Chapter 21 The First Family
Government office.
Side hall.
The appearance of a strange man and woman forced Li Nuo to take a closer look.
When Qin Beitian saw Li Nuo coming, he quickly put down the case files in his hands and introduced with a smile: "You two, this is Li Nuo, our capable general in Yuzhou Prefecture, Team Leader Li. Brother Li, this is the superior officer next to you. It's Bei Yue Feihuai, the head of the Criminal Department, and this little girl is Qin Xiaolou..."
Qin Xiaolou, who looked to be in his teens, looked at Li Nuo curiously while eating candied haws.
Beiyue Feihuai has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and a sword hanging from his waist. He is both upright and arrogant. He is about thirty years old.
Li Nuo was a little surprised.
Beiyue...
This is the number one cultivating family in the Dayin Dynasty!
"Captain Qin, the expert in investigating crimes you mentioned is just a prison guard? How capable can he be?"
With that said, Beiyue Feihuai directly grabbed Li Nuo's shoulder with his grappling hand.
Obviously, he didn't quite believe Qin Beitian's words and wanted to try Li Nuo's skills himself.
Li Nuo is certainly not a person who is willing to suffer losses. Since the other party is not polite, there is no need for him to show mercy.
If he didn't advance, he retreated. His shoulders sank, and he hit Beiyue Feihuai with a Taishan leaning force.
Of course, the two only used their moves and did not use their Qi machines. They were competing to see who had more combat experience.
Bei Yue Feihuai's eyes were slightly surprised. Li Nuo's move was obviously beyond his expectation, so he had to change his move halfway, turning half sideways and retracting his arm to block.
boom!
The two of them bumped into each other shoulder to shoulder, and each took three steps back.
It seemed like they were evenly matched, but in fact Beiyue Feihuai suffered a heavy loss.
Warriors have rough skin and thick flesh, which gives them a great advantage in close combat. Beiyue Feihuai is a master of swordsmanship and is good at swordsmanship.
"You two, stop it, business is important..."
Qin Beitian quickly stopped him, then threw the case file to Li Nuo and said, "Brother Li, hurry up and read the case file. Time is running out."
Li Nuo took the case file and browsed it quickly.
The case is not complicated.
People have disappeared from time to time in Chang'an City, but recently it has become more and more serious, which has aroused the vigilance of the government. After investigation, it was discovered that a mysterious organization was abducting people.
And with in-depth investigation, the person behind the scenes emerged, and it turned out to be a monster!
However, the demon was very alert and killed the city gate guard and escaped overnight before the government laid a dragnet.
The Ministry of Punishment was furious and immediately sent experts south to capture the monster.
The case fell on Bei Yue Feihuai, the head of the Criminal Department.
Following the tracking, it was discovered that the demon went south and came to Yuzhou City. However, after arriving in Yuzhou City, this clue was immediately cut off.
"The case file says that this demon can conceal its aura and escape Lord Beiyue's perception?"
Li Nuo was a little surprised.
Although the fight lasted only a moment, he could vaguely sense that Beiyue Feihuai's strength was not weaker than his.
"I can sense its aura, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pursue it for thousands of miles. But after arriving in Yuzhou, its aura suddenly disappeared. I suspect that it must have hidden somewhere that can block my perception."
The Sword Sect and the Taoist Sect are of the same lineage, cultivating the soul, so they are extremely sensitive to aura.
Li Nuo smiled and said: "There are not many places that can shield Lord Beiyue's perception, but our [Purgatory Tower] can do this."
"The demon is so clever, how could he fall into a trap?"
Qin Beitian glared at Li Nuo and signaled him not to act carelessly.
Although Beiyue Feihuai was a little arrogant, after his previous fight with Li Nuo, he generally recognized his strength and asked seriously: "Aside from the [Purgatory Tower], what else is special about Yuzhou City?" ?”
Li Nuo said: "A brothel or a wharf, where people come and go and the atmosphere is disturbed, is a good place to hide people."
Qin Beitian smiled bitterly and said, "I sent people to carefully check the place you mentioned yesterday, but no trace of the demon was found."
