After being driven away by Liu Qing, no one dared to come and disturb him, including the three monks from the Zhenfu Division.
They were very self-aware and knew that they were no match for Liu Qing, so they simply stayed away.
At the same time, report the news and let more senior monks handle the matter.
It is possible to fight, but it is not allowed to conceal or fail to report, otherwise it will be a serious dereliction of duty.
The analysis of Liu Qing's identity has now come to fruition.
There is too much evidence to show that she is most likely the ghost king in the ghost village outside the city, and she once made a large number of monks avoid her.
The ghost village outside the city was destroyed, and the ghost king appeared in the city. Everything seemed to be natural.
But for the monks of the Zhenfu Division, this is simply a bolt from the blue, and it can be called a major and dangerous incident.
A powerful ghost king is actually hiding in the city. This is a shocking thing in itself.
It's like a super bomb placed on top of a stove that can be ignited and explode at any time.
If Liu Qing is angered, all residents in the city can die overnight.
The more dangerous the situation, the more cautious you must be.
The most puzzling thing is, why is such a powerful ghost king dressed as a servant?
Who is she working as a servant for? Is it the young boss with a smile on his face who looks harmless?
But no matter how you look at it, you can see that the other person is an ordinary mortal and not threatening at all.
Coupled with the sound of forging all day long, the mystery of the blacksmith shop becomes even more intense. In the eyes of some special people, it is completely like a ghost cave hidden in the city.
In the city lord's mansion.
The three Zhenfu monks gathered together, waiting for a reply from the headquarters, with slightly anxious expressions.
The news has been reported for several days, and it is still marked as a disaster level. Why has there been no news yet?
The three Zhenfu monks were anxious and angry, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and wait silently.
At this time, ripples suddenly appeared on a jade mirror in the hall.
"There's news!"
The three monks jumped up and gathered in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, waiting for the information from the headquarters.
The ripples on the mirror disappeared, and a cold-faced man wearing a high crown appeared inside the mirror.
"Meet the Hall Master!"
After seeing the man in the mirror, the three monks were slightly startled. They did not expect that he was their immediate superior.
But then I thought about it, what they reported was disaster-level information, and it was reasonable for their immediate superiors to come forward for questioning and review.
"I saw the information you reported. It's really surprising. How could a ghost king appear in the city or be working as a slave?"
The cold-faced man was the first to ask a question, but the three Zhenfu monks also wanted to know his question.
"Sorry, Hall Master, we are not very clear.
However, during this period of time, we investigated the owner of the blacksmith shop. His name was Ronald, and his ID showed that he was from Wu'an City.
We contacted the Wu'an Chengcheng branch to obtain household registration information to prove that such a person does exist and his whereabouts are unknown."
Hearing this, the cold-faced hall master shook his head and denied his subordinate's words: "Household registration doesn't mean anything. Many demons can disguise themselves as humans and cannot be detected without special means.
The owner of that blacksmith shop is either a demon more powerful than the Ghost King, or he is a puppet or subordinate."
After hearing the hall master's words, the three monks looked at each other, obviously a little unsure.
"We asked about the shop owner, and it was said that something happened to him when he bought this blacksmith shop.
The blacksmith shop was originally leased to a blacksmith. After the blacksmith was poisoned to death, there were rumors that it was haunted.
It is for this reason that the house cannot be rented out and everyone is afraid to avoid it.
The tooth dealer who was responsible for selling the house sold the house to the shop owner even though he knew it was haunted.
It is said that when signing the contract, the shop owner once told the tooth dealer that if you meet a beggar on the road and give alms, don't go home early.
As a result, the tooth merchant came home early, discovered his wife's adultery, and was reported by the beggar who had humiliated him after the murder. Now he has died after swallowing poisonous wine."
After hearing what the three monks said, the hall master nodded. Although this incident could not explain anything, he still had to be vigilant.
Who knows if this is a coincidence or a deliberate revenge by the shop owner?
"This matter has exceeded your capabilities. The headquarters has decided to send reinforcements to deal with this matter.
The mission of the three of you is to provide assistance, and you must not act rashly!"
The three monks nodded at the same time. They were very self-aware and would not dare to violate the rules and disobey orders.
When the call was about to end, a monk couldn't help but ask: Master, can I ask why you took so long to reply to the message?"
Hearing his subordinates' questions, the hall master's expression became colder and he scolded in a low voice: "You shouldn't know things that you shouldn't know, so don't ask any more questions. Do you still want me to tell you the rules?"
"Yes, I know my mistake."
The monk apologized quickly and secretly muttered in his heart that this matter was originally a problem of the headquarters.
He didn't dare to argue. After all, the official rank was overwhelming. If he encountered an unreasonable boss, he would have to endure his cowardice.
Seeing the unconvinced look of his subordinates, the hall master shook his head secretly, knowing that this matter was at fault of the headquarters.
If you don't explain it, it will definitely make your subordinates feel resentful, which will lead to them not being able to do their best work.
After a few breaths of silence, the hall master said in a calm tone: "The failure to reply to the message in time involves a major matter. Ordinarily, you should not be informed of this matter.
But since you mentioned it, this matter will be announced sooner or later, so it doesn’t matter if you know it in advance.
Not long ago, various major sects discovered a special world. Because the objects in it were extremely huge, they called it the Ancient God Continent.
There were countless treasures there, and all the major sects competed to snatch them, and all gained rich harvests.
A strange temple was discovered among the ruins of a giant city, and a war between gods ensued.
The gods' methods were so terrifying that three-quarters of the monks were affected and died, and only a quarter managed to escape.
This is definitely a catastrophe, causing all major sects to suffer a serious blow, and it may take a long time for them to recover.
Unexpectedly, the evil heretics took advantage of the situation and began to attack some seriously damaged sects, trying to snatch the treasures from the Ancient God Continent.
In a short period of time, many sects were attacked, causing the entire practice world to be in chaos.
After investigation, we discovered that the evil heretics had been gathered together by mysterious forces for unknown reasons.
They seemed to be going crazy. While attacking all the major sects, even ordinary people would not be spared.
It happened that at this time, another big event happened, which made the already chaotic situation worse.
It turns out that the ascended ancestors of the eight major sects suddenly issued decrees, claiming that a catastrophe was about to come and that they needed to be extremely vigilant.
It is for this reason that there is a delay in replying to the message.
You must know that in the current practice world, disaster-level incidents are constantly occurring and cannot be dealt with at all."
After listening to the hall master's explanation, the three monks were stunned. They didn't expect that in the short time they left, the practice world would become such a mess!
