Chapter 361 Zhou Cheng's treasure hunt(1/2)

Chapter 361 Zhou Cheng’s treasure exploration

Zhou Cheng stood in the corner of the yamen, but watched the yamen runners work for a long time and finally brought the prisoner up. The city guard gave the order and asked the plaintiff and the prisoner to kneel down.

"Master of the City Guard, the common people are wronged!" An honest old farmer, dressed in rags, looked unkempt, and was kneeling down and shouting for injustice. However, the other young man was thin and tender, which made people feel very unreal when they saw it, as if he was a man.

However, there was a middle-aged official sitting in the yamen. It should be the guardian of Jingxiguan here. Zhou Cheng knew at a glance that this person had the strength of the mysterious demon, which was equivalent to the Xuanxian realm, and was lower than the demon general!

Another young man seemed unwilling to do so, and hesitated for a while before he had to kneel down, but he was unwilling to kowtow to see the official, and he did not speak.

"Bold, you are waiting for one person to cry, and the other person will not respect the officials. What is the rule?" Cheng Shou slapped the agglomeration and scolded!

"Master, the common people are wronged. Please listen to me and tell me the grievances in detail!" The plaintiff, the old farmer who knelt down, began to tell his grievances.

"The old farmer was originally from Xiahe Village, Hejian County, and has always been at peace! A few days ago, I went out to visit my little daughter's house. Unexpectedly, when I returned to the village today, I found that I could not find a place. The little people had no choice but to report to the official. As a result, the few soldiers who were very skilled and brave just now caught this sneaky person in the approximate location of the village."

The old farmer cried, but he knew that the people in the village were probably in danger. He didn't know why the village was obviously in that direction, but now it can't be found.

"These words are so strange. What are you going to sue him?" Cheng Shou also heard it unclearly, but pointed at the young man and asked. For a moment, he thought the old farmer could not find his way home.

The old farmer said: "I suspect this person is related to the missing village! The villain said just now that the village disappeared, it really disappeared! I can no longer find our village nearby."

When Cheng Shou heard this, he finally understood that it was not that the old man could not find his way home. There were too many things recently, which made him nervous and always afraid of making mistakes and mistaken the Demon Emperor's explanation. When he heard this, he suddenly felt enlightened and knew that this matter was big or small. A village disappeared in vain. If the old man did not lie, then there would be a ghost!

The city guard looked at the soldiers on both sides and asked, "Who brought these two people back just now? Let's talk about the details!



"It was brought back by the two brothers who were waiting for me!"

Two soldiers crossed the team and bowed and said, "According to the order of the Lord, my brothers have been inspecting the place in Hejian County these days! At noon today, I happened to meet this old farmer. Seeing that his appearance was suspicious, my brothers stepped forward to question him. There was also a local road guide on this person. My brothers used their spiritual sense to observe the road guide. The place where they lived was engraved, but for some reason, such a strange thing happened!"

The two soldiers seemed to be two brothers, and seemed to find it a little incredible. They stood there, afraid that the city guard would not believe them.

Cheng Shou frowned and said, "You two have already achieved great success in the late stage of the Demonic Transformation and have entered the Return to Void Period. Naturally, they should have their own opinions. Let me tell you in detail the causes and consequences."

After saying that, Cheng Shou glanced at the young man who seemed to be uncomfortable all over. He saw him lowering his head, looking impatient, but there was no fear on his face, as if he had some reliance!

The two soldiers looked at each other, but the older brother said, "At that time, I found that the old man was suspicious, so I stopped him and wanted to ask. Unexpectedly, he knelt down and cried, saying that someone had stolen their village! We didn't believe it at first, after all, we didn't find any village nearby. However, when we looked at his way, we found that there should be a village there, but now there is nothing, only a valley with gurgling water!"

"Uh? What's next?" Cheng Shuo said.

"I felt something strange, my brother and I took the old man to search carefully. Because the village could completely disappear, and it was only one day. It was probably not a destructive damage, but someone used a trick! Although my brothers had entered the Demon Cultivation Period, they had not discovered anything for a while. The mountains were still mountains and the water was still water! If it weren't for the clearly marked in the road, we would definitely not believe it! Moreover, this place was very remote. If it weren't for our brothers' order to inspect these relatively remote places, it would probably be difficult for outsiders to discover this small village in the deep mountains in their lifetime!"

The sergeant seemed to say with some shock, after all, that experience is not something that ordinary people can do.

Cheng Shou asked again: "Even if someone uses means to deceive you, you should have discovered something, and then say!"

The soldier said, "The old man has been crying and thinking that everyone in his family has been killed. Of course, I cannot act hasty. After searching for a long time, I couldn't find any traces, the three of us hid on the mountainside, cast a small formation to hide ourselves, and peek there!"

