Chapter One Hundred and Eighty-Fourth Court of Punishment
The power of the three swords of Abi Dao, which can be called crazy, is so extreme that even the warriors of the Ghost King Sect can't help but feel frightened.
When Chu Xiu slashed with his sword, a powerful evil ghost mist suddenly erupted from behind the warrior of the Ghost King Sect, and a harsh ghost howl sounded. There seemed to be a fierce ghost in front of Chu Xiu's eyes.
He rushed towards him, and the sinister and cold aura seemed to be swallowing up his life!
At that moment, Chu Xiu formed the Zhe Zi Jue with his hands, and a hazy and mysterious aura enveloped his whole body, resisting the evil and strange power.
Zhezi Jue, inner lion seal, the Lord will be restored, and he will not fall down for a hundred calamities!
In the face of this similar spiritual attack, the inner lion seal has a stronger defensive capability than the Dugu seal.
Furthermore, Chu Xiu himself had also practiced the Heavenly and Earthly Destroying Soul-Transferring Technique. His own spiritual power was extremely powerful, and his defensive ability against this power was also stronger.
However, when Chu Xiu blocked the blow, the figure of the Ghost King Sect warrior was no longer in front of him, which made Chu Xiu's face suddenly darken.
At this time, King Ghost Hands from afar, Du Guangzhong and others also hurried over and asked: "Sir, did you leave that person behind?"
Chu Xiu shook his head and said: "The opponent is a warrior at the Three Flowers Gathering Realm. It is not easy to keep him in a head-on confrontation.
Moreover, the other party also had all kinds of weird methods at his disposal. I was unprepared for a moment and allowed him to escape.
By the way, King Ghost Hand, what exactly is the ghost technique of Ghost King Sect, is it really a ghost?"
Thinking of the evil scene in the ghost mist just now, even Chu Xiu couldn't tell whether that thing was a real evil ghost.
The Ghost Hand King shook his head and said: "I don't know very well either. This Yin Ghost Secret Technique is an undisclosed secret of the Ghost King Sect. I have only scratched the surface of it.
According to my understanding, the ghosts raised by this ghost secret technique are actually part of one's own spirit.
The warriors in the Three Flowers Gathering Realm have reached the peak of their spirit, energy and spirit. This Yin ghost is a part of their own spirit. It was stripped out and sacrificed with the Yin evil ghost energy day and night, becoming an invisible and intangible spirit.
Qualitative ghosts can affect the spirit and kill people invisible.
Therefore, only those who have reached the realm of Three Flowers Gathering are qualified to practice this secret technique of ghosts and ghosts.
Legend has it that after you have mastered the secret art of ghosts, you can turn from virtual to real and become a physical ghost soldier, ghost general or even a ghost king. I don’t know if this is true or not."
Chu Xiu nodded and said: "Okay, I get it, hurry up and investigate. It's not without gain this time. At least we already know what the people of the Ghost King Sect want to do. From now on, we will keep an eye on the pharmacies in various states.
Start checking."
It was Chu Xiu's decision to check the drug store on a whim. Since the Ghost King Sect needs the five internal organs and herbs with five properties to refine the Five Qi Chaoyuan Dan to kill people, then if the opponent does not have enough resources, he will definitely come to the drug store to purchase it.
So in the past few days, Chu Xiu had been investigating pharmacies in various small towns in Jianzhou Prefecture, and he found some clues.
It's just that one person is enough to purchase medicinal materials, so Chu Xiu only found one person this time, but he didn't succeed in keeping him.
At this time, Du Guangzhong said: "By the way, sir, there was news from the Guanxi Punishment Hall branch just now, saying that they want to invite you to go. It should be about the remnants of the Ghost King Sect."
Chu Xiu frowned and said, "Has this matter already alerted the Kansai branch?"
He can handle his own affairs by himself, and Chu Xiu is a little reluctant to make things too big. Besides, he also wants to send people to Wei Hanshan.
Now that this matter has alarmed the Kansai branch, the matter is somewhat beyond Chu Xiu's control.
"You continue to search here, Lao Du, and you follow me to the Kansai branch."
Now if Chu Xiu travels within Guanzhong, he likes to take two people with him, one is Ghost Hand King and the other is Du Guangzhong.
When the Ghost Hand King was in the Qinglong Club, he helped the Heavenly Sin Helmsman handle some chores in the branch. He even did more things than the Heavenly Sin Helmsman. It can be said that he is experienced, mature and prudent.
Du Guangzhong is similar. Apart from being a bit pedantic, he can be said to be a veteran headhunter in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. He is very familiar with this aspect. Taking him with him can help Chu Xiu save a lot of energy.
By the time Chu Xiu arrived at the Kansai branch, the other inspection envoys had already arrived.
The Guanxi branch now has six inspectors including Chu Xiu. Except for Wei Hanshan and Jiang Taoran, the other three are Yingzhou inspector Fang Hua, Linzhou inspector Situ Xing, and Anzhou inspector Cai Jingsheng.
Among these three people, Cai Jingsheng and Situ Xing are older. They are both old men in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. They have the cultivation level of the Five Qi Chao Yuan realm, while Fang Hua is in the realm of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.
Seeing Chu Xiu walking in at this time, Fang Hua was the first to smile and cup his hands and said: "Master Chu has set good rules in Jianzhou Mansion. The monthly income makes us jealous."
