Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in order to frighten the world's demons and learn from the previous dynasty, a special division of demons was created, with the post of subduing demon school lieutenant.

The black armor on the body of a strong man like Xiong is the symbol of Captain Fumo.

Even the little bookboy Chen An recognized Captain Fu Mo, not to mention those well-informed merchants who traveled all over the world.

One by one immediately felt relieved, not only no longer afraid, but praised him as a hero who slays demons and demons.

Well, he is indeed a hero who slays demons and demons.

This body is strong.

With such a body size, it is easy to tear tigers, leopards and wolves raw, and you have to be afraid when encountering monsters.

Hearing everyone's praise, the strong man Xiong didn't say much, but nodded indifferently, then looked around, and walked towards the group of merchants who first talked about the ghosts in Dali Town.

"A certain family just heard from you that a demon appeared here, can you tell this family in detail."

That man, Xiong Zhuanghan, was not polite, he walked near the group of peddlers, and sat down directly, making the peddlers feel uneasy.

"Hmph, what are you afraid of? A certain family is not a monster, so they can still eat you?"

"Quickly tell a certain family where the demon has appeared. This month's demon-killing index of a certain family is still a little bit worse. Just get rid of this demon and save you from running around."

The strong man hummed, his voice was like thunder, making people terrified 0.0.

"Returning to my lord, it is Dali Town, twenty miles away from here. The entire town of thousands of people has disappeared."

"My brother passed by the merchant yesterday, and when he realized something was wrong, he ran back immediately."

Facing the inquiry from the man Xiong Zhuanghan, the old man in the business stood up and told everything he had heard before.

"The entire town, with thousands of people, has all disappeared?"

Hearing the words, the strong man Xiong couldn't help but stare, and suddenly felt that things were difficult.

In the Tang Dynasty, it is not uncommon for monsters to harm people, but it is definitely not something ordinary monsters can do to directly slaughter a town.

Maybe it's a mid-level monster, or a big monster in the upper third level.

This kind of monster is not something he, a small captain of the seventh rank of the martial arts, can deal with.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the man Xiong Zhuanghan's heart sank, he immediately called the shopkeeper of the inn, and asked sharply: "Do you know about the incident in Dali Town, twenty miles away?".

Chapter 122

The name of Captain Fumo is still very useful.

Under the questioning of the strong man Xiong, Chen Qi, who was hiding in a corner and eavesdropping, also understood what was going on in Dali Town.

As the passing businessman said, Dali Town began to be haunted more than a year ago.

It's just that at the beginning, the ghost didn't harm anyone, and the local government didn't pay much attention to it, and only sent a few government servants to come here a few times.

It is said that during this period, the government also invited Captain Fu Mo to come, but nothing was found, so they didn't pay attention.

About ten days ago, the ghosts in Dali Town suddenly erupted. Over a thousand people in the town disappeared overnight, causing panic in the surrounding villages.

Especially the villages near Dali Town were all empty, and they all fled away in fright.

After hearing the innkeeper's words, both Xiong Zhuanghan and Chen Qi couldn't help frowning.

Because of this kind of thing, strictly speaking, I really can't blame the local government.

After all, after the local government received the report, it not only dispatched government servants many times to check, but also invited the demon-slaying division Fumo Xiaowei.

The only regret is that neither the official yamen servant nor the demon-slaying commander Fumo Xiaowei failed to discover the existence of the demon in the first place, which led to the disaster in Dali Town.

"Is it because the demon is too cunning, or is the demon slayer's inspection method too simple?"

"Or, the Captain Fumo who came to Dali Town for inspection was careless?"

For a moment, neither Chen Qi nor that man Xiong Zhuanghan couldn't help thinking.

After much deliberation, there is no result in the end, and I can only blame this damn world.

"Well, a certain family knows. After the rain clears, a certain family will go to Dali Town to investigate. Don't worry, a certain family will find a way to deal with the monsters entrenched in the town as soon as possible."

Although the strong man looks burly and strong, he is actually thick and thin, and he has a clear understanding of many unspoken rules of the local government and demon slaying divisions.

So he didn't ask why the Monster Slaying Division didn't receive the case from Dali Town, but promised to go to Dali Town when the weather cleared after the rain.

The storekeeper of the inn and the surrounding merchants, etc., when they heard Xiong Zhuanghan say this, they naturally praised and thanked him again.

......

The next morning, the rain stopped and the sun rose in the east.

When Chen Qi and the little bookboy Chen An walked downstairs, the merchants and passers-by from yesterday had already left, only the man Xiong Dahan from the Demon Slayer was eating in the lobby.

Needless to say, it was another big meal, all of which were high-fat and high-calorie foods.

I saw that strong man like a glutton reincarnated, a gust of wind and a cloud surged, and a whole table of wine and meat fell into the strong man's belly.