"It was probably at night that we suddenly heard the sound of bells coming from the cold night sky, and we instantly understood that it was a soul-summoning bell!" The sergeant paused and continued, "The sound of the soul-summoning bell is very harsh and confusing. If my brothers had not joined forces, maybe even three of us living people would have been recruited!"

Sergeant Yi said: "Soon, we saw a man in a Taoist robe, sneaking in and out of paper money, holding a soul-suming banner in one hand, walking along the way. But behind him was a long list of evil ghosts! This man brought a group of evil ghosts to the location of the village, and a green light flashed and disappeared!"

The sergeant said, "We are afraid that we will stay there to alert the snakes. Although there are not many people entering and leaving the place, we have been searching there for some time during the day, and maybe it has already aroused the suspicion of others! If we hadn't had the invisibility technique given by the Demon World Army, we would have probably been exposed! So, we squatted for half a night and saw many people taking advantage of the night to catch ghosts in the mountains and sending ghosts into the village! We waited for a long time and finally caught the last boy who entered and came out!"

When the old man heard about the serious matter, he shouted: "Master, it is indeed the location of our village. The old farmer will never make any mistakes after living for half his life. Please make the decision for me!"

The person watching the trial of the case was also pointed and asked the official to try the case fairly. Cheng Shou frowned, but wanted to drive away the onlookers. However, after thinking about what the Demon Emperor usually said, he did not drive people away. He just thought that this was an ordinary demon and monster pretending to be a ghost.

Cheng Shou asked, "You suspect, not only isn't rude when you see me, but now you have been accused of guilt. You don't even plead guilty. Are you really not afraid of the law of my demon world that will give you a great sin?"

The young man had pink heads and tender faces, but he didn't care what Cheng Shou said at all. He just knelt there, no matter how he said nothing!

Seeing that the suspect did not speak, Cheng Shou began to think about it. The village disappeared for no reason, and it must have been cast by someone to cover people's eyes. But in the middle of the night, with the protection of the deep mountains, some people actually sent many evil ghosts and evil ghosts into the village. What was going on? Could it be that someone was very compassionate to open a water and land temple to save the evil spirits and evil ghosts?

"Bold suspect, please come to me according to the truth. Are you doing the sacrifice and refining evil treasures? Humph, with so many evil spirits and evil spirits, what you do must be dirty. If you didn't come to me according to the truth, be careful that under the law of the demon world, you will never be reborn!"

The two soldiers saw that the suspect was not speaking, but they stepped forward and held him tightly, pressed him to the ground, and knelt on the ground. In fact, the criminals had five mountain talismans on their bodies, and outsiders could not escape even if they didn't reveal it!

"Ba! Honestly explain, what is your origin! Otherwise, I will definitely take the power granted by the Demon Emperor, use the method of searching for gods, and take the memory in your spiritual consciousness to see how you can escape!"

The city guard is not an ordinary local official. In the Demon World, there is an official from the mortal world in every place. For example, the official from the mortal world in Jingxiguan is called the prefect. However, the city guard is directly assigned by the Demon Palace, which specializes in handling the responsibilities of some gods, ghosts, and special periods, and supervising the world.

At this moment, the young man could no longer calm down and shouted loudly: "Let me go, let me go. My master will not let you go! Let me go, it hurts me!"

As soon as the young man opened his mouth, he was shocked. This was not a young man. His voice was like a baby, and even his voice was not like a man. His originally pink face was flushed red.

The Lord of the City Shou said angrily: "You are bold and unruly, and you will say that you don't want to say it, and you will suffer a little. You will still clamor and threaten me! If you don't follow the actual tricks, you will be punished!"

The young man broke free, but he started to sway. Finally, he made up his mind. After squirming the corners of his mouth, he sprayed a big mouthful of blood, and shouted loudly: "Master, save me!!"

The blood mist in the sky was squirting strangely, but then it turned into a light smoke and disappeared.

"No, hurry up and call the masters in my city here!" Cheng Shou knew that the criminal had used the magic spell that had been transmitted from thousands of miles away, so he dared not look down on him anymore! As soon as this method was released, the person who was receiving the response could instantly sense the crisis thousands of miles away. If he was a master, he would probably come in a flash!

The yamen suddenly became a mess, and all the onlookers were driven out. Only Zhou Cheng bewitched the two soldiers who were guarding him because they were both suspects, so he continued to stay there because he was a few nice words. The city guard asked for a while, but he had no intention of paying attention.

The sound of bells and chimes suddenly came from Jingxi Pass, and then someone shouted: "The city gate is closed..."

A group of military masters also quickly headed towards the city guard's yamen, but in an instant they surrounded the yamen, waiting for the person who saved people to come to the door, thus capturing the thief's party in one net!

Soon after, a man came in the clouds, but a young man in white landed arrogantly in front of the yamen, ignoring the warning soldiers at the door.

