Chapter 135: Night of the Pure Land! Sudden Change! Inspector Wuchang, carrying a small flag named Lin Yan, rode out of the city on horseback. It didn't take long for the news to reach the ears of various forces. "At this time, Wuchang actually left the city?" "It should be Dayinjiang." "The general flag envoy from Licheng was escorting the second son of the deputy city lord of Qifeng Prefecture to Canyu Prefecture. He was caught in the storm in Dayin River." "Wu Chang held a banquet last night for this General Pei Xiong. Given his personality, it is normal for him to go out of the city to investigate." "This person has recently messed up Gaoliu City, and now he wants to interfere with our business in the outer city. The loss to us is too heavy." "In the city, he is the inspector. If we leave the city, we may be able to get rid of him." "If it were in the past, it would be feasible to ambush and kill him halfway, but Li Shenzong's declaration of war is there. If we kill Wuchang early, I'm afraid it will anger Li Shenzong."
"Before Xu Dingye arrived at Gaoliu City, this letter of challenge was the amulet of Wuchang." "It seems that it is still difficult to take action. However, if he can die in the wind and waves of the dragon, everything will be fine." "Who says it isn't?" - The two horses galloped away towards the Dayin River. The little white ape transformed into Lin Xiaoqi's appearance, but was obviously more agile than before. "Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, what is the effect?" Lin Yan asked, tilting his head. "My bloodline has grown significantly. If I have two more, my bloodline inheritance will be able to reach a higher level." The little white ape responded. "Brother Pei, with his cultivation at the Refining Essence Realm, took on such a dangerous mission, and in return he only got a Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, which shows how precious this item is." Lin Yan said calmly: "You should be content... Know why I brought you out this time?" "Naturally, I have to borrow my bloodline heritage to explore the changes in Dayinjiang." The little white ape was the creature in the world that understood Lin Yan best, and he immediately said, "Master, do you think the people from the Heavenly Supervisory Department will not be able to find any clues?" "Mr. Lu gave me the water-repellent ointment so that I could explore it." Lin Yan said calmly: "Obviously Lord Lu also feels that Deputy Commander Zhou may not be able to find the clues he wants..." Two horses galloped away. The sky is getting dark. The sun is setting in the west and is about to fall. Not far ahead, there are three small clean areas and one medium-sized clean area. -
The place where Lin Yan planned to stay tonight was still a small clean place. However, among the small pure lands in the world, it is relatively spacious. At least these two horses can be brought into the pure land. But when Lin Yan arrived, he found the mark of the Heavenly Supervisor. "Who is coming?" At the edge of that pure land, there was a flag bearer from the Heavenly Monitoring Division stationed there, who immediately shouted loudly. "This is me, the general flag bearer of the Wuchang Division of the Outer South Division, and I also serve as the inspector of the new city." The little white ape responded loudly. "Is it the Inspector Wuchang?" The flag bearer on duty was surprised and dropped his guard. When two horses in the distance approached, he confirmed that they were the Inspector Wuchang, then he stepped forward and saluted. "I am Pan Yun, your subordinate, and I am honored to meet the Inspector." "You're welcome." Lin Yan dismounted and said, "I remember you followed Deputy Commander Zhou out of the city today, why are you here?" There is a medium-sized clear area ahead, which should be large enough to accommodate Deputy Commander Zhou and others without them being separated. "The river of the Great Yin River has flooded, and the teams of merchants and cities transporting materials have been delayed and gathered in the medium-sized clearing ahead." Pan Yun, the flag bearer, whispered, "So Deputy Commander Zhou ordered us to disperse and temporarily live in a small clean area nearby." "How many people are there in the pure land?" Lin Yan asked. "Including me, there are eight of us in total," replied Pan Yun, the flag bearer. "Is there still room for two of us and two horses?" Lin Yan asked. "If the Inspector does not mind the narrow space, we can still accommodate you," Pan Yun said quickly. "Let's go and tell me what you have discovered today." Lin Yan said. "please……" Pan Yun quickly led him into the pure land. Lin Yan walked in front and motioned the little white ape to follow. The little white ape was quite nervous at this moment. It is a demon itself, and has an instinctive fear of the pure places in the world. Legend has it that if evil spirits enter the pure land, it will cause bad omens. But following Lin Yan's footsteps, it took this step with trembling hands, only to find that there was no movement in the pure land.
