Volume 1: Awakening from a Dream Chapter 79: The Beginning of the Conspiracy
Without going to look at Bai Rou, Mu Yu came out directly from the City Lord's Mansion, his expression was a little solemn and full of doubts.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Zhan helped him explain some of the key points of "Hundred Battles", which made him run "Hundred Battles" faster, no longer stagnant before, and at the same time, his endurance was strengthened a little, and the stratus barrier gradually converged, almost epidermis.
At the beginning, Makutsu felt that Baizhan was the most suspicious, and as soon as he came out of the underground, the people from the City Lord's Mansion found him, although Makutsu checked the underground cavity, but it was not ruled out that it was discovered. Moreover, Baizhan managed River City, and he actually made a formation under his nose, which is unreasonable.
As for why Bai Zhan didn't kill himself if he was really discovered, it was obvious that he didn't dare. He was led to the Renwang City by the envoy of the Renwang City, and if it was so obvious that he was killing people and killing people, Tu Shan would definitely investigate thoroughly at that time, which was why he dared to go to the City Lord's Mansion.
But as the conversation continued, Mu Wei noticed what Bai Zhan said, he had been in cultivation, and he didn't usually take care of things, so it was possible that someone might secretly do such a hurtful thing under his nose. And through the conversation, Makutsu felt that others were okay.
Of course, all this still needs to be understood, and it cannot be based on the words of a hundred battles alone.
If it weren't for him, then whose arrangement was the underground formation?
It can only be high-level!
Or go and see if there are any other places, is it an accident or is it deliberate?
I'm a nice nosy person...... A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
In one hour, Makutsu stealthily wandered through the entire River City, and found that there were nine such places.
Then it is obvious that the place is not accidental, it is not caused by some accident such as terrain or utensils, and it can be concluded that it is deliberate.
This formation is usually not opened, and it is hidden very deeply, and outsiders can't feel it. And as for the loss of blood and qi of the people above the formation, ordinary people don't feel too weird, this is normal.
If it weren't for the fact that Makutsu met that person twice by chance, subconsciously paid attention to it, and had spatial star power, he suddenly felt that fleeting fluctuation, which aroused Maku's curiosity and was able to discover these anomalies.
Behind the curtain and hidden, he ran the Breath Technique, and obtained news from some officials in River City, Bai Zhan has indeed been practicing in retreat all the time, and has ceded all the management rights to the vice city of Zhu Rui.
Baizhan's suspicion suddenly became lower, and to be honest, Makutsu didn't want it to be him, after all, it was Bairou's father.
In this way, it is likely that the person who has the ability to do so is the vice city advocate Rui.
It was close to noon in River City, and during this period, the curtain traveled back and forth for nearly five hours, especially when eavesdropping on others, which took even longer.
The sky has been dim, but there are some differences in light.
Soon it would be night, and it would be dark by then, and it was a good opportunity for Makutsu to go to the vice-castle to investigate.
So he went back to the inn first, planning to explore it later, and by this time he had already forgotten about the ruins!
......
In the courtyard of the inn.
Makumi listened to the news brought by more than a thousand rooms, and after that, two more initiates died tragically, and the death was ugly, as if there was really some great horror.
Up to now, there have been at least ten Dao Initiators, more than thirty Star Realm Realms, and some low-level cultivators who want to change their lives against the heavens have entered the ruins, but so far, none of the Dao Initiates have come out, and all of them have died tragically.
In other Star Realms, a few people managed to escape, but they were also out of reason and a little crazy.
According to some scattered information, some broken ancient books can know that it is the mausoleum of the strong, which has existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years, but it is likely to be abnormal.
As for the six-grade elixir Fu Hui Lian, there is indeed one.
Mu Yu knocked on the stone table, fell into deep thought, and decided to understand the formation matter first, otherwise it might lead to a large number of casualties among the people of Hecheng.
Although Makutsu didn't really want to step into this troubled water, he still knew what to do and what not to do. If you know that you may be able to save many compatriots, but you don't see it, and you don't even want to make an effort, how can you dare to have a clear conscience?
"Do you know the formation?" asked Makuki as he opened his eyes and turned to the more than a thousand.
"Master, I only know some basic sword formations, and I don't know much about the rest!" said more than a thousand awkwardly.
"That's it......
"Master, you want to ask me what the formation is for?" said more than a thousand people.
"There is a suspected blood sacrifice formation under River City. Makutsu thought for a moment and said.
Here, when he came in, a thin layer was set up to prevent others from prying eyes.
"What!" was a thousand or so startled, which made him almost unbelievable.
"I found that there was a formation underneath River City, slowly absorbing blood and qi. ”
"At first, I thought it was an accident, after all, I could still tell that the formation was forbidden to teleport or something. ”
But then he searched the whole city, and there were nine such places. Makutsu said slowly.
"Nine places!" The more than a thousand rooms, who had always been calm, lost their voices again.
Makutsu was a little puzzled: "What, what's the problem?"
"Although I don't know much about the formation, I've seen some, nine forbidden air formations, placed in a circle, and when the formation is reversed, a spatial teleportation array can be formed. ”
The curtain suddenly froze, and so everything came out.
