"Is it serious?"
Lu Ning's eyebrows sank. When he looked at it during the day, there was only a trace of demonic energy in the Demon Suppressing Hall.
However, the demonic energy is ten times stronger at night than during the day.
I don’t know if this has always been the case or if it was a sudden situation tonight.
"Do you know who is being suppressed in the Demon Suppression Hall?"
"No one in the Demon Suppression Division knows about it except Lord Sizheng."
"You never asked Mr. Si Zheng at home."
"I asked, but he didn't tell me."
Lu Ning glanced at Gu Wushuang speechlessly. The question was too direct, Master Sizheng would definitely not say anything.
Just as he was thinking about it, Si Zheng, Gu Fengtang, and Chen Hu and Zhang Chong came from a distance.
Lu Ning hurriedly went to find Bei Zhengsi's people.
Soon, he saw Wang Ding, Wei Feng, Sui Yun, Song Ge and others organizing the hundreds of households in Beizhengsi to stand up.
As for the ten hundred households under Gu Wushuang's command, Fang Yunzhan took the lead and lined up neatly.
"Go over there."
Lu Ning said and walked towards Bei Zhengsi's queue.
Gu Wushuang followed and quickly stepped forward to stand in a row with Wang Ding and others. Behind them were Baihu.
Lu Ning stood at the front, watching Lord Si Zheng approach.
Before Chen Hu and Zhang Chong also walked towards their queue, Zuo Hongchen had already arrived and was standing not far to the left of Lu Ning.
Another injured deputy director was lined up by a thousand households organization.
In a moment, thousands of people stood neatly in the square.
Staring at Si Zheng and Gu Fengtang at the front.
In fact, such a grand cremation and farewell ceremony is not often held.
After all, the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Department is a strong martial artist and rarely dies in the line of duty.
Although the general banner, school captain and others are low in strength, the cases they handle are also low in risk.
On the contrary, the people who died the most in the line of duty were the middle-level Qianhu or Baihu households of the Demon Suppression Division.
Gu Fengtang stared at the firewood and the items used by Yang Feng during his lifetime, and sighed.
Yang Feng's body was swallowed up by the demon in the Demon Sealing Cave. He originally wanted to go to the Demon Sealing Cave to check it out in person, but there were some changes in the Demon Suppressing Hall recently, which prevented him from leaving the Demon Suppressing Division.
"fire!"
After a long time, Gu Fengtang stretched out his hand and said.
Chen Hu handed the torch he had prepared to him. Gu Fengtang held the torch and threw it out with a wave of his arm.
The torch illuminated the darkness and clattered onto the firewood.
For a moment, the wood burned slowly.
"I am the demon suppressor."
“There should be fire in your heart.
"Ignite the darkness with your blood."
"Suppress the demons with your body."
"Protect the common people with your soul."
"There is an abyss of demonic sea ahead."
"I'm going too!"
"Lao Yang, you did it, go with peace of mind and leave the rest to us."
Gu Fengtang said in a deep voice, his voice sonorous and powerful, penetrating into everyone's heart.
Lu Ning had a solemn look on his face.
This was the first time he had heard these words. They might be an oath made by the Demon Suppressor to encourage the Demon Suppressor.
"Congratulations to Deputy Secretary Yang!"
When Chen Hu saw Gu Fengtang's voice fell, he gave a deep drink, sounding like a tiger's roar.
"Congratulations to Deputy Secretary Yang!"
Lu Ning and others held their heads high and shouted in a deep voice.
The simultaneous sounds were like a ray of light, breaking through the demonic energy above the Demon Suppressing Hall.
In an instant, the demonic energy was contained within the Demon Suppression Hall, with only a small amount floating outside.
In the square, the blazing fire illuminated everyone's resolute faces, as if they were coated with a layer of gold paper, making them look very solemn.
Until the last trace of fire burned out, the breeze blew, and the square was clean.
It was the first time for Lu Ning to participate in such a solemn ceremony, and she felt somewhat heavy.
