Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 96 The Immortal County Magistrate
After collecting the three demons, Qi Xiu shook the Yuan Gathering Bag in his hand with satisfaction.

Then he took out a clean and close-fitting gown and put it on.

When he was going through the tribulation, the clothes on his body had been washed away by the Tiangang Qi.

Later, in order to capture the three demons, there was no time to replace them.

Now that the dust has settled, naturally he cannot continue to look like a disciple of the Beggar Clan.

“Chasing all the way, without caring about anything else.

I don’t know where this place went? "

After becoming a Taoist monk, Qi Xiu became a little more courageous and looked around curiously.

The vast mountains stretch as far as the eye can see.

Apart from the endless mountains all around, there are almost no landmark buildings visible.

Rubbing his eyebrows helplessly, Qi Xiu just wanted to take up the escape light and find a place where there were people.

A loud noise suddenly erupted from the far distant skyline.

Foul-smelling black blood clouds rose from the ground, surrounded by flies, insects, and rotten birds, turning into an ugly, sticky mass of meat that fell heavily toward the ground. An ugly shadow of a bird or beast loomed between the sky and the earth. .

The next moment, countless sword lights shot into the sky.

I saw a dozen bronze flying swords as big as door panels, erupting with a clang and hiss. The overbearing sword intent was like a bright sun, flying across the sky for ten days, frantically strangling and destroying the disgusting meat ball.

"Such a big movement, it seems that it is at least a battle at Dao level or above."

Nodding thoughtfully, Qi Xiu thought and immediately took up the escape light.

Escape in the opposite direction!
Now is not the time to join in the fun.

Although he has successfully entered the Tao realm.

But because of the secret meaning of the Hunyuan Dragon and Tiger Scripture, all his martial arts skills were completely integrated.

Kong has a rich and powerful aura that even the veteran monks can't match.

It's like the reincarnation of the top character in the game.

The attributes have become stronger, but the level and skills are gone.

Now this time.

This is an embarrassing window period for his strength.

The available means are relatively limited.

He needs time to regain mastery of various means.

So until then, we still have to maintain the core tenet of obscene development.

So as not to lose the fun and capsize in the gutter.

Harnessing the escaping light, Qi Xiu moves forward.

Light flight and Qinggong are two completely different experiences.

This feeling of being completely off the ground and running freely.

It even makes people want to keep escaping light all the time without taking a single step.

No wonder when I met Yuan Baiyi before, he had to drive against the light for a hundred or ten meters.

It feels really good.

About two-quarters of an hour later, after crossing a long, wide and clear river, the outlines of some buildings appeared on the horizon.

It was a county town.

Even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the heavy aura it exudes.

I realized that the county in front of me was unusual.

Qi Xiu harnessed the escaping light and landed beside an official road.

There is a boundary marker erected beside this road.

Three big characters were written powerfully on it:

Qingliu County!
“Qingliu County?

So familiar? "

Staring at the words on the boundary monument, Qi Xiu felt as if he had heard this place name somewhere before.

He looked at the monument in front of him and then at the turbulent river behind him.

Qi Xiu slapped his forehead.

I remembered!

Qingliu County!
The fairy county magistrate Li Jiufang, who was besieged by the rebels of the Golden Flower Mother Cult, drew water from the Nu River alone and flooded tens of thousands of rebels.

The county he is in charge of is Qingliu County.

Moreover, Yuan Baiyi was ordered to march before, and it seemed that he was also going to Qingliu County.

Looking at the boundary monument in front of him, Qi Xiu hesitated and took half a step back.

It is obvious that Qingliu County, which has gathered so many young talents and has a fairy magistrate, must be a very dazzling existence.

And dazzling also means attracting attention.

This kind of place is not easy to live in.

It is easy to be affected.

Not suitable for his smooth development.

Just when Qi Xiu was about to leave, he suddenly thought about it and stopped again.

He has now achieved enlightenment.

It is necessary to supplement the means of entry level.

Although Qingliu County is dangerous, there are many people gathered here and there are many opportunities.

Although a small county like Baohe County is remote and stable.

But it is almost impossible to find the method to enter the Taoist realm there.

The ghost market there can't even buy real martial arts skills, let alone the methods of entering Taoism.

"I still have more than ten Shadow Shadow Wushuang Talisman left in my hand. If there is any emergency, I can retreat safely by cooperating with the Light Escape.

What's more, my luck won't be that bad.

Qingliu County can even stop tens of thousands of rebels.

Is it possible that I can break the city as soon as I arrive? "

Nodding thoughtfully, Qi Xiu turned around, shook his sleeves and robe, and drove the Dunguang towards the gate of Qingliu County along the official road.

……

Qingliu County, the county government office.

This is a study where outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering.

The interior decoration of the room is simple and exquisite, giving a feeling of tranquility and comfort.

There is an antique mahogany desk in the study room, with several ancient books placed on it.

Next to the desk is a sandalwood chair made of mahogany, which exudes a faint fragrance.

Papers, the Four Treasures of the Study and a bronze porcelain pen holder are neatly placed on the desktop.The walls are covered with calligraphy, paintings and manuscripts, some of which have turned yellow with age.

