The moonlight is like a waterfall, and the candlelight is clear and dim.
Nanling County, Demon Slayer Division.
"Cui Qinghe, a native of Changfeng County, Nanling County, I am nineteen years old. Three years ago, I won the first place in the middle school rural examination and was admitted to the imperial court. Unfortunately, the river of blood was hanging and the demons were in chaos. Cui Qinghe was appointed by the imperial court to join the Demon Slayer Division.
I practiced martial arts in Changfeng County and suppressed demons. For three years, I worked hard and performed well..." The housekeeper read the roster in his hand, but when he read this, he suddenly paused.
It's strange that the master is very busy with official duties and rarely has time to rest. Now that demons are causing trouble and he has accumulated a lot of things, why did he suddenly pick up the list of demon guards of the Nanling Demon Slayer Division and directly find this person named Cui Qinghe?
Resume information.
"Keep reading."
The speaker is in a high seat, dressed in red like blood, and looks like a middle-aged man. His face is upright, his eyebrows are like swords, and he is not angry and self-confident. His left hand is casually leaning on the armrest of the seat, and his right hand is pressing the button firmly.
He held a sword that was standing upright, with a cold light.
"Last year, because of his excellent performance and outstanding political achievements, he was summoned from the capital and promoted to the Southern Territory Demon Slayer Division, and was given a black coat..."
Eighth-grade black-robed demon-slaying guard.
"There is an imperial edict from the capital. A small demon guard has to be directly transferred to the Demon Slaying Department of the Southern Region. The scale of the demon slaying department in the main region is not comparable to that of counties like ours. He is given black clothes and jumps two levels in a row. This is not
It meets the promotion criteria very well. Unless you are a native of the region, not to mention Changfeng County, even Nanling is a remote and remote area. How can you suppress demons for three years and be directly promoted to a large region?"
Even the old man in front of him, a dignified sixth-grade red-robed man, the head of the Demon Slaying Department of Nanling County, has no chance of being promoted to the Demon Slaying Department of the Great Region.
"Cui Qinghe, there is someone in the capital, don't be surprised."
"Sir, this Cui Qinghe, isn't he the one who broke three weird things in a row and was rewarded by the Lord of the Demon Slayer Division of the Southern Region personally this year?"
"It's him. He rejected the imperial edict from Beijing to grant him a reward. And this year, he also rejected the grant from the Southern Territory. Why?"
"Could it be that he misses his hometown..."
"He also refused the reward I offered him last year." The boss said quietly: "He was the one who solved the Tang family's unsolved case. He refused in the street in Changfeng County. Have you forgotten?"
The housekeeper was a little embarrassed and listened to the boss speak slowly again.
"This person's talent is unparalleled. He is an absolute master at investigating and slaying demons. Plus there are people behind him... If he goes to the Southern Region, I'm afraid he will be transferred to Beijing within three years..."
"He declined the promotion opportunity in the Southern Region this year, but offered to be transferred to Nanling County, Nanling County. Why?"
The housekeeper started rummaging around, and suddenly he looked strange and quickly raised his head: "Nanling, he has a brother-in-law who is said to be as beautiful as a flower..."
"Well, it's not... right?"
However, the expression of the sixth-grade demon guard in red became increasingly weird.
After a long time, he sighed.
"He should have arrived in Nanling County. It might be a good thing for such a talent to stay in Nanling County."
…
Nanling County is very large, with dozens of townships and counties built into it. This is Nanling County, the most lively core location of Nanling County, with a population of hundreds of thousands. It can be regarded as the last prosperity of Nanling County.
There was a huge crowd, noisy and lively.
A handsome and tall young figure walked into Nanling County and was a little unaccustomed to being shocked by this prosperous scene.
Compared with Changfeng County, a place where birds don't poop.
Nanling County is indeed more suitable for young people.
After all, it is a county, and the young man is obviously in a good mood.
His name is Cui Qinghe.
A native of Changfeng County.
He has a big secret, that is, he still retains the memory of his previous life. In his previous life, he worked hard, stayed up late to study, got excellent grades, and prepared to make a splash in the college entrance examination.
As a result, he died suddenly and dramatically on the night before the college entrance examination.
It feels a bit like starting a business but failing halfway.
