"How did you deal with that fox girl?" Gu Danqing asked with raised eyebrows.
Jing Yu was sitting opposite him drinking tea. When he heard this question, he felt a little sad: "I sentenced her to five years in prison, just think of it as retribution for her joining the cult. After all, she was not completely stained with blood, so I couldn't be embarrassed." She, and the Master Shang has been waiting for me for countless years."
"After all, you are still a human race, and your thinking is too limited. For the demon race, five years is comparable to fifty years, not much money. But it would be difficult for me to deal with it... Let's change her sentence to five hundred years in prison. Then there are opportunities to go out three times a week so that the couple can meet each other. There is no need for jailers to follow, and no one dares to escape from prison in the capital." Gu Danqing wrote another document and handed it to Jing Yu.
Gu Danqing also left Jing Yu with a task: "Eradicate the evil cult within three years. This is a bigger threat than the Demon Kingdom. I have no clues here, so I have to rely on you. Finally, I will remind you, remember the first Is it the monster from the day of the first assessment? It is now locked up in the prison of the outer city county government office. You can go and see it."
When Jing Yu heard "five hundred years", he inexplicably thought of a monkey trapped under Wuzhi Mountain. He snickered in his heart and stood up to leave. After driving the horse back to Dingming Division, Chen Xueyun and Song Qianqian, the weapon supervisor, tried to lift the seal. Qiao Xu went home to exercise again. After Jing Yu completed feeding the Nian beast, he began a day of routine gathering of spirits.
He vaguely realized that he had touched the threshold of third-level physical training. As long as he crossed this threshold, his path of cultivation would be smooth.
At noon the next day, Jing Yu was not in a hurry to have lunch, but hurried to the outer city county government office. He showed his waist badge, and the police officer from the government office took him into the government office. When he opened the prison door, a strong smell of corruption came from deep inside. Jing Yu signaled the policeman to wait at the door while he covered his mouth and nose and went deeper.
At the end of the prison, he saw a huge cell with a black monster inside. It was eating, and its lunch was two poultry. Jing Yu tentatively stroked the other person's head, and the monster raised its head and looked at the young man in front of him with sharp eyes.
It seemed to recognize this dead fish-eye as its savior that day, and the monster made a grunting sound to express its harmlessness.
"You still can't speak human language?" Jing Yu said helplessly.
The black demon thought for a moment, then puffed out a cloud of smoke around his body and turned into a short-haired man.
A low and magnetic voice came out of his mouth: "I can say it, but I didn't plan to communicate before. Thank you for your help. My wounds were not serious that day, but I was poisoned and could no longer maintain my human form at that time. Luckily you guys came to the rescue.”
"That's because I misunderstood you." Jing Yu smiled sheepishly.
"Now that I'm healed, I'm ready to go out for revenge. The other party just missed me and didn't kill me. I won't let it go. Next, I want to ask you, Ding Mingsi, to help you generously."
After weighing the pros and cons, Jing Yu agreed: "In that case, we will help you."
Black Demon followed Jing Yu back to Dingmingsi, and he was placed in Nian Beast's room. Jing Yu learns that the black demon is called Huang and has no fixed address. He doesn't know which lineage he belongs to, but he possesses strange spiritual power.
However, all members of the Dingming Division are currently on vacation. Huang's revenge plan may have to be postponed for half a month, but he himself is not in a hurry.
A piece of good news came from Chen Xueyun. Song Qian's restriction was lifted, and his cultivation level returned directly to the peak of the sixth-level Heavenly Tribulation Realm. There were faint signs of a breakthrough. On the day when his cultivation level was restored, Song Qian mobilized his true energy, connected with the Shushan Sword Tomb, and retrieved his flying sword "Changyou". Song Qian became interested and began to tell the origin of this flying sword.
The original owner of this flying sword was an old man who lived in Shushan hundreds of years ago. He traveled down the mountain and traveled far and wide. He drew his sword to help when encountering injustice and became a famous swordsman in the world. Due to his extraordinary talent in swordsmanship, it is said that he broke through the ninth level of Tongxuan realm at a young age, and could turn his mind into a sword and cut mountains with one sword. In the end, the old man decided to live in seclusion and handed the flying sword to the sword tomb, never to be seen again.
This is a flying sword that Song Qian accidentally obtained in the back mountain when he was eight years old. On that day, hundreds of swords were buzzing and there was a strange phenomenon in the sky, so his master devoted himself to teaching him the art of swordsmanship.
Jing Yu suddenly thought, isn't this a pure template for male protagonists in novels? Good guy, it turns out that my identity as a time traveler is not worth mentioning.
Take a closer look at the flying sword. The sword body is engraved with cloud patterns of different sizes. Just by tapping your finger, the invisible sword energy spreads around like ripples. No wonder Song Qian had the habit of cleaning his swords. If such swords were placed with Jing Yu, he would have to offer them to him.
Song Qian still expressed regret that he didn't go out of his way to learn Shushan's swordsmanship. When it comes to which swordsmanship is the strongest in the world, it has to be Shushan. If he had known that he would end up in Dingming Division today, he should have learned more.
"Isn't Shushan a branch of Taoism? It's the same if you go to learn Taoist swordsmanship." Jing Yu encouraged him, hoping that Song Qianqian would take him up the mountain to have a look.
