Chapter Twelve: Lin'an City
erial of the Zhansheng Sword is refined from the remnants of a half-step demon god's Ghost Saint. The remains of a half-step demon god itself possesses terrifying power.Later.After being forged by Gon...Guangyuan Mansion, Lin'an City.
After receiving his evaluation task, Shen Changqing immediately went to Lin'an City.
This time's assessment task.
Only he went there alone.
>
Don't look at the Demon Suppression Division as if it has a lot of manpower, but in fact, the number of monsters and strange creatures existing in various places is much larger. It's impossible for a few people to complete a task.
Besides considering Shen Changqing's strength, Jiang Zu directly allowed the other party to go to Lin'an City alone.
About ten days.
Shen Changqing finally arrived in Lin'an City.
Unlike the splendor of the capital, Lin'an City appeared much more subdued.
But he didn't pay much attention to these external appearances. His purpose in coming here was to eliminate demons, and everything else didn't really concern him too much.
Please show your identification.
>
Shen Changqing easily entered the yamen.
The magistrate of Lin'an City also came to greet him first.
“This officer Zhao Fang, has yet to inquire about your esteemed name!”
"Shen Changqing, the apprentice demon hunter of the Huang Department of the Demon Suppression Division!"
Shen Changqing slightly bowed his hands.
As he spoke, he was already sizing up the person in front of him.
As early as when I arrived in Ancheng.
Shen Changqing had already collected a lot of information about Lin'an City, including the magistrate in front of him.
The other party has served as the county magistrate of Lin'an City for almost twenty years.
Over twenty years.
Lin'an City had also experienced several calamities caused by demons and monsters, but Zhao Fang remained as steady as a mountain, still holding onto his position as county magistrate.
To this, Shen Changqing was also somewhat admiring.
If you don't agree, then do something about it.
If one were a normal person, upon encountering one or two supernatural calamities, they would simply resign and retire, not daring to linger in Lin'an City any longer.
But Zhao Fang was different.
Through numerous demonic calamities, they never retreated.
Just this courage alone is something unmatched by others.
While Shen Changqing was sizing Zhao Fang up, Zhao Fang was doing the same to him.
But only for a moment, he withdrew his gaze, a passionate smile lighting up his face.
“So it’s Lord Shen of the Demon Suppression Division. Lord Shen has traveled far, why not rest in the city for a night and wait until tomorrow Then this official will have a good talk with you about the matter of demons.”
“No, slaying demons is a matter of urgency. If I rest for another day, perhaps more people will lose their lives. It's best to deal with it promptly.”
Shen Changqing shook his head.
In his heart, completing the mission was still the priority.
As for the rest, we'll talk about it later.
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Fang's face was even more passionate: "Lord Shen, you are so warm-hearted and hospitable. This official admires you very much. Since Lord Shen is eager to deal with the demons, this official will have someone explain it to you."
That's all.
His face turned serious.
>
"Let people in!"
“What orders do you have, my lord!” A guard standing behind him stepped forward at the opportune moment.
"Convey my order, have Captain Zhang come here immediately."
"Yes!"
The officer received his orders and left.
As he left, Zhao's face finally broke into a smile again: "Sir Shen, please follow this official into the inner hall and have a seat."
“Thank you!”
Inside the government office.
Shen Changqing sat on the left and Zhao Fang on the right.
Just as the servant was bringing tea, a tall, somewhat elderly man carrying a sword walked in.
"Zhao, sir!"
>
“Zhang the head catcher has arrived, please take a seat!”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Zhao Fang nodded, then pointed at Shen Changqing and introduced him.
“This is Shen Changqing, Master Shen from the Demon Suppression Division. This is Zhang Long, Captain Zhang from the Lin’an City Yamen. Captain Zhang has been a captain for about ten years, so he’s quite experienced.”
"If Master Shen has any questions, please feel free to ask Zhang the Head Catcher."
I have received the introduction.
Shen Changqing also turned his gaze towards Zhang Long.
Even before the other party had entered, he could see that Zhang the Captain's qi and blood were surging, clearly indicating a high level of skill in external martial arts.
Body Tempering Realm!
And it is by no means an ordinary state of physical conditioning.
It is very possible that the warrior has already reached the late stage or even the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.
Shen Changqing slightly bowed his hands.
"I've met Zhang the head catcher."
"Lord Shen, you are too kind!" Zhang Long was quite surprised and hurriedly returned the salute: "I don't know what Lord Shen wants to inquire about. Please feel free to speak directly."
He was unaware of Shen Changqing's background.
Simply relying on the three words "Demon Suppression Division" is enough to explain a lot.
No matter where.
The people of the Demon Suppression Division all have immense status.
Even Zhao Fang, who was a county magistrate, had to treat him with courtesy. How much more so for someone like me, just a lowly head catcher.
>Moreover.
When facing Shen Changqing, Zhang Long found himself unable to see through him at all.
As a member of the Demon Suppression Division, it's naturally impossible to have no cultivation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There's only one reason why you can't see it.