"Why are you bold and unruly people good at the important places of our yamen? Take down the people here!" The city guard saw that the people coming were fierce and seemed to be a common person, but he was the yamen set up by the Demon Emperor in every big city, so how could ordinary people break through? If the Demon Censor complained, the future of the city guard would be over. What the Demon Emperor was most concerned about was face.

The young man in white bowed and said, "The little man has seen the city guard. I am the eldest son of the Demon Emperor sitting down and the long-eared Dingguang Demon. The day before yesterday, I had an outsider at my family. I accidentally passed by Hejian County and found a place where ghosts and monsters were rampant. The ghosts scattered into the surrounding mountains and forests after ravaging the village. The disciples of my family could not bear the death of the villagers, and did not allow ghosts and monsters to rush around. But they set up magic circles to save the dead souls, and then put the scattered nearby ghosts into the formation and liberated them together. This servant is the follower of my family! This is my demon road guide!"

Cheng Shou asked someone to take it over and see it. It turned out to be the eldest son of the Long Er Ding Light Demon. It turned out to be the famous Long Er Ding Light Demon. He was at the same level as the Demon Master. Cheng Shou was shocked and stood up and said, "So it's really a young man who is here. There are some misfortunes to welcome him, and some misfortunes to welcome him!"

"Everything I said is true. I hope the Lord of the City Guard will understand clearly!" The son of the Long-Ear Dingguang Demon seemed to be afraid that the Demon of the City Guard would not believe it, but he was obsessed with the young man and angrily scolded: "You are not diligent at all, you are lazy and stubborn, but you are still stubborn and hard-working. Why don't you admit your mistake to Lord of the City Guard!"

The young man also frowned, then seemed to remember something, and said, "Forgive me, Lord Chengshou, this time it was the villain's fault. I hope the experts will forgive me!"

Cheng Shou was stunned, but saw an old farmer kneeling beside him. He was about to say something, but he saw the son of the long-eared Dingguang Demon speaking again:

"This old man is extremely pitiful. At that time, my father's subordinates were one step late, otherwise he would be able to keep this person's village peaceful! Well, from now on, the village will no longer exist, so I will take you away and find you a good home! So that you can be well-off when you are old and you will not have to worry about food and clothing!"

When the old farmer heard this, he was overjoyed. There was such a good thing in the world. Although he had never heard of the long-eared light demon, seeing that the city guards were so flattering, it was definitely a great place. He dared not act against it. He just thought that his family and the village were really damaged by the wild ghosts in the mountains. As for why the village could not even see a piece of rubble, it was not a question that ordinary people could think about. Once some things involved immortals, demons, ghosts and gods, they would become very complicated, and this matter is no exception.

Cheng Shou thought about it and said, "Since the complainant is reasonable, I will naturally not be difficult for the young master's disciple. Master, come and prepare a copy and let someone take the young master's disciple away!"

After saying that, Cheng Shou bowed his hand to the son of the long-eared Dingguang Demon, said goodbye, and then turned around to deal with Zhou Cheng's affairs.

"Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going?" Cheng Shou asked.

Zhou Cheng looked at the young master with the long-eared light demon, then bowed to the city and bowed and bowed to the city and said, "The villain is a practitioner. When he was still in his infancy, he was carried to the mountain gate by the teacher in the mountain, and the top leader raised all kinds of people. Then he taught the villain's magic, mostly astronomical principles, and the theory of qi and feng shui. The teacher turned into a demon and left without a trace, but left me alone. This time he went down the mountain, just to travel around the world, calculate a hexagram for those who are destined to be in the world, and to follow the memories of that year, and find his own home!"

Cheng Shou nodded, but said, "Listen to the report of the sergeant, it seems that it is understandable that you have no demonic path. However, I don't know whether what you said is true or false..."

At this moment, the filing was completed there, but the son of the Long Er Dingguang Demon bowed to Cheng Shouyi and was about to leave. Cheng Shou waved his hand and signaled to let go, but turned around and looked at Zhou Cheng meaningfully.

At this time, there were only a few of the city guards in the yamen. They saw that the city guard had the slightest posture they had just now, but they said in a solemn voice: "You said you are a fortune teller. OK, let's do it. What's the reason for the case just now? Yes, this man is indeed the eldest son of the Changer Dingguang Demon, but he is still a little tender, and some things have not deceived me!"

Zhou Cheng was stunned and then smiled and said, "Is it because the young master's style of conduct that caused adults to doubt it?"

Cheng Shou sighed and then said, "Hmph, all the powerful and powerful people in the world have such tempers. The Demon Emperor often warns us that only when they are strong can they be truly powerful. Look at others coldly because they are not strong enough. As the son of the Long Er Dingguang Demon, he is a little arrogant, so how could I blame him?"

