Chapter 44: God's Will and Qi, the Remnants of the Disaster "It ruins the scenery!" Han Zongqi Envoy put down his chopsticks and said angrily, "Do you know what cunning is? Do you know what dignity is? If he doesn't speak first, how can I, as his immediate superior, speak first? This is a loss of status!" "..." The honest middle-aged man scratched his head, looked at Mr. Lu, and asked, "Where is your old man?" Mr. Lu picked up a piece of tofu and said calmly, "I am the oldest, and the matter is from the Tianshi Department. What does it have to do with me?" Finally, all eyes turned to Lin Yan. "Then why are you pretending to be so profound, kid?" "I've been busy all night and I'm really hungry. I want to fill my stomach first." Lin Yan raised his head and said seriously: "As my cultivation level increases, my appetite increases and I get hungry faster."
As his voice fell, he took out the small flag of Linjiang Division and placed it on the dining table. Then he picked up the bowl again and swallowed the remaining half bowl of porridge in one gulp. Then he wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "General Flag Envoy, this Linjiang flag suddenly changed color last night." This flag is the identity symbol of the flag bearer of Linjiang Division. Black background with silver edges, a willow branch pattern on the back and the word "Linjiang" on the front. But just after Lin Yan killed the evil spirit, the willow branch pattern on the back of the Linjiang flag turned green. "I was born in Gaoliu City since I was young. I only heard the divine power of Liu Zun, who protected the country and the people and blessed all living things." "Between heaven and earth, all the demons and evil spirits in the ten directions are afraid of the name of Liu Zun." “Therefore, Gao Liu City, established in this world, can last forever.” "Why did an evil spirit that was not afraid of Lord Liu's divine power appear in the world last night?" Lin Yan pointed at the clear willow branch pattern on the Linjiang flag and said, "I think our Tianjian Division must know the inside story!" "..." General Han was silent for a moment, then reached into his arms, took out a flag and placed it on the table. On the flag, the words "Linjiang" were clearly written. This is a new Linjiang flag. He was obviously prepared. "Let me think carefully about where to start." General Han took back the Linjiang flag that had changed. Afterwards, he thought about it carefully, and then slowly said: "In fact, every time Liu Zun fell asleep, some special 'qi' would appear in Gaoliu City."
"It is currently named 'Divine Will Qi Seed'." "Normally, this 'divine energy' can destroy evil spirits." "But some 'evil spirits' are quite special and will absorb the 'divine will and energy' instead." "Once merged, this evil spirit will be equivalent to possessing the 'aura' of Liu Zun, and can even regard 'Him' as a part of Liu Zun's branches." “So, the evil spirit that appeared last night was not afraid of Liu Zun’s divine power.” "Based on past experience, it is possible that he will merge with Liu Zun's divine power and become even more powerful." Han, the flag bearer, raised his head and said, "This kind of energy is extremely rare. Whenever Liu Zun falls asleep, only a small amount of it will be born..." Lin Yan was silent for a moment, then asked, "How was it handled in the past?" Han Zongqi Envoy said: "Destroy the evil spirits and kill the evildoers, and the Qi will be released." Then he reached out and tapped the flag on the table, saying, "For example, this Linjiang flag is specially made in Qifeng City. It will attract free Qi seeds and attach to it!" "In addition, the Liuzun Temple is not completely helpless in dealing with such evil spirits." At this moment, Lu Gong spoke up and said, "At least, each of the twelve temple priests has their own means of suppression!" Hearing this, Lin Yan nodded and said, "So, it is because Mr. Jing is not good enough in his studies that he has not yet received the true teachings?" "That's pretty much what it means." Mr. Lu laughed, and then said: "Besides, he only merged a wisp of Liu Zun's energy, and he is still an evil spirit." Lin Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and replied: "So, people who have reached the level of refining essence and above the inner strength can consume their own essence and blood, and use the human body's most yang energy to destroy this evil spirit." As he said this, it suddenly dawned on me. At present, the only effect of this divine will and energy is to allow demons to possess Liu Zun's energy. Although most of the methods of Liu Zun Temple are completely useless for demons that have integrated divine will and energy. However, the true secret techniques of the temple, or people who have reached the Refining Essence Realm and above, can still restrain themselves. "If that's the case, it doesn't seem that terrible, but why did it cause a disaster sixty years ago?" Lin Yan was puzzled and asked immediately. Han, the flag bearer, spoke slowly, "There are only twelve priests in the temple, and there are only a handful of people in Gaoliu City who have reached the Refining Spirit Realm." "What if the number of demons that have merged with the divine will and energy exceeds the number of strong men in the city?" "Even if the extra one is just an ordinary wandering monster, it can cause a huge disaster!" "Except for the twelve temple priests, the other temple messengers are helpless." "And warriors may not even be able to protect themselves when facing evil spirits." "There was more than just one evil spirit that appeared back then!" Speaking of this, General Han's expression became slightly complicated.
