In the Blade

As a punishment for Huo De Xing Jun's tricking on him, Du Chengfeng's supervision of Huo De Xing Jun became more severe.

Perhaps he couldn't do anything to Huo De Xing Jun with his current status, such as putting him in a sack or beating him up, but he could at least make Huo De Xing Jun unable to do anything - just like now, after knowing that he would be locked up for half a month, Huo De Xing Jun wanted to just rely on practice to get through it.

Not to mention the great ones, even ordinary evil spirit masters often practice for ten days and half a month, and time flies by, and they can even gain something.

But how could Du Chengfeng let Huo De Xing Jun live so well?

Not to mention practice, he even didn't let Huo De Xing Jun sleep.

"Get up! What are you doing!"

Seeing that Huo De Xing Jun was about to close his eyes quietly, Du Chengfeng kicked the prison door.

The kick was light, and the prison door was very strong, but the chain tied to the prison door was shaken and made a rattling sound - that is, under this harsh sound of metal clashing, the Fire Deity Star Lord who had just entered the state was directly interrupted.

Fire Deity Star Lord raised his head angrily and glared at Du Chengfeng.

There are only two ways in front of Fire Deity Star Lord at present. One is to stop hiding his identity, break through the cage on the spot, and fight with this dog-like iron man - but it is obvious that this kind of venting is not without cost.

The practice was interrupted, and he had to eat what he said. He broke the rules he set, which would make his state of mind dusty, and the subsequent repair might become more troublesome.

But if he didn't do this... then there was only another way, to endure the torture in front of him with a fearless attitude. This would naturally be beneficial, which would make his state of mind more resilient and his perseverance stronger.

But there are also disadvantages to doing this, that is, the more he endured, the more angry he would be.

"What are you doing? Did you let your mind wander?"

While Huo De Xing Jun was still thinking, the iron chain at the door was kicked again.

The iron chain was kicked and made a rattling sound, and Huo De Xing Jun's train of thought was interrupted again, which forced Huo De Xing Jun to raise his head and look at the culprit who caused all this.

"Really..."

Thousands of words finally turned into a sigh.

"Who can be worse than you... Can't I close my eyes?"

"No."

Du Chengfeng shook his head decisively.

This old Deng still has the nerve to say that he is bad? He still remembers how this old Deng fooled him before-if he didn't react in time, he would probably be brainwashed by this old guy on the spot.

Especially the theory of good and evil that sounds quite reliable. Even now, he thinks this set of things has some meaning, and even once thought that what Huo De Xing Jun said was right.

But this is a problem in itself.

For ordinary people, this kind of thing is actually okay. It is normal for one person to acknowledge another person's ideas. But for the powerful, this is very abnormal. If he acknowledges the ideas of the Fire Lord today, does he have to acknowledge the Fire Lord's Taoism tomorrow?

When he acknowledges the Fire Lord's Taoism, what is he? A boy under the Fire Lord's seat?

"There is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between the powerful."

Du Chengfeng, who has been in heaven for a while, has gradually begun to understand this.

Maybe everyone will maintain harmony on the surface, but in fact, all the powerful are in a competitive relationship with each other. After all, everyone has their own Taoism and their own methods. In this idealistic world where you have seen ghosts, only by believing in your own Taoism enough can you become stronger and go further.

Acknowledging that other people's Taoism is right means admitting that your own Taoism is not good enough. This can even be said to be a prying of one's own fundamental power and a self-destructive approach.

So Du Chengfeng was not quite sure whether Huode Xingjun was doing it intentionally or unintentionally. After all, the firm belief in one's own orthodoxy is what every powerful person would do. From this perspective, his torture of Huode Xingjun actually made no sense. After all, the old man was just habitually radiating his influence. He was affected mainly because he was not firm enough.

In short, the food was the original sin. This kind of thing cannot be blamed on the old man. If you really want to blame someone, you should blame yourself for not being firm enough.

