Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 129 The Sneaky Man
"Master Zhuang, you have good eyesight."

Qi Cheng let out a strange laugh.

"I got a very interesting little fellow today, and I got some insights."

"Oh?"

Zhuang Renhe opened his eyes and looked surprised.

Qi Cheng laughed strangely again: "He is a little guy who really doesn't want to die."

"Congratulations."

Zhuang Renhe regained his composure.

He knew that Qi Cheng was a demon keeper who liked to play with shameful things.

"Master Qi, is there really another immortal treasure left in Qinghe?"

"Ah."

Qi Cheng nodded affirmatively.

"Jiang Linxian gave the fairy treasure to the old emperor, but there was still a piece missing. There has been no news since then. It is either hidden by Jiang Linxian or it is still lost outside. The incident happened in Qinghe, so it is most likely to be lost here."

Zhuang Renhe groaned:
"But what if the immortal treasure has been eaten?"

"It doesn't matter."

A sneer appeared on Qi Cheng's lips. What he cared about was not the spiritual guidance, but the immortal method.

The Ghost Sect is also in the exploration stage. It is not easy to turn mortals into treasures, so the immortal treasures that have been lost outside must be brought back!
have eaten?

If there are no objects, then study people.

It's the same anyway.

"That's good."

Zhuang Renhe looked at Qi Cheng, a barely perceptible disgust flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Qi Cheng is a demon keeper of the Ghost Cult.

The strength is average, but the status is very high.

Just because his last name is Qi.

Maybe no one knows this.

Let’s just say that the royal family of the previous dynasty also had the surname Qi. Yes, this Qi Cheng was the remnant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. The Ghost Sect was the state religion of the previous dynasty. As a descendant of the royal family, his status was naturally very high.

Otherwise, how could he, a big shot of the Nanliang Zhuang family, be in the same carriage with a demon from the Ghost Cult?

"It is said that the royal family of the previous dynasty was good at animal taming. This method of feeding monsters is derived from this animal taming technique."

Zhuang Renhe thought.

"But later on, the Qi royal family went astray and became more and more evil, which is why they are being condemned by everyone today."

If the Qi royal family had not been so obsessed with the art of raising demons, it might not have caused such widespread public resentment.

Finally, Emperor Zulong of the Yu Kingdom rose up and swept across the world.

After Emperor Zulong established the country, he learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty.

The Equality Sect was changed to the Ghost Sect, and the demon-raising technique was banned.

Why are forbidden techniques banned?
Is it as the legend says that its power is too great and it is envied by the gods?
of course not.

If it were just this point, the forbidden technique would have long been the best in the world and sought after by everyone. The key point is that it is detrimental to the rulers of the time, which is why it was banned.

As for the magic method.
Zhuang Renhe knew very little about it and didn't feel comfortable asking.

The reason why the Zhuang family was able to rise in three hundred years was precisely because they had the support of the Ghost Sect behind them.

Even the fact that he could come to Qinghe to serve as the county magistrate this time was inseparable from the operation of the Guiming Sect.

Since he relied on others, Zhuang Renhe had no choice but to cooperate with the Qi family.

Both parties are just using each other.

"Master Qi, the immortal treasure is lost. Qinghe is entangled and difficult to find."

Qi Chengru's face, which looked like the bark of an ancient tree, showed a smile that was more terrifying than a ghost's cry: "Don't worry about this matter, I have my own way."

"There are still people."

Li Rui looked at the carriage and frowned slightly.

From the perspective of the spiritual eye.

There was a golden appearance inside the carriage, and it was clearly seen that the carriage was separated on both sides. In other words, in addition to the new magistrate Zhuang Renhe, there was another person in the carriage.

"Staff?"

Li Rui guessed in his mind.

The person who could ride in the same sedan chair with Zhuang Renhe was most likely his closest and most trusted aide.

I don’t know either.

What kind of storm will this new magistrate stir up when he comes to Qinghe?

