Chapter 99: Traces of the Dog Officer and the Glutton
The place of the tent. Mo Qianhe soon discovered the strangeness of Su Mu. Fortunately, Tan Rusu explained it to him.
The lieutenant also came over after a while, and when he greeted Su Mu, Su Mu didn't answer him. This came as a surprise to him.
The top of this year's star list is the most down-to-earth list he has ever seen. Along the way, Su Mu talked to him many times.
He didn't expect that a proud son of heaven in a holy land like Su Mu would actually be interested in some things between them.
He was very happy and very proud to be able to talk to such a person about his glory in the army.
After all, he is also the man who has been called a hero at the top of the list. Even, Su Mu saw the old wounds that had accumulated on his body for a long time, and actually gave him a bottle of Holy Land Pill.
After a few days of taking it, he felt like he was about to return to his peak condition. That kind of elixir can't be bought with all his merits so far, so he is also very grateful to Su Mu.
In the past, he greeted Su Mu, and Su Mu would reply to him, but today it was strange. Tan Rusu saw the captain coming over and said, "My senior brother is meditating and cultivating, I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to your story today." "The reason why Su Mu went to listen to other people's stories.
First, after all, the other party is the real leader of the team, and it is naturally good to have a good relationship. If something happens suddenly, you can still talk and ask the other party to be accommodating.
When the other party heard Tan Rusu say that he was practicing, he didn't think much about it, and said, "Okay, then I won't disturb you immortals." ”............ In the middle of a secluded mountain trail.
The two men were telling Su Mu the reason. It turned out that they were from Shilin County on the border. In fact, to be precise, they are still some distance away from the border, if the army of the Snow Country has rushed to Shilin County, it means that the border line of the Great Zhou has been torn open.
The older man's name is Shi Gui, and the younger man's name is Shi Mao. Although they share the same surname, the two of them are not related to each other, and they are both ordinary masons in the city.
Shi Gui once again bowed to the mountain god grandfather in his eyes, and said: "Almost half a month ago, our formation in Shilin County suddenly opened, and the officials said that they had caught the spies of the Snow Country, and they needed to use the power of the large array to trap the other party. "In the Great Zhou, from the county-level city upwards, there are formations arranged among them.
A county town like Shilin County, which is very close to the border, can almost be compared to the formation of the capital city level in the Central Plains.
Although the people don't know how to cultivate, they naturally know about the great array that protects them.
"What spy?" Su Mu felt quite puzzled and said, "You need to use the formation of a county to deal with it, what does this have to do with your escape?" ”
"That's right, Grandpa Mountain God," Shi Mao's eyes were already full of anticipation, he hoped that Grandpa Mountain God would be able to save the people of their county.
Although he escaped, there were still their relatives and friends in the county.
"We don't know what the spies they are dealing with, but since ten days ago, the county lord has forced the people in our city to carry materials to maintain the large array, and they have not met their eyes for a few days and nights,"
"And the things that are carried are only able to be moved by immortals, we mortals can do it, many people died in the city in a few days, but those dog officials still don't care, let us continue to move things."
"We knew that there would definitely be no way to survive if we continued, so we tried our best to escape, Grandpa Mountain God, can you save our fathers and villagers in the county." To maintain the Great Array, the most important thing is the spirit stone.
Mortals have no cultivation in their bodies, and spirit stones can be as light as a wisp of air and a wisp of wind in the hands of monks. For mortals, even if it is a low-grade spirit stone, it may reach hundreds of catties, which will have something to do with everyone's physique.
"How can such a thing happen?" Su Mu sighed.
"yes, they didn't even spare my wife, I... My wife is... It was at the hands of those dog officials," Shi Gui burst into tears.
Shi Mao sighed. He was alone, his parents died early, and he had not yet married.
"There are monks and armies in the city, why do you want to carry supplies?" Although Su Mu felt sorry for the two of them, he was also puzzled, and asked solemnly: "In addition, if the war breaks out in the north, there should be more troops stationed in Shilin County." ”
"There was a unit a month ago, but it went north in a few days," Shi Gui said: "Anyway, the county commander said that the monks have been transferred to deal with the spies in the Snow Country, and there is no way to transfer the spare ones, so we can only carry them." Su Mu raised his eyebrows.
