"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire!"
The watchman's voice sounded, followed by the sound of a wooden clapper.
After nightfall, the capital became much quieter.
There is a curfew in the capital itself. In addition, evil spirits have been rampant recently, so no one dares to go out at will.
Of course.
The enforcement of the curfew is limited to the outer cities only.
In the inner city, it is still very lively.
On the city wall, Shen Changqing was dressed in the uniform of the Demon Suppressor, silently watching everything below.
The hustle and bustle of the inner city.
The tranquility of the outer city.
A simple city wall, but it seems like two completely different worlds.
Regarding this.
He didn't pay too much attention either.
Whether it's the inner city or the outer city, it has nothing to do with me.
Now I just follow the orders of the Demon Suppressor to guard the inner city to prevent evil spirits from causing trouble.
Rotate every three days.
Shen Changqing only came to guard once every three days, and Shen Changqing felt quite relaxed.
Stand on the city wall.
Looking from top to bottom, you can have a panoramic view of many scenes in the inner city.
in sight.
Teams of people are patrolling the streets, always paying attention to where strange phenomena may appear to prevent evil spirits from causing trouble.
At the request of the imperial court, Shen Changqing was not the only person who set off to suppress the demons.
In each team of soldiers, there are strong men from the Suppressing Demon Division who follow them. However, strong masters like Shen Changqing do not need to follow them on patrols. As long as they sit on one side, they will go wherever the evil aura appears. That’s it.
"I'm probably the equivalent of a fire brigade. I go wherever I need to go!"
Shen Changqing shook his head and smiled.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the scene below, what I recalled in my mind was what I saw in the Demon-Sealing Tower during the day.
In the Demon-Sealing Tower, the many demons sealed and everything Dongfang Zhao said echoed in his mind.
That's why.
Let Shen Changqing completely understand that it is completely unfeasible for him to follow the path of the guardian envoy.
"If I break through to the peak of Grandmaster, I can perfectly integrate the power of demons. In that case, my strength will skyrocket in a short period of time. Unfortunately, the problem of longevity is a big trouble.
It is obviously not cost-effective to shorten one's lifespan for the sake of strength.
Unless it is really impossible to do anything, becoming a guardian envoy is not advisable!"
but.
Although he did not want to become a guardian envoy, he sincerely admired those who dared to become a guardian envoy.
The Guardian Envoy is powerful, but it comes at the expense of many things.
It is also self-evident what the other party's purpose of becoming a guardian envoy is.
perhaps.
Not every guardian envoy's purpose is to serve the people of Qin.
but.
Shen Changqing believes that the vast majority of guardian envoys have this purpose, otherwise, those people would not choose to become guardian envoys.
Because from Dongfang Zhao's words, he knew that the Demon-Suppressing Division would not force the Grand Master to become the Guardian Envoy.
Whether you become a guardian envoy or not is entirely voluntary.
"The peak of Grandmaster is not difficult for me. As long as the golden body of the Great Sun breaks through to the perfect state, I will naturally be able to enter the stage of the Great Sun Oven, whether it is reaching the peak of the spiritual system or the peak of the physical system. , can perfectly integrate the power of demons."
Shen Changqing knew very well that he had the existence of a panel, and if he could not become a guardian envoy, then he would not become a guardian envoy.
If one day.
If you really want to become a guardian envoy, it will probably be the end of your life.
"Master Lu, do you think there are any evil spirits hiding in the inner city now?"
The leader of a group of patrolling soldiers looked at the people around him and asked with a smile.
Hear the words.
Lu Xian replied noncommittally: "No one can be sure whether there are evil spirits hiding. The responsibility of the Demon Suppression Division can only ensure that when evil spirits appear, they will be killed as soon as possible. That's all."
The other people in the team looked at Lu Xian with a hint of awe.
Nothing else.
The demon slayers of the Demon Suppressing Division have a high status both in the court and in the world.
This is especially true for a Xuan-level demon slayer like Lu Xian.
Able to enter the Xuan level.
Almost all of them are people in the innate realm.
Immediately, the team calmed down again, and everyone patrolled the streets silently, paying attention to any emergencies.
When they passed by the mansion, the hustle and bustle inside had little to do with them.
at this time.
In a mansion, there were beautiful women singing and dancing. Many young men were drinking and having fun there. They looked at the dancing women with meaningful smiles on their faces.
"Come, drink and drink!"
"Let me toast Mr. Chen!"
"Master Shen, come and have a drink."
Some young men stood up to toast, and some familiar people chatted with each other, each holding a woman in his arms. They were so happy.
"Everyone, eat well and drink well. I won't go home until you get drunk today!"
Chen Hong had a smile on his face, and he was holding a young woman in his arms, his hands moving back and forth restlessly.
