Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 33 The Specter and the Resignation

In the blink of an eye, nearly ten years had passed since Zhou Qian's wedding.

The lives of the people in Qingyang County have returned to their usual tranquility.

After experiencing the Zhou family's extravagance, many people talked about whether Zhou Qian would have to suffer like this again when Zhou Qian gave birth to a child.

During this period of time, Lin Ji had a rare leisure time and had been practicing at home, but he was still close to breaking through to the fourth realm.

In the early morning, before dawn, a hasty knock on the door interrupted Lin Ji's practice.
"Captain Lin, something has happened!"

Lin Ji walked out of the house quickly and opened the gate to the yard.

When the person came, he was the catcher of the county government.

"Catcher, you go to the yamen to have a look, old Qiao has run into a ghost."

"Breaking ghosts?" Lin Ji's expression froze.

Old Qiao was the watchman in the county, the one who beat and yelled with a gong in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping soundly.

Logically speaking, Old Qiao would never leave the county seat, but this is not Liangcheng in the county, where did the night come from?
Old Joe has been playing updates all his life, and nothing happened.

After dismissing the arresting officers, Lin Ji went back to the house, dressed neatly, and hurried to the county government office.

On the way, I also ran into Lu Cong who lived not far away, who had just been woken up.

Guo Yi led the sleepy Ayane to arrive.

These two came from the Zongmen's downhill training and did not buy real estate in Qingyang County, so they lived next to the yamen.

"Zhou Qian...forget it." Seeing that only Zhou Qian hadn't arrived, Lin Ji didn't bother to talk about him.

In the lobby of the yamen, on a wooden board, Old Qiao's body was placed on it, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was tightly closed, but blood was faintly bitten on his lips.

"He's not dead yet, but he's about to die." Wu Zuo Lao Xing looked sad. Lao Qiao was his lifelong friend. Seeing his friend suffer at this time, how could he accept it calmly.

"My condolences." Lin Ji patted Lao Xing on the shoulder and looked at Lao Qiao.

At the same time, Guo Yi also said from the side: "The lips are bruised, the body is stiff, and all life is lost. It is indeed the recruitment of ghosts to harm people."

Lin Ji nodded.

Lao Xing stretched out his hand and pinched Lao Qiao's jaw open.

A strange smell suddenly gushed out.

Lin Ji frowned, and looked at Lao Xing in confusion.

"what happened?"

"I don't know anything about ghosts and ghosts, but my breath is so foul-smelling, plus what Detective Guo said earlier, I should have been scared out of my wits."

While speaking, Old Qiao swallowed his last breath.

Lao Xing let out a long sigh, and reached out his hand to close Lao Qiao's eyes.

"Who discovered this?" Lin Ji asked.

"The police patrolling the streets at night said they saw Lao Qiao lying on the side of the road and thought he was ill, but when he came back, he found something was wrong." Guo Yi said, and then frowned, "How can there be ghosts in the county? ? To be able to harm people so unscrupulously, even in the middle of the night, is a ghost to say the least."

Lin Ji thought so too.

Ordinary ghosts and wild ghosts, most of them have just died and their spirits are still alive.

This kind of little ghost will disappear in a short time, and naturally it will not harm anyone, just like the Miss Luo I met by chance.

But if ghosts start to practice ignorantly, such as ingesting the anger of animals or people, they will start to transform into ghosts.

Lost all wisdom and turned into a ghost soldier, only the instinct to hunt for life remained.

Ghost pawns are extremely weak. Although they can harm people, ghost pawns dare not get close to any young people with strong yang energy.

But the county town is full of living people, so how could the little ghosts dare to enter the city easily, at most they would kill a few rabbits in the mountains and fields.

Further up, it is a ghost.

"But Li Gui's words. We're not too far away from Liangcheng. Didn't all the nearby Li Gui seek refuge with the Ghost King of Liangcheng? How could they harm people in Qingyang County?" Lin Ji couldn't figure it out.

If it was before, it would be fine, Qingyang County would occasionally have a few ghosts haunting it.

But at the current pass, Liangcheng is besieged by thousands of ghosts, and the ghost king of Liangcheng restrains his subordinates, so there are no ghosts running around.

Guo Yi and the others couldn't figure it out either, but no matter what, this matter had to be resolved.

Lin Ji glanced outside the hall, it was already daylight.

"Don't rest these few nights, watch the night in the county." Lin Ji ordered, "Li Gui is at most a second level, Lingyin can deal with it, so there is no need to panic."

"Lu Cong, you are only in the first level, be careful yourself, if you come across it, yell, we will be there soon."

"Yes." Lu Cong nodded.

Lingyin asked suddenly: "What if it's not a ghost, but a ghost general?"

Lin Ji glanced at Ayane, laughed dumbfounded, and didn't bother to explain.

"If it was a ghost general, Lao Qiao wouldn't be alive now." Guo Yi whispered from the side.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this." Lin Ji dismissed everyone with a wave of his hand, only to find that only Lu Cong had left, Ayane and Guo Yi seemed to have something to say.

"Need me for something?" Lin Ji casually found a chair and sat down. Before the two of them could speak, he asked again, "Where is Zhou Qian? It's been a long time and he hasn't come yet?"

While speaking, footsteps sounded outside the hall.

Zhou Qian walked quickly into the lobby.

"I said, even if you are a newlywed, you are not a fledgling child, so what?" Lin Ji said helplessly.

There was a slight smile on Zhou Qian's face, and then his expression became serious.

"Boss Lin, this is my resignation."

"Resignation letter? You quit?" Lin Ji took the resignation letter and frowned, "Zhou Qian, I haven't been harsh on you, have I? I know that your ambition is not here, so I will let you avoid any dangerous things Blended."

"Yes, Zhou Qian remembers Catcher Lin's care." Zhou Qian nodded quickly and explained, "I'm going to move with my wife to Xiangzhou."

"Move away? Your father, don't you care?"

"My father is always strong, haha ​​my third mother is happy." Zhou Qian smiled helplessly.

Lin Ji was really surprised this time.

Mr. Zhou must be over 50 years old. It is a tradition to co-author your Zhou family.

Lin Ji accepted the resignation letter, thought for a moment, and said carefully, "I won't stop you if you want to leave, but your wife."

"As expected, you can see that, that's right, Xiaomei is a monk." Zhou Qian didn't hide anything, "Xiaomei is a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, and because the Hehuan Sect is in Xiangzhou, that's why I plan to move there with her."

"Acacia Sect?"

Lin Ji thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Why did the disciples of the Hehuan Sect come to Liangzhou? They also ran to the brothel."

"It's not convenient for me to tell you the inside story, but if you insist on knowing."

"No need, as long as it doesn't harm the people, I don't really want to hear it." Lin Ji shook his head, waved his hands and said, "Okay, if you want to go, go quickly."

Zhou Qian bowed deeply and said solemnly: "Boss, I wish you a bright future and prosperous martial arts."

After the words fell, Zhou Qian left quickly.

Lin Ji sighed softly, the manpower was already insufficient, and the quality was also worrying, and now another one left.

He looked at Guo Yi and Ayane who were beside him.

"What's the matter with you two, don't you also submit your resignation letter?"

As soon as the words were spoken, Ayane handed over a letter coyly.

Lin Ji's face suddenly collapsed.