Lin Yan thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the worshippers?" Han Zongqi thought for a moment, then said, "Based on the information we know so far, the person who worshipped the evil spirit last night must have secretly obtained the divine energy, but out of selfishness, he hid himself in the hope of seeking a higher position." "A higher position?" Lin Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "In other words, there is indeed a force lurking in the dark?" "Didn't you expect this?" General Han said solemnly: "This force, calling itself 'Jewel of the Sky', should have been completely destroyed sixty years ago." "But in the past three to five years, their traces can be seen behind many things. It seems that they are the remnants of the disaster and have revived from the ashes." "By the way, I can confirm that Chen Yuannv was the work of 'Jie Jin'." "As you expected, the one they were targeting was not Wu Chang, but Lin Yan." At this point, General Han poured another bowl of porridge and said, "I haven't figured out why I targeted you yet, but I should be able to give you an explanation before this evening." Lin Yan was surprised and asked, "Are you so sure?" General Han raised the corner of his mouth to smile. "I have already spotted the person behind the scenes!" "Oh?" The middle-aged man couldn't help being curious, so he moved closer with a big black face and stood between Lin Yan and Han Zheng. He looked at Han Zheng and asked in surprise: "How come you are watching me here?" "..." General Han slowly turned his head, looked past his face, and looked at Lin Yan, saying, "Weren't the four officers you asked to investigate killed last night?" "In fact, I found Liu Guangding's body early in the morning and was just waiting for them to clean up the mess." "So these four officers who handled the corpse have long been in my sight." "Someone took action to silence them. Naturally, I saw it clearly." "This person is quite capable. He should be a high-ranking member of the Jie Jin clan." "But he is in the Outer South Yamen, and his official rank is not low, so we have to wait for the documents from the Inner City Jiantian Division Headquarters before we can break into the Outer South City Guard Yamen and arrest him openly!" Before General Han could finish his words, he saw a big black face slowly leaning over and blocking his way. "What if the secret is leaked? I can tell from your scarred face that you are unreliable." The honest man shook his head immediately. "..." General Han rubbed his brows and reluctantly explained: "This document comes from the Supreme Commander. It will be delivered in secret and the news will not be leaked." "I have also assigned someone to keep an eye on the Outer South Yamen, to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Okay, now that I've finished the porridge, changed the flag, and explained everything, I'll be back at Wainansi now." Han Zongqi Envoy put down the bowl, stood up, and pointed to the bundle at his feet: "Your salary for this month is inside." "Also, how many small flags do you have under your command? You need to make a list and send it to the Outer South Division." "Once the number of people is determined, we can report to the inner city and apply for next month's salary." "By the way, you have performed a great deed in the past two nights. Please write a battle report later so that I can send it to the Inner City Tianjian Division Headquarters to calculate the results and record your achievements." (End of this chapter)
