Chapter 48: The Murderous Land (5)

The remaining ghosts were easily eliminated by Jiang Yuan.

In the end, Jiang Yuan woke up the middle-aged man who had fainted with fright:

"Hey, it's time to go!"

After the middle-aged man sobered up, he was so frightened that he stayed away from Jiang Yuan again and again:

"What kind of demon are you?!"

"Demon you're big!" Jiang Yuan gave the middle-aged man a slap to make him sober up, "Lao Tzu is the head catcher of Yangcheng who fights violence and saves people with righteousness, come with me!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan picked up the middle-aged man and returned to the original path like a chicken.

The eastern sky was already white, and the shimmer had brightened the surroundings.

Jiang Yuan returned to the bushes, and the ugly-looking woman was still standing there holding the pipa.

When passing by the woman's side, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask:

"The sun is coming out, aren't you hiding?"

The woman shook her head:

"Everyone is gone, and I should be gone...... We should have run out of ......."

Jiang Yuan glanced at her twice, and then continued to walk forward with the middle-aged man.

Among the demons and ghosts, in addition to Sun Xiaohe, this woman is the second he has ever seen.

There are exceptions to everything, and among the demons, they are also rare outliers.

Jiang Yuan had already harvested enough ghost qi tonight, and there was no shortage of this wisp, so Jiang Yuan didn't care about her.

As he gradually moved away from the woman, the middle-aged man who had calmed down couldn't help but ask:

"Who is she?"

Jiang Yuan opened his mouth and replied:

"She is the benefactor who saved your son...... It's a ghost. ”

"Ghost?!" the middle-aged man was startled.

In the end, the middle-aged man couldn't help but look back at the woman.

I saw that the woman was still standing silently, as if waiting calmly.

The morning sun peeks out from the top of the mountain, and the golden sunlight pierces the morning mist and sprinkles over the overgrown wilderness.

The woman looked up at the rising sun.

The warm sunlight shone all over her body, and wisps of green smoke rose from her body.

Under the frightened gaze of the middle-aged man, the woman was shattered little by little and disappeared.

In the early morning, the wilderness is vigorous, and the thick weeds weave like a green carpet, who would have thought that after nightfall, this place will be a terrifying place.

The two walked through the wilderness and continued in the direction of the manor.

The sun rises higher and higher, and the wind is warm, dispelling the cold, making people feel warm.

On the way, the middle-aged man kept asking about his wife and children.

Jiang Yuan was too lazy to say.

The morning breeze brought the fragrance of tea trees, a gentle slope appeared in the sight of the two, and in the distance, the verdant tea mountains.

The manor is not far away, just after the gentle slope.

When the two of them walked up the gentle slope, they saw the manor under the slope and the people who were already waiting outside the manor.

The breeze was gentle, and the flowers and plants on the slope and the hair and beard of the middle-aged man swayed.

A group of young men working in the tea house suddenly burst into cheers.

Seeing this scene, Boss Cai couldn't help but say happily and angrily:

"These mud legs...... They dared to coerce me last night, and I must deduct their wages! But ...... It's good if people are okay...... It's okay......"

The middle-aged man looked at his wife and daughter who walked out of the crowd, covering his face and crying silently, but his slightly rickety body had a feeling that he could take any responsibility.

Jiang Yuan and the middle-aged man walked down the gentle slope.

The woman pounced on the little boy with her arms, and the middle-aged man held them quietly in his arms.

The husband and wife blamed each other, and at the same time confided in each other their worries.

The boy who was held by the couple, although he didn't know much about this, saw his father and mother crying, so he cried with him.

Jiang Yuan also showed a rare smile.

This feeling...... Not bad, actually......

The elegant and handsome Lu Junsheng walked in front of Jiang Yuan:

"The ghost handprint on Xiaolong's body disappeared, and I knew that Brother Jiang had succeeded. There is softness in everyone's heart, and the truth is even more touching. Take virtue as a teacher, live up to the ...... of this life"

Jiang Yuan looked at Lu Junsheng and shook his head:

"It's so pathetic, moral, to be so restrictive. ”

Lu Junsheng was willing to use the precious Amethyst Orchid as a price to save irrelevant ordinary people, which was really not worth it in Jiang Yuan's opinion.

"It should be gratifying!" Lu Junsheng said with a smile, "Happily, morality, it can still bind people." ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

.............................................................................

Yangcheng, Night Guard Office.

After a busy night, Xia Mingxuan finally walked out of the study.

The bright sunlight shone on his body, but fatigue began to flood his body.

A night watchman standing guard outside the study stepped forward and bowed and said:

"Lord Captain, Lord Zhou asked to see him last night, and he has been waiting in the side room for a long time. ”

Xia Mingxuan's face was full of doubts when he heard this:

"Zhou Cunjian, why did he come to me...... Why didn't you report it quickly when the county lieutenant asked to see him?"

The Night Watch hurriedly replied:

"It was Lord Zhou who said that there was no need to rush to report, and that you would go to see him when you were done. ”

Xia Mingxuan waved his hand:

"Got it, I'll go see him. ”

The side room was reluctant to be far from the study, and Xia Mingxuan soon came to the outside of the room.

But the door was closed, leaving only a gap.

Xia Mingxuan pushed open the door, only to see that all the windows in the house were closed, blocking the sunlight and making the room dark and deep.

"Lord Zhou?"

Xia Mingxuan walked into the room and shouted.

I waited for a long time, but no one answered.

Xia Mingxuan shook his head, could it be that Zhou Cunjian had already left?

Just as he was about to leave, a faint voice suddenly sounded behind the screen:

"Natsu-sama......"

