Chapter 196 Two or Three Things in the Demon Suppression Division

Qinghe County.

Demon Suppression Division.

In an ordinary small wooden building, the spirituality of the magic circle is rippling. Inside the magic circle, there are wooden platforms with oil lamps on them, shining with faint light. The light of dozens of oil lamps gathers together, like stars.

Yiya!

The door is open!

A ray of light shines in from the gap behind the door, and with another yiya sound, it disappears in an instant and ceases to exist.

The man only opened the door a gap that allows his body to enter and exit. After entering, he quickly turned around and closed the door.

Tap tap tap...

The sound of thin-soled boots stepping on the bluestone floor gradually sounded in the house.

After a while, the man came to the wooden platform. The dim light of the oil lamp reflected his wrinkled old face, which was extremely terrifying.

Most of the lamp patrollers in the Demon Suppression Division are old.

There are divine martial arts masters and earthly immortals.

They are all people with short life spans. The reason for this is very simple. The magic circle arranged in the place where the Soul Lantern is stored by the Demon Suppression Department seals a strange creature, which emits a strange breath every moment.

Pollution?

Erosion?

No!

This breath will not cause similar harm to the human body.

It has only one side effect, which is to outline the life span. Once a living being is contaminated by this breath, the life span will disappear. To be precise, it is not disappearing, but being swallowed by the strange creature in the magic circle. Only in this way can the strange creature maintain the operation of the magic circle.

This is the contract it signed with the Demon Suppression Department.

The lamp patroller is actually equivalent to food, offering his own life span to the feeder of the strange creature in the magic circle. Basically, he will not stay here for long before his life span is consumed.

Therefore, the lamp patrollers choose some old people who are running out of time, who are no longer useful to the Demon Suppression Department, or officials who have violated the law and have been punished. Their succession has maintained the operation of the magic circle.

The lamp patroller in front of him seems to be the same.

He is as old as a rotten wood.

"Huh?"

After walking half a circle around the wooden platform, the lantern patrolman stopped and looked at the center of the wooden platform, where there was an extinguished soul lantern.

When a person dies, the lantern goes out!

Every real person in the Demon Suppression Department of Qinghe County, not only the Earthly Evils, but also the Heavenly Gangs, whether they are from the Town Guard or the Qingmu Corps, has left a soul lantern here. If they die, the soul lantern will go out.

For this lantern array, martial artists are not qualified to leave soul lanterns.

The level of the Dharma Real Lord is already able to control their own destiny, and the soul lanterns originally left will be taken away by them.

The lantern is extinguished, which means the person is dead!

The lantern patrolman did not feel much about this.

In recent times, Qinghe County has seen frequent strange changes, and at least one-third of them will produce strange domains, mostly from the crazy people of the Huangquan Secret Sect. In the past half month, several lanterns have been extinguished, and one more is not too much.

He took a closer look...

He remembered that this lamp was new. He personally sent this lamp to the lamp hall more than ten days ago. This meant that this person was a newly promoted Disha Zhenren, who died not long after becoming a Zhenren.

What bad luck!

He looked at the name on the soul lamp again.

Feng Ziqing!

The son of the fourth-rank family Feng.

The lamp patrolman took out the extinguished lamp with a sneer on his lips.

When he sneered, the old and withered aura on his body suddenly subsided, and a strong vitality flashed by.

This vitality was so strong that it actually made the weirdness in the magic circle shrink into a ball, and it didn't dare to absorb the life span of this lamp patrolman.

Tian Gang!

Only after practicing Gang and using the outer Gang Qi of the sky to wash away the yin and weirdness of Disha can such a strong vitality burst out.

This one?

It seems to be Tian Gang!

The vitality flashed by, and in a flash, the lamp patrolman turned into a rotten wood again.

His face was full of wrinkles, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked withered and decayed...

He muttered.

Failed!

To be on the safe side, Feng Ziqing was sent out, but he still failed. Could it be that Shangyang Tower valued that boy very much, and Chixia Zhenren made a move in secret?

