"Tsk! Twitter! ”

Around noon, two sparrows in search of food flew into the courtyard and landed on the thick red maple tree, staring brightly at the ugly human meditating cross-legged in the courtyard.

Although this man looks ugly, he smells surprisingly fragrant at the moment......

The occasional chunks of steaming purple-brown dried meat that fell from his body reminded the two sparrows of the good days when they squatted on the branches of cypress trees and waited for an opportunity to steal bacon from the kang years ago.

However, as soon as those days passed, the bacon hanging under the eaves that could be eaten later was extremely cold, and the most important thing was that the entrance no longer had the fragrance of the new meat on the hot kang.

Eat the marrow and know the taste.

They were staring at the ugly human in the courtyard who would use their bodies to make meat, and they were about to cry......

"Twitter!"

"Twitter!"

The two sparrows only squatted for a moment, then they couldn't help it, exchanged opinions, and finally unanimously decided that even if they didn't want to fight for their lives, they would go down and steal a few bites.

In the courtyard, Lu Renjie was closing his eyes and concentrating on practicing "Dragon Armor Body Protection".

He guided the qi and blood around his body to run according to the exercises, and he had been running for about two hours.

In the past two hours, the process of physical sensation has been very obvious.

At first, it was warm, as if you were soaking in a hot spring.

Then there is the scorching heat, as if you have arrived at a barbecue stand, and you are still the object of the barbecue......

And then there's the itching.

It was a kind of itch that penetrated the flesh from the inside out, as if every inch of his body was being teased and teased by people with bad intentions with a small wool brush.

He gritted his teeth and held back firmly.

Because he knows that itching is a feeling that represents something new in the body that desperately wants to emerge and expel it.

Naturally, there is nothing to be excreted in your body at this moment, but something new is growing out......

From about an hour ago, Lu Renjie could clearly feel that with the flow of blood and qi, there was a clear squirming sensation on his body.

That is the most intuitive feeling of blood qi inducing the growth of skin and flesh.

During this time, he has been eager to see how his body has changed now, but according to the details of the exercises, he must wait for all the itches on his body to subside before he can open his eyes and stop the exercises, otherwise the "dragon skin" will become incomplete, and the body will appear flawed, and the itch will be difficult to eradicate in a short time.

Bang Bang Bang!

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, Lu Renjie suddenly felt a tearing and stinging sensation coming from the surface of his body.

That feeling is not confined to one place, but appears irregularly in all corners of the body.

What's going on?

Did the exercises go wrong?

He was shocked, and immediately released a trace of mental perception outward, and immediately recognized that it should be a few birds on his body, frantically tearing and pecking at the old layer of flesh and skin that he had shed.

"The reincarnation of the hungry ghost......"

Lu Renjie had words of suffering, so he could only endure the aggression of the two birds.

After a while, the itch in my body was finally completely gone.

Lu Renjie couldn't wait to disperse the operation of the dragon armor body protection technique, released all his divine consciousness from the restrained state, and suddenly opened his eyes.

Rumble!

Immediately, a dull explosion exploded in the small courtyard.

A large mass of purple-brown charred flesh and blood-stained sparrow feathers fluttered in the courtyard.

簌簌簌 –

In the blink of an eye, everything was settled.

In the small courtyard, a bald monk with bulging muscles and smooth skin was revealed, and there was a layer of pale gold on it.

Lu Renjie lowered his head and carefully inspected the newly born flesh around him, and his mood suddenly felt comfortable and happy.

Sure enough, as he expected, the swelling feeling in his body that had caused him to deform to metamorphosis had completely disappeared!

He tried to slightly drum up the qi and blood in his body, and drew the edges and corners of the stones on the ground.

Click-

With a crisp sound, the stone shattered into powder.

And the feeling in the palm of my hand is like being scratched by tofu against the skin.

"Sure enough, this layer of skin has not only thickened, but also has a lot of defensive toughness......

Lu Renjie was overjoyed.

He returned to the house, using scissors and then a kitchen knife, trying to pull the palm skin.

As a result, as long as you puff up your own blood and qi defense, neither the kitchen knife nor the scissors can open the skin for half a minute, at most it stimulates a light gold reddish groove, and it will be restored in a blink of an eye.

Only when he injected the blood of the martial artist into the blade could he barely cut a trace of the skin, but the kitchen knife was finally curled because of this.

"It's not bad, as long as you continue to practice diligently every day, and then cooperate with the improvement of the main realm, the actual combat significance of this "Dragon Armor Body Protection Skill" is indeed very great!"

……

Xuanjing City.

The general office of the Demon Slaying Division, a pillar-shaped stone building dozens of zhang high stands in it.

This stone building is a masterpiece of transcendent building.

At the top of the transcendent building, it is a flat and open, a stone platform with a radius of 24 zhang wide.

This stone platform is the transcendent platform that everyone in Xuanjing City knows.

At this moment, a man in a green shirt with a thin figure, a clear face, and a few strands of white hair mixed with black hair on his temples was sitting quietly at a bluestone tea table placed in the center of the stone platform, skillfully boiling a cup of tea.

This person is the power of the government and the opposition, the world's famous demon slayer Sitai, a hundred miles of emptiness.

