I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 105 The Secret on the Holy Mountain
  The golden arowana was once the immortal beast that protected the country.

Now being suppressed under black labor, his power was extracted by Emperor Wan Jing and named [Imperial Law].

In order to stabilize his political power, he gave part of the [Imperial Law] to the Three Law Divisions. This move can be said to be quite subtle.

As we all know, Bai Wuyi is a scholar, and the whole world advocates martial arts. This is not a good thing for rulers, because it represents variables that are difficult to control.

But the emergence of the [Imperial Law] gave scholars power. As long as they were talented and loyal to the emperor, they could gain powerful power and suppress those warriors.

Over time, the three law divisions and the army formed a countervailing force. This was the power of the emperor.

Of course, the strength and amount of the [Imperial Law] are all checked and balanced by the emperor, and it is impossible for you to use them without limit.

Just like that Gong Shilang, without the support of someone behind him, with his own [Imperial Law] power, he would not be able to cure the gold-touching guest's scale poison.

"I understand the truth, but how come a random thief can use [Imperial Law]?"

There are several masters who can defeat the Tsing Yi Department with one blow, and the identity of the other party is definitely not simple.

"Is he a fourth-grade official or above?"

"Do you think a fourth-grade official needs to pretend to be a county magistrate?"

"……Too."

If there is no result from the discussion, then the problem of the little thief of the law should be put out of mind for the time being.

Anyway, the one who came to join in the fun was harmless. The more critical question now is why the six-eared monkey and the snowman started fighting.

You know, the little thief of the law was only attacked once and then withdrew from the competition.

The two monster clans in front of them were killing each other, killing each other, and taking over the position of county magistrate back and forth. Such desperate postures made no sense at all.

He glanced at the body of the six-eared monkey, and then fixed his gaze on the snowman: "You are not going to commit suicide by taking poison like it. By the way, I didn't even see its mouth."

"No, no, we snowmen are a friendly race and do not advocate violence."

"Really? How many monkeys were stabbed to death?"

"About 15 of them. Don't worry, I've buried them all."

"You're quite a nice person!"

Snowmen are really a strange species.

With its festive appearance, it really looked like a decoration. It had no arms, no legs, no mouth, and its round body just slid around. Even Sister Pan couldn't help but crawl out and poke this guy.

"Come on, let me transform and see."

"No, no, this guy's flames are too strong, we can't activate his ability."

Snowman's transformation is more like a shaping ability. After the transformation, except that his face looks whiter, there is no other difference.

Of course, it doesn't work when it comes to high temperatures. For example, the tinderbox that was provoked burst into flames next to it, scaring the child.

"Then tell me first, why did you kill the county magistrate? And why did you replace him?"

"We didn't kill the people, but the monkeys. We just thought this plan was feasible, so we killed the monkeys to serve as officials."

"What use is this little magistrate to you?"

"He can help us fight against monsters!"

"..."

As monsters, they come to humans for help to deal with monsters. These snowmen look cute and stupid, but they are also quite smart.

"The monsters you are talking about are the ones you described to me yesterday?"

"Yes! They really exist, and our home has been occupied by them."

"Then it's useless for you to become a county magistrate! How much military power does he have? Why don't you replace Captain Shi?"

"We can't beat him."

"..."

Okay, I overestimated the snowman's capabilities.

The great thing about these snowmen seems to be that they pretend to be snowmen, and then unexpectedly transform into human forms and stab you in the back. It seems that this is how the little thief who escaped was caught.

With this ability, it's no wonder he gets bullied by other monsters.

"But to be honest, your flaws yesterday were too big, especially that monster. We didn't even see a hair, but you even described the height and chicken feet. Only a fool would believe it?"

"Eh? Didn't Captain Shi believe it?"

"...So he is a fool!"

After continuous exchanges, the snowman finally explained the whole story clearly.

The general meaning is: there are no immortals in the holy mountain at all, because they live on the holy mountain.

But just three months ago, a group of monsters suddenly attacked them and occupied their home, so the snowman went down the mountain to find helpers.

The only way they found was to pretend to be county magistrates, spread rumors about monsters, and ask humans to help eliminate those big white birds.

Ying Huorong touched this man's head and sighed: "You are such a snowhead, you can actually figure out such a complicated problem."

"We are also forced. We can only find helpers by integrating into human life."

"Then why don't you come and talk to us directly?"

"If I say it, will you believe it?"

"will not."

"..."

This situation is very realistic, after all, this is a snowman turned into a monster.

If it beats a drum at the gate of the county government office to express its grievances, and angrily accuses the robbers of taking away its home, it is not a matter of belief or not, but the policemen swarm it and beat it to death with sticks.

