Chapter IV: The Division of Heavenly Punishment

Everyone in the lobby turned their heads when they heard this, but saw three people walking in through the main entrance. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

All three of them wore the same black suits, with a horizontal knife hanging from their left waist and a leather bag under their right waist. At the present was a middle-aged man with a lean body and eyes as bright as electricity, dressed in black with two gold threads embroidered on his right shoulder, and behind him walked side by side two young men with tall torsos and grim faces, each wearing a black robe with a gold thread embroidered on their shoulders.

"Heavenly Punishment Division!"

The moment he saw these three people, the name suddenly flashed in Li Gongfu's heart.

Although the memories of the ex have been fused, many messages are still dormant and need to be triggered when encountering relevant people and things.

"Heavenly Punishment Division" is a rather mysterious department of the Dayu Dynasty, it is said that it has existed in the previous Tang Dynasty, with a history of thousands of years, and its duty is to arrest or kill the demons and monsters that afflict the world.

Under the rule of Da Yu, administrative regions were divided into three levels: provincial, prefectural, and county, and the "Heavenly Punishment Division" had subdivisions at both the provincial and prefectural levels, which were responsible for supervising and suppressing evil spirits in the areas under their jurisdiction.

The head of each branch of the "Heavenly Punishment Division" is called the first seat, and the subordinates become deacons, and the upper and lower are still dressed in Xuanyi, the color and style of clothing are the same, and only the number of gold stars and gold threads embroidered on the shoulders are different to distinguish the ranks. Judging from this, among the three people who came to the hall at this moment, they should be one second-level deacon and two first-class deacons of the Hangzhou Prefecture Branch.

Although the "Heavenly Punishment Division" does not belong to the official rank, its identity is quite transcendent. Although the three people who came belonged to the bottom of the "Heavenly Punishment Division", Yang Xingzhi, the lord of the county, did not dare to slack off, got up from his seat at that time, bypassed the public case and stepped forward to greet him.

"Deacons Dong Lin, Xu Liang, and He Jie of the Hangzhou Prefecture Branch of the Heavenly Punishment Division have seen Yang Xianzun!"

Seeing Yang Xingzhi's downgrade to greet him, the three people of the "Heavenly Punishment Division" were not rude, and they hugged their fists together and gave a salute.

Yang Xingzhi said with a smile: "The three deacons don't need to be polite, such a strange thing has happened under the rule, and the official is about to send someone to your company to ask for advice on how to deal with it, and I don't want the three of them to come first." ”

Dong Lin, the second-level deacon who was the leader, looked at the hall crowded with the bitter master, and frowned slightly: "Yang Xianzun, this is not a place to speak, please find a quiet place to speak." ”

Yang Xingzhi hurriedly ordered people to appease these sufferers, and he asked the three of them to go to the back hall to talk. Li Gongfu and his master Zhu Pheasant, as Yang Xingzhi's right-hand men, were also named by him to follow.

When they arrived at the back hall, Yang Xingzhi invited Dong Lin and the other three to sit down, and Li Gongfu and Zhu Pheasant could only stand on the side.

Yang Xingzhi smiled bitterly at Dong Lin and said: "Deacon Dong, since this official took office, it is the first time he has encountered such a case, how to deal with it, and I also ask Deacon Dong for some advice." ”

Dong Lin arched his hand and said: "The county is polite, this matter is already the responsibility of my 'Heavenly Punishment Division'." Just now, the three of us have already looked at the families where the accident occurred, and judging from the residual breath at the scene, it is indeed not a human but a demon who committed the crime. ”

Yang Xingzhi's face became extremely ugly, and he frowned and asked, "Can Deacon Dong find out what kind of demon it is?"

Dong Lin said with some disgust: "There is a lingering commotion in that breath, it should be the fox demon." ”

Yang Xingzhi asked again: "Dare to ask the three deacons how they want to deal with those fox demons?"

