The next day, Lu Zheng asked Aunt Liu to make breakfast for one more person early in the morning.
And after a night of cultivation, Yuan Jing's complexion has obviously improved.
After changing into clean clothes, Yuan Jing thanked Lu Zheng before she went to the table, and then took her seat, raised her chopsticks and threw the chopsticks in a graceful manner.
Lu Zheng also took a bite of the steamed buns, "I don't know why my brother came down the mountain. What monsters are hidden in Tonglin County. Brother laboring, is there a place where brother and brother can help?"
"The other party is a pig demon. His cultivation base is not very high, but his body is strong and his arms have thousands of pounds of strength, so it is difficult to deal with." Yuan Jing said.
"Pig demon?" Lu Zheng was stunned when he heard the words, thinking that he only heard the story of a pig demon yesterday, why did he really encounter a pig demon today?
Yuan Jing nodded, "Three days ago, the murder at Qingsheng Tower in the county seat was committed by this monster."
"Qingsheng Building?" Lu Zheng asked, "I heard that the shopkeeper's family died terribly?"
"There was residual demonic energy at the scene, and the county government couldn't deal with it, so I went up the mountain to ask for help, and the master asked me to go down the mountain to kill the demon."
Lu Zheng nodded clearly.
"I went to the door looking for qi last night, but I didn't expect the other party to be a pig demon." Yuan Jing said helplessly, "This pig demon is not strong in mana, weak in demon power, but strong like...
Well, although I used the exorcism technique to injure him, I was careless for a while, and I didn't prevent him from a sudden melee bunt and got some injuries. "
Speaking of which, Yuan Jing felt a little embarrassed, going down the mountain to slay the demon and injuring herself was indeed not a glorious thing.
"I used to stay at the county government office during the day, and when I came to my door last night, there were also government officials behind me, and the pig demon must be able to see it. In order to prevent the pig demon from being straight, he was bent on seeking revenge and colliding with the county government office, so I found it. Brother here."
"If you're not in the county office, won't the pig demon rush into the office?"
Yuan Jing shook her head, "The Dajing Dynasty has Zhenyi Division to deter foreign objects in the world. As long as the pig demon doesn't want to die, it will not collide with the county government when it is unnecessary."
Lu Zheng's eyes flashed, and he learned another point of knowledge.
Dajing Dynasty, Zhenyi Division.
Probably equivalent to the secret front of the National Security Bureau in the previous life.
So Lu Zheng asked again, "How did the county government find us at Baiyunguan without notifying Zhenyi Division?"
Yuan Jing shook her head, "The yamen of Zhenyi Division only go to the prefecture, and they are very busy on weekdays. When Tonglin County reports the report, Zhenyi Division will send someone, maybe the pig demon may have run away early."
Lu Zheng knows that, if this is the case, Zhenyisi is busy on weekdays and will not pursue it, but Tonglin County has an unsolved case, which has an impact on the performance evaluation of the county government.
In this way, it is a win-win strategy to seek help from Baiyun Temple located in Shaotong Mountain.
The county government has achieved political achievements, and Baiyunguan has gained benefits, both of which have gained fame.
"In this way, isn't the pig demon still hiding in Tonglin County?"
"Exactly!" Yuan Jing nodded, and then looked at Lu Zheng deeply, "Junior and martial arts double cultivation, have you cultivated the blood of a martial artist?"
Lu Zheng: I have an ominous feeling.
"Although the pig demon is majestic, it is only gifted with a physical body and does not know martial arts. If there is a junior brother to help, we will definitely be able to take down the pig demon!"
The more Yuan Jing said, the brighter her eyes became, "Yes, that's it. Without further ado, let's go find the bad luck of the pig demon tonight."
"Why don't you go during the day?"
Yuan Jing continued to answer Xiao Bai's questions, "The sun is fierce during the day, and the demonic energy is not visible. At night, the demonic aura of those monsters with low cultivation bases will be sensitive to the moonlight and radiate out of the body."
"Understood, that, I'm fine, but brother, your injury..."
"It's okay, it's just two ribs, it doesn't affect my spell casting."
Lu Zheng: I will be the T when co-authoring!
……
During the day, Yuan Jing was resting in the backyard wing, while Lu Zheng took the time to return to the modern times, returned the news, and traveled back.
That night, Lu Zheng put on the embroidered spring knife, put away the evil talisman, put on a black cloth short jacket suitable for fighting, and was fully prepared.
However, when he and Yuan Jing set off together at sunset, they followed the Qi-Seeking Talisman all the way out of the city.
That breath pointed directly to the deep mountains and forests outside the city.
In the dark night, Lu Zheng looked at the dark forest, like a beast's mouth with its huge mouth open and its fangs exposed.
"Continue?" Lu Zheng looked at Yuan Jing.
Yuanjing shook her head, "It's useless, the old forests in the wild are tall and grassy, the terrain is complex, and the pig demon incarnates its body, and it is even more galloping in the forest, where can we catch up?
And once we can't catch up in the daytime, we will completely lose his track. "
"Then will he leave forever, or will he just go out of town to heal his injuries and come back when his injuries heal?"
"It's very simple. I'll stay for another day. If he doesn't enter the city tomorrow and the demonic energy dissipates, then he's really gone."
……
The next day, Yuan Jing brought Lu Zheng to the county office.
After learning that Lu Zheng had actually worshipped Baiyun Temple, the magistrate who didn't know where he was, just paid it back, but Li Zhuzhu and Liu Zhaotou, who had dealt with Lu Zheng, were surprised.
How could a destitute scholar who came from afar and had no relatives and no reason suddenly become a layman in Baiyunguan?
Of course Since Lu Zheng hugged Baiyunguan's thigh, the doubts of the two will naturally be hidden in their hearts forever.
Without revealing anything, Li Zhuzhu and Liu Zhaotou completed the exchange of roles.
"According to the confession of the staff in Qingsheng Building, we judged that the murder of the pig demon was a vendetta." Liu Zhaotou introduced.
"Vendetta?"
Lu Zheng was very curious, how a shopkeeper of a restaurant had a feud with a pig demon.
"The shopkeeper has a collection that the guy has seen before, but after the murder last night, that collection disappeared."
"What is it?"
"A piece of wild boar skin." Liu Huitou said, "From the beginning to the end, the skin of a wild boar is about two feet tall!"
One zhang and two, that is four meters.
The big wild boar that is four meters from head to toe, put it in Huaxia, it is definitely already mature.
"Kill your father's enemy?"
"Then I don't know." Liu Zhaotou shook his head and said, "The staff in Qingsheng Building are all newly hired by Shopkeeper Sun who came to Tonglin County. They don't know what happened to the owner before."
Yuan Jing nodded, in fact, there are many similar unsolved cases, so this case was decided as a vendetta, and the pig demon committed the crime and is at large.
……
Yuan Jing stayed for another day, and used the Qi Seeking Talisman to look for it at night, but it was beyond the searchable range, indicating that the pig demon had indeed left Tonglin County.
……
The next day, before leaving in the afternoon, Yuan Jing also set aside a whole morning to explain to Lu Zheng the cultivation experience of the Qi Refining Sutra and the difficulties in the Five Talismans.
Although Lu Zheng couldn't use it, he still showed a look of listening intently.
The next time you go up the mountain, if Daoist Master Mingzhang asks why he is cultivating so fast, he can answer that it was Senior Brother Yuanjing who gave him advice.
The reason is perfect!
