Chapter 51: Novice Tasks
Song Ning laughed at Sun Deyi's frustrated look.
"Brother Sun, we are all newcomers who have just been selected through the branch office. This time we come to Liaohe to support us, and we really have no experience.
Stay in Xiadu during this period, and I hope Brother Sun can give me more advice."
He bowed to Sun Deyi. In Xiang Yuan's opinion, Sun Deyi's character is generous and staying in Xiadu for the time being will not be bad.
"I am very happy that my two colleagues are willing to stay in Xiadu.
I dare not take any advice. It’s just that I have worked for a few years and have more experience than you.” Xiang Yuan and Song Ning are willing to stay, but Sun De cannot ask for it.
At this time, the entire Liaohe ward yamen is in a shortage of manpower, including them.
Just dawn today, he received news that there were traces of suspected ghosts appearing in Zhouzhai Village outside Xiadu City.
He did not dare to delay, so he had to hurry to go. When he arrived at Zhouzhai Village, he saw that more than a dozen sheep had been peeled off.
The traces left on the scene do indicate the existence of the inhuman being committed in this case.
But now there are more than five ghost incidents to be dealt with in the entire Xiadu. They are really unable to deal with it. They can handle it here and cannot prevent it.
But now, with the addition of Xiang Yuan and the others, the shortage of staff should be alleviated to a certain extent.
After visiting Sun Deyi, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning politely declined the invitation of the garrison officer to keep them for dinner.
Of course, this is also the premise of seeing a pot of stewed stewed in the kitchen next to the yard, cabbage, potatoes and beef and mutton.
After making an appointment, we officially came to report for assistance tomorrow. Xiang Yuan and Song Ning left the garrison yamen that were not like the garrison yamen at all and returned to the inn.
"Huh, I really didn't expect that the jail office of the Demon Mansion would look like this. It's really beyond my imagination."
As soon as she returned to the room, Song Ning fell directly on the bed and sat in the guard office for an afternoon. Her waist and back were stiff and a little sore.
Looking at Song Ning lying on the bed without even taking off his shoes, Xiang Yuan shook his head and sat at the tea table:
"Xiadu is the most edge of the entire Liaohe area, but even here, there is already a situation where the jail offices are overwhelmed.
I really don’t know what the situation is now in Wancheng and Pengchang, which are located in the core location of Liaohe.”
"Don't worry about it. We are all newcomers. Didn't Lord Tian say that when we came, let us do our best?" He turned over and got up from the bed and came to the tea table. Song Ning opened the teacup and poured a cup of white water.
"That's the case, people are always a little curious." Xiang Yuan dipped his fingers and dipped his fingers in the water in the cup in front of him, and stroked the table.
"Did you find out when you were guarding the yamen today?
This guardian seems to be a trainer, but his walking style is a bit strange."
Thinking back on the scene of seeing Sun Deyi during the day, Xiang Yuan always felt something was wrong.
When Sun Deyi walked, he always hit the ground with his forefoot, which is very different from a normal person.
Hearing Xiang Yuan say this, Song Ning also remembered:
"Indeed, his voice was loud but he didn't feel harsh, which means he had a strong breath, at least he was a second-rate expert.
Moreover, when he walked, his forefoot was on the ground and his legs were stretched very straight. He didn't feel it if he didn't pay attention.
But if you look closely, you will find it strange."
"It seems that there are many people with amazing skills in the hidden soldiers. We should learn more." After a smile, Xiang Yuan turned around and walked towards the bed: "It's my turn to bed today.
Lay the foundation in the cabinet, you can lay the floor yourself."
This time they came out, they only had sixty taels of silver on them. They went to Xiadu to see Song Ning, stay in a hotel, buy clothes, and eat.
It was so complicated that it had already cost nearly twenty taels without realizing it.
In order to save some money, Song Ning simply asked Xiang Yuan to retreat to a room, and the two lived in the same room, one slept on the bed and the other slept on the floor.
Anyway, they are all martial arts practitioners, so they are not afraid of any taboos.
Song Ning spoke, and Xiang Yuan didn't say anything at home, so he naturally had no objection, so the two of them slept in the same room.
He stretched his waist and fell on the bed, pulled the bedding towards Yuan and covered it with his body, and then began to sleep soundly.
After curling his lips and looking at Xiang Yuan who didn't know how to be sympathetic, Song Ning sighed briefly and did not go to compete with Xiang Yuan for bed.
After all, Xiang Yuan has been taking care of her during the period when she was sick, and it was quite hard.
It was late at night, and Xiang Yuan and Song Ning both fell asleep. They slept particularly early tonight.
Because both of them knew that starting tomorrow, such a safe and secure sleeping environment might not be able to be found again.
...
Outside Xiadu City, on the soil slope of Huguang Village, Fan Guchun, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning were quietly lying on the ground.
