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

Chapter 8

The county magistrate of Ningcheng was named Fang Yong, a middle-aged man with a pale face and a few strands of beard. He had served in Ningcheng for 12 years and was loved by the people.

"My lord, this is Gu Chengu Xunshou who came from Tiandu Jingtiansi." Wu Gan clasped his fists at Fang Yong and said respectfully.

Hearing this, Fang Yong's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Chen's youthful appearance. He hurriedly walked up to him, gave a salute, and said, "Fang Yong, magistrate of Ningcheng County, has met Master Gu Chen."

The magistrate of Ningcheng is a seventh-rank official, and Gu Chen is the first-rank patrol envoy of Jingtian Division. Although he does not have a specific official title, he is still half a rank higher than the seventh-rank official in Daxia. .

"Master Fang doesn't need to be so polite." Seeing this, Gu Chen helped Fang Yong up.

Afterwards, the two sat down, Fang Yong personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Chen, and asked, "When did Master Gu come to Ningcheng?"

Gu Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Yesterday, after I received the news, I set off directly from Tiandu. It was Ningcheng who arrived this morning."

"Does Mr. Gu have a place to stay? If you don't dislike it, there are still many vacant rooms in Ningcheng's county government." Fang Yong said with a smile on his face.

"No need, thank you Master Fang for your kindness." Gu Chen declined politely, and then said: "Master Fang can call me by my name or Gu Xunshou directly. You don't need to call me Master Gu, it seems a bit too natural."

"Yes, that's right, what Gu Xunshou said is true." Fang Yong nodded, smiling, and said enthusiastically, "Gu Xunshou just arrived in Ningcheng, and I haven't had time to eat yet. Let Wu Gan go and buy some food."

As he spoke, he prepared to greet Wu Qian who was standing aside respectfully.

"No need, Mr. Fang, I have already tasted Ningcheng's snacks before I came here, I can put these small things aside for a while, now let's discuss the serious matters first." Gu Chen stopped Fang Yong.

"Okay, okay, of course it's okay, I didn't think carefully." Fang Yong patted his forehead, and then said to Wu Gan: "Wu Butou, please come and explain the specific situation for Gu Xunshou."

"Yes!"

Wu Gan nodded, and introduced the whole story to Gu Chen.

It turned out that a few days ago, someone reported to the county government that all the villagers in Liujia Village, fifty miles away, suddenly disappeared overnight.

And the person who reported the case was a villager from Liujia Village. He stayed in Ningcheng for one night because he went to the city to do business. When he returned, there was no one in the whole village, not even the livestock.

This strange situation frightened the villager, so he hurried back to Ningcheng to report the crime.

After learning about this, Fang Yong immediately sent Wu Gan to check the scene. He searched inside and out several times, but found no useful clues except for the slightly strong evil spirit in the village.

Therefore, Wu Qian had no choice but to return to Ningcheng with his subordinates first, and reported the situation to Fang Yong. After discussing with Fang Yong, the two decided to report the matter immediately and let the capital Jingtian The department sent someone to deal with it.

After listening to Wu Qian's description, Fang Yong looked at Gu Chen and said, "I don't know what Gu Xunshou's opinion is?"

Gu Chen pondered for a moment, and said: "It's not a good opinion, but for the specifics, I might have to go to the scene to have a look first."

Gu Chen, who has integrated the memory of the original owner, knows that the reason why these ghosts and monsters are so difficult is because of their weird and unpredictable methods.

In the original owner's memory, there were several times when the original owner was clearly stronger than those monsters, but still almost stumbled in front of them, because of this reason.

Therefore, to deal with these monsters and monsters, it is useless to just listen to Wu Qian's words. He must go to the scene to have a look before he can draw a conclusion.

"Okay, then I will immediately ask Wu Qian to take Gu Xunshou to check on the scene with you."

Fang Yong said, then he turned his head and gave Wu Gan an order, saying: "Wu Gan, I order you to gather people immediately and take Gu Xunshou to Liujia Village as quickly as possible. Shou is the master, don't neglect Gu Xunshou's orders in the slightest, if there is any problem, I only ask you, do you know?"

"As ordered!"

Wu Gan lowered his head and cupped his fists, and then he said to Gu Chen, "Gu Xunshou, please follow me."

"Master Gu, I will leave this matter to you. I thank you in advance on behalf of all the people in Ningcheng. I will wait for your smooth return in Ningcheng!" Fang Yong stood up with a serious face, and turned to Gu Chenshi. I saluted.

