The fairy is fierce

The autumn sun was shining brightly, and the earth was wrapped in a layer of golden clothes. Occasionally, a few birds flew over the mountains and fields, watching the team slowly passing by below and making a few cries.

The team was not large, with about 20 people, two middle-aged men who knew some magic, and the rest were ordinary people.

Two huge black bears wandered around the team, constantly trying to pounce on them, but were forced back by the monks.

Between the white clouds, Zuo Lingquan stood at the bow, watching the movement below, and frowned: "This place is at most a hundred miles away from Zhuoyan City. There are actually ferocious beasts on the official road. The public security is too poor."

Wu Qingwan stood side by side and sighed: "Ferocious beasts appear and disappear like ghosts. The demon hunting department of Dayan is hard to guard against, let alone this kind of place."

After seven days of sailing, the pleasure boat crossed more than 20,000 miles and arrived at Fuyu Country outside Dayan Pass.

Zhuoyan City is located in the center of Fuyu Country. It can sell its cast magic tools as far as Linyuan Port. Its power must be considerable.

Zuo Lingquan thought that the vicinity of such a large sect would be very peaceful, but he did not expect that he would encounter a ferocious beast harming the people as soon as he walked near it.

The distance was too far, and the scene on the ground was not very clear. Wu Qingwan squinted and observed for a moment, and said:

"It seems that those two cultivators cannot be defeated. How about we go down now?"

Zuo Lingquan was going to Zhuoyan City to investigate the news, and it was impossible for him to fly in swaggeringly. He nodded gently and pointed to a river on the ground:

"You and Jingxun follow from land and water, I will go down to see."

After speaking, Zuo Lingquan put on a bamboo hat, dressed like an ordinary Jianghu person, and jumped down from a height of ten thousand feet.

Zuo Lingquan was in the sixth level of Linggu, so Wu Qingwan naturally did not worry that he would fall to death. She returned to the cabin and landed the pleasure boat on the river with Tang Jingxun.

The chaos in the mountains and fields continued.

The two monks who served as guards were not very advanced. They looked like they were not at the tenth level of Qi Refining. They were unable to deal with two black bears that were almost as big as the carriage, and they were injured in a short while.

The team behind was already in chaos. Several women took their children out of the carriage and turned to flee.

There were seven children in the carriage, including a little girl of four or five years old, wearing a small floral skirt. It seemed that she was not accompanied by her parents. She was frightened by the chaos and ran down the carriage. Without anyone to take care of her, she ran directly to the hillside on the side in panic. No adults noticed this.

Tap, tap, tap

The little girl cried and ran about ten feet away. When she was about to go over the hill, she heard a loud noise in front of her, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Boom

The little girl shivered, her steps were unstable, and she rolled down the hillside directly. Before she landed, she was grabbed by the shoulders and lifted up.

The little girl waved her hands and feet in panic, and when she came to her senses, she had already fallen beside the carriage, crying loudly.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Zuo Lingquan carried the little girl to the carriage, turned around and drew his sword and rushed to the black bear; he had to hide his incompetence when he was out, so he did not show his immortal magical powers, but just raised his sword to help the two monks and help subdue the black bear.

The two monks had already wanted to retreat, and when they saw someone coming to help, they were overjoyed and had no time to speak, but just tried their best to subdue the black bear.

After a "hard fight", the two black bears were killed by Zuo Lingquan's sword one after another.

The older monk stood beside the black bear's corpse, his body covered in blood and panting. Only then did he have the chance to speak:

"I am Zhang Zhengye, thank you for your help."

Zuo Lingquan put away his sword and bowed:

"You are welcome, it's just a small favor. I am Tang Tiejin, this is my first time in Zhuoyan City, I am not familiar with this place, may I ask how far Zhuoyan City is?"

Zhuoyan City is famous for its weapon refining, and monks often come here to find someone to refine weapons. Zhang Zhengye is not surprised by this, and said warmly:

"Go straight along this road, and you will arrive in another hundred miles."

