Lord of the Night

"Safety!"

Everyone roared in unison.

They looked at each other, and there was a sincere word "treasure" in everyone's eyes.

Quietly, they each went to take separate shifts.

Fang Che turned around and entered his office with a gloomy face, closing the door gently.

In this independent space, I raised my head and sighed softly.

All safe.

he said silently.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a gentle knock on the door.

The person who knocked on the door hesitated, knocked once, and then knocked very softly the second time and the third time.

"Enter!"

The door opens.

Tang Zheng walked in with a embarrassed look on his face: "Hello, Deputy Hall Master Fang."

"Tang Zheng."

Fang Che gathered his thoughts and smiled: "Sit down, we are old partners, why are we so reserved? Sit down. As for deputy hall leader, just call me Mr. Fang as before."

"...Mr. Fang."

Tang Zheng tried hard to relax, but he still couldn't let go. He bowed slightly and said, "Well, I don't have anything else to do. I just want to come and see you. The pills you gave me are all very good." ,me……"

Fang Che smiled and said: "If you come to me today for anything, just ask. Don't hide it, you also know me. I will do everything I can. If I can't, it's useless to talk."

Tang Zheng chuckled, scratched his head, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

"What?" Fang Che's eyes narrowed.

"This is my... report on applying to become an official deacon. It needs your... approval, Mr. Fang."

Tang Zheng nodded and bowed, and said, "Mr. Fang, look, this..."

Looking at this man who nodded and bowed, there was humility on his face and prayer and hope in his eyes.

Fang Che suddenly felt warm in his heart.

This is a time of real crisis.

Only I teach the dream demon.

If they really encountered it, it was unknown how many people guarding the hall would survive.

But this guy, who has always been cowardly and afraid of death, submitted an application to become an official deacon at this time.

"Becoming a deacon at this time?"

Fang Che pressed the application with his hand and said calmly: "If you don't become a deacon, you can stay in the hall and continue to do odd jobs. There is no danger!"

"When you become a deacon, you must schedule shifts, go out to perform tasks, or face death."

"Have you thought it through?"

Tang Zheng's eyes shrank instinctively, but he still mustered up the courage: "Yes, I have thought about it clearly."

He said seriously: "Mr. Fang, don't think I am afraid of death, but my ideal since I was a child is to be a guardian. I have always dreamed of it. But as I grow up, I don't know why, and I am getting more and more... It’s because I’m timid, I tremble when I see blood, I hide when I see a fight, and I don’t dare to kill anyone. I practice hard every day, but I don’t dare to take action.”

"I am extremely disappointed with myself; but I just can't muster the courage. I have scolded myself for being cowardly a thousand times and sworn countless times, but when the time comes, I still dare not kill even a chicken when I return to my house. .”

"It wasn't until I grew up that I sealed away my dreams and admitted the fact that I was a loser; I knew that I would never be a guardian in this life; so I desperately begged my brother-in-law to leave. I came to the main hall to make a living. But my family is actually quite wealthy, and I can’t make much money here."

"At that time, I just thought, if I can't become a guardian, then I can do something related to the guardians, even if I serve them tea and water. But after I came here, people became lazier and lazier. Sometimes In my midnight dreams, when I think back to my former self, I will scold me for being childish.”

"Until Mr. Fang came... Although you were a guardian, you showed me what a real guardian is."

Tang Zheng's eyes shone with eagerness as he said, "Mr. Fang, you are a true guardian!"

"For a long time, I have been thinking that if I can't become a guardian, then I can become a guardian like Mr. Fang. However, a guardian must at least reach the position of deacon. For someone like me, , can only be regarded as the staff guarding the main hall, but cannot be called the guardians."

"So my goal has changed. I want to become a deacon. Mr. Fang, I have been working hard for half a year."

"Until recently, I have broken through to the second level of military commander. And now... although I am still timid, I will not hide when I encounter a fight. I, I..."

Tang Zheng suddenly puffed up his chest and said, "I even killed seven chickens with my own hands at home this morning!"

