Chapter 50 Discuss countermeasures and eradicate the evil
Lu Yuanshan was worried that if the news leaked out, the three demon cultivators would escape from the city and cause trouble to surrounding towns. Then it would be difficult to deal with it.
There is a sky-reaching black fire formation that can trap demon cultivators in the city.
As long as you are willing to waste time and effort, you can eventually find out the evil cultivators and eradicate them.
Lu Zhiwei, Lin Han, and Zhang Nianchuan nodded, knowing that this matter was of great importance and there was nothing to be careless about. It was entirely up to Lu Yuanshan to make the decision.
Several people announced their identities. When the soldiers guarding the city heard that they were monks from the Qingshan Sect, their backer, they naturally let them go without daring to intercept them.
After entering the city, the few people did not delay and headed all the way to the city lord's mansion, first to meet Xu Mengyuan.
Xu Mengyuan is the third elder of the Qingshan Sect. He is just over 115 years old. Although he is very old, monks in the Qi training period can generally live to about 120 years old. If you practice Changchun Kung Fu and other health-preserving exercises, you can still live
Live a few more decades.
The Qingshan Sect has very few disciples, and there are only three elders. If you want to take charge of Guangde County, it is best to send an experienced and experienced monk.
Therefore, throughout the Qingshan Sect, only Xu Mengyuan has this qualification.
Xu Mengyuan has now reached the eighth level of Qi training, which is the same as Lu Changfeng. His qualifications are also three spiritual roots. Since he wants to guard Guangde County for a few more years, he started practicing Changchun Gong to maintain his health. In terms of lifespan, he can live for more than 20 years.
Year.
Although twenty years is a long time, for a monk, it is just a fleeting moment.
Once Xu Mengyuan passes away, the sect will need to send new candidates to replace him in Guangde County.
The group of people walked unimpeded and entered the courtyard in the city where Xu Mengyuan was located.
"Hahahaha, I wonder who is here. It turns out to be the leader and Elder Zhiwei."
"Please take a seat quickly."
As soon as he entered the living room, Xu Mengyuan burst into hearty laughter and greeted Lu Yuanshan and his party very politely.
"Elder Xu, long time no see."
Lu Yuanshan greeted him kindly and showed great respect for the old man of the sect without any airs of being a sect leader.
Xu Mengyuan was extremely happy to see Lu Yuanshan. The last time he saw Lu Yuanshan was more than three years ago.
He shook his head jokingly: "Hey, I'm getting old. Even if the boss takes time to come to the county once a year, he can only see me a dozen times at most."
Hearing these words, Lu Zhiwei and others trembled slightly in their hearts.
Thinking about Xu Mengyuan's current life span, I'm afraid that as he said, the true essence will gradually dry up in more than ten years, and the life of this old member of the sect will also come to an end.
Even if a Qi Practitioner over sixty years old obtains the Foundation Establishment Pill, the chance of successfully establishing the Foundation is very low.
The sect is unable to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill for the time being.
Therefore, Xu Mengyuan's path basically stopped at the Qi training stage.
If there was no one in the sect and there was no more suitable candidate, how could this old man be allowed to guard Guangde County alone? He should be able to live in peace and contentment in the sect and spend the last days of his life.
"Every time I meet Elder Xu, you become more and more radiant. Your body and bones are much better than those of us young people. You will definitely be as blessed as the East China Sea and live as long as the Southern Mountains."
"Haha, thanks to the master's good words, I really want to serve the sect for another thirty or forty years."
Several people chatted with each other for a few words.
After drinking tea, Lu Yuanshan spoke without a smile and quickly revealed the purpose of his trip.
"Is there a demon cultivator in this city?"
As soon as he heard that there was a demonic cultivator lurking in Guangde County, Xu Mengyuan's expression suddenly tightened.
Why does he sit in Guangde County?
Of course, in accordance with the order of the sect, we are here to resist the demon cultivators and monsters and protect the safety of the people of Guangde County.
Now that I heard that there is a hidden danger of demon cultivators in the city, how could I not be moved?
"This news is absolutely true. It was only after we got the news that we set off to Guangde County to discuss this matter with you."
