Chapter Nineteen Long Saber Slash Lifespan 【For further reading】
The moonlight is cold, the night is hazy, the stars are displayed, and everything is silent.
The nights in Nanling have been very peaceful recently.
There weren't any big storms.
Nanling Demon Slayer Division.
A figure, covered in blood-red robes, was like a blood lion in the dark night, with a terrifying aura. He pushed open the door of the Demon Slayer Department, and it seemed that the entire Demon Slayer Department was trembling violently. The middle-aged man in blood-clothed clothes had a solemn look on his face, and his spirit was tense.
He was nervous, but after returning here, he felt relieved.
"Master, you are back!"
The housekeeper hurried over and wanted to take the blood-stained sword from the middle-aged man's hand, but was rejected by the middle-aged man.
He shook his head and said: "The knife is still sinking and it can easily hurt you."
This person is clearly the head of the Nanling Demon Slaying Department.
Sixth Grade Blood Clothes.
The middle-aged majestic man walked to his seat, slowly closed his eyes, and rested for a while. He looked at the old butler who had been loyal to him all his life. His temples had turned white, and he couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
, after a long time, he said slowly.
"Are there any problems in the various jurisdictions of Nanling these days?"
The housekeeper reported truthfully that nothing major happened in Nanling in recent days, so it was considered safe.
The boss also breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about Cui Qinghe?" The boss suddenly spoke, interrupting the steward's report. Obviously, he was very concerned about the newly appointed Cui Qinghe, which surprised the steward. Based on his understanding of the boss, there was probably
What other reasons.
But when he mentioned Cui Qinghe, he also showed a somewhat solemn expression.
"That Cui Ziyi is a bit extraordinary. On the first day he took office, he killed a second-level monster in the street. On the second day, he captured and suppressed a monster alive and put it into the monster hall. The monster in the monster hall
That person also seems to value Cui Ziyi very much."
"Um."
The boss gently wiped his knife.
After a long time, he said softly, as if murmuring to himself: "The Cui family of Danyang has a real evildoer. He is eighteen years old and is a woman. Now I am afraid that he will control the big city in the southern region."
"There are only three big cities in the Southern Territory. They are the most prosperous places in the Southern Territory."
Hearing this, the butler's pupils contracted and his eyes widened, feeling a little incredible.
Eighteen years old.
Master the big city in the southern region?
What kind of beautiful girl is this?
How can it be?
The housekeeper has followed the boss for many years and knows many things in the Demon Slayer Division. Nanling County may seem big, but placed in the Southern Territory, it is like dust and powder!
There are three big cities in the southern region.
Just like the sun never sets, thousands of people are prosperous!
It is simply unimaginable for an eighteen-year-old woman to take control of a big city. What kind of talent is that girl!
When I thought of the boss' previous question about Cui Qinghe.
He looked shocked and guessed what happened.
"Could it be that the beautiful girl from heaven belongs to Cui Qinghe..."
"Well, let's not mention that. It's too far away from us. As long as Cui Qinghe doesn't cause problems in Nanling, everything will be fine. Cui Qinghe is a bloodline of the Cui family after all. He has outstanding abilities and can make more contributions to Nanling."
After saying this, the boss slumped down on his chair and rubbed his brow tiredly.
"The outbreak of monsters is becoming more and more frequent. This time, a total of five red-coated people from the nearby counties were recruited to solve the mysterious case in Huanglao Village. One of them ended up being involved, and even I almost died in it."
Five red-coated men join forces.
All of them have fallen!
It’s hard to imagine what level of monsters they were facing!
The old housekeeper showed a shocked expression, and at the same time, the boss broke into a cold sweat.
But when he thought that the outbreak of monsters was getting more and more serious, he couldn't help but sigh, showing a solemn expression.
"Just in our Nanling County, there are countless hidden dangers. Last year, Jingshang said that human assistance might be needed, but why hasn't it come yet? The eight people in purple... are still unable to do anything, even if they can help us.
It's okay to have someone in black."
The boss shook his head, and a coldness flashed through his eyes like an angry lion: "Humph, I'm afraid everyone in Beijing has too much to take care of themselves. In this world, we can only rely on ourselves."
"The black-clothed recruitment at Tiantie Villa has been taking so long, but it hasn't arrived yet, which means that the manpower in the Southern Territory has been stretched to an unimaginable level. Unfortunately, I am too busy."
The boss also has more terrifying monsters to deal with, and there are too many of them.
And the monsters he wants to solve.
They are all horrors unimaginable to ordinary demon-slaying guards.
The boss picked up a letter from the desk and asked with confusion in his eyes: "This is it?"
The housekeeper hesitated for a while and said: "The recruitment from Qingshan County... Because the current chief disciple of Yuexing Pavilion is touring Qingshan County to clean up the evil spirit, Qingshan County is short of manpower, and I hope to recruit a Ziyi from Nanling."
The boss frowned.
Nanling doesn’t have enough manpower either!
…
Weird and mysterious case.
Although there are many.
However, most of them are in a hidden danger state and have not yet erupted, so Tianhe Street was relatively calm during the three days.
The weather is mild today, the warm sunshine is shining on the bluestone road of Tianhe Street, and catkins are mixed in the breeze and flying into thousands of homes.
Cui Qinghe was sitting in a rocking chair on the street, with a folding fan covering his face, his hair falling down lazily and casually, the willow tree beside him, and the faint fragrance of flowers blowing towards his face.
When taking office.
Cui Qinghe killed two monsters in a row.
It feels like knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.
In the past three days, the monsters in Tianhe had become much quieter, and he actually took some time to relax.
It can soothe the tense nerves in recent days.
Um.
Calculate the time, it should be here, right?
At that time, the time was agreed upon with the turtle demon. The old man's deadline should be today. Cui Qinghe buttoned the buttons of his purple clothes and lifted the long knife leaning against the wall with his fair and slender palm.
"Cui Ziyi, we are working on a case." The neighbor greeted with a smile.
Cui Qinghe nodded politely.
Walk through the streets and alleys.
He came outside the house where the turtle demon was and saw the scene where the old man passed away.
The old man was sitting on a chair with a strong sense of twilight. He looked at the turtle demon, as if he was looking at a respected elder. He wanted to raise his hand and stroke the turtle demon's back, but he couldn't raise his hand halfway.
hanging down...
The old man is lonely and helpless, and his children are unfilial. This turtle demon will accompany him for the rest of his life. Is the monster scary? It is scary, but the turtle demon is not scary. In the lonely winters, only the turtle demon will accompany him...
"You are left alone again..."
Immortality may itself be a curse.
Cui Qinghe suddenly thought of a sentence from his previous life.
Quite emotional.
The old man passed away completely.
In an instant, a demonic aura erupted in the room that made Cui Qinghe half-squint his eyes. It was so cold that it turned into an invisible demonic knife and slashed towards the turtle demon in an instant!
The turtle demon has become older.
Two scarlet blood tears were left, but Cui Qinghe could feel the sadness permeating the turtle demon. He had a kind heart, pure and flawless, and could not see life or death. The air was filled with a sad atmosphere.
Looking back, Turtle Demon Mu said angrily: "Cui Ziyi, I've had enough. Please, take me out of the city..."
