After regaining consciousness, Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes under his bamboo hat.
Lian Nishang, who was standing silently beside him, looked over, her beautiful eyes filled with inquiry and concern.
Chen Yuan shook his head, raised his eyes, and said lightly: "That guy still refuses to say."
"Then what should we do? According to what my brother said, this demon has big plans."
"It is estimated that all the people in the city have been poisoned. Brother, do you have any way to eliminate it?"
Lian Nishang frowned and spoke in a slightly hurried tone.
"Of course there is a way!"
Chen Yuan exhaled a breath of white air from his mouth and nose, folded his hands in his sleeves, and looked to the side in the direction of Lian Nishang. "This poison is not difficult to eliminate, but there are many people in the city, so it will take some time. But if we delay, something bad will happen, and no one can guarantee what will happen in the process."
"but."
Chen Yuan paused for a moment, his eyes gleaming, "There is a simple way!"
"The whole world belongs to the king. The luck of the world gathers together. A general can use the seal to issue orders to his people and command the region. Contracting a demon is one of them."
"If there are evil spirits under my rule, I can use the seal to mobilize the power of luck to suppress them."
After listening to what Chen Yuan said, Lian Nishang understood something. She flipped her hand and a black token appeared.
The Mountain-Moving Tiger Talisman of the Mountain Patrol Captain!
However, she soon became hesitant, "Brother, I understand what you said, but I am just a lieutenant with a low status. This path is too far away from me, and this person is a demon."
As she spoke, she came to her senses, and her beautiful eyes soon sparkled with a moving luster. Since her brother said this, it meant that he must have a solution in mind. Moreover, she saw that Chen Yuan's face was as calm as a lake, and he didn't seem to be panicked at all.
"Brother, it seems you have an idea?"
Chen Yuan nodded, his expression gradually became serious, then he stretched out his hand, and a palm-sized, half-foot square emerald green seal appeared in his hand.
This seal has a restrained aura. It is made of bronze with spots of rust on it. Although it is small, it exudes an ancient and majestic charm.
"Is this my brother's seal?"
With Lian Nishang's level of cultivation, she couldn't understand it and thought it was Chen Yuan's Zhonglang Seal.
When Chen Yuan heard what the other party said, his face twitched a little, and he said seriously, "This is the seal given by the Demon Suppression General of the Daofu Division."
"Once this seal is applied, the troops of the thirty-six prefectures of Jiannan Road can be mobilized. It can gather countless luck and use it to suppress Qingshan County. It is enough to suppress these magic poisons. It can be said that it is a waste of talent."
After saying that, Chen Yuan sneered.
That's why he's not in a hurry.
General Qi Tian authorized him to mobilize the troops from various prefectures, which was definitely not as simple as just a few words.
The identity of the other party represents the destiny of a place, and his every word and action affects the direction of the entire situation.
It seems that Chen Yuan was only given a small seal, but it carries so much and contains a lot of power.
This will allow Chen Yuan to act more "unscrupulously" in the future!
Moreover, before he came to Qingshan County, he had already sent his demon subordinates to the three prefectures to mobilize troops. His original plan was to go to the southeast defense line. It seems that they are useful now. Calculating the time, they should be on the way.
At this time, Lian Nishang's face was shocked when she heard this, and the long eyelashes above her beautiful eyes trembled slightly. She looked at the bronze seal, and saw that her brother did not seem to be joking, her heart was in turmoil.
The Demon-Suppressing General was too distant in her eyes. He was a true frontier official. With just one stomp of his feet, the entire Jiannan Road would shake.
Her brother had unknowingly reached this point, being able to exercise power on behalf of the general and have the thirty-six prefectures under his command. Even though Lian Nishang was not a worldly person, she felt quite shocked at this moment and was at a loss for words.
At this time, Chen Yuan spoke, pulling the little girl back to her senses.
"Nichang, ask those people to move back and block the intersection. Don't let anyone disturb me. I'm going to cast a spell!"
"Okay!" Lian Nishang's face turned stern, then she turned around and came to the yamen runners and soldiers and gave them orders.
Those people quickly ran to the surrounding intersections and set up guard. Although there were not many people around in the early morning, they were still able to prevent any strangers from rashly barging in.
Soon, at the well mouth, Chen Yuan raised his hand and turned it into a sword finger, then wiped it between his eyebrows, and the third eye between his eyebrows slowly opened, and golden light overflowed. Chen Yuan pinched the golden light with the sword finger in his hand and hit it towards the ground around the well mouth one by one.
