Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 70
Hearing the report from the yamen servant, Lin Ji didn't get up.

The chief arrester is in charge of all affairs of the Tiansi in Liangzhou, and the cases in Liangcheng are naturally taken over by the arresters in the city.

Otherwise, what do you want those head arresters and deputy head arresters to do?
"How did you find me? Where's Sun Hai?"

The yamen servant smiled wryly, he didn't know how to explain it, if Sun Hai could solve it, how could he bother you, Mr. Chief Arrester?

Seeing this, Lin Ji had no choice but to stand up and walk all the way to the Yamen lobby.

Walking into the hall, Lin Ji saw a man in brocade suit in his early 50s.

With a jade wrench in his hand, the clothes on his body are quite fine, and should be made of high-quality fabrics.

"Who are you?" Lin Ji asked casually.

"Returning to your lord, I'm Zheng Yunxuan."

Lin Ji subconsciously looked at the yamen servant who was following him.

This yamen servant is also quite astute, and intends to curry favor with Lin Ji.

"It's the head of the Zheng family."

"The Zheng family?"

"Not long after I came to Liangcheng, I run a tailor shop business in the city, and there are seven or eight shops."

Lin Ji sized up the yamen servant.

"What's your name?"

When the yamen servant heard this, his face suddenly lit up with joy.

"Returning to the adults, the little Zhou Ying, my father likes to gamble, so he named me this."

"Well, that's a good name." Lin Ji patted Zhou Ying on the shoulder.

Looking at Zheng Yunxuan again, Lin Ji's heart is at least a little bit different.

"Patriarch Zheng, where in the city does your family live?"

"In the west of the city."

"Which deputy head catcher will the west of the city belong to?"

"Gui Li catches the head, but he doesn't care, saying that he can't kill all the ghosts outside the city, how can he have time to take care of the Zheng family's trivial matters."

Lin Ji froze for a moment, Li Wushuang was really good.

"Catcher Li doesn't care, and the other deputy catchers don't care?"

"Chu Butou can't find anyone."

Lin Ji looked at Zhou Ying beside him.

"Chu Qin came out of the sect to practice, so I don't know the details."

When he heard that it was the sect who came down the mountain, Lin Ji immediately understood.

Zongmen's disciples are like this, they obviously enter the world to practice, but they have to pretend that they don't eat the fireworks of the world.

When he was in Qingyang County, Guo Yi just let it go. When he first came, Ling Yin had the same attitude. He practiced all day long without a case, and ignored other things, and rarely had any contact with others.

Lin Ji looked at Zheng Yunxuan again.

"Where's Sun Hai? He's already a captor, why don't you look for him?"

"I found it. Catcher Sun said that the west of the city is Catcher Li's territory, so he can't get involved." Zheng Yunxuan smiled wryly, "And Catcher Wu has...already"

Lin Ji waved his hand to show that he understood.

"Why is Liangcheng so evil? There are so many arresters, but none of them handles the case? There are many reasons for each of them."

Just from these few words, Lin Ji could feel the complexity of Liang Cheng.

But he is not afraid of offending people.

"Are there any other deputy head arresters in the city?"

"There is also Tian Jiufeng, deputy head arrester Tian, ​​but deputy head arrester Tian is in charge of the south of the city, and" Zhou Ying whispered from the side.

"And what? Don't worry about it."

Zhou Ying said: "Besides, Deputy Tian's chief arrester doesn't care about anything, he is a member of the Tian family."

"The Tian family is a big family in the city?" Lin Ji thought of Tian Wenliang who was sent away by him.

Zhou Ying nodded.

Lin Ji didn't bother to ask any more, and looked at Zheng Wenxuan.

"Tell me, what happened to your family? The following arresters don't work, so you have to find the head of the demon catcher?"

"It's a tree." When Zheng Yunxuan mentioned this matter, fear appeared on his face.

"Trees?" Lin Ji was stunned.

Zheng Yunxuan said: "It was a month ago. My old man thought that a big tree in the house was an eyesore, so he planned to cut it down. Who would have thought that the trouble would start here?"

"That tree can't be cut down! I tried everything with an axe and a saw, and it's clear that it can be cut down, but the big tree just won't fall down."

"Break but not fall? Keep talking." Lin Ji became a little interested.

"Every time a tree is cut down, the tree will bleed blood-red sap, but after the sap flows to the ground, it disappears, and the ground has not been dyed red. It is strange."

"Even so, do you still want to chop?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zheng Yunxuan quickly shook his head: "Of course not!"

"But after the first tree felling, there was no peace in our family anymore! Every night, people in the family would have nightmares, and when they woke up the next day, they were weak and sweating profusely."

"It was okay at first, and I can bear it. But just a few days ago, my parents were killed by that tree, and they will die with regret."

While speaking, Zheng Yunxuan's eyes were already red.

"Dead?" Lin Ji couldn't laugh anymore.

Before, I just listened to the excitement and thought it was trees becoming spirits.

But hearing that someone died, this matter can't be joked anyway.

Lin Ji got up and said, "Go, go to your house and look at that tree."

Zheng Yunxuan nodded quickly.

Lin Ji said to Zhou Ying, the yamen servant at the side: "Go and call me all the deputy arresters in the city, and go to Zheng's house to meet me!"

"Of order." Zhou Ying responded quickly.

Follow Zheng Wenxuan all the way to Zheng's house.

Still outside the house, Lin Ji saw the tall tree in the backyard.

It is more than [-] meters long, which is really rare in the city.

When he came to the back garden of the house, Lin Ji immediately felt the spiritual energy permeating the big tree.

"Sure enough, a big tree becomes a spirit."

Animals whose spirits are enlightened are demons, while plants whose spirits are inspired are spirits.

The number of elves is actually not less than that of monsters, but most of them are in the deep mountains and old forests.

And compared to the difficulty of monsters, spirit monsters are treasures in the eyes of monks.

It is most suitable to catch alchemy and tonic.

This is the first time Lin Ji has heard of someone who becomes a master in the city like this and dares to harm others.

"Master Lin, this is the place." Zheng Wenxuan stood at the garden gate and dared not come in.

Lin Ji didn't care about this, he went straight into the garden, picked up the ax on the ground, and walked towards the big tree.

"If you don't harm others, I don't care about you. If you dare to harm others, then don't blame me."

After the words fell, Lin Ji raised his ax and slashed at the big tree.

The ax was quite sharp and sank into the tree trunk in no time.

Bright red juice flowed out.

"It's really strange."

Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, and continued to swing the axe.

There were enough two people to embrace the thick and thin trunk, and Lin Ji chopped it through after a while.

But the big tree remained motionless, as if it had not been broken.

"Not yet?"

Lin Ji kicked and planted on the tree trunk, and the leaves on the top of the tree that he kicked kept shaking, but the big tree still did not fall.

Seeing this scene, Lin Ji lost his temper immediately.

Getting ready to kick again.

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded next to his ear.

"come in!"

Before Lin Ji could react, the scene in front of him changed.

He was already in the tree trunk.

Surrounding him was an extremely small space, and his whole body was tightly wrapped by wood.

It was as if he had grown out of a tree trunk.

Gradually, the gaps around him also disappeared, and the wood piled up on his body, and the pressure became more and more obvious.

"This is trying to squeeze me to death."
