Chapter 129: The Devil Who Has Been Suppressed for Eight Hundred Years
Chapter 129 The Demon that Suppressed for Eight Hundred Years (Additional Update)
Zuo Hongchen was very dismissive of someone like Lu Ning who relied on the relationship with the Empress to become the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Division.
He was about to teach Lu Ning a lesson when Chen Hu grabbed him: "I, Lu Changan, need a reason to kill someone? Are you going to provoke him?"
Zuo Hongchen: “…!!”
Are you scaring me?
Zuo Hongchen glanced at Chen Hu, then turned to look outside the hall.
Lu Ning didn't look back at all, and walked away with Gu Wushuang laughing.
"Sir, how can a young man like Lu Changan, who is still young, hold the position of deputy director of the Demon Suppression Department?" Zuo Hongchen expressed dissatisfaction.
He knew that Lu Ning was strong. After all, how could anyone who dared to fight against Yuantong Divine Monk be weak?
But fighting is fighting, and being the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Department is two different things.
A warrior like Chen Hu can fight well, but being a deputy director requires brains, otherwise all the subordinates will be sacrificed.
Of course, these words contained insinuations, but Zuo Hongchen did not say them out loud.
After all, Yang Fengcai died in the line of duty. Master Sizheng would definitely be unhappy when he heard this.
Who is Gu Fengtang? Zuo Hongchen didn't tell him, but he also knew what the latter meant: "When you were the deputy director, you were only twenty-six or seventeen years old. Can't you still be on your own now?"
"Always give young people some opportunities to hone their skills. Perhaps, they will grow up faster than you did back then!"
Hearing this, Zuo Hongchen still had a cold look on his face and stood silently aside.
Instead, Chen Hu asked: "Sir, are you still going to investigate the Demonic Sealing Cave in Wolong Mountain?"
Gu Fengtang pondered for a while and said: "No need for the time being. After Lu Changan gets familiar with his duties, let him take people to experience it. He is also familiar with the place."
Chen Hu and the other three looked at each other. The Demonic Sealing Cave is such a dangerous place, so let an inexperienced Lu Ning go and investigate it?
Are you taking your subordinates to die?
…
"His wife really ran away with someone?"
"What are you thinking? He doesn't have a wife."
"...!"
Lu Ning was speechless. He didn't have a wife, so why should he be worried about me?
Gu Wushuang said: "Zuo Hongchen is just like that. He joined the Demon Suppression Division at the age of eighteen and relied on his own strength to go from captain to deputy division commander in less than ten years."
"When I first joined the Demon Suppression Division, he didn't like me either. After all, my father is Sizheng, and he thought I came in through connections and didn't have much ability."
"Later, he recognized me after I repeatedly made meritorious deeds."
"But even so, it's hard to see him smiling."
"People are like that, don't worry about it."
Lu Ning nodded secretly: "You look like you're unhappy with everyone. It's really not easy to find a wife."
Gu Wushuang was speechless: "He doesn't want to get married, otherwise there will be a queue of girls who want to marry him."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "Really?"
Gu Wushuang shook his head speechlessly and said: "You should really go out and practice more. His name is Zuo Hongchen. Among the big immortal cultivating families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Zuo family in Qingzhou is the most famous."
"You killed Huiyuan and fought against Yuantong Divine Monk. Zuo Hongchen must be a little dissatisfied."
"After all, he didn't know the situation at that time, so he targeted you. You just have to bear with it."
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows: "Why do you have to endure it? You didn't pull me just now, so I turned around. It was as if I was afraid of him."
Gu Wushuang said speechlessly: "Zuo Hongchen is just a matter of temperament. In fact, he is a very upright person. From now on, you are colleagues and you have to work together. Why do you need to make everyone look like enemies when they meet?"
Lu Ning pouted and said, "You don't understand the happiness between men...!"
"What did you say?"
"...I mean, if men don't like each other, let's fight."
