lethal arsenal

Chapter 525: Moon Pond Empress
"Ugh."

Yin Ling'er sighed endlessly, just like what Lin Dong said - when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain why.

In a small courtyard, seven or eight servants were crowded in front and back.

Coincidentally... at this moment, Lin Dong hadn't even wiped off the blood on his fingers. The young master's body had its stomach and abdomen opened, and the eye-catching cross knife wound seemed to remind everyone who the murderer was.

The leading police officer almost stabbed Lin Dong's face with the bright tip of his knife.

As the intruding police officer yelled "Get it!", the originally silent night was completely broken by the noise.

The knife was rubbed against his cheek, and Lin Dong was used to looking at him with disdain. At this moment, a normal person would have raised his hands in the air, indicating no harm, vocalized his wishes and cooperated rationally... But in Lin Dong's case, he easily grasped the tip of the knife between his fingers.

Boom.

With a slight exertion, the tip of the knife flew out.

The bright sharp blade pierced the police leader's cheek, and a trace of blood oozed out.

"hateful!"

It would be okay if Lin Dong and the two broke the window and ran away at this moment.

"Brothers, the thieves are fierce. Let's get on top of each other shoulder to shoulder. Also, take my Panlong stick."

Yes, this person is Zhu Zhong, a student of Wulong Academy.

The purpose of Lin Dong's trip was to find Zhu Zhong and Shifang. Unexpectedly, half of it was completed so quickly... However, what surprised Lin Dong was that Zhu Zhong completely forgot his identity.

The messenger cupped his hands and reported back.

Lin Dong fought all the way and sealed away the fierce ghost who wielded the broken sword, Wang Jingyu, the ancestor of the Wang family, and learned a lot of information from this ghost.

It was only then that Yin Ling'er added a word without saltiness.

"Not in the city?"

……

But these police officers didn't dare to go in, and they suddenly fell into a mysterious situation.

Zhu Zhong shouted loudly, and the next moment, he was kicked out of the door with a bang.

The brow under the fox mask was slightly raised.

In an instant, it was as if a soy sauce shop had opened... As blood flew out, Zhu Zhong fell down without saying a word.

You say you are capable, but actually you have no ability? It only occasionally captures people's souls, allowing ordinary people to appear in a dream, to fulfill the wishes of some people, and to absorb some energy as a reward. Because of its covert behavior, it has increased a lot over the years. Taoism.

"Empress Yuechi is not in the city now. All affairs are being taken care of by Sun Erniang, the housekeeper's wife."

"Move quickly, there is Shanghe ahead."

"We are not murderers."

But Lin Dong stayed put and refused to move, letting the policeman scold him from the bottom of his heart?
"What happened? Doesn't it make us look incompetent?"

There were actually two or three demon kings raised in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

When Lin Dong opened the blade with two fingers, he flicked his right leg and suddenly kicked Zhu Zhong out like a snake in the grass.

Lin Dong frowned and asked.

First, the so-called leader of the Southern Kingdom is actually an enlightened ant queen who created the demon kingdom under a willow tree.

Zhu Zhong patted the dust on his body, climbed up from the ground with a gray face and said.

The other policemen saw the leader lying on the ground and unable to get up. For a moment, he could neither advance nor retreat. He froze in place with the knife in his hand.

He actually thinks that he is a fictional character created by Fudo Myooh, the leader of the police in Suolong City?

Zhu Zhong was originally tall and burly, with a body like a thick wall, and he knocked over two or three of his men.

Snapped!
Yin Ling'er flicked her finger, the sword ball flew out, and an incisor covered in blood came out. The sword ball hit the iron rod, and the Panlong iron rod rebounded and hit Zhu Zhong's front door.

It was also before that when Lin Dong was fighting against the old demon from Black Mountain, he was the guy who disappeared into the night in his cassocks with the young monk from Shifang.

Smoke and dust stirred up the ground.

Lin Dong's second soul looked at the face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a little surprised.

Yin Ling'er wasn't as thoughtful as Lin Dong. Although she had restrained her strength, Zhu Zhong couldn't bear the flick of her fingers.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to it.

For these police officers, at least they can go back to do their work.

Lin Dong frowned as he saw this, how could this guy be so stupid?
In the past, Zhu Zhong looked like a rough guy, but he was actually quite delicate at heart. Now he has become a fool?

"Who are you in charge of?"

"Zhu Zhong?"

Lin Dong used the lowest force when he took action, fearing to hurt someone.

The second soul wearing the white fox face mask whispered softly.

The officers did not wait for a reply. Yin Ling'er pointed a finger and the sword pill flew into the air, making a whistling sound. The sword was fierce and hung above the heads of the officers. Only then did some of them, who could not withstand the pressure, reveal the situation like beans.

Just as Lin Dong was thinking about it, Zhu Zhong picked up the Panlong Iron Bar and roared down towards it.

