Chapter five hundred and fifty fourth late night visit
Late at night, in the backyard of Weizhou Government Office.
Lin Ji set up a deck chair in the garden and lay on it leisurely, one leg resting on the other, swaying from time to time, humming a tune that only he had heard.
There was silence all around, except for the chirping of doves on the big tree outside his study not far away.
As if annoyed by the cry, the white cat Aling lying on Lin Ji's chest gave a 'meow'.
In an instant, a group of doves flew out of the tree and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Lin Ji frowned slightly.
"There is no news today. I remember that there were ten spirit pigeons staying at the government office during the day. Why are there two missing at this time?"
"Meow~"
"Did you eat the spirit pigeon?" Lin Ji stood up abruptly, picked up the white cat in both hands and looked at it with shock in his eyes. "It's just a wild cat catching birds. You are a great demon in the sixth realm. What kind of thing are you catching?"
bird?"
"Meow~"
"You still don't admit it? Do you believe that I will cut open your stomach and dig out your intestines now?"
Upon hearing this, the white cat immediately struggled out of Lin Ji's hands and fell aside.
"I did not eat."
"Where is the young dove?"
"How do I know? That little thing has wings, who knows where it flew to." Aling denied.
Hearing this, Lin Ji also felt that it made some sense and nodded.
"It makes some sense. It seems that I blamed you wrongly."
Lin Ji lay down again.
Aling also jumped on Lin Ji's belly again.
She likes Lin Ji's star power, which is almost equivalent to catnip for Moon Shadow Cat.
Lin Ji continued to look at the stars in the sky and said casually: "Speaking of which, these spiritual pigeons were raised and raised by special people in Beijing. I heard that they eat spiritual grain... I think they should be more delicious than ordinary pigeons.
A lot of it, the meat must be sweet."
"It's not sweet, it's just juice..."
In an instant, Aling jumped up from Lin Ji's belly and was already in the sky in a flash.
There was a demonic aura around her, and she was about to run away.
But at this moment, Lin Ji raised his hand and pointed.
An invisible wave cut through the night sky and landed on Aling. She was knocked out of the air and was caught firmly by Lin Ji's hands.
"Meow~" This cat meow is so euphemistic that it makes people's hearts melt when they hear it, and they want to hold it in their arms and give it a few hard strokes.
Lin Ji's face was expressionless and he used a little force in his hands.
When Ah Ling felt some pain, she finally stopped.
"Lin, you are cheating!"
"That's a spirit pigeon. Its flying speed is even better than mine. The monsters in the third realm can't even transform. All they can do is fly fast. How can you bear it? How can you get off?
To go mouth?"
"It was too noisy and kept me awake, so I went to scare them."
"Are you trying to scare the pigeons into their stomachs?"
"That little guy had so much spiritual energy that I couldn't hold it back and took a bite."
"Eat one in one bite?"
"I tasted it and thought it tasted good, so I took two more bites...and it was gone."
Hearing this, Lin Ji took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.
The spirit pigeon is a demon specially tamed by the Supervisor Tiansi. Anyone who works in the Supervisor Tiansi will treat the spirit pigeon as a treasure.
It can fly extremely fast, no less than a day-traveling monk. It also has extremely strong endurance, and can easily cross a state without having to rest.
These little guys are said to be the demons of the second and third realms, but apart from flying faster and being more intelligent, they are no different from ordinary poultry and pigeons.
Lin Ji finally let Aling go.
Because from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw, on the wall of the garden on the other side of the courtyard, a beautiful woman in a white dress, looking at him quietly with a smile on her face.
At the same time, Aling also followed Lin Ji's gaze and looked over. When she found someone standing over there without her noticing, she meowed lightly without thinking, jumped to the side and disappeared.
.
"Is that the Moon Shadow Cat Clan from the Demon Kingdom?" Madam Zhong asked.
"yes."
"How can a great demon in the sixth realm be willingly kept by you like a pet? These demon clans are all very arrogant, especially the big clans in the demon kingdom."
"This kitten is different. She is shameless. She was caught by me by chance. I thought she was waiting for the elders of her clan to redeem her, but her elders let her die on her own, so I raised her.
"
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhong nodded slightly, jumped down from the wall, and came to Lin Ji.
Lin Jize quickly passed the chair behind him, while he stood obediently.
After Mrs. Zhong sat down, she first looked Lin Ji up and down, then nodded slightly and said: "I have been walking in Victoria for a few days and heard a lot of news about you. Some said you were ruthless and some said you were bold.
."
Lin Ji smiled.
"Is that what the monks from the sect family said? The first of the three fires I made as my new official was on their heads. It's not surprising that there were two words of resentment."
"I heard that you are going to join Taoism." Mrs. Zhong said again, "I didn't believe it at first, but seeing you, seeing the faint Taoist charm around you... although it is still too much for a monk who has just entered Taoism.
It’s immature, but it’s a sign that you’ve crossed the threshold after all.”
After a pause, Mrs. Zhong stood up and bowed slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, congratulations."
Upon seeing this, Lin Ji immediately understood that Mrs. Zhong had the same idea as Taoist Tiyun.
So he returned the favor.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist... Okay, auntie, I've said my congratulations, please sit down quickly."
Mrs. Zhong nodded and sat down again.
She has always been resolute and resolute, so she said bluntly: "I guess you have guessed that the Zhong family in Xiangzhou is indeed somewhat related to the Xilan Kingdom. After all, my husband Zhong Qilun is a direct descendant of Zhong Chu."
"It's really like this." Lin Ji was not surprised.
"The treasures in the Lancheng ruins are all in the Zhong family. The Zhong family's rise in Xiangzhou among forces such as Sanshengdong and Taiyimen is also thanks to the gifts from our ancestors."
This solved Lin Ji's confusion.
The treasure had been given away long ago, but all the major forces in Victoria are still eyeing the Lancheng ruins.
"Auntie, the red-haired... senior Zhong Chu's trouble has been solved, right?" Lin Ji asked again.
Compared with others, this matter was what Lin Ji was most concerned about.
Keeping such a physically powerful person who is haunted by a half-step ghost king and who may go crazy at any time in Victoria is a destabilizing factor no matter how you think about it.
"Things are a bit troublesome. I don't have any good solution for the time being. I can only force him back to the Lancheng ruins and put a restraint on him. It won't cause any trouble for a while. But this method can't last long, so there will be more in the future.
If you want to find another way...Lin Ji."
"aunt?"
"There is something that I need you to do in the future."