In wartime, it is not uncommon to ask mortals to help transport supplies. But the things they carried were generally things that were not difficult, so how could they be allowed to carry spirit stones or something like that?
"Lang Lang Qiankun, if you do such an evil thing, the god of this mountain will definitely seek justice for you," this is not gossip, Su Mu is serious.
As far as the two said, at this moment, tens of thousands of people in Shilin County are being forced to be squeezed and are in danger of losing their lives at any time.
For mortals, the aura escaping from the spirit stones will also quietly enter their bodies.
But mortals can't perceive the meridians, let alone the aura. Although the aura is harmless, it is pouring in too much, and if it can no longer run smoothly in the body, it will become clogged somewhere in the body, such as blocking the blood vessels, and it will be life-threatening.
How could Su Mu not go. But before he goes, Su Mu still has a question.
"The god of the mountain heard you say that some wild beast has eaten something in your house, what happened?" Shi Gui and Shi Mao were both slightly stunned.
I thought to myself, didn't Grandpa Mountain God say that he was sleeping just now? How do you know all this? Of course. They didn't ask, and they answered that the mountain gods were immortals, and even if they were sleeping, they couldn't be like them.
"This..."Shi Gui didn't know what to say, and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, didn't you hear that, it's what we said earlier." "On the way from Tokai to Kyoto.
Su Mu also saw many pigs that had been bitten to death and some other things. And what caused such a consequence was the gluttony he brought out from the edge of the ruins.
I don't know where the beast has gone. When he heard the two of them say, Su Mu thought of gluttony, but he didn't dare to draw conclusions about it.
So he asked, "Have your cattle been eaten?" ”
"Grandpa Mountain God, you are really a god," Shi Mao exclaimed: "I worked hard to feed a pig, I thought that it would be slaughtered during the New Year, but I didn't expect it to be gone the next morning, there were blood stains on the ground, but the people in official uniforms didn't help to investigate, so they just let us work." That's one of the reasons why he chose to take the risk of escaping.
After all, there is nothing left in the city, and the official uniform is not tracked down. How could they be willing to leave their homeland unless they had to.
"Gluttony, this beast, actually came here to make trouble," Su Mu muttered to himself, and also realized that he had to catch Gluttony back as soon as possible, otherwise this guy would become more and more crazy the more he ate, and now it is just for some places, if he eats people, his own sin will be even more serious.
"Grandpa Mountain God, what did you say?" Shi Gui and Shi Mao, who were only mortals, did not hear clearly. Su Mu said: "It's nothing, you wait for me for a while again, and I'll go to Shilin County with you." "Hear that.
Shi Gui and Shi Mao couldn't believe it, and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, is it really?" ”
"Surely, have you ever seen God lie?" The two immediately knelt down to Su Mu. It's just that after kowtowing, they are also a little scared, and they often hear that there are many mountain spirits and ghosts in this place.
The reason why they took this road was because they were afraid that they would run into an official errand on the official road, so they would take risks. Now the mountain god wants them to stand here and wait, who knows how long they will have to wait?
Su Mu saw a wisp of them. Manipulating the branches to draw a circle on the ground, he said, "Before I come back, you two don't leave the past, no mountain spirit can hurt you." ”............ Su Mu withdrew his soul and slowly opened his eyes.
Tan Rusu and Mo Qianhe sat on his left and right.
"What did you do?" Tan Rusu was the first to ask. Su Mu naturally didn't have to hide it from them, and said: "I found the traces of gluttony, this beast is still causing trouble to the country and the people, and I don't know what strength it has grown up to now." "The gluttonous cultivation method is fast and simple.
Just eat it. Although Su Mu told him at the beginning, he didn't seem to eat people, let alone make any big noise, and Su Mu was still quite worried.
"Where?" Mo Qianyu asked. Su Mu told the two of them everything that Shi Gui and Shi Mao said.
"There is such a thing, it seems that there is quite a strange thing in Linguang County, and I have to go," Mo Qianhe is a man of action, and he got up and went to find the captain of the team.
Su Mu and Tan Rusu naturally followed.