Although Chu Xiu brought a prohibited matter like smuggling to the forefront, which was a bit blatant, in fact, this kind of thing was tacitly accepted by the entire Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Everyone's salary is just that, if they don't find some extra money, what will they eat and drink? Anyway, Wei Jiuduan has acquiesced in this kind of behavior now. As long as Wei Jiuduan remains the executioner for one day, no one will care about this kind of thing.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Master Fang, please don't make fun of me. You are in charge of two state capitals. How can the income be lower than that of my Jianzhou capital?"
Fang Hua smiled bitterly and said: "It can't be compared. My two state capitals are closest to the land of Western Chu. Some of the local martial arts forces are also from Western Chu. Those barbarians from Western Chu have very bad tempers and are very troublesome.
I can't afford it and I can't afford it. I'm a very frustrated inspector."
Fang Hua is complaining here. In fact, it would be good if half of what he said is true.
The place in Guanzhong is the Guanzhong of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. As long as the inspectors don’t act too pedantically like the previous inspector Fang Zhengyuan did and offended both his subordinates and the outside world, in theory he can live a relatively comfortable life.
, the martial arts forces under him will respect the people of Guanzhong Punishment Hall at least in face of face, and they show a lot of filial piety during the holidays.
Of course, if they want to be like Chu Xiu and dominate this three-acre land in Jianzhou Mansion, it is basically impossible.
At this time, Situ Xing on the side also nodded and said: "As Master Fang said, our Guanzhong Punishment Hall has become increasingly difficult to manage in recent years. The local martial arts forces are getting stronger and stronger. If we are too strong,
But it's easy to go wrong.
Mr. Chu, you were able to subdue all the political forces under you in such a short period of time. This method is also very impressive to us old guys."
In the previous meetings with the inspectors of the Kansai branch, old people from the Kansai branch such as Situ Xing and Cai Jingsheng had the strength of the Five Qi Chaoyuan realm, so naturally they would not talk to juniors like Chu Xiu.
, even if their positions are the same.
But as Chu Xiu completely established his foundation in the Kansai region, Wei Hanshan was disgraced, and he even planned a new order in Jianzhou Prefecture to make the entire martial arts community in Jianzhou Prefecture surrender under his command. If they were placed in Chu Xiu
With their current strength and position, none of them are sure to reach Chu Xiu's current level.
So until this moment, everyone truly regarded Chu Xiu as a colleague and as an existence that could be treated as equals.
A few people were chatting here for a while, and then Jiang Taoran also walked in and chatted with everyone.
Wei Hanshan was the last to arrive.
Wei Hanshan did not have a good life during this period. He was punished by Wei Jiuduan in front of everyone, and the Chenzhou Mansion under his command was taken away by Wei Jiuduan and given to Jiang Taoran.
This is only a loss on the surface. Secretly, Wei Hanshan's reputation in Shangzhou Prefecture has plummeted. The local martial arts forces think that he has completely fallen out of favor. Unexpectedly, Wei Jiuduan likes him and even doesn't take him seriously.
Posture.
During this time, Wei Hanshan didn't go to trouble Chu Xiu, not because he didn't bear his grudge against Chu Xiu, but because he had so much trouble in his hands, how could he have the time to go to trouble Chu Xiu?
Wei Hanshan walked into the meeting hall and without saying a word, he glared at Chu Xiu angrily and snorted coldly: "Chu Xiu, your strength in Jianzhou Mansion is too useless to catch those evil villains. As a result, it even affected our business.
State capital, how did you become the inspector?"
Wei Hanshan's arrival this time was really an unforeseen disaster, because the people from the Ghost King Sect appeared in Jianzhou Mansion at the beginning, and it was Chu Xiu's pursuit that drove them towards Shangzhou Mansion, which also led to the Ghost King Sect's death.
The people also took action once in Shangzhou Prefecture.
However, naturally Chu Xiu would not say this kind of thing openly. He just asked coldly: "Wei Hanshan, don't forget who you are. No matter how incompetent I am as an inspection envoy, I will have Master Wei."
Come here to reprimand, who are you to be qualified to make irresponsible remarks to me here?
Or is it that you, Wei Hanshan, feel that Mr. Wei is getting old, so you want to replace Mr. Wei and exercise the authority of the executioner?"
As soon as these words came out, Situ Xing and Cai Jingsheng on the side didn't look very good. They also didn't like Wei Hanshan.
The two of them are the most powerful among the inspectors, but they are also the oldest. Their strength has reached a stage of decline, and it is basically impossible for them to take the position of executioner.
According to the rules of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, once Wei Jiuduan steps down as the executioner, either the Guanzhong Punishment Hall will send a leader from the Punishment Department to take over as the executioner, or it will directly select and train him from the inspectors in Guanzhong.
It doesn't matter if you are not strong enough. The most important thing is ability and potential. After all, it is better for someone who is familiar with the situation to hold the position of execution officer.
Therefore, there are only a few people in the Kansai branch who meet the requirements, and Wei Hanshan is one of them.
Before Chu Xiu came, Wei Hanshan had acted in a very high-profile and arrogant manner, which made Situ Xing and others a little dissatisfied. However, now his words really meant that Wei Jiuduan was scolding them, which made them very uncomfortable to hear.
