Spiritual Masters

Chi Sheng yawned: "I want to rest, what's so difficult to understand?"

Sui Xing: "..."

Ruan Yan: "..."

Zhong Mili didn't expect this person to be so thick-skinned: "You are really shameless, you come out to do things, and you still have the face to rest before the work is finished??"

Chi Sheng said calmly, "Why am I ashamed?"

Suixing was still eating leisurely, and the dishes in front of him had to be cleaned up, so this guy didn't know how to help him!Chi Sheng pushed the food away angrily and said, "It's enough to eat three full."

"Many things." Sui Xing put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

17. The Lost City ([-])

I never thought that this guy could confidently say that he was tired, he didn't do anything after walking a few steps, and he looked tired, really delicate!

But no matter how many people protested, the squeamish person refused to go and continued to make trouble, his mouth moved neatly, his limbs seemed to be filled with lead, and he cried, made trouble and hanged himself when he was dragged, causing people in the lobby to turn their heads frequently.

Ruan Yan felt extremely ashamed and covered his face in pain and said, "Go up and rest."

"Hey." Zhong Mili likes to take revenge at such a time, he covered his face with a compass to add insult to injury: "Why are you less useful than me?"

"It's a good time for you to compare me to me." Chi Sheng's plan was successful and he began to twitch: "Hey, I don't know who it is, but I was scared and hid behind my spirit envoy, crying and throwing talisman papers at people."

"...Shut up!" Zhong Mili threw the compass in his face: "Quickly shut up!"

"How dare you throw it at my face?!" Chi Sheng touched the talisman paper on his face and said angrily, "Do you know how much my face is worth!"

"..." Suixing recalled the scene at the inn, and glanced at his face.

Sensing the sight from his side, Chi Sheng said smugly: "Are you fascinated by watching it? This is also human nature. No one looks at me and calls me ugly."

Zhong Mili covered his face and said, "How could I know such a brazen person like you!"

Chi Sheng was unwilling to admit defeat: "Am I brazen? Back then, I didn't know who it was but I taught him how to be a cheeky person."

Zhong Mili screamed twice and lay down on the table unwilling to speak.

Seeing that the two of them were annoyed by this, Ruan Yan gave a "bah" expression with disgust: "I don't think you are tired at all, but you are very energetic."

Chi Sheng immediately slumped down, fearing that the few of them would be forced to pull him out due to their jealousy, and ran to the door in a desperate manner with his tail between his legs.

Thinking about the inn, he stopped the guy again: "Second brother, I'll ask you again, is there any inn nearby, the closest one."

The man pointed to himself: "We have them here, how many rooms do you want?"

"...Isn't there a restaurant hanging in front of your door?" Chi Sheng asked.

"Hey, there are always a few side jobs in a store, and our place is no exception!" The clerk patted his chest and said clearly: "As long as you want to choose, we will definitely provide it for you, and you will be satisfied!"

Chi Sheng chuckled: "Then come to the two upper rooms."

The man responded and took Chi Sheng upstairs. He stood at the top of the stairs and waved to those who were looking around, and they got up and walked towards him.

What this person said was indeed true. Although the main restaurant business, the wing rooms here are not simple, and can even be called high-quality. Chi Sheng simply allocated the room, and he wanted to enter the room while yawning.

"Wait." Ruan Yan pressed his shoulders: "Why are there so many vacant rooms, and Mi Li and I have to squeeze into one?"

Chi Sheng shook off the hands on his shoulders at a low speed, then pulled Sui Xing into the room and closed the door in one go. He shouted from the door: "Save money!"

Suixing: "..." This person is really bad at all.

Thinking that he was really sleepy, Chi Sheng rolled onto the bed without taking off his shoes, covered himself with the quilt, and did not move. After a while, there was the sound of even breathing.

This time he had a good night's dream, and when he woke up with a smile on his face, he yawned, lifted the quilt and got out of bed to get dressed.

The room was quiet and empty, he froze in the middle for a long time before murmuring: "Why is this bastard gone again?!"

Why do you always act alone, you don't know how to protect your master personally!

Forget it, since he has a blood contract, he can't go far if he wants to come, so let him go.

Chi Sheng got up early, and didn't bother the two people next door, but took some self-defense items and left the inn.

Compared with other cities, the air in Jingzhou is far worse, there will always be some dusty smell, probably because there are no plants around.

The early morning in Jingzhou City is "quiet" rather than "desolate". He wandered around the city leisurely, not missing any corners, but he didn't see a few decent stalls and shops. There are no larger houses.

