236, No. ruthless, real affectionate, clear snow is not cold
After a while.
Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue came to the three-story wooden building again.
The overseers and guards in the mine have been eliminated, and the mine slaves have been rescued and are resting in the mine.
After the two of them came out of the well, Shen Lang went straight to the small wooden building to capture the Taoist monk first.
Shen Lang swept his mental energy into the small building and chuckled:
"That guy is really capable of doing things. He is actually still doing exercises. He is indeed a wild monk. He doesn't even meditate and meditate at this late hour..."
Mu Qingxue looked at him sideways, with doubts in her eyes:
"do excercise?"
Shen Lang said seriously:
"A certain sport for adults requires the cooperation of a man and a woman. Proper exercise is good for physical and mental health, but overindulgence will deprive you of blood and will."
Mu Qingxue understood immediately and rolled her eyes at him angrily:
"I'll guard the door, you go in and arrest the person."
Shen Lang nodded with a smile:
"good."
He jumped into the courtyard, and in the gatehouse on the first floor of the small building, before the two sixth-level warriors guarding the door could react, they were knocked to the ground by him with two fingers from a distance.
With Shen Lang's current level of cultivation, he didn't even need to cast spells to deal with warriors below fifth grade, he could just snap his fingers.
Even if you are a fifth-grade warrior, unless you are a genius with extraordinary talents, you can only do one or two palm strikes.
After taking care of the two sixth-grade warriors, Shen Lang jumped up again and jumped directly to the window on the third floor. He used his mental power to scan the location of the Taoist cultivator and pointed out it through the window paper.
Soul-destroying curse.
The wild monk who was doing exercises on the couch was shaken all over and jumped forward, causing the female training partner beneath him to groan in pain. Just as he was about to complain, Shen Lang opened the window and came in through the window, and another wisp of fingers popped out.
The wind hit the woman's sleeping point, causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
After that, Shen Lang walked forward, lifted the wild monk whose mind was blank from the "soul-destroying curse" off the couch, covered the sleeping woman with a quilt, and then found a robe from the hanger beside the bed.
, wrapped up the wild monk, and then sent a message to Mu Qingxue:
"Come in, we've caught it."
Mu Qingxue received the summons and replied in surprise:
"So fast?"
Shen Lang chuckled:
"I am now a fifth-grade monk after all. I can't deal with a wild monk who can't even control his spiritual power. Isn't it easy to catch him?"
"It's only the fifth grade, don't be proud."
"But I have reached the fifth level of martial arts and have reached the state of great achievement. I have already sensed the inspiration of heaven and earth. I can condense the true energy seeds at any time with 100% success."
"..."
Mu Qingxue did not send any more messages, jumped in from the window, glanced at Shen Lang, and said calmly:
"The person standing in front of you is a second-grade Gang Qi realm warrior under the age of twenty-two."
Shen Lang was startled, and Su Rong held his hand:
"Disrespect, disrespect!"
Mu Qingxue burst into laughter and said:
"Okay, stop playing tricks. Get ready for interrogation."
Shen Lang nodded and pointed at the woman:
"I want to use magic to interrogate this monk. Please help send this woman to the next room to avoid accidental injury."
Mu Qingxue joked:
“How did the ‘cold-blooded massacre’ of people who had always been ruthless and ruthless become so compassionate and compassionate today?”
Shen Lang was stunned:
"Cold-blooded massacre?"
Mu Qingxue said in surprise:
"You don't know? This is your title on the black market. Now it has spread, and many people in the world call you that."
Shen Lang frowned and said:
"This title is not very kind...it is clearly trying to ruin my reputation! No, I have to think of an upright nickname..."
Mu Qingxue smiled sweetly:
"Don't be naive. What kind of good reputation do we, the Shenpaitang people, want to have in the black market? Even if you give yourself an upright nickname, the title given to you on the black market has already spread, and people in the world have already preconceived it.
How do I call you, and how do I call you."
Shen Lang asked curiously:
"So, your reputation on the black market isn't that good either?"
Mu Qingxue chuckled and said:
"There is a legend in the world that I once wiped out twenty-seven bandit villages in one night and beheaded thousands of people. I was ruthless and ruthless, so I was given the title of 'Ruthless Iron Judge'. It sounds a little nicer than yours."
Some."
After learning about Mu Qingxue's title, Shen Lang immediately became happy and was no longer depressed about his nickname. He smiled and said:
"Cold-blooded slaughter, ruthless iron judgment... Haha, one of us is cold-blooded and the other is ruthless, we are really a perfect match."
Mu Qingxue also felt that this title was quite suitable, and she laughed out loud.
