At the same time that the ghost king disappeared, Lin Ji was keenly aware that the ghost energy around him was dissipating at an extremely fast speed.
But after a moment, Lin Ji secretly shook his head in his heart.
"No, it's not simply dissipated." Lin Ji frowned slightly.
After searching with his spiritual sense for a moment, Lin Ji suddenly realized.
It was the Ghost King who left, taking the entire Ghost King City with him.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ji felt the world spinning. After a few breaths, he was no longer in the main hall of the Ghost King City before, but in the desolate mountains and forests.
"Are you leaving now? Then those fierce ghosts and ghost generals outside..."
"Without the backing of Ghost King City, can't you solve these ghosts?" Fang Yunshan's voice sounded from the side.
Lin Ji finally came to his senses and found that Official You Tian was still there.
"Liangzhou's chief arrester Lin Ji has met Fang Tianguan."
Fang Yunshan nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards Liangcheng.
Lin Ji didn't know why, but quickly followed him.
After walking for a while, Fang Yunshan's voice rang.
"You did a good job in your performance earlier. I believed most of what you said to refute the Ghost King."
"Sir, please stop making fun of me." Lin Ji twitched his lips in embarrassment.
Previously he thought he was quite quick-witted, but now that he knew that the Ghost King was just cooperating with Jian Tiansi in acting, Lin Ji felt even more embarrassed.
Fang Yunshan shook his head slightly.
"Don't belittle yourself. You can still be so eloquent under such circumstances. Among the younger generation, you are pretty good."
"Thank you, my lord."
"It's not a reward, I never give it." Fang Yunshan chuckled, "When Tianji left your name in the capital, Mr. Gao and I still felt strange. How could the soul-fixing and demon pestle be so important?
In the hands of a mere nobody?"
"Later, I specially asked someone to check your resume, and then I discovered that there is an interesting person like you in the Supervisory Office."
"Leave my name?" Lin Ji was puzzled.
Fang Yunshan explained: "When the Demon Suppressing Tower was breached, Master Gao had a fight with the villain who broke the formation, and the soul-fixing demon pestle disappeared."
"Of course, this is just an external statement... After repelling the bad guy, the Demonic Pestle was immediately recovered by Supervisor Tiansi."
Speaking of this, Fang Yunshan's tone contained a somewhat sarcastic smile.
"The Demon Suppressing Tower has been standing outside the capital for a thousand years. How could Supervisor Tiansi not think about today's situation? The soul-fixing and demon-suppressing pestle has already been equipped with means, and it can't be thrown away even if it wants to be thrown away!"
Lin Ji couldn't understand the reason and looked at Fang Yunshan in confusion.
"We don't want others to know that the soul-fixing demon pestle has been recovered."
After hearing this, Lin Ji thought for a moment.
He also thought about what the man in white robe had said before, that the three officials of the Supervisory Office were detained outside, but Fang Yunshan showed up here.
After a series of things were put together, Lin Ji realized it.
Jian Tiansi is creating an illusion of weakness.
Fishing law enforcement!
"That's why you gave this thing to me?" Lin Ji suddenly wondered.
"Yes." Fang Yunshan nodded calmly, "Your name was handed over by Tianji. After an investigation, Supervisor Tiansi couldn't find anyone more suitable than you, so Xingchi went to Qingyang County to get acquainted with you.
matter."
"Isn't there anyone more suitable?"
"Yes, if you want to conceal the whereabouts of the Demonic Pestle, you have to use your luck to set up a method. You are the demon hunter of Jian Tiansi, and your luck is vaguely connected to the fate of the country, so it is more appropriate."
Fang Yunshan said with a smile: "Actually, among us monks, no matter how advanced our cultivation is, who doesn't have great luck? But precisely because we hold high positions, we are too conspicuous and cannot hide it."
"It doesn't matter if I tell you some things. You may have guessed that the reason we spend so much effort is to lure the snake out of its hole and give those restless people a chance to seek death."
Lin Ji smiled bitterly.
What he said was really domineering.
Fang Yunshan continued: "Today's Supervisor Tiansi is no longer as pure as it was when it was first established a thousand years ago."
"The forces of the sect and the family are intertwined. Down to the local level, the little monsters collude with the locals to do evil. Up to the level of our three wandering officials, they may not all be of the same mind."
"The big Jiantiansi tree looks lush and leafy, but its roots have begun to rot."
"Are you waiting for You Tianguandu?" Lin Ji's eyes widened.
The second-rank Youtianguan, in terms of official position, is already a very popular minister! The six ministers are only a second-rank official.
In terms of cultivation, Lin Ji didn't know how strong You Tianguan was, but the Ghost King who just talked about the seventh realm obviously didn't have much confidence in front of Fang Yunshan.
This is the absolute core and senior level of Supervisor Tiansi.
But when he heard Fang Yunshan's words, Lin Ji realized what the current situation of Supervisor Tiansi was.
"Oh, wherever there are people, there will be fights. Mr. Gao has been in office for many years. Although his prestige is still the same as before, the position of the head of the Supervisory Sky Division will always be vacant."
At this point in the topic, Lin Ji did not dare to ask any more questions, and Fang Yunshan did not continue talking, but returned to the matter of Liang Cheng.
"There are many things involved in the matter of the Ghost King in Liangcheng. The siege of the city by thousands of ghosts is just a play performed by the Ghost King from beginning to end."
Lin Ji smiled bitterly and was speechless.
Fang Yunshan explained: "We are just following the plan, and the man in white robe is the culprit who planned everything... Do you know the reason why Miss Luo came to Liangcheng?"
Without waiting for Lin Ji's response, Fang Yunshan mocked: "No reason!"
"Don't you mean visiting relatives?"
"Luo Xiang's family are all from the capital. Where are their relatives in Liangcheng?" Fang Yunshan said coldly, "But even now, if no one wakes up the matter of Miss Luo's coming to Liangcheng, Luo Xiang will not think it is wrong."
question."
"Evil means?" Lin Ji thought of Mrs. Luo Xiang who was turned into a woman.
Fang Yunshan nodded and said: "Xiang Luo is a high-ranking official in the dynasty. If something happens to him, it will definitely affect the fate of the country."
"Then why not attack Luo Xiang directly?"
"In the capital, no one can touch the prime minister! Even if he uses tricks to plot against Luo Xiang's wife and daughter, the person who takes action will definitely pay a heavy price."
Speaking of this, Fang Yunshan sighed slightly.
"But no matter what, they succeeded. No matter what the cost, I'm afraid it's worth it. It's not just the matter of the Demon Suppression Tower and Luo Xiang, there are many secret methods that the Supervisor Tiansi has not discovered."
Fang Yunshan looked at Lin Ji.
"Today's great Qin national destiny has been shaken."
Lin Ji didn't understand these matters of national destiny, it was still too far away for him.
But he could vaguely detect it, including what Fang Yunshan said and what he didn't say.
It seems that the game between Jian Tiansi and the secret enemy revolves around the national destiny of Great Qin.
One side wants to overthrow the Qin Dynasty, while the other side is strictly guarding it.
At this moment, Supervisor Tiansi does not seem to have the upper hand.
At this point in the conversation, Fang Yunshan reached out and handed Miss Luo's soul to Lin Ji.
"This happened because of you, so it's up to you to send her to reincarnation."
Lin Ji took over the soul and found that Miss Luo was just trapped by a simple formation.
But before Lin Ji could say anything, when he looked up again, Fang Yunshan had disappeared.
Also disappearing with it was the soul-fixing and demon-conquering pestle in Lin Ji's hand.
