Lu Li was the only one left in the courtyard. He casually set up some illusions to isolate the room and fell into deep thought.
"Why did the Yamen have to wait until two days before starting to eliminate the monster? And how confident is it that it can know where the monster appears?"
This was the confusion that arose in his heart after he applied.
For some reason, Lu Li always felt that there were some secrets hidden behind his two questions.
But the information collected now is too little, and even if something is wrong, we can't make a better response.
"However, the so-called baby-crying bird demon, no matter how powerful it is, cannot be a big demon. As long as it does not exceed the five-qi Chaoyuan, it is not a big problem to have some secrets."
Although it has not yet reached the peak of the Five Qi Chaoyuan.
But Lu Li is confident that with his current level of magical power, he can be said to be invincible among real people.
No matter what the secret is behind it, just use your strength to break the situation and push it past.
"Just wait for two days and see what tricks the county government will do after two days?"
Putting the matter aside, Lu Li continued to refine the gray energy.
It¡¯s strange to say.
It seems that with the arrival of these immortal masters, the monster in the city was really frightened and stopped harming the baby.
Those magicians were very proud of this, thinking that they had scared the monster out of its courage, but Lu Li felt that the hidden secret behind this was getting bigger and bigger.
Two days passed quickly.
This morning.
Lu Li had just finished a night of practice and had just left the hospital when he saw the innkeeper approaching.
"Mr. Lu, the Yamen has sent someone to gather the demon slayer masters who have applied."
The shopkeeper said this the first time they met.
"Lu knows it."
Lu Li nodded, and then followed the shopkeeper to the hall.
At this time, there was a commotion in the hall.
Countless gods and goddesses in strange costumes, as well as Taoist priests and monks who looked like humans, were all gathered in the hall.
In the center of these people.
There was a man wearing a yamen arrester's costume, standing with two policemen at his side. There were two more policemen standing at the door of the inn, as if to prevent these people from escaping.
Think about it too.
The yamen and the big households in the county paid so much money just to use these people. If they ran away at the end of the day, it would be a huge loss.
Maybe there are people watching at the city gate.
"Everyone should report their identity tags and come to me to verify their identities. Once confirmed, you can go out. Someone will guide you outside and they will take you to eliminate the demon."
The catcher held a book in his hand, which was the account book kept by the innkeeper these days. Everyone who had eaten and drank here with a nameplate was recorded in the book.
This is the perfect time to verify the identities of these people.
After hearing this, each of the magicians suddenly looked a little nervous. Their eyes turned left and right, as if they were planning to escape. When they saw the policeman guarding the door of the inn and the guards patrolling the street, they all leaked again. tone.
This kind of strict defense is not so easy to escape.
"In short, each of the magicians has completed the verification at the arrester's place. Anyone who has had sex here for free will not be able to escape."
Lu Li never thought of running away, he walked up in a calm manner.
"Name?"
"Land from."
"Who are you?"
"Shouyang County, Tianshui County."
The same words were repeated this time. The catcher nodded, so he was a little surprised by Lu Li's dress, but he still said businesslikely: "Take your identity plate and go outside."
Lu Li nodded and stepped out of the door.
When he arrived at the door, he realized that a large number of people had gathered here.
There were officials from the government office and the garrison from the city watching around.
Next to this is an inn street, which is basically used to house these "immortal masters" these days.
A while later.
A few more people came out of several inns nearby. A man dressed as a captain from the nearby garrison saw them. He briefly counted the number of people, and then stepped forward and said, "Okay, you guys will follow me first."
Say it.
The captain then walked in one direction minding his own business.
"Hurry up, keep up."
"What are you looking at? Follow."
"Let's go."
Seeing that the captain had made a decision, some soldiers nearby immediately stepped forward and scolded those "immortal masters". Their words were vulgar and rude, without any respect at all.
Like
It¡¯s like driving away prisoners.
This caused great dissatisfaction among the "immortal masters", but when they saw the shining swords and guns, the dissatisfaction reached their throats and they swallowed it again. They could only mutter a few words and followed reluctantly.
Lu Li mingled among the crowd and watched this scene silently, feeling vaguely aware of it in his heart.
Amid the commotion, a group of "immortal masters" were escorted by soldiers and they didn't know where they were being sent.
Within the city.
A mansion somewhere.
¡°Wow¡wow wow¡¡±
"ha¡¡"
"Wow wow wow"
The cries and laughter of babies could be heard one after another in a courtyard somewhere in the mansion.
Around the courtyard.
At this time, there were dozens of soldiers guarding the place, as well as some Yamen officials.
In the house in the courtyard.
"Are all the babies from the big families in the city here?"
A middle-aged man wearing a general's uniform and a majestic face turned to look at the person next to him and asked.
"They are all here, thirteen in total, all babies under one year old, all gathered here by the lower officials."
The person who spoke was wearing a blue official uniform. If there was a familiar person in the city, he would definitely recognize him as the magistrate of Cangsong County.
"That's good, plus those magic sticks, we should be able to satisfy the Lord God."
The middle-aged general nodded with satisfaction, a relaxed smile on his face.
"General"
The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, then listened to the cries in his ears, and then said: "If we really do this, I'm afraid it will arouse the anger of the wealthy gentry in the city, and I'm afraid it will lead to a civil commotion. And so many people will die at once. People, and babies, would be too harmful to the world."
"snort."
Hearing the county magistrate¡¯s words, the middle-aged general snorted coldly. He was so frightened that the other man trembled. He sneered and said, ¡°Are you starting to show your conscience now?
¡°That¡¯s not what I said when I asked you to collect babies and when you posted the recruitment list.
And a civil unrest?
Now that the army is in Cangsong County, they can try changing their ways, just in time to let my son-in-law relax. "
Speaking.
The middle-aged general turned around and walked out of the room, leaving behind a faint sentence.
"Let's go, this will soon be a dining place for the gods. If you want to become food, just stay here."
The county magistrate suddenly shuddered when he thought of the deity he had seen before, with a look of fear on his face.
It was precisely because he knew how terrifying it was to respect the gods that he cooperated in doing these things.
"Waitwait for me."
The county magistrate shouted in fear and quickly followed out the door.
