Chapter 707 Recognition
"Captain, we are not allowed to kill people casually. Killing everyone will not solve the problem."
"It would be nice to kill him, but who will pay for it with the spirit stone?"
Said the monk who put the shackles on Lu Jing.
"Then it's the people who have to be killed."
"What's the meaning."
"See for yourself." Zhong Han kicked the head at his feet and hung it on his hand.
He used his spiritual consciousness to sweep it away and sneered: "The Nascent Soul-level imitation puppet has very old components. It is difficult for him to control this antique with the distraction method even if it carries an imitation spiritual treasure."
"I don't even know if the person controlling this imitation puppet is a human or a ghost."
"Is this developed by Tianji Pavilion?"
The Jindan monk next to him said in surprise: "It is said that the imitation puppet does not require the same level of cultivation control. As long as you are familiar with the distraction method, you can use the Yin Shen to control it remotely. Then the cultivation level of the person behind him... "
"Who knows." Zhong Han waved his hand slightly.
Unless this thing is traced, it will not be easy to make a judgment.
But it is difficult to trace it.
Daqi Sect is said to be a sect, but in fact it is a huge thing composed of all the pavilions, halls, rudders...
Each department is composed of people. Since it is composed of people, there is no way to achieve good coordination like a sophisticated puppet instrument.
Unless the Holy Lord forces the opposition.
But this is impossible even if you think about it.
While Zhong Han checked the surrounding recording equipment, he asked his men to transport the entire Nascent Soul-level imitation puppet onto the spirit boat.
Seeing what was relayed on the light screen jade slip in his hand, he looked at Lu Jing in surprise as if he had discovered something new and said, "How dare you take action first?"
"Of course I have to take action if my life is threatened?!"
Zhong Han looked at Lu Jing in surprise, thinking that this was another country bumpkin who had come out of nowhere.
Those who dare to take action in the city either have enough financial resources to compensate for everything, or they rely on their own strength and ignore the rules.
Every year, he always encounters a few arrogant people who think that their own strength is enough to cope with everything. However, in the end, without exception, they obediently hand over the spirit stone to atone for their sins.
Therefore, for people like Lu Jing who came to the city for the first time and dared to take action, he only felt that these people were used to living a precarious life.
"He won't take action. You surprised him by taking action."
"He's scared."
"Don't you understand the rules of Tianji City?"
"rule?!"
Lu Jing's voice suddenly became much louder: "I was deceived when I entered the city!"
"The liar has appeared in front of me blatantly, should I remain indifferent and not take action?"
Zhong Han was also quite helpless. It was true that many fraudsters appeared due to security issues. If he couldn't rob, there must be other strategies. However, if he wanted to clear out the fraudsters, he would have to plow the city, and he would also have to clear out the surrounding cities that were guarding the city. Territory City, but Tianji City is too big.
Fraud and fighting might be happening somewhere they don't know, and many things can be solved by the police. It is this kind of large-scale destruction that their law enforcement officers are responsible for.
If not stopped, such damage will continue to increase losses.
"It's really time to take action."
"Then you are still arresting me? And you are going to kill me."
Zhong Han said: "I'm scaring you. As long as you hand over enough spiritual stones as compensation, I won't let you die."
"Next time you encounter this kind of thing, you can report it to the official. Someone at the Yamen will handle it."
Lu Jing didn't say anything more. He had already boarded the small spiritual boat that looked like a fortress.
On the spirit boat, many flying boats could be seen appearing. The puppets that were lowered quickly cleaned up the aftermath of the fighting and the casualties caused by it. The speed of the action was really unimaginable. What made him even more unexpected was that he could not have to go through this in the city. Such a precarious life.
‘Did I really make a mistake? ’ This thought came to Lu Jing’s mind.
If he was weak, the other person wouldn't fight back, but surprisingly, he was very strong and relied on the magic weapon in his hand, so if the person didn't fight back, he would 'die'.
Shaking his head slightly, he dismissed the thoughts from his mind.
He made the right move, but his mistake was not adapting.
Logically speaking, he should first adapt to the local rules and then use the rules to do things.
Killing is just a purpose and should not be a skill that should be used regularly.
This may be why he didn't become the organization's golden seal killer. Even though he used his 'ordinary' appearance and presence to complete many tasks, he still looked too much like a killer.
Such a killer may be able to perform some simple tasks, but he cannot survive for a long time.
Lu Jing leaned on the seat in the spirit boat, closed his eyes and said, "Where are we going now?"
Zhong Han glanced at the speaker and said: "Since you said you know my father, then go to Zhong Mansion. By the way, when the damage report comes out, you have to compensate for part of it. The same goes for the casualties caused by your fighting, or Pay money or be imprisoned."
"Are you rich?" Zhong Han glanced at Lu Jing again.
He looked up and down and frowned slightly.
This poor person does not look like a wealthy person at first glance.
If what the other party said was true, they might even have to pay for the compensation.
A little compensation would be fine. This person is not a good person at first glance.
