Chapter Eighteen: White Lotus Demon Road

In a blink of an eye, it had been three days since Wang Cheng arrived in Lijiaping Town.

During these three days, the constables walked around and were familiar with the situation in the immigration camps inside and outside Lijiaping Town, and were all a little busy.

When Wang Cheng was visiting various places, he took the opportunity to inquire about some information he wanted to know.

According to his inquiry, after the thirty-mile area around Xiaochen Village was assigned to the forbidden area, the Tiqi and the imperial soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division set up camps in all directions and sent people to take turns to patrol day and night to prevent the ghosts in the ghost village from coming out and ravaging the villagers, and also to prevent the villagers from running back secretly and feeding the ghosts.

It was also a few days ago that he had been practicing martial arts in the Tiger Martial Arts Hall. Otherwise, the 600 soldiers who came from Danling Prefecture City would have passed through the county town and joined forces with the 200 soldiers in the county town to Dasang Township.

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, prefectures and counties can recruit a certain number of prefectures and county soldiers to guard the county town according to the population and territory size, and the prefectures and county lieutenants are responsible for commanding and training.

These prefecture and county soldiers are under the jurisdiction of the imperial court's Ministry of War. Unless they receive the order of the Ministry of War, they will never be allowed to leave their prefecture and county.

Dantu County belongs to Zhongxian County and maintains the number of county soldiers with 400 people all year round.

Whether it is the government soldiers or the county soldiers, they are recruited from strong people, and the army will also teach basic martial arts to practice, which makes the number of warriors in the army very large.

This kind of soldiers cooperated with the Demon-Suppressing Cavalry to act together, and it is not difficult to deal with a small number of ghosts below the evil spirits.

After Wang Cheng found out the news, his heart was cold.

He originally thought that if the Demon-Suppressing Secret Cavalry did not patrol the forbidden area strictly, he would see if he could go there secretly at night and find an opportunity to lure some ghost-level ghost-level ghosts out to kill them.

Now that he knew that the Demon-Suppressing the Demon-Suppressing the Crown and the imperial soldiers were patrolling there day and night, his method was obviously difficult to operate.

"Brother Cheng, do you have any worries? Why do you always see you distracted today?"

On this day, Wang Cheng and Liu Fei went on the street to patrol together. Because he was thinking about how to find ghosts to kill and obtain merit, he was a little distracted, so he bumped into several passers-by on the road. Seeing this, Liu Fei finally couldn't help but look at him and asked.

When Wang Cheng heard his question, he couldn't help but take a deep breath to restrain his mind, then looked at him and shook his head slightly and said, "There are some troubles that are difficult to solve, but Liu Fei, don't ask. With the strength that you don't have in warriors, it's impossible for me to help me."

When Liu Fei heard what he said, he immediately curled his lips with some displeasure and smiled coldly: "Who, Brother Cheng, who do you look down on? What's wrong with a warrior? A warrior is also a human being, and he will still die when he slashes his neck with a knife!"

Wang Cheng did not argue with him, but said lightly: "Instead of putting your strength on this verbal skill, you might as well practice martial arts more diligently after you go back in the evening and use actual results to slap me in the face."

Liu Fei's face suddenly collapsed and he lost his spirit.

He was really not interested in practicing martial arts and felt repulsive from the bottom of his heart.

He couldn't help but look at Wang Cheng with a grievance and said, "Brother Cheng, you have really changed, and I have become a little stranger to me. You were not like this before!"

Wang Cheng's heart was terrified, his face changed immediately, and he sighed in a low tone: "Yes, I have changed. Since I watched my father be killed by a ghost, I have changed. I will never forget that day, that scene!"

When he said this, he clenched his fists, his skin tightly, his eyes tightly closed, and his face looked extremely sad.

He had long known that even if he integrated the original owner's memory, he might be suspected by Liu Fei, the friend, because of some differences in daily performance.

So he had already prepared for this situation and pretended to be a young man who was striving to fight for his revenge for killing his father, which was the plan he had already made.

Sure enough, when Liu Fei heard what he said and saw his expression, he immediately put down all his doubts and lowered his head and apologized to him with an apology.

"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng, I didn't mean it just now. I don't know that my uncle's death will have such a big impact on you!"

"Forget it, I know Liu Fei, you have no bad intentions, but I can't accompany you to do those unreasonable things again in the future. We have all grown up and should go our own way!"

Wang Cheng waved his hand, and there was something in his words.