Xia Mingxuan asked suspiciously:

"Lord Zhou, don't you have something to look for me, what are you doing behind the screen?"

Zhou Cunjian's voice continued to come from behind the screen:

"Lord Xia, close the door quickly, I have something confidential to tell you. ”

Xia Mingxuan frowned, but still closed the door and plugged the latch.

As the door closes, the room becomes darker and darker, and even in the daytime, it gives people a gloomy and cold feeling.

"Lord Zhou, if you have anything, just say it. Xia Mingxuan began to get impatient.

Zhou Cunjian's voice still sounded behind the screen:

"Lord Xia, come here, I only tell you about this matter, come here!"

Xia Mingxuan suppressed his impatience and walked towards the back of the screen.

The corner behind the screen was even darker, and I saw Zhou Cunjian squatting in the dark, holding his knees and hanging his head, like a child.

"Lord Zhou," Xia Mingxuan asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhou Cunjian didn't say a word, still squatting in place.

Xia Mingxuan began to feel angry, is Zhou Cunjian deliberately playing with himself?

He stretched out his hand and grabbed it towards Zhou Cunjian's shoulder.

Seeing that his hand was about to touch Zhou Cunjian's body, Xia Mingxuan suddenly froze.

Then, he abruptly withdrew his hand, quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and threw the liquid inside towards Zhou Cunjian.

"Spiritual Blood!"

Zhou Cunjian's speed was even faster, and he jumped high from the ground suddenly, as agile as an ape.

The spiritual blood was scattered, Xia Mingxuan kicked the screen over, took out a bottle of spiritual blood again, and at the same time took out his waist knife and vigilantly looked for Zhou Cunjian's figure in the gloomy room.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey......"

An eerie laugh suddenly sounded overhead.

Xia Mingxuan raised his head, only to see Zhou Cunjian grasping the beams with both hands and feet, his head twisted to his back, and looking down at Xia Mingxuan on the ground with a smirk on his face.

At this time, Zhou Cunjian, where did he still have the appearance of the previous mighty county lieutenant, his mouth was open, mucus was constantly dripping from it, and his face was full of evil and demonic.

Xia Mingxuan was shocked, and hurriedly wanted to spill spiritual blood again.

However, at this time, Zhou Cunjian had already jumped down from the beam of the house and pounced on Xia Mingxuan directly below.

Xia Mingxuan's movements were already very fast, but he was still a little slower than Zhou Cunjian, who was extremely agile.

With a gust of fishy wind blowing on his face, Xia Mingxuan's whole person was pressed to the ground, and he secretly said in his heart: It's over......

"Phew!"

In the middle of this room, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Intense sunlight poured into the house from the outside in an instant.

Zhou Cunjian, who had just pressed Xia Mingxuan, was illuminated by the sun, screaming in pain, and bursts of white smoke rose from his body.

An old man with an extraordinary bearing stepped in from outside the house, and it was Fei Qingquan, the superintendent of the star:

"Who is the demon, dare to do something in my night guard office!"

Zhou Cunjian didn't care about Xia Mingxuan, and quickly jumped to the dark corner of the room to avoid the sunlight.

Xia Mingxuan proudly got up from the ground, he retreated to Fei Qingquan with a porcelain bottle in his hand, and stared vigilantly at Zhou Cunjian in the corner:

"He's got up. ”

Fei Qingquan's eyes flashed with anger:

"For many years, no demon dares to haunt Yangcheng, where did you come from?"

Zhou Cunjian in the corner slowly climbed up the vertical wall, his head twisted around, aimed at Fei Qingquan and said:

"Fei Qingquan, quickly prepare the living spirit in Yang City, and my master will come to collect it soon. ”

Fei Qingquan stepped forward and asked sharply:

"Who is the master of your house?"

Zhou Cunjian stared at Fei Qingquan and laughed maniacally:

"Hey, hey, hey, hey...... My master's name is Yingxiao, and I have an old friendship with your Fei family!"

When Fei Qingquan heard this name, his expression changed drastically.

Ying Xiao is one of the five leading demons of the Five Ghost Dao. Such a powerful demon really wants to come to Yangcheng......

Zhou Cunjian crawled slowly along the window lattice:

"Hey, hey, hey, you're scared, I can feel it, you're scared......!"

Fei Qingquan was annoyed and angry:

"Look for death!"

His body moved, with a agility that did not match his old appearance, and the whole person instantly came to Zhou Cunjian's side.

Fei Qingquan stretched out his arm, spread his five fingers, and stabbed into Zhou Cunjian's back.

The inheritance power in the bloodline surged wildly, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and in just a moment, Zhou Cunjian's whole person exploded with a "bang!"

In the blood mist, a wisp of black ghostly energy writhed like a black snake.

It felt the flesh and blood of a living person, and instantly flew towards Xia Mingxuan.

Fei Qingquan snorted coldly and slammed the window next to him.

The sunlight from outside the house enveloped the ghostly energy, which writhed wildly like a wounded insect.

In just an instant, the ghost energy vanished in the sunlight.

Xia Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and stepped forward to thank Fei Qingquan:

"Thank you, sir. ”

Fei Qingquan's face was still ugly:

"Immediately let all the night guards, servants, and defenders shrink into the city, and at the same time strictly investigate the city and sweep away the hidden demons!"

"Subordinates obey orders!" Xia Mingxuan said, "Those five ghost paths are really coming-"

"Shut up!" Fei Qingquan interrupted, "There has been an order from above to strictly guard the bronze coffin, and we will guard it desperately, and we must not let it fall into the hands of demons!"

Xia Mingxuan wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't say it.
