He, Shimen caravan, and Li Qingge were temporarily separated in Tai'an City. The two families continued northward, while He Lingchuan followed the clues and left the caravan, traveling to Shuangyi City.
Before leaving, Li Qingge actually handed him a recipe.
The upgrade formula for the Golden Armored Bronze Guard is somewhat different from what He Lingchuan obtained in Panlong City.
Songyang Mansion is best at casting.
Apparently after hearing about He Lingchuan's deal with Fu Shanyue, she immediately understood what he needed.
This woman is truly amazing.
Now that He Lingchuan has received Fu Shanyue's reward, he has to find the whereabouts of the Lingxu City messenger for him - the clues obtained from Tai'an City point to this.
At this moment, a clanging bell sounded from ahead.
This sound seemed to have magical properties, and the residents who heard it put down their affairs and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
He Lingchuan even saw several shopkeepers abandoning their shops and trotting along with their necks stretched out.
"What's going on in front?" This scene seemed familiar.
The tiger demon Jiao Yu had long been accustomed to hearing this kind of sound. He licked his lips and said, "Execute the criminal."
Yes, He Lingchuan immediately remembered that when he first entered Baoshu Country, he also saw the scene of the execution of criminals. Men, women, old and young were all vying for the best viewing seats in the front row, and the town was as lively as the New Year.
It seems the same is true here.
He Lingchuan walked away with the crowd and saw a high platform set up at the entrance of the vegetable market. The audience was already crowded under the platform. On the platform, there were two police officers holding a prisoner awaiting execution while another read out the charges.
Although he arrived late, there were tigers around him who followed every step of the way, and the townspeople nearby, both demons and humans, all retreated ten feet away, and no one dared to approach.
The officials on the stage also saw it and stared at them closely but could not say anything.
When He Lingchuan heard this, he thought this crime was outrageous:
Stealing official medicine fields and killing the monsters guarding the fields?
The prisoner on the stage had a pockmarked face, a sharp mouth, a pinched cheek, and twinkling eyes. He looked like a blind social outcast. The most daring thing he could do was to tease the older girl and younger wife on the roadside.
This kind of person dares to kill official monsters?
Could it be that people really cannot be judged by their appearance?
He Lingchuan walked a few steps to the side and asked an old man who had his hands behind his back and craned his neck to watch the excitement: "Old man, is this prisoner from your town?"
"no."
He Lingchuan thought the clue had been lost, but the old man continued: "This is Baiyang from Baiyang Township. His surname is Wang. Everyone calls him Wang Mazi."
"Perch eel?"
"Oh, it's the local dialect here, which is called a libertine or a second-rate boy." The old man coughed and spat on the ground, "This kid is so courageous. He dares to harvest Guantian and kill Ling's family.
Demon?"
Mr. Ling? "What did he do before?"
"Sneaking around, just doing things that are worthless." The old man chuckled, "I'm almost thirty, and I heard that I can't even marry a wife." At this time, the officer on the stage pronounced the verdict after announcing the charges:
Chiseling.
In the Demon Country, stealing government land and mines and stealing military rations are all serious crimes. The local officials can deal with it by themselves without having to apply for approval step by step. It took a year and a half before the superiors sent someone down to review the files.
When Wang Mazi heard this, his legs went weak and he shouted:
"I was wronged, I was wronged!"
But what's the use? He was quickly tied to a pillar in the middle of the high platform.
The sound of flapping wings was heard in the sky above the market entrance. He Lingchuan looked up and saw hundreds of crows circling.
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded from the audience:
"Seven or eight members of my clan have disappeared without a trace, and the county government wants to get rid of us by blaming such a loser?"
He Lingchuan heard the sound and saw five or six giant sheep emerging from the crowd.
This is not a small goat with fragrant bones and tender meat that is raised by farmers in the back mountains, but a big guy as tall as a big horse, with a green body and only a black arc on the side. In particular, the leader of the giant goat is more than a foot tall and is completely invisible.
Well-proportioned muscle lines.
He Lingchuan knew at a glance that this thing was probably good at agility and speed, so its offensive weapon was the spiral-shaped long horns on its head. The pair of large horns stretched forward, and the tops were as sharp as daggers, with a small bifurcation in the middle.
It is used to bleed the opponent.
This is the first time He Lingchuan has seen such a ferocious-looking sheep. Anyone who is hit by such a monster will be unlucky for eight lifetimes.
"Medieval Strange Tales" records that this monster is called "Wind-Drilling Beast" and is good at committing crimes against the wind, no, killing people against the wind. Its talent is "Lingfeng", which can summon the wind to speed up the speed and reduce its own weight.
This thing is like a beast and can eat meat.
He Lingchuan remembered that the book said that the Wind-Drilling Beast had a very bad temper. Even ferocious beasts often died under its horns. Look at the leader of the giant sheep taking a few steps forward, with one side of his head on the high platform, and almost broke the pillar.
.
The officers and prisoners on the stage screamed together.
Not only was the official not angry, but he immediately laughed and said, "Why should Mr. Ling be angry? The county didn't say that the case would be closed."
"The case is not closed?" Ju Sheep's voice sounded angrily, "Is this what you said, or did the county magistrate say that?"
How could the official dare to take responsibility? He only said: "After this execution is carried out according to law, if the evidence is found, we will do it again!"
