The purple carriage slowly moved forward on the galloping road near Xizhou.
There was no driver in the carriage, and the old horse pulling the carriage was hobbling, with dull hair and skinny bones, and looked like it might collapse at any time.
But no matter what curve the car rolled on, it always looked like it was dying.
No matter what kind of road conditions it encounters, the old horse still maintains a constant speed and keeps moving forward.
Inside the carriage.
A fair-skinned woman with black hair shawl and almond-shaped eyes and sharp eyebrows was sitting cross-legged on the seat, holding a roll of light yellow bamboo slips in her hand.
On the back of the bamboo slip, it is engraved: meaning, clear, residual, image.
Four big characters.
The handwriting is in ancient Chinese characters from the previous dynasty, and most people cannot recognize it at all. But in the woman's hands, there is no reading difficulty, and her fingers can easily flip through the pages.
"Lord Buddha, the boat sent by the Xuanmiao Sect has left. Shouldn't we take action too?"
Outside the carriage, beside the desolate road, a strong wind suddenly blew up.
The wind stopped, and a strong monk more than three meters tall appeared on the roadside.
The monk bowed his head and said respectfully to the slowly moving carriage.
"The departure of Yuanduzi means that the Xuanmiao Sect has withdrawn and ignored the affairs on land. So, do whatever you have to do, don't worry about it." The almond-eyed woman put down the bamboo slip and said softly.
"Has Zhou Lan been found?" she suddenly asked again.
"I found it...but...the bones were so corroded by the true energy that it was impossible to distinguish the human form...I could only detect the identity from the little remaining bone residue." The monk replied quickly.
Karma.
The carriage stopped.
The horse snorted, stood there and glanced at the monk lazily, then knelt down and shook its head to rest.
In the carriage, the woman was quiet for a moment and then said again.
"Have you found any real masters entering the mainland?"
"We have found some signs, but we don't know the specific direction. After all, you also know that real masters who are really powerful can hide themselves better than us." The monk replied.
"How many people were found?"
"Both of them should be real masters at the real level or above."
"Two people..." In the carriage, the woman gently moved her fingers.
"Ask the Yuelu people to cooperate and use the breath-sniffing monkeys to track them. There are many types of these alienated real people, and they can always find a use."
"Yes." The monk replied quickly.
Although the real people captured by the Zhenjin system are suppressed with special drugs, they will become alienated over time.
After transformation, various real beasts still have different functions. They can still be forced to be used by Da Yue.
"These real powers are disgusting." A trace of disgust flashed in the woman's beautiful eyes. "They should all be exterminated! Each one of them is a potential real beast, causing trouble to the world, destroying order, and bringing disasters! Unfortunately, the leader and
Your Majesty is just too kind."
"What Lord Buddha said is absolutely true. It's just that there are too many people practicing in the Zhenjin system, and they don't dare to move all of them for a while. I think the leader and His Majesty also want to reduce the turmoil..." the monk said with a bitter smile.
He is not an ordinary monk, so he naturally has access to these confidential information.
"According to the survey, 50% of the real beasts among the people are alienated from real people from various sects in the past. Even the alien beasts are the hybrids of alienated real beasts and wild beasts, and they are multiplied.
If this kind of scourge is not completely eliminated, why not wait until they all turn into real beasts and go around killing people?" the woman said coldly.
The monk also smiled bitterly and did not dare to say anything more.
There is really nothing wrong with this survey. Otsuki has carefully calculated survey statistics over the years and found that there are three sources of real beasts.
First, it is an achievement after the evolution and strengthening of natural beasts.
Second, it is caused by real people who cannot bear the reality and then become alienated.
Third, foreign real beasts migrated under the strong wind.
Among them, the largest number is two.
That is to say, the real person is alienated.
Back then, there were so many Zhenjin sects, and every year some people became real people, and every year some people were alienated and disappeared.
Even if there is a blessed land, there is an upper limit to the number of people that the blessed land can accommodate. If we just call the quota, what will happen to the rest of the people?
With so many sects and so many real people, where have the alienated people gone? Could it be possible to kill them all?
Having been in the same sect for many years, there are many people who cannot bear to kill, which is normal.
Real beasts have an extremely long lifespan. Once released, they will accumulate more and more...
From this, Otsutsuki was determined to completely eliminate the true energy and eliminate disasters and scourges.
