Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 2 Ghost Soldiers
Lin Ji thought to himself that he usually does good deeds, so he shouldn't be so unlucky.

Although the Ghost King City is famous, it is located between the capitals of the capital city and Liangcheng.

Logically speaking, in the mountain temple next to the majestic official road, there are only a few ghost soldiers occasionally, and there shouldn't be so many of them.

Ghost pawns are ghosts that are superior to ordinary ghosts.

In fact, any man with a strong blood will not be afraid of the attack of ghost soldiers.

But that was just a single ghost pawn.

At this moment in the mountain temple, more than a dozen ghost soldiers are forming a circle, and they are surrounded by three extremely weak scholars.

Two of the scholars had already fallen asleep.

The scholar in the middle is still awake, but his face is full of fear, obviously aware of what happened.

The moment Lin Ji stepped into the mountain temple, all the ghost soldiers' eyes were on him.

Suddenly being stared at by more than a dozen ghost soldiers, even though he was not afraid, Lin Ji still felt a little uncomfortable.

This is the natural taboo of living people towards dead things.

At this moment, the scholar who was only sober shouted quickly: "The ghost is fierce, go to Liangcheng to report to the officials, and ask Tiansi to come!"

Lin Ji shook his head.

Ghost soldiers do things entirely by instinct. This kind of ghost that is about to turn into a ghost but has lost its intelligence is the most delicious food in the eyes of strangers.

It was too late to leave at this time, the ghost soldiers gave up on the three dying scholars and rushed towards Lin Ji.

More than a dozen ghost soldiers gathered in one place, and the ghost aura was no less than that of ordinary ghosts.In an instant, the entire mountain temple was filled with black smoke and ghostly aura.

"Ghost soldiers are not troublesome. But this place is close to the Ghost King City. These ghost soldiers dare to harm people on the official road like this. Most of them are ordered by the ghost general or even the ghost commander behind them."

Lin Ji thought about it, and with a flick of his hand, the long sword at his waist was out of its sheath.

Seeing that the ghost pawn who was rushing to the front had already approached, he took his time and slashed out with a sword lightly.

"The Tao is in me, and the God comes out of my heart."

The green light flickered on the edge of the sword, and the ghost soldier didn't even hold on for a moment, it directly turned into a black smoke, and his soul disappeared.

The disappearance of one ghost soldier seemed to stimulate the remaining ghost soldiers.

The ghost aura in the temple became stronger again, but the ghost soldiers were just ghost soldiers after all.

This kind of ghost, even a monk who has just entered the first level of body refining, can easily deal with it, not to mention that Lin Ji has already cultivated in the third level of opening the spirit. There is restraint.

After just a few breaths, the dozens of ghost soldiers in the temple were cleaned up by Lin Ji.

The ghosts have been removed, but the ghostly aura in the temple has not dissipated. This kind of filth is naturally indifferent to Lin Ji, but to the three unlucky scholars in the temple, it is enough to make them seriously ill.

So Lin Ji put away his long sword and made another one-handed tactic.

"The heaven and the earth are natural, the filth is scattered, the cave is mysterious and empty, and the Taiyuan is shining brightly."

"Disperse!"

A gust of wind suddenly rose, sweeping the foul air in the temple, and dissipating it between the heaven and the earth.

After finishing all this, Lin Ji turned his attention to the scholar.

At this time, only the sober scholar was dumbfounded.

Originally thinking that he was bound to die, who would have thought that this person in front of him would be so powerful, he wiped out all the ghosts in the temple in two or three strokes.

"Under Liu Chengru, thank you for saving your life, brother, but you are from Tiansi?"

"Head arrest in Qingyang County, Lin Ji."

"Capture the head? No wonder." Liu Chengru understood.

In the yamen of each city and county, there are demon catchers on duty, who kill demons and eliminate demons to protect the safety of the people.

And those who can become headhunters are naturally the best among them.

Lin Ji checked the condition of the other two unconscious scholars.

It was just that they were too frightened and fainted. Before the ghost soldiers could make a real move, Lin Ji ruined their good deed.

