Chapter 342 People coming from the capital
in the afternoon.
Luo Liang came out of the side room with a gloomy face and walked into the lobby. He ignored the Zhang clan members who greeted him enthusiastically and came to Yu Die and said:
"Yu Baihu, it suddenly occurred to me that the tiger monster occupying Lion Ridge is probably in the Jindan stage, or even the Yuanying stage. It's quite amazing. Moreover, it has occupied Lion Ridge for so many years, and I have never heard of it harming the people. Should we consider dealing with it again?"
Yu Die was originally teasing Wang Pingan happily, but when she heard Luo Liang's words, she looked up at Luo Liang with a playful look on her face, and said with a smile:
"Xianguan Luo, you are the Xianguan of Qingyang County. You are more familiar with every plant and tree in Qingyang County than I am. You know better than I do whether it is good or bad, but it has seized the authority of the Mountain God and is said to have tortured and killed the previous Mountain God.
If we don't deal with this vicious and evil person as soon as possible, who knows if he will do something that will anger the heavens and the people!"
What Luo Liang said, that the tiger demon occupying Lion Ridge had never harmed the people, was complete nonsense. Not long ago, under the leadership of Zhang Chengyong, she walked almost all over Lion Ridge. During the walk, she inquired in detail about the specific situation of the tiger demon occupying Lion Ridge.
Zhang Chengyong only said a few words, because according to him, most of the people who have seen the tiger demon have become its meal and never returned.
How could Luo Liang have the nerve to say that the tiger demon that occupied Lion Ridge had never harmed humans?
As for Luo Liang saying these words as soon as he came out of the side room to defend the tiger demon, it was most likely that he had a breakdown in talks with the newly appointed Lion Ridge Mountain God in his sleep and came here deliberately to put pressure on Zhang Deben.
So that Zhang Deben would agree to his request!
Come to think of it...
If it weren't for what she said to Li Ping when she left not long ago, Zhang Deben might have agreed to Luo Liang's unreasonable request.
She knew Zhang Deben's situation very clearly. Although she didn't know how Zhang Deben became the mountain god of Lion Ridge, Zhang Deben was just an ordinary hunter when he was alive. He only hunted ordinary beasts. How could he have the ability to hunt monsters?
Not to mention that after death, without the authority of the mountain god, even a ghost with the title of mountain god cannot display even one percent of the abilities he had in life.
The people I know are probably ordinary humans, otherwise they wouldn’t have come to the county government to ask for help.
Zhang Deben and the people he knows are unable to deal with the tiger demon that occupies Lion Ridge. Not being able to become the mountain god of Lion Ridge is a small matter. The real concern is that the tiger demon that occupies Lion Ridge is likely to devour Zhang Deben's soul.
If she hadn't shown up, no matter how outrageous the conditions Luo Liang offered, it was not for the purpose of successfully becoming the mountain god, but just to survive.
They would all agree to Luo Liang’s outrageous conditions!
"Yu Baihu..."
Luo Liang was about to speak and continue to persuade Yu Die, but before he could finish his words, he saw Yu Die's expression and swallowed the words back, and changed his words:
"Captain Yu, have you seen the new Lion Ridge Mountain God before me, or did you have someone bring a message to the new Lion Ridge Mountain God?"
"Luo Xianguan, I don't understand what you mean by that!"
Yu Die said with a smile.
"No wonder!"
Luo Liang snorted coldly. Only then did he understand that Zhang Deben was a helpless mountain god whose life could be in danger if he was not careful - no, he didn't even have the chance to reincarnate.
How dare you be so tough in front of him just now!
He originally thought that Zhang Deben was ignorant and fearless, so he was prepared to give him some time to wake up. Then he would understand that even though his conditions were harsh, they were nothing compared to successfully becoming a mountain god.
Not to mention……
If he failed and was found by the tiger demon, not only would he not be able to become the mountain god of Lion Ridge, he would also lose the chance to be reincarnated.
Yu Die smiled and said, "Xianguan Luo, you are the Xianguan of Qingyang County. If you really ignore the monsters that harm the people, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the court?"
"You don't need to worry about this matter!"
Luo Liang's face turned cold. He didn't like centurions like Yu Die in the first place. He had no skills but rose to prominence by relying on his status and background. Now he was even ruining his good deeds. How could he not feel resentful? He said, "You are right. I am the Immortal Official of Qingyang County. I am responsible for handling matters involving gods and ghosts. If I can't solve them, I will report them to the court and ask the court to send an expert to handle them.
Captain Yu, you are not from Qingyang County, let alone a member of the Qingyang County Demon Suppression Division. I advise you not to worry too much about Qingyang County's affairs.
and.
I am very worried. If something happens to you, Yu Baihu, in Qingyang County, I cannot afford it. Otherwise, Yu Baihu, you should leave here first!"
"Xianguan Luo, thank you for worrying about my safety, but since I joined the Demon Suppression Division, I have not taken my own safety to heart!"
Yu Die smiled, and just as she finished speaking, she saw Luo Liang opening his mouth to say something, so she spoke first:
“As for what you said, Luo Xianguan, I am not from the Qingyang County Demon Suppression Division, nor am I from the Fengyin County Demon Suppression Division. What you said is true, but Luo Xianguan, you may not know too much about our Demon Suppression Division.
I forgot that besides the Demon Suppression Division within my jurisdiction, there is another Demon Suppression Division!"
"Another kind of demon-suppressing division..."
Luo Liang was stunned at first, then reacted, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Yu Die with a look of surprise and suspicion. He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said in a bad tone:
"Captain Yu, do you really want to take care of this matter?"
The Demon-Suppressing Division.
Under the division of the imperial court, every Demon Suppression Division has a branch in every place, and the jurisdiction area is clearly divided. The Demon Suppression Divisions in other places generally will not meddle in the affairs of other Demon Suppression Divisions.
after all.
If people from the Demon Suppression Department from other places come to solve the problems in the area under his jurisdiction and report it, the credit will go to others and he will lose face, and it will also affect the court's funding.
Under all circumstances, no matter where the Demon Suppression Bureau is, it will not allow people from the Demon Suppression Bureau in other places to meddle in other people's affairs.
but.
It was surprising that there were people in the Demon Suppression Division who were qualified to enforce the law across regions, and these people were from the Demon Suppression Division who came from the capital.
They are all the proud children of the Demon Suppression Division!
Different from most Demon Suppression Divisions that select personnel locally, the one in the capital does not select talents. Instead, all places recommend their talents, and the pass rate is less than 1%.
It can be said.
Everyone in Jingcheng Town Demon Division is a genius among geniuses.
"If you have the ability, I can naturally ignore it!"
Yu Die said calmly.
"Good, good, good..."
Luo Liang wanted to say something harsh, but when he thought that if Yu Die really came from the capital, she was definitely not someone he could afford to offend, he said expressionlessly:
"Then leave this matter to Captain Yu. I have something to do. I'll leave first!"
