After spending several years in Zhenmo Ridge, they were almost exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Even though the top spiritual materials from Qionghua Mountain helped them harmonize their bodies and nourish their souls, they still felt extremely tired. After eating a lot of Haisai, the two of them soaked in the huge chalcedony pond and fell into the deepest sleep.
Sleeping.
Lu Qian sat in the lobby, quietly reviewing what he did after arriving at the Demon-Suppressing Ridge.
Domineering, arrogant, rude, and cruel!
This is the impression he deliberately created for certain people.
The thing is very simple.
Yinyuan and Bai Yu are his old friends. Something happened to them, and Lu Qian must save them!
However, the two of them were demoted to be prisoners of the Demon-Suppressing Ridge, and among the prisoners of the Demon-Suppressing Ridge, no one could take away a person from the Demon-Suppressing Ridge unless a sage or the Lord Buddha spoke in person, personally signed a decree, or a Buddhist letter.
A prisoner of crime.
The officials of Zhenmo Ridge, the most inconspicuous clerk in any major town, can easily take away the life of a prisoner whose cultivation level is a hundred or a thousand times that of his own.
This is the rule of Zhenmo Ridge.
Therefore, Lu Qian could only enter the Demon-Suppressing Ridge in person.
Yelu Ting, the city lord, could not remove him from his position as the city lord even with the power of the Suppressing Xuanguang Buddha. Zhenmo Ridge has a unique system and unique rules of Zhenmo Ridge. Unless Yeluting truly colludes with the evil spirits,
As long as he can conscientiously perform his duties as city lord, no one can do anything to him.
To put it more bluntly, Yelu Ting's position as city lord was jointly protected by the eighteen Taoist sages and the thirteen Buddhist lords.
Anyone outside the Zhenmo Ridge system who dares to show any disrespect to Yelu Ting, the city lord, is provoking the thirty-one powerful men mentioned above and seeking death.
Therefore, Lu Qian had no choice but to do it himself for the sake of the hapless young couple - he took the initiative to apply and serve in the ninth city of Zhenzi. With his identity as the true successor of the Buddhist lineage of Zhenzi, he was able to obtain the position of deputy city lord.
Reasonable and extremely appropriate.
Moreover, the higher-ups of the Taoist and Buddhist sects are happy to see the true disciples of various sects serving in the Demon-Suppressing Ridge!
Therefore, Lu Qian took the position of deputy city lord of Zhenzi Ninth City, and he became an insider of the Zhenmo Ridge system. Therefore, he could unscrupulously provoke Yelu Ting. In Zhenmo Ridge's unique system
, under the rules, shelter Yinyuan and Bai Yu.
The price is that this deputy city lord will have to squat for at least a hundred years!
"One hundred years!" Lu Qian crossed his legs, held the tea cup, and sipped the fragrant tea in small sips.
Lu Qian still has no idea what happened to Yinyuan and Bai Yu that caused them to end up like this. But as for himself, in a hundred years, Lu Qian is looking forward to it. In the next hundred years, Lu Qian will
what happened!
plot?
Assassination?
Forcibly beat him to death in full view of everyone?
In his mind, the small ax flashed with faint starlight, and wisps of strange aura spurted out, echoing the Taichu Mixed Beads, and constantly blending into the Fantian Seal. Lu Qian held the tea cup in one hand, and pressed it on his own Zen staff with the other, letting this mixed
The strange breath constantly pours into the Zen staff, reborn, turning decay into magic.
'Da da da'!
A Hu walked in with an inexplicable look on his face, hugged Lu Yi, and was stunned. Then he quickly turned his fist fist into a clasped hand and saluted: "Brother Qi... Someone from the Crime Prison Department of Demon Suppression City came to the door and said
We are involved in a case."
Lu Qian raised his eyebrows and smiled.
He nodded and pointed toward the door: "Have I just sat down? Someone came to the door? It's great. It seems that they can't wait... Tsk, this job is rough... or really
They treat us as soft persimmons who can be manipulated as they please?"
With a wave of his sleeves, the huge lobby was dimmed, and all the tables, chairs and furnishings were turned to dust.
On the wall behind Lu Qian, a huge portrait of the prison-suppressing Xuanguang Buddha slowly hung down, covering the entire wall.
This portrait was blessed by an expert, so as soon as the portrait was unfolded, a round of Buddha's light rose like the sun and enveloped the entire hall. The strange fluctuations of the prison-suppressing force field swept through the void, dispersing all other laws and charms.
Buddhist cultivators who practice the power of suppressing prisons are like a fish in water in this hall.
The great immortals of Taoism and Buddhism who practice any other sect would feel like a fish thrown into the desert when they come here. You can imagine the feeling.
Throwing down a straw futon, Lu Qian sat cross-legged on the futon. With a flick of his head, the eighteen most powerful Dharma protector monks under him showed their chests, holding swords in their hands, like a row of executioners waiting for the stick to fall.
With a fierce look in their eyes, they lined up behind Lu Qian.
It is worth mentioning that the sword used by monks is usually only three feet long.
The swords used by the great monks under Lu Qian are all as high as their bodies, which is about one foot or three feet!
Rather than saying it is a sword, it is better to say it is a guillotine!
Bright, cold, and full of evil spirit!
The sound of gentle footsteps came. A middle-aged man wearing a lavender official robe, a jade belt and a jade seal, with a gentle breath, led a group of more than a dozen real immortals dressed as government servants, and three men with gorgeous clothes.
Together they passed the courtyard gate facing the main entrance of the lobby.
