In Li Yu's study, Yang Yu squatted on the table, her fluffy tail coiled.

She has a big head and short ears, a mane like a lion, and big round eyes, showing a yellow and blue mandarin duck pupils.

I don't know why, Li Yu looked at the white cat that was close at hand, and had an urge to reach out and pet her.

But thinking about her self-proclaimed claws that had torn the tiger's claws, she still endured it very sparingly.

Yang Yu said: "That strange treasure weapon has already been obtained?" ”

"Got it, here it is." Li Yu turned around and took out the treasure knife from the back shelf and showed it to Yang Yu.

"I specially selected it for you, how about it, it's not bad, right?"

Yang Yu held her head high triumphantly, her eyes were half-narrowed, and she had a proud expression that was about to praise me.

Li Yu laughed at himself: "Relying on Daxian to get such a good weapon, it makes me feel a little like I'm eating soft rice, but I'm not ashamed, who called this thing so fragrant?"

If there is such a good thing in the future, please be sure to come back more often.

In fact, I personally have a little suggestion for improvement, that is, there is no need to stick to any form of meritorious reward, as long as you are in a good mood, you can reward whenever you like. ”

"Think beautifully!" Yang Yu chirped, "The benefits of this great immortal are not taken for nothing, and the things promised before should be done." ”

Li Yu said, "Okay, tell me, what's the situation on the Demon Sect's side now?" ”

Yang Yu said: "The people from the Wind Catching Hall were in charge of tracking and investigating, and found that they were hiding in Yonghefang in the south before, but when they chased them, they were already empty. ”

Li Yu said: "This is not surprising, the demon cultists are not stupid, and they should have run away a long time ago if something so big happened." ”

Yang Yu said: "That's right, they also have three cunning rabbit caves, and they have strongholds in Yong'an Fang, Anyi Fang, Shengping Fang and other places, but they have also been abandoned. ”

Li Yu couldn't help frowning when he heard this: "The organizational strength shown by this Gu Heart Demon Sect is no weaker than that of the imperial court, and it is even victorious." ”

Yang Yu said disdainfully: "What kind of ability is this?" Relying on strange treasures and fallacies to deceive people's hearts.

However, they do have a lot of prestige among the reckless rivers and lakes of the lower nine ranks and among the poor people, and they secretly don't know how many followers they have developed, and they usually pretend to be honest people, and they have no idea where to start. ”

Li Yu understood that she was referring to the fact that this Gu Heart Demon Sect divided the entire organizational structure into two sects, which were called Red Yang and White Yang respectively.

This is derived from the name of the period of the end of the three tribulations, and the natural fixed number performed by the Heavenly Dao according to the movement of the universe and the changes in the time sequence, is divided into green yang, red yang, and white yang, which respectively imply the past, present, and future.

All the ordinary people who were involved in the Demon Sect and became shallow believers all belonged to the Red Sun Sect.

The elites selected from them will join the Baiyang Sect and be trained to become aliens or missionary messengers, Dharma protectors at all levels, for future use.

Regardless of the name, no matter how descriptive it is, this is essentially the prototype of the division of military and civilian rule.

The Demon Cult has special missionary messengers, who use mild means such as healing, almsgiving, and praying for blessings and disasters as an excuse to walk the streets and alleys, go to the countryside and villages, and actively promote their own sectarian ideas and various ideas.

For the people who have never come into contact with them, they will not rashly preach some things that are rebellious, but will persuade people to be good and diligent and down-to-earth.

Because these missionary messengers are in the name of all kinds of legality, sometimes incarnated as bell doctors, sometimes Taoist priests, monks, there is no way to trace them, and even if they are traced, they are reasonable and legal, and it is difficult to stop them.

However, after a long period of contact and familiarity, they will slowly preach some things about the end of the Dharma world, and guide people to recite "no birth mother, vacuum hometown" in order to seek refuge.

The childless old mother is derived from the Taoist gods, but after a variety of interpretations, fusion, fabrication, it has become a popular belief in folk religion, and the eight-character mantra of "no childless old mother, vacuum hometown" has also become the common slogan of many secret sects.

In general, it is a declaration that the childless mother is the creator god and the savior, and that the vacuum hometown is heaven and Elysium, and that all religions are common.

The appearance of treachery has given this sect a steady stream of food to support, and even the legendary vacuum hometown seems to have taken on a physical basis.

The poor people often pinned their hopes on the afterlife, and their beliefs were very firm, so it was not surprising that they secretly helped hide and cover and transfer some of the members of the Baiyang Sect.

The Demon Cultists have reduced the process of hiding weapons, containing archers, and communicating with each family to a little bit, but they are not deeply involved, and even some ordinary people who have helped do not know what they have done, and the means are very clever.

The strongholds in Yang Yu's mouth may not necessarily be those venues that need to be operated specially, but ordinary people's homes.

The holy capital is rich and the commodity economy is developed, which requires a large number of migrant workers, and there are often servants, domestic helpers, tenants and other floating populations in each household, which is even more difficult to deal with.

Not to mention anything else, there are a large number of servants in the Wu'an Hou Mansion alone, and even Li Yu himself can't figure out the specific number, let alone know every subordinate.

Even, in his own east courtyard, there are more than 30 personal maids, big maids, and little maids, and not every one of them can be called by name.

Familiar at best.

My cadres have their own national conditions, and it is even more unrealistic to ask those petty officials in various districts to know the population under their control well.

Many things are often ignored by the people, the officials are not held accountable, and the life is just passable.

After Yang Yu introduced the general situation, she said: "But the imperial court is not a vegetarian, and the secret agents planted in the Demon Sect have provided reliable information that the shadow puppet people have haunted the area of Pingkangfang, and that it may be where they are really hiding." ”

"Pingkangfang?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"So the next thing we're going to do is to go to Pingkangfang to investigate this case?"

"Yes, but you have to be careful, it seems that the Demon Cultists really want to turn from darkness to light this time, and make waves through treacherous things!

Their purpose is crazy, perhaps they want to artificially influence or even manipulate the evil demons in order to achieve the goal of subverting the great cadres!

The Demon Sect Great Protector Shadow Puppet is just one of them, and this time, it seems that there are several other masters of the same level who have infiltrated the Holy Capital, all waiting for an opportunity in the shadows! ”

"That's ......"

Thinking of the treacherous resurgence that Li Xin had said before, Li Yu's face was a little solemn.

"Those Great Dharma Protector-level masters don't sound like some fuel-efficient lamps, if they are left alone, there is a real possibility that something big will happen.

If they are really allowed to succeed, the destructive power is not comparable to that of a mere fox bride.

I'm also promoted now, and I have the right to do treacherous things as a commander, and I will participate in the investigation as soon as possible! ”
