The National Manga Alliance started from the Green Snake Tribulation

Chapter 156 Entering Qianzhou

Concubine Ming's expression was calm: "Your Majesty can decide everything.

Emperor Tang calmed down and took a sip of hot tea prepared by the eunuch.

Immediately, he glanced at Concubine Ming again, turned to Taiyin Zhenjun and said: "The national teacher thinks that the endurance of that body is enough to keep my body from being broken after completing that step, right?"

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured on this point." True Lord Taiyin replied confidently.

Tang Huang continued to drink tea with his head down and didn't ask any more questions.

……

The snake catching order was really abolished, and Zhou Wu was inexplicably relaxed and happy.

Although, this has nothing to do with him.

After relaxing, there was a crazy explosion of surging pure energy in the body... These all came from the purification of the obsession copied by nearly ten thousand people in Yongzhou.

Zhou Wu was inexplicably delighted. He thought that the next step would be a rapid increase in strength, pushing the White Snake World horizontally. Unexpectedly, most of these energies were sealed up, and only a small part flowed through the whole body to nourish the cells. , to promote the evolution of the organism.

However, he could feel that the part that was sealed up was overflowing all the time, although it was rare and slow, it was continuous.

As long as it's still yours, it's fine.

Although it was unavoidable to be a little disappointed that he failed to reach the peak in one fell swoop, Zhou Wu could understand and accept it.

Moreover, he had a vague feeling that it would be unbearable to rashly absorb such a huge amount of energy in a short period of time before his original strength had reached its peak state, that is, before his physical fitness had fully recovered.

So this is an automatic protection measure of the obsession system?

Feeling helpless for the time being, Zhou Wu put away his distracting thoughts.

But when he was about to practice Taoism, he couldn't help but think of Liu Zongyuan.

Speaking of which, he himself would never have imagined that it would be Liu Zongyuan who single-handedly contributed to the abolition of the Snake Hunting Order...

Originally, he was very disapproving of Liu Zongyuan's behavior, thinking that it was useless effort, how could he persuade the Emperor Tang when he went to the palace to remonstrate?
But didn't expect...

I must accept this kindness, but unfortunately, the deceased is dead and there is no chance to repay it.

So is it because of yourself, did you do something wrong in the first place?Is it because Liu Zongyuan's death could have been avoided?

If you forcibly intervene by yourself.

The more I thought about it, the more chaotic I became, and the cycle of Taoism was no longer as smooth as before.

Half a day later, Zhou Wu became entangled. He could continue to increase his mana rapidly, but because he faintly sensed that his Dao heart was unstable, he didn't dare to practice indiscriminately.

There is no other choice but to go to the palace again to ask Master Yi for advice.

This time, Concubine Ming didn't say anything about cultivation skills, but arranged a task for Zhou Wu.

To understand it with Zhou Wu's modern thinking is: dispatch inspections.

The Datang Monster Hunting Department, like the Star Gazing Department, is an extremely large functional organization, and naturally it is not limited to Chang'an City.

Every state capital in the country has branches, large or small, and Zhou Wu's next task is to choose some of them at will to practice, supervise the work of those branches, and sharpen his Taoism by the way.

Practicing alone is really not enough. Traveling and having sex for free is the right way to live.

Of course Zhou Wu would not refuse this.

After thinking for a while, he went back to the Monster Hunting Division, had a long chat with Cheng Jue, and then confirmed that Cheng Jue's hometown was a place called Qianzhou.

In this state, Zhou Wu searched for past life memories, and it seems that there is no such thing in the Tang Dynasty map section of the official history.

Cheng Jue didn't know why Zhou Wu asked this, but at the end of the chat, he mentioned in passing: "I have traveled all over the years, and I have met many people... I also met one of them, who had the same experience as my childhood, but that person , but not from Qianzhou.”

Zhou Wu was startled... In other words, there was actually more than one Qianzhou that was responsible for the massacre of the city?
After having this suspicion, Zhou Wu went to the palace again to find Concubine Ming, asked for a new token, and then took the token to find the official responsible for recording important events.

However, Zhou Wu was disappointed, but it was actually expected. In the Memorabilia of the Tang Dynasty, there was no mention of any city being slaughtered by monsters.

In desperation, Zhou Wu could only read the state records one by one.

This kind of thing is also not recorded in the official state records of the Tang Dynasty, but it can be inferred from clues.

For example, in Qianzhou, a few years after the city was massacred, it was recorded in the state annals that large-scale construction was carried out, natural disasters continued, and the imperial court took in refugees.

However, Zhou Wu specifically checked the records of another state near Qianzhou, only to find that the other state did not encounter any natural disasters at all in the same year.

And no matter how close the two states are, even in terms of geographical environment, they are completely consistent.

Following similar clues, after reading through the vast sea of ​​books for several days, Zhou Wu finally found two other targets.

The cities in those two states should have also been massacred, but because their size was far inferior to that of Qianzhou, the demon hunting department had not encountered any orphans from those two cities.

Of course, it is also possible that Zhou Wu didn't know about it. After all, he only copied the obsession of the soldiers he led.

After returning to the Monster Hunting Division and cleaning up briefly, Zhou Wu left Chang'an and went to Qianzhou.

Qianzhou after reconstruction.

It seems that because of the massacre of the city that year, the weather in Qianzhou is always cold and cold, and it is easy to get sick after living for a long time. Although it is a small cold or the like, it still makes people uncomfortable.

Therefore, although the state city has been rebuilt and the buildings have taken on a new look, the prosperity here is far from what it used to be. On the contrary, the surrounding villages and towns have developed well over the years.

According to what Cheng Jue said, most of the residents in these villages and towns are orphans after the city was destroyed. Because they don't like the environment in the city but miss their homeland, they live in the surrounding area of ​​Qianzhou.

In ancient times, it was not popular to "drift" in various big cities, so after all, there were only a few people like Cheng Jue who worked in Chang'an to make a living.

After Zhou Wu went to the local demon hunting branch to show his face, he ran outside and wandered around.

It turned out to be an inspector who was just trying to make a fool of himself. All the officials in the Qianzhou Demon Hunting Division breathed a sigh of relief.

Monsters have spirits, and after taking shape, their wisdom is no less than that of humans. Monsters with tricks naturally understand the ways of the human world. Every year around Qianzhou, several hilltops will pay tribute to the Qianzhou Demon Hunting Branch. After gaining benefits, the Monster Hunting Division made concessions, allowing them to catch people for food in a controlled and regular manner within a certain period of time.

Of course, Qianzhou is not just a demon hunter who has the final say. The real controllers are those people in the state capital. Therefore, in exchange for equivalent value, besides giving money, the nearby monsters will also do some good things, such as helping to exterminate the surrounding bandits , rogue bandits, to help kill some Jianghu people who are wanted by the court.

So in a sense, these man-eating monsters actually contributed to Qianzhou's current stability.
