After Zuo Counselor Sima Zhi left, Wuxu threw the scroll on the table.
This wooden desk is brownish-red in color, with dense lines and no deep processing. The style is a bit like something from the Demon Realm. There is some dust and a few scrolls, which are piled up in the upper left corner in a slightly messy manner. Other than that,
Outside, there is nothing else.
Since you want me to use the seal, where is the city master's seal? Wuxu suddenly thought, and then he couldn't help but look around. There seemed to be none in the study, at least he didn't see it. And no one handed it over to me? Doesn't Sima Zhi know?
You're visiting me late at night. Could you please give me your seal?
If it were anyone else, he would naturally be furious. But Wuxu didn't originally want to be the city lord, a cultivator, or an official. Therefore, Wuxu was not annoyed, but was aroused with a little interest.
He sat down, casually pulled out a scroll on the desk, unfolded it, and read it carefully.
This scroll is a prison record. A certain person, a mortal, disrespected the monks, and was sentenced to thirty whippings in public and expelled from the city; a certain person, a Confucian monk, a third-level real person, secretly carried demonic objects even into the city, and was punished
He served in the city lord's palace for fifty years; so-and-so, a demon monk, sneaked into the city privately, confiscated everything and then sent him back...
It can’t be said that it is not stern. Looking at the date, it turned out to be the year 1900 of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is more than seventy years ago. There is a mark on the back of the scroll, which should be the seal of the city lord. There is a red city wall forming the word Yongzhou City, surrounded by
There is a blank space, which looks like falling snow.
Wuxu pulled out another scroll.
But it is a census and statistics form of Yongzhou City and its jurisdiction. There are 330 monks (excluding the garrison) and 2846 lay people. The monks are divided into subdivisions, which sects, and their cultivation levels.
How, where are you... Ordinary people also have similar subdivisions, gender, age, where they are... This is interesting, the monks only look at the cultivation of the sect, gender and age.
unimportant.
Wuxu became excited and drew another scroll.
This scroll records an unsettled case of a family named Zhao in the city. This Zhao family, relying on the appearance of a noble concubine Zhao in the family, ran rampant, and was wiped out overnight. The result of the investigation was that there was a man named Zhou Yanzhi.
People paid money to hire masters from the Demonic Domain, sneaked into the city, and killed the entire Zhao family.
Could this Zhou Yan be the Zhou Yan of the tiger clan that he knew? Wuxu looked down.
It is written later that after the incident, Zhou Yan escaped by chance and disappeared, so he reported it to Yongzhou and requested Dali Temple to order Chongshan City to assist in the investigation.
Chongshan City, Wuxu remembered, was the largest city among the cities bordering the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Monster Clan. This was the right number.
But the information content on the scroll is gone at this point. There is no city lord seal at the end of the scroll. It seems that it is an abandoned copy or manuscript.
Because of Zhou Yan's relationship, Wuxu couldn't help but take out the previous scroll and unfold it.
However, the contents of this scroll are not unrelated at all. Moreover, looking at the title and text, it seems that it is the text sent to Yongzhou City by the Zhou Dynasty.
In the part where the head is raised, there is naturally no such thing as "inherited by heaven". Wuxu looked carefully and saw the eight words "Xiao Yuan Yongzhou City and its garrison", with a vermilion color, written in one go, with a majestic aura, like a flying sword from the sky.
Then, the sword power did not decrease, but formed another vertical column, like the Milky Way falling into the sky. "Why are there so many mortals rushing into the demonic realm recently?"
Then, the word "fan" came out.
Unprinted.
Fan Wuxu thought for a moment and finally remembered that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was called Ji Fan. Of course, it is no longer the case. On that day, after the great changes in the capital, Ji Fan completely disappeared. Now the newly enthroned Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty,
It seems to be called Ji Chang.
Looking at the scroll again, it is slightly dusty. The sword-like strokes of the writing on it are still there, but there is no longer any aura. Wuxu, when he was in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had heard that such an edict came from the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Even the handwritten notes can naturally condense the spiritual energy around them, and create a myriad of atmospheres according to their wishes, and there is no room for fraud.
What is the reason why so many mortals have been rushing into the demonic realm recently?
There are no modern punctuation marks. But the gaps between words are different; the horizontal hooks and the strokes also have their own artistic conception. It is as if someone is talking in front of you, his words, his tone, his
The metaphorical meaning...you will understand clearly.
For example, the last two words, "Yuan". The word "Yuan" swept across it like a plow at the end, and then lifted it up slightly at the end, and then unexpectedly went against the rules and did not follow the trend, writing it on the left side.
He slashed diagonally in the air, turned to the right side and started writing again, then paused, turned around and wrote again.
