Lin Ji stayed in Qingyang County for two days.
I drank some wine with Lu Cong and a group of old guys from the Yamen and talked about the past.
But there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.
Everyone knew that Lin Ji had been promoted and was going to work in the capital, and they all wished Lin Ji a bright future.
On the seventh day of July, Lin Ji was preparing to leave Qingyang County.
Only Lu Cong came to deliver it.
"Boss, I actually don't want you to go to the capital..." Lu Cong said when they parted.
"What? Are you jealous when you see me Gao Sheng?" Lin Ji teased casually, glancing at the broadsword on Lu Cong's waist.
It was the demon-slaying sword that he bought from Master Tiyun for a few hundred taels. The last time he left Liangcheng, he gave this sword to Lu Cong.
"I feel more comfortable in Qingyang County, and you are also comfortable, boss. I am running errands under you and don't have to think about anything. I am also comfortable."
A rare complexion appeared on Lu Cong's face, and he said: "Since I became the boss, I have realized that promotion is not a good thing. Some people pursue this, but I am different, and you should be different too, boss."
Hearing this, Lin Ji gently patted Lu Cong on the shoulder.
"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. After so many years, you shouldn't be short of money anymore, right?"
"If I don't do this, there will be no arrests in Qingyang County."
"The higher-ups will always let others come. It's the same if everyone is missing in this world. Don't take yourself too seriously. You are like this, and so am I."
Lu Cong nodded and grinned again.
"Speaking of which, last month I met an old man who said he wanted to take me on as his apprentice."
"Oh?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and asked, "What old man?"
"Just the old man, the old man with the white beard."
Lu Cong stretched out his hand and gestured. He was probably a head taller than him.
His gestures didn't look very smart. Lin Ji suppressed his laughter and asked, "Is that old man good?"
"Awesome, I can't beat him." Lu Cong touched the back of his head, "He also said that if I follow him, my broken arm can be regenerated and it will be more useful than before."
"Then why don't you go?"
"I just...have never left Qingyang County. When I go out, my eyes will darken." Lu Cong smiled naively.
Lin Ji estimated that the old man was probably a passing monk who took a fancy to Lu Cong's talent.
To be honest, Lu Cong broke through from the first level to the third level in half a year. This talent is indeed good.
Lin Ji didn't have enough eyesight in the past and delayed this guy.
After thinking about it, Lin Ji added: "The third realm is no longer weak. You are still young now. It is a good thing to go out and see more. It is even better to regenerate your arm."
"Boss, do you want me to leave too?"
"I just suggest that you do whatever you want. Didn't you say that the world will turn around without anyone else? You are not as important to Qingyang County as you think."
Having said this, Lin Ji patted Lu Cong's shoulder heavily again, then turned and left.
"I don't know when we will meet next time, so take care."
Lu Cong nodded and grinned.
"Boss, take care."
...
After leaving Qingyang County, Lin Ji suddenly accelerated his pace.
That night, he came to Liangcheng, the capital city of Liangzhou.
He had been the chief arrester in Liangcheng for only half a year, so he was recognized by the guards at the city gate before he entered the city.
Then he was taken all the way to the government office.
Sitting in the pavilion in the back garden of Liangcheng Mansion, Lin Ji was quite speechless.
He originally wanted to go to the capital quietly, but unexpectedly he passed through three states along the way and had to meet with three town officials.
Just when he was helpless, Liangcheng City official Zhan Chengfeng appeared.
He sat down opposite Lin Ji and raised his hand to point to the sky.
Lin Ji was a little dazed when he saw this scene. He looked in the direction pointed by Zhan Chengfeng and realized that it was the direction of Daliang Temple.
"I heard that Xing Chi died?" Zhan Chengfeng asked.
Lin Ji didn't expect him to talk about it, but he nodded anyway.
"After the incident in the capital was over, he was reincarnated."
"Death is death. There is no such thing as reincarnation." Zhan Chengfeng shook his head impatiently.
"Although I was not involved in the matter, I have inquired a lot about it... I have a close relationship with Xing Chi, and I never imagined that he would end up like this."
"Time is also destiny." Lin Ji sighed softly.
It’s okay not to mention it.
When Zhan Chengfeng mentioned Xing Chi, Lin Ji remembered the monk who had given him the magic pestle, beheaded the evil Taoist priests, and accepted Hu Nu as his disciple.
Although he is often out of shape, he is not afraid of meat, wine and meat.
But Lin Ji was willing to call him an eminent monk and a master of Xingchi.
Even compared to the monks Lin Ji had seen in the past six months, he felt that Xing Chicai was more like a Buddhist monk.
Xing Chi is so useless.
Zhan Chengfeng asked his servants to bring wine.
He poured himself a glass, and then poured a glass for Lin Ji himself.
Then, he poured the drink into the puddle on the side.
Seeing this, Lin Ji did the same.
"There was a carp in this pool who had a spiritual connection." Zhan Chengfeng sighed.
"Can this small pool also raise monsters?" Lin Ji was also a little surprised and asked curiously, "What about the fish?"
"Xing Chi and I split it and ate it, half steamed and half braised."
"This..." Lin Ji was speechless.
What a pity for a koi!
Zhan Chengfeng poured another glass of wine, and also poured it for Lin Ji, and the two clinked glasses.
"Now you are almost at the sixth level. It has been more than a year. I still remember your trembling look when you came to Liangcheng."
"Sir, please stop laughing at me."
Lin Ji drank all the wine in the glass.
Zhan Chengfeng stood up, raised his hands to Lin Ji, and said, "When you go to the capital this time, you have to be more careful when doing things. The people there are complicated. Don't do things that you shouldn't do. Do as little as possible and make fewer mistakes."
Lin Ji responded.
"I won't keep you here anymore. Your house is still there. Do you want to go back and take a look?"
Without waiting for Lin Ji's answer, Zhan Chengfeng paused again and said, "By the way, you also have a spirit in that house. Take that little thing away quickly."
Hearing this, Lin Ji slapped his forehead.
He had almost forgotten that he had a spirit. If Zhan Chengfeng didn't mention it, he might just leave Liangcheng tonight and leave at night.
"Master Zhan, did that spirit cause trouble?"
"That's not true, and I don't know how you explained it. That little thing is very well-behaved." Zhan Chengfeng smiled and said, "But how precious the grass and trees are, you will know when you go back to the garden of your own house. "
"While you were away, there were quite a few people who wanted to take advantage of that little thing."
Lin Ji laughed dumbly and bowed to salute.
"I'll take it away now, Sir. I'm sorry for your concern, Lord Zhan."
"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
After saying goodbye to Zhan Chengfeng, Lin Ji quietly returned to the Lin Mansion in Liangcheng under the cover of night.
Without alerting anyone, he landed directly in the yard.
Then he discovered that the flowers and plants in the yard were vaguely leaking spiritual energy. Although they were not spiritual plants, it was no lie that ordinary people would live longer after staying in this environment for a long time.
"The grass and tree spirits still have this ability? They look pretty good!"
