Chapter 9 The Swordsman
This is a square paved with large rocks.
The rocks are very rough, and there are traces of dark red color on them, as if they have been soaked in blood for a long time.
The Sword Prison is under this square.
The person the witch asked him to inquire about was imprisoned there.
It's just that he has been here several times and still doesn't know where the entrance to the Sword Prison opens.
Of course, he didn't want to inquire.
Jiang Zhou and hundreds of sword bearers also wearing black coarse cloth lined up neatly in several rows.
In each column, there is a demon patrol guard holding a booklet in his hand, nodding his head one by one.
Soon, a patrolling demon guard said loudly: "Everyone is here. Let's read out the mission. Everyone whose name is called will come forward and receive the demon-slaying knife."
"There is a malaria ghost raging in Guowang Village. One hundred and thirty-two households in the village are infected with malaria. The characters A are eleven and thirteen... A total of ten people holding swords followed Chen Dali, the demon guard on patrol, to Guowang Village to kill them.
Malaria ghost..."
"There is an evil spirit in Liujiazhuang that deceives people, gathers people to build evil temples, robs the children and girls of secret traffickers, and worships them, steals incense, fire and blood food, the number A is 36, 41... There are a total of 20 people holding swords, and 10 patrolling demon guards follow to eliminate the demons.
Colonel Miao Renfeng, the captain of the school, went to Liujiazhuang to destroy the evil temple..."
"There was a wealthy businesswoman in Tongji Fang in the city who married six husbands in a row. All six husbands died, and their bodies were all cut open and skinned. The death was in terrible circumstances. It was suspected that it was caused by demons, but there was no real evidence. There were two people in total.
Hold the knife and report to the Yamen of the Criminal Division to assist in the investigation..."
The person holding the knife has no name. Even if there was one originally, it will be gone when we get here. The number is their name.
The knife-holders who were pointed out all stepped forward one by one and came to the center of the square, in front of a huge rock like a hill.
This rock is red and dark in color, wrapped with huge iron locks, and covered with blood-red ghost-headed knives.
The demon-slaying knife is made from demon blood and evil spirits, and is specially designed to kill demons, demons and gods.
Even an ordinary person, with a demon-slaying knife in his hand, can kill high-grade demons with his hands.
Ten people holding swords can kill three levels.
Hundreds of people holding swords can kill three levels.
Of course, this is under the premise that it can be cut.
As for the upper third level, it cannot be dealt with by just relying on the demon-slaying sword.
The Sujing Division can frighten the demons and gods in the world, and the demon-slaying sword is an extremely important factor.
It's just that this demon-slaying sword is full of blood evil, and ordinary people with weak bones will be seriously ill and die violently in less than three or two days if they are infected.
This huge stone is said to be used to suppress the blood evil of many demon-slaying swords. The masonry on the ground is also corroded by the blood evil, which is why the dark red color appears.
This shows how terrifying this blood evil is.
Sujingsi has a kind of anti-evil pill, which is used by the sword holder to suppress the blood evil.
This is also the reason why there are often many vacancies in the sword holder's number, because a large number of people die every day.
It is extremely difficult to refine the demon-slaying sword. Even if Wu County is the capital of Nanzhou and Wu County's Sujing Division oversees the various branches of Sujing Division in Nanzhou, there are still less than a thousand of them.
Everyone must receive the mission and register before they can receive the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Su Jingsi was not afraid that the sword holder would take the demon-slaying sword and run away.
There is some kind of restriction on the sword, and Su Jingsi can take it back at any time.
Moreover, the laws of the Daji Dynasty were strict, and there were monsters and monsters everywhere outside the city. Where could they go?
Furthermore, ordinary people who have touched the demon-slaying knife must take evil-repelling pills every day, otherwise they will not live long.
It is better to live than to die, no one is stupid.
Jiang Zhou once heard a knife holder in his roommate say: If you pick up a knife, you won't be able to put it down.
Soon, most of the hundreds of sword holders were assigned tasks, and only then did Jiang Zhou hear his number.
