This is a square paved with large rocks.
The rock is very rough, with traces of dark red color on it, as if it has been soaked in blood for a long time.
The Sword Prison is under this square.
The person the witch asked him to inquire about was imprisoned there.
It's just that he has been here several times and still doesn't know where the entrance to the Sword Prison opens.
Of course, he didn't want to inquire.
Jiang Zhou and hundreds of sword bearers also wearing black coarse cloth lined up neatly in several rows.
In each column, there is a demon patrol guard holding a booklet in his hand, nodding his head one by one.
Soon, a patrolling demon guard said loudly: "Everyone is here. Let's read out the mission. Everyone whose name is called will come forward and receive the demon-slaying knife."
"There is a malaria ghost raging in Guowang Village. One hundred and thirty-two households in the village are infected with malaria. A number is eleven and thirteen... A total of ten people holding swords followed the demon guard Chen Dali to go to Guowang Village to kill them. Malaria ghost..."
"There is an evil spirit in Liujiazhuang that deceives people, gathers people to build evil temples, robs children and girls from undercover traffickers, and worships them, steals incense, fire, and blood food, the number A is 36, 41... A total of 20 people hold swords, and 10 patrol demon guards follow to eliminate the demons. Colonel Miao Renfeng, the captain of the school, went to Liujiazhuang to destroy the evil temple..."
"There was a wealthy businesswoman in Tongjifang in the city who married six husbands in a row. All six husbands died, and their bodies were all cut open and skinned. The death was in terrible circumstances. It was suspected that it was caused by demons. There was no real evidence. There were two people in total. Hold the knife and report to the Yamen of the Criminal Division to assist in the investigation..."
The person holding the knife has no name. Even if there was one originally, it will be gone when we get here. The number is their name.
The named sword holders stepped forward one by one and came to the center of the square, in front of a huge rock like a hill.
This rock is red and dark in color, wrapped with huge iron locks, and covered with blood-red ghost-headed knives.
The Demon-Slaying Sword is made from the essence and blood of demons and evil spirits, and is specially designed to slay demons, demons and gods.
Even an ordinary person, with a demon-slaying knife in his hand, can kill high-grade demons with his hands.
Ten people holding swords can cut down three ranks.
A hundred people holding swords can kill three levels.
Of course, this is under the premise that it can be cut.
As for the upper third level, it cannot be dealt with by just relying on the demon-slaying sword.
The Sujing Division can make all the demons and gods in the world fearful, and the demon-slaying sword is an extremely important factor.
It's just that this demon-slaying sword is full of blood evil. Ordinary people with weak bones and weak bones will be seriously ill and die suddenly in less than three or two days.
It is said that this huge stone is used to suppress the blood demons of many demon-slaying swords. The masonry on the ground is also corroded by the blood demons, which is why the dark red color appears.
This shows how terrifying this blood evil is.
Sujing Division has a kind of evil-resolving pill, which is used by the sword holder to suppress the blood-evil.
This is also the reason why there are often many vacancies in the sword holder's number, because a large number of people die every day.
It is extremely difficult to refine the demon-slaying sword. Even if Wu County is the capital of Nanzhou and Wu County's Sujing Division oversees the various branches of Sujing Division in Nanzhou, there are still less than a thousand of them.
Everyone must receive the mission and register before they can receive the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Su Jingsi was not afraid that the sword holder would take the demon-slaying sword and run away.
There is some kind of restriction on the knife, and Su Jingsi can take it back at any time.
Moreover, the laws of the Daji Dynasty were strict, and there were monsters and ghosts everywhere outside the city. Where could they go?
Furthermore, ordinary people who have touched the demon-slaying knife must take evil-repelling pills every day, otherwise they will not live long.
It is better to die than live, no one is stupid.
Jiang Zhou once heard a knife holder in his roommate say: If you pick up a knife, you won't be able to put it down.
Soon, most of the hundreds of sword holders were assigned tasks, and Jiang Zhou heard his number.
"The Secretary of Punishment came to report that one after another wealthy households in the city lost their gold and silver property, and members of their families were also lost. Their lives and deaths were unknown. They suspected the work of demons, but there was no real evidence. The word "Ding" is 51, and a man was holding a knife. He went to report to the Yamen of the Division of Punishment. , to assist in the investigation."