In front of me, Shen Changqing's strength was far beyond mine.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate other text!
Thinking about this.
Zhang Long even more dared not be disrespectful.
Shen Changqing said: "I got information from the Demon Suppression Division that there are demons appearing in Lin'an City, but I hope Captain Zhang can give a comprehensive answer about how exactly."
"Demon—"
Zhang, the head catcher, nodded and his expression gradually calmed as if he was recalling something. After a long while, he slowly spoke.
>“As early as half a month ago, someone came to report a murder, and we immediately sent yamen officers to investigate. When they arrived at the scene, they found that all the dead had become mummies.”
After the coroner's verification, all bodies had just recently died, yet their blood had drained from them, as if they had been dead for years.
"At the very first moment, we realized that there must be some evil spirits at play."
The inner hall.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing sat there, listening to Zhang Long's words.
The words he spoke from his mouth were almost identical to the information he received at the Demon Suppression Division.
After the other party finished speaking.
Then Shen Changqing asked, "After the discovery of the corpse, did anything else happen"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"As for that, this official does know a little."
Zhang Long had not yet opened his mouth, but Zhao Fang spoke up instead.
After confirming that evil spirits were at work, we had the villagers evacuated and then sealed off the entire village, preventing anyone from entering or leaving temporarily.
As of now, nothing seems to be happening.
Monstrous creatures were found.
Then, immediately, all the villagers were transferred out.
As for Zhao Fang's actions, Shen Changqing also deeply agrees.
According to the information from the Demon Suppression Office, the eerie creature that committed the murder is only at the You level. As the lowest level of You-grade eerie creatures, they are unable to leave their original location easily and most of them use certain objects as carriers.
That is to say.
As long as the villagers are relocated and the village is sealed off, there won't be any other problems for a short time.
After all, it is eerie and frightening.
Then it depends on what level of monster we're talking about.
Even though ghostly monsters are very troublesome, they can be controlled if dealt with properly.
"Master Zhao is quite skilled at this, isn't he" Shen Changqing said with a hint of meaning.
Zhao Fang chuckled wryly: "There's no other way. In recent years, Lin'an City has frequently been plagued by demonic calamities. Even the most clueless person should understand how to deal with demons."
Fortunately, the demons and monsters that have appeared so far have not caused too much impact.
With Mr. Shen arriving now, there is even less of a problem.
After all, the Demon Suppression Office has slain countless demons and monsters over the years. With Master Shen's abilities, dealing with them should not be a problem.
At last.
Zhao Fang subtly flattered him.
Before the demons.
Ordinary people have no right to resist at all.
Only the powerful warriors of the Demon Suppression Division can truly deal with demons.
>
Though Shen Changqing was an apprentice exorcist, the lowest level among all exorcists, the fact that the Demonic Suppression Office sent him here proved he was capable of handling it.
As for this, Zhao Fang did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest.
Where is the village where demons appear
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“About ten miles east of Lin'an City,” this time Zhang Long answered.
That's all.
He didn't wait for Shen Changqing to reply and continued, "If Lord Shen wants to go to the village to take a look, it's best to wait until tomorrow."
It's getting late now, and it's difficult to see at night. It's not a good time to deal with demons.
"If you go during the day, the strong sunlight might actually make it easier."
That'll work.
Shen Changqing did not refuse Zhang Long's proposal, it wasn't that he truly thought dealing with monsters was better during the day.
Since demons, strictly speaking, are not afraid of the scorching sunlight.
>
Whether it is during the day or at night, strength will not weaken or strengthen.
It's just that in the eyes of ordinary people, demons and fiends are evil things, so they fear sunlight during the day and dare not show themselves easily. But at night, their strength increases greatly.
Shen Changqing's reason for not going now.
It is also because he traveled for a long time, even masters at the Tongmai realm could not withstand such consumption.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And plus.
>
It is late in the day.
Although it can see at night, there are still some differences compared to daytime.
It won't be long.
Zhao Fang then arranged for Shen Changqing to be accommodated.
Considering that the other party came from the Demon Suppression Office, he didn't dare to be even slightly disrespectful.
Originally, Zhao Fang wanted to have Shen Changqing live in his mansion. But since the other party refused, he could only arrange for him the best inn in the city.
Although Lin'an City is small.
It's quite well-equipped, all things considered.
Everything that should be there is present.
Under Zhang Long's lead, Shen Changqing arrived at a guesthouse in Lin'an City. Because of his past life memories, he was indifferent to the guesthouse's environment.
"Lord Shen, please rest well and await my visit tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you, Captain Zhang."
"Lord Shen, your words are too kind. This humble servant takes his leave!"
Zhang Long bowed and retired.
At that moment, only Shen Changqing remained in the guest room.
He didn't fall asleep right away, but rather spent time thinking about things. After all, this was his first mission and he couldn't afford to be careless.
...and.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The objective is the eerie, if you're careless, you might just fall into it.
For the sake of one's own life.
No matter what, Shen Changqing must treat this matter with caution.
Please collect it, recommend it, and vote for the monthly ticket!!!
