Chapter 252: Chapter 252
Boom!
The wooden door was knocked open, and two black-clothed and black-masked people rushed in quickly, and there was a sound of rolling and falling things.
"My lord." Soon the two walked out, clasped their fists in salute, "There is no one inside, all valuables have been cleaned up, it should not be long before they left."
"Contact the yamen of the nearby town immediately and search for me!" The gold thread mask said coldly.
"yes!"
The black masks around responded loudly.
Cheng Hui walked out of the alley slowly.
These days, he excluded them one by one according to the list.
Now, some people have finally been ruled out, and a subtle discovery has been made.
'You Shifei, thirty years ago, the whole family was sentenced to extermination for colluding with secret sects.
He was the only one who survived because of fleeing and hiding.
It was later found out that the case of collusion between the You family was purely framed. But the facts of the case have been decided, and the majesty of Lingting is irreversible, so the truth can only be suppressed. '
'This person is born to hate the imperial court. He has committed shocking murders many times. Now he is ranked twenty-seventh on the black list. He is known as a flying bat, and his strength is unknown. '
Cheng Hui went through all the information about this target in his mind.
I became more and more certain in my heart that this You Shifei was probably one of the races chosen by the heavenly girl.
Especially, in recent days, this flying bat has become stronger and stronger.
The masters of the Golden Wing Tower who followed him were beheaded one after another.
Although the Golden Wing Building was much weaker than before after being under the Xizong sect, it was thanks to Cheng Hui's hard work.
The number of spirit envoys has returned to five again. Although the number is not as good as before, these five spirit envoys are all god-worshiping spirit networks, and their strength is one-on-one, which is far more difficult than the previous spirit envoys.
And just like that, one of the envoys suddenly disappeared in the middle of last month while he was still chasing the flying bats.
"From this point of view, this You Shifei must have obtained secret possession. It really is a human race, a good method."
Cheng Hui not only had no regrets when the envoy was killed, but was only happy.
This means that his long-term investigation will finally have results.
Ever since he was tricked by Jin Huan last time, secret storage has become a knot in his heart that he can't get rid of.
And now, finally see the dawn of untie the knot.
"My lord, shall we continue to hunt?" an eagle-level expert at the side asked in a low voice.
"No, since it is confirmed that there is something wrong with this person, we will report the situation to Xizong, and the adults above will make a decision. We will continue to investigate the remaining candidates."
One hundred and twenty-four names, more than half of them have been checked, and now there is a You Shifei.
The rest should be soon.

1187, April.
The Bai Shijiao retreated completely from Daling.
The Pope of Western Italy once again sent a team of missionaries to the capital to meet the Emperor Ling.
Hope to be allowed to preach legally in the territory of Daling and build a church.
Because Daling has freedom of religion and freedom of belief.
The missionaries also tried to persuade Emperor Ling and the royal family to believe in religion in person, and established a long-term cooperative relationship with Western Italy.
In order to eliminate the small-scale friction and misunderstanding that occurred in Erythrina before.
Therefore, Emperor Ling responded: "If you want to make peace with us, in order to conclude peace, you Pope and all the princes and dignitaries should come to see me without hesitation."
The pope's emissary returned in anger.
In May, Xiyi announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Daling.
In late May, the Daling conquest fleet set off from Linzhou Port to West Italy.
Simultaneous army build-up inland, the fourth invasion of Annan.
May 27.
Erythrina Port.
The sky is overcast and cloudy, as if it is close at hand and within reach.
In the bay, many large and small ships are constantly swaying with the waves.
The sails had already been lowered, and the sailors hurriedly spread oilcloth and fur on the surface of the cargo to block the rain.
At the port, the coolies who had unloaded half of the goods, some worked faster.
Some deliberately slowed down, waiting to force merchants to add money.
Erythrina is an urban area close to the port, which belongs to the inner ring.
The inner ring isn't all full of expensive, high-priced new homes. Many old and broken people still stand in it.
Most of these old houses are inhabited by service personnel. Because they are close to many prosperous areas in the inner ring, the distance is short and it is convenient to go back and forth quickly.
One of them is in an old and dilapidated small city called Qingzao.
At this time, in a teahouse formed by merging two stores, there are bursts of crisp and pleasant harp sounds.
An old cat with pitch-black fur lay lazily in front of the teahouse, yawning while listening to the music.
The aroma of tea, human voice, black cat, harp, and ships in the harbor swaying in the wind in the distance.
Everything is connected to form a wonderful and harmonious oil painting scene.
The plaque in the teahouse is round, with the inscription: Mianyunju.
There are six rows and six rows inside, and the tables and chairs are neat and orderly. There are sporadic people sitting and drinking tea.
The harp is gentle and crisp, and even the tea drinkers inside calm down.
Among the seats near the street in the teahouse, there was a table of people discussing current affairs and political opinions carefully in a low voice.
Daling has freedom of speech, as long as it is not extreme, no one cares what you say.
So this kind of scene is also common in Erythronia Port.
".I don't think so. I, my great spirit, treats the Western Italian state religion like this. Is it too arrogant to take the initiative to send troops to conquer its land? Isn't it afraid that other countries will share the same hatred?"
The speaker was a middle-aged man in a blue and black gown, wearing tortoiseshell glasses, with a gentle demeanor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was quite indignant when he spoke.
"Brother Yanzhi has been in the academy for a long time, so maybe he doesn't know the key. This actually involves the foundation of my Daling state religion."
The other person has delicate features and looks in his twenties, but he is holding a white fan, and his long hair is tied with a jade ring. He has the demeanor of a handsome son most admired by women from a good family.
"My Daling national religion, isn't it Buddhism? Is it possible that the teachings of Buddhism are so overbearing?" The man with glasses frowned and said unhappily.