Lu Qian sat cross-legged on the futon, holding a teacup and whistled.
The Buddha's light flickered in the courtyard, and a large group of Taoist monks appeared out of thin air. They opened their arms and blocked the group of people silently.
Ahu, Yudianhu, one on the left and one on the right, like two Vajras guarding the door, lowered their heads and muttered a few words to the man in purple robe. After an argument, the man in purple robe had a gloomy face and only brought three people with him.
One of the men in fine clothes crossed the courtyard one after another and came to the lobby.
The lobby was empty, not even a chair!
Lu Qian raised his head and said calmly: "The young monk devotes himself to hard work, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and follows the path of an ascetic... Therefore, there are no tables, chairs or beds. If you two are willing, just sit on the floor. If you don't want to, just sit on the floor."
, just stand!"
Picking up the jade-heart tea cup with lingering clouds of clouds and being worth at least hundreds of thousands of high-grade fairy crystals in your hand, I took a sip of it. The fragrance is astounding and the aura is lingering. The market price of one kilogram is one million high-grade spiritual stones.
The fine fairy tea was served, and after spitting out the fragrant tea fragrance, Lu Qian sighed: "As the saying goes, guests do as they please... You two are not too picky, right?"
The man in purple robe was stunned for a long time.
He looked at the tea cup in Lu Qian's hand, then smelled the fragrance of tea that Lu Qian was spraying, silently calculated the price of the set of items in Lu Qian's hand, and then kept sneering.
What an ascetic monk who practices asceticism!
Taking a deep breath, the man in purple robe coughed heavily several times.
The prison-suppressing Buddha's light emitted from the Buddha statue behind Lu Qian enveloped the hall. This purple-robed man practiced orthodox Taoist Taoism, which was incompatible with the prison-suppressing power. He took a deep breath, and all he inhaled was thick and heavy.
The prison-suppressing aura almost choked his lungs.
After coughing violently for a few times and rolling his eyes at Lu Qian angrily, the man in purple robe took out a contract of sale from his sleeve.
"Deputy City Lord of Fahai, I am Xia Mingdao, the head of the Prison Department of Demon City. This visit is about a female prisoner in the Ninth City of Zhenzi City." Xia Mingdao said in a deep voice: "Deputy City Lord
You should know that criminals can be bought and sold freely... As long as criminals do not leave the city where they belong, anyone, whether officials or civilians, can buy and sell freely, and then... control their life and death?"
Lu Qian nodded and said calmly: "I know!"
The criminals in Zhenmo Ridge are evil.
After all the criminal prisoners were demoted to the major towns in Zhenmo Ridge, first of all, they became the private property of the city guard.
Those who are capable can collude with the officials of the city guard, large and small, to freely buy and sell these prisoners, control their life and death, and control their destiny at will.
Especially those pretty female cultivators, if they become prisoners of the city, their final fate will probably be to be sold to some private individuals by the city guard for less than three cents, and then... their fate
One can imagine.
This kind of transaction is legal and protected by the rules of Zhenmo Ridge.
As long as the person who redeems the prisoners does not take the prisoners out of the town where they belong and does not take off the prisoners' bodies for them, no matter what they do to these prisoners, it is reasonable and legal!
Xia Mingdao opened the contract with both hands and showed it to Lu Qian.
"This is Shan Youren, the big boss of Renyi Bank, who imprisoned Bai Yu..."
Xia Mingdao was about to explain the origin of this contract when Lu Qian waved his hand gently: "No need to talk nonsense. You just want to tell me that the ownership rights of Bai Yu are in the hands of this Taoist friend behind you. I
It is illegal to keep her!"
Xia Mingdao smiled and nodded: "The deputy city lord is a sensible person. Such are the rules!"
Lu Qian looked behind Xia Mingdao, a man in fine clothes who was a little bloated and whose cultivation level was at the level of the first level of the True Immortal: "So, you are Bai Yuan's nominal master now? In this case, why would you let her go?
In the human face flower?"
Shaking his head, still not waiting for the man to explain, Lu Qian smiled and said: "No matter what you do, after all, this is your method. This contract, even if I destroy it..."
Xia Mingdao hurriedly smiled and said: "You can't destroy it. This is a formal contract filed with the Prison Department!"
Lu Qian ignored Xia Ming and said: "Even if I destroy it, you estimate that you can still come up with ten or eight similar contracts... In short, you just don't want Bai Yu to live too happily, and you just want to give it to me.
Looking for trouble, aren’t you?”
Xia Mingdao blinked, glanced at the man in rich clothes beside him, thought for a moment, and took two steps back.
He is just the head of the Criminal Prison Department. Although he has the supreme power of life and death when facing criminal prisoners, facing a deputy city lord with an overly tough background like Lu Qian... what does this matter have to do with him?
It's just a contract, and they spent real money to ask him to certify the contract.
He authenticated and witnessed it.
If you want to fight, then let's do it... The Criminal Division is not the department responsible for "public security" and "law and discipline" in the city. If you break your brains for a criminal, what does it have to do with Xia Mingdao?
Anyway, the money is already in your pocket and I don’t care whether you live or die.
Xia Mingdao gave up.
The filial piety given to him by the man in fine clothes is not worth his speaking for the other party. What happens next depends on the performance of the man in fine clothes.
The man in rich clothes took a step forward, with a weird smile on his slightly greasy round face!
"Deputy City Lord Mingjian, I fell in love with Miss Bai Yu at first sight..."
The next moment, the man in gorgeous clothes exploded into pieces of flesh that filled the sky, and his immortal soul and true immortal person were completely annihilated.
