Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Chapter 26 [026] One Night Master

night.

The silver moon hangs high in the sky, but its light is blocked by dark clouds.

Most areas in Qingshi County were dark, with only a few corners lit.

In a quiet courtyard, Zhang Hucheng opened the door and walked back and forth in the room, looking outside from time to time.

"Why haven't you come yet? Are you not coming? Or are you drunk?"

Zhang Hucheng muttered as he walked.

suddenly……

"The demon corpse you sent is useless. Don't send it again in the future."

A voice suddenly sounded, followed by a figure falling from the courtyard wall.

Zhang Hucheng was startled, but he reacted immediately and ran out of the house, bowed and shouted, "Greetings, Master Chen."

"I'm not an adult." Chen Zhizhen had a blank expression on his face. "Fifth Master asked me to tell you something. Next time before you do something, use your brain more."

"Yes, yes." Zhang Hucheng nodded hurriedly, with a smile on his face, "I admit my guilt, next time..."

"I told you, no need to do it next time." Chen Zhizhen frowned, his eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice, "Just be a good county lieutenant, and don't worry about other things in the future."

After he finished speaking, he stepped on the ground, leaped into the air, flew out of the courtyard wall, and disappeared into the night sky.

"not me……"

Zhang Hucheng opened his mouth to shout, but subconsciously stopped himself, feeling frustrated and angry.

"Damn it, it's no fun to just go in and not out!"

The demon's corpse is useless? Does that mean it's too late to send it there?

How did he know that the area over at Dalong Mountain disappeared just like that?

If it weren’t for Gu Zheng’s ability, he would have rushed back in time and killed all the demons in the city.

He died before anyone could even come.

"What a crap prince's confidant, he's even worse than Gu Zheng!"

Zhang Hucheng cursed in his heart.

As I turned back into the house, my brain started to work.

"There's no hope for Master Wu, why not cling to Gu Zheng's thigh?"

Gu Zheng entered the Demon Slaying Division, and was promoted directly to a small flag without having to attend a training camp.

If he could make achievements quickly and be promoted to the rank of general flag bearer or even centurion, he would definitely be a big shot.

If you join forces with such a big shot before he becomes successful, you will be rewarded greatly in the future!

At least compared to the Fifth Master, Zhang Hucheng knew Gu Zheng's character very well.

I used to dislike and feel unhappy with him because Gu Zheng is Tong Yuanshan’s man.

Now Gu Zheng no longer needs to rely on Tong Yuanshan. Instead, it is Tong Yuanshan who takes advantage of Gu Zheng. This time when the demons caused chaos in Qingshi County, not many people died. That bastard Tong Yuanshan will definitely be promoted and leave!

Tong Yuanshan is gone. Can he make some plans for the position of county magistrate?
Gu Zheng was favored by Yan Hongxue, and he also knew a lot of young men from aristocratic families, and they had some friendship in the past...

Even if we don't have a personal relationship, we've known each other for half a year and can talk to each other.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hucheng made a decision.

……

……

Yan Hongxue acted quickly.

Most of the people left the city and went into the mountains to search for traces of demons, trying to eliminate all the demons in Qingshi County.

A small number of people stayed in the city to check qualifications and verify identity information.

Whether or not to join the Demon Slaying Bureau is not discussed for now.

The constables, yamen runners, and soldiers of the city defense department were still very interested in checking their qualifications.

Everyone signed up to see if they had talent.

The inspection process is not very complicated.

Drip blood into a disc, then touch the bones, drink a potion, run as fast as possible, and push the millstone with the greatest strength.

After completing the three steps, a person's qualifications can be detected.

Gu Zheng watched from the side for a long time but couldn't figure out what was going on, so he turned around and left.

Once all the demons in Qingshi County are eliminated and the threat of the field is gone, it will be the safest place in the future.

For this reason, Gu Zheng wrote a letter to the provincial capital, asking his family to come back.