He now somewhat understands that what Gu Fengtang did was not only to gather the demon-suppressing man's heart, but also to allow him to quickly integrate into it.
Think of yourself as a real demon slayer.
Do the work that this identity should do with care, responsibility, and responsibility.
Gu Fengtang turned around, glanced at Zuo Hongchen, and then at Lu Ning.
Maybe he knew about the argument between the two in the afternoon, but he didn't say anything.
"Deputy Secretary Yang died in the line of duty. I hope everyone will remember his fearless spirit."
"That's how the Demon Suppressor is. While enjoying the privileges of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he must also protect the people of the world."
Gu Fengtang glanced at everyone with his profound eyes, and finally looked at Lu Ning and said: "Deputy Secretary Yang is gone, and Lu Wanhu has taken his position."
"I hope that all the old people who used to work under Deputy Yang will give their full support to Deputy Lu."
"Although he is young, his strength and intelligence are not inferior to Deputy Yang."
Hearing this, Wang Ding, Wei Feng, Sui Yun and others remained silent.
On the other hand, Gu Wushuang said solemnly: "My subordinates will fully cooperate with Mr. Lu in any work within his duties."
Wang Ding and others frowned and stared at Gu Wushuang. Although they were not convinced, they still clasped their fists and repeated Gu Wushuang's words.
Gu Fengtang nodded and looked at Zuo Hongchen, Chen Hu and Zhang Chong.
"I hope that my colleagues can help each other and live in harmony, instead of looking at each other's displeasure."
"Remember, when you encounter great danger, the person who can sacrifice his life to save you must be the person fighting side by side with you."
"Subordinates, please remember this!" Lu Ning and the other four members clasped their fists and said.
"Let's break up."
Gu Fengtang waved his hand, then looked at Lu Ning and said, "Chang'an, come with me."
"It's my lord."
Lu Ning nodded, turned around, looked at Gu Wushuang and the others and said, "You all go back and do whatever you need to do."
When the voice fell, he turned around and chased after Gu Fengtang.
moment.
Arrive at Gu Fengtang's office hall, the Hall of Justice.
"Sir, what do you want?"
Seeing Gu Fengtang sit down, Lu Ning asked curiously.
"I've been familiar with it for a long time, how about it?"
Gu Fengtang picked up the teacup and took a sip, then raised his head and asked.
Lu Ning said: "It's okay."
Gu Fengtang nodded secretly and said, "I have a question to ask you."
"Excuse me, sir."
"The three parts of Vajra you have cultivated have even been integrated into the "Vajra Divine Fist", which is one of the magical skills of the Great Buddha Temple. Today, only the Elder Vajra of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Great Buddha Temple has completed the three parts."
Gu Fengtang said, staring at Lu Ning: "Did you learn from Elder Jingang, or did you learn it from other places?"
Lu Ning's eyebrows sank slightly: "Sir, is this matter important?"
Gu Fengtang pondered for a moment and said: "It is important to say it is important, and it is not important to say it is not important, but I must understand it clearly."
"Because the Great Buddha Temple sent people to inquire about this matter."
"..."
Lu Ning was slightly startled. Is there still such a thing?
Gu Fengtang said: "After all, the Vajra Elder did not fuse and penetrate the three Vajras, but you succeeded in merging them. The Great Buddha Temple must be concerned about this matter, and you should understand what I mean."
Lu Ning's eyebrows sank. Of course he understood what Gu Fengtang meant. The Great Buddha Temple probably wanted him to admit that he was a disciple of the Great Buddha Temple. In this case, it would also be of great benefit to the Great Buddha Temple.
"Sir, let me tell you the truth. I learned it by myself and it has nothing to do with the Great Buddha Temple."
"I know that the Great Buddha Temple wants me to admit that I am a disciple of the Great Buddha Temple."
"But I am in Tianlao, and I have learned a lot of things. Not only Vajra Divine Fist, but also other special skills. Is it possible that I also admit that I am a disciple of other sects?"
Hearing this, Gu Fengtang looked surprised: "How much have you learned?"
