Chapter 42. Constable
"Why am I here?" The tall woman raised her eyebrows and pointed to her chest. "I am the head constable of Huai'an County Yasi. Tell me why I am here!"

Fatty Li looked in the direction the woman pointed.

Hiss, so round!

Ah, that's not right. Fatty Li only saw the word "Bu" that was stretched a little out of shape at this time: "Mo Qingxue, you actually became a constable?"

"Is it strange that I became a constable?" Mo Qingxue widened her eyes.

"No, no, you've liked to stand up for the weak since you were a kid. Being a constable is a good fit for you." Fatty Li must have been beaten quite a few times by the other party. When the other party glared at him, he immediately shrank his neck.

Mo Qingxue put her hands on her hips and glanced at Liu Sanniang lying on the ground: "Okay, now can you tell me why you are here and what happened here just now?"

Fatty Li immediately told the woman everything that had happened since they started sending the letter from Linhong Posthouse.

"A ghost that can control ghosts? Someone is secretly plotting to murder the Cao family? Liu Sanniang is related to the dead Cao Erlang."

Mo Qingxue frowned when she heard this.

These things do sound connected.

Could it be that Liu Sanniang has clues about the mastermind behind the murder of Cao's family? And the mastermind knows that the plot of controlling Cao Erlang's spirit has been exposed, so he wants to kill her to silence her?
After thinking about it for a while, Mo Qingxue looked back and forth at Xu Qing and Fatty Li in surprise: "Do you two have to talk to me with this golden glow on your body?"

"Don't waste it." Fatty Li said happily.

The yellow paper talisman is not a magic tool but a disposable item. Once used, it cannot be restored to its original state if you cancel it prematurely.

They didn't encounter any monsters when they came in, and the golden light on their bodies was not consumed at all. In case there is another battle later, it would be a waste to withdraw early.

"By the way, where are the cultivators enshrined in this Acacia Tower?" asked Fatty Li.

According to his understanding, since something like this happened in Acacia Tower, the cultivators enshrined there should have been the first to come out and deal with it.

But there is no sign of him till now.

"The cultivator enshrined in Xiangsi Tower was injured while fighting against evil spirits some time ago. He is now recovering somewhere else. The madam of Xiangsi Tower spent a lot of money to pay the government office to send people to take care of him during this period of time."

"Do you think Dasha and I would arrive so quickly?"

Places like Red-light District have reversed day and night, disordered yin and yang, and are filled with strong worldly desires, dirty emotions, and resentment, making them extremely attractive to demons and ghosts.

That’s why the four famous towers hired cultivators to take charge.

"Tsk." Fatty Li curled his lips, and that look made Mo Qingxue couldn't help but punch him.

"My lords, actually, when I discovered the explosion, I smelled a trace of evil spirit coming out of Acacia Tower." Xu Qing interrupted.

Mo Qingxue's eyes suddenly turned fierce when she heard this, and she looked at Xu Qing: "Are you sure you sensed a trace of demonic energy when the explosion occurred?"

There was obvious suspicion in the tone of his words.

"I am sure."

Xu Qing pointed at his nose and said, "The Daoist sect needs to open the nine orifices to reach the state of refining essence. I just opened my nose last night, and my sense of smell is at its sharpest right now."

Mo Qingxue didn't react to what he said, but Fatty Li looked at Xu Qing as if he had seen a ghost: "You made another breakthrough?"

"Thanks to Cao Erlang's gift, otherwise it wouldn't have been so fast." Xu Qing said with a smile.

It’s just off the mark!
He seemed to have sensed signs of a breakthrough from Xu Qing the day before yesterday, but he broke through again just two days later? !

Even with the great spirit given by Second Brother Cao, this is too fast!
He is still studying how to absorb that bit of great energy.

Fatty Li rubbed his fat face.

After staying with Xu Qing for a long time, I really can't stand it without a big heart.

This guy is simply not a human being!

