Chapter 196 The devil enters the city
Anning Mansion.

On January 1st, the Spring Festival arrives as scheduled.

Boom~~
At dawn, a loud bang woke up everyone inside and outside the city.

"Oh, oh, what the hell!"

In a room in the restaurant, a fat businessman fell off the bed, and then his panicked round face appeared from under the table.

Hear his scream.

A servant quickly came to the door and explained through it.

"Sir, this is our Spring Festival celebration, it's called firecrackers."

"Damn it, I come to Anning Mansion to do business every year, how come I have never heard of it before!"

The door slammed open and the fat, dishevelled businessman began to curse.

Many guests came out of their rooms, not caring about their appearance, and went out to watch the fun.

When the group arrived at the street, they saw a rumbling sound in the sky. Bright objects rose into the air and exploded, turning into rain of light. There were also things on the ground that made crackling sounds and emitted pungent green smoke.

"Is this a firecracker?"

Waving his hand to disperse the smoke, the fat businessman couldn't help but ask.

"On the day of the Three Yuan Festival, people get up at the crowing of cocks and set off firecrackers in the courtyard to ward off evil spirits. The reason why it is called firecrackers is that the sound is similar to the sound of bamboos exploding."

The man setting off the firecrackers laughed.

He was wearing the attire of a priest, which was mainly black and white. Behind him was a tripod representing the Qingnang Sect, and on his chest, at the position of his heart, was a WiFi icon.

The cuffs are painted with cloud patterns and the black boots are shaped like evil beasts, implying entering the underworld and reaching the ears of heaven.

All ceremonies related to the Spring Festival are performed by a group of priests in the temple.

"Can this thing also ward off ghosts?"

"That's right. This firecracker is a thunder and fire talisman. If you have some skills, you can see it by looking at the qi. After the firecracker burns, the heaven and earth are filled with masculine and righteous energy. Any evil demon or ghost will be reduced to ashes if they smell it!"

The priest said proudly.

As monks of the temple, they don't need to practice magic, they just need to study how to use talismans.

In order to ensure the smooth holding of the Spring Festival, many talismans were added to the temple, and the thunder and fire talisman that served as firecrackers was just one of them.

The original priests had little presence, and their welfare benefits were not the best among Chen Jing's direct industries. After the Demon-Slaying Bureau came out, it was directly reduced to an intelligence department.

The Spring Festival is coming to a head and it is a highlight. I feel proud of it.

“Can these firecrackers be sold?”

The fat businessman was immediately attracted.

They didn't know about the expansion of Tianyuan. They only knew that after the rebellion of Fengtian Sect, there was a year of peace, but then they started to make trouble again.

The gloomy place began to be haunted, and the wild beasts on the road that were easy to deal with suddenly grew a whole circle larger and turned into monsters.

There are also some evil practitioners who are bewitched by the whispers and practice evil methods.

As a businessman, he has suffered a lot of losses. Not long ago, he encountered an evil demon who could skin people and lost two trucks of goods.

"Firecrackers need to be used throughout the city for the best effect. If used alone, they can only temporarily scare away evil spirits. When the temple fair officially begins, go to the temple to pray for blessings and ask for a talisman. There are three types of talismans, and they are guaranteed to work."

The priest said, then bowed and said goodbye.

Walk to the other end of the street.

He raised his hand and scattered a piece of talisman, which exploded on the ground with a crackling sound.

"Don't mention it, it's so ethereal."

The fat businessman turned around and shouted, "Does any brother know when this temple fair will start?"

"Sishi!"

That is nine o'clock.

"It's so late, it's already dawn!" the fat businessman was surprised.

"People from other places don't know, right? Master Chen's rule is this: he doesn't use the twelve-hour clock, but uses one to twenty-four, called: nine to five, go to work and leave on time."

"It happened."

The fat businessman became more interested in the new gadgets here.

For now, in his impression, this Lord Chen is a man of generous character.

What business people love most is generous people.

Return to the accommodation and call your confidants.

Then he came to a room, and the joy on his face faded a little.

Lying on the bed was a pale young man, it was his son.

When encountering the skin-flaying demon, his son was frightened by the demon and has not recovered yet.

"Can you still walk?" "Father... my child, I suddenly feel a little unwell."

"Then take a rest. I will go out and get you a protective amulet."

……

the other side.

Ye Fan was wearing armor and a cloak, his feet sinking in the snow, wandering outside the city of Anning Prefecture.

"Hey, do you regret it?"

The tall and thin teammate in front suddenly spoke up.

"What regrets?"

"All the colleagues in the Demon Slayer Division are on leave, so we who have joined the Pillar Hall have to patrol everywhere. Look, they are setting off firecrackers inside. It must be very lively."

The tall and thin teammate said.

Ye Fan said calmly: "You are regretting it, and you are asking me."

"Alas, I didn't know that we wouldn't even have a day off. I've already made an appointment with my lover to visit the temple fair. Ye Fan, does your lover have an appointment with you?"

"I have an appointment."

The image of Wei Ning appeared in my mind.

"We are all miserable people..."

Teammates are complaining.

Suddenly, they both looked in the same direction at the same time, their expressions becoming serious.

Look at each other.

Each of them took out a talisman and activated it.

What Ye Fan took out was the 'early warning talisman' produced by the temple. When the talisman was activated, the nearest priest would receive a message and issue a first-level early warning notification to other members of the Demon Slaying Division in the surrounding area.

The tall and thin teammate took out a "detection talisman" that can sense negative spiritual energy.

Any negative evil spirits such as evil spirits, resentment, blood, etc. remaining in the surrounding area can be detected.

"problem occurs."

Tall and thin means having a focused look in the eyes.

"go?"

"Go, take the earth escape talisman and be careful of ambushes."

The two of them maintained a supporting distance from each other, constantly observed with the Qi-Watching Technique, and carefully headed towards the unusual location.

In front.

Soon, Ye Fan saw a piece of melted snow soaked with blood.

"Found."

"There's so much blood, I hope it's not human."

pity.

When the two got closer, they saw a skinned and beheaded human body.

"Owlhead Demon?"

"Flayer?"

The two of them each said a noun and looked at each other in surprise.

There are three extremely vicious demons on the list in the Demon Slaying Division. Among them is the Owl-Headed Demon, who has killed many disciples of the Demon Slaying Division. The remaining thoughts have even echoed in Ye Fan's nightmares, which he experienced once before.

The Flayed Demon is a recently emerged demon that peels off the skin of its victims.

immediately.

A priest rushed here and his expression changed slightly after seeing the corpse.

"You two will protect me. I will go to the Nightmare Realm to see if there are any remaining clues."

The priest sat there and fell into a dream.

Wherever you walk, you will leave traces.

This world is multi-dimensional yet integrated. Traces that cannot be seen in Jiuzhou may become very clear from the perspective of the outside world.

They tracked down many hidden demons in this way.

Not long after.

The priest regained consciousness and a blue gourd appeared in his hand. As soon as he opened his eyes, he looked anxious.

"Oh no! Demons have sneaked into the outer city!"
