"Your Highness, even if the law enforcement department where Shen and Mu are located are unanimously hostile to the upper echelons of the Eastern Earth Empire, and even disgusted by the Emperor, it is almost impossible for you to recruit them."

The bearded clerk Mephis spread his hands and said:

"The Dongtu people have a strong homeland complex, and the heroes of the Dongtu have a strong sense of family and country. They will not leave their homeland easily until they are cornered. Even if they really had to leave, Shen Hemu probably wouldn't go to the west, which was far away from their homeland.

"Don't forget, there is a kingdom established by the Dragon King in the South Seas, and the people of the country are still dominated by the people of the East. They could have taken refuge in the Dragon King, and perhaps one day, they could return to their homeland. ”

The girl with short blond hair and a golden crown smiled and said:

"I'm going to give it a try anyway. At the very least, try to build a good friendship with them first. So that in the future, when the demigods who walk on earth leave the world, and they lose their support, they may consider me. ”

Mephis shook his head:

"Your Highness, while I can understand your eagerness to recruit more men, with all due respect, you'd better not have too much hope for the warriors of the Eastern Lands."

The girl sighed lightly:

"I know. But I don't have many reliable men in the kingdom. They'd rather take refuge with my brother, who spends his days getting drunk in brothels, simply because he's the first in line to the throne of the kingdom......"

Mephis reminded:

"His Highness Helis is not only the first in line to the throne of the kingdom, he is also the godson of the archbishop of the 'King of the North Wind' church. The Church recognized his right to inheritance, and the archbishop promised to crown him with his own hands, and it is no surprise that he was the future king. ”

The girl pursed the corners of her lips disdainfully:

"Is a king who listens to the church of the 'King of the North Wind' and pleases him in every way a blessing for the kingdom? Don't talk about the anger of the king in him, even the pride of the red dragon is gone. After all, the church may need the kind of incompetent people who can only eat, drink and have fun, so that the church can grab more power. ”

Mephis said helplessly:

"The Western Continent is the kingdom of the gods, and it is difficult for the kingdom to survive without the protection of the gods. Although the Church of the King of the North Wind is interfering more and more with the kingdom of the world, at least it protects the kingdom from being swallowed up by the kingdom of other gods. ”

The girl snorted softly:

"The gods cannot directly interfere in this world. Gods only need faith, not worldly power. It is the people of the church, in the name of the gods, who interfere in the world and seize power. ”

Mephis reminded:

"Your Royal Highness, your remarks like this are very dangerous. Even if you are the second in line to the throne of the kingdom, if such a statement leaks out and the church learns about it, the consequences may be unimaginable.

"In addition, although the gods themselves do not interfere with the world, there are many gods and goddesses who walk the world who are interested in worldly power. The contemporary Son of the King of the North Wind Church, His Highness the Wrath of Winter, has a strong desire for power. ”

The girl winked:

"So I'll only say it in front of you when I'm on a mission to the East."

After a pause, she sighed softly and said with a complaint:

"Kings are supposed to rule over the world. But I don't know since when the kings of the Western Continent ascended the throne, they had to be witnessed by the Church of the Gods, and they had to kneel before the bishop to be crowned, and their ruling power over the world was shrinking day by day, and all aspects had to be interfered with by the church.

"In this regard, I really envy the Dongtu Emperor. The gods of the Eastern Soil never interfered in the human world, nor did they establish a church, and the emperor of the Eastern Soil only had to bow down to his father, mother, and direct ancestors, and did not need to kneel to anyone who had nothing to do with him. When you succeed to the throne, you only need to worship to the sky. Even the demigods of the world could not make the emperor bend his knees.

"The reason why I want to recruit the heroes of the East is because the heroes of the East do not think that it is natural for the king to bow down to the bishop, they only think that it is not in accordance with the etiquette, and the king should not kneel to any worldly person."

Mephis didn't speak, but bowed slightly, obviously agreeing with the girl's remarks.

At this moment, there was a knock on the carriage door, and someone said outside the door:

"Your Highness, the kingdom's advance merchant group has sent the latest news from the Jingshi."

Before the envoys arrived in Yingzhou by ship, the various kingdoms had already sent merchant delegations to the Imperial Capital to trade the Western treasures they had brought with them, and to inquire about the news by the way.

