Chapter 279 Inquiry and the Three Great Demons
Qitong Mansion, Zhao Family.

While drinking tea, Zhao Lingxiao looked at Chu Qiguang in front of him and sighed, "Oh, you are too impatient."

"Then Song Baoyi is not only a thousand households of the town magician in Shuzhou, but also one of the leaders of the hunter school. This Shuzhou is their territory. If you don't greet them well, it may be difficult for you to move forward in the next few years."

Chu Qiguang looked at the courtyard where Zhao Lingxiao was. Although it was covered with a thin layer of snow, he could still see that in spring, the courtyard must be full of small bridges, flowing water and green trees.

Just this Zhao family's mansion has much more heritage than the Wu's mansion he had seen in Qingyang County.

He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, then asked: "Master Zhao, I'm new to Shu Prefecture, and I don't know much about the situation here, why don't you tell me?"

Zhao Lingxiao looked at Chu Qiguang in front of him. He had taught him the Daoist scriptures on the mountain for a year, and he could be regarded as having a master-student relationship, and he was even more moved by the other party's dedication to the Taoist scriptures.

Now that he heard that the student had offended Song Baoyi, he also became worried.

"The land of Shuzhou has a complex terrain with countless mountains and mountains. Although the imperial court has [-] prefectures, most of them are mixed among the mountains and rivers..."

"You have to remember that this place is different from the Central Plains. Whether it is the number or quality of monsters, they are definitely far more than those you have encountered in the past."

"The hunter school here rushes to the front line, which is completely different from the members of Zhenmensi you met on Chaoyao Mountain."

"Compared with power and wealth, they value strength more."

Listening to Zhao Lingxiao's explanation, Chu Qiguang gradually gained a deeper understanding of the situation in Shuzhou.

He concluded in his heart: "In general, there are many ethnic minorities, many mountain people, many mountain villages, complex terrain, and the rule of the imperial court is only concentrated in a few big cities." '

'It would be too costly and expensive to rule in the high mountains...then hand it over to the local chieftain to maintain the rule. '

'Because there are many mountains and many waters, there are many mountain spirits, wild monsters, ghosts and ghosts hidden. '

'Mountain people are ignorant and often turn to ghosts and gods for help when they encounter problems, and thus spread a lot of primitive beliefs and cults. '

'Besides, there are a large number of monsters living in the Daxue Mountain in the southwest, known as the 'Demon Country'. '

'These monsters are all monsters who joined the Dragon Clan when the Dragon Clan had cholera in the Central Plains before the founding of the country. '

After Taizu swept the world, the dragon clan returned to the East China Sea, while the monsters who originally followed them escaped into Shuzhou, and were finally driven into the Daxue Mountain. '

'The snow-capped mountains are vast, and it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to hunt down and kill them. This group of monsters reproduces in it from generation to generation, and then attracts more monsters. '

'In recent years, it seems that the big man is weak, and he has repeatedly clashed with the officers and soldiers here. '

'Under various factors, the monsters in the entire Shuzhou have a huge living space, and they are so powerful that they can even wrestle with the officers and soldiers. '

After going through all these things in his head, Chu Qiguang asked again: "Have you heard of these two martial arts, the Hunter School's Vajra Interpretation and Iron Bone Kungfu?"

"King Kong Interpretation, Steel and Iron Bone Kungfu?" Zhao Lingxiao said, "These two are the unique martial arts of the Hunter School, right? Why do you ask this?"

He became puzzled: "You don't want to learn these two martial arts, do you?"

Thinking about the "Sumeru King Sutra" with more than 3000 days left in the countdown, Chu Qiguang smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm just a little curious after hearing about it."

Zhao Lingxiao said seriously: "There are many monsters in the land of Shuzhou, so the imperial court sent the hunter school who is the best at dealing with monsters in the Zhenmagic Department to suppress this place."