Gu Wushuang rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "That's the Demon Suppression Hall."
Lu Ning's eyes sank, and he followed her gaze to the end of a large square.
There is a majestic three-story palace, which is thicker, deeper and more majestic than the palace where Sizheng and Gu Fengtang work.
There is a plaque on the main hall, with red background and black characters: Demon Suppression Hall.
Lu Ning stared at the sky above the Demon Suppression Hall with frowning eyebrows, and saw a trace of black air lingering, not obvious, but there.
"In the Demon Suppressing Hall, there won't be any demons suppressed, right?"
"how do you know?"
Gu Wushuang looked surprised. When she joined the Demon Suppressing Division, she didn't know that the Demon Suppressing Hall was used to suppress demons. She thought it was a secret place for the Demon Suppressing Division.
Later, she learned from her own father that the Demon Suppressing Hall was used to suppress peerless demons.
"It really is?"
Lu Ning looked surprised. No wonder there was a trace of demonic energy in the sky above the hall.
Gu Wushuang nodded and said: "I heard from Master Sizheng that it has been eight hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty and the suppression until now."
"...!"
Lu Ning looked incredulous, a demon who has lived for eight hundred years?
Maybe eight hundred years ago, the devil lived for a hundred years. In other words, the devil that His Highness suppressed had a lifespan of nearly a thousand years?
Isn’t this what immortality is?
It wasn't until he walked past the Demon Suppression Hall that Lu Ning asked: "How many demons are suppressed in there?"
"one!"
Gu Wushuang raised a finger and said: "Some other demons are being held in the sky prison."
Lu Ning nodded secretly.
After a long time, he asked: "You are a Qianhu, who is in charge of it?"
Gu Wushuang stammered for a moment and said, "It was Master Yang Feng before, but now... you!"
"What did you just say? Louder!"
Gu Wushuang raised his head and glared at Lu Ning: "Are you deaf?"
"Ahem... Gu Wushuang, I am the deputy director now, how can I talk to my boss?"
"You, you, you... okay."
Gu Wushuang clenched his fist angrily, feeling that Lu Ning did it on purpose.
"Hahaha... It's finally my turn to fuck you. Madam, you have a day too!" Lu Ning raised his head and smiled, which made Gu Wushuang so angry that he wanted to beat him to death.
Yang Feng's office is located in the north courtyard of Zhenmosi, named Beizhengsi.
When he arrived with Gu Wushuang, seven thousand households and eighty-five hundred households were standing in front of the Bei Zhengsi main hall.
Counting Gu Wushuang, there are eight thousand households.
Lu Ning had read the list of the Demon Suppressing Division. There were ten thousand households under one deputy division, ten hundred households under one thousand households, ten general banners under one hundred households, and ten school captains under one general banner.
There are tens of thousands of people working there, each performing his or her duties.
At present, there are only eight thousand households, which means that the other two people died in the line of duty along with Yang Feng, and the hundred households also lost more than a dozen people.
Seeing that the deputy secretary who was much younger than them came to take up the post, many thousands and hundreds of households were not very satisfied, but they did not dare to show it to the people transferred by Mr. Si Zheng.
"See Mr. Lu!"
Under the leadership of Gu Wushuang, everyone bowed to Lu Ning.
"No gift!"
Lu Ning waved his hand and turned around to look at Bei Zhengsi's plaque: Unselfish.
"Change it to a place where righteousness will last forever."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then Gu Wushuang raised his hands and said, "It's my lord."
Lu Ning glanced at everyone one by one. As a leader, you should be like Liu Bang, just manage your direct subordinates well.
As for hundreds of households, of course there are thousands of households to manage, so he will not worry about it.
"Thousands of households will stay and hundreds of households will retreat. Those who have tasks can do it on their own."
"My subordinates resign."
Eighty-five households bowed and slowly retreated.
Lu Ning's eyes fell on the seven Qianhu, and he turned and walked into the main hall. Gu Wushuang took the lead, and the eight people followed.
