With the demon-killing clothes, Chen Xuance didn't want to go upstream, as it was too far. Besides, he was used to eating fish with a rouge taste.
He didn't want to go upstream for another reason. There might not be fox demons upstream. It was a pity, but it didn't hinder him from enjoying the masterpieces of nature. The gauze was graceful, the red sleeves were fragrant, who wouldn't want to listen to a beast-eared girl lying next to them at night?
The fish is not free. Chen Xuance, with a silly smile on his honest face, pretends to casually ask:
"Adult, when will we go on a mission?"
Ma Baihu thought that this honest boy was shocked by the death of the little fat man, and he stretched out his hand and patted Chen Xuance on the shoulder.
The mother's face was full of understanding and comforted her, saying:
You are also a formal demon-defeating guard, and we are now on the same side. With the equipment, it's not difficult to survive.
He is afraid that the last remaining seedling will also run away, and the new person is still in training and will be sent over in a few days.
Chen Xuance can't run anywhere. Outside the gate of the Town Demon Division, who will help him to suppress the demon? He won't even be able to escape.
Then Ma Baihu told him about the next task, which was to be carried out tomorrow.
There is a Wannian County sixty miles southwest of Kyoto, and there are suspected traces of the hundred ghost night in the village of Dahuai tree in Wannian County.
Don't worry, kid. This time, the Xuan Group 2 is leading the team, and the Huang Group 2 is just playing a supporting role. It's not a big deal.
After getting the information he wanted, Chen Xuance left the house of the hundred households and went straight to the dining hall.
There are still three fish left, one for the cook, one for the woman who serves the meals, and one for my own dinner.
Otherwise, how could the aunt share her precious pickles with him, and how could the cook help him cook fish every few days?
Chen Xuance's fishing skills were envied by many of the people who joined.
They're all dead.
After dinner, we moved to the place where the formal demon guard lived. After a brief cleanup, we slept in our clothes.
...
It was just dawn when Chen Xuance got out of bed.
When there is a task, they all set out at dawn and arrive at the city gate just as it opens.
The demon-killing department only had more than 100 households with horses, so everyone had to rely on their legs. They set off at 3:30 am and arrived in Wannian County at sunset, which was still seven or eight miles away from Da Huai Shu Village.
Before entering the county town, I stayed in an abandoned Buddhist temple not far outside the town. This is the rule of the Town Demon Division, and no one is allowed to enter the town without a reason.
A group of nearly 100 people buried the pot to cook, and after the meal, the thousand households of Xuan Er Group gave a simple task to the hundred households, which in turn gave instructions to the general banners of each squad, and the general banners gave instructions to their own team members.
This is a big battle. The Night Parade of Hundred Demons is not a small matter.
If we discover it too late, it may require the help of the "di" group.
This was not something from an island country in Chen Xuance's mind, but something that was very terrifying.
The hundred ghosts' night march lasts for a hundred nights, with one more every night. The lowest level is a ghost with a hundred years of cultivation.
The first night is the night demon. As the old saying goes, there are thousands of demons walking at night, but the night demon is the first.
The second night is the Gypsy Ghost, who circles behind the Night Slayer Ghost to attract Yin Qi.
One person died every night until the last day, when ninety-nine people died. Finally, a thousand-year-old demon of the Luo Cha appeared.
It will be the most terrifying time for the hundred ghosts to travel at night, gathering the yin energy within a hundred miles and turning the area within twenty miles into a ghostly place where no living creature can survive.
There were five consecutive nights of elderly deaths in the village of Da Huashu. To say that elderly deaths are commonplace is an understatement. In this year, with several deaths, people relied on their legs to set out at the third quarter of the morning and arrived in Wannian County after the sun had set, which was still seven or eight miles away from Da Huashu Village.
Before entering the county town, I stayed in an abandoned Buddhist temple not far outside the town. This is the rule of the Town Demon Division, and no one is allowed to enter the town without a reason.
A group of nearly 100 people buried the pot to cook, and after the meal, the thousand households of Xuan Er Group gave a simple task to the hundred households, which in turn gave instructions to the general banners of each squad, and the general banners gave instructions to their own team members.
This is a big battle. It's not a small matter to be the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts.
If we discover it too late, it may require the help of the "di" group.
This was not something from an island country in Chen Xuance's mind, but something of great horror.
The Night Parade of Hundred Demons lasts for a hundred nights, with one more added every night. The lowest level is a demon with a hundred years of cultivation.
The first night is the night demon. As the old saying goes, there are thousands of ghosts walking at night, but the night demon is the first one.
The second night is the gypsy ghost, who circles behind the night demon to attract yin qi.
One person died every night until the last day, when ninety-nine people died, and finally a thousand-year-old demon of the demon appeared.
It would be the most terrifying time for the hundred ghost night to gather the yin energy within a hundred miles, turning the area within twenty miles into a ghost world where no living creature could survive.
This time, there have been five consecutive nights of old people dying in the village of Dahuai. It's not uncommon for old people to die. In this year, a few people died. So, we set out at 3:45 AM and arrived in Wannian County at sunset. It was still seven or eight miles away from the village of Dahuai.