Shen Lang asked again: "Speaking of which, have you really beheaded thousands of people in one night?"
Mu Qingxue asked, "What do you think?"
Shen Lang shook his head: "I don't believe it. Back then on King Shark Island, I didn't see you going on a killing spree in the pirate den. Even the backbone of the pirates and the leader, as long as they surrendered, you never killed any prisoners. With your character,
I’m afraid I can’t do that kind of cruel trick.”
Mu Qingxue smiled sweetly:
"You know me. There were some people who wiped out twenty-seven bandit villages in one night, but the total number of people I killed on the spot was only about a hundred. They were all old bandits who had suffered heavy blood debts and had resisted to the end. Other bandits
, it’s just an arrest, a process of identifying crimes, and judging the crimes in accordance with the law.”
After saying that, she wrapped the woman in a quilt and sent her to the next room. When she came back, Shen Lang had already made seals and recited the mantra and was ready.
"Help me wake him up," Shen Lang said.
As soon as Mu Qingxue pointed out, the dazed wild monk suddenly woke up, but before he could make any reaction, a strange and strange magic sound sounded in his ears.
"The sea of suffering is boundless and you can find the shore. If you put down the butcher's knife, you can immediately become a Buddha. The sea of suffering is boundless and you can only find the shore. If you put down the butcher's knife, you can immediately become a Buddha..."
Hearing the curse, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but frown slightly, took two steps back, and looked at Shen Lang subtly.
The spell "Transferring Curse" is a spiritual spell of the lineage of Venerable Liuli.
Mu Qingxue also saw Venerable Liuli perform it once.
When the Bodhisattva in white clothed in the moonlight performs it, it makes a fairy sound float in the air, just like the sound of nature. It also has the magical effect of sweet rain falling from the sky and golden lotus rising from the ground. It can wash away the darkness of people's hearts, awaken people's conscience and good thoughts, and make people feel heartfelt.
I felt remorseful in my heart.
And Shen Lang's "Transfer Curse"...
how to say?
The demonic singing voice only makes people feel evil and gloomy, without the slightest hint of the grandeur of Buddhist secret mantras.
"Sure enough, there is a great devil hiding in Shen Lang's heart..."
Mu Qingxue sighed in her heart and secretly made up her mind:
"If in the future he really loses control and falls into the devil's path, sinking into the abyss of the stars... I will have no choice but to risk my life to bring him back to the human world."
If he knew what Mu Qingxue was thinking, Shen Lang would definitely cry out for injustice.
His "Curse to Save People" sounds evil and gloomy. What does it have to do with the devil's nature or not?
This is purely because he wants to scratch his skin and imitate "Pudu Cihang"...
Even with Mu Qingxue's cultivation level, Shen Lang's "Human Curse" was a bit difficult to resist, let alone the wild monk.
As soon as the curse sounded, the wild monk suddenly held his head in pain, feeling like a bunch of flies buzzing into his ears and trying their best to get into his brain.
In fact, Shen Lang was a little nervous at this time.
If this wild monk is like Liao Yuan and Eunuch Liao, and is restricted in his soul, then his "Human Curse" will turn into a real "life-killing Sanskrit sound", which will directly detonate the restriction and kill the wild monk.
.
But if there are really restrictions in the soul, normal torture will be useless.
No matter how tortured he was, it was still impossible for the other party to reveal even half a word of the secret, so it would be better to gamble with the more efficient "Transfer Curse".
Fortunately, placing restrictions on the soul is an extremely high-end Taoist technique and cannot be mastered by ordinary monks.
The boss behind this wild monk seemed to have not mastered this technique. After holding his head in pain for a while, his eyes gradually became blank and even showed regret.
Seeing that the spell was taking effect, Shen Lang said in a deep voice:
"Who are you?"
The words also have the effect of the "mantra to save people", they are vast and majestic, just like the voice of the Buddha coming from the sky.
Hearing the majestic and upright voice, Mu Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that although there was a dark and evil "devil" hidden in Shen Lang's heart, there was also an upright and bright "god".
As long as the "god" can always suppress the "demon", Shen Lang will not fall into the devil's path.
The wild monk trembled slightly and kowtowed respectfully to Shen Lang:
"Duan Hong, a practicing monk in the mountains, met with the Zen master."
"Duan Hong?"
Shen Lang nodded slightly and continued to ask in that majestic and majestic tone, which sounded like the voice of the Buddha from outside the world:
"What are you doing here?"
"According to the order of the Lord, I am here to guard the mine veins and collect black gold sand."
