The sun is rising and there are no clouds in the sky.
Within the White Cloud Sect, Canyon.
In a remote wooden house, Cheng Buzheng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, and his whole body was covered with a layer of spiritual energy.
A ray of early sunshine shines through the window on the figure sitting cross-legged on the bed. Under the reflection of the early sunshine, it looks unusually dazzling.
suddenly.
Cheng Buzheng's eyelashes moved slightly, and she opened her Clear Black and White Eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.
As he slowly withdrew his power, the Spirit Energy Layer that enveloped him quickly dissipated, and the ray of early sunshine finally shone on his handsome face.
Cheng Buzheng subconsciously looked around the room, then calculated with his right hand, frowned, and then sighed quietly.
"In the blink of an eye, it has been eight years! The ten-year period is not far away, and it is time to go back and take a look.
But this year's tasks have not been completed yet. The tasks of Grain Avoidance Pill and Qi Nourishing Pill have been taken away. I don't know how long it will take before the next batch of alchemy tasks will be sent out.
Although at this time, Command Token Pavilion still has the refining tasks of Qi Gathering Pill and Qi Gathering Pill, they are not suitable for him to accept.
Forget it... Let's go see if the alchemy has been released?
If you still don't have it, just take on a simple, side-by-side mission."
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and walked out of the wooden house, riding a gray spiritual cloud under his feet, keeping a low profile and flying towards the Command Token Pavilion.
When Cheng Buzheng came out of the Command Token Pavilion, he had an extra piece of Jade Slip and the command talisman in his hand. He was driving the spiritual cloud while reading the information in Jade Slip.
······
Heyang Prefecture, Tianshui County.
Cheng Buzheng Since learning about the mission, he has been rushing towards the target location non-stop.
He also understood why this mission was so simple.
This mission comes from the mundane missions within the rule of the White Cloud Sect.
Within the scope of the White Cloud Sect's rule, once there is something beyond the ability of mortals, it will be reported to Prefecture Office, and then the White Cloud Sect monks who sit in Prefecture Office will be notified.
It will be handled at the discretion of the monk in charge. If it exceeds the ability of the monk in charge, it will be reported to the sect. After screening, it will be released in the Command Token Pavilion.
However, the monk in charge here had just expired, and without handing over to the new resident monk, he hurriedly dealt with his own affairs, so that at this time, Heyang Prefecture was in a window period without a monk.
Generally, the monks in charge only deal with monsters or things that are difficult for ordinary people to deal with. As for ordinary matters, they are still handled by the Jin royal family, and the sect will not interfere.
The geographical scope of the sect's rule is also the scope of disciple recruitment. One-third of the area of the Jin Kingdom is within the control of the White Cloud Sect.
This mission is in Heyang Prefecture and Tianshui County. According to intelligence, Demon Beast is infested there, and many villagers have died from the mouths of beasts.
This is the origin of this mission. According to intelligence, it is the first-order low-grade Lion-Scaled Beast who is causing trouble.
Even monk Early Qi Refining Stage is unwilling to take on such tasks. Not only is the journey long, but the rewards are meager.
Otherwise, this task would not have been his turn to take over, and it would have been taken away long ago.
One month later.
A handsome young man walked into the extremely prosperous city.
Cheng Buzheng came to the gate of County Government Office and showed Identity Token.
Tianshui County, the county magistrate immediately came to the door to greet him.
"I've seen an immortal, but I don't know what to call him?"
The county magistrate asked cautiously.
"White Cloud Sect, Cheng Buzheng."
Cheng Buzheng said with a smile.
During the conversation, Cheng Buzheng silently looked at the county magistrate.
Wearing the Jin Kingdom county magistrate's seventh-grade official robe, the old man has a somewhat white beard and hair, and has bright eyes.
While Cheng Buzheng was sizing him up, Ling Tianshui County was also sizing up Cheng Buzheng cautiously, fearing that he would be too slow to treat the immortal.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and showed a warm smile on his face.
"I have met the Immortal. The Immortal has come all the way. Why not stay in County Government Office and rest for one night. I will tell you about the specific situation of Demon Beast tomorrow."
