Seeing the horrified expressions of the people around him, Guan Zuo turned around and looked at the government officials who were chasing him, his expression cold and terrifying.
"Take care of the things here, and send someone to Fengyun Village to take a look. I will go to the Demon Suppressing Division now!"
"I humbly obey my orders!"
All government officials understand the seriousness of the matter.
In the past, no evil spirit dared to enter the capital, let alone an evil spirit to assassinate imperial officials in the capital.
Fortunately.
To be able to serve as an official in the court, and to hold an important position in a place like the capital, ordinary people are not qualified at all.
Although Guan Zuo is a civil servant, he is also a powerful man in the world of martial arts.
The evil spirit that attacked and killed was able to possess people. Although it entered the ranks of resentment level, it was far behind the opponent.
That's why.
That evil spirit will be killed by Guan Zuo.
Just when the yamen were disposing of the corpses on the ground and Guan Zuo hurried to the Demon Suppression Division.
Royal Palace.
Inside the observatory.
A self-rotating ball suddenly vibrated, and a faint black light appeared, and then quickly disappeared.
And in front of the ball.
An old Taoist who was sitting cross-legged in meditation opened his eyes in vain and looked at the ball with a shocked expression.
"There is something strange in the magic measuring instrument!"
"No, there are evil spirits sneaking into the capital."
The old Taoist stood up directly from the ground, his original calm demeanor no longer able to be maintained.
"Someone is coming!"
An angry shout.
A man dressed as a eunuch came forward and bowed in salute: "May I ask what the commander's orders are?"
"There is something unusual about the magic measuring instrument, and there is an evil spirit appearing in the capital. Please report it to Your Majesty immediately!"
The old man looked cold.
The eunuch looked shocked and hurriedly replied: "Yes!"
Finished.
He left in a hurry.
It didn't take long.
Gu Xuanji came to the observatory, took a look at the magic detector in front of him that had returned to normal, and looked solemn.
at this time.
The old Taoist bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Baiyue, has met!"
"No gifts!"
Gu Xuanji waved his hand, but his eyes still stayed on the magic detector.
"You said that the magic detector is acting strangely because there is an evil spirit appearing in the capital?"
"That's right." Baiyue handed over his hand: "The Demon Detector can monitor the capital, but any evil breath leaked will cause the Demon Detector to move abnormally. Just now, the Demon Detector started to move abnormally, which means there must be an evil spirit born.
But the abnormal movement appeared very quickly and disappeared very quickly. According to my guess, there are only two possibilities."
"Which two are possible?"
"First, Yaoxie has been killed, and secondly, Yaoxie has gone into hiding again."
Baiyue looked heavy.
"But one thing is certain, that evil spirit is definitely not too strong. Only evil spirits below the evil level can hide the evil aura under the monitoring of the magic detector."
The higher the evil level, the stronger the evil aura.
Gu Xuanji withdrew his gaze from the magic measuring instrument and looked at Baiyue.
"Is it possible that the evil aura is coming from the Demon Suppression Department?"
"Impossible, the evil spirits in the Demon Suppression Department are all imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison and the Demon Sealing Tower. They can isolate the evil aura there and will never trigger the demon detector, unless there is an outbreak of evil aura elsewhere in the Demon Suppression Department.
Your Majesty will have to send someone to check this point."
Baiyue said truthfully.
Hear the words.
Gu Xuanji nodded slightly, and then asked one more question: "Also, is it possible that there is something wrong with the magic measuring instrument?"
"Absolutely not!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was strongly denied by Baiyue.
Finished.
Baiyue also realized his gaffe, and immediately raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the magic measuring instrument was painstakingly developed by our Shangqing Palace for hundreds of years, and there will definitely be no problems.
Back then, the evil spirits attacked the Shangqing Palace with the purpose of destroying the magic measuring instrument.
This magic measuring instrument has condensed the efforts of countless people in my Shangqing Palace, so there cannot be any mistakes."
"I'm just asking casually, Taoist priest, don't take it seriously."
Gu Xuanji smiled.
He also knew that there was nothing wrong with what Baiyue said.
In the past, the Shangqing Palace was also the top sect in the world. The evil spirits destroyed the Shangqing Palace and almost everyone was killed or injured. Only Baiyue and a few others escaped with the magic detector.
But those who escaped would most likely die at the hands of evil spirits.
The remaining Baiyue brought magic measuring instruments and directly defected to Da Qin.
at last.
The imperial court specially built a star observatory, installed a magic detector, and then let Baiyue serve in the imperial court.
No need for suspects.
Employ people without doubt.
I still believe in Baiyue's ancient mystery.
"Taoist Priest will continue to stay here to observe the movements of the magic detector. If there is any abnormal movement, you can have someone notify me. As for the movement just now, I will send someone to investigate."
Finished.
He turned around and left the observatory.
The observatory sounds like a high platform, but it is actually a palace.
the difference is.
There is a layer of colored glaze above the palace, allowing you to see the outside world.
Since the word "stargazing" is taken from the word "stargazing", it is natural to be able to see the celestial phenomena.
The Shangqing Palace itself is extremely good at stargazing and divination, otherwise it would not have created something like a magic measuring instrument. In order to allow talents like Baiyue to play their role perfectly, Gu Xuanji specially built this place.