Having said this, a trace of regret appeared on Duan Hong's face:
"Slave workers in the mines are all deceived, forcibly kidnapped refugees, beggars and even good family members. The villains know clearly that the slave workers have no clothes on their bodies, no food on their bellies, and work all day long, yet they still get offended and are whipped and abused.
He was even tortured to death...but remained indifferent, and even acted as an aide to the tiger...The villain spent his childhood reading the books of sages in vain, and his crime deserves ten thousand deaths. His crime deserves ten thousand death!"
As he spoke, his voice was choked with tears, and his face was filled with tears. He also hit the floor with his forehead repeatedly, making the floor make a loud noise.
Shen Lang was worried that he would knock him awake and get rid of the effect of the spell, so he quickly asked again in that loud voice:
"Your boss, is that Mr. Hu?"
Listening to Shen Lang's questions, Duan Hong stopped the impact, raised his already red, swollen and bruised forehead, and choked with sobs:
"No. Although Hu Yuanwai is the owner of the mine, my lord has someone else. After Hu Yuanwai contracted the mine, he discovered that there was actually a gold vein under the shallow copper mine, so he hid the news and mined it privately, but he was worried about being exposed.
, so I found a way to get on my lord's line, and offered black gold sand and people to my lord in exchange for my lord's protection..."
Hearing this, Shen Lang's eyes narrowed:
"Sacrifice the population?"
Duan Hong nodded:
“Refugees and beggars, dilapidated small households, lone foreigners, unruly mining slaves who refuse to obey discipline, bandits roaming the mountains and forests, and even local decent people who have offended the Hu family but have no foundation... There is no distinction between good and bad, good or bad.
Bad, as long as you are strong and healthy, you can send them to my master. At least ten people will be sent to you every month..."
Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue looked at each other and knew that they had caught the real owner and caught a big fish.
But Shen Lang was not in a hurry to ask about the identity of the "Lord".
Because this kind of question is a core secret and even a "taboo" in people's hearts.
If this "taboo" is triggered without completely breaking down his defenses, the spell may be ineffective on the spot and the other party may wake up.
If you continue to forcefully cast the spell, the other party will become defensive and the effect will only be worse than the first time.
And now, the way Hong calls the people behind the scenes is still the honorific title of "Lord". Obviously, his defense has not completely collapsed, and he still has awe in his heart for his "Lord".
At that moment, Shen Lang did not ask about the identity of the "Lord", but only asked in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, what can you do with such a large population?"
Duan Hong cried:
"I don't know either. I am originally from the capital city and my family is not well off. However, my parents died early and my family gradually declined.
"I want to study for scientific examinations and revive my family business, but I don't have the talent to study. I also want to practice martial arts and earn a future through martial arts, but I can't bear the hardship of practicing martial arts. I also want to practice Taoism, but my talent is limited and I can't pass the exam.
Metropolitan Temple.
"In the end, I could only spend all my wealth and favors, find a way to the Lord, beg the Lord for a Gu, and manage to get some surgical techniques...
"There are people like me, the Lord has many subordinates, and they can only help him with running errands and doing chores. Like me, I can only guard the mines in the deep mountains and old forests... The Lord's real secrets are not mine and others.
What can be known...
"But I know that those who contribute to the Lord will definitely end up miserable. Because the Lord... He is good at raising Gu insects! Why does he have so many people doing it every month? It must be the essence and blood of living people.
God, I fed the worm!"
At this point, he began to hit the floor again and again, and kept muttering, "I am not a human being, I am a collaborator, and I have no conscience..."
He is good at raising voodoo insects and feeding them with people...
Then feeding monsters with humans is also a routine operation!
Shen Lang knew that all the clues had been connected. Duan Hong's "master" was most likely the owner of the four-armed demon owl!
He looked at Mu Qingxue and saw that Duan Hong was banging his head and confessing again. Shen Lang quickly recited a few words "The sea of suffering is boundless and there is a shore" to deepen the brainwashing to prevent Duan Hong from really knocking him awake. Then he asked again:
"Cheng Xin and Guan Yue of the Wind Chasing Faction were also given to your family master?"
Duan Hong murmured:
"Yes, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue from the Wind Chasing Faction have been working in the mine for three months. Before that, they had been working on the periphery and had never been in the mine. They didn't know how miserable the mine slaves were. They thought that the mine slaves just didn't have enough to eat.
, not dressed warmly, often beaten...
"On the second day of junior high school, they came to work in the mine. Out of curiosity, they went down into the mine. They were wandering around and accidentally saw the sinkhole with hundreds of corpses... The young man was still conscience-stricken and didn't know what the world was up to. He actually came out to question him and threatened to report him to the official. Why?
