Jinmen Port Patrol Division, afternoon.

Since the 50th year of Dachong, the aura in the world has become stronger and stronger, and the power of the warlock's spells has increased day by day.

I saw that the architectural style of this division is gray tiles and white walls, and the gatehouse is tall, which looks very simple and atmospheric. There are green pines and cypresses, strange flowers and stones, birds and insects, quiet and leisurely.

In the main hall of the Patrol Division, there was no one on the main seat, and one person was sitting on the left and right guest seats, and the two were talking in a low voice.

Sitting on the left was a man, about thirty years old, dressed in a black robe, with a wolf's tail and narrow eyes, a tall and curved nose, and a pale tip, and the whole person looked very gloomy.

This person is Geng Qingzhong, one of the four deputy divisions of the Jinmen Port Patrol Division, who was born as a wolf barbarian, he looked at his colleagues opposite, a trace of greed flashed in his triangular eyes, and then pretended to ask indifferently:

"Deputy Lu Si, I have been practicing the Fa in retreat for the past few days, and when I left the customs today, I received an urgent summons from Si Zheng. What's going on at this Jinmen Port? I see that most of the guards in this division are missing, and I haven't seen the two deputy directors of Kim Eun and Kim Moon until now. ”

Sitting opposite him was a beautiful woman in a pale green dress, with buns, snow-white and beautiful and dignified skin, who looked very young, but had a charming and mature charm, and it was Lu Yunmiao, the only female warlock in the Patrol Division.

It is said that the hairstyle of this wolf barbarian male is very different from that of the Xia people, but there is no difference between women.

Hearing this, Lu Yunmiao smiled slightly, and replied in a soft voice:

"Something has happened to the division recently, but those of us who are subordinates are always bad at talking about the boss secretly, which is a big taboo. It's better to wait for Ding Sizheng to come out, and let him explain it himself. ”

Hearing this, Geng Qingzhong nodded slightly and didn't ask any more.

Geng Qingzhong raised the topic several times, but this woman was only perfunctory.

Seeing this, he was not bored with himself, and the two were speechless for a while.

After a quarter of an hour, a person walked out from behind the main hall, this person was dressed in a moon-white Zhuxia robe, a wolf-barbarian standard hairstyle, and a white banner of strange material in his hand, with a well-proportioned body and fair skin.

Geng Qingzhong saw this white flag, his pupils shrank slightly, and he already recognized this thing:

"Ice silk is used as noodles, white bones are used as rods, and yin qi is bursting, this is the Yin Mountain Blood Soul Banner!"

He looked at the Inspector in horror, as if he was meeting this person for the first time:

"This Ding Yuanshan is crazy! As a great Chong six-grade art officer, he actually braved the world's disapproval to practice this kind of thing, isn't he afraid of the mirror prison? ”

Lu Yunmiao was not surprised by this, she smiled faintly, and immediately got up and said respectfully:

"My subordinates have seen Si Zheng, congratulations to Si Zheng on his success in refining the weapon."

Geng Qingzhong hurriedly calmed down, and hurriedly got up and saluted and spoke:

"My subordinates have seen Si Zheng."

Ding Yuanshan's expression was gloomy at this time, he nodded slightly in response to the two subordinates, sat on the main seat and said softly:

"No need to be polite, sit."

The two sat down, Ding Yuanshan held the bone banner in his right hand, looked at Geng Qingzhong, and said softly:

"More than ten days ago, the Red Chamber was slaughtered, and the leader of the secret agent, Zhang Zheng, defected to the Xinhan Embassy, and this Deputy Geng must have known it."

Geng Qingzhong looked at this boss who seemed to be no different from usual, his heart was slightly chilled, and he hurriedly replied:

"Yes, Lord Ding."

"Later, after the official sent someone to investigate, it was finally found out that the assassin who slaughtered the Red Mansion was from the Xinhan, and the secret agent Zhang Zheng had also colluded with the Xinhan for a long time."

