The previous chapters have been modified, in order to be more reasonable, the reactions of all parties to the first task have been written, and if you are interested, you can take a look, and if you don't read it, it won't affect the back.
Today's update is a previously updated chapter with minor changes.
——————
Lu Zhou hasn't been out of the Governor's Mansion for three days.
He took a leave of absence from the Taishou Mansion, and the information of the Tianxiang Pavilion asked his subordinates to send it directly to the Governor's Mansion.
Since he solved the sickle murder case in Qingxi Village, he has never gone out, and he doesn't need Li Zhilan and Gao Zhuang to remind him that he knows that if he breaks the history of embroidery and goes out, wouldn't it be the old birthday star hanging himself?
On Shen Changbai's side, he would send a crow to keep an eye on it every day, but it was calm.
The calmer he was, the more uneasy Lu Zhou felt in his heart, because what Gao Zhuang said was too accurate.
He hasn't been idle these days.
He carefully looked at this courtyard, it was obviously not appropriate to arrange the formation in the courtyard, although it was very secluded here, but in case someone inadvertently broke in, it would be a troublesome matter.
Therefore, the best place to arrange the formation is in the bedroom, even if there are guests coming, they will go to the outer hall at most, and no one will enter other people's bedrooms at will.
So this formation must be sufficient...... Exquisite.
And after having the formation cover, he doesn't have to worry about being noticed when he cultivates in it, Lu Zhou can detect that there are eight masters of the Yuan Immortal Realm in the Governor's Mansion, and it is not a good thing to be noticed by these masters.
Being able to perceive the realm of the masters around him is one of Lu Zhou's talents.
But this talent is not always working.
Because there are many magic weapons in this world that can hide cultivation.
He believes in another talent of his own.
Another of his talents is the ability to hide his realm.
But when cultivating, it is inevitable that there will be breath leakage, and without the formation covering, Lu Zhou always has a feeling of unease, especially since he has been holding back in the first tribulation realm for more than twenty years now, and there may be a thunderstorm descending at any time, so he has to be cautious.
Fortunately, his talent allowed him to even evade the tracking of the Heavenly Dao, otherwise, with the cultivation he had been holding back for twenty years now, he would have rushed to the third level of the Tribulation Realm and accepted the punishment of the third Heavenly Thunder.
There's no way, I've been mixing in the realm of Shuo for so many years, and I can hold it for one more day.
"The first layer of the formation has finally been built. ”
Lu Zhou's fingers tapped on the tabletop, carefully checked the position of each spirit stone, and after confirming that it was correct, he took out a jade slip from his arms, and the true qi was introduced into the jade slip, and a complex formation diagram appeared on the table.
"Now there are still 3,657 spirit stones in my hand, and they can also cover five layers of formations, leaving some for cultivation and the others covering two layers...... Forget it, three floors. ”
Well, one more layer is one more distraction.
......
Another three days passed.
Lu Zhou finally walked out of the room, and it felt good to be able to see the sun.
It is not easy for a person like him to stand in the sun.
Lu Zhou opened the door of the courtyard, thinking that he had been in the Governor's Mansion for so long, and he hadn't taken a good look at the Governor's Mansion, at least he had to take a look at the architectural structure of the Governor's Mansion, as well as ...... There are no no-fly zones.
He walked casually, along the bluestone road, through the walled courtyard, taking notes as he walked, several family members gathered together to discuss in a whisper, out of professional habits, Lu Zhou stopped and listened to his ears.
"Have you heard? Liujia Village outside the city is haunted!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, there are already a few crazy men in the village, and each of them looks crazy, shouting 'ghosts, there are ghosts,' and many people have seen it. ”
"Could it be that the evil cultivators caused the ghost?"
"Do evil cultivators dare to come to the vicinity of the city of our Shuo Kingdom to be demons?"
"Well, is it really a ghost?"
Lu Zhou smiled, how can there be ghosts in this world?
Although there are many monks, but the righteous path, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and evil cultivators are all human beings, and after the monks die, they will also enter reincarnation, and the ghost theory has long been criticized by various sects and sects as a fallacy and heresy.
Even if you become an immortal after crossing the catastrophe, you will die if you die, and there will be no ghosts wandering in the world at all.
I'm afraid it's just some demon beasts or evil cultivators that ordinary people haven't seen.
Evil cultivators are the best at pretending to be gods and ghosts, and the cultivation methods are cruel, stealing people's blood is only the most commonly used means, those strong men who are tossed and crazy are afraid to encounter evil cultivators who are bold and not afraid of death and run to Shenzhou City to be demons.
Lu Zhou didn't listen any more, continued to walk, and passed through a walled courtyard again.
Suddenly, he stopped.
He saw a woman in a plain dress with a goose-yellow shawl standing in the courtyard, with her back to him, cutting dead branches in the courtyard.
Lu Zhou's eyes fell on the woman's hands.
Lu Zhou had never seen such a beautiful hand, just like a finely carved mutton fat jade, without the slightest flaw.
However, Lu Zhou also knows that many women with perfect bodies have ugly faces, let alone women with good-looking hands.
He didn't intend to disturb the other party, but quietly withdrew from the courtyard.
