Chapter 123 The Afterglow of the Sunset
Outside Dongyang Town.
On the official road, Zhou Dao supported Wang Xuanzhi. Although he took [Turtle Essence Pill], his injuries gradually recovered, but after all, the consumption was too great, and he had been running all the way just now.
Wang Xuanzhi's body is still a little weak.
"Old Wang, can you think of a way to get us both to Pingjiang City later?" Zhou Dao asked.
Ping'an Town is too small, there are not many monsters, almost all of them are medium to low evil level, which can no longer satisfy Zhou Dao.
If he wants to exceed Li Zangfeng's expectations within half a year, and even make a sensation at the King Yuan Dharma Assembly, becoming unparalleled in the world, he must sacrifice more and stronger monsters.
Pingjiang City is a good place to go.
Zhou Dao didn't have any ambitions. He continued to enter the Demon Condensing Room and was satisfied with becoming a Demon Sealing Master.
Although his monthly salary is low, he doesn't care about it. He is all dedicated to the cause of slaying demons!
When Wang Xuanzhi heard this, he was filled with doubts.
Logically speaking, as a disciple of Li Zangfeng, it would be easy for him to enter the headquarters of the Demon Control Division with just one word.
You know, that is one of the [Nine Divine Pillars]. Once he enters the headquarters, Zhou Dao's treatment will definitely not be bad, at least above the [City Secretary], with thousands of eyes and the world's admiration, how many younger generations will think
Admire his style.
It really puzzled him to leave such a good shortcut without taking it.
Wang Xuanzhi had no idea that in Zhou Dao's heart, he only recognized the Sunset Sect.
If this was not the old man's arrangement, and if participating in the Yuan Wang Dharma Assembly required such an important status, he would not have become a disciple of Li Zangfeng.
Because of this, Zhou Dao wants to go to that stage in his own way, as the Sunset Sect.
Li Zangfeng naturally saw Zhou Dao's thoughts and arrogance. Instead of being angry, he was quite appreciative, so he gave him half a year to see how far this young man, who was gentle on the surface but stubborn and arrogant in his heart, could go.
Which step.
Li Zangfeng could afford to wait for half a year.
"This...actually, each town has a quota for promotion to the city every year." Wang Xuanzhi thought for a moment.
Lu Xianyang was promoted from the younger generation and was considered a special case.
In addition, according to the usual practice, the best candidates will be promoted from the town chiefs every year. The promoted town chiefs can choose two capable subordinates to join the city.
"Last time I heard that Lao Li from Dongyang Town has been selected...but now..."
Wang Xuanzhi shook his head.
The whole army in Dongyang Town was wiped out, so he obviously didn't have the qualifications. The most he could do was to pursue his title and send him to the Hall of Heroes.
"Does our town have a chance?" Zhou Dao asked with joy in his heart.
"This..." Wang Xuanzhi looked confused.
Since this year, Ping'an Town has been really uneasy. Monsters have appeared one after another. Even the Monster Control Department has been dismantled. There have also been traitors like Xu Qian who colluded with monsters...
Even the second son of Pingjiang Yuanmen, Yuan Shaobai, stayed in Ping'an Town permanently!
As the inspector, Yuan Shaoqing also made a lot of troubles in Ping'an Town. After returning, he demoted Ping'an Town to be worthless.
As far as this kind of political achievement is concerned, not being removed from office can be regarded as a sign of ancestral merit.
"..."
"Let's think of another way!" Zhou Dao's mind was spinning.
Mr. Yuan does have a lot of connections. He has been operating in the black market for many years, and his network of connections extends throughout Pingjiang City and even Lin'an Prefecture.
Before, he had suggested many times that Zhou Dao could be sent to Pingjiang City to find a future for him.
In addition... you can also ask Lin Liuli.
Considering the Lin family's prominent position in Pingjiang City, it was just a matter of words.
But... forget it, Zhou Dao doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
On the official road, a group of people approached, it was Lu Xianyang and others.
"Zhou Dao?" Gu Xiangling was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Dao here.
"He came to look for me, and we happened to meet him." Wang Xuanzhi said casually.
They had an accident, and Ping'an Town had already received the news, so they would naturally send people to search.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Hearing this, Gu Xiangling nodded, but his eyes were always on Zhou Dao, with suspicion in his heart.
"Everyone, please come and follow me into the city. This case requires your testimony." Li Mu said.
As a guard, he knew the importance of this case. Now that Wang Xuanzhi and others were the only survivors, of course they had to take it back and ask for details.
"You can come too..." Wang Xuanzhi turned around and said, before taking Zhou Dao with him.
"Pingjiang City?" Zhou Dao was vaguely looking forward to it.
This is the first time for him to leave Ping'an Town and enter the city.
When he was a child, Zhou Dao often pestered the old man and told him about things in the city.
The old man said that Pingjiang City was just a larger bird cage and not interesting.
Those who practice Taoism, it is best not to fall into this rolling world of mortals, as it will be of no use to your practice.
Of course, an accomplished person like him is an exception.
Uncle Qin said that there is a shop in Pingjiang City called [Wanwufang], which has all kinds of books, well, you can read whatever you want, but most people can't find it.
Wang Xiaoyi said that the Wanhua Tower in Pingjiang City is a masterpiece. As a man, it is a place that you must visit in your life.
Once you go there, you will know what it means to be a man.
…
During the correspondence between Zhou Dao and Lin Liuli, he also heard this girl mention many interesting stories about Pingjiang City.
This time, he wanted to see it for himself.
"Would you like to meet me?" Zhou Dao was thinking in his mind.
Everyone followed the car and drove slowly towards Pingjiang City.
"The commander is not dead?"
"His heart is crooked and on the right side, escaping the critical point...but he is not out of danger yet."
"Has Wang Zhensi seen that mysterious master? Where is the body of the human being?"
…
On the road, everyone was talking and enjoying the relaxation of the rest of their lives.
In the evening, the speed of the motorcade slowed down, and a magnificent city appeared in sight.
Looking from a distance, a pair of black crystal pillars stand on both sides of the towering city gate, with complex and strange runes engraved around them.
"Is this the Demon Locking Pillar?" Zhou Dao murmured softly.
He has long heard that in any big city, there must be a demon-locking pillar outside the door to prevent monsters from easily entering the city.
Zhou Dao once heard Uncle Qin mention that the Demon Locking Pillar was made from the bones of an ancient monster, which was quite mysterious.
"This baby can only resist some ordinary monsters." Lu Xianyang said with a smile.
He was quite friendly towards others, and when he saw Zhou Dao was entranced, he started to explain.
Monsters with high strength have a tacit understanding with humans and generally will not invade human cities easily.
It is not easy for them to practice cultivation, so naturally they will not seek death for no reason.
The Demon Locking Pillar protects against evil beasts that have not been transformed into demons for a long time and do not know the heights of the world.
Like before, the tragedy of Wang Yuanwai being possessed by a weasel would never happen in Pingjiang City.
Even so, every big city needs nine [Demon Locking Pillars] like this, one at the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and one more in the center of the city. The cost is really high.
"Department of Demon Control, release!" A majestic voice sounded.
Everyone entered the city directly, Zhou Dao raised his head, and the majestic ancient city wall was in front of him.
There are mottled marks of vicissitudes of life on it, as well as ancient carvings.
There are Taoist priests sitting in the mountains practicing cultivation, there are strong men wielding swords to subjugate demons, and there are also great demons who enter the world...
"That is……"
Zhou Dao's eyes narrowed slightly and he saw that the top portrait was a mountain towering into the clouds.
There, a great sun sank and set.