"I know people will laugh at me if I say it, but... this is the first time that I, Tang Zheng, have killed any living thing. Before this, I didn't even dare to kill fish. The ones I killed the most were mosquitoes and even cockroaches. I'm scared..."

Fang Che smiled warmly.

There was no hint of ridicule.

Tang Zheng looked at Fang Che's smile, but his eye circles suddenly turned red.

From Fang Che's smile, he felt deeply understood.

This understanding made his heart warm.

"How does it feel to kill a chicken?" Fang Che asked with a smile.

"The first one was scared; when he saw chicken blood flowing out, he trembled; his hands were shaking."

Tang Zhengdao: "When I killed the second and third ones, I was still a little scared, but I got a lot stronger. By the seventh one, I could keep my expression calm, but my heart was still pounding."

Fang Che laughed sincerely and said, "Congratulations. Tang Zheng, you defeated yourself."

With just such a sentence, Tang Zheng suddenly choked up: "Thank you, Mr. Fang."

"People have to go through too many battles in this life. But the most difficult battle is to defeat yourself!" Fang Che said gently: "Everyone who can defeat themselves is a warrior."

"Overcoming your own cowardice, overcoming your own inertia, overcoming your own physical limits, overcoming your own luck, overcoming everything before you... is a warrior. Tang Zheng, you have taken the first step."

He picked up Tang Zheng's application, placed it in the most conspicuous place in front of him, and said with a smile: "I will discuss your application with the hall master and sign it. I believe that you will become a true guardian. , you will even become a real guardian in the future!"

"I'll sign it any day!"

Fang Che said: "Tang Zheng! Work hard!"

Then he said firmly: "From today on, you can go patrolling the streets."

"yes!"

Tang Zheng agreed loudly and excitedly, and saluted with all his strength. Face glowing!

"Thank you, Mr. Fang."

Watching Tang Zheng open the door and leave, Fang Che couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Tang Zheng's current cultivation level is enough, but his courage is not enough, but Fang Che is willing to give him recognition.

During such a long period of time, Tang Zheng had seen all his performances and all his progress.

He believed that as long as Tang Zheng took another step forward in his courage, he would be a truly qualified deacon.

A truly qualified defender!

The defenders do not need to have high martial arts skills, but they must be able to handle ordinary matters with force.

The most important thing is to have great love in your heart!

…

Tang Zheng went out, his face glowing red. Facing everyone's teasing questions, he announced loudly and proudly: "I can patrol the streets independently!"

Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter: "Congratulations!"

Tang Zheng was surrounded by everyone, his face was full of glory, and he kept raising his hands to express gratitude.

Originally, when Tang Zheng went out to patrol the streets, he had to act as a deputy or assistant to others. He did not have the power to manage the area alone and could only help other deacons.

Therefore, everyone knows better than anyone else what independent street patrols represent.

Jing Xiuyun smiled and said, "Tang Zheng, you have to behave well; you are here today thanks to Mr. Fang, and you must not forget Mr. Fang in the future."

Tang Zheng grinned widely, but said seriously, "In this life, Mr. Fang will always be my idol and my benefactor!"

He solemnly said: "Let's rebuild again!"

Everyone's faces became serious.

The four words "En Tong Re-creation" are not spoken casually.

However, thinking about the almost "reborn" changes that Tang Zheng had undergone during this period since Fang Che's arrival, they couldn't help but secretly nod.

Everyone was a witness to Tang Zheng's growth.

Everyone said sincerely: "Tang Zheng, work hard!"

"Ok, I will!"

…

Fang Che was in the office, suppressing the emotions raging in his heart.

Take out the communication jade and communicate with the Five Spirit Gu.

Send a message to the Yin Shen Palace: "Master, my vacation is over and I have returned to the guard hall; moreover, my position and level have been promoted. I am now the chief deacon of the Baiyunzhou guard hall and concurrently the deputy leader of the war hall."

