Kill demons and eliminate demons, gain 60 years of skill at the beginning

Chapter 24 Search
As expected, there was a conflict at the gate of the city last night. Someone noticed something was wrong and wanted to escape overnight, but fortunately, Gu Chen was prepared and ordered Wu Qian to send people to seal the city overnight. The person subdued on the spot, turned into merit points, and contributed to him.

After staying up all night, Gu Chen was young and strong, and his cultivation was successful, so staying up all night would not have any effect on him.

But Zhou Rang was different, he was already old, and he was just an ordinary person, so he stayed up all night with Gu Chen, it was really hard for this old man.

Early the next morning, Zhou Rang was sitting in the county office drinking tea, leaning back on the chair, his old face looked very haggard.

"It's nice to be young." Looking at Gu Chen who had been running around for half a night and stayed up all night, but was still radiant, Zhou Rang said with emotion.

Regarding this, Gu Chen smiled slightly, and said, "Mr. Zhou really worked hard this night."

Afterwards, he stretched out his palm and placed it on Zhou Rang's wrist. The thick inner breath in his body flowed along the meridians and entered Zhou Rang's body.

Nourished by Gu Chen's inner breath, Zhou Rang's spirit was shaken immediately, his deficient body was replenished, and there was a burst of warmth in his body, which made him sweep away his previous haggard look.

The old man twisted the teacup in his hands, squinted his eyes and sat there, enjoying it very much.

"Master Lao Gu." Seeing that Gu Chen withdrew his palm, Zhou Rang smiled and cupped his hands to Gu Chen.

"Where is it, Mr. Zhou is too polite."

There was also a smile on Gu Chen's face. He glanced at the sky and said, "It's almost time. I think the Patriarchs should be ready."

"Wu Gan."

Gu Chen recruited Wu Qian and ordered him to lead people to set off immediately.

Afterwards, Gu Chen and Zhou Rang also left the county government office. They had discussed last night that Ningcheng has a total population of 15. House-to-house searches are too time-consuming. I don’t know how long it will take to thoroughly investigate. The city can be closed for a while, but if If this happens for a long time, it will inevitably cause people to panic.

Therefore, after discussion, Gu Chen and Zhou Rang decided to divide Ningcheng into four areas and search one area every day. In this way, if there is no accident, it only takes four days to completely eliminate the lurking in Ningcheng. All ghosts.

Of course, the reason why Gu Chen dared to do this and gather everyone together was also due to his absolute confidence in his own strength. As long as there were ghosts appearing, he would immediately suppress them without affecting other people.

After all, if the ghosts in Ningcheng were really strong enough, they would not choose to hide, and would have devoured everyone in Ningcheng long ago.

And the first ones to be searched today were naturally these prominent families in Ningcheng, because the three ghosts discovered last night all came from these families.

Gu Chen came to the Sun's house first, and Sun Li had already led the whole family to wait for a long time. Today, he no longer had the arrogance of last night, and stood there respectfully, waiting for Gu Chen's arrival.

After arriving at the Sun's house, Gu Chen didn't have any extra words. The population of the Sun's family was about the same as that of the Fang's family. After spending some time confirming that there were no ghosts in the Sun's house except Sun Changzhi, Gu Chen left here.

There are seven prominent families in Ningcheng. The Fang family was searched by Gu Chen before, and the Sun family was thoroughly investigated just now. Now there are only five families left including the Zhou family.

Next, Gu Chen visited each house one by one. After what happened last night, it seems that all the ghosts in each family have been wiped out, and there is nothing new to discover.

After searching these few houses, Gu Chen came to the temporary place set up by Wu Gan and the county government staff, where the people of Ningcheng had already been waiting here in groups.

The sudden closure of the city, plus today's events, made the people of Ningcheng a little dazed and panicked, but fortunately, Zhou Rang was by Gu Chen's side, and he stepped forward to appease these people.

