Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage
Chapter 255 254, My Brother Lang is also very greedy!
Chapter 255 254, My Brother Lang is also very greedy!
"Your Highness, even if Shen and Mu's law enforcement department is unanimously hostile by the upper echelons of the Eastern Empire, and even loathed by the emperor, it is almost impossible for you to recruit them."
The bearded clerk Memphis spread his hands and said:
"The people of Dongtu have a strong homeland complex, and the heroes of Dongtu have a strong sense of family and country. They will not leave their homeland easily unless they are desperate. Even if they really have to leave, Shen and Mu probably won't To the West, far from home.
"Don't forget, there is a kingdom established by the dragon king in Nanyang, and the people in the country are still dominated by the natives. They can take refuge in the dragon king, and maybe one day, they can fight back to their homeland."
The girl with short blond hair and wearing a golden crown smiled and said:
"No matter what, I have to try. At least, I can try to establish a good friendship with them first. In this way, when the demigod walking in the world leaves the world and they lose their support, they may think about me."
Memphis shook his head:
"Your Highness, although I can understand your eagerness to recruit more men, please forgive me, you'd better not have too much hope for the soldiers in the East."
The girl sighed softly:
"I know. However, I am in the kingdom, and I can't recruit many reliable people. They would rather rely on my elder brother who only gets drunk in brothels all day long, just because he is the first heir to the kingdom... ..."
Memphis reminded:
"Her Highness Hailes is not only the first in line heir to the kingdom, he is also the godson of the archbishop of the 'King of the North Wind' church. The church recognized his right of succession, and the archbishop promised to crown him personally. Not surprisingly, he is the future king."
The girl curled her lips in disdain:
"Will a king who obeys the Church of the 'King of the North Wind' and pleases him in every possible way, really be the gospel of the Kingdom? Let alone the aura of a king, even the pride of the red dragon is gone. Having said that, the Church What is needed may be his kind of incompetent people who only eat, drink and have fun, so that it will be convenient for the church to grab more power."
Memphis said helplessly:
"The Western Continent is the kingdom of the gods. Without the protection of the gods, it is difficult for the kingdom to survive. Although the Church of the King of the North Wind has become more and more secularly interfering in the kingdom, at least it has protected the kingdom from being annexed by the kingdoms of other gods. "
The girl snorted softly:
"Gods cannot directly interfere in the present world. Gods only need faith, not secular power. It is those church people who, in the name of gods, interfere with the world and seize power."
Memphis reminded:
"Your Highness, your remarks are very dangerous. Even if you are the second in line heir to the kingdom, if such remarks are leaked and the church finds out, the consequences may be disastrous.
"In addition, although the gods themselves do not interfere with the secular world, among the gods and goddesses who walk in the world, there are many existences who are interested in secular power. The contemporary son of the 'King of the North Wind' Church, His Highness Winter's Wrath, He has a strong desire for power.”
The girl blinked:
"So I will only talk about it in front of you when I am on an envoy to the East."
After a pause, she sighed softly and said with complaints:
"The king is supposed to rule the secular world. But I don't know when, when the kings of the Western Continent came to the throne, they had to be witnessed by the church of the gods and kneel in front of the bishop to be crowned. The church interfered.
"In this respect, I really envy the emperor of Dongtu. The gods of Dongtu never interfere in the human world, nor do they establish churches. The emperor of Dongtu only needs to bow down to his father, mother, and direct ancestors, and does not need to ask anyone unrelated People kneel. When succeeding to the throne, they only need to worship to the sky. Even the demigods in the world cannot make the emperor bow his knees.
"The reason why I want to recruit the heroes of the East is because the heroes of the East will not think that it is natural for the king to kneel down to the bishop, they will only think it is inappropriate, the king should not kneel to any secular people."
Memphis did not speak, but nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with the girl's remarks.
At this time, the carriage door was knocked suddenly, and someone said outside the door:
"Your Highness, the Kingdom's advance merchant group has received the latest news from the capital."
Before the missions arrived in Yingzhou by boat, the various kingdoms had already dispatched merchant groups to the capital of the empire to trade the Western rare treasures they brought and inquire about news by the way.
Of course, the races of Western countries are quite different from those of the Eastern Turks. In the core area of the imperial capital, the advance business group could not get any confidential information.
Some well-known public news can only be obtained through the court's public residence newspapers and market rumors.
But this is enough for missions from various countries.
Memphis got up and opened the compartment door, got a scroll sealed with wax paint, unfolded it while browsing, and said with a smile:
"The court of the Eastern Empire has not had any major issues recently. The three most important issues before the imperial court in the near future, one is that the Imperial Navy Minister proposed to strengthen the Nanyang Navy and expand the range of cruises, but it was rejected by the imperial meeting. The reason for the rejection was the current size of the Nanyang Navy , It is enough to maintain the normal maritime trade order of the empire, as well as the interests of the empire in Southeast Asia.
"The second important issue is to reduce the funds of the 'Shen Catch Hall' and shrink the scope of power of the 'Shen Catch Hall'. The Shen Catch Hall is the law enforcement department where Shen Hemu works, and similar issues occur several times a year, but In view of the influence of the eagle in the sky and the demigod on earth, every imperial meeting failed.
"The third important issue is that this year's spring floods have caused disasters in many places, and we request the treasury to allocate funds for disaster relief..."
Having said that, his smile suddenly retracted, and he looked up at the girl, with a look of surprise in his eyes:
"There is another piece of news about the human slaughterer... There are rumors that he beheaded a third-rank Dacheng warrior ten days ago in a one-man duel.
"That martial artist has an extraordinary background. He came from a centuries-old school with a long history and profound heritage. He has cultivated the top secret techniques. He has become famous for more than 30 years and has rich experience...
"But even such a third-rank warrior was actually killed in a duel by that young human butcher—a third-rank warrior in the Eastern Land corresponds to a seventh-rank Golden Knight in the Western Continent. A third-rank master corresponds to a high-rank knight. Golden Knight.
"Due to the different training systems, although the number of Dongtu's third-rank warriors is far less than that of the Golden Knights, their individual combat power is far stronger than that of the Golden Knights. Only the seventh-rank god sons can compete with third-rank fighters.
"That human butcher, at such a young age, was able to kill a seventh-level god child-level powerhouse... It's incredible!"
The girl's eyes lit up, and a touching smile bloomed on the corner of her lips:
", who can kill a seventh-level godson-level powerhouse... Such a person is extremely rare in the history of the Western Continent. Every time one appears, he will become the protagonist in epics and legends, and create countless great achievements. In the end, either lift up the throne and ascend to the sky, or be promoted by the gods to be a subordinate god.
"In the contemporary Western Continent, even those proud sons and daughters of gods, no one has ever been able to have such a dazzling record at the same age. At most, they can only kill ordinary high-level golden knights.
"That human butcher, if he didn't die halfway, he will definitely become an epic in the future! I'm more interested in him, and I must become friends with him!
"Mephis, I hope you can help me find out more information. I want to know all his preferences, what he likes to eat, what he likes to drink, where he usually goes for entertainment, what kind of social activities he likes, what kind of texture he likes, The color of silk fabrics, which color of gemstones I prefer... I need to know all this!
"I know this may be difficult, but you can dispose of the personal belongings I brought this time. No matter gems or gold, or even secret medicines and secret treasures, you can exchange them for news if necessary. I just want to Know everything about him!"
Memphis pressed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly:
"As you wish, Your Royal Highness."
……
On the first day of March, in the evening.
Bai Shishi rode a little donkey, Deer Deer came to Xingyefang, walked to the door of Shen Lang's house, got off the donkey, and knocked on the door.
She is so poor that she can't even afford a restaurant, and of course she can't afford a good horse, so she can only buy a small donkey to make do with it.
She has been saving even this little donkey for a long time.
Soon, the door opened with a creak, and a tall and thick skeleton soldier stood at the door, staring at Bai Shishi with his dark eye sockets.
Apart from being a little afraid of Xiaogu, the ordinary skeleton soldier Bai Shishi was not afraid, and said calmly:
"I'm Bai Shishi, I'm here to look for Shen Butou."
The Skeleton Daoist didn't respond, but soon as if he had received some kind of instruction, he turned sideways to open the door, and made a gesture to Bai Shishi to invite him in.
"Thank you."
Bai Shishi thanked her and led the little donkey into the gate.
She led the little donkey into the stable in the first courtyard and tied it up, and she went straight to the gate of the second courtyard.