He refused to listen to the persuasion and resorted to martial arts to take action...
"Their martial arts are indeed good, with fast movements and fierce kicks. They are worthy of being disciples of the Wind Chasing Sect who have received the true inheritance. Sixth grade versus sixth grade, two versus four, they can still have the upper hand. It's a pity...
"It's a pity that I was so obsessed at that time that I actually attacked them, restrained them with magic, weakened them, made them invincible and captured them, and then handed them over to the disciples sent by the Lord to rescue them..."
At this point, Duan Hong burst into tears again, banging the floor loudly and banging his forehead so hard that blood flowed:
"I'm not a human being, I'm a beast! Two young men with strong consciences and chivalrous spirit were harmed by me like this. I'm not a human being..."
It's really not human.
Shen Lang looked at Duan Hong expressionlessly, knowing that his confession was not from his heart at all, but was just the effect of the "Transfer Curse".
When the spell failed, he turned back into the villain who was greedy for profit and worked for others.
Not bothering to stop Duan Hong from harming himself, Shen Lang said calmly:
"Is Shen Wu, the chief disciple of the Wind Chasing Sect, having an affair with you?"
Duan Hong shook his head:
"Although Hu Yuanwai has hooked up with the master, he still feels that the force he controls is not strong enough. The Wind Chasing Faction is the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion. The selection criteria are strict and there are many masters in the sect, so Hu Yuanwai has been trying to get involved.
Chasing the wind.
"The year before last, he learned that Shen Wu, the leader of the Wind-Chasing Sect, was traveling down the mountain and found out his whereabouts. Hu Yuanwai deliberately arranged a drama about a hero saving a beauty. He wanted to marry his daughter to Shen Wu and control Shen Wu through his daughter.
, and then slowly penetrated and took control of the Wind Chasing Faction, but unfortunately Shen Wu is a wooden person..."
Shen Lang was startled and said curiously:
"The incident of Shen Wu rescuing Hu Yuanwai's daughter from a flower picker the year before last was actually arranged by Hu Yuanwai?"
Duan Hong murmured:
"Hu Yuanwai has so many masters guarding even the mines. How could his daughter not be surrounded by masters when she travels? How can a mere flower-picking thief who was defeated by Shen Wu in three moves have the ability to get involved with Hu Yuanwai's daughter?"
Shen Lang shook his head and sighed:
"Hu Yuanwai is very ambitious. He actually wants to take a long-term view and control the Wind Chasing Faction through Shen Wu... Fortunately, Shen Wu is a fool, otherwise wouldn't he be able to succeed?"
After a pause, I finally asked the core question:
"Who is your master?"
At this point in the interrogation, all the clues have been matched.
Duan Hong's boss was the real culprit who used humans to feed demons. Although Hu Yuanwai was not that man's direct subordinate, he was protected by him and was his accomplice.
Although Duan Hong was still calling "Lord" habitually, there was no awe in his tone, and instead sounded a bit like gnashing of teeth and hatred. Shen Lang felt that the time had come to ask.
In addition, Shen Lang really didn't expect that Cheng Xin and Guan Yue actually agreed with his reasoning. After seeing things that exceeded their bottom line with their own eyes, their consciences discovered it, which resulted in bad luck.
This made Shen Lang feel both relieved and a little regretful. What was gratifying was, of course, not that his reasoning was accurate, but that Cheng Xin and Guan Yue's conscience was still intact and they did not make the same mistake after all. Unfortunately, it was the two of them who were killed.
.
It can only be said that Cheng Xin and Guan Yue have just started training, so their experience is too little. They are also too confident in their own martial arts.
If it were Shen Lang, after discovering the tiankeng, he would just pretend that he didn't see it and would never make any announcement. He would only quietly collect evidence and then wait for an opportunity to escape. He would not go to Tongshan County to report to the official in the future - Tongshan
The county government is no longer trustworthy.
If he were more cautious, he could not even trust the elder brother Shen Wu who introduced him to work in the mine. Therefore, he could not go back to the mountain gate to report to Master Zhou. He could only sneak to the capital as quickly as possible and report directly to Shen Captang.
Eucalyptus.
Unfortunately, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue were not as cautious as Shen Lang, and they innocently lost their lives.
When Shen Lang sighed secretly, he heard Duan Hong say:
"My master...is the master of the 'Yujing Temple', Master Guo Kaiguo."
Guo Kai?
Real person Guo?
Shen Lang glanced at Mu Qingxue in surprise and said:
"Is there still another Guo Zhenren in the world?"