The Zhou family has lived in Ningcheng for many years and has a good reputation. Zhou Rang was once the sheriff of Qingyang County. He is honest and fair, and has a good reputation in Ningcheng. In recent years, he often ordered people to set up a shed to share porridge for the benefit of the people. The poor people of Ningcheng.

With this old man around, the people of Ningcheng will naturally cooperate extremely.

By the time it was over, it was already dusk when the sun was setting in the west, and today's search was completely over, and no ghosts appeared in this area.

Time passed, and another three days passed. Gu Chen searched Ning Cheng thoroughly. During this period, he found three ghosts hidden in the crowd, all of whom were killed by his palm. suppressed to a minimum.

After spending four consecutive days perceiving demons, Gu Chen also felt physically and mentally exhausted, and a tired look appeared on his face.

Since Gu Chen came to Ningcheng, in just a few days, he had already beheaded nine demons, including a martial artist who was comparable to the meridian. Fortunately, it was Gu Chen who came to Ningcheng this time. Any other patrol envoy would not be able to solve this situation in Ning Cheng, and it is even very likely that he would be deeply involved in it.

Of course, although the process was a bit laborious, the rewards were extremely rich. The search in the past few days brought Gu Chen more than 60 points of merit.

Except for the fact that he had just arrived in this world and accepted the original owner's net worth, Gu Chen had never been this rich before.

Such a lot of skill points are enough to give Gu Chen a great improvement, allowing him to open up more meridians and accumulate a more profound background in the meridian-opening state.

Even Gu Chen, who has always been prudent, felt a little overwhelmed with joy at this moment.

Of course, besides the joy, Gu Chen also felt a sense of urgency.

The whole county of Ningcheng is already like this. It is hard to imagine how many ghosts are lurking in other places, the entire Qingyang County, even Qiongtian Mansion, even the entire Great Xia, and even Kyushu?
And so many ghosts, how many innocent people will die tragically?
"It seems that the calamity of demons and ghosts has become more and more serious, and it is very likely that it has already eroded Daxia, and even the entire Kyushu." Gu Chen thought secretly.

Ghosts are not only threatening Daxia, but the entire Kyushu. Because of the existence of ghosts, they are born on the opposite side of all races in Kyushu, or living beings. As long as they are living beings, they cannot escape the plunder of ghosts.

No one knows the origin and origin of the ghosts, nor do they know how they appeared in Kyushu.

At least, Gu Chen cannot be searched in the original owner's memory at all, and there is no relevant record in Jingtiansi.

The only thing Gu Chen knew was that ghosts first appeared more than 300 years ago, and that was the first time Kyushu learned of their existence.

Up to now, more than three hundred years have passed, and the human race of Jiuzhou has not figured out where the ghosts come from. They seem to have appeared out of thin air, and there are no rules and methods to find them.

As Gu Chen is a member of Jingtiansi, Jingtiansi's job is to eliminate demons, so it is completely inevitable for Gu Chen to face and fight against demons.

Even if you quit Jingtian Division, the origin of the ghosts is a mystery and their whereabouts are unpredictable. No place is absolutely safe, and the number of ghosts has been increasing in recent years, and quitting Jingtian Division does not mean safety.

On the contrary, as long as Gu Chen keeps killing demons in Jingtiansi, he can continuously improve his own strength. Only in this way can he have the ability to protect himself in such a dangerous world, and even protect his family.

What's more, Jingtian Division is the most important institution in Daxia. By killing demons and gaining meritorious service, Gu Chen can also exchange various treasures of exercises in Jingtian Division to further strengthen his own strength.

After searching for four days in a row, Gu Chen was mentally and mentally exhausted. At dusk, when he returned to his room, he did not choose to practice and polish his inner breath as usual, but fell into a deep sleep.

At this point, the matter of Ning Cheng had come to an end, but what Gu Chen didn't know was that the Gu family was facing a crisis right now.
