned in its original form. ”

Gan Fei said: "Thank you." Looking at these familiar things, I had mixed feelings, and I thought back to the time when I had a wide knife in my hand, a long bow on my back, and a brown shirt walking in the world to kill demons and demons, as if it was an extremely distant memory. Gan Fei reached over and took out the big knife, but he felt that the blade was heavy, and he felt very uncomfortable, and he sighed secretly in his heart, he had lost all his strength, and he couldn't lift the blade even when he used to be lucky.

Angry and tearful in his heart, Gan Fei couldn't bear to show it, he took out a knife and a bow, and when he touched the short brown shirt, his body was shocked, and he stroked it for a long time, silently and speechlessly.

"Brother Gan?" Seeing Gan Fei's sad face, Teng Xiang felt something different, and called tentatively.

Gan Fei realized his gaffe and grinned: "Brother Teng, you still have to keep this shirt on your behalf, and I will wear it when I can wear it." Please find me another ordinary short shirt, I really can't wear this scholar's robe. ”

Brown shirt short placket, dry door respect. This outfit is for the real demon slayer, Gan Fei is sad that he has no strength now, and he is not qualified to wear a brown shirt and a short placket, if he wears this body made by demons, wouldn't it be a waste of the name of the Qianjia? Gan Fei has made a decision, wait until his strength is turned back, and the power of the demon is regenerated, and then he will wear this set of clothes again.

Gan Fei's thoughts Teng Xiang didn't know, but knowing that Gan Fei must have something unspeakable, Teng Xiang didn't ask much, only answered, and told Wu Ping to pick up ordinary clothes again.

Gan Fei opened the bulging package again, but at a glance, but he was very happy, the inside was clear and bright, it was all some gold and money, it was the property that the great Sima rewarded at that time, after allocating the quota that should be handed over to Ji Rui and bringing it back to the Qianjia, there were still so many left, but he handed it to Teng Xiang before he went to Pingtaowu, thinking that Teng Xiang's family was poor, and these belongings could also help him.

Gan Fei Ha smiled, picked up the package and checked it, and said in his heart This is a good thing, he is feeling that Ruan Bao is shy, and he is becoming more and more strained, and he can only follow Zhong Linbo along the way to mix white food, now it's okay, this bag of real money is enough for a few years of expenses anyway.

"Lord Teng, there are guests, the wine and rice are good, call the guests to eat and eat together. Niu Lao Wu came out of the inner compartment with a bang, and the oil on his face became heavier.

"Okay, eat first. Details will be discussed at the time of the meal. Teng Xiang raised his voice and said, "Niu Wu, bring the wine and rice to the main hall to eat, take the wine, and use the good wine transported by the officials." ”

Gan Fei was changing clothes, Wu Ping got him a burlap coat, which was the right size to wear on his body, it seems that this Wu Ping is a very fine person, and he is also very quick in doing things, but in a few glances, he accurately estimated Gan Fei's size.

Seeing everyone sitting down, Wu Ping whispered a few words to Teng Xiang, Teng Xiang was shocked and patted his forehead: "Oh, I'm so happy to see Brother Gan, why did I forget? ”

Teng Xiang paced back and forth a few steps helplessly, at this time Niu Lao Wu was happily serving the hot wine and meat, and laid it out, but saw the golden corn rice, red braised beef, and the fragrance passed through the nose, making Gan Fei more and more hungry, it seems that Niu Lao Wu's cooking methods are not as bad as his tea-making skills, just when Gan Fei was about to sit down and feast, Teng Xiang stepped forward to give everyone a confession: " Teng has other official business, don't dare to delay, so, Officer Wu, you and Niu Wu have a good life to entertain distinguished guests, I will go to lead the horse, go to the Da Sima Mansion for a while, and come back to accompany me when I am young, forgive my sins. ”

Several people had a good impression of the humble and polite Teng Xiang, and they all signaled that it was okay, Wu Ping wanted to ask a few words, but seeing that Teng Xiang had made up his mind, he agreed very respectfully. However, Gan Feier heard several times about the Great Sima Mansion, and he was surprised in his heart, the Great Sima was on an expedition, but something happened in the mansion, and he wanted to call the Tomb Lieutenant Bureau, which specializes in dealing with demons and monsters, to go?

Gan Fei pulled a few pieces of braised beef and stuffed them into his mouth, relieved his hunger a little, and then stood up: "Since I go to Da Sima Mansion, Brother Teng, I will go with you, don't forget, I have been there for a long time, and there are many places that can help me, and it is just right to visit the old place again." ”

Gan Fei just said to Teng Xiang, not to ask for his consent, so before the words fell, Gan Fei had already put the big sword and longbow behind his back, tied his hemp shoes tightly, and was ready to go. Looking at the appearance of this majestic tiger, it is quite a heroic posture of the past.

