Chapter 178: First Arrival in the Wood Mansion
These days, Su Mu has been running around for the matter of going to sea almost every day, and Xiao Che and they have not been idle, and spent a lot of spirit coins to find out the mystery of the disappearance of the girl in Dongbo City. The results of the investigation did not surprise them. The disappearance of these girls all points to one place in the end, that is, Mufu, where Mu Qing is located.
Although Xiao Che and the others did not find any direct evidence, according to the analysis of the existing information, this possibility is very large.
He told Niu Blacksmith and He Cuihua these things in order to gain their trust.
"Uncle Niu, you have been investigating Mu Qing for so long, you must know more than me. I want us to work together to kill Mu Qing. At the end, Xiao Che's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"Kill Mu Qing, are you telling the truth?" exclaimed the ox blacksmith.
Xiao Che didn't feel strange at all when he reacted like this. After all, in their cognition, Mu Qing is an absolute big man. It's not something they can shake.
"Mu Qing almost killed Uncle Su Mu, and Xiaoya almost suffered. Such a person cannot be kept. But even if you kill him, you have to have real evidence, otherwise it will still be very troublesome. You should know his background. Xiao Che patiently explained to him.
"Then what do you need me to do?" Niu Blacksmith knew that Xiao Che had something he wanted him to do.
"Strike the grass and scare the snake. Xiao Che said his way.
"You mean I'm bait? Okay, as long as I'm sure he killed the swallow, I can do whatever I want. The blacksmith readily agreed. It can be seen that he hates Mu Qing.
"What does Madam Niu think?" Xiao Che asked He Cuihua.
"I just want to keep the old cow alive. Seeing Xiao Che ask himself, He Cuihua was quite surprised.
"Don't worry, I promise. "Xiao Che is easy not to make a promise.
Hearing that his wife cared so much about him, the blacksmith's eyes moistened a little.
"Then it's decided, I'll come to visit with Uncle Su in a few days. We'll tell you what to do. I'm going to say goodbye today. With that, Xiao Che left the cattle blacksmith.
"Xiaohua, what do you think of this young man?" After Xiao Che left, the ox blacksmith asked his wife He Cuihua.
"Trustworthy. "He Cuihua cut the railway.
"You believe him so?" the blacksmith was a little puzzled.
"The last time Cousin Su Mu came, he said very clearly, my cousin has always been very accurate in seeing people. The betrayal of the members of the Bobo Acrobatic Troupe is just that he is too affectionate to believe it. If He Cuihua's words were heard by Xiao Che, he would definitely be surprised.
Su Mu didn't say that he and He Cuihua were still close relatives.
"That's fine. So saying, the blacksmith went back to the basement of the inner room and continued to strike iron.
Xiao Che didn't go back to Su's house directly, and when he walked to the intersection, he suddenly wanted to go to Muqing's mansion and visit the door once. He wanted to see how Mu Qing would react.
Just do what you say. Soon Xiao Che came to Mufu. Mufu is easy to find, and you will know where Mufu is located as soon as you ask around in Dongbo City.
This is the place where the power of Dongba Castle is second only to the castle lord's mansion.
There is an endless stream of people who come here every day, whether it is for Mu Qing or for Mu Qing to take the initiative to invite.
Although Mu Qing is hypocritical, he feels very approachable, and he will greet these inconsequential little people with a smile, which makes his reputation in Dongbo City not bad.
He even won the reputation of a humble gentleman. But in Xiao Che's opinion, this is a great irony.
Mu Qing does not personally greet the endless stream of guests at the door, and the guards in the house are also extremely friendly to the guests, which is very rare in the wealthy family.
Of course, not everyone will be able to enter the door. For this reason, Mufu still set the number of people Muqing receives every day. If the quota is full for the day, it can only be extended to the next day.
If it was Mu Qing's cronies, it would naturally be easy to see him.
They all have special passes issued by Mu Qing.
When Xiao Che arrived at Mu Mansion, he happened to be the last person of the day.
This made him secretly amused, it was really better to come early than to come by chance.
He didn't expect that the guards in the Mufu Mansion were quite enthusiastic, although there was not much truth in that enthusiasm.
