Mortal Mirror

Situ Qianxing's greeting immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Li Ergou naturally didn't care and immediately walked over, saying, "Greetings, Lord Situ."

Situ Qianxing laughed and said, "No need for such formality. If it weren't for you protecting me back then, I don't know what would have happened. Now that you've also come here, I naturally have to do my part as the host.

What's wrong? Are you alone? Where are the others?"

"To be honest, my lord, I came ahead to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Great Xia. I just arrived here today, and I don't know about the others."

"Oh, is that so? Alright, you go ahead with your business. I'll invite you to dinner tonight." As he spoke, he patted Li Ergou's shoulder, like an elder showing affection.

Li Ergou found it amusing and didn't know what to say, so he could only say, "Okay."

After Situ Qianxing left, several constables immediately came over, becoming friendly with Li Ergou. Li Ergou couldn't help but wonder why these guys, who had just been aloof, cold, and unfathomable, were now so enthusiastic.

See? Those who can become constables are no ordinary people. Which one of them isn't shrewd and a master of changing faces?

Li Ergou wasn't afraid of anyone. After all, the world is bustling for profit, and everyone is scrambling for gain. As long as they can chat, they are friends.

In a short time, Li Ergou made many colleagues. These are all connections. Wherever Li Ergou goes in the future, these friends will give him face. Even if it's just a familiar face, people will be more enthusiastic towards you.

In fact, everyone was more curious about the relationship between Li Ergou and Situ Qianxing. Li Ergou showed a profound look and only said that they had no special relationship, just a superior-subordinate relationship.

The more he said that, the less people believed him. After all, everyone is a superior and subordinate, but no one saw Situ Qianxing patting anyone else's shoulder.

Don't underestimate this pat on the shoulder. Ordinary people wouldn't get that from a big shot. Usually, what big shots do is full of meaning.

Many people believed that Situ Qianxing patted Li Ergou's shoulder to show everyone that he had a close relationship with Li Ergou.

The most terrifying thing about people is their imagination. The more these people thought about it, the more they felt that Li Ergou's relationship was unusual. After all, how old is he to become the deputy chief constable of Yu City? What a joke!

Everyone present had been working hard for decades to climb up. This further strengthened their belief that Li Ergou's identity was not simple.

Situ Qianxing probably didn't expect his unintentional action to cause such a big misunderstanding. It must be said that imagination is terrible.

Li Ergou spoke vaguely and didn't care about everyone's thoughts. After all, some things are better left unsaid. Let them figure it out themselves with his half-truths.

Li Ergou has become much more cunning.

Thus, on his first day here, he made many friends and had a great time.

Afterward, Li Ergou and Ye Wanwan found the yamen's post station. The post station covered a large area, a large courtyard with five entrances and five exits, which showed the grandeur of the state government.

After Li Ergou registered, he was given a door number. He asked the waiter if anyone from Yu City had arrived. The waiter immediately checked for him, but the result was negative.

Li Ergou was a little puzzled and didn't know why the people from Yu City were so late.

What he didn't know was that about five hundred miles away from Baojing Prefecture, there was Stone Plate Mountain, where a group of bandits lived by robbery. The bandits were not terrible, but they enshrined a large Buddha on Stone Plate Mountain.

This Buddha didn't know why, perhaps it had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth over time, or perhaps it had listened to profound Buddhist teachings, but it had gained spirituality.

After receiving offerings, it would grant the bandits supreme power, which made these bandits even more rampant. Whether it was passersby or cultivators, they would not let them go unless they paid the toll.

And the stone Buddha that had become精(spiritually aware), specialized in absorbing the Yin spirits of women and preferred to eat Yin and evil things, a proper邪佛(evil Buddha).

Perhaps because it had absorbed too much Yin and evil, flesh buds slowly grew on the stone Buddha's body. Over the years, the stones on the stone Buddha's body gradually fell off, turning into flesh and blood.

Thus, the stone Buddha's cultivation became more and more profound, deeply admired by the bandits.

Now it could be seen that almost the entire body of the stone Buddha had been fleshified, only the Buddha's head had only been transformed into half. Given time, when the Buddha's head was completely transformed, the stone Buddha might become a real demon.

These days, on Stone Plate Mountain, Buddhist sounds lingered every night, and there was a blood-colored moonlight shining on the stone Buddha's body.

Seeing this scene, the bandits on the mountain were extremely happy, thinking that if the stone Buddha really came to life, Stone Plate Mountain would not be afraid to stand on its own in the future.

At this moment, several bandit leaders on the mountain were discussing how to help the stone Buddha to fleshify as soon as possible. Suddenly, two red blood lights shot out from the stone Buddha's eyes.

Under the illumination of the blood light, the bandit leaders felt that their bodies were filled with infinite power.

Immediately, the stone Buddha's voice echoed in their minds: "Go find me more powerful blood food, bring me back real cultivators, only their blood can make me completely come alive."

The bandit leaders said yes and strode out.

Below Stone Plate Mountain is a road leading to Baojing Prefecture. Directly opposite the entrance of Stone Plate Mountain, there is a large willow tree with a girth of three people. The willow tree is full of knife marks. It turns out that these bandits would leave a mark on the tree every time they killed someone.

At this moment, it was noon, and the sun in the sky was shining brightly.

Below Stone Plate Mountain, a group of people came slowly. The leader was none other than Li Tianhai, the chief constable of Yu City, followed by Meng Xiaoyu and Bai Su.

Bai Su originally didn't want to come, but Li Tianhai believed that even if she didn't participate in the competition for the strongest constable, she could watch and gain experience.

Anyway, Yu City has been stable during this period, and there are no urgent matters. The World's First Martial Arts Tournament is about to begin. Bai Su thought that even if she resigned early, so in the end, she still came along.

Several chief constables followed behind them, all here to join in the fun. Of course, they would be happy to win some places.

Everyone bypassed the bend in front and heard fierce fighting sounds coming from ahead. A beggar-like person was being besieged by a group of people.
