As soon as the scholar's yin spirit dispersed, the big hand holding Qi Xuansu also began to disintegrate, and Qi Xuansu fell back to the ground and regained his freedom.

At this point, He Nian was arrested, and the scholar, Bai Yongguan, Zhu Cheng, and Xia Chang were dead, leaving only Lin Zhenyuan and Wu Zhu Nu missing.

Qi Xuansu stepped forward and came to the scholar's corpse, flipped it for a while, and found that there was nothing on this guy, I don't know if the money was hidden somewhere, or if it was all handed over to the Lingshan Witch Sect.

Qi Xuansu is estimated to be the former situation, after all, he is a middle-level figure in the Lingshan Witch Sect, and he should have some private wealth, but he doesn't have Sumeru treasures, so he can't carry them with him, so he hides somewhere, and with the death of these people, Qi Xuansu is unlikely to get his hands on it, I don't know who will be cheaper.

But then again, even if you know that, according to the rules of the Daomen, these belong to the stolen money, and they must be handed over to the Daomen.

As for spiritual objects, they are quite common in the Dao Gate, but they are not so common outside the Dao Gate. Take Zhang Yuelu as an example, if she is not a member of the Dao Sect, even if she is an immortal, with her realm cultivation, it is impossible to have a Sumeru object. But in the Daomen, she was not only given a Sumeru object, but also a half-immortal object, you must know that the high-level of the Lingshan Witch Sect may not have a half-immortal object, this is the essence of the Daomen.

Therefore, you can't ask others to be based on the standards of the Daomen, and whether you can have a spiritual object before the heavenly people depends on your financial resources and luck.

After a short time, Zhang Yuelu came over, and saw Qi Xuansu standing in front of the scholar's corpse, although he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and sighed: "Tianyuan, you can always surprise me, compared to you, I feel a little incompetent, and I have a realm of cultivation, but I let a few demons escape from me." On the contrary, it was you, who defeated the strong with the weak, and really killed a few demons. ”

Qi Xuansu waved his hand again and again: "All the tough battles are fought by you personally, and I will just follow behind to pick up the leaks." ”

This is the truth, Qi Xuansu can beat scholars, relying on his majestic qi and blood and surprise, but it will be difficult for him to be effective against Lin Zhenyuan, Zhu Cheng, Xia Chang and others. In the final analysis, it is still up to Zhang Yuelu to fight all the way through with real knives and guns, and it is precisely because of the repeated fierce battles that Zhang Yuelu fell into a situation of near exhaustion. If Zhang Yuelu was in his heyday, this scholar would not be able to withstand a few swords.

Qi Xuansu saw that Zhang Yuelu was still going to speak, and interrupted: "Don't praise each other between you and me, and when you get to the real person in the hall, it's not too late to give me a few more kind words." ”

Zhang Yuelu said with a smile: "First destroy this underground palace, and then I will report to the real person in charge." ”

While he was talking, with the death of the scholar, the rest of the demons of the Lingshan Witch Sect were also completely defeated, some knelt down and surrendered, and some stubbornly resisted to the end and were beaten to death by the black-clothed man. After all, there are no shortage of good players among the black-clothed people and Qingluan Guard, and there are many of them, and they are good at fighting in battle formations, even if there are one or two innate people in the Lingshan Witch Sect, they are also besieged to death.

Wang Zicheng instructed Qingluan Wei to cremate the heads piled up into a hill on the spot, and then asked the men in black to place explosives around the statue of the god Wuluo, and at the same time escorted the surrendered Lingshan witch demons out of the place in turn.

After the Qingluan guards searched again, they did not find Lin Zhenyuan and the witch girl, it seems that they are not here, and they have not found anything useful, such as the list of demons, I think it is all on Lin Zhenyuan's body, this is also the normal state of exterminating all kinds of demons, demons rarely put their own situation into words, it is difficult to uproot.

The rest of the black-clothed people and Qingluanwei transported the corpses to evacuate the underground palace, leaving only some of the black-clothed people and Zhang Yuelu, Qi Xuansu, Wang Zicheng, Zhao Qianzong and others.

Zhao Qian commanded his subordinates to blow up the idol of Wu Luo, and in the loud bang, the underground palace shook, the rubble shot out, and the smoke and dust rose everywhere, and the statue of Wu Luo collapsed and became a ruin.

Then Zhao Qian asked his subordinates to place explosives in various load-bearing positions of the dungeon, intending to completely destroy the dungeon here.

In the end, Mr. Zhao Qian asked Zhang Yuelu and Wang Zicheng for instructions: "Master Zhang, Wang Zhenfu, can you withdraw from the underground palace?" ”

Wang Zicheng looked at Zhang Yuelu and asked for her opinion, after all, the people in the Dao Sect were experts in dealing with the Gu Immortal Society.

Zhang Yuelu looked around again and nodded: "There should be no problem, exit the dungeon." ”

Qi Xuansu, Zhang Yuelu and the others and the last group of black-clothed people began to withdraw from the underground palace in turn, leaving only the two of them to lay the lead.

After Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu returned to the ground, they found that the entire Xia Mansion had been sealed and guarded by Qingluanwei. In the courtyard far away from the underground palace, there are corpses, which are distinguished by the catchers, officials, and servants, and the corpses of the black-clothed man and Qingluanwei should be sorted out, the names recorded, the coffin prepared, and properly placed. The corpses of the Lingshan Witch Cult demons will be much haphazard, piled up in one place, just waiting for a fire to burn them.

The rest of the prisoners were all taken back to the local 100 households, and Qingluanwei was carefully interrogated afterwards.

Wang Zicheng has already sent someone to inform the local Qianhu Office, although Qianhu Lin Zhenyuan defected, there are still two deputy Qianhu can be directors, just one hundred households manpower, there is still a little shortage.