As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Hongye sitting on the porch picking vegetables, the corners of Bai Shishi's eyes twitched slightly, and she walked over with heavy footsteps.
Gu Hongye looked up, seeing that it was Bai Shishi, she couldn't help being surprised and said:
"How did you come?"
"I still want to ask you."
Bai Shishi went straight to the front of the porch, with her arms around her chest, highlighting her chest that could crush Gu Hongye, and looked at her with resentment:
"It's only the first day of March, you are dressed so coquettishly, you intend to seduce the master, right?"
Well, Gu Hongye's clothes are indeed a bit cool.
The upper body is a small red tube top, with snowy shoulders and jade arms, delicate bones, and even the lower abdomen and navel are all exposed.
The bottoms were just a short skirt that a serious woman would only wear in the shower, and half of her white and tender thighs, which looked like round jade pillars, and her slender, straight calves were also exposed.
This kind of clothing is of course nothing in the world before Shen Lang traveled, but in this world, it seems too avant-garde.
Facing Bai Shishi's accusation, Gu Hongye frowned slightly, glanced at her intentionally protruding chest, and said lightly:
"I dressed like this, Shen Butou didn't say anything, but I liked it quite a bit. How come it's your turn to criticize? Besides, there is only one family in this area, and I'm inside the house, so I won't be seen by outsiders... ..."
Bai Shishi snorted softly:
"Unfortunately, I thought you were an upright person. I didn't expect you to take advantage of the absence of Mr. Mu and me! Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance!"
Gu Hongye brushed a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear, and said calmly:
"I am Master Mu's dowry maid, Master Mu is not at home, so it is only natural for me to serve the master in place of Master Mu?"
Very good, this reason is very strong, and Bai Shishi really couldn't refute it at the moment—in other words, she came to the door today with the same purpose, but she didn't expect Gu Hongye to be one step ahead of her.
Seeing how she is dressed like this, she must have been with Shen Lang...
At this thought, Bai Shishi's heart is full of resentment:
That's all for Mr. Mu, he knew Shen Lang before, and he is also Shen Lang's benefactor, but Gu Hongye and I were obviously the ones who came first!
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the emotions in his heart, he asked:
"Where's Captain Shen?"
Gu Hongye lowered her head and continued picking vegetables:
"I'm making alchemy. I'll ask him to come out after the meal is ready. You're here, so help me pick the vegetables first."
Although Bai Shishi was very rude when he came, but even though Gu Hongye hadn't taken the last step with Shen Lang, he had almost gotten to know each other. In front of Bai Shishi, the loser, Gu Hongye had a strong sense of superiority.
Besides, she and Bai Shishi shared a friendship in the same bed, so she was quite graceful.
Bai Shishi puffed her cheeks and felt sullen for a while, and finally she snorted angrily, lifted the hem of her clothes, and squatted down to help her pick the vegetables.
"Why did you come back to Beijing today?"
Gu Hongye asked while picking shallot leaves.
Bai Shishi sighed:
"When I went to the countryside to investigate a case of zombie cannibalism, I was trapped in a small mountain village with Xiao Xinyue, the fifth-rank arrester, for more than a month, and almost didn't come back alive."
Gu Hongye wondered:
"It's just a zombie. You two fifth-rank headhunters shouldn't have been trapped for so long, right? Xiao Xinyue, I also know headhunter Xiao. A pair of 'mother-child serial knives' is extremely exquisite. There was a time when one enemy was four. The experience of killing four thugs in the same realm with injuries in exchange for lives. You also have excellent martial arts, how could you be trapped by mere zombies for more than a month?"
The fifth-rank headhunters of Shenchuitang, with martial arts, experience and equipment, can fight two or three without pressure in the same realm, and can fight four or five in one fight, and can survive all injuries in exchange for the lives of everyone on the other side.
Individuals who are particularly capable of fighting at the fifth-rank headhunting, have a slight chance of winning when they cross the realm and single-handedly challenge the fourth-rank beginners.
The zombies in the world are basically low-level zombies such as jumping corpses and walking corpses.
Iron corpses that rival rank five, and copper corpses that are not inferior to rank four are extremely rare. As for the silver corpses that are not inferior to rank three, the golden corpses that are comparable to rank two, and even the legendary zombies that are equivalent to rank one Flying Yasha, even in the past In the last years of the dynasty, when the world was in chaos and demons were rampant, they were all rare species.
With the realm of Bai Shishi and Xiao Butou, if a rare zombie really appeared, it would not be their turn to investigate this case.
As for ordinary walking corpses, jumping corpses, and even iron corpses, two fifth-rank headhunters should have no difficulty in solving them.
Bai Shishi sighed:
"When I first went to investigate the case, there was only one zombie. But after investigation, the entire village, seventy or eighty people, men, women, old and young, were all turned into zombies."
Gu Hongye frowned and said:
"How do you do things? How can a zombie infect the whole village?"
Bai Shishi looked depressed:
"It's not that we are ineffective. When we first went, although there was only one zombie, in fact the whole village was infected with the corpse plague and has become a potential zombie."
Gu Hongye said in a deep voice:
"Is this artificial?"
Bai Shishi nodded:
"That's right, a wild cultivator, who learned the art of refining corpses from somewhere, used that small mountain village to practice his hands, and secretly prepared the plague poison, and lowered it in the well, infecting the whole village.
"When we went, the whole village was poisoned and there was no cure. But we didn't notice this at first. Until we killed the first zombie and we returned to the village to rest, the wild monk In the middle of the night, a latent corpse epidemic was triggered, turning the entire village into zombies, and surrounded us in the village chief's house where we stayed."
Gu Hongye said:
"But with your martial arts, even if the whole village has turned into zombies, seventy or eighty newly transformed zombies shouldn't be able to stop you, right?"
Bai Shi said:
"The wild cultivator is also capable of magic formations. He has secretly set up formations in the whole village. Once the formations are opened, we can't get out at all. Every time we think we have rushed out of the village, but walking, and returned to the village."
Gu Hongye said firmly:
"He didn't want to kill you, he wanted to trap you to death and turn you into zombies."
Bai Shishi nodded:
"That's true. He trapped us with phantom formations, drove zombies to consume our physical strength and skills, and forced us to eat the food in the village and drink the well water in the village. And all the food and well water in the village have been laid down by him. If we eat the fresh water in the village, we will also be infected with the corpse plague."
Gu Hongye wondered:
"Being trapped for more than a month, how did you survive?"
For two fifth-rank headhunters, of course it is impossible to have magic weapons for storage on their bodies.
There is no magic weapon for storage to carry the reserve water, and the continuous fierce battle will consume a lot of physical strength and skill, so it is necessary to replenish food and water on the spot, otherwise it will be impossible to persist.
Bai Shishi smiled, "There is no unparalleled road. On the third day of being trapped, the spring rain came..."
This year's spring floods have caused disasters in many places in Dachu. It can be seen that the spring rains are so much that they are somewhat excessive.
But this excessive spring rain saved the lives of Bai Shishi and that Xiao Xinyue captor.
The two rely on the rainwater that comes every day for drinking water. For food, they first eat the dry food they bring, and then catch the birds that fly low above the village.
The birds were afraid to come, and they used fresh bird carcasses to lure snakes—the corpse plague poison refined by the wild monk was only aimed at humans, and had no effect on flying birds or live snakes, so it could be eaten with confidence.
When all the nearby snakes were eaten up, the two continued to support themselves with the medicinal pills they cultivated.
After staying like this for more than a month, under tremendous pressure, Bai Shishi successfully condensed the seeds of true energy, and entered the fourth rank!
To deal with the two fifth-rank warriors, the wild monk needs to use phantom arrays and zombies to consume them, trying to force them to go hungry and eat food infected with the epidemic poison. Product catcher.
Therefore, as soon as Bai Shishi entered the fourth rank, the situation immediately reversed.
Relying on the qi seed's induction of the heaven and earth's inspiration, she found the eye of the crude phantom formation, defeated it, broke the phantom formation, and forced out the real body of the wild monk.
After a tough battle, Bai Shishi teamed up with the fifth-rank headhunter, and after exhausting the few spells that the wild monk had, Bai Shishi used the heavy pistol that Shen Lang gave her to blast the wild monk's dog's head with one shot. .
After listening to the experience Bai Shishi narrated, Gu Hongye sighed:
"Your trip is really a matter of life and death! If you don't break through and break the phantom array, then after you eat up the pills, if you don't want to become ignorant zombies enslaved by others, you will have to starve death, or self-destruction."