But these are not the issues he needs to think about.

With a move of footsteps, the figure disappeared into the alley.

In the military camp.

"Brother Li, have you heard that the new county magistrate is taking office today? What a grand ceremony."

When Li Rui came back, he met Ge Hong and they chatted for a while.

“Just happened to see it.”

Ge Hong said with a click of his tongue: "The Nanliang Zhuang family is a big family, and that Mr. Zhuang is the big dragon of the Zhuang family. Now that this gentleman has come, it will be lively in the future."

Originally, Qinghe was still a situation of opposition between Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei.

Now with the addition of Zhuang Renhe, there will definitely be changes.

Anyone who is familiar with history knows this.

If there are only two companies, it will usually be a life-and-death struggle, but if there are three, they will restrain each other, which will be more stable.

Perhaps this is also the intention of the court in sending a new county magistrate.

To explain it using Li Rui's theory from his previous life, the triangle is more stable.

Li Rui's mind flashed with five tall horses and a chariot as big as a hill. "It's really impressive. By the way, Brother Ge, do you know who this Lord Zhuang has as his confidant?"

Ge Hong shook his head:

"The Zhuang family is far away in Yunyang Prefecture, I don't know either."

Li Rui nodded. Ge Hong was just the owner of a small martial arts school in Qinghe before, so it was normal for him not to know the affairs of these big families.

He just thought of Zhuang Ren and the other person in the carriage for no reason, so he asked this question.

Ge Hong chuckled: "Brother Li, don't worry. We are now members of the Annan Army. Even if the county magistrate is powerful, he can't do anything to us."

"That's right."

Li Rui smiled.

After the two said goodbye.

Li Rui went straight back to the armory.

He continued to read books and practice his exercises without fail.

The dragon form is slightly successful, and it only takes one hour for the Flying Dragon in the Sky to run through the Qi diagram thirty-six times, which greatly shortens the time. In comparison, the progress of the immortal form of the Nine Profound Spiritual Sky diagram is much slower.

In addition to the effect of the dragon's blood, it is also because the grade of the Nine Profound Spiritual Sky Map itself is higher than that of the Flying Dragon in the Sky Map.

A higher grade means it is more difficult to practice and requires more time and energy.

Therefore, many sects choose Qi diagrams based on the talents of their disciples, rather than simply pursuing high grades.

of course.

Li Rui does not have this problem.

His talent was too high, so he had to practice the Nine Profound Spiritual Sky Diagram in the same way, just a little slower.

"It's a pity that the medicinal power of the dragon blood has been consumed."

He is still savoring the taste of the 72 great cycles.

I could only sigh inwardly.

His Xuanqing Qi is still too weak, and he needs to use Changchun Gong to cultivate it for a while before he can circulate 72 great cycles.

Bang!
Bang!
The night watchman walked on the street, beating his bamboo clapper.

When this sentence was said, it meant that it was already the fourth watch of the night, that is, 2:54 pm, which corresponds to 2:24 am.

This is the time when most residents are fast asleep.

There is no curfew in Qinghe.

But even so, even those experienced in romance would either go home and sleep, or sleep with some plump girl.

The only person walking on the street was the night watchman.

This place is very close to Anning Guard Station, so there is no need to worry about public security issues, and the night watchmen can walk steadily.

When he walked through an alley.

A gigantic figure, at least eight feet tall, appeared in the shadows of the alley.

"An Ning Guard."

A hoarse, unclear voice came out of that person's mouth.

He covered his entire body with a huge black smock, blending perfectly into the dark night.

"Jiang Linxian, Cao Wei!"

There was obvious resentment and anger in his words.

Zhang Hao, who had transformed into a ghost demon, looked coldly at the An Ningwei military camp not far away.

The ghost demon is a collection of resentment and negative emotions. Although his consciousness takes the lead, it is also affected and becomes more extreme.

He followed Qi Cheng to Qinghe.

Always hiding in the dark.