"Congratulations to Mr. Fang on his promotion." Yinshen Palace sent congratulations.

"Master, please stop teasing me. I haven't been promoted in Yixinjiao yet, but I have jumped up several levels here." Mr. Fang took the opportunity to start asking for an official.

Yin Shen Palace's face doesn't look good.

This guy is probably an official fan.

You need to be promoted every now and then, can you think of anything else besides this?

"The holiday is quite enjoyable, isn't it?" Yinshen Palace asked, changing the subject.

"It's very cool. I've been back to Bibo City in ten days."

Fang Che said: "At home, I kowtowed to my mother with Yemeng, saying that it was Master who arranged the marriage. My mother also said that she wanted to meet you and thank you in person."

Yinshen Palace's expression became complicated and he said: "It's not convenient for me to go to your family's side. For your family's side, just let them develop step by step. Don't change anything on purpose."

"Okay. I will listen to Master."

"Pay attention to the safety of the family, and I will help you keep an eye on it."

"yes."

"Is there anything else? The remaining people may arrive this afternoon. But you have to train this group of people well. I took a look and found that they are indeed a bit mixed." When Yinshen Palace said this , I felt a little hot on my face.

Think about the awesomeness you boasted about.

Look at this group of people now.

This is so damn simple!

"ah?"

Fang Che screamed: "Master, you can't do it, can you? If it happens again like the previous batch, the disciples will be really dumbfounded. If the client sees such an escort, it would be nice if he doesn't immediately scare the shit out of him. How dare you put the goods in their hands?"

Yinshen Palace coughed and wanted to say that this group of people was worse than the previous group.

But I’m embarrassed to say it.

I'm afraid I can't escape the charge of cheating my apprentice.

"Anyway, just do your best. You can train the demons in the headquarters, let alone the ones in this sect." Leader Yin encouraged.

"The chief teacher killed those here... Do I have to kill the ones we taught..."

Fang Che felt extremely resentful: "Master, what are these people like?"

Yinshen Palace sighed: "Kill if you have to. It doesn't matter. Master will give you another batch after killing them."

"...Master, what you said makes me feel completely lost."

Yin Shen Palace directly talked about it.

"Have some snacks and do your best."

"I can't take it seriously... Hey, Master, I've been guarding the main hall for two days and two nights and haven't gone home. I'm very busy. Something big happened here, and I can't even get through to the escort agency."

Yinshen Palace was suddenly surprised and asked hurriedly: "What's the big deal?"

"This place was attacked by dream demons, and 14,000 to 5,000 people died in Baiyun Continent. Moreover, Bai Ping Continent and Bai Xiang Continent also received news, and there are also similar phenomena. Now the entire southeast is on alert again, and no one is We are ready to go home, all staff are on duty and ready to respond at any time.”

"Hey, things are really going on in Baiyun Continent right now. I just came back and I was immediately in a mess."

Fang Che started his real purpose.

"Incubus?"

Yin Shen Palace's face became solemn: "Master Dream Demon went to Baiyun Continent?"

"yes."

"Then you have to be careful."

Yin Shen Palace said: "Senior Dream Demon must have just woken up and needs to absorb the true spirit energy of the dream. It is estimated that many people will die during this period of time."

"ah?"

Fang Che hurriedly typed: "Disciple, let me howl first. Why did Senior Dream Demon choose Baiyun Continent? He couldn't choose anywhere else. Besides, I just woke up. Why don't you rest well in the head teacher? What are you doing here? Master, you just woke up. What means?"

Yin Shen Palace finally got rid of the topic of 'the new escort chief who deceived his apprentice' and said: "According to legend, around three thousand years ago, Lord Dream Demon mastered the Great Dream God Skill and sneaked into the Guardian Continent, preparing to plot against the Eastern Military Advisor and kill him in his dream. The highest level of the guardian. But for some reason, the Eastern Military Advisor counterattacked after entering the dream, directly shattering the dreams and dream heart of Lord Dream Demon, and the Great Dream Divine Art backfired, and Lord Dream Demon had a dream for three thousand years."