It seems that there really is a kind of master, there is a kind of servant. This is not false at all.
Those guests were not able to see Mu Qing together, but had to line up.
Generally speaking, everyone can communicate with Mu Qing for a short time, unless there is really something very important.
But the most important thing for those things is to rely on Mu Qing's cronies to do it.
In fact, most of the people who have been here for many years have asked for Mu Qing. Mu Qing was happy to help them deal with these troubles. In this way, not only can they receive a lot of spirit coins, but they can also make these people owe favors to Mu Qing.
In this way, when Mu Qing uses them in the future, these people will not refuse.
Xiao Che, like everyone else, waited quietly, and they didn't communicate with each other. This is also the rule of the Mufu, once you find someone talking in private, then you will be immediately asked out of the Mufu. For these people, this is absolutely a no-no.
If someone is invited out of Mu Mansion, Mu Qing will not only not help him solve the trouble, but that person is afraid that he will not be able to get along in this Dongbo City.
Xiao Che observed the behavior of these people, and from the behavior and expressions of these people, Xiao Che could roughly deduce the reason why they came to Mu Qing.
The fact that these people were able to find Mu Qing shows that none of them are really good stubble. If it was a good person, he would not ask Mu Qing to help with his errands. And all of these people have some economic strength.
Otherwise, I can't afford to invite Mu Qing at all. Although Xiao Che didn't know the specific things they were asking for, he could also guess a little bit what the troubles they asked Mu Qing to help solve were. Among them, there are those who set up business opponents, those who have caused grievances, and even those who fished people from the East Pau prison.
Seeing this, Xiao Che was already very clear that Mu Qing was really not a good person.
These people may not know that many of the troubles they are trying to solve are made by Mu Qing.
These people were simply cleared by the wood. The funny thing is that they don't know it.
Xiao Che is not obliged to remind these people of anything, some people are stupid, let him be stupid.
didn't wait too long, and the steward took Xiao Che to see Mu Qing.
"It's you!Hehe, I really didn't expect you to come to my mansion, what can I do to help you?" Mu Qing was also very surprised to see Xiao Che, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.
Mu Qing is not idle these days, he is also investigating the origin of Xiao Che and their group, but unfortunately he has not found out anything, the only thing that can be sure is that these people are not from the Dongyue Kingdom.
As for more, Yi Muqing's ability couldn't detect it at all.
But he didn't pay much attention to it. In Mu Qing's opinion, these people were just passers-by in Dongbo City, and they didn't pose any threat to him at all, but he didn't want to provoke Xiao Che and them. Not to mention anything else, Xiao Che's cultivation is above him, he knows it.
As a master of alchemy, Mu Qing's own cultivation has also reached the Venerable Realm, and it can be said that he has stepped on the threshold of the nobility.
Everywhere, cultivation to the Venerable Realm is a sign of nobility. It's just that the Venerable Realm is just an entry point for nobles.
"Today, I want to ask Master Mu to help find out the cause of the death of a person, Niu Yan, the daughter of the ox blacksmith. I wonder if Master Mu is willing to help me with this?" As soon as Xiao Che's words fell, Mu Qing's face became extremely ugly.
This is a rarity for him. Mu Qing still tried his best to restrain his anger.
Niu Yan is my beloved concubine, she has been in the soil for many years, and I have often missed her over the years. Neither I nor his father want to pursue her anymore, and this sad past is over, so don't mention it again. After calming down, Mu Qing pretended to be sad.
made Xiao Che want to vomit.
"Niu Yan is my distant cousin, so should I call you brother-in-law. Xiao Che said with a slight mockery.
"You, you are Xiaoyanzi's cousin, I don't even know, if so, I am indeed your brother-in-law. Mu Qing's shamelessness made Xiao Che feel unbearable.
"Don't say that, since my cousin-in-law won't help with this, then forget it, just because I haven't been here, but don't worry, I won't let my cousin go so unclear. Before leaving, Xiao Che said to Mu Qing.
He said this on purpose, so that Mu Qing's eyes could be shifted to himself, thus creating an opportunity for the cattle blacksmith.
The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and Xiao Che left Mufu.