Of course, the races of Western countries are very different from those of the Eastern people, and in the core area of the Imperial Jingshi, the advance merchant group cannot inquire about any confidential information.

Some well-known public news can only be obtained through the public newspapers of the imperial court and rumors in the market.

But this is also enough for the national missions.

Mephis got up and opened the door, got a scroll sealed with fire paint, unfolded it and browsed it, and said with a smile:

"There hasn't been any major events in the Eastern Earth Empire recently. One of the three most important issues in recent times was the Imperial Navy's proposal to strengthen the Nanyang Navy and expand the range of cruises, but it was rejected by the Imperial Council. The reason for the veto was that the current size of the Nanyang Navy was sufficient to maintain the normal maritime trade order of the Empire and the Empire's interests in the South Seas.

"The second important issue is to reduce the funding of the 'Divine Catcher' and shrink the scope of the power of the 'Divine Catcher'. The Divine Capture Hall is the law enforcement department where Shen and Mu are located, and similar topics are held several times a year, but in view of the influence of that Sky Eagle and the demigod of the world, every Imperial Council has not passed.

"The third important issue is that this year's spring floods have caused disasters in many places, and the national treasury is requested to allocate funds for disaster relief......

Speaking of this, he retracted his smile and looked up at the girl, with a hint of surprise in his eyes:

"There's also a piece of news about the human slaughterer...... Rumor has it that ten days ago, in a solo duel, he killed a three-rank martial artist.

"That martial artist also has an extraordinary background, he was born in a century-old school with a long history and profound heritage, cultivated the top secret methods, became famous for more than thirty years, and has a wealth of experience......

"But even such a third-rank martial artist was actually killed by the young human slaughterer in a duel-the Eastern Earth Three-Rank Martial Artist, corresponding to the seventh-order Golden Knight of the Western Continent. The three-grade masterpiece corresponds to the high-level Golden Knight.

"Due to the difference in cultivation systems, although the number of the three grades in Dongtu is far less than that of the Golden Knight, the single combat power is far stronger than that of the Golden Knight. Only the seventh-order divine son can compete with the third-rank martial artist.

"That human slaughterer, who was only eighteen years old, was actually able to kill a seventh-order god-level powerhouse...... It's incredible! ”

The girl's eyes lit up, and a touching smile bloomed at the corner of her lips:

"At the age of eighteen, you can kill a powerhouse at the rank of a seventh-order godchild...... Such a person is also extremely rare in the history of the Western Continent, every time he appears, he will become the protagonist of epics and legends, and he has made countless great achievements, and the final ending is either to ascend to the sky on the throne, or to be promoted to a god by the gods.

"In the contemporary Western Continent, even those proud gods and goddesses, no one has ever had such a dazzling record at the same age. At most, you can only kill ordinary high-level Golden Knights.

"That human slaughterer, if he hadn't died halfway, would have been able to become an epic in the future! I'm more interested in him, I must be friends with him!

"Mephis, I want you to help me find out more about it, I want to know all his preferences, what he likes to eat, what he likes to drink, where he usually goes for pastime, what kind of social activities he likes, what texture and color of silk cloth he likes, what color of gemstone he prefers...... I need to know all this!

"I know it may be a bit difficult, but you can use whatever you want with me this time. Whether it's gems or gold, or even secret potions or secret treasures, you can exchange them for news as long as necessary. I just want to know everything about him! ”

Mephis pressed his hand to his chest and leaned slightly:

"As you wish, Your Highness Princess."

……

On the first day of March, in the evening.

Bai Shishi rode a small donkey, came to Xingyefang, walked to the door of Shen Lang's house, turned over and got off the donkey, and knocked on the door.

She is a poor bastard, she can't even afford a restaurant, and of course she can't afford to buy a good horse, so she can only buy a little donkey to make amend.

Even this little donkey, she has been saving up for a while.

Soon, the door creaked open, and a tall and stout skeleton soldier stood at the door, staring directly at Bai Shishi with his black hole holes.

In addition to being a little afraid of small bones, Bai Shishi, an ordinary skeleton soldier, was still not stunned, and said calmly:

"I'm Bai Shishi, I'm here to find Shen Zhutou."

The skeleton soldier didn't respond, but soon as if he had received some kind of instruction, he turned sideways to open the door, and made a gesture to Bai Shishi to invite in.

"Thank you."

Bai Shishi thanked her and led the little donkey into the gate.

