That night.
Returning to the small courtyard he rented, Shen Hao looked tired as always.
I haven't slept well for many days in a row. There are two fights in between, and I can't stop thinking about it. This is the most energy-consuming.
"call......"
He slumped down on the chair, took off his baggage, grabbed a bottle of wine from the shelf, opened the cork and poured it into his mouth.
Wang Jian is already doing the finishing touches. This time we handled a big case, but there were also many sacrifices. There were 76 people behind and over, and more than 20 people were injured.
This shows how weak the Xuanqing Guards at the grassroots level are against the evil monks and evil spirits.
Not all of these people were from Group A of the C-shaped battalion. Most of them were actually transferred from the general banner for reinforcements, and their affiliation was under the general banner Chen Tianwen. However, Shen Hao did not treat them differently. He was not ambiguous about the need for private accounts and extra pensions. Anyway, it was not a secret that each banner and each group had private accounts. Everyone knew it tacitly.
However, it is estimated that it will take a few days to get the official award. There will be a major case report meeting three days later, and then Chen Tianwen will report the case to the meeting. This is the best choice. At the same time, it also leaves time for the torturers to pry open the mouth of "Xiao Chongliu". Once it is confirmed that he is a member of "that group of people", this achievement will be really great.
After drinking a bottle of wine, tiredness slowly came over him. Shen Hao didn't resist anymore and just lay on the chair and fell asleep.
...
It was already noon the next day when he woke up again. Shen Hao ate something casually outside and then returned to the house again. It was time to sort out the strange events that happened to him.
First, Shen Hao sat cross-legged on a futon and used his "Great Five Elements True Qi Lun" to collect his energy and power after a week.
"this......"
In the past, an evil core caused Shen Hao's infuriating energy to increase three times every Sunday. But now the increase has reappeared, from three times to more than ten times!
To be exact, it is fifteen times the normal state!
Looking at this kind of cultivation speed, if it lasts for one month, it will be equivalent to the accumulated effect of one and a half years of hard training before? !
Shen Hao was a little frightened. In many cases, the faster the progress in practice, the better, let alone this weird situation.
Taking off his shirt, Shen Hao looked at the black beast tattoo on his chest in the bronze mirror. There was no difference when he touched it with his hands. Recalling the previous scenes, he could only think in his mind: What on earth are you?
Ever since he swallowed the evil core, Shen Hao had a creepy feeling. He felt that the tattoo on his body was "alive".
Fortunately, Shen Hao was used to finding clues from random events, so he naturally came up with a reasoning for these strange changes in his body. For the time being, he felt that it still made sense.
"The evil core belongs to the evil core, and the Yin Tofu belongs to the elixir-type consumables, but in the final analysis they are extremely pure energy. After I swallowed this energy, it was not directly transformed in my body but was stored in the black beast tattoo. , which is why I didn’t die suddenly from swallowing them.
Therefore, the sudden increase in energy gain during my practice is actually just the energy essence in the evil core and yin tofu that the tattoo has transformed into absorbable and slowly fed back to me. Is this derivation okay? And if these derivation are correct, then this surge is not unlimited. Once the tattoo consumes all the energy of the evil core and Yin Tofu, it should return to its previous state.
But the question is, what is the origin of this tattoo? "
After practicing fearfully for two days, Shen Hao found that he did not experience any instability in the Dao foundation caused by the rapid growth of his true energy, and his worries were relieved a little. For the time being, it seems that the changes the tattoo has brought to his body are not a bad thing.
In just three days, Shen Hao stayed indoors meditating and practicing except for eating. The feeling of being able to clearly feel the true energy flowing up in his body was so good that he couldn't stop.
He gained more in these three days than he did in a month of hard training. His previous conceitedness because he had just entered the sixth level of Qi Refining was completely gone now. He was actually at the first level of the Sixth Level of Qi Refining and was extremely solid.
"Dong dong dong..."
The knock on the door forced Shen Hao to collect his energy and strength. When he opened the door, he saw Wang Jian's slightly dark face with an excited look.
"Xiao Qi, there is an order from the Guard, asking you to go to the council hall immediately to attend the briefing of major cases!"
"Me? Observer?" Shen Hao was a little confused. It stands to reason that major case briefing meetings would involve the participation of senior officials from the general health department and above, and the lower-level officials would rarely be notified to attend.
Needless to say, it must be related to the previous case of the Qi family being exterminated in Wuyang City.
"Okay, just wait for me. I'll change my clothes and leave right away."
After getting dressed again, Shen Hao rushed to the guardhouse in a hurry, and then entered the meeting hall after announcing.
The meeting hall is not big, only seven or eight feet in diameter. There is a large square table with nine chairs in front of the table. According to the custom of superiority and inferiority, the top one should be the position of the 100-household official of the guard station, followed by the two trial 100-household officials, and below that are the six general banners ranked by seniority.
Shen Hao was arranged in the lower left corner of the meeting hall, sitting on a small stool. He did not dare to look around, straightened his back and waited for the arrival of others.
After waiting for a meal, the door of the meeting hall was opened. The three people who came in together immediately glanced at Shen Hao sitting in the corner. They were stunned at first but didn't ask any more questions and found their own seats to sit. Down.
Shen Hao knew these three people. They were the general flag officers of the three flags of "B", "D" and "Ji". Shen Hao usually dealt with these people only a handful of times, and even met them very rarely.
Next came the chief flag officers of the A-character flag and the E-character flag. These two people also glanced at Shen Hao, but there was a bit of disdain in their eyes.
Shen Hao saw it all, with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant. The commander-in-chief of the A-character flag and the E-character flag and his Shangguan Chen Tianwen have never dealt with each other. It is said that they have fought before. It is a feud, and the other party will naturally not look good on him.
But what Shen Hao didn't expect was that Chen Tianwen actually came in with the two trial households, and the three of them looked very happy, as if they had talked about something before.
Seeing Shen Hao stand up, Chen Tianwen smiled at him, pressed his hand to signal to sit down, but did not exchange a word with Shen Hao.
After a short while, the door of the meeting hall was pushed open again, and a tall middle-aged man with a Chinese character face strode in and sat on the top chair.
"I see you, Master Baihu!"
"Well, sit down."
According to the rules of the Jingjiu Dynasty, only those with an official position of the sixth rank and above will be honored as "Sir", and the rest are commensurate with their actual duties. Therefore, everyone who calls "sir" in the Licheng Guardhouse refers to the person in front of them.
Tang Qingyuan was an official of the Hundred Households of the Xuanqing Guard. He had been in charge of the Licheng Guard for eleven years. It was said that his cultivation had reached the eighth level of the God Gathering Realm, and he was the number one master in the Licheng Guard.