"It doesn't have to be like this. This matter cannot be delayed. Demon Beast If you stay a moment longer, you will be in more danger. It is better to solve it as soon as possible."
Cheng Buzheng Just give up.
He still wanted to complete the task early.
As for the rest, we will talk about it later.
After hearing this.
The warm smile on the county magistrate's face couldn't help but become a little brighter.
"The Supreme Immortal has a heart for all living beings. This county magistrate admires me very much. Since the Immortal is so anxious to deal with this matter, I will ask someone to explain the matter in detail."
Finished.
His face became solemn.
"Someone is coming!"
"Sir, what are your orders?" A policeman who was guarding the gate of County Government Office trotted over.
"Send the order from this county magistrate and ask Head Constable Li to come over immediately."
"Yes, my subordinate, go right away!" He immediately accepted the order and trotted out.
After the police officers left, the county magistrate smiled warmly at Cheng Buzheng.
"Shangxian, follow me to the inner hall and wait!"
"Then you're welcome."
--
In the hall.
Cheng Buzheng and Magistrate Wang sit on the left and right sides.
Magistrate Wang, took a set of antique tea sets handed over by the servant.
Magistrate Wang took out two white jade teacups from the tea set tray, filled them with fragrant tea, rinsed them, and bursts of fragrance spread in the room.
The technique of washing tea is quite sophisticated, which is pleasing to the eye.
After some actions, the tea exuded a faint fragrance.
Magistrate Wang handed the tea cup to Cheng Buzheng and said respectfully:
"Shangxian, please try it and see how my tea skills go?"
At the same time, he poured out a cup of tea, took a slight sniff, then took a sip, squinting his eyes, looking intoxicated.
Cheng Buzheng couldn't help but take a closer look, and saw that inside the white jade tea cup, the tea was only seven-percent full. The green tea and a few tea leaves looked like a girl stretching out in the water.
He picked up the white jade tea cup and took a slight sniff. A burst of fragrance came out. Although it was not Spirit Tea, it was still a rare fine product in the secular world.
He took a gentle sip and then put down the tea cup.
"Shangxian, how do you like this tea?"
As he spoke, Magistrate Wang added another cup of tea and said:
"Shangxian, please!"
The two of them drank tea and chatted.
After a long time.
A burly man strode over with a sword hanging from his waist.
"Lord County Magistrate!"
"Head Constable Li is here, please sit down first!"
Then he introduced, "Shangxian. This is Head Constable Li from County Government Office. Head Constable Li guards the safety of the whole county. It can be said that he has worked hard and accomplished a lot!"
Hear the words.
Head Constable Li was immediately excited, stood up, and bowed respectfully, "I have met the Immortal, and my lord has praised me for it. Your lord has always been a good leader, so why should I care about my meager contribution?"
Magistrate Wang stopped and said, "Shangxian, if you have any questions, just ask Head Constable Li."
Cheng Buzheng noticed Head Constable Li the moment he entered the hall.
Zhang Captou's muscles were all bulging. He seemed to exercise regularly. Judging from the intensity of Qi and Blood's surge, none of the big men could be Head Constable Li's opponent. He was considered a mortal with peak combat power.
Cheng Buzheng said with a smile, "Head Constable Li, sit down."
"Thank you, Immortal!" Head Constable Li was quite flattered and said quickly:
"Immortal, if there is any problem, I will definitely tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything."
Although he doesn't know the details of Cheng Buzheng, he still knows the brand name of Shangxian.
No matter which land boundary it is in the Jin Kingdom.
Immortals are all existences that look down on the common people. No mortal dares to show any slightness.
Thinking of this, Head Constable Li did not dare to be careless.
Cheng Buzheng said, "In the intelligence, I learned that there is Demon Beast in the surrounding area. Please Head Constable Li tell me the specific situation in detail."
Head Constable Li looked calm, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, he slowly said:
"A month and a half ago, at midnight, villagers came to report to the police that Demon Beast was cannibalizing people. I immediately led the police to the village and found the villager who had a lucky escape.
After careful questioning, several villagers went out hunting and encountered Demon Beast.
According to the villagers, this Demon Beast is about one foot in size, has a lion's head, is covered in gray scales, and looks extremely fierce."
