The master of the Taoist sect responded with two sentences.
The first sentence: Rebuild the Thousand Chariots Department to punish evildoers.
This sentence only has seven words, but it contains a huge amount of information.
Reconstruction means that Qiancheng Kingdom originally had a department to punish evildoers.
The existence of the Department of Punishing Evil proves that Qiancheng Kingdom once had judges, but later due to other reasons, the judges disappeared.
It's okay to rebuild it. It won't cost much to rebuild it.
Qian Limu only spent 500,000 silver to build a new punishment office. I want to rebuild one, and at most 200,000 to 300,000 taels will be enough.
The remaining silver can be used for great purposes, but there is no need to have too much silver.
But why is it called Qiancheng Punishing Evil Division?
In Daxuan, there is a punishment department for each prefecture. There are Jingcheng punishment department, Zhuzhou punishment department, Huazhou punishment department. Yongzhou and Luzhou have special circumstances. The two prefectures share one punishment department.
It would be more reasonable to talk about rebuilding the "Shenlin City Punishment Division", which proves that the way of judging in Qiancheng Kingdom is basically the same as that in Daxuan.
"Rebuilding the Department of Punishing Evil."
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Whose servant?"
Xu Zhiqiong was startled.
Living people live in the upper world, while dead souls live in the underworld.
Zhonglang Courtyard is located in Liangjie Prefecture. Xu Zhiqiong was afraid of getting lost, so he brought a guiding lantern.
One gate has disappeared, and only half of the other gate remains.
"How far is the Qiancheng Punishing Evil Division from here? Can it be reached overnight?"
"Servants, servants of the master of the Taoist sect." Qian Limu's tone was a little soft and hollow.
The servant cared about the ritual of entering the city, so he stepped forward and pushed open the half of the city gate, and led Xu Zhiqiong into the city.
Less words and more rules?
What a strange person.
Xu Zhiqiong performed the ritual, and the master of the Taoist sect immediately responded...
He wanted to walk between the collapsed walls and walk into the stone house to take a look, but suddenly he heard the servant say: "Let's go through the door!"
That's right, the outer wall of this city is made up of hundreds of two-story stone houses.
The servant asked again: "Are you Ma Shangfeng, the fourth-grade judge?"
Wait, why is it a city wall again?
He saw a section of the city wall with no end in sight.
On that day, Xu Zhiqiong put aside all the chores and waited quietly in Zhonglang Courtyard.
Does the master of the Taoist sect also serve people?
Xu Zhiqiong was about to ask again, but he saw Qian Limu looking at Xu Zhiqiong blankly: "Brother, what is the relationship between you and the master of the Taoist sect?"
Xu Zhiqiong was startled: "Why did you come to me?"
They looked at each other for a moment. Seeing that the ghost was still for a while, the servant stepped forward and kicked him.
Of course, it's not necessarily Xue Yun. Judging from the speed of eating the tributes, it could also be the master, who happened to be fasting today.
On which level of the city is the Evil Punishment Department located?
This kind of layered city seems not suitable for building large-scale buildings.
Qian Limu completed the ritual and received a response eleven days later. In the eyes of the Taoist seniors, this was already extremely fast.
The servant who had been silent for a long time spoke.
After passing through the city gate, there is a road four to five feet wide, paved with stone slabs. Opposite the road is a city wall.
"Brother Qian, I have only been in Taoism for a few years. How can I become the master of the Taoist sect? There are no judges in Qiancheng Kingdom. I want to reopen the Taoist sect. I think the master of the Taoist sect also has this wish, so he responded to me so quickly."
The servant turned around and left without any intention of entering, and without leaving Xu Zhiqiong any time to prepare.
Is there time for a cup of tea?
It seems that there is not even half a cup of tea!
Qian Limu felt that his understanding of Taoism had been challenged.
Boom!
Isn't the Qiancheng Punishment and Evil Department even more shabby than the Zhuzhou Punishment and Evil Department?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the dark city gate on the third floor and asked, "Where is the Department of Punishing Evil?"
