Chapter 5 The Darkness Under the Beacon Tower
Linshan City does not have a curfew at night, and there are armored soldiers patrolling Linshan City. These are also people from the Qingliang Division of Linshan City. They specialize in dealing with weirdos, and also protect Linshan City and all villages or villages protected by Linshan City.
small town.
There are four spirit envoys in the Qingliang Division, as well as many armored soldiers.
However, Chen Mozhi is not here.
What Chen Mo yearns for more is the Shenping Sect, which is another heavy-duty department established by the Qin Tian Jian of the imperial court.
However, Chen Mo hasn't heard that there are people who catch the gods in Linshan City, so he will let this matter go for now.
Chen Mo also discovered many soldiers on duty in the sentry tower. Of course, Chen Mo was also discovered by them. He did not want to cover up and kill the monster, and others did not know his true situation.
Moreover, in the view of the Jinyi soldiers, Chen Mo not only did not cause trouble, but actually helped them.
"Sir, do you want to interfere?" A soldier wearing brocade robes and a sword on his waist said respectfully to the man in front of him.
"No need to interfere. You are a young scholar from the Chen family. He has very good martial arts qualifications. It would be a good thing if he can join our Qingliang Division."
"Besides, it's just that the rich and powerful have nothing to do after they've had enough to eat. If the weirdos under surveillance in our city make any changes, please report them. If this guy from the Chen family wants to meet our target, then stop him in time."
"As ordered, I respectfully present the White Tiger Envoy with the Bronze Medal." The armored soldier bowed slightly and saluted with clasped fists.
The Four Spirit Envoys who sit in a small town like Linshan City all have bronze medals. As for why this armored soldier doesn't just call them White Tiger Envoys, it's because they need to distinguish them.
Only the four great envoys of the Imperial City can be called the Four Spirits. The other four envoys must be prefixed.
"Yes." Zhang Ling, the Bronze Medal White Tiger envoy, nodded, lifted up the Bronze Medal White Tiger brocade robe, flew away from the sentry tower, and went to patrol somewhere else.
Not only Linshan City is like this, but other cities of the imperial court are also like Linshan City. Four envoys in golden clothes sit in the city, and one of them takes turns every day. It is precisely because the imperial court attaches great importance to it that it can ensure the safety of one side.
Relatively peaceful...
By the time Chen Mo sheathed his sword and came to his senses, the sky in the east had turned white, the darkness in the city had long disappeared, and the lights of thousands of houses had long been extinguished.
However, as the lights of thousands of houses were extinguished, the weak flames of the bronze beacon tower erected on a five-foot high platform in the center of the city began to ignite a raging beacon fire.
The fall of night not only made the strange things in the darkness come alive, but also suppressed the beacon tower forged by the imperial court. As the sun rose in the east, the beacon tower also began to regain its vitality.
There were gradually more pedestrians on the street, and many small shops had opened their doors. The smell of steamed buns came from the steam inside the house, which made Chen Mo a little hungry after hunting all night.
Chen Mo touched his belly and said, "Chen Sheng."
"Ah? Young Master, what's wrong? Are you still killing me?"
"No more killing. It's already dawn and we should go back home. Why are you so distracted?" Chen Mo glanced at the stunned Chen Sheng and said with a smile.
"Sir, after so many years, I just opened my eyes today. This weirdo was killed by the master effortlessly." Chen Sheng sighed.
"It's just that I haven't encountered the real terror yet. Let's go home and have dinner." Chen Mo grinned and tightened the chopping knife on his waist.
For Chen Mo, these are really too drizzle.
"Master, please change your clothes first."
"Yes." Chen Mo changed out of his new clothes stained with strange blood, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, straightened his appearance, and then walked in the direction of Chen's mansion.
"Hey, sir, isn't that Captain Li?"
"He is really the eldest brother of the Li family."
"Brother Li?!" Chen Mo called out to the hurried man wearing a yamen arrest uniform with a sword.
"It turns out he is the second brother of the Chen family."
"The second brother of the Chen family has returned from Linshan Academy."
