Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 1

In the middle of the night, there was light rain in the sky.

Outside Liangcheng, on the small road out of the city, the old horse pulling the cart was humming and hobbling.

The moonlight shone through the leaves and fell on the face of the old man driving the carriage, reflecting a bit of panic beyond words.

Inside the car, a candle was shining through the curtains, shaking from time to time with the bumps of the carriage, and a figure could be vaguely seen reading at night while holding a candle in the car.

On both sides of the path, the sound of insects can be heard endlessly.

Only the sound of wheels rolling over the soil broke the harmony in the forest.

The old man driving the carriage swallowed, carefully poked his head out to look at the rear of the carriage, and just glanced foolishly, he was so frightened that he quickly looked away.

"It's still there." The old man subconsciously touched his forehead, which was already covered with fine sweat.

What the old man was talking about was the young man dressed as a scholar following the carriage.

The young man was about in his early twenties, wearing a faded blue-black gown, and holding a folding fan in his hand.

The folding fan was obviously not opened, but the young man was pretending to swing it, and looked around from time to time.

This attitude doesn't look like a scholar on a night trip, but like a literati and poet out for an outing.

He was carrying a cloth parcel on his back, and a plain long sword was slung around his waist.The red sword tassel flickered as he walked, giving him a sense of agility.

The old man didn't dare to think about the young man's appearance anymore, turned his head to look at the carriage behind him, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, that man has followed all the way."

A moment later, a calm female voice sounded in the carriage.

"Maybe they are going the same way."

"Miss, that man has followed you and me since we entered the city during the day." The old man's voice was low, but his tone was anxious, "We have been driving for a day! This barren mountain and wild ridge does not lead to the front of the village. Don't go to the store, if that person has malicious intentions."

"Then stop for a while, if you're just going the same way, you might as well give him a ride."

"What if not?"

The lady didn't respond anymore, she seemed too lazy to answer the coachman's inquiry, or she didn't know what to do.

The carriage stopped.

In just a few breaths, the young man behind came to the side of the carriage.

He stopped in his tracks, first glanced at the tense coachman, and then set his eyes on the small window of the carriage.

The young man's eyes reflected the candlelight through the car window, shining brightly.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he asked:
"Why don't you go?"

"Young master, I haven't asked for advice yet."

"In Linji, Xiaqingyang County."

"Young Master Lin."

Another moment of silence.

The young lady in the carriage said: "Young master Lin has followed you all the way. May I ask where you are going? If you are on the same road, you might as well go with my master and servant. The road is lonely, and there are many talking companions."

"Not the same way." Lin Ji shook his head.

"Why does the young master keep following behind? Could it be that he has malicious intentions?" The young lady's tone became a little harsher, "The laws of the Great Qin Dynasty are strict, and the young master has a good appearance, so he shouldn't be so unwise."

Hearing Miss's words, Lin Ji was obviously a little surprised, the smile on his face was a little thicker, but he quickly restrained himself.

"Miss, what's your name?"

"Miangui, my surname is Luo."

"Miss Luo is going to the capital, right? The surname is Luo. She should be the envoy of the General Secretary of the current dynasty, Luo Xuan and the daughter of Mr. Luo?"

Naturally, Lin Ji can't distinguish so many based on the word "Luo", but the sedan chair on the carriage has three cloud patterns, which is something that officials are qualified to do.

The three cloud patterns represent the third grade, and the surname Luo is going to the capital, so the guess is logical.

Lin Ji chuckled and said, "Miss Luo, don't worry, I'm not a villain, but I just happen to be going to the capital too."

In the carriage, Miss Luo frowned slightly, and put down the book rolled up in her hand.

"Then you asked me earlier if you were on the same road, why did you deny it?"

Lin Ji didn't answer, but stretched out his hand and said, "Miss, do you have any personal tokens to bring back to the capital?"

"The token?" Miss Luo didn't know why, but felt that Lin Ji was a little baffled.

But thinking this way in her heart, she subconsciously untied a small sachet from her waist and handed it out through the car window.

"This is a sachet made by my mother. I have never left this sachet since I was a child."

After handing over the sachet, Miss Luo came back to her senses, why did she give a stranger her personal belongings.

After Lin Ji took the sachet, he unfolded the folding fan in his hand, shaking it one after another, but ignored Miss Luo, but directly passed the carriage and continued along the path.

The coachman, who was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, only stared at this moment, and said: "Miss, that... that person's fan."

"What happened to the fan?" Miss Luo was puzzled.

"White fan, there is a word 'cut' in it!"

Miss Luo's expression froze.

"Supervisor?"

The reputation of Jiantiansi is even better among the people than the official yamen.

Demons and ghosts are a thousand times more terrifying than the villains who rob houses.

Lin Ji had disappeared in the distance.