Bai Shishi smiled:
"In a desperate situation, it's better to give it a go than to sit and wait for death. I have already discussed with Catcher Xiao. If I fail to attack the fourth rank, she will continue to attack. If we both fail, then we will kill ourselves quickly.
"We have even prepared oil and firewood. We plan to set ourselves on fire if we fail. Anyway, we can't even leave the dead body to that wild monk, lest he be turned into a zombie and drive him to harm people."
"You really..."
Gu Hongye shook his head and sighed twice, not knowing how to evaluate it.
Say they are ruthless enough, but not ruthless really can't do.
If you commit suicide in a normal way, such as cutting your own throat or something, and leave a complete body, you will also be turned into a zombie.
Even if they cut each other's hands, feet, and heads, it would still work if they sewed them together.
The desecration of the dead body is a second.
The key is the corpses of two fifth-rank warriors. Even if they have no internal energy after death, they have gone through the training of third-rank training such as refining strength, refining muscles and bones, and refining viscera, and their bodies have been tempered by internal energy. Once they become zombies, they are still quite powerful. Yes, it will kill a lot of people.
In order not to be a minion, I really can only set myself on fire, burn myself as scorched and weak as possible, and it is best to burn directly to ashes...
Having said that, it was quite a thrilling experience.
Bai Shishi seemed to ask Gu Hongye casually:
"After Xiao Butou and I came back, I heard that you followed Shen Butou to the Starfall Gate, did you torment the Starfall Gate enough?"
Gu Hongye nodded:
"Yeah. Chief Shen seized the evidence that the elders of the Star Perishing Sect worshiped the Demon Buddha, and even took the iron evidence of the sacrifice of living people. He mutilated and arrested Duguxue, the elder who passed on the practice, and beheaded Dugu Wei, the great elder of the Star Perishing Sect. Afterwards, they forced Yao Sheng, the head of the Star Perishing Sect, to personally arrest three elders who had attained a fourth rank."
Seeing Bai Shishi's calm expression, she specially emphasized:
"Duguxue is an entry-level third-rank, and Dugu Wei has a mastery of third-rank! When we escorted the criminal back to the capital, Shen Butou only sent summoned Taoist soldiers and monsters, and killed a master of the imperial guard who was a third-rank master. He Xianfei, the law-enforcing elder of the Dexing Perishing Sect, who was in the early stage of the third rank, knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Of course, the record of beheading the master of the Forbidden Army cannot be publicized. The master of the Forbidden Army named Hu Dali was announced by Bai Huchan two days ago as a failure to attack the second rank, and he exploded to death.
"Nine deaths in a second-rank attack. It's normal for nine to die and one alive. Before Master Mu attacked the second rank, even if Master Yan was there to protect the law, he had to arrange the funeral first, and then waited for Shen Butou to come back and exchanged heartfelt feelings with him. , and then let it go.
"Thus, even if Hu Dali really died after attacking the second rank, but with the record of capturing Duguxue and beheading Duguwei, Shen Butou will really become famous this time!"
"Oh."
Bai Shishi let out a faint oh, and quickly peeled the garlic with her slender and flexible fingers.
Gu Hongye said in surprise:
"My master has played such an amazing record and is about to become famous all over the world. Are you not surprised and excited at all?"
Bai Shishi raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Hongye:
"When Shen Butou was only at the sixth rank, he beat me half to death with three palms. At that time, I was already a fifth rank master, and I had the secret technique bestowed by the spider mother. Afterwards, he single-handedly wiped out all the spider sisters. , including both the middle stage of the fourth grade and the early stage of the fourth grade.
"I watched Shen Baotou and the spider sisters all the time. I know how powerful he is. I have known for a long time that he will be famous all over the world, and I firmly believe that one day he will be able to kill the third rank, the second rank and even the first rank. Therefore, I Why should you be surprised?"
"..."
Gu Hongye was speechless for a while, and suddenly felt that she had nothing to be superior to Bai Shishi.
At this time, Bai Shishi said quietly again:
"How far have you and Shen Butou progressed?"
Gu Hongye's sense of superiority returned, her chin slightly raised, and she blinked her eyelids:
"you guess?"
When Bai Shishi saw her expression, she immediately sneered:
"It's not the last step yet, what are you proud of?"
Gu Hongye was stunned:
"How do you know you haven't reached the last step?"
Bai Shishi smiled and said:
"With your proud temperament, if you reached the last step, you would have already shown it off to me, how could you still be so mysterious?"
Gu Hongye raised her eyebrows:
"I'm not as proud as I used to be! By the way, how did you become smart all of a sudden?"
Bai Shishi rolled her eyes angrily:
"I've always been smart, okay?"
Gu Hongye smiled secretly: However, almost everyone who knows you says that you don't look very smart...
Bai Shishi curiously asked:
"Well, how did you serve Captain Shen?"
Gu Hongye also rolled her eyes angrily:
"How can you say such private words? You shouldn't even ask."
Bai Shishi has such a thick skin, she smiled and said:
"We are good sisters who are married to Mr. Mu together, accompanied Mr. Mu and Shen Butou to pay homage together, and shared a small bed in the common room. Let's share our experience of serving the master!"
Gu Hongye squinted at her:
"Hey, you are a good sister now? You woman, you can turn your face faster than a book. When you first entered the yard, you said that I was dressed flirtatiously, and blamed me for sneaking in. You looked like a teacher asking for a crime." Woolen cloth."
Bai Shishi has a cheeky face with a sincere look:
"I'm sorry, my good sister. I almost died outside this time. After the catastrophe, the rest of my life, with all the ups and downs, will inevitably feel a little unstable..."
Gu Hongye twitched the corner of her mouth:
"Who is your younger sister? I am older than you, I have a higher level of cultivation than you, and I serve the master before you. Even as a dowry maid, I am one step ahead of you, and I have obtained Master Mu's consent."
Bai Shishi changed her words without any pressure:
"Good sister! Can't I call you sister?"
This cheek!
She is indeed a woman who has been a villain!
Gu Hongye shook his head helplessly, and said again:
"I'm not as thick-skinned as you... There are some things that can only be done, but not said. In this way, when you take a bath for the master at night, you will be with me and watch what I do, and you will follow suit."
Bai Shishi really didn't expect that Gu Hongye's mind is so small, but her heart is so open, she was really grateful, and she grabbed Gu Hongye's hand:
"Good sister! Thank you!"
In a blink of an eye it was dinner time.
With a satisfied smile on his face, Shen Lang came out of the alchemy room with a small gourd in his hand. Seeing that Bai Shishi was there, he immediately smiled and said:
"Shishi is back? Hey, have you entered the fourth rank?"
Bai Shishi deliberately showed the aura of the fourth rank, let Shen Lang know her own cultivation, and then saluted him:
"Shishi can be what it is today, thanks to Shen Toutou's cultivation."
Shen Lang knew that she was talking about the two thousand-year-old ichthyosaurs, so he waved his hands with a smile:
"No outsiders can help you to condense the true energy seeds, you can only rely on yourself. You can advance to the fourth rank because of your own chance."
Talking, sat down at the dinner table, and waited for him to take a seat, Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi sat down one after another.
While feeding Shen Lang more food, Gu Hongye said:
"Shi Shi Jin Sipin is not only a chance, but also experienced a lot of life and death honing."
After talking about Bai Shishi and Xiao Tutou's adventures in the mountain village, Shen Lang felt emotional:
"Looking for opportunities between life and death... You, the seed of true qi, really did not come easily."
And solemnly asked:
"The wild monk's method of creating the epidemic poison, can it be seized and destroyed?"
Such vicious methods must be completely destroyed.If it gets out, how many innocent people will be killed.
Bai Shishi nodded:
"We found his lair, first destroyed all the methods of making and refining poison, copied a copy of the method of detoxification, and then burned his lair to completely eradicate this scourge.
"With the method of detoxification, if there are similar incidents in the future, the victims can be rescued in time. Unfortunately, even if there is a method of detoxification, it can only save those who have not been deeply poisoned. The poison is dying, and there is still no cure. "
Shen Lang said:
"So we still have to try our best to prevent similar incidents in advance."
Bai Shishi smiled wryly:
"It's too difficult to completely eradicate. Many sorcery and magic skills, even if their inheritance is completely destroyed, will reappear inexplicably after a while. When I came back this time, I asked Master Yan about this kind of sorcery and magic skills. Why is it repeated repeatedly?
