Qiu Zu: From an apprentice in a medicine shop to an immortal ancestor

Chapter 137: Corpse Reincarnation and Destruction

For several days in a row, there were constant movements in Qingmu.

The Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture killed more than ten Yin God masters in the mountains. For a time, the good news shocked the entire Changle Prefecture.

The good news was quickly delivered to Kyoto by spirit pigeon and reached the emperor, who was very pleased.

His Majesty has high praise for the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture and its commander Wei Tanzhi.

The previous controversy surrounding Wei Tanzhi's unfavorable situation suddenly disappeared.

It even became evidence that Wei Tanzhi had been "wronged".

After all, the Qingmu territory is full of fairy signs, attracting the attention of all the people. Demons and evil spirits swarm in, stirring up chaos. It is not easy for Wei Tanzhi to do his job, so some small misunderstandings are normal. It is wrong for all parties to call for fighting and killing.

The wind direction in the court changed, and Wei Tanzhi was praised endlessly.

Seeing that the commotion in Qingmu territory was getting more and more serious, the Kyoto Demon Suppression Headquarters dispatched more innate masters to the Changle Prefecture Demon Suppression Headquarters, further increasing its support for Wei Tanzhi.

For a time, Wei Tanzhi was in the limelight, completely changing from his low-key attitude a few months ago.

With the clues obtained from killing the Yin God master, the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture took continuous actions, and launched actions one after another to wipe out the spiritual practice forces lurking in various places in Changle Prefecture. They killed people in large numbers, confiscated homes and wiped out households, with a huge scale.

Aoki County Government Office, backyard study.

"That's unreasonable!"

Liu Zhongchang slammed the table in anger, his hair standing on end, and the pen holder on the table fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"what happened?"

Outside the study, Liu Wanqiu, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, walked in. Seeing the furious Liu Zhongchang, she was surprised:
"Brother, what happened?"

Seeing that it was his sister, Liu Zhongchang suppressed his anger and waved his hand:
"It doesn't matter."

Liu Wanqiu was a little surprised.

Others may not know, but she is very clear that her eldest brother has always been gentle and elegant, and has cultivated his character. He remains calm even when a mountain collapses in front of him. He has good skills in cultivating his qi and rarely gets angry.

"Brother, who made you so angry?"

"Of course it's the Demon Suppression Division."

Liu Zhong suppressed his dissatisfaction and said:

"Wei Tanzhi has taken advantage of his recent achievements and the high praise from his superiors to go too far these days, making frequent moves and causing trouble everywhere."

"Wealthy merchants or small country tycoons, the Demon Suppression Division will not let any of them go."

"I finally persuaded many martial arts sects to move to Qingmu for development, but he also got involved everywhere, using chicken feathers as a token of support, and making a big fuss out of a clue that had no basis, causing chaos in Qingmu."

Liu Zhongchang talked incessantly, his words filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

As the chief official of Aoki County, he worked hard to attract powerful people and big merchants from all over the country to do business in Aoki County, and invited martial arts schools to strengthen local forces, promote the martial arts spirit of Aoki County, and gradually strengthen and develop Aoki County.
Over the past year, Aoki County has been thriving and doing very well under his governance.

However, Wei Tanzhi's actions undoubtedly undermined his political achievements.

Allowing the Demon Suppression Division to stir up trouble and create unrest among the people will undoubtedly have a great impact on Qingmu's development.

"Wei Tanzhi must be using this as an excuse to get money. The Yulong soldiers wouldn't do private work for nothing. He's probably collecting money for rewards."

Liu Wanqiu knew the inside story and sneered:
"This is a great opportunity. He took the opportunity to collect more. He will have a way to ask experts for help in future missions. I'm sure there will be no peace in Qingmu in the future."

Liu Zhongchang fell silent after hearing this.

How could he not know this?

The conflict between the local government and the Demon Suppression Bureau has a long history.

The Demon Suppression Division has enormous power, beyond the jurisdiction of local judicial institutions, and is simply beyond the control of local officials without any ability.