"..." Lin Yan couldn't help but glance at him, thinking to himself, "As Mr. Lu said, this guy is no longer a pure demon." The little white ape could barely be considered a monster, but since it was born from the flames of the forest, it was half human. Judging from the characteristics of the Nirvana Egg, it cannot even be considered a real living being, but more like a "strange thing" with intelligence! At this moment, it was expected that there would be no changes in this small pure land. "Inspector Wu Chang?" There was also a flag bearer among them, named Chen Feng, who immediately stood up to greet the visitor when he saw him. As for the other six, they were all small flags directly under the Inner City Main Building, but they had high cultivation and great abilities, and could be considered elite. All six of them were at the second level of martial arts, and each had his own specialties. Some are good at healing, some are good at exploring the terrain, and some are good at observing weather changes... As long as they accumulate enough merits and are approved by the Inner City's Heavenly Supervisor, they will be eligible to be promoted to the position of Flag Bearer. And this time, the trip to Dayinjiang is an opportunity for them to accumulate merits. "Deputy Commander Zhou, there is a clearing upstream. We will set off tomorrow to meet him." Pan Yun, the flag bearer, looked at Lin Yan and said solemnly: "Today's investigation found that the waves on the Dayin River were turbulent, with the waves as high as 30 to 50 meters, which can be called a raging sea, but..." Chen Feng, the flag bearer, took over the conversation and said, "But there is no strong wind today. It is not the strong wind that has caused the big waves, but the rising tide in the Dayin River." "Hasn't it been confirmed long ago that it was the giant snake that transformed into a dragon and caused the trouble?" The little white ape couldn't help but wonder. "That's the problem." Pan Yun, the flag bearer, whispered: "Stirring up trouble, but there is no wind..." Chen Feng said in a serious tone, "More than 30 of our brothers, under the instruction of Deputy Commander Zhou, separated from the middle reaches and searched up and down, but found no trace of the 'Jiao Snake'." "Oh?" Lin Yan couldn't help but ponder: "The big snake turned into a dragon. It should be the source of the storm. How could it disappear? And according to the information, it is not small in size..." "Before it turned into a dragon, this green snake was as thick as a millstone and more than ten feet long. It lived in the upper reaches of the Dayin River, more than a hundred miles away from Gaoliu City." Pan Yun, the flag bearer, said, "But this time, the disturbance started in the middle and upper reaches, about 70 to 80 miles away from Gaoliu City." "Does that mean that the giant snake moved silently and dozens of miles down the river?" Lin Yan thought of the information about the giant snake he had learned from Lord Lu, and couldn't help but say, "Logically speaking, it would be best for it to transform into a dragon in its old lair, where the terrain is advantageous. Why would it suddenly change to another place and transform into a dragon in such a hurry?" They looked at each other and fell silent. Lin Yan frowned. He had some doubts in his heart. Where could that big snake be? Although the Dayin River is long and wide, the snake is not small in size. Now it is at the critical juncture of transforming into a dragon, so it is impossible for it to lie dormant quietly. How could Deputy Commander Zhou and his men not be able to find any trace of a giant snake that was stirring up chaos and causing great trouble?
"Deputy Commander Zhou also found it very strange, and the timing of the transformation into a dragon was not right." Pan Yun and Chen Feng both felt that this matter was a bit strange, but they could not find any clues. Lin Yan didn't say much, but asked thoughtfully: "What are you going to do after dawn tomorrow?" Pan Yun, the flag bearer, responded, "Continue searching along the river. If we find any traces, we will move away and light the beacon." Lin Yan pondered and said, "Then wait for Deputy Commander Zhou to come and kill the dragon?" The two flag bearers fell silent for a moment. Then he heard Chen Feng, the flag bearer, say, "If it is still at the stage of transforming into a dragon, then it must be extremely weak... If we capture it today, perhaps Deputy Commander Zhou can kill the dragon snake, but by tomorrow, there will be basically no chance." Pan Yun, the flag bearer, whispered, "If it has already transformed into a dragon, even if our highest commander takes action, he may not be sure of victory." Immediately, the two flag bearers looked at each other and did not hide anything. After all, the Inspector Wuchang in front of him is highly regarded by the current highest commander of Gaoliu City. In just a month, he was promoted from a small flag to a flag-bearing officer, and then promoted to the chief flag-bearer. Now he was granted the power of life and death over the inspector! In addition, the name of Wuchang resounded throughout Gaoliu. The young man in front of him has already made a great reputation both inside and outside Gaoliu City for being "unafraid of authority and caring about the human race." "actually……" Pan Yun, the flag bearer, said: "The purpose of our trip is not to kill the dragon, but to find its location on both sides of the Dayin River and build an altar." "Build an altar?