Familiarly led the little donkey into the stable in the first courtyard and tied it up, and she went straight to the second courtyard gate.

As soon as he entered, he saw Gu Hongye sitting under the porch picking vegetables, the corners of Bai Shishi's eyes couldn't help twitching slightly, and she strode over.

Gu Hongye raised his head and saw that it was Bai Shishi, and couldn't help but be surprised:

"Why are you here?"

"I want to ask you."

Bai Shishi went straight to the porch, clasped her hands around her chest, highlighting her chest that was enough to crush Gu Hongye, and looked at her with an angry expression:

"It's only the first day of the third month, and you're dressed so sassy, trying to seduce the master, right?"

Well, Gu Hongye is indeed a little cool in her clothes.

There is a small red bandeau on the upper body, with snow shoulders and jade arms, delicate trivial bones, and even the lower abdomen and navel are all exposed.

The bottoms are only a short skirt that a serious woman can only wear when bathing, and the white and tender thighs like half a round jade pillar and the slender and straight calves are also exposed.

This kind of dress, of course, is nothing in the world before Shen Lang crosses, but in this world, it seems too avant-garde.

Facing Bai Shishi's accusation, Gu Hongye frowned slightly, glanced at her deliberately highlighted mind, and said lightly:

"I'm dressed like this, Shen Zhutou didn't say anything, but liked it a lot, which turn is your turn to accuse? Besides, this area is just such a family, and I am at home, so I will not be seen by outsiders......"

Bai Shishi snorted lightly:

"I thought you were an upright person, but I didn't expect that Master Mu and I weren't there, so you actually took advantage of it! Sure enough, people should not be disguised! ”

Gu Hongye brushed a strand of broken hair on his cheeks behind his ears, and said calmly:

"I'm the dowry of Lord Mu, Lord Mu is not at home, I serve the master on behalf of Lord Mu, isn't it right?"

Very good, this reason is very powerful, Bai Shishi really couldn't refute it for a while-in other words, she came to the door today with the same purpose, but she didn't expect Gu Hongye to be one step ahead of her.

Look at her dressed like this, could she have ...... with Shen Lang

As soon as she thought of this, Bai Shishi's heart was full of resentment:

It's just that Master Mu knew Shen Lang before, and he was Shen Lang's benefactor, but Gu Hongye and I obviously came first!

He took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and asked:

"Where's Shen Zhutou?"

Gu Hongye lowered his head and continued to pick vegetables:

"It's alchemy. When the meal is ready, call him out. You just happened to be here, so help me pick the vegetables first. ”

Although Bai Shishi was very polite when she came, although Gu Hongye had not taken the last step with Shen Lang, she had already known each other with him, and in front of Bai Shishi, the loser, Gu Hongye was full of superiority.

Besides, she and Bai Shishi also have a friendship of sharing a bed, so she is still quite personable.

Bai Shishi puffed out her pink cheeks and sulked for a while, and finally snorted angrily, lifted the hem of her clothes, and squatted down to help her pick up the vegetables.

"Why did you only go back to Beijing today?"

Gu Hongye asked while picking the shallots.

Bai Shishi sighed:

"When I went to the countryside to investigate a zombie cannibalism case, I was trapped in a small mountain village for more than a month with Xiao Xinyue, the head catcher of Wupin, and almost didn't come back alive."

Gu Hongye Qi said:

"It's just zombies, you two five-grade headhunters, you shouldn't have been trapped for so long, right? Xiao Xinyue Xiao catches the head I also know, a pair of 'son and mother serial knives' are extremely exquisite, and there has been an experience of fighting four with one enemy, exchanging injuries for lives, and killing four bandits in the same realm alone. You also have excellent martial arts, how can you be trapped by zombies for more than a month? ”

The five-grade head catcher of the Divine Capture Hall, with a body of martial arts, experience and equipment, has no pressure to pick two or three in the same realm, and can also get rid of a wound and exchange the lives of everyone on the other side.

Individual special ability to fight the five-grade headcatcher, cross-border single-handedly four-grade entry has a few chances of winning.

And the zombies in the world are basically just low-level zombies such as jumping corpses and walking corpses.