Zhang Yuelu found a secluded place and contacted the real person in the palm hall with the son and mother talisman.

Qi Xuansu stood far away, waiting for the result.

At this moment, the two black-clothed men who were in charge of laying the lead finally withdrew from the dungeon, and everyone began to leave the range of the dungeon in turn, so as not to be injured by mistake.

After the black-clothed man in charge of detonating the explosives consulted Mr. Zhao Qian, he detonated the explosives in the underground palace through the lead.

Qi Xuansu only felt a continuous muffled sound under his feet, the ground trembled and shook, and even several houses and walls collapsed directly.

After a few moments of this, the dungeon had been completely destroyed.

In addition, the county magistrate, county officials and other civil officials are also extremely busy, and there are not a few servants of the Xia family, those who die need to be buried and compensated, and those who are not dead need to be properly resettled.

As for how to settle them, the imperial court has set up a Puji Hall to adopt widows, widows, lonely, poor, sick, helpless, old, weak and disabled, and there are medical officers in the hospital who are responsible for diagnosing diseases. If there are children or those who intend to become monks, this involves the Vientiane Dao Palace, and the local government must communicate with the local provincial government after the case is concluded.

Qi Xuansu had never been involved in such a thing, so he could only stand aside with nothing to do.

After about a stick of incense, Zhang Yuelu ended the conversation with the real person in the palm hall and came to Qi Xuansu's side.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Two demon people in the Jade Void stage are equal to two 'Yellow Character Gong', and how many meritorious deeds are the demon leaders in the five True Restoration stages?" ”

Zhang Yuelu did not sell Guanzi: "Naturally, it is five 'Xuanzi Gong'." The real person in charge of the hall has been decided, the five leaders are considered to be from the Daomen, and the rest are from the imperial court. The credit for destroying the 'Divine Descent' is a joint effort between the two of us. ”

Qi Xuansu calculated: "The return to truth stage is 'Xuanzi Gong', the last time I made up a Diswin, it was also 'Xuanzi Gong', plus you and Lingquan are in charge, there are just three 'Xuanzi Gong', so wouldn't it be 'Earth Character Gong' to kill a demon who has cultivated as a celestial man alone?" ”

Zhang Yuelu nodded and continued: "I don't know how the imperial court records merit. On the Daomen side, destroying the Gu Immortals' 'Divine Descent' counts as one 'Earth Character Gong', that is, three 'Xuanzi Gong'. If there is a fraction of an integer, so in addition to half of the imperial court, there is still one 'Xuanzi Gong' and two 'Huangzi Gong', plus five leaders, a total of six 'Xuanzi Gong' and two 'Huangzi Gong'. ”

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said, "This time I was able to thwart the conspiracy of the Gu Immortal Demons, Qingxiao can be said to have made great contributions, and I just followed the side drum." Now that I have two 'Yellow Character Gong', as long as I am given one more 'Yellow Character Gong' and two 'Xuanzi Gong', I can make up three 'Xuanzi Gong', and the remaining four 'Xuanzi Gong' and one 'Yellow Character Gong' are all owned by Qingxiao. In this way, I will be able to directly ascend from a sixth-rank Taoist priest to a fifth-grade Taoist priest. ”

Zhang Yuelu shook his head and said: "How can it be so simple, although Daomen attaches great importance to young people, there is also a system of suspension of the year. ”

"What is the year-end system?" Qi Xuansu couldn't help asking.

"The so-called suspension system, to put it bluntly, is to boil seniority." Zhang Yuelu explained.

"Daomen has two systems of positions and grades, the positions are deacons, chiefs, deputy hall masters, etc., and the grades are the nine-grade Taoist system. For example, the deputy head of the teaching is a real person, the deputy head of the teaching is a position, and the grade is a naïve Taoist. ”

"It's okay when it's low-grade, the position and grade are not too tied, the seven-grade Taoist can be a deacon, and the fifth-grade Taoist can also be a deacon, and the span is quite large. But when it comes to high-grade Taoists, the two become inseparable. The most significant example is that the big palm is the position, and the super grade is the grade, and no one dares to separate the two, and make a super deputy head teacher, the super grade can only be the big palm teaching, and the big palm can only be the super grade. In the same way, no one dares to create a second-grade deputy head of the sect, these positions and grades must be tied together, so the position of a high-grade Taoist priest has also become a disguised grade, which is collectively called the ninth grade and the twelfth level. ”

"In this case, the 'suspension of the year' system, which is modeled after the ancient 'suspension of the year' system, came into being, and the promotion of grades was strictly limited by the suspension of the year. The so-called 'stop year' is the number of years that a certain grade must stay, that is, the minimum number of years. According to the regulations, the promotion of the seventh-grade Taoist to the sixth-grade Taoist must be suspended for one year in the seventh grade, the sixth-grade Taoist to the fifth grade must also be suspended for one year, the fifth grade to the fourth grade for two years, the fourth grade to the third grade for three years, and the third grade to the second grade with the selection and promotion. ”

"According to this calculation, a seventh-grade Taoist priest is promoted to a third-grade Taoist priest, no matter how talented and repeatedly he has made military exploits, it will take seven years at the earliest. As for the election and promotion system, in the vernacular, a radish and a pit, someone can come down, and someone can go up, and the specific number of years is difficult to say, as long as you are lucky, it will take a few years, and if you are unlucky, you will have to wait for more than ten years. ”

Qi Xuansu understood: "In this way, even if I hold three 'Xuanzi Gong', I can't be promoted to a fifth-grade Taoist priest immediately, and I have to stay in a six-grade Taoist priest for a year. ”

Zhang Yuelu nodded and said, "That's the case." ”
