Chen Tianqi finished practicing and when he opened his eyes, two rays of light shot out from his old eyes.
"There's wine and meat, it's what a chat should be like. What is this?"
"Mr. Chen, this is chess."
"Chess? I've never heard of it. Is it fun?"
"It's fun, very interesting...!"
For a moment, Lu Ning and Chen Tianqi sat across from each other, sipping wine and teaching Chen Tianqi how to play chess.
After two games of guidance, Chen Tianqi basically understood how to play chess. He laughed and said, "I've been bored in Tianlao for a long time. I haven't even heard of chess. It's quite fun!"
"Come on, keep going."
Lu Ning smiled, tore off a piece of braised beef and put it in his mouth, chewing it while arranging the chess pieces.
After a moment of waiting, he said, "Mr. Chen, I want you to go first."
Chen Tianqi smiled and said, "You can go wherever you want, right."
"right."
"Then old man, take the lead."
"The horse will jump."
After Lu Ning jumped on the horse, he looked at Chen Tianqi and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, when you were practicing just now, the sound that came into my ears must be the sound transmission from the divine consciousness."
"That's right, it's a message from the divine consciousness." Chen Tianqi nodded.
Lu Ning became more energetic and said, "Mr. Chen, this spiritual consciousness transmission is quite magical. Please tell me about it."
Chen Tianqi was not stingy, he laughed and said, "You teach me how to play chess, and I teach you how to communicate with your spiritual senses. We don't owe each other anything."
"Actually, this divine consciousness sound transmission is not as magical as you think. As long as you reach the upper third level, it is very easy to do...!"
"By the way, have you reached the third level of cultivation?"
Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "Just reached the third level."
Chen Tianqi gave a thumbs up and said: "You are the real genius. When I was your age, I was just a small jailer in the Ding District on the first floor. I was almost eroded to death by the sinister aura of the Heavenly Prison."
"Later..."
As he spoke, Chen Tianqi chuckled and said simply: "Thanks to a chance encounter, I managed to survive."
"Let's get to the point, this divine consciousness transmits sound."
"Whether it is martial arts, immortality, Buddhism, Confucianism, or magic... in short, all living people will have spiritual consciousness."
"It's just that ordinary people can't detect their own spiritual consciousness, but practitioners can easily feel it."
"After reaching the upper third level, the practitioner's spiritual consciousness will change."
"For example, it may turn into flames, mountains, horses, flowers, birds... etc. This process is called the transformation of spiritual consciousness."
"Don't worry, even if you don't practice spiritual consciousness, it will transform into a certain state."
Lu Ning looked inward at the sea of consciousness between his brows. The purple consciousness had turned into flames when he was in the fourth level. Now it was taking the shape of a lotus, which was considered its second transformation.
He did not tell Chen Tianqi about his situation, but just nodded and said: "Mr. Chen, what should I do?"
"To reach this point means that your spiritual consciousness is very powerful and can resonate with yourself and the outside world to a certain extent."
"You only need to speak with your mind, and your throat will vibrate very slightly to produce sound, which is transmitted through the spiritual consciousness that can take form."
“To whomever it is spoken, it is passed on.”
"Remember, this process will vibrate the airflow in the air. Even if there is no sound, some people with powerful spiritual consciousness will intercept and eavesdrop when they find that the spiritual consciousness transmits sound."
"Of course, those who can truly do this have very strong cultivation."
"Try it now, speak with your mind, and use your consciousness to control the slightly vibrating throat to transmit the sound."
Lu Ning nodded, and immediately silently shouted in his heart, 'Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen...'. He found that his vocal cords did vibrate slightly, so lightly that there was no sound in his throat.
The consciousness vibrated with the vibration of the vocal cords, and rushed out of the eyebrows in an instant, condensing into a thread and twisting into Chen Tianqi's ears.
It felt like a beating musical note to Lu Ning.
"Yes, you can learn it once you learn it." Chen Tianqi smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Chen, you heard me."
"Yes! But it's not very clear. I just need to practice more."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your advice."
Chen Tianqi waved his hand and said, "Go on, and we'll leave again when it's ugly."
Hearing this, Lu Ning smiled bitterly and nodded.
While playing chess, I was practicing my spiritual voice transmission.
Lu Ning discovered that the catalog was not included.
It shows that the transmission of spiritual knowledge is just a small skill, not a magical power.
No wonder Chen Tianqi said it was very simple, it was indeed not difficult.
Until it's ugly.
After all the food and wine, Lu Ning and Chen Tianqi played nearly twenty games of chess.
Chen Tianqi was very interested in chess.
"The chess piece is here to stay. I want to study it carefully."
"no problem."
Seeing the changes in the punishment power of the seven people on the fourth floor of the Sky Prison, Lu Ning smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Chen, you may be busy recently. This junior will come to see you in a few days."
"If you have something to do, go about your business. If nothing happens, come with food and wine."
Chen Tianqi did not raise his head, waved his hand to Lu Ning and said.
Lu Ning stretched and walked out of the classroom.
After a while, he came to the first floor.
