Chapter 251: Acting as a Demon
[In your first year of practicing the art of performing demons, you learn to observe the movements of demons.]

[In the tenth year of your training in the art of acting as a demon, you began to try to imitate the movements of demons.]

[In your fiftieth year of practicing the Art of Demon Performing, you discovered that you could visualize the monsters on the Ten Thousand Monsters Picture, and you set your target of imitation on Zhu Yan.]

[In the 150th year of your cultivation of the Demonic Art, you have mastered a little of Zhu Yan's essence.]

[In the 470th year of your cultivation of the Demon Art, your progress in imitating Zhu Yan has reached 11%.]

[Name: Bai Yuan]

[Occupation: Monster Hunter, Sword Ghost, Boxer, Soul Cooker, Skin Painter]

[Skills: Blood-sweeping Tiger Sabre (proficient), Manggu Zhuha Kung (entry level), Demon Performing Kung (proficient), Soul Extraction (master), Soul Stealing Technique (master).]

[Strength Points: 0]

Bai Yuan raised his demon acting skills to the mastery level in one breath.

His eyes turned to the painting of light and shadow.

A monster with a monkey-like body, white head and red feet appeared before him. This was the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan.

The Ten Thousand Demons Map describes Zhu Yan as a very evil creature, and war will be mobilized when he is seen.

Wherever Zhu Yan sacrifices himself, there will be war. Zhu Yan is a magical beast that draws strength from war.

Bai Yuan was able to use a great demon like Zhu Yan as an object of visualization, all thanks to Zhou Siming.

If it weren't for the Map of Ten Thousand Monsters that Zhou Siming sent him, how could he find this kind of monster that had become extinct in ancient times.

The reason why he chose Zhu Yan was, of course, because Zhu Yan was good enough in fighting.

Who says that the Monkey family always produces masters who are good at fighting?

Strange memories flooded into Bai Yuan's mind.

His eyes turned red, and all he could see were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Skulls were piled up like a mausoleum, and there was nothing but blood.

The crazy killing intent made Bai Yuan's breathing gradually become rapid.

Now he just wants to kill as much as he wants.

at this time--

A soft voice sounded: "Brother Yuan?"

Xiao Qiaoniang woke up at some point and looked at Bai Yuan with some fear in her eyes.

She could not forget the terrifying look of Bai Yuan trying to bite someone just now.

"Could it be that Brother Yuan has practiced evil skills again?"

Xiao Qiaoniang looked at Bai Yuan, whose eyes gradually became clearer, and thought to herself.

She is now considered a martial arts master and is no longer the shallow-minded woman she used to be.

Looking back on the past, the Blood Tiger Sword that Yuan Ge'er practiced should have been an evil skill, and it should still be the case now.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath and forced a smile: "Sorry, I won't do it next time."

He still overestimated his willpower and was almost controlled by Zhu Yan's violent murderous intent.

He secretly warned himself that he must be extremely careful when practicing his magic skills next time.

Although his cheater likes to kill people, he doesn't want to become a monster who only knows how to kill.

Xiao Qiaoniang blinked her eyes and asked with a puzzled look: "Brother Yuan, why do you give me a very familiar feeling, but also make me a little scared?"

Bai Yuan groaned.

I think it should be because Qiaojie and Xiaoqing coexist, and the Teng Snake bloodline in Xiaoqing's body is in the same period as Zhu Yan, and the two sides are hostile, so there is such a feeling.

"nothing."

Bai Yuan touched Qiaojie's smooth back.

Seeing this, Qiaojie stopped worrying about it.

Qiaojie felt tired, so she continued to lie in bed.

Bai Yuan put on his clothes and pushed the door open.

Although he doesn't have to lead troops out, there are still many things he needs to deal with every day.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, a man who looked like an official was already waiting outside the door.

"Master Bai, Master Yang has something important to discuss with you."

Bai Yuan nodded: "I understand."

He immediately followed the official down the mountain and went to the Huanglongfu government office.

As soon as Bai Yuan saw Yang Fangyu standing in the lobby, he heard Yang Fangyu burst into laughter.

"Ah Yuan, this is good news, very good news."

Hearing this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but be curious about what good news could make Yang Fangyu so happy.

Yang Fangyu put his arm around Bai Yuan's shoulders.

"Zhang Huanchang died in the line of duty before, so the position of Chief Constable of Lingzhou Police Station has been vacant."

"Have you decided on the candidate?"

Bai Yuan asked back.

Zhang Huanchang went with the two of them to investigate the case of missing weapons, but was murdered by Niu Cheng. Since then, the position of chief constable of Lingzhou Police Station has been vacant.

Yang Fangyu smiled mysteriously: "Do you want to know who it is?"

"Don't be pretentious."

Bai Yuan rolled his eyes.

"That's you."

Yang Fangyu pointed at Bai Yuan.

"I?"

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows. This was a bit unexpected.

You know, the Demon-Slaying Guards and the Patrol Office are both extremely important official positions in the Lingzhou government, and they have always been commanded by two people to prevent excessive power.

But now Bai Yuan is about to take on two jobs at the same time.

Yang Fangyu: "The news is reliable. The document from the Ministry of Personnel will be delivered to Lingzhou soon. It is of the fifth rank. Tsk, tsk, don't you think it's a good thing?"

Bai Yuan nodded.

The power of his fifth-rank rank is even higher than that of Yang Fangyu, the prefect of Huanglong Prefecture. He can even be said to be the strongest fifth-rank rank.

This old man Du Qinghui is really good. Bai Yuan wondered if he had a connection with the old man.
Three days later.

