Seal the Demon Cave.
A figure suddenly landed, it was Lu Ning.
He touched the jade belt with his palm, and the winter thunder sword came out with lightning, chopping up the large trees and vines in front of him.
Less than half a year after suppressing Chilong's demonic spirit, vines grew wildly here, covering the entrance of the cave.
Lu Ning stared at the big stone on the Demon-Sealing Cave with a frown, and rushed into the cave with his spiritual consciousness. He found Monk Yuanding sitting cross-legged in the cave, and his face immediately darkened.
That night in the Yixiantian Canyon, Monk Yuanding turned into a black crow and escaped. He was hiding here and used the power of Chilong's demon soul to recover himself.
"Dig the grass! Dig the grass!"
The Chilong demon soul in the jade belt also felt the old monk Yuanding, and angrily shouted in the jade teeth: "Lu Ning, kill that old bald donkey quickly!"
Chilong's demon soul never thought that the demonic power in his own body was being absorbed by other demons.
Lu Ning frowned, quickly removed the big stone at the entrance of the cave, and rushed into the cave in a flash.
Yuanding, dressed in black, sat cross-legged in the cave, with his hands clasped together, and the power of demons from all directions surged towards his body.
Lu Ning's eyes flashed coldly. Normally, Monk Yuanding couldn't defeat him, and he had been severely injured by him before.
The first time I saw him was to run away, but the latter did not run away. He was still sitting on the ground, absorbing the demonic power of Chilong's demon soul.
This shows that the latter has something to rely on.
Zizzi...!
At this moment, Lu Ning's keen consciousness detected the sound of thunder and lightning tearing apart.
Immediately, he did not attack Yuan Ding in black, but slashed his sword towards a certain place.
Bang!
The strong sword power condensed into a sword light measuring one foot long, and its power increased several times. Standing in the air, a thunder and lightning shield appeared.
In the lightning shield, stood a white-haired old man wearing gray linen clothes. The old man had a rough face and a cold and stern look in his eyes.
It is Lord Tianlei.
Although Lu Ning did not know the latter, he knew who the latter was the moment he saw Lord Tianlei.
After all, he killed Zhu Qingyun and Lei Tianchui, both of whom were disciples of Lord Tianlei. How could Lord Tianlei not be angry?
"The best in the world?"
Lu Ning watched the sword light being shattered, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
But Lord Tianlei didn't talk nonsense at all. He struck the lightning strike and killed Lu Ning with his thunder sword.
boom!
Lu Ning instantly erupted the Vajra Buddha of the Sun, blocking Lord Tianlei's blast. However, he was blown away by Lord Tianlei, causing a hole in the cave.
"Dig the grass!"
Seeing that his mouth was smashed by Lu Ning, Chilong Demon Soul shouted anxiously: "Boy Lu, if you let me go, I will have to eat these two old guys."
Inside the cave, Lu Ning had a long sword in his hand, the Spring and Autumn Sword.
Boom!
At this moment, the stone cave exploded, and a thunder shadow quickly swept out, killing Lu Ning again.
"Thunder Dragon."
Lord Tianlei's eyes were full of killing intent, and with an angry roar, countless thunder and lightning around him turned into a giant thunder dragon and swallowed Lu Ning.
Lu Ning flashed his eyes coldly and said to Chilong Demon Soul: "You can't eat it!"
Chilong Demon Soul was so angry that he was stunned. This old white-haired guy cracked his mouth open.
"A strike in the air!"
Spring and Autumn Sword directly used one of the thirty-six moves of Tianshan. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the thunder dragon, and in an instant passed through the thunder dragon to kill Lord Tianlei.
Lord Tianlei was surprised. It wasn't that Lu Ning was so powerful. The point was that the Spring and Autumn Sword was indeed an invincible spiritual weapon that could survive an era.
He found that both Lu Ning's strength and the power of the Spring and Autumn Sword were more than ten times stronger than what Lu Ning had displayed last time in Zhuxian City.
Buzz!
In an instant, a lightning figure appeared on Lord Tianlei's body, wearing a set of thunder armor, blocking the Spring and Autumn Sword.
Even so, Lord Tianlei was still slashed by Spring and Autumn Sword and flew a hundred meters away.
At this moment, a black shadow sneaked up on Lu Ning from behind like lightning.