From this point alone, Chen Qi could know that this man, Xiong Zhuang, was following the path of immortal martial arts.

Well, there is nothing special about Human Immortal Martial Arts, except that it can be eaten.

Very edible.

Chen Qi and the two went downstairs, and Xiong Zhuanghan, who had just eaten eight percent, just glanced at him and stopped paying attention.

After finishing his meal, the strong man Xiong picked up his sword, bow and arrow again, and resumed his fully armed appearance from yesterday. He went to the post shopkeeper to pay the bill, then strode out of the post station and walked towards Shili Town.

"Master!"

Just as Chen Qi went downstairs, Zhou Nuyuan came in and said, "Master, the carriage has been packed and we can leave at any time."

"Well, don't worry, let's go after breakfast!"

Chen Qi smiled. He glanced at the direction where Xiong Zhuanghan was leaving, and said to Zhou Chong: "Go and ask the shopkeeper how to get to Shili Town. Let's go to Shili Town first."

After coming to this world for so long, Chen Qi has never seen a real monster except for Jinghe Shuifu ghosts.

Of course, Jinghe Dragon King and Bai Yu'er are not counted. Strictly speaking, both of them belong to the prehistoric ancient clan with successful cultivation.

There is an essential difference between the prehistoric ancient clan and ordinary monsters.

The most important point is that the ancient prehistoric people possessed intelligence from birth, and they were not weaker than humans in the slightest.

And what about ordinary monsters?

Before becoming a demon, they were basically ignorant and insane, acting entirely on instinct.

Monsters and monsters!

The demon finger is naturally an ordinary monster.

The devil refers to the monks of the magic way, or the creatures who have practiced evil methods.

Needless to say, ghosts, after death, the obsession continues, so it becomes a ghost.

Therefore, not everyone can become a ghost after death. Most of the souls return to heaven and earth after death, and there is no qualification to become a ghost at all.

Of course, if a monk makes a move, or for some special reason, after the death of the soul, the soul can be preserved.

This can also be counted as a ghost.

It's a pity that whether it is a ghost formed by obsession or other ghosts, they are all the key targets of the underworld.

Black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face and other ghosts of the underworld will arrest them and send them to the underworld.

Then go through the [-]-story hell package to wear down his obsessions, so as not to affect the natural operation of the world after the accumulation of ghost obsessions reaches a certain level.

In addition, there are also some good people with merits and virtues. Their souls are nourished by merits and virtues, so they can be preserved even after death and become good ghosts.

For these good ghosts, there is also the Yin God of the underworld to guide them into the underworld, or let them live in the world of the underworld, or send them into reincarnation so that they can get a second chance to reincarnate.

This is also the reason why Buddhism and Taoism always persuade people to be good.

Because merit really exists, it may not be manifested during life, but it has a huge effect after death.

As for the "monster" among demons and ghosts!

It is a monster.

There is a saying that monsters are common, but spirits are hard to find.

To a certain extent, ghosts are also the darlings of heaven and earth, born due to various good fortune opportunities, so that things that should not be born with spiritual wisdom have spiritual wisdom, that is, they become spirits.

For example, the stone on Huaguo Mountain, or a certain book, the kitchen knife, sickle, water tank, etc. at home.

These things are theoretically impossible to give birth to spiritual wisdom, and as a result, due to various causes and conditions, they become spirits.

Whether they are good or evil, they can all be called spirits.

Chen Qi has been in this world for more than half a year. Although he has seen the Dragon King and the Fox Fairy, he has not seen 520's real monsters and ghosts.

Well, none of the monsters dared to go to Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, to make trouble in the prefectures.

Moreover, he made a divination last night, and the divination showed that the trip was going smoothly without any twists and turns.

This meant that the ghosts in Shili Town had either left, or had no threat to Chen Qi at all.

So he came up with the idea of ​​watching ghosts up close.

Of course, this is also because there is no danger, and Ruoguo's hexagram shows that this behavior is vicious.

There is no need to be a big murderer, even if it is a minor murderer, he will never go there.

Zhou Chong also heard about the Shili Town yesterday, and he was somewhat hesitant when he heard his young master's order.

Ordinary people would avoid such things as ghosts, so how could they take the initiative to provoke them.

Moreover, if the ghosts in Shili Town were really so fierce, he couldn't guarantee that he could deal with them.

But before Zhou Chong could speak to persuade him, Chen Qi seemed to see his concerns, and said with a light smile, "Don't worry, since I dare to go to Shili Town, I am absolutely sure."

Seeing that Chen Qi had made up his mind, Zhou Chong didn't hesitate anymore. He made up his mind in his heart that if he really encountered a ghost, even if he risked his old life, he must ensure the safety of his young master.

It is said that a scholar dies for his confidant.

Although his old Zhou is only a martial artist, he also knows the word "enyi".

Not to mention that the Chen family once treated him with great kindness.
