Chapter 39 Trading, Wenjiagou is evil
"In the 120 miles of the Eastern Desert, there is a village called Wenjiagou. The people in this village died collectively. I sent someone to collect taxes two days ago. The person came back yesterday and told me that the people in that village died collectively. And according to passing Some people said that there are ghosts haunting the village, and there have been several waves of caravans passing by."

"This is already the fifth village that has disappeared in the second half of the year. There is no demon suppressor in Fenglin Town. Many things are handled by me alone. I can't dispatch the previous patrol and arrest department. If it continues to develop, I am afraid that there will be Nothing unexpected."

In fact, the county magistrate doesn't want to take care of this kind of thing. After all, it's not within his scope of responsibility. It's just that Fenglin Town has a long-term shortage of demon townspeople, so this matter can only fall on him. In addition, in a few days, the state The town's demon and police officers are about to come down, and he is afraid of any accidents during this period.

When Ji Chen heard this, he understood what the county magistrate meant.The previous patrolling department couldn't move, but now that the patrolling department has been eliminated, the entire Fenglin town clearly has the highest cultivation level.

"Your Excellency means that you want me to help you walk."

The county magistrate nodded, "Being like ghosts, once they appear, they must be cleaned up immediately, otherwise they will be like weeds crossing the river, covering the entire river surface in no time, causing the fish and shrimp creatures in Hanoi to suffocate and die."

"Of course, I won't let you make this trip in vain. I got a piece of star steel in the early years, which is the best material for forging flying swords, and Duan Dao is the same. You go and help me with this trip. This piece of star steel is the best material for forging flying swords. remuneration."

The county magistrate opened a box on the table, and inside the box lay a piece of blue iron, half the size of a fist.

Now Ji Chen is no longer a novice in cultivation. Mr. Fang has a lot of books on the basic knowledge of the cultivation world, and he has read a lot.So I know the value of this piece of star steel.The county magistrate has spent a lot of money.

"This is too expensive!" Ji Chen said.

In fact, even if the county magistrate didn't pay him to make a trip, he would go.After all, during this period of time, the county magistrate helped him a lot. No matter what the purpose of the county magistrate was, whether it was to curry favor with Mr. Fang, or to see his future potential, it was an indisputable fact that he helped him.

The county magistrate said: "To a useful person, it is very precious, but to me, he is a lump of iron. Back then, I also fantasized about stepping into the world of cultivation, a sword of cold light in nineteen Zhongzhou, but my qualifications were not enough , I had no choice but to give up, and finally chose to study, so this piece of iron is of no use to me, so I might as well give it to someone who is useful."

After speaking, the county magistrate closed the box and handed it to Ji Chen.

The county magistrate had already said so much, and Ji Chen couldn't refuse, so he put away the box.

"When are you leaving?" he asked.

"It's better to be sooner rather than later. The ghost matter should be dealt with very early, otherwise it will change."

Ji Chen nodded, "I'll go back and pack up, and I'm leaving now."

Ji Chen returned to the private school, tidied up a bit and went out.In fact, there was nothing to clean up. I changed my clothes and brought some dry food.

I also brought the incense ash, which can restrain even a third-level monster. Although this thing is no longer needed by Ji Chen, it was brought back by Mr. Fang after all.

If you are undecided, sprinkle a handful of incense ash first, which can save a little energy.

He didn't bring any toiletries. Since he practiced Qi Qi method, Ji Chen used the sun's fire to sterilize his mouth when cleaning his mouth.After each calcination and sterilization, the whole mouth is very fresh without any bacteria and odor.

The county magistrate found Ji Chen a Bianhuang Lie horse for transportation. The Bianhuang Lie horse is extremely cold-resistant and is the most suitable means of transportation for Bianhuang.

Ji Chen didn't refuse either, it was much more comfortable to be able to ride a horse than to walk.

In the wilderness, sparsely populated, occasionally one or two traveling caravans pass by, seeing Ji Chen with a sword in his hand, with an extraordinary demeanor, they don't take the initiative to provoke him.

While riding, Ji Chen was thinking about Wenjiagou. Here in the desert, every village basically has the same surname and the same clan.Just like Jijia Village, all new seasons.

In general, there are temples or ancestral halls for worship in the villages, which are specially used to suppress evil spirits.Some are earth temples, and some are mountain temples. Due to the long-term worship of incense and worship, these mountain gods or land will breed thoughts and beliefs, and bless a village.

And all the evil spirits that can enter the village have great abilities.

Passing by a village entrance, Ji Chen found that there was tea and food at the entrance of the village. There were several thatched huts with earthen walls covering a large area. A mast stood outside, and a banner on the mast fluttered in the cold wind.

This is a place where Bianhuang rests, providing food or night for some Bianhuang monsters or traveling merchants.

After Ji Chen dismounted, he entered the shop.

There were demon slayers or traveling merchants sitting in twos and threes inside.

This is a main road, there are many traveling merchants who go to the wasteland to do business with the Snow Clan, and there are also many demon slayers who go to the wasteland to take risks.

Ji Chen decided to rest for a while, and inquired about it to see if there was any news about Wenjiagou.

This kind of wild shop is often the best place to hear news.

In the tea shop, someone was discussing news about Wenjiagou.

"Is this Wenjiagou so evil? There have been several waves of people who have entered, and they are all trapped inside."

"I heard that in this Wenjiagou, as early as one night before the moon, the whole village died collectively, and even the livestock were not spared. Everyone and livestock turned into mummies, as if they were sucked dry by something. This incident shocked the surrounding villages, and it was nothing at all. But just a few days ago, the village was full of lights every night, and some people suspected that Wenjiagou had become a dark place."

After listening for a while, Ji Chen probably understood what happened and why the county magistrate added him to investigate.

Once Wenjiagou really becomes a shaded place, it will be very troublesome.Many people who walk in the yin will use the yin to go to the yin, and even many evil cultivators will use the yin to refine yin soldiers.If left unattended for a long time, a large number of evil spirits will breed crazily through the Yin land.It won't be long before there will be more and more evils in the Borderlands area, and they will become bigger and bigger, and even affect the entire Borderlands and Fenglin Town.

After eating something, Ji Chen continued to set off, heading towards Wenjiagou.

Fortunately, the tea shop is not far from Wenjiagou.

As the sun sets, night gradually falls, and some evil things gradually come out of the darkness and start to move.

For example, the willows in the gutter, the yellow skins on the hillside, staring at Ji Chen's distant figure, with a glint in their eyes.

In the darkness in the distance, a little fire appeared.

The closer you get to the fire, the quieter the night will be. There is no chirping of insects or birds, and there is a tinge of coldness in the air.

Ji Chen knows that Wenjiagou is coming soon.
