In the southern suburbs of the city, Xiaotao Town.
Cao Su accompanied Tianwusi and arrived here again.
On the slope ten miles outside Xiaotao Town, the peach trees have gradually withered.
Fallen peach blossoms cover the green hills, and in the mist of smoke, residents can be seen rebuilding their homes.
If you can go deep into the town, you can still find traces of the fire.
Tianwusi, along with the Imperial Army, took control of this place three days ago.
Most of the warriors are just performers and don't know why they come here. From the looks of it, it seems like they are performing martial arts in Xiaotao Town.
The leader of the Tianwu Division is a deputy governor.
"Yuan Zongshang, the governor of the Tianwu Division, is in Ruzhou to quell the rebellion. Deputy Town Luo is in charge of all matters of the Tianwu Division."
Qiu Bai stood next to Cao Su. Several of them were seconded personnel from the Tianwu Division, and they all stood relatively outside.
The town is basically full of people from Tianwusi.
A large number of Gongweisi people wearing python and tiger suits appeared in the town, controlling every inch of the land in the streets and alleys.
The residents of the town were trembling, wondering why so many officials from the divine capital came.
What did you commit, so serious?
Is it something that happened a few days ago? Or is it just because the flowers in Xiaotao Town are blooming?
Residents kept their doors tightly closed and occasionally looked through the cracks in their doors to observe what was going on on the street.
"Cao Baihu!"
While Cao Su was chatting with Qiu Bai, a group of cavalry rushed over from the town and rushed in front of Cao Su.
Qiu Bai immediately took a step forward and stretched out his hand to block the billowing smoke and dust for Cao Su.
"Why are you rushing so fast?"
Qiu Bai immediately scolded him with a "dog leg" angrily. The cavalryman took off his mask, reined in his horse, clasped his fists and said, "Cao Baihu, your Majesty the Governor has invited you!"
Luo Liang is looking for him?
When Cao Su's mission was assigned before, it was relatively simple, which was to sit around Xiaotao Town and stabilize the guards. Now he has to be given a new mission?
He was deep in thought, holding the knife and taking a step forward.
He responded loudly: "Let's go!"
…
On the green hillside outside the town.
Three thousand forbidden troops are stationed here, with their flags flying high, swords and guns like a forest, and soldiers in groups.
Leading the army was the captain of the imperial army and Luo Liang, the deputy governor of the Tianwu Division of the Imperial Guard.
Luo Liang was wearing bright white silver armor and was guarded by soldiers. He was sitting on a tall war horse, overlooking Xiaotao Town.
From here, you can have a panoramic view of Xiaotao Town, its terrain, buildings, etc.
Cao Su came with the cavalry.
Luo Liang silently observed Cao Su.
When I first saw Cao Su, my first impression was that he looked like a fierce general. He was extremely tall and burly, with strong arms and strong eyes. He had cold eyes and a fierce aura honed on the battlefield.
It doesn't seem like a human being, but a lion that eats people.
"Luozhen."
Cao Su cupped his fists at Luo Liang.
Luo Liang nodded and said: "He is indeed a veteran in the army, with extraordinary momentum."
"Luo Town is overly praised."
Cao Su smiled faintly, wildly guessing what Luo Liang wanted to do.
Luo Liang said: "There is something I need you to do."
"Luo Zhendan said it doesn't matter."
"Starting from tomorrow, Xiaotao Town will be sealed off. Today, the Guards Department will search for the evil spirits in Xiaotao Town, and they will also find experts from your Yao Jing Department to investigate."
"But there is a lake in the south of Xiaotao Town. This lake is called "Qingxi Lake". The lake is vast and the water is extremely deep. The people under my command cannot fully explore the lake."
Luo Liang talked about Qingxi Lake, and Cao Su's heart moved. He was familiar with this lake. It was said that the water monster the Du family encountered also came from this lake.
Is there something fishy in this lake?
What does Luo Liang mean?
"The closure of Xiaotao Town is a first-class matter. There should be no surprises. Qingxi Lake is vast, and I intend to increase manpower to explore it."
"You are a master of Jingyao Division, and you have solved major cases one after another. This time, you are the main force in mobilizing manpower to investigate Qingxi Lake."
When Cao Su heard this, he understood that he was going to do one more task today, to investigate Qingxi Lake. Although he was not investigating alone, he was the main force and had to lead people to investigate.
What can be found here?
Although Cao Su didn't care in his heart, he agreed: "Don't worry, the governor, Qingxi Lake will be clean and there won't be any evil contamination."
Luo Liang heard Cao Su's statement and nodded with satisfaction.
After he gave Cao Su some more instructions, Cao Su left the place, found Qiu Bai and four others, and went to Qingxi Lake to investigate.
…
Qingxi Lake is not big.
Whether compared with Daye Lake on the edge of Yincheng or Daze, the lake in the north of Guyue City, it is much smaller.
