Chapter Eighty-Four: Wanted
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing Ba Junming's wail before he died, Hu Jiuyang looked confused: "What does this have to do with me?" β
Li Mu was surprised and amused, but he instantly understood this reason: "This person doesn't know where I came from, and he can't report my name before he dies, but Wanhualou is here, and in the future, the master of his door will thoroughly investigate this matter, and he will start with Wanhualou, if Hu Jiuyang doesn't want to be responsible, he will definitely leave me, or at least figure out my heels, so that he can let me go."
Otherwise, the master of Langming Mountain came to the door, and Hu Jiuyang was afraid that he would not be able to explain it. β
Li Mu's mind turned, and he looked at Hu Jiuyang, and found that Hu Jiuyang's eyes flashed, and he also looked at himself, and under the eyes of the two, they both knew that the other party understood the meaning of Ba Junming's wail before he died.
"This Daoist brother ......"
Hu Jiuyang's eyes flashed, and he smiled at Li Mu: "This Ba Junming of Langming Mountain is ruthless, attempted to kill, but was killed by the victim, and will report to the official in a while, I can use this matter as a witness." β
Li Mu was stunned and said, "Report to the official? When monks fight with each other, do they still have to go through the government? β
Hu Jiuyang explained: "Now that Master Zhou is sitting in Yunzhou Mansion, it is strictly forbidden for monks to kill and injure people in private, and if there is really a murder case, you have to report it to the government and let the government come to deal with it." You can rest assured, Master Zhou is the most honest and fair for today's mansion, and it is not your fault in this matter, and he will never blame you. β
Li Mu said with a smile: "If the master is really fair and honest this week, why is the county under his rule starving and dying, and countless deaths?" I came from the county below, and there were countless victims along the way, and there were countless people who sold their children and daughters. β
Hu Jiuyang said: "Brother Dao, you may have misunderstood him!" Zhou Fuzi's governance of a state is already a dream of sleeping, consuming mental energy, and within three years, he has gray hair.
He said to Li Mu: "In the three years since Master Zhou took office, the county near Yunzhou Mansion has prospered, and the population has improved greatly compared to the past. These county towns are located in the middle of the country, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so there are corrupt officials who make trouble and harm the people. All in all, Yunzhou Mansion is much better than before. β
Li Mu seemed to smile: "That's why you Wanhualou have a banshee as a prostitute and absorb men's yang energy?" β
Hu Jiuyang said: "Brother Dao, if these monsters absorb yang energy to a certain extent and do not kill people's lives, is it much better than them secretly killing people and taking people's souls?" β
He sighed and said: "Before Master Zhou took office, the monsters in Yunzhou were haunted, there were ghosts crying at night, and the monks and the demon clan were inseparable, and there were countless casualties to each other. Later, Zhou Fuzi took office and treated people and demons equally, and monsters could also work and earn money to support their families, instead of eating people to survive. You only need to file with the government, and you can live in Yunzhou like people. β
It was the first time Li Mu had heard this kind of thing: "How can humans and demons coexist peacefully? The monster is hungry and wants to eat people, in case of ferocity and chaos, how will it end? β
Hu Jiuyang said: "The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. Youkai break the law and sin the same crime as humans! Just dispose of it according to law! β
Li Mu said: "I don't believe it! When I was in the small county town below, I saw that the local county order was looting people's wealth, and they were very greedy, and there were even city gods colluding with demons and devouring human beings, and there were night wandering gods colluding with city gods to ask for benefits and wantonly kill people. I don't see anyone in charge of these things! β
Hu Jiuyang said: "Brother Dao, if you have real evidence, I can take you directly to see Master Zhou, if everything is true, he will definitely give you an explanation!" β
Li Mu sneered: "Give me an explanation?" I'm an idler, what can I ask for? It's almost as good as giving the people an explanation! β
When he said this, his ears moved, and he nodded to Hu Jiuyang: "Someone is here, Brother Hu, there will be a period later!" β
After saying a word, step forward, step by step, the person has disappeared in the same place.
