Chapter 45: The City Lord's Mansion Says Monsters
Meng Xuyang didn't say much when he heard this, but silently watched Mu Heng digging a pit with a spade on the left and a spade on the right. In his consciousness, mortals only need protection, not much stronger than ants on the ground, and birth, old age, sickness and death are the norm.
However, he didn't bother Mu Heng, although he didn't agree, he also respected.
Luo Yunjin looked at Mu Heng, who was busy with these dead people in front of him, and felt very peaceful in his heart, the senior brother had always been the kind senior brother.
Knowing that he would not let himself meddle in these matters, he didn't say much to help.
It's been almost a month since I came to this world, and I've already buried two groups of people. Could it be that the mortals of the cultivation world are really similar to ants?
The law of the jungle seems to be even more obvious in this environment.
Mu Heng worked tirelessly to bury all the dead, and simply made an anonymous tombstone for them.
Meng Xuyang and Luo Yunjin stood next to them like this, watching Mu Heng for a whole night, and the original plan to rest in the inn was in vain.
"Anyway, yesterday I asked the innkeeper if there was anything strange happening recently, I think this demon clan didn't harm many people before yesterday, otherwise so many people died, it would be difficult to hide." While Mu Heng was working, he was also analyzing the general information of the demon clan.
"Presumably, there weren't so many people killed before, but last night I broke through and killed so many people at once." Meng Xuyang replied after a little thought.
"We're really unlucky to happen to this kind of thing." Mu Heng is also helpless about this coincidence, is he also like Conan in the anime, where he goes, where he will die?
"Senior Brother Meng, how should we trace the traces of the demon clan now?" Luo Yunjin couldn't wait to find the demon clan immediately, and he slashed this fang.
"The demon clan has reined in its breath, and it is difficult to find its traces like this." Meng Xuyang didn't have a good way to pursue the demon clan, and said: "If it's still in Xuanzhou City, we can only check it slowly." ”
Mu Heng heard what Meng Xuyang meant, this plan is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and the possibility of being able to catch a monster is not very large.
"Anyway, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first, and let the City Lord post a notice to warn the people to go out and walk around less at night to reduce the opportunities for monsters." Mu Heng didn't know much about the demon clan, and he didn't have a good way. What can be done now is to ensure the safety of the people first.
"Senior brother is reasonable, then let's go to the City Lord's Mansion." Luo Yunjin nodded lightly and agreed.
"Then I won't be with you, I'll go around and see if I can find some clues." Meng Xuyang was more concerned about the traces of the monsters, so he didn't plan to join Mu Heng and them.
"It's okay, Brother Meng pay attention to safety. If there is any discovery, let's sum it up first, and don't act in a hurry. Mu Heng didn't know what the specific cultivation of that monster was, so he could only remind Meng Xuyang not to be impulsive first.
"So are you." Meng Xuyang said hello and left with the fairy sword.
"Senior sister, let's go too." Mu Heng turned around and said to Luo Yunjin behind him.
Mu Heng and Luo Yunjin did not fly on the fairy sword, but walked side by side on the streets that were not bustling.
Although the morning sun was not very strong, it also made Mu Heng feel a little hot and irritable summer. Maybe it's because he's in a bad mood now, Mu Heng feels depressed when he looks at any scenery.
The location of the City Lord's Mansion is easy to find, it is in the middle of this square Xuanzhou City, and its residence is also the tallest building in the city, which can be seen with your eyes open.
"Senior brother, there are so many homeless people on the street?" Luo Yunjin looked at both sides of the street, and there was a beggar every three or five steps, and asked curiously.
"I don't know if it's because of the salt administration. If it's because of the salt administration, the court of this star country, I'm afraid something has happened. Mu Heng also realized that this situation was not normal, and he was afraid that something was wrong with the country.
"I'm afraid that the lord of this star country is a mediocre lord, so many people can't eat enough, and he must be inseparable from him." Luo Yunjin said angrily.
"Hmm. When we get to the national capital, we will go to see this emperor Lao'er, and it is best to use your identity as Yuqing Xingzhai to suppress him. If this continues, the country will not be a country, and it is not far from destroying the country. Mu Heng suggested that Luo Yunjin's identity is still very useful.
"Well, listen to Senior Brother." Luo Yunjin didn't know how to do it, but with Mu Heng here, he didn't worry.
"Senior sister, we're here." The majestic gate in front of you, with two stone lions sitting in front of you, looks mighty. Mu Heng looked at the three words "City Lord's Mansion", and a trace of contempt flashed in his heart.
If the people under his rule are so miserable, this city lord must not be a good thing.
"Who are you, get out of here, the City Lord's Mansion is a place where you have been waiting for a long time." When the soldiers at the door saw Mu Heng and the others, they quickly came to them, drew their sabers, and drove people away fiercely.
"Go and tell your city lord, and say that Yuqing Xingzhai is here." Luo Yunjin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
The soldier saw such a beauty behind Mu Heng, his voice was tactful and melodious, and he lost his mind for a while, but he came to his senses under Mu Heng's reminder, put on a smiling face, nodded and said, "Yuqing Xingzhai?" It turned out to be the immortal chief, please wait. ”
Seeing that the soldier didn't forget to peek at Luo Yunjin before leaving, Mu Heng said: "Senior sister, it seems that you will have to change your body when you walk in the mortal world in the future, otherwise all the men in this world will be fascinated by your junior sister." ”
"Senior brother, you make fun of others." Luo Yunjin's face turned red, and he glared at Mu Heng, but his heart was also sweet, senior brother was praising himself for being good-looking in disguise.
