After noon, a carriage was driving in the mountains and forests, Cao Tieyi bit the dog's tail grass at the corner of his mouth to catch the car in front, Mu Bai got out of the carriage and said: "This carriage is very stuffy inside, I came out to breathe." ”

Cao Tieyi gave a place to Mu Bai, Mu Bai looked at the bandages on Cao Tieyi's body and said, "Otherwise, I'll catch the car here, you can go and rest first." Cao Tieyi waved his hand and said, "I can't help it! Mr. Mu should go in." ”

Mu Bai snatched the reins and said, "What's the matter, you're injured now." Isn't the most important thing for you soldiers to obey orders? I order you to go in and rest. ”

Cao Tieyi moved his lips and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Mu." With that, he got into the carriage.

Mu Bai drove the carriage and said, "After you leave the city, please help me investigate a girl named Cui Xinyu and her family." Cao Tieyi nodded and replied, "The last general has an order!" Mr. Mu, the city lord also said in the letter that this demon incident is a bit strange, what do you think?"

Mu Bai looked at the tall city wall in front of him, pumped his horse hard, leaned against the carriage door and said, "Let's take a look for the time being, I heard that this time it was the Bitter Lotus monk who discovered the demon, and it seems that he also suffered from the demon." ”

The carriage came all the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Fang Lin personally received Mu Bai at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, and said enthusiastically after seeing the carriage: "Mr. Mu, I have been waiting for you for a long time, the Master of Hard Training was injured by a demon, and the whole people who left the city were waiting for you in panic." ”

Mu Bai jumped out of the carriage, pointed to the inside and said, "General Cao was injured in a fight with the demons of Xiangshi Village, and the city lord of the trouble arranged for General Cao to recuperate from his injuries. ”

Fang Lin was startled and asked, "Mr. Mo Feimu also encountered a demon when he went to investigate! General Cao was actually injured, I think that demon must be very powerful." ”

Mu Bai took Cao Tieyi off the carriage and said, "City Lord Fang has heard of the Netherworld Blood Tree? ”

Fang Lin hurriedly arranged for the doctor to treat Cao Tieyi's injuries, Cao Tieyi smiled and said, "City Lord Fang, don't panic, my injuries have healed for the most part, just recuperate." ”

Fang Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't heard of it, but there may be information about this thing in the library pavilion in the city, I'll send someone to check it later." Mr. Mu has ever been injured when he encounters a demon? There is a good pill in my house. ”

Mu Bai waved his hand and said, "No need, you give me the file of the demon, eradicate the demon as soon as possible, and the people who leave the city can live in peace as soon as possible." Fang Lin hurriedly said, "The file has been placed in Mr. Mu's bedroom, and I have prepared a banquet for the two of you." ”

Mu Bai excused himself and said: "Forget the banquet, there is something I want to ask the city lord Fang, when I went to Baoqi Town to eradicate the demons this time, Zhang Shanglang of Xiangshi Village had merit, I want to ask the city lord of Fang to give him an idle petty official, and the best place to serve is in Baoqi Town." ”

After hearing this, Fang Lin patted his chest and said: "That's natural, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, I will immediately arrange someone to give him an errand." Mu Bai hurriedly thanked: "Then thank you City Lord Fang." ”

Fang Lin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Those who have merit in punishing demons in the city, and those who have merit in leaving the city should be rewarded, this is a matter within the city." ”

Mu Bai pondered for a moment and said: "I am going to Baoqi Town, I heard that the post governor who went to inspect often asks for money and property from the village, can you remove the post of post governor, so as not to incur the anger of the people." ”

Fang Lin said with a sad face: "The postal governor system often loots people's fat and people's ointment, I have heard of it for a long time. It's just that the postal supervision system has the support of the Liu family, I'm afraid it's not so easy to cancel. ”

Mu Bai sighed and said, "It's the Liu family again, this Liu family is really a rat out of the city." Fang Lin also sighed and said, "The Liu family uses the postal governor system to collect additional taxes, and I have long wanted to ban it. But several times the action was destroyed by the Liu family, if Mr. Mu wants to ban the postal supervision system, we are afraid that we have to think in the long run. ”

Mu Bai bowed his head and said: "In this case, let's deal with the demons in the city first, and I'll go to the file first." After saying goodbye to Fang Lin.

After Cao Tieyi saw Mu Bai leaving, he also said: "If I am injured, I should not drink and meat, and I will not trouble the city lord Fang." Fang Lin looked at the bandages on Cao Tieyi's body and said, "That's natural, I'll arrange for the best doctor to leave the city to recuperate for you." ”

That night, Cao Tieyi pushed open Mu Bai's door, and saw Mu Bai sitting at his desk reading the file, Cao Tieyi sat down and said, "Mr. Mu, that family has been found, and the materials are all here." After speaking, he handed Mu Bai a booklet.

Mu Bai opened the booklet, which recorded the detailed information of Cui Xinyu's family. Mu Bai thanked: "Excuse me, if you are injured, you have to help me investigate this information." ”

Cao Tieyi shook his head and asked strangely, "Why did Mr. Mu suddenly investigate this family?" Mu Bai put the booklet away and said, "This is the family of that girl in the Nether Blood Tree. ”

Cao Tieyi was surprised: "I see, do you have any plans?" Mu Bai sighed and said, "I just want to see her family." ”

Cao Tieyi looked at the file on the table and asked, "How is the demon this time?" Mu Bai picked up the file and shook it and said: "This time the file is very detailed, it is a heart eater who injured Kulian and fled, and even knows the direction of escape. ”

Cao Tieyi got up and said goodbye: "Then it should be easy to get it this time, it's not too early, I'll go back and rest first." After Mu Bai sent Cao Tieyi away, he took the file and looked at it carefully, then shook his head and put the file down.

After Cao Tieyi left, an old scholar knocked on the door of Mu Bai's room. The old scholar handed a yellowed book to Mu Bai and said, "It was City Lord Fang who entrusted me to give you the information of the Nether Blood Tree. ”

Mu Bai hurriedly took the book and thanked the old scholar. The old scholar touched his white beard and said: "The Nether Blood Tree was found by me from this ancient book, I only know that this tree is a demon in ancient times, and the detailed record of it has long been lost. Now it is estimated that the Nether Blood Tree has long been extinct, I wonder why you are suddenly looking for this kind of ancient demon tree trunk?"

Mu Bai said honestly: "Most of the demon injuries that left the city this time were caused by the Netherworld Blood Tree. The old scholar shouted, "Impossible! The Nether Blood Tree has been extinct for thousands of years, how could it suddenly appear in the city." ”

Mu Bai said: "It's true, this time General Cao was injured by the Netherworld Blood Tree. Since the Nether Blood Tree has not appeared for a thousand years, it may not be a coincidence that it suddenly appeared in Licheng this time, and I ask you to inform City Lord Fang to investigate this matter. The old pedant nodded, and walked away.

The next morning, Mu Bai came to the door of a grocery store, and the boss with pale temples asked, "Do you want anything from the guest?" Mu Bai picked out a lot of things, and the boss asked in astonishment: "Is the guest a new mover to buy something?" Mu Bai nodded, and then asked, "Boss, how is your family living?" The boss paused for a moment and said, "Okay, it's all good." Mu Bai left the grocery store, and the owner of the grocery store burst into tears.
