While the two were talking, hundreds of Yin soldiers and Yin generals surrounded the six fox demons. Their swords, guns and sticks were all exuding a strong evil aura and murderous intent.
The evil clouds swept across, and it was as dark as ink.
The eyes of the fox demons were full of fear, as if they had encountered a catastrophe, full of despair.
"Don't resist, the sword has no eyes, you may lose your life!"
The young man in Confucian shirt leisurely drove the gourd magical weapon and looked at the fox demon in front of him with a playful expression:
"You just surrender and go to the streets with me to plead guilty. I will spare your lives."
"We practice our duties and have not violated the laws of the king and ghosts. What crime do we have to admit? Don't frame us out of thin air!"
Among the six fox demons, Yun Niang stands out.
Her face was full of dissatisfaction, and her originally soft and pleasant voice became urgent and angry.
The young man in Confucian shirt was indifferent and said disdainfully:
"Before they were captured, all the monsters claimed that they were innocent and had never harmed anyone. Please stop resisting and cooperate with me to parade around and plead guilty. I can consider letting you live in the future."
After saying that, the young man in Confucian shirt sneered, filled with murderous intent.
"Otherwise, we will kill you on the spot and then take your bodies to parade in the Ximu Township market."
As soon as these words came out, Yun Niang and the fox demon around her were all frightened.
The young man in Confucian shirt did not hesitate and waved his hand:
"Take it. If you dare to resist, you will be killed on the spot!"
After saying this, murderous ghost soldiers and ghosts surrounded him.
The fox demons knew that there was a huge disparity in strength, and resistance would only lead to death, and they all screamed in frustration.
The young man in Confucian shirt was quite satisfied and in a good mood, and waved his folding fan:
"You are sensible, don't worry, as long as you plead guilty and march, I will not kill you. It will be an opportunity for you to follow me in the future and redeem your merits."
When the middle-aged man on the side saw this, he immediately vaguely guessed his young master's intention.
He clearly wanted to subdue the six-headed fox demon to serve him around.
However, the middle-aged man did not stop him. He subdued the fox demon and dragged it to the street for a parade, which would be more conducive to promoting a good name.
"Two fellow Taoists, please stay!"
Just as the two were preparing to escort the fox demon to the busiest market in Guangyuan Township, a man wearing official robes suddenly emerged from the soft soil in the forest.
It is the God of the land here.
When the young man in Confucian shirt saw the earth god, he did not see the awe that ghosts and gods should have at all. Instead, he was quite disdainful, even a little angry, and scolded:
"You didn't see my master's magic talisman and you dared to break in without permission. How brave you are!"
The land god of Ximu looked embarrassed and hesitated: "This noble man, the little god is also acting under orders, please forgive me..."
The young man in Confucian shirt frowned:
"Whose order are you on?"
Just as Ximu Earth God was about to say something, a calm and majestic voice came from the horizon.
"He is under the orders of Pontus!"
While he was talking, a cloud flew from the horizon, approaching from far away, and soon appeared in front of everyone.
It was Chu Chen, Yunlin City God and his entourage.
When the young man in Confucian shirt heard the word "Du Guan", a strange look flashed across his face, and then a kind smile appeared on his face.
"It turns out that he is the governor of Yunlin Yama Luo Chu. I have admired his name for a long time, but I am disrespectful and disrespectful!"
The two of them clasped their fists and saluted, very politely.
Chu Chen had no intention of chatting with the other party, and his eyes fell on the fox demon escorted by the Yin soldiers and ghost generals.
This group of fox demons were in quite a sorry state, with some blood stains on their snow-white hair. They were all more or less injured, but they were not fatal.
The fox demons also looked at Chu Chen.
At first, when they heard that someone was coming, they had no idea. But when they heard that it was Chu Chen, the governor of Yunlin, they all became quite excited, and a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts.
Especially Yun Niang, she was quite excited.
Others didn't know it, but she guessed that because she came so timely, Zhou Lang must have gone to find Chu Duguan.
"Don't worry, we were wronged~ We practice honestly and have not broken any laws. We are wronged. Please make the decision for us!"
A group of fox demons uttered human words one after another.
A person's life is like a tree's shadow.
These days, as "Cloud Mist Ghost Market" has spread throughout Yunlin, Chu Chen has become famous both in the human world and in the world of immortality.
"Which family are you from and what's going on?"
Chu Chen asked, pointing at the fox demon who was complaining about injustice.
The young man in Confucian shirt felt his hot face against his cold buttocks, and he felt quite unhappy. However, in someone else's territory, he couldn't easily get angry. He forced out a smile and said:
"My surname is Gu, Gu Aoyu, and I come from the Gu family in Qingyang. This time I went out for training and met a fox demon on the way here, so I took action to subdue the demon. Unexpectedly, I alerted the Chu Du Guan."
Chu Chen frowned.
Honorable descendants of aristocratic families!
He had heard about the Qingyang Gu family, the hereditary Qingyang Marquis, Dachang Xungui, one of the powerful men in Qingzhou for generations, and had considerable influence both in Qingzhou and in the court.
"It turns out it's Mr. Gu. It's a good thing that you have the intention to conquer demons and eliminate demons. However, you have to follow the rules in everything. Come to Yunlin to conquer demons and eliminate demons. How come you know that you will meet with the Ghost and God Department of our county? You said, Yes or no?"
Gu Aoyu disagreed.
I just caught you, and I didn’t even need to ask you.
On normal days, he would definitely not care about Zhengqipin County.
However, at this moment he had to force a smile and nodded:
"Yes, yes, what Chu Du Guan said is absolutely true. This time it is indeed my master Meng Lang."
