Evergreen Immortal

Ten days passed in a flash.

Apart from the small episode of the headless slave, the inspection of Qingfeng Villa was of course uneventful.

This is the normal state of inspection.

The court sent people to inspect, but they didn't expect to find out anything all at once.

The main thing is to look at the attitude, just to scare the tiger.

If a sect treats the inspector with courtesy, then at least it is still obeying the court's management on the surface, and such a sect is enough.

If you feel obvious hostility as soon as you enter, then there is no need to investigate, just take action directly.

In the final analysis, the inspection is to let these sects know who is the strongest force in this world.

The court!

Li Rui and his party naturally lived very comfortably in Qingfeng Villa.

Of course, most of the time it was Li Rui who was there, and at most Jiang Yan, and the others only appeared for a short period of time.

Especially Tan Hu.

It seems that he is particularly nostalgic for the women in Anning Mansion. He goes out every now and then, and stays for two or three days.

In this regard, Li Rui did not stop him.

These details are not important at all, as long as they don't cause him any trouble.

He was also happy to be free.

He practiced martial arts every day, and besides that, he led people to patrol Qingfeng Villa, looked at the account books and the situation of the disciples and personnel.

This was also an explanation.

Li Rui felt that the time to come out was about the same, so he found an excuse to bid farewell to Dong Shen and set off with everyone to return to Qinghe.

This time he came out but gained a lot.

Not only did he repay Jiang Linxian's favor, but he also unexpectedly got news about fairy treasures and fairy methods from the beheaded slave.

He had been confused before.

Although the spirit guide was very precious, it was not so precious that it could not be called a fairy treasure, and it was also valued by a big man like Jiang Linxian, chasing the mother of ten thousand ghosts all the way.

Behind every bizarre thing, there is a reasonable explanation.

The reason why it feels unreasonable is that you can't see the whole picture of the matter.

"The immortal law is the key."

"The Ghost Sect has mastered the immortal law, but the court knows that the Lord of the Dragon Court has set up a guard post. The purpose is probably not only to intimidate the Ghost Sect, but also for the immortal law!"

However, Li Rui also vaguely sensed it.

His Majesty the Emperor did not seem to be determined to obtain the immortal law, and seemed to be testing it.

"This immortal law is very likely not as mysterious as imagined."

"Otherwise, I don't know how many people will go crazy. The Holy Emperor will definitely use the power of the Yu Kingdom to fight for it. The scene will be far from being as gentle as it is now."

The above is Li Rui's inference.

As for what the truth is, I am afraid that only the person who masters the immortal law of the Ghost Sect can give the answer.

Li Rui took the Tiger Guards and several Huaqing Sect disciples to travel along the way, walking and stopping.

When the group returned to Qinghe, it had been more than half a month since they set out from Qinghe.

Although it was a little long, it was also reasonable.

And Li Rui also had an explanation for this. Jiang Linxian specifically asked him to take several Huaqing Sect disciples to experience.

What is experience?

It is not that you need an immersive experience to gain something.

Li Rui returned to Anning Guard Station and first went to find Ning Zhongtian to organize the situation of the inspection of Qingfeng Villa into a written booklet and presented it.

Even if the two have a good relationship, such things cannot be sloppy. The work that should be done should still be done beautifully on the surface. This is called leaving traces.

When Ning Zhongtian saw that the report mentioned that the headless slave was still alive, he was also very surprised.

"Could it be that the disciple of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Mother also has the ability to come back to life?"

But he was just surprised. A headless slave is not enough.

According to Li Rui's report, the headless slave may have escaped from Anning Prefecture or even Yunzhou, and is not under the jurisdiction of Anning Guard. Moreover, even if he is still in Anning Prefecture, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a person in the deep mountains.

The wisest way is to wait for the headless slave to be discovered again.

Anning Guard has set up no data points in its jurisdiction, and its intelligence capabilities are so strong that it can always hear news again.

"Well done."

Ning Zhongtian was very satisfied with Li Rui's work ability.

Others didn't know.

But he knew it clearly.

Last time, if Li Rui hadn't provided information and Jiang Yan had asked Jiang Linxian to help him, he couldn't do it alone, even with two guards.

Later, he asked the coroner of Annan Town to check.

You don't know until you check, and you'll be shocked.

The demon turned out to be a descendant of the Qi family, the royal family of the previous dynasty.

As the first meritorious official in public, Ning Zhongtian's reward was naturally so generous that it was frightening. If his strength was not still at the sixth rank, his official position might have been promoted.

And Li Rui didn't fight or compete, and didn't even take the initiative to ask for credit.

This kind of dirty work is done, and the honor of the boss is a good subordinate.

Who wouldn't like it?

"That. Brother Li, I also know that you don't like to be high-profile. Last time, the credit for killing the demon of the Ghost Nether Sect was given to me, but don't worry, I, Ning Zhongtian, am not a stingy person, and I will definitely not let you work hard in vain."

Li Rui waved his hand: "I just got the information by chance. In terms of credit, Lord Jiang and Lord Ning are the most."

He was not being modest.

If Ning Zhongtian and Jiang Linxian hadn't taken action, he alone, no matter how many means he had, would have seemed vulnerable in the face of absolute strength.