Lu Ning was guarding against a sneak attack by Yuan Ding in black, so he turned around and slashed the world with his sword.
The sword light that cuts out diagonally will split the space.
The body of Yuanding in black was cut into two pieces in an instant, but he still rushed towards Lu Ning strangely.
Poof!
The green-red sword light that drove away Lord Tianlei rushed to the black-clad Yuan Ding in a flash and passed through Yuan Ding's eyebrows.
"Quack...!"
When the old monk Yuanding's body was knocked away, the demonic energy condensed into a black crow and flew away into the distance.
Lu Ning was about to chase the old monk Yuanding when Master Tianlei attacked from behind.
"Tian Lei, you old fool, I really don't dare to kill you, right?"
Suddenly, an old voice came from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, the sword master Li Qingbai appeared.
Although there was no sword in his hand, the Spring and Autumn Sword around Lu Ning flew towards the sky with a swish.
"Li Qingbai, he killed two of my beloved disciples, and I seek revenge from him. Are you going to get involved?" Lord Tianlei said with an angry look on his face.
"Haha, if it were seven days ago, I would not have come forward, but it is different now." Li Qingbai played with the Spring and Autumn Sword and disdainfully glanced at Lord Tianlei.
"What's the difference?" Lord Tianlei frowned.
"Hehe...he is my disciple now, what do you think." Li Qingbai grinned and struck the Master Tianlei with the Spring and Autumn Sword in his hand.
Lord Tianlei's face changed wildly. He was no match for Li Qingbai in the first place, and the latter had the Spring Autumn Sword in his hand, so he was no match for him. He immediately turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared.
On the other hand, Wolong Mountain was split open by the Spring and Autumn Sword.
Chilong's demon soul in the jade belt saw that Wolong Mountain was directly divided into two halves from the top to the bottom of the mountain, and his huge body was also split open with a sword.
I couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh... digging grass...!"
At this time, the escaped Lord Tianlei heard a voice: "Li Qingbai, if you can protect him for a while, can you protect him for a lifetime?"
Li Qingbai pointed his swords at the same time, and with a slight move, the Spring and Autumn Sword appeared in front of Lu Ning, and responded with a smile: "You are said to be an idiot, and you are still not convinced. Are my disciples ordinary people?"
"Do you need me to protect you for the rest of your life?"
"At this time next year, I will kill you like a pig or a dog."
After the words spread, Lord Tianlei did not respond, and Li Qingbai didn't care. He glanced at Lu Ning and said, "Ignore the old monk for now and go back to Beijing."
"It's Master."
Lu Ning nodded, it was good to have a master, at least no one in Jing Zhou's family dared to touch him.
Li Qingbai left in a flash.
Lu Ning returned to Shimen Village, sat on the black horse and said, "Continue on your journey."
Lin Jian and others saw the scene in the mountain, so they didn't ask any more questions. Instead, they were wondering what was going on with Monk Yuanding, who looked very strange.
Regarding the answer to this question, Lu Ning could not explain it to them. He could only wait until he returned to Beijing and Zhou to explain it in detail to his master Li Qingbai.
Master may know what's going on based on his experience.
Lu Ning's eyes flashed, Li Yunlei should be the name of Lord Tianlei, with a first-level cultivation level of Po Kong?
"Breaking the air?"
Lu Ning understood. Gu Fengtang had previously told him that the first level was the Breaking the Void Realm, but the Heavenly Punishment Picture Book showed that it was the Breaking the Void Realm.
If understood, it all means emptiness.
But Po Xu is obviously more mysterious and unpredictable than Po Kong.
Breaking through the sky is easy to understand, breaking through space, cutting through space with a sword, etc.
Before, he slashed at the black-clothed Yuanding with his sword, Zhan Qiankun, and shattered the space with a gash, which meant that his combat power was at the level of a first-class strongman.
With the same six-star crime and 5 penalty power, Li Yunlei has 40,000 more experience points than Luo Hanyi.
The problem should arise in cultivation.
After taking a look, Lu Ning sighed inwardly. It's a pity that he can only get 5 penalty points from the fight.
Only by arresting people can we get more.
Thinking back carefully, in the previous match against Feng Chuyi, the Heavenly Punishment Catalog was not admitted.
I don’t know if it’s because I can’t stop Feng Chuyi, or because Feng Chuyi has no sin?