At the moment when Lu Zhou walked out of the courtyard, the woman quietly turned around, revealing her delicate face, which was Chao Jin'er.
It's just that her clenched lips betray her nervous mood at this time.
After a long time, she sighed.
At this time, Lu Zhou's voice came from outside the courtyard, her brows wrinkled involuntarily, and she couldn't help but be angry, and eavesdropped.
As soon as Lu Zhou withdrew from the courtyard, he ran into Unger.
"Captain Lu, you're not in the yard, what are you running around?"
Unger glanced at the courtyard behind Lu Zhou, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes.
Lu Zhou chuckled: "No one told me either, you can't move around at will." ”
Unger suppressed his anger: "I'll tell you now. ”
Lu Zhou said: "Then I'll go back to my yard now." ”
Unger stretched out his hand to block his way, and said, "No need, you can go with me outside the city." ”
Lu Zhou shook his head and said, "Captain Ang just ordered not to move around at will. ”
It's you who doesn't let you go, and it's you who lets you go, when people are donkeys, you can pull them if you want?
Anger's face sank, and he said: "The order of the capital of the court, you and I will go to Liujia Village outside the city to arrest the demons!
"Demons?"
Lu Zhou was stunned, the demon evil and the demon beast evil cultivation were different.
There is a monster in this world that comes from the secret realm of reincarnation, and its name is demon.
It's just that demons and evil only exist in the secret realm of reincarnation, how can they appear in Shenzhou City?
"Yes, the demon appeared in Shenzhou City, and the capital was afraid of causing panic. Unger explained.
Lu Zhou glanced at Unger, nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”
After saying that, the two left together.
In the courtyard behind him, Chao Jin'er frowned: "If it's really a demon, can he deal with it?"
After a while, only the dead branches that had been cut off were left in the yard.
and scissors that were thrown on the ground.
......
......
"Can you go faster!"
Unger stepped on his dazzling sword at his feet, and walked through the air, and behind him fell a turtle-like continent.
"Captain Ang, I only have the cultivation of the Jiedan Realm, how to catch up with your flying sword, and besides, the soles of my feet are just the most ordinary sky talismans, which is the limit speed at this time, if you think I am flying slowly, you can go first, and I will come later." ”
“......”
"Captain Ang is afraid that I won't be able to recognize the road? I have been in Shenzhou City for decades, but I recognize the location of Liujia Village. ”
"I'll wait for you. ”
Unger slowed down, and the slow speed of his flight made him irritable, and he hadn't flown so slowly in at least a hundred years.
"Captain Ang, the sickle murder case in Qingxi Village a few days ago is quite strange, and I also wrote the suspicion in the intelligence, I don't know what the capital thinks?"
"Someone has been sent to investigate. ”
"Did you find out what happened?"
"Not yet...... Can you please say a couple less. ”
He was already flying slowly enough, and he had to be distracted to chat, and Anger wanted to drag him onto his flying sword, but the thought of letting such a villain stand on his flying sword was an insult to the flying sword.
I'm afraid the flying sword is not willing either.
Lu Zhou is not in a hurry, and occasionally comments on the surrounding scenery.
Anger was upset.
The two flew out of Shenzhou City and went straight to Liujia Village.
Liujia Village is a village under the jurisdiction of Shenzhou City, more than 100 miles away from Shenzhou City, since a few days ago, there have been strong men who have gone crazy, at first the nearby Xiuzhen sect thought that it was an evil cultivator, until today I don't know where to spread the rumors, it is not the evil cultivator, but the demon.
As soon as the news came out, the Xiuzhen sect in Shen Zhou City was all ready to move.
You must know that demons generally have secret treasures on their bodies, and even if there are no secret treasures, the skin and bones of demons are all good materials for refining weapons and alchemy.
If you want to see demons and evil spirits on weekdays, you have to go to the dangerous secret realm of reincarnation.
Now that one appeared in Shenzhou City, all the sects suddenly moved their minds and directly sent the masters of the sect to come, and even the governor's mansion also let Anger and Lu Zhou rush over.
Lu Zhou had just entered the village, and suddenly a crisp voice came from behind him.
"Senior brother, are you here too?"
Lu Zhou turned around and saw Li Zhilan, who was wearing a light green dress, hesitated for a moment and walked over.
"Senior brother is here for the villagers in the village who have been victimized by demons, right?"
Lu Zhou felt an arrow in the chest.
He hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "You're also here to catch demons?"
Li Zhilan shook her head: "No, I'm just here to see what the legendary demon looks like." ”
Lu Zhou asked again, "Is Li Muru here?"
A gloom suddenly appeared in Li Zhilan's eyes, the former senior brother would not call the master's name directly.
She shook her head, "My father has been in retreat these days, and Senior Brother Huang has brought us with him. ”
Lu Zhou nodded, didn't say anything more, and set his eyes on Liujia Village.
Well, so many people?
Li Zhilan followed Lu Zhou's gaze and explained: "The villagers found an immortal out of nowhere and is making an altar to cast spells, but so many monks can see that the immortal is just an ordinary person, I'm afraid the villagers will be deceived again......"
Lu Zhou frowned slightly, is he an ordinary person again?
