Beginning with the Five Animals Fist to Become a Saint

Chapter 315: Alternate Inspector (asking for monthly ticket!)

East courtyard.

Bai Luoyu took out a palm-sized black plate from his arms, which was engraved with mysterious patterns.

At first glance, Jiang Ning recognized that the patterns on it were a kind of talisman.

According to the records in the book, the talisman is the manifestation of the patterns of Taoism and Dharma.

Represents the rules and principles between heaven and earth.

In ancient times, immortality was closely related to talismans.

at this time.

Bai Luoyu saw Jiang Ning's eyes on the black jade tablet, so he said, "This is the Heavenly Secret Scroll, which is the identity token and symbol of a county inspector. I will give it to you first, but because Brother Jiang is only a substitute inspector now, he has not passed the test from above and has not received the Scroll, so this item can only represent identity, and it does not have the original function of transmitting messages thousands of miles away."

"Transmit a message thousands of miles away?" Jiang Ning looked surprised.

Bai Luoyu nodded: "The Heavenly Secret Scroll has the function of transmitting messages over a thousand miles, which is one of the reasons why our inspectors can inspect a county. If a major problem occurs in Dongling County, I only need to send a message to the capital, and a master will descend on Dongling County in a few days. With the master's power, it is enough to quell all unrest."

"Transmitting messages over thousands of miles, this method is quite magical!" Jiang Ning pretended to be amazed.

Bai Luoyu smiled and said, "It is indeed magical to ordinary people, but in ancient times, this method was just common. Anyone who has entered the immortal path and has achieved a certain level of success and savings can almost have a communication talisman in their hands."

"The methods used by Tianji Lu also come from the research results of ancient times."

"That is why only those with immortal roots are qualified to become the inspector of a county."

"Without immortal roots, you cannot use the Heavenly Secret Scroll at all, and naturally you are not qualified to become a patrol envoy."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel curious.

As Bai Luoyu said, only those who possess immortal roots can use the Tianji Talisman and be qualified to become a county inspector.

Before Bai Luoyu came to Luoshui County, he had clearly received instructions from above, giving him the choice to become a county governor.

This clearly illustrates one thing.

That is, before Bai Luoyu arrived, the higher-ups already knew that he possessed immortal roots.

Jiang Ning suppressed this doubt in his heart and finally spoke.

"Thank you, Brother Bai, for clearing up my confusion."

Bai Luoyu smiled and asked, "Brother Jiang, what are your plans for the future?"

"In a few days, I will naturally go to Dongling City to take the imperial examination, and then go to Wuyuan for further study."

"Okay! Then I will wait for Brother Jiang's arrival in Dongling City." Bai Luoyu raised his glass.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also raised the glass in his hand.

"Thank you, Brother Bai." he said.

Bai Luoyu smiled, clinked his glass together, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Afterwards, Jiang Ning also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Gurgling gurgling——

When the two people's empty glasses were filled with wine again, Bai Luoyu spoke again: "Brother Jiang, do you know the purpose of Xiao Emei coming to Luoshui County?"

"Just some guesses." Jiang Ning raised his glass.

Xiao Emei's unexpected arrival did not put too much pressure on him.

He is not afraid of the younger generation now.

Especially after he understood Xiao Emei's approximate strength, he had no fear at all.

Ranked third on the Hidden Dragon List.

It is only the fifth level of martial arts strength.

More than a month ago, he had already killed two fifth-rank warriors like Xiao Emei.

Moreover, those two were warriors of the God-Worshipping Cult, possessing the ability to become deities.

If you really want to calculate, Xiao Emei would be qualified to be compared with the two fifth-grade warriors of the God Worshipping Sect unless she is a strong person who has condensed her inner energy into a strong force.

This was just over a month ago.

By now, his strength has increased exponentially.

Why would he be afraid of Xiao Emei?

The one who really frightened him was the Palace Master of Shuiyue Sword Palace, who was known as the number one person under the Grandmaster.

But now that he has the status of alternate inspector, he feels less fearful.

The higher the status, the less likely a martial artist would dare to act rashly.

If there were no security guarantee, how could the Great Xia have been able to maintain its rule for more than 800 years?

at the same time.

After hearing Jiang Ning's words, Bai Luoyu asked again, "Brother Jiang, since you have guessed Xiao Emei's intentions, what are your plans?"

"If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; if the water comes, we will block it with earth!" Jiang Ning said.

"Good!" Bai Luoyu praised: "It seems that Brother Jiang is confident in his mind, so I won't interfere any more."

Jiang Ning smiled. He was not sure whether Bai Luoyu's words were sincere or not.

Although it seemed from the outside that the big shot Bai Luoyu was full of kindness towards him, today was the first time they met after all, and he didn't trust Bai Luoyu so easily.

Moreover, Xiao Emei came today with Bai Luoyu.