It is impossible for the brothers to stay in the Su family all the time, especially Niuniu, who finally came to the human world, so naturally they have to have a good time.
Although there are very few demon beasts in Dongbo City, it is not impossible.
After Niuniu took Xiao Che's Transformation Pill, she turned into a doll. Although he is not very handsome, he is just like an ordinary person.
The benefits of the Transfiguration Pill are now beginning to manifest.
Niu Niu can transform into each other in human form and monster form at any time. She hadn't been able to control it well before, but now she's able to retract and release it freely.
And her transformation into a little human girl will also make people let down their guard against her.
Niuniu likes to play with Zhou Xiaodie, Wen Renjing, and Su Ya. This time on the street, Crocodile and Scorpion are together, and Niuniu is with Su Ya, Zhou Xiaodie, and Wen Renjing.
The four girls walking down the street was a highlight. Naturally, there are a lot of returns. In particular, Su Ya is also a small celebrity in Dongbo City.
Many people in Dongbo have seen Suya's performance. also knows how difficult it is for this girl to be for her father.
But apparently not all of them are kind.
At this time, there were a few thugs who didn't know whether they were alive or dead to tease them.
Zhou Xiaodie naturally doesn't take this garbage seriously.
Even Wen Renjing won't take them seriously.
Su Ya was puffing up, and Niuniu was really laughing.
"A few brothers, you like Niuniu!" I saw that the youngest-looking Niuniu deliberately pretended to be gentle.
However, with a height of only one meter, she is obviously very much in line with the appetite of some ill-minded people.
Seeing that such a petite girl was so tempting, those little gangsters were naturally even more arrogant.
They've been carried away by beauty. Now they don't just use words to tease the four girls, just when they want to do it. I saw Niuniu rush into the arms of a thug with one arrow step.
At a certain moment, when no one noticed, her head turned into a hideous-looking demon beast, the crocodile python and the scorpion cow. This man thought he was dazzled, and he didn't have time to react at all. The next moment, the hand he subconsciously blocked was bitten off by Niu Niu.
It hurt so much that he lay on the ground and rolled around, screaming.
The other people saw that their accomplices were so miserable bitten by a child, and they didn't let them think about it, so they rushed at Niuniu.
At this time, Su Ya just wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Wen Renjing.
Others don't know, Wen Renjing and Zhou Xiaodie know how powerful Niuniu is. Just when Su Ya was puzzled, this group of people surrounded Niuniu, and two people guarded against Zhou Xiaodie's three daughters to come to help.
But they were also surprised to see that Su Ya was stopped by Wen Renjing, and Zhou Xiaodie and Wen Renjing looked indifferent.
Their strangeness didn't last long, and only a moment later, the people around Niu Niu turned blue and fell to the ground.
The two of them panicked, and before they could react, Niuniu rushed to them and smiled at them with her mouth wide open.
Although Niuniu looks very cute, the two of them feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Sure enough, after Niuniu smiled, they also followed in the footsteps of their accomplices.
In this way, the news that a group of unruly thugs were picked up by a child spread in the city of East Bowl.
Don't look at Niuniu's small size, but now she is a real martial artist in the Heaven Realm.
Speaking of which, this is thanks to Xiao Che. The effect of the Transformation Pill is not just as simple as transformation, after the demon beast takes it, it will also be completely transformed into a body, strengthened twice, and in the process of meridian reorganization, the demon beast has experienced a perfect baptism. Let the potential of the monster be further stimulated. In the short term, there will be a skyrocket.
The crocodile python and scorpion cow are also very unique in the demon beast world. Ordinary demon beasts will also have a bloodline inheritance like humans, but crocodile pythons and scorpions do not.
To put it simply, they belong to mutant monsters. Mutant monsters will not have a race. They are all born of the luck of heaven and earth, even if they have parents, but it is only luck that makes them born with the help of their parents' bodies.
The birth of these mutant demon beasts also has their mission, like the crocodile python and scorpion cow have a unique talent in the spirit array.
This can be seen as the compensation given to the demon beasts by this piece of heaven and earth.
As we all know, the life that best fits the way of heaven is human beings. Humans are arguably the most gifted race of all races.
