Wei Changtian didn't even need to take action again. The rat demon quickly died under the siege of Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng.
This beast was quite interesting. At the last second before he died, he didn't want to fight back. Instead, he jumped onto an open box of silver. In the end, he hugged several silver ingots and closed his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Wei Changtian and Zhou Cheng unconsciously looked at Xu Qingwan again. The latter suddenly changed back to his silly look, with a red face and lowered his head in silence.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wei Changtian laughed twice, kicked the rat demon's body off the silver, and picked out the demon pill with his knife.
It is the size of a quail egg and is completely dark in color. It must have been around forty years old.
This black demon pill is not very popular. Compared with other demon pills of the same size and different colors, it is 30 to 40% cheaper.
But this has nothing to do with Wei Changtian and the others. They will have to hand it over when they get back anyway, and they won't get a penny from it.
"Brother Wei, do we still want to check the rat demon's hole?"
Zhou Cheng had already opened the door of the money bank at this time, and the fresh night breeze diluted the smell of blood in the room.
"Let's see if it gives birth to cubs."
Wei Changtian nodded and commanded: "Call the people from Zhang's house and ask them to check the well by themselves. We will just keep watch from above."
"good."
Zhou Cheng walked out of the money bank to call for help, and Xu Qingwan also put away her knife and prepared to go out.
But she soon discovered that Wei Changtian was still standing there motionless, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you leave?"
"I have something else to do, please go out first."
"what's the matter?"
"..."
Wei Changtian didn't answer, just smiled and said nothing.
Xu Qingwan realized that Wei Changtian didn't want to tell her, so she hesitated and stopped asking, and just whispered:
"Then be careful, I'll be guarding you outside the door."
"If you need my help, just call and I will come in soon."
"Well, I understand."
Wei Changtian nodded and watched Xu Qingwan walk out of the vault, while gently closing the door.
She didn't close the door completely, probably thinking that she could rush in as soon as possible if something happened.
Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and do what you should do.
Look! This is what an excellent housewife should look like!
Unlike Lu Jingyao, she would not do anything else except make herself angry!
Hmm... I can't say that. At least I can sort out the manuscript.
Wei Changtian thought wildly for a while, then turned his attention again to the rat demon next to him, which was already on its back.
Finally, I can experiment with "catching monsters"!
Sit down cross-legged, take a deep breath, and slowly start to use your magical powers.
Within a few breaths, something magical happened.
The originally lifeless monster corpse suddenly trembled slightly, and then a milky white mist rose up from its body, immediately surrounding Wei Changtian.
The mist seemed to be attracted by something, desperately trying to penetrate Wei Changtian's body through the pores.
But it's a pity that most of them couldn't get in, so they had to be gathered together and finally compressed into a small crystal orb.
The surroundings quickly returned to normal, and the demon corpse was still the same, just a little shriveled up than before.
"..."
After absorbing it, Wei Changtian did not stand up immediately. Instead, he meditated for about an hour before slowly opening his eyes.
Awesome!
Really awesome!
Just a monster with forty years of Dao practice has allowed me to improve my cultivation level by nearly a year, jumping directly from the middle stage of seventh level to the late stage of seventh level!
According to this speed, if only seven or eight more are killed, it is estimated that we can completely break through the seventh level and reach the sixth level of "releasing internal power to the outside"!
The sight of Xu Qingwan and Zhou Cheng surrounded by sword energy appeared in his mind, and Wei Changtian couldn't help but yearn for it, wishing he could kill the next monster right away.
"Snatching the demon head" is so exciting!
It can not only improve your cultivation level quickly, but also earn system points. There is also the Demon Spirit Pill... Huh? Where is the Demon Spirit Pill?
Suddenly remembering this, he quickly looked around, and then found the crystal clear orb at his feet.
They are smaller than the two that Xiao Feng gave to Yangliu Shi, and it is estimated that the Taoism contained in them should be less than twenty years old.
That's pretty good. You can't be too greedy.
He happily put the Demon Spirit Pill away, got up and walked to the door of the money bank.
As expected, Xu Qingwan was guarding here very seriously, and Zhang Dajin, who looked worried, stood next to him.