"Shhh
Hu Jiuyang saw Li Mu take a step, the space shook slightly, like ripples in the water, the next moment, the ripples disappeared, Li Mu had disappeared, and suddenly exclaimed, his eyes bulged out: "Shrink the ground into inches!" Shrink the ground into inches! He's a great supernatural being! β
In the cultivation realm, the most common way for monks to travel is generally to soar through the clouds and mist, or to fly with the sword of sword cultivation, but the really powerful body method is not these, but the incarnation of rainbow light or the five elements of the escape technique, the most advanced of which is the space supernatural power, the art of shrinking the earth!
There is that great supernatural power, one step forward, you can go to the heavens, down to the nine shades, eight desolations and six combinations, only in one step, this is the real walking supernatural power.
Although Hu Jiuyang didn't know anything about the way of space, after all, he had heard the relevant legends, and when he saw Li Mu break through the void and disappear, he was shocked in his heart: "Who is this person?" Which old fairy is the game dust? It turned out that he had fought with Ba Junming just now, and if he really wanted to kill Ba Junming, he was afraid that a single thought would destroy Ba Junming's spirit! β
But it was said that Li Mu took a big stride, broke through the void in a flash, came to his own house, and when he stood still, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy: "It's really feasible!" β
When he returned to the world of the Great Yin Dynasty from modern times, because when he looked directly at the true face of time and space, his brain was filled with endless knowledge, and if it weren't for the sound of the bronze bell, most of this knowledge was eliminated for him, I am afraid that he would have been delirious by now and could not afford to be seriously injured.
Although the bell sounded in order to appease Li Mu's brain, it cleared countless knowledge related to time and space, but after all, it was not eliminated, and there was still some knowledge remaining in Li Mu's mind.
But even if it is a little remnant, it is already extraordinary, after being understood by Li Mu, when he looks at the void, it is completely different from the feeling when he looks at the void in the past.
It's like a mouse crossing a river, when everyone is a mouse, they naturally have to swim over, but one day, a mouse suddenly turns into a bat and has an extra pair of wings, so the bat's way of vision and thinking and the angle of seeing things are different from ordinary mice.
With wings on your body, why not take a leap?
That's what the bat thinks!
And now, Li Mu is this bat.
He suddenly had a little understanding of the way of space, and after gathering his eyes, he seemed to be able to find the weak points of space, and through these weak points, he could see at a glance where he wanted to go.
In that case, why not step in?
So naturally, he broke through the weak place of space and came to the place where he wanted to set foot.
At this time, it wasn't until he stabilized his body in the courtyard that he reacted: "Lao Tzu can actually break through the void!" β
Although there is a distance of several miles from Wanhualou to the small courtyard, there is only a few miles away, and even a master of retreat can fly so far in the blink of an eye, even shorter than the time it took Li Mu.
But the way of escape and the way of space, the two are completely different in nature, this is the difference between matches and rockets.
The way of space is the magic power of the avenue, and if it is in harmony with time, it is the way of time and space.
Li Mu suspected that the bronze bell in his mind was the product of the Dao of Time and Space, otherwise he would not have taken Li Mu through time and space so easily, and even crossed the barriers of the two realms.
"When Lao Tzu's cultivation is improved, I have to see the true face of this little clock! But now I still have to practice the family tradition! β
His family inheritance of the Nine Turns Yuan Gong is not trivial, although the Avenue of Time and Space is very remarkable, but Li Mu's foundation is still a family heirloom, and other exercises are all side branches, so he doesn't dare to be too distracted.
"Sleep!"
He learned the way of this space, and his heart was excited, but it was not enough to be happy and couldn't sleep, at this time it was already late at night, he and Ba Junming in Wanhualou made a move, killed someone, and now his spirit is relaxed, and he wants to sleep.
So he went back to the bedroom and fell asleep.
Just when he fell asleep, the light in the city of Yunzhou Mansion flickered, and a number of figures appeared in front of Wanhualou, these people were monks and Taoists, scholars and women, after appearing, they all looked at Hu Jiuyang who was standing in front of Wanhualou.
