Octagon's most volume demon slayer

Chapter 131 The Doubter Says
On this day, the king scroll is on duty.Before he left the yamen early in the morning, he heard a report from a colleague of the martial arts officer in the suburban town that an unknown demon appeared in the northern suburbs outside the capital, killing many people, and even lost two people in the suburban yamen.

The suburban yamen couldn't handle it, so they wanted to hand over the case to the Devil's Court.

Wang Juan accepted the case and went to the suburban yamen first. On the way, he heard from his colleagues in the suburban yamen that the victim of the case turned out to be a pear seller in Beishikou, Beijing, and several pear trees were planted in his home.

He couldn't help asking: "Does the sufferer have some supernatural powers and is in the realm of Qi training?"

"Yeah, Wang Jimo also knows about him?"

The colleague was not surprised, sighed and said, "Speaking of which, that guy is also suffering a lot. His family was poor since he was a child, and his father's family saved money desperately, and borrowed money from others. He practiced in order to let him find a good career. No matter how much he suffers, he didn't expect that his innate talent was not good enough, and even though he practiced desperately in the end, he was only at the level of Qi training.

"In the realm of Qi training, I couldn't find any work to do, so I had to continue to do my old job at home. Fortunately, during his practice, he learned the magic of raising water and nourishing the pear tree at home. The pears grow well, and the business is also good. It's better. I just lived a tight life like this, and I only paid off the money in the past two years.

"But I didn't expect that An Sheng's life was about to come, but such a catastrophe happened. His family was attacked by a demon, and the whole family was gone. He was the only one left who had some supernatural powers and survived half-dead."

Wang Juan knew that living in Beijing was not easy, but he didn't know it could be this difficult.A practitioner in the realm of Qi training has lived like this.

If this is in Yingzhou Mansion, even if the yamen owes some money, it will be better than living here!What the hell is really going on.

However, he just thought about it in his heart and didn't say it out.In the previous life, there were still many people who lived in the north and saw the prosperity and opportunities of the first-tier cities. How many people are willing to go to the backcountry and live a hopeless life?

Prosperity is a kind of hope.

Even if this prosperity belongs to others, it seems like a luxury.

It was so in the past life, and it seems to be the same in this world.

"Didn't the demon kill him?"

Wang Juan asked his colleagues in the martial arts department in the suburbs of the city.

The colleague shook his head and said: "The colleague in the door has gone to the scene and said that the demon is not for silence, but just to be quiet and convenient for eating. So just let no one speak or act in the place where he appears, it doesn't matter what happens." Can't do anything to death.

"The monster didn't expect that there were still practitioners in the outskirts of the city, and the strength they used was just enough to kill ordinary people. The pear seller had mana, but he just fell into a coma and didn't die. The pear seller was already dead. He was unconscious and couldn't interfere with the monster, so the monster didn't kill him again."

"In this case, this demon will spare no effort."

As Wang Juan spoke, he asked, "What kind of food did the monster eat?"

The colleague said: "It's just the whole grains to eat. But the demon is not picky, and even the pots and pans will be chewed when eating and drinking. The pear tree in the pear seller's house was also eaten by the demon, leaving only the roots Still missing."

Wang Juan said speechlessly, "Good appetite..."

The colleague said: "Yes. After the pear seller came to report the case, when the colleagues in the door went to investigate, they found that the monster had committed more than one crime. We found four scenes, all of which were committed in the past two days. Judging from the traces, the monsters eat a lot."

Wang Juan asked again: "Isn't there someone in your yamen who has already fought against the demon? Why don't you know the origin of the demon?"

Speaking of this question, the colleague's expression became more and more gloomy.

He shook his head and said, "The colleague we sent to deal with this case has had contact with that demon. However, that demon is very strange. Every one of our colleagues sees him differently. One says he looks like Zhu Qiang, another One said it looked like a black flood dragon, one said it looked like a cat demon, and another said it looked like a mouse spirit...

"The supernatural powers I saw were also different. When the people who escaped by chance came back, one said that they were sprayed to death by the black flood dragon, and the other said that they were beaten to death by the bullocks with their tails and whips.

"And they said that of the two colleagues who unfortunately died, one said that he was entangled by a demon before he died, and he couldn't breathe.