Seeing that the other party had given in, Chu Chen continued to ask:
"What happened to these fox monsters? What crime did they commit?"
Gu Aoyu smiled and explained:
"These fox demons wanted to hurt people, so I surrendered them easily."
"Guan Chu, I'm wronged. We practice our duties and have never hurt anyone."
When the fox demon Yun Niang saw this, she cried out for injustice.
Chu Chen frowned slightly:
"Mr. Gu, have you seen them hurt people with your own eyes?"
Gu Aoyu: "No, but I heard that there is a fox demon nearby who is extremely cunning and does not harm the local people, but specifically attacks passing caravans and passers-by. That's why I acted righteously and subdued the demon."
The fox demon Yun Niang was dissatisfied: "Guan Chu, don't listen to his nonsense. We have never attacked the caravan travelers at all. He is spitting blood!"
Chu Chen remained calm and asked:
"Mr. Gu, they said they didn't hurt anyone. Our county's Ghost and God Department has never received any similar reports. I wonder where you heard the news. Is there any witness?"
"this..."
Gu Aoyu's face froze, he didn't have any witnesses, he just said casually.
"Guan Chu, I also accidentally heard from a businessman from out of town that he would be able to recruit witnesses somewhere soon."
"However, those who are not from my race must have different minds. Each of these fox monsters has high-quality cultivation. They are wandering around the cloud forest and living among the people. They must have bad intentions. They are extremely cunning and full of evil. Take them back and interrogate them. , everything came to light.”
As soon as Chu Chen heard this, he knew everything in his heart.
This noble young man is obviously a stick, doing whatever he wants.
Monsters are the beasts in the mountains that have become spirits. As long as the spirit of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers still exists, they will continue to breed monsters and water spirits. If you kill monsters when you encounter them, you will not be able to kill them completely. They are like weeds that grow again in the spring breeze.
This kind of subjugation and elimination of demons does not save the world and save people, but brings disaster to one party and causes great harm to others.
Some monsters are clearly practicing their duties in the mountains, and they wantonly subjugate and eliminate demons, which undoubtedly intensifies conflicts and leaves great hidden dangers.
You subdue the demon and leave, but the contradiction remains. In the end, it is the people of Yunlin who are unlucky.
Of course, Chu Chen did not jump to conclusions.
"Mr. Gu, there is no need to interrogate. I have a method to tell whether they are harmful or not."
Gu Aoyu pretended to be happy and said:
"Oh~ I wonder what the method is?"
"I have a spiritual sword that can distinguish the good and evil deeds of monsters. If the monsters hurt people, the divine sword will kill them. If they really haven't hurt anyone, the divine sword will not kill them."
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he looked at the fox demon and asked:
"Do you dare to take the sword?"
"Chu Du Guan, we dare, we have never hurt anyone, why don't we dare!"
A group of fox demons spoke one after another, full of confidence.
When Chu Chen heard this, he ignored Gu Aoyu, his magic power was running in his body, and he was making sword moves with his hands.
A golden divine sword flew out instantly.
"call out!"
[Spirit Sword Son] flew in front of the fox demon Yun Niang in an instant. The sword suddenly stopped and flew around in a circle, making a "pleasant" sword sound.
The spirit sword trembled, which indicated that the fox demon Yun Niang not only did not hurt anyone, but also accumulated a lot of humane deeds and did many good deeds in her daily life.
Immediately afterwards, [Spirit Sword Son] flew towards the other five fox demons.
The divine sword still did not kill.
With a "whoosh" sound, [Spirit Sword] flew back into Chu Chen's body.
Seeing this scene, Chu Chen knew what was going on.
"Mr. Gu, you arrested the wrong person. They didn't hurt anyone. Let them go!"
The fox demons were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all nodded to Chu Chen to express their thanks:
"Du Guan is wise! Thank you Du Guan for clearing away our unfair grievances."
The fox demons were happy, but Gu Aoyu and the middle-aged man on the other side looked extremely ugly.
You... your cover-up is too obvious.
You don't act like this in the troupe.
Whether you control the flying sword to kill or not is not a matter of your thoughts. You are fooling the devil!
Gu Aoyu was furious:
"Chu Du Guan, you are harboring monsters!"
Chu Chen was not afraid at all. No matter what noble family you are, I have the final say on my territory.
"This is the director of the Yunlin Ghosts and Gods Division. I am responsible for all the affairs of demons, demons and gods. If they really break the law, the governor will catch them personally. However, at the moment, they really did not hurt anyone, so they cannot be arbitrarily accused. .”
Gu Aoyu wanted to say something, but the middle-aged man beside him pulled him and spoke with his spiritual consciousness:
"Young Master, the overall situation is more important. It is not appropriate to be at odds with the local governor."
"That's fine!"
Gu Aoyu suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and forced a smile:
"Since Chu Du Guan is talking about this, I have nothing to say. Put down the fox demon and let's go."
After saying that, the noble prince roared away with a cold face, leading a group of soldiers and horses, leaving behind Chu Chen, Yunlin City God and a group of fox monsters.
"Thank you Chu Duguan for saving my life!"
The six fox demons stood in a row, one by one, bowing to Chu Chen.
"No need to be polite. This is just a catastrophe on the way to practice. I hope all Taoist friends will not take it to heart and practice sincerely. You will achieve success in the future."
Chu Chen was quite polite.
Zhou Zijing was not lying. These fox demons were indeed serious foxes cultivating immortality.
Since he is a fox cultivating immortality, he is a Taoist friend.
When the Yunlin City God on the side saw this, he sighed, a little worried in his heart, and said through his spiritual consciousness:
"No matter what, you may get into trouble now. The other party is from the Qingyang Marquis Mansion after all..."
