The next morning, when the morning sun shone again over Kyoshi, the streets were surprisingly quiet. When the small merchants and vendors came out of their houses tremblingly, they found that the east and west cities where the dignitaries lived were silent, as if they were empty cities. However, no one dared to take a step. The coercion that has been built up for a long time is not something that can be eliminated by one or two strange things.

For three days in a row, the east city, the west city, and the imperial city were silent, and even the soldiers who usually patrolled the city could not see a single person, and the imperial city had not opened for three days, and no one even answered the door of the water wheel. There were those who had the courage to step into the eastern and western cities as an errand boy in the mansion of a large family, but they saw nothing but blood that had frozen into ice on the ground. There was not even a shadow of a corpse.

When the first person dared to take the first ingots from the house, the looting began......

Putting aside the chaotic Jingshi, Li Mu at this time was already on the road to Qingliang Temple.

After spending the night sweeping the high-ranking members of the Qing court, Li Mu set foot on the road to Qingliang Temple overnight. Because, the paper can't contain the fire, and the matter of the Qing court's high-level destruction overnight will soon be discovered, and when the time comes, whether it is Geerdan, Zheng Jingyi, Mu Wangfu, Tiandihui, or Wu Sangui and others will be revealed, and then it will cause a chain reaction, and it will be even more difficult for him to find the book as soon as Shunzhi moves. Therefore, Li Mu had to speed up and rush to Qingliang Temple. However, along the way, in addition to rushing and resting, the most he did was to find out where there were haunted mansions nearby.

There is no way, the specific location of the Zhuang family's mansion is not given in the original book, Li Mu can only follow the route to Qingliang Temple and inquire all the way. Of course, there are also many false and wrong addresses along the way. even strayed into a bandit's station, but Li Mu killed all these people casually, and then his pockets swelled a little more.

The emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and finally on a starry night, Li Mu finally found the mansion where the Zhuang family lived in seclusion. Li Mu first used the basic illusion technique to hide his appearance and made sure that it was indeed the old and young of the dealer's house, and then he went around in a big circle and changed into his original appearance. Then he carried the incense burner and wax skewer used to commemorate the dead, and the three animal tributes entered the mansion.

After Li Mu entered the mansion, he bypassed the main hall and walked directly into the east courtyard, several rooms in the east courtyard were changed into mourning halls, and several spiritual seats were enshrined in each room, and it seemed that each family had a separate mourning hall.

Li Mu searched every room, whether it was or not, he inserted three pillars of incense to show his respect, and finally stopped until he found Zhuang Sanye's mourning hall, placed various sacrifices on the incense table, and finally took out Wu Zhirong's head and placed it on the offering table.

After placing these things, Li Mu arched his hand to the spiritual position of Zhuang Sanye in the mourning hall, "Zhuang Sanye, you and I have never known each other, but I have been friends with you for a long time, but I have not been able to get along because of miscellaneous matters, but today I am separated by heaven and man, Mr. Wen is to rebuild the history of the Ming Dynasty for the traitor Wu Zhirong and Ao Bai, Ao Bai has been killed by the emperor, and my brother can't sleep at night and hate to avenge this thief for his brother." Fortunately, today's traitor Wu Zhirong can also be regarded as avenging his dead brother, and I wish the third young master to ascend to bliss as soon as possible. After speaking, Li Mu took out three incense sticks to light them, bowed to the spiritual position a few times, and then inserted them into the incense burner.

There was silence in the mourning hall.

Li Mu stared at the spirit position for a moment, sighed and was about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the mourning hall, and after a while, a woman with a vegetarian body came over and bowed to Li Muyingying, "Thank you, Mr. for coming to worship the deceased husband." ”

Seeing this, Li Mu probably guessed that this was Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother, so he also returned the courtesy, "Sanshao Grandma doesn't need to be polite, although I haven't met Zhuang Sanshao, but I have been friends for a long time, and I can be regarded as an old man, so young grandma doesn't have to be polite." It's a pity that we haven't met, which is a great pity. ”

"It's also a blessing for my husband to have a friend like Mr., but can Mr. let me see the head of the dog official who killed my husband." After Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother finished speaking, she gave a deep salute to Li Mu.