"Master Yan said that on the surface, the abyss of stars is not eliminated, and the tribulation is endless. But in fact, the greed and evil of the human heart will never end. Even if there are no demons in the abyss of the abyss to lure mortals in various ways and spread sorcery and magic power, there will always be There are evil people, in order to realize their own desires, they create all kinds of sorcery and magic skills.
"Therefore, it is almost impossible to completely ban evil magic arts. What we can do is to limit their spread as much as possible, eliminate their influence, nip them in the bud as much as possible, and help and treat victims as much as possible."
Shen Lang nodded slightly:
"Master Yan's words are really insightful."
Bai Shishi smiled and said:
"This time Xiao Butou and I narrowly escaped death. Master Yan sympathized with us and gave us a ten-day vacation. After the vacation is over, we don't have to go out of Beijing to handle the case. Let us stay in Beijing until the end of the tribute ceremony. order."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"That's not bad."
Bai Shishi flashed her long eyelashes and looked at Shen Lang:
"But I don't have a place to live in Beijing, and I don't want to stay in the yamen when I'm on vacation...Shen Botou, like Sister Hongye, I'm also a dowry maid who accompanies Master Mu to pay homage to you. It should be a matter of course to live in your house, right?"
This reason is very strong, and Shen Lang is not easy to refuse, after all, he has already competed with Gu Hongye in serious martial arts, so how can he refuse Bai Shishi?
At the moment, I can only nod and agree:
"Well, you can stay at my house when you are on vacation in the future."
Bai Shishi hurriedly thanked Shen Lang diligently, and graciously picked some chopsticks for Shen Lang.
The three of them were chatting while eating, and Bai Shishi knew that Gu Hongye had actually finished her vacation long ago and had already resumed work.
However, before the end of the tribute ceremony, Gu Hongye didn't have to go out of Beijing to do business, he could handle the case near the capital, and stay in Beijing to maintain law and order during the ceremony.
Today, Gu Hongye went to the yamen to order Mao early in the morning, and then went to the West Market to patrol for most of the day.
Xishi is one of the two major bazaars in the capital. It not only gathers Dongtu department stores, but also foreign merchants from various vassal states and even the Western Regions, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Western countries. They sell rare goods from various countries, and even operate exotic taverns and brothels. .
Foreign merchants from all over the world also set up guild halls in Xishi, which also functioned as embassies.
Like this time, the Western countries took advantage of the five-year tribute ceremony and sent missions to join in the fun, but the Western countries are not affiliated with the Great Chu, this time is a serious state visit, and talk about trade and do business by the way.
Since you are not a vassal, you must first submit your credentials to make your intentions clear when you come to visit.
Therefore, Western countries opened commercial halls in Xishi, and they could do things.
After receiving the remote summons, the missions of the previous generations reported to the Ministry of Rites of the Great Chu to discuss the route of the mission, escort matters along the way, and determine the time, specifications, and purpose of the mission's visit.
The advance caravans sent by the Western countries' missions are of course not eligible to live in state-run guest houses such as the Courtyard under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. They can only live in the guild halls of various countries to do business and inquire about news.
The western countries and Great Chu are separated by thousands of miles of sea and territory, and the advance caravans have already arrived in the capital. Those vassal states that are closer to the Great Chu, as well as the Western Regions, Nanyang, and Eastern countries, of course, have already sent advance teams.
With so many foreigners pouring into the West Market at once, the law and order situation will naturally become severe.
In other words, there are no fewer evil gods and demons in Xiyang than in Dachu.
Even because there is no unified empire in the West, but many countries, and the aristocratic enfeoffment system, the lords who are still making lords are not my lords, and the king is just the biggest noble. There is a lot of living space for evil gods and demons.
Some nobles even secretly believe in evil gods and evil spirits with their families—the evil gods and evil spirits are more "generous" than righteous gods, and it doesn't matter whether you are religious or not, as long as you worship in place, you will almost respond to your requests.
Unlike righteous gods, because there are too many believers, there is a requirement for the piety of believers, and even pious believers, it is basically impossible to get a response from the gods.
In this context, even the envoys will inevitably be mixed with believers of evil gods and demons.
Some wanted to sneak into the east to preach and expand the influence of the Lord they served, and some were lurking in the envoys, attempting to sabotage, even assassinate the envoys, and stir up disputes between the two countries.
The envoys of various countries have already caught several such demon believers along the way.
Among the advance caravans that arrived at the capital first, a few demon believers also appeared, causing some troubles.
The missions of various countries have already caused a lot of trouble.
On Dachu's side, there are many "heroes of the rivers and lakes", greedy for the exotic treasures brought by the mission, and even those exotic beauties, they also came to the capital one after another, trying to show their skills and make a fortune.
There are also many martial arts rookies, knowing that this year there will be a mission from the Mobei barbarians coming to the capital. According to the usual practice, they will challenge the big Chu rookies, so they also followed the teacher to the capital to join in the fun.I heard that many strange-looking foreigners came to the West Market, and those martial arts rookies and veterans who came to Beijing from other places also went to the West Market to broaden their horizons.
Once there are too many and complicated people, it is easy to cause trouble.
Not to mention that most of the people who have come to the capital recently, whether they are foreigners or locals, have so many skills, the troubles will be more and more troublesome.
In short, the West City of the capital has been a mess these days, with jealousy, fights, street vendettas, thieves robbing, thieves picking flowers and other vicious cases happening every day.
During the tribute ceremony, it was customary for the Imperial Army and the Jingzhao Mansion to jointly maintain law and order.But in the face of such a complicated situation, Shenchaotang also had to send elite soldiers and generals to help maintain law and order.
When Gu Hongye went to patrol the West Market today, he encountered several fights.
Some of them were fights between the advance caravans sent by the two western countries-the western countries were not monolithic, they were constantly at odds with each other, all kinds of alliances, alliances and alliances.Throughout the Western Continent, in the past hundred years, wars of all sizes have occurred almost every year.
Therefore, Western countries have some conflicts with each other, and some even have feuds for decades or hundreds of years.
When people from two countries with blood feuds and world feuds meet, even in a foreign country, it is inevitable that they will sneer at each other, and once the talk is started, it will often develop into a fight in the end.It's not uncommon to kill people.
Gu Hongye stopped two duels between the guards of the Western caravan today, and did not let them die.
In addition, she also caught two burglars who were setting foot outside a certain western congress hall, and also caught a flower picker who dared to come out to commit crimes in broad daylight.
Miss Hongye's patrol experience today is so rich that even Shen Lang is a little moved by hearing it. If she is free, she will also go to the West Market to open her eyes.
After chatting and eating, Shen Lang took out the little gourd again, poured out more than twenty pills inside, and distributed them equally among Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi:
"This is the elixir I made, ranging from seventh-rank to fifth-rank. Although you are all at fourth-rank cultivation, these elixirs are still useful to you. Take it and eat it."
The seventh-grade "Five Qi Pill" that can strengthen the viscera is useful to Shen Lang, and of course it is also useful to Bai Shishi and Gu Hongye.
The sixth-rank "Main Quenching Pill" and the fifth-rank "Condensing Yuan Pill" can both strengthen the meridians and temper internal strength-fourth-rank warriors, until the fourth-rank masters, they can directly refine true qi.
Before the completion of the fourth rank, the daily cultivation of the fourth rank martial artist must first refine the internal force, and then absorb the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth from the true energy seeds and the true energy vortex, fuse with the internal force, and refine the true energy.
Therefore, the spirit pills of the sixth and fifth ranks are also useful for Bai Shishi, who is entering the fourth rank, and Gu Hongye, who is in the middle of the fourth rank.
The two took the pill and thanked them with a smile.
Gu Hongye threw a Wuqi Pill into his mouth, held it on his cheeks like eating jelly beans, and asked curiously:
"You have only been learning alchemy for more than ten days, right? You can actually make a fifth-grade elixir. When will you be able to make a fourth-grade elixir?"
"Soon." Shen Lang said with a smile: "In just these two days of hard work, you should be able to successfully refine a fourth-grade 'Quenching True Pill', which has the effect of tempering true energy seeds and true energy vortexes, up to fourth-grade Great Chengdu is of great use.”
After chatting for a few more words, Shen Lang went to meditate by himself, while Gu Hongye said:
"Shishi washes the dishes, I'm going to boil the water, and I'm going to serve the master to take a bath."
As she spoke, she gave Bai Shishi a wink, Bai Shishi understood, and quickly packed the dishes with full of expectation.