He didn't believe the two of them saying they had no friendship at all.

the other side.

Xiao Emei stood at the gate in front of Jiangning Mansion, lost in deep thought.

Today was the first time she met Jiang Ning.

She also discovered that the task her master had assigned to her was not as simple as she had imagined.

Inviting Jiang Ning to visit your home, nowadays, is it easier said than done?

The key point she could see from what she just saw was that Bai Luoyu valued Jiang Ning very much.

Bai Luoyu's emphasis not only represents Bai Luoyu's attitude, but also represents the attitude of the Inspection Office.

Faced with the Inspection Office, which is now at its peak, she did not dare to offend.

As for Jiang Ning before, she had the idea of ​​using her strength to forcibly invite Jiang Ning back to Shuiyue Sword Palace as a guest and complete the task assigned by her master.

But after seeing Bai Luoyu's attitude towards Jiang Ning today, the hesitation in her heart became even more hesitant.

"Shall we give it a try tonight?" She turned her head slightly to look in the direction of Jiang Ning, muttering to herself.

at this time.

She suddenly heard two footsteps approaching from behind her, as well as the voices of Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu talking.

Xiao Emei suddenly came back to her senses, then quickly adjusted her expression and revealed a faint smile.

next moment.

She turned around and saw Jiang Ning and Bai Luo walking side by side, chatting and laughing all the way.

She immediately smiled, as if welcoming the two people.

After a while.

Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu came to the door.

"Brother Jiang, let's meet again someday and I'll treat you to a drink." Bai Luoyu said.

"It's a deal then!" Jiang Ning smiled.

"It's a deal!" Bai Luoyu also smiled faintly.

Then he looked at Xiao Emei beside him.

"Miss Xiao, do you have anything to say to Brother Jiang?"

Xiao Emei nodded immediately and looked at Jiang Ning: "Commander Jiang, can I have a word with you?"

Jiang Ning glanced at her and nodded slightly.

"Patrol Officer Bai, I want to have a few words with Commander Jiang first!" Xiao Emei looked at Bai Luoyu.

Bai Luoyu smiled and waved his folding fan: "Please do as you please!"

By Luoshui.

Several dozen feet downwind from Bai Luoyu.

"Commander Jiang!" Xiao Emei lifted her hair that was messed up by the cold wind, and then tucked it behind her ears, immediately revealing her beautiful profile and white neck.

Seeing Jiang Ning looking at her, Xiao Emei couldn't help but feel happy.

She really enjoyed the look from the man.

next moment.

The cold wind blew, and the hair she had just tied up was blown messy again.

"Commander Jiang!" Xiao Emei spoke again.

"Miss Xiao, if you have something to say, just say it." Jiang Ning said.

Xiao Emei immediately brushed away the black hair that was stuck to her red lips, and then said, "Commander Jiang, my master wants to invite you to the Shuiyue Sword Palace for a banquet. I wonder if Commander Jiang would be willing to do me the honor?" Hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile, "I'm not a fool. Your master's banquet is a good one!"

"Commander Jiang has misunderstood." Xiao Emei showed an apologetic look on her face: "My master just wanted to invite Commander Jiang to be his guest and treat him well, and by the way, investigate whether the death of my master's nephew He Jinyun is related to Commander Jiang?"

"No idea!" Jiang Ning waved his hand, turned around and left.

"Master Jiang!" Xiao Emei's tone softened, and her voice became a little gentler: "Master's orders are hard to disobey, please help me!"

Afterwards, she only saw Jiang Ning's receding back and his footsteps that did not stop at all.

Seeing this scene, her eyes fell behind Jiang Ning, and the thought just now popped up in her mind again.

"Let's give it a try tonight!" Xiao Emei whispered in her heart.

After a while.

She saw Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu having a brief conversation, and then Bai Luoyu walked towards her.

"Patrol Envoy White!"

"What's wrong?" Bai Luoyu smiled and said, "Miss Xiao's beauty trap has failed, right?"

Xiao Emei's originally smiling expression froze for a moment.

"Where's the beauty trap!" She tucked up the fine hair that fell by her ears, revealing her snow-white neck.

Seeing this, Bai Luoyu smiled but said nothing.

the other side.

Return to the house.

Jiang Li appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

"Brother, what did that important person from the county town come here for?"

"It's to promote me!" Jiang Ning said.

"What grade?" Jiang Li's eyes lit up instantly.

"From the sixth grade."

"From the sixth rank!!!" Jiang Li's eyes suddenly widened.

Afterwards, Jiang Li walked into the house with a dazed look on his face, muttering to himself.

"From the sixth rank!"

"From the sixth rank!!"

"The Jiang family's ancestors' graves are emitting smoke. A high-ranking official is about to emerge!!!"

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ning couldn't help but smile.

East courtyard.

