The group of three quickly arrived at the room behind the county government office.
Magistrate Lou was still waiting outside the door, saying that he was old and frail and had old illnesses, and did not want to see other patients.
In this regard, Lin Ji said nothing and walked into the room with Zhong Xiaoyan.
The moment he stepped into the room, Lin Ji's brows furrowed. This time, even Zhong Xiaoyan's expression changed slightly.
The two looked at each other and almost spoke in unison.
"Ghost spirit."
The coldness in this room was familiar to both of them. It was clearly the remnants of ghostly energy.
"It seems that these so-called government servants who are infected with wind and cold are not actually infected with wind and cold, but have been infected by ghost energy."
Lin Ji took a step forward and woke up the government servant who was sleeping on the bed in front of him.
Just at the moment when the yamen servant opened his eyes, with a thought in his mind, a burst of spiritual power knocked him out again.
His spiritual consciousness explored the yamen servant's body for a moment, and sure enough, he found the remaining ghost energy in his body.
"It's because ghost energy has entered the body, so the evil spirit must be a ghost... To be able to catch the head-catching monster in Luoxia County in one go is to say that he is a fourth-level ghost general." Lin Ji said.
Zhong Xiaoyan waved her hand at the side, and a flash of fire flashed, and most of the coldness in the room suddenly dissipated.
"These Lihuo can slowly eliminate the ghost energy in the room without hurting the bodies of these government officials." After explaining casually, Zhong Xiaoyan added, "If there are only ghost generals, even if they cannot be defeated, it is impossible to defeat them all.
Leave."
"That's right...how is Zhong Lei's Lihuo training going?" Lin Ji asked.
"His bloodline is thin, but Li Huo can restrain ghosts. Although he is only in the third realm, if he wants to escape, if he is just a ghost general, he probably won't be chasing him for a long time."
"That's Gui Shuai. Gui Shuai is only in the fifth and sixth realms, so it's not difficult to handle." Lin Ji nodded slightly, and then left the room with Zhong Xiaoyan.
Outside the room, Magistrate Lou was still waiting at the door obediently.
Seeing Lin Ji and two others coming out, he quickly asked: "How are you two adults?"
"It's not the wind and cold, it's the ghost energy entering the body. I've already used methods, and they can recover in three to five days." Zhong Xiaoyan said.
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Lou was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his thanks.
Lin Ji asked: "Where is Luofengpo?"
"After leaving Luoxia County, you can see more than ten miles to the south. There is a mountain forest. Walk along the mountain road for half an hour and you will see a cliff, which is Luofengpo." Lou
The county magistrate said.
Lin Ji nodded slightly and looked at Zhong Xiaoyan.
"Go directly to the place where the incident occurred. If you are lucky, the ghost might still be there."
"Let's go." Zhong Xiaoyan is not a sloppy person. With Lin Ji by her side, she naturally has nothing to hesitate.
...
In the evening, in front of Luofengpo.
Two figures stood on the edge of the cliff, facing the setting sun in the west, their eyes falling on the bottomless cliff in front of them.
These two people are a man and a woman. The woman has a beautiful face, but there is a bit of vicissitudes in her eyes.
The man was wearing a black robe, and his appearance and figure could not be clearly seen.
I don’t know how long it took, but the woman spoke first.
"Zhou Li, you have gone too far with the Jiuying incident. That spirit has now killed thousands of people in Victoria. If this continues, if it attracts the attention of Supervisor Tiansi... you know the consequences."
"Feng Zhiruo, you are too lenient." Zhou Li's tone was cold, mixed with a bit of a don't let strangers in attitude.
He turned to look at Feng Zhiruo, his face under the shadow showing a bit of ridicule.
"You two can't even catch a red-haired god. What you did for a trivial matter is known to everyone in Victoria. Now the red-haired god is missing, and your sidelong hair has even lost its life... Feng Zhi
If so, where do you have the face to make irresponsible remarks in front of me?"
Hearing these words, Feng Zhiruo's face suddenly turned ugly.
Whether it was the disdain or ridicule in Zhou Li's tone, or the so-called parallel-headed remarks, they all made her feel angry.
But she finally endured it.
"The one who is in charge of Weizhou now is Lin Ji, who is at the height of his power in Supervising Tiansi. This man is blessed with great fortune and his methods are quite ruthless... I heard that he is about to enter Taoism. If he comes to your door, even you will
There’s no benefit to be gained.”
Feng Zhiruo took a deep breath and continued: "Those of us who are hiding from the sky should understand that good and evil will be punished under the law of heaven. Now that you are so unscrupulous and harming innocent people, you will one day receive retribution."
"Oh, so what about retribution?" Zhou Li looked at Feng Zhiruo and said frivolously, "Then Lin Ji is just a junior and can be destroyed with a snap of his fingers... But you, who was one of the supreme masters of the Taiyi Sect back then, how can you survive now?
Walking on thin ice?”
"We are just living under the law of heaven, walking on thin ice. What's wrong with that?" Feng Zhiruo calmed down at this time, and the provocative words she had previously forgotten.
"Zhou Li, it has nothing to do with me whether you die or not. What I'm worried about is that you implicate us! If Supervisor Tiansi finds out any clues and implicates us...even if you don't die in the hands of Supervisor Tiansi,
I won’t let you go either.”
Hearing this, Zhou Li rarely spoke back, but after a moment of silence, he nodded slightly.
He was not afraid of just Feng Zhiruo, but this time Feng Zhiruo came to him, it was obviously not just her intention.
"Jiu Ying has matured. As long as he finds the red-haired god and swallows his soul, Jiu Ying can occupy the ice and fire veins under Lan City... Hehe, the world only thinks that it is the spiritual vein, but they don't know what it is.
It’s the earth dragon of Victoria, it’s the dragon vein!”
Zhou Li's laughter was full of pride.
"It's not in vain that I have been lurking in the Tantric Sect for many years. If I hadn't found out the news about Lancheng earlier and allowed you to have a friendship with Zhong Chu in advance, how could this matter have gone so smoothly?"
Speaking of this, Zhou Li suddenly frowned and froze.
"What's wrong?" Feng Zhiruo asked.
Zhou Li smiled.
"Hey, people from Supervisor Tiansi are here."
Feng Zhiruo's face changed slightly.
"How is that possible? Didn't you say it was done very covertly?"
"That was before." Zhou Li said with a smile, "A few days ago, the head catcher from Luoxia County at the foot of the mountain took the demon catcher up the mountain. At that time, Jiu Ying was already close to maturity. If it were a mortal life, it would take at least hundreds of lives.
But if it belongs to a monk..."
Having said this, Zhou Li suddenly waved his hand impatiently.
"Let's go. It's not your turn to show up anyway. I still have to do this dirty work."
Hearing this, Feng Zhiruo sighed slightly, stepped lightly, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Then her ethereal voice slowly fell.
"Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death. Zhou Li, I was just thinking about our acquaintance. That's why I talked nonsense. You can do it yourself."
Zhou Li sneered and looked up the mountain.
"Oh, you know it's nonsense but you still say it."