Before the Gu family members returned, Gu Zheng tried to carve a seal of the Dark Heart Slave, and then went to Fengzhou with Tao Liu, Wu Kun and others. The headquarters of Fengzhou Demon Slayer Division was located in the state capital, and the training camp was also there.

How can I leave if my home is not settled?

……

"Boss, we found the person."

As soon as he returned to Gu's house, Han Ming came to the door, leaned close to him, and whispered, "The person who reported you was Liu Xiaoji. That guy has always held a grudge against you. However, he went out today and accidentally broke his legs. Both legs were broken, and the bones were shattered."

"That's unfortunate." Gu Zheng nodded, "I broke my leg. Did the government pay for the medicine?"

"No." Han Ming replied sternly, "The county magistrate said that this was his own fault. The government won't pay for the medicine. However, considering that he has a broken leg and can no longer serve as a yamen runner, we will give him one or two taels of silver as a living allowance."

"But this guy had a gambling debt before, and the money was robbed as soon as he got it. In addition, his arm was broken and one of his eyes was blinded."

"So unfortunate?"

Gu Zheng commented, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Han Ming, how are your test results? Did you meet the minimum qualification requirements?"

"No."

Speaking of himself, Han Ming sighed, "My talent has never been that great, but it's good enough that I have achieved what I have now."

"After I leave, the position of captain will be yours." Gu Zheng smiled. "Of course, if you want, I can go find Yan Hongxue and let you become a wrestler directly. I have asked, and if you don't take secret medicine and just become a wrestler, the qualification requirements will be lowered."

"Don't go."

Han Ming shook his head. "I've learned a little about that strongman. Although there are many opportunities to become stronger, the danger is greater. Fighting with demons, if you don't say you have a one-time chance of death, at least you have a three-time chance of death. If you can survive three out of ten times, it's pretty good. My mother and sister still need my care. If I die, what will happen to them?"

"That's true." Gu Zheng stopped trying to persuade her. His eyes flickered and he said, "Come with me."

Ok?
Han Ming was puzzled, but said nothing. He followed Gu Zheng into the study.

"Close the door." Gu Zheng ordered.

Han Ming turned around and closed the door.

When he turned around, he saw a crystal clear fruit in Gu Zheng's hand.

“This is the source fruit.”

Gu Zheng looked solemn as he introduced, "This is a magical fruit that I harvested in Dalong Mountain. After eating it, it can strengthen your body. Of course, this is for ordinary people. For me, it is not very useful. If you believe me, you can eat it."

As he spoke, Gu Zheng handed over the source fruit.

[Source Fruit: Strengthen the Body]

This is one of the several source fruits that Gu Zheng discovered later in Dalong Mountain.

With Gu Zheng's current physical condition, the effect that this source fruit can provide is minimal, but it is different after Han Ming eats it.

Gu Zheng left Qingshi County and Han Ming stayed behind. If Han Ming became stronger, the stability of the Gu family would undoubtedly be better guaranteed.

Of course, the best guarantee is for the Gu family themselves to become stronger.

Fortunately, there are two body-strengthening source fruits. Giving one to Han Ming is just enough to test the efficacy of this source fruit.

……

"it is good!"

Han Ming glanced at the source fruit, took it without hesitation, took two bites, and swallowed it.

Soon, his body became hot, smoke began to come out of his head and body, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Gu Zheng was startled.

He hurriedly checked and concentrated his mind, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he found that Han Ming was just unconscious.

Afterwards, he stood guard at the edge, protecting the Dharma while carving the Dark Heart Slave Seal.

One night passed quickly.

At dawn.

Han Ming suddenly woke up and sat up straight, "I'm not dead?"

"Of course not."

Gu Zheng turned his head and looked at him, "Stand up and try to see how much your strength will increase."

"...Okay." Han Ming, whose clothes were soaked, stood up quickly and punched the solid pillar beside him.

Call ~
The fists made a sound.

Bang!
"Crack!"

The thick pillar with a diameter of more than 20 centimeters was directly pierced through, and the upper and lower halves were cracked and full of cracks.

"This..." Han Ming widened his eyes.

"Congratulations, you have become a master."