Just as Yang Fangyu said, the documents from the Ministry of Personnel were indeed delivered to Huanglong Mansion.

This time, it was an official from the Ministry of Personnel who came, not the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department.

In fact, most of the official appointments and dismissals were done by documents sent by officials from the Ministry of Personnel. Bai Yuan had benefited from Yuan Dingcai's help last time, so he was able to use the imperial edict.

Only officials of the third rank and above are eligible for such treatment.

Bai Yuan was able to enjoy some glory in advance.

This deputy minister of the Ministry of Personnel was exceptionally honest. Bai Yuan originally wanted to send him some elixirs, but was sternly rejected, so Bai Yuan had to give up.

After receiving the appointment document from the Ministry of Personnel, he, a fifth-rank general and chief constable, began to take up his duties.

Lingzhou, whether human or demon, is now ruled by him alone.

Lingzhou, the provincial government.

"Kuidong seems to be making some moves."

Jiang Changping had a serious expression.

He had already learned that the Zhenbei Army was going to have a decisive battle with the Beiyuan Demon Sect. Lingzhou had been secretly preparing supplies and was even ready to become the front line once Dingzhou City was breached.

Du Qinghui listened expressionlessly, without any emotion at all.

For a strong man of his level, the only person in the whole Lingzhou who deserves his attention is the Beiyuan Iron Tower.

Kuidong is too strong, so he has to deal with him carefully.

Kuidong's decision to go north during this period of time was obviously premeditated.

Dong Wanjun sat steadily in the chair, waiting for Du Qinghui's deployment.

There was silence in the hall for a long time, and Du Qinghui finally spoke: "Mobilize troops, surround and kill."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Changping was shocked.

The Zhenbei Army and the Demon Sect have not yet started the decisive battle, but Lingzhou has taken the lead in starting the decisive battle.

Dong Wanjun stood up slowly: "Yes!"

Before he finished speaking, he walked out of the lobby in a swift and decisive manner. Seeing this scene, Jiang Changping sighed in his heart.

Du Qinghui started the decisive battle. Anyone in Lingzhou could die, including him.

Originally, he had the idea of ​​persuading him, but he finally gave it up. Soon his eyes became firm again, and he followed Dong Wanjun out of the lobby to prepare for the battle.

Finally, Du Qinghui was the only one left in the lobby, sitting on the armchair with a gloomy expression on his face.

The secret letter he received yesterday came to his mind.

The emperor sitting high on the throne has gradually lost his patience.

"Diverted?"

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu both frowned when they saw the news.

According to the news from Lingzhou, a section of the official road in Lingzhou was blocked by an earth dragon, and civilians have been mobilized to clear it. However, the Zhenbei Army's food and fodder cannot stop, so it was decided to temporarily change the route.

And this time the route change happened to involve Huanglong Mansion, so Yang Fangyu was ordered to send troops to clear the way and guard it to prevent the strong men of the Demon Sect from attacking the grain transport team.

As the chief constable of the police station, Bai Yuan was naturally involved in this matter.

Therefore, Jiang Changping ordered the two of them to head north immediately.

Yang Fangyu frowned.

The war in the north was already urgent, and now something like this is happening, it's really like adding insult to injury.

However, since the provincial government has issued an order, he and Bai Yuan can only obey.

That night.

Bai Yuan first said goodbye to Qiaojie, and then took the musket team, Yang Fangyu and the masters of the government office to rush to the location after the route was changed.

As soon as daybreak came, they arrived at the agreed location.

Opening up an official road is extremely labor-intensive. Now that the official road has been destroyed, the grain transport team can only take the mountain road.

The monsters and demons in Beiyuan are hiding in the deep mountains, so the danger is undoubtedly greatly increased.

This is also the reason why Jiang Changping ordered Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu to come and supervise the transportation in person.

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu saw from afar a huge convoy of dozens of horse-drawn carriages.

As they walked in, a young general came to greet them.

"Are you Lord Bai and Lord Yang?"

"exactly"

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu spoke at the same time.

The young general's face lit up: "Very good, very good, I am the grain transport envoy this time, Liao Zhong."

"Master Liao."

Yang Fangyu clasped his fists.

Seeing that Liao Zhong is so young, he is most likely a student of the academy.

Unlike the other two religions, most students in Confucian academies will eventually serve as officials in the court. Most of them will become civil officials, but a small number will become military officers.

Liao Zhong: "The official road has been changed, and the mountain road is dangerous. From now on, I will trouble you two adults. There must be no mistakes in transporting grain."

Bai Yuan and Yang Fangyu nodded.

After Liao Zhong talked with the two men, he immediately returned to the convoy to take inventory and set off immediately.

After the three of them communicated on the road, Yang Fangyu realized that Liao Zhong was actually his junior fellow apprentice.

Liao Zhong was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Master Yang is also a student of Yingshan Academy?"

Yang Fangyu smiled slightly: "That's right, Master Zhou Yang is my disciple, Master Zhou, I wonder how Master Zhou is doing these days?"

"Master Zhou is very good, and the fellow disciples are very afraid of him."

Hearing this, both of them smiled knowingly.

There are many small circles in the Xuanyang court, and fellow students in the academy are undoubtedly the most widespread one among them. Just like the unique tacit understanding between the two of them, it can only be experienced by those who graduated from the same academy.

Yingshan Academy, as one of the four major academies in Xuanyang, has produced many high-ranking officials.

It is precisely because of this fellow-student friendship that students from all over the world flock to the four major academies.

With Yang Fangyu's help, the three of them gradually became familiar with each other.