But just when Miss Luo was about to order the departure, an erratic voice sounded in the ears of the master and servant.

"Although they all go to the capital city, but people and ghosts take different paths, so how can they be regarded as the same path?"

The master and servant were stunned in place.

"Human ghost. Different ways?" Ms. Luo muttered a few words, as if she understood something.

Looking back, the tired old horse and the coachman who drove the carriage had disappeared.

She picked up the bronze mirror in the carriage, but she couldn't see her own appearance in the mirror.

"Am I dead?"

"A month ago, the eldest daughter of the Luo family in the capital city came to Liangcheng to visit her relatives, but she didn't want to run into a robber on the way."

"The guards of the Luo family caravan died tragically in order to protect the lord, but they also forcibly escorted Miss Luo to a place less than a mile outside Liangcheng. It's a pity that they couldn't find any manpower to go to Liangcheng to ask for help. In the end, they fell short and were chased by gangsters. .”

"According to the clerk of the yamen, Miss Luo committed suicide because she was desperate and didn't want to fall into the wrong hands."

Lin Ji walked alone on the path in the forest, opened the folding fan in his hand and put it on top of his head to block the invasion of rain, but the smile just now could not be seen on his face.

"The ghosts after death think they are still alive, but they still want to go back to the capital." Lin Ji shook his head secretly, "If no one finds out, after going to the capital, the mere ghosts will be shocked by the monstrous dragon energy before they enter the city. I was so frightened that I lost even the chance of being reincarnated."

The current Great Qin Dynasty is just at the time when the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and the dragon veins are churning.

And the capital city is the place where the dragon energy of the country gathers. Ordinary monsters and monsters, let alone entering the city, can't even get close.

Lin Ji rubbed the sachet in his hand.

"If it was usual, a little ghost like this who has never harmed anyone would be let go if he let it go. Good luck."

Lin Ji thought of the case file he had just seen in Liangcheng Supervisor Tiansi not long ago.

To refine souls by killing people in the evil way, it is necessary to burn the ghosts that have not lost consciousness with spiritual fire for seven to seven days to obtain a little soul essence that is better than nothing.

Such pain, even the most tenacious ascetic monk, may not be able to bear it.

In addition, there is Ghost King City outside Liang City, and there are often minions and ghosts under the King of Ghosts wandering around at night, either catching lonely wild ghosts, or killing pedestrians, and then catching lonely wild ghosts.

As for what to do with the arrest, Lin Ji doesn't know, and doesn't want to know.

But it's not a good thing anyway.

"So, it's better to be reincarnated, at least you don't have to suffer after death. Life is only a few decades, but if you become a ghost and are caught by someone, that is the real torture."

Lin Ji took out a small book from his arms, and on the cover of the book were written three large characters of "karma book".

Turning to a blank page, he made two random gestures with his fingertips.

A line of small characters suddenly appeared.

'Miss Luo's sachet in Beijing'

In an instant, Lin Ji felt vaguely that something was entangled with him.

He knew very well that this was Miss Luo's karma, and this karma could only be resolved after returning the sachet.

After the karma recorded in the karma book is settled, Lin Ji will receive some mysterious blessings.

Is it the favor of heaven, or something else?

Lin Ji couldn't figure it out either, maybe it was merit or something.

Anyway, since he came to this world, this karma book has been by his side all the time.

And when he used the karma book to complete the karma he took over, there was no bottleneck in his cultivation, and his journey went smoothly, and his progress was extremely fast.

Only in his early twenties, he has the strength of the third realm to open the spirit realm. This is not a speed that can be explained by talent. After all, he is not from a family and sect, and everything is done by himself.

In addition, every time he completes karma for others, he will get good luck the next day.

Up to practicing epiphany, picking up natural and earthly treasures; down to encountering rare delicacies, or simply picking up money on the road.

Although most of the time, the gift from cause and effect, for Lin Ji, can only be regarded as better than nothing.

But this gift of accomplishing karma for others has never been absent.

"After going to the capital to report on your work, when you leave, go to Luo's house again and return this sachet."

Putting this matter aside for now, Lin Ji saw a mountain temple in front of him.

It happened that the rain in the forest was getting heavier and heavier, so this was a good place to hide from the rain.

The pace was a little faster, almost trotting to the front of the temple, there were fires flickering in the temple, and the voice of conversation sounded.

"It's a pedestrian who is driving at night like me and sheltering from the rain."

Thinking in his heart, Lin Ji cupped his hands at the gate of the temple.

"It's raining heavily in the forest, please make room for me to shelter for a while, and leave as soon as the rain stops."

While speaking, Lin Ji had already stepped into the mountain temple with one foot.

But when he saw the scene in the temple, his face changed suddenly.

"It's a coincidence."

"Everyone, how about I've never been here before?"
