Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 15 The Impermanence of Things
Along the knife, cracks like spider webs appeared on the surrounding ground.
The black cat is timid, and the eighth grade is the eighth grade, and it cannot resist it.
The cat demon turned around and wanted to leave, but the heavy knife rose into the air and slashed straight at it.
"Meow..."
The black cat screamed and quickly avoided it.
But the sword energy of the long sword still struck it.
A bloody wound appeared on the cat demon's hind leg, and it stared at the village entrance with a hostile face.
There stood a cold and stern man, full of threats.
"Director Chen!"
Zhou Cheng raised his hand towards the cold and stern man.
"This is the elixir provided by the Great Zhou Dynasty for eighth-level warriors. You can take it." Chen Xuanfeng took out a bottle of elixir from his arms and threw it towards Zhou Cheng.
Then, Chen Xuanfeng looked at Lin Yi and said, "Were you charmed by a monster and then drained dry?"
Lu Jiuzhang almost spat out blood.
Why was it drained?
Lu Jiuzhang wanted to shout, I have always been upright and calm, how could I be tempted?
Of course, after thinking about it, Lu Jiuzhang didn't answer, so he acquiesced.
Otherwise, it would be unclear why the fox demon died.
Lu Jiuzhang didn't want his ninth-grade Confucianism and Taoism cultivation to be exposed so early.
Once the other party notices it, they will probably take action faster and find a way to get rid of themselves.
As for the mastermind behind the scenes, is it Chen Xuanfeng?
Lu Jiuzhang thinks there is a 90% chance.
Zhou Cheng's analysis was good. With so many monsters, it would be difficult for ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Division to eliminate them.
However, Chen Xuanfeng's help came late, which was probably intentional.
If you want to kill yourself with the hands of a monster, and then eradicate the monster, you will die without proof.
The cause of death of the eldest brother Lu Huaigu was probably the same.
But what Chen Xuanfeng didn't expect was that Lu Jiuzhang was pregnant with Kuixing Tower and had entered the first rank, so he wouldn't die so easily!
"There are two more monsters here. Please wait at the entrance of the village for a while, and then rush back to the Demon Slayer Department together after they are dealt with."
After saying these words, Chen Xuanfeng jumped into the depths of the village.
…
With the addition of an eighth-level martial arts master like Chen Xuanfeng, the remaining two monsters were quickly eliminated.
This time, a total of four ninth-level monsters were dispatched, and none of them were newbies to the ninth level, but those who had been immersed in the ninth level for many years.
What a grand gesture!
This is putting Lu Jiuzhang in a certain place of death!
And who is that woman in black robe?
Lu Jiuzhang didn't believe that she passed by here by chance and then extended a helping hand.
Where do so many coincidences come from in this world?
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, everyone walked out of the village one after another.
Most people were not injured, but were trapped in the village.
Only Lu Jiuzhang's team suffered a devastating blow.
Song Tao is dead!
He was carried out by someone, his face turned pale and black, and he was no longer breathing.
A living person has just disappeared. Yesterday we were listening to music together, but today he has become a corpse.
Death was so close to Lu Jiuzhang, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
After this failure, the next round of siege against him may not be far away.
Returning to the Demon Slayer Division, Chen Xuanfeng gave everyone a holiday.
Chen Xuanfeng did not reveal any obvious hostility towards Lu Jiuzhang.
The eight dead servants of the Demon Slaying Department paid some money to their relatives as compensation according to the regulations, so they got over it.
This is also the reason why these colleagues from the Demon Slayer Division did not visit Lu Huaigu after he died.
There is no need to visit. Maybe next time someone among them will die during the operation to suppress monsters. He may not be able to take care of himself, so why should he care for others?
For most people, life has to go on.
Demon-Slaying Guard Zhou Cheng lost an arm, and the compensation given by the Demon-Slaying Division was one hundred and fifty taels of silver!
The total amount of money compensated for the eight dead servants this time was 240 taels!
Eight lives cost 240. Zhou Cheng only had one arm for 150 taels of silver, which is equivalent to five lives!
This world is like this. Zhou Cheng is a high-level warrior, and an arm is more valuable than an ordinary person's life!
…
After returning to the Demon Slayer Division, Lu Jiuzhang's body recovered somewhat.
Although he is still a little listless, he can already walk on the ground.
Dragging heavy steps, Lu Jiuzhang arrived at Song Tao's home.
There is not much difference between this place and Lu Jiuzhang's home. They are both handymen in the Demon Slaying Department, and the two of them receive basically the same salary.
Lu Jiuzhang saw Song Tao's wife, who was an ordinary woman.
When she learned of Song Tao's death, she almost fainted from crying.
There was a child standing next to her, who was not familiar with the world and didn't know what his father's death meant. He was just standing next to his mother. It seemed that he wanted to persuade his mother not to be so sad, but he didn't know how to do so.
For Lu Jiuzhang, no amount of persuasion would be useless when encountering such a thing.
When a loved one dies, the family's financial resources are instantly cut off.
With the backbone gone, how can the family continue to live?
"Sister-in-law, I am Brother Song's colleague in the Demon Slaying Division. This is a little thought of mine." Lu Jiuzhang took out five taels of silver from his pocket.
"Ah...Master, how can I live without you..."
Lu Jiuzhang's response was still heart-wrenching cries.
After silently placing the money on the table, Lu Jiuzhang withdrew.
Things in the world are impermanent, including birth, old age, illness and death. What exactly do you want?
Lu Jiuzhang felt depressed and walked towards home.
When he was approaching the door of his home, Lu Jiuzhang saw a young girl standing in front of the door. She had two braids and coarse clothes, and she looked exactly like the girl next door.
"Chan'er, it's almost dark, why are you standing here? Go home quickly."
Lu Jiuzhang said.
It's so cold outside, don't let this girl freeze.
"I'm fine, Brother Lu. I'm just worried about your safety. I heard that people from the Demon Slayer Division went out to slay demons today, and someone died again." Zhao Chan'er said excitedly.
Seeing Lu Jiuzhang return safe and sound made her happier than anything else.
Changshui County is not a big place, so any little thing can spread quickly.
When the people from the Demon Slayer Division entered the city, so many eyes were watching. Lu Jiuzhang was not surprised that Zhao Chaner knew about it.
"Silly girl, how could something happen to my second brother? Don't worry."
Lu Jiuzhang touched Zhao Chan'er's head.
Lu Jiuzhang still has a good impression of this girl next door.
"Go home quickly, it's getting late!" Lu Jiuzhang warned.
"Erlang, are you back? Come to Auntie's house for dinner?"
Aunt Zhao opened the door opposite and warmly invited Lu Jiuzhang to come over for dinner.
"You damn girl, what are you doing standing outside? Let your second brother Lu come to our house to warm us up. We just added charcoal and the fire is going strong!"
After learning that Lu Jiuzhang had joined the Demon Slayer Division, his neighbor Aunt Zhao's attitude became better and better.
In the past, Zhao Chan'er would probably be scolded by Aunt Zhao even if she said a few words to Lu Jiuzhang, let alone standing in front of Lu Jiuzhang's house waiting for Lu Jiuzhang to come back! This chapter has been completed!