"This is naturally fine," Li Mu said, lighting the candle in the hall, and then holding the torch at Wu Zhirong's head.

"Sure enough, this dog official, the third master, Ao Bai and Wu Zhirong, the two dog thieves, have been killed, presumably you can also be blind under Jiuquan." After seeing Wu Zhirong's face clearly, Grandma Zhuang San took a sip, and then knelt in front of the spirit and cried bitterly. Seeing this, Li Mu also took some paper money and put it in the copper basin in front of the spirit and burned it.

After a while, Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother stopped crying and said a deep blessing to Li Mu, at this time, there was also a voice from outside the mourning hall, "This gentleman, thank you for killing the dog official Wu Zhirong, avenging the blood and hatred for our family, great kindness, I don't know how to repay it." The long window opened, and dozens of women in white outside the window bowed to the ground.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be," Li Mu waved his hand and stepped aside, "I just did something for my friend, and I don't deserve such a big gift from you." ”

Outside, the crowd still bowed to the ground, and soon wept loudly. Li Mu knew that they were crying for their relatives, so he stood aside.

After a long time, the crying gradually stopped, and many white-clothed women outside the object retreated, and then Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother said to Li Mu, "I haven't asked Engong's name for so long, I'm really ashamed, I don't know Engong's noble surname, and I will pay homage to Engong's immortal tablet every day in the future." ”

"In Xia Li Mu, a reckless man is just a reckless person, you don't have to be like this. I'm really ashamed to be under it. Li Mu waved his hand, signaling that Grandma Zhuang Sanshao didn't need to be polite.

"It turns out that Engong is Li Mu, Li Daxia." Grandma Zhuang Sanshao showed a surprised expression. "I have never seen your Excellency before, but it is really a blessing to see you today."

As soon as Li Mu saw that Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother's expression did not seem to be fake, he knew that it was his title conqueror who was at work. In the martial arts world of Lu Ding Ji, Li Mu's title was naturally localized into Li Daxia.

Grandma Zhuang Sanshao pondered for a moment and then said to Li Mu, "Li Daxia, originally you avenged your late husband with a deep vengeance of the sea of blood, which is already a great kindness to us, and it is difficult to repay it in this life and this life, but there is still a reluctant request in the future, and I hope that Engong can agree." ”

"Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother said that it doesn't matter, as long as Li can do it, he will naturally not refuse." Li Mu said calmly.

Grandma Zhuang Sanshao pulled a girl from behind her, and saw that the girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with her head on her head and two mustaches, a snow-white face, small eyebrows, and a smile like a flower. "This little girl, Shuang'er, has followed me for many years, and she has done things properly, so we gave it to Engong, please take it, and serve Engong from now on. Shuang'er is still young, she shouldn't follow us who are still alive and die in the mountains, she should follow Engong to see the outside world. Grandma Zhuang Sanshao paused here and then said, "Although Shuang'er is young, his skills are also quite dexterous, and he will not become a burden to his father, although rest assured." ”

Li Mu looked at Zhuang Sanshao's grandmother and then at Shuang'er, at this time Shuang'er's cheeks were already crimson, and a pair of lacquer-like eyes showed an eager look, so he asked with a smile: "Shuang'er, are you willing to wander the rivers and lakes with me?" You must know that the mountains and rivers are high and the roads are far away, and the people's hearts are sinister and not as clean and safe as here. ”

Shuang'er lowered her head and said softly: "The third young lady asked me to serve Engong, naturally...... Naturally, you have to listen to the instructions of the three young grandmothers. ”

"What about your own will, then?" Li Mu asked again.

"Madame treats me like a mountain, Engong has great kindness to my dealer, Madame asks me to serve Engong, I will try my best to serve Gongzi, Gongzi treats me well, it is my life that treats me well, and it is my ...... It's my life. Shuang'er replied with her head down.

"Your life will be fine, as long as I have a bite to eat, I won't starve you for half a point."
