Early the next morning, Xiao Mu took Xiao Cup's former subordinates to drive away Jin Cai's people, and in just a few days, he replaced all the people that Jin Cai had replaced.

Xiao Mu and Xiao Shou stood on the city tower and looked into the distance: "Young Master, what are you going to do with Jin Cai?" ”

Xiao Mu thought for a while and said, "This kind of person can't stay in Maple Leaf City, expel his entire family from the city, and execute him immediately if he finds it in the city!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Shou asked, "Then who is the position of deputy city lord now... ”

"I remember that there used to be a man named Gongqing next to my father."

"There is indeed this person, Gongqing is brave and good at shooting, when Maple Leaf City was attacked, the city lord and the city lord's wife were not in the city, he carried it outside the city gate until the city lord came back!" Xiao Shou said: "When Jin Cai was in charge of Maple Leaf City, he didn't change him after changing so many people. Gongqing didn't want to be used by him, so he packed up his things and went home overnight, Jin Cai showed him all kinds of goodwill, he refused to leave, but Jin Cai chased after him and gave up his life, and Gongqing felt annoyed and beat people out directly, Jin Cai saw that Gongqing was not used for himself and did not delay himself, so he gave up. ”

"Uncle Shaw, do you know where he lives now?" Xiao Mu asked.

"It's in Nine Tails Alley in the west of the city!"

"Right in the middle of the city?" Xiao Mu was stunned, he always thought that Gongqing had left Maple Leaf City, but he didn't expect him to be still in the city!

Xiao Mu turned around: "Go to Nine Tails Lane now!" ”

"The old slave is going to prepare the carriage and horses!" Xiao Shou immediately followed.

——————————

The two came to Jiuwei Alley, and at this time Xiao Mu found that this place was completely opposite to the Maple Leaf City he knew: "I didn't expect it to be so cold here!" ”

"Young master, this used to be a vacant land, and the people here all fled here, and the city lord saw that they were pitiful, so he allocated the land here to them, and gave the people here money and materials to build houses to live in."

Xiao Mu then understood why everyone avoided him when he was driven out of the City Lord's Mansion by Jin Cai, but every time he came to the west of the city, everyone was amiable and gave him food!

"Mother, I'm out!" At this moment, a burly, thick-eyebrowed, square-faced man walked out of a small courtyard carrying a sack.

The man was stunned as soon as he saw Xiao Mu and Xiao Shou, and the sack on his shoulder also fell to the ground. Then he fell to his knees with a thud: "Little boy! ”

"What did you say?" When the old woman in the courtyard heard this, she immediately put down the things in her hand and ran to the door, looked at Xiao Mu and asked her son who was kneeling on the ground: "Is he?" ”

"Mother, this is the son of the city lord Xiao that I often mention, Xiao Mu!"

"Ahh The old woman hurriedly knelt down with her son: "I've seen Xiao Gongzi!" ”

Seeing this, Xiao Mu hurriedly stepped forward to help the old woman: "Grandma, this can't be helped, please get up quickly!" ”

"Hurry up, get inside!" The old woman got up and took Xiao Mu's hand and walked home, turning back to greet her son as she walked: "Gongqing, come into the house and serve tea to Xiao Gongzi!" ”

"Huh!" Gongqing immediately picked up the sack on the ground and ran home, poured tea and handed it to Xiao Mu: "Xiao Gongzi!" ”

Xiao Mu took the tea, and then got up and saluted: "Actually, I came this time to ask for something!" ”

The old woman hurriedly pulled Xiao Mu to sit down and said, "Our family's lives are all given by the city lord of Xiao, and Xiao Gongzi can directly order if he has something!" ”

Xiao Mu got up and helped the old woman sit down: "Grandma, you sit first!" Then he said: "I came this time to ask Uncle Gongqing to go back and serve as the deputy city lord to guard Maple Leaf City for my father, I wonder if Uncle Gongqing is willing?" Does Grandma agree? ”

"This..." Gongqing looked at Xiao Shou, and Xiao Shou nodded.