After sitting down, Lu Ning picked up a book of Bei Zhengsi's affairs from the side. It not only listed the names of people, but also the specific tasks that each person should do.
Yang Feng's main area of responsibility is the area of thousands of miles around the imperial city of Beijing and Zhou Dynasty. His subordinate Gu Wushuang is responsible for arresting and escorting felons to Tianjian Prison. He also arrests thousands of other households and also conducts criminal trials.
In addition, there is one person who is responsible for training new demon suppressors.
"Sign up!"
After taking a brief look, Lu Ning looked up at the eight people.
"Gu Wushuang."
"Wang Ding."
"Wei Feng"
"Sui Yun."
"..."
The eight thousand households reported their names one by one, and Lu Ning remembered them all. The oldest was Wang Ding, who was about fifty years old. He was also the strongest person in cultivation, with a perfect fourth grade.
Next, Wei Feng and Sui Yun are slightly younger, about thirty years old, and are in the late fourth stage of cultivation.
For a moment, Lu Ning's eyes fell on the last person, who looked to be in his thirties. His name was Song Ge. He was in the late fourth stage of cultivation and was a member of Qianhu, the Bei Zhengsi nurturing talent.
"Song Ge, there are still two thousand households missing. You should make up for it as soon as possible. As for the missing hundred households, general banners, school captains, and whose subordinates are missing, ask them to report to you and make up for it as soon as possible."
"It's my lord!" Song Ge nodded.
Lu Ning looked through the business record again and found that he had no problem, so he said: "I have nothing to say at the moment. If you have any tasks in hand, just do it first."
Hearing this, Wang Ding and others looked at each other and then at Gu Wushuang.
Gu Wushuang coughed lightly and reminded Lu Ning: "Sir, didn't Lord Gang Sizheng tell you that he will see Lord Yang off in front of the Demon Suppression Hall at 3:00 tonight?"
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "Are you all going?"
Gu Wushuang said: "More than a hundred households are going."
Lu Ning nodded, looked at Wang Dingqi and said: "At 3:00 tonight, we will see Master Yang off in front of the Demon Suppressing Hall. Households of more than 100 households must gather on time."
"Those who are late will not be spared lightly by this officer."
"Back off."
Wang Ding and others took a deep breath, cupped their hands and said, "It's your Excellency."
Seeing everyone leaving, Gu Wushuang said speechlessly: "When a new official takes office, why don't you introduce yourself? At least say a few words to ask for everyone's support and cooperation!"
Lu Ning chuckled and said, "Soon, they will all know me."
"As for those nonsense, they are all swindlers, do I need to say more?"
"...Your personality!" Gu Wushuang rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Lu Ning glanced at her: "Are you okay?"
Gu Wushuang said: "It's okay for now."
Lu Ning stood up: "Let's go then, follow me to the prison."
Gu Wushuang was puzzled: "You are already very powerful, why are you going to the third or fourth floor?"
Lu Ning said: "If you don't understand, just let me go."
With that said, he strode out of the main hall.
Gu Wushuang chased him out and took a carriage with Lu Ning to Tianlao.
On the road.
Lu Ning asked: "How many felons are imprisoned on the third floor of the prison?"
Gu Wushuang said: "Not many, about twenty."
Lu Ning frowned: "Only twenty?"
Gu Wushuang looked stunned: "Do you know what kind of felons are on the third level of detention?"
Lu Ning pouted and said, "Aren't they just monsters?"
Gu Wushuang frowned and said, "That's not an ordinary monster, it's the lowest level of a demon king."
"Demon King?"
Lu Ning's eyes lit up instantly. He killed the Eight-Armed Spider King and gained 20 million experience points. After supervising him for a period of time, he should also be able to gain a lot of experience.
After all, the experience below the second floor of Tianlao is very stable and will basically not change in two or three years.
For a moment, Lu Ning was extremely excited.