Mu Qingxue said:
"Many Taoist temple owners and even old Taoist priests who don't know Taoism are called 'Zhenren', but this is just a title and is not the same as 'Da Zhenren', a first-level Taoist."
After a pause, she spoke solemnly:
"But I know that Guo Kai of Yujing Temple is a magician who is favored by the emperor. The emperor also gave him the Yujing Temple. He was also given the title of 'Yujing Dharma Master' and enjoyed third-level treatment.
.His cultivation level is said to be of the third level of Taoism and Dharma.
"However, although Guo Kai has a high status and strong cultivation, he acts very low-key. He never gets involved in political affairs and does not do anything to bully others. He only focuses on pleasing the emperor. But he did not expect that he has another face secretly!"
Shen Lang frowned: "He is actually the emperor's man again! What Guo Kai did was also authorized by the emperor?"
Mu Qingxue pursed her lips and said calmly:
"The current emperor is indeed..."
She wanted to say "It's not a thing", but in the end she endured it and just said calmly:
"Guo Kai used people to feed Gu, which is like feeding people to demons. Regardless of whether the emperor ordered it or not, this is a crime that is unconscionable and cannot be pardoned. Now that the real culprit behind the scenes has been found, Guo Kai can be directly arrested.
Already."
Shen Lang said: "When will Hu Yuanwai be arrested?"
Mu Qingxue said: "What do you think?"
Shen Lang knew that Mu Qingxue was testing him, he put his finger on his chin, pondered for a while, and said slowly:
"The Hu family cannot be touched for the time being. The Hu family is in the county town, and there are many people. Moreover, they open gold mines privately, use mine slaves, and pay tribute to Guo Kaifeng at least ten people every month...
"Having committed such evil deeds, he has never been exposed. In addition to being protected by Guo Kai, he must also have had an affair with the Tongshan County Government.
"If we arrest the Hu family in Tongshan County and delay our efforts, Guo Kai might know the news in advance, destroy the evidence in time, or even escape into the palace to seek asylum from the emperor, so..."
He suddenly pointed out a "soul-destroying curse" and stunned Duan Hong, and then continued:
"We must rush back to the capital before the news leaks out, inform Lord Yan, and arrest Guo Kai before the emperor intervenes!"
Mu Qingxue smiled slightly:
"Yes, that's exactly what it should be."
After a pause, he asked him again:
"Then what do you think we should do with the mine?"
Shen Lang said decisively:
"First arrest all the guards and supervisors, and rescue all the mining slaves. I will stay and work with Shen Wu to organize the mining slaves to watch over the supervisors and guards, and we will not allow any mining slaves to leave for the time being to avoid leaking the news."
Mu Qingxue smiled and asked:
"You were the one who discovered this thing, and you were the one who tracked it down all the way. For this reason, you didn't even bother to wait for me to leave the customs. You went to Liuli Temple first, then to Wuyang Mansion, to Xiaoyue Mountain, to Pingpo Township, and then non-stop.
I rushed to Tongshan County and went deep into the deep mountains and forests all night long... After such hard work, I finally broke the eucalyptus and found the real culprit, but you don't want to take the credit for catching the real culprit?"
Shen Lang shook his head:
"I'm not pursuing this case for credit. I just want to seek justice for those victims who were devoured by the demon lord, and I want to bring the demon-eating demon to justice.
"If it weren't for you and Master Yan, of course I would catch the real culprit myself. No matter how strong Guo Kai is, I would still give it a try. But since you are here and Master Yan is here, why should I show off? Do what I can.
That’s fine.”
Mu Qingxue smiled sweetly:
"Actually, with your talent, if you serve the emperor, you will be a prince in the future. After entering the Shenqi Hall, not to mention getting promoted and making a fortune, you will also offend the emperor from time to time and attract the emperor's hatred. Do you ever regret it?"
Shen Lang chuckled and sighed:
"I feel like there is a couplet missing at the entrance of Shenhua Hall."
Mu Qingxue was slightly startled. She didn't know why he avoided her question, but she still asked:
"What couplet is missing?"
Shen Lang stared at Mu Qingxue and said word by word:
"Please go elsewhere to get promoted and make a fortune. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't come here."
Only then did Mu Qingxue realize that Shen Lang was not avoiding her question, but gave a perfect answer.
She silently recited the couplets spoken by Shen Lang, feeling filled with emotions in her heart.
If you want to join the Shen Catching Hall, you need to be recommended by a reliable senior catching officer.
But if you want to leave Shencat Hall and join someone else's sect, you can leave as you please and you will never face any difficulties.
In the past, the great Chu State also had a situation where the emperor was wise, the officials were honest, and the people were upright and prosperous.
