Chapter 86: Undercover in the Government Office (Thanks to Alliance Leader Left Embrace Motherland Right Embrace Kong Dai Ship Immor

"Now many people show symptoms of sleepiness. Could it be that the Life-Span Reversing Talisman has already begun to absorb the life span of ordinary people?"

Lan Ting shook her head: "Not so. Life span is the foundation of life and cannot be shaken so easily. Listening to your description, people have only shown sleepiness in the past few days. Now it is just a prelude. It will take at least half a month before it truly begins to absorb life span."

"The process of formally absorbing life span is extremely long and difficult to detect."

"But there is also a way to forcibly activate the Life-Span Reversing Talisman."

"What method!" Lu Yang asked.

Lan Ting said seriously: "Use the Life-Span Reversing Talisman as a node, arrange it into a Life-Span Reversing Array, and use human blood as a guide. No need to wait for half a month, you can activate the great array and use the life span of mortals to improve your own cultivation!"

In fact, the Life-Span Reversing Talisman and the Life-Span Reversing Array are quite niche knowledge, recorded in only a few books, and because the Life-Span Reversing Talisman is a genuine evil path, books recording it are listed as forbidden books. Even those knowledgeable formation masters might only have heard the name of the Life-Span Reversing Talisman and not recognize the pattern of the Life-Span Reversing Talisman.

It was just that Lan Ting came from the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace and was qualified to touch these forbidden books.

She claimed that she didn't know much about formations, but the knowledge reserve she showed now could not be evaluated by the four words "didn't know much."

Lan Ting said again: "However, the person who wrote the Life-Span Reversing Talisman should not know the Life-Span Reversing Array. Before the Life-Span Reversing Array is activated, there is not even a sign of sleepiness, which is more hidden, but it may also be that the Life-Span Reversing Array is being arranged and has not been completed."

Meng Jingzhou and Seeing Man Gu listened on the side and also realized the problem. Now people in the entire Yanjiang County had the meaning of sleepiness, indicating that the Life-Span Reversing Talisman was hidden in various locations in Yanjiang County!

The person in the dark had a huge plan!

"After the Life-Span Reversing Array is activated, what realm can the caster be promoted to?"

Lan Ting shook her head: "Hard to say. This depends on how much life span the formation will absorb. It can't be seen yet."

"Go, go to the Dashiqiao to see. There might be more there!" Lu Yang called the three.

On the west side of Yanjiang County, there is a large river called the Hidden Dragon River. The section of the Hidden Dragon River passing through Yanjiang County has a gentle flow, and people often like to play here. It is a major scenic spot in Yanjiang County, and the two characters "Yanjiang" in Yanjiang County come from this.

The "Dashiqiao" mentioned by Lu Zhi, who attempted burglary, was here.

It was late at night, and there was no one on the Hidden Dragon River. The four of them found the Dashiqiao together, searched it up and down, but didn't find a new Life-Span Reversing Talisman.

"Sure enough, the other party is not stupid and won't put two Life-Span Reversing Talismans in one place."

Early the next morning, Head Constable Wei found Chief Constable Fang Qingyun.

"Little Wei, what's the matter with finding me?"

"Master, have you noticed that the people in Yanjiang County have generally been sleeping early at night and unable to get up in the morning recently?"

Fang Qingyun nodded: "There is such a thing. I think it may be that the consumption level of Yanjiang County has increased, but the income has not increased, leading to great life pressure on the people, and they work hard to earn money during the day."

Head Constable Wei rubbed his eyebrows painfully and carefully organized his words: "Master, I know you want to be promoted very much and have been reading social and economic books recently to lay a foundation for future promotion, but have you ever thought that you are not suitable for development at all?"

"If you have something to say, say it! If you have a fart, let it go!"

"... It's like this. Last night, an enthusiastic citizen caught a thief who broke into a house. According to the thief, he accidentally obtained a talisman paper that makes people fall asleep, which can roughly make people within a radius of fifty meters feel sleepy."