"Okay, let's stop talking and let the Sniffing Monkey catch up along the way. You should know how much trouble it will cause once they break into the inland city after being able to kill and defeat the two real people of Haizhu Bodhisattva.
"
The woman pondered for a moment.
"These real people are particularly conspicuous when they enter the town, so they will definitely choose to use various methods to hide their identities. Therefore, the verification on the identity document can be used to make a fuss.
Send an order to all nearby cities to conduct detailed checks on the outsiders during this period. If there are clues, notify me as soon as possible. Now that everything is stable, we must not allow the real people to resurrect!"
"Understood!" The monk nodded quickly and excused himself.
To be honest, even if he is a master at the Bodhisattva level, he is still like an ant in front of the Lord Tianlong Buddha who is screening the true power.
After all, the person in front of him is one of the top geniuses who has broken through to the status of a grandmaster in recent years.
His name is Tianlong Buddha Lord Pangsha. Although he is a Buddha, he is not a monk. He only holds a position in Guangci Sect.
In fact, she herself is one of the five masters responsible for supervising Zhenjin throughout Dayue.
This time, because Zhou Lan was killed and Haizhu was seriously injured, it was determined that a top real person had sneaked into the interior.
So Pangsha himself, who happened to be nearby, arrived immediately and started investigating.
"Nearby cities, the nearest ones are thirteen towns in Haizhou and Xizhou. We can use both light and dark methods to investigate at the same time. The breath-sniffing monkeys should investigate openly, but they still have to use blood to lead secretly." Pangsha ordered.
"Yes." The monk nodded quickly.
"Okay, let's go down and finish the matter as soon as possible, so as not to be caught by the people in Yuelong."
The monk bowed finally, put his hands together, and his figure slowly faded and disappeared.
The carriage started to move again and drove slowly forward in the distance.
But before the wheel rolled very far, another black line flew in from the gap in the window and got in.
Pangsha stretched out her finger, and a small yellow bird only the size of an eyeball fell on her fingertips.
She took off the roll of paper from the bird's legs and glanced at it.
"Have you found the whereabouts of the two of them?"
The contents on the scroll indicate that one is heading to Wulian City in Xizhou and the other is heading to Ranxing in Zhongzhou.
Put away the paper roll.
Pang Sha gently patted the frame of the carriage.
The old horse slowly accelerated and trotted in the distance.
Now that she knew the approximate whereabouts and town, she should take action in time.
Zhongzhou just needs to notify the stationed grandmaster. Xizhou is within her jurisdiction, so she can go there and search for them personally.
For a real master who can defeat the level of Haizhu Bodhisattva in a short period of time, such importance cannot be overstated.
After all, the hidden strength of Haizhu Bodhisattva is already close to that of Buddha. Being able to defeat him easily means that the real person who escaped this time is at least a high-level Quanzhen.

The next day.
Wei He got up early in the morning, while Jiang Su and her daughter fell asleep on a wooden couch in the other corner of the wing.
The two women hugged each other, with tears still on their faces. They didn't know what they were dreaming about.
Without disturbing the two of them, Wei He took the relevant things and left the inn.
According to what the waiter said, he walked straight along the street and soon found the new central square of Wulian City Combination.
There are officers and soldiers patrolling everywhere in the square.
The recruitment points of the Soldiers and Horses Division are placed at the edges of the most conspicuous intersections.
There are eight intersections in the square, four of which have recruiting points.
And there were long queues at every point.
Several patrollers holding gongs were beating the gongs to maintain order and loudly publicizing various precautions.
"The fourth benefit of joining the military: Soldiers can be exempted from 50% of taxes, basic living supplies, and enjoy half the price."
"The fifth benefit of joining the military: After three years of joining the army, soldiers can enjoy various priority benefits for their families according to their military rank, and can receive a special shopping list for military families."
"The sixth benefit of joining the military: After three years of joining the army, soldiers can receive a free teaching place for one child, from the age of 14 to 14, and all education fees are free."
Each welfare benefit continued to spread to the surrounding people as the propaganda officers shouted.
Wei He's heart changed slightly.
This is simply to completely centralize the army. Otsuki's policy is obviously to make everyone proud to join the army.
In addition, now only the military and Buddhists can practice martial arts and tap true blood to become stronger.
In this way, the military strength of the entire Big Moon will definitely be greatly improved.
However, although true blood does not consume as much as true energy, it still consumes a lot of food and meat.