Lin Ji looked at Liu Chengru, saw Liu Chengru's concerned face, and said with relief: "It's nothing, it's just that I was too frightened, and I will wake up in a while."

"Great." Liu Chengru breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Lin, if it weren't for you tonight, the three of us might all be killed by that ghost soldier."

Lin Ji shook his head to signal Liu Chengru not to care.

The rain outside the temple was still falling, Lin Ji simply picked up a few dry firewood in the temple, and lit a small fire to keep out the cold.

Not long after, the remaining two scholars also woke up.

These two people are named Fang Yishan and Ming Tianming.

After learning that they were rescued by Lin Ji, the two expressed their thanks again.

The four of them chatted one after another in the temple.

During the conversation, Lin Ji learned that these three were all from Xiangzhou, and they were the top three in the imperial examination in Xiangzhou.

This time they went to Beijing to rush for the exam. If there were no accidents, these three people would have a high probability of being named in the gold list in the future.

But this has nothing to do with Lin Ji.

Although the demon hunters from all over the country are under the jurisdiction of county magistrates in name, they actually report their duties, but they are looking for the governors of Jiantiansi towns in the state capitals.

The civil service system can't control the head of Tiansi, even if these three people really have a bright future, they have nothing to do with him, Lin Ji.

Even if there was, he didn't bother to dig in.

Leaving Liu Chengru and the others alone, Lin Ji opened the package on his own and took out a small cloth bag.

This action also caught the attention of Liu Chengru and the others.

They subconsciously stopped to talk and watched Lin Ji's movements seriously.

Lin Ji carefully opened the three inner and outer layers of the tightly wrapped small cloth bag, revealing the true face inside.

Three biscuits sprinkled with sesame seeds.

"Brother Lin, it's just three biscuits, why are you so cautious?" Fang Yishan couldn't help asking.

Speaking of food, Lin Ji immediately became excited.

"It's just sesame seed cakes? These are sesame seed cakes from the old Li's sesame seed shop next to the county government office in Qingyang County. They only bake three ovens a day, and you can't even buy them in line."

Lin Ji found a branch, and after a simple cleaning, he used the branch to pass through the biscuits and placed them on top of the firewood pile.

"If I hadn't been going on a long trip this time, and paid a lot of money for that fellow Li to open an oven for me, if I wanted to buy these biscuits on weekdays, I would have to get up and wait for it. It was late, but I can't buy it anymore."

While talking, the old Li family's secret biscuits sprinkled with sesame seeds have been roasted by firewood, exuding a burnt aroma.

Liu Chengru swallowed, but with the reservedness of a literati, he couldn't ask any more questions.

Lin Ji ignored them, and ate one of them, and then roasted the second one.

After eating the two biscuits, Lin Ji picked up the gourd filled with water and took two big mouthfuls before sighing contentedly.

After wrapping the remaining sesame seed cake with three layers inside and three layers outside, Lin Ji said to Liu Chengru and the others: "Take a rest quickly, we should go on our way at dawn. There are still two small children on the way to the capital." The nearest town is only twenty miles away, not too far away."

"When you get to the town, it's not too late to rest for a few days before starting. You've been invaded by ghost soldiers. Seeing how weak you are, you're bound to be seriously ill tomorrow."

"Thank you for reminding me." Liu Chengru and the others quickly thanked them.

Lin Ji waved his hand, then found a comfortable corner, closed his eyes and began to recover his energy.

time flies.

After resting for less than two hours, Lin Ji suddenly opened his eyes, frowning slightly.

He woke up from the cold.

Logically speaking, after cultivating the first body tempering state, the cold and heat should not invade.

But he was awakened by a chill.

Moreover, when he fell asleep, it was not far from dawn.Logically speaking, it should have been bright outside at this time.

But when Lin Ji looked outside the temple gate, it was still a long night and heavy rain poured down.

"Something's wrong." Lin Ji got up quickly, glanced at the three scholars around the fire, saw that they were sleeping soundly, and walked out of the mountain temple without disturbing them.

The mountain wind blew the torrential rain, and the water droplets hit Lin Ji's face.

With a little fishy smell.

is blood.

Lin Ji sighed lightly.

"Ghost Realm."