"Ti Xing Si came to report that there were wealthy households in the city who lost their gold and silver property one after another, and members of their families were also lost. Their lives and deaths were unknown, and they were suspected of being caused by demons. There was no real evidence. There was a sign of "Ding 51", and a man was holding a knife. He went to report to the Ti Xing Si Yamen.
, to assist in the investigation.”
Sure enough, I clicked on him.
When Jiang Zhou heard the content of the mission, he was secretly relieved, but also a little disappointed.
The more knife-wielders needed, the more dangerous the task is and the more terrifying the monsters to be dealt with.
Just like the demon ghost before, not only did Wu County Sujing Division's patrol demon guards come out almost in full force, but they also used Sujing Division's other trump card, the hundred-man demon-locking formation.
Of course it's because the ghost has reached the seventh level and has powerful illusions, making it difficult to catch.
At the same time, it was also because this demon was so rampant that it made Wujun so angry that almost everyone came out.
It was only his first time to hold a sword, and he was only assisting other yamen, so there was a high probability that he would not encounter monsters.
This is the task that the swordsman most wants to be assigned.
There is no way to hide with a knife, so Jiang Zhou hopes to encounter the demon.
The more monsters he kills, the stronger and safer he becomes.
The more likely it is to get rid of the identity of the knife holder, who has completely lost his freedom and is even precarious.
He's not afraid that the witch will come to him and cause trouble!
Jiang Zhou came to the dark red boulder and registered to receive a demon-slaying knife.
When the dragon's caw entered his heart, his strength increased greatly, and he only felt a slight sinking in his hand.
Moreover, all evil spirits can be easily warded off, and even the blood evil spirits on the sword cannot harm him.
There was no longer any stinging pain like when he killed the sprite before. Instead, there seemed to be a ball of warmth wrapping around his palm.
…
Jiang Zhou entered Wu County and this was the first time he left Sujingsi.
The man who held the sword said at best that he was an official, but at worst he was no different than a slave.
Because they carry demon-slaying knives on their backs and are stained with blood evil, they can easily cause trouble if they run around at will.
Therefore, although he felt that everything was novel, he did not dare to delay for a moment.
Go straight to the Criminal Division.
Three thousand years ago, the Great Ji Dynasty was established, and the Holy Ancestor Emperor Ji established the Six Divisions to dominate the world's immortals, ghosts, gods and demons, and suppress the world.
The Criminal Division and the Sujing Division are both listed among them.
Sujingsi suppresses the demons and gods in the world.
The Secretary of Punishment raises the number of criminals and jails in the world to arrest murderers and thieves.
To put it simply, the two actually have similar functions, but the former manages non-human beings, while the latter manages living humans.
Arriving at the Tixingsi Yamen, Jiang Zhou was about to report to the Yamen in front of the door.
I saw several policemen in armored clothes walking out of the office. Among them, a young man with a round face saw Jiang Zhou, or to be precise, he saw the ghost-headed demon-slaying knife carried on his back.
He paused in his steps and frowned slightly.
Then he came up to him and said, "Are you the sword bearer sent by Sujing Division?"
The tone was not very polite, but it was common sense.
Although the police officer in prison clothes is the lowest position in the Criminal Division, he is still an official.
The same level as the Demon Patrol Guards of Sujing Division.
As for the person holding the sword, he is not even a citizen, he is a lowly servant.
Jiang Zhou had been living as a refugee for the rest of his life. During these seven days, he had seen the cruelty of Sujingsi, and he had long recognized the reality.
His expression remained unchanged, he cupped his fists and saluted in a decent manner and said: "Exactly."
"I am applying for the Monster Patrol Association to investigate and handle the case. What's the use of sending a sword holder here?"
The round-faced detective muttered in a low voice.
Colleagues on the side joked: "Just be satisfied. Demonic disasters have happened frequently recently, and Su Jingsi is very popular. Being able to send someone here is already giving our leader face."
"That's right, maybe they are afraid that you won't be able to defeat the demon?"
"go!"
The round-faced detective spat angrily, and then said to Jiang Zhou: "That's all, I'm going to the suspect's house to check. They're already here, so just follow."
After saying this, he said goodbye to his colleagues. He didn't even bother to exchange names with Jiang Zhou, so he swayed away with his sword in his hand.
