The soul and the body are inseparable. After a night of hard work, Zhou Qing's soul was in a bad state, so much so that his martial arts training during the day was affected.
This attracted Bai Ruoyue's inquiry.
"Little Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"I was busy all night with Aunt Mo yesterday. I'm so tired."
Lu Qingmo had been watching over him while he was practicing Yang Di Fire and was very busy.
"You two have been busy all night?"
A question mark appeared on Bai Ruoyue's face.
"Busy practicing."
“Oh, I see.”
She believed it straight away.
In the evening, Zhang Yuantao received an unexpected news from outside.
"I heard that traces of evil cultivators were found outside Black Cloud Town. They are quite powerful, and there are even some at the Bone Refining Stage."
Zhou Qing was a little surprised, "Which evil demon is this from?"
"I don't know. Zuo Tianzheng has already sent the Black Cloud Guards to pursue them."
Zhang Yuantao explained the news he had received in detail.
"It seems that those evil demons were committing crimes in the village outside the town. They were discovered by the patrolling Black Cloud Guards and the news was passed back."
"Those evil spirits have already escaped. Zuo Tianzheng said that he would avenge the people who were killed in that village and bring the murderer to justice."
"A lot of Black Cloud Guards have been dispatched, and they are doing their best to chase after those murderers."
“It’s a troubled time.”
Zhou Qing thought of the news he got from the Department of Ghosts and Gods, that there were traces of evil spirits in other counties under Tianyue, and they had harmed many people.
There are evil spirits in other counties, so it is naturally impossible to avoid the center of the vortex in Heiyun Town.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to prevent evil spirits from harming people, and we can basically only wait until something happens before dealing with it.
Perhaps the evildoer can be brought to justice in the end, but the damage has already been done.
Unlike Zhou Qing's previous life, this world has martial arts and Taoism, and maintaining law and order and peace is more difficult.
The lower-class creatures can be said to be living in danger from day to day, and no one knows which will come first, tomorrow or the evil spirit.
Only practice is the only way to control your own destiny!
Zhang Yuantao sighed, "I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible."
At noon the next day, an unexpected person came to Taibai.
The people from the garrison came looking for Bai Ruoyue, saying that they had something to entrust to her.
After some discussion, Bai Ruoyue sent the government officials away.
"What did the government official ask you to do?" Zhou Qing was a little curious.
"Why not send the Black Cloud Guards to do it?"
After saying that, Zhou Qing reacted immediately.
Many Black Cloud Guards were called upon yesterday to hunt down those evil demons that were causing harm to people.
Ever since Zuo Tianzheng's Black Cloud Guards grew in strength, the government rarely visited the various families and martial arts schools to ask them to do things.
Because many people from various families and martial arts schools have joined the Black Cloud Guard, this force has grown to the point where it can handle most problems.
Even if most of the Black Cloud Guards are in Black Mountain to "maintain order", the forces outside are enough to cooperate with the Ghost and God and Dingwu Departments.
However, after what happened yesterday, the Black Cloud Guards might be temporarily short of manpower.
"They asked me to deal with a wanted criminal who committed a murder." Bai Ruoyue explained: "There is a warrior who has just entered the Bone Refining Realm. He committed murder last night because of a treasure. He was discovered this morning and has now escaped from Black Cloud Town."
"The bone-refining warriors in the Black Cloud Guard are either chasing after the evil demons we found yesterday, or they have other important matters and cannot move without permission, so they asked me for help."
Although Bai Ruoyue is at the internal organs realm, it is no secret that she has bone refining combat power.
At first, she fought with Long Tianya of Tenglong Martial Arts School. Later, she easily suppressed the inner disciples of Tianlong and subdued the Bone Refining Realm in the street. Facts proved everything.
Isn't she just a bone refining expert in disguise of internal organs? It is reasonable and normal to ask her to help when there is a shortage of manpower.
"You agreed?"
"I agreed." Bai Ruoyue nodded. "I have done many things like this before. This time it is within my ability, so I didn't refuse."
"Are you sure that person is just a beginner in bone refining?"
"When the murderer was first discovered, the government officials fought with him and even got a piece of his flesh. Their realm would not make a mistake in judgment."
"It is also because of that piece of flesh that even if the murderer has already escaped, we can track him down through Taoist methods."
Bai Ruoyue took out a mirror and said, "This is the magic weapon given to me by the people from the garrison. It can locate the murderer."
I saw a green dot and a red dot on the mirror. The former was motionless, while the latter was moving quickly.
"Oh, by the way, the people from the garrison also said that the murderer is suspected to have Taoist magic skills, so they have already communicated with the Ghost and God Department and will send a cultivator to assist me. He should be on the way now."
After hearing this, Zhou Qing thought for a while and then made a decision.
