Chapter 3
It was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the 768th year of the imperial calendar. Although the sun was shining, the wind was still cold.
Early in the morning, Lu Ming put on a black brocade suit and went out with a long knife on his waist.This brocade robe is the special costume for the demon suppressor, but it is not qualified to be tattooed on the chest of the clothes prepared for the demon suppressor.
As for Lu Ming's two lancets, one light and one dark, they were made by that blacksmith in Si Ya, Old Hei.Old Hei was the first person Lu Ming met after he came to this world.To be precise, it was Lao Hei who picked him up.
It was also through Lao Hei's recommendation and guarantee that Lu Ming could successfully enter the Demon Town Division. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain his background clearly.
Thinking of Lao Hei, Lu Ming bought two cages of meat buns at the steamed bun shop on the corner of Nanfeng Street. These were Lao Hei's favorite.
The Qinglan town demon office is not near the county office in the center of the city, but is located next to the south gate. It is said that it is to deter the wilderness outside the south city.
Lu Ming soon came to Zhenyao Siya, entered through the side door, did not go to the main hall, but went straight to the Qi hall in the west courtyard.
The sound of clanging can be heard far away.
Lu Ming looked enviously at the brawny man in the yard who was naked from the waist up and covered in twisted muscles.
Under the sun, the burly man's bronze skin, which was like cast iron, glowed with oil. He swung the giant hammer again and again, and the sweat from the swaying steamed into mist over the fire, adding a bit of immortality.
Lao Hei has a dark complexion, but he is not old, but looks middle-aged. It is said that he was once an eighth-rank demon general in the demon town.It's just that, because of the hard-to-heal injuries in the early years, the root cause of the disease fell, and the blood continued to decline, so he retired to Qitang and became the master of the bare hall.
Even so, Lu Ming felt that this old black was not simple, and at least he still had the strength of a ninth-rank true warrior.Looking at that strong body, it doesn't look like it has lost too much energy and blood.
Lu Ming tried to test Li Heishan many times, trying to figure out the other party's skills, but unfortunately, in his eyes, the "big fool" would not eat soft and hard, and would not eat oil and salt, which made Lu Ming suspect that he was the fool several times.
"Old Hei, your steamed stuffed bun." Lu Ming didn't approach, but put the steamed stuffed bun on the stone table in the corner from a distance. He knew that Old Hei was most annoyed by others disturbing his great weapon refining business.
When he turned to leave, Old Hei's rough voice came from behind: "Is it a product? Don't die too fast."
Lu Ming almost staggered, turned his back and gave a thumbs up, and left in a hurry.
"This old black, his eyesight is really poisonous, um... his mouth is even more poisonous."
Arriving outside the main hall of the Zhenyao Division, Lu Ming unexpectedly heard the roar of the Zhenyao General.
The town demon general of Qinglan Town Demon Division is a woman over forty years old, nicknamed Iron Girl.
Iron Girl does not look old, but is beautiful and charming. Except for her slightly short stature, there are almost no flaws in her appearance.
But it is such a beautiful girl who is well-known throughout Qinglan City and even within a radius of five hundred miles.With her iron-blooded wrist and excellent ability, not only can she suppress the evil spirits, but even the eighteen demon envoys under her command respect her like a god.
The title of "Iron Girl" is also derived from her surname and "Iron Heart Ruthless". It seems that no man can pry open her heart. Therefore, she is really a girl who has never been married.
Hearing his voice, Lu Ming didn't dare to get close, and hurriedly hid in a corner, wanting to wait for the discussion over there before going to his master Zhao Qingyun.
"Damn it, check it out for my old lady. All the demon emissaries who stayed in the city were thrown out. Also, the old quail who passed on Wude sent criminal arresters to cooperate with us."
"There are evildoers who dare to commit crimes under my mother's nose, don't let any of them go."
"Yes, yes, the commander calms down, and the subordinates will do it now." Zhao Qingyun timidly responded, which was very different from last night's calm and leisurely attitude.
……
Iron Girl's roar was still there, and it reached Lu Ming's ears far away, making him shiver uncontrollably.
Lu Ming secretly mourned for his master for 3 minutes, and at the same time felt a little sympathetic to the county magistrate who was an official in the same city as Iron Girl.
He is obviously an upright and upright Master Wude, but he was called "no virtue" by the iron girl, so who can ask for reason.
Iron Girl's roar echoed Zhao Qingyun's soft voice, and it took half an hour on and off before Lu Ming saw the master walking out of the main hall with sweat profusely, his short and fat body almost shrunk into a ball.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Lu Ming did not rush forward, but followed Zhao Qingyun from a distance to the outside of the dark language hall in the east courtyard, and then appeared to stop the master.
"You're not at home recuperating, what are you doing here?" Seeing Lu Ming, Zhao Qingyun instantly regained his serious expression and scolded him softly.
"My lord, my subordinates are fine. I was lucky enough to break through in the battle last night and finally entered the ninth rank." Lu Ming had already thought of an excuse. After all, he had lived in seclusion before, and even Zhao Qingyun didn't know his specific cultivation level.
"Oh?" Zhao Qingyun glanced at Lu Ming in surprise, the wrinkles on his face softened a bit.
