Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 565
Late at night, in the small courtyard behind the government office.

The surroundings are completely silent, except that there are often chirping sounds from the big tree outside the study not far away.

Lin Ji and Zhong Xiaoyan sat back to back by the garden, and on the other side of the garden, there was a barbecue grill that hadn't been cleared away.

There is also a bit of cumin smell in the air.

In the afternoon, Lin Ji took Zhong Xiaoyan to get acquainted with Ah Ling and Lianyu, and then cooked a barbecue in this small courtyard.

Simple but hilarious.

After the show ended, Lin Ji rejected Lianyu's plan to clean up the scene, but stayed alone with Zhong Xiaoyan in the garden, talking about the recent situation after parting.

"So during my retreat, you have experienced so many things and visited so many places." Zhong Xiaoyan's tone was somewhat regretful.

As soon as she left the customs, she heard about Lin Ji's becoming the official of Sanpin Town.

She couldn't figure out why Lin Ji was left far behind even though she had worked hard enough and tried a thousand times harder than before.

"If possible, I don't want to go through this." Lin Ji smiled lightly, looking at the bright moon in the sky, feeling the warmth of Zhong Xiaoyan's body from his back.

He felt an incomparable tranquility that he hadn't felt for a long time.

"In the beginning, I just wanted to have some self-preservation power, earn some money to buy a house, marry a wife and have a baby, and pass my life in a mediocre way."

"No prospect." Zhong Xiaoyan curled her lips, "Why should the house be bigger? Is it enough for just one child?"

"I thought you were going to say that I wasted my talent, or that I had no ambitions."

"I used to feel that way."

"what about now?"

Zhong Xiaoyan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly.

"What sigh?"

"I didn't feel anything when I was separated from you, and I didn't feel anything when I occasionally thought of you when I was in retreat."

While talking, Zhong Xiaoyan turned to look at Lin Ji.

"Even... I came to Victoria as soon as I left the customs. I just heard about your recent situation. I wanted to know if your cultivation base has improved a lot, and whether I have a chance to catch up with you again."

"And then?" Lynn asked.

"I had to meet you, and after I took the bunch of hawthorns you handed over, the sugar-coated sugar-coated candied haws, I suddenly realized the so-called taste of missing."

Hearing this, Lin Ji's face moved slightly, and his heart was a little turbulent.

"It's not like what you would say, twitching, bitch chirping." Lin Ji teased pretending to be calm.

"If you're not calm, your mind will be taken away by that Miss Lu." Zhong Xiaoyan said very calmly.

"Will not."

Zhong Xiaoyan pursed her mouth and didn't speak again.

"So what are you going to do after you come to Victoria?" Lin Ji changed the subject bluntly, "Working as an errand in Tiansi? Or practicing by yourself, anyway, I'm by my side, and I can take care of everything."

"This girl is also a night tour monk, why do you say that she is like a little girl who doesn't understand anything?" Zhong Xiaoyan was a little dissatisfied with Lin Ji's tone.

Seeing that Lin Ji was silent, Zhong Xiaoyan was also a little confused, and continued:

"I don't know. When I came out, I wanted to be a hero and continue the great cause of my girl's fame in the world. Who would have thought of walking outside for a few days, but I didn't have this thought."

Lin Ji smiled and said, "I still remember when we first met, you were still disguised as a man."

"Don't mention it." Zhong Xiaoyan covered her face.

It was only a year before and after, but Lin Ji clearly felt that Zhong Xiaoyan's changes were enough to turn the world upside down.

After a retreat, it seems that even his character has matured a lot.

"In short, think about it for yourself. Auntie hopes that you will achieve something in the future. You are the only seedling of the Zhong family's direct line, and the family still counts on you to become a Taoist in the future."

"Enter the Tao"

"What, no confidence?"

"If it was in the past, this girl would not care about entering the Tao at all."

"What about now?"

"It's almost impossible to expect extravagantly." Zhong Xiaoyan lowered her head slightly, her voice was a bit dull, "Lin Ji...do you know?"

"what do you know?"

"The reason why I was able to break through to the night travel realm in this retreat was because I was eager for quick success and took a shortcut, and almost exhausted Li Huo's blood. I am afraid that my cultivation will stop at day travel in the future."

Lin Ji's expression froze.

Of course he knew about this, Mrs. Zhong said it herself.

But didn't Mrs. Zhong say that Zhong Xiaoyan didn't know about this situation?

Zhong Xiaoyan continued: "At that time, I was anxious for success, and realized that something was wrong after the matter was completed, but it was already too late, and there was no turning back."

"Does uncle and aunt know?"

"I don't know, I didn't tell them because I was afraid they would be disappointed." Zhong Xiaoyan shook her head slightly.

Hearing this, Lin Ji reached out and grabbed Zhong Xiaoyan's hand.

He rubbed her fingertips lightly with his fingers, trying to comfort her.

"There will be a way."

"I hope so."

Lin Ji couldn't tell Zhong Xiaoyan about Mrs. Zhong's plan. After all, she was refining the flesh and blood of her ancestors, so it was better to keep it a secret.

Looking up at the sky, the moon was already setting, and there was a little misty white light in the far east.

"It's almost dawn, it's time to rest."

"You are a dignified day-traveling monk, and you also feel sleepy?"

"Sleeping is a beautiful thing, and it is as good as delicious food."

Hearing this, Zhong Xiaoyan smiled.

"You still have so many fallacies, I'm going back to my room."

After the words fell, Zhong Xiaoyan got up, smiled at Lin Ji, and walked into the room next to Lin Ji's wing.

Just before Zhong Xiaoyan closed the door, Lin Ji asked, "Xiaoyan, I'm afraid of the dark."

Boom!
It was Zhong Xiaoyan who slammed the door without hesitation in response to Lin Ji.

Two hundred miles south of Yucheng.

In front of Luofengpo, Luoxia County.

Zhong Lei knocked on the door of the county government with a bitter expression on his face.

"I'm here to report, a demon hunter from Yucheng."

After hearing Zhong Lei's words, the yamen servant quickly stepped aside and entered the yamen to meet Zhong Lei.

It's just that the Luoxia county government office is very deserted. After Zhong Lei was led to sit down in the side hall, no one came to take care of him for a long time.

"Brother, why is there no one in the county government office?" Zhong Lei asked.

"The county magistrate is sick in bed, and Chen Qi in the yamen went to the mountain with the rest of the demons under his command." The yamen servant replied, "A few days ago, there were some demons in the county, so I just got some clues, so Chen Qi The head took people to run errands."

"Oh? Is there a demon? How long has it been since the headhunter?"

"One day and one night."

"If you haven't returned for a day and a night, it must be because of the evil spirits, and you have encountered trouble in catching the head." Zhong Lei became interested.

"Where did Catcher Chen go?"

"It's Luofengpo outside the county, only about 30 miles away."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Zhong Lei laughed loudly, raised his legs and walked towards the outside of the yamen.

He is a dignified monk of the Zhong family, and he can't really start as a demon catcher.

This time, the trouble that even the arrest of the head can't be solved has been solved. If this matter is reported back to Yucheng, brother-in-law should take a high look at him, right?
At that time, not to mention too much, a Youxing official can always get in.
