Lin Ji recognized the visitor as Wu Fei, the head catcher of the Liangcheng government office.
Unlike Lin Ji, who was muddle along after becoming the head catcher, Wu Fei is a man who is dedicated to his business.
But thinking about it, at the age of thirty, he has reached the peak cultivation level of the third realm of spiritual enlightenment. Such a person should not be satisfied with the status quo no matter what.
Wu Fei took several of his men and saw Lin Ji from a distance.
"But Lin Baotou of Qingyang County?"
"It's me." Lin Ji nodded.
After Wu Fei came closer, he first looked at the three scholars who fell on the ground, and then asked: "Captain Lin, what happened last night? Lord Zhan asked me to come here to investigate the situation overnight, saying that there was a ghost outside Liangcheng.
The anger is raging."
The Lord Zhan in his mouth is Zhan Chengfeng, the official of Liangzhou Town who is in charge of Liangcheng. He is the highest official of the Supervisor Tiansi in Liangzhou.
"There was a ghost soldier harming people in the mountain temple. After I solved it, another ghost general was attracted." Lin Ji explained casually, "Fortunately, the ghost general was not very powerful and I killed him."
"How dare the ghost general be so unscrupulous near the official road?" Wu Fei frowned.
"I don't know about this, but if this matter needs to be investigated, it should be Wu Captou's business." Lin Ji cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Please Wu Captou take these three scholars back to Liangcheng to cultivate themselves.
A few days, I have to go to the capital to report on my work, so I’m leaving now.”
Wu Fei naturally had no objection.
Even if Lin Ji wanted to take care of this matter, he would definitely stop it.
After Lin Ji left, Wu Fei looked at his subordinates.
"Do you know how you will report to Master Zhan when you return later?"
A demon hunter quickly said: "The ghost general is so fierce that Lin Ji is no match for him. When Capt. Wu arrived, he killed him."
"That's too much." Wu Fei shook his head, "Let's just say Lin Ji and I join forces."
Liangcheng was Wu Fei's territory. There was a ghost general who harmed people, but he was solved by the Qingyang County chief. This would not sound good when told.
Moreover, the credit for killing a ghost general was not small. Lin Ji was going to the capital to report on his duties. Wu Fei had no choice but to do whatever he said.
"Take these three scholars and return to Liangcheng."
...
Two hours later.
At noon, the sky was unusually clear after the rain.
Lin Ji hummed a little tune and walked briskly through the forest, the tip of his nose twitching from time to time.
Not long ago, when he was on his way, he suddenly smelled a refreshing aroma of wine, which immediately captured Lin Ji's soul. Now he no longer hurried, but followed the aroma of wine into the depths of the dense forest.
After crossing a stream and jumping off a cliff along the current, Lin Ji came to a hidden valley.
The aroma of the wine became stronger and stronger.
Lin Ji sniffed hard and his eyes instantly locked on an inconspicuous stone platform halfway up the mountain.
Lin Ji jumped high into the air with brisk steps and borrowed strength from the rock wall a few times. Lin Ji easily reached the stone platform.
Lin Ji's eyes lit up when he saw the natural sunken stone pit in the stone platform filled with fruit wine.
‘Zhizhi’
In the valley behind him, monkeys kept chirping, and stones fell on Lin Ji from time to time.
"Hey, I thought the monkey wine thing was just a story, but I didn't expect it to actually be true. It seems like this is the gift after I killed the ghost general yesterday."
Lin Ji held up a handful of wine with both hands and drank it impatiently.
In the mouth, it is astringent at first, then becomes sweet.
It's the mellow and sweet aroma of forest fruits and the not-so-strong aroma of wine. The two complement each other and add a bit of flavor to this fruit wine.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ji's eyes suddenly widened.
Because he suddenly felt that the spiritual energy in his Dantian seemed to have increased a lot, and he began to sweat faintly all over his body.
