Chapter 46 The emperor who doesn't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods

"I heard in the capital that many people died at the same time in many parts of the country, and the bodies found were all in such a tragic state. When I came to Xuanzhou City, I thought there was nothing to do here, but I didn't know that I had never escaped. Lu Siqi's sad expression looked at Mu Heng a little distracted.

"Immortal Mu Heng doesn't know, this Lu Gongzi was sent by His Majesty to investigate this case." Huan Min followed Lu Siqi's words and added.

"I see." Mu Heng glanced at Lu Siqi again, and he didn't expect that he was actually sent by the lord of the country, and he was also from the court.

"There have been many similar cases before, and I am struggling to find out why the deceased did not have a trace of blood, and I can't imagine that it was actually a monster." Lu Siqi looked out the door, his face was worried and afraid.

"Does the Immortal Chief know why the monster drained all the blood of the dead?" The middle-aged man in armor held the hilt of his sword and respectfully saluted Lu Siqi, and his whole body was full of evil energy.

"According to our speculation, the monster sucks human blood in order to cultivate and improve its cultivation. It's just that I didn't expect that there were monsters in other places. "Mu Heng can imagine other monsters attacking the human race, and there must be many people killed.

I thought that the appearance of the demon clan was just an accident, but I didn't expect that there were other places where the demon clan appeared, and I thought that in this star country, there were already many places infiltrated by the demon clan.

Mu Heng glanced at Luo Yunjin solemnly, seeing that the other party was worried, he couldn't help but think of the last time she dealt with the Corpse Soul Clan's ancestor Huaixing, the situation she faced this time was far more severe than the last time, and it was definitely not something that the three of them could handle.

Sensing Mu Heng's gaze, the intelligent Luo Yunjin read the concern in his eyes and smiled. This time the situation is different from before, I can understand what my senior brother means, and blindly recklessly acting is not the Great Dao.

"Promotion?" Eun Min didn't know much about cultivation, and he didn't know that human blood could actually help monsters cultivate.

"Not bad. At present, it is necessary to find out the monsters hidden in this Xuanzhou City as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know when someone will die tragically. Mu Heng cautiously said to Lu Siqi and Yan Min.

"Does the immortal chief have a magic way to find the monster?" Lu Siqi looked at Mu Heng and asked urgently.

Mu Heng's eyes on Lu Siqi, big and bright eyes, clean without a trace of impurities, different from ordinary men.

It's handsome! Mu Heng felt that he was already good-looking, and the Lu Siqi in front of him was better than the cream student Meng Xuyang.

Being stared at by Mu Heng, Lu Siqi couldn't help but have a touch of pale powder on his face, inadvertently glanced at Mu Heng, and then turned his head away.

"Ahem." Luo Yunjin saw that his senior brother didn't speak, only stared at Lu Siqi, and couldn't help coughing lightly as a reminder.

Awakened by this cough, Mu Heng pretended to inadvertently hide his embarrassment, thinking to himself what he was staring at a man, we are not interested in men.

"We also have a companion who was searching the city for traces of monsters before my sister and I came here, but we don't know when they will be found." Mu Heng replied, now there is no good way to find the monster on his side.

"How is this good, let this monster do evil, I don't know how many people will die." Eun Min vividly showed the worry of being a parent official, if his belly was not so big and his face did not have so much oil.

"By the way, I have a question I want to consult Lu Gongzi." Mu Heng then asked.

"It's okay to talk about it." Lu Siqi, who had recovered from being stared at by Mu Heng in an awkward mood, saw Mu Heng asking a question, and hurriedly replied, but this time he didn't look at Shang Mu Heng.

"Has anything strange happened in the court recently?" I asked the shopkeeper before, but I didn't get the answer I wanted, thinking that this Lu Siqi was sent by the emperor Lao'er, presumably he should know about the affairs of the court.

"Strange things in the court?" Lu Siqi was puzzled when he heard this, with a thoughtful expression, and Mu Heng, who looked at Mu Heng with his eyebrows wrinkled into Sichuan characters, couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.

Mu Heng realized that it was dangerous for him to have this kind of thought about a man, so he hurriedly forced himself to eradicate this strange feeling from his heart, and secretly reminded that what he liked was a woman, and it was a woman with white skin and beautiful temperament like Ye Qingyin.

"It's not necessarily weird, maybe it's something different." Mu Heng wanted the other party to recall carefully, make bold guesses, and maybe he could get any useful information from it.

If only one demon clan appeared, even if the corpse soul clan he met before was added, Mu Heng would just guess without the slightest basis, feeling that he should have the identity of a "son of the plane" or something.

And now that the demon clan of this star country appears frequently, it must be that the demon clan wants to make trouble in this star country, if there is no plan, they will not believe it if they are killed.

In connection with the strange practices of the current salt administration, Mu Heng felt that the demon clan was afraid that from the temple to the rivers and lakes, the high and low levels were infiltrating.

"For example, the salt policy that is currently in place." Mu Heng reminded again.

"Shiomasa?" Lu Siqi pondered Mu Heng's reminder, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, connecting the recent events, as if he had grasped that little bit of inspiration.

"Does the immortal chief mean that there are also monsters above the court?" After Mu Heng's reminder, Lu Siqi quickly came to his senses, and then quickly reached an agreement with Mu Heng.

