Chapter 18: The Demon Suppression Division (Part II)
When Zhao Yuanjing left, the middle-aged man reached out and picked up the teacup on the table next to him, slowly scraped the floating tea leaves in the cup with the tea lid, and looked at Qin Mu.
"Although I don't know if what you said is true or not, it seems that you are a person with a deep fortune."
Qin Mu clenched his fists and bowed.
The middle-aged man continued: "Before you had a spiritual root, you participated in the Ascending Immortal Ceremony, and now you have a spiritual root, I don't know ...... Do you still have the idea of cultivating immortals in your heart? ”
Qin Mu nodded lightly and said: "The matter of the spiritual root, Zai Xia was originally just a guess, but today, thanks to the adults of the Demon Suppression Division, I was sure that I did have a spiritual root." ”
At this point, he smiled.
"As for cultivating immortals, who in this world doesn't want to be otherworldly and live forever?"
The middle-aged man nodded, and said with a meaningful smile: "Cultivating immortals and attaining the Tao, immortality and long-term vision are indeed things that many people dream of, but if there is no one to guide them, Ren Er will be talented, and he will not be able to visit the true immortals, and he will not be able to ask for the immortal way." ”
"Although there are as many immortal sects in the world as many as stars, the top of the list is Da Yu, besides...... Except for the Holy Land, the imperial court has a backup of all the sects' exercises. ”
"Even the disciples of the sect have records."
"You do have a spiritual root now, but we can't be sure for a moment whether your claims are true or false."
"Therefore, without the consent of the Demon Suppression Division, you can't leave Guanhai City one step, and you can't join any sect."
"Of course, you can also choose to join the Demon Suppression Division."
"As long as he joins the Demon Suppression Division, Qin Gongzi will naturally become our colleague, and we have always had the greatest kindness in the face of our colleagues."
"At that time, as long as Qin Gongzi has no task on his side, the world is so big, he can go wherever he wants."
After Qin Mu heard this, he smiled bitterly and hugged his fists and said, "Adults have said so, is there any choice in the future?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Of course there is a choice, Qin Gongzi can choose to be a mortal, but he must be protected by us." ”
When Qin Mu heard him say this, he sighed lightly in his heart, where is this protection, it is clearly surveillance.
As he thought of this, the middle-aged man continued to speak.
"In addition, this official also has a gift for Qin Gongzi."
At this, he snorted.
"Someone!"
The next moment, a heroic woman walked in with a series of human heads.
The blood stains on the heads and necks of the people pulled a long trail of blood on the floor of the lobby, and their expressions were still in the horror before death.
After Qin Mu suddenly saw this string of heads, his shocked face changed suddenly, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly and said, "Does Gongzi Qin still recognize these people?" ”
After Qin Mu heard this, he endured the discomfort and took a few steps closer with courage.
I saw that the hair of the heads of those people was tied together and strung together with a piece of hemp rope.
And when he saw the scar on one of the human heads and faces, his expression suddenly froze, and almost instantly, the miserable cries of Qin's father and Qin's mother before their death appeared in his mind.
He suddenly felt his mouth dry and his voice stuttered.
"These people ......"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's right, they are the bandits who have been roaming the Absolute Demon Ridge for two months, and there are fifteen people in total. ”
After Qin Mu heard this, he took a deep breath and bowed deeply to him.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank Gongzi Qin first, this is not a gift from this official, these bandits have been murderous in the Absolute Demon Ridge for two months, and we will destroy them to eliminate harm for the people." ”
As the words fell, he nodded at the woman carrying a string of human heads.
The woman immediately handed the package she was carrying in her other hand to Qin Mu on the side.
After Qin Mu took the package, he put it on the ground and untied it, only to see that there were two rolled up painting scrolls and two small jars inside.
His eyes widened as he unfolded one of the scrolls.
This painting actually painted a full-body portrait of Qin's father.
He swallowed his saliva and lifted the lid of one of the jars, revealing a gray-white powder.
"This ...... It's ......"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's right, this is the ashes of Gongzi Qin's parents." ”
"It is reported that after Qin Gongzi came back that day, he set up a mound in clothes the next day to organize the funeral for his parents, and the official sent someone to find the two of them."