"It's so strange that it's impossible to judge."

Wang Juan asked: "According to what you said, this monster is good at illusion, and it doesn't eat human flesh, and its strength is huge. With such characteristics, we can't determine its origin?"

The colleague shook his head and said: "The clues are too chaotic to confirm. We have also considered the characteristics you mentioned, Wang Jimo. There are colleagues in the yamen who have studied in the Zangshu Pavilion of the Zangshu Pavilion. I remember all the monsters recorded in the book clearly, but I can't determine what kind of monster it is with such characteristics."

Wang Juan nodded silently.He has been in the capital for a while, and he also knows that there are people who have been sent to Zongsi Zangshuge to study the Wanyao Book in every town of Wusi Yamen in the capital, in order to be able to distinguish demons, determine their characteristics and weaknesses, and prescribe the right medicine.

Such rules, in fact, also exist in various towns and military divisions.But the further down the road, the less thorough the rules are.

On Jiangnan Road, the peace has been going on for a long time, and there are not many powerful monsters, and no one cares about this rule, and it has gradually become a decoration.The county government sent people to Luzhen Wusi to study and study, and they were all there to connect with each other, so why do they care about the Ten Thousand Demon Book?

Wang Juan was very sure that the records of monsters in Jiangnan Road Town Wusi might not be complete.The authority of the collection of books on Jiangnan Road is not as high as that of the capital, and the survivable records are also incomplete, and it has become a decoration.

While talking, the colleague led Wang Juan out of the city, and soon arrived at the Wusi Yamen in the suburban town.

In the yamen, Wang Juan met a pear seller who had met once.

The cultivator was lying in the side room of the yamen, covered in wounds, lingering on his last breath.

The doctor in the yamen was still using silver needles on his head.Slender silver needles pierced the top of his head, emitting a faint light, hanging his life.

Seeing Wang Juan, he struggled to sit up, but was forcibly held down by the doctor.

The doctor said viciously: "If you want to die immediately, sit up."

The pear seller lay still, but under the excitement, his lips trembled and his voice changed: "Wang Jimo... I beg Wang Jimo to avenge me!"

Wang Juan nodded and said, "Tell me first, what kind of monster do you see?"

The pear seller was taken aback for a moment, but shook his head with a wry smile, and said shyly, "I don't know, I'm weak, so I didn't see it. I just blinked and saw the house collapsed, and my parents, wife and children were crushed to death by the beams. I was still breathing, but was also swept by a burst of gravel, and soon passed out.

"When I woke up, the demon was gone. All I could notice was that all the edible food at home had been eaten by the demon."

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, as if thinking of something, and said: "If there is one thing...that is, my son was holding a piece of rough bread at that time, and he ate half of it. When I woke up, I saw my son's hand The dry buns are gone too.

"That hand should have been held by the beam, but I saw it was exposed. The beam that was pressing on the son was broken, and the part that was supposed to hold the son's hand was thrown aside..."

This demon attaches great importance to food and refuses to waste even a little bit.Wang Juan really wanted to complain, but he couldn't open his mouth in front of the practitioner selling pears.

He let the pear seller have a good rest, and then he left the wing first, and asked the colleague who brought him to invite the two surviving colleagues and the colleague who had studied the Wanyao Book to inquire.

The two surviving colleagues had lingering fears when they mentioned the mysterious monster, but in general, the colleagues who came with them had already mentioned it, and Wang Juan could not hear any valuable information.

And the colleague who had studied the Wan Yaoshu gave a wry smile, but said: "I'm sorry, Wang Jimo. I really can't help you with this matter. That monster is so weird, and I can recite the Wan Yaoshu back and forth. There are so many monster characteristics in it. I remember everything clearly, but there is no record that can match up with this demon."

Wang Juan said: "The world's monsters are full of strange things, and they are always developing and changing. It is normal to have new species. Don't worry about it."

But the colleague said: "But now when we face the monster, we only know that he eats a lot, and he sticks to one direction, catching people and harming him, but when we deal with them, he is helpless. It is really frustrating."

Wang Juan pondered for a moment, and said: "Don't be discouraged, as long as you know his characteristics, there is a solution."