Zhou Chengdao: "That's it?..."

Cheng Shou said, "Hmph. In this world, there is no equality in front of powerful people. Especially for this long-eared Dingguang Demon, although I don't know why the Demon Emperor has to tolerate him, I know that just by his long-eared Dingguang Demon's disciple style, he would never give birth to such a good son. He would actually ask for my official position for a mortal. This is the biggest flaw! Humph, I have already sent someone to follow him secretly. If I find a handle, I will report to the Demon Emperor and punish him. What's more... Humph."

Zhou Cheng smiled secretly and said, "You have other tasks, right? The one who supervises the world is also the minions of the foreign sect. It is said that there are treasures in the demon world, but no one can calculate where they are. I think you are the one sent by Shi Zhong, who wants to start from the mortal world and find any clues. The matter in Xiahe Village, Hejian County is clearly a ghost. I don't believe it, you won't report it."

"The Lord of the City Guardian really understands thousands of miles." Zhou Chengdao.

"Then you can calculate this matter, what exactly? If there is a fraud, tell me now that the spy will be able to confront each other later!" Lord Chengshou smiled, but his expression made people feel very cold.

Zhou Cheng smiled and said, "How can fortune-telling and fortune-telling be seen by the master? Besides, the number of days changes, and fortune-tellers are just talking about the possibility of that line! It is said that they are the heavens and earth to tell people fortunes, but it is actually just a bet! If you force me to calculate, I may not be able to see it."

Cheng Shou said, "Hmph, what you said is not wrong. Even if you are an excuse, I will bet with you to see when the spy will come back. If you don't come back within the agreed time, I will give you a guide and let you go. If you come back early, I will take you to the prison. You who call yourself fortune teller will not run around the world to harm the sentient beings in the demon world."

Zhou Cheng thought to himself, he didn't expect that this city guard would be so disgusted with other people's fortune telling, and he was so low-key that he was hated by him. It seems that fortune telling is not very popular in the demon world.

"My fate is up to me, but I can't help it. If you really have three-point ability, you can calculate it. When will this spy come back?"

Zhou Chengdao: "Even if this person is in three incense sticks, he cannot come back. No need to calculate too much, his fate has been determined!"

"Hmph. I don't believe that you fortune tellers can really calculate the fate of others!" Cheng Shou was very dissatisfied and immediately attracted his subordinates. He set up three incense sticks, but lit the first one. He really wanted to bet on those three incense sticks.

"The Demon Emperor told the people that any destiny is unreliable. You dare to tell fortunes everywhere! You go out and see, my demon world is not full of food and clothing, but are there anyone hungry? Even in the remote place, there is still the kindness of the Demon Emperor, and you dare to tell fortunes everywhere and fool the people! This time, you see how you lose, how do you speak!" Cheng Shou became more and more angry as if he had great resentment with Zhou Cheng, and he was easily unwilling to give up.

In fact, the person who was sent out to follow him in secret just now was one of the few masters in Jingxi Guanzhong, and he was also a master who was about to enter the realm of the Demon General. Once he entered the demon general, he would be in the same position as the Golden Immortal. Therefore, Cheng Shou did not believe that the three incense sticks were not enough for him to come back. Whether he had discovered it or not, the three incense sticks had been too long for a master in the realm of the Demon (Xuanxian).

Time slowly slipped away with the sparse sound of hourglass beside it, and then three incense sticks were finally burned. A gust of wind passed, but the incense ash scattered. Cheng Shou's face was solemn, as if he had forgotten the bet, and his concentration seemed to be counting.

"Mr. Chengshou, I am lucky enough to bet against one game. I wonder if the adults can give up their hands and let the villain go?" Zhou Cheng chuckled.

Cheng Shou was still feeling embarrassed at this time. He had already made up his mind and waved his hand to let Zhou Cheng go.

"My devil's way? You can set my origin as Jingxi Pass!" Zhou Chengdao.

"Well, Master, do what he said!" Cheng Shou felt more and more uneasy, but he turned back to the back hall, looking hurried, not knowing what he was doing. Maybe he was going to report it.

"The Demon Road Initiation is good." Zhou Cheng took the Demon Road Initiation and left the city guarding yamen, passing through the downtown area, and heard a lot of things.

"You are short of weight, be careful that Lord Demon Emperor punishes you!"

"You shrew, you falsely accuse me of your fault. Let's go and go to the Demon Emperor Temple in the city. Everyone confronts you in front of the Demon Emperor!"

"If you go, go, the fair Demon Emperor will appear and make the decision."

....

"I've hit someone, I've hit someone. Oh, I've hit someone to death. You've been hit by a thousand swords, but you actually hit your young wife. You and I go to the Demon Emperor Temple to see if you dare to hit someone!"
To be continued...
