Lin Ji took a nap in the side hall of the Yamen. When he woke up, it was already afternoon.
He was awakened by the restless spiritual energy in his body.
"Is this a gift after killing the ghost general last night and destroying the ghost realm?" Lin Ji felt the swelling in his Dantian and knew that he could not delay any longer.
He didn't feel this way before, probably because he used spiritual energy to suppress the injury. Now that the injury had recovered a little, he had to step up his practice to stabilize his Dantian.
After leaving the Yamen and returning home, Lin Ji dove into his room.
After a few breaths, he entered the state of cultivation.
This practice lasted until the early morning of the next day.
At the beginning, Lin Ji was just sorting out his meridians and adapting to the more powerful spiritual energy than before, but later on, he had some vague feelings.
His eyes were obviously closed, but he could feel everything around him. Without his vision, his hearing and touch became even sharper.
It's not just that.
At first, there was only a vague improvement in the five senses.
But in the second half of his training, Lin Ji felt that something in his mind seemed to be broken.
That thing originally existed, but it only existed.
But at this moment, when Lin Ji tried to touch it, he found that he seemed to be able to sense everything within a dozen meters around him.
This range is small, but this feeling is quite novel.
"Spiritual consciousness?" Lin Ji opened his eyes and exited the cultivation state.
Opening the window, it was already light outside.
"Is this the gift after I killed the ghost general? A profound and profound enlightenment actually allowed me to open up my spiritual consciousness... This is the most important step before the fourth realm."
Lin Ji thought to himself, if the spiritual eyes opened in the third level of the spiritual realm are a weapon for monks to deal with evil spirits.
The fourth level of Wisdom, opening up spiritual consciousness, is a method that is at a higher level than the spiritual eye.
"Now my spiritual consciousness has been opened and my five senses have been enhanced, but the spiritual energy in my Dantian has not been fully filled after this practice."
"But my spiritual consciousness has been opened, which means I have already entered the fourth realm with one foot. I only need to practice step by step for a few more days, and I should be able to successfully enter the fourth realm."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji wanted to get excited, but found that he couldn't get excited at all.
In the end, he could only twitch the corner of his mouth perfunctorily, showing a strange expression that was half a smile but not a smile.
A breakthrough was something that had been expected and taken for granted.
The bottleneck from the third level to the fourth level? What is that?
...
At noon, after having dinner at Ruyilou, Lin Ji yawned and came to the county government office.
What happened last night must be compiled into a file and kept. After the road to Liangcheng is clear, it will be sent to Liangcheng for preservation.
Especially regarding the ghost general last night, although he is dead, there are still many doubts about him.
"After a ghost has been trained to be a ghost king, he will control his subordinates. He will obviously control some of the remaining souls of his handsome ghost generals. If his subordinates have any thoughts of rebellion, they can be executed with just one thought."
This is what is recorded in "Ghosts and Strange Stories".
Because he often dealt with ghosts, Lin Ji knew a lot about ghosts.
But the ghost general last night seemed to be an exception.
"There is no reason to be an exception. Ghost generals are not weak. Even if they are as strong as the Ghost King, they will not treat their ghost generals like cannon fodder... A ghost general is out of control. As a ghost king, how can he turn a blind eye?
"
"Is it possible that the ghost general found a way to take back his remnant soul, so that the ghost king can't do anything to him?"
"But this is impossible. How could a little ghost general take advantage of the ghost king's realm? Could someone help? Otherwise, how could the ghost general dare to run away?"
It was because he did not expect the existence of the ghost general that Lin Ji dared to break into the ghost realm last night.
Although the ghost general was finally killed, the danger involved made Lin Ji have to think a little more.
After all... with the defection of a ghost general, who knows if there will be a next time.
What if there is, what if the ghost commander directly defectes next time?
"This matter... Guo Yi must be summoned to Liang Cheng without any further delay."
I had an idea in my mind and happened to have arrived at the gate of the county government office.
Lin Ji walked in quickly with a heavy heart, but he didn't expect that someone was coming towards him, and the two of them bumped into each other.
"Who is it? You can't walk without eyes?" Lin Ji frowned.
"Your aunt is here!" Zhong Xiaoyan's eyes widened and she glared at Lin Ji angrily.
"What are you doing in the Yamen?" Lin Ji was a little surprised, but then he saw Zhong Xiaoyan wearing a police officer's outfit that Lin Ji never wore.
"Why are you wearing yamen clothes? They were stolen, right? Return them quickly." Lin Ji said with some dissatisfaction.
How could he not know that this girl might have become a police officer.
But Lin Ji didn't feel any joy at having his men replenished. Instead, he only had a headache.
What are the disobedient subordinates doing?
Zhong Xiaoyan's eyebrows were dancing: "You are the one who stole the clothes! I am now a quasi-demon hunter. When Liang Cheng's documents come back, I will be a registered demon hunter!"
Lin Ji curled his lips.
"I'm full and full, and I'm still wearing men's clothes."
Ignoring Zhong Xiaoyan, Lin Ji quickly walked into the lobby and found Guo Yi.
Seeing Lin Ji's quick steps, Zhong Xiaoyan's eyes were filled with curiosity and she quickly followed him.
In the lobby.
Lin Ji ignored Zhong Xiaoyan's presence and explained to Guo Yi one by one the doubts about the ghost general last night.
"You should send this matter to Liangcheng immediately with the messenger talisman without delay." Lin Ji said with rare seriousness, "It is not a trivial matter for the ghost generals to escape from control. This means that there may be more ghost generals and even ghost commanders in Liang City."
The state is raging! If this really happens, the two of us will never be able to defend Qingyang County."
"I know, I'll take care of this right away." Guo Yi didn't dare to delay, so he quickly took out a communication charm and started working.
Seeing Guo Yi taking care of things on the side, Lin Ji didn't feel at all relaxed.
Maybe Li Gui's matter will come to an end for the time being, but no one knows what Liang Cheng's side will eventually develop into.
Did the Capital Supervisor send his masters to kill the ghost king and quell the chaos? Or did the ghost king of Liangcheng lose his patience and let his men attack the city?
Or maybe the ghosts from the Ghost King City are wreaking havoc in Liangzhou?
Lin Ji couldn't understand why the Ghost King's affairs were delayed for so long. In the past, Supervisor Tiansi would never do things in such a procrastinating manner.
Even though Jian Tiansi is indeed struggling in various parts of the Qin Dynasty now, Liangcheng is a state capital, and being surrounded by ghosts like this, Jian Tiansi's face has long been lost.
"What are the people above doing?" Lin Ji looked at the sky outside the gate, feeling uneasy.
He is getting closer and closer to the fourth realm.
What is it that Master Xingchi wants to entrust him with?
And what is the origin of the soul-fixing and demonic pestle?
These bad things made Lin Ji quite anxious.
It wasn't until Lu Cong walked into the lobby and handed Lin Ji a steaming meat pie that this complicated mood finally eased.
After taking a bite of the meatloaf, it tasted ordinary, but it aroused Lin Ji's greed.
"Everyone worked hard last night. Come to my house in two days and let's get together."