Seeing Wei Changtian come out, he hurriedly thanked him, but his eyes couldn't help but glance into the money bank.
Wei Changtian knew what he was thinking and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Master Zhang, do you want to go in and count the money and belongings?"
"Ah! My lord, the common people would never mean this!"
Zhang Dajin waved his hands repeatedly: "The three adults are my saviors, even if they are generals..."
"Okay, I didn't take anything from you."
Wei Changtian rolled his eyes and interrupted: "I am working as an errand in the Xuanjing Division. How could I covet people's property?"
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is indeed a good official with high moral integrity and dedicated to serving the people!"
Zhang Dajin kept flattering, but in his heart he thought of the three demon pills taken away by Wei Changtian. For a moment, the smile on his face was uglier than crying.
Wei Changtian ignored him and raised his eyes to look at the situation in the courtyard.
The warrior sent by the Zhang family into the well had just come up at this time, and his face was very ugly.
Zhang Dajin was the first to run over and asked anxiously: "How's it going? Have you found the rat demon's cave?!"
"Sir, I found it. It's less than a foot above the water."
Wu Ren took a deep breath and reported truthfully: "There are no monsters in it, but there is..."
"have what?"
"There are more than a dozen white bones, and there are quite a few scattered at the bottom of the well. I can't tell how many exactly..."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings became extremely quiet.
The faces of the Zhang family members surrounding him suddenly turned pale, and some of them could not help but bend over and retching.
Human bones were soaked in the water that I usually drank, so it was normal to have such a reaction.
But unlike them, Wei Changtian and the three of them looked at each other at this time, and they all noticed something wrong in Wu Ren's words.
Zhang Dajin reported in the afternoon that only a few servants were missing, but now there were at least a dozen corpses.
Either the rat demon dragged people from elsewhere to eat it, or there was another hidden reason behind it.
Xu Qingwan wanted to investigate, but Zhou Cheng suggested leaving the matter alone.
Wei Changtian finally made a more compromise decision - privately informing the county government officials who came to settle the matter.
If they want to check, they can check. If they don't check, there is nothing they can do.
Anyway, my main job is to slay demons, so I might as well forget about investigating crimes, which is a waste of time and brings little profit.
After settling the matter, it was already midnight. They refused Zhang Dajin's kind invitation to stay, and the three of them decided to go to the official post office in Nanling County to rest for a night.
Sitting on the speeding carriage, Wei Changtian smiled and took out the three demon pills that had been "accidentally" put into his arms and began to "divide the spoils."
He and Zhou Cheng both consciously took a relatively cheap black demon pill and took the initiative to leave the red one for Xu Qingwan.
But Comrade Xiao Xu started to get entangled at this time.
Just like the last time I was in Zhangfu Treasure House, I obviously wanted it, but I thought it was ill-gotten gains...
After being like this for a long time, she tugged at the corner of Wei Changtian's clothes as if asking for help.
"That, that..."
Huh? Money laundering again?
understood!
Wei Changtian understood this and immediately grabbed the demon pill and stuffed it into Xu Qingwan's arms: "Is this... uh, what reason are you looking for this time?"
"It's the token of love you gave me." Xu Qingwan reminded in a low voice.
"Oh yes!"
Wei Changtian said seriously: "This is the token of love I gave you, you must accept it!"
"OK!"
Xu Qingwan happily put away the demon pill and showed a satisfied smile.
Wei Changtian was already accustomed to Xu Qingwan's "unnecessary actions", but this was the first time he saw Zhou Cheng, and he was dumbfounded for a moment.
Good guy!
I can't think of any other reason for the two of you to put your left hand over your right hand, except that you are deliberately showing affection!
Don’t wait for this carriage!
"Plop!"
A black shadow suddenly jumped down from the carriage.
Wei Changtian stuck his head out of the car window, looked at Zhou Cheng who was running next to the carriage and asked doubtfully: "Brother Zhou, what are you doing?"
"me……"
Zhou Cheng was out of breath and angrily replied: "I would rather die of exhaustion! I don't want to suffer this cowardice again!"
