Next, Qi Lin sat and drank tea while listening to Yun Muzhi's narration, which could be regarded as updating the information of the Yuan Qi Realm.

After all, Li Haoran's understanding of the Yuan Qi Realm was all old information ten years ago.

And there are a lot of new things that have happened in the Yuan Qi Realm in the past ten years, such as the invasion of the Yuan Qi Realm by the Three-Eyed Ancient Demon, and the fact that the Supreme Elder has stepped into the Ninth Realm, all of which have just happened in the last few years, and these new events must be well understood in detail.

After learning many details of these events from Yun Muzhi, Qi Lin, Irena, and Catherine stayed in the Taoist temple, ready to wait for the forgiveness mission in Yun Muzhi's mouth to arrive.

And this wait, that is, most of the month has passed.

……

……

"Huh?"

At dawn.

Yun Muzhi, who was sitting on the roof of the Taoist temple, preparing to spit out the cultivation when the purple qi came to the east, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the east.

I saw the red sun rise, piercing the black curtain of the sky.

This sunrise brought warm sunlight to the living beings of the Yuan Qi Realm, and also brought the vast purple qi to the cultivators of this realm.

But for Yun Muzhi, today is a little different.

Because today with the purple qi coming east, there is also a huge white paper crane!

I saw the paper crane flapping its white paper wings, from far to near, and in the blink of an eye, it fell outside the Tianyuan view on the top of the stone turtle mountain, setting off a puff of smoke and dust.

The crane became even bigger when it got closer, and it was about the same size as an elephant.

"What the hell?"

Irena pushed open the door of the Taoist temple, walked out of it, and looked at the huge paper crane that landed not far away, and immediately became curious.

"It's the paper crane from the sect!"

Yun Muzhi stood on the roof and said with a little excitement: "The sect must have sent me a letter of pardon at such a time!" ”

"Then open it and take a look."

At this time, Qi Lin also walked out of the house of the Taoist temple.

As soon as she finished speaking, Catherine also walked out and stood beside Qi Lin.

Yun Muzhi immediately jumped down from the roof, landed lightly, walked to the outside of the Taoist temple, twisted his right hand, and gently touched the huge paper crane in front of him, and white spiritual light burst out from his fingertips, blending into the paper crane.

"Hum—"

In the blink of an eye, the paper crane quickly spread out and shrunk, from a huge paper crane with a similar body shape, to a normal-sized letter, floating into Yun Muzhi's hand.

He looked down, and at the same time that he saw the handwriting on the letter, a majestic man's voice came out of it.

"I am the Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, Jiang Gongyuan.

Two months ago, Chen Hui, the master of the Qingshui Mountain Range, suddenly extinguished the soul lamp that he left in the Dao Sect.

The Daoist Sect immediately sent two outer disciples of the Five Realms to the Taoist temple in the Qingshui Mountain Range, but the result was that no body was found in the Taoist temple.

The two disciples immediately searched the mountain, and finally sent back the information that they had gone to Qingshui Village at the foot of the mountain to rest and recuperate, and were welcomed by the villagers.

And in the middle of the night, their soul lamps were extinguished, and the time of death was almost at the same time.

So, a few days ago, we sent three more outstanding inner disciples to Qingshui Village in a team.

They are,

body repair Zhang Shi;

Shu Xiu Li Chengwen;

physician Shangguan Xue;

All three of them are cultivators of the Seventh Realm.

Among them, Zhang Shi is the captain of the investigation.

Yun Muzhi, if nothing else, when this paper crane letter arrives in your hands, the three of them are also close to the Qingshui Mountain boundary.

Right now!

Yun Muzhi, the master of the Shigui Mountain Division, as the elder of the Law Enforcement Palace, orders you to close the Taoist Temple immediately, go to Qingshui Village in the Qingshui Mountain Range, join Zhang Shi and the others, join the investigation team, and jointly investigate and solve the Qingshui Mountain incident, there must be no mistake!

When this is over, you will be pardoned and return to the inner door! ”

"Hmmm......"

Yun Muzhi held the letter, his brows furrowed.

"What do you think will happen?"

Qi Lin walked to Yun Muzhi's side, looked at the letter in his hand and said.

"Maybe it's a big demon."

Yun Muzhi thought for a moment and said, "As far as I know, Chen Hui, the master of the Qingshui Mountain Range, is an elderly monk at the peak of the Seven Realms, and the statement in the letter is that Chen Hui's soul lamp was extinguished two months ago, that is, he died.

Then, the Dao Sect sent two outer disciples of the Five Realms to investigate...... In fact, it is to collect the corpse.

