Chapter 1214: County Magistrate
The letter written by Man Gu was very long, and it quoted various allusions that should not have been quoted, and added unnecessary "zhihuzheya" at the end of the sentences.
Leaving aside these useless contents, Lu Yang condensed them and the general meaning was - the haunted town cannot be solved, senior brother, help me.
Lu Yang found it quite unbelievable. How could Man Gu, a great master in the Nascent Soul stage, not even be able to solve a ghost problem... Oh, you are in the Nascent Soul stage? That really couldn't be solved.
"Old Meng, Junior Brother Man sent me a letter saying that there is a ghost over there." Lu Yang took the letter and went to find the ghost killer.
Ten days had passed since Meng Jingzhou was bombed, and he had just come out of seclusion after consolidating his realm.
"You received it too?"
Meng Jingzhou also had a letter from Man Gu in his hand.
When the two compared the dates of the letters, they understood what had happened. Man Gu sent a letter to Meng Jingzhou first, but Meng Jingzhou was in seclusion at that time, so he sent a letter to Lu Yang.
But seeing that Man Gu is still thinking carefully about the words in the letter, it shouldn't be a matter of urgency.
"What do you think?" Meng Jingzhou asked.
Lu Yang showed an unfathomable smile. He liked to smile like this since he entered the Tribulation Crossing Stage. "When you are too quiet, you will want to move. It's time to go out for a walk."
“That’s right.”
"Senior Ma..."
Originally Lu Yang wanted to call Lao Ma, but he didn't see him after looking around.
"Uncle Ma has gone back to his hometown in the East China Sea to practice seclusion and breakthrough." Meng Jingzhou said, "It looks like he is about to advance to the Tribulation Crossing Stage."
"Congratulations." Lu Yang said with a smile. Although Senior Ma did not play a big role as Lao Meng's protector, he worked very hard.
Go back and give gifts to the Longma clan to celebrate Senior Ma’s breakthrough.
Meng Jingzhou was also very happy when Old Ma made a breakthrough: "Uncle Ma has made a breakthrough to the Tribulation Stage, but Dad is still stuck in the Fusion Stage. If Dad had run away from home with me, he would have already reached the Tribulation Stage!"
"…would you like to listen to what you are saying?"
Sometimes, Lao Meng’s thinking is so active that Lu Yang feels that his thinking is too rigid.
"It's okay if Senior Ma isn't here. You're already in the Tribulation Crossing Stage anyway."
"That's right, with someone like you in the Tribulation Crossing Stage here, what do we have to be afraid of?"
The two of them praised each other generously.
The two laughed and decided to set off now.
Considering that both of them had been in newspapers, and even had an entire page filled with their portraits, they had to disguise themselves before going out.
The county seat managed by Man Gu was Quyi County, Zhongshan County, Huangzhou, Daxia.
The two of them drove at lightning speed and arrived directly at Quyi County.
On the way, I accidentally came across the opening of the ruins of an ancient battlefield. It is said that this is an ancient battlefield left over from the period of world hegemony at the end of the Daqian period. Although their souls have long disappeared, their indomitable will is still there. There are countless opportunities scattered in the ancient battlefield. Only by showing noble character and excellent talent can one gain recognition from the indomitable will and become the owner of the ancient battlefield ruins.
The two of them entered the ruins of an ancient battlefield, took out the photo ball and played the video of the Prison Peak, telling the Unyielding Will that no matter whether they were Daqian monks or Dayu monks, they should be honest and stop fighting all day long. Siming and Guan Shanhai were both imprisoned in the Prison Peak.
The unyielding will soon succumbed to the two men, who conquered the ancient battlefield ruins and donated them to the Great Xia court. They proposed that all Jindan-stage cultivators under the age of 22 could come to the ancient battlefield ruins for training.
The two also obtained a fragment of an immortal weapon from the ruins of an ancient battlefield. According to the Indomitable Will, the origin of this item is unknown, but it contains the meaning of yin and yang, and is very helpful for practicing the way of yin and yang. It once caused a fight among the semi-immortals.