I also heard from some people what happened to the Zhang family after my death.

Cao Wei showed no mercy.

All members of the Zhang family were driven away, resulting in a miserable end for the Zhang family.

Zhang Hao was devoted to the Zhang family during his lifetime, and now that he is dead, his emotions have been intensified, almost turning into an obsession.

But what he was thinking about now was not helping the Zhang family, but killing those who attacked the Zhang family.

remember.

The only things that ghosts and demons strengthen are negative emotions.

It's a cold-blooded killing machine.

Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei are naturally impossible to be killed by Zhang Hao now, but he can still kill others.

The murderous intent on that ugly face could not be stopped.

suddenly!

A voice exploded in his heart.

"Useless, do your job properly and don't make trouble!"

Zhang Hao's eyes, which had been flooded with murderous intent, regained some clarity and he took a deep breath.

He was trained by Qi Cheng to become a ghost demon.

Qi Cheng could sense her every move, and she was truly unable to live or die.

Zhang Hao continued to look at the military camp of Anning Guard.

Sensing carefully.

He was sent here by Qi Cheng, naturally for the fairy treasure.

Three days ago, he had arrived in Qinghe City alone.

Ghost demon, ghost demon, is still a demon in essence, but the demon breeder has used means to erase the original demon beast's intelligence, and has taken over the demon's nest with human resentment, but the instincts are still there.

For example, the sense of smell for natural treasures.

If the immortal treasure spiritual guide appears, or even if the person who has eaten the spiritual guide appears, he can sense it as long as they are within a hundred feet.

After tracing all the way, he came here.

Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Who will it be?"

"Jiang Linxian?"

The most likely possibility is that Jiang Linxian killed the Mother of All Ghosts and seized the immortal treasure.

of course.

Although he hated Jiang Linxian, he did not think he had the ability to kill her. Moreover, Jiang Linxian and Cao Wei were not there in the past few days, but there was still the aura of Ling Yin in An Ning Wei.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The little intelligence that Zhang Hao had left was once again filled with violent murderous intent.

A small tower-like figure flashed.

Disappear.

The next morning.

Li Rui finished his practice and had his meal as usual.

Walk out of the house.

"Ok?"

Li Rui frowned slightly, wondering, "What happened? Why are there several times more patrols than usual?"

Just in the midst of thinking.

Seeing Ge Hong who was leading his troops on patrol, he walked up to him and asked, "Brother Ge, what happened?"

When Ge Hong saw that it was Li Rui, he explained, "Someone broke into the military camp at night."

Li Rui raised his eyebrows.

Trespassing into a military camp?

This is new.

Where is Anningwei?
That is the place with the most powerful military force in the entire Qinghe. Any little thief who is so blind as to dare to come to An Ningwei to steal things will be punished for his crime.

Ge Hong also found it incredible: "Just last night at four o'clock, someone broke into An Ning Guard, and Lord Ning happened to notice it and fought him off."

Li Rui heard it as repel, not kill.

"Ran?"

"Ah."

Ge Hong nodded.

I heard that the man was hit by Lord Ning and escaped with serious injuries, so Lord Ning personally led the troops to capture him.

"It's really like a knife stabbing my butt, it opened my eyes."

Ge Hong also found it absurd.

Li Rui's heart moved slightly.

There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. That person didn't die even after being hit by a palm from a master like Ning Zhongtian. His strength must be quite good.

Someone with such military power would never do such a ridiculous thing as petty theft.

I'm afraid he has other intentions.

"Forget it. A 70-year-old man like me doesn't need to worry about this matter."

Since even Ning Zhongtian has already taken action, nothing should go wrong.

Even if Ning Zhongtian can't do it.

Then we still have Jiang Linxian. If even Jiang Linxian is not enough, there is still the general of Annan Town. If all these are not enough, there are still masters in the Central Dragon Court.

This is the reason why the imperial court crushes ordinary sects.

Otherwise, everyone wants to be an official?

Full of security!
