Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 130

The policeman himself was taken aback, and said in panic, "How did this happen? Am I poisoned?"

Speaking of this, the policeman's expression suddenly twisted, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch the back of his neck.

Zhang Yuqing noticed his small movements and asked, "What's on your neck?"

The policeman was stunned, and replied: "It's nothing, it's just a little itchy."

Zhang Yuqing said in a deep voice, "Turn around!"

The catcher quickly looked at Wang San, then at Zhang Yuqing, and finally had no choice but to turn around.

Zhang Yuqing and Wang San went up to take a look, only to see a row of spikes growing on the back of the policeman's neck.

"This..." Wang San only felt goose bumps all over his body.

The catcher seemed to realize that something was wrong, and his voice was already crying: "Brother Zhang, catcher Zhang, what's wrong with my neck?"

Zhang Yuqing didn't answer, but stretched out his hand and tore off the catcher's clothes, revealing the catcher's back.

Wang San took a breath for a moment, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

I saw a dense layer of black thorns growing on the entire back of the policeman, which looked ferocious and terrifying.

Zhang Yuqing turned his head and told Wang San: "Find a house in the village and lock him up. No one is allowed to approach him without my permission! Also, check to see if anyone else has the same situation. If so, let's go together." Lock it up!"

Wang San hurriedly took orders, and quickly retreated with the arrester.

At this time, Xiao Liu also helped Hong Kun who had vomited back. "Captain Zhang, how is it?" Hong Kun asked nervously.

Zhang Yuqing sighed and said, "Send someone to inform the night guards to come."

Patrol the government office at night, inside the meeting hall.

The meeting hall is spacious and solemn, but the surrounding windows are drawn with thick curtains, making the light in the hall dim and gloomy.

There were already three people sitting around the table, all of whom were powerful figures in Lucheng, namely Xia Mingxuan, captain of the night patrol guard, Zhou Cunjian, county captain, and the county magistrate of Lucheng who arrived later.

But the discussion has obviously not started yet, they are all waiting for tea, and it seems that there are still important people who have not yet arrived.

After a while, footsteps suddenly sounded.

The three present hurriedly got up, as if the status of the visitors was particularly honorable.

I saw an old man walking slowly in a splendid robe. The old man was wearing a high crown, and the clothes were embroidered with stars.He has white hair and a childlike face, although his appearance is old, but his steps are steady, and the brilliance in his eyes is even brighter than that of a man in his prime.

The old man came to the main seat and sat down, waved to the three people, and the three sat down.

The old man said slowly in a hoarse voice: "The order from above has been issued, and the blockade of Taiping Town can be lifted. Immediately send someone to Taiping Town to check. If there is no danger, open the road to the Acropolis earlier."

Zhou Cunjian stood up and replied: "Yes! Master Star Supervisor, I will handle it later."

The star supervisor is the night patrol and core leader of the local area, and also the person who really controls the power behind the scenes.

It's just that if there is no major event, the star supervisor generally does not show up.Therefore, even in Lucheng, few people know that there is a star watcher in the night patrol.

I only heard the old man who was in charge of the star envoy slowly say: "This year's sacrificial field appeared suddenly, and even the supervisor in the king's city couldn't figure it out in advance, so it suddenly appeared in Taiping Town. Bad omen."

The three people in the chamber fell silent after hearing the words.

The sudden appearance of the sacrificial field caught everyone off guard, and large-scale casualties were inevitable.

It is also fortunate that the sacrificial field appeared in Tianping Town. If it appeared in Lucheng, how could there be lives among those present.

The old man continued: "Since the sacrifice is over, there is no need to worry about it in the short term. There are still two important matters to be dealt with right now. First, Ye County has been granted by the king to Dong Chongjun as a food town. The government of Ye County We will also evacuate. The order from above is to merge the officials of Ye County into our Lu County on the spot.

Ye County and Lu County are only separated by the Xuan River, and the jurisdiction of Ye County is small. It is not surprising that the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Ye County were downgraded to Lu County.

The magistrate of Lucheng stood up and replied, "I have no objection."

However, Zhou Cunjian hesitated: "The post of head arrester in this county has just appointed a rising star. If it takes another important role in a short period of time, I'm afraid."

The old man turned his eyes to Zhou Cunjian and asked, "Then the new captor is yours?"

Under the gaze of the old man, Zhou Cunjian broke out in a cold sweat. He stood there, not knowing whether he should answer "yes" or "no".

