Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 58: A Visitor from the Five Thunder Palace

Yang Qian specially changed into a set of robes today which had just been delivered from the government warehouse yesterday, and also put on a hat which he rarely wore.

It is always inconvenient for constables who often need to draw their swords and kill to wear a hat. After all, this thing is not a helmet. It is fixed on the head by two ropes. If you move a lot, it will become crooked and very uncomfortable.

Therefore, hats are usually worn on special occasions and are ceremonial in nature.

After leaving the house, Yang Qian did not go to the police station as usual, but went directly to the government office. Not only him, but all the police chiefs in the police station and the chief police chief Wang Hai would gather at the government office today, and then join the officials and lawyers of the government office, and go out of the city ten miles under the leadership of the head of the government office Cui Mingsheng.

Also traveling with them were the garrison's main officers, led by Song Qixun.

What?
Go ten miles out of the city to welcome the distinguished guest, or in other words, to welcome the immortal master.

As soon as the sun came out in the morning, Yang Qian followed the long team out of the city and waited at the Welcoming Pavilion ten miles away. It was past noon when he waited.

During the period, the two groups were clearly separated. Song Qixun and Cui Mingsheng did not even say a word to each other, but just looked at each other.

There is nothing to say at this point. If there is anything to say, we have to wait until the winner is decided.

It was a long wait but everyone was patient, especially Cui Mingsheng and other officials, who seemed quite excited and nervous.

"coming!"

Then they saw a rider coming from afar, waving a red flag. This was the spy who had been scouting for ten miles, and had come back early to let the people waiting in the welcoming pavilion prepare in advance.

Yang Qian, who had never seen anyone from the Immortal Sect, stood up along with everyone else in the reception pavilion. Each of them straightened his robe and appearance, then stood in lines according to his official rank, even adjusting the expressions on his faces, and stood properly facing the official road.

Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?
Yang Qian also disagreed in his heart. It was not that he did not know the importance of immortal gates in this world, but for immortal gates, the stable rule of the secular world could also bring them convenient resources and a steady stream of cultivation seedlings.

It is a complementary relationship.

Even if there is a superiority or inferiority, it is not necessary to be so servile as to lower oneself to such a level, right? This is probably more grand than welcoming the people from the state government.

However, when Yang Qian saw several huge figures appearing in the distance, he was a little stunned for a moment: What are those?
When he got closer, Yang Qian finally reacted. The name in his mind matched what he saw before him: Thousand-mile Beast.

It has horse hooves, a body like a tiger, a tail like an ox, long hair all over its body, and a ferocious head. It can travel a thousand miles in a day and climb mountains and cross rivers as if walking on flat ground. It is a beast controlled by immortals and is called the Thousand-mile Beast.

This was the first time Yang Qian had seen this kind of beast that only existed in books. It was estimated that this creature was two times bigger than an average tall horse, and it had a more ferocious aura than a lion or a tiger, which rushed towards him as he approached.

Yang Qian even had a feeling that with his current martial arts strength, he might not be able to get any good results standing in front of this strange beast, and he might even be torn to pieces.

"The head of the Sandao City government office, Cui Mingsheng, leads all government offices to welcome the Five Thunder Palace!"

"Song Qixun, the garrison commander of the Three Dao City, leads his officers to welcome the immortal masters of the Five Thunder Palace!"

Song Qixun and Cui Mingsheng almost raised their voices to salute at the same time, but Cui Mingsheng's voice was obviously not as loud as Song Qixun's, who practiced martial arts, and was easily suppressed, and only a few words could be heard. Cui Mingsheng was so angry that he clenched his teeth.

A total of four huge thousand-mile beasts stopped three feet in front of everyone, and they could still feel the pressure coming towards them. You could even feel that it was not the opponent's deliberate momentum, but the suppression of the power in their bodies. Ordinary people were still okay, but warriors like Wang Hai and Yang Qian who had made certain achievements in true qi were even more sensitive to this kind of pressure.

Yang Qian followed the others in bowing and salutation while secretly looking at the four Five Thunder Palace disciples who came down from the Thousand Mile Beast. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Is this the difference between the methods of the immortal sect and the methods of ordinary martial arts? Or is this the power brought by the so-called method of immortality?
The four immortal masters of the Five Thunder Palace were all wearing white robes with dark gold stripes. Some of them looked like scholar robes, but they also had some details of warrior robes. They looked both elegant and capable.

The first man looked to be about thirty or fifty, his age was hard to tell. His robe had more golden patterns than the other three, so he should be the steward of the Five Thunders Palace. The remaining three looked very young, at most about twenty-one or twenty-two years old.

These four people all had a natural sense of pride. Even though the Three Cities had given them a grand welcome, they did not show any surprise or joy, as if they had already become accustomed to it and took it for granted.

There wasn't even any greetings. An accompanying provincial advisor introduced the four Five Thunder Palace disciples to the leaders of Sandao City. After they got to know each other, they immediately turned back to Sandao City.

After entering the city, the people of the Five Thunder Palace rejected Song Qixun's invitation and went straight to the government office, unable to wait to see the evil magic weapon reported by the government office. It can be seen that the Five Thunder Palace seems to be extremely sensitive to matters related to evil ways.

Yang Qian, as the specific person in charge, was also called over.

The five funeral beast sculptures were taken out from the basement of the government office and handed over to the people of the Five Thunder Palace. After just a few glances and a careful examination, the Five Thunder Palace Outer Gate Steward named Yu was certain that these beast sculptures were indeed from evil ways and were undoubtedly evil magic weapons.

"Who got it?"

Everyone looked at Yang Qian.

Yang Qian was not afraid of the stage. He walked up to the Five Thunder Palace steward named Yu and briefly explained the process of obtaining the set of five funeral beast sculptures. It was mainly due to the tomb robbers Wu Qing and Yao Fang, and the last mage Xunyi.

However, it was obvious that this outer sect steward of the Five Thunder Palace did not care about the whole context of the matter.

"From a tomb robber? That's reasonable."

With just these words, he took away the set of Five Funeral Beast Sculptures, saying that these things needed to be taken back to the Five Thunder Palace to determine their origin before being destroyed.

Then Yang Qian took his leave and left.

I thought the matter was over, but Yang Qian didn't expect that he was kept back. After waiting in the side hall for an hour, he was called in again. There were only him and four people from the Five Thunder Palace there, and the rest had all avoided him.

Yang Qian, who was confused, quickly understood why these people from the Five Thunder Palace called him in again.

"The Immortal Alliance has issued an order that rewards can be given to those who capture or kill evil cultivators in the secular world. This set of five funeral beast sculptures was obtained by your leader, so you can claim the reward."

The outer gate steward of the Five Thunder Palace, whose surname was Yu, waved his hand, and a Five Thunder Palace disciple behind him placed a small jade bottle as thick as a thumb in front of Yang Qian, motioning him to take it.

"This is the 'Blood Strengthening Pill', which can strengthen the blood, tendons and bones, and can also increase the true qi of a warrior, which can save you ten years of hard work. Take it now, and if you feel any discomfort, I can help you."

Yang Qian was still in a daze of surprise, but he came to his senses immediately after hearing the last sentence. He realized that the Five Thunder Palace had to watch him eat this thing and he couldn't take it away.