"The reason for the child's disappearance was solved by my Demon Slayer Division first, Your Majesty is not so disappointed in me for the time being, otherwise I estimate that he will probably deduct my Demon Slaying Division's spirit stone in the second half of this year."

"I heard that the East China Sea has been harassed and looted by Fusang pirates recently, and this year has only begun, and two ships transporting spirit stones have been damaged, and now there are not many spirit stones in the Xuanjing Spirit Library, plus the Zhenwu Tomb Mountain will start less than two months later, and a large number of spirit stones will be consumed."

"If the spirit stone is detained, it can't be bought on the market in the city, and I'm afraid that the servants of our yamen will have to pick a son."

"You are responsible for this case."

Baili Dingkong said softly as he poured a cup of boiled hot tea for the woman in front of him.

On the opposite side of the tea table, the woman in the uniform of the Demon Slaying Guard was the master of the White Tiger Hall, Bai Mist, she quickly picked up the hot tea, warmed her palm, dispelled some of the coolness on the stone platform, and said at the same time,

"Lord Sitai should have read the detailed file submitted by the lowly position, the lowly position does not dare to be greedy for merit alone, and the more credit for this case should actually be the little demon arrester in Moyang County."

"Although our Demon Slayer Division has clear rewards and punishments, but the rank is also clear, that little official was discovered by your subordinates, you should naturally take the lead, your merit, I will write it down for you for the time being, you need to exchange it in the future, you come to me again, as for how to reward the credit of that little official, that's your business."

I've already rewarded the little official with the best Luoxia Heavenly Essence Pill......

Bai Wumao muttered in response, nodded, took a sip of tea, and asked,

"Lord Sitai specially summoned the lowly position today, is it just to reward the lowly position?"

Baili Dingkong shook his head and replied,

"Regarding the origin of the Blood Lotus Sect and its purpose of reviving the Tianshui River Demon, you can put it aside for the time being, at the moment this case is not in a hurry, after the turmoil in Lanling Winery, the Blood Lotus Sect will inevitably hide to death."

"The cultivators of the Yin-Yang Magician system, although there are very few in the world now, they are by no means rare, and their ears and eyes are still not to be underestimated, in this case, you will not be able to find out anything for a while."

"There are only ten days left before the final ownership of the Silver Whip of Red Courage, although the merits of the child's disappearance case are recorded in my Demon Slaying Division, but Thunder is the last whip holder of our Demon Slaying Division after all."

"If the cause of his death cannot be found out before the attribution of the Silver Whip is determined, even if we regain the power of the Silver Whip, we will also lose the face of the Demon Slayer Division, and in the future, we will inevitably be used by the Criminal Department and other people in the court to chew the root of their tongues and tease and mock our servants of the Demon Slaying Division."

"So, next in this case, I decided to let you try it and try your luck, you have been lucky lately."

I see, I didn't expect to call me here today to let my lord investigate the case of the murder of the master of the Liu Hall......

For more than a month before, I have not been selected to participate in the White Tiger Hall, and now I am suddenly asked to take on this important responsibility, can I do it......

Bai Wuxiang suddenly became a little nervous, but she didn't refuse, after thinking about it slightly, she said,

"Since Lord Sitai has spoken, the lowly position naturally cannot retreat, but the lowly position wants to make an exception and temporarily recruit a person from other places to serve in my hall."

Baili Dingkong smiled and said,

"It's the demon hunter surnamed Lu, didn't you say in your file that this person has been corroded by the monster's gastric juice and is completely disabled?"

Bai Wuxiang put down the teacup and said,

"I went back and checked his injuries, he was only mutilated all over his body, but his internal vitality had completely returned to normal, and his brain should still be usable."

Baili Dingkong nodded and said,

"This person's resourcefulness and eyesight are indeed a natural messenger, you go back and take my warrant to go to the Household Department to transfer the cardinal cabinet to handle the documents, and then go to transfer him into the city, this case should be hurried."

"Humble duty understands."

Bai Wumian nodded, and left the Transcendental Stage.

At this moment, a pale golden sun in the distance just set in the west and disappeared completely.

It was as if the sun had been swallowed up by the earth and melted into the stomach.

"If you swallow the sun tonight, you still have to vomit it tomorrow morning, you can swallow it for a while, but you can't swallow it for a lifetime......"

After watching Bai Wumian leave, Baili Dingkong glanced at the direction of the setting sun in the west, and muttered softly to himself.

Then, he took out a small blue book of the famous "Xuanjing Xinwen" from under the stone table.

This is an anthology that will be published and sold every ten years in Xuanjing City, which will include new poems and essays that have recently become popular, and will be ranked according to their popularity.

Although Baili Dingkong is a martial artist, he is also involved in poetry and literature, and knows a little about Confucian practice, and this "Xuanjing Xinwen" will be read on time three volumes a month.

The first part of the book he opened was: "Guest to Lanling, Gift to Lanyu Eldest Princess"

After reading it, Baili Dingkong actually felt that there was a wisp of elegant and free and easy aura in his chest.

This is indeed a rare masterpiece, and it has aroused the spirit of a martial artist who has minored in Confucianism and Taoism......

Bailiding sighed with emotion, and quickly looked at the end of the payment.

Lu Renjie's three words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows suddenly.

"It's ...... him again"

With a sigh of amazement in his mouth, he couldn't help but glance at the west again, where the sun was swallowed by the earth, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