"Since he appeared in Baiyun Continent and took his life in his dream, it seems that Lord Dream Demon has woken up."

Yin Shen Palace said: "However, a battle of this level should have little to do with you, a small deputy hall guarding the main hall."

Fang Che replied: "Yes, I do want to do meritorious service, but unfortunately I can't catch Mr. Dream Demon and do meritorious service. The meritorious service would be too great."

Yin Shen Palace laughed loudly: "What a beautiful thought. Now that Lord Dream Demon wakes up, his nightmare will also wake up. Only two nightmare guards are enough to raze your Baiyun Continent to the ground."

"Then it's better for the disciple to stay away from him and pray that he doesn't encounter his old man when performing tasks."

"Well, it should be fine. Lord Dream Demon should be focusing on recovering his strength now. You just need to be on guard against the Celestial God Sect. Lord Dream Demon will probably not take action against you, and it is said that Lord Dream Demon is not very powerful; His most powerful skill is the Great Dream Magic; it is said that he can make the opponent fall asleep instantly and kill people silently."

"Master, the Celestial Sect? Why is there still something going on with the Celestial Sect?"

"Since Lord Dream Demon has arrived in the southeast, he must have come here with a goal; and here in the southeast, the Heavenly God Cult bandits came to power because they were ingratiating themselves with one of Lord Dream Demon's nightmare guards... In other words, that is The Celestial Sect has the backing and support of the head church.”

"Master Dream Demon has been sleeping for so many years, and the strength of the faction has been seriously damaged; and the Tianshen Cult bandits in the southeast are also somewhat unable to stand up, and they have been falling behind Hai Wuliang and me, and their status is even lower than Guan Shandu. That's it. to this end."

"But then again, if Lord Dream Demon is awake, he alone cannot rely on this kind of relationship."

As he spoke, the Yin Shen Palace became worried and said: "But Lord Dream Demon came out of the mountain this time, and the Celestial God Sect suddenly straightened up. If we can seize the opportunity this time and help Master Dream Demon recover, I am afraid that our status will be detrimental to us." Any teaching can have an impact."

Fang Che said disapprovingly: "No matter how high the Heavenly God Sect is, it is worthy of comparison with our Yixin Sect."

"This idea of ​​yours is unacceptable. The Tianshen Sect has been dormant for so many years, recuperating; the strength of the sect is really not weak, and there are many masters."

"And because the Celestial Sect is dormant, even I don't know where their chief rudder is."

"Since Lord Dream Demon has come to the southeast this time, he will definitely settle down in a densely populated area. Once he settles down, the Heavenly God Cult Bandit and others will definitely follow him. This power cannot be compared to your ability to guard the main hall."

"You have to be careful. Don't get into trouble; the horrors of ancient demons like Lord Dream Demon are beyond your imagination!"

"Yes, Master."

Fang Che rolled his eyes and said, "Then I'll just do it superficially and do it perfunctorily."

The Yin Shen Palace was still a little worried and said: "Our Yishin Cult branch is now a well-known figure among the head teachers. It is not unusual for Lord Dream Demon to come to him. No matter what, you must keep a low profile during this period of time."

"yes."

Communication is down.

Fang Che sat on the chair and frowned.

Yin Shen Palace revealed a lot of news to him.

But it can be seen from the news from Yin Shen Palace that this incident is extremely serious.

Dream demons, nightmares, and the Celestial Cult.

Moreover, people will definitely continue to die, and the number will definitely not be small!

Because the dream demon needs the true spirit of the dream to recover.

But the dream demon killed so many people yesterday, and their bodies were all burned. I don’t know how much true spirit can be absorbed.

But no matter how much, it is definitely not enough.

Next, there will be a large number of dead people in the southeast area.

If the dream demon is not eliminated, if he continues to exist, it would not be unusual for him to turn the seven southeastern continents into ghosts and wipe out more than a billion people in his sleep.