"Now, we have to see how we can find out the evil cultivator as soon as possible and eradicate this evil trouble."
Lu Yuanshan said: "There is no room for delay in this matter."
"This matter is indeed no small matter."
When Xu Mengyuan heard this, he also had a serious face.
Where did Lu Yuanshan get the news? He was better informed than the old monk who guarded Guangde County. He didn't ask for the moment. He also knew that he shouldn't ask this question.
If Lu Yuanshan was willing to disclose, he would have taken the initiative to disclose it long ago.
"Elder Xu, how many people are there in Guangde County now?"
Lu Yuanshan asked.
"Last year we counted, the number of mortals and monks together reached more than 97,000."
"The city's population is about to exceed one hundred thousand."
"Yes, I'm worried that if the demonic cultivators in the city take action, it will definitely be a disaster for the people here."
"And it's probably not an easy task to find a demon cultivator among so many people..."
While Lu Yuanshan and Xu Mengyuan were discussing countermeasures, Lu Ping, who was far away in Qingshan Sect, opened the system and teleported to Lu Yuanshan through [Instant Teleportation].
This time, he was prepared to take part in eradicating the hidden evil in Guangde County.
After taking a closer look at Xu Mengyuan, he saw that he was much older than thirty years ago, and had already reached the age of twilight. Lu Ping felt a little emotional about how time makes people grow old, and listened quietly to the discussion.
Everyone mentioned their own ideas on how to find out the demon cultivator.
After hearing his daughter Lu Zhiwei's suggestion of 'sealing the city first, searching later', Lu Ping immediately adopted this suggestion and sent a message to Lu Yuanshan: "Yuanshan, just do as Zhiwei said, first activate the Tongtian Xuanhuo Array.
, blockade Guangde County."
"good."
Lu Yuanshan nodded secretly, conveyed Lu Ping's intention, and agreed to Lu Zhiwei's proposal.
Xu Mengyuan thought it was reasonable after hearing this, and without delay, he immediately issued an order and ordered people to activate the city protection formation at noon that day to isolate the entire Guangde County from the outside world.
Guangde County then entered a closed state, preventing all monks, merchants, and ordinary people from entering or exiting.
"Now that the city has been sealed, the demonic cultivator probably did not leave before the city was sealed. Now he is hiding somewhere in the city, becoming a turtle in a urn."
Xu Mengyuan held his hand on his long white beard and said, "I will immediately send people to conduct a door-to-door search throughout the city. Maybe there will be some gains."
"I don't think it has to be that way."
Lu Yuanshan thought for a while and objected: "This is too inefficient."
He made suggestions.
"Guangde County has a population of nearly 100,000. If we have to conduct house-to-house searches with such a huge population, we may not be able to complete the task even if the search lasts until next year."
"Why don't we separate the mortals from the monks and divide them into two groups to conduct searches."
"What does the leader mean...to focus on searching the monks in the city and greatly reduce the number of searches?"
"good."
Lu Yuanshan nodded: "Although demonic cultivators know how to hide and use demonic skills to cover up their cultivation aura, the demonic aura on their bodies is difficult to conceal and will always leave a trace."
"As long as we pay more attention during the search and use more rigorous search techniques, we should be able to find some clues. It will not be difficult to find the magic cultivator."
Speaking of this, Lu Yuanshan asked: "Have you ever counted the number of monks in the city?"
"It's natural."
Xu Mengyuan replied: "There are currently more than 1,300 registered monks in Guangde County."
"There are more than 1,300 people. Compared with the more than 90,000 people, this search area is not just a tiny bit smaller."
"Why don't we reconvene the monks in the city and register the roster again. During the registration process, we should secretly pay attention to each monk to detect the hidden demonic cultivators. If Elder Xu has no objection, then let's do this first."
"You will still be in charge of the magic circle in the city. Don't act rashly. Leave the rest of the investigation to us."
"In addition, we only have four people here this time, so we are short of manpower. I hope Elder Xu will choose people to assist me."
"This is what it should be. It all depends on the master's orders." This chapter has been completed!
