Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 36 The Current Situation of Liangcheng
"Well, I'll take care of the business for you, and figure out my name and where I came from." Lin Ji said with a smile.

The Taoist was stunned.

"Brother, you"

"Taoist, if you don't understand, don't blame me for taking people! It's not justified to be bluffing on the side of the road in broad daylight."

"Hahaha, Pindao is doing this to make ends meet, brother, don't make fun of Pindao."

The Taoist quickly put away the booth and turned it into a cage, carrying it behind his back.

"It turns out that Xiongtai is the head catcher in Qingyang County. He came to Qingyang County from poverty and heard all day long how wise and powerful the head catcher in the county is, with extraordinary bearing."

"Okay, stop flattering." Lin Ji shook his head.

When he first met this man in Tongtian Town, Lin Ji brought him into the town with Jian Tiansi's command to cut the characters.

The beheading order is the identity symbol of Jian Tiansi's headhunters in various states, so it is not surprising that the Taoist wants to know his identity.

It's just that as soon as the front foot figured it out, the back foot hit the snake and started flattering, which was a bit too fast.

At this moment, the Taoist's stomach suddenly rang.

Lin Ji gave him a rather weird look.

"Can monks starve themselves?"

"Going out, it is inevitable that there will be times of embarrassment." The Taoist priest was a little embarrassed.

"Come with me, we can be regarded as a little friendly, the young master is in a good mood today, please have a meal."

"How embarrassing." The Taoist rubbed his hands and followed Lin Ji, his eyes narrowed with a smile.

Lin Ji took the Taoist priest to Ruyilou again, and this was the only restaurant in the county that was acceptable.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised to see Lin Ji.

"Why is Catcher Lin coming again? But the food just now is not to your taste, you wait, I'll ask the back kitchen to serve you a new table."

"It's not me, it's this Taoist priest." Lin Ji pointed to the Taoist priest behind him, and said, "This is my friend, it's rare to meet, just ask the back kitchen to cook a few casual dishes."

"Okay, please go upstairs."

Lin Ji took the Taoist priest upstairs, and it was at noon when the restaurant received customers, and the seat by the window had already been taken.

Seeing that Lin Ji had just left, the restaurant didn't reserve a place for him.

Seeing Lin Ji coming, the two guests by the window got up quickly and wanted to give up their seats.

"No need, you eat yours, it doesn't matter where I sit."

After speaking, Lin Ji took the Taoist priest and sat down at the table next to the stairs.

Not long after, the good food and wine were brought up. It was said that it was simple to cook, but the restaurant still arranged a full table.

The delicious food was right in front of him, but the Taoist was not in a hurry to do it, but gave a slight salute to Lin Ji.

"Pindao is at peace, thank you for the kindness of Catcher Lin."

"You're welcome." Lin Ji returned the courtesy with a smile.

After saluting, the Taoist priest began to feast, without the slightest courtesy from before.

Seeing this guy's mouth full of oil, rubbing it on his sleeve and then continuing to eat, Lin Ji was quite speechless.

"Slow down, no one will grab you."

The Taoist concentrated on eating and didn't answer.

Lin Ji asked casually, "Prince Pingxin, didn't you say that you went to Liangcheng to kill ghosts, why did you come to Qingyang County again?"

Speaking of this matter, Taoist Pingxin stopped eating like a storm.

"Then Liangcheng is not a place for people!"

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Lin Ji's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

Taoist Pingxin seems to have eaten half full, so he is no longer reincarnated as a starved ghost like before.

Instead, with a chicken leg in one hand and a wine glass in the other, he said slowly and comfortably: "After the news that Liangcheng was besieged by thousands of ghosts came out, the monks all over the world thought that Liangcheng would soon be in trouble. It is true that the city is besieged by thousands of ghosts, but it is only besieged but not attacked!"

"It's been more than half a month. Except for the people in the city who have been in fear all day long, they have not suffered any injuries. Do you think this is strange?"

Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering the ghost he caught last night, and said, "I heard that it was the ghost king who restrained his subordinates like this."

"That's true." Taoist Pingxin sighed softly, "Anyway, many monks who rushed to Liangcheng saw that there was no obstacle in the city, so they went out to kill ghosts."

"Looking for death." Lin Ji subconsciously said.

"Who says it's not!" Taoist Pingxin nodded quickly, and said, "Ghosts don't attack the city, but it doesn't mean they don't hurt people. The monks have gone out, isn't it just to give them rations?"

"As far as Pindao saw with his own eyes, two monks from the fourth level died at the hands of Guishuai. As for the monks from lower levels, there are too many dead."

"So powerful?" Lin Ji was a little surprised, "You even made a move at the Guishuai level?"

The strength of the ghost general is probably between the third and fourth realms, while the ghost commander is between the fifth and sixth realms.

The stronger Guishuai can compete head-on with the day-traveling monk he just met before.

Even under the ghost king, there are not many handsome ghosts.

"I reckon that if the ghost king doesn't give orders, those ghost commanders will panic." Speaking of this, Taoist Pingxin suddenly lowered his voice, and said, "The current Liangcheng ghost king can no longer suppress the ghosts under him, just like this In a few days, many ghosts scattered and fled, no longer obeying the ghost king's orders."

"There are already fierce ghosts raging in Liangcheng all the time, and the common people are afraid to go out. The monks like me who help the fist can't even breathe for a moment."

Taoist Pingxin looked helpless, and continued: "Master Zhan Chengfeng is guarding the city, so there is no problem. Others don't know, but I can't stand the torture of being vigilant all the time, so I escaped."

"Bootou Lin, you have to be careful about this matter. I heard that Lianghe County and Yunyang County have been ravaged by ghosts, and many people have died."

"I know this. I just took care of a few ghosts that escaped from Liangcheng last night." Lin Ji nodded and said strangely, "No, Lianghe County and Yunyang County are farther away from Liangcheng than Qingyang County. Even further away, why are there only three or two ghosts in Qingyang County?"

"I know about this." Taoist Pingxin laughed, "It is the Master Xingzhi from Daliang Temple who guards the direction of Liangcheng to Qingyang County. One man guards the gate and ten thousand men do not open it. It is very majestic! I can leave if I am poor. Liangcheng is also because of this."

Hearing this, Lin Ji's face remained calm, but he sighed slightly in his heart.

Master Xingchi didn't care about any side, but he only cared about Qingyang County, which made it hard for him not to be connected with himself.

"What is it that you want to find me? You don't say anything, but you always look at my side." Lin Ji was a little worried.

At this moment, Lin Ji glanced over the first floor of the restaurant inadvertently, but found two warriors standing at the door.

Those two people had delicate features, clean and beardless faces, and each carried a long sword behind their backs, showing a bit of chivalrous demeanor.

Just too young.

The Taoist priest noticed Lin Ji's gaze, followed his gaze, and then chuckled.

"Two little girls."

"That's right, a woman disguised as a man." Lin Ji took a few more glances, then withdrew his gaze.