After Gu Xuanji left.
Baiyue looked at the magic detector in front of him and frowned.
"The capital is the lifeline of the Great Qin. It has its own fate to suppress it. The demons are not strong enough and are not qualified to enter the capital. Now that a demon below the evil level has appeared, doesn't it mean that the fortunes of the Qin Dynasty are declining!"
"Oh, this is troublesome"
The national fortune declined.
It shows that a dynasty is in serious decline.
prosperity and decline.
This is the rule of heaven and earth, and no one can violate it.
Corresponding.
It depends on whether it is extremely peaceful or not.
But Baiyue is not sure whether Great Qin can achieve the goal of a prosperous future. After all, any dynasty that declines may be destroyed by others before it can regain its peak.
Now, even though he was deep in the palace, he knew everything about the attack between Da Zhou and the barbarians.
Coupled with the current decline in Great Qin's national fortunes, there is a reasonable explanation.
"I hope Great Qin can survive this disaster!"
Baiyue shook his head.
The Shangqing Palace has been destroyed, and he is now tied to Da Qin.
If the Qin Dynasty is destroyed, then his fate will not be easy either.
Only if the Qin Dynasty is safe and sound, can there be hope of rebuilding the Shangqing Palace.
Inside the court hall.
Gu Xuanji summoned all ministers.
Guan Zuo, who originally went to the Demon-Suppressing Division to ask for help, was also there at this time.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on?"
The Holy Emperor of Great Qin spoke calmly.
Hear the words.
Guan Zuo lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, someone came to the Yamen this morning to report a crime, saying that an evil spirit appeared in Fengyun Village outside the capital, and one person died in the hands of the evil spirit. However, he never thought that the person who reported the crime was actually possessed by the evil spirit.
At the critical moment, the demon wanted to sneak attack Wei Chen, and was finally killed by Wei Chen.
After killing the evil spirits, Wei Chen immediately went to the Demon Suppressing Division to ask for help. I believe that the people from the Demon Suppressing Division have already accompanied the officials of the government to Fengyun Village to check the situation. It won't take long for there to be news back.
"
Speaking of which.
Guan Zuo paused for a moment and then continued: "But at that time, the evil spirits failed to attack and escaped from the Yamen first. Although they were later killed by the ministers, several people also lost their lives in the hands of the evil spirits."
By the time he finished speaking, there was silence in the court hall for a long time.
Gu Xuanji looked at Dongfang Zhao: "There is an evil spirit entering the capital. Can the Demon Suppressing Division explain it?"
His expression was calm.
But the calmer it is, the greater the anger inside.
Dongfang Zhao, who had a calm demeanor in the past, was also feeling some pressure at this moment.
"Your Majesty, there is no trace of the evil spirits. If they want to sneak in, the Demon Suppressor will not be able to intercept them 100%. Moreover, there has always been a suppression of the national destiny in the capital, so the evil spirits cannot easily enter the capital.
Now, a resentment-level monster is actually able to openly kill people in the capital.
I suspect that there is something wrong with the national destiny."
There is a problem with the national destiny!
Upon hearing this, many ministers' expressions changed drastically.
National destiny is fundamental.
If there is a problem with the national destiny, Da Qin will be in big trouble.
Gu Xuanji's expression did not change and he said calmly: "Over the years, there have been evils and disasters, and now there are hidden dangers from the Great Zhou Dynasty and barbarians. It is normal for the national destiny to be somewhat turbulent, but I don't want this to become an excuse for the Demon Suppression Division.
I can forget about the evil attack and murder.
But I hope that the follow-up issue will be taken seriously by the Demon Suppressing Division. The capital is the face of Great Qin. If the capital becomes a place where evil spirits are rampant, then how can we convince the people that we, Great Qin, can suppress evil spirits!"
"When I return, the entire city will be under martial law and we will never allow evil spirits to cause trouble!"
Dongfang Zhao bowed and saluted.
Gu Xuanji said: "This is best. In addition, this evil disaster may not have the intention to disturb the hearts of the people of our country. The evil attack on the government office this morning may be just a sign. In the future, the evil will make even greater moves."
Starting from today, the imperial guards will patrol the palace day and night, and they must not neglect for even a moment.
In addition, the Demon Suppressing Division and the city's garrison patrol various places. If any evil spirit sneaks in, they must be killed immediately to avoid causing major turmoil.
This matter is not only the responsibility of the Demon Suppression Division, but also your responsibility.
As ministers of the imperial court, you should be loyal to the emperor and worry about the emperor. If an evil spirit appears anywhere, you also need to assist the people of the Suppressing Demon Division to kill the evil spirit!"
A person who is qualified to stand on the throne.
Each one of them possesses considerable strength.
These are troubled times.
If a dignified official of the imperial court has no strength at all, then he can kill as many evil spirits as he wants without any problems.
Wait until the ancient mystery is finished.
All the ministers bowed to receive orders: "I obey the order!"
"Today's events should not cause a big commotion. Anyone who spreads rumors at this time will be thrown into jail. Those who commit serious crimes will be shot without mercy!"
Gu Xuanji gave another order again.
If there are evil spirits killing people in the capital, it will definitely cause great commotion.
What the court has to do is to completely suppress this influence.