The boundary of Qingxi Lake can be seen with the naked eye.
At this moment, many people from the Tianwu Sect had gathered, and there were several fishing boats floating on the lake, and the mist was rising.
After Cao Su arrived, a general from the Tianwu Division came to pay him a visit.
"Cao Baihu, brothers have already checked it out and found nothing wrong."
Cao Su walked to the lake. The water was very clear, and the water plants in the lake could be seen clearly.
"Cao Baihu, let's get on the boat and take a look. If there's anything fishy, it must be in the lake."
"The demon in the lake, the ghost in the water. This lake is three poles high in the sun and there is such steaming mist. Maybe there is something strange about it."
Several of his subordinates could not express their feelings.
Zhou Wei snorted coldly and walked to the lake, mumbling something.
A Taoist charm immediately condensed on her body, and her green hair rose without wind.
"Our Taoist Master Zhou's "Destroying Divine Eyes" is one of the most famous Taoist techniques in the Taoist Palace."
A few warriors were completely ignorant of Taoism and were making random comments on the sidelines.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
It's like I understand.
"disease!"
But I heard Zhou Wei shout softly.
Drawing a circle with his hand, he slapped his palm, and a halo of light quickly expanded and was imprinted on the lake surface.
Waves appeared on the lake surface, and the aperture submerged under the lake water.
Zhou Wei put away her magic power and frowned slightly.
"how?"
Cao Su took a step forward and asked.
Zhou Wei answered him in a low voice: "There seems to be some resistance under the lake surface. My Falling Cloud Palm shouldn't only hit this deep."
"Yes, Luo Yunzhang is good, and the lake is indeed a little deeper. I'll take a look later."
Cao Su nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.
Several people behind him also laughed a few times.
"The last time I came to this lake, it didn't look like this. What happened to this lake?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhou Wei noticed some problems, but was not sure.
"Get on board."
Cao Su didn't say anything more and directly ordered everyone to get on the boat.
…
The fishing boat drifted and sailed into the middle of the lake.
Cao Su stood at the bow of the ship, holding his knife and silently looking around.
Warriors have strong energy and have their own perception ability.
After entering the fourth level, this perception has been significantly enhanced, and Cao Su can clearly detect the activities of living creatures within a depth of ten feet below the surface of the water.
There are fish, shrimps...aquatic creatures are active in the water.
Above the water, there is still a thin mist.
"Cao Baihu, have you found anything?"
When outsiders are present, Zhou Wei will address Cao Su as an official.
Cao Su glanced at her doubtfully: "Where is the new Taoist method you refined last time? Can't you investigate it in depth?"
"Are you talking about the "Delusion-Breaking Divine Eye"? That is Hui Ling, a soul-catching pupil technique. The detection effect is average. The biggest effect should be to help the caster get rid of illusions and reach the state of truth-seeking."
Zhou Wei explained a little bit.
Cao Su nodded: "Yes, I understand."
The people below listened carefully with their ears pricked up, and nodded quickly, silently reading the illiteracy.
"To explore this lake, you need to use stronger perception. It is rumored that a fourth-grade warrior can attach his spirit to his weapon and use it in conjunction with his inner strength to achieve the good effect of spying on all things. Why don't you try this trick?"
Although Zhou Wei is a Taoist, she is knowledgeable and proficient in both martial arts. The "Luo Yun Palm" before was also a two-way Taoist technique derived from martial arts.
Using mana can become Taoism, and using inner energy can become martial arts.
"You can indeed try this trick, but now is not the time. There is an abnormality in the lake. The governor must have known something, otherwise he would not have asked me to come and explore it."
"I want to gather everyone together to explore the center of the lake together."
In fact, Cao Su has not mastered this move yet, and he has only entered the fourth level for a short period of time.
Jing Yaosi's detection methods usually rely on martial arts sensing or the powerful Taoist skills of monks.
Cao Su thought that he could intensify his exploration of the places where Zhou Wei felt strange just now and gather everyone together.
With more warriors, Qi and blood gather, and the effect becomes more obvious.
Cao Su is currently the highest-ranking member of the Guards Division who is currently exploring Qingxi Lake. The others are military attachés such as the General Banner and Xiaoqi. In addition, he has been appointed by Luo Liang as the leader of the expedition to Qingxi Lake. This order
, and everyone gathered immediately.
Except for a few people from the Tianwu Division, they said it was too far and would not come for the time being.
"This clearly means that we, Cao Baihu, are not taken seriously!" Qiu Bai was furious and felt angry for Cao Su.
"Don't worry about them."
Cao Su's eyes flashed and he led everyone to gather in the center of Qingxi Lake.
"Everyone, there may be something going on in the lake. Let's use the Qi machine to sense it together!"
Following Cao Su's order, the blood and internal energy of dozens of warriors began to circulate.
A series of qi machines immediately penetrated into the lake, and the entire lake seemed to be stirred up, with whirlpools of different sizes appearing.
