Chapter 336 It's Him!
Chapter 336 It's Him! (Monthly Tickets for Extra Updates)
Impure heart...
Pei Jiu's heart was slightly moved, but Chu Tianzhu, who was being scolded, just lowered his head slightly, without explaining or refutation.
Zhongli Luan opened the window and overlooked the ancient city.
Hengshan City is very old. After several expansions, it now has tens of millions of households. It is a rare majestic city in the world. This urban area alone is no less than a large prefectural capital.
"Uncle Master, catching thieves is the duty of the Dao Yamen. If we are sure that the thief is a gangster, we will hand him over to the Dragon and Tiger Temple. We are new here..."
Chu Tianzhu felt helpless.
In a city with a population of millions, even the provincial government would find it difficult to catch a thief who was hiding deliberately, let alone outsiders like them. Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
"Go to Longyin Hall."
Zhongli Luan ignored him, just patted Liu San on the shoulder, then turned and walked out.
Chu Tianzhu felt helpless and looked at Pei Jiu, who didn't dare to say a word the whole time. He could only do nothing and watch them leave.
"Is your heart impure?"
Pei Jiu stopped for a moment, put down the silver and left.
……
Longhu Mountain faces north and south, and the Taoist temple is in the east.
The huge Hengshan City, with these two places as its eastern and northern ends, expanded to the west and south, forming a number of urban areas of varying sizes.
In terms of duties, the Dao Ya is responsible for people's livelihood, taxation, and arresting bandits, while the Longhu Temple is responsible for suppressing sects within the territory, and eliminating mountain bandits, horse thieves, river robbers, and all kinds of illegal people in the martial arts world outside the city.
The two have their own functions, but also overlap.
As the sky gradually darkened, Zhongli Luan arrived at the 'Xingcheng District', a branch of the Dragon and Tiger. This hall belonged to the Longyin Hall and covered a large area, with a square in front of the house.
The summer breeze blew gently, shaking the flagpoles in the square. Strings of heads swayed like wind chimes, occasionally making a "clicking" sound.
When they arrived, several Dragon and Tiger disciples were posting notices in front of the square and hanging several freshly severed heads there.
"There seem to be a few familiar faces?"
Chu Tianzhu took a look, but couldn't see it clearly.
“Cruel, but effective.”
Zhongli Luan nodded. Several major Taoist sects and even the imperial court would have similar methods to intimidate people in the martial arts world.
Yanshan Dao also had it. He had done something similar in the past. During the last martial arts competition, Samadhi Cave killed thousands of illegal gangsters.
When he arrived here, Zhongli Luan walked straight towards the hall without reporting anything. Several soldiers outside the door were about to stop him but were stopped by shouting.
Lin Jia, dressed in black armor, walked out quickly and bowed, saying:
"Brother Zhongli, you have come from afar, why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could host a banquet to welcome you? But now there is nothing prepared..."
"Don't worry, Brother Lin."
Zhongli Luan raised his hand to interrupt:
"I came here to borrow some information and to ask Brother Lin some questions."
Longyin Hall is one of the two major mouthpieces of Longhu Temple, in charge of intelligence gathering. Not to mention when I came, I'm afraid they already know my purpose.
"No problem."
Lin Jia invited enthusiastically: "I have asked someone to prepare wine and food, why don't you go in and talk? It will take time to retrieve the intelligence."
"Alright."
Zhongli Luan did not refuse and walked into the hall.
It was already dark, and the hall was brightly lit. Many Longyin Hall disciples were coming and going in a hurry. There were also people busy in each room, either flipping through files or interrogating people, and so on.
"It's not a good thing for all the Taoists to perform martial arts in my Longyin Hall. I have been very busy these days."
Lin Jia led the way and invited Zhongli Luan to sit in the hall. He ordered his attendants to retrieve information, while he went into the inner room to get out the best spiritual tea to entertain him.
Zhongli Luan frowned slightly:
"Brother Lin, you should know why Zhong came here, right?"
"To be honest, there is indeed a rapist in the east of the city. He not only raped people's wives and daughters, but also raped and killed them!"
"Ah, sister!"
Before Lin Jia finished speaking, Liu San, who had been following Zhongli Luan silently, screamed and was knocked unconscious by a finger from Chu Tianzhu.
"East of the city?"
Zhongli Luan narrowed his eyes slightly. The east of the city was where the Dao Yamen was located. He had just returned from there, and the place over there was called the north of the city.
Who is lying?
"Yes, Chengdong."
Lin Jia nodded: "According to the rules, arresting thieves in the city is the responsibility of the Dao Yamen, but there have been too many people from the underworld coming and going to Hengshan in the past year, so the rules are naturally ignored by default."
"As it should be."
Zhongli Luan couldn't find any fault with it.
There was no shortage of friction between the imperial court and Dao Zong, but neither side would take the initiative to break some of the overt rules. For example, the imperial court never sent a master to sit in the Dao Yamen.
But in extraordinary times, the rules can be changed.
"I have been there twice in the past few days and sent dozens of people to search. We did catch a few flower-stealing thieves, but they were not the rapist who raped and killed."
While Lin Jia was speaking, a disciple had already delivered the information, which he handed to Zhong Li Luan:
"A few days ago, I went to see Ouyang Zhenfu. According to him, the rapist was so bold that he not only raped and killed women, but also stole the incense from the Dao Yamen.
Soon, the experts from the Jingping Division will come to capture and kill this thief!"
"So bold?"
Zhongli Luan was a little surprised. Everyone knew that the court attached great importance to incense. This was a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the clan.