Then he remembered something and rushed out in a hurry.

"Everyone gather!"

"brush!"

Suddenly everyone gathered together: "I forgot one important thing. Since the dream demon has appeared, and we are currently just searching for so many corpses in the city, what about the villages and towns outside the city, what about the mountain villages? Where about the manors?"

"How many more people died? Were the bodies burned?"

"Scatter out, disperse outside the city! Hurry up and get it done."

"yes!"

More than 200 people dispersed in an instant.

Tang Zheng also followed.

Fang Che himself hurried out after speaking to Yuan Jingjiang.

Yuan Jingjiang hurriedly went to report to the palace master.

Song Yidao also suddenly remembered that he was busy in the city and his energy was always tense, so he actually ignored the outside of the city, and his expression changed for a moment.

Urgent mobilization.

As expected, there was also a catastrophe outside the city.

In some villages, not even a single person was left alive.

As the people guarding the hall arrived, piles of fires continued to rise into the sky. Those were all the corpses being burned in the name of the plague.

In the middle of the night, when everyone came panting to count the numbers, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Sixteen thousand?"

Fang Che's eyes widened, his voice trembled, and his face turned pale: "Are you sure the statistics are correct?"

"No! Although each village has a small population and is not concentrated, it cannot hold many people... There are thousands of nearby villages, and there are also many large-scale small towns..."

Everyone's expressions were extremely serious.

"Overnight, just Baiyun Continent, 30,000 people... just disappeared!"

Fang Che felt his heart aching, and tears finally burst out of his eyes.

"Mr. Fang, look!"

Zhao Ying'er pointed in the direction of the fire with a look of horror.

I saw amidst the countless fires, there were still pieces of faint light and shadow rising into the sky.

It was like the night sky was suddenly filled with countless fireflies!

That is the true spirit of the dream being absorbed and gone.

"Is it past midnight?" Fang Che turned around suddenly.

"Passed." Everyone lowered their heads, their faces full of exhaustion and shame.

However, the entire Baiyun Continent is encountering dream demons, and the few people guarding the main hall are simply too busy.

"..."

Fang Che's eyes became bloody. The hour had passed, and the dream demon was recycling the true dream spirits. When these true dream spirits are taken back, they will nourish this big devil.

Make this devil even more terrifying!

"Golden-horned dragon! Swallow as much as you can!"

Fang Che's eyes were blood red and he gave the order in his mind.

It would rather be swallowed by the golden-horned dragon than let the true spirit return to the dream demon. However, the golden horned dragon tried to intercept and devour it, but was unable to do so.

Because these are not death energy at all!

It's not evil either.

I can only watch the dream spirit disappear into the sky.

Fang Che punched the hard ground, punching a hole directly.

"Incubus, where is this old bastard hiding?"

…

late at night.

Ye Meng was resting when he suddenly received information again.

Sent by that mysterious shadow.

There is news about the Dream Demon and the Celestial Sect.

I can't sleep at night because of my dreams, it's so serious!

So I edited it overnight and sent it out.

By the time Fang Che finally returned to Xianshi Residence, it was already early morning.

"Why haven't you come back these two days? Are you busy?"

Ye Meng asked: "Many people have died in the city these days."

A bowl of thick porridge was brought to me.

"Yeah, even though I was busy with this matter, everyone canceled their vacations. I just took the time to come back and talk to you, so as not to worry you." Fang Che drank a bowl tiredly. It was already early in the morning. After a while, it would be dawn. It's time to guard the main hall again.

"Be careful. Don't miss your family." Ye Meng said considerately.

"Know."

As the sky turned bright, Fang Che returned to the guard hall again. In the afternoon, he went out to patrol the streets again to see that the situation was stable for the time being. Then he left the team, changed his image, and went to the World Escort Agency.

You can't relax here either. Hundreds of demons here are equivalent to a huge bomb.

Anything that happens will make the current Baiyun Continent worse.