Generally speaking, the county magistrate was a seventh-rank official, and in some wealthy "upper counties" he was honored as a sixth-rank official.

Qingmu County was an important place, and his position as county magistrate was of high rank, "sixth rank". Apart from the "fifth rank" county magistrate of Chi County in the capital, his "Qingmu County Magistrate" was extremely important.

However, Wei Tanzhi, as the commander of the Demon Suppression Division of Changle Prefecture, is a fifth-rank official, one level higher in rank.

In the entire Changle Prefecture, only the Palace Master could suppress Wei Tanzhi. However, Wei Tanzhi was in power at the moment, so even the Palace Master had to stay out of the spotlight, let alone him.

"Brother, Wei Tanzhi is very popular now, it's not good to confront him."

Seeing her brother nodded, Liu Wanqiu didn't say much and immediately changed the subject and asked:
"I heard from Cui'er that you have something to talk to me about, brother? I guess you didn't come to discuss the governance of Qingmu with me. As for the governance of a place, I can't help you much."

"Of course it's not this."

Liu Zhongchang shook his head and looked at his sister:
"That's right, my father sent me a letter asking me to send you back to Changlefu City!"

"Send me back? No, I won't go. I'm living very comfortably in Aoki and don't want to go back."

Liu Wanqiu refused without even thinking about it.

After coming to Qingmu, she has had continuous good luck with immortals.

In just half a year, she first obtained the [Five Elements Treasure Gourd], and then inherited the swordsmanship from the Pure Yang Emperor Lu Zu.
There were various connections and the path to immortality was very bright, so there was no way she would be willing to go back home.

"This time, my father was very determined and made stern threats. He told me to take you back even if I had to."

"Brother, talk to father again."

Liu Wanqiu patted her eldest brother's arm:
"Brother, you are very capable and your words are effective."

"It's no use."

Liu Zhongchang waved his hand and shook his head:

"This matter is related to Wei Tanzhi. You have a good talent for martial arts, but you have not yet achieved a breakthrough. You are still unmarried, which has already attracted attention. People suspect that you are practicing Taoism. In recent days, the Demon Suppression Division has been active, and many people in the city have criticized you."

"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the elders of the clan went to my father to discuss your marriage, so as to prevent you from being targeted by the Demon Suppression Department."

"Your marriage is a matter of your parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. As your brother, I have no say in it. How can I help you? If I say too much, it will only cause gossip."

"This"

Liu Wanqiu was speechless, and she also knew her brother's dilemma.

"Brother, I understand. I'll go back and think about it."

Liu Wanqiu is obsessed with swordsmanship. Not only is her swordsmanship sharp, but she is also decisive and efficient in dealing with things.

After knowing that her brother was in trouble, she said nothing and left.

"Eh!"

When Liu Zhongchang saw his sister leave sadly, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

In the courtyard at the backyard of the government office.

Liu Wanqiu was heavy-hearted, and her face was completely devoid of the joy she had shown in the past few days at having the chance to become an immortal. Her eyes were filled with hesitation and reluctance.

Needless to say, there was hesitation.

Right now, she has only two paths in life.

One is to obey the marriage arranged by her family, become a wife and a mother, and temporarily avoid the attention of the Demon Suppression Division.

This road is not a good one.

Not to mention that she didn't want to marry casually, even if she followed her family's arrangements and got married, there would always be a risk of her cultivation being exposed in the future.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to simply "transmigrate" and cut off worldly ties.

But her heart was filled with reluctance.

I miss my parents, my brother, my family and friends, and every familiar sight and thing at home.
Letting go is not an easy thing for anyone.

"I didn't expect that this day would finally come."

Liu Wanqiu sighed slightly. She was decisive in her actions. She used her wisdom sword to cut off the reluctance and attachment in her heart, and reached for the jade talisman in her sleeve:

"Qingwei, monk, I plan to achieve my goal of severing my earthly ties by transforming my corpse into a body, and I need your help."