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The fifth day of the seventh lunar month, the fifth hour of the unitary hour.
Experience: 520.9 million points.
Lu Ning and others escorted Prince Yongning, the concubine of Qi, back to the palace.
In Yongle Palace, Empress Zhou Yan had already received the news and stood in front of the palace in person, waiting for Concubine Qi and others to arrive.
moment.
The luxurious carriage stopped outside Yongle Palace. Concubine Qi got out of the car slowly. As a result, she walked towards Yongle Palace with the child in her arms.
Lu Ning and others also got off their horses and accompanied him over.
"I see you, the noble concubine!"
When the empress saw Concubine Qi, she stepped forward with a smile and saluted her.
No matter how you say it, she is her father's imperial concubine. Although she is not the biological mother or the adoptive mother, she deserves her respect for giving birth to a son for her father.
"Your Majesty can't do it!"
Concubine Qi held the child in one hand and hurriedly supported the empress with the other.
The empress stood up and hugged the child in Concubine Qi's hands. Her chubby little face was so cute: "I have worked hard during this time, Concubine Qi."
Concubine Qi smiled and said, "It's a bit hard, but seeing that Yongning was born safely, I don't feel like it's hard anymore."
After saying that, the topic changed: "Your Majesty, you have worked hard for state affairs in the past two months, so you must not tire yourself out."
The empress smiled and said: "I am happy even though I am tired to see that the emperor's brother was born safely."
"Tonight, there will be a banquet in Yongle Palace, and Concubine Shu and the others will also come over for a reunion dinner."
Concubine Qi was very happy when she heard this.
At this time, the empress looked at Lu Ning and said, "Lu Sizheng, you have worked hard during this period."
"Go back and rest quickly."
"It's Your Majesty."
Lu Ning nodded, smiled, and left with Lin Jian and others.
Now in the palace, since the death of Cao Dachun, the current eunuchs in Chengxuan Division are not very powerful. Apart from Jian Zun and Jian Zheng, the strongest two in the palace are Su Liuqi and Fang Xuewu.
Protecting the palace is enough.
Anyone who breaks into the palace at night cannot escape the eyes of Jian Zun and Jian Zheng.
Even if Master doesn't take action, he will always remind him.
Therefore, Lu Ning felt more at ease when leaving.
After leaving Yongle Palace, he went to the Chengxuan Division, while Lin Jian and others returned to the Demon-Suppressing Division.
After getting two jars of royal wine from the Chengxuan Department, Lu Ning went to the Golden Terrace alone.
The commander in front of the golden stage saluted Lu Ning and allowed Lu Ning to take the stage.
"Master, the disciple is here!"
Lu Ning rushed up to the golden platform and said with a grin.
On the golden platform, the sun sets in the west.
Sword Master Li Qingbai was lying down, supporting his head with one hand and flipping through the lower part of "Spring and Autumn Sword Art" with the other hand. When he saw Lu Ning coming up, he immediately sat up straight and took a sniff.
"Quickly...!"
Li Qingbai hurriedly waved to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning smiled and walked over quickly and sat on the table. The table burned his butt a little, but it had no effect on him.
"Master, please try the imperial wine." Lu Ning smiled and opened a jar.
"You, you drink too...!"
Li Qingbai held the wine jar, smelled it vigorously, and pointed to another jar of wine.
Lu Ning smiled and did not drink, but looked at Li Qingbai holding the jar and drinking directly, "Haha... good wine, really good wine...!"
"As long as Master likes it," Lu Ning said with a smile.
Li Qingbai drank three big gulps in a row and took out an oil paper bag from his body. Inside the oil paper bag was Drunkard's peanuts.
Seeing this, Lu Ning shook his head and laughed.
Li Qingbai put down the wine jar, lay down again, pinched a peanut and threw it into his mouth, saying:
"You kid, your sword realm is improving very quickly. Once you go out, your sword skills will be perfect."
"At this rate, it may not be a problem to achieve the unity of heaven and man on September 8 next year."
"The next direction of your cultivation is to improve your cultivation level, and the other is to improve your sword realm."
Lu Ning nodded after hearing this.
Li Qingbai continued: "Boy, for sword cultivators, you must always remember that you are the master at any time, the sword is the auxiliary, and you are the one who controls the sword. Never be controlled by the sword."
"Disciple understands."
