Imperial Demon Slayer Division

In the early morning of the next month, the ten demon-slaying officers who led the demon-slaying envoys to wipe out the evil spirits came back.

And the large formation of the Demon Slaying Department of the state capital has also begun to be constructed.

Gu Yan stood by the window of the Zhennan Tower, looking at the busy people in the Gongwu Department and the idle demon-slayers and said

"Lin Wu, everything in the department will be left to you."

Lin Wu, who was standing behind Gu Yan, nodded slightly, walked slowly to the window, also looked at the scenery outside the window, and said lightly

"Do you need to send some people to follow you back?"

Gu Yan slowly shook his head and said

"Too many people is also a problem. My own words can just be empty."

Lin Wu saw this and no longer forced himself. Indeed, Gu Yan himself said that he could just fly back all the way. If he brought some demon-slaying envoys, he could only ride on a war horse. After all, he was not in the Tongxuan realm, so he couldn't bring such Many people fly in the air

"Okay, then be careful."

After Lin Wu finished speaking, he sat on the front seat and began to handle official business.

Gu Yan looked in the direction of the northern imperial capital, with a soft look in his eyes, and then his figure gradually faded and disappeared in front of the window.

......

After entering Zhongzhou, Gu Yan, who was flying high in the sky, suddenly noticed some evil energy coming from below, so he turned around and flew towards the location of the evil energy.

Zhongzhou South Region, Dawang Village, Jing'an County

Gu Yan was walking on the streets of the village, looking at the people coming and going with happy smiles on their faces, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

When the people around saw Gu Yan, an outsider, they also smiled warmly at him.

An old man with gray hair walked towards Gu Yan's direction tremblingly on crutches.

After arriving in front of Gu Yan, he cupped his fists and said

"I am the village chief of Dawang Village. From the looks of it, little brother, you must be a passing traveler, right?"

After seeing the old village chief, Gu Yan's eyes flashed with a strange light, he smiled and clasped his fists and replied

"The old village chief's guess is right, I am the traveler passing by."

After the old village chief saw that he had guessed correctly, a trace of satisfaction appeared on his face and he continued.

"My little brother must be exhausted from the long journey. We happen to have a tavern in the village where we can let him have a glass of wine, eat some food and take a rest."

After hearing the old village chief's words, Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with interest.

"Then I dare to ask the old village chief, where is this tavern? To be honest with the old village chief, I am really hungry after a long journey, and my stomach has already started growling."

The old village chief touched his beard and was about to speak when he suddenly coughed violently. His back, which was already carrying a lot of weight, seemed to be broken by coughing. He looked like a frail old man.

Gu Yan, on the other hand, stood aside with his hands behind his back and looked at him calmly.

After coughing for a while, the old village chief saw that Gu Yan had no intention of helping him, so he stopped coughing and said

"Little brother, I will take you to that pub."

Along the way, Gu Yan followed the old village chief and arrived in front of the tavern under the inexplicable gazes of the villagers.

After entering the tavern, the old village chief greeted the shopkeeper who was dozing at the door.

"Old Jia, we have a guest. This little brother has come from afar. You must entertain him well."

After hearing what the old village chief said, the shopkeeper who was dozing off suddenly stood up and looked at Gu Yan and said excitedly

"Oh, don't worry. Sir, please take a seat."

Gu Yan, who watched the exchange between the two of them, almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. In fact, he noticed something unusual about the village from the first moment he entered it.

All the people in the village have been dead for a long time and have been transformed into evil spirits. However, the evil spirits transformed by these people are different from other evil spirits.

These monsters still retained their habits in life, so Gu Yan planned to see what kind of drama these monsters could perform next.

After the shopkeeper took Gu Yan to his seat, he eagerly poured a cup of tea for Gu Yan, and then said enthusiastically

"Sir, please wait a moment. I will ask the chef to cook for you. Don't worry, the prices in this store are absolutely fair and we will never rip off customers."

Gu Yan looked at the shopkeeper's appearance and couldn't help but laugh and thought to himself

“I’m not good at business, I just asked for the food without even picking up the menu.”

But he still said with a smile on his face

"Then I'll bother the shopkeeper."

"No trouble, no trouble, it's all as it should be."

The shopkeeper said as he walked quickly to the kitchen.

Gu Yan looked away from him, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. When he saw the tea poured by the shopkeeper, a trace of disgust flashed in Gu Yan's eyes.

This was not tea, it was obviously swill, and there was a layer of fat white maggots floating in it. Gu Yan picked up the cup in disgust and poured it out the window.

What a coincidence. Gu Yan's casual splash happened to hit the face of a passing citizen.

The two looked at each other, and Gu Yan only felt a little embarrassed, but then he thought about it, these were all evil spirits, so there was no awkward feeling at all.

And the common man outside the window stretched out his hand to wipe his face. He smelled the smell of swill on his body, and a layer of black gas appeared on his body, and he was about to run away.

At this moment, suddenly a small beam of lightning shot out from the window, and the common man instantly vaporized and disappeared.

After about a stick of incense had passed, the shopkeeper took out plates of dishes from the kitchen and placed them on the table in front of Gu Yan.

"Sir, these are the signboards of the small store, please wait while they are hot."

Gu Yan glanced at the dishes on the table and his face changed slightly. It wasn't that he was afraid, it was just that he was disgusted.

In addition to fried flies and steamed mosquitoes, these dishes even include some maggot sashimi.

The shopkeeper saw Gu Yan not moving his chopsticks and asked in confusion

"Why don't you use your chopsticks, sir? Is it not to your liking? Should I ask the chef to change a few more dishes?"

Gu Yan sighed softly and said

"Where's the wine?"

After hearing Gu Yan's words, the shopkeeper suddenly slapped his head and said apologetically

"Sorry, sorry, look at my head, I forgot about this."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he went behind the counter to get the wine.

He thought that Gu Yan couldn't move his chopsticks because he didn't have any wine, but in fact, Gu Yan just couldn't move his chopsticks and wanted to drink a glass of wine to quench his thirst.

The shopkeeper brought the wine over, poured a glass for Gu Yan, and then retreated behind the counter, pretending to lower his head to settle accounts while secretly glancing at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan glanced at the wine in the glass, then picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.

Although this wine is bland, it can quench your thirst

While Gu Yan was drinking, all the demons transformed by the people in the village followed the old village chief to the outside of the tavern, surrounded the tavern, and looked at Gu Yan inside with greedy expressions.

The shopkeeper sitting behind the counter looked at Gu Yan drinking one cup after another, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

Gu Yan picked up the empty cup, looked at it casually in front of his eyes, and said lightly

"What? Are you curious? Why haven't I fallen down yet?"

The shopkeeper didn't know that his every move had always been shrouded by Gu Yan's consciousness, including the secret poisoning just now.