Not only in the martial arts lineage, but also through the inheritance of alchemists, refiners, and spirit array masters. These are things that no other race has.
God has given human beings the strongest ability to grow, but has deprived them of physical fitness and lifespan.
Of all races, the average life expectancy of humans is almost the shortest.
Like a demon beast, generally speaking, it is not a problem to live for a thousand years. However, human beings can only have a lifespan of more than two hundred years when they have cultivated to the Venerable Realm, less than five hundred years.
And only when human beings cultivate to the Supreme Realm can they gain a lifespan of 500 to 1,000 years, and only when they cultivate to the Supreme Realm can they live for thousands of years without dying, and their lifespan is the same as that of demon beasts. The way of heaven is like this, the loss is more than enough to make up for the deficiency, all things are balanced, harmonious and natural.
Therefore, Niuniu's birth is completely a miracle that is unique in heaven and earth.
Therefore, it is also different from ordinary demon beasts.
Don't look at Niuniu's cultivation now, but if you look at the lifespan of the demon beast, the current Niuniu is only equivalent to the infancy of human beings.
Her cultivation had already reached the level of the Heaven Realm, which was very terrifying.
The same goes for crocodiles and scorpions. Being able to cultivate to such a point in just over 200 years is already a very demonic talent. You must know that in the demon beast world, their age is just adulthood.
These little gangsters don't have much strength at all, and they are not Niu Niu's opponents at all.
In addition, the crocodile python scorpion cow is born with poisonous attributes, and Niu Niu poisoned them all before.
The poison attribute is the same as the ice attribute and the thunder attribute, which is a mutation attribute. It's all very powerful.
Seeing that these gangsters were cleaned up by Niu Niu alone, the surrounding spectators were dumbfounded.
Now they look at Niu Niu differently than before. When the gangsters were teasing Niu Niu before, instead of stepping forward to help, these people laughed on the sidelines.
It's good if Niuniu doesn't clean them up, but now that they see Niuniu so powerful, they have long been hiding far away, and they don't dare to get close to Niuniu at all.
The thugs were not left unattended, and soon a few men came to carry them away.
Niuniu also knows how to measure, those poisons are not fatal. It's just that they are temporarily incapacitated. After all, it's not the time to kill people in Sompa.
The management of Dongbo City is quite lax, as long as no one is killed, the city lord's mansion will not interfere, even if it causes injury and disability, no one will take care of it.
However, the premise is that it does not provoke the big families related to the City Lord's Mansion.
For example, Mufu, Gutie and so on.
Mu Qing is still the grandson-in-law of the city lord, and Gu Tie is also a person with a background.
The four girls wandered around the street for a day, bought a lot of things and returned to Su's house.
In fact, they didn't know that the crocodile and the scorpion were not far from them, and with the cultivation of the two of them, they deliberately followed them secretly, even Zhou Xiaodie was difficult to detect.
After all, in addition to being the powerhouses of the four grades of the Supreme Realm, the crocodile and the scorpion are also the great masters of the formation. They casually arranged a concealment formation, and they were able to easily hide from Zhou Xiaodie.
The Great Grandmaster of Formation and the Great Grandmaster of Alchemy both belonged to the fifth or even sixth rank of the Supreme Realm in terms of status.
However, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is still the formation master who is more reliable. With the crocodile and scorpion from today's formation. Their combat power is comparable to the five grades of the Supreme Realm.
You must know that the gap between the fourth rank of the Supreme Realm and the fifth rank of the Supreme Realm is like a chasm, which is not so easy to cross.
And the crocodile and the scorpion, with the cultivation of the formation, can cross it.
Xiao Che came out of the Mu Mansion and returned to the Su family. Su Mu was discussing the next course of action with Zi Wuji.
After Xiao Che came back, he told the two about his experience of meeting the cattle blacksmith and going to Mufu today.
Hearing that Xiao Che dared to enter the Mu Mansion alone, Su Mu was also shocked, and he didn't know what to say. And Zi Wuji was not worried at all, he and Xiao Che had known each other for so long, so he naturally knew that Xiao Che had a magical body, a small wooden mansion, which couldn't trap him at all.