"Master Fang, don't worry, this is what I should do." Gu Chen said seriously, and bowed back with fists.

Afterwards, he and Wu Qian left the inner hall together. On the way, Gu Chen asked Wu Qian, "Captain Wu, Master Fang is also a martial artist?"

Hearing this, Wu Qian was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why Gu Chen had such doubts, but he still replied: "Master Fang seems to have had a period of martial arts practice before he became an official, but it was not long, and for so many years, Mr. Fang It doesn't feel like a warrior to me, even if it is, it shouldn't exceed the body training level."

Gu Chen nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. When the two came to the outer hall, Wu Qian began to roll their names, and the arresters whom he had called came out one after another and stood behind him.

"set off!"

Following Wu Qian's order, Gu Chen followed them all the way out of the city and arrived at Liujia Village, fifty miles away from Ningcheng.

When approaching Liujia Village, Gu Chen suddenly felt a sense of discomfort.

There was a vague coldness that appeared through the skin, trying to penetrate his body through his pores.

This feeling is the same as what Gu Chen felt when he held the soul crystal in his hand. This is the aura that belongs exclusively to evil spirits. They are extremely yin and evil, and they are completely opposite to living beings. Every evil spirit is like this.

Judging by the experience of the original owner, Gu Chen concluded that the evil spirit must have stayed in Liujia Village for a long time, otherwise there would not be such a strong aura left.

Gu Chen frowned, and the thick inner breath in his body circulated a little, completely clearing away the cold feeling that had invaded his body.

"Gu Xunshou, we're here." At this moment, Wu Qian said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded, and he found that when he really stepped into Liu's Village, the faint feeling of coldness became much stronger than before.

That is to say, Gu Chen and his group are all warriors, even the weakest ones have achieved the Great Perfection of Body Training, so they can be safe and sound in a short period of time.

If ordinary people come here, let alone more than half an hour, they are very likely to be seriously ill, and those who are more serious, or weaker, may even die on the spot.

This is the harm that evil spirits do to ordinary people.

Moreover, the strength of the remaining evil energy in this place is not like what can be brought by random weirdness, so it is no wonder that Wu Gan chose to report to Jing Tiansi.

Gu Chen was dressed in black clothes, with a long sword on his waist, and walked towards the village first. Along the way, the entire Liujia Village was very quiet. It could even be said that the quietness made people feel a little scared. There was no sound at all, and even a living thing could see not see.

The most surprising thing is that everything in the village is well-arranged, without any trace of being tampered with, and it is extremely tidy.

This will give the impression that all the villagers seem to disappear out of thin air at the same time.

"How could it be so quiet, not even a bird?" Feeling the unusual silence, Gu Chen frowned slightly.

Beside him, some policemen seemed a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere here. They rubbed their hands, and some even touched the back of their necks, feeling as if a cool breeze was blowing.

"Gu Xunshou, did you find anything?" Wu Qian asked, when he first came last time, he was like Gu Chen, with a puzzled look on his face, but he couldn't find any clues.

Moreover, because they stayed here for too long, they searched the entire village from the third floor to the third floor. As a result, after returning, several weaker subordinates contracted serious illnesses, and they have not recovered until now.

It is precisely because of this that the arrests he brought today are all the most powerful.

Gu Chen didn't speak, he was searching from house to house.

Seeing this, Wu Gan just sighed, didn't say any more, and quietly followed behind Gu Chen.

After all, Fang Yong said when he came here that everything should be based on Gu Chen, what's more, he is just a headhunter in Ningcheng, and Gu Chen is the patrol envoy of Tiandu Jingtiansi, so he is not qualified to stand in front of Gu Chen. Say more.

As time went by, more and more arresters felt unsuitable, with bursts of cold breath creeping into their bodies, they wanted to leave, but Gu Chen didn't speak, and Wu Qian didn't give orders, so they naturally had nothing to do.

On the other side, Wu Gan saw that some of his subordinates seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, so he prepared to try to persuade Gu Chen again.

But at this moment, he saw Gu Chen's expression suddenly changed, and then, Gu Chen's body shook, and the soles of his feet slammed on the ground. Wu Qian, who was standing next to Gu Chen, felt a strong wind blowing towards him. , he was almost unable to stand still.

Just when he didn't know why, a situation that horrified everyone happened. The world in front of them was like a mirror that had been smashed on the ground, with countless dark cracks emerging and spreading to the surroundings.

This terrifying scene shocked everyone.

Immediately afterwards, the next moment, with a loud click, the entire world in front of them exploded.

Until this moment, the real scene appeared before their eyes.