"But I am a bad guy, and of course bad guys have to do bad things."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng simply kicked the prison food that the jailer had just brought to Huode Xingjun.

This also made Huode Xingjun even more angry.

"Are you so idle, kid?"

Seeing that the iron man really put on a posture of spending half a month with him, Huode Xingjun was a little annoyed.

"Don't you have your own practice? Do you have to trouble me?"

"This is my practice."

Du Chengfeng had no intention of leaving.

This wasn't even an angry remark, but a thought that he had captured from the bottom of his heart - although this matter had nothing to do with fighting, or even with the beautiful life he longed for, he was surprised to find that he had gained some strange happiness from it.

Just like when I was a child, on a sunny summer day, I would use a magnifying glass to burn ants, or break off the legs of insects to see how far they could crawl by themselves.

This was a simple but quite pure happiness.

It was a long-lost happiness.

"But doing this is too cruel."

Du Chengfeng, who caught this thought, shook his head immediately.

Yes, there is nothing to say about using this method to deal with bugs, but using this method to deal with people is a bit excessive - from this point of view, Huo Dexingjun's statement is really correct. If he If you allow this thought to develop, sooner or later it will start torturing people like insects.

After all, Du Chengfeng has a good heart and he can't stand this.

"But what does that saying mean? There are only useless people, but there is no useless technology."

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but look at Lord Huodexing in the prison.

Yes, as he said just now, there is no useless technology, only people who can't use this technology - cruel torture is definitely inappropriate for ordinary people, but it is definitely not suitable for Huode. An old bad guy like Xingjun is just right.

The same kind of torture, if applied to ordinary people, would destroy humanity, but if it were applied to Lord Huo Dexing, who is no longer a human being, the intensity would be even greater.

After all, Du Chengfeng was too kind-hearted, and he couldn't bear to see those evil spirit masters suffer.

"So you are the only one who has to suffer."

With this in mind, Du Chengfeng simply opened the door and walked into the prison, and then put the shackles made of his own iron on Lord Huo Dexing.

"That's almost it."

Seeing that Mr. Huodexing was hanging in the air in such a twisted posture that he couldn't even concentrate, Du Chengfeng felt inexplicably at ease.

"You're right, I really should go out to practice. See you later."

"you……"

Mr. Huodexing was hung up and couldn't speak for a long time. The pig-like binding method made it impossible for him to even breathe normally.

"Wait until I get out, wait until I get out..."

"Just wait, he will be released in another ten days or so."

Du Chengfeng patted Mr. Huo Dexing on the shoulder to encourage him, then turned around and left the cell.

Although from a standpoint, he could not admit Huodexingjun's orthodoxy, he also admitted that Huodexingjun would occasionally say a few reliable words - such as the sentence that he also wanted to practice, and this one was given to him. gave him some inspiration.

He indeed wants to practice, and he even has some goals in practice.

Although it is only a small goal, Du Chengfeng is still very motivated now.

"Let's see if we can fill the cells first."

This is Du Chengfeng's small goal.

Of course, he set this goal not because he wanted to do something that would lead to defeat, but because in this chaotic small county, there were too many people who deserved to be caught - just like those Jianghu knights walking on the street. , who doesn’t have several cases of human lives on their backs, if we really count them all, they should actually be caught in jail.

Of course, considering that some murder cases have causes, Du Chengfeng never thought of killing them all with one shot. In addition, many things were not necessarily committed locally. He couldn't trace the source even if he wanted to, so he was thinking After a moment, he simply made a distinction.

That is, the past was before and the present is now.

He didn't know about the things he had committed before, so naturally he couldn't control them. If he did, it would only be a mess. But for new things committed in his jurisdiction, he would never tolerate such evil acts. No one who dares to kill anyone in this county will be able to escape, and all crimes will be brought to justice.

"What? You said there are no legal documents in the county?"

With this idea in mind, Du Chengfeng ran all the way to the county government office to see what the local laws and regulations were, but he heard a shocking answer.