Breaking through a realm is as easy as eating and drinking, and he often comes up with methods that are completely out of character for his current realm!

"Mo Qingxue, you should know that I have joined Yuanfu Temple. The man next to me is the new disciple accepted by the master. He has an incredibly high talent." Fatty Li chimed in, "His feeling should be correct."

The same sentence has different meanings when spoken by people of different identities.

It is self-evident who has more weight between the ordinary cultivator and the disciple of the head of Yuanfu Temple. "The nostrils are open, and you can smell yin and yang. I have heard of this ability of Taoist cultivators." Mo Qingxue nodded, "Since you are the disciple of the head of Yuanfu Temple, I will believe you first."

"If your findings are correct, there should have been a monster that attacked Liu Sanniang just now."

"The question is where is the monster now? Did it escape? Or is it hiding in Acacia Tower?"

Fatty Li glanced at Xu Qing unnoticeably. He guessed that Xu Qing should have a way to investigate. After all, even Second Brother Cao's magical Confucianism could not be hidden from him.

But I don't know if he is willing to show it to others.

Xu Qing noticed Fatty Li's hidden gaze, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Judging from his performance just now, Fatty Li obviously has a close relationship with the female constable, but he did not openly reveal his situation to her.

This is good.

At the very least, he felt that in addition to being fellow disciples, Fatty Li was also a person worth making friends with.

"I have a way to find out whether the monster escaped during the chaos or hid in this building." Xu Qing said.

It is true that his natal guardian deity is his trump card, but there are as many as twelve of them in his body.

But maybe because my current realm is not high enough, I can't use them at the same time.

Xu Qing believed that as his realm continued to improve, the number of guardian gods he could command would increase, so it didn't matter much to expose one or two of them to others now.

"Do you have a solution?" Mo Qingxue was a little curious.

She had just been thinking of asking Dasha to go back and ask the "Thousand-Year-Old Crow Eye" to use the power of the Crow Eye's Cave Observation to search for the whereabouts of the unknown monster.

I didn't expect that the master disciple of Yuanfu Temple has such ability.

He is still only in the Jing realm.

She was well aware that the Taoist practice of refining essence focused on solidifying the body and nourishing the essence, and was not good at supernatural powers.

"Yes." Xu Qing nodded, without further ado, summoned the Jiazi God.

A statue of a deity about 12 feet tall suddenly appeared in the room, almost reaching the top. Its huge body exuded a strong sense of oppression.

The dark black armor showed his majestic majesty, and the long-handled heavy axe flashed with a sharp edge. When people looked at it, their eyes hurt.

The constable Dasha next to Mo Qingxue showed a trace of surprise: "What is this?"

There was a strange glint in Mo Qingxue's eyes.

She and Fatty Li are both from a family of generals, but her knowledge is obviously far beyond Fatty Li's. Especially since their family is blessed by the spirits of their ancestors, they are not unfamiliar with this, so they recognized at a glance that this is the image of a great supernatural being.

Xu Qing closed his eyes and tried the same trick again.

Replace your mortal eyes with God’s eyes.

In an instant, Xu Qing's vision changed dramatically. With him as the center, all the scenes within a radius of 100 meters came into view, every detail was clear, and nothing could block it.

Xu Qing focused all his attention on Acacia Tower.

The actual people and objects in the building are peeled away layer by layer, leaving only the most essential and basic flow of air.

In this special perspective, that faint and almost disappearing demonic aura is particularly conspicuous!

Xu Qing followed the evil spirit and traced it back to its source.

"Are you still in Acacia Tower?" Xu Qing suddenly opened his eyes, and the Jiazi God beside him disappeared. "Found it! Follow me!"

Mo Qingxue was stunned: "So fast?!"

Dharmakāyas all possess certain magical powers. When Xu Qing revealed her Dharmakāya, she had already expected that the monster would not be able to escape, but she did not expect it would be so soon!
How long has it been?

Three breaths or five breaths?