The giant sheep glared: "Then what if we can't find it?"
"Wherever, this will definitely be traced to the end!"
Even He Lingchuan couldn't bear to listen to such perfunctory words, let alone the wind drill beast? "The government's mouth is a liar! I have tolerated you for many days, now hand him over, I will take him back and torture him myself!"
"Ah this?" The officer was startled, "Mr. Ling, you are robbing a prisoner on death row. This is a serious crime!"
The Wind-Drilling Beast hit the pillar with its head again, obviously turning on the "I won't listen, I won't listen" mode.
With a click, the platform collapsed and dust flew up.
The surrounding crowd and other monsters dispersed, no one wanted to touch the bad luck of these giant sheep.
The officers and prisoners on the stage rolled down like gourds.
He Lingchuan stood far away and asked the old man next to him in a low voice: "Does the Wind-Drilling Beast also live here?"
"The large territory at the east end of the county belongs to their family." The old man knew the basics. "Master Ling served as a general in the court. When he was not fighting, he returned to his hometown to recuperate. The Wind-Drilling Beast clan is very loud here -
"
He lowered his voice: "They are a local tyrant, and the government is afraid of them. Even the largest and most valuable medicinal field in the county is left to them to take care of."
As soon as the officer got up, he kept coughing. The other beast, with its head lowered, headed towards the prisoner.
But instead of pushing the prisoner to death, it bit his hand rope and pulled him away.
The prey was robbed, and the crows screamed, unhappy.
At this time, people discovered that the crow circled in the sky several times without landing, because there was a black-headed and gray-backed goshawk parked on the roof next to the high platform.
Taking this opportunity, the prisoner shouted: "I'm so unjust. Several spiritual beasts disappeared on their own and have nothing to do with me! How can I kill them if I'm already lame?"
He limped when he walked, and it was true that his legs and feet were not flexible.
He Lingchuan had long learned to mind his own business, but when he heard the word "missing", his heart still moved.
He stepped forward and asked: "How did they disappear?"
Wang Mazi was afraid that outsiders would be numb and unresponsive, and he would perform a one-man show until death. Now there was feedback, and he was so excited that he felt like he had found a life-saving straw: "There is light on the mountainside, and they will disappear after chasing it! There must be more there."
Powerful monster!"
The Wind-Drilling Beast will drag him away if he doesn't allow him to quibble.
At this time, two crows couldn't bear their eagerness, landed down, stretched out their beaks, and pecked Pockmarked Wang's face.
They originally wanted to peck out the eyeballs, but unfortunately Wang Mazi turned left and right and refused to cooperate, so they only made two bloody holes in his face.
Only then did He Lingchuan understand that this was what "chilling" meant.
There are hundreds of crows in the sky, and if they all fall down, Wang Mazi will really be gouged to death.
The punishments of the Demon Kingdom are indeed very creative, and the punishment for this crime is not much different from being cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.
He pursed his lips and whistled, and the goshawk on the roof next to him changed from its leisurely watching mode and fluttered its wings and flew down.
As it passed the high platform, it frightened the two crows into flying back into the sky.
Then the goshawk stood on the big horn of He Lingchuan's mount, the blue sheep.
The officer who reacted shook the dust off his body, rushed over and shouted: "Master Ling, don't be confused, put down the prisoner!"
General Ling ignored the officer and let his subordinates take Pocket Pocket and turn away. Behind him, several wind-drilling beasts turned to face the officials, lowering their heads and digging in the soil, as if they were preparing to attack.
How dare the official come forward?
Just then, a tiger roar came from behind the crowd!
The shocking roar immediately calmed the chaotic scene,
The old man next to He Lingchuan covered his chest and was almost knocked to the ground.
Then the tiger jumped out and took two steps before speaking: "I am a general from Baishan, and I have been ordered to handle the case. Who dares to take action?"
This colorful tiger suddenly approached, and the official was frightened by its fierceness and took two steps back. Only then did he realize that there was a bronze medal tied under its neck, which emitted the unique light of Yuanli.
After seeing the words on the bronze medal clearly, the official was first surprised, and then overjoyed: "Master Baishan, you came just in time! Here..."
"Back off."
"Okay." The official immediately shut up and retired happily.
It's great to have a tall person on top when the sky falls. Someone should kill these wind-drilling beasts.
But he will be disappointed.
The seemingly irritable leader of the Wind Diamond Beast did not get angry. Instead, he spoke leisurely: "Master Jiao, long time no see."
Huh? The onlookers were suddenly disappointed:
Do you recognize these two?
Jiao Yu nodded to Juyang: "General Ling, the military order should have arrived, why haven't you set off yet?"
"My younger generation disappeared inexplicably, how could I not care?" Mr. Ling looked at the officer and spat on the ground, "I am here, and these scumbags dare to shirk the blame. When I take the order and go out, this case is not going to happen.
Is it yellow?"
It asked Jiao Yu again: "You are not here to handle the disappearance case of my tribe, are you?"
It has a bad temper, but it is self-aware. Seven or eight wind-drilling beasts are missing, how could they alert the eldest son’s men?
"No, but it may be related."
Mr. Ling was overjoyed: "Okay, okay! As long as there is a connection, please check it carefully for me!"
Jiao Yu retreated to He Lingchuan: "This prince's special envoy is the real master, I was just ordered to accompany him."