"You don't hold the position of lord of the city?" Gongqing asked.

"My dad went to find a way to save my mother and still hasn't returned, I want to go out and find them!"

“。。。。” Gongqing turned his head to look at Xiao Shou, and Xiao Shou nodded.

"Young Master, what did you just say?" Xiao Shou suddenly reacted, what Xiao Mu had just said.

"I'm going to find my dad!" Xiao Mu said.

"This...

"Young Master, what should you do if you leave the City Lord's Mansion? What to do with Maple Leaf City? The two spoke in unison.

Xiao Mu looked at Gongqing with a smile: "So I'm here to ask Uncle Gongqing for help!" After speaking, he looked at Xiao Shou: "Let's talk about the City Lord's Mansion, isn't there still you!" ”

Just when Gongqing hesitated, Gongqing's mother grabbed Gongqing's ear: "Xiao Gongzi asked you to go, you will go, have you forgotten the great kindness of the city lord Xiao to our family?" Then I'll help you remember! ”

"It hurts, it hurts。。。。。 Let go, let go, there are so many people! Gongqing shouted with a leaning back.

"Are you going or not?"

"Go, go, I'll go, you let go!" Gongqing bared his teeth and begged for mercy.

Xiao Mu thought it was funny, but he didn't expect that the rumored Gongqing, who was not smiling, also had such a side.

On the way back, Xiao Shou asked Xiao Mu: "Young Master, do you really want to leave?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Mu said: "When my father left, he said that as long as the Demon Spirit Bead and the Heavenly Dao Seal could save my mother, but he has not been heard from for five years, I want to go to him!" ”

Xiao Shou knew that he couldn't stop him, so he spoke: "When are you leaving?" ”

"Leave in three days!"

Xiao Shou nodded: "When I go back, the old slave will prepare something for you to bring when you go out!" ”

"Hmm!"

——————————

At night, Xiao Mu was alone in the secret room in a daze, and this was the spirit of determination appearing in front of him: "You never said that you were going to find your father. ”

"Because I haven't been able to go to him before!" Xiao Mu replied.

The Spirit of Determination asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Mu suddenly knelt down: "Ask Master to tell me the truth!" Xiao Mu's move made the spirit of decision stunned: "You... ”

Xiao Mu interrupted the words of the Spirit of Determination: "You said that what can save my mother is not a demon spirit bead at all, it is just a lie that my father used to deceive me!" ”

"Do you know why your father lied to you?"

"I don't know, but I must go to him!" Xiao Mu said firmly.

The Spirit of Determination sighed, "That's because the thing that can save your mother is in the Ancient Witch Clan!" ”

"Ancient Witches?" Xiao Mu looked up at the Spirit of Determination: "What kind of place is that?" ”

The Spirit of Determination looked at Xiao Mu: "You get up." Xiao Mu got up and said: "The ancient witch clan is in the wasteland, the wasteland does not grow a single grass, there are twelve ancestral witches sealed there, and the outside world also calls them the twelve demon gods, the twelve demon gods are born with extremely strong bodies, and have the ability to devour heaven and earth, manipulate feng shui thunder and lightning, fill mountains and move seas, and change the heavens and the earth." ”

"So strong? So how did they get sealed? Xiao Mu asked.

The Spirit of Determination snorted coldly: "Hmph! How could the gods of the fairy realm seal the twelve demon gods alone, they used the beast as a seal to seal the twelve demon gods! ”

"Beasts?"

"Hmm!" The Spirit of Determination touched his beard and nodded: "That beast has lived for thousands of years, and its whole body is invulnerable to golden scales, and it is said that it has sealed the twelve demon gods, but in fact, it itself has been sealed." ”

"If it will also be sealed, why would it be willing to cooperate?" Xiao Mu asked.