While he was talking, the people also turned back, holding their children to express their gratitude to Zuo Lingquan:

"Thank you for your help..."

"You have to call me Immortal Master."

"Thank you, Immortal Master..."

...

Zuo Lingquan politely declined, looked around for a few seconds, and asked with some confusion:

"Where are these people going?"

Zhang Zhengye turned around and waved his hand, indicating that the team should continue to move forward, and explained:

"The cultivation seedlings searched outside are taken to Zhuoyan City for selection by the masters to see if they have the great fortune to enter the door of cultivation.

Zuo Lingquan suddenly realized that Qihuang Valley would also regularly bring children in to touch bones and read faces. He was one of the "leftovers" back then. He had never experienced it and really didn't think of it.

Zuo Lingquan looked back at the crying little girl in the carriage and asked again:

"Why is that girl not accompanied by an adult?"

"My family is a farmer. It was harvest time, so my parents didn't come with me."

After Zhang Zhengye explained casually, he looked at Zuo Lingquan again: "Daoyou, are you here to find someone to refine weapons? ”

Zuo Lingquan came down to help for the purpose of gathering information. He nodded and said:

"Yes, I want to refine a magical instrument that can suppress ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. Does Fellow Daoist Zhang know the way?"

Zhang Zhengye was very familiar with Zhuoyan City, and said without hesitation:

"If you want to suppress ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, you must go to Leigong Mountain. Lei Hongliang, the master of Leigong Mountain, used to be a genuine inner sect of Tiandi City. In terms of instrument refining skills, there are not many people in the entire Zhuoyan City who are better than him. The apprentices he taught are not bad either. It is right to find them for objects such as suppressing ghosts and exorcising evil spirits. "

Zuo Lingquan nodded lightly: "Really? Then how can I find the master of Lei Mountain?"

Zhang Zhengye waved his hand, a little funny:

"He is the ancestor of Youhuang. He rarely sees visitors. It is not easy to find his direct apprentice to perform the operation. If you want to make a magic weapon, you have to go to the dental shop in the city. I will contact you on your behalf. If you specify someone to perform the operation, the price will be high. It’s cheap, even the weapon refiners don’t lack immortal money, it depends on whether they are in the mood..."

"Oh, I understand..."

While Zuo Lingquan was chatting, he followed the team and drifted away...——

Great Yanjing City, Princess Palace.

In the Tianji Palace, where the lights were on day and night, the palace maids in colorful clothes compiled the news from various places into a book and placed it on the large desk in the middle.

Jiang Yi sat upright at the desk, flipping through the thick files, and kept muttering:

"How much white jade baht should be rewarded for wiping out a martial artist at the third level of Linggu?"

"There is a suspected ink dragon eating people in the upper reaches of the Qingdu River. What level of case is this?"

"The governor of Yunzhou had an affair with a Taoist companion who lived as an elder in Yunfu Mountain. The government is not able to judge the sect and it is difficult to manage... What the hell kind of case is this?"

…

Leng Zhu, who was once again reduced to a pitiful palace maid, was ten times busier than in the Dadan Palace. He kept flipping through the rules and regulations of the Demon Hunting Law in front of him, looking for all the information Jiang Yi needed.

After Zuo Lingquan left, Jiang Yi came to the Dowager Palace and became Shangguan Lingye's assistant.

Jiang Yi originally thought that Shangguan Lingye was taking care of her, so he arranged a nominal errand for her so that she could practice in Canyang Pool.

The result was good. She studied for three days and understood the general process. Shangguan Lingye said: "I'm going out for a while, and you can help take care of it." Then he left the entire work of the Demon Hunting Department in her arms. .

Jiang Yi thought she was taking care of him for a while, and felt happy that Shangguan Lingye trusted her so much. However, four days later, Shangguan Lingye had no intention of coming back and directly became the shopkeeper.

Jiang Yi had served as the regent princess and was no stranger to the feeling of being in power, but she came to the palace to practice, not to take over from Guan Lingye.