The starry sky above the head is like a blue and black curtain, with starlight dotted on the curtain.
The frost-white silver moon was splashing light on the earth beneath it.
Lying on the dirt slope, I heard the rustling sound of the forest farm not far away being blown by the night wind.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the black holes. He could only vaguely see a forest farm shaking the shadows of trees. Xiang Yuan lowered his voice and asked Fan Guchun beside him:
"Brother Fan, how long will we wait here?"
"Wait a little longer, that thing has been going through this dirt road in the forest farm every night.
But the time is not fixed, it is roughly after midnight." He answered Xiang Yuan's question in a low voice, but Fan Guchun's eyes did not leave the direction of the forest farm for a moment.
Xiang Yuan was breathless after lying motionless for a long time.
Compared to this semi-latent state, Xiang Yuan prefers direct fighting, and this long wait is really tormenting.
Fortunately, God seemed to hear Xiang Yuan’s bored cry.
Not long after, a graceful figure swaying and holding an oil paper umbrella in his hand appeared at the end of the dirt road in the forest farm.
"Here you come!"
With Fan Guchun's low reminder, Xiang Yuan and Song Ning immediately cheered up.
He instantly turned his eyes to the strange figure.
The graceful figure holding an oil-paper umbrella walked very slowly. On the quiet and cold night, she was humming an inexplicable tune while walking.
The already intoxicating atmosphere became even more chilling.
In the thick black leather cloak is a bright red dress, with lotus steps lightly moving, and the round and fair calves are naturally exposed outside.
The woman's oil paper umbrella was very low, covering its own face tightly, making Xiang Yuan feel curious.
Watching the woman walk through the path of the forest farm and gradually walk into the area of Huguang Village, Fan Guchun whispered: "Let's go."
Trying to slow down, the three of them got up and there was almost no sound except for the slight sound of their clothes coming into contact with the ground.
"Brother Fan, what is this ghost coming from?" Xiang Yuan followed Fan Guchun to Huguang Village and asked softly.
After climbing over a wall built by red bricks and entering Huguang Village, Fan Guchun explained: "This ghost appeared in Huguang Village two months ago.
Twenty days ago we received a request for help from the local government and then arrived."
"This thing appeared two months ago, why did you notify the jail jail twenty days ago?" Song Ning said in confusion when he heard the time in Fan Guchun's words.
"The villagers are ignorant, and this ghost has a good skin.
At midnight, I came to Huguang Village to find the men's happiness and absorb their energy.
The person who was harmed by this ghost didn't feel bad at first, until a month ago, someone had been sucked out of energy and died suddenly at home.
This caused panic among the villagers, and reported it to the government, and then forwarded the news to us." Fan Guchun said.
Hearing that it was this reason, Song Ning sneered: "Lust is so scattered! I deserve it."
While observing the surroundings, he handed a fish bubble filled with liquid to Xiang Yuan and Song Ning. Fan Guchun explained: "This ghost is not very powerful in combat, and even Ding Xia is not enough.
It contains green oil, and the burning flames are enough to burn this ghost to death.
If you meet that ghost later, you will find the right opportunity to hit the oil on it. Then we can destroy this ghost with just a little fire."
Rubbing the fish bubbles on the surface of his hand, he nodded to Yuan.
Instead of fighting head-on, they use various means to weaken, clamp down, and burn the Yin ghosts to complete the annihilation task. This is the normal combat procedure of the hidden soldiers that Xiang Yuan only learned after he came to the Xiadu Guardian Yamen.
As for why not directly demonize the ghost and kill it neatly.
The reason is also very simple. First, except for special circumstances, the hidden soldiers guarding the yamen in various places can only apply for the Demon Blood Nail every three months.
In other words, if demonization is used, it means that the hidden soldier will have to wait at least three months before he can apply for the second demon blood nail.
And the reason why the Demon Mansion has to formulate unreasonable rules that look at this way is unreasonable.
In fact, it is to prevent the hidden soldiers from wantonly using demonized power.
After all, if the hidden soldiers do not restrict the use of demonization.
In the first place, it will increase the production pressure on the Demon Mansion itself.
There are about two or three hundred hidden soldiers in Bazhong County alone. If they are used without restrictions, it will be a huge resource expenditure.
Secondly, if the hidden soldiers are demonized by randomly, there will definitely be no fewer witnesses. At that time, the secret nature of the entire Demon Mansion will be like a joke, which is contrary to the principles of the Demon Mansion's existence.
Therefore, under this rule, when hidden soldiers from all over the world encounter dark ghosts that are not particularly difficult, they generally do not use demonization to fight directly with ghosts.
Instead, use various restrained tools to complete the purpose of performing tasks, such as now.
He used a small pocket to pack the green oil, and Xiang Yuan and the other two walked into the village road of Huguang Village with their waists.
