Did he really say that? "the magistrate asked.
"Yes, sir. He said that he is illiterate, but he also told me that he learned his culinary skills from a book." Patrol Guard Liu said.
The magistrate smiled and asked: "What do you think is going on?"
"This subordinate doesn't know" Chief Patrol Liu replied.
The magistrate stroked the bow in his hand and casually said: "This person offered up the bounty as soon as he arrived, knows how to do things, and is a perceptive person. Perhaps he was afraid that you would be embarrassed, that's why he said that"
Chief Patrol Liu sighed: "His archery skills are truly impressive, I was watching from the riverbank at the time, feeling a bit fearful"
The magistrate pondered: "There are quite a few people who know how to use a curved arrow, why do you think he's impressive?"
Chief Patrol Liu thought for a long while before saying: "I don't know either, I just feel that his killing intent is too heavy, enough to make one tremble"
The magistrate pondered.
Even though everyone's strength has been restricted, this person was still able to make old Liu tremble.
This isn't simple at all.
The magistrate pondered: "Seems like his original strength must have been quite decent — — how about this, I'll also attend your welcoming banquet tonight"
"Yes sir" Chief Patrol Liu replied.
At another location.
The small courtyard.
Gu Qing Shan held the Reincarnation Orchid in hand and activated [Invoking Moon].
A line of crimson text appeared:
[As all living beings in the outside world that you are connected to are currently in slumber, there is no way to specify a specific entity]
[Among the living beings that are connected to you, one of them will randomly awaken and appear at the very last moment]
[He will lose all of his strength, leaving only a single ability]
All the crimson text disappeared.
A thin red glow descended in front of Gu Qing Shan, like a gate of light that opened to both sides.
A man of around 50 years of age appeared.
His facial features were deep, his expression was mature and experienced, he wore a black formal suit, a cigarette in his mouth, and a ring full of jewels on his hand.
— — -he had an air of elegance.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he ruined his image:
"What the hell! I was in the middle of studying the mysteries of gender in my sleep, why did you wake me up? "
Gu Qing Shan looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.
"Liao Xing, long time no see" he greeted.
"Long time no see, don't worry, everything is fine in my homeworld, your big bro will be watching over it for you" Liao Xing said.
That's right, this person was the Federation's scientist, the one who faked his death to escape the 9 Lords' pursuit, Liao Xing.
Later, he was persuaded by Gu Qing Shan to come back, and they did many things together.
Liao Xing passed a cigarette to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan didn't take it, so he started to smoke by himself.
After Gu Qing Shan explained the situation, Liao Xing was a bit intrigued: "Although you've forgotten quite a few things, from what I can see, all of the Saint's Chosen's powers have been sealed away, leaving only the remnant power of your body"
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Speaking of this, he was somewhat grateful to Lin.
The martial scripture that Lin had passed on to him was not only mysterious, but also extremely powerful. As long as he pondered over it before cultivating, he would be able to continuously strengthen his body and increase his understanding of martial arts.
Up until now, he hadn't forgotten about this martial scripture.
"I've been away from my homeworld for too long — — what level of cultivation did you reach after that?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Rejuvenation realm" Liao Xing replied.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised: "That shouldn't be, you're an old scientist, your thoughts are meticulous, your understanding is unparalleled, if you really wanted to cultivate, you should've been faster than normal people"
Liao Xing's old face was a bit embarrassed and said: "I originally wanted to catch up to you, but as soon as I reached Rejuvenation realm, my lifespan is several thousand years, and my body is in good health, I couldn't quite grasp it"
"What did you do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Liao Xing seemed to have remembered something and muttered: "I'm the planet's number one scientist, you don't know how many beauties want to learn advanced science and technology from me, the ones with long hair, the ones with big eyes, the ones with thin waists, the ones with black hair, the ones with mature, pure, innocent, innocent — — - tsk, tsk, tsk, I've actually achieved my dream"
Gu Qing Shan rubbed her forehead and asked: "Don't you have a lot of children already?"
"Life requires constant struggle, constantly facing new challenges" Liao Xing shrugged.
Gu Qing Shan stared at him, wishing she could kick him back to where he came from.
But [Beckoning the Moon] can't be used randomly, it can only be used once a day.
Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan directly asked:
"Old Liao, I've explained the situation, is there anything you can help me with?"
Liao Xing muses: "After you left, I made a few more warp bombs, I've been carrying them with me, they can help you blow up a few planets"
"… No need, I only need the ones that are a bit less powerful" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"How powerful?" Liao Xing asked.
"Blow up a building the size of two soccer fields" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Liao Xing: "— — -such a small scale? Then I don't have any left, I only have a ticking time bomb left to use "
Gu Qing Shan said: "Give it to me, then you can go back to sleep"
Liao Xing hurriedly said: "Wait a minute! Let me take a look around this world, I want to understand the customs of this world "
Gu Qing Shan replied: "You actually want to see the women of this world, don't you?"
Liao Xing awkwardly replied: "Ahaha, old Gu, you know me well"
"— — -give me the bomb" Gu Qing Shan put her hand out.
"Here"
"Got it, bye bye"
Gu Qing Shan canceled [Beckoning the Moon] right away.