"That's not even the Celestial Realm's dirty tricks!" The Spirit of Determination said disdainfully: "At the beginning, the beast made a mistake, and the heavenly realm couldn't do anything about him, so he gave it a heavenly calamity, and the heavenly realm deceived the beast in exchange for lifting the heavenly tribulation, saying that as long as it was willing to cooperate with the sealing of the twelve demon gods, it would lift the heavenly tribulation on it!" ”

"Did you solve it later?"

The Spirit of Determination smiled: "He has been deceived into being a seal, who will help him lift the Heavenly Tribulation after sealing the Twelve Demon Gods!" ”

"So what does this have to do with my dad?"

"If you want to save your mother, the only thing you have is the golden scales on the top of the beast's head!" The Spirit of Determination said.

"Is there anything different about that scale?"

"Although the whole body of the beast is covered with golden scales, only that scale carries the spiritual power of the beast!"

"What happens when the scales are gone?" Xiao Mu continued to ask.

"If it hadn't been sealed, it would have grown out of it for a thousand years without scales!" The Spirit of Determination paused and continued: "But now to take this scale means to break the seal, not to mention that this seal is difficult to solve and the twelve demon gods and beasts, just the heavenly realm, do you think they will let you take the scales?" ”

"I see!" Xiao Mu lowered his head.

"Young master, it's not good!" This is Xiao Shou shouting outside the door of the secret room: "The little bell has been taken away!" ”

"What?" Xiao Mu hurriedly walked to the door: "Who is so bold and dares to come to the City Lord's Mansion to rob people?" ”

"I don't know!" Xiao Shou was sweating profusely: "That man covered his face with an iron mask and couldn't see what he looked like at all, but I heard the little bell shouting Longda!" ”

"What's left?"

"Nothing!" According to Xiao Shou's recollection, he was preparing to take his things to Xiao Mu's room at that time, but he found that there was no one in the corridor of the other courtyard, and he was just about to leave when he saw the little bell running towards him in a panic, and there was a man in black chasing after him.

"Uncle Shaw, run!" Before Xiao Shou could react, he was attacked from behind, after Xiao Shou fell, he watched the little bell being taken away, and in a trance, he only heard the little bell shouting: Uncle Xiao, Long Da... Ronda! After waking up, he hurriedly ran to find Xiao Mu.

"Uncle Xiao, you go to the people in the lower mansion first and see if they have anything to do, and I'll come right away!"

"Okay, the old slave is going!" After Xiao Shou finished speaking, he hurriedly walked outside.

After Xiao Shou left, Xiao Mu returned to the secret room and asked the spirit of decision: "Do you know the person named Long Da?" ”

"Ronda?" The Spirit of Determination touched his beard and thought, "I don't know! ”

"It's definitely not ordinary people who can make the little bell have no room to fight back, think about it again!"

"But I really don't know any Longda, I don't even have the surname Long。。。。。" Halfway through his words, the Spirit of Determination suddenly seemed to remember something, and then said: "I really don't know who Long Da is, but Lingyun City Lord Long Qiusu does all kinds of evil, and... ”

"And what?" Xiao Mu immediately asked.

"And she has been using the blood of the girl as a blood sacrifice to help her practice,!" After hearing this, Xiao Mu ran out directly.

Seeing this, the Spirit of Determination shouted, "What are you anxious about? It's not necessarily her who catches the little bell! ”

As soon as Xiao Mu came out of the secret room, Xiao Shou greeted him: "Young master, everyone has been found, it's all right, but they were knocked unconscious, I just went to check, there is no one surnamed Long in our city!" ”

"There is no one with the surname Dragon?"

"There used to be one, but it moved away decades ago, and this city is clearly remembered!"

At this time, Xiao Mu thought back to what the Spirit of Determination said, and immediately turned around and said, "Prepare the horse, I'll leave tonight!" ”

"What?"

"I'm going to Lingyun City, after I leave, you will go to Gongqing, look for the little bell with him in this city, and I will send you a message when I get to Lingyun City!"

"But the luggage is not ready yet!"

"If you have money, you can do it!"

"I'll go to the account room and prepare it for you!"
