hey demon

Chapter 35

At the foot of Songyan Mountain, holding a horse and looking up at the cloud-shrouded mountain, Zhang Xu, a policeman from Changhe County, let out a long sigh of relief.

Touching the document in his arms, he fastened the horse, and Zhang Xu climbed up the bluestone stairs without stopping.

This errand is also a rare and good opportunity for Zhang Xu. After all, he can get in touch with cultivators. If he performs well, it is normal to get some generous rewards. To be honest, Zhang Xu was quite surprised that he got this opportunity. .

Climbing all the way, looking at the surrounding vigorous pine trees and the weeds vying to get out of the ground, Zhang Xu always felt that this place was different from other places, but he couldn't tell. In the end, he could only sigh that this place is indeed a holy place for immortals.

Zhang Xu waited silently when he handed over the greeting card outside Changqingguan. When he saw the two big lychee trees at the entrance of the Guankou, which were full of green trees, and there were even some white flower buds hidden between the branches and leaves, Zhang Xu finally understood where it was. No, the spring in Songyan Mountain is obviously much earlier than other places, and it has a vigorous vitality that other places don't have.

"Please come with me."

After receiving Zhang Chunyi's reply, Zhang Zhong invited Zhang Xu in.

Feeling the fierce aura from Zhang Zhong, Zhang Xu's whole body trembled, like a lion or a tiger.

Looking at Zhang Zhong's not burly figure, Zhang Xu only had one thought in his mind, that is, he is a master.

Looking at Zhang Xu who was brought in by Zhang Zhong in Yingsongyuan, Zhang Chunyi looked indifferent.

"Zhang Xu, a police officer from Changhe County, has seen the Immortal Master."

Looking at Zhang Chunyi's immature face, Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment and bowed in salute.

Looking at Zhang Chunyi's age, he was obviously not the Immortal Master Changqingzi he was looking for, but the other party's status must not be low to be able to sit here.

"Master Immortal, I don't know if Master Changqingzi is in the temple. I need to find him for urgent business."

Looking at Zhang Chunyi with a calm face, he gritted his teeth, Zhang Xu still opened his mouth to add something, and then lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Zhang Chunyi.

Hearing this, Zhang Chunyi took a sip of the tea in his cup, and finally spoke.

"Immortal Master Changqingzi passed away a few months ago, don't you know?"

Hearing this, the blood on Zhang Xu's face faded in an instant, and he raised his head in horror, looking at Zhang Chun, who couldn't say a complete sentence for a while.

"This this…"

At this moment, Zhang Xu thought a lot, did the county government really not know about Changqingzi's death?If he knew, why did they issue the mission of eliminating demons, and why did they send him to Songyan Mountain? If he didn't know, then what should he do.

Zhang Xu is not a stupid person. Now he also understands that the county government probably already knows the news of Changqingzi's death. At the same time, he finally understands why this good job fell on him, because it is not a good job at all, but a bad job. , and may even lose their lives.

"Don't be so panic, sit down, and go back up, you and I should be considered a family."

Looking at Zhang Xu with a pale face, he put down his teacup, and Zhang Chunyi spoke. The reason why the other party was selected by the county government as a messenger was not only unlucky, but also because the other party's surname was Zhang. Several generations later, he could have some relationship with the Zhang family in Pingyang. .

This weak blood relationship can be ignored. It is far from being the Zhang family in Pingyang, but it is more or less a connection, and it may save the other party's life. It is very likely that people will vent their anger and beat them to death.

A Zhang family, an ordinary policeman, the result can be imagined.

Seeing Weizhi's works, Zhang Chunyi has a little understanding of the county government's behavior style.

Hearing this, although Zhang Xu was still in shock, feeling Zhang Chunyi's kindness, he cupped his hands and thanked Zhang Chunyi, but he didn't sit down.

"I'm in charge of Changqing Temple now, you can call me Zhang Chunyi, and you can tell me anything."

Looking at Zhang Xu who was still uneasy, Zhang Chunyi did not force himself. In fact, Zhang Chunyi already had some guesses about his intentions.

Hearing this, Zhang Xu felt more and more uneasy. He only felt that the official document and letter in his arms were burning his flesh and heart like a branding iron. Although the other party still maintained a goodwill, after reading the official document, he would still so?This official document is completely a reminder to the current Changqing concept.

He stretched his hand into his bosom, obviously it was a light official document, but Zhang Xu didn't twitch several times.

Looking at such a scene, Zhang Chunyi didn't feel any impatience.

"This is an official document issued by the county government to eliminate demons. Please read it through Master Zhang Xian."

With slightly trembling hands, Zhang Xu took a few steps forward and handed the official document to Zhang Chunyi.

After receiving the document, Zhang Chunyi's expression did not change as he glanced over it, which was almost as he had expected.

In the name of the Dali Dynasty, all the sects are vassals of the dynasty, and have the obligation to serve the dynasty, but up to now, most of the sects have basically listened to the tune and not listened to the announcement.

Focus on the local area, especially the place far away from the center. If a county magistrate wants to handle local government affairs well, most of the time he has to establish a good relationship with the local tycoons and sects and get their support, and these tycoons and sects will not do it. It's too much, hello, hello, hello everyone.

And the order to eliminate demons is a manifestation of the power of the dynasty. When a demon disaster occurs, the local government can issue an order to eliminate demons to the local sect, requiring the local sect to kill the monster.

Of course, dynasties would generally give corresponding rewards for such tasks, and sects would generally not refuse. After all, for immortal cultivators, slaying demons and eliminating demons is also a way to harvest resources, and raising monsters is not cheap.

"Master Zhang Xian, this is a letter that my lord asked me to give to the master of Changqing Temple."

Looking at Zhang Chunyi who remained unchanged after reading the Demon Elimination Order, he hesitated for a moment, and Zhang Xu took out a letter from his bosom.

At this moment, he finally understood why the letter was addressed to Guanzhu Changqing and not to Immortal Master Changqingzi.

After receiving the letter and reading it, a smile appeared on Zhang Chunyi's delicate face, a little cold.

In the letter, Jia Sidao, the magistrate of the county, first expressed his condolences for the death of Changqingzi, and then focused on clarifying his own difficulties. Chaos in Changhe County has begun to appear, and demons and disasters are frequent. He can fight for Changqingguan for a winter. Time is already the limit.

As the only sect in Changhe County, Changqingguan must set an example in this eventful autumn, kill monsters, and contribute to the stability of Changhe County, otherwise other forces will be dissatisfied. After all, Changqingguan occupies a lot of Changhe County. little benefit.

In the end, Jia Sidao also euphemistically expressed that Changqingguan can refuse the demon removal order, and he will mediate from it, as long as Changqingguan gives up part of the benefits.

"Changqing Temple without Changqingzi naturally exists in name only. Although it needs to give up the most important Songyan Mountain, it is not bad to be able to retreat unscathed. It is not ugly to look good. This should have something to do with my identity as Zhangjiazi."

"Changhe County belongs to Pingyang County, and the Zhang family still has some prestige here, but I am not what I used to be now."

Putting away the letter, Zhang Chunyi had already made a decision in his mind.
