Chapter 63

As soon as Lin Mu heard this, he saw that the two of them were talking about this matter again, and he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he raised his feet and walked over.

The two people at the table heard the movement, turned their heads to look over together, and found that it was Lin Muyi who came over, they were all stunned, Xiao Qin was beating a drum in his heart, and he didn't know how much his words were heard by Lin Muyi. Shi'er also became nervous, and her back straightened when she landed.

Lin Muyi walked to the table, sat down straight, ignored Xiao Qin, only raised his eyelids and glanced at Shi'er, seeing that Shi'er looked like he had done something wrong, he was secretly funny in his heart, but he didn't mention anything about Fang Cai, and only pulled Shi'er to eat breakfast.

Regarding Shi'er's matter, he had his own plans in his heart, but he didn't want to talk to Shi'er about it, nor did he want him to think about it too much, let alone say anything to Xiao Qin, an unrelated and even ill-intentioned person. At this time, he saw that Shi'er himself was also nervous, so he didn't say anything more, just glared at Shi'er secretly, and warned him not to talk to others again.

Xiao Qin saw that he looked like nothing had happened, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glanced at Shi'er, and continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

At this time, the sky was bright, and Chu Huan and the others also walked over from the backyard, and when they saw Lin Muyi and Xiao Qin, they also sat down beside them one by one. At this time, there were more people in the hall, and gradually someone began to talk, the honest shopkeeper ran around the hall diligently, serving tea and pouring water for the diners, and the proprietress stood behind the counter, crackling with an abacus, whether she was attached to take care of the children around her. The hall gradually became lively.

While eating, there was a noise behind the counter, and the three-year-old son of the proprietress suddenly cried for some reason, and the older child was playing with him, and he was also a little overwhelmed at this time.

The proprietress hurriedly put down the abacus in her hand, leaned down to wring the eldest child, cursed a few words in a low voice, and hugged the little son at the same time. The eldest child pouted, didn't say anything, and ran to play again, but saw that the younger son was hugged by his mother at this time, but he cried even louder.

The movement was a bit louder, and many diners in the hall looked over. The proprietress hurriedly smiled and said hello, and turned her head to coax the child who was still crying.

The child, I don't know if he was wronged, or finally fell into his mother's arms, but he kept coaxing, and the more he cried, the louder he became. The proprietress couldn't, so she twisted it on the child's bare ass, and scared with a tiger face: "Cry, cry, cry, you know to cry! Don't be obedient at all! Cry again, beware of the ghost in black who will take you away and eat you!"

As soon as she said this, the child immediately stopped crying, his watery eyes were open, his little face was flushed, and he looked frightened, but he did not dare to cry anymore.

The proprietress stroked his back again, beckoned the older child with a wave of her hand, thrust the younger son into his arms, and let the older one carry the younger one back to the backyard, while laughing at the diners in the hall.

No one cared about her, but there were many fewer people talking, and a few tables were silent, and no one spoke, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Lin Mu frowned when he saw it in his eyes.

I don't know who the black-clothed ghost is, Lin Muyi has never heard of it, and when Xiao'er heard his name, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore. But some people in the hall are also a little taboo when they hear this name, and they have obviously heard of this person, which shows that this person is not just made up.

Lin Muyi looked at Chu Huan with some doubts, but saw that Chu Huan also had a questioning face. When he saw Lin Mu coming over, he nodded slightly at Lin Muyi, then summoned a subordinate and whispered a few words in his ear, and the man arched his hand and retreated. Lin Mu saw it in his eyes and knew that he was looking for someone to inquire, so he didn't say more, just waiting for a reply.

Not long after, after everyone finished breakfast, Xiao Qin went back to his house to find his mother, and Lin Muyi also led Shi'er back to his room to pack up, but not long after, he heard Chu Huan calling outside the door. As soon as Lin Mu knew that it must be breakfast, he picked up his children and went outside to help everyone pack up, and let Chu Huan in.

Chu Huan entered the house, only paused slightly, and then said straight to the point: "Sir, I have inquired about the ghost in black." ”

Lin Mu nodded and said, "Your hands and feet are sharp. Tell me about it. ”

Chu Huan responded, and said: "I heard that the matter of this black-clothed ghost came from the capital, I heard that the capital has lost a lot of children in the past year, how many boys and girls under the age of twelve, no one knows where they went and who took them away, but once a husband saw a black-robed figure at the corner of the street where the child was lost, and it disappeared in an instant, and I don't know if it is true, but the name of the black-clothed ghost has spread because of this." ”

"The child is missing?" Lin Mu frowned when he heard this, "Didn't the Jingzhong Errand Officers find anything?"

Chu Huan shook his head and replied: "Jingzhong naturally also dispatched people to track down at this time, and the Kyoto Prefecture Yin was also removed from his post because of this, but he had no clue, not only did he not track down the murderer, but he also did not find out the whereabouts of those children, whether they were dead or alive. ”

Chu Huan said, looked up at Lin Muyi, saw that he frowned and was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and then continued: "Not only in Kyoto, but there are rumors of losing children everywhere, but Kyoto is the most. The government sent people to track down but there was no result, and the people caught a lot of people, but they didn't find the whereabouts of those children. In the past year, there have been children missing one after another, and there are hundreds of them. ”

Lin Mu was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head suddenly: "One hundred and ten?"

Chu Huan nodded, and when he heard about this, he also felt shocked. So many children were stolen, and when he first heard about it, he also felt indignant, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, obviously still holding back his anger and having nowhere to vent, I don't know who it is, so cruel.

