Lin Ji couldn't help but laugh. After opening the courtyard door, he made a gesture of invitation.
Taoist Pingxin shook his head again, but seeing that Lin Ji had already walked into the courtyard minding his own business, he could only follow.
After leading Taoist Pingxin into his small courtyard, Lin Ji set up the tea table, picked up the teapot, and poured Taoist Pingxin a cup of tea brewed at an unknown time.
Taoist Pingxin was not particular about it. After drinking the tea in one gulp, he said: "Originally, I thought that the Supervisor Tiansi oversees the world, from the Youtian official to the demon hunter. They are all just thinking about killing demons.
Such a ruthless person, who would have thought that there would be someone like you who cares about the sufferings of the people."
While listening, Lin Ji poured out the remaining tea in the teapot, replaced it with new tea leaves, and began to boil water.
"I'm just a little catcher who is messing around. I can't afford to be as high-ranking as a Taoist priest."
"It's worthy." Pingxin Taoist's tone was full of sighs, "If we were to change positions, Pingdao would probably just take the little thief and throw him into prison. Even if he argued, I would only think that he was trying to get away with it.
If you are sophistical, you will definitely not act like Lin Captou."
Having said this, Taoist Pingxin laughed bitterly.
"If I really did this, the child would have been imprisoned for several months, and the mother would probably not be able to survive without being taken care of. And after the child was released, the mother passed away and was arrested for stealing. In Qingyang County,
If you can no longer hold your head high, you will probably go astray in the future.”
"Obviously we were doing things impartially, but it caused a human tragedy. This is really... really..." Taoist Pingxin couldn't think of how to describe it, and in the end he just shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"It's okay to act impartially. He deserves to be caught for stealing." Lin Ji said with a smile, "Taoist Master, don't worry about it, it's just a small matter."
While I was talking, the water had already boiled.
Lin Ji made tea and while he was waking up from the tea, he said casually: "I am the head catcher, ensuring the safety of the party, that's all. That child's life is miserable, I can avoid a tragedy just by talking, why?"
It’s too much fun to do it.”
Hearing this, Taoist Pingxin stood up again, slapped Lin Ji, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
This sudden departure made Lin Ji a little strange.
"Where are you going, Taoist Priest?"
"If your mind is not stable, you should find a place to be quiet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Pingxin disappeared.
Lin Ji helplessly looked at the tea that had just been brewed.
"If I had known that a cup of rancid tea could be used up, I wouldn't have made new tea."
...
late at night.
A rare curfew in Qingyang County.
The entire county was dark, and there was not a single soul on the road.
Even the policeman on night watch was sent back by Lin Ji.
Lin Ji walked on the road with his hands behind his back, humming an unknown tune, with a bit of caution in his heart.
"There are not enough manpower..."
In Qingyang County today, he and Guo Yi are the only two capable demon hunters. Lingyin and Zhou Qian have already left, and Lu Cong can't count on him in the first realm.
It would be fine if only one or two evil spirits came.
Just when Lin Ji was feeling uneasy, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the other side of the county.
Lin Ji jumped onto a roof with a slight leap.
I opened my spiritual eyes and looked up, there was already a ghostly presence over there.
"Have you met Lao Guo yet?"
The thunder just now was Guo Yi's Thunder Talisman, a method of the Qingcheng Sect.
The thunder talisman uses its own spiritual energy to turn into thunder through the talisman.
In terms of power, it is naturally far inferior to the thunder caused by Lin Ji's Thunder Sword Technique.
However, the power of thunder is already restrained against ghosts, so this method is more than enough to deal with evil ghosts.
Lin Ji stood on a high place and looked towards Guo Yi for a while. After a while, most of the ghost energy dissipated, and it was obvious that the evil ghost had been killed.
"The action is quite fast, but unfortunately... it's not enough." Lin Ji frowned slightly and looked further in the direction of Guo Yi.
Several more ghostly auras filled the air and surged toward Qingyang County.
"I hope Lao Guo can withstand it," Lin Ji secretly said.
At this moment, Lin Ji suddenly felt another fluctuation in another direction behind him.
Looking back, I saw only a ghostly aura, with flames flying everywhere.
"Hey, it's the tomboy I saw during the day." Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly.
This was something he didn't expect. He thought it was just a drama about the eldest lady escaping from marriage, but who would have thought that he was actually a monk with a good background.
"That fire method is not simple, it is not an ordinary flame."
Lin Ji observed carefully for a while and found that the tomboy who was fighting with the ghost seemed to be extremely skillful and was obviously a monk in the third realm.
Every time the flame she uses touches the ghost energy, it will grow a little bigger, as if the ghost energy is used as fuel.
"interesting."
Lin Ji withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance, which was the direction leading from Qingyang County to Liangcheng.
At this moment, the overwhelming ghost energy is gathering over there, blocking the moonlight in the sky, and approaching Qingyang County overwhelmingly.
Lin Ji took a deep breath, and with a thought in his mind, spiritual energy came out of his Dantian and spread all over his limbs and bones in an instant.
"Hundred Ghosts Night Parade..."
Looking at the countless ghosts swimming in the ghost aura in the distance, Lin Ji knew that he could not delay any longer.
"At least it must be stopped outside the county seat."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji's figure disappeared in a flash, and reappeared already more than ten meters away.
Continuously moving forward, in just a few moments, he had left Qingyang County and arrived on the small road outside the county.
At this moment, the overwhelming ghostly aura was only a hundred meters away from him.
He could already clearly see the dense crowds of ghost soldiers and ghosts, constantly swimming in mid-air, carrying the gathering ghost energy, and crushing towards him like an army pressing down on the enemy.
The roars and howls of ghosts are endless.
They seemed to have discovered Lin Ji's existence. In the blink of an eye, several ghost soldiers rushed in front of Lin Ji.
There was a slight smile on Lin Ji's lips, and with a thought in his mind, the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed.
The sword flashed and killed several ghost soldiers.
But compared to that huge amount, it's just a drop in the bucket.
"First break your ghost spirit."
Lin Ji performs the secret with one hand.
"The heaven and earth are natural, the odor is dispersed, the cave is mysterious, and the Taiyuan is shining brightly."
"Disperse!"
The strong wind suddenly rose, mixed with the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and collided with the ghostly energy summoned by countless ghosts.
The ghost energy began to be eliminated, but it only slowed down the progress.
"It seems I still have to do it myself."
Lin Ji took a deep breath and rushed into the huge ghostly aura with his sword in hand.
...
In the city, the idle ghosts have been cleared away.
I don't know when, Guo Yi has arrived not far from Zhong Xiaoyan.
"I'm Guo Yi. I'm a demon hunter in Qingyang County. Thank you very much for your help." Guo Yi cupped his fists and said.
Zhong Xiaoyan had just killed a fierce ghost, and when she was feeling proud, she heard Guo Yi's voice.
She was a little surprised: "Did you see my disguise?"
"What disguise?" Guo Yi scratched his head.
Zhong Xiaoyan's expression froze.
But now is not the time to talk about this.
The two of them looked at the Hundred Ghost Night Walk in the distance at the same time, which was not far from Qingyang County.
They also saw the scene of Lin Ji rushing into the ghost aura.
"The arrest in our county has passed, let's go help quickly," Guo Yi said.