The second demon king calls himself the Lord of the Mountain, also known as the Lord of One Hundred Ghosts.

This one is really awesome, and you can tell from his name that he is very unusual.

Different from the Southern Kingdom's main enclosure, the Mountain Lord actually controls most of the monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The Ghost Prefect joined his command, so why did he issue a death order to Lin Dong and others?
Wang Jingyu didn't know, he only knew that the source of the hunt order was the mountain owner.

And the third one is called the Glazed Lion.

The root cause cannot be studied, but earlier, this demon was responsible for the tide of beasts that rushed into the city.

Later, he was surrendered by an unknown great monk, and is now being suppressed outside Suolong City, under the jungle of the pagoda of Fudo Myoto Temple deep in the mountains.

Old ghost Lin Jingyu didn't know much about the news in the mountains.

It was only in these years that he woke up from the wasteland.

According to Wang Jingyu, as Wang Sheng's grandfather, he has an ancestral hall in Suolong City, so normally he will not turn into a ghost.

Even if he turns into a vicious evil spirit, he should wake up from the ancestral hall.

But in fact, when he woke up, he was in the wilderness, and it was a battlefield where he had fought an evil dragon.

In the battlefield, there are still many ghost soldiers, most of whom are ruled by the ghost king.

Wang Jingyu killed the ghost king and reorganized the ghost soldiers' army. Later, he encountered the ghost prefect's army and had no choice but to surrender to him.

What happened after that was nothing worth mentioning.

After defeating the ghost governor, there were no obstacles on the way forward. Apart from killing a few ferocious beasts on the way, the road was smooth and smooth until reaching the Shang River.

Just when we were approaching the river.

A group of people rushed out from one end of the mountain road.

The horse leading the front was actually a rare red-blooded horse with four hooves stepping on flames. The horse's head was covered with a fine scale helmet. On the back was a female general wearing a phoenix-winged hood and holding a handle. A silver spear with a heroic appearance.

"Brother Sheng!"

Lin Dong raised his arms forward and was about to pull out the sword from the door panel when, unexpectedly, the female general called out like a warbler.

"Xu~"

The red-blooded horse stopped in front of Lin Dong.

"Brother Sheng, you are back."

The female general said in surprise, she must be Wang Sheng's relative?

"who are you?"

Lin Dong frowned, this woman was young and her appearance was very delicate.

"Brother Sheng, where am I Yuechi? What's wrong with you?" the girl general asked.

Lin Dong said nothing and carefully scanned the beauty's appearance.

Moon Pond?

Fu Yuechi?
The eldest daughter among the Fu family sisters.

The pair of sisters rescued by Lin Dong's second spirit.

Similarly, this girl is also called Yuechi Empress in this city. She is the official wife of the city lord Wang Sheng and the wife of Ming matchmaker.

This little girl looks good, with snow-white skin, a delicate face, and a pair of watery eyes that seem to be able to talk, with thousands of friendships hidden in them.

Originally, Lin Dong was still a little dissatisfied with the identity of Fudo Mingou's editor, but when he saw this young general, his so-called dissatisfaction faded away.

I never expected that Prince Fudo would actually give someone a wife.

Lin Dong restrained his greedy eyes and glanced at the army behind Fu Yuechi.

There was a black tide of cavalry, and there were hundreds of cavalry and horses. At a glance, it was completely black. The killing cavalry were holding long swords, some were carrying spears, and they were all wearing helmets and armor.

Soldiers on both sides carried and fluttered flags with a large king character on them.

The army is approaching, and a chilling air has already hit us...

Lin Dong nodded slightly and thought to himself: "Good intentions, but he looks a bit strong."

Compared to the pretty girls with stunning looks, it was these soldiers who were killing and killing more that aroused Lin Dong's interest.

Regarding this incident, Wang Sheng was in danger during the expedition and was intercepted on the way back. In fact, Lin Dong had a lot of doubts in his heart... He couldn't wait to return to the city lord's mansion, explore the cause and effect, and find out the black hand behind the scenes.

……

"I didn't expect you to be quite reasonable."

Under the mask of Bai Hu'er, Lin Dong's second soul grinned. He thought he had some explanation... but unexpectedly, his luck was surprisingly good.

Above the guards, Sun Erniang, the housekeeper who was responsible for most matters in Suolong City, actually said that they had no suspicion.

Of course, Sun Erniang still asked Lin Dong and Yin Ling'er to go to the city lord's mansion to record a confession.

The city lord of Suolong City, this position is almost equivalent to the Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty, with military and political power in hand.

Sun Er Niang was only known as the housekeeper of the mansion, but she actually had great power in the city.

Especially at this moment, the city lord Wang Sheng is out fighting, and the city lord's wife is also out on business now.

