The demon world I designed

Chapter 15 The Hidden Person

"Academic administration?"

In the warehouse, Chen Qing was a little confused: "Xue Zheng is a warlock?"

After all, the background of his partner's design was the previous dynasty. In the background of the previous dynasty, the inheritance of human warlocks had been discontinued, which seemed different from the current Jin Dynasty.

"Don't you understand, sir?" Wei Gongcheng asked curiously.

Seeing the confusion on the other party's face, Chen Qing twitched the corner of his mouth: "I am just a child from a poor family. Only my father has been admitted as a scholar in the fifth generation of my ancestors. How can I know the secrets of Master Xuezheng?"

"Uh..." Wei Gongcheng suddenly looked strange, a child from a poor family? Can ordinary people from poor families know about such a mysterious ghost as Mr. Painted Skin?

He didn't know whether it was true or not, but Wei Gongcheng still patiently told Chen Qing about the academic and political system of the dynasty and the secrets of some magicians.

Chen Qing listened carefully. After all, if you want to survive in this world, information is the most important thing.

After listening to the other party's detailed explanation, Chen Qing slowly understood some of the imperial court's management of warlocks.

Academic administration is a third-grade official, which is the highest-level academic official in the province. It is not under the jurisdiction of local administration. It is directly under the central government of the imperial court and is equivalent to an imperial envoy. On the surface, its job is to manage scientific examinations and provincial education matters. In fact, he also has the power of secret secrets and the function of monitoring local monsters.

All academic administrators are warlocks, and they must be very strong warlocks. They must have sufficient strength and experience in facing evil spirits. They must be the administrators who mainly deal with local evil incidents. Generally, local magistrates will deal with strange things when they encounter them. It must be reported to the state capital, and the state government will report the incident to the academic administrator guarding the provincial capital.

Hearing this, Chen Qing was a little confused: "Only Xuezheng is a warlock? None of the government-level Xuezheng adults are? Then can he be busy? Why doesn't the imperial court train more warlocks?"

Normal people will definitely be confused when they hear this. The academic administration is already busy managing the scientific examination education of a province, and it also has to manage the evil anomalies of a provincial capital. Unless it is a monster like Superman who can be in place in a few seconds around the world, how else is it possible? Too busy?

"Your Excellency is familiar with Mr. Wang. Don't you know that being a sorcerer is a taboo profession that cannot be spread easily?" Wei Engineering looked at Chen Qing doubtfully.

"Master Wei, there is no need to test..." Chen Qing said with a smile: "I am not familiar with Master Wang, we have known each other for only a few days. I was just accidentally involved in this matter, and you should be able to tell, even though I know a little bit about it. Strange information, but I am just an ordinary person."

Wei Gongcheng frowned when he heard this. This was also his doubt. This young man was not of blood, and he did not have the spiritual power of a sorcerer. How could Mr. Wang Ye entrust him with matters of life and death?

But he still nodded and explained: "There is naturally not only one warlock in a province, Master Xuezheng. Xuezheng has the responsibility of conducting warlocks. Usually he will have several warlock apprentices with him. Warlocks are different from people of our blood. They are extremely Unstable, especially for newcomers, there is a very high risk of becoming possessed by demons. Therefore, not only are the assessments strict, but all growth must be supervised and inspected by the academic administration. Of course, the academic administration will also send these students to deal with some evil spirits with less risk. This is how Mr. Wang Ye came about the incident."

"I see..." Chen Qing nodded. It seems that although the path of warlock has been explored and passed on, it is strictly controlled by the court. The quality is unknown, but the quantity is probably pitiful.

"The general talked to me about academic affairs. Do you want to ask him for help?"

"Yes..." Wei Gongcheng nodded: "Master Xuezheng is usually a high-level warlock. With his participation, the success rate of rescuing Master Wang will be much higher."

"What is the general's concern?"

"I don't know if he is reliable..."

