Bits and pieces of the encounter with the giant emerged in Tie Tang’s mind.

When he withdrew from Guangyao Ancient and Modern that day, he had already suspected that the giant had died.

If the giant is still alive, he will definitely come back to find him.

What a pity.

Not really.

"The ancient method may not be better than the current method."

Strong confidence surged in Zhongyong Hou: "Although the method of overlord body is the first acupuncture method in the world, it does not mean that it is invincible.

You must remember not to look down on other methods, otherwise you will suffer in the future."

Tie Tang forcefully brushed away all his thoughts and changed the topic.

"According to what the Marquis said, are the thirty-six orifices, the eighteen orifices, etc., all variations of the seventy-two orifices?"

"Yes, it is true."

"How did other people, demons, immortals, and gods practice before this?" Tie Tang knew that Zhongyong Hou knew a lot of secrets, so he took the opportunity to start asking about some unknown ancient history.

Marquis Zhongyong also admired this young man who practiced the method of dominating the body. He did not hide anything after hearing this and told what he knew.

"The method of cultivation in ancient times is indeed completely different from ours, and it does not rely on acupoints.

I heard that they can develop witchcraft power from the beginning, and after reaching a certain level, they can see the appearance of the soul. Depending on the strength of the soul, they can receive blessings from heaven.

At that time, there were three main avenues: physical body, soul, and witch treasure.

Even I don’t know much about how to practice and other details."

"Is the transformation into what it is now related to the change of the vitality of heaven and earth? It seems that some extremely powerful ancient beasts have disappeared long ago."

"Every era has its mark and glory. It's hard to say which era is better.

But there are indeed other reasons for the large-scale disappearance of ancient mythical beasts, and you are not qualified to explore them now.

One thing I can tell you is that many powerful mythical beasts and ferocious beast races have not been completely extinct, but have been hidden."

In this way, Tie Tang was not ashamed to ask questions and answered them with Marquis Zhongyong.

Not everything that Zhongyong Hou will tell the truth, only some things that are not secrets in his opinion will be told.

Ancient history, which was not a secret to Marquis Zhongyong, was a very new story to Tie Tang.

He was so hungry that he was like a sponge that had dried up for a long time and began to absorb a large amount of water.

The moon rises and sets, and the sun and moon rotate.

When the new sun appears on the horizon, people will gradually return to Jiangshan Shejitu.

"Okay, after telling you so much, you owe me a favor. If the Taibao hadn't talked about you to me, I wouldn't have spoken."

Tie Tang bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your guidance today."

This time he owed not one favor, but two.

There is one Zhongyonghou and one Taibao.

This is the true meaning of what I just said.

"Go back." Hou Zhongyong saw someone coming forward and waved lightly.

Tie Tang returned to where everyone was in Qingshui County. He Changsheng had been scared to death for a long time. Seeing that he never came back, he thought he was being detained by Marquis Zhongyong.

"It's okay. Mr. Hou is very kind and told me many stories."

"Well, don't get too happy too early. Think about how to repay the debt! Qingshui County can help you advance the payment, but don't think you can get away with it.

Every tael of silver the county gives out must be paid back in full by you!"

The sound of Li Qingwan biting her gums brought Tie Tang back to reality.

Too bad!

And this one.

How long will it take to repair three city walls by yourself?

Workers have the soul to work, and workers are superior to others.

I wonder if there is so much remuneration for supervising the county residence?

Tie Tang was worried, with a mountain of debt already weighing on his shoulders, and there was no way he could escape.

Three people from the other seven counties who went out to look for clues have all returned.

Each county reported what they knew one by one.

Naturally, no one can find the murderer Tie Tang, so no one in the other seven counties can get points.

This also made Tie Tang wonder if Marquis Zhongyong deliberately released water on Qingshui County?

Or is it to test yourself again for Taibao?

Thinking of this, Tie Tang shuddered slightly. If he deliberately concealed it and refused to report it, he would not end well.

Only Marquis Zhongyong himself knows what the reason is. In short, he barely passed this level.

After all, Tianshan County had the advantage of being a landlord. After mobilizing a large number of contacts, half of the bricks and stones left by Tietang's palm prints were found.

And he boldly made a bet, using this half of the palm print as evidence of the murderer, and gained points in one fell swoop.

The clues found in the other seven counties are generally the same, and the difference in scores is not too big, hovering between minutes and minutes.

This is undoubtedly a happy event for the three or four weaker counties.

Because if they competed normally, they might not be able to get so many points.

The second round ended, and the gold list rankings changed again.

First, Yinbai County, total score.

Second, Tianshan County, total score.

Third, Changdu County, total score.

Fourth, Ningjing County, total score.

Fifth, Qingshui County, total score.

Sixth, Xiuyang County, total score.

Seventh, Feng'an County, total score.

Eighth, Anquan County, total score.

Although Qingshui County had an unrivaled victory in the literary competition and obtained a perfect victory, it fell far behind at the Dragon Yuan Realm level, and now it can barely catch up with the mid-range.

After the results were announced, the personnel from the eight counties all left the Jiangshan Shejitu, waiting for the start of the third round of checkpoints.

After the catalog came out, the Tianshan County Sheriff's face was gloomy, and Li Qingwan said in a neutral tone, "Li, Sheriff, do you have anything you want to say to me?"

Li Qingwan was still a little ashamed, but the other party's attitude immediately annoyed her.

"If you want to take action, come and do it. Don't think that I'm afraid of you because you are a witch god."

Shao Qi was so angry that he was trembling all over. If the commander-in-chief hadn't pulled him away, he would have started a fight with her on the spot.

Although he was blinded by anger, fortunately, others on the side still had some sense.

If two county guards were to fight, it would be ugly, let alone who would win or lose.

Moreover, Li Qingwan has a good reputation and is one of the most powerful geniuses at the top. If Shao Qi really fights against her, he may not be able to win surely.

After whispering a few words, Shao Qi strode forward as Li Qingwan was about to lead people away.

He stretched out his hand and touched his face. The originally gloomy and scary face instantly became amiable and docile, just like the most ordinary officialdom person.

"I was reckless earlier. Commander Li has just arrived, and I haven't greeted him yet. Now I'm having a banquet, and I hope that Mr. Li will show my favor and come forward."

"Oh, she is the county guard, aren't we?" The bosses from the other six counties on the side also wanted to know who the real murderer was. At this moment, they were making strange noises, trying to find out the truth while raising fire.

"Let's go. Qingshui County is huge, and Tianshan County is ranked number one. Who would think highly of us?"

"That's right. It's just my lack of strength. I can't even get a meal, ugh~"

"I heard that the Zuixian Pavilion in Tianshan City is one of the best in the world. Unfortunately, I am short of money and have never dared to go there. I don't know when and what month I will be able to taste the immortal delicacies."

Several officials of the fifth rank, you and I, put Shao Qi on the fire in the blink of an eye.

Shao Qi's eyes were twitching wildly and his fingers were trembling: "Sir Huang, with your wealth, you can buy Zuixian Pavilion with just a little effort, but you can't even afford a meal?"

"Ah, don't, don't say that. How can Mr. Huang afford to go to that level of immortal pavilion? Mr. Shao thinks highly of Mr. Huang, but he doesn't know how difficult it is~ It's really difficult."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Come if you want. Don't bring anyone with you. Everyone is pretending to be a bastard. They are all gossips."

"Okay, Mr. Shao is still hospitable."

"After all, ranking first is still something."

"With this kind of magnanimity alone, no third person can be found in the entire Tianshan City."
