Mortal Mirror

Actually, in the many days since coming back, Li Ergou hadn't told everyone what he was planning to do, because he was afraid of making them sad. Now that he was about to leave, it wouldn't be good not to say anything.

To his surprise, the thirteen young men of Wanglong Village were determined to follow him. Dabaixiang and Xiwa also swore to follow him to the death. Unfortunately, Chen Bajin had an eighty-year-old mother above him, a crowd of children below, and a large group of concubines to support. His family was too big, and he couldn't leave, so he could only sigh.

He could naturally take those who wanted to go with him. After all, he had plenty of money. Besides, he would really need some trustworthy helpers in the new place, so Li Ergou didn't refuse.

To his surprise, the next day, Haorenda, Shage, and Lu Yun came to him, also hoping to go with him.

When he had a chance to come back, he could relive his time in Yu City.

So, he handed the mountain over to Chen Bajin to manage, which made the money-loving Chen Bajin extremely happy.

In the end, he still had to leave. He took a few of the tricolor chickens and a few of the spirit fish. The rest he left to Chen Bajin, telling him to take good care of them, so that if he ever fell on hard times, he would still have some capital.

On the day of departure, Chicken King, Dog Strong, Black Cat, Black-Bearded Goat, and the seven cloned sheep that were left from the beginning acted as laborers, pulling everyone away.

As they were about to leave the city, Ye Wanwan looked back, feeling a little reluctant, and said, "Alas, are we finally leaving forever? Ergou-ge, what is the capital like?"

"I don't know either, but it must be very, very big."

Just then, at the city gate, countless torches suddenly lit up. The prefect, the military commander, and others, leading countless constables and some villagers, appeared in the darkness.

Li Ergou looked at everyone in slight surprise. He really didn't expect them to come to see him off.

The prefect laughed and said, "Li Ergou, you're leaving so sneakily. Could it be that you look down on us people of Yu City? This is still your hometown after all. If you really become successful in the future, don't forget the villagers of Yu City."

At this moment, Li Ergou's eyes inexplicably warmed. After all, this was also a part of his homeland. He nodded and said, "Alright, I will remember your words, Lord Prefect. Thank you all for seeing me off. We will meet again someday."

In the crowd, Deputy Constable Meng Xiaoyu and Chief Constable Li Tianhai also stepped forward and said, "Ergou, take care."

Countless villagers of Yu City were grateful for Li Ergou's efforts to eliminate evil and eradicate wickedness, which allowed the people of Yu City to live days without fear. Everyone waved goodbye to him.

Seeing this scene, Ye Wanwan couldn't help but whisper to Li Ergou, "Ergou-ge, it's so touching. Look, there are still many people who remember you."

Li Ergou nodded proudly and said, "Yes, this feeling is really good. So, in the future, your Ergou-ge will still be a good person, a really good person."

At this moment, he looked up at the starry sky, and the countless stars were shining brightly. Li Ergou knew in his heart that from today onwards, he would embark on a new journey, to an unimaginable place, and an unknown future.

Perhaps, his life would also open a new chapter for this. Young man, go and fight! The mountains are high and the road is long, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, you must bravely break through, right?

Afraid? Would Li Ergou be afraid? He always firmly believed that his life was worthless, so he would not be afraid. He just said deeply, "Divine Dragon Hall, here I come."

The capital, the national capital of Daxia, is also the largest city in Daxia. The entire capital is built around Tianqiong Mountain. Tianqiong Mountain has a domineering name, but it is not particularly tall, only about a hundred zhang high. The entire top of the mountain has been flattened by great magic power, forming a huge platform.

It covers an area of more than ten thousand zhang, and there is a continuous stretch of palaces and pavilions. This is where the imperial palace of the Daxia Dynasty is located.

The huge imperial palace is lit all night with ten-thousand-year fish oil extracted from the bodies of the Donghai mermaids. This fish oil is very resistant to burning. Once lit, it will never go out for ten thousand years. Therefore, the entire imperial palace is brightly lit every night, like a lighthouse in this giant city, illuminating the hearts of the entire capital.

The Divine Dragon Hall is the most mysterious institution under the imperial power. It can be said to be specially permitted by the imperial power and has the right to act first and report later. The master of the Divine Dragon Hall is even more mysterious and elusive.

He is one of the most trusted people of the current emperor, Zhou Buhui.

Under the Divine Dragon Hall, there are eight departments, also known by everyone as the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons.

They are respectively responsible for intelligence gathering, supervision of all officials, suppressing demons, eliminating monsters, catching ghosts, quelling rebellions, and leading celestial phenomena.

Anyway, as long as he wants, he can manage all the things in the world. It is simply another existence of imperial power.

On this day, in the Divine Dragon Pavilion, a tall man with a majestic face and exuding an incomparably powerful aura of kingship was reading a secret letter.

This was passed up layer by layer from below. The man looked at the secret letter for a moment, slightly surprised, because this letter was actually written to him by the Great Divine Official Cui Bancheng, who was far away in Shanhai Ju.

Seeing these three words, he couldn't help but fall into a trace of memory. That was still thousands of years ago, when two best brothers eventually parted ways because of their respective goals.

He didn't expect that after cutting off contact for many years, he would make an exception to write him a letter for an unknown little person.

"Li Ergou, humph, just a small Yuanying stage disciple, is he worth you doing this? Could it be your illegitimate son? But this makes me very interested."

He waved his hand and told people to quickly find Li Ergou's file.

In a moment, information about Li Ergou appeared in his hands. Of course, it was all official records. Li Ergou: born into slavery, originally a servant of a landlord's family, became a martial artist at the age of seventeen and became a small constable in Kushui County. In the same year, he was promoted to small constable, constable, deputy chief constable, and chief constable.

Achievements: In the year of Yiyou of Daxia, he killed the Jindan stage Great Turtle in Laolong Pit in Wanglong Village and rescued his superior Huang San.

In the year of Bingxu of Daxia, he led the demon chicken army to defeat the corpse disaster, beheaded the corpse demon, and saved Kushui County from fire and water. He killed tens of thousands of zombies in total. In the same year, he killed the county magistrate's brother-in-law for the sake of brotherhood.

The following year, he was transferred to Yu City, and he repeatedly solved strange cases. As the second constable, he united with the yamen to carry out a beheading operation against the evil forces in Yu City, making his jurisdiction a peaceful place.

In order to rescue the disciples of the academy, he did not hesitate to kill into the home of the prefect of Yu City and beat the prefect's son into serious injury.

This person hates evil like an enemy, and his methods are fierce. He participated in many major events in Yu City and was quickly promoted to Deputy Chief Constable of Yu City.

He participated in the World's First Martial Arts Tournament, obtained the approval of the Xutian Tablet, and became the existence at the top of the Xutian Tablet's ranking. He went to Shanhai Ju and became the first place in the World's First Martial Arts Tournament.

Putting down the information in his hand, to be honest, Zhou Buhui was quite shocked in his heart. A child from a poor family, relying on his own strength, not only climbed all the way up the official career, but was also recognized by the Xutian Tablet. This was amazing.

What he was even more interested in was, what kind of heaven-defying aptitude did this little guy have that made him so powerful?

So, he continued to look at the introduction of the last page of information.