Lu Ning shook his head and said: "There are too many. Shengwutang's Sky Splitting Palm, Taichu Jianmen's Qingyuan Sword Art, Western Region Esoteric Sect's Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra, etc. Although they are not yet complete, they are about to be completed."
"When the time comes for Shengwu Hall, Taichu Jianmen, and the Western Region Esoteric Sect to come to me, do I have to admit that I am their disciple?"
"..."
Gu Fengtang was speechless and stared at Lu Ning. He really couldn't understand why Lu Ning had learned so many magical skills from major sects when he was not yet eighteen years old?
How did you learn it?
"Okay, I understand."
After a moment, Gu Fengtang nodded and said: "The second thing, Your Majesty asked me to tell you that you should investigate those two things as soon as possible."
"It's best to give His Majesty an explanation within three months."
Lu Ning clasped his fists and said, "When your majesty sees you again, please tell me that I will do my best."
Gu Fengtang said 'hmm' and said: "The third thing is that Yang Feng died in the Demon Sealing Cave, and I have never had time to go to investigate. You should familiarize yourself with your job responsibilities as soon as possible, and take people to investigate and hone your experience. "
"It's my lord!"
Lu Ning nodded and said, "Sir, how much do you know about the Demon Sealing Cave?"
Gu Fengtang picked up a file from the desk and said, "This is the file about the Demon Sealing Cave. Take it back and study it carefully."
"Thank you, sir."
Lu Ning took the file and did not leave. Instead, he said, "Sir, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"Tell me."
"It's about the Demon Suppression Hall. When I passed by it during the day, I found that there was some demonic energy leaking out, but not much."
After speaking, Lu Ning paused and continued:
"But when the cremation ceremony was held for Deputy Secretary Yang just now, I took another look and saw that the demonic energy was billowing over the hall, and it was obviously ten times stronger than during the day."
Listening, Gu Fengtang looked surprised: "You can actually see that?"
Lu Ning was slightly stunned. Could it be that Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, and Zuo Hongchen couldn't see it?
"Sir, I know a little bit about the art of looking for energy, and I can see some situations."
Lu Ning did not hide anything and told the truth, and continued: "I wonder if it has always been like this, or is there something strange in the Demon Suppression Hall?"
Gu Fengtang stared at Lu Ning for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "It's a strange movement."
"Don't worry about this, just go ahead and finish your own mission."
"It's your lord, I'm resigning."
After Lu Ning saluted, he turned around and left holding the file from the Demon Sealing Cave.
When passing by the Demon Suppression Hall, he found Zuo Hongchen with two thousand households and twenty hundred households standing guard around the square.
He looked at Zuo Hongchen, who had a cold look on his face, and his eyes fell on the sky above the Demon Suppression Hall.
The demonic energy that had been dispersed before condensed out again.
After a few glances, Lu Ning withdrew his gaze and left quickly.
Return to Kita Shoji.
Gu Wushuang, Wang Ding, Wei Feng, Sui Yun and others are not here.
Only six hundred households were on duty. After asking, they found out that Gu Wushuang and others went home to rest after arranging the tasks.
Lu Ning didn't care. He sat in front of the desk and opened the Demon Sealing Cave file with the flickering light.
The dossier is not long, only a few hundred words:
In front of Wolong Mountain, it is called Fengmo Mountain.
Folk rumors say that the monster sealed by Senior Zhu Xian three thousand years ago is called Chi Long.
Chilong is not a dragon, but a mysterious snake that has been cultivated into a spirit.
Xuan Hu became an adult, causing chaos everywhere, using his demon body to practice demonic skills, causing trouble in the world, and killing many people in martial arts, immortality, and Buddhism.
In the end, he was suppressed by Senior Zhu Xian at the foot of the mountain with the power of a sword.
From then on, the mountain peak was called Demon Sealing Mountain.
Thousands of years ago, Master Wolong traveled here and saw demonic energy leaking out of the Demon Sealing Mountain. After checking, he found that the seal of the Demon Sealing Cave was somewhat loose.
