Chapter 857 856 When You Have Watched a Thousand Movies, You Will Find that There Is Nothing Weird in This World.

Chapter 857 856. When you have watched a thousand movies, you will find that there is nothing weird in this world.

The magistrate, converted into the positions that Mo Cheng knew in modern times, was roughly the mayor of a prefecture-level city plus the secretary.

It’s easier to understand the prefect’s Yamen, the office location of the prefect.

Mo Cheng was not very interested in these official positions, but his predecessor, who could not stand up to his stature, was a man who wanted to take the public examination. He had even won over a large number of people and obtained the title of scholar.

However, Mo Cheng estimated that the road to the public examination could only go as far as being a scholar. He could only rely on dreams, because the remaining knowledge in his mind did not support the next examination at all.

Even if he really took the exam again, Mo Cheng was afraid that his score would be too poor and people would suspect that someone else had taken the previous exam for him.

After all, most modern people have barely learned much about the main things tested in the imperial examination.

A strong wave of energy emitted from inside the magistrate's yamen, which was different from any force Mo Cheng had ever encountered. It was a relatively stable force with a high level of inertia.

It is not like Taoist true energy, nor is it like Buddhist divine thoughts, nor is it like warrior Qi and blood, but it has a strong suppressive effect on many forces.

I saw a pillar of light rising into the sky from the magistrate's yamen, and a dragon roar suppressed the undercurrent, which actually suppressed the undercurrent and stopped functioning.

This time, Mo Cheng smelled something familiar. The way this force was formed was similar to people's willpower.

"It was Northern Qi's Dragon and Tiger Qi that suppressed the undercurrent that enveloped most of the city. I'm afraid it took at least ten years of accumulated Dragon and Tiger Qi."

Shen Xueqi frowned. The Dragon Tiger Qi was not only able to suppress the undercurrent, but also had a considerable degree of restraint for the children of the Immortal Family like her who practiced immortal magic.

Mo Cheng was not surprised by the existence of [Dragon and Tiger Qi]. After all, this world has many magical powers. While monks and warriors exist, its political system can also appear in the form of a country, which means that national organizations must have Corresponding power.

Mo Cheng squinted his eyes, wondering what he was thinking, "You mean this dragon-tiger energy can suppress the undercurrent?"

"Short-term suppression, that level of dragon-tiger Qi suppression can only be mobilized by the official seal in the hand of a first-level prefect, and the dragon-tiger Qi accumulated in at least ten years has been consumed in one go." Shen Xueqi paused and added, "At least for ten years, everything will be smooth and there will be no problem. The energy of dragon and tiger accumulated under the premise of major events."

Got it, the total GDP growth of prefecture-level cities in ten years.

Mo Cheng changed Shen Xueqi's words into meanings that he could better understand.

"How much dragon and tiger energy can the prefect use?"

"I don't know, I don't know much about Northern Qi officials."

The dragon-tiger aura that erupted in the prefect's Yamen suppressed the undercurrent, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this suppression was only a temporary thing, and it would not last long before the dragon-tiger aura had to dissipate.

After all, the different properties of Dragon Tiger Qi and ordinary true energy, spiritual thoughts and other powers are that the consumption of Dragon Tiger Qi is to consume it completely. If you want to accumulate it, you can only start from scratch. If you use it, you will consume the upper limit of the accumulated number.

Regardless of whether it is Taoist true energy or Buddhist spiritual energy, as long as it is not exhausted in a short period of time, it is very easy to replenish it.

"Alas!" Suddenly, Mo Cheng let out a long sigh, "It seems that some of our friends don't want us to get involved in this matter."

As he was talking, a thick fog filled the surroundings. Shen Xueqi held Fang Tian's painted halberd and swung a strong wind to disperse the thick fog.

After the thick fog dissipated, they were surrounded by seven or eight people.

Everyone was wearing black robes and animal masks on their faces. Mo Cheng counted the masks on those people's faces.

Ox, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, chicken, dog, pig...

If you add rat, tiger, rabbit, and monkey, it will be a combination of the twelve zodiac signs. Combined with the tiger mask man who led the previous raid on the Yunping Three Immortals, Mo Cheng suspected that this group of people is very likely to be based on the twelve zodiac signs. as a code name.

"Student Jixia, disciple Wanghan, this matter has nothing to do with you, just step back and the previous matters will be wiped out."

The one who spoke was the dragon-head masked man. I don’t know if he felt that there were so many people around him. He was absolutely crushing the scene. He put his hands behind his hands and said, "The only target we have is the prefect of this city..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sneer.

"Come on, it's better not to say stupid things like letting it go without hindering you. I'm afraid you will really believe it if you say too much."

Mo Cheng had a sneer on his face, not believing what the other party said at all, "You raided the Three Immortals of Yunping before. If I guessed correctly, the plan was to use the starry sky when the Three Immortals of Yunping entered the city to heal their disciples. The vision triggered Gu Chen's fate, and then strengthened the power of the undercurrent to swallow the entire city."

"The undercurrent has engulfed the city, and the prefect cannot absolve himself of the blame. For the safety of the residents in the city, he will inevitably use the official seal to mobilize the dragon and tiger energy to suppress the undercurrent."

"At the same time, the Dragon Tiger Qi may have a somewhat suppressive effect on the strength of the Three Immortals Yunping. In this way, you can better execute the forced killing."

As he spoke, Mo Cheng paused, as if he had thought of something, "I see. If you want to maximize your strength under the dragon-tiger aura, among you... there must be officials from the Northern Qi Kingdom."

Although it was a question, when it came out of Mo Cheng's mouth, it was already a statement. He was sure of one thing.

That is to say, the so-called letting them go is absolutely false. These masked people definitely have no intention of letting anyone in the city go.

"No, that's not right. I'm afraid there is more than one official from the Northern Qi Kingdom. One of you is wearing a mask, hiding in the dark, and around the prefect, are there two? Or three?"

"Two are insurance for assassinating the prefect, but three is too conspicuous, so there are still two people around the prefect who are officials of the Northern Qi Kingdom on the surface, but secretly are your assassins. Am I right?"

After hearing Mo Cheng's words, the masked people were silent for a moment.

"Pah, pah, pah!"

The dragon-masked man suddenly clapped his hands and applauded Mo Cheng's reasoning, "Wonderful. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have thought that you could guess all our plans based on just those words. Then why didn't you guess? Guess what is our ultimate goal?"

"The ultimate goal is either a [great cause], [idea], or [belief] that sounds very passionate but is stupid in execution. Or it is a conspiracy to subvert the existing regime. I guess the guys who are cooperating with you include the royal family of Northern Qi. I plan to sit on the Dragon Throne."

When you watch a thousand movies, you will realize that there is nothing bizarre in this world.

Similarly, for Mo Cheng, a guy who is often dragged to support the scene and serve as the main combat force, when he participates in more actions, he will find that the stories behind the conspiracies are similar.

Although many times, he is the powerful thug who executes the conspiracy.
