MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 16 [016] Wen Deng County

   Chapter 16 [016] Wen Deng County

  Wuyi Houwangfu was blocked by Fumo Division, and no one inside or outside was allowed to enter or leave without permission.

   At the same time, Fu Mosi also mobilized a lot of people, and began to search the entire sky to see if there were any fish that slipped through the net, or other evil spirits hiding.

   For a time, Chaotian started an anti-evil storm because of the Chunman Pavilion incident, the scale of which was unprecedented in history.

   But all of this has nothing to do with Ning Xiu. The letter Su Qianqian handed him recorded that the mission location was Wendeng County, a county not far north of Chaotiandu.

   Ning Xiu has never left Chaotian Capital since he entered the championship camp. This time he was ordered to go to Wendeng County to investigate the situation.

   In addition to teaching martial arts exercises, equestrian is also one of the must-learn skills for apprentices in the championship camp. They train in groups every seven days, so Ning Xiu is a little bit knowledgeable about horse riding.

   It may not be possible to use the difficult man-horse operation, but there is no problem with daily commands such as moving forward and stopping.

   Borrowed a fine horse from the horse hall in the Fu Mo Si, and Ning Xiu rode the horse away from Chaotian Capital.

Wendeng County is located forty miles north of Chaotian Capital. This county is located at the intersection of four north-south post roads, and is adjacent to the Changxia River, a tributary of the Chaotian Canal. Merchants, fleets and escorts from south to north greatly promote economy of the county.

   Therefore, other industries in Wendeng County are unremarkable, except for the inns, brothels, and wineries that have lasted for decades, and over time have become the three major local characteristics.

   Not long ago, a series of strange things happened in Wendeng County.

  There is an inn's running hall in the county that unfortunately stumbled and fell into the Changxia River when he returned home at night. When others found him and rescued him, the running hall had already died.

  This was just an accident, and it was not that no one drowned in the river before, but the strange things that happened later made Wendeng County panic.

  It turned out that after hearing the news, the family who ran the hall came to collect the corpse, so they temporarily placed the corpse in the courtyard of their home, but they never thought that the corpse disappeared one night.

  The family searched the whole Wendeng County but found nothing, so they had to leave it alone.

   In the following days, people in the county fell into the water and died one after another while passing by the Changxia River at night. Up to now, the number of people killed has reached 17.

After the county magistrate's arrest, he found no progress. In order to prevent anyone from dying in the Changxia River, Dong Fu, the magistrate of Wendeng County, wrote a letter and reported the matter to Fumo. manage.

   I hope that Fu Mosi can send Fu Mowei over here to see what the situation is.

   If there are evil spirits that are secretly harming people, they must be eradicated as soon as possible to avoid future troubles forever.

   After galloping on the post road for more than an hour, the outline of the city wall of Wendeng County finally appeared in Ning Xiu's field of vision.

This is a small but delicate county town. There are dozens of red lanterns hanging at the gate of the city wall, and wind chimes and colorful flags are attached to them. Whenever someone passes by, you can hear the jingle of bells. ring.

   This time, Ning Xiu did not choose to wear the black silver chain mail he received from the Demon Lord because he felt that the outfit was too conspicuous.

   Not to mention the common people, even the evil spirits know that you are the Fu Mowei after seeing you. This kind of feeling that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light is not what Ning Xiu wants.

   Facts have proved that this choice is quite correct. When Ning Xiu rode into the city, no one paid attention to him except for some passing girls and women who would look at Ning Xiu with astonishing eyes.

   When I came to Wendeng County, the first thing was to go to the yamen to contact the county magistrate, so that I could learn more information from the other party that was not written in the letter, so as to facilitate the investigation.

When he came to the gate of the county government office, and saw two arresting officers preparing to go out, Ning Xiu immediately took out his iron horse Fumowei token and said, "I was sent by the Fumo Division to investigate more than ten cases of drowning in your county this time. The Demon Commander of the case, please take me to see the magistrate of this county."

  Fu Mosi is a force independent of the imperial court. Even if the iron horse Fu Mowei, the official position is much higher than that of the county magistrate.

   Soon, in the study room in the county office, Ning Xiu finally met Dong Fu, the magistrate of Wendeng County.

   This is a fat man with a bloated body. The eyes squeezed by the fat on his face are squinting. At first glance, there is no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and seas on weekdays, and he overeats.

   "Who are you?" Looking at this strange young man who walked in from outside the study, Dong Fu put down the "Jin Ping Yan Nv" in his hand and asked in confusion.

  Chu Kuai hurriedly walked to his side and explained, Dong Fu just got up and said with a very simple and honest smile: "I didn't know that the adults were coming, but I couldn't welcome them from afar. I hope the adults will forgive me."

"You're welcome, show me all the drowning case files you have in your hands now, and we will strive to resolve them as soon as possible, so that no more innocent people are killed." Ning Xiu sat down on the mahogany chair in front of the desk and said calmly. .

   "Yes, yes." Dong Fu immediately walked to the bookshelf behind him and began to pick out some files involved.

