Two Realms: Don’t call me evil!

Nanyang City.

At sunset, Su Jie and others finally arrived at Nanyang City.

Nanyang City is a big city with a large population and prosperous commerce. According to Dong Hongtian, there must be many strange people and strangers here, who may be able to solve the problem of the massacre of the village.

But when I really walked into Nanyang City, things were a little different from what Dong Hongtian said.

Looking at Nanyang City from the outside, the city walls are six feet high, the walls are towering and solid, and it covers a vast area. It really has the style of a big city.

But the city is not very prosperous. There is only a sparse flow of people on the deserted streets. Occasionally, pedestrians pass by, and they are in a hurry and rarely stop.

Most of the shops along the street are closed, and many restaurants, casinos, brothels, etc. that are usually crowded with people are empty.

"What's going on? It wasn't like this last time I came here!"

Dong Hongtian was so confused that he even wondered if he had gone to the wrong city.

"Is it because there is a plague that prevents everyone from going out on the streets? Did you see that white mourning flags are hung in front of many people's houses, and some passers-by are also wearing plain clothes?"

Gan Huren said, this statement is quite reliable.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Cui Bingyuan and Xiao Chang were a little panicked. The plague doesn't recognize people. It doesn't matter whether you are practicing martial arts or not, you will be infected if you should. Their cultivation level is not high enough to resist the plague.

"Just ask and you'll find out."

Dong Hongtian saw a passerby and ran over to him without waiting for him to leave: "Brother, we are from outside the city and passing through Nanyang City. Why is this city so depressed and yet there is a plague?"

The passerby who was stopped was a scholar. He looked up at Dong Hongtian and said, "How dare you enter the city, here, here. In short, I advise you to leave as soon as possible and don't stay in the city."

The scholar seemed to have something unspeakable. He stopped talking midway through his words and just urged Su Jie and others to leave Nanyang City.

After saying that, as if he was worried about something, the scholar looked around, then hurriedly walked around Dong Hongtian and ran away.

"I hate people who don't mean half of what they say."

Xiao Chang was speechless. Is there anything he couldn't say directly?

"I have a bad feeling."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Gan Huren shrank his neck. It may be that his previous experience as a ghost cast a shadow on this somewhat depressed and quiet city.

"Let's go to the government office and then find an inn to rest."

Dong Hongtian looked at the sky, fearing that he would not be able to make it in time, so he set off quickly.

"Be vigilant."

Su Jie secretly released the reconnaissance dragonfly and warned Chen Yun.

Dozens of reconnaissance dragonflies were buzzing and flying, and they saw the closed doors of every house in the city.

Dragonflies flew through the cracks in the doors and windows. Most of the houses were occupied by people, but there were many houses with funeral sheds set up in their homes. It was obvious that someone in the family had died.

"What's this."

Su Jie also noticed that there was a red stone hanging in every house.

This kind of red stone looks very bright overall. The red color smudges on the surface of the stone and is hung on doorways, rooms and windows.

Without any time to think, Su Jie and others arrived at the Nanyang City Government Office area.

However, what is unexpected is that although the door of the government office is not closed, there is no office scene. Instead, there are a group of officials wearing scarlet robes, worshiping devoutly one by one, and respectfully worshiping a statue of a god.

The statue is like an old man with a kind face and a kind-hearted look.

Next to the statue, several men wearing black religious robes, embroidered with four auspicious animals, and a bit of a magician were sitting cross-legged on the ground, chanting in difficult tones and complicated tones.

"What is this doing?"

Dong Hongtian was stunned for a moment, but thinking of what was going on in the village, he still stepped forward.

"Several officials, my subordinate, Mad Sword Dong Hongtian, has something important to report. We passed by Tianjia Village today and found that more than 300 villagers here died suddenly and mysteriously. All their bodies..."

"This matter is not my responsibility, you can find someone else to do it."

An official interrupted Dong Hongtian's story with an impatient expression.

"May I ask where the local person in charge of the Sky Survey Department is."

Dong Hongtian paused for a moment. The Tianxun Division, different from the police, was an organization set up by the Dali Dynasty specifically to deal with demons, practitioners, and demon cultivators. Because practitioners committed crimes, ordinary police officers would definitely go away and never come back.

For this reason, the Dali Dynasty set up a special patrol department, and all members were practitioners. It dealt specifically with incidents involving demons and demons in the territory, as well as crimes committed by practitioners.

The Tianxun Division had a glorious past. Not only did it catch monsters outside, but also arrested officials inside. It also once broke into the cultivation sect and arrested people on the spot. Its status was equivalent to that of the Imperial Guards in Chinese history.

However, with the decay of the Dali Dynasty, the Xuntian Division has undergone several weakening reforms, and its power has been greatly reduced. A large number of masters have fled, and their combat effectiveness has been severely reduced.

Generally speaking, larger cities will have sky patrol divisions stationed there.

Naturally, there are cities of the size of Nanyang City, so Dong Hongcai asked this question.

"Surveying Division? Old Wu, who knows where he has gone. I can't find him. You can go look for him yourself."

"Can you please..."

"No, you didn't see me worshiping Miaomo. Leave quickly and don't disturb me here."

The official glared at Dong Hongtian, not wanting to see him, blaming him for disturbing him by talking too much.

Dong Hongtian's forehead veins jumped and he choked: "That's hundreds of lives, and you're indifferent?"

"What does it have to do with me? I'm a bunch of poor people. If they die, they will die."

The official raised his head with disdain and sneered, saying: "You knights just like to meddle in other people's business. Our Dali Dynasty has its own laws and national conditions. If you continue to meddle in other people's business, I will arrest you."

Dong Hongtian was a little embarrassed and even more angry. He couldn't help but curse: "You dog official, you are simply presumptuous to be the local parent official. Do you deserve the black gauze hat on your head and the clothes you wear when you say this?"

"Come here, come here! Quickly take down this unruly citizen who dares to insult this official. This official will severely punish him."

The official didn't expect Dong Hongtian to be so fierce that he actually dared to scold him. He was very angry for a while.

"Quickly retreat."

Gan Huren and others turned black and pulled Dong Hongtian away.

This matter of offending officials can be big or small. Most of the wandering knights who have no fixed place to live are not too afraid, but they still have to behave themselves in the city.

The group of officials were still kneeling on the ground praying, including the official who was cursing. They didn't insist on sending people to chase him. They turned around and worshipped the statue again, as if Dong Hongtian was not worth his energy.

Su Jie looked back and saw that among the men sitting next to the statue, wearing ancestral hall robes, one of them was following the others, as if observing something.

Then the man turned his head and looked vaguely in the direction of the dragonfly detection, which made Su Jie's heart tremble.
