"There were indeed evil spirits near the well."
Shen Changqing nodded.
Just from the faint and ethereal aura of evil, one can be sure that there are traces of evil spirits.
Just saying.
Whether the evil spirit is still there is unknown.
Just at this time.
Shen Changqing looked at Liu Jian: "What kind of state is Liu Captou in now?"
State?
Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
“The humble position is now at the peak of physical training, but it is not yet at the point where the true energy can be generated by itself, which makes Lord Shen laugh!”
The peak of physical training!
In the world of martial arts, although he is not considered a strong person, he is still much more powerful than the average person.
Placed in Jincheng, it is more than enough to serve as the head catcher.
At Liu Jian's current age, there is a high probability that he will be able to generate his own Qi in the future, thereby advancing to the realm of Tongmai.
Such an achievement is actually not too bad.
In the past.
Liu Jian would not feel inferior to his own strength.
But in front of a strong man like Shen Changqing, it was hard to explain the peak of physical training.
Hear the words.
Shen Changqing did not show any strange expression and smiled faintly: "Liu Captou doesn't need to belittle himself. From my point of view, there will be no problem in your promotion to Tongmai in the future.
Although there are many masters in the world, those who can reach the level of Tongmai are not weak.
Since Liu Captou has not been promoted to Tongmai for the time being, he will stay here and wait for now. If there is an evil spirit hiding in the well, it will not be easy to deal with."
Some words.
Shen Changqing said it very euphemistically.
On the other side, Liu Jian also understood the meaning of the other party's words.
It's just that my strength is too low. If there is an evil attack, I will become the cannon fodder for the sacrifice.
To this.
He did not feel humiliated, but was aware of Shen Changqing's good intentions, and there was a look of gratitude on his face.
“Master Shen, don’t worry, I know what to do.”
"good."
Shen Changqing nodded and said nothing more.
He looked at the well in front of him and walked over.
The closer we get.
The vague and sinister aura gradually became apparent.
By the time we reached the edge of the well, the Yin Qi had become very strong, causing the surrounding temperature to drop a lot.
It is just a lowering of temperature and has no big impact on Shen Changqing.
Just relying on the surging Qi and blood of the physical body, one is not afraid of the severe cold at all.
“What a strong yin energy!”
Shen Changqing's expression became solemn.
The yin energy is strong, so it is very likely that evil spirits still exist in the well.
He lowered his head and looked down. The well was bottomless, and a cool breath came from it.
for a long time.
There is no movement in the well.
Shen Changqing withdrew his gaze from the well and left the range of the well.
"How about it?"
“Although the Yinxie aura is strong, we have not noticed the whereabouts of the evil spirits. It is very likely that the evil spirits no longer exist. Let’s go to the next place to have a look.”
Shen Changqing shook his head.
Hear the words.
Liu Jian looked obviously relieved, but also seemed a little disappointed.
“The evil spirit is gone, and I don’t know where it will go to harm the people again.”
“Don’t think too much, if that evil spirit dares to cause trouble elsewhere, someone will naturally punish it.”
Shen Changqing comforted him.
See this.
Liu Jian didn’t think much about it.
Immediately, the two people left the well area and walked to other places.
Half a day’s work.
Liu Jian took Shen Changqing around almost all of Jincheng.
Unfortunately.
Not a single evil spirit was found.
Leaving another incident location, Liu Jian stopped.
"Mr. Shen, there are only a few places where evil spirits are suspected of killing people at night. I have to go back to the Yamen to resume my duties. I wonder if Master Shen wants to go back to the Yamen with Beizhi, or does he have his own plans?"
“Captain Liu, please go back by yourself. I’m a little tired after walking for so long. I might as well go back and have a rest.”
“That’s fine, I’ll take leave of that humble post first!”
Liu Captou clasped his fists and left.
the other side.
Shen Changqing looked at the sky and walked towards the first floor.
Go back to the first floor of Tianyi.
He asked someone to give him a basin of hot water, and instantly asked the waiter played by Tianchawei to tell him that he wanted to see Zhongchi.
It didn’t take long.
Zhongchi just opens the door and comes in.
“Master Shen.”
“Master Zhong is here.”
Seeing Zhongchi's arrival, Shen Changqing wrung out the towel in his hand, wiped the water on his face, and then discarded the towel in the basin.
Go to the table and sit down.
He poured himself a cup of tea.
“Has the news reached the Demon Suppressor?”
“I have already reported it back, but the capital is far away from Dahuang Mansion, so there is no way to deliver it in a short time.”
Zhong Chi looked startled. He thought Shen Changqing came to him for something.
Hear the words.
Shen Changqing shook his head: "I'm not talking about the Demon Suppressing Division in the capital, but the Demon Suppressing Division in Dahuang Mansion."
“Suppress the Demon Division in Dahuang Mansion!”
Zhongchi's expression changed slightly and he did not hesitate for too long.
“If Mr. Shen had not been in Jincheng, the Demon Suppression Department of Dahuang Prefecture would have sent strong men to deal with the evil incidents here.
But now that Master Shen is here, if the situation is not completely out of control, the Demon Suppression Division of Dahuang Mansion probably won't do anything.
In the final analysis, Dahuang Mansion’s Demon Suppression Division suffers heavy losses every year, and the number of strong men it can dispatch is extremely limited.”