[Seek a monthly pass~! 】
(End of this chapter)
"Your Highness, even if Shen and Mu's law enforcement department is unanimously hostile by the upper echelons of the Eastern Empire, and even loathed by the emperor, it is almost impossible for you to recruit them."
The bearded clerk Memphis spread his hands and said:
"The people of Dongtu have a strong homeland complex, and the heroes of Dongtu have a strong sense of family and country. They will not leave their homeland easily unless they are desperate. Even if they really have to leave, Shen and Mu probably won't To the West, far from home.
"Don't forget, there is a kingdom established by the dragon king in Nanyang, and the people in the country are still dominated by the natives. They can take refuge in the dragon king, and maybe one day, they can fight back to their homeland."
The girl with short blond hair and wearing a golden crown smiled and said:
"No matter what, I have to try. At least, I can try to establish a good friendship with them first. In this way, when the demigod walking in the world leaves the world and they lose their support, they may think about me."
Memphis shook his head:
"Your Highness, although I can understand your eagerness to recruit more men, please forgive me, you'd better not have too much hope for the soldiers in the East."
The girl sighed softly:
"I know. However, I am in the kingdom, and I can't recruit many reliable people. They would rather rely on my elder brother who only gets drunk in brothels all day long, just because he is the first heir to the kingdom... ..."
Memphis reminded:
"Her Highness Hailes is not only the first in line heir to the kingdom, he is also the godson of the archbishop of the 'King of the North Wind' church. The church recognized his right of succession, and the archbishop promised to crown him personally. Not surprisingly, he is the future king."
The girl curled her lips in disdain:
"Will a king who obeys the Church of the 'King of the North Wind' and pleases him in every possible way, really be the gospel of the Kingdom? Let alone the aura of a king, even the pride of the red dragon is gone. Having said that, the Church What is needed may be his kind of incompetent people who only eat, drink and have fun, so that it will be convenient for the church to grab more power."
Memphis said helplessly:
"The Western Continent is the kingdom of the gods. Without the protection of the gods, it is difficult for the kingdom to survive. Although the Church of the King of the North Wind has become more and more secularly interfering in the kingdom, at least it has protected the kingdom from being annexed by the kingdoms of other gods. "
The girl snorted softly:
"Gods cannot directly interfere in the present world. Gods only need faith, not secular power. It is those church people who, in the name of gods, interfere with the world and seize power."
Memphis reminded:
"Your Highness, your remarks are very dangerous. Even if you are the second in line heir to the kingdom, if such remarks are leaked and the church finds out, the consequences may be disastrous.
"In addition, although the gods themselves do not interfere with the secular world, among the gods and goddesses who walk in the world, there are many existences who are interested in secular power. The contemporary son of the 'King of the North Wind' Church, His Highness Winter's Wrath, He has a strong desire for power.”
The girl blinked:
"So I will only talk about it in front of you when I am on an envoy to the East."
After a pause, she sighed softly and said with complaints:
"The king is supposed to rule the secular world. But I don't know when, when the kings of the Western Continent came to the throne, they had to be witnessed by the church of the gods and kneel in front of the bishop to be crowned. The church interfered.
"In this respect, I really envy the emperor of Dongtu. The gods of Dongtu never interfere in the human world, nor do they establish churches. The emperor of Dongtu only needs to bow down to his father, mother, and direct ancestors, and does not need to ask anyone unrelated People kneel. When succeeding to the throne, they only need to worship to the sky. Even the demigods in the world cannot make the emperor bow his knees.
"The reason why I want to recruit the heroes of the East is because the heroes of the East will not think that it is natural for the king to kneel down to the bishop, they will only think it is inappropriate, the king should not kneel to any secular people."
Memphis did not speak, but nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with the girl's remarks.
At this time, the carriage door was knocked suddenly, and someone said outside the door:
"Your Highness, the Kingdom's advance merchant group has received the latest news from the capital."
Before the missions arrived in Yingzhou by boat, the various kingdoms had already dispatched merchant groups to the capital of the empire to trade the Western rare treasures they brought and inquire about news by the way.
Of course, the races of Western countries are quite different from those of the Eastern Turks. In the core area of the imperial capital, the advance business group could not get any confidential information.
Some well-known public news can only be obtained through the court's public residence newspapers and market rumors.
But this is enough for missions from various countries.
Memphis got up and opened the compartment door, got a scroll sealed with wax paint, unfolded it while browsing, and said with a smile:
"The court of the Eastern Empire has not had any major issues recently. The three most important issues before the imperial court in the near future, one is that the Imperial Navy Minister proposed to strengthen the Nanyang Navy and expand the range of cruises, but it was rejected by the imperial meeting. The reason for the rejection was the current size of the Nanyang Navy , It is enough to maintain the normal maritime trade order of the empire, as well as the interests of the empire in Southeast Asia.
"The second important issue is to reduce the funds of the 'Shen Catch Hall' and shrink the scope of power of the 'Shen Catch Hall'. The Shen Catch Hall is the law enforcement department where Shen Hemu works, and similar issues occur several times a year, but In view of the influence of the eagle in the sky and the demigod on earth, every imperial meeting failed.
"The third important issue is that this year's spring floods have caused disasters in many places, and we request the treasury to allocate funds for disaster relief..."
Having said that, his smile suddenly retracted, and he looked up at the girl, with a look of surprise in his eyes:
"There is another piece of news about the human slaughterer... There are rumors that he beheaded a third-rank Dacheng warrior ten days ago in a one-man duel.
"That martial artist has an extraordinary background. He came from a centuries-old school with a long history and profound heritage. He has cultivated the top secret techniques. He has become famous for more than 30 years and has rich experience...
"But even such a third-rank warrior was actually killed in a duel by that young human butcher—a third-rank warrior in the Eastern Land corresponds to a seventh-rank Golden Knight in the Western Continent. A third-rank master corresponds to a high-rank knight. Golden Knight.
"Due to the different training systems, although the number of Dongtu's third-rank warriors is far less than that of the Golden Knights, their individual combat power is far stronger than that of the Golden Knights. Only the seventh-rank god sons can compete with third-rank fighters.
"That human butcher, at such a young age, was able to kill a seventh-level god child-level powerhouse... It's incredible!"
The girl's eyes lit up, and a touching smile bloomed on the corner of her lips:
", who can kill a seventh-level godson-level powerhouse... Such a person is extremely rare in the history of the Western Continent. Every time one appears, he will become the protagonist in epics and legends, and create countless great achievements. In the end, either lift up the throne and ascend to the sky, or be promoted by the gods to be a subordinate god.
"In the contemporary Western Continent, even those proud sons and daughters of gods, no one has ever been able to have such a dazzling record at the same age. At most, they can only kill ordinary high-level golden knights.
"That human butcher, if he didn't die halfway, he will definitely become an epic in the future! I'm more interested in him, and I must become friends with him!
"Mephis, I hope you can help me find out more information. I want to know all his preferences, what he likes to eat, what he likes to drink, where he usually goes for entertainment, what kind of social activities he likes, what kind of texture he likes, The color of silk fabrics, which color of gemstones I prefer... I need to know all this!
"I know this may be difficult, but you can dispose of the personal belongings I brought this time. No matter gems or gold, or even secret medicines and secret treasures, you can exchange them for news if necessary. I just want to Know everything about him!"
Memphis pressed his hand on his chest and bowed slightly:
"As you wish, Your Royal Highness."
……
On the first day of March, in the evening.
Bai Shishi rode a little donkey, Deer Deer came to Xingyefang, walked to the door of Shen Lang's house, got off the donkey, and knocked on the door.
She is so poor that she can't even afford a restaurant, and of course she can't afford a good horse, so she can only buy a small donkey to make do with it.
She has been saving even this little donkey for a long time.
Soon, the door opened with a creak, and a tall and thick skeleton soldier stood at the door, staring at Bai Shishi with his dark eye sockets.
Apart from being a little afraid of Xiaogu, the ordinary skeleton soldier Bai Shishi was not afraid, and said calmly:
"I'm Bai Shishi, I'm here to look for Shen Butou."
The Skeleton Daoist didn't respond, but soon as if he had received some kind of instruction, he turned sideways to open the door, and made a gesture to Bai Shishi to invite him in.
"Thank you."
Bai Shishi thanked her and led the little donkey into the gate.
She led the little donkey into the stable in the first courtyard and tied it up, and she went straight to the gate of the second courtyard.
