That night.
Ma Liu took Lao Zhou to Tan Gang's home.
Next door is Sun Long's former hiding place.
Now that he's out, he must be repaired.
There were clothes worn by Sun Long in the room. Ma Liu picked them up and smelled them, which made him dizzy.
It stinks!
Ancient people had strong body odor, and due to primitive conditions, there were almost no people who bathed every day.
Especially for masters, who practice frequently and sweat, which makes their body odor worse. They also have long hair and don't wash their hair often. The smell on their heads can make people choke to death.
Sun Long had been gone for a long time, but Ma Liu could still smell his faint scent lingering in the air.
Tracking all the way to a high-rise building not far from Chunfeng Tower, overlooking the lights of thousands of houses and looking at the prostitutes coming and going in Hualiu Alley, Ma Liu felt the strong atmosphere of the world of mortals.
"How come there is the smell of King Wolf next to Sun Long?"
Ma Liu opened his mouth slightly, taking a deep breath of the molecules in the air, and his face gradually became serious.
Wang Lang has contacts with Sun Long, and the person behind him seems to be ready to be revealed.
This time, Ma Liu felt his head was big.
If I continue to investigate, I am afraid that I will be involved in a dispute among the big shots.
He killed a good official who made decisions for the people and robbed the court of disaster relief funds. Ma Liu always felt that Tan Gang could not handle such a major case. Now it seems that Xu Mingyang's shadow is all behind him.
It's not surprising that Lei Peng couldn't speak in front of others, there was indeed a gap in status.
Although Xu Mingyang was dismissed from his post and was idle at home, the Xu family was a thousand-year-old family.
Moreover, the emperor's desire for change has not wavered, and the temporary concession is only to appease the mood of the civil and military officials in the dynasty, and to pursue it in the future.
As long as the emperor does not change his mind, Xu Mingyang will be reused sooner or later.
When the prime minister of the dynasty is under one person, he is more than ten thousand people, and the Yamen of Yamen are also controlled by Xu Mingyang. The prime minister has a great say in the promotion, appointment and dismissal of personnel.
He jumped off the tall building and followed Sun Long's scent to pursue him again. Ma Liu didn't give up until he was about to leave the capital.
"This grandson can run very fast."
After committing a murder, finding someone to die as a substitute and leaving the capital to avoid the limelight is an inevitable choice.
He had to be on duty tomorrow, so Ma Liu had no time to chase after him, so he and Lao Zhou returned to the Piping Department.
…
The sun rises and the moon sets.
This day.
Ma Liu killed a chicken demon.
Absorbing the energy and blood, reading the memory, it was discovered that this demon was actually the leader of a rebel army in the north.
I couldn't see the poor people being oppressed by the government, so I just raised my arms and rebelled against him.
The demon collection team only sent one person to capture the chicken demon, and the rebel army collapsed without a fight.
This is a world of demons and demons, where force is supreme.
The saying that water can carry a boat can also overturn it is just a fallacy to comfort ordinary people.
In fact, the whole government does not take "public opinion" seriously at all.
Only when the emperor is afraid that his country will be in decline, be too corrupt, be criticized by future generations, and end up with the reputation of a foolish emperor, will he give some sweetness to the people and think of making some achievements.
In fact, he didn't care about public opinion, he just cherished his feathers and wanted to outperform the previous emperors and highlight his talents and strategies.
The chicken demon was taken back to the Yamen, where he was severely punished and subjected to various tortures in turn.
The people didn't know his true identity, they just thought he was the leader of the rebel army recommended by everyone.
The imperial court had to let the chicken demon write a confession himself, admit that he was possessed by a demon, and announce it to the people, in order to completely dismantle the rebels' rebellious intentions and allow them to return to their hometowns to farm in peace.
The chicken demon has very hard bones and has been subjected to all the punishments that the world can imagine.
Silent from beginning to end.
In the end, a mouthful of bloody phlegm was sprayed on Captain Ji Demon's face, he cursed "dog officer", and died.
After reading the memory, Ma Liu gave the chicken demon the nickname "Rooster General".
This kind of demon is naturally considered a good demon, but its resentment is ten times stronger than that of a bad demon, and it cannot be resolved unless the Great Yan Dynasty changes its dynasty.