A middle-aged catcher in red clothes and black boots, separated everyone, held a single knife, and came to Hu Jiuyang, he looked at the broken and still burning body of Ba Junming on the ground, and frowned: "Brother Hu, what the hell is going on?" β
Hu Jiuyang smiled bitterly and said: "Xing Zhutou, this matter is also very simple, it is this Langming Shan Ba Junming came to my Wanhua Building to make trouble, and angered a guest in the building, and the guest smashed Ba Junming's half-day furnace, and the furnace fire ignited Ba Junming's head, so he burned him to death." β
Xing Zhutou said: "Since it was burned to death, why did the body fall apart?" β
Hu Jiuyang said: "That guest has a bad temper and is disgusted with Ba Junming's wanton hurting people, so he picked up the burning Ba Junming and broke it apart. β
Xing Zhutou stared at Hu Jiuyang's eyes and was silent.
Hu Jiuyang smiled bitterly: "Xing Zhutou, what kind of eyes are you?" It's true, how can I lie? β
Xing Zhutou sighed: "In this case, where does the guest come from, and who is his surname, do you know?" β
Hu Jiuyang said: "That senior didn't say three words to me in total, and before I could ask his name, he broke through the space and disappeared, and I have no way of knowing his origin!" β
"Nonsense!"
"Nonsense!"
"Nonsense!"
"Nonsense!"
The monks next to him were furious when they heard this, and they scolded Hu Jiuyang angrily:
"Breaking the space? How much of a miracle is that? How can such a senior master be angry with a minor monk like us? Even if he had murderous intentions, he could kill Ba Junming with a single thought, so why bother? β
"Ba Junming's last words before he died, can they be false? Why didn't he say we killed him, why did he say you killed him? β
"I knew that the monster dog in Wanhualou couldn't change its eating, and sooner or later it would hurt people's lives, and it really came true today!"
"What did Master Zhou say about the co-governance of people and demons, the human race and the demon race are opposites, how can they govern together? Who can make peace with food? Although the old master is upright, he is too naΓ―ve! β
These monks looked at Hu Jiuyang, and they were filled with righteous indignation: "Langming Shan Ba Junming is also a monk in the foundation building period, he died here, how can Langming Mountain give up?" Hu Jiuyang, one person does things and one person is responsible, if you kill Ba Junming, in the future, the master of Langming Mountain will find it, and you will have to continue! β
Hu Jiuyang said angrily: "If I kill him, I will naturally admit it, but I didn't kill him, why should I take it on me?" Fuck, Hu has always acted uprightly, even if he kills him, he has to kill him with dignity! Why should I hide it! β
No matter how much he argued, a group of monks just didn't believe.
Hu Jiuyang became angry, took out a long sword, and showed a fierce light in his eyes: "Who dares to make noise again, Lao Tzu will cut off his head!" β
All the monks knew that he was powerful, and when they saw him angry, they were all taken aback, and their voices suddenly became much quieter.
But someone still shouted: "Hu Laojiu, what kind of hero are you to suppress people with your power?" Even if you kill us, you won't be able to stop the mouths of the monks of the world! β
Xing Zhutou also said: "Brother Hu, since this incident happened in front of Wanhua Tower, and you are a person who has witnessed it, this kind of murder is related to the monk sect, and if you don't get it right, it will cause a big storm." You should go with me to the Yamen and explain it to Lord Fuzun. β
Hu Jiuyang was helpless: "Okay, I'll go see Master Zhou." This group of bullshit monks is not producing, they specialize in spreading rumors and making trouble, which is even more hateful than demons and monsters! β
Xing Zhutou said: "Without them, demons and monsters hurt people more." β
Hu Jiuyang snorted, and followed Xing Zhutou towards the yamen.
