Chapter 188 Things are going to change
Youzhou.
The demon-suppressing city!
Inside the city, there is a seemingly ordinary government office. Its appearance is unremarkable and not much different from the surrounding buildings. However, the three words written on the plaque on the door are like a towering mountain, enough to make all the practitioners in Yongguo, all the demons and monsters, bow their heads in obedience.
Those three words seemed to possess mysterious power and exude an aura of majesty.
It is precisely because of the existence of this government office that this city is called the Demon-Suppressing City.
Those three words are - Night Tour Division!
Yongguo has two main offices of the Night Patrol Division, one in the capital, and the other in Youzhou Demon Town.
Since the establishment of the Night Patrol Division, there has been no disturbance here, and any demons and monsters have to take a detour. Because of this, the Demon Suppression City has become the safest and most peaceful town.
However, the Demon Suppression City at this time was no longer as quiet as before. The originally peaceful atmosphere was broken, replaced by a tense and busy scene.
More and more members of the Night Patrol came here. They were all wearing green tights, and the one-horned and nine-tailed beast on their chests looked ferocious.
The expressions on their faces were not very good. They pursed their lips, and even when they saw someone they knew, they did not say anything, but just nodded as a greeting.
Some of them were already on duty in Youzhou, while others had come from thousands of miles away from other places. They were dusty and exhausted, but their eyes revealed ruthlessness and seriousness.
Obviously, they all knew why they gathered here today.
So many members of the Night Patrol Division gathered here with only one common purpose, which is to maintain the face of the Night Patrol Division!
Some time ago, the provocation against the Night Tour Division that shocked the entire Yongguo cultivation world was finally revealed, and the mastermind behind it has also surfaced. That group of people called themselves the Illuminati, claiming that light will dispel darkness. With their existence, the Night Tour Division has no meaning to exist.
Such arrogant words were intolerable to the Yeyou Division, which had always been arrogant. Even the chief of the Yeyou Division, who seldom appeared in public, spoke out.
We must use thunderous means to suppress all evil!
These are the original words of the Chief Minister.
For this operation, one of the two chiefs was present on the scene in person, and among the 120 registered members of the Night Patrol Department, except for a few who needed to stay at their posts, the remaining more than 70 people were all present.
This time, it is destined to be a big operation.
There was a tension in the air, as if a storm was about to come.
On the parade ground, following the loud command from the chief, all the members of the Night Patrol Division present went out.
Fang Jie stood there, staring at his colleagues who were leaving in a hurry, with a burning fire in his eyes. He turned his head slightly and said excitedly to Cheng Fengzi beside him: "Uncle Cheng, are we responsible for the Dongxi City area this time?"
Cheng Fengzi looked haggard, like an old farmer who had been working on the land for many years. Time had carved deep lines on his face. He habitually shrugged his nose, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then slowly said, "Yes, there is news that there are many people in that place. You should be careful."
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of worry and concern.
Fang Jie chuckled, a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes. He raised his chin and said, "It's just some hidden tricks..."
Fengzi Cheng knew Fang Jie's personality, so when he saw him like this, he just shook his head helplessly and said nothing more. He slowly raised his head and looked at the sky that was covered with dark clouds. The dark clouds were as black as ink, weighing heavily on his head.
He murmured under his breath.
"Things are going to change..."
…
"The sky is going to change!"
Xu Zhen shouted anxiously, his voice full of anxiety. As he shouted, he kept moving his feet, looking up at the sky from time to time. The sky, which was originally only slightly gloomy, was now completely covered by heavy dark clouds, like a huge black curtain that could pour down endless rain at any time.
Xu Zhen's face was filled with anxiety, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He kept urging Li Zhi and others around him: "Hurry up, don't wait until it rains and there's nowhere to hide!"
Li Zhi also looked up at the sky. The layers of dark clouds were indeed as Xu Zhen said, as if it was about to rain. He also felt a sense of urgency.
He quickly quickened his pace and urged others to hurry up just like Xu Zhen did.
"Tick tock..."
"Tick tock..."
"Tick...tick...tick...tick..."
The rain finally fell, and the crisp sound of raindrops fell on the ground, leaves, flowers, and roofs.
"Oh, I'm so lucky. It started raining just when I found the place." Pei Xiucai stuck his head outside and said as he looked at the falling raindrops.
Li Zhi and his friends were very lucky and found a place to shelter from the rain before it started.
This is an abandoned temple. The temple door is a bit dilapidated, with the paint peeling off, revealing the mottled wood texture. The steps in front of the temple are covered with moss, making it look particularly quiet.
The temple was not very big, with a somewhat dilapidated statue placed in the center. The face of the statue was blurred, and only the general outline could be seen. The altar in front of the statue was covered with dust, and it was obvious that no one had come to worship for a long time.
Some parts of the temple roof were damaged, and rainwater dripped through the cracks, forming small puddles on the ground.
After Li Zhi and his friends found a place that wouldn't leak and put their things away, they started eating their dry food.
Xu Zhen looked at the rain outside. His anxiety about getting wet had subsided. He chewed the steamed bun in his hand and said, "I don't know how long this rain will last. Why don't we stay here tonight?"
Pei Xiucai nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it's getting late. Even if the rain stops, it will be dark."
Li Zhi glanced at Wang Yang and Erniu, and seeing that they agreed, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's stay here tonight."
At night, everyone was asleep, and today it was Pei Xiucai's turn to keep watch.
Pei Xiucai yawned lazily, with a little tiredness in his eyes. He slowly took out a book and read quietly in the flickering light of the burning firewood. Even though he had decided to give up writing and join the army, Pei Xiucai still couldn't change his habit of reading.
Strangely enough, ever since he made up his mind not to take the imperial examination, the books that he had never been able to read before seemed to have a magical power, giving him a magical feeling of being able to remember everything he read. Every line of text seemed to come alive and was deeply engraved in his mind.
Pei Xiucai's family conditions were not very good, but one of his ancestors had passed the imperial examination, which made their family considered a scholarly family.
The family had spent countless time and money on his studies. His parents lived frugally just to allow him to study better.
But he felt guilty when he saw the increasingly difficult situation at home. He didn't want to add burden to his family and didn't want to study anymore. But his parents refused to do anything and insisted that he study and take the imperial examination.
They all believed that only the imperial examination could change the family's destiny and allow Pei Xiucai to succeed.
Finally, Pei Xiucai was so angry that he decided to run away from home and join the army.
Pei Xiucai was inevitably a little nervous when he left home for the first time, but he felt lucky to have met some good companions on this strange journey.
Thinking of this, Pei Xiucai couldn't help but look back at the other people who were still sleeping.
At this moment, a slight sound was heard outside the house, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
Pei Xiucai frowned, and a sense of vigilance surged in his heart. He stood up gently and walked quietly to the door. He carefully stuck his head out and looked outside nervously.
