The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 475 Chenzhou
Du Yu was surprised when he checked the time he spent practicing.

In the past, it took ten or eight years to practice martial arts in retreat. Logically speaking, martial arts should be a more advanced form of training than martial arts, so why did it take less time?

With doubts, he opened his character panel and looked at it.

Host: Du Yu.

Occupation: Demon King (activated).

Skills: Thousand Illusions, Taoism (Elementary), True Martial Realm (Intermediate), Demon Lord's Body (9%), Demon Lord's Soul (18%).

Lingbao: Tianwei Cloud Chariot (authority 23%)

Planes: Real world, Water Margin world, Detective Dee world, Hong Kong variety world, Heaven and Dragon Sword, Wandering Earth world, Double Dragon world, Anti-Japanese War film and television comprehensive world, Tianwu world, Liaozhai world.

"Hmm! How could this happen?" Du Yu was a little confused.

A three-year retreat only replaced the original inner alchemy with Taoism, and it was still elementary. He found it a bit difficult to accept.

The most important thing is that he feels that he has improved a lot, but the various statistics have not changed at all, which is like mocking him.

However, after careful analysis, he accepted it calmly. According to his previous training status, he was indeed converting his martial arts spiritual power into an energy form suitable for Taoism.

The Taoist skills practiced are only basic applications of Taoism. Spells such as Palm Thunder seem more powerful. That is because in Liaozhai or its relatively low-level film and television world, it is different from the world of cultivation or Xianxia in the main world novels. In comparison, the world is probably in the primary stage of Taoism.

It is natural for inner alchemy to be included in Taoism. After all, the refining of gods and anti-emptiness that he practices is not the refining of gods and anti-emptiness in the world of cultivation. What is improved is only the spiritual realm and has nothing to do with the real strength.

It seemed normal that other attributes remained motionless, but Du Yu frowned again. Even with the help of the training field, he would not gain much from retreat. So what's the point of toiling in the world of Liaozhai?

It's not that he can't collect soul fragments after destroying those demons, but it's just that if you do it piecemeal, you'll get very little, and it's not a cost-effective use of time.

Of course, this was just an analysis based on the current situation. In the end, he decided to at least go to Lanruo Temple to meet the Black Mountain Demon or to see Pudu Cihang.

Thinking of this, he withdrew his mind and opened the system panel to teleport back to the mansion in the capital of Liaozhai World.

When Du Yu walked out of the solitary room, he ran into the old housekeeper Zuo Xing.

"Master, you are finally out of seclusion, but this old servant is so anxious." Zuo Xing said immediately after saluting.

"Xingbo, don't worry, what happened?" Du Yu asked.

"Master, you have been in seclusion for three years. The governor has urged you to report to the Yamen several times." Zuo Xing said.

Du Yu frowned slightly and said, "Xing Bo, before I went into seclusion, I told you to send a gift to Ambassador Li Zhen's house every year and festival. Did you deliver it?"

"Sir, if you hadn't spent more than 4000 taels of silver in the past three years, you might not have been able to keep your official position." Zuo Xing said.

"Oh, why is he so anxious this time?" Du Yu asked.

"Master, I don't know the details of this matter. But I heard that something happened to the guard station in Chenzhou, and the capital has sent two waves of people. Instead of finding out the truth, they have lost a lot of people. It is said that the people above It seems that I want you to go..."

"Chenzhou!" Du Yu felt that the name seemed familiar.

After a moment, he couldn't help but said in his mind, "Oh shit", isn't Lanruo Temple located in Chenzhou?

'Is it a coincidence or the plot of "A Chinese Ghost Story: The Way of the Demon" was triggered. ’ After he pondered for a moment, he decided that no matter which aspect he looked at, he would go through with it.

So, after greeting the steward Xing Bo, he immediately rode to Fusi, Beizhen.

When he arrived at Beizhen Fusi, he greeted his acquaintances and immediately went to pay a visit to his superior, Chief Li Zhenfu.

After not seeing each other for three years, when he saw Zuo Qianhu again, the clouds on Li Zhenfu's face immediately dissipated and he was replaced by a kind smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two immediately got down to business.

"Master Li, I heard someone said something happened over there in Chenzhou?" Du Yu asked.