As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Hongye sitting on the porch picking vegetables, the corners of Bai Shishi's eyes twitched slightly, and she walked over with heavy footsteps.
Gu Hongye looked up, seeing that it was Bai Shishi, she couldn't help being surprised and said:
"How did you come?"
"I still want to ask you."
Bai Shishi went straight to the front of the porch, with her arms around her chest, highlighting her chest that could crush Gu Hongye, and looked at her with resentment:
"It's only the first day of March, you are dressed so coquettishly, you intend to seduce the master, right?"
Well, Gu Hongye's clothes are indeed a bit cool.
The upper body is a small red tube top, with snowy shoulders and jade arms, delicate bones, and even the lower abdomen and navel are all exposed.
The bottoms were just a short skirt that a serious woman would only wear in the shower, and half of her white and tender thighs, which looked like round jade pillars, and her slender, straight calves were also exposed.
This kind of clothing is of course nothing in the world before Shen Lang traveled, but in this world, it seems too avant-garde.
Facing Bai Shishi's accusation, Gu Hongye frowned slightly, glanced at her intentionally protruding chest, and said lightly:
"I dressed like this, Shen Butou didn't say anything, but I liked it quite a bit. How come it's your turn to criticize? Besides, there is only one family in this area, and I'm inside the house, so I won't be seen by outsiders... ..."
Bai Shishi snorted softly:
"Unfortunately, I thought you were an upright person. I didn't expect you to take advantage of the absence of Mr. Mu and me! Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance!"
Gu Hongye brushed a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear, and said calmly:
"I am Master Mu's dowry maid, Master Mu is not at home, so it is only natural for me to serve the master in place of Master Mu?"
Very good, this reason is very strong, and Bai Shishi really couldn't refute it at the moment—in other words, she came to the door today with the same purpose, but she didn't expect Gu Hongye to be one step ahead of her.
Seeing how she is dressed like this, she must have been with Shen Lang...
At this thought, Bai Shishi's heart is full of resentment:
That's all for Mr. Mu, he knew Shen Lang before, and he is also Shen Lang's benefactor, but Gu Hongye and I were obviously the ones who came first!
Taking a deep breath, suppressing the emotions in his heart, he asked:
"Where's Captain Shen?"
Gu Hongye lowered her head and continued picking vegetables:
"I'm making alchemy. I'll ask him to come out after the meal is ready. You're here, so help me pick the vegetables first."
Although Bai Shishi was very rude when he came, but even though Gu Hongye hadn't taken the last step with Shen Lang, he had almost gotten to know each other. In front of Bai Shishi, the loser, Gu Hongye had a strong sense of superiority.
Besides, she and Bai Shishi shared a friendship in the same bed, so she was quite graceful.
Bai Shishi puffed her cheeks and felt sullen for a while, and finally she snorted angrily, lifted the hem of her clothes, and squatted down to help her pick the vegetables.
"Why did you come back to Beijing today?"
Gu Hongye asked while picking shallot leaves.
Bai Shishi sighed:
"When I went to the countryside to investigate a case of zombie cannibalism, I was trapped in a small mountain village with Xiao Xinyue, the fifth-rank arrester, for more than a month, and almost didn't come back alive."
Gu Hongye wondered:
"It's just a zombie. You two fifth-rank headhunters shouldn't have been trapped for so long, right? Xiao Xinyue, I also know headhunter Xiao. A pair of 'mother-child serial knives' is extremely exquisite. There was a time when one enemy was four. The experience of killing four thugs in the same realm with injuries in exchange for lives. You also have excellent martial arts, how could you be trapped by mere zombies for more than a month?"
The fifth-rank headhunters of Shenchuitang, with martial arts, experience and equipment, can fight two or three without pressure in the same realm, and can fight four or five in one fight, and can survive all injuries in exchange for the lives of everyone on the other side.
Individuals who are particularly capable of fighting at the fifth-rank headhunting, have a slight chance of winning when they cross the realm and single-handedly challenge the fourth-rank beginners.
The zombies in the world are basically low-level zombies such as jumping corpses and walking corpses.
Iron corpses that rival rank five, and copper corpses that are not inferior to rank four are extremely rare. As for the silver corpses that are not inferior to rank three, the golden corpses that are comparable to rank two, and even the legendary zombies that are equivalent to rank one Flying Yasha, even in the past In the last years of the dynasty, when the world was in chaos and demons were rampant, they were all rare species.
With the realm of Bai Shishi and Xiao Butou, if a rare zombie really appeared, it would not be their turn to investigate this case.
As for ordinary walking corpses, jumping corpses, and even iron corpses, two fifth-rank headhunters should have no difficulty in solving them.
Bai Shishi sighed:
"When I first went to investigate the case, there was only one zombie. But after investigation, the entire village, seventy or eighty people, men, women, old and young, were all turned into zombies."
Gu Hongye frowned and said:
"How do you do things? How can a zombie infect the whole village?"
Bai Shishi looked depressed:
"It's not that we are ineffective. When we first went, although there was only one zombie, in fact the whole village was infected with the corpse plague and has become a potential zombie."
Gu Hongye said in a deep voice:
"Is this artificial?"
Bai Shishi nodded:
"That's right, a wild cultivator, who learned the art of refining corpses from somewhere, used that small mountain village to practice his hands, and secretly prepared the plague poison, and lowered it in the well, infecting the whole village.
"When we went, the whole village was poisoned and there was no cure. But we didn't notice this at first. Until we killed the first zombie and we returned to the village to rest, the wild monk In the middle of the night, a latent corpse epidemic was triggered, turning the entire village into zombies, and surrounded us in the village chief's house where we stayed."
Gu Hongye said:
"But with your martial arts, even if the whole village has turned into zombies, seventy or eighty newly transformed zombies shouldn't be able to stop you, right?"
Bai Shi said:
"The wild cultivator is also capable of magic formations. He has secretly set up formations in the whole village. Once the formations are opened, we can't get out at all. Every time we think we have rushed out of the village, but walking, and returned to the village."
Gu Hongye said firmly:
"He didn't want to kill you, he wanted to trap you to death and turn you into zombies."
Bai Shishi nodded:
"That's true. He trapped us with phantom formations, drove zombies to consume our physical strength and skills, and forced us to eat the food in the village and drink the well water in the village. And all the food and well water in the village have been laid down by him. If we eat the fresh water in the village, we will also be infected with the corpse plague."
Gu Hongye wondered:
"Being trapped for more than a month, how did you survive?"
For two fifth-rank headhunters, of course it is impossible to have magic weapons for storage on their bodies.
There is no magic weapon for storage to carry the reserve water, and the continuous fierce battle will consume a lot of physical strength and skill, so it is necessary to replenish food and water on the spot, otherwise it will be impossible to persist.
Bai Shishi smiled, "There is no unparalleled road. On the third day of being trapped, the spring rain came..."
This year's spring floods have caused disasters in many places in Dachu. It can be seen that the spring rains are so much that they are somewhat excessive.
But this excessive spring rain saved the lives of Bai Shishi and that Xiao Xinyue captor.
The two rely on the rainwater that comes every day for drinking water. For food, they first eat the dry food they bring, and then catch the birds that fly low above the village.
The birds were afraid to come, and they used fresh bird carcasses to lure snakes—the corpse plague poison refined by the wild monk was only aimed at humans, and had no effect on flying birds or live snakes, so it could be eaten with confidence.
When all the nearby snakes were eaten up, the two continued to support themselves with the medicinal pills they cultivated.
After staying like this for more than a month, under tremendous pressure, Bai Shishi successfully condensed the seeds of true energy, and entered the fourth rank!
To deal with the two fifth-rank warriors, the wild monk needs to use phantom arrays and zombies to consume them, trying to force them to go hungry and eat food infected with the epidemic poison. Product catcher.
Therefore, as soon as Bai Shishi entered the fourth rank, the situation immediately reversed.
Relying on the qi seed's induction of the heaven and earth's inspiration, she found the eye of the crude phantom formation, defeated it, broke the phantom formation, and forced out the real body of the wild monk.
After a tough battle, Bai Shishi teamed up with the fifth-rank headhunter, and after exhausting the few spells that the wild monk had, Bai Shishi used the heavy pistol that Shen Lang gave her to blast the wild monk's dog's head with one shot. .
After listening to the experience Bai Shishi narrated, Gu Hongye sighed:
"Your trip is really a matter of life and death! If you don't break through and break the phantom array, then after you eat up the pills, if you don't want to become ignorant zombies enslaved by others, you will have to starve death, or self-destruction."