My guess is that this is not an "inner city" in the true sense.
Don't mention Master's affairs casually, just try to fool him.
Why so?
A loud bang!
Xu Zhiqiong felt ringing in his ears.
Does he know that I am a fourth-grade judge?
Can he see through latent goggles?
There was a huge figure in front, hugging his knees, sitting on the ground, looking at the sky in a daze.
Identity confirmed.
Xu Zhiqiong blinked.
You guessed it right, this "inner city" city wall is also made up of stone houses, but the scale of the stone houses is larger than that of the outer city. The area of one "inner city" stone house is equivalent to four outer city stone houses.
, also divided into upper and lower floors.
The long ghost I met last time had a seventh-level cultivation level. Regardless of his combat power, his head was about the same size as a water tank. He was squatting on the ground and his body was higher than the city gate. This feeling of oppression was real.
The servant didn't answer.
The long ghost slowly turned his face and looked at the servant quietly.
Is this city a zigzag building, divided into an inner city and an outer city?
"Walk."
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Brother, what do you call me?"
Long ghost.
There was no room for negotiation, so he walked slowly along the broken wall, as if he must enter through the city gate.
Qian Limu sighed: "You still blame me, blame me for not having great ambitions. Brother, after all, you are a person who can do great things! If I follow you to Qiancheng Country, I am destined to not suffer any losses on this trip!"
However, the master of the Taoist sect should not have only one servant. Maybe the one Brother Qian met was special.
A burst of smoke and dust rose up in the thick fog. The smoke and dust dispersed, and the long ghost disappeared.
The city wall is very broken and incomplete. You can see a collapse every ten feet or so.
Because the end of the city wall could never be seen, Xu Zhiqiong thought that the scale of this ancient city might be no less than that of the capital city based on what he could see.
There is actually a city in Liangjie Prefecture?
The people in charge have no intention of taking any detours.
The two of them were silent all the way, walking straight forward in silence. According to Xu Zhiqiong's estimation, they walked for seven or eight hours, and finally saw a building in the wilderness.
Xu Zhiqiong opened the door and saw a tall man standing outside the door, with a mask on his face and flamboyant beard and hair exposed around the mask.
Xu Zhiqiong stood in the middle of the stone road and looked back at the outer wall.
Looking closer, the city wall is two feet high, full of cracks and scars.
This proves that the scale of the Judge Way in Qiancheng Kingdom is very small.
It was impossible to see where Chang Gui landed in the thick fog, but judging from the time he stayed in the air, he flew a long distance.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother Qian, I will send you the money first, and quickly let the Yonglu Punishment Department start work."
This matter definitely cannot be hidden from the master of the Taoist sect, but Xu Zhiqiong still has to verify the identity of the other party.
And depending on what the servants wanted, Qiancheng Punishing Evil Division was in this ancient city.
The city wall is broken and in pieces, where is the door?
The size of the city can be roughly estimated from the size of the city gate. The size of the city gate of this ancient city is really comparable to that of the capital city.
This wall is more than just a wall.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
Zhong Jianxue once said that the long ghosts have a certain level of combat power, and some of the long ghosts even have cultivation bases.
What about the inner city wall in front of you? Is it also made up of stone houses?
The inner city wall was planned to be the same height as the outer city wall, and there were many cave-ins. Xu Zhiqiong followed the soldiers through the gate of the "inner city" and saw the structure of the "inner city".
Houses are connected to houses.
The servants walked for more than an hour and finally reached the city gate.
Who lives in the Two Realms States?
I thought he wouldn't answer, but he actually spoke.
"You shouldn't ask."
Xu Zhiqiong followed the servants and tried to estimate the size of this ancient city.
Less words, more rules.
This is a room!
A two-story stone house!
The width of the room is about five feet, and one-third of the wall collapsed. Next door to this room is another room...
Qian Limu went to take care of the affairs of the Yunan Punishment Division. Before leaving, he told Xu Zhiqiong: "The servant of the master of the Tao Sect has few words and many rules. You must not contradict him."
