Chapter 10 Castle Peak Two Years Later
Time flies, and two more years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The world is still the same, and there is no time for too many changes to happen.
The underworld is very quiet, and it has been a long time since I saw the trace of soul fire in the sun.
Snow Country is also very silent. It seems that after a series of battles, even the ice and snow monsters known for their cruelty and bloodthirsty need to breathe.
The military and civilians of Beijun and the man in Gudao Town finally ushered in a complete war-free year.
There is nothing big happening overseas. I just heard that a magic ship on Penglai Island suddenly encountered a storm when exploring the Mingquan secret realm, one of the three major vortexes. Although he luckily broke free from the swallowing of the big vortex, he collided with an iceberg.
If it weren't for some hero from a different continent who crossed the sea to rescue, I was afraid that the magic ship would sink into the cold seabed.
After this story was spread to Chaotian Continent, it was denounced as a ridiculous lie by many people because except those strong practitioners above the Bohai Realm, no one can understand many details in this story, such as what does that hero crossing the sea mean, and how can a person save a divine ship as heavy as mountains and rivers?
This is also common, people often believe only what they are willing to believe.
Until now, some mortals still insist that there is no monk in the world, which is the same principle.
Whether people believe it or not, some things will happen eventually.
For example, Haizhou City is about to usher in another feast of the Four Seas held by the Xiwangsun.
At the same time, a meeting was being held in a secret yamen in the city.
This year's winter is coming to an end, and there is no more snow in Chaoge City. Haizhou is on the banks of the West Sea. The climate is warm and it is as intoxicating as spring.
Looking at the indifferent faces of those monks, Shi Toyochen suddenly wanted to get drunk and stopped thinking about these things. It was just that he had not drunk for two years after he was transferred.
He knew that if Haizhou City had not held the Four Seas Banquet, he would not have invited so many practitioners based on the Qingtiansi and his face, let alone those disciples of the sect.
"I've been promoted for two years."
Shi Toyoto-chen said to the monks, but his face was not filled with joy.
Except for two small sects who didn't know the inside story, the other sects did not respond.
The monks respect the royal family, but they do not have any court officials in their eyes, even if Shi Toyoto-chen is not an ordinary official.
What's more, Shi Toyoto-chen was promoted from the head of Chaonan City to deputy inspector of Qingtian Department. It seems to be promoted, but many people know why.
"My deputy inspector is investigating this case. If I can't catch those two demons this time, I'll be done."
Shi Toyoto-chen's eyes swept across everyone and said, "I really have no influence on your sects, but if I am sure I will be done, I may have to use my last effort to influence the quota distribution of the court."
Hearing this, the expressions of cultivators from sects such as Daze remained unchanged, while those cultivators from small sects were a little anxious.
Whether it is crystal stone or other spiritual resources, the shares were allocated by the imperial court, Zhongzhou Sect, Qingshan Sect, Daze, Xihai and other major sects.
Of course, those sects are not worried that the court will lose their own offerings, but what should they do if these small sects do?
Shi Toyoto-chen really wants to do something ruthless before stepping down. Even if it only reduces the supply of crystal stones by 10%, it will have a great impact on those small sects.
A monk from a small sect said with a bitter face: "Sir, just say whatever you have to give me, why do you have to do this?"
Shi Toyoto-chen said: "I am very clear about the meaning. The strong men of the court either guarded the center in Chaoge City, or fought against the strong men of the Snow Country in Zhenbei Army. Now the Qingtian Department is only one empty shell left. There is really no way to deal with the two demons, so I have to be honest and ask you to help me."
The monk asked in surprise: "Where do those two demons come from?"
"No one knows."
Shi Toyo-chen waved his hand, and a clear light fell on the wall, like a piece of white paper, with more than ten lines of dense handwriting on it.
"It was in Shangzhou that the two demons killed four people. After investigation, they had never even met the four people. They should have committed arbitrary crimes. Then they were in the south city. They killed four disciples of the Sandu Sect and left some clues."
Shi Toyoto continued: "In the next two years, these two demons committed crimes one after another, killing more than 70 people, including innocent ordinary people and practitioners. Most of them had no reason to commit crimes. Just like the first time, they seemed to do whatever they wanted, which shows how cruel their minds were."