, and finally a long vertical stroke, so that the last word "Yu" looks a bit like the word "Shen", but after a pause, the pen is slightly raised to the left, and the tip is hooked. This way of moving the pen vertically and horizontally is the realization at this moment.
Looking at Xu, he couldn't help but feel the dissatisfaction and warning in these few words.
Ordinary people rush from Yongzhou City to the Demon Realm?
Generally speaking, the Great Zhou Dynasty took the most care of ordinary people. It is said that the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ji Tian, was a ordinary person from the beginning. The establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty also relied on some power of ordinary people.
So, for thousands of years, compared to the six major sects of Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, demons and demons,
, the Great Zhou Dynasty promulgated many policies to favor ordinary people, which caused nine out of ten ordinary people in Xuanyin Star to gather within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Trickle by drop, it accumulates day and night, and eventually it is like a river or a sea, suppressing the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In this way, how could ordinary people rush to the demonic realm? Wuxu was puzzled, so he looked through the scrolls on the desk, but found nothing. The reason was unknown. How did he deal with it or act at that time? How was he reported in the end?
Wuxu didn't even find the relevant scroll.
Wuxu suddenly burst into laughter. Heaping up old papers late at night, he, a baffled city lord, actually became a "bookworm" here. Then he put the old scrolls in their original positions one by one, and left, returning to the quiet place.
Meditate in the room, wait for tomorrow, and move according to the time.
When he closed the door, Wu Xu saw that under the pearly light, his handprints were everywhere on the scrolls, so he waved his hand again and cast a purity seal.
The Buddhist Purity Seal was originally practiced by Buddhist monks
When it is practiced, it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and purifying the mind. Later, after evolution, it has the effect of removing dust.
Wuxu used this seal to eliminate the fingerprints he left on those scrolls. Unexpectedly, those scrolls, affected by the spiritual power of this seal, actually changed, and each of them began to float in the air. Not to mention
It is said that some of them actually expanded automatically, and the words on them seemed to be alive.
It turns out that the scrolls of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all made of spiritual objects. They were opened by monks with spiritual energy when they were uploaded and sent down. All the information was presented, just like the holographic technology of later generations. These were discarded or left on the case.
Although the scroll is said to be from the previous dynasty, and although it is a little old, it is naturally triggered by Wuxu reading it and sealing it at this moment.
In an instant, Wuxu vaguely saw some torture scenes. One person, who could only be seen as a person, was whipped dozens of times with a thick long whip, and then was carried by two sergeants and thrown out of the city.
Outside the door, there was a monk fighting a battle with a group of monks in uniform, but was defeated miserably...
There was a monk I had never seen before, flashing through the air; behind him, there were countless vague handwritings, which seemed to contain all the information about him, including his name, cultivation, sect, gender, social relations, and transactions in Yongzhou City.
Consumption record......
In a place in Yongzhou City, blood flowed into a river, souls were scattered, demonic aura rippled, and Zhou Yan, half human and half tiger, vaguely escaped...
These seem to be the background. There is a figure in the void. Although it is blurry, it is tall and solemn. The face cannot be seen clearly, but around him, there are more than ten light groups like characters, which are either dim or flickering.
Wuxu only saw four words: mortal, demon, and reason...
What is the reason why so many mortals have been rushing into the demonic realm recently?
There is a person, blurry like a ball of light. In front of him, he should be Wuxu's predecessor, the then Lord of Yongzhou City. There is another picture behind him, but it is even blurrier.
Wuxu's spiritual consciousness was fully observing, but he could only vaguely see, or feel, the information conveyed by the picture. It seemed that some people were eating meat and drinking wine, some were hugging each other, some were dying, and some were laughing, in a very dim place.
in the evil spirit.
All these things, as Wuxu removed the Purity Seal, all disappeared like a flash in the pan, along with a little dust on those scrolls.
"Reporting to the city lord, the villagers of Niutou Village, after being placed in the relief office outside the mansion by Counselor Zuo, started making noises and wanted to leave the city." The annoying boy appeared like a ghost again and hurriedly reported to Wuxu.
"Going out of the city?" Wuxu raised his head. Above the restricted barrier of the city lord's mansion, the ice and snow unique to the Northeast were flying in the sky. "It's freezing cold. What are ordinary people like them going to do out of the city?"
"They are clamoring to go to the Demon Realm." The young man seemed to be afraid that Wuxu would not know the pros and cons. He also raised his head and said with a sad face, "The city lord didn't know something, ruled the common people, and defected to the Zhou Dynasty. This is a big deal."
Wuxu couldn't help but turn around and looked at the pile of golden scrolls.
The scroll was unfolded one night, and even if there were secrets, they were still dust.
I wanted to keep the seal without leaving any trace, but the wind and snow were flying all over the sky.
