It rains a lot in Anmo Mountain, and it is bound to be foggy at night.
Strange things have been happening in Shiquan Street since more than two months ago. Every time it rains, old people who get up at night will always see hazy figures appearing and disappearing in the mist.
The first person who discovered it thought it was because he was too old to see it wrong, but as more and more people saw it, the story slowly spread.
Old man Pang is a veteran who retired from the imperial army. He would come to Shiquan Street every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.
He has a talent for cultivation, and his current life in Panshi City is considered to be average, but this does not mean that every veteran has such a good life.
Many of the brothers who lived with him through life and death were residents of Shiquan Street. He was not a ungrateful person. From time to time, he would bring some good wine and food to have a drink with his old brothers.
As soon as I heard about this, I intuitively felt that there must be something fishy in it, and I started to take notice of it from then on.
Hearing this, Xu Luo looked at Yan Gao in confusion, "Didn't you say that our exorcism department is not doing anything right now?"
Yan Gao just smiled bitterly.
"Old man Pang has always been the most sentimental person. There are so many old brothers in Shiquan Street, how could he ignore them?
As a result, I don’t know who stabbed the Imperial Guards Department, and now Yu Tietou and his men have detained Old Pang there and ordered the Exorcism Department to pick him up."
Yu Tietou?
Xu Luo asked doubtfully: "Is that person's name Yu Chi?"
"As expected, you know him. This boy is no more than a captain in public, but he can't escape my brother's eyes. There must be something fishy secretly!"
Yan Gao subconsciously wanted to pat Xu Luo on the shoulder, but after gesticulating for a long time, he found that he couldn't reach him, so he slapped Xu Luo hard twice on the arm.
"Brother has had several unpleasant quarrels with Yu Tietou before, and there is a high probability that he will eat a turtle. Thinking of the relationship between Xia Kekang and you, why don't you try to pull the tiger's skin and raise the flag?"
You know, during the few days that Xu Luo stayed in the library, Xia Kekang came to see him three times, and every time he came back disappointed.
In Yan Gao's view, no matter how passionate and selfless Yu Chi is, Xia Kekang will soon become his boss, so he must give him some face no matter what, right?
After understanding what he meant, Xu Luo couldn't laugh or cry.
"If it were someone else, it would be possible. If it were really Yu Chi, I'm afraid it wouldn't help even if I went with you."
He originally wanted Yan Gao to think of another solution, but Xu Luo suddenly remembered that this time of seclusion to recuperate, it was almost time to come to an end.
Looking inside, the big cocoon on the lake of the heart has been shattered again, revealing the hazy clear text, which is faintly visible. Even if his own spiritual consciousness gets closer, it will lose its trace in an instant. It is extraordinary.
The three earth-level talismans were all found in ancient books by him, and they were named evil light talismans.
This talisman is very strange. Its specific power depends on the type of evil turbidity condensed by the person who made the talisman when refining it.
But just by holding these in your hands, the transparent heart runes in your body will send out obvious signs of danger, which is obviously not a trivial matter.
It happens that the supplies are also running low, so why not go for a trip together and see the majesty of the Imperial Soldiers in Panshi City.
Xu Luo thought for a moment and finally agreed.
"Then let's go! But we have agreed in advance that when my brother met Yu Chi for the first time, he severely humiliated him. I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. Brother Yan, please be mentally prepared!"
Unexpectedly, Yan Gao's focus was all on how he had disgraced the birdman that day, and he kept asking about the details.
Xu Luo walked out of the library on crutches and explained a few words to him with a wry smile. Yan Gao was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear and screamed happily!
The two of them got on the green ox cart and rushed straight to Shiquan Street.
Just as we reached the intersection, the road was blocked by heavily guarded soldiers. When they saw the green ox cart approaching, they all looked wary.
Yan Gao was originally sitting on the shaft of the car, but now he simply stood up, as if this way he was more powerful and looked more ferocious.
"The Exorcism Department is here at Captain Yu's request. Please let me know!"
Xu Luo had a slight smile on his face and looked very polite.
On the contrary, Yan Gao snorted coldly. With his clear-cut character of love and hate, he was so disgusted that he didn't even bother to say a perfunctory word.
The soldier had obviously already received the order, and he motioned for the two of them to enter.
At this time, Shiquan Street was already deserted, and from time to time there were people wearing police-like uniforms, going door to door trying to dissuade the owner from coming out.
Seeing the Qingniu cart approaching, Yu Chi, who was standing in the center of the long street with a solemn face, had a cautious look in his eyes.
Unexpectedly, this person was caught out!
Yu Chi still clearly remembers Xu Luo's arrogance when he entered the city that day. What's more, Xu Luo was just here for the first time at that time. Who knows what kind of trouble he is going to make now?
By the way, I heard that he also has a close relationship with Xia Kekang, the newly appointed commander of the central camp!
Thinking of this, Yu Chi also felt a little headache. He was not afraid of a veteran like Yan Gao who was hanging around in Panshi City at all.
It is precisely because these old fried dough sticks know what the current situation of Panshi City is like, but they dare not make an attack.
But a cross-river dragon like Xu Luo, who is still the most difficult to deal with, is a stupid green man with no hair at all!