Ding Yuanshan looked at this subordinate who had been practicing spells in retreat for many days, and opened his mouth to explain what had happened in the past few days.

From the time he wanted to curse Zhang Zheng and was countered by the New Han Warlock, to the time he asked Zheng Fuli to arrest the young men and women of the people, to Wang Qiang and Wang Ping and the disappearance of the stalker, and then sent Deputy Jin Wen to the Patrol Bureau to assist Zheng Fuli in investigating the traitor in the Bureau, sixteen people arrested the traitor Zhang Yuanqing and Jin Wen on the way to death, and the whereabouts of the patrol bureau Wang Youyou are also unknown.

After listening to this, Geng Qingzhong asked solemnly:

"Lord Ding, has he ever cast a spell to track down the whereabouts of the murderous official and the thief and the king of the king?"

"Checked, I was countered by spells, and later I and Vice President Lu Si will continue to cast spells and track them."

Ding Yuanshan replied that he and Lu Yunmiao practiced the "Yinshan Method", and they both knew the method of divination.

He glanced at the bone banner in his hand and shook his head helplessly:

"For the sake of Da Chong Sheji, I had no choice but to arrest some potential Xia clan thieves who were dissatisfied with my Da Chong, and practiced this magic weapon, just to kill Zhang Zheng and prevent the secret agent from leaking. But I didn't want that Sun Changsheng didn't know the overall situation, and even reported the matter of the official's sacrifice and refining of the magic weapon to the imperial court, and the people from the mirror prison were afraid that they would arrive soon. ”

When Geng Qingzhong heard this, he was first overjoyed, and then a little panicked in his heart.

His first reaction just now was that Ding Yuanshan had an incident and he had a chance to take the position, but then he thought that he had also done murder and practice.

He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Lu Yunmiao beside him smile and say:

"Someone from the Spiegel Supervisor, I'm afraid that I will thoroughly investigate my Jinmen Patrol Division, and the "Book of Desolate Insects" cultivated by Geng Si's deputy has also taken a shortcut, and if the Spiegel Supervisor really investigates, I'm afraid it will also be affected."

Hearing this, Geng Qingzhong's heart was cold, and his forehead was slightly sweaty.

Ding Yuanshan looked at Geng Qingzhong's reaction, nodded with satisfaction, and continued:

"Deputy Geng Si doesn't need to worry, that Xinhan doesn't know what to do, he dares to detain my incumbent officials of Dachong, I have made an appointment with Zheng Fuli, the director of the Patrol Bureau, I will continue to cast spells to track, consume the mana of the covering spell, and at the same time, the Patrol Bureau of the Patrol Division will send someone to keep an eye on the Xinhan Embassy, and we will act tonight."

"When I find out the whereabouts of the assassin and Wang Zhusi and others, my patrol department and his patrol bureau will immediately rescue the imprisoned Dachong officials, and when the time comes, what the Xinhan traitor did will come to light, and my Jinmen Port Patrol Division will make a great contribution to the Dachong Dynasty, this is naturally just a trivial matter for the people to practice the Fa, and the mirror supervisor can't do anything to us."

When Geng Qingzhong heard this, his heart was slightly relieved, and he immediately stood up and bowed to the boss in front of him and said:

"Lord Ding, this matter is not trivial, please allow the official to go back and make some preparations, so as to be in order."

"Go ahead."

Ding Yuanshan nodded slightly, and together with Lu Yunmiao, he watched Geng Qingzhong walk out of the hall quickly.

When the people were far away, the beautiful and dignified sorceress turned her head to look at Ding Yuanshan, who was also from the Yin Mountain faction, and frowned lightly:

"Senior Brother Ding, this trip is dangerous, don't talk about Han Liye, the ambassador on the face of the new Han Ming, I also went to see the place where Deputy Jin Si had an accident, there are mana fluctuations there, and the murderer must be a warlock!" Moreover, Kim's fatal wound was a sword wound in the back, which was the same sword technique as the wound of the murdered agent in the Red Chamber case. ”

"Even if this person is not the assassin of the Red Mansion case, he must have something to do with the assassin. It is unimaginable that this person can forcibly kill Deputy Jin Wensi and more than a dozen officials equipped with muskets, and it is difficult for me to do it as a warlock who is also a layer of spiritual sea. ”

She and Ding Yuanshan practiced the Yinshan ghost method, which is the best at spells, harming people and divination with the anger of the dead with the breath of the living, and facing the enemy is really not her forte.

