The morning rain and dew make the air much fresher.
Because it rained lightly last night, the water stains on the ground have not subsided, making it look a bit muddy.
A carriage came slowly and ran over the small puddle, splashing a lot of muddy water and washing away a lot of the bloodstains on the axle.
"Sir, Lin'an City is ahead!"
The driver drove the carriage, looked at the city in front of him, and spoke loudly to the curtain behind him.
The words have fallen.
The curtain was lifted, and a man dressed as a Confucian scholar stuck his head out, looking at the city in the distance.
Then he sat back down again.
“It’s finally here!”
In the carriage, Fu Mosheng had a complicated expression. He felt a little uneasy about the place where he was about to take up his post, but he also felt a little relieved.
Da Qin was actually not at peace.
In addition to evil spirits causing trouble, there are also many bandits blocking the road.
Let’s go all the way.
All the soldiers who escorted him to the post were completely killed, leaving only him and the driver who were on their way to survive.
If he hadn't reached Lin'an City yet, Fu Mosheng suspected that he might die on the way to take office.
“It’s okay that evil spirits are causing trouble, but there are still thieves taking advantage of this to cause trouble. It’s really not a pity to die!”
Thinking about the ups and downs on his journey, he felt very angry.
Had it not been for the insufficient troops he carried, Fu Mosheng would have wiped out all the bandit dens along the way.
but
He can only think about these things.
In recent years, banditry in Da Qin has become more and more serious, which is not unrelated to the rampant evil spirits.
Chaos is about to arise in the world, and everyone wants a piece of the pie.
At this time.
The carriage slowly drove into Lin'an City. Hearing the noisy sounds of people talking in his ears, Fu Mosheng couldn't help but lift a corner of the curtain and observe what was going on around him.
"Compared to other places, Lin'an City is a small city, but from the current point of view, it is still a good place."
Along the way, I have experienced many places along the way.
In some places, evil spirits are causing disasters and the people are suffering unspeakably.
Even if it looks prosperous on the surface, if you really look deeper, you will understand the suffering.
From the surface appearance of the people in Lin'an City, although they are not much different from other places, if you look carefully, you can find that there is not much fear on these people's faces.
"strangeness"
“As far as I know, Lin’an City has been plagued by evil spirits many times, but now it seems there is no problem.”
Fu Mosheng thought to himself.
While he was guessing, the coachman had already driven the carriage towards the yamen after asking for the direction.
While the carriage was driving, many people stopped and cast curious glances.
“This carriage looks a bit strange. Could it be a nobleman from somewhere else?”
“Hey, who knows.”
“Looking at what the driver asked, it was obvious that he was going to the Yamen.”
Some people could not help but whisper.
These days, not everyone can afford to ride a carriage. For ordinary people, let alone riding a carriage, there is no chance to even touch it.
Like in Lin'an City, only people from a few large families would use horse-drawn carriages to travel.
While they were discussing, the carriage had already stopped at the gate of the Yamen.
The coachman got down and opened the curtain.
“Sir, the Yamen has arrived.”
"Um."
Fu Mosheng lowered his head and got out of the carriage, then looked up at the Yamen plaque in front of him, with a calm expression on his face.
Yamen inner courtyard.
A stove was lit, and a large iron basin was placed on top of the stove for baking. The basin was filled with iron sand.
Shen Changqing rolled up his sleeves and kept running his hands back and forth through the iron sand. He did not use his true energy to resist, but relied on the strength of his body to resist the scorching temperature in the iron sand.
唰!
唰!!
Every time my palm was immersed in iron sand, and when I pulled it out, the skin on the surface was only slightly red, but other than that there was no major problem.
“Practice by the Thirteenth Taibao has made my physical defense much stronger. Practicing the Iron Sand Palm can get twice the result with half the effort!”
Among the several martial arts, only the Seven Killing Sword Technique and Iron Sand Palm require hard training to improve. There is no way to use kill points to take shortcuts.
In comparison.
Seven Kills Sword Technique is a martial art that ends wars with fighting. It will improve quickly when fighting enemies. If you just practice hard, it will be difficult to make any progress.
so.
Shen Changqing devoted himself to studying Iron Sand Palm.
Because of his strong physical body, he successfully promoted Iron Sand Palm to a higher level in just a few days.
The power of the iron sand palm on the third level is much more powerful than that on the second level.
Except.
It means that the skin of both palms becomes tougher.
With the advancement of this martial arts, Shen Changqing also felt that there was really a hot fire brewing in his palms.
That kind of fire.
Different from the scorching heat that comes with Tianwu Zhenqi, it appears more violent.
Even, there is a tendency to backfire on itself.
It's just that Shen Changqing's true energy is strong and his physical body is powerful, so the fire energy from the iron sand palm backfires and has no effect at all.
Cultivation.
There is no pause.
At this time, several people came in from outside, led by a government servant.
“Sir, someone is coming!”
boom
Shen Changqing activated his true energy, and a pair of red palms burned by the iron sand directly smashed the iron basin into pieces. The iron sand in the basin scattered, and the fire was extinguished.
The sudden movement startled the yamen servant.
It also startled the two people following the Yamen.