When he arrived at District D and was about to leave, he found Kang Langcai squatting by the fence in Prison No. 3, in a daze.
Lu Ning shook his head secretly, walked over and knocked on the fence, whispering: "When you were just ugly, Master Kang couldn't sleep?"
"Brother Lu, why are you here?"
Kang Lang suddenly came back to his senses. When he looked up, he saw that it was Lu Ning, and he was also surprised.
"Oh! Brother Lu, I'm worried about the old man. It's been more than three months since the new emperor took the throne. Don't you plan to re-examine the old man's case?"
Lu Ning chuckled lightly: "What's so interesting about your case? You should be put in jail for being corrupt and perverting the law."
Kang Langcai was speechless: "Brother Lu, you have always been an upright person in the old man's heart, and you know the best about the old man's affairs. How can you say this to the old man?"
Lu Ning came closer and lowered his voice: "Then tell me who killed Prince Yong'an, and I will ensure that you get promoted and make a fortune."
"Qin Zhong! Even if it's not him, he still knows who the murderer is." Kang Langcai also lowered his voice.
"Qin Zhong said he didn't know."
"Impossible, this old fox won't tell you even if he knows. You catch him, put a torture device on him, and see if he tells you."
"..."
Lu Ning stared at Kang Langcai speechlessly. He had been staring at Kang Langcai for too long, and his mind was probably confused.
Without sufficient evidence, I will arrest Qin Zhong. Will Qin Zhong's sons be willing?
"By the way, there is another person who must also know about it."
"who?"
"Qin Zhong's old manager, Wei Shuxian."
"Wei Shuxian?"
Lu Ning nodded secretly, why did he forget Qin Zhong's old manager.
"If you can find out, Mr. Kang, you will be the first to succeed."
"What's the first thing? I can let the old man enjoy his old age for a few years and then he will die of joy."
Kang Lang rolled his eyes. He no longer prayed for anything. As long as he could get out of the prison alive, he would be satisfied.
Lu Ning nodded and left, put on the fire-patterned unicorn suit in the mansion, and returned to Beizhengsi to rest for an hour.
At three o'clock in the morning.
In the main hall, Gu Wushuang, Wang Ding, Wei Feng, Sui Yun and other eight thousand households were waiting.
Lu Ning stretched and walked out of the inner hall.
His eyes fell on the eight people, and he couldn't help but straighten his clothes, and sat upright in front of the desk.
"Sui Yun."
"My subordinate is here."
"From now on, I will monitor Wei Shuxian, the old housekeeper of Qin Mansion. If he goes out alone, bring him to me immediately."
"Sir, I don't think you need to monitor me anymore."
"Why?"
"Because Wei Shuxian never leaves Qin Zhong, he rarely goes out alone."
Hearing this, Lu Ning couldn't help but frown: "You said it, almost, not absolutely."
As he spoke, he said with a cold expression and an imposing manner: "All of you, please listen to me. As subordinates, you only need to do three things."
"All orders must be obeyed. First obey, second obey, and third still obey."
"If there are any more beepers who don't want to do anything, just go home and sleep."
Hearing this, Wang Ding and other popular people's chests rose and fell suddenly.
Lu Ning sneered: "I know that you are dissatisfied and want to fight me, but you must have the ability."
"One day, when you sit in my position and I stand below, you can attack me as you like."
"But until I don't have this ability, I will hold back your dissatisfaction."
Gu Wushuang was not dissatisfied, but was a little surprised after hearing Lu Ning's words.
"Sui Yun."
"My subordinate is here."
"From now on, I will monitor Wei Shuxian, the old housekeeper of Qin Mansion. If he goes out alone, bring him to me immediately."
"...It's my lord!"
Sui Yun hesitated, clasped his fists in a salute, and turned to leave.
Lu Ning didn't look at him, but stared at Song Gedao and said, "There are still two thousand households left, what are your arrangements here?"
Song Ge frowned and said, "Sir, I will do the assessment for them today."
Lu Ning nodded: "Replenish the number of people as soon as possible."
Then he looked at Wei Feng and said, "What mission do you have now?"
"My lord, I have no mission at the moment." Wei Feng lowered his eyebrows slightly.
"Very good, you can assume any identity. Go to Yongzhou to find out about Mr. Jinlin. If you meet a person named Zhongli, he is one of our own."
"Just mention my name and tell him that I asked you to go."
“If it’s not available in Yongzhou, go to Sangzhou.”
"Don't be idle when you arrive in Yongzhou. What is King Yongshan doing? Ask someone to pass the news back."
Hearing this, Wei Feng frowned a little and said: "Sir, this is not within the scope of the tasks of the North Chief Division. It is the task of the Left Deputy Secretary Xi Zhengsi. Will doing this cause the Zuo Deputy Secretary to misunderstand?"
Lu Ning frowned: "What's the misunderstanding? I want you to go because of my own motives. Do you still need Zuo Hongchen's consent?"
Wei Feng nodded and said, "My subordinates will set off immediately."
After a salute, Wei Feng also left the hall.