The sealed Chilong monster was about to wake up, so he lived in seclusion in the Sealed Demon Mountain.
Rename it Wolong and strengthen the seal of the Demon Sealing Cave.
For thousands of years, no monsters or monsters have been reported on Wolong Mountain.
That is to say, when I sent Concubine Qi back to Qiu Mountain a few years ago, she met Monk Huiyuan and the evil Shi Heizi in Shimen Village, and I learned that something strange was happening on Wolong Mountain.
"Xuan Hui, Chi Long?"
Lu Ning lowered his brows slightly. If it were a monster from three thousand years ago, then this Chi Long would really be alive.
Also, the lifespan of monsters and monsters is longer than that of humans.
Moreover, the monster that was suppressed rather than killed by Senior Zhu Xian must have a very strong cultivation level, perhaps a peak first-level cultivation level.
But after three thousand years of suppression, the oil should have almost run out.
After pondering, Lu Ning closed the file.
Look up at the hourglass, it's almost midnight.
Going home at this time somewhat disturbed my sister-in-law and niece.
Thinking about it, he raised his head and said, "Here comes someone."
A hundred households rushed into the main hall and said, "Sir, please give me your orders."
Lu Ning frowned and said, "Help me prepare some wine and meat. Prepare some donkey meat, beef, and mutton. The wine shouldn't be too bad."
As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his body and threw it to the hundreds of households.
Baihu grabbed the money bag and said in a daze: "Sir, the curfew is over, where can we get donkey meat?"
"...I forgot about it!"
Lu Ning was also a little dazed. He stood up and walked to Baihu, took the money bag over and said, "It's okay, let's go."
Leave Kitazashi.
Lu Ning went to Tianlao alone.
After changing into Feiyu clothes in Zhou Hao's office, he went to the kitchen to search for some braised cooked beef, found two jars of rice wine, and carried him to the third and fourth floors of Chaotian Lao.
When we arrived on the third floor.
Mr. Mo was reading a yellowed book, and two people were playing chess beside him.
The remaining four people rested.
"liquor?"
Mr. Mo had a very good nose. In fact, he knew it when Lu Ning opened the third-story stone door.
He immediately stood up with a smile.
"This junior is on duty tonight, come here and bring some meat and wine to Mr. Mo." Lu Ning smiled and put down a jar of rice wine and took out the braised beef.
"Forget the beef, I still have some donkey meat here, which is enough for drinking." Mr. Mo stopped Lu Ning.
Lu Ning ordered meat with a smile, sat down to have a drink with Mr. Mo, and started chatting.
After chatting with them, we found out that Mo Laoqi rarely left the third floor of the prison, and they could stay away from it for up to a year.
As for food, the Demon Suppressor will bring it in.
After getting to know them more deeply, I realized that none of the seven old people had cares about them. They just wanted to stay on the third floor of the Heavenly Prison, extract some magical powers and skills from those felons, and practice whatever they had to do.
Of course, they would also like to go to the fourth floor if they have the chance, and there is no harm in learning more.
An hour passed while chatting.
Lu Ning glanced at the catalog and found that there were nineteen repeat offenders on one page, and the punishment power of Heaven's Punishment had changed by 20.
The experience reward is doubled.
Lu Ning stood up immediately and said that he would go to the fourth floor to deliver some food and wine to Mr. Chen.
"Mr. Chen, go ahead." Mr. Mo nodded and waved to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning carried beef, rice wine, and a chess set from the first-floor prison room.
Come to the fourth floor.
He found Chen Tianqi sitting cross-legged on the stone bed practicing, his eyes flickered, and a figure came to his ear: "It's Xiao Lu, you sit down first, I'm almost finished."
"Divine consciousness transmission?"
Lu Ning raised his sword eyebrows. A few years ago, outside Prince Yue's Mansion in Zhuxian City, Yue Xiao could also communicate with his spiritual sense.
Words can reach other people's ears from a distance.
But Mr. Chen in front of him didn't say anything at all, and what he wanted to say came into his ears.
It's amazing.