"Good wine! Who knows what spiritual fruits and other good things these monkeys threw into it? This wine is actually very beneficial to my cultivation."
Lin Ji took out the gourd filled with water from the package.
After pouring all the water out of the gourd, he directly stuffed the gourd into the stone pit.
I saw a small whirlpool appearing in the pit full of wine. After a while, less than half of the originally full pit of wine had gone down.
"This is almost five kilograms, which is enough." Lin Ji picked up the gourd and took a sip, letting out a long sigh of relief.
There is a lack of entertainment in this world, and Lin Ji is not the kind of person who likes beautiful streets and willow alleys; so only good food and good wine have become Lin Ji's inseparable hobbies.
But at this moment, behind Lin Ji, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind.
Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and turned slightly sideways.
Immediately afterwards, a stone hit the rock wall hard, causing pieces of stone to fly everywhere. When it fell on Lin Ji's face, he actually felt a bit of pain.
"Huh?" Lin Ji turned his head curiously, but did not find the guy throwing stones. Instead, he thought it was suddenly dark.
But the next moment, Lin Ji suddenly came back to his senses and looked up.
I saw a huge ape jumping down from the top of the cliff and rushing towards Lin Ji's direction.
"Monkey King? It seems that he already has a demon body and has become a spirit."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji pulled out the long sword from his waist and turned the sword sideways.
When the Monkey King was about to fall, Lin Ji jumped to the side, and then lightly slapped the Monkey King on the head with his sword.
"Jiji!" The monkey king covered his head in pain and rolled on the ground in pain.
Lin Jize chuckled and said, "What's wrong with your few kilograms of wine? I didn't move it clean for you."
The monkey king seemed to be able to understand human speech. When he heard what Lin Ji said, a humanized look of grievance appeared on his face. He covered his head and looked at Lin Ji, but he did not dare to do anything again.
Just now, it was hit with the blade of a sword. If it were replaced by a blade, it would not be as simple as a headache.
Lin Ji, on the other hand, couldn't bear to see the Monkey King's posture.
"That's all, I owe you." Lin Ji said with a smile: "One day I will get the spiritual fruit, or something useful for your practice. Then I will leave you a portion, which will be used as the cost of the monkey wine.
,how?"
The Monkey King was stunned for a moment, and the grievance in his eyes dissipated a lot, but soon he fell down again, covering his head.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji was laughed out of anger.
"You are so greedy that you still want to be beaten?"
The long sword turned into a sword flower in Lin Ji's hand, and the monkey king was so frightened that he quickly got up, not daring to pretend to be aggrieved.
Lin Ji shook his head helplessly, put away his sword and the gourd containing wine, and left the valley directly.
...
Five days later.
Outside the capital.
A caravan followed the queue and slowly moved towards the magnificent city in the distance.
"Brother Lin, we have arrived in the capital." The steward of the caravan found Lin Ji and asked, "Brother, are you coming into the city with us, or are you going somewhere of your own accord?"
"I have my own place to go." Lin Ji jumped out of the carriage, cupped his hands, and then said to the carriage on the carriage, "Thank you, Miss, for taking me here."
"Where is Mr. Lin? Without Mr. Lin's help on the road, our small caravan of three or five guards would never be a match for those bandits."
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning." Lin Ji waved his hand, then quickly left the caravan and walked towards the towering city gate.
After bidding farewell to the ride-hailing caravan, Lin Ji went straight past the line of people queuing up for inspection at the city gate and came to the front.
"Hey, why did you jump in line?" Someone was displeased.
Lin Ji turned around and smiled, but did not explain. Instead, he took out Jian Tiansi's token and waved it at the city gate guard on the other side who was looking at him unkindly.
When the guards saw that it was Jian Tiansi's beheading order, they quickly bowed and made way for the city.
After entering the city, Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the prosperous scene that was completely different from Liangcheng and Qingyang County.
"After so many days of delay, we are finally here."