Song Qian also had this intention. He promised Jing Yu that after the black demon thing was over, he decided to go to Heming Mountain to learn the sword technique of eliminating demons, and he could take Jing Yu with him. Chen Xueyun also brought good news. The Weapons Supervisor combined Song Qian's experience and the experiment of talismans to create a new product-Dali Medicinal Wine. Drinking the medicinal wine can greatly increase your realm within half an hour.
At this time, Jing Yu noticed that the wine bottle attached to Song Qian's waist had a faint medicinal fragrance.
When everyone gathered, everyone gathered in the hall, with Huang at the bottom.
Huang looked at the people in the hall uneasily and said: "I was assassinated in Pingzhou and escaped by chance. The person who chased me claimed to be from the Yixin sect. This sect was founded in Pingzhou. Under the banner of coexistence of all ethnic groups, they plunder and kill ordinary people living a normal life. Now it has reached a very terrifying scale. In a few years, their power will definitely penetrate the capital."
"Yixin Sect? Is it the force that caused the Northern Fox Clan to fall apart?" Jing Yu suddenly thought of his previous experience.
The black demon shook his head: "That's not the Yixin Cult. I know about the Northern Fox Clan, but the Yixin Cult is most likely a branch of it. At that time, I had a dispute with a patrol team of the Yixin Cult, and afterwards I was targeted by the elders of the church. , wanted to kill me and silence me, but I happened to fall into the river and narrowly escaped death."
"What is your strength? How strong is that elder?" Song Qian asked, holding his chin.
"I only have the fourth level of foundation building, that elder should be above me."
"It's not strong. I think I can be sure on my own." Song Qian curled his lips.
…
Pingzhou Sushui County is located in the hinterland of Pingzhou. Unfortunately, it is a basin terrain and is surrounded by mountains. It is particularly difficult for Dingmingsi to enter. They abandoned their horses and chose to walk over the mountains and ridges, and finally reached Sushui County. It's obviously February, but the temperature is a bit sweltering. The weather was gloomy and it seemed like it would rain at any moment.
There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, and everyone carries an umbrella to protect themselves from the sudden drizzle. So Ningqu held up the umbrella with peace of mind. She usually didn't dare to hold it up in the capital because she always felt like there were eyes pointing behind her.
The streets of Sushui County were covered with wanted notices about Huang. When they entered the city, because Jing Yu revealed his identity, the group was not investigated, while Huang escaped by wearing a hat. Seeing these wanted notices, Jing Yu was certain that the Yixin Sect's headquarters was in Sushui County. Their plan was to arrest Huang under false pretenses to see if they could sneak into the Yixin Sect.
So Song Qian was responsible for escorting him, and the others kept a certain distance and followed Song Qian. Song Qian went to hand in the person according to the location on the wanted order. He walked through two alleys and came to an ancestral hall, where he found a row of people wearing yellow cloaks standing there.
The leader stepped forward and said, "You can leave now. We will reward you with a generous reward. Leave this monster to us."
Song Qian sneered, raised his hand and raised his sword, like a bit of snow plum, the sword energy was clear and elegant. Only the frightened leader of the cloaked man was left, and the other believers fell to the ground one after another, with an obvious blood streak on their necks.
He circulated his energy, pulled the cloaked man in front of him, and asked sternly: "Tell me! Where is your headquarters?"
The cloaked man kept silent. He stared at Song Qian, the anger in his eyes seemed to devour the two people in front of him. Seeing his weak strength, Song Qian smiled contemptuously and cut his throat directly. The cloaked man fell to the ground like a kite with broken strings.
Jing Yu and the others just walked in from outside the alley, and they looked at the bodies on the ground. Jing Yu took out a map from the leader's pocket. It must be the address of the headquarters. However, the map is somewhat different from the regional divisions of Sushui County and may need to be deciphered. So the brain work was handed over to Chen Xueyun. Fortunately, he had developed a quality of hard work and no complaints.
There is nothing else. It seems that these believers are marginal figures of the Yixin Sect and are pawns that can be discarded at any time. Jing Yu fiddled with the bodies and even boldly took off their clothes and found a mark on the left chest, like a tattoo. This triangle is the emblem of the Yixin Sect, and Jing Yu silently remembered it in his heart.
Song Qian had a hunch that many people were rushing here from afar. He reminded everyone that everyone began to retreat. Before leaving, Jing Yu stripped everyone naked.
It was a familiar inn again. Jing Yu felt that staying in an inn was just like going home. Government officials like them who often sent out field service had to get used to living in various places. I still vaguely remember the first time they slept in the wild. There were no pillows, and Jing Yu had no idea how much clothes he had on as a pillow, but it was difficult to fall asleep and he had to stay up until dawn.
It was better to have Ningqu later. Jing Yu liked to sleep against Ningqu at night, after all, she could act as a pillow. Then Jing Yu was not interested in this way of sleeping, but Ning Qu liked sleeping with Jing Yu in his arms.
Chen Xueyun stayed alone in the guest room, lighting an oil lamp and using the light to decipher the map. The map was indeed Sushui County, but the layout was different. Chen Xueyun's guess was that Yixinjiao had messed up the original map, and the map needed to be restored manually.
After Chen Xueyun tried for two hours to no avail, she gave up the idea of recovery for the time being and started to turn to other angles. Looking at the spiderweb-like passage, an idea came to his mind. (To be continued)