Even the iron corpse that is not inferior to the fifth grade, the bronze corpse that is not inferior to the fourth grade is extremely rare, as for the silver corpse that is not inferior to the third grade, the golden corpse that is comparable to the second grade, and even the legendary zombies such as the flying yaksha that is equivalent to the first grade, even in the last years of the previous dynasty, the era when the world was in chaos and demons were raging, they all belonged to rare varieties.

With the realm of Bai Shishi and Xiao Zhutou, if there are really rare zombies, then it will not be their turn to investigate this case.

And ordinary walking corpses, jumping corpses, and even iron corpses, two five-grade headcatchers, it should be no difficult to solve.

Bai Shishi sighed:

"When I first went to investigate, there was only one zombie. But after checking and checking, the whole village, seventy or eighty people, men, women and children, all of whom were spared, all turned into zombies. ”

Gu Hongye frowned and said:

"What are you going to do? How can a zombie infect the whole village? ”

Bai Shishi looked depressed:

"It's not that we're not doing things badly. When we first arrived, there was only one zombie, but in fact the whole village was infected with the corpse plague and had become potential zombies. ”

Gu Hongye said in a deep voice:

"Is this man-made?"

Bai Shishi nodded:

"Yes, a wild monk, I don't know where I learned the skill of refining corpses, I took that small mountain village to practice, and I had already secretly prepared the epidemic poison, and went down to the well, infecting the whole village.

"When we went, the whole village was hopelessly poisoned. But at first we weren't aware of that. When we returned to the village to rest after killing the first zombie, Monk Nano set off a lurking plague in the middle of the night, turning the entire village into zombies and surrounding us in the village chief's house. ”

Gu Hongye said:

"But with your martial arts, even if the whole village has turned into zombies, seventy or eighty zombies that have just been transformed should not be able to stop you, right?"

Bai Shishi said:

"The wild monk will also use the phantom formation in one hand, and the entire village has been secretly laid out by him, and once the formation is opened, we can't break out at all. Every time, I thought I had rushed out of the village, but as I walked, I returned to the village. ”

Gu Hongye said firmly:

"He's not trying to kill you, he's trying to trap you to death and turn you into zombies."

Bai Shishi nodded:

And so it is. He trapped us with a phantom array, drove the zombies to consume our physical strength and strength, and forced us to eat the food of the village and drink the water of the village well. And all the food and well water in the village have been poisoned by him. If we eat the water in the village, we will also be infected with the corpse plague. ”

Gu Hongye Qi said:

"How did you survive being trapped for more than a month?"

Two five-grade head catchers, of course, there is no storage magic weapon on their bodies.

Without a storage weapon to carry and reserve water, under the constant fierce battle, and the great consumption of physical strength and skill, it is necessary to replenish food and water on the spot, otherwise it will not be able to hold on at all.

Bai Shishi smiled, "There is no endless road, on the third day of being trapped, the spring rain came......"

During this year's spring flood, Dachu suffered disasters in many places, which shows that the spring rain is too much.

But this excessive spring rain saved the lives of Bai Shishi and Xiao Xinyue.

The two rely on the daily rain to provide water, and the food they bring with them is their own dry food, and then they catch birds flying low over the village.

When the birds were caught, they didn't dare to come, and they used fresh bird carcasses to lure snakes - the corpse plague poison refined by the monk Nano was only aimed at humans, and had no effect on birds and live snakes, so they could be eaten with confidence.

When even the nearby snakes were eaten, the two of them continued to support themselves with the cultivation pills.

After holding on like this for more than a month, under great pressure, Bai Shishi successfully condensed the true qi seeds, and the four products were introduced!

To deal with the two five-rank martial artists, the monk of Naye needs to use the phantom array to trap and use zombies to consume, trying to force them to go crazy and eat the food infected with the epidemic poison, which shows his true strength, and he can't take down the two five-rank catchers of the Divine Hunting Hall at all.

Therefore, Bai Shifu entered the fourth grade, and the situation was immediately reversed.

With the true qi seed's sense of heaven and earth, she found the eye of the crude phantom array, defeated it, broke the phantom array, and forced out the true body of the wild monk.

After a hard battle, Bai Shishi and the five-rank catcher joined forces, and after using up the few spells that the wild monk had, Bai Shishi used the heavy pistol that Shen Lang gave her to blow up the dog head of the wild monk with one shot.

