Chapter 152: Muzhou Pattern
"Junior brother!"

Jiang Feiyan flew over.

"Confess and be lenient; resist and be strict. Tell me the truth!
She put her arm around Li Mo's shoulders like a good friend, stared at him with an interrogating look, raised her chin, raised her eyebrows and chuckled.

"You've been hiding your true identity, haven't you? You're actually the sole heir of an ancient family, or perhaps a true disciple secretly trained and sent down to gain experience. If you don't tell me the truth, I'll punish you severely!"

Li Mo rolled his eyes.

"Senior Sister, I do want to."

“Crack, crack, crack!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan immediately started tickling Li Mo.

"I'll make you talk nonsense! It seems you won't talk unless I torture you!"

"Stop scratching, it's so itchy, I'm telling you, I'm telling you, that's enough."

After the battle, it was a rare opportunity to relax, and Li Mo laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

Then he gradually stopped smiling.

"Okay, I admit it. My true identity is actually the reincarnation of a Mahayana saint. In this life, I aspire to become the proud son of the Great Qian Kingdom and the savior who protects peace in the Mountain and Sea Realm!"

Jiang Feiyan looked at Li Mo in amazement, and there was silence between them for a moment.

"Wow!!"

After a while.

Jiang Feiyan pointed at Li Mo, looking embarrassed, and couldn't help laughing.

"Junior brother, you actually have the nerve to say such things. Why don't you just say you are the reincarnation of an immortal? I feel embarrassed just hearing that. Where is my photo bead? Quick, quick, say it again with that tone and expression."

Li Mo couldn't hold it in any longer and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

After a while.

Li Mo looked at the purple poisonous smoke that had just been spewed out from the skulls. It lingered in the air for a long time. He couldn't help but look thoughtful and took out the Yinshui Pot, a top-grade magic weapon.

He planned to use the Yin water in the pot to refine the hallucinogenic poisonous mist.

After Li Mo's repeated refining and improvement, the quality and power of the Yin Shui Pot have been greatly improved compared to the original one.

"Junior brother!"

Jiang Feiyan came to the core skull that was previously shattered by Li Mo's sword, with a look of astonishment on her face.

Look, what is this?

After Li Mo let the Yinshui Pot refine the poisonous mist on its own, he came to Jiang Feiyan.

I saw a black object appear in the skull that was constantly melting and evaporating.

It looked like a solid piece of muscle, but also had the liquid characteristics of blood. Unlike ordinary evil things, it did not gradually disappear with the death of the evil spirit, but lay quietly on the soil.

"this?"

Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"From what I know, the main cultivation method of the Shenji Sect seems to be able to preserve some of the evil spirits' special organs for a long time. They are then made into mechanical devices, allowing them to control the power of disasters with their own realm. Could it be that this evil spirit's special organ is naturally endowed with the ability to be preserved for a long time?"

Li Mo gently touched the thing with the Thunder Sword, but found nothing special.

Even after being split into two by the Thunder Sword, it can quickly connect into one.

Then Li Mo and Jiang Feiyan used various means to try to completely destroy this thing, but they were surprised to find that even if they tried every possible means, they could not completely destroy this piece of body tissue.

Li Mo even launched the Zhanian Thunder Gun again, but it was still useless.

"How can such a thing exist in the world?"

Jiang Feiyan also used various methods, but failed to destroy the organism. At the same time, she felt a little disgusted looking at this thing.

"Junior brother, why don't you put it away first, and when you meet a disciple of the Shenji Sect again in the future, ask for their advice?"

"it is good."

Li Mo took out a jade box, put it away carefully, and carefully affixed a sealing talisman on it.

If I meet a disciple of the Shenji Sect again in the future, I will definitely ask for their advice.

After a while.

By the time Li Mo put away the Six Ding and Six Jia Void Formation flags, the poisonous fog in the sky had almost been swallowed up by the Yin Shui Pot.

The two of them then returned to the Abandoned Baby Valley together.

The inspectors stationed here saw the two men return and learned that the evil spirit had been eliminated, and they immediately smiled with joy.

Then everyone sorted out the investigation materials of this mission carefully and prepared to submit them to the county town. Then the large group returned to Bai'an City with laughter and joy.

For many inspectors, handling such major cases often involves casualties, so being able to return safely is naturally something worth celebrating.

"That's right, senior sister."

On his way back, Li Mo couldn't help but ask about another matter.

"Do you know the Skyfire Monster?"

"Hey, how did you know him?"

Jiang Feiyan seemed to have heard of this person.