The old man continued: "The appointment from the superior is one thing, but our arrangement is another. If you want to be an official, how can there be no dispute? You can handle such trivial matters by yourself, don't bother me."

Hearing the old man's statement, Zhou Cunjian breathed a sigh of relief: "The lower officials know."

The old man paused for a while, sat up straight, and said solemnly: "This second matter is very important! You must listen carefully, and if you are not careful, it will lead to the destruction of Lucheng!"

Everyone was stunned and listened intently.

"This matter is about the coffin that floated in the Xuan River a few days ago. The coffin is dangerous, and I dare not open it lightly. The higher-ups are very interested in it and will send someone to take it over."

Having said that, the old man changed his subject: "The most important thing is that I got other news. The monsters of Shi Shen Dao and Wu Gui Dao are also very interested in that coffin."

When the three of them heard this, they couldn't help but stare, their faces full of horror.

There are countless evil spirits in the world, and some of them form a group of powerful evil spirits.In the southern lands, the most terrifying evil organizations are the Corpse God Dao and the Five Ghost Dao.

If it is true that these two gangs of evil spirits come to Lucheng, they will definitely burn the lives of people and stain the earth with blood.

The old man saw the appearance of the three of them, and said again: "As for those evil spirits, the superiors are free to arrange. This time the award of Ye County to Dong Chongjun is one of them. You don't have to worry too much."

Although the old man said so, the three people present were still chilled all over, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"At this juncture, I will not go out again, and I will always guard the coffin." The old man said, "You must do your best to ensure the order in Lu City, and don't mess up your own position before the evil spirits arrive."

Hearing this, Xia Mingxuan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said:
"Master Supervising Star Envoy, my subordinates have learned something. On the bank of the Xuan River last night, there was a worm infested and killed two inspector brothers. The worm escaped from the body of a brother. I'm afraid... it's about to Transformed."

It was the first time that Lucheng County Magistrate and Zhou Cunjian heard about this, and they couldn't help looking at Xia Mingxuan nervously.

When the old man heard this, the criss-crossing wrinkles on his face wrinkled together: "Wangchong. Is it really troublesome? It seems that even if the evil spirits from the corpse god and the five ghosts don't come, this city of Lu will suffer great disaster."

Then, the old man regained his majesty, and ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately send people to strictly guard the main roads of the city gate, and anyone who is polluted by insects will be killed! The city gate will be closed at three o'clock, even if you are sick, give birth, or die. At the same time, clean up the outskirts of the city to stop the pests from continuing to pollute!"

The three immediately took orders: "Your officer obeys!"

After arranging everything, the old man showed a bit of depression: "Now Lucheng is at the critical point of life and death. I can't turn it around alone. You all need to work hard!"

After finishing speaking, the old man ignored the three people's answers, got up and left the hall slowly.

The discussion ended like this. Now that the storm is coming, the three of them still have many things to deal with, so they dare not stay for a long time and leave in a hurry.

Xia Mingxuan walked out of the conference hall, and a night guard who had been waiting hurriedly greeted him:
"Master Lieutenant! Just now, a police officer came to report that a massacre occurred in Xishan Village on the outskirts of the city—"

"Presumptuous!" Xia Mingxuan was upset at the moment, and immediately said angrily, "No matter what kind of tragedy, the city's government will deal with it, so what does it matter to us?"

After speaking, Xia Mingxuan left with a flick of his sleeves.

The night watchman hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and continued: "Master Captain, according to the description of the police, we judge that it is probably Wang Chong."

Xia Mingxuan stopped abruptly, and turned to look at the night guard: "Where did you say it was? Oh, Xishan Village! I'll go and see it myself!"

After walking two steps, Xia Mingxuan changed his mind again: "The more urgent and the more chaotic! The insects will come and go at night, so let's mobilize the elite to have a good rest during the day, and there will be an important action tonight! And Xishan Village, let Lu Xinglu know Boss goes to deal with it."

Zhang Yuqing was the only one in the small room.

He had sent all the arresters away, and he was the only one left to face this pile of black thorns.

Zhang Yuqing raised his internal force and pressed towards the pair of black thorns on the flesh, only to see those black thorns jump violently, and then all of them were burned.

"There is no Yin Qi. No! The Yin Qi is so thin that it is almost undetectable."

This kind of yin energy can be completely ignored, Zhang Yuqing thought for a while, the flame in his palm went out, and his skin turned black and purple for a while.