At that time, Yan Tianying had not yet presided over the Shen Cat Hall. At that time, the head catchers could still get strong support from the court, with sufficient funds, abundant resources, and no shortage of manpower. There was even a Shen Cat Hall in every city.
of affiliated organizations.
But times have finally changed.
The world is becoming more and more prosperous, and materials are becoming more and more abundant. However, people's hearts have not become noble because of the abundance. Instead, they are gradually lost and sinking in the glitz and luxury.
In today's Chu state, the emperor is fatuous, the nobles are corrupt and violent, the civil servants are corrupt, the generals are arrogant, and the nobles are extravagant.
As for Shencatang, before Yan Tianying took over ten years ago, it had not received much support from the court for many years. Funds, resources, and manpower had shrunk significantly. All subordinate institutions in each city were abandoned, and only the capital headquarters remained.
.
Before Yan Tianying took over, the imperial court had discussed several times, wanting to completely abolish the Shenhuatang department founded by the Great Chu Taizu, or completely abandon its functions of supervising, investigating officials, and nobles, and turn it into a
Lian Yunxiao, the true "court eagle dog" whose knife edge is always pointed at the people, once said that at the court meeting two years ago, the court launched this proposal again.
Ten years ago, due to the fact that there were still a few honest and honest officials in the court at that time, they used the excuse of "the Taizu created it and the ancestors made the law" as an excuse to strongly block it. The emperor had just succeeded to the throne, and he still had some feelings for the veterans of the previous emperor's era.
It was only because of fear that Shen Captang survived.
After Yan Tianying took over, he relied on his reputation as "the leader of heroes", his strength, and the increasingly rare support of Qingzheng ministers, so that the court proposal once again came to nothing.
But even though after Yan Tianying took over, the Shenqutang once again shocked the world, but before the overwhelming momentum, under pressure from many parties, even with Yan Tianying's ability, he invited "guest ministers and advisors" such as Zhenren Wanfa.
, it will be difficult for the Shencat Hall to return to its former glory.
This is the general trend of the world.
If the current situation of the Chu emperor being fatuous, the nobles corrupt and violent, the civil servants corrupt, the generals arrogant, and the nobles extravagant were not completely changed, then this general trend would not be changed.
And this overall depressed atmosphere, even among the Chu royal family, would not be possible even if another emperor changed it.
Therefore, who can resist this surging trend and still stick to his post despite being unanimously hostile to the royal family, high-ranking officials, and noble families in the Divine Catcher Hall?
, what about your determination to "don't enter this door if you are greedy for life and fearful of death"?
Like Yan Kai, the "soul-chasing ghost", and Wu Lie, the "killer of families and coffins", as third-level warriors, no matter whose sect they serve, they will be able to enjoy endless wealth and wealth.
Even Bailong and Qiankun, two royal family members with unfathomable backgrounds, would not refuse the service of a third-grade warrior.
But they just like to stay in the God Catcher Hall and be the smelly, hard and disgusting headcatchers.
They are not going for Yan Tianying.
They just do it for the justice and chivalry in their hearts.
There are more than 500 million people in such a vast Eastern land, how can there be no shortage of real knights, right?
Of course, there are some people who have a little bit of personal hobbies mixed into this chivalry.
For example, Wu Lie, who has the most cruel nickname of "The Coffin Killer" - "Slay the Coffin" is a homophonic reference, which refers to his ruthless attacks on corrupt officials. Of course, there are also rumors that he will not even spare the dead, even if the person is dead at the time of the incident.
If you are already dead, your coffin will be dug out and your ashes will be blown.
However, Wu Lie does have a serious mental illness, is cruel and bloodthirsty, and loves to kill people, but he has his own insistence and will never kill innocent people indiscriminately, so he has no choice but to stay in the Shen Cat Hall to kill bad guys.
Another example is Shen Lang...
Mu Qingxue knew very well that Shen Lang's joining the Shencat Hall had a lot to do with her, Mu Qingxue.
Otherwise, given Shen Lang's lawlessness and wildness, he would rather be a ranger than join the Shen Cat Hall.
Thinking that Shen Lang's original intention of joining Shenqitang was all because of himself, and that he was doing better and better, Mu Qingxue couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride, achievement, and... sweetness in her heart.
She took a step forward, held Shen Lang's palm with both hands, and said with a smile:
"If you keep thinking like this, I really don't have to worry, you will be tempted by the little spider and become a demon."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"You don't have to worry. I have always been the light of the right path."
"Haha, ruthless, lawless, the light of righteousness through lynching and punishing crimes?"
"When have I ever lynched someone..."
