Chapter 20: Su Jing
"It seems that once the Self-Sacrifice Seal was released, its foundation has been damaged."
The man in purple official uniform sighed, "Master Shenxiu is indeed a disciple of the Dafan Temple. His Buddhist practice is profound and admirable."
Suddenly he turned to look at Li Xuance: "Great, Li Xuance, I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have such a hidden trick? You even hid it from me!"
“…”
I said I don’t know either, do you believe it?
Li Xuance's expression remained unchanged, and he remained indifferent: "Although the Goddess of Yanshan has retreated, Wujun City has suffered a lot of damage and is troubled by many things. I'm afraid you, the Chief Justice, don't have so much free time, right?"
"you……"
The purple official looked stagnant, and suddenly sighed: "Alas, this time I went with the flow, but the price was too high. Just to justify my actions, I imprisoned the Goddess of Yanshan in the Demon Suppression Tower."
"If it weren't for the unrest on all sides, with the Rong and Di tribes in the west and north deploying troops to plunder the borders, and the Yi and Man tribes in the east and south colluding with demons to disrupt our country, we should first stabilize the country before fighting against foreign enemies. Your Majesty intended to use military force on all sides, but before that, he had to pacify the demons in the world, as well as those immortals...why would you take such a risky move?"
Li Xuance said calmly: "Your Majesty is a man of great talent and strategy. You will make the decision. We just need to follow your orders."
The man in purple official uniform opened his mouth, then nodded dejectedly.
He said goodbye and left in a hurry.
Not only Wu County, but also the surrounding areas were affected by the disaster. The aftermath of the disaster could not be handled without the help of the Ministry of Justice and him, the Chief Constable of Nanzhou.
Li Xuance turned around, his eyes cold and swept across the Blade Prison.
"I didn't expect that my Sujing Division would be so full of talented people..."
"interesting……"
…
Thousands of miles away from Wu County, deep in the 8,000-mile Qinling Mountains, there is an ancient pool.
It is called a pond, but it is as vast as a huge lake or ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see.
It is shrouded in misty fog and clouds all year round, making it difficult to see its true appearance.
This pond is the source of the Jing River, which runs across Daji for 9,000 miles from east to west, and is named Laolongtan.
Beside Laolongtan, there is a majestic peak thousands of feet high, named Longpan Mountain.
At this time, on the top of the mountain, in the misty clouds, white mist suddenly surged and rolled, as if being pushed away by an invisible force.
A majestic and tall figure slowly walked out from the depths of the clouds.
Standing on the top of the cliff, you can overlook the boundless Dragon Pond.
He was dressed in black, with messy black hair swaying in the wind.
He murmured as if talking to himself: "You should thank that person, otherwise that ignorant and foolish woman and you will both die."
"My soul has been scattered, and thousands of years of practice have vanished into thin air."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around, walked step by step into the misty clouds, and slowly disappeared.
At the foot of the cliff, in the bottomless dragon pool, two pairs of huge eyes suddenly lit up, one pair was as bright as the golden sun, the other pair was as clear as the jade moon, hidden in the abyss, looming.
"hold head high……"
A low roar like a sigh gently shook the dragon pond.
The giant eye slowly sank to the bottom of the pool and disappeared.
…
There was fatigue and weakness in Jiang Zhou's eyes.
The amount of mana required to activate a magical weapon of the level of Taiyi Wuyanluo is difficult to measure.
Although he has no magical power, because of the existence of the Ghost and God Atlas, Taiyi Wuyanluo is connected to him.
He can use his qi and blood to force it to move.
But now he is not even at the entry level, and it is difficult for his flesh and blood to even move.
Especially in order to stop the goddess from going crazy, the area covering a hundred miles of Wu County was far beyond his limit.
If it weren't for Long Chu protecting his heart, and if the Ghost and God Atlas hadn't suddenly appeared and consumed the two demon spirits that had been collected before, he would probably have died of exhaustion.
Only now did he realize that the real spirits recorded in the Ghost and God Atlas could be used in this way.
The emperor issued an edict to reward and kill ghosts, and to seal the spirits and invite the gods.
He already knew what the first four words meant, but he still didn't know what the last four words meant.
But nine times out of ten, it is related to the number of true spirits included.
Although he escaped the disaster, Jiang Zhou is still physically and mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, in such a catastrophe, although not everyone in the Sujing Division was exhausted, they were almost exhausted, and no one was suspicious.
Wu County was in ruins after the disturbance by the goddess of Yanshan.
The Sujing Division was almost at a standstill.
However, what surprised Jiang Zhou was that the efficiency of the various government offices in Wu County was also astonishingly high.
In just a few days, Wu County had returned to normal.
Although many damaged houses have not yet been rebuilt, the people in the city have actually resumed their normal lives.
Today he followed the Demon Patrol Guards to inspect the city.
After this disaster, many troubles arose, and even the Sujing Division was dispatched to participate in the aftermath.
All of their knife-wielding men were also sent out to prevent the demons from taking advantage of the situation and sneaking in.
After this inspection, to Jiang Zhou's surprise, the casualties in Wujun City were far less than he had imagined.
In many places he saw ditches washed out by floods, as well as rafts made of animal skins and other objects.
At first glance, it is clear that it is prepared for flood discharge and life-saving.
And it was prepared very early.
Foresight, preparation?
Or...pre-calculation?
Jiang Zhou returned to Sujingsi with many questions and went straight to the public service kitchen.
He was already weak, and after a day's patrol, he was already extremely tired and so hungry that his hands and feet were weak.
"It's so scary. I didn't expect there would be such a monster in this world. It's really turning the world upside down and the sky and earth are collapsing!"
"I almost thought I was going to die. Before I entered the Sujing Division, I was a good fisherman in the village, known as the white shark in the waves! I'm going to die in the water? I'd rather be killed by the demons!"
"Fortunately, an immortal intervened, otherwise it would be disastrous!"
"How do you know it's an immortal? Where do immortals come from in this world? It must be the immortal masters of the Heavenly Monitoring Department who took action."
"How can he not be an immortal? With a wave of his hand, he could block the collapse of a huge sky with five-colored clouds covering hundreds of miles. If he is not an immortal, how can he have such ability?"
"How can it be so exaggerated? Hundreds of miles? Can you see that far?"
"I do not care!"
"I also know the Celestial Master of the Heavenly Guards. I heard that he is not as good as our General Li. Is he really capable of this?"
As soon as Jiang Zhou arrived at the public service kitchen, he heard the people holding the butchers talking.
Hearing that they thought Taiyi Wuyanluo was an immortal, he remained expressionless, took the food, sat aside and listened quietly.
"Ding Wuyi, I heard that the demons caused a flood to flood the city this time because of the rainbow you killed a few days ago?"
A man holding a knife suddenly sat down next to him and asked curiously.
Jiang Zhou was shocked: "Where did you hear that?"
The man holding the knife was someone he was quite familiar with, but his real name was unknown. His number was B36, very close to the front, so he must be a veteran.
Yi Sanliu was surprised and said, "You don't know? Yes, you have been sleeping for the past few days."
He carefully looked around, then leaned over and whispered, "Yesterday, when I heard that you had just woken up, several captains wanted to send people to arrest you. You did not follow the rules of the Sujing Division and caused a big disaster. You were going to be executed to comfort the people who had suffered and to quell the resentment of all parties in Nanzhou."
He said disdainfully: "Humph, I think those captains just wanted to find a scapegoat, and you were unlucky and ran into them. How could a newly-qualified little demon attract such a terrifying thing?"
Jiang Zhou's face suddenly changed.