While speaking, someone suddenly approached, cupped his hands and said: "The devil came to the door, and I never greeted him from afar. It's because we have so many things to do, and we didn't have time. I hope you will forgive me."

This person was wearing a Jinwusi style brocade jacket, the pattern on the collar was quite different from the others.How could Wang Juan fail to recognize his identity?
The colleague who led the way introduced: "This is Fan Cheng, the commander of our suburban yamen." Then he introduced to Commander Fan, "This is the king who has left the throne to suppress demons, and is also a fellow Taoist who has been exiled from immortals. He is now well-known in the capital."

"I've heard of it, Wang Jimo, I've known you for a long time!"

Commander Fan clasped his hands and said, "The yamen encountered difficulties, and unfortunately two brothers died. I had no choice but to ask Jimo to help me. I'm bothering Jimo. I don't know if Jimo has any ideas about this mysterious demon?"

Wang Juan said: "I have an idea, I just thought of it, and I am asking Commander Fan for help. Commander Fan came just in time."

Commander Fan said: "We are the ones who ask Wang Jimo for help. Wang Jimo can use Fan, please tell me. Fan will do his best."

Wang Juan said: "It's not just asking Commander Fan to take action, but to ask Commander Fan to dispatch the colleagues of the entire suburban town martial arts department to do something. It may also be necessary to contact the county government in the suburbs to do something together. "

Commander Fan took it very seriously and did not refuse, saying: "Wang Jimo, please tell me."

Wang Juan said: "The monster is stuck in one place, so it has more needs than this place. And it has a huge demand for food, which is already a staring thing. I want to do what Commander Fan did. That is to cooperate with the county government to remove all the people here and the surrounding people, and take away the food here."

"Strong walls and clear fields?"

Commander Fan thought of an image description.

Wang Juan nodded and said, "You can also say that."

Commander Fan was puzzled and said: "But what's the use of this? The monster has always been active, and we don't shy away from discovering it. We can always find it by simply throwing our hands. The trouble now is that we can't determine its strength, and What kind of methods and weaknesses are there? The monster is not weak, and it is very risky to deal with it."

Wang Juan simply explained: "The demons are difficult, so the people should be relocated. Only in this way can we use them to prevent the people from suffering. Secondly, this can drive the demons into a hurry. If the monsters are in a hurry, I have a better chance of winning."

Commander Fan pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, then do as Wang Jimo said. Wang Jimo is sympathetic to the people, and we are not cold-blooded people. And now there is no other way to disturb the demons and make them mess up. Size, we are indeed better."

Wang Juan said: "Commander Fan, please."

Commander Fan waved his hand and said, "No trouble. These villages on the outskirts of the city are full of turmoil, and the people are suffering from demons. Their lives are of the utmost importance. It won't be difficult to mobilize them. I'll contact the county government right now, and talk to the county Let us work together with the Yamen. I only hope that Wang Jimo will live up to his expectations and win the battle."

After finishing talking, he ordered a few people and turned around.

Wang Juan looked at Commander Fan's back, but he knew in his heart that Commander Fan still didn't trust himself when he said these last words.

The fact that he was called a fellow Taoist by the exiled immortal has spread inside and outside the capital.But at the same time, it wasn't just this fellow daoist who spread the word, but also other things about himself.

Therefore, Commander Fan must also know that he is only at the Zhanfan realm.

In the realm of Zhanfan, there are a lot of them in the capital. Yang Si, who was once beheaded by himself, is also Zhanfan.And when Yao Wei broke through the mortal realm, she had been worrying that her realm was not worthy of the position of the magician.

And among the two suburban colleagues who were beheaded by the demon, there might be one with Zhanfan's strength.

Such a state will only make people think that he is a magician who joined the magician by virtue of his relationship with the exiled immortal, so how can he trust his own strength?
Relationships are sometimes awe-inspiring, but at critical times, what is reassuring is strength.

"Wang Jimo, you come here alone...can you do it? Do you want me to invite Yao Jimo again?"

Someone spoke suddenly.

This person came shortly after Commander Fan arrived.

The colleague who led the way introduced Wang Juan again: "This is Ping Jun, the deputy commander of our suburban yamen."