"Oh?" Chen Qing's expression became a little meaningful when he heard this: "Why did the general say that? As the general said, the academic administration is directly under the imperial court, and the subordinates also know that the academic administration is changed every three years, in a province After serving for three years, he will have to return to Beijing to report on his duties, and since he is a senior warlock, he should not be replaced. After all, the risk of replacement is high, isn't it? "

"That's what I said..." Wei Gongcheng took a breath: "But my intuition is that I am a little uneasy about the academic master."

"Intuition?" Chen Qing's heart moved: "Although it is a bit presumptuous, but since we are in such a risky event, I still have to ask, what is your bloodline?"

Wei Gongcheng looked at Chen Qing deeply when he heard this, but said honestly: "Our Wei family is of the Wind Snake bloodline, and has been the vassal of the Yuchi family's Tianpeng bloodline for generations. Our family's bloodline has a very high intuition for danger. Judgment.”

"Oh, that's it..." Chen Qing nodded clearly.

"It seems that my lord knows..." Wei Gongcheng said with a smile: "My lord, you are definitely not an ordinary scholar."

The bloodline is so secret that few families would spread it to outsiders. Even within the circle, few people knew about the special powers of his Wei family's wind snake bloodline. The way the other party looked like that, he obviously knew it.

"Hehe, I've heard something..." Chen Qing made a fool of himself and immediately changed the subject: "The general told me this because he wanted me to help judge whether academic politics is really dangerous?"

"Yes..." Wei Gongcheng nodded: "Mr. Chen, do you think the academician...may be one of theirs?"

"This..." Chen Qing thought carefully after hearing this.

——

"This damn thing can be hidden very well!"

Yuchi Peng was flying in the air, the expression on his face becoming more and more impatient.

As a large family that has existed for thousands of years, the Yuchi family has survived three dynasties. Its heritage is quite profound. Naturally, its own soldiers are not ordinary people. They are all family soldiers with the blood of demon dogs or nighthawks.

They can search for monsters through their keen sense of smell and vision, and lead searches to cooperate with their own high-altitude ambush. Very few people can escape. This is why the Yuchi family has been reused for generations.

This ghost child had fought against him during the day and even shed blood. With such traces, he shouldn't be able to escape the search of his generals within a hundred miles. Could it be that it escaped from Liuzhou City?

Thinking of this, Yu Chipeng was anxious and began to feel a little guilty. The reason why he agreed to the three-day period with Master Xuezheng was because he was confident in his ability to search for personal soldiers, but now it seems that it is not going so smoothly...

Could it be that he really couldn't escape the fate of going back and being laughed at?

"Huh? That's it?" Yu Chipeng seemed to have seen something, his expression suddenly became excited, and he swooped over.

But he didn't see that after he flew away, a dark curtain quickly enveloped a certain place in Liuzhou City——

"Yuchipeng has activated the Tianpeng bloodline, search the whole city!"

Somewhere in the mountains, Mr. Huang took out Mr. Miao after soaking in the hot spring and gasped: "You old guy, you are as thin as firewood. I didn't expect you to be quite heavy!"

Mr. Miao ignored the other party's teasing and said seriously: "So, from now on, messages can no longer be sent to Liuzhou City?"

"Nonsense...you dare to send a message?" Master Huang rolled his eyes: "It's not like Tianpeng doesn't know about his poor eyesight. Unless my wooden bird can become invisible, how can it be possible to send a message under Yuchipeng's nose?"

"Ahem...I told you back then to let you design something lighter, like a carpenter bee..."

"You make it simple..." Mr. Huang suddenly laughed angrily: "Can bees and birds be the same? Birds can glide, and bees can fly by vibrating their wings at high frequencies. So can the power design be the same? Hey... with you Even if you tell me, you don’t understand!”

"Anyway, from now on, we are like blind people..." Mr. Miao frowned: "The entire Liuzhou City is out of our control, maybe it will take three days!"

"Didn't you say you wanted to confine Yuchi Peng to Liuzhou?" Master Huang glared and said, "Now that he has activated Tianpeng's bloodline and is wandering around Liuzhou City, he is most unlikely to interfere with us..."