"I'll just go with you, there's no need to bother the other people in the Ghost and God Department."
Except for a few cultivators in the Black Cloud Ghost and God Division, none of them can be as powerful as him in terms of methods.
There is no way the people in the garrison would invite members of the Ghost and God Department from the Day Travel Realm, and the person who could come to assist would be at most a Night Travel Monk.
It is now broad daylight and the sun is shining brightly. If the Night Wandering Monk follows Bai Ruoyue to deal with the Bone Refining Warrior, he will have to trouble Bai Ruoyue for protection, which will affect her performance.
Why not just take action! "You?"
"The seventh-rank ghost and god of the Ghost and God Department is on patrol, and his rank is higher than that of a county magistrate or a governor!"
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows, "Big sister, you should be happy to have a seventh-rank ghost like me on the parade."
"Big sister, you are a commoner. Normally, you should be polite when you see me, but in your case, you don't need to be polite."
"Pretend."
Bai Ruoyue snorted, but she was naturally willing to let Zhou Qing be with her.
After explaining the situation to Shen Long and the others, he waited for the assistants from the Ghost and God Bureau to arrive and explained the situation to the man so that he could go back and report.
Then the two of them left Heiyun Town directly, looked at the magic weapon, and chased after the murderer.
"Junior brother, this is for you." Bai Ruoyue took out two pieces of talisman paper from the space bag.
"The people at the garrison gave it to me. It can speed us up so that we can catch up with the murderer."
Zhou Qing took the talisman paper and said, "That's quite thoughtful."
"Of course, after all, they asked me to do something, so these things must be prepared."
Bai Ruoyue said: "After the matter is completed, there will be no shortage of benefits. I will also ask for a reward on your behalf."
"That's a good feeling."
"What if we don't catch the murderer?"
"There's nothing I can do if I can't catch up with him." Bai Ruoyue explained.
"The government will not force us to complete this kind of commission. If we really can't do it, we can only issue a wanted notice to prevent that person from ever stepping into Black Cloud Town again."
Yes, this is something the government itself is unable to do, so it has to ask others for help.
All we can say is that we have tried our best, but there is no way that there will be any punishment if we fail to do so.
If there really is punishment, who would be willing to accept the government's commission?
During this time, Zhou Qing also gave Lu Qingmo a snail.
"Aunt Mo, I'm working hard for you, remember to reward me!"
Lu Qingmo was puzzled, "What are you doing?"
After telling her about the matter, Lu Qingmo was speechless.
She had just learned about this matter. The garrison asked a person from the Department of Ghosts and Gods for help. This was a small matter and there was no need to report it to her. The people below could make the decision.
And since Zhou Qing replaced the assistant of the Ghost and God Department, it makes sense to say that he was working for her.
She warned, "Be careful and don't be careless. After all, this is the Bone Refining Realm."
"Aunt Mo, don't worry." Bai Ruoyue interrupted and said:
"I will take good care of my junior brother!"
After killing the snail, Bai Ruoyue suddenly said:
"I didn't expect that what I said a few months ago would come true now."
"What?"
"Remember the first time you went out of town with Yun Duo?"
"After you came back that time, I told you that the government would sometimes entrust us with certain matters. I will take you to see them when I have the chance."
Bai Ruoyue smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you have already cultivated to this level, and this opportunity has just come."
Zhou Qing now remembered that Bai Ruoyue had indeed said this.
"It's not too late now."
"Yes, Junior Brother, today is the first time that the male and female evil spirits of our Black Cloud Town will appear together."
Bai Ruoyue's voice suddenly became a little excited.
"All the bad guys will be caught by us!"
"We must catch this murderer!"
The male and female evil spirits, what an outrageous name.
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"Big Sister, don't you think this title doesn't sound like a good person?"
"Don't you think so?" Bai Ruoyue waved her hand.
"It doesn't matter whether we look like good people or not, as long as we are doing good things."
“A good person has a good reputation, but a good reputation does not necessarily make a good person.”
I didn’t expect that the senior sister could see things so clearly.
But Zhou Qing still felt that the name of the male and female evil spirits was not good.
"I still think we should change the name."
"What would you like to change it to?"
"How about the Phoenix Legend?"
“It sounds terrible.”
Humph, Senior Sister who has no artistic talent at all, how stupid!
On the positioning magic weapon, the distance between the bone-refining warrior and the two men was slowly narrowing, but it was still not short.
This bone-refining warrior escaped first and gained the first-mover advantage. Moreover, warriors of this level can run extremely fast, which is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Fortunately, the warrior still cannot fly at this stage, otherwise it would be difficult to catch up.
"This guy can really run."
"It's a pity that Aunt Mo's flying carpet is not here with me."
As time passed, Zhou Qing and the other man became more spirited.
Because on the positioning device, the red dot representing the bone-refining warrior has slowed down.
