Chapter Forty-Six: The Task of the Law Enforcement Hall!
This token is pitch black, but in the middle position, there is a raised word "law", which makes people look at it, and they can't help but rise up with a sense of slaughter.
At the same time that Bai Xiaochun was stunned, a cold voice suddenly came out of this token, echoing throughout the room.
"Outer disciple Bai Xiaochun, after investigation by the Law Enforcement Hall, you have been in the field for several years, and you have only completed the task of cultivating spiritual plants once, which violates the door rules, so you must not be wrong to go out after three days of forced conscription!"
The voice was cold, revealing bursts of coldness, it seemed that if Bai Xiaochun dared to refuse, then what was waiting for him would be the harsh punishment of the Law Enforcement Hall!
"Law Enforcement Hall!" Bai Xiaochun's eyes widened suddenly, and when he chuckled in his heart, the token turned into a black light and disappeared without a trace.
There was silence all around, Bai Xiaochun's complexion kept changing, and after taking out his identity token, he found that a task that he wanted to complete forcibly appeared inside.
He was indeed negligent in the fact that the sect needed to complete the task at least once a year, but the token of this Law Enforcement Hall came suddenly, and Bai Xiaochun felt that this matter was strange no matter how he thought about it.
He was silent for a moment, walked out of the room, and after leaving the Medicine Refining Pavilion, he went straight to the top of the mountain.
"Something is wrong with this, I always feel cold behind my back...... I've been on the mountain for many years, and I've never taken the initiative to find the chair, so I'm going to visit me and ask what the hell is going on. Bai Xiaochun had a lot of worries all the way, but after arriving at the top of the mountain, he asked Li Qinghou's Taoist boy, but learned that Li Qinghou went out a few months ago and has not returned.
Bai Xiaochun complained bitterly in his heart, and when he turned to leave, he did not immediately go back to the Medicine Refining Pavilion, but went to find Xu Baocai, after all, the other party was a know-it-all, Bai Xiaochun pondered that he might be able to get some clues from the other party.
Xu Baocai, as a disciple of the outer sect of Xiangyun Mountain, lived in the courtyard on the other side of the mountain, Bai Xiaochun galloped all the way, at this moment at dusk, the sky was getting dark, and he didn't see a few figures along the way, and soon arrived outside Xu Baocai's courtyard.
This place is not as secluded as Bai Xiaochun's courtyard, but next to seven or eight courtyards, and at this moment, in the night, you can see the light of candles emitting from these courtyards.
Bai Xiaochun lowered his head, did not knock on the door, and jumped directly into it with a shake of his body, and immediately saw Xu Baocai bowing his head and writing something in a small notebook.
"Xu Baocai. Bai Xiaochun spoke in a low voice, as soon as his words came out, Xu Baocai was startled, and only after he looked up and saw Bai Xiaochun did he react.
"Senior Brother Bai. Xu Baocai was surprised, quickly got up, and let Bai Xiaochun enter the room.
"Didn't Senior Brother Bai go into retreat in the Medicine Refining Pavilion, why did he come to me?" Xu Baocai asked curiously.
"Xu Baocai, how much do you know about the Law Enforcement Hall?" Bai Xiaochun immediately spoke.
"The Law Enforcement Hall is divided into two halls, the north and the south, each of which has the right to supervise all outer disciples and miscellaneous servants in their area, but they generally do not come forward, unless they have violated some serious door rules. Xu Baocai felt that something was wrong, and seeing that Bai Xiaochun's face was gloomy, he hurriedly spoke.
"But once they come forward, they have great power, and they forcibly arrange some things not to say, and for those who defect to the sect, they can be killed directly, so to speak, the Law Enforcement Hall is a knife, a knife hanging above the head of the outer disciple, so that any outer disciple will not dare to violate the door rules. ”
"Once you violate the door rules and are targeted by the Law Enforcement Hall, you will be plucked out of the skin if you don't die......"
"However, although the rights of the Law Enforcement Hall are not small, there are also a lot of restrictions, as long as you don't violate the door rules, then there is no need to pay attention to the Law Enforcement Hall. Xu Baocai said in detail, and told Bai Xiaochun everything he knew about the Law Enforcement Hall.
Even as he spoke, he also told Bai Xiaochun all the things he heard about the disciples who were targeted by the Law Enforcement Hall, and the last misery.
"Five hundred years ago, there was a traitor in my Lingxi Sect, and he was chased and killed by the Law Enforcement Hall for seven days, and his body and soul were destroyed!"
"Three hundred years ago, an outer disciple committed a major deed, and the Law Enforcement Hall gave him a chance, but he did not repent and ignored it, and as a result, he was reported to the sect by the Law Enforcement Hall, and was punished in the Black Wind Mouth, and was torn by the crack all day long, and he is still being punished. ”
"A hundred years ago, Zhou Shandao rebelled, and after the warning of the Law Enforcement Hall, the other party was still unrepentant, so he dispatched to kill all the monks in Zhoushan Dao except for mortals, causing a sensation in all directions. ”
The more Bai Xiaochun listened, the more ugly his face became, and his heart kept churning.
"Do you mean that when the Law Enforcement Hall does things, it usually starts with a warning, and if it does not repent, it will be dealt with severely?"