Liao Xing's figure disappeared from the yard, as if he was never there in the first place.
But Gu Qing Shan now had a box-shaped bomb in her hand.
Gu Qing Shan was also a mechanical researcher, so she spent a bit of time to personally study the bomb.
"What a perfect mechanical structure — — -how could such a talented person be stopped by a woman? I really don't understand "
He sighed, put the bomb in the bag on his back, took the bow, arrows, and long sword, and went out.
…
Dusk.
Lanterns were lit.
The restaurant was already filled with people.
This couldn't be helped, because the Magistrate himself was here today, so of course the banquet was different than usual. The entire restaurant was booked.
The merchants all bowed their heads, not lifting their heads at all as they handed out their gift boxes and red envelopes one by one.
Before the banquet began, all the officials had put down their arrogance and gathered to gamble.
The Magistrate also put down his arrogance and smiled as he sipped his tea.
The good-looking women all forced themselves to smile to hide the uneasiness on their faces, serving the officials while having to endure a bit of groping.
Before they knew it, it was almost time.
The food and drinks had already been prepared.
The Magistrate was the first to stand up.
The gambling stopped. Everyone quickly invited the Magistrate to sit at the head of the table.
"Where's Patrol Master Gu?"
The Magistrate casually asked.
Patrol Master Liu replied: "I don't think he's here yet, he might have overslept, I'll rush him"
"Very well, let's start the banquet first" the Magistrate said.
All of a sudden, an ear-splitting sound resounded across the world.
The entire restaurant shook, quite a few cups and teacups fell to the ground.
Everyone was panicking.
But not too far away, a red light illuminated the night sky.
Flames and black smoke intertwined, like a ferocious beast flying towards the sky.
— — -there's a fire!
That was everyone's first reaction.
Following that, the Magistrate's expression changed.
The officials all paled.
That direction — — -
The government office!
"Everyone, follow me back!" the Magistrate shouted.
"Yes!"
Everyone hurriedly ran downstairs, heading straight for the government office.
Using the shortest amount of time possible, everyone arrived at the government office.
Aside from a few broken walls, the entire government office was flattened.
The fire was still burning.
Thick smoke billowed.
But a single person was standing in front of the government office, holding a bow in his hand, staring at everyone.
"Patrol Master Gu! Did you see what happened here? "the Magistrate loudly shouted.
Gu Qing Shan happily smiled.
He glanced at the smoke and fire behind him, then explained with an introductory tone: "I saw, it's like this — — -"
"I just blew up the government office"
The Magistrate abruptly stopped.
Everyone else also had a look of disbelief on their faces.
"How dare you!" the Magistrate angrily shouted.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively: "Sir, there's no need to worry, I've already collected the seals that the government gave to the villages and towns"
Everyone sighed in relief.
The Magistrate held back his anger and gritted his teeth: "Gu Qing Shan, what exactly are you doing?"
"It's nothing, I've just been staying in the village for a long time, so I often run into ghosts, so as soon as I arrived at the government office, I found traces of ghosts" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — ghosts?
For some reason, a gust of cold wind blew by.
Gu Qing Shan stood under the rubble, giving off a sense of eeriness and suffocation.
Everyone couldn't help but recall the day he came, feeling a chill in their hearts.
On that day, Gu Qing Shan came from afar, holding 9 human heads in her hand in front of the government office.
"You said there's a ghost in the government office?" the Magistrate asked with a grim expression.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Where's the ghost? You didn't blow them up, did you? "the Magistrate mocked her.
Gu Qing Shan was troubled: "They didn't die, but fortunately, I almost blew them out"
"What do you mean?" the Magistrate asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I've checked, there aren't any villages within a 100-mile radius that are protected by the seals, so every year, they've been attacked by monsters. Driven by fear, people couldn't help but come to the government office to find a way to survive"
"After this, I'll go to each village and release the seals to protect the Five Elements and ensure their safety"
He tapped the bag on his waist and casually continued: "Each of the seals represents the lives of countless people, human lives are more important than anything else — — I'm thinking that in such a dangerous situation, only those ghosts in human skin would be able to stop me"
There was dead silence.
No one said anything.
So that's what he meant by ghosts.
The County Magistrate's facial muscles kept twitching, and a murderous aura suddenly burst out from his body.
"Gu Qing Shan, you're courting death" the Magistrate said.
"Only ghosts will die today, anyone who's still human can live" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The patrolmen, servants, and officials all exchanged glances.
A few of them sighed and quickly retreated.
The Magistrate's expression changed again.
"Bring me my bow" he ordered.
The bow was quickly presented.
The Magistrate slowly held the bow and shouted: "All of you, go! Kill him and you'll be heavily rewarded! "
"Yes!"
Everyone answered and rushed towards Gu Qing Shan.
The Magistrate stood behind the crowd, slowly waiting for the right time to attack.
Gu Qing Shan threw the bow to one side and held the Blade in his hand.
He stood still, looking at the surging crowd, and softly murmured, "I'm not afraid.
"Advancing forward without fear … I'm starting to understand where the thrill of using a Blade lies"
"… Killing ghosts, I like it"