"Well! The so-called sword intention is your intention. Can you understand it?"
Lu Ning nodded and said: "Disciple probably understands my intention and what is in my heart. The sword is connected with my mind and can emit the kind of power that I have in mind."
Li Qingbai nodded: "You have good understanding, that's what it means. Holding a long sword in your hand, you must let the long sword understand your mind. Of course, the premise is that you also have to understand the sword, any sword...!"
As he spoke, Li Qingbai pointed his finger like a sword, and the commander of the imperial army under the golden stage had a sword on his waist. He instantly flew out to the stage, buzzing and trembling in front of Li Qingbai, just like the feeling that an old friend wants to see.
But this sword is not Li Qingbai's sword, but it can do this. I think he knows swords very well, and any sword can communicate with his mind.
"Boy, do you understand?"
Li Qingbai waved his hand, and the heavy sword made an arc in the sky with a buzzing sound, and finally rushed towards the audience, and was accurately sheathed.
Lu Ning nodded, "Disciple, I understand."
Li Qingbai made a move with his hand, and the wine in the wine jar fell into his mouth. He pinched two peanuts and chewed them, saying: "Understand, practice like this when you get back."
"When you reach the point where you can control ten thousand swords with your mind, the realm of sword intention will be complete."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes flashed. These words reminded him of Ji Fengyang's sword discussion at Baiyun Taoist Temple.
At that time, Ji Feiyu controlled thousands of swords present. The Vernal Equinox Sword was suppressed by him, so Ji Feiyu had no intention to move it.
Now that I think about it, Ji Feiyu, who is about the same age as him, can actually control so many swords. I can imagine that the sword power must be very powerful.
The same was true for Ji Fengyang, but he was still suppressed by his tyrannical cultivation.
This also shows that although the sword realm is powerful, if the cultivation level is strong, the gap can still be made up.
No wonder Master keeps saying that it is enough for him to achieve the unity of heaven and man.
Because he can fight across borders, if the realm of swordsmanship reaches the unity of heaven and man, he can completely resist Feng Chuyi.
Lu Ning nodded secretly and said: "Master, this time I went to Qiu Mountain, my disciple encountered a strange thing."
Li Qingbai took a sip of wine, ate two peanuts and said, "You want to talk about Monk Yuanding?"
Lu Ning said: "Yes, Master, don't you find it strange?"
"Then Monk Yuanding, who was forced to pass away by you ten years ago, why did he pop up again?"
Li Qingbai said in surprise: "Did you hear what Qi Daomo said?"
Lu Ning nodded: "We met Yuan Ding when we went there. When we arrived at Qiu Shan Academy, we had a chat with the chess master."
Li Qingbai said: "Yes, Yuanding has passed away, but this old monk is not Yuanding. He just has the skin of Yuanding. You can regard him as a devil."
Lu Ning didn't quite understand.
Li Qingbai's old eyebrows sank slightly and said: "The Demon Cult has a technique called Tianmo Xuan Gong. It is said that this technique cannot be practiced by living people. It can only be practiced after the demon who has practiced it dies."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes froze. He had the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Technique in his catalog of Heavenly Punishment. If he kept adding more experience, how could he not be able to practice it?
"Master, have you ever seen the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Technique?" Lu Ning looked surprised.
"That's not true."
Li Qingbai shook his head and said: "Although I have never seen the Heavenly Demon Mysterious Technique, I have seen half of a real demon."
Really evil?
In an instant, Lu Ning's spirit was shaken.
This is the second time I heard about the real demon. The first time was from Chilong Demon Soul. There are four kinds of demons, and the most difficult to kill is the real demon.
Could it be that Monk Yuanding became a real demon through cultivation?
"Master, what is a real demon?" Lu Ning pretended to be surprised.
Li Qingbai stroked his beard and said: "The biggest characteristic of the real demon is that he is not a human and cannot be killed, but do you want to say that he is powerful? This is not necessarily true. The real demon also has realms. If you cultivate to a certain level, you will be extremely powerful.
No one can defeat it.”
Lu Ning nodded in surprise and said: "You just said that you have seen half a real demon. Are you a first-class old demon?"
Li Qingbai nodded and said: "Yes, that old devil used to be a human, but later he became a non-human, so my master called him a half-real devil. After all, he was not born in nature. Even so, he can only be suppressed.
Can't be killed."