Lu Ning looked at the remaining six people: "Except Song Ge, you five don't have any tasks, right?"
"Sir, if you don't have a mission, your subordinates will go to the criminal trial." Gu Wushuang spoke first.
"Who is on trial?"
"The traitors who seized the imperial edict years ago were mainly Yuan Wu, Chang Wei and others."
"Yuan Wu?"
Lu Ning's eyes flashed and he said, "Well, let's try it first."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Ding and the other four and said, "Where are you?"
"Back to my lord, I have no mission at the moment."
"Very good, let's repair it. In two days, we will follow my officer to the Demonic Sealing Cave in Wolong Mountain."
"...??"
Wang Ding and others looked at each other.
Mr. Yang was killed in the line of duty and his body was not found. Why should he still go?
"Don't look at me like that. You don't have to obey the tasks assigned by the superiors." Lu Ning glanced at Wang Ding and others.
"Excuse me, sir, do you want to bring anyone else with you?" Wang Ding asked.
Lu Ning frowned and said, "You don't need too many. Ten people from a hundred households is enough."
Hearing this, Wang Ding nodded, said goodbye and left.
Song Ge and others also followed.
The last person to leave was Gu Wushuang. She stared at Lu Ning: "Master Sizheng, do you really want you to take us to the Demon Sealing Cave?"
Facing Lu Ning alone, he lost his seriousness and spoke more casually.
"Do you think I'm kidding?"
Lu Ning glanced at her and continued: "I have read the Demon Sealing Cave Archives. The seal inside is a mysterious snake, which is three thousand years old. Even if it is a demon, how long can it live?"
"It's just a struggle before the oil runs out."
Gu Wushuang nodded and said no more.
Lu Ning can withstand the first-grade Buddhist magical power Golden Thunder Buddha used by Monk Yuantong, so he shouldn't have a big problem in dealing with the Demon-Sealing Cave.
Northeast of Beizhengsi.
A dark dungeon.
Lu Ning followed Gu Wushuang and looked at the temporary underground dark prison built by the Demon Suppressor.
There is only one floor, and the prison area is not very large. It can hold about thirty people.
Yuan Wu was in Cell No. 1, locked with a fine iron chain.
His black hair was spread loosely.
Lu Ning looked carefully and saw that the latter was indeed a woman. Her appearance was obscured by her hair, but she had a slim figure.
He was only wearing prison uniform and had bloody marks from being beaten.
Lu Ning had no intention of admiring the convex and concave figure.
"Lu Ning!?"
Seeing Lu Ning, Yuan Wu struggled and threw away his black hair, revealing a cold but bloody face.
If there are no blood stains, the appearance is pretty good, but the eyes are very cold.
"You are the one to blame."
Lu Ning stared at Yuan Wu, sneered and shook his head, then said to Gu Wushuang: "Let's interrogate her until she speaks."
"Lu Ning, I bought you a drink, how could you be so cruel?"
Yuan Wu roared in prison.
Gu Wushuang raised her long eyebrows and stared at Lu Ning's back: "Have you ever had a drink together?"
Lu Ning looked back at her: "Do you believe what a traitor says?!"
Yuan Wu roared: "You don't admit it? Even the madams of Xianlefang know it, what are you pretending to do?"
Lu Ning stared at Yuan Wu coldly: "So what?"
Meeting Lu Ning's sharp and intimidating eyes, Yuan Wu's eyes flickered for a moment and he said: "Lu Ning, I know that even with my few words, I can't do anything to you."
"But you can't be proud for long. Sooner or later, you will understand that your choice was wrong."
Lu Ning shook his head secretly: "You still have a chance to make a comeback when you are King Anshan? How stupid!"
Immediately turned around and looked towards the other prisons.
After taking a few steps, the picture came up:
Sinner: Yuan Qingwu (five stars)
Cultivation: Fourth level Qi refining (middle stage)
Divine Punishment: 10 Power
Reward: 55 experience points/hour
"...??"
Lu Ning's eyes flashed slightly, is this okay?
After a pot of tea.
Lu Ning sat happily in the rest area, watching Gu Wushuang lead Xing Juyuan Qingwu.
In the dark dungeon, there are not many prisoners and the crime level is not high, but the total experience points reach more than 700 points every hour.
better than nothing.
An hour later, Gu Wushuang still didn't gain much, so he stopped the interrogation and prepared to go to the prison.
Lu Ning also stood up and left.
Instead of going to Tianlao, he rode back home.
The inner city of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
Antai Fang, the largest mansion in the middle section of Jingyang Street, is the Lu Mansion.
"The young master is back!"
When the guard behind the door saw it was Lu Ning, he hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse.
After a while, the housekeeper Kong Rong personally led people out to greet Lu Ning.
And whispered in Lu Ning's ear: "Sir, there are relatives in the house."
"What relative??"
Lu Ning frowned. Are there any relatives in the Lu family?
Why have you never heard of it?
Kong Rong whispered: "Young master, go to the main hall and have a look, and you will know."
"Ha! What kind of relatives do I want to see?"
Lu Ning made a scornful sound and strode towards the mansion.