According to the Immortal Fairy's identification, this is confirmed to be a record of the Nine-Layered Fairy observing the mating of the Golden Crow and the Jade Rabbit.
Both of them wanted to see the records of Jiuchongxian, but during the argument they accidentally fell into the ravine below and had to give up.
The child of a mountain hunter was hunting in the mountains. He was a famous archer in the local area. He shot a rabbit with one arrow.
Following the direction of the arrow feather, we found a well-made fragment with unknown patterns carved on it next to the rabbit.
"What's this?"
He picked up the rabbit and the fragments at the same time. The rabbit's blood accidentally splashed onto the fragments, causing the fragments to shine brightly, projecting a beam of light that sank into the child's brow.
The child read out the information contained in the fragment: "The first level of the Extreme Yin Cultivation Method?"
"There is also the Ji Yang Cultivation Method, why is there only the name but no content?"
"Could it be that this is a fragment, and we need to find other fragments to piece together a complete technique?"
"And this Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit visualization picture is covered by a layer of mist. Is it because I'm not a cultivator that I can't see it?"
Although the origin of the fragments is unknown, judging from the names of the exercises and the visualization diagrams, it is clear that this is not an ordinary thing.
"Look, I told you to grab it, but you lost it, didn't you?"
"It's like you didn't rob."
When they arrived in Quyi County, they were still thinking about what happened on the road. Of course, they were just looking for an opportunity to bicker.
After all, what was lost was not something very important. The Ji Yin practice method was of little use to the two of them. Only the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit visualization diagram was somewhat interesting.
"It looks like this place is well governed by Man Gu." The two walked along the street towards the yamen. It was daytime, and it was the time when the county magistrate was in charge of the yamen.
The roads are clean and tidy, children are playing and fighting, you can hear the sound of people reading, and you can see officials patrolling the streets.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
The two men arrived at the yamen and happened to encounter Man Gu being tried in court.
Man Gu was tall and looked somewhat out of place in his official uniform. What was more, his sleeves were rolled up, revealing his muscular arms.
Man Gu sat upright, slapped the table and shouted, "Let's go to court."
After he finished shouting, he remembered that he had forgotten to use the gavel to hit the table. Forget it, it makes no difference.
Two women were holding a child and crying.
Lu Yang stood in the crowd at the gate of the county government office and roughly understood what had happened.
One of the women said that her child was lost when she was young. Yesterday, she found a child from another family who looked very similar to her child, so she said that the child was hers. However, the other family disagreed and said that the child was their biological child.
The two of them kept arguing with each other and asked Mangu to make a decision.
The chief clerk whispered in Man Gu's ear: "Sir, you can order someone to beat the child. The harder the better. Whoever cares about the child will be the child's real mother."
Man Gu looked at the chief clerk with a strange look: "Will your method work? Not to mention that the child will be beaten, even if the child is not the biological child of that family, they have raised him for several years and will feel sorry for him."
"What does your Excellency mean?"
"Of course it's blood test."
"Ah? I heard that blood test for kinship is not very accurate."
“That’s pretty accurate.”
Man Gu asked the two women and the child to drop a drop of blood into a bowl respectively. He then used his magic power to make a drop of blood explode, presenting the information contained in the blood to everyone, while explaining.
"There are three hundred million small units in the blood, and the order of these small units is different. Only the order between blood relatives is the same."
"Three hundred million small units?" the chief clerk stuttered, "How do we compare this?"
"Of course I use my eyes." Man Gu said as a matter of course. He carefully observed the arrangement of small units and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Strange, why are the rankings of the three of you similar?"
"Oh, I see. You three are a family."
Man Gu pointed at a family and said, "Actually, you are already over fifty years old. You look young because you are a monk. Did you lose a daughter?"
The family nodded repeatedly.
Then Man Gu pointed at another woman and asked, "Were you picked up when you were a child?"
The woman nodded as well.
Man Gu pointed at the family and said, "That's right, she is your mother."
"In other words, you are the child's mother and she is the child's grandmother."