“The loss is not light?”
Shen Changqing had a surprised look on his face.
“How many demon-suppressing divisions are there in Dahuang Mansion?”
“There are currently three Demon Suppressing Divisions in Dahuang Prefecture, but the powerful ones within the Demon Suppressing Divisions cannot compete with those in the capital.
Although Dahuang Mansion is vast, there are not many real geniuses.
The Demon Suppression Division of Dahuang Prefecture has been recruiting talented people within the house for so many years, but only a handful of them have been trained.
In addition, there have been many wars over the years, which has caused serious losses to the Demon Suppression Division. Now, the three Demon Suppression Divisions in Dahuang Prefecture combined cannot reach half of the Demon Suppression Division in the capital."
Zhongchi sighed.
The same goes for the Demon Suppressor, and there is no doubt that the Demon Suppressor in the capital is the most powerful.
Compared to.
The Demon Suppressing Division in Dahuang Prefecture is a bit unsatisfactory.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, the Demon Suppressing Division in the capital is the source of all the Demon Suppressing Divisions in Da Qin. Many of the powerful Demon Suppressing Divisions from various places were born in the capital. Naturally, their background is not comparable to that of the Demon Suppressing Divisions in other places.
Except.
Dahuang Prefecture has been at war for years, which is also a very serious problem.
Finished.
Zhongchi paused for a moment, then continued: "And judging from the information from the Tianchawei in Dahuang Mansion, chaos broke out not only in Jincheng, but also in other cities, there were more or less evils and troubles.
And as if it was agreed upon, it broke out almost at the same time.
Some cities had weak defenses, causing many casualties.
Like Jincheng, the losses are relatively light.
For this matter, almost all the demon-suppressing divisions from various places in Dahuang Prefecture came out and rushed to suppress the evil spirits, and there was no spare time to take care of the Jincheng side."
Hear this.
Shen Changqing finally understood why there was no movement from the Dahuang Mansion Demon Suppression Division for two days.
Although the capital is far away from here.
However, the Demon Suppression Division in Dahuang Prefecture must not be too far away from Jincheng.
Until now.
No powerful man from Dahuang Prefecture's Demon Suppression Division has arrived, so they obviously have other plans.
Combined with Zhongchi’s words, Shen Changqing understood that the situation of suppressing the Demon Division in Dahuang Mansion was not that easy.
“Mr. Zhong, do you know how many guardian envoys there are in Dahuang Prefecture’s Demon Suppression Division now?”
This is the foundation for a demon-suppressing commander to be able to stand on his own.
Hear the words.
Zhong Chi shook his head: "The level of guardian envoys is not something I can understand at my level. I only know that the three major demon-suppressing divisions all have guardian envoys, who are stationed in some important areas of Dahuang Mansion.
As to how many people there are specifically, I have no way of answering.”
“Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for clarifying my doubts.”
Shen Changqing nodded, and did not continue to ask about the Demon Suppression Division, but changed the topic.
“Does Tianchawei have any new news about the evil spirits in Jincheng?”
“We only know now that there are two evil forces in Jincheng. One is from the Eternal Alliance. Needless to say, there is no need to say more. The origin of the other has not been found out yet, and it will still take some time to find out.
Last night, Mr. Shen fought against the demons of the Eternal Life Alliance, causing the other party to suffer a big loss.
As long as Mr. Shen is still in charge of Jincheng, the Eternal Life Alliance should not dare to act recklessly without absolute certainty."
Zhongchi’s calm analysis.
While speaking, he also sincerely admired Shen Changqing's strength.
Not everyone can intimidate the demons of the Eternal Alliance on their own.
Finished.
Zhongchi paused for a moment and then said again.
“In addition, Xu Yi and several other trainee demon slayers have been found in Jincheng, about a hundred miles away from the capital. Their blood and essence were drained from their bodies, confirming that it was the work of evil spirits.
It can prevent a few Tongmai warriors from escaping and will be sucked dry of their essence and blood. They are most likely to be resentment-level monsters."
Shen Changqing looked calm.
Xu Yi and the others basically decided the outcome from the moment they disappeared.
Now that he is confirmed dead, it is normal.
"I see."
Shen Changqing just replied calmly.
Seeing this, Zhongchi said nothing and immediately stood up to leave.
soon.
Night falls.
Shen Changqing has been staying in the room, crossing his legs and closing his eyes to relax.
Bang!
Bang!!
The sound of the clock was heard on the street, and Shen Changqing opened his closed eyes.
Although the watchmen who were on duty yesterday all died at the hands of evil spirits.
But the city cannot be without watchmen. Even if all the watchmen in front of them die, a replacement must immediately follow.
As long as you give enough money.
Some people are able to suppress the fear of evil spirits in their hearts.
open the window.
With the help of the moonlight, you can see the leaving figure of the watchman. Shen Changqing jumped directly from the window and landed in the street.
After identifying the direction at will, we walked towards the direction of the well during the day.
at this time.
In the empty well, there was a dark figure with disheveled hair and an unclear appearance. He was drawing water from the well, holding a rope in his hand and pulling it up from the well little by little.
But no matter how hard the black shadow pulled, the rope seemed to have no end, and the water was never seen coming up.