After listening to Bai Shishi's story, Gu Hongye sighed:

"You're really a life-and-death trip this time! If you don't break through and break through the phantom array, then when you eat all the elixir, if you don't want to become ignorant and enslaved zombies, you can only starve to death or kill yourself. ”

Bai Shishi smiled:

"In a desperate situation, it's better to give it a go than to sit still. I have discussed it with Xiao Zhutou, if I fail to attack the fourth grade, she will continue to attack. If we all fail, then kill ourselves.

"We even have oil and firewood ready, and we plan to set ourselves on fire if we fail, anyway, even the corpse capital can't be left to the Nano monk, lest he refine it into a zombie and drive people to harm."

"You're really ......"

Gu Hongye shook his head and sighed twice, not knowing how to evaluate it.

It's hard to say that they are ruthless enough, but it's really not good if they aren't ruthless.

If you commit suicide in a normal way, such as killing yourself or something, leaving a complete body, you will also be refined into a zombie.

Even if you cut off each other's hands and feet, you can use it if you sew it.

The body is desecrated and falls second.

The key is the corpse of the two fifth-grade martial artists, even if they have no internal force after death, they have experienced the cultivation of the three grades of refining power, refining muscles and bones, and refining the internal organs, and the physique tempered by internal force for a long time, once they become zombies, they are also quite powerful, and they will kill many people.

In order not to act as a tiger, you can really only set yourself on fire, and burn yourself as weak as possible, and it is best to burn it directly to ashes......

After saying this, it was a somewhat thrilling experience.

Bai Shishi asked Gu Hongye casually:

"After Xiao Zhutou and I came back, I heard that you followed Shen Zhutou to the Star Death Gate, and you tossed the Star Death Gate enough?"

Gu Hongye nodded:

"Hmm. Shen Zhutou took the ironclad evidence of the sacrifice of the elders of the Star Death Gate to worship the Demon Buddha, and even took the iron evidence of the sacrifice of the living, and arrested the Elder Dugu Xue on the spot, and killed the Great Elder Dugu Wei of the Star Death Gate. After that, he forced Yao Sheng, the head of the Star Death Sect, to personally arrest the three elders of the Four Grades Dacheng. ”

Seeing Bai Shishi's calm expression, she deliberately emphasized:

"Dugu Xue is the entry to the three products, and Dugu Wei has the cultivation of the three products! When we escorted the prisoners back to Beijing, Shen Zhutou only sent summoned Taoist soldiers and demon beasts to kill a master of the forbidden army of the third grade, and also forced the law enforcement elder of the Star Death Gate, He Xianfei in the early stage of the third grade, to kneel and beg for mercy.

"Of course, the record of killing the masters of the forbidden army cannot be publicized. The forbidden army master called Tiger Dali was announced by White Tiger Chan two days ago that he had failed to impact the second product and died of an explosion.

"It's normal to hit the second grade and kill nine lives, and it's normal to die nine and live one, before Lord Mu hit the second grade, even if Lord Yan was by his side to protect the Fa, he had to arrange the aftermath first, and then wait until Shen Zhutou came back and complained to him, and then he gave it a go.

"So even if Hu Dali really hit the second grade and died, but with the record of capturing Duguxue and killing Duguwei, Shen Zhutou is going to really move the world this time!"

"Oh."

Bai Shishi let out a faint sigh, and her slender and flexible fingers quickly peeled the garlic.

Gu Hongye said in surprise:

"Your own master has played such an amazing record, and he is about to become famous all over the world, are you not surprised and excited at all?"

Bai Shishi raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Hongye:

"When Shen Zhutou only had a six-rank cultivation, he beat me half to death with three palms, and at that time I was already a fifth-grade master, and I also had the secret technique given by the spider mother. After that, he single-handedly wiped out all the Spider Sisters, including both the middle of the fourth grade and the early stage of the fourth grade.

"I watched Shen Hunting Head to destroy the Spider Sisters all the time, and I know best how powerful he is. I have long known that he will be famous all over the world, and I firmly believe that one day, he will be able to cut three, two or even one products. So, why should I be surprised? ”

“……”

Gu Hongye was speechless for a while, and suddenly felt that he didn't seem to have anything superior in front of Bai Shishi.

At this time, Bai Shishi said quietly:

"Where have you and Shen Zhutou progressed?"

Gu Hongye's sense of superiority returned, his chin raised slightly, and he blinked his eyelids:

"Guess?"