A group of monks next to him were indignant: "Master Zhou shouldn't let monsters enter the city!" They have entered the city, and with human registration, we can't just kill them, and in the future, if we want to find a good leather to use as a mattress and release demon blood for alchemy, it's really troublesome! β
"That's it, that's it! How can these people who are intertwined in their hearts be able to enter the nationality openly? They're all human, so what are we? Are we monsters? Ba Junming was killed by Hu Jiu today, and tomorrow it may be you and me who will die! β
Since Zhou Fuzi took office in Yunzhou Mansion, he has reformed maladministration, cultivated people's livelihood, befriended demon cultivators, let demon cultivators enter the city, and issued a demon alien status, so that he could work in Yunzhou Mansion to earn money and support his family.
At the same time, it is strictly forbidden for monks to hunt and kill goblins for no reason, and it is also strictly forbidden for goblins to hurt people for no reason, so the relationship between the human race and the demon race has been greatly eased in recent years, and the number of people outside the city who are eaten by monsters has also been greatly reduced.
It's just that the human race and the demon race have been killing for countless years, and they have long formed a feud, even if Master Zhou repeatedly resolves the contradictions between the two races, he can't eliminate this kind of hatred imprinted in his bones.
This kind of hatred will not be reversed just because of Master Zhou alone, not to mention that it also involves great cultivation benefits.
Without the demon elixir to refine medicine, no demon skins to make clothes, and no monsters to feed on the flesh and blood, some monks would not be able to improve their cultivation, because they were most opposed to Master Zhou's governance philosophy.
Today, Ba Junming died in front of Wanhualou, even if it was not killed by Hu Jiuyang, they would think that Hu Jiuyang was the murderer, and only in this way can they break the concept of the coexistence of Zhou Fuzi and shemales.
As for the life and death of ordinary people after the human race and the demon race start killing again, they will naturally not be taken into account.
Anyway, most of the people in the cultivation are children of the family, and the children of the family have laid the foundation of cultivation since they were young, so it is naturally impossible to die at the hands of ordinary demon clans.
Occasionally, the children of the family are killed by the big demon, and that is inevitable, anyway, there are many children in the family, and it doesn't matter how many die.
Let's say that after Hu Jiuyang and Xing Zhutou arrived at the mansion, Zhou Daoquan, the mansion, personally interrogated, and finally said: "Jiuyang, who killed Naba Junming, wait for me to call his soul!" β
At that moment, he instructed Xing Zhutou: "You go and call all the monks who are stretching their necks outside to watch the excitement, and watch this mansion interrogate this case!" β
Xing Zhutou didn't dare to slack off, and when he came to the yamen, he saw a group of monks floating on the wall of the yamen, craned their necks and looked inward, and scolded at the moment: "A group of dogs! How can you peek at the heavy place here? If you dare to look at it again, I will gouge out your eyes! β
A group of monks sneered: "Monsters hurt people, and the disaster is not small, we just care about the safety of Master Zhou, and we don't mean to peek." β
Xing Zhutou shouted: "Lord Fuzun said, don't you want the truth of this matter, he will detain Ba Junming's soul now, ask in public, and naturally ask clearly!" You are witnesses! β
A group of monks looked at each other a few times, and they all saw each other's faces in amazement.
No one expected that Master Zhou would have the magical power to detain the ghosts.
After a while, Zhou Daoquan walked out of the gate of the mansion, holding a bamboo whip, and glanced at the monks outside: "Come with me!" β
He brought everyone to the Wanhua Tower, at this time Ba Junming's body was almost burned, only one leg was still burning, like a human leg candle, flickering in the night.
This fire is not a mortal fire, but a Sanyang real fire, very domineering, the two of them dare not touch the real fire, afraid that they will be ignited, so they can only squat on one side, waiting for the real fire to completely burn Ba Junming's body, and then it will be extinguished, so they can put away the ashes, which can be regarded as a piece of evidence.
Seeing Zhou Daoquan coming, the two servants hurriedly saluted: "My lord! β
Zhou Daoquan waved his hand, came to the burning human leg, waved his palm slightly, and a cloud of mist appeared in the void, covering the human leg.
Burst!
When the mist touches the real fire on the human leg, it is evaporated on the spot by the real fire, but the real fire is also extinguished.