"Master Zuo, even if you don't mention me, you still have to mention this matter. The thing is like this... Nan and North Town Fusi successively sent two teams led by deputy Qianhu to check. Unfortunately, they all failed to show up. We didn't even get any news back." Li Zhen sighed.

"Sir, do you suspect that this matter is related to something strange?" Du Yu asked. "I and the Ling of Nanzhen Fusi both think so, but as His Majesty's personal soldiers, we also have to be 'silent, strange, powerful and chaotic.'" Li Zhenfushang sighed again.

"So... Sir, you want me to go and investigate?" Du Yu asked directly.

Li Zhenfu nodded, then stood up, walked to the side and patted his shoulder, saying: "There are fourteen Jinyiwei Qianhu and 42 deputy Qianhu. Those people together are not as strong as you in martial arts, so I The official is planning to let you go."

"Sir, I am willing to take this humble position. I have made some gains in martial arts during the past three years of seclusion, and I just want to verify it." Du Yu said.

Ambassador Li Zhen smiled softly and said: "This time I come back safely and I will ask you for credit. Although you may not be promoted, you can win a generous reward. Maybe you can get into His Majesty's eyes through this matter."

"Thank you for your support, sir." Du Yu thanked him immediately and performed flawlessly.

When Li Zhenfu saw that he had succeeded in drawing the cake, a smile bloomed on his face. He showed care for his subordinates and even took out a 'peace charm' from his arms and handed it to Du Yu's hand.

Du Yu had not only been in the officialdom but had also been an emperor in the Water Margin world. Naturally, he knew the routines of the officialdom, and he immediately showed tears of gratitude.

His behavior is really in line with the character of the original owner. He is majestic and loyal to the court, and he never shirks his superiors' tasks.

In this way, Du Yu took over Chen Zhou's mission, but he politely refused to take his men there with the excuse that the bigger the target, the easier it would be to expose it.

Governor Li Zhen thought about it carefully and felt that this was the truth, so he readily agreed.

Du Yu returned home, packed his belongings, and rode the green horse out of the capital directly to Chenzhou.

Coincidentally, while staying at a market town during the journey, a paper kite flew into his hand.

After three years of seclusion, he almost forgot all about the fox demon, but he didn't expect that it would send him information about the demon just after he came out of seclusion.

Du Yu opened the kite and pinched it with his hands, revealing the information on it.

"interesting."

After seeing it, he condensed a flame in the palm of his hand and burned the kite into ashes.

The next day, after Du Yu hit the road, he did not go straight to Chenzhou, but rushed towards the ruined temple on the barren mountain where he met the fox demon.

With all his strength to mobilize the horses, he arrived near Qingqiu in just one day.

Arriving outside Qingqiu, he immediately activated the spell left on the fox demon pill.

The fox demon walked out of Qingqiu immediately and immediately paid homage.

"Master, I found out that there is a suspected corpse ghost in the mountains near Shangzhou. Although my subordinates have not seen it with their own eyes, they have found traces of its activities." The fox demon said.

"Ghoul! How strong is it?" Du Yu asked.

The fox demon shook his head and said: "I don't know, but the strength should not be weak. When my subordinates were investigating, I once felt an evil aura. It's just that my subordinates have limited strength and dare not approach..."

"Well, I understand. If the news is true, I will give you a reward." Du Yu said.

After asking for some more details, he determined that the corpse the fox demon was talking about was not the old Black Mountain demon in Lanruo Temple.

After Du Yu left Qingqiu, he continued on his way to Chenzhou. The distance between the two was not too far and they could be dealt with together in order to collect the soul fragments.

Yes, now that he has both martial arts and good Taoist skills, this guy is so confident that he is more powerful than Yan Chixia.

Thinking of this, he involuntarily accelerated his pace.

A few days later, Du Yu came to Chenzhou.

He immediately rushed to the Jinyi Guards in Chenzhou to find out more. He found out that the Jinyiwei really disappeared when they were in the market town near Lanruo Temple, and that two deputy Qianhu came there with their subordinates. The probe never came back.

Du Yu had a plan in his mind. After leaving the guardhouse, he changed into a charlatan's costume and rushed to a nearby market town.

However, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he kept observing the surroundings to see if he could see Ning Caichen, even the young monk Shifang and his master Baiyun or Yan Chixia. .
