I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 131: Getting to Work

"Uncle Zhang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I really think."

"If you don't feel anything, hurry home and have some milk tea. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Zhang Jinwu glared fiercely at Meng Qi, then at Wei Xiaole and Dongfang Shuo standing behind her, pointing at the three of them, "Just because you have a little ability doesn't mean you can be so great, does it? You even went to the Grand Canyon to surround and intercept them, and wiped out the demon's lair. Do you even know where the Grand Canyon is? Do you even know what the situation is? And you went with just three people? Huh?"

Meng Qi whispered, "We have navigation, we can find it."

Dongfang Shuo whispered, "I have a talisman."

Wei Xiaole looked at the two of them, wanting to say "I'll drive," but seeing his master's dark face, he opened his mouth silently but didn't dare to say anything.

"Alright, we'll take care of the rest of the cleanup. You three can go and rest."

"Master, I'll stay and help."

Meng Qi had no choice but to leave with Dongfang Shuo. Before leaving, the two of them winked at Wei Xiaole, who secretly gave them an OK sign.

Today's battle killed many demons. According to Gray Rabbit, they were all clearly heading towards the secret passage of Sanqing Temple, trying to leave here and return to the demon realm by some means, but unfortunately they failed.

So any demon who wants to go back should have arrived today.

Many died, but some escaped. Judging by the direction they were heading, they probably went back to the Grand Canyon.

That's why Mengqi said they should press their advantage and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

She had heard her master mention that the eighteen-bend secret passage seemed to have been formed by the laws of nature and could not be destroyed. In other words, the passage to the demon realm might open in the future.

After all, if the gray rabbit knew how to open the passage, it was hard to guarantee that the other demons didn't.

Just in case, wipe out all the demons currently existing in this world, and then focus on guarding the secret passage.

Of course, Meng Qi was so confident because she had a demon-revealing mirror.

She planned to give all the spirit crystals she had saved to the mirror, on the condition that it help her find all the demons.

Did you see the cat demon today?

Dongfang Shuo still couldn't forget the ghost cat. The main reason he wanted to go to the Grand Canyon was to catch this black cat that could create clones.

"I didn't notice, but I think it should be here. How could it not be involved in such a big event as returning to the demon realm? But this thing is too cunning. It's probably hiding in the back, secretly watching the situation, and will run away as soon as it sees things are not going well."

It's really possible.

"Sigh, such a good opportunity, why won't Old Zhang agree?"

Meng Qi winked at him, "How about we sneak off tomorrow?"

Dongfang Shuo was somewhat tempted. He asked, "Can you persuade Xiaole? I don't think he'll agree."

Wei Xiaole, being the team leader, placed great emphasis on rules and orders.

Furthermore, since Zhang Jinwu is his master, he probably wouldn't agree to act on his own before being persuaded to do so.

Meng Qi was a little discouraged. "Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow."

As Meng Qi passed by Meng Zichen's yard, she sniffed the air and peeked inside, just in time to see Meng Zichen sitting in the yard peeling potatoes.

"What are you cooking? It smells so good."

"You'll have to ask Xiaolong. He caught a bird bigger than an eagle, which I cooked into soup like a chicken. Come and have a bowl first, and I'll make you some salt and pepper potatoes later."

Meng Qi led Dongfang Shuo inside and introduced Meng Zichen to him, "This is my nephew, Pidan, oh, he's Meng Mingyue's father."

Meng Mingyue is Pidan's real name. Last month, the Qingzhou Special Training Camp recruited students, and Pidan successfully passed all the assessments. Now he has become a student in the third cohort of recruits for the special training camp.

Because of Meng Qi and Meng Ziyang, he got to know their entire group as soon as he entered the special training camp. When Dongfang Shuo heard Meng Qi mention his nephew, he looked at Meng Zichen's face, which was still relatively young but also close to thirty, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

I knew this girl had a high seniority in her family, but I didn't expect it to be this high.

So what should he be called?

Calling him "nephew" is definitely inappropriate, but not calling him anything at all would be too impolite.

While Dongfang Shuo was still hesitating, Meng Qi had already expertly gone to the kitchen to serve the soup.

Sitting in the yard peeling potatoes, Meng Zichen seemed to have read his mind and snorted, "Simply put, call me Uncle, understand?"

Dongfang Shuo had no choice but to call him "Uncle".

"Xiao Qi, where's Xiao Long?"

As long as they weren't in Yunmeng Village, Meng Zichen almost always called Meng Qi by her name.

"He was slightly injured and exhausted today, so he went to sleep at the bottom of the Jiaolong Pool."

Although the turtle wasn't very aggressive, it was an old turtle after all, experienced and cunning.

How old is Xiaolong?

This guy is strong but inexperienced. He was able to hold off the old turtle in Jiaolongtan because it was his own territory and he had Yu Qingge backing him up, so he was fearless.

It thought it was quite powerful, so it chased after the other creature when it ran away. Little did it know that it had driven the old tortoise to its limit and made it use its ultimate move, shooting out the tortoise thorn in its mouth, which injured the little dragon's tail.

Fortunately, Meng Qi arrived in time, and the turtle, seeing that things were not going well, quickly ran away.

"Are you injured? Is it serious?" Meng Zichen asked worriedly.

Meng Qi waved her hand, "It's alright, it'll be fine in a few days."

"Okay, I'll make him roast chicken when he's better."

At 8 p.m., Meng Qi and Dongfang Shuo returned to their residence after finishing their dinner.

At this time, Zhang Jinwu had already reported the situation of the Sanqingshan secret passage to Xia Yunsong and the provincial authorities, and also applied for the clearing of the Grand Canyon.

He took Meng Qi's words to heart, and with his apprentice Wei Xiaole's persuasion, Zhang Jinwu was honestly quite tempted.

If it weren't for the need to guard Sanqing Mountain, he would have wanted to lead these kids in and charge in.

However, there are also troops stationed there, belonging to different jurisdictions, and their people need permission from the other side to enter.

However, thinking about the demons that had silently rushed over, Zhang Jinwu, with his fiery temper, couldn't help but rage, "Guarding the entrance and exit and still letting so many demons come over, what's the point of guarding? If it weren't for Lao Xia's timely dispatch of Wei Xiaole and the other two, I, Zhang, would be dead."

The provincial government was also dissatisfied with the troops stationed at the Grand Canyon and called Kyoto to demand their replacement. The task of encircling and suppressing the troops at the Grand Canyon was assigned to Lin Qingquan.
The above series of actions were naturally unrelated to Meng Qi and the others. After the three met up and whispered for a while, they decided to leave Qingshui Town the next day, heading towards the Grand Canyon while searching for the demon.

Amidst the shocked expressions of Wei Xiaole and Dongfang Shuo, Meng Qi took out her demon-revealing mirror.

"How...how did you get this?"

Dongfang Shuo was incoherent. Even though his Dongfang family was a major Xuanmen family and had more well-preserved ancient books than other families, none of them recorded such a heaven-defying thing as the Demon-Revealing Mirror.

I've only seen it on TV, but isn't that just made up?
Meng Qi ignored him and tapped the demon-revealing mirror with her finger in front of the two of them, "Get to work."

Two eyes suddenly appeared on the pure, smooth mirror surface, with lifelike eyelashes fluttering twice, making Dongfang Shuo and Wei Xiaole's hair stand on end and their backs break out in a cold sweat.

The eyes met Meng Qi's gaze for a few seconds before slowly disappearing, and then a picture quickly appeared inside.
A little earlier today.
