"Is there anything else?" Lin Ji suddenly became interested.
"Tell me in detail!"
"That's what I meant." The slovenly Taoist priest seemed to be panicking because no one was talking to him along the way. Finally, he met someone from Supervising Tiansi, and he suddenly became talkative.
"The Liangcheng Ghost King was originally from Liangcheng. After his death hundreds of years ago, he turned into a powerful ghost and caused trouble. He was captured and suppressed in the Demon Suppression Tower."
"I don't know why he ran out later, and his cultivation level increased greatly." The sloppy Taoist priest shook his head and said: "Anyway, the ghost king doesn't know how he practiced in the Demon Suppressing Tower. I heard that he swallowed a whole Only the ghosts on the upper level can achieve their current level of cultivation."
"All in all, after coming out, the Ghost King was quite honest. He spread out the Ghost Domain far outside Liangcheng and turned it into the Ghost King City, occupying one area...Other than that, he didn't do anything too extraordinary. matter, so the imperial court turned a blind eye to it."
"That's because Supervisor Tiansi is too busy." How could Lin Ji not know the reason behind this.
Liangzhou alone was in chaos after the new king ascended the throne.
Half of the major cases recorded in the files submitted this time occurred after the new king granted amnesty to the world.
Liangzhou is still adjacent to Jingzhou, the head of the dragon vein, and is relatively stable.
One can imagine what kind of chaos the further states among the nine states in the world are now in.
"In the past, Supervisor Tiansi followed the method of killing demons and ghosts; unlike now, if you don't mess with me, I won't mess with you, haha." Lin Ji couldn't help laughing.
The sloppy Taoist priest also laughed at the side.
"Getting back to the subject, the youngest son of the Ghost King of Liangcheng stored his son's soul in the magic weapon he carried with him before he was sent to the Demon Suppression Tower. After he came out, he spent a lot of time cultivating himself and finally turned his son into a ghost general. ..."
"Wait, what did it turn into?" Lin Ji suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Ghost General." The sloppy Taoist priest explained, "Even the Ghost King's monstrous cultivation level took a lot of effort to train his son to the realm of Ghost General."
The ominous premonition in Lin Ji's heart became even stronger.
"Since he is the son of the Ghost King, he should be practicing in the Ghost King's city all day long, right? How could he be beaten to death?"
"It would be better if that little brat stayed peacefully in Ghost King City." The sloppy Taoist priest smiled, "Who knows what's wrong? A little brat dares to cause trouble in official circles, and he will be beaten to death. Not surprisingly."
"The road from Jingzhou to Liangzhou is not peaceful now. The ghost king of Liangcheng is furious. Every night there is a scene of hundreds of ghosts walking at night... It is said that Liangcheng's town official Zhan Chengfeng has gone to negotiate several times. He was beaten out and injured.”
The sloppy Taoist priest gloated: "Now it depends on whether the capital will send people to solve it, or whether the official You Tianguan who is out there will make a trip."
Hearing this, Lin Ji took a deep breath.
"Where are you going, Taoist Master? Are you going to pass through Tongtian Town?"
"I'm going to Liangcheng to slay demons. People from all the sects in the world are rushing to Liangcheng. We can't afford to offend the ghost king, but we can still withstand the formation of hundreds of ghosts walking at night."
The sloppy Taoist priest said: "It's not good to watch a ghost harm people. Although there is a reason for this, it is not right to blame innocent people after the death of your son."
"What a great ambition, I admire you." Lin Ji gave a thumbs up, then turned around and walked in the direction he came from.
"Huh? Where are you going, brother?"
"I have official duties, and it's difficult to take the official road, so I have to take a detour and take a side road." Lin Ji handed over his hand and said, "Goodbye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ji went back the same way he came, faced the surprised looks of the officers and soldiers as he exited Tongtian Town, and then plunged into the dense forest next to him.
He must have made up his mind to take a detour of five hundred miles and never get close to Liangcheng.
"I said that the ghost general's thunder is loud but the raindrops are small. The scope of the ghost domain is so wide, but his strength is so unbearable... He has been forcibly raised to a state after being in trouble for a long time, and his foundation is unstable."
Thinking of this, Lin Ji smiled bitterly.
"If you're not good at studying, don't hang around. It's really troublesome."
In fact, Lin Ji can also bet that the Ghost King still doesn't know who the murderer of his son is.
But Lin Ji didn't dare.
Only ghosts know what weird tricks ghosts have.
What a great deal of fun it would be if the Ghost King discovered that he was his son's murderer after he got close to Liang Cheng.
...
Liangcheng, government office.
Zhan Chengfeng sat in the main seat with a serious look on his face.
"Now the three You Tianguan masters are entangled in important matters and cannot come to help. There are also other important matters in the capital, and they cannot act rashly... The current situation in Liangcheng was caused by you. Please give me an explanation."
Wu Fei led a group of demon hunters and stood in the hall, sweating profusely.
At this moment, Wu Fei wanted to give himself two big mouths.
After leaving the city to explore that day, when he came back, Lin Ji took most of the credit for killing the ghost general.
When reporting to Zhan Chengfeng, it was said that Wu Fei took action and Lin Ji helped kill the ghost general.
But who would have thought that a ghost general would have such a profound background.
Nowadays, the huge Liangcheng is fine during the day, but at night, it is besieged by thousands of ghosts and cannot enter or exit.
In the wilderness outside the city, the night walk of hundreds of ghosts, which is rarely seen on weekdays, is now happening every night.
The people were frightened every night and complained every day.
"Sir, why don't you hand me over." Wu Fei gritted his teeth and said, "This matter happened because of me. At worst, I will pay for the son of the ghost king with my life."
"Fart!" Zhan Chengfeng stood up suddenly and scolded, "It is only natural and right for the Supervisor Tiansi to kill demons and eliminate demons! If I hand you over this time, how can I, the Supervisor Tiansi, lose my face? In this world, How can the demon still be frightened?"
Wu Fei quickly knelt down to admit his mistake, but felt relieved in his heart.
He didn't know this truth, but only after hearing it from Zhan Chengfeng's mouth did he feel reassured.
Zhan Chengfeng let out a long sigh and waved his hand: "That's all, I guess you can't come up with any ideas. Don't rest for the next few days. You can't control it outside the city. You must be careful inside the city and don't let ghosts disturb the people."
"As ordered." Many demon hunters replied.
"Okay, let's go down." Zhan Chengfeng waved his hand feebly.
After the demon hunters retreated, after a while, a Buddha chant suddenly sounded outside.
"Amitabha."
A monk came in.
This monk is very fat and always has a smile on his face. But when he smiles, his small eyes completely turn into slits, which looks quite funny.
But Zhan Chengfeng couldn't laugh. After saluting, he asked: "Master Xingchi, what do you think about this troublesome matter now?"
Master Xingchi smiled and said: "I think the ghost king of Liangcheng still has sense and has not harmed innocent people wantonly, so there is no need to panic."
"Why didn't I know this? What I'm worried about is that the ghost king has lost patience and allowed all the ghosts to attack the city."
Seeing that Master Xingchi didn't answer any questions, Zhan Chengfeng stopped talking and asked, "Master Xingchi came to see me. Why do you want me?"
"People say that they usually eat fast and chant Buddha's name, but now that ghosts are causing trouble, Daliang Temple is helpless, so..."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"The incense in Daliang Temple is not prosperous, and the poor monks come here to ask for alms."
Zhan Chengfeng almost spit out blood.
