While Lao Li and Feng Xue were chatting, the inn was surrounded by officers and soldiers. The clothes of these soldiers looked significantly different from the government officials in costume dramas. Although they were not wearing armor, their clothing style was obviously more like A practical uniform that facilitates movement, rather than a ceremonial uniform.
The strung-up crossbows were held in the hands of the soldiers one after another, and they clearly showed a certain sense of hierarchy, and seemed to have the awareness of multiple shots.
Feng Xue turned around and looked back, and found that all the waiters in the store had disappeared at some point, and only a few customers were eating. Apparently they didn't know that a group of officers and soldiers had arrived outside.
Needless to say, the waiter must have called the police.
"Is this world poisonous?" After all these years of traveling around, this is the first time that Lao Li has seen such a sensitive government. Feng Xue, who got into trouble the first time he "went out", was not surprised by this and even thought about what he wanted to do. Don't go to the Dragon Field in this world to gain enlightenment.
Although both of them were confused about the current scene, they did not show any fear. Feng Xue was no longer the rookie he was before, and Lao Li, as a veteran, must have kept many trump cards even if his strength declined.
The two of them ate the food leisurely. After about ten minutes, they seemed to be a little impatient with the wait. A man in relatively light clothes, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, walked into the inn.
He did not carry any weapons, his temples were bulging high, and his fist bones were flattened. If you look closely, you can find that there is an imperceptible gap between his robe and his body. It is obvious that he has moved from the outside to the inside, and the gang has been transformed. A sign that the anger has reached its extreme level.
"This man is very vigilant." Looking at the man's walking posture, Feng Xue secretly had a suspicion in her heart and took the initiative to talk:
"Your Excellency?"
"I worship you at the Demon Slayer Department in Qingyuan County, the capital of Xiasi Prefecture. I wonder what your identities are?"
The man clasped his hands in fists, but he only mentioned his identity and did not mention his name. When Feng Xue heard this, she just raised her brows and said:
"I'm just a wanderer from the world. I'm passing by a treasured place. I don't know why it caused such a fuss?"
Hearing Feng Xue speak like this, the man's face became strange. The feeling was not nervous or serious, but a kind of sullenness like "Do you think I'm a fool?"
But after all, he was a public official, so he was well-informed, so he didn’t continue to ask further questions, and just said:
"Since you two don't want to talk, I won't ask any more questions. It's just that you two don't want to show me the way. This routine inspection will still have to be done as before."
Feng Xue glanced at Lao Li after hearing this, and Lao Li nodded lightly and said:
"As the locals do, since there are local regulations, the two of us are naturally willing to abide by them. I wonder if we are going to the county government or just here?"
But as soon as he said these words, the man's expression became weirder, and Feng Xue immediately understood that this rule was probably not "local", but a rule that was universal across the state and even the country.
However, the reason why the man showed such an expression was far simpler than he thought, because——
"Of course we go to the medical clinic."
…
Half an hour later, the demon slayer looked at the medical officer in front of him and asked, "What was the result?"
"Returning to my lord, there are no tattoos on the two of them, their skin color is uniform, and there are no [stain marks]; the back of their heads is smooth and smooth, with no traces of [Soul Gu]; their eyes are clear, and there are no [evil spots]..."
The medical officer reported a series of test results, and the worshiper relaxed slightly and said:
"In other words, the two of them are not demons from the Demon Cult?"
"It can only be said that it does not match the characteristics of any type of demon cult monster we know." The medical officer carefully revised the statement, and then added:
"There are no traces of external martial arts practice on the two of them, but their qi and blood are strong, their pulses are strong, and their bones are good, but..."
"Just what?" The nerves that had just been relaxed tightened again, but the doctor said calmly:
"It's okay to say that the young man's inner strength is peaceful and he has entered the realm of transformation. Even if he is not the master realm, he will not be too far away. But the other person, although his inner strength is also somewhat fiery, has a very ordinary breath. , which is obviously different from the cultivation he showed, I doubt..."
"Just say it."
"I suspect that the method he majors in is a spiritual power."
"!!!" When the doctor said this, the worshiper's expression immediately became weird. It felt like someone saw a guy with a money rat tail on the street and asked every person he met, "The Qing Dynasty is dead?" "generally.
"Is there anyone in this world who dares to cultivate spiritual powers?"
Words full of disbelief came from the mouth of the worshiper, and the medical officer also felt deeply:
"Who says it's not the case? The methods practiced by the two of them are very different from the current mainstream. They have a sense of 'emphasis on focus but not on gravity'. It is somewhat similar to the 'Xuanxin Pavilion' lineage that was destroyed two hundred years ago."
"You mean, these two people may be the descendants of a certain sect that retreats from the world?" The worshiper only felt that he was witnessing history. Although this kind of thing is not uncommon, it is definitely a very small probability event. .
"At least I can't think of any other possibility - not even a demon sect demon would be stupid enough to make such a poor disguise."
After the medical officer finished speaking, he felt that his words were a bit absolute and immediately added:
"Of course, it is also possible that they are deliberately taking advantage of our psychology."
…
"Oh?" Feng Xue, who had just undergone a full-body examination, was holding a cup of tea. Her expression suddenly changed. She turned to look at Lao Li and found that he was also looking at her. After a short silence, Lao Li took the lead and said:
“What label have you condensed?”
"[Disciples of the Hidden World Sect]." Feng Xue didn't mean to hide it, Lao Li nodded and said:
"me too."
"It seems that this test has been passed." Feng Xue shook her head helplessly, gently tugged on her collar and said:
"Speaking of which, why does the physical examination here also examine the back of the head?"
"Probably to check the traces of some martial arts, right? Some martial arts will cause physical deformities after practicing, such as protruding back of the head, turned elbows, etc. Maybe there are similar evil arts in this world?"
Lao Li relied on his own experience to make inferences. Feng Xue thought of a certain person with a sunken forehead and couldn't help but nodded. Just when he was about to say something more, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the previous worshipper also walked in, and Following him were two officials who looked like civilian personnel.
"Although I don't know where you two came from, since you have passed the physical examination, I won't bother you anymore. As for road guidance, I can also take the initiative to help you make up for it. However, the world is not what it used to be. You two, please leave Qingyuan as soon as possible. .”
The worshiper was undoubtedly giving an order to expel guests, but his gesture was sufficient. Feng Xue glanced at Lao Li and saw that he didn't speak, so she could only nod and said:
"Then it's your turn, Your Excellency."
There is no need to consider the intensity of the world in Kaitan, because Kaitan only feeds on cognition, and different people's cognitions are different.
The strong people in Bai Zonan's perception and the strong people in Ke Zhen'e's perception are both labeled as "strong", but obviously the contribution cannot be generalized, so as long as it can be established in the early stage, the world level is not very important (relatively speaking) ).
ps: There are always people who have misunderstandings about modern saturation artillery bombing.
The protagonist is protected by arrow avoidance and can sense the arrival of artillery shells and missiles in advance, but he can't dodge them!
The data in this book is relatively realistic. There will be no weird situation where tens of tons of force can break the sound barrier, or hundreds of tons of force can shatter the void. The protagonist's current speed is about the same as that of a family car, and dodging bullets relies on distance and perception. Trying to get out of the killing range of the group's artillery fire was a little too much.
