Chapter 10 Young people have something
Zhou Dao was stunned.
Ever since he entered the Demon Control Division, he has kept a low profile, with almost no sense of presence except for work.
In fact, no one would notice a mere Demon Sealing Master.
He did not expect that Chen Qinggang not only recognized him, but also remembered that it had been two years since he entered the Demon Control Division.
"Is it exposed?"
The so-called guilty conscience of being a thief, Zhou Dao immediately thought of the possibility that he least wanted to happen.
"Half a year ago, when we rounded up and killed that mastiff demon, you and Liuli were the only ones who survived." Chen Qinggang seemed to have noticed his doubts and stopped what he was doing.
"It turns out it's because of this."
Zhou Dao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Half a year ago, that was the only time he encountered an evil-level high-level monster since he entered the Monster Control Division.
A dog turned into a monster and the whole village was harmed.
It is recorded in the "Work Manual of the Monster Control Division" that if dogs are not tethered, they will injure people over time, swallow their essence and blood, and become monsters over time.
Generally, it is difficult for dogs to turn into monsters, but there are exceptions. Once they hurt a person, they will remember the taste of human blood and feed on it. If they survive for thirteen years, they will definitely turn into monsters.
If the mountain spirit grass is swallowed again, the harm will be even greater and it can turn into a mastiff.
Half a year ago, the mastiff demon was as big as a newly grown tiger. Its fangs were like sharp knives, and its fur could not even be pierced by a sword or halberd.
At that time, the entire village was possessed by its evil spirit, and it was as if it was a living dead.
The mastiff regarded them as livestock that could be eaten at any time, and drank some of their blood every day.
Within half a month, no one came out of that village, and it seemed to be completely sealed off, so the Monster Control Division was alerted.
The situation at that time was somewhat similar to yesterday, but there was not such a big battle.
Only seven demon-slaying guards and two demon-sealing masters went there, but in the end only Zhou Dao and Lin Liuli survived.
"That woman...".
Thinking of the past, a beautiful figure appeared in Zhou Dao's mind, with a graceful figure swaying and a three-foot-high green peak.
"It was really lucky that time." Zhou Dao whispered without saying much.
"You're right. If that girl wasn't from the Lin family, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to repel that mastiff monster and save your life." Chen Qinggang said with emotion.
Half a year ago, when Lin Liuli first came to Ping'an Town, Zhou Dao knew that this woman's background was not simple.
The Lin family is a prominent family in the world, and it is said that Ping'an Town is its ancestral home, so disciples come every year to gain experience in the Demon Control Division.
Lin Liuli was indeed outstanding at that time. At only sixteen years old, she was already at the fifth level of the Refining Realm [Expelling Talisman and Transforming Evil]. However, this girl was unlucky and encountered that accident not long after she arrived.
"You should really thank the Lin family for escaping death." Chen Qinggang continued.
Zhou Daoqing groaned, and a trace of reminiscence emerged in his eyes.
I'm afraid only he knows the truth back then.
That was the first time since Zhou Dao entered the Monster Control Division that he truly saw the cruelty of this world and the danger of monsters.
"Idiot, move quickly, there's more than one mastiff demon!"
That time, Zhou Dao felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the village. When he warned him, it was already too late.
The bloodthirsty mastiff demon has not one, but three heads.
The wails of fear echoed over the mountain village. When Zhou Daoxun rushed over, only Lin Liuli was still struggling to hold on. The others had already lost their heads and were covered in blood.
Even the companions who were the Demon Sealing Masters also suffered misfortunes.
Human life has become worthless at this moment, and the once proud Demon-Slaying Guard is now just being eaten like food by those mastiff demons.
"Run quickly..."
When Lin Liuli was leaning on the three-foot green peak, swaying, and looking at Zhou Dao who was standing in front of him.
Surprise and eagerness appeared in those eyes blurred by blood.
"Stupid humans, a mere demon sealing master dares to come here to die."
The three-headed mastiff monster laughed ferociously.
For them, this is a rare feast, and the flesh and blood of the Demon-Slayer Guard is more delicious than that of ordinary people.
"Well, to be honest, I still like dogs." Zhou Dao sighed: "Especially hot pot."
Long sighs echoed among the mountain villages.
The next moment, a terrifying blood energy soared into the sky from Zhou Dao's body, as faint as a cloud of smoke.
At that moment, Lin Liuli covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
The three mastiff demons couldn't believe it.
In their eyes, the ordinary boy who looked like food seemed to have turned into a devil in the blink of an eye.
The awe-inspiring blood energy roars like a dragon or a tiger, vibrating endlessly, evolving into a military form.
"Six changes in the refining realm, thoughts form soldiers!"
The battle was silent. Apart from Zhou Dao, only Lin Liuli witnessed it.
Three mastiff demons, two died and one escaped. One of them was crushed to death by Zhou Dao without even a chance to be sacrificed.
After that accident, Lin Liuli left Ping'an Town.
She didn't say anything before leaving, but only glanced briefly and looked back at Zhou Dao with doubt, curiosity, awe and an indescribable brilliance in her eyes.
"It's rare that you survived the catastrophe and still managed to work in the Demon Collection Room."
Chen Qinggang's voice brought Zhou Dao back from his thoughts.
"I love this job." Zhou Daogan said with a smile.
To be honest, he loves shit, his salary is meager, he is dirty and tired, and he has to work overtime from time to time. In his previous life, 996 was already great, and he has to be on call 24 hours a day here.
If it weren't for the sacrifice of the ancestor, Zhou Dao would have given up long ago. Who would argue with you here?
"A gentleman is poor. Such a character is rare." Chen Qinggang said softly.
It's a pity that in this world, no matter how good your character is, it can't compare to your talent.
As arrogant and domineering as Xu Qian, arrogant and not taking anyone seriously, if he were in the previous life, Zhou Dao would have used his keyboard to turn him into a dead dog.
But in the Demon Control Division, Xu Qian was the White Feathered Demon-Slaying Guard, enjoying a generous salary and being respected by the common people.
"Do I need to transfer you to other departments?" Chen Qinggang suddenly asked.
There are not many young people who are so down-to-earth and willing to work quietly for the cause of eliminating demons and protecting Taoism.
"Damn it, you have nothing to do while riding a horse?" Zhou Dao shouted in his heart, but his face remained calm and he said calmly.
"Lord Du Wei, although the Demon Sealing Master is insignificant, I am willing to shine in this ordinary position."
"Sacrificing one's life for no one's own sake means no fame and no profit. It is extremely valuable!"
Chen Qinggang sighed again, couldn't help but stop what he was doing, and looked at Zhou Dao one more time.
The best is like water, being beneath everyone, not competing with all things, just like being taught by saints.
This young man named Zhou Dao has something.
"Work hard!"
As he spoke, Chen Qinggang lowered his head and continued to devote himself to his work.
Seeing this, Zhou Dao breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood aside and made his move. It must be said that as a guard, Chen Qinggang's method of dissecting and sealing demons was also very good, which was enough for Zhou Dao to learn a lot.
The day passed quickly, and the night filled the earth like a tide.
Ping'an Town faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day and became quiet.
Chen Qinggang is like a workaholic and seems to have no intention of stopping.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Zhou Dao frowned slightly and couldn't help but look outside the door.