When Bai Shishi saw her expression, she immediately sneered:

"It's not the last step yet, what are you proud of?"

Gu Hongye was stunned:

"How do you know you're not at the last step?"

Bai Shishi smiled:

"With your proud nature, if you had reached the last step, you would have already shown off to me, how could you be so deceitful?"

Gu Hongye raised her eyebrows:

"I'm not as proud as I used to be! By the way, how did you suddenly become smarter? ”

Bai Shishi rolled her eyes angrily:

"I've always been smart, haven't I?"

Gu Hongye smiled secretly in his heart: However, almost everyone who knows you says that you are not very smart......

Bai Shishi asked curiously:

"That, how did you serve Shen Zhutou?"

Gu Hongye also rolled her eyes angrily:

"How can you say this kind of private talk? You shouldn't ask. ”

Bai Shishi's cheeks were thick, and she smiled and said:

"Let's marry Master Mu together, accompany Master Mu and Shen Zhutou to worship the church, and squeeze a small bed in the same room, exchange our experience of serving the master!"

Gu Hongye squinted at her:

"Yo, are you a good sister now? You woman, you really turn your face faster than a book. When I first entered the courtyard before, I was also said that I was dressed poorly, and blamed me for taking advantage of the weakness to enter, looking like a teacher asking for guilt. ”

Bai Shishi was cheeky and sincere:

"I'm sorry, good sister, I almost died outside this time, and for the rest of my life, under the ups and downs, it is inevitable that I will be a little unstable......"

Gu Hongye pursed the corners of his mouth:

"Who's your sister? I am older than you, my cultivation is higher than you, and I serve the master before you. Even as a dowry girl, I was one step ahead of you and got the consent of Master Mu. ”

Bai Shishi changed her words without pressure:

"Good sister! Can't I call you sister? ”

This cheeky!

She is worthy of being a bad woman!

Gu Hongye shook his head helplessly, and said:

"I'm not as cheeky as you...... There are some things that can only be done, not said. In this way, when you serve the master to bathe at night, you come with me to see how I do it, and you can learn from it. ”

Bai Shishi really didn't expect that Gu Hongye's mind was so small, but his heart was so open-minded, and she was really a little grateful in her heart, and grabbed Gu Hongye's hand:

"Good sister! Thank you! ”

It's dinner time.

With a satisfied smile, Shen Lang walked out of the alchemy room with a small gourd, and when he saw Bai Shishi was also there, he immediately smiled:

"Shishi is back? Hey, you're in the fourth grade? ”

Bai Shishi deliberately showed the breath of the four grades, so that Shen Lang knew his cultivation, and then he saluted him:

"Poetry can have today, thanks to Shen Zhutou's cultivation."

Shen Lang knew that she was talking about the two thousand-year-old ichthyosaurus wood spirit pills, so he smiled and waved his hand:

"Condensing the seeds of true qi, outsiders can't help, so you can only rely on yourself. You can advance to the fourth grade, and it is also your own chance. ”

spoke, sat down at the dinner table, and when he was seated, Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi sat down one after another.

Gu Hongye said while adding food to Shen Lang:

"Poetry and poetry are not only chances, but also experienced a life and death grind."

told Bai Shishi and Xiao Zhutou's adventures in the mountain village, and Shen Lang sighed when he heard it:

"Finding an opportunity between life and death...... Your true qi seed is really hard to come by. ”

Then he asked solemnly:

"That wild monk's method of creating epidemic poison can be seized and destroyed?"

Such vicious methods must be completely destroyed. If it spreads, I don't know how many innocent people will be killed.

Bai Shishi nodded:

"We found his lair, first destroyed all the methods of making and refining poison, copied a copy of the antidote, and then burned his lair, completely eradicating this scourge.

"With that antidote, if there is a similar incident in the future, the victim can be rescued in time. Unfortunately, even if there is a way to detoxify, it can only rescue those who have not been deeply poisoned. Poisoned into the terminal, there is still no cure. ”

Shen Lang Road:

"So we still have to try to prevent similar incidents in advance."

Bai Shishi smiled bitterly:

"It's so hard to put an end to it. Many evil magic skills, even if their inheritance is completely destroyed, after a while, they will appear inexplicably. When I came back this time, I asked Lord Yan, why is this kind of evil magic and magic constantly banned?