After killing too many of these good demons, the resentment lingered, making Ma Liudu feel a little dazed, mentally oppressed, and looking like he was being robbed.
He has the Great Sun Tathagata Technique to protect his body, and even if he recites it day and night, what can other pickpockets do?
…
Ten years of Yongan.
There is a severe drought and constant earthquakes.
According to court statistics, there were more than 300 small-scale uprisings in the Great Yan Dynasty this year, one almost every day.
There were more than 20 large-scale rebellions in which demons caused chaos and incited the people to rebel.
Emperor Yong'an's reforms became more and more chaotic, causing turmoil in the dynasty.
The head of Qintian Prison splattered the court with blood and was killed on a golden pillar. He scolded the emperor for being unkind, so God would bring disaster and punish the world.
Emperor Yong'an had a sullen face and said nothing.
The next day, demons came to the house and killed all ninety-eight members of Supervisor Qintian's family.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the culprit.
Three days later, someone surrendered, and it turned out to be a gangster.
The three law divisions held a joint trial and determined that this little thief was the culprit. He was taken to Caishikou and beheaded, in exchange for the lives of Supervisor Qintian and his family.
From then on, no one dared to scold Emperor Yong'an in person.
Half a month later, the news passed, and the emperor issued an edict. Former Prime Minister Xu Mingyang returned to the court and served as the Minister of Civil Affairs.
Later, the storyteller at Yongxing Teahouse accidentally revealed that the demon was once a guest of Xu Mingyang's house.
After killing the whole family of the Qintian supervisor, he died violently in a mass grave outside the city. His body was devoured by wolves, leaving no bones or residue.
…
Yong'an twelve years.
The imperial reform failed completely, and there were calls among the people for Emperor Yong'an to abdicate.
There was also an undercurrent in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. They wrote to the emperor to request the emperor to seal the East Palace and allow the prince to participate in political affairs.
Less than half a month.
One hundred thousand soldiers on the border of the Great Yan Dynasty were killed by demons.
Poisonous powder blew through the military camp overnight. When it was daylight, the camp was lifeless and no one survived.
Although they knew the truth, the imperial court did not dare to announce the demons for fear of disturbing the order of the world, so they had to declare that there was a conflict with the Yong Dynasty, and one hundred thousand soldiers were buried alive.
Public opinion was boiling, and the crusade against Dayong became the main theme of the government and the public, and no one mentioned the East Palace incident again.
There are wealthy businessmen who are willing to donate millions of their property to help the war, there are veterans who are willing to put on armor and fight on the battlefield, and there are literati who write articles and criticize the eight generations of Emperor Yong's ancestors.
The ministers were so angry that Emperor Yong'an decided to go on a personal expedition to seek an explanation from his 100,000 soldiers.
The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
At that time, the Minister of the Ministry of War was old and lacked energy, making it difficult to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War.
Emperor Yong'an issued an order to promote Xu Mingyang to the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, coordinating the world's troops and horses, and cooperating with him to conquer Dayong.
Even Yongxing Tea House kept this matter secret and did not dare to say more.
…
Thirteen years of Yong'an.
The two countries were at war, there were many demons in the army, and a large number of corpses were transported back to the capital.
The pickpockets were busy day and night, killing four or five demons every day.
Where is this human work?
Except for the first four pickpockets, which were rock solid, the other pickpockets changed one after another.
Some died of exhaustion in the steak house, some were killed by zombie monsters, and some were filled with resentment and went insane.
Even Mr. Zhou from Grill No. 7 couldn't withstand the pressure.
He was very old, and he had been killing two demons in the Dao Realm for many days, fighting for half a day at times, and suppressing the corpse transformation, which made him exhausted physically and mentally, and he was in a trance.
Red hair also began to grow on both hands, covering both arms overnight.
"I can not make it."
Lao Zhou specializes in Feng Shui and geoqi, and likes to hunt for dragons and burrows. When he was young, he often robbed tombs and often saw red-haired monsters, which he was very taboo about.
"Tonight, when I sleep to death, Liuzi, you chop off both my arms and burn them all with the Buddhist flames. Don't leave any remaining body behind. Put it into the cremator and burn it into ashes. Then leave the city and scatter it to the south."
Ma Liu did as he was told, and there were so many people seeing him off that it was hard to feel sad anymore.