Chu Huan thought for a moment and continued: "There should actually be more than these. Most of the lost children were children of large families, and some were from local families. However, there are also children from ordinary people's families who have been lost, and it is said that some homeless beggars have also been lost, but I am afraid that no one will report to the official, so I don't know how many children have been lost. ”

Lin Muyi's face also became solemn: "One hundred and ten ......"

Chu Huan saw that he was hesitant, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what is the clue?"

Lin Muyi slowly shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure. With so many children, it is also possible that some gang committed the crime. But if there are so many children, and their whereabouts are unknown, I am afraid that they have some ulterior motives. Lin Muyi groaned and said, "So many children, still boys and girls under the age of twelve...... Sounds like it has something to do with sorcery......"

"What do you say about this, sir?" Chu Huan's face changed when he heard him say this, "Mr. said this, but what do you know?"

Lin Muyi shook his head, looked at Chu Huan's expression, and said, "Although I haven't told you, I guess you probably already know my origins. ”

Hearing this, Chu Huan nodded: "Mr. has supernatural powers, it is really very human, and we naturally have some guesses about Mr.'s origin." But the gentleman didn't want to mention it, and I didn't dare to say more. ”

Lin Muyi stroked the top of Shi'er's head and replied, "I won't hide it from you, Shi'er and I are indeed from the cultivation realm." ”

When Chu Huan heard this, his expression became more respectful, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by Lin Muyi raising his hand. I only heard him say again: "I studied under the Mingtai Gate, and I am one of the three major immortal sects in the Yunlan Realm, so I am naturally a famous and decent family, and I don't know much about these evil arts. It's just that my instinct is anything but simple. He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you know who sent that Bai Zhi before?"

Chu Huan heard him say, I don't know why he mentioned Bai Zhi, he was a little confused, and replied: "I haven't found out where this person comes from. However, Qin Er has been chased and killed many times along the way, and it should have been done by the second prince in Beijing. In this way, I am afraid that Bai Zhi was also sent by the second prince. ”

Lin Muyi shook his head and said, "You don't know, that Bai Zhi is a demon cultivator, and he is a great demon who has cultivated into three tails, and he will not be driven by mortals. ”

Chu Huan heard his words, and remembered that Bai Zhi was burned to his original form by Lin Mu one by one that day, and that original form looked like a fox, and he also believed him a little more. He thought for a while, and then said: "Although Xiao Zhan, the second prince of Beijing, has some power, he is reckless, impulsive and irritable, and he can't win people. And although Xiao Zhan often lives in the army, most of the troops of Xiao Zhiguo are still in the hands of today's saints, if it weren't for the national teacher and the secret help, he would not have been able to gain a firm foothold in Beijing. ”

"No feast?" Lin Muyi wondered.

Chu Huan continued to explain: "It is often rumored among the people that this person knows demon arts, has great magical powers, and is deeply relied on by the emperor, so he was named a national teacher. In addition, the emperor was seriously ill, and there were rumors among the people that the national teacher Wuyan colluded with the government to arrest those boys and girls in order to use living people to treat the emperor. It's just that the people don't know that this Wuyan has long been in collusion with the second prince Xiao Zhan, and the emperor also found out that they were secretly colluding, so he ordered someone to find my father and sent me to the country of Huaiyong to pick up Qin Er and return to China. ”

When Lin Mu heard this, he thought for a moment, but he didn't have a clue, and shook his head: "The shape of Jingzhong is complicated, and there is such a thing of a child missing, I can't think of a reason for a while." At this time, it is not certain whether the matter has anything to do with the feast. It's just that the second prince's faction can send a big demon like Bai Zhi, and there must be a high-ranking cultivator behind it...... Even demonic cultivators are possible. ”

Chu Huan looked at him, gritted his teeth, suddenly lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt on the ground: "Sir! I know that Mr. does not want to be involved in mortal affairs, nor does he want to be in the middle of the dispute over the throne. But this matter is not just a matter for Qin Er, or the royal family. The whereabouts of so many children are unknown, this is by no means a trivial matter, and it is by no means a matter of the Xiao family! This matter is about the people of Youxiao, about the community, and about the lives of so many children! Chu Huan implored Mr. to take action, find out about this matter, and save me from Xiao Yu in fire and water!" After speaking, he bowed deeply.

Lin Muyi looked at Chu Huan, who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes were uncertain.

He didn't want to get involved in this matter more, so he made up his mind to send Xiao Qin back to Beijing and leave, escorting the destined son of heaven in the country of Xiao, and saving Xiao from the war, which can be regarded as a merit. It's just that he wants to find an opportunity to retreat after that, although he doesn't like Xiao Qin, but he has nowhere to place his children, so he is afraid that he will still have to bother Xiao Qin to take care of him. It's just that he can't get out.

And now I have heard that such a terrifying thing has happened in Xiao Jingcheng, and it is very likely to be related to the magic of the Demon Dao. In this way, he can no longer stand idly by.

Lin Muyi made up his mind, sighed, and said, "You can get up." I was originally going to go to Lanchuan, the capital with you. Now that we cultivators have heard of this kind of thing, how can we cultivators sit idly by and watch such evil things as we go along with heaven and practice the right path? I will not let such evil things go. ”

Chu Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, kowtowed deeply, and bowed again: "Chu Huan has Xiao people in his generation, thank you to the immortals!"