He did not directly mention the location of the Punishment Department, but first pointed to the outer wall behind him: "That is the residence of the mortal officials, called the officials' residence."
From the collapsed fracture, Xu Zhiqiong saw a special structure.
Is this city wall with no end in sight made up of stone houses with exactly the same specifications?
This was the first time Xu Zhiqiong saw such a strange building.
It may not be that he saw through it, it should be the master of the Taoist sect who saw through it.
"Fourth-grade judge, Ma Shangfeng?" The man checked Xu Zhiqiong's identity.
The two went back and forth several times and sent 200,000 silver to Qian Limu's Zhonglang Courtyard.
Boom!
Xu Zhiqiong had seen this thing in Liangjie Prefecture. The last time Zhong Jianxue was there, he scared the long ghost away with a little shock.
Xu Zhiqiong guessed half of it right.
The servant didn't respond and just walked forward.
The structure of the inner city and the outer city is not uncommon, but the distance is too close, and there is only one road between them.
The long ghost fell to the ground.
If I say we are sworn brothers, will it scare Brother Qian?
Not to mention, the servants of the Taoist Master are both punctual and polite.
You can imagine that when this ancient city was not in ruins, there was a stone house and a family. They were the outermost residents of this ancient city.
"With such a huge wasteland and no grass growing, there is no way to go. But we can't take a few steps around?" Xu Zhiqiong was very puzzled.
Just when I was stunned, there was another loud noise in the distance.
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment.
This reminded Xu Zhiqiong of An Shuyuan.
Looking at the time, when I arrived, there was a knock on the front door of Zhonglang Courtyard.
Is there a city inside the city wall?
The five words "Qiancheng Punishing Evil Division" convey another message: Qiancheng Kingdom probably only has one Punishing Evil Division.
After entering the "inner city", there is a spacious road in front of you, and there is a city wall on the opposite side of the road.
This is no longer a Hui-shaped building. This is another entrance inside the Huizi, and there is an "inner city" inside.
Anshu Courtyard is a "return"-shaped building, which is divided into an inner courtyard and an outer courtyard.
Xu Zhiqiong asked Qian Limu: "Who are you asking me to wait for?"
The thickness of the city wall was more than two feet, and it was hollow inside. Xu Zhiqiong saw the stone stairs and partitions from the broken wall.
Fortunately, Xu Zhiqiong was prepared in advance and followed the servant out of the gate of Zhonglang Courtyard and entered the wasteland shrouded in thick fog.
The servant still didn't answer.
The man lowered his head and stared at Xu Zhiqiong for a moment: "I am a servant."
It seems that he is the servant that Brother Qian was talking about.
But this servant obviously didn't have such a deterrent effect. He walked up to the Changgui, but the Changgui didn't run away or react in any way.
"Who are you?"
"What's that thing in front of?"
The servant said to the ghost in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
The two walked through the wasteland for a long time, with the servant always leading the way without saying a word.
"A craftsman likes to go straight."
This long ghost seems to be blocking Yu Ren's way, and Yito Ren has no intention of taking a detour.
Is there a "Nenene" city inside the "Nenenei City"?
How could such a city exist?
Who would live in such a strange building?
Xu Zhiqiong's estimate was correct.
Second sentence: Waiting at Zhonglang Courtyard at midnight tonight.
On the inside of the outer wall, Xu Zhiqiong saw the upper and lower rows of windows and the neatly arranged doors.
Who lives in such a large city?
Xu Zhiqiong is difficult to understand.
The servant pointed to the inner wall next to him: "That's the residence of the chief guide, called the chief secretary's house."
Xu Zhiqiong shuddered.
The servant pointed to the "inner wall" in front: "That's the Judge's Pavilion and Yilang Pavilion."
What's the meaning?
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Xu Zhiqiong looked around: "Could this whole city be..."
The servant nodded: "This is the Qiancheng Punishing Evil Division."