Jiang Ning looked at the contribution point tokens neatly arranged in front of him, feeling extremely happy.

In the Inspection Office, contribution points are the universal currency.

That is, you can get promoted and make money in exchange for promotion of position and exchange for gold and silver.

It can also be exchanged for various resources needed for martial arts, martial arts secrets, and even the secret techniques of major sects.

Because the inner treasury of the Inspection Office is connected to the inner treasury of the Martial Saint Office.

The savings of Wusheng Mansion over hundreds of years are also all open to inspectors from all over the country who meet the requirements.

At the beginning of the founding of Da Xia, the Martial Saint visited all the major sects in the world and conquered them. As a result, he collected many skills from the major sects. The accumulation of the Martial Saint Palace over hundreds of years is also frighteningly rich.

Jiang Ning was very clear that the contribution points he had now were wealth that he would not be able to obtain for a long time in the future.

Therefore, he must plan carefully the 1.4 million contribution points he obtained today, as well as the 30,000 contribution points he had before, totaling 1.43 million contribution points.

Thinking of the contribution points he had accumulated before, he couldn't help but feel secretly distressed.

A few days ago, I spent 100,000 contribution points from Grandma Bai in the Internal Affairs Department to be promoted to the eighth rank, thereby increasing my authority.

Looking back today, that choice was an incredible waste.

The deputy inspector general is equivalent to an official of the sixth rank.

With this identity, the previous investment of 100,000 contribution points is equivalent to going down the drain.

How could he not feel distressed when he thought about the 100,000 contribution points worth at least 100,000 taels of silver.

"never mind!"

He shook his head secretly, dispelled the negative emotions in his heart, and put away the pile of spirit stones and jade beads in front of him.

Then continue practicing.

Although Xiao Emei's arrival did not pose a threat to him.

But he also knew that Xiao Emei's arrival also meant that the Shuiyue Sword Palace had really set their sights on him and had already taken action.

Even though Xiao Emei failed in her fight against him, it didn't mean that the Palace Master of Shuiyue Sword Palace would give up.

Even if the palace master would give up, it does not mean that her biological sister, He Jinyun's mother would give up.

It's not surprising that a mother who has lost her child would do anything.

This is a hidden threat.

It's a hassle after all.

But his current strength is not enough to solve this problem, let alone eliminate it in the first place.

All we can do is as I said to Bai Luoyun just now: when the enemy comes, we will fight back with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth; and we will respond to all changes with the same attitude.

To solve this troublesome matter, we can only rely on strength, relying on strong enough strength.

the other side.

After Bai Luoyu and Xiao Emei returned to the inn.

Xiao Emei returned to her room and closed the door.

She stood outside the window, looking in the direction of Jiang Ning, her brows furrowed.

When she arrived in Luoshui County, she found that this matter was more troublesome to deal with than she had imagined.

Originally in her eyes, Jiang Ning was just a martial artist of the seventh or sixth rank.

His official position was only that of a deputy commander of the eighth rank.

Neither his strength nor his status was enough to make her feel intimidated.

But today's trip overturned her perception.

The fact that Bai Luoyu was so polite and addressed him as "brother" also showed how much importance the Inspectorate attaches to him.

She knew very well that Bai Luoyu was in charge of the Dongling Inspection Office and knew Jiangning much better than she did.

Bai Luoyu's behavior meant that he must have underestimated Jiang Ning before.

"It seems he is not that simple."

"Let's test him tonight and find out his background before making any plans."

After making a firm decision, Xiao Emei called the waiter and prepared to take a hot bath and wait for the night to fall.

Haishi.

The bright moonlight is sometimes obscured by thick clouds, and sometimes seems to be covered by a veil, making the moonlight hazy.

Xiao Emei stood in front of the tall bronze mirror, naked.

Then, she took a black cloth and tied it tightly around her chest. She also tied her bare feet tightly with black cloth strips, and then put on the tight nightgown piece by piece.

Soon she revealed a pair of black eyes.

She picked up the sword on the table, thought for a moment, put it down, and then picked up a dagger next to it.

After inserting it into her waist, she nodded in satisfaction.

creak-

A window of Yunlai Inn facing the street was opened.

Then, a slender figure emerged from the gap in the window.

She looked around and didn't notice any movement. Then she moved as lightly as a cat, without making any sound on the roof, and disappeared into the night in an instant.

Until the figure was in the distance.

The window of Bai Luoyu's room was then opened.

"Xiao Emei finally took action!"

He looked at the direction where Xiao Emei disappeared, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Forget it! I'd better not interfere tonight!"

"If the candidate favored by the higher-ups can't even handle a minor problem like Xiao Emei, then that's too lame!"

"Besides, selling favors is not appropriate tonight. Xiao Emei doesn't have the guts to kill him."

After thinking it through, Bai Luoyu closed the window again.