He reminded: "But after a long time, this place will become the territory of the hunter school. It is impossible for you, a demon assassin school, to learn the vajra interpretation and the steel and iron bone skills."

Chu Qiguang smiled and said nothing, but asked again: "The Martial God of the Hunter School is also in Shuzhou, right?"

The Martial God of the Hunter School is named 'Baishihe' and nicknamed 'The Fierce God'.

He entered Taoism with "Xu Mi Moving Mountain Strength", and he is a leading figure in the hunter school.

Zhao Lingxiao said: "Bai Wushen has been sitting in Xuanji Mountain all year round, which is an important gateway between Daxue Mountain and Shuzhou."

Chu Qiguang then chatted with Zhao Lingxiao, and became more familiar with the situation in Shuzhou.Especially in Bafu, where he was about to take office, he even asked a few more questions from Zhao Lingxiao.

But he looked at Zhao Lingxiao's thin face and sunken eyes, and asked with concern: "Master Zhao, are you alright?"

Zhao Lingxiao shook his head with a wry smile: "It's okay."

After leaving the Zhao family, Chu Qiguang and his party went on the road again, this time the destination was Bafu, where he worked for hundreds of households.

But when Chu Qiguang was on his way, he didn't know that a piece of news had spread to the ears of monsters and goblins throughout Shuzhou.

……

That evening, Chu Qiguang and his party were riding horses to the next station.

Hao Xiangtong said: "The scenery in Shuzhou is indeed beautiful, but there are too many mountains here, and the journey is too tiring."

Chu Qiguang said: "I should be able to reach Bafu tonight, and then I can have a good rest."

And when they were on their way, three big monsters were watching them on a nearby cliff.

These three monsters were of different sizes and races, but they all had deep auras, and their eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of blood.

If there are monsters from Shuzhou, or veterans of the Shuzhou town magic division, I am afraid that these three monsters can be recognized at a glance. Hundreds of little demons roared through the mountains and forests, and for more than a decade, they did all sorts of crimes in the villages and towns.

And Bafu, where Chu Qiguang is going to work this time, is also one of their sites.

One of them looks exactly like a tiger or leopard, and when it opens its mouth, it sounds like metal and stone. It is the king of the four demon kings.

I just heard King Huntian say: "This is the new Baihu from the Bafu? There are only [-] households from the Zhenma Division in the four realms. This is the first time I have seen them."

A white ape next to him laughed and said: "It's him, called Chu Qiguang. It is said that the old emperor gave him a lot of elixir and miraculous medicine, and he will benefit a lot from taking it."

Another strange man with a dark body, a human-like appearance, but a green face and fangs with a pair of wings said: "Tongtianweng... Have you ever thought about what would happen if Chu Qiguang had already eaten the elixir?"

The monkey monster known as Tong Tianweng laughed again, showing a pair of fangs and said: "Old Jieji, what else is there to say? Of course he ate his bones."

The monster Jie Jigui shook his head: "You and I have been in Shuzhou for so many years, relying on the mantra of bullying the weak, bullying the weak and fearing the hard."

"It's easy to kill a hundred households of Zhenmagus, but then Zhenmagus is furious, what should we do? If Baishihe is provoked, we really don't know who will eat whom."

Hearing the name of the fierce god Baishihe, the three big monsters present couldn't help shaking.

The reason why Baishihe is called a fierce god is not only because he fights like a madman, but also because he will skin the monsters alive after killing them, and eat their flesh alive, eating hundreds of monsters every year.

In the eyes of the ghosts and goblins in Shuzhou, these murderous people are the living kings of Hades.

Monkey Demon Tongtian Weng forced a laugh and said, "You don't have to be afraid, there are four schools in the Zhenmagic Division, Chu Qiguang belongs to the Demon Assassin School, and Shuzhou is the territory of the Hunter School."

"I heard that Chu Qiguang offended Song Baoyi, a thousand households, on the first day he arrived in Jinrong Mansion. The Zhenmagic Division in Shuzhou will not stand up for him."