And that person came specifically for him.

It was Jiang Linxian and Ning Zhongtian who solved the big problem for him.

It doesn't matter whether there is a reward or not.

Li Rui has always had his own standards, and sometimes taking too much is not necessarily a good thing.

Ning Zhongtian's favorable impression of Li Rui increased after hearing this.

He walked out of Ning Zhongtian's house.

He hadn't taken two steps.

Wei Ming and Ge Hong heard the news and came over. The three of them thought that it was almost time to close the camp anyway.

They were not picky people.

Li Rui and Wei Ming were taken by Ge Hong to a wine stall in an alley, ordered two kilograms of liquor, and sat around a greasy table with peanuts to drink.

"Brother Li, brother Wei, I have been drinking for decades, and I still feel most comfortable here."

Li Rui grabbed four or five peanuts and took a sip with rice wine.

"It's really good."

He looked around.

There were seven or eight tables in the wine stall, and two or three people sat sparsely, excluding the three of them.

"Good wine needs to be hidden in a deep alley."

Wei Ming was not born into a family of noble lords, but of course he was not bad.

There were very few people who had risen from a groom to the seventh rank like Li Rui.

But he had been in the army for many years, so he was not a person who cared about things.

He drank the broken porcelain bowl with relish.

If you didn't know, you would think they were three gourmets nearby. Who would have thought they were three seventh-rank officials with titles comparable to county magistrates.

After a while.

The only table was gone.

Only Li Rui and the other two were left at the wine stall, and the owner of the wine shop was nowhere to be found.

The three chatted casually.

Ge Hong chewed peanuts while drawing circles on the table with his index finger dipped in the wine.

"Brother Li, you've been gone for half a month. Our guard post has not been peaceful during this period."

Li Rui said softly:

"What happened?"

"Do you remember the demon from the Ghost Sect who broke into our guard post some time ago and was killed by Lord Ning?"

Li Rui nodded.

Of course I remember.

If it weren't for him, that person might not have died.

Even though no one would hear him, he still lowered his voice deliberately: "That guy's surname is Qi, and the royal family of the previous dynasty also has the surname Qi."

Li Rui hissed softly.

I didn't expect that he was still a royal family.

Although he was a royal family of the previous dynasty, it was also quite a big deal. Nowadays, the royal blood of the Yu Kingdom is very precious.

"No wonder Ning Zhongtian insisted on rewarding me."

Li Rui felt relieved instantly after Ge Hong said that.

Killing a royal family of the previous dynasty, the benefits that Jiang Linxian and Ning Zhongtian will get will only be more than he imagined.

Wei Ming took over the conversation: "Brother Li, you are going out for inspection this time, and you should stay in the guard post for a while. I heard that the Ghost Cult was angry because of this matter and attacked many of our brothers who were out. Once they almost broke into the city."

Li Rui nodded.

The revenge of the Ghost Cult was almost predictable. He went to Qingfeng Villa just to avoid the most violent first wave.

Of course, since that incident, the defense of Qinghe City has also been greatly improved. No matter how powerful the Ghost Cult is, it dare not reach out to Qinghe City.

It can be seen from the light red smoke in the perspective of the wisdom eye.

The city is temporarily safe.

It was also safe in Qingfeng Villa before.

In the end, Li Rui concluded that the most dangerous are the An Ning Wei soldiers who go out but not to the main sect.

The Ghost Cult can ambush in the mountains and forests beside the official road, making it difficult to defend.

Ge Hong also agreed: "The Ghost Cult's little bastards lost an important person, and they are anxious. It's better for us to hide."

Not seen.

Recently, even Cao Wei rarely sent people to patrol the small sect.

Killing a royal family of the previous dynasty, as a lieutenant general of the An Ning Guard, even if he did not participate in it, he can get a share.

Since you have gained benefits, you can't think about both the inside and the outside.

It's not too late to take action after the Ghost Cult has vented its anger.

The three are warriors.

Being seven points intoxicated, the topic naturally turned to martial arts.

Ge Hong grinned and said proudly: "The \u003cHundred Swords Slaying Demons Diagram\u003e passed down by my master is very suitable for me, and I have already gained some insights."

Wei Ming looked at Ge Hong with envy.

It is a great opportunity to get a Qi-moving diagram that suits him.

Although he is an officer of the Annan Army, he has access to many more Qi-moving diagrams than Ge Hong.

But he has never found a Qi-moving diagram that suits him.

Helplessly, he had to choose a \u003cVajra Subduing Demons Diagram\u003e that barely matched him by five points to nourish and move his Qi.

This is the normal state of a martial artist like Wei Ming.

Even if there is a Qi-reading sorcerer who has determined the basic Qi form, there are at most hundreds of Qi-moving diagrams of the same form, and it is impossible to try them one by one.

It is enough to have a five-point fit.

If everything must be perfect, then I am afraid that I will stop at the first step of choosing the technique and it will be difficult to make any progress.

It is better to be a little worse than not practicing at all.

Li Rui did not participate in this topic.

He could not say that his technique was self-created, and that the Qi-moving diagram was a double form or a perfect match.

If Ge Hong and Wei Ming knew about this, they would probably drink several more pounds of wine tonight.

His old bones could not afford to be tossed.
