After the immortal disappeared

The elixir case that once stirred up the turmoil in the imperial capital ended so hastily, probably because the Lingxu City incident suddenly occurred and took away all the attention of the city residents.

The filth hidden in the dark quietly covers up the truth.

From this point of view, He Lingchuan can be regarded as the savior of Imperial Master Qingyang.

The world only envies Lingxu City for its wealth and comfort, and only worships it for its strength. In fact, from He Lingchuan's perspective, it is also riddled with holes.

From this point of view, Lingxu City and Yuan Kingdom seem to be no different.

"Also on the eastern front, Bega also suffered two defeats. I don't know if it was affected by the turmoil in Lingxu City."

"Anyway, the changes caused by this shock are far-reaching, and I'm afraid it will take a long time to fully understand them." Elder Dao sighed, "Mr. He, you and Songyuan have really made extraordinary achievements."

He Lingchuan waved his hands repeatedly with a humble look on his face: "Elder Muzan, we are not that capable."

Hehehe, he also felt that it was not easy for him to do that job, with his head stuck in the waistband of his pants.

He remembered something again: "By the way, since Qingyang Imperial Master has been demoted to a commoner, who will take over the position of Qinggong Imperial Master?"

The position of national master is very important, and Lingxu City cannot be vacant for a long time.

"How can it be so fast?" Elder Dao smiled, "I heard that there are thirty or forty candidates recommended to the Demon Emperor... Well, that's an exaggeration, but all the forces are strongly recommending them, hoping that their own people can be chosen. .”

"Lingxu City has a complete system. Shouldn't the Lord of Qing Palace have a successor already?" Imperial Master Qingyang is so old, Lingxu City has not planned her successor?

"Yes, they are all talented people, but most of them have had contact with Qingyang Imperial Master, and they can no longer be used after this incident." Elder Dao said in one sentence the cruelty of the power struggle. The future of many talented people has been cut off because of an innocent disaster. "You have to take the exam again."

"I heard that there are endless reports surrounding this matter. Not to mention other candidates, Nie Xiaolou, the dean of Tongshan Academy, who is highly respected, was actually imprisoned and served fifteen days in prison. Several academies and Taixue The students jointly submitted a letter pleading Nie Xiaolou’s innocence, and students from Tongshan Academy even gathered in front of the court to beg the Demon Emperor to release him.”

"Also, after the Lingxu Incident, the Demon Emperor used the power of thunder to order a cleanup of Lingxu's government and the public, to catch traitors and identify evil, and to dig out spies." Elder Dao clicked his tongue twice, "As soon as this order is issued, everyone will be in danger and report it. Cheng Feng. It is said that the Tianlao and the Yang Palace on Xushan Mountain have been full in the past few months, and there is no room for criminals. Lingxu City had to requisition the prison in the lower city. "

"That's enough for them to drink a pot." He Lingchuan thought that Tiangong and the Demon Emperor were just trying to catch Fang Canran and other people from Lingshan with such a big fanfare.

How did he know that it was him that the Demon Emperor wanted to arrest? He thought that the culprit of the chaos in Xu Mountain was hidden in the palace of Lingxu City and was an official under his command!

Then you don't have to go to death to investigate? Not a single clue or a slight disturbance can be ignored.

How many unjust, false and wrongful convictions must have been caused in this case?

Elder Dao took out a jade slip: "Headmaster Xue and the candidates I want to recommend to Mr. He are all here. Everyone has joined the army, has military exploits, and has a solid character. I have carefully selected them. of."

He Lingchuan took it and penetrated with his spiritual thoughts.

There is a roster here, which contains the resumes of about sixty people, including each person's name, expertise, past qualifications, proficiency in magical powers, etc. It is very detailed.

The most important thing is that they have all been on the battlefield, killed people and seen blood, and are not young disciples of Rongshan Sect who only know how to practice martial arts.

Headmaster Xue and Elder Dao have regarded He Lingchuan as a like-minded "one of their own", and they also know how difficult this path is and will not recommend him to a newcomer who is not familiar with the world.

He Lingchuan picked slowly and found quite a few that he liked.

After a while, he put down the jade slip and asked the two of them: "Can you nominate someone?"

"Who else did you fall in love with?"

He Lingchuan raised his chin and said, "Qiu Hu. He must have fought in many battles, right?"

This man's fierceness impressed him deeply. If Qiu Hu's past resume is not extensive, he is a natural killer.

Elder Dao and Master Xue looked at each other, as if they were not surprised: "You really want to choose him too."

really? "It seems that there are many forces that like him, so why is he still in Rongshan?"

"I have recommended him to others several times, and he has been photographed several times. He has achieved many military exploits and killed more than a hundred people." After all, He Lingchuan is not the only one with a good eye for fortune-telling. He will not be the only one waiting for him. People came to discover it, "but he came back in the end."

"Why?"

"He is perverse by nature, doesn't like to obey orders, and looks down on his superiors. After all, most military generals are not as capable of fighting as him. However, he is very popular among the soldiers. Every time he gets into trouble, it ends up getting into a fight. The general can only hurry up. Send him back to Rongshan." Elder Dao stroked his long beard, "After doing this a few times, we have no choice but to leave him to live in Rongshan."

It turned out to be a thorn. Even so, He Lingchuan could still hear Elder Dao's love for Qiu Hu.

"Qiu Hu lost his parents as a child and was mute. Elder Zhao took him back to Rongshan and cured his mute disease. By the time he could speak, he was already eleven years old." Headmaster Xue added, "His My talent for cultivation is very special. I formed a contract with the demon spirit when I was born, and I can use part of the demon spirit’s power.”

"Demon spirit?" This was the first time He Lingchuan heard this word.

"In ancient times, some great demons were unwilling to die after being seriously injured, so they would try to keep their souls and find humans who were willing to enshrine them. In this way, if their souls were transformed into spirits, they could coexist with the descendants of humans and pass them on from generation to generation."

"So Qiu Hu was accompanied by demon spirits when he was born?"

"Exactly, this should have been passed down to him by his father before he died." Headmaster Xue sighed, "The stronger the human being who has formed a contract with the demon spirit, the more power he can use the demon spirit. Qiu Hu has a good talent and bones. , the future of practice is bright.”

"I see, what is his demon spirit?"

Headmaster Xue said with a smile: "Then he has to tell you himself."

This is Qiu Hu's secret. If Qiu Hu doesn't tell it himself, Headmaster Xue won't be able to leak it out.

He Lingchuan said seriously: "I want this person."

Elder Dao answered: "Of course we agree to lend Qiu Hu, but it is up to him to decide whether he is willing to come with you."

He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "I injured him, this..."

If Qiu Hu holds a grudge, it is only human nature.

He also noticed that Elder Dao said "lend" rather than "send", which showed that Rongshan valued Qiu Hu.

"On the contrary, if you can conquer him, he will be willing to follow you." Headmaster Xue waved his hand, "But at this time, I'm afraid he is not willing to leave Rongshan."

"Oh? Why?"