"No. Buddhism is actually the second state religion." A burly and tall man put down his teacup and interjected.
"Brother Jing Rong works in the yamen, he should know better than me." A woman at the table agreed.
The man named Jing Rong had a square face with sharp edges and corners, long and narrow eyes, and a muscular body. Just sitting on a stool can give people a sense of immovability and burly.
This person is none other than Zhang Ying Zhang Rongfang who goes down to the mountain to drink tea after he has nothing to do every day.
For more than half a year, he often came to drink tea, and gradually because of bragging, he found a few like-minded guys like him.
Everyone dares to brag about anything when they are together, and most of the four of them are knowledgeable, so they get along more harmoniously.
Apart from Zhang Rongfang, the other three were Zhao Yanzhi, Ouyang Shuyi, and Fang Wuxue.
The four of them had been friends for several months. At the beginning, Zhao Yanzhi and Ouyang Shuyi were boasting in Mianyun Residence, and then the topic attracted people around them to join in.
After that, Zhang Rongfang and Fang Wuxue also joined in, and stood out from the crowd, becoming one of the few masters who could argue with them without losing the wind.
So the four of them got married.
"Speaking of the state religion." Zhang Rongfang, also a strong man with the pseudonym Zhang Jingrong, recalled the classics and materials he had read.
"Before the Great Spirit established the country, in fact, most of the spirit people believed in the Lingfei Sect."
"Lingfei Cult? I've seen this in the classics before. So it turned out to be the former state religion?" Ouyang Shuyi was stunned.
"That's right." Zhang Rongfang nodded, "Although most of the teachings of the Lingfei Sect are no longer in line with the rule of the Great Spirit, its core teachings still have a great influence on the entire spiritual people."
"I remember that Lingfei Sect seems to believe in a god named Lingfeitian?" Zhao Yanzhi said.
"Exactly." Zhang Rongfang nodded. "The core teaching of the Lingfei Sect is that among all things in the world, only the spirit man is the one who is bestowed by the gods with spirituality, and is the only person appointed by him to manage the world.
This world, the world, and everything was born in Ling Feitian.
Since the spirit man is the only spiritual man personally taught by Ling Feitian, then by analogy.
Everything in the world, the whole world, should have originally belonged to Ling Feitian and belonged to the jurisdiction of the spirit man. "
"Hiss, I remembered this teaching." Ouyang Shuyi patted the table.
"Lingfeijiao, Lingfeijiao, there is another name called Feitianjiao, right?"
"Not bad." Zhang Rongfang nodded. "So, in the eyes of the orthodox Lingfei sect spirit people, everything in this world belongs to spirit people by nature.
Within the Great Spirit, it belongs to them, and outside the Great Spirit, all the land and everything that is changing also belong to them.
So they went to war, not called war, but to take back the territory that belonged to them. In their view, this is a matter of course. "
"Tsk tsk, other than the great spirit, are they all territories that belong to me and are just waiting to be taken back by me? Such teachings are really overbearing," Fang Wuxue sighed.
"So the nobles of the spirits consider themselves superior to all other races, because they consider themselves the masters of everything?" Ouyang Shuyi sighed.
"Both of you speak carefully," Zhang Rongfang reminded.
When he first turned to these teachings, he also felt speechless.
Fortunately, the Lingfei Sect has long since declined, and the Great Spirit Royal Family mainly uses Buddhism and Taoism as the state religion.
Just judging from this continuous campaign to acquire territory, it seems that the Great Spirit Royal Family is still deeply influenced by the teachings of the Lingfei Sect back then.
"Okay, guys, this topic is getting more and more troublesome, let's change the topic. What do you three think of the Yuhai Gang, which has become famous in Erythrina?" Ouyang Shuyi clapped her hands.
"What's there to say? It's nothing more than bullying men and women, running rampant in the market." Zhao Yan looked dismissively.
"If it was just bullying men and women, the ordinary gangs that ran rampant in the market would not have developed to the point where they are now. Even the government offices have nothing to do with them." Fang Wuxue shook his head.
The four of them did not mention their identities, and they never asked each other too much personal information.
But more or less, everyone can tell the scope of their daily life from the other party's speech.
"The Yuhai gang is not just an ordinary gang behind it, it's best not to conflict with it."
Although Fang Wuxue is a woman with a beautiful appearance, her personality has always been decisive and her actions are resolute. Judging from her figure, she must be a person with strong military strength.
"Brother Wu Xue is right." Zhang Rongfang nodded in agreement.
He is very clear about the strength of the forces behind Yin Yitong and others. Now that the Yuhai Gang even has scruples about them, it must mean that there are deeper forces behind it.
He just wants to stay here peacefully, accumulate attributes, and improve his practice. I don't want to cause trouble for nothing.
Now that more than half a year has passed, he has already figured out the relationship between life value and level limit breaking.
Every ten points of life can break the limit by one more product.
But now, his life has already reached 78 points.
It is nearly twice as much as when I first came to Erythrina.
At this time, his stamina, recovery, and energy are all flowing, and even staying up late for several days in a row has no effect.
And the iron cloth shirt that he practiced at the beginning has already reached the sixth level to break the limit. It has reached the point where even a sixth-grade master can strike with his bare hands without getting hurt.
Ordinary weapons, as long as they are not magical weapons, powerful firearms and crossbows, and are held below the sixth rank, they can be ignored.
In addition, there is another point why Zhang Rongfang doesn't want to be nosy now.
That is, after his life reached 78 points, he faintly had a premonition.
It seems that as long as the life exceeds 100, there will be some kind of step-wise leap.
This premonition was so strong that he wanted to add all the remaining fifteen attributes to his life.
