Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 266: Evil Canon
Yang Qian also went to Broken Mirror Lake, which was dozens of miles away. It used to be the manor of King Yue, but now it is deserted, leaving only dried corpses and burnt ruins.

The altar standing in the middle of the lake seemed to be mocking something, which made Yang Qian's temples throbbing. Finally, he climbed up the altar and destroyed it with a few cuts.

Even if Yang Qian had the intention, facing the manor that had been burned to ashes, there was no clue for him to trace. It was even impossible to confirm whether Prince Yue had really escaped from Jizhou Prefecture.

However, the arrest warrant and treason notice have been issued.

That’s right, it was issued, not sent out. Because these two documents were issued from the imperial city of the Hongwu Dynasty, with the seals of the state and the Ministry of Justice, as well as the clan seals of the royal family. This means that Zhou Zhong has been stripped of his royal status and is now being pursued for a separate crime of treason.

These two documents were not only found in various places in Jizhou Prefecture, but also throughout the Hongwu Dynasty.

The Immortal Alliance doesn’t care about Zhou Zhong, but the Hongwu Dynasty cares a lot about him.

At least Yang Qian felt so angry when he thought of this man. He killed so many people in one breath, so it would be a relief for him even if he was skinned alive.

The relief from the imperial court has not arrived yet. It is being allocated from surrounding prefectures, but it takes time on the road, so it will take several days for it to arrive at the earliest.

It was fine in the city, there was no fire in the city, and the granaries were not affected. They have already opened the granaries to provide relief according to the situation. Most of the relief was given to the city residents, while the villages and towns outside the city did not need it. After all, the worst hit people this time were in the city, not outside the city.

There was even news that a large number of refugees were pouring into the city.

Who said the situation in the city was the best? There was food and a full three guards' worth of soldiers, enough to ensure safety.

Other cities were in trouble. Not only did they suffer horrific deaths in the disaster, but they were also attacked and looted by the rebels who roamed out.

Where did the rebels come from?

Of course, they were the troops that Zhou Zhong had deployed before as a pretense of rebellion. Three of them were in the open, and the remaining five were private.

Zhou Zhong was now missing, and these people froze. The three guards in the open immediately mutinied, and nearly half of them ran away. The soldiers who were unaware of the situation would not be convicted of treason, as this was a well-known military law in the Hongwu Dynasty. But the rest of the people could not run away, as they were privately hired or die-hards, and they could only go down this path.

So, taking advantage of the chaos in Jizhou Prefecture, when the group was leaderless and unable to take care of themselves, these rebels naturally began to think of attacking cities and seizing territories.

Robbing people, robbing food, and robbing territory. These three things are almost easy for the rebels with a few guards in Jizhou Prefecture. In just a few days, three cities were lost one after another. It can even be said that these cities were taken before they could react.

Then he recruited the surrounding bandits.

Demon? Demons and evil spirits still don't dare to take it, at least not openly. This thing will attract the gaze of the immortals, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Originally, Yang Qian wanted to bring his mother and brother to Jizhou Prefecture, but a message from Xu Xiushan made Yang Qian give up the idea. Xu Xiushan had already sent someone to take Yang Qian's mother and brother to the town at the foot of Leiming Mountain, where they were much safer than the prefectural city.

Yang Qian could only remember this friendship again.

As for the rebels, Yang Qian could sum it up with a sentence he heard from Ge Shuni: A grasshopper in autumn can only jump for a few days.

If you want to rebel, the most important thing is the situation in the world, that is, the right time.

Then there is the place where the uprising starts. There must be space for long-term confrontation with the Hongwu Dynasty, such as natural barriers or geographical barriers.

Finally, there must be human resources to support the rebellion.

This is what is meant by the right time, the right place, and the right people.

These rebels only had a little bit of geographical advantage, how could they continue to cause trouble? When the Hongwu Dynasty came with its army, how long could these few guards hold out? The combat power of an army has always been not just about the number of soldiers and generals, but also about the number of young immortal masters or even real immortal masters in the army.

The reason why Liu Chuan and others were so nervous about Zhou Zhong before was that Zhou Zhong had a large number of evil monks to support the high-level combat power. But now, do the rebels have the combat power to support them? Of course not.

This is a slap in the face.

Ge Shuni estimated that the catastrophe in Jizhou Prefecture would be completely quelled within two months at most.

"Sir, we have sent water ghosts to search the lake. There are some stone pillars at the bottom of the lake. They should be integrated with the stone platform we found before."

Zhao Chen and Yang Qian made this trip. Their feet were wet, probably because they had just come from the lake.

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of broken stone with strange patterns engraved on it and handed it to Yang Qian.

Yang Qian nodded and took the stone. Then he waved his hand and asked Zhao Chen to continue looking for any clues.

After Zhao Chen left, Yang Qian took out a thick book made of gold from his storage bag. Just based on the weight, Yang Qian felt that it could be worth one or two hundred gold pieces. That was why he kept this thing.

Cult

This is what Yang Qian took out from the storage bag of the evil cultivator in the Out-of-Body Realm. It is not a magic weapon, nor a jade disc, and there is no fluctuation of magic power at all. It is just a "book" used to carry text. Yang Qian's subconscious obsession with gold made him keep this thing at the first time.

After flipping through a few pages, Yang Qian discovered that the experience panel didn't seem to accept this thing, even though it was made of gold. Instead, the text on it aroused Yang Qian's great interest.

I still remember that when I first came across "Ten Yuan Strange Tales" because of a case, Yang Qian thought it was a very outrageous mythological novel. Later, it was proved that the story was not about the novel, but about the world.

From then on, Yang Qian no longer made preconceived judgments about things in this world that he did not understand.

"Cult" made Yang Qian recall some of the feelings he had when he first watched "Ten Yuan Strange Stories".

However, unlike "Ten Yuan Strange Stories", which relies on the legendary Ten Yuan Mountain and the current Ten Yuan Sea as anchor points to tell stories about immortals, demons, and humans, "Cult" tells you at the beginning that this is a biography.

What kind of person could have a golden book as his biography, and not even a monk who has reached the out-of-body state collected it?
Evil God, Jiang Yuhe.

It is said that Jiang Yuhe was born in a scholarly family and was extremely smart and strategic since childhood. However, he was not good at martial arts or magic.

Later, his family suffered a disaster, and Jiang Yuhe was determined to take revenge as the only survivor. So Jiang Yuhe, who was not even twenty years old, joined the outlaws and became an accountant in a mountain stronghold, and then became a military advisor.

It was also during the process of serving as the military advisor to the bandit stronghold that Jiang Yuhe came into contact with evil ways, and he could no longer stop himself.

In order to seek revenge, Jiang Yuhe, a bandit by nature, began to hunt for blood and food everywhere. When the government soldiers were finally attracted to encircle and suppress him, he drugged all the bandits in the village and killed them all at once, swallowing them into his body.

At this point, Jiang Yuhe's evil path was finally on the right track. He rushed to the Jindan realm in one breath.

But the most troublesome thing for evil cultivators is the blood calamity, which is a life-and-death situation.

In order to avoid the blood calamity and continuously increase his strength, Jiang Yuhe came up with a method that was different from the ordinary evil methods.

Abandoning the blood disaster brought about by directly devouring the soul and blood, an additional process was added to extract another kind of power that should not exist in the world from the soul and blood. Jiang Yuhe called it: evil thoughts.

It was because of his evil thoughts that Jiang Yuhe became a monster who did not need to worry about the blood disaster and could kill crazily.