Hearing this, Lu Ning frowned and said, "What if one day I can no longer suppress you?"
Li Qingbai shrugged: "Then what else can we do? The world is in disaster."
Lu Ning said: "Master, can the Great God-Sealing Technique permanently seal the old devil?"
Li Qingbai was not sure and said: "It should be possible. Back then, we sealed the old devil, Youwei Shi, Gu Conglong, Feng Chuyi, Wukong and four of us."
"At that time, my master's cultivation level had not yet fallen, and the old devil was no match for me. Gu Conglong was very accomplished in formations. After sealing the old devil, he did not say that he could seal it permanently. My teacher asked him if he could
He doesn't know how long it will be sealed."
"Perhaps Gu Conglong has not fully studied the "Great Conferring God Technique". If you can understand it, study it carefully. It will definitely be of great use in the future."
Lu Ning nodded, thinking that compared to the evil dragon in the Xuanlong Mountains, the old devil shouldn't be worth mentioning, right?
"Master, have you ever seen a real demon?"
"I've seen it."
Li Qingbai nodded and said: "It is hidden somewhere in the world, growing secretly."
Lu Ning nodded secretly and then didn't ask any more questions.
Practice hard and make yourself stronger. This path will never go wrong.
It doesn't matter what real demons or evil dragons they are, as long as they are strong enough and can stand shoulder to shoulder with gods and men, they can still be killed.
"Master, there is one more thing. Do you have any grudge against the two sages of Qiu Shan chess and painting?"
"What a grudge, I just scared the two of them once. They are both like wooden fish lumps. They really are hiding in Qiu Shan and can't come out."
Li Qingbai shook his head helplessly.
Lu Ning was speechless. Next, he continued to ask Li Qingbai for advice on swordsmanship, and even started practicing swords and knives directly on the golden platform.
Li Qingbai said that swords are all the same, but the weapons are different and the people who like them are different, but the training methods are the same.
There are many people who have swords in one hand and swords in the other. It's just a person's preference, and it's enough to really practice them.
It wasn't until nightfall that Lu Ning left Golden Terrace and went home.
As soon as the carriage reached the corner of Jingyang Street, I heard a lot of noise outside. I opened the corner of the curtain and found a group of people surrounding me. In the crowd, my elder brother, sister-in-law, and younger sister were all there.
Lu Ning couldn't help but be stunned: "Stop, stop."
Get out of the car quickly and push through the crowd.
Lu Ning found that his eldest brother, sister-in-law and others were surrounding a deceased person. The deceased was none other than Ruan Ping.
"Brother, what's going on?"
"Chang'an, you are back!"
When Lu Xiu saw it was Lu Ning, he quickly pointed to Ruan Ping on the ground and said, "The person who killed Ruan Changqing has appeared again."
Lu Ning's face darkened and he stared at Ruan Ping on the ground. He saw a bloody hole on the latter's back, exactly the same as when Ruan Changqing died before.
"Isn't he in the prison? How did he get out?" Lu Ning raised his head and looked at his sister-in-law Ruan Shuting.
Ruan Shuting's eyes were red with tears streaming down her face, and she didn't dare to look at Lu Ning.
Instead, Lu Qing said: "Second brother, it was the master I found. He said something nice to Ruan Ping, and the empress released Ruan Ping."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed, her sister-in-law must have told her sister-in-law, and it was her sister-in-law who helped her.
After all, Ruan Changqing is dead, and Ruan Ping is Ruan Changqing's only son and the pillar of the family in Ruanhe Village.
How could Ruan Shuting watch her nephew squat in the prison for three years, and now he is fine? He came out, but turned around and died.
moment.
County Master Liu of Antaifang came to Lu Ning in person with his people. His face turned pale with fright, and he kept saying that he had neglected his duty.
Lu Ning did not blame County Master Liu, but asked Lu Qing about the situation, and it turned out to be the same as he had guessed.
The sister-in-law was worried and asked Lu Qing for help.
That is to say, Ruan Ping was released just today. He had lunch at Shenwu Hou Mansion and said that he would go back to the village and work hard.
After lunch, Ruan Shuting took ten taels of silver to Ruan Ping and asked Ruan Ping to go back.
Ruan Ping didn't stay, took the silver and left.
But I don’t know why Ruan Ping died at the corner of the street in the evening, in the same position as when Ruan Changqing was killed before.