But there was no money for bathing in other people's baths, and it was hard to turn down the job. Jiang Yi could only help out without complaint.

The work of the Monster Hunting Department is not heavy, but it is tedious. There can be no negligence. Rewards and punishments are fine, just follow the routine, but some of the weird things of the Immortal family that are not easy to make and have to be taken care of are really frustrating. The head is as big as a bucket.

For example, two small sects were too close to each other and had constant friction. One of them, who "loved the people like a son", improved the gunpowder used to make firecrackers in the secular world, made it several times more powerful, and taught it to the people to use it to dig out rocks.

This is naturally a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

But in order to repay their kindness, the people went undercover and blew up the gate of the enemy sect!

The shaking of the ground made the ancestors of the rival sect stunned.

It is difficult to judge whether the people are truly repaying their kindness or being instigated.

But it was indeed the first time for Jiang Yi to see an immortal being demolished by a mortal. The rival sect did not dare to fight back. In the territory under the jurisdiction of the Yan Dynasty, the immortal family fought on their own merits, and the court had no control over it. However, when immortals fight against mortals, according to Treated by secular laws, and the crime is aggravated, no matter what the reason or background of the immortal is, if he is dissatisfied and goes to Lord Linyuan to reason, the opponent's sect is so angry that he can only file a lawsuit with the Demon Detective Department.

How should Jiang Yi take care of this matter?

You, an immortal sect, had its gate demolished by mortals, how could you have the face to sue the officials?

There is also a random cultivator who suddenly had a whim. In order to obtain the blood of a dragon, he secretly raised a spiritual snake...

It’s hard to describe in one word.

After being caught by an upright monk, it was difficult to deal with him, so he reported it to the Demon Hunting Department and asked whether he should be treated as a demon.

Being designated as a demon is a serious crime of the Immortal Family. It has been passed down through three generations, which is equivalent to the nine implicated clans of the Immortal Family. The principal culprit has to be imprisoned in the Thunder Pond for eternity to be reincarnated, in order to frighten the Immortal Sect on the mountain, and they dare not make random decisions.

It is said that according to the treatment of monsters, they will not cause harm to living beings; as long as the transformed spiritual beasts act according to human rules, they will be treated as human beings. If they really want to become Taoist couples, that is the beautiful saying of "a fox repays a favor".

But if you don’t treat them as monsters and the spiritual beasts haven’t transformed, what you’re doing is not human affairs!

Jiang Yi felt haggard because of all these nonsense. Now she works during the day and sleeps in Canyang Pool at night. She no longer thinks about Zuo Lingquan in her dreams, but thinks about these mundane things that test human nature and reach the heart. , I don’t know how Shangguan Lingye managed to survive these eighty years.

…

The day's work is over.

After Jiang Yi read and stamped the last file, she leaned on the Taishi chair, rubbed her brows, and didn't want to speak for a long time.

Leng Zhu was also very tired. He leaned on the desk with his buttocks that could be broken, and said feebly:

"Princess, where has the concubine gone?"

"Experts are like dragons that never see the end. How do I know where I am? You can leave the errand to us because you trust us and don't ask questions."

"Oh... Mr. Zuo should have arrived at Burning Smoke City, right? I don't know what's going on now."

Jiang Yi calculated the time and found that it was indeed time. She raised her hand to touch the Qilin paperweight on the table and communicate with Zuo Lingquan.

But remembering the last time she raised her eyes and saw Tang Jingxuan sitting in Zuo Lingquan's arms making out, she felt angry, got up and walked towards the back of Tianji Hall:

"What are you looking at? Let them wander away. When I reach Linggu, I will leave Tang Jingxun at home as a caretaker."

"With Miss Tang's speed, by the time Princess Linggu arrives, she might become a jade-level immortal."

"..."

Jiang Yi's eyes turned sour.

Leng Zhu quickly stood up straight, looked serious, and changed his words:

"I'm just talking nonsense. The princess has good understanding and has such great perseverance. Sooner or later she will be able to catch up. God rewards hard work."

“Hmph…”
