XLV. Identity
In the wide courtyard dotted with many verdant plants, pavilions and rockeries are interspersed, and the houses and ancient buildings are scattered high and low, any place is more beautiful and elegant than any garden, but there is no refreshing atmosphere here, but it is full of solemnity. There are few three-story ancient buildings in the courtyard, and there is a plaque with the words "Chacha Division" on the door of the deepest building, so there are still some people entering and leaving the houses in the courtyard late at night, but there is no close figure around this ancient building.
This is the main building of the "Inspection Division" in the Dharma Temple, which is responsible for investigating and judging and dealing with various incidents related to the Dao and Dharma realm.
As one of the three divisions alongside the "Garrison Division" and the "Dispatch Division", the "Inspection Division" has greater powers than the other two divisions, but it has always been low-key and secretive, and the main building is usually inaccessible, not to mention that it is now midnight, and it is normal for people to be uninhabited.
However, at this moment, in the only room on the third floor, there were eight figures sitting solemnly.
Putting away the extinguished Yaozhu in his hand, Zhang Hanguang, who was sitting at the round table, glanced at the others and spoke in a deep voice.
"I have heard what Haiyun said just now, if you have anything else, please hurry up and finish speaking, the juniors over there won't last long."
can make Zhang Hanguang treat him in such a serious tone, and the identities of everyone present are naturally clear at a glance.
The elders of the five worlds were all present, but none of them were in the first seat, but there were three middle-aged people with solemn faces, but none of the elders of the five worlds had an opinion on this, because all three of them had the same badge on their collars.
The head of the Sun family, who had a cold expression, looked at the middle-aged man at the head. He spoke to him in a voice that was almost undulating: "Master Chen, you go on." β
When the leader heard this, he bowed politely to the head of the Sun family, and then glanced at the two people sitting on his left and right.
These three people. It is the three heads of the Inspectorate Division.
There are not many people who can make the five family masters listen so attentively, not to mention the Dharma Realm, even if you add the mortal world, I am afraid that there are only a very few people, and these three masters belong to that very small part.
Although the overall status is not as good as that of the five elders who are the heads of the five great families, in some respects, the head of the inspectorate has rights that the five great families cannot match, coupled with the special nature of their positions. These three people have always been highly respected in the Dao Dharma realm, and their words are also extremely weighty, so they can sit on an equal footing with the elders of the world. Even slightly higher.
Knowing that the time was tight on the academy's side, Chen Zhangsi did not let the five world elders wait, and after reaching a consensus with the two masters beside him with a faint glance, he looked at the five elders. Speak in a deep voice.
"Then I'll continue. Nightmare have been moving strangely lately. Not only is the number of the academy increasing, but also in the mortal world, although the number in the mortal world has decreased sharply before, but during this time they have begun to increase again, although under the supervision of the executors and the elders, they cannot make any big waves, but this is not a good sign. Moreover, their actions are no longer as chaotic as before, but gradually converge in one place. Behavior has also become regular, and the demons in some areas are even as disciplined as armies. Someone is clearly gathering them for control. And that person is most likely the 'devil'. β
Zhang Longqian and the others had already reported the matter of the demon to the student association, and the Dharma Hall naturally learned the details from the elder council in charge of the academy, so when they heard Chen Zhangsi mention the "demon", the five elders did not seem surprised, and the head of the Zuo family, Zuo Yanning, asked solemnly: "Is there any clue about the identity of the demon?" β
Chen Zhangsi was silent, and the Zhangsi sitting on his left side replied: "There is no record in the Dharma Palace, but after calling up the ancient books from a long time ago, I finally found some clues, and it can be determined that the 'demon' has also appeared in the past, but it is more than a thousand years ago, and it is not clear whether this 'demon' is its heir or himself, but considering the relevant records known...... There is a high probability that it is me. β
Can people from a thousand years ago survive to the present?
No one questioned this, because everyone here understood that since the head of the inspectorate would say such a seemingly absurd thing, there must be sufficient evidence.
"I don't know what the 'relevant records' Cao Zhangsi is talking about?"
Glancing at the few people present, Cao Zhangsi's face was solemn and he spoke in a deep voice.
"'Forge a dark treasure in five days, like a sword rather than a sword, not afraid of the five elements, sharp and unparalleled, and then disappear'."
There was a moment of silence, and everyone's eyes showed a look of astonishment.
Even though the name of the weapon was not clearly named, everyone understood what it was described.
ββThere is no second secret treasure in this world that is not afraid of the five elements.
The air became solemn and oppressive for a moment, and a low sigh that could not be concealed could not be concealed came from someone's mouth.
ββ¦β¦ Five Elements Sword. β
Every word is extremely heavy, but it is exactly what is written in the hearts of five well-informed old people today.
It is no wonder that the three leaders deduced that these two "demons" who were thousands of years apart were most likely the same person.
Although the Five Elements Sword was once the weapon of the Demon King "Wolf King", so that everyone in the Dao Law Realm could not figure out its specific ability, but in countless encounters with the Wolf King, the power of the Five Elements Sword was undoubted, and even the Seven True Persons who cultivated the "Supreme Heavenly Dao" had to avoid its edge, and finally defeated the Wolf King under the joint efforts.
The power of the secret treasure is closely related to the strength of the maker himself, if he can make a secret treasure of the level of the Five Elements Sword, the strength of that person can be imagined, and it is not completely impossible to survive until now.
Moreover, now the demon who transformed the human being into a demon is also like the Five Elements Sword, not afraid of the Five Elements.
However, all the clues are only from the documents, and it is a bit inappropriate to believe it completely, so the head of the Sun family asked coldly: "The three heads must have seen it in person, I don't know how accurate those documents are?" β
The master on the right, who had not spoken, replied decisively: "All of them are hidden on the top floor of the Academy's Wave Stopping Pavilion. β
"In other words, the authenticity is beyond doubt......" After muttering, the head of the Sun family looked at Zhang Hanguang, "Hanyang Zhenren, I'm afraid we have to change our approach." β
He didn't say anything that needed to be changed, but everyone in the audience understood what he meant, so the elders opened their mouths in a deep groan.
"The head of the Sun family is right, this is no longer a matter of 'controlling the Five Elements Sword in your hand so that you can deal with the Yin and Yang Eyes at any time', if the Five Elements Sword is really a ...... made by this demon."
"The Five Elements Sword must be controlled as soon as possible."
"If Hanyang Zhenren can't bear it......"
A pair of eagle eyes were full of gloomy and cold colors, the head of the Cang family squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Hanguang, and before he finished speaking, Zhang Hanguang spoke calmly.
"There is no need for the head of the Cang family to remind him, the old man knows what to do."
With just one sentence, he stopped everyone's words, Zhang Hanguang looked at the other three family heads, and then looked at the three masters: "Is there anything else important for the three of you?" β
"Nope."
"Then, the time on the academy side is pressing, and the old man will take the first step."
Looking at Zhang Hanguang, who got up and strode away after speaking, no one made a sound to stop him, only a solemn aura permeated the entire room. (To be continued.) )
