When the middle-aged man with a fair face and no beard saw the jade bottle wrapped in densely packed talismans in Xue Cheng's hand, there was a slight smile on his face.
There are many reports of witchcraft and other such things every year. After all, these are the key targets of crackdown by the higher-ups. Once it is confirmed to be real witchcraft, the reporter can receive a very generous reward.
Therefore, all kinds of suspected witchcraft cases will be reported. Among the hundreds of cases reported each year, ninety-nine are basically false, and similar suspected cases are mostly small-scale and insignificant things.
After tearing off the talisman layer by layer, opening the bottle and taking a look inside, the smile on the face of the middle-aged man with a white face and no beard instantly disappeared, and his expression suddenly became serious.
He quickly sealed the bottle mouth and tied a red rope around it twice. He turned his head to look at Xue Cheng, who still looked a little nervous, and forced a signature smile on his face, but it looked a little stiff.
"This...this centurion..."
"I am Xue Cheng, a captain of the Jinyiwei Guard station in the Zhennan Division, Jiujiang County, Jiangnan West Road."
Xue Cheng clasped his fists and bowed, then reported all the relevant job titles.
He had already recognized the person's identity and knew in his heart that he was from the East Factory.
Only people from the East Factory would have fair complexions, no beards, and a shrill voice.
In name, the East Factory and the Imperial Guard belonged to the same level of institutions, but in reality, the appointment of the commander of the Imperial Guard had to be written by the eunuch in charge of the East Factory.
Therefore, in many cases, the Jinyiwei were restricted by the Dongchang.
Of course, the current commander of the Jinyiwei is not subject to this restriction, but the other Jinyiwei still have to look at the face of the Dongchang.
"Where did this thing come from?"
"This morning..."
Xue Cheng carefully described what happened this morning. He was quite detailed and did not add any exaggeration. He just described the facts clearly.
The eunuch from the Eastern Depot didn't seem impatient and was listening attentively.
Occasionally, he would interrupt and ask about the specifics of the situation. Of course, the Iron-Masked Man never appeared in any of these. After getting a general idea, the East Factory eunuch suddenly asked, "Does Captain Xue have any suspects?"
Xue Cheng paused and said, "It might be related to the Jianyi underground demon incident and the recently arrested gangster master Blood Knife..."
"Could you please elaborate?"
The eunuch from the East Factory was very kind and explained to Xue Cheng in a gentle manner the type of poisonous insect in his hand.
"This is a mind-controlling Gu. Once swallowed, it will control the person's mind. Once the person controlling it takes action, the person being controlled will be completely unable to resist. Their entire thoughts will be controlled by it, like a walking puppet. Therefore, it is also known as the puppet Gu."
Xue Cheng listened and couldn't help but shudder. He was both respectful and fearful of the poisonous insect in the bottle.
"Captain Xue was able to force the other party to use such a poisonous insect. I think he has forced the other party into a desperate situation, so he resorted to this desperate measure. From this perspective, Captain Xue's talents are truly brilliant."
"I wouldn't dare! Thanks to the help of my colleagues and subordinates, and thanks to Daxia's cultivation."
…
"Tanghulu, tanghulu, sour and sweet tanghulu, appetizing and spleen-strengthening, a string for only five cents."
"The best white radish is big and juicy. Eating radish in winter and ginger in summer is better than chicken soup with ginseng."
"Big crucian carp, freshly caught big crucian carp, used to make soup, white and rich."
Walking in the vegetable market of Jiujiang County, Zhang Mingtu suddenly felt the rolling atmosphere of the world.
The whole person was refreshed and felt a little more energetic.
The Book of Life and Death peeping into the future puts a great deal of pressure on Zhang Mingtu's soul, so he needs to feel more of the mundane world and absorb more of the fireworks of the world.
Therefore, Zhang Mingtu specially came to the vegetable market to stroll around, see the various aspects of life, and taste the various flavors of the world, so that he could gain more popularity.
Although his strength became stronger and stronger after practicing, and he became less and less human, Zhang Mingtu did not feel that he was different from ordinary people. He did not feel that he needed to be superior, nor did he feel that he needed to really draw a clear line between himself and these people.
Then he wouldn't be himself.
Walking in this bustling vegetable market, Zhang Mingtu felt a sense of relief.
People were coming and going on the street. Zhang Mingtu even saw a knight dressed as a martial arts knight, with a long sword on his back and a conical hat on his head. He was holding a fish in his left hand and a bundle of vegetables in his right hand.
He walked forward swayingly, and his back looked like a chivalrous knight, aloof and cold, with the bearing of a martial arts master.
Walking to the front, you can see a fish in his left hand and a bundle of vegetables in his right hand, which makes people laugh. The world of rivers and lakes and the human world are perfectly integrated together.
Such a strange outfit made Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but look at him twice.
At this moment, Zhang Mingtu felt a little relaxed.
Suddenly I felt that this state was much better than before.
Walking in the vegetable market and watching the crowds of people coming and going, Zhang Mingtu felt relaxed and a little lonely.
"Am I really doing the right thing? Can I really fight against everything on my own? Do I need to unite more people?"
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhang Mingtu was still a little confused about the future.
But looking at the simply dressed man from the martial arts world, he felt more confident.
"Martial arts practitioners all believe that they are superior and different from ordinary people, but not everyone holds such thoughts. I just want to pursue my goals and let those who share the same ideals walk the same path with me."
