Chapter 57: Surprise
Facing Gao Jing's question, Zhou Ang nodded with a smile and said, "I happened to find it, I'm afraid that it will run away, so I just kill it first!"
When he said this, it was just as the sky was about to dawn and the night breeze was coming.
As Liu Rui lifted the mat just now, the small prohibition imposed by Zhou Ang on the carriage had of course been broken. The wind stirred the air currents, and a faint bloody breath spread.
The driving horse snorted and began to scratch its hooves with some uneasiness.
Two lanterns were hung in front of the hall, the firelight was weak, and a hastily lit torch was held high by Liu Rui, illuminating Zhou Ang's face a little red.
Gao Jing and Liu Rui both looked up at Zhou Ang.
After hearing this, Liu Rui pursed his lips, and Gao Jing took a deep breath.
Killing demons is a big deal, and killing them is even more joyful.
Although for the level of the county Zhu Yamen, the credit of an eight-rank bear demon is really a bit big, and in the case of Lingzhou, there is a bear demon to kill, which is also a bit ungeographical.
Especially for Gao Jing, who already knew that Zhou Ang was actually only a ninth-order cultivator, this matter became more and more weird.
But there is no doubt that this is a good thing.
It's just that there are some obstacles -
He looked at Zhou Ang and said a little cautiously: "Then you plan to ......"
Without waiting for him to ask, Zhou Ang said directly: "This is what our entire yamen worked together to kill!"
Liu Rui looked up at him in surprise when he heard this.
Gao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then his waist suddenly straightened up.
This is of course a handicap!
But at the same time, it suddenly became reasonable.
After careful investigation and tracking, Zhu Yamen of Lingzhou County found the traces of a bear demon, and after careful deployment, in the case of full dispatch, the bear demon was killed in one fell swoop, and the body of the eight-grade bear demon was obtained, without any casualties......
No one can fault it!
But if it is replaced by "Zhou Ang, the clerk of this office, accidentally found the bear demon, lest it escape, and kill it on the spot!", then the problem will come - although it is not big, the corpse is here, it is the hardest credit, but there will definitely be doubts, no matter how small the problem is, it is also a problem.
Gao Jing took a deep breath again, nodded, and said, "That's very good!"
After a pause, he smiled, looked at Liu Rui, and said, "It's just ...... We're all going to follow you to take advantage of you again!" Liu Rui smiled and said in a joking tone: "It's okay, I'm used to it!"
Gao Jing was stunned for a moment and laughed.
Zhou Ang also laughed.
Speaking of which, since the earliest fox demon, to the weasel demon, and even the several cases that Zhou Ang participated in after joining the county Zhu Yamen in the middle, almost every time, Zhou Ang has played a great role. By now, everyone has admitted that Zhou Ang has been an indispensable and important member of the Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen in handling various cases and dealing with various hostile forces.
Therefore, even if it is engraved with cold noodles, the attitude towards Zhou Ang is also excellent, everyone treats him as their own, but in fact, when the credit is judged after these things are over, Zhou Ang's credit is almost always underestimated and suppressed - this is not Gao Jing or Du Yi want to do this, it is purely Zhou Ang himself deliberately low-key.
The credit is so great, Zhou Ang has contributed more and asked for less, so of course others will be stained.
No one is stupid, they can carry it clearly.
Liu Rui's words seem to be joking and joking, but at this time, why is he actually thanking Zhou Ang?
Of course, what they didn't know was that in terms of killing the bear demon alone, in fact, Zhou Ang had already taken the biggest gain into his arms-
The first is the transformation of the aura in his body brought by the channeling technique, and the second is that he feels that he has suddenly found the wildness and bloodiness that he is not afraid of the enemy.
So in fact, for Zhou Ang, the remaining corpse of the bear, the credit, reward, and even the friendship that can be obtained from the county Zhu Yamen, are just the final waste reuse - because if there is no passage for the county Zhu Yamen, for him, the biggest role of this bear may be only fur and bear paws.
That's worth a few bucks!