…
late at night.
Scatter Lao Zhou's ashes.
Ma Liu sits cross-legged in Bailong Mountain.
The moonlight broke through the fog and enveloped him in golden light.
In the blink of an eye, after ten years of skinning, the people with whom I had the best relationship were gone. Looking back on the past, it seemed like nothing was left behind.
I only remember what Wang Goudan, the miracle doctor Old Liu, and Mr. Zhou had said to me:
"The Piping Department is not a place for people to stay. You must make plans early, Liu."
Having absorbed so much talent from demons and having his heart changed at the beginning of time travel, Ma Liu didn't know if he was still a human being.
Normal people have not yet reached the Taoist realm, and even ancient saints cannot have such strong Qi and blood.
A few days ago, I tried it in the mountains. I let go of all the breath-holding talents and techniques, and vigorously stirred up the energy and blood. The mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and the clouds in the ten directions collapsed, just like an ancient evil dragon coming out of the gate.
There was a strong man in Dayan Dynasty, so he immediately looked over.
Shocked, Ma Liu used his chameleon talent and used the Natural Art of Providence at the bottom of the box to hide his aura. He then plunged half of his body into the ground, turning his head into a ball of shit and hiding it in the horse dung pile, barely evading detection.
A lot of demons have been killed in the past few days. A quick calculation shows that the last deer demon absorbed today is the three thousand and one.
When the Qi and blood entered the body, Ma Liu felt the urge to burst. It was as if he had been over-replenished, and his meridians and blood vessels were stretched to the limit. He had to hold back, so no one noticed anything unusual.
If he continues to replenish it, the energy and blood all over his body will be ignited, like a monk transforming into a rainbow and burning himself away.
At this time, Ma Liu let go of the breath holding method, and blood snakes immediately appeared on the surface of his skin, and blood vessels might explode on his face and body if he wasn't careful.
The key to entering the Taoist realm is to break through the Dingmen acupoint, open the bridge between heaven and earth, and the shackles of the spirit, so that the six senses can be connected to the spirit.
If you want to advance to this level, you need to accumulate enough internal energy and surging energy and blood to carry it to the top of your head in one go.
It's okay to be successful, cross the entrance, and embark on the path of cultivating immortality.
Even if he didn't die suddenly on the spot, he would still have a cerebral hemorrhage, become paralyzed, and spend the rest of his life in misery.
Ma Liu didn't want to gamble. Ninety-nine percent of the chances of a breakthrough were non-existent.
I would rather accumulate ten points of certainty for ten years as a day.
"If I can't reach the Taoist realm after ten years of cultivation, Lei Peng no longer values me and has turned to training other pickpockets. Today I will take back the light that belongs to me."
The Papis are not allowed to kill people, but where there are people, there will be disputes, and it is inevitable to compare with each other and secretly compete for favor.
In the past, Ma Liu was favored. In order to make it easier for him to kill demons, Wang Goudan once gave way to him and was forced to be promoted to Grill No. 10.
Now that a newcomer has arrived and is highly regarded by Lei Peng, Ma Liu also gives way to the No. 10 steakhouse.
The ability to survive as a pickpocket is good, but stagnant cultivation means that the future is limited, and Lei Peng's care will naturally decrease.
Gathering his mind, Ma Liu calmed down and slowly swayed his body.
As he pumped up his energy and blood, the blood snakes running around his body were condensed on his spine and slowly pushed toward the top of his head.
Until it reached the back of his head, a large amount of Qi and blood gathered, giving him a painful feeling of skull cracking.
The whole face was also rapidly congested with blood, the face was red, the ears were red, and the eyes were bloodshot.
"Push it to me!"
Feeling fierce in his heart, Ma Liuyi gritted his teeth, and the blood snake gathered on the back of his head rushed up like a rocket.
"Boom——"
There was a loud roar in his head, like a dry thunder cracking the ground, which made Ma Liu's mind tremble and caused thousands of birds in the mountain to fly together.
Entering the Taoist realm is done!
My mind, spirit, and physical fitness have all made a qualitative leap.
At this moment, Ma Liu was no longer a human being. His eyes were as bright as torches, his black hair was dancing wildly, and his pupils were shining with golden light. He was like a god or a demon, as if he contained magic power that transcended all living beings.