After coming to this world, he secretly rejoiced that all the knowledge he had learned in his previous life was not in vain. With his pioneering learning thinking and the good study habits he developed in his previous life, he directly won the first place in the foreign examination and was known as Cui Jieyuan.
Cui Qinghe's initial idea was to work hard for a few years, take the provincial examination, pass the examination all the way to Beijing, and become a high official... As a result, he had just won the first place in the provincial examination when a group of Nanling soldiers in armor came over and said
: "Cui Jieyuan, times have changed..."
Therefore, Cui Jieyuan, who was sensationalizing Changfeng County with his literary talent at that time, directly joined the establishment...
Being escorted by others, he gave up his studies and turned to martial arts.
Cui Qinghe refused at first. After all, this was a job of licking blood on the tip of a knife. They would investigate all kinds of mysterious cases caused by monsters and monsters on weekdays!
but……
When he heard that the salary was generous, the treatment was superior, and he had the backing of the capital, he suddenly realized, what is the difference between this and a civil servant?
Mmm, it smells so good.
However, as far as he knew, monster incidents occurred frequently in various places, and counties and counties in the continent had accumulated too many mysterious cases that no one was paying attention to, and were in urgent need of manpower. Therefore, the outstanding candidates in the provincial examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations were all eliminated.
Pushed into the Demon Slaying Division and became an on-staff demon guard...
Practice martial arts and suppress demons!
Changfeng County is located in a remote and remote area with a small population, so there are very few demons. He has lived a comfortable life in these years, but he also learned a lot of principles in life in his previous life, and gave gifts to the demon guards in charge of villages and towns every year.
He would also entertain some demon guards, and over time, everyone got to know him. On weekdays, the words Cui Qinghe would often appear above the banquets between the demon guards.
After all, people with unparalleled talents like Cui Qinghe used to have their eyes high. Now, even though slaying demons is a big deal, after three rounds of drinking, Cui Qinghe can still be a good talking point for them.
"Hey, have you heard of Cui Jieyuan? He sent me some rare items a few days ago. Tsk, you don't even recognize Cui Jieyuan? That Cui Jieyuan who wrote an amazing poem in the past is now working in Changfeng County.
He has unparalleled talent and good character."
Here in Nanling County, he gradually gained some fame, and finally, the promotion order from Nanling County came.
At that time, Cui Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief and finally got promoted. When he got to a big place, there were many opportunities to slay demons and he could build a reputation. In addition, the salary of the Demon Slayer Division was generous, so he could climb up step by step. After all, he was young and energetic, who could
I have no ambition to climb higher.
As a result, he unexpectedly discovered that as long as he refused to be promoted.
Then you will get many unexpected surprises!
"This promotion is worth it if I refuse it."
Cui Qinghe stood in the crowd. At this moment, his eyes were suddenly covered with a light mist. In Cui Qinghe's sight, the whole world became hazy. The scene zoomed out, and all the creatures were there.
The blur faded, and he could see a cluster of flames flickering and burning in front of him.
Yes.
Just refuse the promotion.
He can see flames of various colors burning in all directions on the horizon. Following the flames, handling some things and making friends with some people, Cui Qinghe can naturally get some unexpected benefits!
Some time ago, Beijing issued an edict. It was his sister who worked in the Southern Territory Demon Slaying Division who gave him strength. This was also an experiment of Cui Qinghe. However, he found that after rejecting the imperial edict, Cui Qinghe
Qinghe only saw two blue flames.
Therefore, he felt that the rewards triggered by his special features should be related to his achievements.
The more powerful the achievements he has made, the better the flame guidance will be triggered if he refuses the promotion caused by the achievements. This guidance is very vague, but as long as Cui Qinghe follows the guidance, he can break out in many opportunities.
to seize the opportunity.
The flames of nothingness burned by the treasure guide are roughly divided into white, blue, and purple that only appeared this time.
When he learned that he needed merit, he no longer kept a low profile and became enthusiastic about recruiting monsters in other villages and counties. He rushed to other counties and took action forcefully, solving three cases in a row and becoming famous in Nanling!
After Cui Qinghe declined this Southern Territory reward, purple flames burned in his sight for the first time!
He stood in the crowd, mist in his eyes bursting out.
"The place guided by the purple flame is Nanling County."