This city is not big, only one-third of the size of Qianzhou. There are no officers and soldiers guarding the city, the order is chaotic, and there are "refugees" and beggars everywhere.

All kinds of "battles" can be seen in any alley, and scenes of noise, crying, and fighting can be seen and heard even on the most "busy" streets.

The county magistrate's mansion was originally located in the center of Jingzhou. The mansion covers a vast area, but it has been in decline for a long time. Half of the gate hangs crookedly, and the two stone lions at the gate were also destroyed.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and there were beggars and homeless people inside. From the house to the yard, there were dozens of people just by entering the door.

When Chi Sheng entered, everyone's eyes were on him, with all kinds of expressions and eyes. He gently clasped his fists at those people: "I'm sorry to disturb you all."

A man in rags asked vigilantly with a chipped bowl in his hand, "You are not from this city, are you from outside?"

"I have escaped so far." Seeing someone responding to him, Chi Sheng went to that person and imitated him and sat against the wall: "Can you take me in?"

The man took a bite of the soiled steamed bun and sneered, "You don't look like a refugee, why should I take you in?"

He circled the people in the yard with his finger: "Look at these people, they are homeless, they don't even have decent clothes, they can only survive by begging."

Chi Sheng looked around in the direction he pointed. These people include men, women, old and young, and even crying babies. These people have a hard life and will not easily trust others, nor will they be easily influenced by others. Money or food.

Instead of going around in circles with this person, he took out a piece of silver and put it in his palm: "I'm here to ask you something."

The man brushed his messy hair, stared at Chi Sheng for a long time and looked up and down: "Is there anything that people like you need to ask us?"

Chi Sheng ignored his sarcasm and smiled gently: "Of course it's a murder case, will you make this deal?"

Some news are often the people at the bottom who know the most, and it is always right to ask for news and find people who want money or life.

The man laughed: "How can you be sure that I will know the murder case, I am a beggar."

Chi Sheng looked around at the people in the yard calmly. They didn't seem to pay much attention to the movement here. He said straightly in a deep voice, "Do you know how the county magistrate of Jingzhou died?"

"Oh...?" The beggar rolled his eyes: "It's not easy to inquire about the county magistrate's office as soon as you come from outside. Who are you?"

People here are really wary of people from outside.Chi Sheng said bluntly: "To tell you the truth, I am a spiritual master. I came here this time because I noticed that Jingzhou has a strong evil spirit, and I want to find out."

The beggar put down the bowl and stared at him seriously: "Are you a demon hunter?"

Chi Sheng nodded: "Not bad."

"It does seem to be a bit of cultivation..." The beggar's speech was no longer as tense as before. He leaned against the wall and looked up as if lost in memory. , we moved here from the alley and bridge hole, and it can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain."

"The county magistrate of Jingzhou has died ten years ago, and there are already five county magistrates, each of whom died strangely after serving for more than a month." He smiled strangely: "These people dare not approach the county magistrate's office. It's a pity that the first county magistrate died and no one collected the body, or the people under him spent money to find our brothers and remove the county magistrate's body and throw it in a mass grave."

"So many county magistrates in Jingzhou have died, why do people still dare to live here?" Chi Sheng wondered.

"Jingzhou is a small place, how can there be such an empty mansion for them to live in." The beggar waved his hand: "Anyway, they are all sent by the imperial court, so I dare not say anything."

"You said that when the first county magistrate died, you carried away the body. What about the later ones?"

The beggar drank the water from the broken bowl in one go, and the water dripped on his long beard. He wiped his mouth and said, "The later ones? No one has seen those corpses. They died and disappeared out of thin air. It's very weird!"

Chi Sheng was thoughtful, and asked again: "What did the first county magistrate look like when he died?"

"Appearance?" The beggar scratched his body and said leisurely: "It rained heavily that night, and it was a thunderstorm, I didn't see his appearance very clearly, but I remembered his eyes were wide open and his mouth was open, as if he saw something scary. "

"It's raining heavily?" Chi Sheng frowned: "But you were asked to carry the body away overnight?"

"At that time, some of our brothers had just taken shelter from the rain under the bridge, and suddenly we heard the sound of hurried footsteps and noise." The beggar fell into the memory again, rubbing his bare arms with his hands: "We just want to see what's wrong. , I saw a group of officers and soldiers running over with lanterns."

"Our brothers were curious, so we followed. This group of officers and soldiers stopped at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, and there were people talking at the gate." The beggar frowned and said, "Then those officers and soldiers all evacuated for some reason. Only one man ran out and looked around, and he found us and told us to remove the bodies from the house,