The golden light penetrated into the surroundings like a nail, and then invisible waves surged out from the ground, blowing the wind and snow around.
This process took three or four breaths.
Using the same routine, Chen Yuan first concealed his aura.
Then, golden paint dots emanated from the tip of Chen Yuan's sword finger, and the sword finger turned into a pen, forming a seal in the void in front of him, writing a letter and reporting it to the Three Officials of Heaven, Earth and Water. Then, he held a emerald green seal in his other hand and stamped the letter.
This is a kind of imperial seal!
Immediately, the densely packed golden characters in the void sank into the half-foot square bronze seal, floating up and down.
The bronze seal suddenly released a fascinating and mysterious aura and continued to vibrate. The rust on it was like boiling dust, rolling and bubbling. Then, the small golden characters sank into the seal, as if they were deeply sunk into it.
This process lasted about half a cup of tea.
Nothing unexpected happened.
The decree process went smoothly.
Finally, the bronze seal flew into the well and quickly disappeared.
Chen Yuan sensed that the seal entered the underground river and sank about a thousand meters underground in Qingshan County. Then a green light was emitted.
Soon, Chen Yuan stood on the ground and felt the ground shaking slightly. It lasted for only a breath and then disappeared quickly, like an illusion.
Chen Yuan sensed it carefully, then used his magic eyes to scan the depths of the well, and then looked at those magic poisons. In his field of vision, those nematodes that were wriggling like sparks, at this time, were like red-hot irons being extinguished by water, and they turned black, curled up into a ball, and fell into silence.
Immediate results!
Chen Yuan nodded, and then he decided to see how to find and kill the human demon!
He pressed down the hat on his head, brushed the falling snowflakes off his shoulders, then put his hands behind his back and turned around.
Lian Nishang, who was waiting a few feet away, stepped forward and said, "Brother."
"The magic Gu has been suppressed. Next we have to find the human demon. A group of Fang family members came to Qingshan County. Do you think it was an ancestor of the Fang family who first discovered the magic Gu?" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of an arc appeared in his eyes.
"Well, after I received the news that Mr. Wu was missing, I rushed back and found Miss Qingzhu in front of my brother's courtyard. Miss Qingzhu told me about the magic Gu." Lian Nishang recounted the general situation again, this time in more detail, and also recounted the process of meeting the ancestor of the Fang family.
Chen Yuan was thoughtful after listening to this. He groaned for a while and said, "You went to see the ancestor of the Fang family and confirmed the matter of the magic poison. Then you blocked all the water sources in the city. Then there was the matter of the mountain temple. The other party seemed to have known that you would come. This means that the other party knows your every move."
"Come on, let's go meet the ancestor of the Fang family. Maybe he has had contact with the human-demon. Let's see if we can find some clues."
"Moreover, the demon didn't know that I appeared in Qingshan County. Yesterday, Musashi was captured by me and no news was heard. I think the demon must have been alarmed. If the beast suspects anything, it is likely to suspect the Fang family members."
"But whether my speculation is correct or not, we all have to go through this 1"
Chen Yuan made some speculations in a calm tone. Regardless of whether his speculation was correct or not, there were a total of these people in Qingshan County, and these people were all unstable elements, so he would naturally come to their doorstep.
Moreover, it was said that the so-called Fang family was here to look for the night ship. The group of people that Chen Yuan met on the way from Tianxiong Pass also had the same target.
There really is a kind of coincidence that is hard to explain!
"Before meeting the ancestor of the Fang family, Nichang heard from Miss Qingzhu that the ancestor of her family had unfathomable strength and had been at the peak of the Wushang for many years, but he failed in his seclusion and wanted to seek an opportunity. Brother, you should be careful." Lian Nichang reminded her at this time.
"Oh?"
Just as Chen Yuan used the bronze seal to issue an imperial decree, causing the magic poison in Qingshan County to fall silent,
A few minutes ago, in the mountain temple on Songqiao Mountain, 200 miles northeast of Qingshan County, a figure wearing a lotus crown walked out of the dilapidated mountain temple, staring gloomily at a pool of water with a diameter of several dozen meters outside.
There was half a pool of snow water inside!
The ground around the pool was covered with cracks as thick as arms, extending for hundreds of meters.
The traces of last night's battle were almost completely washed away by the rain, but some traces still remained.
Last night, Ren Tianxing saw that Li Boya, who had gone out to kill someone, had not returned for a long time, and sensed something was wrong. It would not be surprising if the other party killed a patrol captain and an old man.