"Yes, this is one of the restrictions on the Law Enforcement Hall, otherwise the Law Enforcement Hall would not have great power. Xu Baocai glanced at Bai Xiaochun, and vaguely guessed in his heart that the other party might be targeted by the Law Enforcement Hall, but this matter was too sensitive, Xu Baocai was wise to protect himself, and it was okay to say some news, but he didn't dare to get involved too much.
It's just that in the end, when Bai Xiaochun was leaving, Xu Baocai hesitated, remembered Bai Xiaochun's grass and tree attainments, and whispered a word to Bai Xiaochun.
"Senior Brother Bai, do you know the inner disciple of Qingfeng Mountain...... He is Chen Fei's cousin, and he is also a member of the Law Enforcement Hall. ”
After a stick of incense, Bai Xiaochun left, walking on the path of the sect, looking at the bright moon in the sky, Bai Xiaochun thought about what Xu Baocai said, and what he knew before was confirmed one by one, and after confirming that it was true, he sighed.
"I haven't offended anyone in the sect, if I really say that there is, Chen Fei is one, and then there are those admirers of Zhou Xinqi...... Qian Dajin, Qian Dajin!" Bai Xiaochun gritted his teeth, and after returning to the Medicine Refining Pavilion, he sat cross-legged in the room, looking at the Dan furnace in front of him, his face twitched.
"It's almost clear, my failure to complete the annual task is an inducement, this kind of thing, in fact, if no one comes to investigate, it is not a big deal, after all, it can't be that I am the only one who has not completed it, then Qian Dajin is a member of the Law Enforcement Hall, this is a personal vendetta of the communiqué!" Bai Xiaochun was silent, and after a long while, there were bloodshot in his eyes.
"If I go on a mission, this person will definitely make some moves on the way, otherwise, I won't bother so much, but even so, but after all, it is hidden, he doesn't dare to let the sect know, in general, he is passive. ”
"But if I ignore it, then it will be in his arms, he is not passive, but can take the initiative to punish me with the identity of the Law Enforcement Hall!"
After thinking for a long time, neither left nor right, Bai Xiaochun took out the identity token, carefully studied the task, and soon, he saw a familiar name inside.
"Hou Yunfei?" Bai Xiaochun was stunned, remembering that when he had just become a disciple of the outer sect, it was Hou Yunfei who introduced the sect in detail with him, and when he finished reading it, he closed his eyes and pondered.
This task is not difficult, Hou Yunfei took over the next task a few years ago, went out to carry it out, and sent back information to the sect every month, which is what any disciple who takes on a long-term task needs to do.
But two months ago, contact was lost and no information was returned.
That's why there was a mission this time, and the three outer disciples were dispatched to investigate the matter, but there was no requirement that all the clues must be found.
This kind of task is very common in the sect, generally speaking, it is enough to just search, investigate, and find some clues, and after returning to the sect, the sect will deal with it.
Besides, the disappearance of an outer disciple is not a big deal for the sect, but after all, he is also a disciple of the sect, so the matter of disappearance also needs to be dealt with.
That's where the task comes in.
Bai Xiaochun pondered for a moment, and then gritted his teeth after weighing.
"This mission, it's gone!" Bai Xiaochun was short of breath, his eyes were red, and he immediately made alchemy, he wanted to make his immortal iron skin become a great success when he went out on a mission.
Two days later, Bai Xiaochun's whole body roared, and the skin of his whole body was pitch black at this moment, and the black skin quickly returned to normal, but when he looked closely, he could faintly see a trace of red, which flashed on the skin.
"Black is iron, red is copper!"
Bai Xiaochun pressed his skin, and there was a burst of golden and iron sounds, and he got up and shook it, and the speed was even faster than before.
He tried his strength again, and finally his body jumped instantly, his thumb and index finger were pinched fiercely, and the broken lock unfolded, and the sound that came out of the void was no longer a click, but a muffled roar, although it was not big, Bai Xiaochun clearly felt that his broken lock was twice as powerful as before.
"Immortal Iron Sheet, Dacheng!" Bai Xiaochun was excited, and he had a greater grasp of the matter of going out on a mission.
"It's a pity that I can only refine a first-order elixir below the fifth level of Qi Condensation, and even if I refine my spirit, the effect of taking it is not very good. Bai Xiaochun stood in the room, feeling a little pity, but time was pressing, and he couldn't refine a second-order elixir suitable for condensing qi below the eighth layer.
Therefore, there was not much progress in cultivation, but it had reached the sixth-level Great Perfection of Qi Condensation.
"Tomorrow morning, I'm going to go out......" Bai Xiaochun was nervous in his heart, after he entered the Lingxi Sect, this was the first time he went out in the real sense, and he felt insecure, so he also refined the shield he got from Chen Fei in his pocket three times, and even felt that it was still unsafe, and he also went to refine the spirit of the few leather clothes that Xiao Bi was wearing.
In the end, I thought about it again, and went to find Zhang Dapang overnight, and borrowed his big black cauldron that was said to have an earth-fire formation, but he was still not at ease, but there was no other way, Bai Xiaochun frowned, did not go back to the alchemy pavilion, sat in his courtyard, and waited for dawn.
"Qian Dajin, when I get to Zhuji, I will definitely make you look good!" Bai Xiaochun became more and more nervous the more he thought about it, and gradually his eyes turned red, he was afraid of death, now he is no longer a person who has just entered the sect, and he already has a certain understanding of the cultivation realm.
A night of cranky thoughts...... Gradually, the day dawned.