Can Da Yue bear such a large number of conscripts?
Wei He had doubts in his heart.
He did not rush to queue up at the recruitment point, but first pretended to be a crowd and watched the situation at one of the recruitment points.
"Next, Wei Xiaochang." The clerk at the recruitment point called out his name loudly.
It just so happened that this person was also named Wei, and Wei He's eyes also fell on him.
The man named Wei Xiaochang is a tall man with a big bamboo pole but thin muscles. He has a simple and honest smile on his face, and the clothes he wears are all patched. It is obvious that he comes from a poor family.
He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the wooden table at the recruitment office.
"I am Wei Xiaochang."
"Bring me the identity document, where did you work before?" the clerk ordered, and then began to ask carefully.
"This is my identity document. Sir, I used to work as a clerk in a car dealership, helping to move heavy goods, but I didn't have enough to eat every day, so I thought about joining the army. I heard that joining the army can help me to have enough food...
.”
Wei Xiaochang replied with a silly smile and patted his head.
"Don't worry, you'll have plenty of food and meat to eat!" the clerk said proudly. "How many people are there in the family? Where are your ancestral homes?"
"I am the only one in the family, and my ancestral home is Yunshan, Zhangzhou."
"Okay, go and check your physical fitness. Then take a blood test. If it passes, go back and wait for news. Don't worry, as long as your physical fitness is fine and the blood test is fine, you will definitely pass." The clerk comforted him with a good attitude.
"Thank you, sir!" Wei Xiaochang clasped his fists gratefully.
Wei He stood aside and watched the process of physical examination.
The process is very simple, just measure the height and weight, then check the bone age of the nails, and finally use a blood test needle to test the blood to determine whether there is any irregular blood.
Wei Xiaochang was found to have thin blood, so he happily took the gift and went home.
Yes, gifts will be given out at the recruitment point here. No matter if you succeed or not, you will receive a free gift in the end.
The gift included small bags of flour, dried meat, dried vegetables and fruits. It was very rich.
Wei He observed it and found that each person only had one chance to apply for the job once a year.
The inspection process is not very detailed. As long as it is confirmed that it is not Zhenjin and there are no obvious traces of foreigners in appearance, there will be no problem.
He observed carefully and found that the inspection of identity documents was not detailed. It seemed that the upper management of Otsuki did not care about this aspect. As long as they were not Zhenjin or enemy forces, they could pass the preliminary review.
Seeing this, he had an idea in his mind.
I found the end of the queue and walked straight up to queue.
The team doesn't move very fast. After all, everyone has to be tested one by one before moving on to the next one.
Because the waiting time was long, people in the queue could not help but chat with each other.
Not long after Wei He was at the end of the queue, there were several more people behind him.
In front of him was a burly girl with a ponytail, a Chinese character face, copper bell eyes, thick eyebrows and a big mouth, and a pair of extremely conspicuous ears.
She was talking to a girl further ahead.
"It's been so long. I've told you. If you don't listen, you have to come here and line up little by little. Just leave. Your relationship with your father is so good. Anyway, we don't cheat. We just check according to the rules. Xiao Rong, I said
Why are you so rigid-minded?"
"Rules are rules, and systems are systems. If everyone doesn't abide by them, then what's the point of enacting them?"
The girl in the front has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, fair skin and beautiful appearance, but has an extremely sharp temperament, tall and well-proportioned figure, and there are thick calluses on her hands. She has obviously practiced some kind of weapon-holding skills since she was a child.
"It's boring, not interesting at all. Just wait here and wait. It would be great to go back and eat meat during these hours...the barbecue is so delicious..." the burly girl said helplessly.
"It is precisely because we have different backgrounds that we should lead by example!" the sword-browed girl said solemnly.
"It happens every time. If your mother knew that you came to join the army with me, she might come and break your legs. Isn't it a joke that someone who is about to be engaged suddenly comes to join the army?"
"As long as my father supports me," the girl with sword eyebrows said coldly.
"But your father can't beat your mother." The burly girl muttered.
"I acted according to the rules and regulations, and I was right! Even if my mother comes and has the ability, let her go to the Generalissimo of the Military and Horse Division. He has set the system." The sword-browed girl said calmly.
"...Your rigid personality is exactly the same as your father. You are only fifteen years old...just like an old man who is several decades old..."
Wei He listened to the two talking from behind and found it interesting.