"Aren't the felons imprisoned on the fourth floor even more powerful?" Lu Ning asked.
"That's right, there are less than five felons imprisoned on the fourth floor, and each one has a second-grade cultivation level or above." Gu Wushuang said with a solemn expression.
"...!"
Lu Ning looked surprised. Second level and above, even if there were five repeat offenders, the experience should be terrifying.
Gu Wushuang frowned. She found that Lu Ning was extremely excited when she heard that the felon had a high level of cultivation.
How weird!
Heavenly prison.
After the carriage was stable,
The two wardens, Xuan and Huang, came to greet Lu Ning.
Lu Ning raised his eyebrows: "If it's not Xuanhuang of Heaven and Earth, where are the two wardens of Heaven and Earth?"
Gu Wushuang said aside: "Because we don't need it, we didn't set it up."
Lu Ning frowned: "The third and fourth floors are guarded by people, right?"
Gu Wushuang nodded.
Seeing this, Lu Ning didn't say anything. He glanced at Wu Yizhao and the two of them and said, "When I come to Tianlao from now on, you don't have to go out of your way to greet me. Just do whatever you have to do!"
"It's Mr. Lu." Wu Yizhao and the two nodded respectfully.
"Go ahead."
Lu Ning waved his hand and led Gu Wushuang towards the Tianlao.
After finding Zhou Hao, change into the previous Feiyu suit.
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu on your promotion."
Zhou Hao congratulated him repeatedly and whispered: "Chang'an, when are you free?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Xianlefang, we haven't been there for a long time."
"Ahem, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in the past two days."
Yang Fencai died in the line of duty, and everyone in the Demon Suppression Department was grieving. If he ran to Xianlefang at this time, he would definitely be gossiped about.
Lu Ning said: "It will take some time."
Zhou Hao still didn't know about Yang Feng's death in the line of duty, so he smiled and nodded: "That's okay."
After changing clothes.
Lu Ning hung the Winter Thunder Sword and the Vernal Equinox Sword, and walked to the third floor of the Heavenly Prison with Gu Wushuang.
Along the way, prison bosses such as Zhao Bing and Wang Dao greeted Lu Ning one after another.
On the second floor, Zhuang Dalei, Deng Yan and others were also respectful and polite.
Lu Ning responded with a smile and walked towards the end of the second floor of the prison.
There is a thick stone door leading to the third floor. True Qi is poured into it, and there is energy flickering above the stone door.
Gu Wushuang was on the side, pressing down the protruding stone, and the thick stone door opened with a bang.
On the third floor, a billowing black evil energy rushed towards my face.
Lu Ning just took a look and stepped in.
Gu Wushuang followed closely, carrying donkey meat and wine.
Boom!
There was a loud sound and the stone door closed.
In front of him was a dark and sinister prison cell, as terrifying as hell.
I stood and looked around, but I didn't see the jailer.
Lu Ning couldn't help but frown: "Are there no jailers on the third floor?"
Gu Wushuang said: "How could it be? It's just that there are relatively few jailers."
Immediately walk along the stone steps to the ground. The ground is paved with thick stone strips, giving people an indestructible feeling.
Gu Wushuang walked in front and said: "The three-story prison is not divided into areas. There are a total of fifty solid formation cells. Since I came to the Demon Suppression Division, I have never seen them full."
"As for the fourth floor, there are a total of twenty formation cells, and they are never full."
Lu Ning frowned and said: "So, you will also ask and kill them?"
Gu Wushuang shook his head: "Regardless of whether they are dead or not, after all the secrets are stripped from their bodies, they basically won't live long."
"Taking them out for questioning and letting their own forces know the news will only rob the court and cause chaos."
"So, basically they are locked up until death."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes brightened slightly. He liked to imprison felons until they died. The experience points were too stable.
Then I thought about it, now that I am the deputy director, should I fill up the third and fourth floors of the prison?
Well! That’s what you should do!
