Chapter 270 The Daily Life of the Guarding Department
In Hongye City, a new envoy has arrived.
The news quickly spread throughout the local spiritual circles.
However, it did not cause any big waves.
The Tian Clan in the city, the Jinchan Tower outside the city, and the Doujin Sect, these three major forces have not expressed their stance...
The cultivating family headed by them, the Immortal Sect, would not show any eagerness and send people to visit Shen Mo.
The local casual cultivators are also inextricably linked with various cultivating families and immortal sects.
For example, many casual cultivators who guard the city receive monthly salary from the Tian family.
Or, earn meager resources from the industry of a cultivating family or immortal sect.
Even if I want to enter the garrison department, I still have many concerns!
Therefore, in the past few days since Shen Mo arrived in Hongye City, it seemed that nothing had changed.
At this time, Shen Mo seemed to have no intention of changing the status quo.
Every day, I will raise my Dharma Eyes without leakage and inspect the surroundings.
Many cultivating families with certain strength, such as Tian Family, Jin Chan Tower, Dou Jin Sect, etc., Xiaoxian Sect, and the hinterland have arranged formation restrictions.
In the clear vision, only thick fog can be seen!
Of course, Shen Mo does not need to pay too much attention to the safety of these forces.
They have their own clansmen and disciples, who fight against evil spirits and protect the peace of their own practice places.
The focus of Shen Mo's attention is on the large areas in the mist that are not protected by formations...
Towns and villages where secular mortals gather.
Avenues and trails, lakes and streams, wild mountains and forests, etc., are many areas with life activities.
All this hard work was not in vain, and he discovered several strange things.
Shen Mo personally took action and successfully killed several evil cultivators of the Body Forging Realm hiding in the village.
In addition, a first-order heavenly demon who was infected with demons was also discovered!
This demon lurked from nowhere and infected a woodcutter in a remote mountain village.
Moreover, this devil is quite cunning.
He did not attack his wife and children at home, nor did he devour the mortal villagers in the mountain village.
While going into the mountains to cut firewood, he kept devouring the birds and beasts in the mountains, as well as the weak monsters.
Shen Mo discovered the clues only after the mountain life began to wither.
Wait for him to arrive and take a look at the bone-gazing mirror. The clear light turns into a strange red light.
Only then did the demon realize that he couldn't hide it, and exuded a strong demonic aura, hoping to fight Shen Mo to the death.
By devouring the creatures in the mountains, it actually advanced to the middle stage of the second level.
Even if the entire garrison monks in the city are sent here, they probably won't be able to kill it. Instead, they will become its blood food in the later stages of its advancement.
It's a pity that this devil woodcutter met Shen Mo!
With one strike of Senluo Sword, it died suddenly on the spot.
There is only a human corpse that has been mutated by the demonic nature, and a cloud of cold, cold demonic aura that has collapsed.
Killing the mutated demon didn't take much effort on Shen Mo's part.
On the contrary, when the woodcutter's body was sent back to the mountain village to deal with the funeral arrangements, he was quite embarrassed.
Neither the woodcutter’s wife, nor the villagers in the village believed that the woodcutter, who had always been honest and honest, was actually an evil demon who devoured all living beings.
Intimidated by Shen Mo's status as an "immortal master", they did not dare to act presumptuously.
But the confusion, confusion and hatred in his eyes cannot be faked!
The demon’s soul and body are all in one body.
The woodcutter’s original soul was also swallowed up by the demon.
When the body dies, the soul also dies.
Shen Mo was unable to cast the soul-binding spell, so he captured the remaining soul of the corpse so that he could show it to his wife, children, and villagers.
Fortunately, the woodcutter's body was no longer a human being.
Shen Mo opened his body and explained patiently.
His wife, children, villagers and other people were convinced of this incident and turned around to be grateful to "Master Shen Xian".
After returning to Hongye Town as Chief Supervisor, Shen Mo resumed his usual practice rhythm.
Use [Martial Arts] to practice various exercises, refine elixirs, and make talismans...
However, here, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, completely incomparable to Linjiang Sect’s inner gate cave.
Even compared with the outer door area, it is still inferior!
As soon as Shen Mo circulates the "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra", a huge vortex of spiritual energy will be formed, depriving the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This caused the four people in the body-forging realm, including the guarding department, Zhu Dahai, and others, to cry out in mourning.
They originally lacked elixirs to assist their practice.
Now, even the meager spiritual energy of the Guarding Division has been taken away by the new commander, and he cannot snatch it away.
This made their already slow practice almost come to a standstill.
Inside Zhu Dahai's house.
Four people in the body-forging realm gathered together.
Even Tian Shouren, an old monk, was invited over.
Zhu Dahai dug hard, took out a crumpled talisman from his arms, and stuck it on the door.
As the dim aura lights up.
He then turned around and sighed: "Mr. Tian, colleagues, Commander Shen should not be able to hear what we are saying."
"If you have any ideas, tell me!"
"Should I continue to stay at the Garrison Department... or should I quit this job and find another way to make a living?"
Tian Shouren held the wine gourd and took a sip happily.
The gourd contained a lot of fine wine from Hongye City. The pot of spiritual wine Shen Mo presented to him was mixed with it.
He regarded it as a treasure, and even the four fellow guards who worked with him were reluctant to part with them.
After a wine burp, Tian Shouren said slowly: "I don't have much life left in this old man. If I die... I will only live another twenty or thirty years."
“I don’t want to bother anymore!”
"You juniors still have hope for further progress. You can decide for yourself whether you want to stay or leave."
After saying that, he went to himself and sipped the wine, showing an attitude of not mixing it up.
When Zhu Dahai and others heard this, they stopped paying attention to him.
Let's discuss it.
"Brother Zhu, I came to this garrison office just to have a place to live and practice.
"And...the monthly salary which is not generous."
"But over the years, my monthly salary has always been in arrears, and even if it is paid, it is often insufficient."
"The new envoy Shen Zhang doesn't seem to have any intention of making up for his monthly salary, let alone the slightest intention to boost the prestige of the Guarding Division!"
"Now, even the meager spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been snatched away by him."
"If I stay in the garrison department, I can't see my future."
"I'll go find Master Shen to say goodbye later!" A square-faced monk said.
Zhu Dahai nodded, he also thought so.
Immediately, he looked at the other two people in the body-forging realm.
To Zhu Dahai's surprise, no one of the remaining two people had any plans to leave.
The reasons are mostly.
I have no connections and can’t find any other livelihood.
And if you stay here, you can still get some monthly salary, no matter how small it is, it is still a cultivation resource after all.
It is much better than being left outside and working hard to make a living!
Zhu Dahai sighed softly.
I don’t mean to look down on them. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, so we can’t force them to leave together.
Moreover, he doesn’t know where to make a living after leaving the Garrison Department?
If he could find a good job if he had connections, why would he come to guard the office and live alone!
The decision is made.
Zhu Dahai and the square-faced monk were ready to go find Shen Mo.
At this moment, Shen Mo's voice suddenly sounded outside the house: Fellow Taoists, please come to the main hall to talk!
