Cao An sat on the ground, took out a piece of cake and ate it, thinking about something. The cake was too dry, so he had to drink two mouthfuls of water from the gourd from time to time.
The old dog circled around the donkey, his eyes shining with light.
'The smart demon has already started to act and has hugged his lap. Look at this powerful donkey. How can ordinary people raise this?'
It was originally a yellow dog raised by the old bachelor in the fishing village. It was ordinary and ignorant. As the old saying goes, a chicken does not live for three years and a dog does not live for six years. This old bachelor didn't care at all. He kept it for ten years until he first
After a sudden death, the old dog became a stray, and no one in the village was willing to take it in.
The fishing village is not big, and most of the people there are old faces. Others just don't raise it, but they are not afraid of it. It goes to the mountains during the day, guarding the grave of the old bachelor, and returns to the shabby house at night, and occasionally hangs out.
Two mouthfuls of food, and there are also some small animals in the mountains that can be caught and eaten.
Not that he would starve to death. After five years of cold and heat, the old dog that tasted blood food not only did not die, but grew stronger and bigger, got new teeth, and grew brighter hair.
, even more vicious.
The people in the village began to drive it away and chased it away when they saw it. Everyone was afraid of it.
So, it entered the mountain temple and stayed there. Only there would it have endless food and no one would chase it away.
One night, a voice sounded in its head. Following the guidance, it walked into the temple. The next day it gained wisdom and became the guardian demon in the mountain temple. It also gained the ability to control the wind of demons. Cao An and others
People are its first business, but it doesn’t seem to be successful.
Of course, everything is in the past now. After seeing the hell-like power last night, the only master the old dog recognizes in his heart now is this man who doesn't look fierce at all.
'I'm kidding, do you think he's easy to bully because he's gentle? Then you haven't seen how many terrifying beings are covering him.'
"Master, why don't you give me a name for Lao Huang?"
Cao An shook off the debris on his body and said, "Why don't we just call him Ah Huang."
"Well... the master is really knowledgeable and discerning, so he refuses to accept anything. I like this name Huang so much. Thank you master for giving me the name." The old dog was so moved that he almost shed tears. I don't know if he really liked it.
Or something else.
"By the way, I vaguely remember someone saying something like: Where does the magic of asking for magic come from? Do you know what this means? Or, does asking for magic of magic have any special meaning?" The effect of the drug wore off.
Cao An remembered something.
"Master, Ah Huang is just an old dog that has lived in a fishing village for seventeen years. I only learned about it after coming into contact with the mountain temple. Basically, I learned all of it."
"That's true, but when I listen to your description of the statue, I feel that this Blood Spirit God looks a bit like the Collarbone Bodhisattva."
Clavicle Bodhisattva, giving in the flesh, cannot be said to be good or bad, but it is contrary to the mainstream moral concepts of the public, and it has a somewhat deviant meaning.
"Don't talk to anyone in the future. Let's go. We should also go into the city. We need to replenish supplies first. After that, we may not go into the city again for a long time."
"Follow your wishes, master. Your instructions are Ah Huang's highest guidance."
Cao An:……
Hemu Town, Jingyisi Stronghold Dungeon.
"Have you asked what happened?" Zhu Yi captured Qi Jingchu as he walked into the dungeon, his eyes passing over the half-dead Du Yunfei and his wife, without any pity on his face.
"Everything has been explained, sir, but these two are only the lowest level believers in the Blood Spirit Cult, and they know very little information."
"There's something there."
"All the things they committed are recorded in it. In the past few years, a total of forty-two people, including women, children, and young adults, were sacrificed. They were all deceived from the ferry, stunned with drugs, and sent directly to Xiaoyin Village.
Temple…”
Qi Jingchu frowned and finished reading the transcript, "In other words, they themselves don't know what happened to the Blood Spirit Religion?"
"It's not clear. They don't even know what happened. According to the news from Jingyi Departments in various places, the same thing happened in all the Blood Spirit Cult strongholds we have. The statues turned into ashes, and the divine will
dissipate."
"Who is behind the scenes? Jing Yisi has been watching for so many years, and overnight, all plans have been disrupted. What's the use of catching some low-level believers? They are just trash fish chasing the outside world.
The core information is not grasped at all, where is the backbone we were looking at before?"
"They got the information earlier than we did. After the idol mutated, it disappeared. By the time we reacted, there was no trace of it."
Qi Jingchu also has a headache now. A cult that develops quietly is not scary. Jingyisi has long been eyeing them, but now, almost all the strongholds have been destroyed. From a general perspective, it is the Blood Spirit Cult that has been fatally affected.
Strike, if these strongholds are destroyed one by one, a lot of energy will be wasted.