"You're going to inform the others, but don't tell them about it yet, go with them to the entrance to the ruins, but don't go in!"
Seeing that more than a thousand people had just wanted to say something, Makumi continued:
"I've got my own arrangement!"
"Good ......" more than 1,000 people finally said only one word.
Seeing more than a thousand people leaving, the curtain slowly walked out of the courtyard, his figure flashed, and he left in hiding.
Where the vice city advocates Rui, the curtain looks at the lights flickering in front of him, reflecting a figure holding a pen inscription.
Running the breathing technique with the power of the space star, even if the curtain is standing in front of ordinary people, it is difficult to spot.
Zhang Rui is a powerhouse in the Star Realm, but Mu Yu is not worried that he will find out, but he still needs to pay attention to some artifacts and other things.
Suddenly, the spiritual sense of the curtain fluctuated, like the wind, as if it had touched something, but as soon as it passed by, it did not attract attention.
Formation!
The curtain is not strange, and immediately hides himself.
Ten minutes passed, and Zhang Rui was still reviewing the article there.
Twenty minutes passed.
"No one is following you!"
Zhang Rui still writes a book, but he seems to be talking to himself.
"Nope!"
A voice that was neither male nor female came, and then Mu Yu realized that he didn't know when, a black shadow gradually appeared in the shadow behind Zhang Rui.
"Tell the master, the Lord of the Hundred Battles City seems to have discovered your movements!" said the Black Shadow unhurriedly.
As soon as he heard this, Zhang Rui's movements in his hands suddenly stopped, but he continued to write, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"To what extent does he know?"
"Nine Formations!"
The pen stagnates, and the ink dots gradually spread.
With a bang, the old yellow brush fell heavily on the black wooden table.
"Is the news reliable, why hasn't he made a move until now?" Zhang Rui took a deep breath.
"Reliable, he might want to wipe out the people behind us!" the yin and yang voice continued.
Zhang Rui did not doubt what the black shadow said.
I saw Zhang Rui take out a package of yellow paper, wrapped in something I don't know.
"Black and powdery, colorless, tasteless and non-toxic, tomorrow at noon, I will visit the city lord. Zhang Rui just said.
The black shadow took the small yellow paper bag, as if he understood Zhang Rui's meaning, and then left like a shadow.
"Why isn't it too late...... Zhang Rui muttered.
Hearing such shocking news, Mu Yu didn't know that the murderer was Zhang Rui, and he hid himself, so he went back to the inn.
......
The next morning, Makutsuro went to the castle lord's mansion.
Bai Zhan waved his hand casually to prevent others from detecting, and then asked: "Okay, nephew, now what can I say!"
The curtain then told the news that he had heard to Hyaksan one by one
"Virtuous nephew, you said Zhang Rui was going to be poisoned?" Bai Zhan first was an accident, and then seemed to take it for granted.
"Black Lost Powder...... Thank you for telling me that this time Zhang Rui's conspiracy will definitely fail. Uncle Bai, I have a request here, I don't know if my nephew can agree to it. Bai Zhan said.
"What request?" Makumi muttered, after telling the story, Makumi felt that everything should be responsible for Baizhan and that he would have to trouble himself.
"It's nothing, it's just to ask the virtuous nephew to hide and secretly hold the shadow stone, and then record all this. ”
Without waiting for the curtain to speak, Bai Zhan continued: "Zhang Rui is suspected of having an initiator behind him, although I am confident, I also have to prevent some unexpected situations. I know very well that my nephew has space star power, and if there is a crisis at that time, I can teleport away and inform the envoy. Moreover, Uncle Bai, I will give you a jade talisman, which can resist the blow of the initiator, so that the safety of the virtuous nephew can be guaranteed. ”
"If all goes well, this jade talisman will be a small gift for my nephew. ”
Hearing Bai Zhan say this, Mu Yu felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and he could also get a jade talisman, which was good, so he agreed.
"Virtuous nephew, you can go and see Rou'er now, and wait until noon to have a family banquet together. Bai Zhan then said with a smile.
"He Su! Take the young master to find Rou'er. ”
At this time, he found a white-haired old man walking in, with linen clothes and cloth shoes, although simple but not shabby.
His eyes were cloudy, his face was wrinkled, there was a large mole at the corner of his mouth, there was a long white hair on it, and only a few white beards were vaguely standing firm on his chin, and when he walked, he seemed to be fluttering in the wind, swaying, as if he would fall to the ground at any time.
is such a late old man, but Mu Wei feels that his strength is not weak, and he is also a star realm powerhouse.
"Yes, sir. "The voice is as low as a fly and an ant, and it lacks the middle air, but it reaches the ears.
He bowed to Baizhan and then walked with He Su.
Walk through ponds, bluestone paths, and pavilion paths.
He Su seems to be slow and leisurely, but the speed is not slow, looking at He Su's back, the curtain feels a little strange, but he can't say it.
"Young Master Mu, it's here!" He Su finished speaking, and then left.
Makuki was stunned for a moment, just let yourself be here alone, don't you worry about anything?
