Chapter 156 Shocking News

What Qi Jingzhi took out from his pocket was naturally the badge of a police officer. Relying on this official status, his journey was indeed as Liu Muzhi said, which was quite convenient when he needed to win the trust of others.

Only this time, the reaction of the gatekeepers when they saw the waist badge was extremely abnormal. Not only did they not show any intention of relaxing their vigilance, but there was something complicated and difficult to understand in their eyes.

There is confusion, shock and bewilderment, as well as fear, resentment and even unabashed hostility.

For a moment, no one paid attention to Ban Nu and Zhu Niu. Instead, all the soldiers looked at the young swordsman who claimed to be the police officer of the Demon Suppressing Academy. The atmosphere at the gate of the city became extremely subtle because of this.

It was even more deadly than when three people and two cavalry arrived.

Captain Gu first stared at the badge several times, then took a few steps back, raised his head and glared at Qi Jingzhi fiercely, and asked in a deep voice: "Are you here for the Tengu?"

Qi Jingzhi was keenly aware that after hearing his captain's questions, many of the soldiers were breathing heavily, their muscles were tense, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the knife were exposed.

Wei Bao also saw something was wrong and quickly asked: "Commander Gu, what happened in the city? Is the dog flying in the sky last night really a tengu?"

Gu Duizheng ignored him, but stared at the young swordsman on Bannu's back for a moment.

Qi Jingzhi was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head, and softly uttered two words: "Private matter."

Hearing these two light words, Captain Gu and the soldiers behind him all looked slightly relaxed. Although their faces were still sullen, the previous tense situation had obviously eased.

"Since it's a private matter, and the Wei family is your guarantee, let's go over there. Brothers still have official duties, so I won't accompany you!"

As he said that, Captain Gu, who had a straight face, slowly stood aside, and several more soldiers stepped forward and moved the horse away.

When the two sides passed each other, the leader of the fifty soldiers said suddenly: "We all live in the county. If anyone dares to do anything harmful to nature, the eyes of the brothers will recognize it."

I don’t recognize the waist badge and the steel knife in my hand!”

These words were so baffling that even Wei Bao, who was most familiar with people and places, couldn't figure it out. Just by looking at Captain Gu's cold expression, he knew that he couldn't get anything out of his mouth.

Fortunately, the name of the Demon Suppressing Academy and the reputation of the Golden Sword Wei family are still useful. Although these elite soldiers belonging to the Jiuzhen County Dutong Mansion were obviously hostile to Qi Jingzhi, they were still reluctantly let go in the end.

There was no real conflict.

When the three of them entered the city, they saw a desolate scene. All the shops had their doors closed, and there were not even half a dozen people on the street who got up early to make a living.

Other than that, the city is quite peaceful. There is no horrific scene like the city gate with shattered door panels and burning fire. It seems that last night the dog was wiped out and the old Taoist chased after them. In addition to destroying one city gate,

It didn't cause any more damage.

The three of them felt slightly relieved, immediately discussed a few words, and went their separate ways.

Geshu Dashi is the bearded slave of Anfenghou's house. Although he is certainly very different from ordinary slaves, it is still a bit out of the ordinary to stay out all night, so he naturally has to go back at this time.

Wei Bao originally wanted to show Qi Jingzhi the way and then go home to check, but seeing that he was restless, Qi Jingzhi immediately shook his head and just asked him about several places including the Demon-Suppressing Captain's official residence and the Wei family's residence.

According to the directions, they made an appointment to meet in the backyard of Baiyun Palace at night.

After watching the two of them leave, Qi Jingzhi reached out and patted Bannu's neck.

It must have been the first time for this guy to face so many soldiers holding steel swords. It was also the first time to enter such a big city with such arrogance. Besides being excited, he was also a little scared.

After calming down his mount, Qi Jingzhi went to the first place of his trip - the Chenghuang Temple in Jiuzhen County.

When he left Huaide County, Linzhou, he entrusted Liu Muzhi to deliver two letters to Songling County, one to his grandfather and one to Master Meng, and stated in the letter that he was coming to Jiuzhen, Liaozhou.

County affairs.

After that, Qi Jingzhi went to Chaozhou to attend Dragon Mother's birthday banquet. He was delayed for a while, and then transferred to Liaozhou. If my uncle and Master Meng had a reply, he should have arrived first.

The reason why we came to the Junchenghuang Temple instead of going to the county temple, which is on the same level as Yinsi in Songling County, is because there is only the Junchenghuang Temple in the county town of Daqi. At least that's what we saw on the way to Qi Jingzhi. I asked Wei Bao before.

Later I found out that Jiuzhen County was no exception.

It's interesting to say that in Daqi's county towns, there are county guards and Fuguo county magistrates who set up offices in the same city, and even the two levels of officials live next to each other, but there is usually only one city god.

After all, the city god is called the god according to the city. In the county town, he is the county town god, and in the county town, he is the county town god. It is not like the human court official system. It is useless to have another underworld god under the county town god.

County God.

There are also exceptions. Often, a county town was upgraded to a county town by the court due to population growth and city expansion. The newly arrived county officials either directly changed the original county temple in the city to a county temple, or built another county temple.

, the county temple was abandoned.

In this way, if the original county town god fails to be promoted to the county town god, he will be temporarily enshrined in the county temple and have a taste of being under someone else's roof.

As for how long this situation of worshiping multiple city gods in one temple will last, it depends on when the emperor's edict to change the title and the official document from the Ministry of Rites to move the temple are delivered. If there happens to be no vacancies in other cities, then it will be

Some have endured.

Qi Jingzhi went all the way to the Chenghuang Temple in Jiuzhen County, knocked on the door of the temple, which was also closed, and explained the reason to the temple minister, and then received a letter. The sender's signature on the envelope was Meng Hui of Songling County.

The envelope was very thick, with a lot of paper stuffed inside. It was obviously a long letter.

Qi Jingzhi was horrified when he read the first page and could hardly believe his eyes.

Just because Master Meng said at the beginning that after receiving the letter from Songling County Government, he immediately set off for Shanqian Village in person, only to find that the Qijia courtyard had long been closed and locked, and the house was empty.

After asking about it, I found out that old man Qi had also left home for a long journey, and none of his neighbors knew his whereabouts.

Because the Taoist priest named Hu Jun and the two demon boys had not yet been arrested, Master Meng immediately became suspicious and went into the hospital without hesitation to check. Later, he found a letter from Old Man Qi in the hall, and also

Attached to the letter.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi became more and more surprised and confused. He quickly turned back a few pages and saw a handwriting style that was completely different from that of Master Meng.

Each stroke is crooked, but it penetrates the back of the paper, and each word is written in a very large size. There is not much content that can be accommodated on one piece of paper, so it has to be divided into many pages to write.

Qi Jingzhi knew that his grandfather could read a few words, but he had never seen him write with a pen, so he could not tell the authenticity of the letter from the handwriting. However, both the tone of the writer and the things mentioned in the letter were different.

Let him be sure that this long letter with few words was written by his grandfather.

In this letter, Old Man Qi even specifically mentioned the sumptuous lunch that he had prepared for Qi Jingzhi, including a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of fried bacon with garlic sprouts, a plate of fried small fish, and a pot of stewed pheasant with wild mushrooms.

Seeing these four dishes, Qi Jingzhi immediately remembered that rather special day.

Before that day, he had just killed Chen Er, and on that day he witnessed the tall and powerful Lu Ao being taken away by Dong Mao, learned that Master Meng was the God of the Underworld, and obtained the "

The fragments of the Immortal Feather Sutra!