Many people noticed the case of Chaonancheng and subconsciously looked at an old man sitting in the middle.
The old man had gray hair and a deep breath, which was He Zhichong, the elder of Kunlun Sect.
An elder came to the Kunlun Sect, who had never attended the Sihai Banquet. It seems that it should be related to the case in Chaonan City.
He Zhichong didn't say anything. The Sandu Sect is a vassal of the Kunlun Sect. If only a few low-level disciples were killed, he would not have come forward at all. It was just that the young master of the Sandu Sect suffered a lot because of this matter and held a grudge afterwards. He told the head of the Sandu Sect to ask Kunlun for help, so he had to leave this incident.
Someone asked, "What is the realm of those two demons?"
Shi Toyoto-chen said: "In the early autumn of last year, Master Zhugui, the host of Heilong Temple, was killed by the devil across a green mountain. I am afraid that the other party is already in the middle of the Qing Dynasty."
Listening to this, everyone looked different.
Zhu Gui, the host of Heilong Temple, has a very bad reputation. I don’t know how many wealthy businessmen have deceived him to lose their fortunes, and even the poor people’s treatment of illnesses. There are even rumors that he has a private daughter and does everything he wants. However, this master has an old age with a certain concubine in the palace, and the various sects are inconvenient and troublesome, so he has never taken care of it.
After listening to Shi Toyoshi's words, I realized that this was the reason why Master Zhugui died suddenly last year.
Shi Toyoto-chen knew what everyone was thinking, frowned slightly, and stopped talking about this matter, saying, "The two demons never started, so there were no clues. They only knew that they were tall and short, one man and one woman, covered their faces with gray cloth and used flying swords. I wonder what you think?"
Just these clues, what ideas can you have?
It's quiet.
"It has nothing to do with us anyway."
The middle-aged man who spoke was dark-skinned. He was a monk from Daze, named Zuo Yuzhe.
Everyone thought it was really nonsense. Daze practiced the Taoist Dharma of Fengyu, of course it had nothing to do with you.
Zuo Yuzun continued, "Since he is using a sword, he is just a few of them, such as Bu Lao Lin, Wurong Sect, and Xihai."
Shi Toyoto-chen shook his head and said, "Although the assassin of Bulao Lin is sinister and vicious, he will not act so presumptuously. As for the mercy-free door..."
He didn't finish his words, but everyone understood what he meant.
In recent years, Wurongmen has been suppressed by the West Sea very hard, so I have no mood to stir up trouble in the world.
Logically speaking, the strength of Wuhen Sect and Xihai Sword Sect is almost the same as that of Xihai, and Wuhen Sect's foundation is far better than that of Xihai. However, Xihai has a sword god, so there is nothing to do about it. As for Xihai... Although there is no sword cultivator in the field, this is Haizhou, and Xihai is powerful, who dares to blame it easily?
Someone suddenly said, "Why no one doubts the Qingshan Sect? The murder first occurred in Shangzhou, followed by Chaonan City, which is the territory of the Qingshan Sect."
Everyone was surprised and thought that this person was so kind that he dared to doubt the Qingshan Sect.
Only after you see who that person is, everyone will understand the reason.
The man was named Takesuke, who was the murdered lay brother of Takei, who was the host of Heilong Temple. He was also a famous casual cultivator in Zhongzhou. He heard that he had a good relationship with the Xihai Sword Sect.
Thinking of these things, everyone's eyes naturally fell into an inconspicuous corner.
There were two young people sitting there.
The two of them were wearing blue sword robes and never spoke from beginning to end, so they were very low-key.
The one with a calm expression was named Yao Songshan, who was the eleventh disciple of the Qingshan Sect’s Liangwang Peak.
The younger disciple is named Lin Yingliang. He is now learning swordsmanship in Shiyuefeng, and this time he is taken out to practice.
Yao Songshan looked over there, without saying anything, but her eyes were extremely sharp, as if they were real swords.
But Lin Yingliang couldn't help but stared at Takesuke and said, "Do you want to die?"
