People are in the division of eliminating demons, and martial arts have evolved by themselves

Chapter 36 Linjiang City

"Master has been away for a month, and I only received a letter saying he is safe."

"Did the Heavenly Star Palace not receive any other letters?" Zhou You pondered.

"Yes, this letter was sent together with yours." Slender seemed to have known Zhou Youhui's question for a long time, and took out a letter from his sleeve.

Travel around to open it.

The familiar black writing came into view.

There is a lot of fog and a pool of deep water.

徐凌
This style of letter writing, Zhou You knew at a glance that it was written by Xu Ling.

"Judging from Xu Ling's letter, I'm afraid this disappearance case is very complicated. You must proceed carefully."

"You have to remember that your task this time is to investigate. If you find that the situation exceeds your handling range, you should go back and report it first, and we will naturally send someone to deal with it."

The slender man reminded.

Xu Ling is a veteran demon slayer, and now even he is caught in this disappearance case. The water is really deep.

Originally, he planned to upgrade this task first, but now there are some situations in the east of Qingzhou, and there is really no manpower, so he can only ask Zhou You to investigate first.

But Zhou You's talent is so outstanding that even he has a heart of cherishing talent.

After thinking for a while, the slender man took out a piece of yellow talisman paper and handed it to Zhou You.

"This is an inspirational talisman. If you encounter something urgent, just write the content on the talisman paper and burn it, and I will receive your message. It doesn't matter how far you are."

After Zhou You listened, he carefully looked at the yellow talisman paper in his hand.

This talisman paper feels as smooth and tender as a baby's skin, and there is a mysterious and obscure rune drawn in the middle, which gives people a wonderful feeling.

Zhou You had heard of this method before.

This is the method of divine cultivation.

These people who practice spirituality do not cultivate the qi and blood of the physical body, but only cultivate the way of the soul, pursuing the so-called ascension of the soul.

These people have many miraculous methods, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of warriors, and they are even more difficult to deal with.

Because these people don't value the physical body at all, if they want to destroy their spiritual cultivation, they can only kill their souls.

This is also Zhou You's first contact with spiritual cultivation in the true sense.Quite curious.

"Okay, I've explained everything I can, when do you plan to leave?" the slender man asked.

"Now." Zhou You put away the yellow talisman carefully and said softly.

"Then let's go, I know you are impatient." The slender man smiled.

Zhou You bid farewell and left.

He first went back to the yard to pack his luggage, brought enough pills, borrowed a horse, and set off directly.

Linjiang City is located in the south of Qingzhou, and it is five days away from Qingzhou City. In addition, Xu Ling has been missing for 20 days. At this moment, traveling around is extremely anxious, and he dare not waste any time.

Along the way, he ate and slept in the open, and ran all night.

Fortunately, the horses of the Exorcist are all Maxima, otherwise he would have been exhausted to death.

Finally, let him come to Linjiang City at noon on the fourth day, shortening the time by almost a day and a half.

Linjiang City, as the name suggests, there is a big river next to the city.

This big river is called Mingyue River, and it is the main waterway of Qingzhou, and the trade is extremely prosperous.

Thanks to the blessing of Mingyue River, Linjiang City built a large wharf and prospered day by day, becoming one of the dozen big cities in Qingzhou with a population of over one million.

Also known as Fucheng.

The administrative units of Qingzhou are divided into villages, counties, prefectures, and states.

The state among them is Qingzhou City, which is also the highest administrative unit in Qingzhou.

There are more than a dozen prefectural cities under Zhoucheng, and Linjiang City is one.

On this day, this prefecture, which prospered by waterways, welcomed a special guest.

Demon slayers have uniform costumes, but when they act outside, in order not to attract attention, they basically wear clothes.

Zhou You was wearing a black exercise suit, with a demon-slaying knife on his waist, and he looked like a knight-errant.

The Dayin Dynasty did not ban weapons, and there was no such thing as a curfew, so Zhou You's attire was not conspicuous.

It's just that walking on the street with a saber can easily attract the attention of street patrolling police.

Of course, as a traveling tour, these are not problems.

Chu Mosi was in the outskirts of Qingzhou City, Zhou You had never been there.

This Linjiang city can be called the first big city he stepped into after he came to this world.

When he came to the city gate, Zhou You felt the prosperity of Linjiang City.

The huge city gate is full of people entering and leaving.

There are young masters in brocade clothes and jade robes, wealthy daughters with a large group of maids, handsome scholars, but most of them are hard workers with bunts and dark skin.

Linjiang Wharf is extremely prosperous, naturally there are many hard workers and sailors.

When passing through the city gate, Zhou You was only allowed to go through after asking a few questions as a matter of routine.

Mainly Zhou You has a tall and slender body, his eyes are like lightning, and his face is stern, making him look very difficult to mess with.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city only want to get off work safely, and it is better to have one thing less than one more thing.

The streets of Linjiang City are very spacious and can accommodate four carriages to pass at the same time.

Along the way, there are buskers on the street, vendors shouting on the roadside, children playing and laughing, and people coming and going.

Banks, pawnshops, tea houses, restaurants... Even Zhou You was thrown a handkerchief by the prostitute upstairs when he passed by a brothel.

Everywhere you look, there is a bustling scene.

This makes Zhou You, who grew up in the cold and ruthless steel forest, have a different feeling.

But Zhou You didn't linger for too long, and his master Xu Ling was still missing, so he wasn't in the mood.

He didn't choose to go to the government office to find out the situation first, but by asking passers-by, he came to a very remote alley.

This place is far less prosperous than the other side of the city, and the houses are all dilapidated, and the pedestrians passing by have sad faces, and their clothes are all patched.

Soon, Zhou You came to a dilapidated small courtyard.

After confirming the address, start knocking on the door.

dong dong dong~
Knocked three times, but there was no response.

dong dong dong.

Knocked three more times, still no response.

Zhou You frowned slightly.

It's noon now, there should be someone in this courtyard.

"what"

At this time, a scream came from the other side of the alley.

Zhou You Xunsheng walked over and found a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair and a thin and gray face lying on the ground.

A man with mischievous eyebrows said cursingly, "Hurry up, hand over all the money you have on you."

"No. I have no money." The woman shook her head slowly.

"If you don't have any money, go to hell!" The man raised his foot and kicked the woman.

Click!

Before he could hit the kick, he was sent flying a few meters away by a terrible impact, and his ribs broke directly.

"Boy, are you looking for death!" The man spat blood, resisted the severe pain and stood up, unexpectedly took out a gleaming dagger.

Zhou You stared at the man with cold eyes.

In an instant, the man felt as if he was being watched by some prehistoric beast, and his body trembled in fright.

"Get out~" Zhou You said lightly.

The man turned around and ran, only regretting that he didn't have two extra legs.
