Chapter 212: The Divine Detective
"That's right... the white ape has swallowed the elixir and has become powerful. I can't easily take it down..."
Fang Xian nodded.
Tong Hezi and others felt as if they were suddenly enlightened.
This world has long been cut off from the connection between heaven and earth. There is no spiritual energy and no way to practice cultivation. Where do the monsters come from?
Now, the appearance of the white ape has an explanation.
It turns out that the opportunity and the root lie in this immortal.
When several old Taoists heard about the efficacy of the 'Nine-turn Jade Liquid Golden Pill', their eyes lit up: "Immortal, please allow me to report. The white ape is in Bailiang Mountain, tempting the mountain people to cause chaos. We are willing to serve you and get rid of this evildoer... And the elixir, do you want to refine it again? We are also willing to help you and search for materials..."
Tong Hezi rolled his eyes and cursed inwardly: "What a bunch of old people, you have no shame... The immortals made the elixir, the materials are so precious, how dare you boast that you found it?"
At this time, he also smiled and said: "This place is simple, immortal, if you are willing to move to Tongxuan Mountain, my temple will offer you all the offerings..."
"this……"
Fang Xian showed a slight hesitation on his face: "If my monkey is not restrained, I'm afraid it will cause chaos..."
"To be honest, I have seen that the spiritual pet once extorted some Taoist scriptures from me. But in my opinion, although the spiritual pet is very powerful, it has not yet become a demon king. The immortal can rest assured for the time being." Tong Hezi said hurriedly.
"oh?"
Fang Xian's heart moved, and he acted mysterious.
Tong Hezi really spoke the truth: "According to the ancient secrets that only the abbot of this temple can pass on, the so-called 'Demon King' must have the authority to summon all the monsters. Without this authority, he can be powerful at best, but he cannot gather the monsters and enlighten the spirits, so it's not a big deal..."
After he said this, Fang Xian seemed to understand something.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly the reason... The third transformation of my Gangsha Nine Transformations should be 'Gathering Beasts and Teasing Birds', which is the authority to summon all beasts and enlighten their intelligence?"
The power of an individual is limited, so we must summon all the beasts to serve as our wings.
This is the truth Fang Xian learned from this world.
There is something to be desired in any world.
"In addition, the Divine Constable and the special envoys sent by the imperial court will also arrive, which will also be a force to be reckoned with." Tong Hezi sold some confidential information without thinking.
"Well, let's go to Tongxuan Mountain and stay for a few days..."
Fang Xian looked at Tong Hezi, as if he could see through the old Taoist's thoughts, but he agreed with a smile.
…
Post station.
Several carrier pigeons flapped their wings one after another and hurriedly fell into the pigeon cage.
"What's going on? Zhengyang Prefecture has received so many urgent reports all at once. Could it be that the bandits have breached another county town?"
A black-clad clerk muttered to himself, took the secret report, checked to make sure it was sealed properly, then quickened his pace, entered a courtyard at the back, and knelt on one knee: "My Lords, we have an urgent report from Zhengyang Prefecture!"
"It seems that things have changed?"
Taoists Miao Yu and Bao Shi were brewing tea. They were startled when they heard this and said, "Go and ask the detective Ni to come here."
The incident in Dazheng County not only angered the imperial court, it openly ordered troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion, and secretly sent many masters. Miaoyu and Baoshi were only from the Taoist sect, in addition, there were also masters from the Divine Capture Department.
This Shenbu Division was founded by Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It gathers experts from all sides and has the power to investigate, arrest, and report individually. It is only responsible to the emperor, which is another form of "Jinyiwei", the emperor's eyes and ears.
If there is a secret report, of course the person must be present to prove innocence.
Not long after, a constable wearing a fifth-rank official uniform arrived.
This is Detective Ni, who is very famous in the capital and has a nickname called "Red-eyed Golden Lion". Not only is he a top martial artist, but he is also an expert in handling cases. Countless notable criminals have fallen under his hands. He was awarded the title of Fifth Rank Gold Seal Detective.
At this time, behind Captain Ni were his two apprentices as guards. He glanced at the two Taoists with his hawk-like eyes and felt a little displeased.
Although Detective Ni is from the Shenbo Division, he likes reading and has some Confucian qualities.
In fact, he was quite dissatisfied with the emperor's closeness to Taoists and other miscellaneous people, but he did not dare to write to the emperor, so he could only vent his anger on the Taoists.
But at least he knew how to get things done, so he asked, "Any urgent reports?"
“That’s right…”
Taoist Miao Yu showed the seal to Constable Ni before opening it. He just glanced at it with a slightly changed expression.
Immediately, he opened another bamboo tube and looked at it again. His breathing became slightly heavier.
This strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of the Taoist priest Bao Shi who was standing nearby. He was curious about what made his old friend so serious.
Ni Shenfei took it and also twitched his face: "Is there an immortal in Zhengyang Prefecture? He has the ability to turn stone into gold? That white ape is his lost pet? He actually used fake gold to cause chaos in the prefecture and almost bankrupted several families. He is indeed a monster!"
“Ahem…”
Bao Shi coughed and said, "That's a bit too much, but this immortal named Fang really appeared out of nowhere. I know a thing or two about the major inheritances of our Taoist sect. I wonder what lineage he belongs to?"
He looked at Miao Yu and found that his friend was also confused, but vaguely excited: "In any case, Tong Hezi from Tong Xuan Temple has some insight and knowledge. He said that he is a true immortal, so he must be extraordinary. We should pay him a visit. This is also for the official business of His Majesty."
"In that case, when we get to Zhengyang Prefecture, I will go with you to visit that ' immortal'!"
Detective Ni touched something in his sleeve, sneered, and walked out of the courtyard.
"I look at this man's face... Although he has some good fortune, he has a lot of bad luck and will cause terrible disasters. I'm afraid his future will be bad and he may even be wiped out..."
Bao Shi waited until Detective Ni left and could no longer hear his voice, then suddenly spoke.
"Of course... This person has always been disrespectful to our sect, and this time he probably wants to offend the immortal... Naturally, all his fortune will be reduced, not to mention that he didn't have much to begin with..."
Master Miaoyu also sneered.
Constable Ni holds the fifth-rank official position and is truly immune to all evil. With his martial arts skills , he can kill gods and Buddhas. Even though they are both imperial envoys, he is not very respectful along the way.
In fact, if they really take action, even if Miaoyu and Baoshi join forces, they may not be able to take down this man.
This is the embarrassment of Taoism today.
"So... he is really an immortal? He has really become an immortal? Is there a way to immortality in this world?"
Taoist Baoshi was silent for a long time and suddenly asked.
"Who knows?" Miao Yu replied, "But I think that Ni Shenbu will definitely go to challenge the immortal, and maybe even use that thing... By then, we will know its quality at a glance."
"This is... the great way..."
Bao Shi felt a little excited but also a little nervous.
For a true practitioner, as long as he can live forever and enjoy freedom, what does imperial power matter?
Before, I was unable to transcend and could only drift in the mundane world, so I had to pretend to be nice to others.
Is there any other hope at this time?