This means he's slowed down.
"Hey, run, why isn't he running anymore?" Bai Ruoyue became excited.
Big sister, what you said really makes it seem like the two of us are villains...
"Maybe they thought it was safe, so they slowed down," Zhou Qing said.
He estimated the distance and found that they were already quite far away from Black Cloud Town, definitely hundreds of miles away.
The man slowed down a little, which was understandable.
Warriors are not never tired, nor are they "perpetual motion machines".
Then the man moved slower and slower, and the distance between the two sides was closing rapidly.
"Big sister, take this pill."
Zhou Qing suddenly took out a pill and handed it to Bai Ruoyue.
"It can relieve physical fatigue and restore true energy."
A long-distance raid will naturally consume some energy, and when facing the enemy, you must stay in peak condition.
After a while, a vigorous blood and terrifying energy appeared within the range of Zhou Qing's mental perception.
It was the bone-refining warrior! "Found it!"
The final distance passed in a flash, and a strange middle-aged man appeared in front of the two.
Naturally, the other party also discovered them.
The man's face suddenly changed and he ran immediately, but when he saw that Zhou Qing and the other man were even faster than him, he stopped again.
There's no way to escape at this distance.
"Two juniors from Taibai Martial Arts School?"
Judging from Zhou Qing's fame, it was obvious that he knew them.
"Exactly!"
Bai Ruoyue stomped heavily on the ground and shouted loudly:
"You dare to rob treasures and kill people in Black Cloud Town. You really have no respect for the law!"
The man snorted coldly, "King's law?"
"I have cultivated to the Bone Refining Realm, so I should be free from any restrictions. What kind of bullshit law do you think can control me?"
"Only ordinary people need to abide by the damn laws of the king, but warriors like us should do whatever we want!"
"Young man, how naive and stupid you are!"
The middle-aged man's words revealed his ideas and thoughts.
This is also the common idea of many practitioners.
Since I have the power, I can do whatever I want and no one can control me.
As someone with power, I should be above all worldly rules and laws.
Otherwise, I was governed by the law before I started practicing, and I am still governed by the law after I started practicing, so wouldn’t my practice be in vain? However, it is interesting that most people who hold such a philosophy hope that the other party will abide by the rules when facing a stronger person.
Taking "I" as the boundary, there is lawlessness below the self and discipline and law-abidingness above the self.
This is the true psychological portrayal of a considerable number of practitioners.
The middle-aged man's words could not shake Zhou Qing and the other man's hearts at all.
To do evil is to do evil, and no matter how much you talk, it cannot change this fact.
"If I ask you to surrender, I don't think you will agree." Zhou Qing said calmly, "I hope you can take more beatings."
The senior sister is very fierce!
"furious."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "When I, Liu Chen, was roaming the martial arts world, killing people and practicing martial arts, you two were still sucking milk!"
Liu Chen looked at Bai Ruoyue, "An internal organ realm warrior is on par with a bone refining warrior? What a genius."
"But you are not a bone refiner after all!"
"You come from Taibai Martial Arts School, and the treasures you have will satisfy me."
He didn't have much doubt about Bai Ruoyue's strength. After all, many people saw Bai Ruoyue subduing a bone-refining warrior in the street. If he still had doubts, he would have been mentally ill.
But acknowledging Bai Ruoyue's strength does not prevent him from having confidence in his own strength.
I'm different from those weaklings! As for Zhou Qing, he didn't even look at him.
So what if she had cultivated to the internal organs realm in a few months? In front of a bone training master like him, she was still too weak and didn't even have the qualifications to intervene in the battle.
Bai Ruoyue was rubbing her hands in anticipation, eager to try; she loved fighting.
Zhou Qing patted Bai Ruoyue on the back and pasted a piece of talisman paper on it. This was the spoils of war he had obtained before, a defensive talisman.
Zhou Qing naturally couldn't sell such a useful thing to Heibailou.
Senior Sister, you have been strengthened! "Junior Brother, you will be my scout!"
After Bai Ruoyue finished speaking, she rushed forward, fearing that Zhou Qing would compete with her for an opponent.
I am eighteen this year and I am afraid of underworld violence.
Zhou Qing released his mental power and carefully sensed his surroundings, but found nothing unusual.
This man was just like what the people in the garrison had said, a lone ranger.
very good.
Next, I will work together with Senior Sister to kill a Bone Refining Realm warrior.
So magnificent!
After getting married, my husband often goes out for social events and has less and less time to come home. Sometimes there are lipstick marks and perfume smell on his clothes, and he falls asleep as soon as he gets home. Oh, it turns out that married men really change. Now I look in the mirror and feel that I am getting older and older. I can't stop thinking about it. I want to divorce, but I endure it because of the children. If you pity me, please vote for me!