Everything in the mansion, as well as some of the official affairs in the city, were handed over to Sun Erniang.

This woman has an average appearance, with a thick build, a black mole under her chin, and triangular eyes like a snake and python, with a strong evil aura in her eyes.

Lin Dong's second soul took one look and remembered this person's identity.

When the Fu sisters were rescued, there was a servant girl in the carriage who was wielding a flying sword. Wasn't this the same person?
Lin Dong recognized her at a glance, but this woman was just like Ning Caichen and Ma Wencai, who was confused by the illusion spun by King Fudo.

She doesn't know anything about what happened in the past. The only memory she has is that she served the Wang family of Suolong City, served the previous generation of city lord Wang Danian, and now serves the younger city lord Wang Sheng and his wife.

How strange?

The thought flashed across Lin Dong's mind. Prince Fudo could directly remove a person's past memories and inject a new memory into them.

So, here is the problem?
Is this person the same person as in the past, or should he recognize him as a new person?

Isn't a person's life made up of memories?
When the truth is false, the false is also true. If it weren't for Lin Dong, the people in the academy might have spent their lives in this virtual reality, right?

Such thoughts flashed past.

"On the one hand, it's reasonable, but on the other hand, it's because you are indeed not the murderer?"

The evil spirit flashed in Sun Erniang's eyes.

It wasn't because she was afraid of Lin Dong, but because...

"Why are you so sure?"

Yin Linger asked coldly.

"Because the murderer is a woman, a woman who is a little too beautiful."

Sun Erniang explained lightly.

"How do you know?"

Yin Ling'er asked angrily.

"Because I have fought against each other. In fact, a few days ago, not long after the city lord left for the battle, murders occurred one after another in the city. These murders have one thing in common, and that is - without exception, the hearts of the deceased have been taken out. These days, Under the pursuit of our great Empress Yuechi, the gangster has been discovered. My empress and I had carried out a siege before and found that the heart-eating demon was actually a woman..."

Halfway through her words, Sun Erniang stopped talking.

"Hey, why didn't you say anything?"

Yin Linger continued to ask.

Sun Erniang showed a meaningful expression, which clearly meant - this is a secret in the mansion, and it is not allowed for ordinary people to know.

"If you don't say anything, we will go back."

Lin Dong saw through this man's thoughts and took over the conversation.

Sun Erniang was choked and said quickly: "Empress Yuechi went out of the city because of important matters. Now... I mean, now the mansion is offering a large reward and recruiting experts to help in the boxing. If the two of them can help each other, there will be great help when the empress comes back." Thanks."

"Is that so?"

Lin Dong touched his chin and thought about it.

Thinking of the various arrangements of King Fudo, Lin Dong also became curious and wanted to find out what the powerful man wanted to do?
That's exactly what I thought.

Lin Dong's second spirit cupped his hands and said, "Conquering demons and slaying them is our bounden duty as demon hunters. This matter is unavoidable."

"Okay. You two, please follow me."

What happened next was somewhat beyond Lin Dong's expectation. He thought that Sun Erniang would continue to reveal some secrets, but unexpectedly, she took them to the hall of the city lord's mansion.

At this moment, there were actually several people in the hall. As soon as they appeared, several glances came to them.

Sun Erniang introduced everyone to Lin Dong and Yin Linger.

"The first righteous man on the left is..."

What a blast.

Lin Dong turned his head slightly and looked at each one, "What kind of rotten fish and shrimps are they all?" This thought flashed through his heart.

One of them was the bearded Taoist who planted pears in front of the inn.

In addition, sitting on the stool was a carefree and handsome swordsman who also carried a big sword on his back. What a coincidence, this man was Yiye Zhiqiu.

Yiye Zhiqiu was holding a corner of the table with his forearms and was picking his nose. He didn't know if he recognized Lin Dong's second soul.

And apart from that.

There was also a young butcher on the chair who was handling the butcher knife perfectly.

People who kill dogs and pickle pigs can smell the fishy smell from their bodies even from a distance.

In addition, there was another frail scholar. He was very fair and handsome, but his body was so thin that he could fall down if the wind blew. This man was gently shaking his folding fan and smiling at Lin Dong.

Expect these people to deal with the murderous devil?
Except for Yiye Zhiqiu who can fight, several others...

"I'm looking at Xuan."

Yin Ling'er murmured something in a low voice, revealing what was in Lin Dong's heart.

"Everyone, this is..."

Sun Erniang then introduced Lin Dong to the "masters" present. She knew very little about Lin Dong, only said that he was a powerful character, and emphasized the sword pills that Yin Ling'er had on hand.

"Everyone present here is a person with strong martial arts skills, and they are willing to help the people catch the murderer. I am extremely grateful for everyone's contribution. I would like to thank you all on behalf of Yuechi Empress. However, I want to emphasize some details. Please listen carefully. …”