"Changsheng County, Zhao Family."
"..."
"When you left Yingzhou, you killed more than a hundred people who were chasing you. Among them, the sister of Izumo Hai bandit ghost Wang Dong and the relic of Nanhai sword sect Jin Nanfei were nothing more. They all had a vengeance against you.
You deserve revenge. But what happened to Duke Ying’s side wife Zhao?"
"..."
"I happened to be in Yingzhou at that time, so I did some research, and found out that Zhao's younger brother, Zhao Mengshan, had been assassinated. Although Changsheng County had already concluded that it was an assassin from the Blood Shadow Cult who killed Zhao Mengshan, and they also sent the official document about the murder.
Yingzhou Prefecture Zun Gutou, but you and I both know that the Zhao family is in collusion with the Blood Shadow Cult. How could the Blood Shadow Cult assassinate her only brother? As a digression: The Duke of Ying State colluded with the Blood Shadow Cult.
The incident was all blamed on the Zhao family, insisting that he was just guilty of negligence. The emperor also sent Eunuch Zhang to protect him, and I can't deal with Duke Ying for this crime."
"Well……"
"Later, I went to Changsheng County and found out that Zhao Mengshan had committed many heinous crimes in Changsheng County. But because he was the brother-in-law of the Duke of Ying, due to the power of the Duke of Ying, I was in Changsheng before.
When the county was killing the followers of the Blood Shadow Cult, no one dared to report to me."
"They... have families, are weak, and are in trouble... Look, even you can't bring down the Duke of Ying. If they report them, what if you kill Zhao Mengshan? Wait until you leave.
In Yingzhou, Mrs. Zhao can easily crush everyone who reports on her without the help of the Duke of Ying."
"Yes, they all have difficulties, and I can sympathize with them. Only you, a new arrival, carefree, passionate young man, after hearing about Zhao Mengshan's misdeeds, you bought swords, guns, and stolen gunpowder - I initially
I still can’t figure out where you got the gunpowder and how you transported it into the Zhao Mansion. But when I was in the Black Lotus Demon Cave, I knew that you had a stored magic weapon. Before I passed the level, I also knew that Xiao Zhao was a monster... Suddenly
I figured it all out.”
"hey-hey……"
"You asked Xiao Zhao to sneak into the military camp in the city with the stored magic weapon and steal the gunpowder. Since gunpowder is a consumable, it is easy to conceal it. After the county soldiers discovered that the gunpowder was stolen, they did not dare to say anything about it, so they reported it on the pretext of training.
Consumption. You waited for several days, until the time was right, or in other words, until you had mastered a sword technique? Is it the killer move you boasted about? Then you sneaked into the Zhao Mansion and carried out the assassination..."
"Ahem! That..."
"Because Zhao Mengshan was hated by people in Changsheng County, even the Hutu official in Changsheng County wanted him to die. So after his death, everyone was very happy, and no one seriously investigated, so he just left the blood shadow.
He taught the conclusion of assassination. The county magistrate even couldn't wait to send people to clean up the scene..."
"Haha, Changsheng County Lord is a good official. Although he protects himself wisely and does not dare to fight against the powerful, at least he still has a conscience in his heart. I respect him quite a lot."
"Then, why didn't you report it to me in the first place? Do you have to lynch yourself to punish the crime? You dare to lynch the crime yourself. Even if you report it to me, you are not afraid of the revenge of Duke Ying, right?"
"I don't know how to contact you...well, I just can't help it."
"Are you really unable to bear it? If you really couldn't bear it, why did you wait several days after stealing the gunpowder? So if you didn't report it to me, there must be another reason. I guess you at that time, I'm afraid
Deep down in my heart, I also feel that I dare not provoke the Duke of Ying, right? I even doubt that I will protect the Duke of Ying, right?"
"Hahaha, what you said means that I trust you very much..."
"You are a very suspicious boy. Although you are full of passion, wildness, and lawlessness, when it comes to taking action, you are not as cautious as a teenager. And you and I have known each other for a short time. With your suspicion and caution, you have some trust in me.
, this trust probably won’t be very deep. So, you doubt me, that’s why you don’t want to find me.”
"You think too much, I really don't know how to contact you..."
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. And when I bring this up today, I don't want to hold you accountable for concealing it. I just want to tell you... Zhao Mengshan deserves to die. You stabbed him to death with a sword, which actually gave him an advantage.
If it falls into my hands, I will try every means to push the Ministry of Punishments to sentence him to Lingchi."
Mu Qingxue stared into Shen Lang's eyes and said seriously:
"Believe me, although I can't bring down the Duke of Ying, I can still do it for Ling Chi, the younger brother of a concubine with solid evidence of crime and inhumanity.
