"Sir, we need more manpower, the brothers are really overwhelmed."
In the city lord's palace, several young detectives who looked exhausted, as if their bodies had been hollowed out, cheered up and half-knelt to report to the city lord Ding Changhan.
In recent months, the number of homicides in Linzhou City has skyrocketed, and people come and go in Yizhuang and the coffin shop every day.
Especially in Yi Zhuang, where the corpses are placed, there are more living people than dead people. Almost every two or three hours, a group of people come in and out, throwing in some unclaimed mutilated corpses.
Most of these corpses have traces of being burned by fire, and many are even scorched and burnt, turning into a completely inhuman black mass.
"Didn't the police squad just recruit a new group of people? Why aren't there enough?" Ding Changhan frowned, obviously dissatisfied.
He recalled that more than a month ago, the head-catcher complained to him that there had been more homicides recently and that he needed to hire more people. When the county government posted a recruitment notice, more than six people signed up, many of them so-called
"The Immortal Cultivator".
It's a pity that the yamen just wanted to recruit a few more errand boys. I never expected that there would be so many people applying for the job. There were only a few masters who could find time to select people. How could they get over 600 yuan for the interview?
Multiple people.
The catchers are in a hurry to get people, and they don't have a strong head and six arms, so they can only use simple and crude methods to screen them several times.
First of all, ordinary people who don't know magic are screened out. The police don't have any force, so it's not easy to deal with gangsters who have learned magic.
But there are still too many people left.
Among the crowd, there were more than 400 immortal cultivators who knew magic. The policeman responsible for maintaining order was worried that if these guys got together to cause trouble, if each person had a fireball spell, the city lord's mansion would be burned down.
So they screened them again, and this time they only wanted those on the second level of Qi Refining. The first level of Qi Refining persuaded them to retreat, and in an instant there were only five people left.
Then these five people appeared in the police team.
The news was reported to Ding Changhan's desk, and even he was shocked. At any time, dignified immortal cultivators would come to compete for the position of the police officer...
"Many of the cases involve immortal cultivators, and their attacks are either light or heavy. After a few quarrels and a fireball spell being used, the person is gone.
These are murder cases, brothers cannot ignore them..."
The golden-haired rat whispered.
Immortal cultivators on the first and second levels of Qi Refining basically know the three spells, such as fireball and spiritual shield. If they don't react quickly and put on a shield, a fireball can take away the opponent.
Each one of them looks like an ancient man holding a blast pistol.
"A hero breaks the law with force..."
After hearing this, Ding Changhan's face turned darker.
Even if they are just young monks at the first level of Qi Refining, the fireball they release can burn a person to death. Three fireballs will kill three people if they all hit.
What was originally just a fight of fists and feet, once it escalated to the level of magic, it immediately turned into a matter of life and death.
The attack power of the young monks is still much stronger than the defense power.
Unless you reach the foundation building stage and have a body-protecting aura, having a heart can always be counted as having no heart.
"Recruit, recruit another group, approved. Anyway, those who die are unstable factors, die no matter who you are." Ding Changhan was in a bad mood. After replying to the head-catching golden-haired rat, he became angry.
The ground walked away.
"Why……"
Although the Golden Mouse got the order, he still couldn't be happy.
He took the time to participate in the training, and even after twenty years of sacrifice, he could barely reach the first level of Qi refinement. As a result, almost all the new recruits from the county government were at the second level of Qi refinement.
If you want to lead such a group of guys whose cultivation is higher than yourself, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to command.
Of course, he is also much better than those old detectives who were forced to retire early. The middle-aged and elderly detectives who could not sacrifice their lives with blood and practiced Yin Yang and Five Elements were basically persuaded to retire by the city lord's palace. The reason was for the safety of their lives.
The Yin Yang Five Elements cultivators who fission like viruses have accounted for one-tenth of the total population in Linzhou City in a short period of time. The police have to deal with them every day. It is indeed a bit dangerous if mortals are still used to maintain order.
It also loses the face of the city lord's palace.
Previously, he, the Golden Mouse, relied on his good kung fu to firmly occupy the position of the eldest brother in the police circle. His subordinates were very obedient, and the gang's offerings were delivered promptly. Everyone lived a happy and peaceful life.
But now, no matter how good he is at fighting, he is still a body of flesh and blood, and he will die just as easily if his face is burned by the fireball spell. Those are the flames condensed by mana, and they cannot be extinguished by just tapping them with ordinary flames.
People die every day, and it is not uncommon for any desperado to be shot dead on the spot if he encounters a desperado. Two police officers have been accidentally injured by passing fireballs during their daily duties...
"Why did my life become more miserable after I became stronger..." With this incomprehensible thought, the Golden-haired Rat left the City Lord's Mansion.
…
Zhao Mansion.
"Shui Jing, what do you think of the future?" Zhao Zilin carried a pot of green plum wine and walked into the guest room where Master Shui Jing lived. She didn't care about the separation between men and women.
"The world is in chaos, and this chaos will eventually spread to the real world of cultivation."
It has been some time since they entered the world of cultivation. With the help of Yu Lan and his wife, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Master Shui Jing and the others have a relatively clear understanding of the real world of cultivation in the Yuanyang world.
Before the proliferation of Yin Yang and Five Elements, the world of mortals and the world of monks had always been distinct.
Monks have almost no interest in the output of mortals. Except for a few guys who follow the devil's path and need to sacrifice the blood of mortals, most of the things monks need cannot be produced in the mortal world. The world of cultivation is almost a closed economic loop.
Therefore, as long as it is not a massive mass death of mortals, the monks at the top will not even take a glance at it.
The world of cultivation doesn't care about the changes of dynasties and the battles between heroes.
"So what can we do?"
"Exchange all the silver in your hands for spiritual stones." Master Shui Jing replied firmly.
"Every monk needs spiritual stones to practice. The demand for spiritual stones will only continue to increase rapidly, but there are countless spiritual stone mines.
Since the Yin Yang Five Elements Jue became popular, the price of spiritual stones has soared from eighty taels of silver per spirit to now one hundred and twenty taels of silver to buy a spiritual stone. In the future, it is not surprising that it will cost two hundred or even three hundred."
"Our Zhao family has been doing this..."
Zhao Zilin is also a smart businessman, or in other words, the foresighted, intelligent and powerful people in Linzhou City are all doing this secretly.
Trafficking spiritual stones from places where prices have not yet increased, and selling them at high prices to countless new monks in Linzhou City who are waiting for food...