But on the other hand, they have almost completely lost the clues of the Blood Spirit Cult. They have no idea where they will make a comeback and how they will appear.
"Wait a minute, according to the information we have, other strongholds did not offer any living sacrifices last night. They are the only ones who have asked for information about the four living sacrifices?" Qi Jingchu's eyes lit up, and she felt as if she had no living sacrifices.
Caught something.
"I have asked, four people, including three mothers and children. The woman is Fu Rong, the wife of Cao Qingyun, the master of Qingxi County's bloody martial arts hall. She is just an ordinary person, and the two children have not been exposed to martial arts. This time they are
I went back to my parents' home to visit my relatives, and as for the other one, he was just a martial artist from Erjing named Cao An."
Qi Jingchu listened quietly and nodded. There was indeed no doubt that it could have such an impact on the Blood Spirit Cult. It had nothing to do with ordinary people or Erjing Wufu.
"Hmm, eh?? Wait a minute, what's the name of the Takeo Erjing you just mentioned?"
"Cao An!"
"That Cao An on the bounty plan?"
"I didn't pay attention to this."
Qi Jingchu was almost certain of this fact. Only a few days ago, clues came back that Cao An appeared in Dafengyi, and Qingxi is not far from Dafengyi. If you hit the horse, you can get there in half a day. How could such a coincidence happen?
, two people named Cao An appeared in such a close place, and they were also Erjing Wufu.
He stood up in a hurry and pressed the knife with one hand.
"Arrange two brothers to send these two people to the county government to deal with them according to the law. The others will assemble immediately and follow me to the ferry."
The sword guards quickly took action, and after a while, the eight knights rolled up a puff of smoke and left the city.
Qi Jingchu himself couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but there was a voice that seemed to tell him that this matter was related to Cao An, at least directly.
There is only one road from the ferry to Hemu Town. She now hopes that Cao An will not run around in the mountains and plains like before. He is as afraid of seeing people and will not enter the town as long as he still has some food on his body.
No matter how tough the horse is, it can't stand the long-distance running. Halfway through the journey, a few people slowed down slightly and took advantage of this time to replenish their strength on the horse's back.
"Boss, you don't doubt that Er Jingwufu did this, right?"
"No, even if it is a wild god, it is still a god. It is an existence that transcends the mortal world. Its various magical methods are not comparable to those of us warriors. To cross several states and crush thousands of spiritual consciousnesses in one fell swoop is almost impossible.
It's possible." Qi Jingchu knew it in her heart and said calmly.
"What do you mean?"
Qi Jingchu took a deep breath, as if trying to keep himself calm, "There is only one possibility, and that is that Cao An has another god, whose rank is far higher than that of the wild god.
He is probably the righteous god from ancient times. Only in this way and under the rules can such a feat be accomplished."
If the old dog were here, he would applaud Zhu Yiqin for his knowledge.
"You don't have to think too much. Although this information is secret, there is no prohibition. I just have more contact with you than you. I think many people in the Jingyi Division's senior management should have guessed the answer. It's just information.
The transmission takes time, they haven’t focused their attention on us yet.”
The sword guard leader of the Jingyi Division looked unhappy, "If everything goes as expected, will the imperial court remove his name from the reward plan? After all, there is an ancient god behind him. With such power..."
Qi Jingchu chuckled and said, "You are overthinking and still don't understand what I mean. God's rules are only useful to gods. In other words, he can have such a record only because the god behind him is higher in rank than the wild god. It just so happens
The rules have been triggered again, that's all. If we really talk about strength, the ancient righteous gods have lost their divine power and their strength has been greatly reduced by now. It is already very good to be comparable to the warriors of the Eight or Nine Scenery, but in Chaozhong, it is not
There is a lack of such offerings.”
"If it is true, as I guessed, it only needs to be reported. How to deal with it is the decision of the high-ranking officials in the court and has nothing to do with us. As for whether you want to remove it from the reward policy, that involves the court.
As a matter of face, have you seen the imperial court remove the eight wanted criminals from the reward plan?"
The leader of the sword guards smiled sarcastically, "No, the one who ranked first in the reward plan was already a master of the eight scenes six years ago."
Removal may not necessarily result in removal, but it is not a bad idea to move him up in the ranking. It will not damage the court's face, but will also encourage others to retreat. Anyway, this is not the first time the court has done this kind of thing.
Qi Jingchu was thoughtful and knowledgeable, and he guessed the whole incident very well. He didn't blame anyone else, only that the wild god happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. If it had been someone else, such as an evil ghost, a big demon, or a warrior, then
There is absolutely no way it could have caused what happened last night.
But she guessed a little, Cao An did not only have one ancient god, but immortal Buddhas all over the sky.
"It's almost time to rest. Let the brothers speed up and try to meet this mysterious Erjing Wufu within today."