The calligraphy and painting have smooth charm and concise lines, which appear more vivid under the light.

The manuscript is densely covered with words.

"Young Master, I have received a letter from home, asking you to go to Qingzhou Mansion as soon as possible to take up your post as originally planned.

You have been delayed in Qingliu County for a long time. "

Holding a cup of tea, the old man with white hair and beard and a kind face came to Li Jiufang, put down the tea cup, and reminded him softly.

Li Jiufang slowly raised his head and rubbed the bridge of his nose tiredly.

This well-known fairy magistrate looks like he is in his 30s, has long hair and a kind face.

Wearing a long robe, he looks like a learned Confucian scholar.

"I know Uncle Shou, but during this period there are frequent demon infestations outside the county, and the rebels from the Golden Flower Mother's Cult are lingering around.

If I leave at this time, Qingliu County may be in trouble. "

Taking a sip of tea, Li Jiufang turned his attention to a map with dense marks on the desk.

This is a map of Qingliu County with a radius of [-] miles.

The dense markings on it are the activity tracks of evil cultivators and foreign rebels.

These chaotic lines wrap up the entire Qingliu County.

It's like a pair of big hands trying to uproot this county!

“In today’s world, troubles can never be solved.

Your time is precious and cannot be wasted here forever.

Young Master Wuji broke through the blood-stained realm yesterday.

The third master asked me to tell you that if you don't leave again, he will come over in person. "

Frowning slightly, Li Jiufang waved her hand:

"I understand. Reply to my father for me. I will leave and take up my duties as soon as possible so that he can stay at home with peace of mind."

"Okay sir."

Nodding slightly, the white-haired old man bowed and left.

Li Jiufang was the only one left in the study.

After a long silence, a long sigh slowly sounded.

"Sigh... We are all from the human race, so should the lives of ordinary people really be regarded as nothing?"

……

Qingliu County.

Qi Xiu was in a daze when he entered this long-famous county town on the first day of the new year.

I saw that the streets in the city were busy with traffic, and a large number of people in cars, driving cars, and on foot were vying for passage.

The noisy sounds of vehicles, footsteps and shouts intertwined to create a busy and lively atmosphere.

Various signboards are hung at the entrances of shops, and shopkeepers are busy sorting out goods and attracting customers.

He had not seen such a lively scene for a long time.

What's even more bizarre is that besides the people in the city.

Troops wearing all kinds of armor and military uniforms can also be seen everywhere.

In addition, those who wore Taoist robes, monk robes, and short fighting uniforms were obviously martial arts practitioners.

And the escaping light that flashes through the air from time to time.

Such a bustling and noisy scene really opened Qi Xiu's eyes.

Compared with Qingliu County.

Baohe County is really a remote place in the corner of the country.

"Interesting, we really came to the right place in Qingliu County."

Watching with interest a group of sword-carrying monks holding dragon-scaled dragon horses walking beside him, Qi Xiu felt inexplicably relaxed and happy.

It's like being in your comfort zone.

"Let's find a place to live first."

Strolling around the city like a leisurely stroll.

Maybe it was because I was alone for a long time during the retreat.

As soon as he arrived in this popular city, Qi Xiu was like a curious baby, wanting to see everything.

After a while I crossed two streets.

Qi Xiu stopped in front of a rather large restaurant.

"Sir, would you like to stay in the hotel?" The restaurant waiter came up to me with a smile on his face, a white towel draped over his shoulders.

"Eat first, four signature dishes will be served first."

After finding a seat by the window, Qi Xiu picked up a chopstick and looked at the restaurant boredly.

With a three-story layout, the first and second floors are places for eating. At least half of the more than 20 tables are occupied.

Looking at the dishes on the table, there are also fish, meat, wine and vegetables, which is very rich.

It's such a mess outside.

The restaurants in Qingliu County can still operate as usual. Can the caravans still deliver goods normally at this time?
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes, and after a while the waiter came up with a dinner plate. Qi Xiu then asked:

"Man, I'd like to ask, I heard that there is a lot of chaos outside. How do you deliver the vegetables, meat, fish and shrimp in your store?"

When Qi Xiu asked this, the clerk immediately smiled:
"Sir, you are from outside.

You may not know that our Qingliu County is no different from other counties in that we don’t need to deliver our meat, fish and shrimp from outside at all. "

"Oh, how do you say that?"

"After you finish your meal, you go out and walk straight east. After passing Ziwu Street, there are a series of wooden buildings.

Once you get there, you'll know what's going on. "

Leaving Qi Xiu with a little riddle, the waiter said hello, turned around and left.

"No need to send it outside?
Is it possible that the whole city is self-sufficient in food, vegetables and meat?

It’s too late to plant now. "

His curiosity was aroused. After clearing the dishes on the table, Qi Xiu stood up and followed the route the waiter had just mentioned.

Go out the door and head north, passing Ziwu Street.

In a crowded, noisy crowd.

We found the cluster of wooden buildings that the guy mentioned.

Looking up at the magnificent archway, which is more than ten feet high, decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, depicting the colorful clouds and rising sun.

Qi Xiu's eyes fell on a line of gold-lacquered characters in the center.

Shen Kee Wanhuo Store!