Head Constable Wei took out the talisman paper from the box with the seal.

The seal had the effect of a seal. He found that the sleepy talisman paper had no effect on himself, but had an excellent effect on ordinary people. The people who were on night shift with him all fell asleep.

He had to lock the talisman paper in the box.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Fang Qingyun examined it for a while and shook his head, indicating that he didn't recognize it either: "County Magistrate Li is knowledgeable, maybe he recognizes it."

When the two found County Magistrate Li, County Magistrate Li was burying his head in handling government affairs.

The two admired County Magistrate Li very much. As a Jin Dan stage cultivator, County Magistrate Li had been in Yanjiang County for twenty years. Yanjiang County had not changed at all from before, but whenever superiors came to Yanjiang County for inspection, and whenever County Magistrate Li went to superiors to report, Yanjiang County would always show its best side, as if Yanjiang County had undergone earth-shaking changes in these twenty years.

"County Magistrate Li, I have something to report!" Fang Qingyun said.

County Magistrate Li put down his brush and signaled the two to sit down and talk.

Head Constable Wei reported the situation last night truthfully and took out the talisman paper, asking County Magistrate Li to take a look.

County Magistrate Li narrowed his eyes, let out a soft "eh," as if remembering something, fell into deep thought, and only said after a few minutes: "If my memory is not biased, this is a Life-Span Reversing Talisman?"

"Thirty years ago, I was responsible for cracking down on the Demonic Path in Poyang County. When exchanging experience with colleagues in other counties, a colleague introduced this kind of talisman, saying it was a Life-Span Reversing Talisman, which can absorb human life span and convert it into cultivation. It is an undisputed Demonic Path means."

County Magistrate Li said solemnly: "The Spring Picking Festival is imminent. At that time, a large number of people from other counties will come to play, including ordinary people and cultivators. The Spring Picking Festival is the loudest signboard of our Yanjiang County to the outside world and cannot have any mistakes. You must catch these Demonic Path disciples who posted these talisman papers before the Spring Picking Festival begins!"

"These Demonic Path disciples are simply lawless and don't put the imperial court in their eyes!"

"Chief Constable Fang, you must pay special attention to this matter. Once the Life-Span Reversing Talisman becomes a climate, the future troubles will be endless!"

Then County Magistrate Li changed the subject: "Of course, if you catch the culprit, it is also a great contribution. I will report it to the above. If possible, you'd better break through your cultivation once, so the promotion will be a nail in the coffin."

"Yes!"

"If there is nothing else, you can go. I have a meeting later."

The next day, Lu Yang and others wanted to continue to find the location of the Life-Span Reversing Talisman according to the clues. Before they went out, Branch Master Chu sent someone to pass a message, asking Lu Yang to come over.

Lu Yang didn't understand why Branch Master Chu only called him. He was secretly vigilant, feeling that things were a bit strange.

Branch Master Chu sat on the jade chair, his palm supporting his head, wearing a mask, his voice hoarse: "I heard that you caught a thief last night and found a yellow talisman paper that makes people fall asleep?"

Lu Yang said respectfully: "Yes, I suspect that the yellow talisman paper is a means of our Demonic Path. I want to find the person who wrote the talisman paper, kill them, and learn the skill of drawing this kind of talisman paper!"

Branch Master Chu waved his hand: "It is necessary to build a good relationship in front of the government office, but this time is different. The government office will vigorously investigate this incident, and there will be Jin Dan stage cultivators intervening. It will soon come to light. Don't interfere anymore, so as not to expose your identity and get yourself involved."

"It's just a talisman paper that makes people fall asleep. It's not worth taking the risk."

Lu Yang was shocked. Branch Master Chu knew about last night's incident this morning, and he also knew that Jin Dan cultivators would take action. Even he didn't know about this.

The Yanjiang Branch had planted an undercover agent in the government office! ===== CHAPTER 87 =====