"Lord Yan said, on the surface, it is the star abyss that is not eliminated, and the demon is not stopped. But in reality, it is the human heart that has no end to greed and evil. Even if there is no Xingyuan Demon who uses various ways to lure mortals and spread evil magic and magic skills, there will always be evil people who create all kinds of evil magic and magic skills on their own in order to realize their desires.

"Therefore, evil magic and magic skills can almost never be completely banned. What we can do is to limit their spread as much as possible, eliminate their effects, nip them in the bud as much as possible, and help and treat the victims as much as possible. ”

Shen Lang bowed slightly:

"Lord Yan's words are really insightful."

Bai Shishi smiled:

"This time, Xiao Zhutou and I almost died, Lord Yan took pity on us and gave us ten days off, after the vacation, we don't have to go out of Beijing to handle the case for the time being, let us stay in Beijing to maintain order before the end of the tribute ceremony."

Shen Lang smiled:

"That's good."

Bai Shishi flickered her long eyelashes and looked at Shen Lang:

"But I don't have a place to live in Beijing, and I don't want to stay in the yamen when I'm on vacation...... Shen Zhutou, like Sister Hongye, I am also the dowry girl who accompanies Lord Mu to visit the church with you, and it should be natural to live in your house, right? ”

This reason is very powerful, and Shen Lang is not easy to refuse, after all, he has already learned serious magic skills with Gu Hongye, how can he refuse Bai Shishi again?

At the moment, I can only nod my head and agree:

"Well, in the future, when you are on vacation, you can live in my house."

Bai Shishi hurriedly thanked him diligently, and diligently gave Shen Lang a few chopsticks and dishes.

The three of them chatted while eating, and Bai Shishi knew that Gu Hongye had actually finished her vacation a long time ago and had returned to work.

However, before the end of the tribute ceremony, Gu Hongye did not have to go out of Beijing to run errands, he could handle cases near the Beijing Division, and stay in Beijing to maintain law and order during the ceremony.

Today, Gu Hongye went to the yamen early in the morning to order Mao, and then went to the West Market to patrol for most of the day.

The West Market is one of the two major markets in Kyoto, where not only the Toto Department Store but also foreign merchants from various vassal countries and even the Western, Eastern, Southern, and Western countries sell rare goods from various countries, and even operate exotic taverns and green houses.

Foreign businessmen from all over the world also have guild halls in Xishi, and the guild hall also doubles as an embassy.

For example, this time, the Western countries also sent missions to join in the excitement by taking advantage of the tributary ceremony once every five years, but the Western countries were not subordinate to the Great Chu Domain, and this was a serious state visit, talking about trade and doing business by the way.

Since they are not vassals, they must first submit their credentials to explain their intentions.

As a result, Western countries can do things by opening commercial clubs in the West Market.

After receiving the remote summons, the first envoys of various countries reported to the Ministry of Great Chu Rites, discussed the route of the mission, the escort along the way, and determined the time, specifications, and purpose of the mission's visit.

Of course, the advance caravans sent by the envoys of Western countries were not qualified to live in state-run guest houses such as the protocol house under the Ministry of Rites, and could only live in the guilds of various countries to do business and inquire about news.

The Western countries and Great Chu are separated by thousands of miles of sea borders, and the advance caravans have already arrived in Beijing, and those vassal states that are closer to Great Chu, as well as the Western Regions, Nanyang, and Oriental countries, of course, have already sent advance teams over.

With so many foreigners pouring in to the West City, it is only natural that the security situation will become severe.

In other words, on the Western side, the evil gods and demons are no less than those on the Dachu side.

Even because there is no big unified empire in the West, but there are many countries, and it is a feudal system for the aristocracy, the feudal monarch who is still engaged in feudal monarchy is not my feudal monarch, and the king is only the largest nobleman's set, so that the evil gods and demons on the Western side have a lot of room for survival.

Some aristocrats even secretly believe in evil gods and demons - evil gods and demons are more "generous" than righteous gods, and it doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not, as long as the offerings are in place, you can almost respond to your needs.

Unlike the righteous gods, because there are too many believers, there are requirements for the piety of believers, and even if they are devout believers, it is basically impossible to get a response from the gods.

In this context, even among the envoys, it is inevitable that there will be evil gods and demon believers.

Some of them wanted to go to the East to preach and expand the influence of the lord they served, while others lurked in the envoys in a vain attempt to sabotage and even assassinate the envoys and provoke disputes between the two countries.