"I happened to hear a friend talk about it."

Seeing Li Mo being so evasive, Jiang Feiyan did not investigate further.

"Our Muzhou's surroundings, besides being adjacent to the Gobi Desert in the east, are also connected to the Great Northern Wilderness in the north, and to the south are the Southern Barbarians and Miao Borderlands. The situation is quite complex. Therefore, in addition to the protection of registered gods, the borders of Muzhou also have the so-called Four Great Independent Cultivators."

Jiang Feiyan looked solemn as she described the situation in Muzhou.

"These four independent cultivators each have reached the Jindan stage of cultivation. They are stationed outside the borders, establishing their own sects in the primitive wilderness of the Southern Barbarians and Miao Borderlands, indirectly protecting the borders of the Great Qian Nation. This old monster Tianhuo is one of them. It is said that the Pacification Division, also one of the Three Divisions, invests a large amount of resources every year to win over and maintain these sects outside the Great Wall."

The court of the Daqian Kingdom can be divided into the central cabinet and three departments and six ministries.

The three departments are the Tianming Department, the Luyin Department, and the Anfu Department.

If you want to establish a sect within the territory of Daqian, you must obtain the approval of the Daqian court and have a sect of cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage to maintain the inheritance and national tradition. You can get huge support from the Daqian court when you start your sect, but you must pay taxes and fulfill various obligations on time every year afterwards.

If you establish a sect outside the Daqian Kingdom, there will not be so many rules.

Even if a cultivator is in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it is not impossible for him to establish his own sect. However, without the protection of the national system, he may be destroyed at any time.

Li Mo pursed his lips.

"Who's more powerful, Master, or the Skyfire Monster?"

When Jiang Feiyan heard this, she was stunned at first, and then she started giggling.

"Of course it's Master who's the most powerful. Not to mention Master's swordsmanship, which is truly superb and invincible, Master's late Jindan cultivation alone is untouchable even for Old Monster Tianhuo. Why are you asking this?"

Li Mo hesitated for a moment and sighed.

"I want my master to do me justice and meet this old monster of skyfire!"

"what?"

Jiang Feiyan immediately asked with curiosity, and Li Mo told her about Lu Cuicui, and Jiang Feiyan was amazed.

She immediately became full of energy and enthusiasm.

"I support you!"

The more Jiang Feiyan looked at Li Mo, the more she liked him, and her eyes turned into crescent shapes as she smiled.

"As expected of my junior brother, you value affection and loyalty. So what if you're a Jindan cultivator? How about this? During the Xiyue holiday this year, I'll go back with you to pay my respects to Master."

"it is good!"

Li Mo felt very warm in his heart and nodded in agreement immediately.

Then he looked curious. "Sister, why don't you find a partner for dual cultivation?"

"Sister, I am now a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. I am only fifty years old. It is not like I have no chance to achieve the great Dao. There is no rush, no rush."

Jiang Feiyan waved her hand.

Li Mo's smile widened.

"Then what do you like?"

"Actually, I used to like people like my master, with his profound cultivation and decisive actions. But as my cultivation level improved, I found myself beginning to like chivalrous people. Gao Zhengyi is not bad, but unfortunately his cultivation level is a bit low, and he is not a disciple of our sect. As for the others, Shi Baihu from Zhanghe County is okay, and Wang Sai from the Law Enforcement Hall is also quite interesting..."

Li Mo laughed as he listened.

Only he, a junior fellow apprentice, could hear Jiang Feiyan express these thoughts.

After chatting for a long time, the two returned to business.

"How do you plan to proceed with the follow-up investigation of this major evil case?"

"First, mobilize the yamen runners and detectives from all over the county to screen for large gatherings. The evil spirit has grown so rapidly since the solar eclipse, so someone must be performing a sacrifice."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Li Mo put forward his own suggestions.

"Why don't we go to the Song family? As far as I know, they have mastered a secret technique of incense infusion. They must know something about this and may be able to help us."

"Row!"

Compared to the Chen family, who are members of the military and are difficult to interact with, the Song family is one of the medium-sized families in the Lingmu Sect, so it is much easier for her to deal with them.

a few days later.

The group returned to Bai'an City.

Jiang Feiyan began to investigate this evil case.

Li Mo brought Lu Tianyou, Zhao Xiaonan and Wang Pan to a famous restaurant in the city and apologized to Wang Pan.

"Let me introduce it to you."

Li Mo smiled and looked at the three of them.

"This is my childhood friend Wang Pan. We studied medicine together in Hua'an Town and grew up together. I brought him to the county this time because I want him to settle down here. Do you have any suitable career options?"