"Haha, it's not a joke, but I want to save some trouble." Mu Heng and Luo Yunjin laughed, and they also slightly improved their mood that had been depressed for a long time.
"Where is the Yuqing Xingzhai Immortal?" After a short time, the soldiers, who had just returned to report to the police, came out of the door with a large group of people.
Looking at the fat mound with a big belly and two beards shining with oil, Mu Heng expected that this was the city lord, but with this appearance, it was difficult to treat him as a good person.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Mu Heng took Luo Yunjin and stood like this and waited for him to greet him.
The fat dun glanced left and right, locked on Mu Heng and the others, pulled away from the small steps, and walked over quickly. The smile and anxious expression on his face were clearly expressed, making Mu Heng feel that he was very old fritters.
The mixed officialdom is really all human spirits, regardless of the size of their skills, they are all outstanding in terms of human feelings.
"In Xia Huanmin, he is the parent official of Xuanzhou City, and he has seen two immortal elders." The city lord who called himself Eun Min was very respectful and saluted the two.
"I've seen two immortal elders." The five people who followed behind Eun Min also saluted.
Before Mu Heng caught Eun Min saluting, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes when he saw him, guessing that this Eun Min was afraid that he also knew about the situation of Yuqing Xingzhai, and had a guess about the origin of his origin from Yuqing Xingzhai.
Then he looked at the people behind him.
On the left hand side behind Eun Min is a handsome son, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his figure is not as majestic as a normal man, but he is full of heroism.
The one on the right hand of Eun Min is also a son, but the body shape is somewhat similar to Eun Min, and it is estimated that he is his junior.
In the third row, from left to right, stood a middle-aged general in armor, a literati in a gray robe, and an old man with a dusty hand.
Mu Heng glanced at the handsome son again, and couldn't guess his relationship with Eun Min.
As if sensing Mu Heng's attention, the boy raised his eyes and glanced back at Mu Heng, and a little shame flashed on his face.
"You don't have to be polite." Although Mu Heng knew that he was not a disciple of Yuqing Xingzhai, he had already regarded himself as a person of Yuqing Xingzhai, and at this time, he also needed such an identity to do things, so he was not hypocritical.
Luo Yunjin is just a bystander, Mu Heng treats people and things, and he likes to see his subconscious mind who puts himself under his own sect.
-------------------------------------
"Two immortal elders, please take a seat, please take a seat." Eun Min entertained Mu Heng and the others very warmly, and inadvertently regarded Mu Heng as the center.
"Come on, serve tea, serve good tea." arranged for everyone to sit down, and commanded the family outside the door.
Then Huan Min introduced the others to Mu Heng and the others. The handsome son is a noble man from the national capital, and the Taoist chief with the dust whisk in his hand is a master invited by Eun Min, and the remaining three people, except for the son of Eun Min who was guessed by Mu Heng, are the civil and military officials of Xuanzhou City.
Mu Heng also briefly introduced the names of the two of them, called Mu Heng Dao and Yunjin Dao.
"The two immortal elders came to my Xuanzhou City, making the humble house shine." Eun Min first complimented, then touched the somewhat funny mustache on the side of his mouth, with confusion on his face, and asked, "I just don't know, what happened to the two immortal elders?" ”
Although Eun Min is not a member of the Daomen, he also knows that such immortals come and go, if there is nothing to do, where is he willing to come to his small place.
Mu Heng didn't go around the bend, and said bluntly: "There are monsters in Xuanzhou City. ”
"Youkai?" Mu Heng's words were like bombs thrown into the water, and everyone present couldn't help but raise their voices.
The life of a mortal is only fifty or sixty years old, and the youkai that have not been seen for hundreds of years are now only legends and book records for them. Listening to Mu Heng say about monsters, if he didn't know that the other two were cultivators, he would definitely be laughing at them.
"Yes, a demon clan appeared in Xuanzhou City." Mu Heng said affirmatively.
The handsome boy named Lu Siqi, who was sitting opposite Luo Yunjin, stood up and asked with a solemn face, "I don't know how the immortal chief found out that it was a monster?" ”
"Yesterday, my companion and I passed by Xuanzhou City, and we wanted to spend the night, but we accidentally sensed the existence of demonic energy. After that, we followed the demonic qi and found dozens of dead bodies mutilated by the monsters in the south of the city. Mu Heng briefly introduced the process of discovering the monster last night.
"Are those dead bodies pale and not leaving a drop of blood in their bodies?" Lu Siqi's face sank when he heard this, and he unconsciously took a step closer to Mu Heng and asked eagerly.
"Huh? How do you know? Mu Heng was surprised that the other party knew about the situation of those corpses.
"That's what I'm here for." Lu Siqi's straight body seemed to tremble a little, and his clenched fists showed the incomparable anger in his heart.
"Could it be that Lu Gongzi knows the clues?" Mu Heng asked rhetorically.