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the city planning to do?" The two flag bearers looked at each other and then said, "If we find the big snake today, Deputy Commander Zhou will hold it back and cooperate with Liu Zun Temple to kill it in Dayin River and offer it as a sacrifice to Liu Zun!" "What if you can't find it today?" asked the little white ape. "Then we will build an altar to gather the incense of the temple." Pan Yun, the flag bearer, said: "The temple priest will try to communicate with it and ask it to stay a hundred miles away from Gaoliu City. From now on, we will not invade each other..." “From now on, I will offer huge amounts of incense to it every year?” Lin Yan suddenly thought of something and laughed. "Then I don't know." Chen Feng, the flag bearer, said so. "What if this conversation fails?" Lin Yan asked again. "The commander, the current city guard, the ancestors of the six major families in the inner city, and the three temple priests of Liuzun Temple are ready to take action at any time." Pan Yun, the flag bearer, whispered: "If we fail, they will work together to kill the dragon!" "..." Lin Yan raised his eyebrows. Does the dragon in the Dayin River require the joint efforts of the strongest people in Gaoliu City to kill it? It seems that it is much more powerful than I expected? But the next moment, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "If that's the case, why don't we all go out together today and kill the snake before it transforms into a dragon?" "do not know."
The two flag bearers both shook their heads. Pan Yun hesitated and said, "Deputy Commander Zhou will know more because he followed the commander to the Liuzun Temple." "Then the commander stayed in the temple. When he returned to the Heavenly Supervisory Office, he summoned us and we set out immediately to Dayinjiang." "What I told you earlier was what Deputy Commander Zhou told us on the way." The two flag bearers seemed to want to say something here, but did not continue. Lin Yan understood what they meant. The two of them, as flag bearers, were able to be informed of the news. Obviously, what I just said are not the most important secrets. Therefore, as the chief flag bearer and inspector, Lin Yan is also qualified to know the news. But for more confidential information, he would probably have to wait until he asked Deputy Commander Zhou in person. "It's night." The small flags stationed outside hurriedly entered the clean land. It was still evening, so we needed to stay at the edge of the clean area. Otherwise, if some bad guys come and we die together with them on the edge of the pure land, it will be really troublesome. There is precedent for this! But after nightfall, evil spirits appeared in the darkness, and now no bad guys could get close. Everyone gathered in the clean place, and saw these small flags from the main building in the inner city of the Jiantian Division taking out some food. "It's not appropriate to drink alcohol while on duty, so I'll use tea instead of wine. Cheers to Master Wu!" The two flag bearers and six small flags all raised their teacups and bowed in salute. Lin Yan was not arrogant either. He raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Afterwards, everyone ate dinner and chatted for a while. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they sent four small flagmen to take turns to stand guard at night. Lin Yan and others also prepared to rest their eyes and go to see Deputy Commander Zhou after tonight. The light of the flame illuminates this pure land. Occasionally add some firewood, and there will be crackling sounds. This night was eerily quiet. The little white ape, on the other hand, felt scared and nervous when he entered the pure land for the first time. He felt uneasy but also excited. It looked around, and then looked again, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the pure land? It doesn't look much different from an ordinary cave?"
It walked around and couldn't imagine why the demons in the past regarded the pure land in the eyes of humans as a forbidden area that could not be set foot on? No matter whether it is monsters or evil spirits, they dare not approach the edge of the pure land. But there really isn’t anything mysterious here. Thinking this way, it could not fall asleep, so it went outside and shouted, "Brother, go back and rest first. I will guard the first half of the night." "Lin Xiaoqi is too polite. You have to stay with the inspector. Go to bed early and stay alert tomorrow." The little flag chuckled and said so. The little white ape was just about to say that he was full of energy at the moment. But suddenly I felt something was not right. It lowered its head and found that its feet were wet. It is a paper figure made by the technique of paper cutting into horses. At this moment, my feet were wet, and there were traces of wetness, which continued to spread towards the knees and up. "Where did the water come from?" Xiaoqi also felt his shoes were wet. He turned around and looked with a look of surprise. A few days ago, I was probably tired and very sleepy. I felt like I didn’t get enough sleep all day… (End of this chapter)