Ding Yuanshan nodded, and said:

"Senior Sister Lu, don't worry, you need to know that the spells practiced by our warlocks have their own emphasis, and what the assassin can do, you can't do; But if you can do it, the Assassins can't do it. ”

"As long as the junior sister doesn't act alone and keeps following the large army, the assassin is good at swordsmanship, and there is no threat to us. There is just one point, junior sister must pay attention. ”

Lu Yunmiao was slightly stunned:

"Senior sister listens."

Ding Yuanshan looked at the junior sister in front of him and said:

"Senior sister, tonight we have to watch out for not that new Han warlock, but mortals!"

When the beautiful sorceress heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then she heard her fellow senior brother continue:

"Fifteen years ago, the Industrial Revolution broke out in the United Kingdom of Abilee on the Western Continent, and the world has changed rapidly since then. Nothing else, the musket that originated in the Western Continent is amazingly powerful, and its direct power is even more powerful than the spells of warlocks like us. ”

"Although this sect Yin Mountain spell can do long-range curse killing, killing people invisibly. But after all, we are still flesh and blood, and if we don't act secretly, we will be killed on the spot if we are shot by mortals with muskets. ”

Lu Yunmiao suddenly realized and nodded.

Before the appearance of the flintlock pistol, a firearm, the warlock had a crushing advantage in the face of mortals, possessed strange arts, and underwent the baptism of aura to achieve the Dharma body, and his physical fitness far exceeded that of mortals, and mortal bows, arrows, knives and guns did not pose much threat to them.

But warlocks are still flesh and blood after all, and since there is a weapon like a musket in the world, their position has actually been affected.

In frontal combat, there is no need for many mortals equipped with firearms, even if there are only a dozen or so, only one salvo is needed, and they will all die on the spot.

Ding Yuanshan saw that Lu Yunmiao had understood what he meant, and couldn't help but nod with relief:

"I, the Yin Mountain Warlocks, are armed with spells, so why do we have to fight those traitors head-on? As long as you hide in the shadows, cast spells and kill, as many mortals will be killed, just remember that you must not go head-to-head with those firearms. ”

"Now that the second-layer spiritual sea has recovered, after we are promoted to the second-layer spiritual sea and cultivate the talisman method, our defense method has greatly increased, and this mortal firearm is naturally not a big threat to us."

Ding Yuanshan continued to tell his sister and partner Zhengse, who had been with him for more than ten years:

"But now, after all, the spiritual sea has not been revived for a long time, and we have not yet been promoted, and we don't have the art of protecting the body, so we must be careful tonight, and we must not give the new Han traitor a chance!"

"Yes, junior sister understands."

————

Geng Qingzhong walked out of the hall of the Patrol Division, and walked quickly to the pavilion where he lived.

There was an open space in front of the main hall, and he glanced around, and saw that the guards standing guard were the same as usual.

Seeing this, he frowned, stopped, and looked into the distance, at this time, a team of guards happened to pass by, and he saw that there were only four guards patrolling eight people on weekdays.

Thinking that when he came out of his attic, there were half less guards in his area, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

"I've seen Deputy Geng."

"I've seen Lord Geng."

The surrounding wolf barbarian guards dressed in government uniforms saw him and hurriedly bowed down to greet him.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, ignored these people, walked straight forward, got out of here, turned right, and entered the quiet path leading to his pavilion.

He stepped on the gravel path under his feet, the green side of the road, listening to the birds and insects, which usually made him feel happy, but at this time he was a little irritable.