Bai Shishi smiled:
"In a desperate situation, it's better to give it a go than to sit and wait for death. I have already discussed with Catcher Xiao. If I fail to attack the fourth rank, she will continue to attack. If we both fail, then we will kill ourselves quickly.
"We have even prepared oil and firewood. We plan to set ourselves on fire if we fail. Anyway, we can't even leave the dead body to that wild monk, lest he be turned into a zombie and drive him to harm people."
"You really..."
Gu Hongye shook his head and sighed twice, not knowing how to evaluate it.
Say they are ruthless enough, but not ruthless really can't do.
If you commit suicide in a normal way, such as cutting your own throat or something, and leave a complete body, you will also be turned into a zombie.
Even if they cut each other's hands, feet, and heads, it would still work if they sewed them together.
The desecration of the dead body is a second.
The key is the corpses of two fifth-rank warriors. Even if they have no internal energy after death, they have gone through the training of third-rank training such as refining strength, refining muscles and bones, and refining viscera, and their bodies have been tempered by internal energy. Once they become zombies, they are still quite powerful. Yes, it will kill a lot of people.
In order not to be a minion, I really can only set myself on fire, burn myself as scorched and weak as possible, and it is best to burn directly to ashes...
Having said that, it was quite a thrilling experience.
Bai Shishi seemed to ask Gu Hongye casually:
"After Xiao Butou and I came back, I heard that you followed Shen Butou to the Starfall Gate, did you torment the Starfall Gate enough?"
Gu Hongye nodded:
"Yeah. Chief Shen seized the evidence that the elders of the Star Perishing Sect worshiped the Demon Buddha, and even took the iron evidence of the sacrifice of living people. He mutilated and arrested Duguxue, the elder who passed on the practice, and beheaded Dugu Wei, the great elder of the Star Perishing Sect. Afterwards, they forced Yao Sheng, the head of the Star Perishing Sect, to personally arrest three elders who had attained a fourth rank."
Seeing Bai Shishi's calm expression, she specially emphasized:
"Duguxue is an entry-level third-rank, and Dugu Wei has a mastery of third-rank! When we escorted the criminal back to the capital, Shen Butou only sent summoned Taoist soldiers and monsters, and killed a master of the imperial guard who was a third-rank master. He Xianfei, the law-enforcing elder of the Dexing Perishing Sect, who was in the early stage of the third rank, knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Of course, the record of beheading the master of the Forbidden Army cannot be publicized. The master of the Forbidden Army named Hu Dali was announced by Bai Huchan two days ago as a failure to attack the second rank, and he exploded to death.
"Nine deaths in a second-rank attack. It's normal for nine to die and one alive. Before Master Mu attacked the second rank, even if Master Yan was there to protect the law, he had to arrange the funeral first, and then waited for Shen Butou to come back and exchanged heartfelt feelings with him. , and then let it go.
"Thus, even if Hu Dali really died after attacking the second rank, but with the record of capturing Duguxue and beheading Duguwei, Shen Butou will really become famous this time!"
"Oh."
Bai Shishi let out a faint oh, and quickly peeled the garlic with her slender and flexible fingers.
Gu Hongye said in surprise:
"My master has played such an amazing record and is about to become famous all over the world. Are you not surprised and excited at all?"
Bai Shishi raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Hongye:
"When Shen Butou was only at the sixth rank, he beat me half to death with three palms. At that time, I was already a fifth rank master, and I had the secret technique bestowed by the spider mother. Afterwards, he single-handedly wiped out all the spider sisters. , including both the middle stage of the fourth grade and the early stage of the fourth grade.
"I watched Shen Baotou and the spider sisters all the time. I know how powerful he is. I have known for a long time that he will be famous all over the world, and I firmly believe that one day he will be able to kill the third rank, the second rank and even the first rank. Therefore, I Why should you be surprised?"
"..."
Gu Hongye was speechless for a while, and suddenly felt that she had nothing to be superior to Bai Shishi.
At this time, Bai Shishi said quietly again:
"How far have you and Shen Butou progressed?"
Gu Hongye's sense of superiority returned, her chin slightly raised, and she blinked her eyelids:
"you guess?"
When Bai Shishi saw her expression, she immediately sneered:
"It's not the last step yet, what are you proud of?"
Gu Hongye was stunned:
"How do you know you haven't reached the last step?"
Bai Shishi smiled and said:
"With your proud temperament, if you reached the last step, you would have already shown it off to me, how could you still be so mysterious?"
Gu Hongye raised her eyebrows:
"I'm not as proud as I used to be! By the way, how did you become smart all of a sudden?"
Bai Shishi rolled her eyes angrily:
"I've always been smart, okay?"
Gu Hongye smiled secretly: However, almost everyone who knows you says that you don't look very smart...
Bai Shishi curiously asked:
"Well, how did you serve Captain Shen?"
Gu Hongye also rolled her eyes angrily:
"How can you say such private words? You shouldn't even ask."
Bai Shishi has such a thick skin, she smiled and said:
"We are good sisters who are married to Mr. Mu together, accompanied Mr. Mu and Shen Butou to pay homage together, and shared a small bed in the common room. Let's share our experience of serving the master!"
Gu Hongye squinted at her:
"Hey, you are a good sister now? You woman, you can turn your face faster than a book. When you first entered the yard, you said that I was dressed flirtatiously, and blamed me for sneaking in. You looked like a teacher asking for a crime." Woolen cloth."
Bai Shishi has a cheeky face with a sincere look:
"I'm sorry, my good sister. I almost died outside this time. After the catastrophe, the rest of my life, with all the ups and downs, will inevitably feel a little unstable..."
Gu Hongye twitched the corner of her mouth:
"Who is your younger sister? I am older than you, I have a higher level of cultivation than you, and I serve the master before you. Even as a dowry maid, I am one step ahead of you, and I have obtained Master Mu's consent."
Bai Shishi changed her words without any pressure:
"Good sister! Can't I call you sister?"
This cheek!
She is indeed a woman who has been a villain!
Gu Hongye shook his head helplessly, and said again:
"I'm not as thick-skinned as you... There are some things that can only be done, but not said. In this way, when you take a bath for the master at night, you will be with me and watch what I do, and you will follow suit."
Bai Shishi really didn't expect that Gu Hongye's mind is so small, but her heart is so open, she was really grateful, and she grabbed Gu Hongye's hand:
"Good sister! Thank you!"
In a blink of an eye it was dinner time.
With a satisfied smile on his face, Shen Lang came out of the alchemy room with a small gourd in his hand. Seeing that Bai Shishi was there, he immediately smiled and said:
"Shishi is back? Hey, have you entered the fourth rank?"
Bai Shishi deliberately showed the aura of the fourth rank, let Shen Lang know her own cultivation, and then saluted him:
"Shishi can be what it is today, thanks to Shen Toutou's cultivation."
Shen Lang knew that she was talking about the two thousand-year-old ichthyosaurs, so he waved his hands with a smile:
"No outsiders can help you to condense the true energy seeds, you can only rely on yourself. You can advance to the fourth rank because of your own chance."
Talking, sat down at the dinner table, and waited for him to take a seat, Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi sat down one after another.
While feeding Shen Lang more food, Gu Hongye said:
"Shi Shi Jin Sipin is not only a chance, but also experienced a lot of life and death honing."
After talking about Bai Shishi and Xiao Tutou's adventures in the mountain village, Shen Lang felt emotional:
"Looking for opportunities between life and death... You, the seed of true qi, really did not come easily."
And solemnly asked:
"The wild monk's method of creating the epidemic poison, can it be seized and destroyed?"
Such vicious methods must be completely destroyed.If it gets out, how many innocent people will be killed.
Bai Shishi nodded:
"We found his lair, first destroyed all the methods of making and refining poison, copied a copy of the method of detoxification, and then burned his lair to completely eradicate this scourge.
"With the method of detoxification, if there are similar incidents in the future, the victims can be rescued in time. Unfortunately, even if there is a method of detoxification, it can only save those who have not been deeply poisoned. The poison is dying, and there is still no cure. "
Shen Lang said:
"So we still have to try our best to prevent similar incidents in advance."
Bai Shishi smiled wryly:
"It's too difficult to completely eradicate. Many sorcery and magic skills, even if their inheritance is completely destroyed, will reappear inexplicably after a while. When I came back this time, I asked Master Yan about this kind of sorcery and magic skills. Why is it repeated repeatedly?