He stretched out his palm towards the rest of the black thorns, and saw those black thorns slightly avoiding the side. The flesh at the root of the black thorns was gradually melted into a pool of yellow water by the extremely corrosive internal force, but the black thorns were floating in the yellow water , but not damaged.

"The effect of internal force on this kind of thing is still too weak, but at least it has a certain effect. I will try again after my internal force is refined again."

Zhang Yuqing stood up, opened the door and went outside.

Wang San, Hong Kun and others who were waiting outside the house hurried up to meet them.

Zhang Yuqing stared at Wang San and asked, "Who is responsible for tracking the criminal's footprints?"

Wang San hurriedly replied: "Reporting to Catcher Zhang, the man's name is Mengdong, a martial artist in the first level of physical training. He was originally a hunter. After the training of Bukuu, his tracking skills are outstanding among the cops. I Just go and bring him!"

After speaking, Wang San left in a hurry.

After a while, he returned with a policeman who was young but had a bushy beard.

Zhang Yuqing asked in a deep voice: "Where did you follow the footprints, tell the truth!"

The catcher named Mengdong's eyes flickered for a while, then he suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy:

"Master Catcher, the little one didn't hide it on purpose, but because I didn't dare to follow!"

Only then did Wang San realize that Meng Dong had lied to him before, and immediately glared at Meng Dong.

Zhang Yuqing stepped forward and looked down at Mengdong and asked, "Why don't you dare to follow?"

Meng Dong hurriedly replied: "Because... because I feel that what I'm following... is not a person! Everyone walks in different postures, and you can find clues through footprints and other traces. But the guy I'm following ,he--"

"Okay!" Zhang Yuqing interrupted, he already knew what it was.

"What I want to know is where did he go?"

Mengdong said truthfully: "It's a cave on the west mountain! When we got to the entrance of the cave, the little ones dare not go in. Please catch the boss and bypass the villain!"

Zhang Yuqing picked Mengdong up from the ground: "You take me there now!"

Before Mengdong could speak, Hong Kun on the side couldn't help but said: "Captain Zhang, the night guards have already sent people to notify, do you think it's better to wait for them to come over before discussing?"

When Hong Kun saw the tragedy in the village, he was already so frightened that he felt guilty. He was afraid that Zhang Yuqing's intrusion would cause the terrifying evil spirits, so he thought it would be best to leave this kind of matter to the night guards.

Zhang Yuqing looked at Hong Kun for a while, and then said: "Then you stay here, and when the night patrol arrives, tell them the truth about everything here."

"Okay, okay!" Hong Kun said hastily, but then felt a little guilty, "That...Zhang Butou, I'm not timid, but—"

Zhang Yuqing stopped Hong Kun's words with a wave of his hand, and continued to instruct the others: "Before the arrival of the night patrol, you all abide by your duties and are not allowed to leave without authorization."

Wang San and Xiao Liu wanted to accompany them, but Zhang Yuqing refused.

Now that Zhang Yuqing is lacking in yin energy, how could he hand over such an opportunity to the night guards.

After the confession, Zhang Yuqing took Mengdong away and headed towards the west mountain behind the village.

The mountain road is rugged and the forest is lush.

As it gradually enters the deep mountains, the road has been covered by weeds, and there are few people around.

The branches are fresh and green, the sun is warm, and the birds and insects are singing endlessly.

Mengdong has been back and forth once, but he is no stranger to the surroundings.

After a while, the two came to a mountain wall covered with vines, and there was a huge crack in the mountain wall.

The cracks are wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, allowing people to enter at the bottom.

In the deeper place, the sunlight can no longer reach it, and it is completely dark.

Surprisingly, among the lush grass around the entrance of the cave, some remnants of ancient sacrifices can be faintly seen.

I only heard Meng Dong say: "The head catcher doesn't know something, this cave is unknown, entering rashly is bound to be very dangerous!"

Zhang Yuqing looked into the cave. The evil spirits were afraid of the sun and would hide in dark places during the day. This is a very suitable place to hide.

"Okay, you guys wait here, I can go in alone, don't worry, I have my own measure."

After speaking, he got into the cave.

The ground is wet, and a line of fresh footprints leads directly into the stone group.

Zhang Yuqing followed the footprints down the gentle slope and came to a huge boulder.

There are many human skeletons at the foot of the boulder, including decayed fabrics and rusty weapons.

Skeletal weapons were scattered all over the place, and the number was already innumerable.