Dong Lin seemed to have a firm mind, and replied in a clear manner: "First of all, it is natural to find the hiding place of the fox demon, which can be done by my 'Heavenly Punishment Division's own secret method." It's just that there should be more than one fox demon, and the three of us are afraid that it will be difficult to catch it all, and we must ask the county to send some capable people to help. ”

When Yang Xingzhi heard this request, he immediately set his eyes on Li Gongfu, who was standing aside.

Li Gongfu smiled bitterly in his heart, but he still stepped forward without hesitation, and arched his hand to Dong Lin and said: "Li Gongfu, who is catching the head in Xia Qiantang County, I don't know what Deacon Dong needs, Li and his brothers are all waiting to be sent. ”

"Well, since Li Zhutou is willing to help, please select ten brothers who are skilled in the bow and arrow to help. Dong Lin smiled calmly, and then turned to Yang Xingzhi, "I also asked the county to transfer ten strong bows and one hundred feather arrows from the treasury for Dong to use." ”

"Okay, this official will arrange it immediately. Yang Xingzhi agreed, and then ordered, "Li Tou'er, you go and select people, and Master Zhu, you go to the treasury to get ten pairs of good bows and arrows." ”

Li Gongfu and Zhu Pheasant took the order together.

Not long after, Zhu Pheasant led people to carry ten hard bows and a hundred white feathered and black-stemmed arrows piled up in the backyard. Li Gongfu also selected nine capable catchers, including himself a total of ten people - at the moment of major events, he naturally has to charge ahead, and there is no reason to hide behind.

Dong Lin and the other three were also accompanied by Yang Xingzhi to the backyard, and when they saw the ten pairs of bows and arrows and the ten people standing solemnly, Li Gongfu and the other ten, they nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Dong Lin waved his hand to Xu Liang and He Jie beside him.

Xu and He immediately walked to the bows and arrows, and each took out a thick pile of yellow rune paper painted with cinnabar talismans from the leather bag on his waist. They each took a feathered arrow in their hands and wrapped a long piece of narrow rune paper diagonally around the stem of the arrow. After wrapping one, they set aside the feathered arrows in their hands and then picked up the next one and concocted it in the same way. Their movements were quite skillful and quick, but in a matter of moments, they had processed a full hundred feathered arrows.

Dong Lin took a few steps forward, stood in a triangular formation with Xu Liang and He Jie, and surrounded the feather arrows neatly placed on the ground in the center. The three of them sealed with their hands, and said with words in their mouths: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, the root of all qi." The golden light appears quickly, covering real people. Wisdom is thorough, and the five are soaring. Demons are frightened, and spirits are dead!"

After the spell was finished, the three of them pinched the sword trick with the two fingers of their right hand at the same time, and the rune paper wrapped in the hundred feather arrows spontaneously combusted without wind.

The flame of the rune paper was extremely strange, and in the blink of an eye, the rune paper was burned clean, and not even a trace of ash was left, and the arrow stems wrapped in the rune paper did not have the slightest trace of being burned, but there were some more vermilion stripes. When I looked closely, it was the talisman on the rune paper that was strangely imprinted on it.

Dong turned to Li Gongfu and said, "Li Zhutou, please bring everyone forward and take a bow and ten arrows each." ”

Li Gongfu guessed that these feather arrows that had been processed and fed by the three of them must have a wonderful use, and said that when they faced the fox demon, this was a sharp weapon to protect their lives, so he immediately took the lead in stepping forward, chose a strong oblique back on his body, and took a quiver, took ten feather arrows and hung them on his waist.

Seeing him like this, the other nine catchers all did the same.

After everyone took the bow and arrow and stood up again, Dong Lin raised his voice and said: "Everyone, these feather arrows have been blessed by Dong and others with the 'Golden Light Talisman' to destroy demons and evil spirits. ”

In this case, Li and the nine brothers were all under the dispatch of the three deacons. Li Gongfu saw the methods of Dong Lin and the other three with his own eyes, and his somewhat nervous heart settled down a little.

Dong Lin saw that everyone was ready to stop, so he didn't delay any longer, and after bidding farewell to Yang Xingzhi, he led everyone out of the door.