"Master Yan said that on the surface, the abyss of stars is not eliminated, and the tribulation is endless. But in fact, the greed and evil of the human heart will never end. Even if there are no demons in the abyss of the abyss to lure mortals in various ways and spread sorcery and magic power, there will always be There are evil people, in order to realize their own desires, they create all kinds of sorcery and magic skills.
"Therefore, it is almost impossible to completely ban evil magic arts. What we can do is to limit their spread as much as possible, eliminate their influence, nip them in the bud as much as possible, and help and treat victims as much as possible."
Shen Lang nodded slightly:
"Master Yan's words are really insightful."
Bai Shishi smiled and said:
"This time Xiao Butou and I narrowly escaped death. Master Yan sympathized with us and gave us a ten-day vacation. After the vacation is over, we don't have to go out of Beijing to handle the case. Let us stay in Beijing until the end of the tribute ceremony. order."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"That's not bad."
Bai Shishi flashed her long eyelashes and looked at Shen Lang:
"But I don't have a place to live in Beijing, and I don't want to stay in the yamen when I'm on vacation...Shen Botou, like Sister Hongye, I'm also a dowry maid who accompanies Master Mu to pay homage to you. It should be a matter of course to live in your house, right?"
This reason is very strong, and Shen Lang is not easy to refuse, after all, he has already competed with Gu Hongye in serious martial arts, so how can he refuse Bai Shishi?
At the moment, I can only nod and agree:
"Well, you can stay at my house when you are on vacation in the future."
Bai Shishi hurriedly thanked Shen Lang diligently, and graciously picked some chopsticks for Shen Lang.
The three of them were chatting while eating, and Bai Shishi knew that Gu Hongye had actually finished her vacation long ago and had already resumed work.
However, before the end of the tribute ceremony, Gu Hongye didn't have to go out of Beijing to do business, he could handle the case near the capital, and stay in Beijing to maintain law and order during the ceremony.
Today, Gu Hongye went to the yamen to order Mao early in the morning, and then went to the West Market to patrol for most of the day.
Xishi is one of the two major bazaars in the capital. It not only gathers Dongtu department stores, but also foreign merchants from various vassal states and even the Western Regions, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Western countries. They sell rare goods from various countries, and even operate exotic taverns and brothels. .
Foreign merchants from all over the world also set up guild halls in Xishi, which also functioned as embassies.
Like this time, the Western countries took advantage of the five-year tribute ceremony and sent missions to join in the fun, but the Western countries are not affiliated with the Great Chu, this time is a serious state visit, and talk about trade and do business by the way.
Since you are not a vassal, you must first submit your credentials to make your intentions clear when you come to visit.
Therefore, Western countries opened commercial halls in Xishi, and they could do things.
After receiving the remote summons, the missions of the previous generations reported to the Ministry of Rites of the Great Chu to discuss the route of the mission, escort matters along the way, and determine the time, specifications, and purpose of the mission's visit.
The advance caravans sent by the Western countries' missions are of course not eligible to live in state-run guest houses such as the Courtyard under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. They can only live in the guild halls of various countries to do business and inquire about news.
The western countries and Great Chu are separated by thousands of miles of sea and territory, and the advance caravans have already arrived in the capital. Those vassal states that are closer to the Great Chu, as well as the Western Regions, Nanyang, and Eastern countries, of course, have already sent advance teams.
With so many foreigners pouring into the West Market at once, the law and order situation will naturally become severe.
In other words, there are no fewer evil gods and demons in Xiyang than in Dachu.
Even because there is no unified empire in the West, but many countries, and the aristocratic enfeoffment system, the lords who are still making lords are not my lords, and the king is just the biggest noble. There is a lot of living space for evil gods and demons.
Some nobles even secretly believe in evil gods and evil spirits with their families—the evil gods and evil spirits are more "generous" than righteous gods, and it doesn't matter whether you are religious or not, as long as you worship in place, you will almost respond to your requests.
Unlike righteous gods, because there are too many believers, there is a requirement for the piety of believers, and even pious believers, it is basically impossible to get a response from the gods.
In this context, even the envoys will inevitably be mixed with believers of evil gods and demons.
Some wanted to sneak into the east to preach and expand the influence of the Lord they served, and some were lurking in the envoys, attempting to sabotage, even assassinate the envoys, and stir up disputes between the two countries.
The envoys of various countries have already caught several such demon believers along the way.
Among the advance caravans that arrived at the capital first, a few demon believers also appeared, causing some troubles.
The missions of various countries have already caused a lot of trouble.
On Dachu's side, there are many "heroes of the rivers and lakes", greedy for the exotic treasures brought by the mission, and even those exotic beauties, they also came to the capital one after another, trying to show their skills and make a fortune.
There are also many martial arts rookies, knowing that this year there will be a mission from the Mobei barbarians coming to the capital. According to the usual practice, they will challenge the big Chu rookies, so they also followed the teacher to the capital to join in the fun.I heard that many strange-looking foreigners came to the West Market, and those martial arts rookies and veterans who came to Beijing from other places also went to the West Market to broaden their horizons.
Once there are too many and complicated people, it is easy to cause trouble.
Not to mention that most of the people who have come to the capital recently, whether they are foreigners or locals, have so many skills, the troubles will be more and more troublesome.
In short, the West City of the capital has been a mess these days, with jealousy, fights, street vendettas, thieves robbing, thieves picking flowers and other vicious cases happening every day.
During the tribute ceremony, it was customary for the Imperial Army and the Jingzhao Mansion to jointly maintain law and order.But in the face of such a complicated situation, Shenchaotang also had to send elite soldiers and generals to help maintain law and order.
When Gu Hongye went to patrol the West Market today, he encountered several fights.
Some of them were fights between the advance caravans sent by the two western countries-the western countries were not monolithic, they were constantly at odds with each other, all kinds of alliances, alliances and alliances.Throughout the Western Continent, in the past hundred years, wars of all sizes have occurred almost every year.
Therefore, Western countries have some conflicts with each other, and some even have feuds for decades or hundreds of years.
When people from two countries with blood feuds and world feuds meet, even in a foreign country, it is inevitable that they will sneer at each other, and once the talk is started, it will often develop into a fight in the end.It's not uncommon to kill people.
Gu Hongye stopped two duels between the guards of the Western caravan today, and did not let them die.
In addition, she also caught two burglars who were setting foot outside a certain western congress hall, and also caught a flower picker who dared to come out to commit crimes in broad daylight.
Miss Hongye's patrol experience today is so rich that even Shen Lang is a little moved by hearing it. If she is free, she will also go to the West Market to open her eyes.
After chatting and eating, Shen Lang took out the little gourd again, poured out more than twenty pills inside, and distributed them equally among Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi:
"This is the elixir I made, ranging from seventh-rank to fifth-rank. Although you are all at fourth-rank cultivation, these elixirs are still useful to you. Take it and eat it."
The seventh-grade "Five Qi Pill" that can strengthen the viscera is useful to Shen Lang, and of course it is also useful to Bai Shishi and Gu Hongye.
The sixth-rank "Main Quenching Pill" and the fifth-rank "Condensing Yuan Pill" can both strengthen the meridians and temper internal strength-fourth-rank warriors, until the fourth-rank masters, they can directly refine true qi.
Before the completion of the fourth rank, the daily cultivation of the fourth rank martial artist must first refine the internal force, and then absorb the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth from the true energy seeds and the true energy vortex, fuse with the internal force, and refine the true energy.
Therefore, the spirit pills of the sixth and fifth ranks are also useful for Bai Shishi, who is entering the fourth rank, and Gu Hongye, who is in the middle of the fourth rank.
The two took the pill and thanked them with a smile.
Gu Hongye threw a Wuqi Pill into his mouth, held it on his cheeks like eating jelly beans, and asked curiously:
"You have only been learning alchemy for more than ten days, right? You can actually make a fifth-grade elixir. When will you be able to make a fourth-grade elixir?"
"Soon." Shen Lang said with a smile: "In just these two days of hard work, you should be able to successfully refine a fourth-grade 'Quenching True Pill', which has the effect of tempering true energy seeds and true energy vortexes, up to fourth-grade Great Chengdu is of great use.”
After chatting for a few more words, Shen Lang went to meditate by himself, while Gu Hongye said:
"Shishi washes the dishes, I'm going to boil the water, and I'm going to serve the master to take a bath."
As she spoke, she gave Bai Shishi a wink, Bai Shishi understood, and quickly packed the dishes with full of expectation.