Unfortunately, Liu Fei didn't hear this. After hearing this, he just smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Cheng, you are joking. I have long stopped doing that kind of thing that peeks at the girl's bath."

Then he added silently in his heart: "I can only go to brothels to watch it openly!"

As the two of them spoke, they had already walked out of the village fort and arrived at the immigration camp outside the fort.

A faint smell of shit and urine floated out of the camp, making Wang Cheng frown.

He glanced at the immigration camp composed of thatched huts and burlap tents, and was very dissatisfied with those responsible for resettlement.

The immigrants have limited conditions and are only temporarily living here, so he can almost understand the situation.

However, the feces and urine are all solved in the camp. Not to mention the smell is sensible, but more importantly, it is easy to cause various diseases.

The mortality rate of ordinary people with these immigrants and the poor medical treatment in this world should not be too high.

Unfortunately, although Wang Cheng couldn't stand this situation, he couldn't care.

Their constables were only responsible for public security patrols. If they did such a thing that exceeded their power, they would not tell whether the people would listen to him. Even the officials and landlords would definitely have great opinions on him and even joined forces to sue him.

"The gate of ghosts is wide open, demons appear in the world, and all people are subsided, only the white lotus can save the world..."

Just as Wang Cheng was thinking about whether to go to the immigration camp manager to remind these guys to pay attention to hygiene, a low and ethereal chanting suddenly came into his ears with the wind.

This chanting seemed to have some strange magic power, and after listening, people instinctively wanted to concentrate and listen more carefully.

But Wang Cheng just got distracted and immediately became clear-headed.

"wake up!"

He kicked Liu Fei's leg, who was still distracted, and instantly woke him up.

"White Lotus..."

Liu Fei woke up and opened his mouth to shout, but Wang Cheng quickly covered his mouth.

Then, who soon woke up, nodded to Wang Cheng, pulled his palm away and whispered: "Bai Lian Demon, Brother Cheng, have you heard it? It's the White Lian Demon who is preaching!"

Wang Cheng nodded slightly, then looked at him with a serious look on his face and said, "I'm staring at the White Lotus Demon, you go and inform Li immediately."

"Brother Cheng, be careful. The White Lotus Demon man is unpredictable. Just stare at him from afar. Don't fight with them."

Liu Fei was also in charge of the matter and did not compete with Wang Cheng. After giving a message, he quickly turned around and ran back to the town to summon the news.

After Liu Fei walked away, Wang Cheng did not stare from afar as he said. Instead, he took off his constable suit and hid it together with his sword. Then he applied some mud on his face and mingled into the camp.

He has been famous for the legendary White Lotus Demon. Since he was lucky enough to meet him this time, how could he miss this opportunity?

After entering the camp, Wang Cheng found that everyone in the camp was gathering in the central open space at this moment.

At some point, a small wooden platform was built in the middle of the open space, and a statue of a woman sitting cross-legged on the lotus throne was enshrined on it.

The statue of the woman was not actually tall, only about three feet away, but the wood used was high-quality pineapple wood, and a white silk scarf covered with a white gauze on her face, which looked extremely mysterious.

Under the statue of the Mutai God, a Taoist priest in Ma-clothed dressed in a Taoist robe embroidered with a white lotus pattern was sitting cross-legged on the ground, forming lotus seals on his knees with his hands, chanting the words Wang Cheng and his friends heard outside the camp.

It was also strange that the Taoist priest in Mai was just chanting the same words, but the thousands of villagers sitting around him, from the sixty-year-old men to the three-year-old boy, listened very seriously and had no intention of impatient at all.

wrong!

Wang Cheng's face suddenly changed, as if he had discovered some important clue, his eyes were fixed on the Taoist in Mayi in front of him.

He saw that it was not the villagers who listened seriously, but that these people were all distracted at the moment, as if they were lost.

This was obviously caused by some means by Taoist Ma Yi.

But just as Wang Cheng was staring at Taoist Mayi and trying to figure out how he confuses so many people, the chanting sounds in Taoist Mayi suddenly stopped, and his eyes suddenly turned around and climbed up a stone mill platform to look at him.

"It turns out that it is a minion of the court. Since you have discovered that this Tao exists, you will be incredible!"

Taoist Ma Yi looked at Wang Cheng with a sharp look, and he actually revealed his identity in one whisper. Then he flashed a sharp look in his eyes and shouted loudly: "Where is the Lishi? Take this person with me!"

Suddenly, two men in white who were hiding among the villagers jumped out and quickly rushed towards Wang Cheng.