"Sanyin True Water!"
The onlookers were all surprised: "The old man swiped it casually, and he pulled out the Three Yin True Water from the void and extinguished the Three Yang True Fire, this cultivation is really terrifying!" β
Just now, many monks wanted to extinguish this true fire, but they all failed without exception, and at this time, when they saw Zhou Daoquan make a move, they knew the gap between themselves and Master Zhou.
After Zhou Daoquan extinguished the real fire, he suddenly raised his foot and stepped heavily on the ground: "Ba Junming! Don't show up yet! β
Rumble!
When he stepped on this foot, it seemed that the entire Yunzhou Mansion City shook three times, that is, the City God Temple of Yunzhou Mansion shook endlessly, and several tiles fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Yunzhou Mansion Chenghuang was taken aback and looked around: "What happened?" What did Master Zhou do? β
He didn't dare to delay, and said, "Prepare the car and go see what's going on." β
After a while, the carriage was ready, and Chenghuang got into the carriage: "Go!" β
The carriage turned into a flash of fire and fell in front of the Wanhua Tower in an instant.
Chenghuang lifted the curtain, and saw a whirlwind suddenly appear in front of Zhou Daoquan, and after rotating for a while, it turned into a phantom, which was the appearance of Ba Junming, and opened his mouth to cry: "I died so miserably!" β
Zhou Daoquan shouted: "Ba Junming, who killed you?" β
Ba Junming looked at Hu Jiuyang: "The ninth child of the Hu family knows!" β
Hu Jiuyang said: "Fart! How do I know? β
Ba Junming said: "You and him will attack me together, you are in a gang!" β
Hu Jiuyang was still waiting to be defended, and Zhou Daoquan waved his hand and said: "Ba Junming, you say it from beginning to end, what is going on?" β
Ba Junming's figure couldn't help but twist, and said, "Boss, there is wind!" I'm almost blown away by the wind! β
Zhou Daoquan knows that the soul of the newly deceased is afraid of being blown by the wind, and when the wind moves, it is like ten thousand arrows piercing the heart, and the suffering is unspeakable.
Immediately turned his head to look at Chenghuang: "Brother Chen? β
Chenghuang nodded and said, "I'm provincial!" β
Nai took out a piece of white jade gui, and the jade gui emitted a misty white light, covering Ba Junming's soul and isolating it from the yin wind through the bones.
Only then did Ba Junming tell Zhou Daoquan about the reason why he was killed, and finally said: "Boss, I died in the hands of the monsters of Wanhualou, and I also died in front of Wanhualou, it can be seen that the demonic nature is untamable and cannot be surrendered." Please also ask the boss to order the killing of the demon clan to set the record straight! β
Zhou Daoquan didn't bother to pay attention to this new ghost's nonsense, and glanced at the audience: "Since then, the truth of the matter has been revealed, and everyone has dispersed." β
A monk said, "Boss, since this Ba Junming was not killed by Hu Laojiu, where is this murderer?" β
Zhou Daoquan looked at Hu Jiuyang: "Jiuyang, you draw the person's appearance, so that I can find out his origin and arrest him." β
Hu Jiuyang approached Zhou Daoquan and said in a low voice: "Boss, this is a great supernatural person, if you dare to want him, in case you anger him, I'm afraid that our entire Yunzhou Mansion is not enough to make people slap him." β
Zhou Daoquan: "It's okay! This picture does not write the word wanted, but only invites him to come and talk about it, which will not anger him. β
Only then did Hu Jiuyang draw Li Mu's appearance and hand it over to Zhou Daoquan.
On the second day, as soon as Li Mu walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw a picture on the cross street, and the road was:
In front of Wanhua Building,
Beggars revolt.
Murder in a fit of rage,
Immortal!
There is a portrait of Li Mu painted on it, and it is written next to the portrait that if anyone can see this person, report it to the government immediately, and there will be a heavy reward.
Li Mu's eyes widened: "I'm ...... Wanted? Wait, when will I become an immortal? β