Stand still for a few breaths.
The redness on his palms faded away. Shen Changqing put down his sleeves and looked at the government servant with cold eyes.
“When will the Yamen allow others to come in and out? Do you need me to teach you how to do things?”
“My lord, please forgive me!”
The yamen servant’s face suddenly turned pale.
Just when he was panicking, Shen Changqing waved his hand: "Forget it, just step back."
While speaking.
His eyes have already fallen on those two people.
“I resign from my humble position!” The government officer lowered his head and hurriedly retreated.
When the opponent retreats.
Shen Changqing said calmly: "Where are you two from? What's the matter with your sudden visit to the Yamen?"
While asking, he was already silently sizing up the two people in front of him.
"My official, Fu Mosheng, is the new county magistrate appointed by the imperial court. Your Excellency must be Mr. Shen Changqing of the Demon Suppression Division!"
Fu Moyan clasped his fists, and he was also looking at Shen Changqing.
Early when he came here to take office, he had received some information and understood that the current acting magistrate of Lin'an City was a demon slayer from the Demon Suppression Division.
“Oh, the new magistrate?”
Shen Changqing raised his eyebrows, and a smile suddenly appeared on his cold face.
“It turns out that Mr. Fu has arrived, but he’s just in time. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Come in and take a seat together.”
The words have fallen.
Looking at the person next to Fu Mosheng from the corner of his eye, he asked, "I wonder who this is?"
“This is just the official’s attendant.”
Fumerson did not mean to introduce it.
Seeing this, Shen Changqing didn't ask too many questions, but in his eyes, the aura on the other person's body was a bit vague, and even when he was standing there, there was a smell of iron and blood.
It can be seen from this.
That man was definitely not as simple as the coachman as Fu Mosen said. He should be a master who escorted him to take office.
but.
Shen Changqing has no interest in understanding the so-called masters.
The three of them entered the inner hall and took their seats.
“Here comes someone!”
“What are your orders, sir?”
A government official came to inquire.
Shen Changqing said: "Let Shi Qingsheng and Zhang Yue come over immediately and make it clear that the newly appointed magistrate of the imperial court has arrived!"
"yes!"
The Yamen servants were ordered to retreat.
The inner hall became quiet.
In less than a cup of tea, Shi Qingsheng and Zhang Yue came hand in hand.
“I’ve seen you in my humble position!”
“Donor’s book, Mr. Zhang arrived just in time. This is the new county magistrate Fu Mosheng, Mr. Fu.” Shen Changqing pointed at Fu Mosheng and introduced him.
Hear the words.
The eyes of the two people changed slightly, and then they bowed and saluted: "Shi Qingsheng (Zhang Yue), I have met Mr. Fu!"
“The two of you are being polite.”
Fu Mosheng nodded slightly.
Shen Changqing said: "I am only acting as the county magistrate on a temporary basis. All matters in the yamen are handled by the donor and Zhang Baotou. If Mr. Fu has anything you want to know, you can feel free to ask them.
As for other matters, I will forgive you for not participating in them.
In addition, I will move out of the Yamen today and leave early tomorrow morning to return to the Suppressing Demon Division."
“Master Shen, why are you so anxious?”
Fu Mosheng was smiling, but he was surprised in his heart.
Shen Changqing's cheerfulness was completely beyond his expectation.
I originally thought that when I took office, I would encounter some obstacles, or the other party might hold the position of county magistrate and refuse to let go.
When coming.
Fu Mosheng was still thinking about how he should handle it appropriately if he really broke up with her.
But
Shen Changqing's current cheerfulness is completely different from his original conjecture.
A time.
Fumerson didn’t even know what to say.
“My mission this time was to come to Lin’an City to slay the evil spirits. I just happened to find out that the previous magistrate, Zhao Fang, was colluding with the evil spirits, so I temporarily took the position of county magistrate. Now that Mr. Fu is here, the position of county magistrate should naturally return to the original owner.
Now that I have been delayed in Lin'an City for a long time, the Suppressing Demon Division also needs to go back and resume my duties."
Shen Changqing shook his head.
He has long been looking forward to the arrival of the new magistrate as soon as possible.
If the other party doesn't come, he won't be able to go back to the Demon Suppressor and revive him.
If you can't go back to the Demon Suppression Division, how can you find a higher-level martial arts specialist?
Moreover.
The Eternal Life Alliance has lost a lot of power in Lin'an City, and it is impossible to make any moves in a short period of time.
In this way, if there are no demons killed, there will be no killing value.
No matter which way you look at it, from Shen Changqing's point of view, staying in Lin'an City is a waste of life.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Fu Mosheng could not persuade him any more.
“In this case, if I return to the capital in the future, I will definitely have a long talk with Master Shen!”
“Okay, I will sweep the couch to greet you and say goodbye!”
Shen Changqing slightly arched his hands and left the inner hall of the Yamen.
Looking at his leaving back, Fu Mosheng withdrew his gaze only after he completely disappeared, and then looked at Shi Qingsheng and Zhang Yue, with a gentle smile on his face.
“This is my first time here, so I will have to trouble you two with some things in the future.”