"Are you a doctor?"

Lu Tianyou looked at Wang Pan with a look of surprise on his face.

"I heard the Ministry of Justice is in urgent need of a coroner. Would you like to give it a try?"

"Coroner?"

Not only Wang Pan, but Li Mo was also stunned.

Lu Tianyou explained with a smile.

"It's the coroner. Don't underestimate the medical examiner. From what I've heard, the benefits are quite lucrative, and most importantly, you can obtain the status of a clerk. Our Bai'an County government office has been expanding, and the various departments are seriously understaffed. If you get in now, it will be much easier than in other counties. If you do well in the future, you may be able to enter the Ministry of Justice."

The so-called "Yuanwai" refers to a position additional to the official position. One can also obtain the status of "Yuanwai" by donating to charity, and the status is roughly equivalent to that of a "xiucai".

Although compared to Li Mo, Wang Pan was not a hardworking type during his apprenticeship, he was able to graduate from Jimin Hall and become a pharmacist, which shows that Wang Pan was finally recognized.

At least there is definitely no problem with medical skills and ethics.

At this time.

Zhao Xiaonan also interrupted with a smile.

"Li Zongqi, we've checked the Constable Assessment you asked us to inquire about. It's on December 25th, the day after tomorrow. The assessment is divided into three stages: first, martial arts assessment, then case-solving merit, and finally, recommendation."

Li Mo looked thoughtful and nodded.

He had originally planned to leave for Beikou County to pick up Zhu Wei tomorrow.

However, since he is relatively safe for the time being, and there are still follow-up matters of the great evil case to be dealt with, Zhu Wei, as a foundation-building cultivator conducting a secret investigation, has already sensed the danger, and waiting for two days should not be a big problem.

Then he looked at Wang Pan.

"How about it, are you interested?"

"Then... give it a try!"

Wang Pan didn't have much objection to this.

Li Mo nodded and smiled.

"Then I will go visit the county magistrate tomorrow to see if my reputation as the deputy general is any use to the county magistrate. Then, I will ask my senior sister to send a letter of recommendation to the captain who is in charge of this assessment."

The county government belonged to the Ministry of Personnel of the imperial court, while the Tianming Division belonged to one of the three divisions of the imperial court. The two sides were not in the same system and were not subordinate to each other.

In terms of the rank of court officials, Li Mo was half a rank lower than the county magistrate and belonged to the seventh rank.

Jiang Feiyan's rank was equal to that of a county magistrate.

Day two.

Li Mo came to the county government office wearing a flying bird costume.

Feng, the magistrate of Bai'an County, is over fifty years old.

Although the two had met several times, they only did things according to the rules each time and did not have a deep friendship. Now that Li Mo had something to ask for, he naturally had to lower his posture.

"Master Feng."

"Oh?"

When County Magistrate Feng saw that it was Li Mo, he immediately smiled and stood up.

"Master Li, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you here regarding the evil spirit in Tongchao Town?"

"That's true, but it's not just because of this incident."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Feng was surprised at first, and then gestured for Li Mo to take a seat.

"In that case, let's talk business first, shall we?"

"it is good."

Li Mo took out the document and handed it to the other party.

"This is the document General Jiang asked me to hand over to you. Please immediately dispatch officials from all towns and villages to investigate any consecutive incense-burning and sacrificial activities held from December 20th to December 22nd. If you find anything, please report it immediately."

"Well, I'll send someone to investigate right away."

After discussing business matters, it's time to talk about personal matters.

"I have a humble request. I heard that the Ministry of Justice is short of coroners. A good friend of mine is a pharmacist at Jimintang and is well versed in the diagnosis of life and death. I wonder if you could make some arrangements for him?"

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Feng smiled lightly.

"I wonder if Mr. Li's good friend has a letter of recommendation from the famous teacher at Jimin Hall?"

"Of course there is."

After hearing Li Mo's answer, County Magistrate Feng stroked his beard and shook his head.

"That's easy, Lord Li, you're worrying too much. Bai'an County is currently undergoing a period of vigorous development. Since he has a letter of recommendation from the renowned teacher at Jimin Hall, all you need to do is submit his name, and we can proceed according to the rules."

Li Mo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He immediately expressed his gratitude, exchanged some official terms, and then turned and left.

It seemed that he gained nothing from this visit, but Li Mo, who had already gained a preliminary understanding of the ways of officialdom, understood that the results of paying a visit or not would be very different.

Wang Pan’s matter is almost certain to happen.