   Taking advantage of this time, Ning Xiu couldn't help looking at the book "The Beautiful Girl in the Golden Bottle" that Dong Fu had placed on the table.

   I saw that the book was **** thick, with apricot-yellow writing, and a vivid picture of a man and two women in a house painted on the cover.

The three of them are only 5% dressed. The general posture is that a man is sitting on the edge of the bed, a woman is behind him, and a woman is washing face cream in front of him. It is really hard not to make people suspect that this is a pornographic book Book.

When Dong Fu came over holding a pile of files, he happened to see Ning Xiu's curious eyes, and immediately smiled: "If you like it, just take it and read it, this book is not bad, it can be regarded as this year's novel. The best in the industry.”

   "Ning has never read this kind of book, I read Spring and Autumn." Ning Xiu declined directly.

   In his previous life, he didn't even bother to look for "Bai", "Shao" and "Door" on the Internet. Can I read your big business yellow book today? That is not to defeat the tall image of the Demon Commander.

   stretched out his hand and brought the file that Dong Fu had set up, and Ning Xiu read it carefully.

   Including the first runner who drowned in the Changxia River, a total of 18 people drowned in Wendeng County in the past half month.

   These dossiers record the specific identities, family backgrounds, and daily social situations of these 18 people.

The duty of the iron horse Fumowei is to investigate the truth in the villages and counties where the strange things happened. If it is an evil monster, depending on the specific strength of the opponent, report it to the Fumo Division. The Fumo Division will dispatch the Fumowei led by the bronze leopard. The demon team came to eradicate it.

   But finding out the truth is not an easy task, and the difficulty may not be much easier than eradicating the evil.

After reading all the files, Ning Xiu asked Dong Fu, "Wendeng County is not a big place, and the news spread that some people frequently stumbled and drowned in the Changxia River, why would someone approach the Changxia River at night and cause accidents? Have you asked the family of the deceased why?"

"My lord, I have sent arresters to ask about this, but the question is strange here, except that the first five or six people did not believe in evil and took a shortcut home from the Changxia River, and all the deceased behind were inexplicably in the middle of the night. They disappeared from their homes, and the boatman found their bodies floating on the bank of the Changxia River the next day."

   "It's like this, I really don't know where to start." Ning Xiu thought about it and said, "Well, first send a catcher to take me to the homes of the dead."

   "Okay." Dong Fu looked at the catcher who brought Ning Xiu over outside the study and shouted, "Fang Ping, take this lord to the homes of those who drowned. Follow your instructions."

   "Yes." Zhu Kuai responded immediately, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

   Being able to work with Fu Mosi, I don't know how many wishes to catch fast, and now he has finally achieved it.

   After Ning Xiu left the study, he disappeared from his eyes. Dong Fu sat back in his chair, picked up the "Jin Ping Yan Nv" on the table and muttered: "Spring and Autumn? What kind of book is that, is it more exciting than my book?"

  …

Since the accidental drowning in the Changxia River, apart from the laborers responsible for carrying goods at the ferry port, ordinary people have rarely dared to approach the Changxia River, for fear that the next person to die in the Changxia River will be themselves, so today's The Changxia River is particularly deserted.

   The eighteen deceased who drowned in the Changxia River were mostly located near the Changxia River, and they could see the scenery along the river within a few hundred steps.

  Following Fang Ping, Ning Xiu quickly arrived at the residence of the first deceased. He saw white banners and black cloths hanging all over the door of the house. At a glance, he knew that someone had died recently.

   When Ning Xiu and Fang Ping walked to the door, they happened to see a child wearing white linen and sackcloth running out holding a brazier. After seeing the two, they were so frightened that they put down the brazier and ran away.

   "Mother! There are people outside." The child's voice was clear and crisp, and after a few breaths, an old woman and a young woman ran out of the room. They were dressed like children.

   "Several, I'm Fang Ping, the county arrester. This time, I was ordered by the county magistrate to come and check on one or two. You don't have to panic." Fang Ping explained aloud.

  Fu Mosi has a special status. On the way before he came, Ning Xiu specially told Fang Ping not to reveal his identity to others, so as not to cause some unnecessary accidents, Fang Ping naturally did so.

   Seeing Fang Ping in a fast-catching suit, and the handsome young man following him gave off an inexplicable sense of intimacy, the few of them were relieved.

   "Master, please come in quickly." The old woman said quickly.

   The courtyard was inexplicably shady, and when Ning Xiu took the first step in the hospital, he clearly felt a chill that came from nowhere pervading his entire body.

  Ning Xiu followed Fang Ping and silently performed the Spiritual Eye Observation Technique.

   As the Spiritual Eye Observation Technique was upgraded to the fifth level by Ning Xiu, the effect of this use has undergone great changes.

   In addition to the original evil spirits, Ning Xiu was able to discover more things that were previously invisible.

   I saw that in this courtyard, the evil spirit was weak, but only one room was shrouded in a large amount of black mist.

   If ordinary people live in it, they will inevitably suffer from illness in light form, and will die soon in severe form.