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. They boast that all the pride of heaven and earth is in their hearts. The boss of heaven, the second boss of earth, the third boss of others, and most of those who make mistakes are like this.
It's not that Yu Chi was afraid of Xu Luo, it was just that if he made too much noise and alerted the boss, he would inevitably lose some face.
"Xu Luo, the Exorcist Department, has met Captain Yu. I wonder why there is such a big fight today?"
Xu Luo walked out of the cart on crutches, without any sign of anger, but asked in a gentle voice.
Yu Chi felt an unknown fire rising from the bottom of his heart. You've come here, why don't you know why?
If it were another captain of the Royal Military Division who was here, I'm afraid he would have been able to fight back with confidence.
"How does our Military Control Department act? Do we still need to report to your Exorcism Department?"
But Yu Chi has been extremely smart since childhood and has a photographic memory. He is a rising star that the Imperial Military Division has been cultivating. After dealing with Xu Luo once, he understands it even more.
The Xu Luo in front of me looks kind and gentle, but in fact he is extremely alert and cunning like a fox. You must not let any tricks fall on him, otherwise you will definitely follow the stick after beating the snake, and you will not spare others when you gain power.
"Haha, the Imperial Guards Department received a complaint from the common people that someone in the Exorcism Department bullied retired soldiers for no reason. Our Imperial Guards Department will not sit idly by and ignore such a thing!"
Xu Luo frowned slightly, he didn't expect this person to grow up so quickly and become much more difficult to deal with than when he first met.
If Yu Chi dares to admit that he obstructed the Exorcism Department from tracking down the weird things, then Xu Luotie will definitely make the matter worse.
After all, the current situation in Panshi City is, in the final analysis, nothing more than an unwritten rule that everyone, including the head of Zhanjing, secretly acquiesces to.
But if things get serious, it will be the Military Control Division who is reaching out randomly. For the sake of their own reputation, the Exorcism Division will not let go of this slap in the face easily.
Thinking of this, Xu Luo didn't want to waste any more time and said straightforwardly.
"Nonsense, Your Majesty has given the Exorcism Department the responsibility to monitor the world, punish evil spirits and exorcise monsters. As long as there are monsters causing trouble, even the Military Control Department can only assist in the investigation.
But now Captain Yu has detained our exorcist privately. What on earth do you want to do?
You are already holding an important position at a young age, so please don’t make any mistakes!"
Seeing Xu Luo's righteous and coy manner, Yu Chi almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. How can you say this?
To put it bluntly, anyone in the Yan Dynasty could collude with the weird ones, but Yubingsi was the least likely one.
It is true that in the past hundred years or so since the resurgence of weird things, the land of Chunzhou has shed enough blood.
The depths of Anmo Mountain facing the Rock Defense Line have always been a hot spot for the tide of strange things, not to mention that the Jin Dynasty is also using tricks on each other. It is almost a big battle every month and a small battle every three days.
What are the consequences of so many years of killing so frequently?
You can recruit any soldier from the Imperial Guards Department. Who has never experienced the death of relatives, friends, or elders at the hands of monsters?
Yu Chi's face suddenly became extremely cold, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Xu Luo, you should understand that there are some things that cannot be said carelessly. The honor of the Imperial Soldiers Division is forged with the blood of countless soldiers over the past hundred years and cannot be tarnished by anyone!"
After thinking about it, Xu Luo realized that what he just said was a bit unintentional, and his expression softened.
"I have no intention of looking down on the Imperial Guards, and I never have.
If anyone dares to disrespect these men who fought bloody battles to defend the border, let alone me, Xu Luo, even the Exorcist Department, Your Majesty will not let him go!
It's just that you and I both know the truth about today's matter.
Your Military Control Division is powerful and the Exorcism Division recognizes it, but it is also our responsibility to drive away evil spirits and punish evil spirits. Even if you also want to share His Majesty's worries, there is always a first-come, first-served basis.
If you do this, how can you not make people feel chilling?"
These words made Yu Chi calm down. No matter how you put it, it was the fault of the Imperial Soldiers Department in the matter of arresting people.
If it had been before, the Exorcism Department might have retreated in such despair.
But now there is Xu Luo, a bastard who seems reckless but is actually cunning. He is unwilling to suffer any loss, but he still likes to use his righteousness to disgust people!
If Yu Chi hadn't been secretly responsible for the intelligence duties of the Imperial Army Department, who would have believed that such a person could stay in a boring place like a library for more than a month?
Thinking of the information about Xu Luo collected these days, Yu Chi decided to take a step back for the time being.
I believe that with Xu Luo's intelligence, as long as he stays in Panshi City for a while, he will naturally know what to do!
Yu Chi raised his head and took a deep look at Xu Luo.
"As you said, this matter will be left to the Exorcism Department, but my people will assist in the investigation!"
Xu Luo thought for a while and nodded carefully.
In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree. In today's Panshi City, if you want to accomplish something, you can't do it without the Imperial Military Department.
Yu Chi did not hesitate and simply waved his hand.
The soldiers who were busy everywhere immediately came over like a tide, and within a few seconds they formed a strange formation and retreated outwards.
It seems scattered, but if you look closely, you will find its subtlety. Any group of soldiers can form the simplest defensive formation in an instant.
Xu Luo felt a little awe-struck in his heart, these soldiers from the Royal Military Division were really elite.