Before entering the county town, I stayed in an abandoned Buddhist temple not far outside the town. This is the rule of the demon-controlling department. If there is nothing to do, you should not enter the town.
A group of nearly 100 people buried the pot to cook, and after the meal, the thousand households of Xuan Er Group gave a simple task to the hundred households, which in turn gave instructions to the general banners of each squad, and the general banners gave instructions to their own team members.
This is a big battle. It's not a small matter to be in the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts.
If we discover it early, it is estimated that the people from the local government will have to be mobilized.
This was not something from an island country in Chen Xuance's mind, but something of great horror.
The Night Parade of Hundred Demons lasts for a hundred nights, with one more added every night. The lowest level is a demon with a hundred years of cultivation.
The first night is the night demon. As the old saying goes, "there are thousands of ghosts in the night, but the night demon is the first one to go."
The second night is the gypsy ghost, who circles behind the night demon to attract yin qi.
One person died every night until the last day, when ninety-nine people died. Finally, a thousand-year-old demon named Luo Cha appeared.
At that time, it will be the most terrifying time for the Night Parade of Hundred Ghosts, gathering the yin energy within a hundred miles and turning the area within twenty miles into a ghostly place where no living creature can survive.
There have been five consecutive nights of old people dying in the village of Da Huashu. To say that old people dying is a common thing, it's normal to have a few people dying in this year.
What is abnormal is the six-year-old grandson of Zheng in the village. He keeps saying that a ghost will eat people during the day, and today it will eat my grandfather.
The villagers thought he was just a child talking nonsense, and the village head even beat his grandson for cursing him to death.
That night, the headman died, with a ferocious face, as if he had suffered a great shock. Strangely, his son who lived next door didn't hear any sound.
The whole village panicked and the matter was reported to Wannian County.
There is a head constable in Wannian County named Tie who used to work in the Demon Elimination Division for eight years. When he arrived at Da Huai Shu Village and saw the dead appearance of the village head, he thought, "My God, is this not a night of hundred ghosts?"
The coroner who went with them didn't believe it, saying that Iron Head had been in Kyoto for several years and knew how to brag.
The iron head said with certainty, "The five organs are gone. Don't believe me if you don't open it up and see for yourself."
The coroner was not pleased. The body had no wounds, and you told me that the internal organs were missing? This is an insult to my ancestral craftsmanship.
As a result, just as he opened the chest of the magistrate, he was scared and ran straight back to Wannian County, never to go there again.
The five internal organs of the six corpses were all missing, replaced by withered grass.
It's not that the coroner dissected the corpse, he only looked at the magistrate's and was scared to death.
In July, the corpses cannot be left unburied. The first few corpses have already been buried and laid to rest.
Or was it the iron head who forced the villagers to open the coffin and dissect the corpse in order to verify his own judgment?
Wannian County is a large county, and there is a resident of the County Demon Suppression Division. According to the rules, when the iron head accumulates enough money, this position will be his.
He disliked the work of the demon-controlling department, which was life-consuming, and refused to do it. That's why it fell to another demon-controlling guard in his thirties to take this lucrative position.
As the saying goes, "Your icing is my arsenic," both of them are very happy.
After hearing what the iron head said, the town demon guard immediately borrowed a horse from the county magistrate's office and rushed to Kyoto to report the news.
...
Li Gou, the general flagman of the second team of Huang Group 2, where Chen Xuance was stationed, came back to convey the instructions from Ma Baihu to the six people in front of him:
"This time, seven members of our Yellow Team 2 will stand in the northeastern part of the village. Our main task is to observe and provide intelligence for the Black Team. The specific location will be arranged according to the situation."
This job is very easy and not very dangerous. It's probably because there are not many people left in Yellow Team 2. Yellow Team 2 has six teams, each with ten people, for a total of sixty. Currently, there are only forty-something people on the team, making it the worst in the Department of Suppressing Demons.
The second team originally had six official demon-fighting guards and six demon-fighting guards in the investigation period. Now, almost all of them have died, leaving only seven people.
"We'll leave for Dahuai Village tomorrow morning. There will be Xuanzi Group members who will open our eyes to the land. There is a hill northeast of the village, and we can just watch from up there."
Opening the Eye of Heaven is a Taoist magic, also known as Yin and Yang Eye.
Ordinary people also have ways to open their inner eye. They take the juice of crushed snake and grass mixed with willow leaves, add cow tears, and then put in a small amount of coffin soil. This soil needs to be the soil from the coffin in the grave that has been pressed for a hundred years. Mix it and apply it on the eyelids, and there is a certain probability of opening it.
The way of playing Xuanzi is not so troublesome. It's a real Taoism and a serious thing.
Chen Xuance has been longing for it. He has heard many times from the official demon-killing guards about how powerful it is after opening the eye of heaven.
If you know how to do this, it's impossible to pass through many tasks related to ghosts, but escaping is not a problem.
You don't need to run faster than a ghost, just run earlier than others.
Xuan Ce, you have become an official demon-fighting guard. Don't hide behind me this time.
At the end, Li made a joke, and the other five people laughed.
He can be considered as taking care of Chen Xuance, otherwise Chen Xuance may not have survived these three months. Why?