Thinking of Lu Yunmiao's attitude towards him, he was even more depressed in his heart, stopped suddenly, and scolded angrily:

"Lu Yunmiao, you slut!"

"Damn, Ding Yuanshan's guy is so desperate to sacrifice and refine the Yin Mountain Blood Soul Banner, and he was stabbed to it by Sun Changsheng for not doing anything."

There was no one around, and he scolded angrily:

"Lao Tzu is just taking a few black Xia gangsters as blood food and insects, and you are going to fight with Xinhan!"

"I knew that Lao Tzu wouldn't be greedy for that cheapness, and I will see how the Spiegel Division will deal with you when he comes!"

The more Geng Qingzhong thought about it, the more angry he became, and with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen locusts the size of half a palm flew out of his sleeve and pounced on the green plants on both sides of the path.

The method of insect control is not driven by poisonous insects such as spiders and centipedes, but flying locusts.

The locusts fluttered their wings and swooped down on the grass and trees on both sides of the path, and before long, after a few terrible bird calls rang out, the birds ceased to sing, and the insect chirping soon disappeared.

Geng Qingzhong nodded with satisfaction, and with a call of his hand, more than a dozen flying locusts that were still stained with traces of flesh and blood on their mouthparts flew back to his long sleeves.

After venting his depression, he walked quickly to the pavilion where he lived.

"Hurry up and go to the insect hive and take out my newly cultivated poisonous locusts, I will definitely fight with the new Han Warlock tonight, and I can't take it lightly."

He thought to himself.

After walking away for a quarter of an hour, he faintly saw the eaves of his pavilion through the branches of the lush green trees on both sides of the path, and his steps were a little faster.

The trail became more and more quiet, and Geng Qingzhong suddenly felt a pang in his heart, sensing that there was a mana fluctuation not far in front of him, so he stopped and looked forward intently.

The next moment, the air on the path ahead was distorted, the light and shadow were disillusioned, and a young man of the Xia clan wearing a black Zhuxia robe and holding a cane suddenly appeared.

Seeing that the mana fluctuations when he opened the [Transfiguration] were perceived by this person, Thorn was not surprised, and immediately cut off the mana transmission to the family heirloom jade pendant, drew his sword and rushed towards the person in front of him.

Any spell casting has mana fluctuations, and when a warlock wizard casts a spell, mortals can't detect it, but those who are also warlocks and wizards are bound to be able to detect it.

When he assassinated Jin En before, if he had turned on the [Transfiguration] of the family heirloom jade pendant, this mana fluctuation would inevitably immediately make Jin En realize that there was a warlock attacking, which would only increase resistance to his actions, so he abandoned it.

Geng Qingzhong, the deputy director of the Patrol Division who practiced the evil method of the Desolate Insect Sect, was a strange young warlock of the Xia clan before he saw him, and he immediately realized that it was not good, and with a wave of his hands, he had a long sleeve, and more than a dozen flying locusts the size of half a palm flew out of his two sleeves.

The thorn sword quickly pounced on the man, and he was met by the flying locusts raised by the desolate insect sect.

"Flying locusts, heh, as I expected."

According to the memories of their previous lives, the Warlock of the Desolate Insect Sect does not practice poison arts, although they also raise poisonous locusts, but the poison of this kind of poisonous insect will hurt themselves, so the Warlock of the Desolate Insect Sect carries non-poisonous insects, and keeps the highly poisonous insects in their own hives.

Therefore, after using the Yakxi Fa Seal to infiltrate this Patrol Division, Thorn did not go to the residence of the desolate insect sect warlock Geng Qingzhong to wait for the rabbit, because he was afraid that he would summon all the insects in the insect hive.

Seeing that the hideous mouthparts of these flying locusts were still stained with a trace of flesh and blood, they fluttered their wings and pounced on him.

The mana in the thorn's body was running rapidly, cold lightning crossed his eyes, and the cane sword in his hand crossed a mysterious trajectory.