"Do you know who that rapist is?"
"Ouyang Zhenfu said that this person is quite famous in the martial arts world, and his name is Sikong Xing!"
"The Sikong Xing on the list of thieves?"
"That's him."
……
"puff!"
Hanging upside down on the mountain, the true energy exploded like fireworks.
Looking at the falling and exploding true qi, Li Yuan frowned slightly. This was his twenty-third failure in three days.
"There is nothing wrong with my thinking..."
Li Yuan leaned against the stone tablet, still confident that there was nothing wrong with his thinking. He recalled the differences and similarities among his many failures, and gradually sorted out the problem.
It's not that Long Zen Vajra doesn't have the Great Perfection, but...
"Brontosaurus!"
Li Yuan's thinking is divergent.
The first ten or so failures were due to his random attempts at combinations, but the next ten failures were due to him troubleshooting the problems.
Now he was almost certain what the problem was.
The Thunder Dragon is a combination of all beasts and thunder. Although it is very powerful, it is not suitable to be the backbone of the Black Whale.
"The Thunder Dragon is the spine, which will naturally affect the various shapes filled in and destroy the balance of the Black Whale combination, so..."
After pondering for a while, Li Yuan already had some idea in his mind:
"If we don't need the Thunder Dragon as the spine, then maybe we can use it as the skin? Is it feasible to use the Thunder Dragon as the skin to bind and fill the various shapes?"
Talking to himself, Li Yuan stood up and paced back and forth, thinking that it might be feasible.
"However, another form is needed to balance the Thunder Dragon. Otherwise, if the Thunder Dragon is used as a skin to accommodate all forms, it may still be a Thunder Dragon..."
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan felt relieved and realized the problem. He suddenly felt his thoughts became clearer. He then tried step by step and added new forms.
As for the new form...
"Longchan Vajra should be able to do it. If not, Yunlong will definitely be able to do it."
With a plan in mind, Li Yuan left the Black Whale Secret Realm. Having not slept much for three days, he was extremely sleepy. He fell asleep without even noticing whether it was dark or not.
Woohoo~
A breeze blew into the room, and the little tiger was pacing inside. She had not gone out much in the past few days, but was observing Li Yuan secretly.
During these three days, Li Yuan rushed back and forth between his residence and the library. Apart from practicing martial arts, he also meditated and visualized. In these three days, he slept for less than three hours.
"Is this kid trying to create merit?"
A trace of doubt flashed through the little tiger's mind.
She was naturally confident in her own vision, but the problem was, as a disciple of a Taoist master with a quasi-true disciple, she had many unique skills to learn, so where did she get the motivation to create her own martial arts?
Can he be sure that he can create a martial art?
So what if you can?
Even if he has a talent of the millennium level, with this amount of accumulation, can he still create a unique skill?
"Could he really be the master of the Sea-Splitting Mysterious Whale Hammer?"
This thought flashed through the little tiger's mind. She had not cut herself off from the outside world and was well aware of the rumors that had spread over the past six months.
Only the master of the mysterious weapons can achieve great success before reaching the Grandmaster level, and she was the same in the past.
But she quickly dismissed the idea. Even if she was seriously injured and dying, and her divine realm was broken, she would not be unable to detect the aura of Tianyun Xuanbing.
"He is not."
The little tiger was very sure and became more and more curious.
When Li Yuan started snoring, she jumped onto the bed, glanced at the fat vole in the corner, but didn't rush to take action.
Instead, he waited until Li Yuan had slept for about an hour, and estimated that his spirit should have almost recovered, then he blew out wisps of purple mist to wrap him up.
But what surprised her was that although the mist penetrated into her body, there was no response.
'? '
The little tiger grabbed the back of Li Yuan's hand with one claw, and there was a buzzing sound, and lightning flashed in the house.
"The Qi spontaneously protects the body?"
The little tiger retracted his claws instantly, feeling quite surprised.
True Qi is limited. Unless one is a martial artist who has been refining his internal organs and marrow for many years, the true Qi cannot surround the body day and night. In order for the true Qi to spontaneously protect the body, it must be deep enough and have enough Qi channels.
It also requires one to reach a very high level of control over one's own true qi.
"This kid is improving so fast..."
The little tiger cub muttered, stretched out his claws, and gently poked through Li Yuan's spontaneous protective Qi. Wisps of mist followed and entered his mouth and nose:
"Unfortunately, compared to this host, you are still too immature."
……
"The business of Daoye is too busy."
This was the thought that arose in Li Yuan's mind in a trance after he felt the fluctuations in the divine realm.
He was too sleepy to pay any attention, but he couldn't resist the call again and again.
I had no choice but to force my eyes open. After all, I had just received someone else's 'Tian Yi Jiu Lian'.
In front of him was the familiar bronze tower. On the stone tablet in front of him was the same old rule: one sword for each problem, ten swords for each elixir, a very fair exchange.
"Who could this bronze tower master be?"
Looking at the bronze tower pierced by the giant knife, Li Yuan began to think.
There are quite a few people who have been injured by Wan Zhuliu, and all of them are great masters. From far away, there are Taoist Tiancan and the bald monk, to the recent one is the owner of Zhaixing Tower.
"Maybe it's the owner of Zhaixing Tower? Rumor has it that she is still in Hengshan Road, so Longhu Temple is naturally the safest place."
Li Yuan was muttering to himself, but in fact he was waiting for his spirit to recover.
After a moment, without waiting for the bronze tower owner to urge him, he reached out and grabbed a heavy hammer and walked towards the bronze tower.