"Then how do you usually solve cases? Do you just rely on memory?"

"This...is a long story."

Hearing the new head catcher ask this question, the county magistrate felt a little dizzy for a moment.

"This is what happened..."

Following the county magistrate's narration, Du Chengfeng gradually came to know what happened.

There was originally a Da Chen Law in the county. After all, this was the county government. How could it not even have a set of Da Chen Law? But that was the problem. Not long ago, there were two evil spirit masters competing nearby. Fighting, the two masters fought all the way to the vicinity of the county government office. Under the light of swords and shadows, even the county government office was destroyed in half.

Although the county government office was later renovated, the large Chen Code left by the county magistrate had been chopped into pieces.

"The new Dachenlu has indeed been ordered, but the journey is far away and it has not been delivered yet..."

"Ah this."

Du Chengfeng felt a toothache when he heard this.

It seems that this is really the case. After all, there are quite a few bandits outside the city. The logistics channels in this county are actually very unstable, which means that it is actually very troublesome to send a lot of things over. —For example, the missing Da Chen Lu is currently stuck because the logistics are blocked.

"Then... forget it, excuse me."

With a sigh, Du Chengfeng finally chose to give up.

Although it is a pity that he cannot see the laws and regulations, it is nothing to Du Chengfeng. After all, in addition to his identity as a head catcher, he also has the identity of a great master Chen - to put it simply, if he really finds If he didn't have any laws, he could have written one on the spot.

Anyway, just take it back to Jiankang City and ask the little emperor to stamp it. There are all acquaintances in the palace, and no one will deny his words.

"But if I write it myself...what should I write?"

As he picked up his pen and polished it, Du Chengfeng felt a little confused for a moment.

This kind of thing is a bit too brain-burning for him, and he really hasn't thought about this aspect of the problem.

"How about something easy to understand?"

After thinking for a while, Du Chengfeng began to write.

"Those who kill people will be locked up, those who hurt people and steal things will all be locked up... This should be enough."

It is indeed enough. If there are more, he can't think of any more for a while. Although the current rules are rough, this simple way is just right for him.

After establishing these, the rest is to wait for people to commit crimes.

This is not far away for Du Chengfeng. He encountered a murder case at noon that day-there was no need to investigate it, just because when he was eating wonton noodles, the two masters of evil spirits were slashing with knives in front of him.

How could Du Chengfeng tolerate such bad behavior, not to mention that the swords and swords of the two masters of evil spirits flew towards him, which made him even more unbearable.

If you don't pay attention to the aftermath of a fight, what will happen if this thing hits an innocent passerby on the roadside?

"Don't run!"

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng didn't even eat the instant noodles and rushed over directly.

With a swing of the chain, a master of evil spirits was already locked in the air by him, and then he tied the hemp rope around his waist and pressed another master of evil spirits to the ground - but to Du Chengfeng's surprise, the other master of evil spirits seemed to know him, at least the look he gave him was obviously fierce.

"Why is it you again!"

The master of evil spirits who was pressed to the ground had his eyes wide open.

"Twice! You have ruined my practice twice!"

"Twice? What do you mean twice?"

For a moment, Du Chengfeng didn't recognize who this was. Why did it suddenly happen twice? It was obviously the first time he saw this master of evil spirits, why did this guy say twice?

However, this familiar tone, and that strange self-proclaimed... he seemed to have some impression of him.

"... Wait?"

Du Chengfeng vaguely remembered something.

"Are you the black tiger?"

"You... poof!"

The black tiger star king who was pressed to the ground was about to say something, but Du Chengfeng stepped on his back.

"I'm looking for you!"

Du Chengfeng was overjoyed. Just looking at his happy face, he was even more excited than catching a master of evil spirits.

Du Chengfeng himself also keenly caught this idea.

He suddenly realized that the source of his happiness was never to maintain the law and order in the county.

He just wanted to lock up all those powerful people who hindered his practice.