"I heard that the white snake demon is hiding in the brothel and the boat, didn't Master Qin fail to find out?"
Li Nuo teased.
Qin Beitian's face turned red.
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
However, Qin Beitian also understood that Li Nuo was dissatisfied with him for not trying his best to rescue him from prison, so he used words to flatter him.
However, he did his best to deal with the aftermath. Otherwise, if a dignified seventh-grade military attache died unexpectedly, how could Magistrate Chen not take care of it?
Qin Xiaolou glanced at Li Nuo and said in a crisp voice: "I made a gadget to detect evil spirits. Mr. Qin took it to check brothels, docks, and markets and teahouses in crowded places. I didn’t sense the evil spirit.”
This time it was Li Nuo's turn to be surprised.
This girl who seems to be younger than Qiluo can actually make an instrument to detect evil spirits?
So awesome?
Seeing Li Nuo's defeat, Qin Beitian felt very happy and said with a smile: "Brother Li, don't look down on Miss Ying just because she is young. She is the inheritor of Mo Dao!"
In that era when a hundred schools of thought contended, although Mohism was not as good as Confucianism, it should not be underestimated.
Especially the mechanism technique, it is very magical.
However, Dayin was based on Confucianism and respected Taoism.
The Mo Dao naturally became a small path.
This is also the reason why Cui Liyan was criticized by Li Nuo as a plaything and a loser.
In fact, the main reason is that the practice of Mohism is much more difficult than that of Confucianism. It is difficult for those who are not super talented to make a name for themselves.
Qin Beitian continued: "The characteristics of this demon are that its magic transformation is extremely powerful, and it releases a very special evil spirit during battle, which instantly limits the opponent's cultivation. This is also the main reason why it can escape from trouble. . Lord Beiyue has fought against it head-on."
"I wonder what level of cultivation Master Beiyue is?"
Li Nuo asked bluntly.
In fact, it is very impolite to directly ask others about their cultivation level.
Beiyue Feihuai was slightly unhappy, but in order to solve the case, he could only endure it for now.
He replied: "The way of swordsmanship, the fifth-grade soul leaves the body!"
The Sword Sect and the Dao Sect are connected by the same lineage and have the same levels. But you can't just pick up a sword and call it kendo. It's still a martial arts at best.
The fifth level of swordsmanship, a complete master!
As for entering the third level realm at the age of thirty, that is a monster that is rare to see in a thousand years and will not be discussed.
Li Nuo analyzed: "It's a monster that knows illusions, has a demonic aura, and can run very fast. This kind of monster is really rare."
Beiyue Feihuai said a little disappointed: "So you don't have any thoughts?"
Qin Beitian said hurriedly: "Master Beiyue, please be patient. Li Nuo is very good at dealing with monsters. Why don't you let him calm down and think about it first?"
Li Nuo asked again: "By the way, you just said that the demon kidnapped and trafficked people in order to practice some kind of terrible magic?"
Qin Beitian nodded: "After analysis by the Taoist sect, it is found that human blood is used to refine a strange blood pill. Once consumed, the cultivation level can be improved by leaps and bounds. Do you have any ideas?"
Li Nuo smiled and said: "I'm not sure yet. So, give me half a day to confirm some things personally."
Beiyue Feihuai immediately became energetic: "Half a day?"
"Half a day is enough. Let's do this for now. I'll go back and get something..."
After Li Nuo finished speaking, he turned and left.
Beiyue Feihuai curled his lips, looking a little disdainful.
He is the proud son of heaven. No matter where he goes, he is always surrounded by stars. Even when he comes to Yuzhou City, the prefect Chen Yuyan immediately holds a banquet to entertain him.
Who would have thought that a small jail guard could speak so rudely.
Qin Xiaolou, on the other hand, had a lot of curiosity on his pretty face.
This made Beiyue even more unhappy!
In fact, speaking of it, he is Qin Xiaolou's future brother-in-law!
However, his sister-in-law did not admire him, but became interested in other men. He couldn't bear to lose face!
But he couldn't control it even if he wanted to.
Although my sister-in-law is young, she is a little witch in Chang'an City. She has played tricks on many people with the Mo family's mechanisms...
