Chapter 074: Reason
Mu Shuning and Luo Zhu glanced at each other after the guy's voice fell.
A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence.
Mu Shuning didn't have time to ask anything, this guy first said that he hadn't touched the book of heaven, the city was strictly investigated, Luo Zhu and King An and the two of them stirred up the ups and downs in this small city, man, this is probably also a way to protect himself.
Mu Shuning staggered his gaze, he didn't care too much about the words of the man, in this world, who lives not for himself, the man's words can also be understood, and Mu Shuning will no longer be too entangled.
He asked instead, "I have a few questions for you, and if you know it, it's good to say it, and if you don't know, you can't say it clearly." ”
The guy nodded, mentally prepared.
Mu Shuning asked, "Where is the Book of Heaven?" ”
The man's body was very stiff, and he had to think for a long time when he answered: "I...... I remember it was under an old locust tree in the southwest corner of the city. ”
"Do those people show up there every day, or is there a fixed pattern?"
The guy shook his head: "It used to be once every seven days, but recently, I heard that the immortal masters on the other side came to check, and they never came out." ”
"So after the news came out of the city, no one has been to that southwest corner again?"
"At the beginning, there were still people who went, but every time they went, they were empty, and then slowly no one went, and I didn't dare to take risks."
The man's words were very popular, but they were also reasonable, Mu Shuning fell into deep thought for a while and stopped asking.
The little guy was always trembling, as soon as he answered Mu Shuning's words, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Mu Shuning, Luo Zhu even suspected that this little guy didn't tell the truth, otherwise why didn't he dare to look at Mu Shuning's eyes?
After pondering, Mu Shuning asked again: "Why do those people only show up once in seven days?" ”
The young man shook his head violently this time: "I really don't know about this, those people are all capable people, they may have to save a certain amount of heavenly books in seven days before selling them, or there are another group of people above them, these things are not something that ordinary people like us can know casually." ”
Seeing that this young man was really nervous, Mu Shuning didn't want to embarrass him, so he planned to let him go directly, and then the three of them went to the old locust tree to explore.
Qi Yin, who had been listening silently on the side, suddenly opened his mouth: "Do you know what those people look like?" ”
The young man was taken aback.
He almost jumped up from the stool, but he managed to steady, and his face turned pale at the thought of Ziin's question.
Luo Zhu was also very curious, he leaned over: "Eh, man, don't be afraid, we won't eat you again, do you know what those people look like?" ”
The young man's head was about to shake into a rattle: "No, I really don't know this, I've never been there, how can I know ......"
After speaking, he glanced at Qi Yin without any flaws, but he was frightened by Qi Yin's cold appearance, shrank for a moment, and honestly withdrew his gaze.
Qi Yin, I don't know if it's because he is carrying two swords on his back, the bloody aura on his whole body is extremely heavy, with a ruthless posture, just let the timid guy be scared enough to look at it.
Mu Shuning was a little surprised, he didn't know that Qi Yin could have such a shocking side before, but today he saw it.
Qi Yin and Luo Zhu were red-faced, Mu Shuning could only make that white face, and he smiled helplessly: "Don't be afraid, we have nothing to do with those 'immortal masters' in your mouth, and we are also people who want to buy heavenly books, but when we came here, we found that this side had been banned, so we came up with this decision to find you to ask what the specific situation is." ”
As soon as he heard that Mu Shuning and they were not here to arrest him, the young man's face immediately improved a lot, and his speech became smoother: "Guest officer, you have to think clearly, you can't buy those people's heavenly books, if this is found, you will be detained in the soul and tortured for thousands of eight hundred years, and you will not be able to live for more than one!" ”
Mu Shuning raised his eyebrows slightly, while Luo Zhu on the side blinked innocently.
"It's okay, we also know the measure, if you know the appearance of those people, can you describe them to us specifically?"
The young man was still a little hesitant, but after a while, Xu was pity and sympathy for the three of them in his heart, and saw that they were really eager to ask for books, so he was ruthless and told the truth.
"Three guest officers, I only said it because you were your own, if someone asks after you go out, you must not say that I told you."
Mu Shuning smiled: "You can rest assured." ”
"I'm ashamed to say that I was cautious just now, and I asked the three guest officers to forgive me, but I swear, except for this one, I will be true to everything else."
The guy looked at Mu Shuning, and Mu Shuning saw that he looked sincere, smiled, shook his head, and said that he would not be investigated.
The guy breathed a sigh of relief: "I, I've actually been to that place, and I'm ...... I've seen those four people. ”
"Four people?" Luo Zhu answered, and asked his own questions.
