Chapter 152: Ghost Hunting (1)
The weather is getting colder and colder, and winter has finally arrived.
This year's winter has been particularly cold, and often after a snowfall, the whole world is covered in snow.
Fortunately, the weather finally cleared up in the past two days, and the warm sun finally dispelled the chill in the distance.
Jiang Yuan lay comfortably on a wicker chair in the practice room, watching the tree demon Lin Yulin play with her puppy.
During this time, Pengcheng's rudder has become the second chief rudder of the Star Demon Sea, and the surrounding rudders have also been conquered one by one, and only some places that are still far away from Pengcheng are still fighting against Pengcheng.
After two months of busy crusades, at this time, Jiang Yuan could finally take a good rest.
After all, Peng Cheng's rudder has a weak foundation, and he can attack the surrounding forces, relying on Jiang Yuan's absolute force. Now that it has expanded to this point, it is already the limit of Pengcheng's rudder.
At this point, it's time to stop attacking and stabilizing the interior.
In this upheaval in the Star Demon Sea, there were countless casualties, but this was what Jiang Yuan and Fei Qianqian had to do.
Only by completely controlling the surrounding forces can they obtain all the information and resources that the two want.
More and more gangsters began to find out if the remnants of the Winged Sect had escaped into Pengcheng's sphere of influence, and one map after another, marked with demons and ghosts, was also sent to Jiang Yuan's hands.
This kind of work is not enough to rely on Jiang Yuan and Fei Qianqian, and it requires a large number of people to complete it.
The map of the distribution of demons and ghosts spread out on the ground in the practice room, and Jiang Yuan examined these places.
Now that Peng Cheng's power expansion has stopped, he should also go out to hunt demons and ghosts to enhance his strength.
There are very few ghosts around Pengcheng, and more places haunted by demons are often located in remote places.
Those remote places, firstly, there are no masters in charge, and secondly, it is not easy for outsiders to know about something, so such a place is the easiest place to become a gathering place for demons and ghosts.
Jiang Yuan is eyeing these places.
He needs to discern from the information gathered from all over the world which places are dangerous, where they can get high returns, and where the rumors of demons and ghosts are false.
Just when Jiang Yuan was carefully distinguishing and making a difficult choice, the voices of two little girls came from near the practice room, from Li Siyan and Chen Yin.
Jiang Yuan's ears were abnormally sensitive, and he soon heard Li Siyan's words:
"Chen Yin, do you think my father-in-law will have dinner with us today? He always rarely goes home, and even when he comes back, he hides in the practice room all day, and it is really difficult to see him. ”
Chen Yin asked:
"Second sister, what do you want to do? Is it the thing you want to tell your father-in-law, Mr. Ti Zhuo? Besides, what's there to see in this snow year after year?"
Li Siyan retorted:
"You are really a bun! We are no longer country girls, but the young ladies of the Jiang family! We have to do something that a young lady should do, this is not called 'watching the snow', it is called 'appreciating the snow'! In the quiet night of the mountain villa, the bright moon hangs high, drinking hot tea and watching the mountains and forests in the snow, this is called 'Fengya'! Oh! Do you want to go?"
Chen Yin continued:
"But...... Yugong Villa is so far away from Pengcheng, my father-in-law will definitely not agree. ”
Li Siyan also said distressedly:
"Yes, my father-in-law is so busy, he won't accompany us. Other sons and ladies have their fathers and mothers to accompany them to play, I really envy them......"
Chen Yin's voice also weakened:
"Me ...... too"
......
Jiang Yuan's heart moved when he heard this, and he looked for the Jade Bow Villa they said on the map, and soon he found the target.
Yugong Villa is located near a small city called Kangcheng a hundred miles south of Peng County, and Jade Bow Villa is also the property of a martial arts family, which has always been closely related to the Star Demon Sea, and it is not too far from Peng County.
Therefore, in the midst of this upheaval in the Star Demon Sea, Jade Bow Villa quickly expressed its willingness to obey Pengcheng's rudder.
On top of that, there have been rumors of ghosts near Cannes.
Jiang Yuan thought for a while, got up and walked out of the practice room.
After passing through the empty courtyard around the practice room, he stepped through a moon cave door and saw Li Siyan and Chen Yin, two children who had been talking in distress behind the door.
Chen Yin is relatively simple, with almost no makeup on her face, let alone jewelry. The petite body wears a cotton jacket with a dull tone, although the cotton jacket material is good, but the style not only does not highlight the youthful vitality, but looks slightly old-fashioned.
Li Siyan, on the other hand, is obviously much more dressed up, she wears a white mink fur, and her body looks slim and slim. The hair on his head is very delicately coiled, and there is a jasper hairpin inserted on it. The already beautiful face is carefully made up, and it looks even more glamorous than this age.
When the two saw Jiang Yuan, they were both overjoyed, and shouted in unison:
"Father-in-law!"
Jiang Yuan came to them, touched their heads and smiled:
"I heard what you said just now, what did your teacher, Mr. Zhuo, say?"
The previous teacher who taught four children died in the plague, and this Mr. Zhuo was a newly hired teacher named Zhuo Yiming, but his teaching method was to like to gather all his disciples together to teach.
When Chen Yin heard Jiang Yuan's words, as if a little secret had been revealed, she lowered her head nervously and didn't dare to make a sound.
