Imperial Demon Slayer Division

When Gu Yan returned to Chunfeng County, the market at the gate of the city was crowded with people.

After approaching the city gate, the people saw the demon-slaying officer uniform on Gu Yan, and they all moved out of the way to leave a path for him.

Although the Demon Slayer Division has a high prestige among the common people, it is also respected and respected by others.

Just because the demon slayer has been fighting with evil spirits all year round, the smell of blood and murderous aura on his body is so strong that ordinary people will feel cold all over when they see him.

After entering the city, Gu Yan went straight to the Demon Slaying Division. After submitting the task to Lin Shaotai, he received the merits and rewards and hurried back to the courtyard.

After entering the room, I started daily practice. A month passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period, Gu Yan kept practicing, doing tasks, practicing, and doing tasks. Under Lin Shaotai's careful care, he successfully broke through to the late stage of Qi training.

The faint blue jade tablet shimmered, and a new thunder method appeared in the Nine Heavens God Thunder Scripture.

"Five Thunder Curse"

Gu Yan sat cross-legged on the stone table in the yard and comprehended the new thunder method.

The Five Thunder Curse attracts thunder from the sky to kill the enemy. Although it is not as fast as the palm thunder, it is more powerful.

After Gu Yan memorized the trajectory of the true energy, he began to try to practice this new thunder method.

After practicing in the hospital all night, Gu Yan suddenly opened his eyes, and there was a flash of blue light in his eyes.

Thinking of Thunder God in Dutian, thunderbolts shake the sky, and five thunders break evil spirits!

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and the roaring thunder instantly hit the ground, creating a pit half a foot deep.

The area around the pit was scorched black, and the escaping thunder turned the fallen leaves in the yard to yellow.

The destructive power of this Five Thunder Curse far exceeded Gu Yan's expectations, and its power was close to that of the late Huagang Realm!

With the release of the Five Thunder Curse, the true energy in Gu Yan's body was drained out in an instant.

"This Five Thunder Curse is indeed the thunder method in the Nine Heavens God's Thunder Scripture. It is extremely powerful. Even if a strong person in the late stage of the Transformation Gang Realm takes this blow, I am afraid he will not die or be disabled. But if he encounters an extremely fast opponent, I'm afraid it will not be so." Easy to hit”

When it was almost noon, Lin Qingshang came back with a bunch of things.

Lin Qingshang looked at the damage caused by Gu Yan's practice in the courtyard, his beautiful eyes filled with brilliance.

Lin Qingshang put down what he was holding, sat next to Gu Yan and asked.

"Today is the day of prayer, why don't you go out and watch the fun?"

"What's interesting? If you want to survive in troubled times, you can't rely on praying to gods and worshiping Buddha.

But relying on the knives and swords in our hands, if the gods and Buddhas in the sky really have spirits, they would have taken action to destroy the evil spirits long ago."

Gu Yan has never been interested in such festivals.

Five thousand years ago, since the shadow of evil first shrouded the human race, the people of the world have been living under the oppression of evil.

This prayer day is a ray of hope born in this state of the world. People place their hopes on the illusory gods and gods.

"I have been begging for five thousand years, but I have not seen any immortals come down to save the human race. On the contrary, the strongest human race five thousand years ago, and the Demon Slayer Division established two thousand years ago, have been risking their lives to fight against the evil spirits."

Gu Yan was disdainful of this. When Zecheng was still alive, his parents often went to worship gods, and Zecheng was also destroyed.

The raging evil spirits are like a big mountain, pressing firmly on the heads of the human race.

The human race of five thousand years ago had the most powerful person of that year, and the human race of two thousand years ago had the Demon Slayer Division who was carrying this mountain and protecting the human race.

Nowadays, Gu Yan only believes in the sword in his hand and the thunder in his hand.

"It's okay anyway, just go with me and take a look."

Lin Qingshang pouted, pulled the corner of Gu Yan's clothes and shook it.

Gu Yan, who was indifferent by nature, couldn't stand this kind of coquettishness and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, okay, come back early, I still want to practice"

Lin Qingshang happily pulled Gu Yan out and headed towards the altar in the south of the city.

All the people I saw on the road showed the most pious expressions, like the most loyal believers. They bowed step by step and walked towards the square in the south of the city.

Gu Yan looked at the people on the street, feeling increasingly unhappy.

An altar was built specifically for the Prayer Day in the center of the square in the south of the city.

On the altar, several middle-aged men in Taoist robes danced and waved wooden swords in their hands, speaking plausibly, and their posture seemed quite bluffing.

"Oh, pretending to be a ghost"

Gu Yan looked at the people busy at the altar with disdain.

"Oh, please stop saying a few words so that no one can hear you."