At this time, Gao Jing thought for a short time and said seriously: "Since Zixiu is so generous, he is willing to let all of us share some credit, then that's it, the first credit is still yours, but from the merit, everyone will follow the profit, but the rewards in the future will still be yours according to the previous example." Besides, how about we all pool our money and treat you to a drink?"
Zhou Ang laughed and said, "That's very good!"
............
The bear demon's corpse was quickly unloaded, and the official cultivators naturally had a way of dealing with the demon corpse, and when the bear demon was removed, Zhou Ang beckoned Lu Jin and the other two servants to fetch water together, and washed the carriage a few more times, and when they roughly washed away the bloodstains, the sky gradually brightened.
When it was estimated that the doors of the fangs everywhere should have been opened, and the car was already half-dry, Zhou Ang and Lu Jin, the master and servant, went out of the side door of the county Zhu Yamen and drove the carriage home.
The streets have begun to be sporadically populated, but overall they are still remarkably quiet.
Walking on the road, Lu Jin originally lowered his head, but suddenly, he turned his head to look at Zhou Ang walking beside him, and asked, "Young master, ...... bear bear?"
"Hmm, if you want to ask anything, just say it, don't ramble. ”
"That bear is a youkai, right?"
Zhou Ang smiled, "What have you learned from Guo Yuan recently?"
Lu Jin showed a smile and said, "Team Guo taught me how to use a knife, how to ride a horse, and also taught me the rules in the yamen. ”
"Well, what else?" asked Zhou Ang.
Lu Jin said: "There are still ...... Actually, a lot of it is my guess, I listen to them, I follow them, I ...... I guess, our yamen is dedicated to dealing with monsters, right?"
Zhou Ang continued to smile, "And then, what do you want to tell me?"
Lu Jin slowly stopped, and when Zhou Ang saw him stop, he also subconsciously stopped, turned around, and looked at him.
The child said very seriously: "Young master, when I was a child, I heard a lot of stories about demons and monsters, fox spirits or something, and some people sucked people's longevity...... Those stories are actually true, right?"
Zhou Ang pursed his lips and said, "Half-truth." ”
Lu Jin lowered his head, and after a while he raised his head, and when he saw that there was no one near him, he said: "Young master, I have thought about it, I also want to kill monsters!"
Zhou Ang laughed when he heard this.
After thinking about it, he said, "Then come to me in the official room that afternoon!"
Lu Jin laughed happily when he heard this, with an indescribable silly innocence.
"Thank you, young master!" he said.
............
When he returned home, taking advantage of Lu Chunsheng's unloading of the car, he exchanged a few words, Zhou Ang knew that his mother and sister in the backyard had already gotten up, but no one had come to the front yard yet, so Zhou Ang was completely relieved.
Inside and outside the house, wherever there are bloodstains, Lu Chunsheng has already washed them with water, and he can smell a faint smell of blood if he smells it carefully, but if he doesn't deliberately smell it, he can hardly smell it, and then deal with the bloodstained clothes on his body and Lu Jin's body, and the matter will be considered clean.
As for the corpse of the roe deer, it's better to leave it in the stable.
Then Zhou Ang changed his clothes, went to the backyard to say hello, had breakfast, etc., and after breakfast, he returned to the front yard as usual, at this time, he could finally sit on his chair with peace of mind, close his eyes, and seriously examine the changes in the aura in his body.
At this inspection, a smile quickly appeared on Zhou Ang's face.
He had experimented before, no matter how deliberately he deliberately emphasized and raised the importance of something in his heart, it didn't mean much, only really heartfelt thoughts were useful for the channeling technique.
Like this time.
Frankly speaking, if he had always wanted to find and kill monsters before, it was with a strong utilitarian heart, then, when he looked at and listened to the bear demon's evocative expression and said that he had eaten a little girl of seven or eight years old, what utilitarianism, what kind of guidance skills, etc., it didn't matter in an instant, and at that time there was only anger left in his heart - nothing else, purely the anger of being a human being.
So, he didn't hesitate to make a move.
And when he succeeded in killing the bear demon and venting the anger in his heart, the channeling technique really gave him great rewards and growth—he had already clearly felt it at the time, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to examine it carefully.