He became suspicious and started searching in the direction where Li Boya disappeared in the second half of the night. After some effort, he appeared here.
The place was in a mess as if a great battle had taken place there, but he did not find any useful clues, as if they had been deliberately erased.
Ren Tianxing's intuition told him that something had happened to Li's Musashi!
The person who could make Musashi disappear could not help but have a gloomy look in his eyes. Could it be that the old monster from Qingshan County did it?
Just as Ren Tianxing's demonic eyes were flashing gloomily, suddenly, his golden pupils shrank into golden lines, and then the golden lines twisted wildly like a worm.
His demon pupils instantly felt like they were being pricked by needles. A sharp pain came over him, causing him to utter a painful groan in his throat. He couldn't help but close his eyes. The next second, a streak of golden tears flowed from the corners of the demon's eyes.
After a while, the demon opened his eyes, and his eye sockets became extremely terrifying.
The golden pupil now became the size of a needle tip.
"Who?"
Ren Tianxing let out a scream of shock and anger from his throat, and his needle-like golden pupils emitted a terrifying light.
"Why can't my Gu mother contact Qingshan County?"
He realized that something went wrong with the magic poison he had planted in Qingshan County, which caused the mother body in his eyes to be severely damaged.
At the same time, it made him suspicious.
According to the reaction of the Gu mother, most of the poisonous insects she planted should have been in trouble, but her magic Gu was spread throughout Qingshan County. This shouldn't be the case. What the hell is this thing? It is definitely not something that can be done by ordinary means.
The Li family's Wusang disappeared last night, and now his own magic Gu also had problems. Ren Tianxing was shocked and angry, thinking that it was really the dying old guy from the Fang family who was taking action.
Because they both didn't follow each other's warnings?
"court death!"
Ren Tianxing almost gritted his teeth, revealing his sharp fangs, and roared out a low sound that was not like a human voice from his throat, and his terrifying pupils showed a look of madness.
He decided to leave it alone.
He had originally planned to sacrifice the people of Qingshan County as bait to avenge the attack on Wubao Mountain and thereby open up the passage, but now it seems that he is going to bleed heavily.
But so what, everyone has to die anyway.
By then, the entire Shu area, and even the entire martial arts world, will know what he has done.
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxing laughed wildly.
Then, his figure slowly disappeared into the air, leaving no trace.
Only the creepy, spine-chilling laughter was wandering in the wind and snow, shaking the mountains and forests.
"You, who are you?"
"Why did you arrest us?"
"I am the governor of the north city. I have a close relationship with the county magistrate, Mr. Zhang. What are you doing?"
"."
In a guest room at Qingshan Inn, more than a dozen people woke up one after another from the floor of the room, including men, women, young and old.
There were wealthy masters wearing official robes, and there were ordinary people wearing coarse linen clothes.
After everyone woke up, they saw several mighty men guarding the door, and in front of them was an octagonal table.
Sitting at the table was a woman wearing a pink dress and with a bright complexion!
"Tell them all to shut up!"
The woman looked at this group of unruly people with a look of condescension in her eyes, and she scolded them impatiently with a scrutinizing gaze.
As soon as she finished speaking, a man in black immediately flashed and moved through the crowd.
Soon, several screams of pain were heard.
Several people who had spoken in anger suddenly felt their legs go weak and were forced to their knees on the ground, screaming in pain.
This scared all these people.
He didn't know what had happened to him. He shrank back, lowered his head in fear, and dared not say a word.
Seeing that everything had quieted down, the woman nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, the man in black who had just taken action came to the side of the woman and bowed, "Miss, these people are the target candidates found in Qingshan County. I heard that they have all dreamed of the ship, more than once or twice. Some of them have amazing overlaps. It doesn't sound fake."
"Well, it's a good job! I'll go down and claim my reward later."
"I dare not. We are all trying to relieve our ancestors' worries!" The man in black bowed quickly.
The woman smiled and said "not bad", then looked at the people of Qingshan County who were either paralyzed or kneeling in front of her, and her expression quickly turned cold.
"I heard that everyone in your Qingshan County once boarded a ship. Then, after you woke up, did you dream about it again?"
"If you can help find these locations, I will reward you handsomely. If you don't report it, I'll be sorry."
At this time, an old man who looked like a master stood up, stood at attention,
"Life is like a dream. How can we know whether it is true or false? This is Qingshan County. It has its own laws. Aren't you afraid of reporting to the authorities? This is not a place you can bully for no reason!" (End of this chapter)