"Show me." Zhao Qingyun took two steps back and motioned for Lu Ming to show it.
From this point of view, Zhao Qingyun's eyesight is not as good as that of Old Hei.In Lao Hei's place, Lu Ming never did anything, and was seen through by the other party.
Lu Ming responded, and stretched his hands forward. As the blood in his body surged, he suddenly saw a layer of faint golden light appearing on his palms.
Zhao Qingyun's eyes flashed, and without saying a word, he suddenly punched close to him, and with the sound of wind, the iron fist went straight to Lu Ming's chest.
How could Lu Ming dare to be negligent, his palms overlapped in an instant, and he stood in front of the not-so-fast iron fist impartially.
boom!
Like the sound of a drum, Lu Ming felt tightness in his chest and numbness in his arms, but his feet seemed to take root, and he did not retreat half a step.Of course he knew that Zhao Qingyun's punch was only for probing and had no killing intent.
At this time, Zhao Qingyun had returned to the original place again, stood with his hands behind his back, nodded lightly and said, "Yes, it's genuine. You come with me, and we will investigate the case together. Maybe you have a chance to prove your own strength."
Lu Ming's heart moved, and he hurriedly followed, entering the dark language hall with Zhao Qingyun.
"I'm afraid it's the case that Iron Girl mentioned." Lu Ming thought to himself.
Inside the Dark Words Hall, there are many organs. This is the most confidential place of the Demon Suppression Division. It can be said to be the core intelligence department of the department. Cases of all sizes will be classified here and then passed on.
Zhao Qingyun, as the strongest demon-suppressing envoy of the late ninth rank under the command of Iron Girl, is the hall master of the Dark Words Hall.
Following in Zhao Qingyun's footsteps, Lu Ming came to a hidden room underground, after going through a series of traps, either overt or hidden.
Surprisingly, there was another person in the secret room, and it was Sun Ze who was sitting cross-legged and practicing.
"master!"
"Brother Lu."
When Sun Ze saw the two of them, he hurriedly got up and saluted and greeted them. His demeanor was so thoughtful that he couldn't fault it in the slightest.
"Sun Ze has entered the ninth rank half a decade ago. He has practiced martial arts here these days, and now he has achieved great success. He is ready to try to accept the case alone." After Zhao Qingyun nodded, he glanced at Lu Ming. Hit Lu Ming, who has just entered the product, so that he will not be complacent.
In the eyes of this demon envoy, Lu Ming was never as good as Sun Ze, even if he entered the ninth rank now, he was still the same.What's more, Lu Ming is also two years older than Sun Ze.
They are both rank nine, but their strengths are still vastly different.A ninth rank like Zhao Qingyun is enough to win against ten early ninth ranks.
Of course Lu Ming knew Zhao Qingyun's deep meaning, but he didn't say much. He would not expose his perfect Nine Shadows Saber Technique in front of Sun Ze.
"Congratulations to brother Lu, it's great, we brothers can fight side by side again in the future." Lu Ming didn't speak, but Sun Ze took the initiative to congratulate.
This person's reaction is so fast that he can judge the situation with just a few words, and he can also make a comprehensive response according to the situation.
While secretly weighing the pros and cons, Lu Ming clasped his fists in time to return the salute, "Same congratulations, same congratulations, with my junior brother taking care of me, I can have some confidence."
"Okay, now is the time to employ people, and there is no longer any time left for you to cultivate." Zhao Qingyun interrupted the hypocrisy between the two, and said solemnly.
"The black ant demon that Lu Ming encountered last night was not accidental. At the same time, half of the medicine shops in the city were ransacked by the ant demon and suffered heavy losses." Zhao Qingyun continued.
Lu Ming was greatly disturbed when he heard the words. Many pharmacies were attacked by ant monsters. This is no small matter.
In this world, medicinal materials are an important industry that is protected or even semi-monopolized by the government, because it is the most important resource for true warriors to practice.
Once a pharmacy is severely damaged, it is no less serious than a serious case of human life. No wonder Iron Girl is furious.
And what made Lu Ming suspicious the most was the ant monster he encountered. Could it be just a coincidence?Did I misunderstand Sun Ze?
But even though Lu Ming had some medicinal herbs that nourished his qi and blood, it wouldn't cause a fatal disaster. That black ant didn't touch its own medicinal herbs.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming still felt that Sun Ze was the most suspect. Anyway, he still didn't trust this insidious guy, so he had to be defensive.
"Therefore, the commander has ordered that this matter must be thoroughly investigated without any mistakes or omissions." Zhao Qingyun said firmly.
"However, black ants are good at burrowing into the ground to hide. If they can't hide and show their demonic aura, there's no good way for us to suppress demons, right?" Sun Ze asked suspiciously at the right time.
This is exactly what Lu Ming asked. If they weren't good at hiding, these monsters would definitely not be able to stir up trouble in the city, and they would have been wiped out by Iron Girl long ago.There is no sand in that person's eyes.
"So, the commander is going to open the Si Ya Medicine Hall and lead the snakes out of the cave." Zhao Qingyun said sharply with a cold gleam in his eyes.