Ruan Ping arrived at Hongjia Town in two hours. He could reach the village by almost dark.
In other words, Ruan Ping was spotted by the crab spirit when he walked out of the Shenwu Hou Mansion. He did not kill the person after taking him away, but waited until dusk to kill him around the corner.
A coldness flashed in Lu Ning's eyes. He killed Ruan Changqing before and now Ruan Ping. It was obvious that the crab spirit was targeting him.
Immediately, his spiritual consciousness swept away and extended bit by bit towards the outside of the imperial city.
The Shifang Killing Formation had been activated for three days before.
After King Anshan's army withdrew, Lu Ning withdrew the city defense formation.
Exactly one black spirit stone was consumed, and two black spirit stones were left to guard the imperial city for another six days. Therefore, Lu Ning did not dare to use it randomly, so he just explored it like this.
"Check, don't let go of Jingzhou City and hundreds of miles outside the city. The criminal is a crab spirit with the strength of a demon king."
Lu Ning immediately sent a message to Chen Hu and others in the Demon Suppression Division.
A crab spirit, who has the strength of a demon king, provoked the master of the demon-suppressing department twice, which is simply asking for death.
Lu Ning personally performed an autopsy on Ruan Ping and found that the demonic aura remaining on his body was exactly the same as that of the previous crab spirit. This meant that Ruan Changqing and his son died because they were killed by a crab spirit.
That night, Lu Ning asked County Master Liu to carry Ruan Ping's body to the Yamen.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, County Master Liu came in a hurry with his people and said that Ruan Ping's body was missing.
"What?"
After running around for seven or eight days, Lu Ning was also very tired. He returned home to eat, take a bath, and then went to sleep.
Who would have thought that Ruan Ping's body would go missing, he couldn't help but said angrily: "A bunch of trash, they can't even see a corpse."
County Lord Liu had a bitter look on his face. Before he came to Wuhou Mansion, he beat the officer guarding the corpse.
The two guards were not sleepy at all, but for some reason they fell asleep for a while. When they opened their eyes again, Ruan Ping's body was gone.
When Lu Ning heard this, he didn't need to think that the two guards were of low cultivation and were easily knocked unconscious.
Immediately, Lu Ning sent a message to Chen Hu, asking Chen Hu to bring people to Antai Fang as soon as possible.
"Sir, before the curfew, I took people all the way to Hongjia Town and found no suspicious person. Deputy Lin and Deputy Zhang also found no suspicious monster."
Lu Ning glanced at Chen Hu: "I want to ask you, why is Ruan Ping's body missing?"
Chen Hu's eyes turned sharply and he said: "Sir, that crab spirit must have an accomplice in the imperial city."
Lu Ning said: "I think so too. I will immediately investigate the entire city. No one except the palace will be spared. All of them will be investigated."
Chen Hu nodded: "My lord, I will go right away."
The next day.
The sixth day of July.
Experience: 535.7 million points.
One night passed, and Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, Ren Wujie, and Zuo Hongchen had not yet investigated the entire city.
After the morning meeting, Lu Ning asked Lin Jian and Su Jianxing to lead separate teams to investigate.
"A crab spirit?"
Lin Jian raised his eyebrows. The crab spirit is very courageous. He dares to go to the imperial city and commit crimes continuously?
Lu Ning's eyes flashed and he said: "I want to check the city, go quickly."
Lin Jian and others nodded and left.
Lu Ning was sitting in the Hall of Justice, thinking about what gift to give to Prince Yongning.
After all, today the Empress holds a full-moon banquet for Prince Yongning, and all the civil and military officials will go to congratulate him, so gifts are naturally indispensable.
Taking out things like gold and silver is too tacky.
After thinking about it, Lu Ning took off the "Celestial Silkworm Soft Armor" on his body. Although Prince Yongning can't wear it now, he can wear it when he grows up.
Compared with "Xuan Wen Spirit Clothes", Lu Ning still feels that he should give Prince Yongning the Tiancan Soft Armor.
At around 6 o'clock in the morning, Lu Ning entered the palace in a carriage.
Zhang Juming and other civil and military officials had arrived early. King Beimang, Mu Yan, and the governor of Jiuzhou all arrived to congratulate Prince Yongning on his full moon.
Seeing Lu Ning arriving, many people came forward to greet him with concern.