"Linshan Academy has been closed, and the imperial court has established a new academy. I will leave for the new academy soon."
"I wonder why the eldest brother of the Li family is in such a hurry, and the yamen case is so imminent?" Chen Mo asked.
"It can be regarded as a yamen case. Something happened over there in Jingyan Alley again, and the Houni Alley next to Jingyan Alley was also affected. I won't talk to you for now. There are still things to deal with over there. Wait for me to clear up.
I'll treat you to a drink when I'm free." The catcher, Li Min, had a little sadness between his brows.
"Brother Li, you must not get involved. It is not something that the Yamen, let alone the Black Insect Warriors, can get involved in. The best way is to hand it over to the Four Spirit Envoys of Qingliang Division."
After all, the Li family and his Chen family are family friends. Although Chen Mo has never visited Jingyan Alley, the four spirit envoys of Qingliang Division cannot be eradicated. If it is weird, it must be a powerful weird, or it may be something else.
"This big brother knows that I just went to collect the body. Let's not talk about it for now. I have something important to do, so I need to take a step first." Li Min clasped her fists and left in a hurry.
"Master, is the city already so dangerous?" Chen Sheng felt a little panicked. Even the Yamen's arresters couldn't participate. If the big monster Wei, who couldn't be eliminated by the four spirit envoys, went on a killing spree, everyone in the city would be in danger.
"Not yet, but it will be soon." Chen Mo shook his head slightly, thinking of his elder brother's letter, Chen Mo felt that something big would definitely happen in Linshan City, and maybe there was a ghost hiding in Linshan City.
Thinking of this, even Chen Mo felt terrified. It's not something you can get used to after facing it many times. Each time you face it, you will have a different experience, but the horror that penetrates into your soul cannot be erased.
"Let's go. This matter is not your concern. In the worst case, we will move our family to the capital."
In a private house deep in an alley somewhere in Linshan City, a faint black mist filled the house, and even the sun could not shine in.
After what seemed like a long silence, a shadow sitting among them spoke.
"How did this kind of weirdo who can't control himself get let in? Has our secret passage been discovered by other weirdos?"
"It should not have been discovered. I guess it must be other weirdos in the city, or they used other secret passages to enter the city."
There were five shadows surrounding the square table, hidden in the black mist, and their appearance could not be seen clearly.
"It's all because of that weirdo in Jingyan Alley who went on a killing spree that led to the entire Linshan City being under martial law. Even we have to consider cannibalism." A voice that sounded like an immature child said.
"How about we move away?" The heavy middle-aged male voice said hesitantly.
"You guys want to move, but I won't move. I finally got into Linshan City. It's such a good place. As long as I'm careful, I won't be caught eating people. I can't bear to do it." A charming voice sounded, which made people's hearts itch.
, but after all, they are all weird.
"Besides, this secret passage was discovered by the five of us together. If you move away, you have to forget about the secret passage, otherwise, hum!"
"Everyone, just settle down and let's discuss the matter of moving away later. No matter how tight the martial law is in the city, we can still live well. The main reason I'm calling you today is to tell you not to go to Jingyan Alley to look for that thing in trouble."
An old voice sounded from the hunched black shadow.
Even this weird person calls the thing in Jingyan Alley this way, so you can imagine what it is.
"I took a look, and just one look made me feel scared. It was definitely not the same kind of thing as us. That thing actually made me feel scared. If I hadn't walked fast, I might have died.
"
The other four weirdos didn't say anything. Among them, the old-voiced one was the strongest. Even if he said this, they were definitely no match.
As for what it is, that's not their concern.
They only care about whether they can eat people and whether they can avoid the inspections of the four spirit envoys.
"Restrain your men and don't go to Jingyan Alley to cause trouble, otherwise you will die."
"This place can no longer be used. Next time we will go to the third secret meeting point." ""
"Let's all go if there's nothing else to do."
"Gone..."
"Um."
Swish, no sound was made, five black shadows had disappeared into the house, and a few rays of sunlight from outside could come in. There was a thick layer of dust in the house, and it seemed that no one had lived there for a long time.