The two eight-rank monsters have benefited him greatly.
Zhou Ang could now clearly feel that the aura in his body had obviously condensed and sublimated a lot more than before—according to Uncle Shi's original explanation, this seemed to have revealed a hint of rising.
According to Uncle Shi, one is to condense the qi into bundles, and the other is to boil like a full, if you can do these two things, even if you have completed the cultivation of the ninth order, you can swallow the pill and try to advance to the eighth order.
And now, Zhou Ang obviously felt that he had completed the first part, that is, the condensation of qi into bundles, and the second part was full of boiling water, because he would insist on cultivating and refining his body every day, although he had been a little sluggish because of the blow he had suffered recently, but it seemed to be almost the same as the standard of "boiling full".
In other words, it seems that he is only a faint line away from being promoted to the eighth order!
In fact, Zhou Ang felt that with today's harvest and "guidance", even if he didn't do anything anymore and only cultivated steadily, then he would be about twenty days away from the consummation of being promoted to the eighth order, that is, he would be about twenty days away from normal cultivation, that is, he would routinely absorb the aura of heaven and earth every day.
It's purely a very intuitive feeling from myself.
In fact, when Uncle Zheng taught, he never taught what level was considered perfection or anything like that, Zhou Ang asked later, but he was hit hard by the analogy of a drop of water beaten by Uncle Zheng.
But Zhou Ang knew that this feeling was real.
After inspecting the condition of the aura in his body, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath, still with a smile on his face, and at the same time sighed softly: "The effect is really remarkable! It seems that the monster is worthy of being the mortal enemy of mankind!"
After a pause, he thought to himself, "And my judgment is not wrong, the corpse of the monster is indeed just some scraps in the harvest for me." Channeling is the real big head. ”
"Of course, this time is somewhat exceptional, this time, in addition to the guidance technique, that precious demon yuan is also a more important harvest. ”
"Because of the demon element, it means the demon law! Once I find a suitable carrier and successfully fuse it into it, it means that I can have at least two more spells in my hand!"
Thinking of this, his heart moved, he reached into his arms, took out the cloth bag hidden in his arms, and did not unlock the prohibition he had set, but just tried to use his aura to perceive the situation of this demon yuan.
After a moment, his face was stunned, and he immediately showed ecstasy.
"What a surprise!" he said.
After investigation, he found that in addition to the two spells of "Obstacle" and "Falling Stone" that the roe demon had already shown during the battle just now, this demon element actually contained a third spell.
According to the information contained in the demon element, the "obstacle" seems to be the most powerful spell of the roe demon, probably the moment it becomes a demon, that is, the moment it has the demon element, it is already possessed, in addition, it is the "falling stone", which is slightly weaker than the "obstacle".
And the third spell contained in its demon element, although it is much weaker than the "falling stone", it seems that it has just been obtained, but this spell is extremely novel.
Because this spell seems to be ...... Release the poison gas!
It's new!
Ever since Zhou Ang finished his cultivation, he had never heard of this kind of spell in the world!
According to the information detected, the "poisonous gas" technique contained in the demon element of this roe deer demon is urged by the aura to give birth to a colorless and odorless gas, and once this gas is inhaled, it may not be a big problem in a short time, but if you inhale a little more, for a little longer, this poisonous gas will cause people to have serious hallucinations - visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, cranky thoughts in the head, and so on.
Of course, what the specific effect will be, Zhou Ang is not sure now, because he can only detect some basic energy existing in the demon element through the aura.
And in fact, when he was fighting just now, Zhou Ang had no way of knowing whether the roe deer demon had used this demon technique, because the battle was too fast from the beginning to the end, even if this demon technique was used, it was likely that the effect had not yet come out at all, and the battle was already over.
The specific situation can only wait for it to be fused into a certain artifact to form a magic weapon in the future, and then it can be slowly tested.
And no matter what the effect of this spell was, it was enough to be called a surprise to Zhou Ang - he soon realized that if this "poisonous gas" was combined with "Obstacle" and the illusion he had now mastered, it was likely to produce an unexpectedly powerful effect.