Sure enough, I hit him.
When Jiang Zhou heard the content of the mission, he was secretly relieved, but also a little disappointed.
The more sword holders needed, the more dangerous the task will be, and the more terrifying the monsters to be dealt with.
Just like the demon ghost before, not only did Wu County Sujing Division's patrol demon guards almost come out in full force, but they also used Sujing Division's other trump card, the hundred-man demon-locking formation.
Of course it's because the ghost has reached the seventh level and has powerful illusions, making it difficult to catch.
At the same time, it was also because this monster was so rampant that it made Wujun so angry that almost all of them came out.
Considering that he was a first-time swordsman and was only assisting other yamen, there was a high probability that he would not encounter demons.
This is the task that the sword holder most wants to be assigned.
You can't hide with a knife, so Jiang Zhou hopes to encounter the monster.
The more monsters he kills, the stronger and safer he becomes.
The more likely it is to get rid of the identity of the knife holder, who has completely lost his freedom and is even precarious.
He's not afraid that the witch will come to him and cause trouble!
Jiang Zhou came to the dark red boulder and registered to receive a demon-slaying knife.
When the dragon's chow entered his heart, his strength increased greatly, and he felt a slight weight in his hand.
Moreover, all evil spirits can be easily warded off, and even the blood evil spirits on the sword cannot harm him.
There was no longer any stinging pain like when he killed the sprite before. Instead, there seemed to be a ball of warmth wrapping around his palm.
...
Jiang Zhou came out of Sujingsi for the first time since he entered Wu County.
The sword holder is, at best, an official servant, but at worst, he is no different than a slave.
Because they carry demon-slaying knives on their backs and are stained with blood, they can easily cause trouble if they run around at will.
Therefore, although he felt that everything was novel, he did not dare to delay for a moment.
All the way to the Punishment Division.
Eight thousand years ago, the Great Ji Dynasty was established. The Holy Ancestor Emperor Ji established the Six Divisions to control the world's immortals, ghosts, gods and demons, and oppressed the world.
The Criminal Division and the Sujing Division are both listed among them.
Su Jingsi suppresses the demons and gods in the world.
The Secretary of Punishment is responsible for raising the number of criminals and prisons in the world, and arresting murderers and thieves.
To put it simply, the two actually have similar functions, but the former manages non-human beings, while the latter manages living people.
Arriving at the Tixingsi Yamen, Jiang Zhou was about to tell the Yamen in front of the door.
Several policemen in hooded clothes walked out of the office. One of them, a young round-faced man, saw Jiang Zhou, or to be precise, he saw the ghost-headed demon-slaying knife carried behind him.
He paused in his steps and frowned slightly.
Then he came up to him: "Are you the sword bearer sent by Sujing Division?"
The tone was not very polite, but it was also common sense.
Although the policeman in prison clothes is the lowest position in the Criminal Division, he is still an official.
The same level as the Demon Patrol Guard of Sujing Division.
As for the man who holds the sword, he is not even a citizen, he is a lowly servant.
Jiang Zhou has lived as a refugee for the rest of his life. In these seven days, he has witnessed the cruelty of Sujing Division, and he has long recognized the reality.
His expression remained unchanged, he cupped his fists and saluted in a decent manner and said, "That's right."
"I am the one who applied for the Monster Patrol Association to investigate and handle the case. What's the use of sending a sword holder here?"
The round-faced detective muttered in a low voice.
The colleagues on the side joked: "Just be satisfied. There have been frequent demonic disasters recently, and Su Jingsi is very popular. Being able to send someone here is already a favor to our leader."
"That's right, maybe they are afraid that you won't be able to defeat the demon?"
"go!"
The round-faced detective spat angrily, and then said to Jiang Zhou: "That's all, I'm about to go to the suspect's home to check. They're already here, so just follow."
After saying this, he said goodbye to his colleagues. He didn't even bother to exchange names with Jiang Zhou, so he swayed away with his sword in his hand.
Jiang Zhou followed silently.
