Chapter XXIX

There are many famous scenic spots near Juzhou, the most famous of which is the "Jugong Stone" located on the Rongjian Cliff in Hanshi County.

This boulder is very unique, its length and width are 100 zhang, relatively square, the four corners are supported by four naturally formed stone pillars, this boulder has appeared in many famous paintings in the past, even if people who have never been to Juzhou, have indirectly seen its style.

After Zhang Yu arrived here with Qingxi and Qingshu, he saw that under the blue sky, a whole thick and golden majestic boulder was supported high by four thick pier pillars.

From a distance, it looks like a giant's palace towering above a high cliff, and below, a crystal clear half-tile lake, it is like a mirror, which has been quietly reflected in this almost miraculous scene for thousands of years.

Qingxi couldn't help but let out a small exclamation, her eyes widened, looking at the strange scene in front of her, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Zhang Yu looked at the boulder for a while, then gave an order, and asked Qingshu to go to the carriage and bring the easel and colored paintbrushes over.

He then straightened the easel, laid the canvas on it, and then traced the boulder in front of him.

"Jugong Stone" as a famous scene, is often visited by people, but it is in the suburbs, and it is half a day's journey from the nearest town, so most of the people who come here have to take a carriage, but a small number of people who are worth a lot of money will choose to ride the creation directly here, and these people are either rich or expensive.

At this time, a middle-aged man in exquisite and gorgeous clothes stood in the distance, watching him paint with great interest.

He was fascinated by the sight, because Zhang Yu completely captured the essence of this boulder and presented it completely on the canvas.

Looking at this painting, he felt that this boulder originally had such a charm, but ordinary people couldn't see this side that went deep inside.

At this moment, he had a feeling that if he really wanted to understand the "Jugong Stone", he didn't need to look at the original anymore, but just looking at this painting was enough.

His look of admiration fell on the eyes of his attendant, who suggested, "Sir, if you like it, why don't you buy this painting?"

The middle-aged man was moved for a moment, but then he shook his head and said, "No, that person is not an ordinary person." ”

He could see that although Zhang Yu was wearing a hat and couldn't see his face clearly, his bearing and demeanor were there, not to mention that he was followed by two creators on the left and on the right.

The people who can use the creator as an entourage are all related to the military government, and their status cannot be low.

Such a person goes up directly and says that he buys it with money, which is an insult.

He looked into the distance, sighed, and said, "It's good to see, it's worth the trip to see such a beautiful scenery and such a painting this time." ”

At this moment, he heard a strange sound in the sky, looked up, and saw a long black flying boat speeding from the distance, and when it came close, it slowly landed.

Although the ordinary flying boat is also a semi-living creature, it is wrapped in a thick metal shell on the outside, and it must be landed in a place like the roof of the boat, but this flying boat is biased towards living creatures like a cold river insect, and when it is about to reach the ground, a pair of centipede feet stretch out from both sides, and the body falls steadily on the ground.

The light on the long boat flashed, and then the doors of the cabin screwed open, and soldiers dressed in black robes, with serious faces and swords on their backs, walked out of it.

The attendant approached the middle-aged man a few steps and said, "Sir, it's someone from the prosecutor's department." ”

The middle-aged man showed a hint of surprise and said, "What are the people from the Prosecutor Division doing here?"

He looked at the fact that after these people got off the flying boat, they went over to Zhang Yu and the others, frowned, and said, "Go and watch, if the people from the Prosecutor's Department mess around, you can stop them for me." ”

The entourage said yes, he first beckoned the two guards behind him to protect the middle-aged man, and then walked forward.

Zhang Yu also felt the arrival of the prosecutor and others at this moment, but he was not distracted by this, and he was still painting very calmly.

Qing Shu and Qing Xi turned around and faced the group of people who came over vigilantly, and Qing Shu's hand was on the sword beside him.

Zheng Jie walked in the front, he also saw Zhang Yu painting at this moment, he didn't come up again, but stood there, and everyone behind him also stopped.

About two moments later, Zhang Yucai finished the painting and placed his pen on a shelf.

During this period, Zheng Jie waited there and didn't come over, nor did he say a word, he just stood there quietly, but even so, their group gave people a lot of pressure.

The middle-aged man's entourage also stood aside and watched, if Zheng Jie didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, then he didn't have to go up, if it wasn't necessary, it was better not to provoke the people of the Prosecutor's Division.

Zheng Jie clenched his fists at this time, and said loudly: "Zhang Shijun, I am Zheng Jiu, I have something I want to talk to you about, is it convenient?"

Zhang Yu turned around and nodded, "Yes." ”

Zheng Jie signaled, and his subordinates immediately moved a wide and long table, put down two wooden benches one after the other, and then erected a large curtain to cover the dust on the open space.

Zheng Jie stretched out his hand at this time.

Zhang Yu nodded and sat down on the wooden bench on his side.