And Li Siyan took Jiang Yuan's hand and said:
"Father-in-law, we have a senior brother who is the son of Jade Bow Villa, and he invited all Mr. Zhuo and all his students to his house. Mr. Zhuo also agreed, but said that the disciples must be accompanied by their parents before they can go. Stepfather...... I heard that the scenery of Yugong Mountain Villa is very beautiful on a snowy day! Many brothers and sisters are accompanied by their parents, and we also want to go to ......."
After finishing speaking, Li Siyan opened her big eyes full of pleading and looked at Jiang Yuan with a pitiful look.
Chen Yin also seems to have the same idea as Li Siyan, but she doesn't dare to learn from Li Siyan's posture.
Jiang Yuan smiled:
"Okay, I happen to be free during this time, so I'll accompany you to be a guest. By the way, will Qianluo and Ding Ze go?"
When Chen Yin and Li Siyan heard this, they immediately shouted in surprise.
Li Siyan followed and said:
"Father-in-law, eldest sister and fourth brother are busy practicing martial arts all day long, I have already asked them, so they don't want to go. Also, the other brothers and sisters have already left for Yugong Villa today, and we have to hurry up! Otherwise, it will be rude and embarrassing to visit behind them. ”
Jiang Yuan patted Li Siyan's head and said:
"You all pack up, and I need to arrange it on my side. In this way, we will be on our way early tomorrow morning, and we will not be later than those brothers and sisters of yours. ”
When the two little girls heard this, they immediately hurried away happily and went to pack their bags in a hurry.
Jiang Yuan came to the guest hall and ordered his subordinates to summon Cen Lei.
Cen Lei and Qi Yuxing were both the deputy altar masters of the Red Tiger Altar, and after Jiang Yuan took charge of Pengcheng, Cen Lei's position had been turned positive.
This subordinate is steady, and people know how to advance and retreat. Although the strength of the Four Extremes Realm was slightly weaker at the beginning, he was also a talent.
This also gave Jiang Yuan the intention of promoting him, and Jiang Yuan also released his authority to some of the martial arts cheats in the rudder that he was not qualified to watch.
Cen Lei was very grateful for this, and began to work hard for Jiang Yuan.
After a while, Cen Lei soon came to the guest hall:
"Subordinates meet Lord Jiang Helm!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, signaling that he didn't need to be polite:
"I'm going to Jade Bow Villa, and I'm leaving early tomorrow morning. You don't have to bother to arrange it. ”
Now that Pengcheng's sphere of influence is not very stable, people of the level of elders still need to stay and sit in the town, and they can't move lightly.
Cen Lei nodded and replied:
"Jade Bow Villa is located in Cannes, and there is also our branch in Cannes. The subordinates immediately released the pigeon to inform the owner of the altar in Cannes, so that he could receive him. And here, the subordinates will lead the Red Tiger Altar brothers and the Jiang Duo Lord to accompany the guards. ”
Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and Cen Lei left immediately.
Jiang Yuan was the only one left in the guest hall, his fingers lightly tapping on the table, and he was thinking about the information about the demons and ghosts in Kangcheng:
"An ogre who fell from the sky...... A powerful ghost in the ancient temple in the deep mountains...... I hope this trip doesn't disappoint me. ”
The information of the demons in Cannes has been marked on the map, and there are two cases in total.
In the first case, it was rumored that in the middle of the night, winged demons descended from the sky to prey on living people in the city.
However, this demon rarely appears, and although it causes serious panic each time, there are not many living people preyed on by it, and it has not been seen since last year, so it has not attracted excessive attention from the Cannes Night Watch, and even the Cannes Night Guard believes that this demon has migrated.
It is even rumored that the huge flame demon that appeared once in Pengcheng was actually transformed by this winged demon after migrating to Pengcheng.
For this legend, Jiang Yuan could only laugh at it.
In the second case, there was an ancient temple in the mountains near Cannes, and no one knows when it was built, and it was originally peaceful. But since seven years ago, all the woodcutters and hunters who stayed at the ancient temple have mysteriously disappeared.
It is rumored that someone once saw a ghost wandering in the ancient temple from a distance, but it was impossible to distinguish the authenticity.
Because the ancient temple is located in the deep mountains, inaccessible, the panic and damage caused are very limited, so the night patrol of Cannes listed it as a murderous place, and after erecting a monument to warn, there is no action.
For these two pieces of information, Jiang Yuan attaches more importance to the latter one.
The winged demon hadn't appeared for a year, and no one knew if it was still in Cannes.
And the latter ancient temple will not run away on its own long legs, as long as Jiang Yuan goes, he will definitely be able to gain something.
The world of the Ghost Gate is too weird, and entering it to hunt demons and ghosts, Jiang Yuan can't be sure whether he will encounter danger or find nothing.
He had also approached Princess Youyue to inquire, and according to her, that place was already very dangerous for Jiang Yuan. One of the king's men is good at divination, and he must be able to figure out who killed Poison Feather.
If Jiang Yuan ventures in again, he will inevitably be intercepted by the forces of the King of Phong.
Jiang Yuan didn't fully believe this statement. After all, Princess Youyue will also have a lot of careful thoughts for the sake of the tree demon Lin Yulin.
If it weren't for the need to enter the ghost gate world in the future, if Princess Youyue had been able to open the ghost door, Jiang Yuan would have already accepted Princess Youyue's ghost energy.
However, for dangerous things, it is better to believe it than not, so Jiang Yuan also temporarily gave up entering the ghost gate world.
In addition to the ghost gate world, there are too many demons and ghosts in too many places in this world, and there is no need to venture to unknown places.
Therefore, on this trip to Yugong Villa, Jiang Yuan also had this thought.