The young man relaxed a lot, he looked at Luo Zhu, and said: "They are all covered faces, and their appearance can't be seen at all, but looking at the body type, it should be three men and one woman, and there is a man who carries a big knife on his back, because the knife is too big, I am a little more impressed, and the other three people don't have too obvious characteristics." ”
As soon as he heard the "knife", Qi Yin's brows furrowed fiercely.
Mu Shuning also felt that the saber could be used to make a breakthrough, this clue really helped them a lot, and in order to show his sincerity, Mu Shuning stuffed a silver ingot into the guy again.
The guy left with a thousand thanks.
When the guy closed the door, Luo Zhu felt it carefully, and after making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside the door, he was the first to say: "My God, there are only four people, I thought it must be a big organization, but it turned out that only four people almost collapsed the entire Dayin." ”
Mu Shuning twisted his eyebrows: "So exaggerated? ”
"Don't look at their base camp in Ruan Nan, but almost all of Da Yin knows that Ruan Nan is such a small place with a heart to sell, and those people in other places who want to cultivate and want to go crazy are eager to go bankrupt and come here to buy such a broken book, or this is not shallow?"
Mu Shuning suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.
"Why don't we eat first, and then wait until it's dark, and then go to the southwest." ”
Qi Yin's words went directly to Mu Shuning's heart, he nodded, and nodded politely towards Qi Yin.
Luo Zhu has no objection, after all, it is easy to hide people's eyes and ears after dark, and it is easier to check things, and it is ...... After dark, some people let their guard down.
The three of them didn't like to talk when they ate, and for a while, there was silence at the dinner table. By the time he finished eating, the sun had not completely set, and in the process of waiting for the sky to completely darken, Mu Shuning suddenly thought of the guy who said that once he was found, he would be drained of his soul and would be tortured for thousands of years.
He turned his head to look at Luo Zhu, who was full of food and drink, and was lying on his back on the chair with his belly patted to digest his food.
Mu Shuning asked: "Luo Zhu, I heard that if you find out that it is related to those cultivation formulas, 'if this is found, it will be detained in the soul and tortured for thousands of eight hundred years, and you will not be able to be reborn'...... And this kind of thing? ”
Mu Shuning learned the words of his buddy and repeated them vividly, Luo Zhu was stunned for a moment and sat up.
"How is that possible? The Heavenly Dao people only sent me over, and only Prince An came over on the Da Yin side, just the two of us, and still smoke their souls? And let them not be overborn? We'll have to see if the two of us have the ability......"
As he spoke, the state of the whole person changed, from the beginning of laziness and laziness to sharpness.
Mu Shuning also noticed: "If only the two of you came to investigate this matter, why would it spread throughout Ruan Nan?" And the content of ......" is so exaggerated.
"It's also strange, as soon as the two of us met in Ruan Nannei, the next day, the city spread the news that someone from the cultivation realm had come to investigate this matter...... The investigation between the two of us is almost impossible to move forward, otherwise it would not have been so long without progress......"
In the end, Luo Zhu didn't forget to find out what he hadn't found out for so many days.
Qi Yin paused word by word: "Someone deliberately made a ghost behind his back." ”
At this point, Mu Shuning couldn't figure it out: "Then what's the good of them spreading the news?" Who will profit? ”
Qi Yin shook his head: "It doesn't have to be anyone's profit, maybe there is a party's interests that are damaged, as long as it is not the disseminator of the news, it is meaningful." ”
Luo Zhu's expression became more and more solemn: "And the one with the knife, he makes me care a lot." ”
Mu Shuning's eyebrows furrowed.
Now, according to the inference, the person who can obtain that kind of high-level low-level cultivation method must be a person from the cultivation realm, otherwise he would not have made a huge profit from it.
In the cultivation realm, only the Star Pivot Gate uses the sword as a weapon.
And the other sects really don't use knives. Cultivators go against the sky, and they are all proud in their bones, and the sword, handsome and chic, as a weapon is the best choice for cultivators, but as soon as the knife appears, it will be less beautiful, so except for the Xingshumen family, no cultivator will choose to use the knife as his weapon.
If this matter is involved in one of the four major sects, then the matter will be a big problem.
Mu Shuning took a deep breath and didn't dare to think about it again.
Luo Zhu now also knew what Mu Shuning had in mind, and he held a hint of luck: "What if it's the Demon Clan, the Demon Clan doesn't pay attention to the twists and turns of our cultivation realm." ”
Ziin suddenly interjected: "Impossible. ”
Mu Shuning and Luo Zhu were stunned at the same time, and even the expressions that suddenly looked at Qi Yin were synchronized.
Qi Yin said: "Although I am not a cultivator, but I also know a little about the things in the cultivation realm, I only know that Yan Qingshi, the head of the Jingqiong Mountain Sect, split the Demon Mountain with a sword and placed a seal in it, as long as the seal is not broken, no demon clan can come out of that gap." ”