"That's what I say...but I always feel..." Mr. Miao frowned and said, "We have been plotted!"

"ah?"

"You said... is it possible that the other party didn't intend to let the ghost babies kill us in the first place, but the purpose was to force us out of the city and make us lose control of Liuzhou?"

"Are you thinking too much?" Master Huang frowned: "What is the purpose of doing this? What is the motive?"

"If I wanted to know... I wouldn't ask questions here..." Mr. Miao narrowed his eyes: "Old guy, I have a feeling that this time... we may have really encountered someone in trouble! "

——

"Brother Wei, the brothers have searched all over the southern area of ​​the city, but there is no news. The brothers from the north city have also sent a reply, but they have not found any traces. I am afraid that the damn thing is no longer in the city!"

"Really?" Wei Gongcheng looked at the other party and nodded, a hint of affinity flashed in his eyes. The brother who reported the report had natural body movements. He was one of the few who had not been replaced. In order for his brother to no longer encounter poisonous hands, he was choosing someone. At that time, they were deliberately divided into two groups.

As much as possible, the brothers who move naturally are arranged to search the inner city, as close to themselves as possible, while the monsters wearing the skin of brothers are arranged to the suburbs.

"Don't be anxious, we still have time. If we are all anxious, what do you want the boss to do?" Wei Gongcheng pointed to the sky and smiled.

"That's true... The boss is always impatient..." The soldier rubbed his head and laughed, looking at the sky, but he was stunned the next second.

"Where's the boss?"

"Uh?" Wei Gongcheng was startled when he heard this and raised his head suddenly. He was of the blood of the Wind Snake, and his eyesight was not weaker than that of soldiers with the blood of the Nighthawk. However, under the amazing vision, he could not see the figure of Lieutenant Chi Peng in the sky!

General...when did you fly away?

"Quick, notice..." As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Gongcheng was stunned, because he could clearly feel that his words had no sound...

Not only was there no sound, it seemed like there was nothing around him.

It was pitch black, the lights, figures, and houses all disappeared completely, leaving only endless darkness, nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard...

Without hesitation, Wei Gongcheng pulled out the short knife from his waist and looked around with great vigilance.

One second...Two seconds...I don't know how much time passed. In this environment without sight and hearing, he felt that time passed surprisingly slowly...

Looking at Wei Gongcheng who was motionless, always vigilant, and still breathing steadily, a sound of admiration came from the darkness.

"I have not encountered anyone who can remain calm during my technique for a quarter of an hour in ten years. General Wei is indeed a person who can assist two generations of Yuchi family heads!"

Wei Gongcheng tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, his eyes cold, knowing that he had not many people assisting the two generations of family heads, and that the other party's intelligence was stronger than imagined.

"Master Xuezheng!!"

Looking at the person coming, Wei Gongcheng took a deep breath. His face did not show shock, but looked like he was really like that.

The conversation with Chen Qing in the afternoon came to mind.

"have?"

At that time, Chen Qing's answer made Wei Gongcheng's heart skip a beat: "But how is this possible? I just observed carefully that Master Xuezheng acted naturally and had no sense of rigidity. He should not be a puppet, and the imperial court's screening of Xuezheng was extremely strict. There shouldn’t be a traitor!”

"General, don't you think there is something wrong with Master Xuezheng?" Chen Qing said amusedly.

Wei Gongcheng was silent and his face was a little tangled. This was also the reason why he came to ask for advice. There was a conflict between intuition and logic...

"Is it possible that this academic master was fake from the beginning?"

"Why do you say that, sir?"

"Look...the Thousand Faced Fox can enter the capital as Cui Yan's wife, which means that she can change General Yuchi's memory. Since she can change it, if the other party's layout was deeper, you can change your memory of important people. memory, then some of the important people you met when you came to Liuzhou may be fake."

"Master Xuezheng is a good candidate. He is very important, but you don't meet often. What do you think, General Wei?"
