I rely on my body to push the weird world

Chapter 32: Selection of Constables

Li Ji looked up at the weapon racks, stone locks and wooden stakes placed in the courtyard.

He stepped forward, and with five fingers as fast as lightning, he suddenly grabbed the stone lock.

There was only a muffled thud.

He immediately lifted up the heavy stone lock which was made of solid and heavy rock and was specially used to train the body's qi and blood.

Easy and effortless.

But this is nothing. What is more terrifying is that when Li Jisong opened the stone lock, he could clearly see the marks of five fingers on the stone lock.

"How about this strength?"

Li Ji turned around and asked.

Lu Donglai was completely stunned, looking at the clearly visible fingerprints on the stone lock, with a look of horror on his face.

This is a stone lock weighing nearly three hundred kilograms!

They are usually used for decoration, who the hell would lift them?

However, before he could react, he saw Lu Dingtian next to him quickly step forward, touch the fingerprints on the stone lock, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Fuck! Brother Li, you're... awesome!"

Lu Dingtian was shocked.

"What a natural power!"

Lu Donglai reacted and exclaimed happily: "You are at least a warrior at the Blood Moving Realm. You are definitely more than qualified to join the Demon Suppression Division. It is not impossible for you to even serve as a head constable. Come on, come with me. I will talk to you."

He stepped forward and immediately led Li Ji into the torture room.

"Dad, what about me?"

Lu Dingtian asked.

"You go home and rest first."

Lu Donglai waved his hand nonchalantly.

Lu Dingtian's face turned dark and he could only pout and leave.

The torture chamber was not large. The simple desk was piled with files, papers and pens, and wooden benches were placed randomly on both sides.

Lu Donglai was sitting in the main seat. He immediately motioned Li Ji to sit down and said with a smile.

"To be honest, a captain of the Demon Suppression Division just died. According to the rules, all captains of the Demon Suppression Division are now eligible to recommend talents they value to the higher-ups, and the final decision will be made by the duel. The winner will be the captain of the division!"

"Although I am only a nominal captain of the Demon Suppression Division, I am also qualified to recommend. Since you have such strength, I am going to submit your name as well. What do you think?"

Now you can directly join the Demon Suppression Division as an ordinary constable, or choose to participate in the competition and win to become the head constable of the Demon Suppression Division.

Choose one of the two.

Li Ji's eyes flashed, and he immediately stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Of course I am willing to do so. I'll have to trouble Captain Lu to take care of this matter!"

"You and Xiao Qi are friends for life and death, so why should you be so formal? If you don't mind, you can just call me Uncle Lu."

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!"

Li Ji is quick to follow advice.

"Good, good, good. My nephew is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Donglai's smile grew stronger, and he continued, "But in a duel, swords have no eyes, so my dear nephew, please be careful. If you are not strong enough, don't force yourself."

"I will definitely do my best!"

Li Ji said solemnly.

"Well, that's good! In that case, you can stay in the torture chamber first, and I will write you a letter of recommendation immediately."

Lu Donglai said with a smile.

He hurried to the desk, took out a piece of paper, ground ink, took out a pen, and began to write.

In fact, the so-called Uncle Lu and his nephew were just a show. They were just trying to win over Li Ji when they saw his extraordinary strength.

It was true that he was the chief constable of Wuling County, but he did not want to be the nominal chief constable of the Demon Suppression Division, which was a regulation of the county government. Especially the recommendation, if Li Ji had not happened to appear, he would have had to send his only son to death in tears.

You never know if you will die in the arena one day.

Or die while dealing with those monsters and demons.

If he could recommend Li Ji, regardless of success or failure, he would be able to successfully complete the recommendation. If Li Ji really became the head of the Demon Suppression Division, it would be even better. In the future, he would be able to resign from this daunting position of nominal head of the Demon Suppression Division with a clear conscience, and would not have to worry about it day and night.

In this way, his life became more fulfilling.

Win-win!

Soon, he finished writing a letter of recommendation.

Lu Donglai smiled slightly and said, "My dear nephew, I will ask my colleagues to arrange a room for you, and I will personally deliver the letter to the Demon Suppression Division!"

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!"

Li Ji bowed again.

Lu Donglai immediately called the yamen runners and arranged for Li Ji to go down. Then he took the letter of recommendation, hurried out of the county government, and rushed to the Demon Suppression Division.

Li Ji temporarily stayed in the criminal room of the county government.

The room was not bad, with standard third-shift yamen treatment, and was usually a place for constables to rest when they worked on a case too late or when they were on duty.

It's approaching evening.

Lu Donglai finally returned from outside.

As soon as he came back, he came to see Li Ji and smiled: "My dear nephew, I have sent the letter of recommendation. The competition will be held in three days. I will take you there then."

"Thank you, Uncle Lu!"

Li Ji stood up and thanked him.

Lu Donglai smiled, obviously very satisfied with Li Ji's reaction, and then he spoke.

"By the way, let me tell you about the structure of the Demon Suppression Bureau so you can get familiar with it first."

"Although the Demon Suppression Division was newly established by the imperial court, it has spread throughout the Great Yan Dynasty. From the top down, it is divided into the Division Chief, Deputy Division Chief, Civil and Military Judges, and the Four Famous Constables. The position of Constable that is vacant this time belongs to Constable Qinglong, one of the famous constables."

"Captain Qinglong is in charge of the southwestern part of Wuling County, where most civilians and coolies gather. It is a typical slum and a place where strange things happen frequently."

Li Ji did not interrupt, but just listened silently.

Lu Donglai also paused and continued.

"Now that I have discussed the structure of the Demon Suppression Division, let me talk about the person you are running against."

"There are eight people participating in the competition this time. Two of them have extremely strong martial arts skills. It is said that they have reached the level of refining internal organs. Their strength is unfathomable."

"One is called Hengshan Tyrant Sword Lin Nantong, who is good at using a set of 9981 Hengshan Tyrant Sword moves, which emphasizes overwhelming others with force, and is extremely strong and fierce!"

"A man called Tian Gang God Xiang Sui, who can punch with the Tian Gang Fist. Before the fist arrives, the Qi comes first. He is a rare master in the martial arts world who has cultivated both inner and outer strengths!"

"If you encounter them, don't underestimate them. Be cautious and careful!"

Lu Donglai looked serious.

"I will!"

Li Ji nodded seriously, and then asked, "Uncle Lu, you said earlier that Captain Qinglong had just died. How did he die?"

When this matter was mentioned, Lu Donglai's expression changed, he sighed softly, and there was some fear in his eyes.

"Naturally, he died while dealing with strange things."

"Oh? Is there any explanation for this?"

Li Ji frowned and continued to ask.

Just the position of chief constable after his death could attract two masters of the organ refining realm to compete.

He didn't believe that the original Qinglong Captain's martial arts were not even at the Refining Organs level.

Lu Donglai hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke slowly: "You said before that you encountered something similar in Qinghe County, so you should know that the sayings of demons and monsters in this world are not made up, right? In fact, the Demon Suppression Division still doesn't know what killed Qinglong Captain."