※※※

How could Teng Xiang refuse Gan Fei's accompaniment? In fact, since he took charge of this Mausoleum Lieutenant Office, Teng Xiang extremely needed the help of a master with rich experience in subduing demons, and this consideration happened to consult Gan Fei one by one along the way, and because of this, Gan Fei finally knew the general situation of the Mausoleum Lieutenant Bureau.

The imperial court has always been a little foggy about the official position of the commander of the tomb, and if it weren't for Huan Da Sima's initiative, I am afraid that he would have been impeached by those officials a long time ago. Teng Xiang felt that he was soft-spoken, and felt that it was necessary to make the duties of the Governor of the Tomb public, but the details of the matter involving demons and ghosts were inconvenient to publicize, and most of the Manchu courtiers would scoff at it, or even attach it to the new attack on the Great Sima.

So, after some consideration, Teng Xiang announced that the position of the Commander of the Tomb had changed in line with the current fashion, and only said that the Commander of the Tomb was an official office used to worship the ancestors and gods, drive away evil spirits, and solve all kinds of strange things. To put it bluntly, it is like the Taoist Xuanmen directly under the royal family. For this office, although the ministers have criticism, but it is not unacceptable, the Jin people are still ghosts and gods, and often encounter some strange and incomprehensible things are pushed to the heads of ghosts and gods, and there is such an official office to solve such troubles and difficulties in the past. In this way, whatever happened in the home of the Manchu Dynasty officials found the Commander of the Shrine, such as a strange cry by the pond in the middle of the night for no reason, or a white shadow suddenly floating in the backyard of a house, or the head of a family suddenly had a strange dream, etc., turning an armament office that was originally meant to be prepared to deal with demons into a place for witches to pray for disasters. In fact, there are so many strange things, most of them are just hallucinations when the family is in a trance after taking Shi San.

However, in the end, the ceremonial tomb was listed in the court office, and the money and food were also abundantly transported every ten years, laying a solid foundation for the final establishment of the demon army, but in more than a month, it can have such a scale, which shows Teng Xiang's talent. Gan Fei was very happy to hear it, but he definitely couldn't do it, and it seemed that he had entrusted the right person.

The Shrine Lieutenant Office has also gradually become complete according to Teng Xiang's initial idea, and the location of the official office is really in a sparsely populated place, and the previous announcement has also made it logical for the official office to delve into the affairs of gods and ghosts, and therefore has been recommended by other government offices to come from two strangers.

Wu Pingyuan is a knife and pen official in Shangshu Chengfu, it is said that he was born with a pair of strange eyes, he can see ghosts and ghosts, and he has more ways to drive them, he can detain the soul and drive away the spirit, and a group of colleagues only regard him as a strange person.

Niu Wu was originally Fan Yang Lu's door in the kitchen, from Guanzhong to avoid chaos, it is said that there is a strange chicken in the Lu Mansion, can speak, at night the eyes are strange, all over the house think it is a demon, dare not approach, only this Niu Wu does not care, stepped forward to grab the strange chicken, wrung off the chicken head, and stewed the chicken in a pot of fat soup. Who dares to eat this chicken soup? Or Niu Wu, even the soup and meat, have eaten it all, and since then they have left a reputation for not being afraid of demons and ghosts.

Dare to love these two lieutenants like this, Gan Fei felt that he had the opportunity to take the test, and suddenly thought that he had no spare strength now, and he was afraid that he would not be as good as them, but he couldn't help but cry again.

Today, it was summoned by the official Cao, but Teng Xiang got there, but found that it was the family of the Great Sima Mansion who brought a letter from Princess Nankang, only saying that there was another strange incident in the mansion and asked Teng Xiang to deal with it quickly. Gan Fei hasn't returned to the Great Sima Mansion for a long time, but he is quite nostalgic for the old days, and what is even more curious is that the matter of the merman banshee in the Great Sima Mansion has only passed for a long time, but what kind of strange things have happened? Could it be that he really suffered from the trouble of the magnet of the demonic thing, and provoked a new demon?

From the Mausoleum Lieutenant Office to the Great Sima Mansion, one east and one north, very far apart, even though Gan Fei and Teng Xiang rode a healthy horse, galloping all the way, but the time to arrive at the Great Sima Mansion has also reached the time of the recent evening meal, seeing the familiar Zhumen mansion, Gan Fei couldn't help but sigh again, at that time and Yu Mei side by side, the scene of coming together is still vivid, thinking about it as yesterday.

Before the two of them dismounted, they heard the sound of an argument coming from the gate of the Great Sima Mansion, and a group of guards in armor formed a circle, and a woman in the circle said in a cold voice: "Don't move your hands and feet!
