Mortal Mirror

The little monk immediately followed, saying, "My name is Jiutian, and I'm from Fish City."

"Fish City? What a coincidence, I'm also from Fish City." Li Ergou was genuinely surprised. He hadn't expected this demon to be from Fish City. Although humans and demons are different, they were still from the same hometown.

Besides, this demon didn't seem like a bad one. Li Ergou even felt a strange sense of closeness to him, for some reason.

When the little monk heard that Li Ergou was also from Fish City, he inexplicably felt closer to him. After he brought Jiutian to Wu Divine Immortal's stall, Li Ergou introduced Bai Su, Ye Wanwan, and Wu Divine Immortal to him.

Although Jiutian had lived for a long time, he was still somewhat confused about the human world. Now that he had met a few people, he was happy in his heart, at least there were people he could ask questions to.

Especially Wu Divine Immortal, who was eloquent and seemed to know what he needed to know, telling him many things.

Jiutian was thus confused and stunned by Wu Divine Immortal's coaxing, becoming a loyal fan of Wu Divine Immortal.

Three days later, the strongest constable selection finally began.

The venue was the yamen's martial arts field, which was huge, with an area of hundreds of zhang in length. The entire field was paved with blue stone strips about a foot wide.

Three huge arenas were set up on the martial arts field to meet the requirements of multiple simultaneous matches.

This time, there were a total of one hundred and seventy-three constables from twenty major cities in Baojing Prefecture participating.

They were divided into the Foundation Establishment Group and the Golden Core Group.

There were one hundred and twenty-nine Golden Core stage cultivators.

Everyone drew numbers to determine their opponents. Li Ergou didn't care much about who his opponent was, but he still hoped that his opponent would be strong, so that he could test his true strength.

He knew that he cultivated both body and magic, and he could challenge opponents beyond his level when he went all out, not to mention that he had already cultivated his natal flying sword.

With the blessing of his natal flying sword, he believed that he should have no opponents below the Golden Core stage, but nothing is absolute in this world, and there are many powerful people.

Who knew if there would be a powerful freak who also cultivated both body and magic?

The martial arts field was bustling with noise at the moment. After all, such a grand event naturally attracted many spectators. Of course, the people who could watch the competition were not simple.

These people included not only constables from Baojing Prefecture, but also some officials, and the sons and daughters of wealthy merchants.

Looking around, the martial arts field, which covered an area of hundreds of zhang, was densely packed with people.

At this moment, Li Ergou and other constables entered the arena one after another, and the crowd immediately began to cheer.

Around the martial arts field, there were actually many beautiful young girls and young women holding portraits of incredibly powerful constables from previous years. It was unknown which painter had drawn them, but the character portraits were lifelike.

Some people even kept cheering the names of some constables, making the entire martial arts field a howling mess.

Li Ergou couldn't help but sneer at the scene, thinking that these young masters and young ladies were really infatuated.

Those constables whose portraits were being held up were all standing tall and proud, looking very awesome. Li Ergou really wanted to beat them up and make them stop showing off.

Of course, if all the portraits above were replaced with his own, he didn't seem to have any objections, hehe.

More than a hundred people stood on the huge martial arts field, everyone was waiting, waiting for the big shots of Baojing Prefecture to appear.

With a bang of the drum.

Suddenly, flower petals flew all over the sky. Li Ergou was speechless at this scene, thinking that a group of big men were making such a flashy appearance, wasn't it a bit too much?

Then he saw a few people flying from a distance, but they landed in front of everyone in an instant.

There were five people in this group: Commandant Cao Xiong, and the four chief constables. What was strange was that the God of Constable was not present at such a grand event, which was really strange.

Li Ergou naturally wouldn't care about these things, whether they came or not was none of his business.

What Li Ergou didn't expect was that this Cao Xiong was actually a thin man. Hearing his name, Li Ergou thought that this person must be a mighty and majestic man, but seeing the real person at this moment, he only felt that he was like a pale-faced scholar, without the aura of a martial artist, but with more of a scholarly atmosphere.

He couldn't help but wonder if this Commandant was a disciple of the academy. Well, it was very possible. He heard that many important official positions in the imperial court came from the academy.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of this person's son, Cao Tiezhu. He didn't know if that guy had come.

In the crowd, Cao Tiezhu was surrounded by a group of cronies, who were all praising him, but he looked unhappy. Why? He saw his old man again.

Although he had benefited a lot from his father, his father always lectured him about righteousness and great principles, and his ears were about to get calluses.

The most hateful thing was that their family rules were extremely strict, and he was a disobedient person, so he was often punished by his father. Just yesterday, he was punished by his father again for coming home late for dinner.

He was really going crazy, who knew his suffering? On the surface, he was an infinitely glorious and star-studded yamen, but at home, he was the prodigal son that his father looked down on the most. Perhaps his status in the family had plummeted, and he was not as favored as the old yellow dog in the family.

He had wanted to prove himself many times, wanting his father to know that he was a person who could do great things.

Unfortunately, fate was not on his side, and God always liked to joke with him.

For example, he kindly helped an old lady cross the road, but the old lady was scared to death by the crowd behind him.

He solicited business for the poor people selling meat buns on the street, but the boss made a lot of money because the buns were too popular and opened a bun shop. Unfortunately, this boss was too ostentatious, and he was killed by a group of bandits not long after the bun shop opened, and his family was begging on the street.

He solicited business for the ladies of the Baixiang Building, and the business was too hot, which eventually led to the death of the young lady.

Could he be blamed for this? Unfortunately, all the sins were thrown on his head.

Alas, don't mention it, anyway, he hadn't accomplished a single good thing in these years, and eventually brought endless pain to those people, so he was often scolded by his father.

Who knew that he really wanted to be a good person?

He wanted his father to approve of him. Life was really painful, and he couldn't understand what he was doing wrong.

He had failed in everything, so he became more and more depraved. Seeing his father being infinitely glorious above and being called by his name by thousands of people, he was envious and jealous. He vowed in his heart that he must surpass his father.

Uh, if Cao Xiong knew what his son was thinking, he didn't know what his expression would be.

Cao Xiong gave a long speech, and the four chief constables also began to speak one by one. It must be said that these people were very capable in Li Ergou's opinion, and they spoke very well. No wonder they could all become high officials.

Situ Qianxing also went up and gave a long speech, spitting all over the place. Just when Li Ergou was about to fall asleep, he heard Cao Xiong shout, "The competition begins!"

Then he saw him take out a lottery tube, and with divine power surging, countless bamboo sticks with numbers written on them flew towards the participating constables.