Riding on the divine eagle, he could indeed reach the target in an instant!

What's next?

The lantern patrol frowned and shook his head.

Then, he bent over and carried the extinguished soul lantern of Feng Ziqing on his back, and walked out with a tapping sound of footsteps.

…

The yamen of the commander of the Qinghe County Demon Suppression Division.

The commander Fang Haonan sat behind the desk, on which were three piles of case files, piled up like three small mountains.

He read through the files almost at a glance, signing his name from time to time.

Tiangang Zhenren like him, even if he works in the government, mostly get rid of the paperwork, and have many masters to handle affairs for him. Only those very important files and documents will be handled by himself.

At the realm of Tiangang Zhenren, cultivation is a major priority.

The life span of Tiangang Zhenren is 200 years as the limit. Once he practices the Dharma image and becomes the Dharma image Zhenjun, his life span will reach more than 300 years, almost doubled. Even for the extra years, he must work hard to practice.

However, Fang Haonan is an exception.

He has never given up practicing, but he will also take time to handle files and documents.

He is not at ease to leave all the things to those masters, nor does he want to entrust them to Disha Zhenren Qianhu. In short, if he does not handle some affairs personally every day, he will always feel a little uncomfortable.

In the Demon Suppression Division...

No! In the entire officialdom, he is an outlier.

He doesn't care about this, but is proud of it.

Thanks to his ability to read ten lines at a glance and his strong spirit, these matters basically don't take up much of his time and won't delay his cultivation.

"Knock knock knock..."

Someone is knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

Fang Haonan's expression became serious.

He knew that no one would come to disturb him unless something big happened. If someone came to disturb him at this time, something important must have happened.

After the door opened, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked in with his head held high.

This person is Gu Zhuo, the thousand-household Disha Zhenren of the Demon Suppression Department of Qinghe County. He and Fang Haonan are from the same sect, both from Chaotian Palace in the capital.

One Tiangang!

One Disha!

Both are losers in the sect fight.

Any disciple who once practiced in Chaotian Palace but served outside is a waste that cannot be successful for Chaotian Palace.

Even Tiangang is the same!

The reason why Fang Haonan, the Tiangang Zhenren, was released from the palace was that he was determined that he could only stop here on the road of cultivation, and he would never be destined to be a Zhenjun in this life.

Earthly Fiends...

There are even more of them, all over the world, everywhere.

"Another one died..."

Gu Zhuo sat down on the futon, saying unhappily.

"This one is a newly promoted Earthly Fiend."

"Who?"

Fang Haonan was still dealing with the case file, and asked without raising his head.

"Feng Ziqing!"

"Feng Ziqing from the Feng family in Yu County!"

As soon as the thought came to Fang Haonan, Feng Ziqing's face appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness, including all his information and materials.

In addition to reading ten lines at a glance, Fang Haonan also has the ability to remember everything he sees.

This one!

In addition to the Feng family, he should also be related to Fengyu Tower, and also to Boling Cui, not just a pure member of the Demon Suppression Division.

"Do you want to do something?"

Gu Zhuo asked.

As long as the soul lamp is not extinguished for a short time, the mage can use the soul lamp to cast a spell and trace back through the round light technique.

Under normal circumstances, there will be some gains.

Of course, doing so will definitely consume a lot of resources.

As a colleague of the Demon Suppression Division, if a comrade of the same level as the real person sacrifices, basically everyone will do the same.

If you can't avenge your comrades, the Demon Suppression Division will have no deterrent power.

In this way, those little cats and dogs will climb over your head.

After a moment of hesitation, Fang Haonan shook his head.

"Give the soul lamp to the Feng family and let them deal with it themselves..."

Gu Zhuo looked up at Fang Haonan, a little surprised.

"It's very complicated here, it's better to watch for the time being..."

Fang Haonan looked back at Gu Zhuo and said lightly.

It's too tiring to take care of the baby all day, and I only have time to write at night, exhausted