He must have a good background and may even bring trouble to his family. This is what Zhong Han is most worried about. It should be noted that the Zhong family is not famous in Tianji City.
The people who sit in Tianji City are half-step saints, and venerables are also relatively common.
"Senior brother, what should I do with this puppet?" asked the monk from the Law Enforcement Hall who was also sitting in the spirit boat cabin.
Zhong Han responded without much thought: "Hand it in. If the superiors want to investigate, it's none of our business. We just have to do our duty and don't create unnecessary complications."
The soldiers of the Law Enforcement Hall are also divided into the inner and outer law halls, the inner law is for the sect, and the outer law is for the monks who do not belong to the Daqi Sect. However, they who guard Tianji City are obviously the outer law. Their power is not great, and their strength is relatively mediocre. People will die if they meddle in other people's business.
Leave the small spiritual boat.
Follow Zhong Han's carriage to Zhong Mansion.
Lu Jing kept thinking about what Zhong Han said on the small spiritual boat, so he asked in surprise: "Didn't you say that those who are enemies of Tianji City will be killed without mercy?"
Zhong Han laughed and said: "It's just shouting slogans. If you really kill them all, you will cause trouble. People are most afraid of being different from themselves. If you are too strong, they are afraid that they will unite to run against you. If you are too weak, others will I look down on you, so I have to do things in a high profile and behave in a low profile."
“Didn’t your organization teach you this?”
"Do you know our organization?"
"Your origin is unusual at first glance. You must come from some force. It's not difficult to guess." Zhong Han smiled calmly.
During the silence, Elder Wu's message came to my ears: "Don't be discouraged. You have only lived for a long time. Your past life is completely different from his. Since this man is the son of my old friend, he must also be a disciple of the Great Instrument Sect. It’s normal for disciples from large sects to have higher cultivation and better understanding.”
"The life you lived before is completely different from his."
"We were not born to be tools, nor to be knives in the hands of others."
"We are free."
"Freedom." Lu Jing whispered softly.
He has never thought about this problem. He doesn't even know what he should do after leaving the organization. He knows nothing but killing people. Now it seems that his killing methods are not as good as those of the disciples of the sect, so he is really not something to be proud of.
Mr. Wu didn't say anything anymore. Preaching actually had no effect, so he never said anything to Lu Jing. He felt that it would be better to grow in affairs.
In fact, Lu Jing's original set of principles allowed him to live well in the organization. He didn't know that he had made him understand whether freedom was good or bad.
However, all living beings should always be free.
Lu Jing couldn't help but have a question: "What exactly is freedom?"
Now is certainly not the time to think about these things.
The Zhong Mansion was very large, and there were many servants coming and going. They all bowed respectfully when they saw Zhong Han.
Zhong Han led him to an inner hall. After staying in the wing for a long time, it must have been a few days before Zhong Han took him to a study room to wait. Only then did a middle-aged man of medium build and Chinese character face come out.
The middle-aged man walked to the high seat and sat down calmly. He said with a smile: "Do you know me, little friend?"
"You are..." Lu Jing said in surprise.
Zhong Han, who was sitting aside, frowned and his heart thumped.
This man doesn't seem to know his father.
This is strange.
How could he know his father's name if he didn't know him? Not many people in the city knew his father's name, not even many at home.
It is generally called Tao Hao.
The moment his name was called out, even he reacted for a while.
"I am Zhong Songtang." The middle-aged man with a Chinese-character face said with a smile.
Tu Shanjun's expression changed slightly as he transformed into a ring. This person's spiritual aura was very well controlled, but his cultivation was at least in the late Nascent Soul stage, and might even be at its peak.
I am afraid that such a monk will never be as easy to deal with as the imitation puppet. Moreover, there is a friendship, and what if it fades away?
Tu Shanjun always sticks to his word, but he is not afraid of making malicious assumptions about other monks.
At this moment, even Lu Jing began to ponder.
The monk in front of him looked like a mountain when he sat there, and his demeanor alone told him how profound this person's cultivation was. He had some doubts about the truth of Wu Lao's words, and he didn't know whether this man would miss his old relationship.
If when seeing Mr. Wu, this person has evil intentions, or something else...
Zhong Songtang did not urge him.
Looked at Lu Jing quietly.
However, Mr. Wu in the cloak was very excited and said: "Quickly, recognize my brother."
"this……"
Lu Jing thought a lot in that moment.
He also thought about whether Mr. Wu would stop helping him after they recognized each other. But thinking about the help he had received over the years, he decided to take a gamble.
He gritted his teeth and took off the cloak behind him, and said frankly: "Senior, please take a look!"
"oh?"
Zhong Songtang took a picture of the cloak and scanned it with his consciousness.
I just heard a voice: "Brother Zhong, how nice it is to be separated for so many years."
Zhong Songtang's eyes suddenly widened and he said in shock: "Brother Wu?! How did you..."
An update today.
Sort out the details. I originally wanted to integrate the background of the Eastern Wilderness Great Weapons Sect into the plot, but it was true that due to my limited ability, I couldn't integrate it well.
Will update as usual tomorrow.