Such demonic believers, the envoys of the various countries themselves have already found out several along the way.

Among the advance caravan that arrived in Jingshi first, there were also a few demon believers, and some chaos occurred.

The missions of various countries have brought a lot of trouble.

On the side of Dachu, there are many "heroes of the rivers and lakes", who are greedy for the treasures brought by the envoys for trade, and even those exotic beauties have also come to Beijing to try to show their skills and make a fortune in the city.

There are also many martial arts rookies, knowing that there will be an envoy from the Mobei barbarians to Beijing this year, and they will challenge the Dachu rookies according to the convention, so they also followed the division commander to the Beijing division to join in the fun. I heard that there are a lot of strange-looking foreigners in the West Market, and those martial arts rookies and old birds who came to Beijing from other places also went to the West Market to open their eyes.

Once this person is too many and miscellaneous, it is easy to make trouble.

Not to mention that most of the people who have come to Beijing recently, whether they are foreigners or locals, have so many skills, and this mess is more and more troublesome.

In short, the west market of the capital is a mess for a while, and every day there are vicious cases such as jealousy, fights, and even street vendettas, robbers, and obscene thieves picking flowers.

During the tributary ceremony, it was customary for the forbidden army and the Jingzhao Mansion to jointly maintain law and order. But in the face of such a complicated situation, the Divine Capture Hall also had to send elite soldiers to help maintain law and order.

Gu Hongye went to patrol the West Market today, and he encountered several brawls.

Some of them were people from advance caravans sent by each of the two Western countries fighting—the Western countries were not monolithic, and they were in constant dispute with each other, and all kinds of alliances and alliances were formed. In the entire Western Continent, in the past hundred years, there have been wars of all sizes, large and small, almost every year.

Therefore, there are some contradictions between Western countries, and some of them are even decades or hundreds of years of feuds.

When two people with blood feuds and feuds come together, even in a foreign country, they will inevitably be yin and yang and sneer at each other, and once the mouth cannon is activated, it will often eventually develop into a martial fight. It's not uncommon to kill people.

Gu Hongye stopped the duel between the two Western caravan guards today, and didn't let them get killed.

In addition, she also caught two snitches who stepped on a spot outside a Western parliament hall, and also caught a flower thief who dared to come out to commit a crime in broad daylight.

Miss Red Leaves has so much patrol experience today that even Shen Lang was a little moved to hear it, and she plans to go to Xishi to open her eyes if she has time.

After chatting and eating, Shen Lang took out the small gourd again, poured out more than 20 pills inside, and divided them equally among Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi:

"This is the elixir I have refined, from the seventh grade to the fifth grade. Although you are already a fourth-grade cultivator, these pills are still of some use to you. Take it and eat it. ”

The seven-grade "Five Qi Pill" that can strengthen the internal organs is useful to Shen Lang, and of course it is also useful to Bai Shishi and Gu Hongye.

And the sixth-grade "Quenching Pulse Pill" and the fifth-grade "Ning Yuan Dan" can strengthen the meridians and refine the internal force - the fourth-grade martial artist can directly refine the true qi until the four-grade is completed.

Before the completion of the four grades, the daily cultivation of the four rank martial artists had to first refine the internal force, and then absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the true qi seeds and the true qi vortex, and fuse with the internal force to refine the true qi.

Therefore, the elixir of the sixth and fifth grades is also useful for Bai Shishi who is the beginning of the fourth grade and Gu Hongye in the middle of the fourth grade.

The two took the pill and thanked them with a smile.

Gu Hongye threw a Five Qi Pill into his mouth, ate jelly beans and held it on his cheeks, and asked curiously:

"You've only been studying alchemy for more than ten days, right? You can actually refine the five-grade pill. When will the four-grade elixir be refined? ”

"It's coming." Shen Lang said with a smile: "In just these two days, I should be able to successfully refine a four-grade 'Quenching True Pill', which has the effect of refining true qi seeds and true qi vortexes, until the four-grade Dacheng is of great use." ”

After chatting a few more words, Shen Lang went to meditate, and Gu Hongye said:

"Shishi washes the dishes, I go to boil water, and prepare to serve the master to bathe."

As he spoke, he gave Bai Shishi a look, Bai Shishi comprehended, and quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks with anticipation.