"Eventually, I found both of them under a cliff."
"At that time, their bodies were already decomposing, so the painters of the Demon Town Division painted the remains of the two of them based on their bone statues, as well as the descriptions of some neighbors."
"Because the body was so badly decomposed, it was extremely difficult to collect it, so it was cremated into powder."
At this, he laughed.
"I wonder if Gongzi Qin is still satisfied with this gift from this official?"
Qin Mu was naturally satisfied with this, and the hundred households of the Demon Town Division were tempted in the front, threatened in the back, and finally gave grace.
Especially this last grace simply shocked him.
In this case, if he still dares to refuse, he doesn't know what will be waiting for him.
With this in mind, he closed the lid of the urn and tied the wrapping.
Finally, he slowly got up, bowed down with his fists deep, and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to join the Demon Suppression Division." ”
The middle-aged man chuckled lightly and said: "The official's name is He Longxing, he is the hundred households of the demon division of Guanhai Town, and the official worships the six products, in this Guanhai City, in addition to the city lord, the official is the largest." ”
"The woman next to you, named Qi Shayu, is the banner master of the 'evil' character banner of the Demon Suppression Division."
"Let's watch the Demon Division of Sea City, the biggest is this official, there are ten flag masters under this official, each flag master leads six inspectors, two captains, a painter, and a clerk."
"The patrol is responsible for inspecting demons and supervising the sect, and the captain is only responsible for killing."
"The painter is responsible for painting the demons and even the portraits of his colleagues who died in battle, while the clerk is responsible for recording all the actions of the Demon Suppression Division."
"Although the plan is so, there is a gap in the facts, and we only have one painter here."
After introducing all this, He Longxing Qi Yu said: "It just so happens that your clerk of the Evil Banner has died, this kid has just arrived, and he has not cultivated himself, and it just so happens that his family is running a bookstore, so he will be under your command and be a clerk." ”
When Qin Mu heard this, he was shocked.
Isn't the clerk only responsible for the record?
How can you still die in the line of duty?
Qi Shayu nodded expressionlessly at this time, then turned his head to look at Qin Mu, and said coldly: "Bring the things, and then carry this string of heads, and follow me." ”
Qin Mu glanced at the hemp rope soaked in blood in horror, and cautiously reached out, trying not to let his hand touch the human head hanging on top.
Seeing this, Qin Xuyu didn't say anything, and after handing over the rope, he turned around and walked out the door.
Qin Mu glanced back at He Longxing, only to see that he was already drinking tea with his head down.
He could only carry a package containing a painting scroll and an ash altar in one hand, and a string of human heads in the other, and left after Qin Shayu.
Not long after he left, a well-mannered man in black came out of the side room.
He Longxing didn't raise his head and asked, "What's the matter, is what that kid said true or false?" ”
The man shook his head lightly and said, "There is a strange spiritual power in his body that blocks my investigation, and his expression and heartbeat are not abnormal. ”
After He Longxing heard him say this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, raised his head in surprise and asked, "Strange spiritual power?" ”
The man nodded slowly.
He Longxing was surprised, and smiled quite interestingly.
"He has no spiritual power, but he has a strange spiritual power that can resist detection, is it true that as he said, it is because he ate a fruit that he was able to reshape the spiritual root?"
The man saw that this Baihu seemed to be in a good mood today, so he dared to ask: "Baihu, this kid's qualifications are only middle and upper, and his mood is not qualified, and he has not even participated in the assessment and training, but he just answered a few words, how did he easily join us." ”
"Moreover, you even used an artist to paint portraits of his deceased relatives and recover the bones of his parents."
"Xia Guan doesn't understand, why do you take such good care of him?"
He Longxing smiled and said, "Since the national teacher has given the order, we naturally have to cooperate." ”
"As for Qin Mu, you should get along with normal colleagues, but since you haven't found out whether what he said is true or false, everything will be guarded against."
"In addition, I saw that the Qi Banner Master gave Qin Mu a dismount as soon as they met."
"You go back and tell the Qi Banner Lord, since he has a relationship with the above, don't be too embarrassed for him, isn't he lucky? Let's have a mascot. ”