Lu Ning frowned and said: "Although Ruan Ping is somewhat related to me, the reason why we searched the whole city last night was not because he is related to me. I would have done this to any other family."
"It's true that the crab spirit is too arrogant, provoking Emperor Wei, and provoking the Demon Suppressor."
Zhang Juming nodded: "What Mr. Lu is saying is that the demon problem has become quite serious in the Great Zhou Dynasty recently. The crab spirit came to the imperial city twice to kill people. It really despises the imperial power and it's time to clean it up."
Lu Ning said: "Starting tomorrow, I will start cleaning up bit by bit."
Next everyone went to the Manna Hall.
Ganlu Hall is the palace where Concubine Qi lives, and the Empress is also there.
Lu Ning took the lead in congratulating everyone.
"Master Lu, a piece of Tiancan soft armor."
"King Beimang, a green emerald peace bead."
"Zhang Shoufu, a purple jade pen."
"..."
The full moon banquet will not end until Shen.
Liu Jin from the Propaganda Department took the place of Concubine Qi and sent Lu Ning and others away.
Before leaving, Lu Ning took a look at Liu Jin and found that one of Liu Jin's broken arms had actually grown back.
I couldn't help but ask: "Is Eunuch Liu's right hand fake?"
Liu Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Master Lu, you must have remembered wrongly. Our left hand is a fake one."
"Oh! It's the left hand. I really didn't realize it. This left hand looks just like the real hand."
Lu Ning smiled, looked at Liu Jin again, and found that Liu Jin's cultivation level had improved a lot.
The cultivation level of the previous seventh level has now reached the fifth level, and the advancement speed is not slow at all!
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Eunuch Liu also studied the Lotus Book?"
Eunuch Liu shook his head and said: "Master Lu, you don't know. Cao Dachun's Lotus Manual has never taught our family. What we are now learning is the "Dead Tree Rejuvenation Technique" which we purchased at a high cost. It is said that if you practice it to a high level, you can regenerate severed limbs.
Our family wants to try it.”
Lu Ning was slightly stunned, "Regeneration of severed limbs? Where are other places?"
When Liu Jin heard this, his face turned pale, and he smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we can only regenerate severed limbs, but not other places. Besides, our family may not be able to practice to a high level."
Hearing this, Zhang Juming, King Beimang, Mu Yan and others all looked at Liu Jin.
Lu Ning smiled and said nothing, and left the Manna Hall with everyone.
Liu Jin, who was in front of Ganlu Hall, stared at the backs of everyone with a sinister look in his eyes.
For "The Art of Spring in Dead Trees", he spent a lot of money and effort.
In just one month, not to mention whether the severed limbs can be regenerated, at least the cultivation level has been upgraded from the seventh level to the fifth level. Even Cao Dachun can't compare with such a speed of cultivation.
…
evening.
The Demon-Suppressing Division.
Lin Jian, Su Jianxing, Chen Hu and others returned to the Hall of Justice.
"Sir, we have checked the whole city and found no demonic scent." Chen Hu looked at Lu Ning and said respectfully.
Lu Ning looked at Lin Jian and Su Jianxing. Both of them shook their heads. It was obvious that they did not detect the demonic aura.
"It's just the palace that didn't investigate."
Lu Ning murmured, as long as mortals come into contact with demons, their bodies will have some demonic aura attached to them.
Now the whole city has been investigated, except the palace.
After thinking for a while, Lu Ning said: "No more investigating, let's just lure the snake out of the hole."
"Chen Hu, tomorrow morning, you will personally lead thousands of households under your command to Youzhou to investigate the three sects of Sha Humen, Fulong Sect, and Qianwu Hall. If they do not cooperate, they will be suppressed directly. If they do not submit to the imperial court, there will be no need to do so.
Stayed."
"As for the Huangquan Gate, Jiuzhong Gate, and aristocratic families in Youzhou, ignore them for the time being."
"It's my lord."
Chen Hu cupped his fists and accepted the order.
Lu Ning looked at Zuo Hongchen and said, "Tomorrow you will go straight to Qingzhou and Jinlei Temple with thousands of families under your command. There will be no need to investigate Lihentian, and there will be no need to investigate the aristocratic families. Every sect above the third rate will be spared."
"It's my lord!" Zuo Hongchen accepted the order.