"While lynching is a pleasant punishment, it can be seen that canonical punishment sometimes makes those who feel that death is too cheap a few times, make their death more painful, and even regret coming to this world."
Shen Lang chuckled and raised his hand to caress her cheek:
"It is indeed a ruthless and iron judge. I like this idea very much."
Mu Qingxue pressed the back of Shen Lang's hand and smiled sweetly:
"Cold-blooded human slaughter is not bad. It's just that sometimes it's too violent, which makes some people look down upon it."
"You are right, I will try my best to follow your ideas from now on."
"Yeah. I said so much again without realizing it. I was never so talkative before..."
"You can talk more when you are with me?"
“A net waste of time.”
"It's not a waste of time. When we are together, we are not talking about cultivation, affairs, or the current situation. There is no romance at all."
"But you don't look like a person who understands romance."
"That's because I haven't exerted my strength yet..."
"Oh? Do you understand very well? Yes, that's right. Madam Jade was robbing people on the street, and she wanted to arrest you and make you the king of the village..."
"Ahem!" Shen Lang coughed twice: "What, it's almost midnight, do you have to rush back to the capital?"
Seeing him change the topic, Mu Qingxue's lips curled up slightly, a playful smile appeared, and she said:
"Because it is midnight, there is no need to rush. Hu Yuanwai never imagined that someone would sneak into the mine in the dark at night and capture the mine that is closely guarded by Dharma cultivators and warriors. Hu Yuanwai did not expect it, and Guo Kai certainly did not expect it either."
Shen Lang said: "But it's better to return to Beijing early, report the matter to Master Yan, and capture Guo Kai. Otherwise, we will have a long night and many dreams."
Mu Qingxue put on a pretty face and made that cold and majestic look:
"Can't you wait for me to leave?"
Shen Lang also said seriously:
"Of course not. I wish I could stay with you all day long. It's just my responsibility and I don't dare to be rude."
"She can talk, no wonder she can coax Chen Yuniang into abandoning her secret life and turning to the bright side."
"Muda, take action!"
"snort!"
Mu Qingxue snorted softly, suddenly took a step forward, and took the initiative to hug Shen Lang:
"Then I'll go."
Shen Lang also spread his arms and hugged her gently:
"Take care. Guo Kai has a third-level Taoist cultivation level. You don't want to catch him alone."
Mu Qingxue smiled and said:
"I'm not afraid of him. But you are right, I will ask Master Yan to help me hold the battle formation."
Shen Lang said again:
"Since Guo Kai is the emperor's favorite, I'm afraid he has some special means to win the emperor's favor. It's best to kill him directly, otherwise, the emperor will probably take away Sha Wanli and send him to the death camp as a punishment.
On the pretext of an imperial edict, Guo Kai was taken away.
"After all, he is a third-level law cultivator. The emperor has enough reasons to save his life. I am afraid that the princes in the court will not object. It will be difficult to punish him."
Mu Qingxue was silent for a while and nodded:
"Okay, I will kill Guo Kai directly."
After saying that, she let go of Shen Lang and took two steps back. The black gold wristband oozed out a golden solution that shimmered with purple light, quickly covering her whole body, and then turned into layers of thin gold foil, and then quickly unfolded, connected, and expanded in the blink of an eye.
Soon, he put on that majestic and heavy golden battle armor again.
With a swish sound behind her, she unfolded a pair of golden wings, and the feathers flapped gently, creating elegant and gorgeous tassels of light.
Then she grabbed Duan Hong from the air, took him into the palm of her hand, lifted him by the back of his neck, enveloped his body with Gang Qi, and flew him out of the window, soaring into the sky, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a golden shooting star, heading towards
It flew towards the capital.
After watching Mu Qingxue leave.
Shen Lang released the small fish, Xiaoya, and said with a smile:
"Come out and move around, I won't take any action. Please help me knock down all the people who are not shackled on their feet. Remember, don't kill anyone."
"As you command, Lord Yin"
The little rabbit stood up, saluted with its little front paws, and jumped out of the window.
The little fish was also wrapped in a water balloon, spit out a few bubbles, and said:
"Look at me!"
The fish body transformed into a dragon claw and flew out of the window.
Shen Lang sent a spiritual message to Xiaogu, who was guarding the entrance of the valley, and told him to call Shenwu and attack from the entrance of the valley.
Xiao Zhao continued to stay at the entrance of the valley to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos and absconding.
After making arrangements, Shen Lang moved a chair and sat in front of the window, admiring the night sky and the stars.