Zheng Jie also held the hilt of the sword and sat down, but even so, his figure was still straight.

Zhang Yudao: "Zheng Sicha is a sergeant?"

Zheng Jie said: "Qingyang Shangzhou Tiger Benjun former army Sima, later transferred to the inspection department, as the position of inspector, until now. But I think that what I am doing is still the same, I am destroying the enemy in the army, and I am destroying the enemy in the rear. ”

Zhang Yudao: "Could it be that in the eyes of the prosecutor, all people infected by parasites are enemies?"

Zheng Jie said: "The demon has appeared for a long time, we know how harmful it is, sometimes we have to think in the worst direction, and we can't tolerate a trace of warmth and compassion, because as long as there is one concession, then it can appear many times, and the people of Qingyang Shangzhou take taxes to support us, so we have the responsibility to protect them from harm." ”

He looked at Zhang Yu and said: "In the midst of mildness and cruelty, we must make a choice, the lessons of blood and tears in the past tell us that gentleness has no use except to comfort ourselves, then we can only choose cruelty." ”

Zhang Yudao: "Then Zheng Sicha came back to find me, what kind of choice did he choose?"

Zheng Jie directly said his thoughts and said, "I'm here to cooperate with Zhang Shijun." ”

Zhang Yu did not speak.

Zheng Jie looked at him and continued: "Zhang Shijun, I tried to understand you, after you returned, you did not choose to join any Taoist sect, but entered the Kaiyang Academy as a teacher, you are not as impersonal as some Xuan Xiu, you don't care about anything except cultivation, when you were in Luliang Town, you once came forward to help a teenager in your own name, and we checked that old horse afterwards, and there was indeed no problem." ”

He stretched out his hand, took a booklet from his deputy, put it on the table, and pushed it in the direction of Zhang Yu, "But Luliang Town is lucky, there is no problem, but it does not mean that there is no problem elsewhere, this booklet, Zhang Shijun might as well take a look." ”

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to pick up the booklet and flipped through it, which listed the demon parasites that had been discovered in the past twenty years with a striking red pen, as well as the damage they caused.

However, he noticed that the group of people with the most problems was the monks.

Zheng Jie said in a serious tone: "These people who have been found to be parasitic are not the most terrifying, the most terrifying are those who have not been discovered.

We don't know how many people who are parasitized by the demon are still lurking in the Qingyang Upper Continent, if the person who is parasitized is just an ordinary person, as long as he is not in a key position, then it is not too difficult to find it to control, but if it is a monk, then the problem is very complicated, but among the people parasitized by the demon demon, about ninety percent are monks.

Others see that we have been targeting monks, but this is not the case, we are only targeting the people who have been infected the most by the demons, and we are not hostile to monks, but only those monks who are not controlled. ”

Zhang Yu glanced at him and said, "The monk is only under the jurisdiction of the Xuanfu, and he has never been under your control. ”

Zheng Jie immediately admitted that his words were inappropriate, and he corrected: "Maybe there is something wrong with my statement, I mean, those monks who are unwilling or have not been tested. ”

Zhang Yu said lightly: "I don't think I'm among Zheng Sicha's trust. ”

Zheng Jie said: "To be honest, I still maintain my suspicions about Zunjia, not only for Zhang Shijun, but for all those who have not been inspected by the Inspectorate, but Zhang Shijun is a Xia Shi, coupled with what you have done for a period of time, I am willing to let go of this doubt." But I still have to ask as usual, Zhang Shijun, have you ever been contaminated with the Nightmare Demon?"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the face under the hood of Zhang's hat.

Zhang Yu said very naturally: "I will conduct visualization tests every day, and so far, I have not seen a nightmare demon. ”

Zheng Jie's fierce gaze softened, and he said: "Two days ago, we caught a monk, and he was contaminated with a demon, usually as long as the demon appears, it will never be an exception, I am sure that among the Taoist sect behind this monk, there must be a monk who is contaminated by the demon, if you are pessimistic, the entire Taoist sect may have problems."

It's just that if the Dao Sect doesn't allow it, we can't go in and check it, and I'll issue a rectification order to this Dao Sect when I come down, and if they are still unwilling to cooperate, then I can only use force to suppress it. ”

Zhang Yudao: "Xuanshou will not allow it." ”

If it was possible to take down a Dao sect so easily, then Qingyang Shangzhou would have no soil for the Dao sect to survive for a long time. The first thing that can't be bypassed is the Xuantou.

This person may not care about trivial details, but he has to admit that he is quite protective of the monks who have registered in the Xuanfu.

Zheng Jie said: "Zhu Xuanshou is a problem, judging from this previous style, no matter what kind of fight, as long as it takes place between monks, then no matter what position the two sides stand on, he will not pay much attention to it, and the cooperation I just said is based on this." ”

He accentuated his tone at this moment, "I want to ask Zhang Shijun to cooperate with us and assist us in clearing up these Dao sects that may have demons. ”