After taking a sip of wine, he looked down at the person in his arms, and some impulses suddenly surged in his heart.
"ah!"
With a soft cry, the woman was seen biting her teeth, preventing the other party's next move.
"Mr. Chen, it's not easy to deal with here. How about we go somewhere else."
"Okay, okay, then go somewhere else."
Chen Hong laughed and agreed readily.
Then he stood up, put his arms around the woman, and walked towards the side room.
See here.
Everyone else had ambiguous looks on their faces.
"I heard that the Peony Courtesan of Yichun Tower has always been a performer but not a prostitute. I never thought that she would be willing to come here this time. Mr. Chen is so lucky!"
"To put it bluntly, Mr. Chen is the son of the minister. It is her honor to fall in love with Peony. How can it be said that it is Mr. Chen's blessing."
"Yes, yes, it is indeed her honor."
""
When those people talked, they also exchanged cups and cups, so they couldn't help themselves.
Listening to the words in his ear, the smile on Chen Hong's face became more and more obvious.
It didn't take long.
The two returned to the room.
"Little lady, I'm coming!"
Chen Hong couldn't wait to hold Peony in his arms and walked towards the bed.
As soon as he reached the bed and was about to press himself on it, he was stopped by a pair of jade hands.
"Mr. Chen, why are you so anxious?"
"Do you want to play something else, little lady?" A lewd smile appeared on Chen Hong's face, and he was no longer as gentle and polite as before.
Under the reflection of candlelight.
The pretty face of the beauty in front of her is flushed red, giving people a salivating feeling.
Suddenly.
Another impulse surged in his heart.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that there are evil spirits in the capital now. Aren't you afraid that I have turned into an evil spirit?" Peony smiled sweetly and was extremely beautiful.
Hear the words.
Chen Hong said with a smile: "There is a saying that if you die under the peony flowers, you will be a ghost. If the peony girl is really evil, then I will be willing to do so."
"Hate"
Mudan pretended to be embarrassed and cursed, and the jade hand she just patted was held by a big hand, and then Chen Hong buried his head.
But what he didn't find was...
Peony's originally red face turned bluish-white at some point, and the smile on her face became stiff and weird.
"There is an evil spirit!"
Shen Changqing, who was sitting on the city wall, suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction, his eyes suddenly cold.
Just now, he noticed the appearance of evil aura.
Since practicing the Great Sun Sutra and integrating the Great Sun Golden Body, Shen Changqing has become more sensitive to the evil aura.
Be gentle on your toes.
Like a big bird in the dark night, he headed towards the direction where the evil aura came from.
In the mansion, everyone is still having fun.
boom
A huge sound came out, and everyone stopped their voices. Then they turned to look in the direction of the source of the sound, and found a person standing there, with a small pothole appearing under his feet.
A knife across the waist.
Wearing a black and white gown with strange patterns on it, it looks particularly eye-catching.
"Zhen, Zhen Mo Si!"
Someone screamed.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became commotion.
The Demon-Suppressing Division!
Why did the people from the Demon Suppression Division suddenly come here?
Many people thought of something, their expressions suddenly changed, and when they looked at the people around them, their eyes were full of vigilance.
People from the Demon Suppressing Division will not come here casually.
There is only one reason why the Demon Suppressor comes, and that is that there are evil spirits hiding here.
Thinking about the recent chaos caused by evil spirits in the country's capital, those people's hearts trembled.
"The Demon Suppression Department is doing its work. Everyone, please stay where you are and don't move around. On the contrary, my sword doesn't have an eye!"
Shen Changqing's eyes were cold and his glance made many people feel a chill in their bodies.
when he comes.
The sinister aura suddenly disappeared.
But.
Shen Changqing can be 100% sure that the evil spirit has never left this place. It is either hiding in a certain person or somewhere else, but it cannot leave this mansion.
When he finished speaking.
Someone said with a slight trembling: "Dare I ask, dare I ask this lord, are there any evil spirits in the mansion?"
"Yes, I noticed that there is an evil aura here. I guess the evil spirit has not left yet. Don't move around. There will be no problems. But if you move around, it will be hard to say."
Shen Changqing looked indifferent.
Hearing this, the man immediately shut his mouth.
Get the answer.
The other people's bodies trembled again.
Shen Changqing didn't pay much attention, and just walked slowly towards one of them, then reached out and patted the other person. The weak Sun Qi poured into his body, but quickly withdrew.
The person being photographed only felt a heat in his body, which came and went away as quickly as it came.
Then.
He changed people again and repeated the same trick.
Nowadays, the evil aura is so hidden that Shen Changqing has no way to accurately capture where the evil spirits exist. Only by using the Sun Qi to test them one by one can he find out the clues.