Wang Juan could tell that Deputy Commander Ping did not believe in his own strength.

It is true that he is only in the realm of Zhanfan. Compared with Yao Jimo, who is already in the realm of concentration, he is indeed more trustworthy.

Wang Juan noticed that as soon as Deputy Commander Jing Ping reminded him, the faces of other suburban colleagues also showed doubts and worries.

But at any rate, they were concerned about their identities as the Demon Suppressor and the Immortal Fellow Daoist, so they didn't say it clearly.

Wang Juan shook his head and said, "No, if there is danger, I can call Yao Jimo myself. We have our own means, so you don't need to run hard."

In fact, to be honest, he was really not sure if he could deal with that monster.The demon was mysterious, and he beat several of his colleagues in the suburbs hard. He still didn't know how strong he was.

After seeing the two twelve heavenly kings and a mud demon with a bad mind, Wang Juan already had a deep impression of the power of the demon.

But he has already made an appointment with Yao Wei, and he wants to face the monster alone and exercise himself, so how can he retreat casually?
If Yao Wei is recruited at this time, then he is really going to be taken captive by the monster to the Black Mountain, and how will he deal with himself alone?

And he has already noticed that Yao Wei is always paying attention to him, knowing that he has taken this job, maybe he is wandering around the outskirts of the city.

Once he encounters a danger that is difficult to face alone, he greets her, and she will quickly rush to him.

And before that, it was when he performed alone.

He drank a cup of tea, practiced cross-legged by himself, and waited for news from Commander Fan.This calmness in the face of danger made the colleagues of Wusi in the suburbs of the city a little impressed.But the suspicion in those eyes was hard to dispel.

After about two quarters of an hour, Commander Fan returned and said: "Fan has already made peace with the magistrate Wang of the county government. The magistrate Wang is so happy, saying that the people are safe, so he should be cautious. Wait for us to pass, and act together."

Unexpectedly, the county magistrate of the suburban county is still in the same family as himself.

"Please ask Commander Fan to make arrangements."

Wang Juan said.

Commander Fan nodded and said "OK", immediately summoned all his colleagues from the outskirts of the city, and took Wang Juan out of the yamen to the county yamen.

All the colleagues on the road whispered to each other, and looked at Wang Juan from time to time, naturally doubting whether Wang Juan could do it alone.

Wang Juanquan pretended not to see it, so he took it lightly.

After walking for a while, I went to the county government office.The magistrate Wang of a county on the outskirts of the city has summoned a group of yamen servants to wait at the gate of the county yamen.Seeing the demon slayers from Wusi in Chengjiao Town gathered together, he hurried forward a few steps to meet them.

"Commander Fan has worked hard. I wonder who is the king who is away from the throne?"

The county magistrate asked.

Commander Fan introduced Wang Juan to the County Magistrate Nawang.

County Magistrate Wang was also very polite, and asked again: "Is it okay for Wang Jimo to come alone? I heard that there are two Jimos in each hexagram of Jimoyuan. Why don't Wang Jimo please leave and take another place?" A demon hunter is here?"

Wang Juan said: "Wang county magistrate, if necessary, I will call Yao Jimo to come to help immediately."

Seeing what Wang Juan said, County Magistrate Wang couldn't ask further questions.He arranged the yamen servants himself, and cooperated with the demon slayers of the Zhenwu Division, and went to the various villages involved.There was originally a large group of people in front of the county government office, but they all left in a short time.

Only then did Wang Juan ask: "I don't know where is the higher place, not only in the center of all directions involved in the case, but also able to see all directions at a glance?"

Commander Fan pointed in one direction and said, "There is a hill there, and you can see everything from the top of the hill. I'm going to take command there, please."

Wang Juan followed Commander Fan, County Magistrate Wang and a few of his subordinates to the hill.

The hill is indeed a hill, not too big or too high, but the place is generally very flat, and the top of the hill is enough to clearly see all the villages and forests within a radius of several miles.

Wang Juan saw that the team of yamen servants and demon exorcists had marched into several villages.People in the village quickly moved, carrying food and gathering for action.

Strong walls and clear fields.

Monsters...should appear too, right?
Wang Juan looked at it intently.