Lin Qingshang quickly stepped forward and covered Gu Yan's mouth. He looked around and found that no one heard him, and he was relieved.

Lin Qingshang actually didn't believe in praying days, otherwise he wouldn't have joined the dangerous Demon Slayer Division.

It's just that she loves to be lively by nature, so she pulled Gu Yan along. Gu Yan beside her frowned and patted Lin Qingshang's little hand away.

A sweet voice came from the side

"Brother Yan"

A slim figure rushed into Gu Yan's arms like an arrow, and rubbed its head back and forth in Gu Yan's arms like a puppy.

Lin Qingshang's eyes widened next to him, as if he had been immobilized by a body-fixing technique.

"Brother Yan, why did you come to Chunfeng County? Huh? Are you wearing these clothes? Have you joined the Demon Slayer Division?"

The girl in his arms raised her head and looked at Gu Yan.

"Are you Xiaoxue? You haven't grown so tall in many years?"

Gu Yan said a little surprised.

Lin Qingshang quickly came over and pulled Sikong Xue away from Gu Yan's arms, stared at Gu Yan and said

"Who is this?"

"My former neighbor in Zecheng has been playing with me since I was a child. He moved to Chunfeng County a few years ago."

"Xiaoxue, this sister's name is Lin Qingshang, and she is my colleague."

"Hello, Sister Lin, my name is Sikong Xue."

Sikong Xue said hello to Lin Qingshang obediently.

After hearing Gu Yan's answer, Lin Qingshang replied lightly

"Hello"

His eyes never left Sikong Xue.

"Brother Yan, why did you join the Demon Slayer Division?"

Sikong Xue asked curiously.

After listening to her words, Gu Yan was silent for a moment and told what happened in Zecheng.

Sikong Xue's eyes were red and she clenched her fists tightly.

"How could such good uncles and aunts be harmed by evil spirits? Damn evil evil spirits."

"Brother Yan, please come to my house tonight. My parents haven't seen you for a long time. Sister Lin, please come too."

Sikong Xue pulled Gu Yan's clothes.

"I won't go. You can go by yourself and stop drinking."

After Lin Qingshang warned Gu Yan, he turned and left.

In the evening, Gu Yan came to Sikong Xue's home with some gifts in his hand.

The Sikong family's residence in Chunfeng County is a large house with six rooms. His family's chamber of commerce is involved in various businesses, and he can now be regarded as the richest man in Chunfeng County.

After entering the hall, Gu Yan handed the gift in his hand to the servant and saluted the middle-aged man sitting in the hall.

"Uncle Sikong"

"Yan'er, long time no see. You've lost weight."

Si Kongfei looked at Gu Yan and said with emotion.

"Xue'er has told me everything about Zecheng. You have been wronged these days. I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes tonight. From now on, you will treat this place as your home."

Sikong Fei stepped forward and patted Gu Yan on the shoulder.

"Thank you Uncle Sikong for your concern."

The family dinner lasted for two hours and did not end until midnight

The concern of Sikong Xue's family warmed Gu Yan's heart. Since the disaster in Zecheng, no one except Lin Qingshang had treated Gu Yan like this.

After Gu Yan said goodbye to Sikong Xue's family, he returned to his residence, opened the door and walked into the yard.

Seeing Lin Qingshang sitting on the stone bench waiting for him, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.

Lin Qingshang poured him a cup of hot tea and asked

"You're not drunk, are you?"

Gu Yan shook his head and took the tea cup from Lin Qingshang's hand.

"No, why don't you rest?"

"Waiting for you. You just finished your mission today and went to Sikong's house to stay so late. Don't practice today. Go to sleep."

Lin Qingshang was lined up behind Gu Yan when he registered to join the Demon Slayer Division.

So she has always known about Zecheng. At first, she was just concerned about her colleagues.

Later, she gradually got used to Gu Yan's presence and had an indescribable feeling for him.

"No, daily practice cannot be stopped."

After Gu Yan gathered his true energy to evaporate the alcohol in his body, he went directly back to his room and started boring practice again.

The next morning, there was a rapid knock on the door outside the hospital, awakening Gu Yan who was practicing.

After walking out of the room and opening the courtyard door, the person who came was the deacon who was usually responsible for delivering tasks to Gu Yan and other demon slayers.

"Master Gu, the Demon Slayer Department has a new mission. Three more zombies have appeared in Chengbei Village. Master Lin thinks it is abnormal. Zombies are rarely seen in more than ten years. They appear frequently during this period. I want you to investigate. "

Gu Yan didn't know the frequency of zombies appearing in the past. When the deacon said that zombies were so rare, he instinctively felt that something was wrong.

After receiving the mission card, he went back to his room, picked up the demon-slaying knife and the demon-hunting plate, mounted his horse and headed straight to Chengbei Village.
