The early morning sunlight shines slantingly, bright but not dazzling.
The dilapidated and almost collapsed ancient temple hall was covered with a layer of faint glow, but many corners were not illuminated and became increasingly dim.
The old and solemn city god and the heroic young man stood opposite each other, with lights and shadows on their bodies, each with its own light and dark changes.
Qi Jingzhi looked at Yu Zhongnan with a solemn expression. He was stunned and for the first time he truly realized the change in his identity.
In the past, when he was out and about, he would only think of the Demon Suppressing Academy's policeman's badge when he needed to pull off a tiger skin to make a banner. The rest of the time, he would never think of himself in that capacity. Except for An Fenghou, who had ulterior motives, he rarely Some people would treat a mere police officer as a dish.
Therefore, Qi Jingzhi didn't think much about it when he just took out the card of Gouchen Yuan. However, judging from the attitude shown by Yu Laochenghuang at this time, it was clear that it was a serious business transaction between the two yamen.
Qi Jingzhi knew in his heart that the person he was respecting was not the little hunter from Songling County in the past, but the majestic captain of Qi Gouchen Yuan now.
This feeling is very strange, as if I have grown up a lot in an instant, and I have truly established a family as my grandpa expected.
Qi Jingzhi thought for a while and then replied: "This junior is returning to my hometown for private matters. I just need to use the underworld channels to send a few letters. There are both official and private matters, but it has nothing to do with Songling County."
After hearing what he said, both Yu Old City God and the other ghosts and gods standing below were obviously a little more relaxed.
Meng Hui laughed even more: "It's better if you didn't come here to seek bad luck for our uncle! Just now we thought that Gouchenyuan was not satisfied with having a holy Jiangjun Hou Liwei, and was eyeing the Chenghuang Yinsi clan! "
This was naturally a joke. Master Meng had always been upright and observant of etiquette, but he liked to make humorous remarks in front of the old city god. Qi Jingzhi had already learned this.
His mind was spinning, but he understood the meaning of reminder and protection from these two jokes: "Just look at the solemn attitude of the old city god, and the words of praise and goodwill from the chief of the Express Reporting Department just now... these The ghosts and spirits of the Yin Division seem to be quite afraid of Gouchen Courtyard."
Qi Jingzhi turned his eyes and met Master Meng's profound gaze. He immediately bowed and explained with a smile: "Master is joking. The Ding family of Anfenghou committed a serious crime and was killed by the Chief Sima of our courtyard. Mr. Langya caught Xing Xing on the spot, in full view of everyone, and with overwhelming evidence, there was no way he was innocent at all."
"Gouchenyuan has the responsibility of defeating thieves and putting an end to the rebellion. Taking down Anfenghou is just fulfilling one's duties, but it is impossible to talk about establishing prestige. What's more, Lord Langya is also a descendant of the Holy Ginger Miao, with a rich and beautiful belly. My favorite poems are those that are by no means cruel and brutal.”
"My lord has always been clear-minded and impartial in his judgment. This can be seen from the handling of tiger spirits and demons. How can I come to seek bad luck for you?"
Qi Jingzhi paused, and regardless of whether the ghosts and gods in front of him believed it or not, he changed the subject and said, "A month ago, I wrote a reply to the Master at the Chenghuang Temple in Jiuzhen County, Liaozhou. I wonder if I received it?"
"A month ago?"
Meng Hui thought for a while and then shook his head and said: "I heard that not only did Anfeng Hou cause trouble, but there was also a lot of mistakes in the Jiuzhen County Huangyin Division. Afterwards, all the ghosts and gods in the county were locked up and questioned. I'm afraid because of this delayed."
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. This was something that even he didn't know about. When Ding Chengli used gold tiles to cover the whole city, even the underworld was blocked. The county god and other ghosts and gods of the underworld never showed up from the beginning to the end. Even after Lord Langya set things right, there was no movement at all. It's hard to say what's going on. There is something hidden.
He immediately recounted the strange situation of the County God's Yin Division before and after the Jiuzhen Incident. Although it was only a few words and not detailed, all the ghosts and gods all changed their expressions, and they were quite sad.
Yu Zhongnan looked gloomy and was about to ask a few more questions. Suddenly he turned around and looked up at the rising red sun in the east.
Qi Jingzhi turned his head earlier than the old city god. He saw something flying towards him quickly against the red sunlight, and it only took a few breaths to reach him.
There was just a bang, and the thing hit the door frame of the hall, and then bounced high, causing sawdust and dust to fall.