"How is this possible?" Huan Min couldn't believe it when he heard Lu Siqi say this.

"It's just a guess, if that's really the case, there should be strange things in the court." Mu Heng believed that if the demon clan wanted to make trouble, it was definitely not just as simple as killing people and improving cultivation.

A large number of demon clans appeared in the territory of the human race, which is a very risky behavior, aren't they afraid of the encirclement and suppression of the Daomen?

It must be fearful, or it would not have been without struggle for hundreds of years. There are risks and opportunities, and if there is no big enough return, why take this risk.

"According to the Immortal Chief, there have been really strange things in the court recently." Lu Siqi thought about it for a long time, but became a little panicked.

"What's the matter?" Mu Heng hurriedly asked.

"A few months ago, His Majesty recruited a national teacher. The salt policy implemented at the moment is from the hands of the national teacher. Lu Siqi replied.

"National teacher? What is the profession of a national teacher? Mu Heng doesn't know these two words very well, no matter which dynasty in his previous life, there is no position of national teacher.

"What is a profession?" Lu Siqi and Eun Min were both puzzled.

"That's what it means." Sure enough, there is still a generation gap in communication with the ancients.

"The national teacher taught His Majesty the art of immortality and refined the Life Extension Pill for His Majesty." Lu Siqi's face was bitter, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

"The art of immortality?" Mu Heng knew that the emperor's dream of immortality was not new in any era. It's just that this emperor is under the Daomen, shouldn't he ask the Daomen for it, what kind of national teacher is he looking for, isn't it because of the wood to ask for fish.

It was Luo Yunjin who answered Mu Heng's doubts: "I'll solve my brother's doubts." Senior brother knows that the foundation of cultivation is the spiritual root, and not to mention the spiritual root of the lord of the country, only to say that as the master of the people, complicated and trivial things arise, it is difficult to concentrate on cultivation, unless you let go of power... ”

That's right. Mu Heng was dialed by Luo Yunjin and understood the key.

The obsession with power is inherently contrary to the state of mind of cultivation, and it is impossible to increase the life expectancy by practicing it, unless you give up power, but how many people can resist the temptation of power.

Thinking about the key to this, Mu Heng vaguely glanced at the Taoist who was sitting at the end, and looked at the appearance of a fairy wind Dao bone, afraid that he was the same as the national teacher.

Feeling Mu Heng's gaze, the old Taoist priest hurriedly squeezed out a smile, looked at Mu Heng and said, "I and the Taoist priest of Youfang are not as supreme as the immortal chief, and they can only refine some simple pills to help people prolong their lives. ”

"Oh?" Mu Heng muttered in his heart that he had guessed correctly. The upward and downward effects, the emperor Lao'er does this, and the lowly people must follow the trend, whether it is out of the idea of immortality or catering to the needs of the officials.

Lu Siqi glanced at the Taoist priest with disdain, and snorted softly, only Mu Heng and Luo Yunjin could hear it.

"In other words, what does this national teacher have to do with Yanzheng?" Regardless of Eun Min's matter, Mu Heng didn't understand what this alchemy and longevity had to do with Yan Zheng.

This emperor wants to live forever, doesn't he just want to be an emperor for a few more years, if the country is gone, he will still be a fart emperor. If Yan Zheng continues like this, this star country will not last for a few years.

"Refining the elixir requires a large amount of heavenly and earthly treasures, and the national teacher suggests that His Majesty control the salt administration and use the wealth he has collected to buy medicinal materials." Lu Siqi briefly summarized the origin of Yanzheng.

"This kind of salt politics has afflicted the people of my star country." Lu Siqi's eyebrows gathered with great sorrow.

"Huh." And so it was. Mu Heng's previous speculation about this kind of salt policy was correct, but he didn't expect that the person who collected money was actually the emperor Lao'er himself, and he really thought that the country was too comfortable.

"Isn't there anyone in the court who prevents the national teacher from doing this?" Mu Heng believes that there are still many capable people and clear streams in the court, and there should be many people who oppose such a policy of bringing disaster to the country and the people.

"Why hasn't there been, it's just that Your Majesty attaches too much importance to the refining of the Longevity Pill, and has killed a lot of officials, and now no one dares to object." Lu Siqi showed hatred on his face, as well as dissatisfaction with the emperor's old man.

"The Xuan room is seeking talents to visit the ministers, and Jia Shengcai is even more incoherent. Pity the front seat in the middle of the night, and don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods. Mu Heng thought of Li Shangyin's satirical poems in his previous life, how similar to the current situation.

When Lu Siqi heard Mu Heng's emotion, he couldn't help but glance at him more, but he didn't expect that the people of Daomen actually had such a poetic talent.

But Eun Min showed embarrassment, Mu Heng scolded the emperor Lao'er, but he was similar to Shangfeng, and he was also scolded, and he was scolded so beautifully.

The old Taoist priest was also scolded by Mu Heng and didn't dare to say much, so he could only roll his little eyes to relieve himself.

Luo Yunjin was used to Mu Heng's one or two wonderful poems popping up from time to time, but such an apt satirical poem at this moment still made her eyes light up, and her adoring little eyes seemed to be the only one left here.