It's just because the Tsing Yi Department has set a precedent of accepting tinder, so they are more likely to accept monsters. Of course, Cao An believed in this person because he had not done any evil.

It can be seen that in order not to expose any flaws, the snowmen are working hard to play the role of a good county magistrate, doing everything they can, distributing disaster relief materials extremely carefully, and doing their best to keep the people alive.

But it doesn’t know that the level of this county magistrate has already exceeded 99% of the country!
  I suggest that in the future, all snowmen should be county magistrates. It is much better than those incompetent worms who eat empty wages.

"So, these six-eared monkeys are your enemies?"

"Monkey? I don't know him. He just prevented us from becoming the county magistrate, so we had some conflicts."

"You don't know them? Then what are they doing as county magistrates?"

Six-eared monkeys are even worse than snowmen, because snowmen do not have complete flesh and blood, and they turn into snow when they fall. As long as there is enough snow around them, they can still be resurrected.

But when the six-eared monkey dies, it is really dead. It will even take poison and commit suicide if caught. What is such a big plan?
  "I don't know. I only saw that they sent a batch of ice sculptures to the cave, and you moved the ice sculptures away."

"What! Did the six-eared monkeys make those ice sculptures?" Everyone asked in astonishment.

"Yes, that's just an ordinary cave. I don't know what they want to do."

The clues are in front of you, but where is the answer? There is still no answer to this matter.

Cao An felt that those ice sculptures were awkward before.

Because even if it is extremely fast freezing, at least before death, there should be some stress reactions, such as showing fear, shrinking the body slightly, etc.

But those ice sculptures didn't feel any pain at all, as if they were completely frozen into ice sculptures as if they were possessed by their minds.

If the snowman didn't lie, it means that a group of people are faking the scene, including the scratches of the giant monster, and they are all fake.

What's the purpose? Do you want to induce Daxing to send troops to attack the Holy Mountain?

Then... Shangjiang City's internal defense is empty?

Why did it turn into a rebel uprising again after a long time? Cao An couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy, but it seemed that there were no more clues now.

Forget it, don't think about that, let's find a way to solve the snowstorm problem first.

"Winter came very early this year. Is it related to the group of monsters that invaded you?"

"To be honest, we don't know either."

The snowman lives in the holy mountain and is surrounded by heavy snow every day.

After going down the mountain, it was snowing heavily in the world, and they couldn't feel any difference.

"It seems that we have to go to the Holy Mountain once."

"Ah! Do humans want to go to our home? I refuse to lead the way!" The snowman obviously dislikes humans going up the mountain. This is evident from the avalanche caused yesterday.

"But if you don't let us go up the mountain, we can't destroy those monsters!"

"Those monsters must have come out of the nearby mountains. You can destroy the nests of those monsters, and they will naturally go back to rescue them."

"Yo? You can also use the art of war?"

"Yeah, I've learned a lot lately."

"But I refuse."

"..."

This snowman obviously doesn't know that captives have no human rights. Do I need your permission to go up the mountain?

Just when Cao An was about to be tough and Snowman vowed to defend the Holy Mountain to the death, Ying Huorong said: "Okay, I can't handle such a small matter, so I'll do it."

"You come?"

Cao An was stunned and looked at Ying Huorong, only to find that this person's temperament had changed in an instant, and the Red Fox Queen had appeared.

Just when Cao An thought she would make some shocking remarks, she just showed her demonic aura slightly.

"Ah! You are a monster too!"

"Yes, I am also a monster, and I have no sworn relationship with Emperor Daxing."

"Really? That's great. I'll take you up."

Cao An:......

What's the meaning? Racism within Yokai?

This takes a long time, why not simply show off your demonic aura?
  No, the snowman stopped him from going up, but the six-eared monkey encouraged them to go up, which means...

"On the holy mountain, is there something that the Daxing Dynasty longs for?"

Hearing Cao An's question, Snowman shut up again and did not reply, but looked at Red Fox.

Red Fox patted his chest: "Don't worry, he is mine, you can tell him."

ah? What do you mean I am your person? It’s not certain who belongs to whom. If I have a chance, I’ll show you my real skills and show you what a steel bladder is.

After receiving Red Fox's assurance, Snowman was finally willing to speak.

"The enemy attacked that day, and my mother was not feeling well and could not protect us. But before sending us down the mountain, my mother told us that no one from the Daxing Dynasty should be allowed to go up."

"Mom? Your mother?"

"Of course! We are all born to our mother."

Snowman’s mother? Big snowman? What a race with a very strange physiological structure.

Cao An glanced at the peaceful county government yard.

"It seems that the six-eared monkey will not come again tonight. Tomorrow we will go up the mountain to see what kind of monster is causing evil."