The old mandrill suddenly appeared at the door of the palace, wearing a bandana on his head. One large and one small looked out in confusion or curiosity.
Many eyes gathered and saw a strange red fish floating in front of the main hall. It was plump and round, and its palm-sized body seemed to be made of sunlight and flames. It was radiant and dazzling.
The fat red-fire fish shook its head a few times, recovering from the dizziness after the impact.
When it saw Ban Ban, it immediately lowered its height and said happily: "Sure enough, a Qilin has come to the world!"
"My name is Li Guangye, and I am Lingtai Lang from the Huntian Supervision Department of the Demon Suppressing Academy. I am currently in the Linde Pavilion in Huaide County. You little guy, hurry up and get ready. I will immediately gather some people to come over. Ling County, I’ll take you to the capital!”
"So good!" the little guy responded, his tone was a bit unkind, and he was obviously a little bit tempered.
"What? You don't want to go? It's not up to you! Qilin is a kingly and benevolent beast. Although Qi is a big country, only the king's garden can accommodate you!"
This time, without waiting for a general reply, the red-flamed fat fish who called himself Li Guangye raised his head and laughed: "What a pity! I was sent to such a remote place by the old man. I stare at the eyes during the day and count the stars at night. I don't want to do it." With such a big credit on his head, let’s see who dares not to let me go back!”
"Haha, God's will favors me, my luck is booming, my time is indeed going to turn around, I will teach those guys how to lose their pants when I go back this time!"
After Li Guangye said this, he suddenly came closer and kissed the little guy's white and tender cheek. Anyone could see the happiness in his heart.
"just so so!"
The newly born Lord of Linshan was furious and immediately waved a small moon-white claw and slapped Li Guangye hard on his fat face.
"Ouch!"
The chubby and plump Li Guangye screamed and rolled backwards involuntarily.
It rolled past Qi Jingzhi with a grunt. In the lightning flash, the eyes of each fish and the other were intertwined, and they were all a little stunned.
The next moment, the red-fire fat fish screamed strangely and jumped into the air with a swish.
It seemed that it was only at this moment that it finally noticed the ghosts and gods and Qi Jingzhi, and its already red body became even more red: "Oh, I was not paying attention for a moment, I seem to be embarrassed again."
This red-fire fat fish stared at a pair of round dead fish eyes, looked around, and finally looked at Yu Zhongnan. Between the opening and closing of the fish's lips, one word was clearly distinguishable: "But Uncle Xianyou here." In person?"
"I am the Lord of Songling County, Yu Zhongnan."
Yu Laochenghuang looked up at Li Guangye, with a look of surprise on his face: "Huaide County is in a remote place on the side of Linshan Mountain, and Songling County is a place with little information. Yu is so ignorant that he doesn't know about Linde Pavilion." There is a Lingtai Lang from the Li family sitting here, which is really disrespectful."
Hearing the words, Red Fire Fat Fish immediately coughed lightly: "Uncle, you're welcome, little... Li is highly expected by his teacher. He works hard day and night in Linde Pavilion. He doesn't dare to slack off and never interacts with outsiders. Transportation. It’s not surprising that my uncle has never heard of me.”
These few words alone don't sound like much, but when compared with his previous words, they seem a bit shameless.
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but smile when he heard it.
He raised his head and watched intently. When he saw that Li Guangye was in Linde Pavilion, he could control such a fish body to fly in the air and come and go freely. He couldn't help but feel curious in his heart: "Listen to what the old man said, this Li He seems to be very extraordinary among the Lingtai Lang of Huntiansi..."
The red-fire fat fish was in mid-air. He felt a little guilty after uttering the previous words. Now he saw the smile on the young man's face and immediately became angry: "You are a bird with a pair of bird's eyes staring straight at me. What are you smiling about?"
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi curled up his lips and his smile became brighter.
"I have also heard about the Lingtai Lang of the Huntian Division of the Demon-Suppressing Academy. It is said that he spends his days eating and drinking on the high attic terrace. All of them are meticulous people with mysophobia..."
Qi Jingzhi turned to look at Yu Zhongnan and asked in a louder voice: "Sir, this person is walking around the market with such an ugly and fat appearance. He is not ashamed but proud of it. I'm afraid he is not a fake pretending to be Ling Tailang." Goods, right?"
Hearing this, Yu Zhongnan also had a smile on his face: "Qi Yingwei, be careful! The Li family with the surname Ji is of noble blood, and possesses the holy blood of the Jiang and Ji clans. No one can impersonate it."