On the Taoist side, at first, he probably thought that Chen Hui was dying, so he sent two outer disciples to collect the corpse, after all, Chen Hui was indeed old, and his life was about to end.

But as it turns out, it's not that simple.

The sudden and violent death of these two outer disciples is enough to show that Chen Hui's death is strange, and it is very likely that he was killed.

If you want me to say, it is estimated that there is a big demon from the Qingshui Mountain Range from the Seven Realms or even the Eighth Realm, and he has eaten Chen Hui and the two outer disciples who came to investigate, so this pardon task is most likely a task to slay demons and eliminate demons. ”

"I can help you."

Qi Lin looked at Yun Muzhi and hesitated: "But, the letter said that your Tianyuan Dao Sect also sent you three teammates?" So when we meet, what do we say about our identities? You're making up a fake identity for us? ”

"No, I don't."

Yun Muzhi shook his head and said: "The matter that you are a visitor from outside the territory, just explain it truthfully, you don't need to hide it, and you can't hide it, otherwise after returning to the sect, it will be even more difficult to explain that you want to enter Taixuan Mountain and go home through the way." ”

"That's exactly what happened."

Qi Lin nodded slightly, and then asked, "Speaking of which, do you know these three teammates of yours?" ”

"Knowing is knowing, but not acquainting."

Yun Muzhi thought for a moment and said: "These three people are all my senior brothers and sisters, and as far as I know, they don't seem to be from the Daozi faction, at least in my impression, their relationship with the Daozi is also very ordinary. ”

"Okay, that's it, without further ado, let's go!"

Qi Lin turned around and walked to the outside of the low walls of the temple, beckoning to Irena and Catherine.

"I'm finally able to get down to business."

Irena stretched and walked over with Catherine.

“……”

Yun Muzhi first walked in and closed the door of the Taoist temple, then exited and closed the door of the wall.

This small sub-temple on Shigui Mountain is dilapidated, poor and white, and there is nothing to pack.

Yun Muzhi left this time, just carrying a pair of swords, a wolf brush hanging from his left and right waists, and a green gourd.

"After being exiled for more than six years, I was finally able to leave ......"

Yun Muzhi sighed softly, then turned around and walked towards the three of them.

I saw that as he walked, he twisted it with his left hand, took a few drops of water out of thin air and condensed into a water mass, and then plucked out a black hair on the top of his head with his right hand and threw it into the water.

In the blink of an eye, the black hair dissipated, and the water mass turned black, like ink.

Then, he took off the wolf brush on his waist and dipped it in floating ink, which instantly dried up.

The pen and ink are ready, and only the drawing paper is needed.

However, the paper in the temple was exhausted a few days ago.

"Forget it, heaven and earth can also be my picture scroll."

Yun Muzhi's right foot stepped on the soil, then squatted down and painted directly on the land.

Qi Lin looked curiously.

I saw Yun Muzhi's expression indifferent, skillful brushwork, and within two clicks, a lifelike ink green cow jumped on the paper.

Oh no, it's on the ground.

"Up!"

Yun Muzhi hung the brush back on his waist, and then twisted it with one hand, and pulled the ink green cow painted on the surface of the soil directly out of the soil and turned into a blue buffalo like a living thing.

"Moo-"

The green cow flicked its tail, and then under Qi Lin's curious gaze, it slowly split into four, like copying and pasting, and directly turned into four identical green cows.

"Interesting, this is a Taoist technique based on 'Qi'?"

Seeing this, Irena's eyes lit up.

Qi Lin looked at it and was a little novel.

This is similar to the magic brush Ma Liang, what is the painting.

"A little Taoist technique, not enough to worry about, everyone, let's go."

Yun Muzhi stood next to one of the green cows, smiled at Qi Lin and the three of them, and then turned over to the cow.

"Hey, that's interesting."

Irena happily rode a cow.

Seeing this, Qi Lin and Catherine each mounted a cow.

"Let's go!"

Yun Muzhi gently patted the head of the green cow under the seat, and then the green cow under the seat of the four people smoked under their feet, and the clouds flew into the sky like a mist, and floated into the sky in the blink of an eye.

In a few breaths, the four green oxen led the four of them across a distance of hundreds of zhang.

Qi Lin, Irena, Catherine, and Yun Muzhi rode the green ox like this, swept towards the sky at an astonishing speed, and continued to march towards the location of the Qingshui Mountain Range.

……

……

Two days later,

Clear Water Mountains.

A cold snap swept through the mountains, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the rain and fog were undulating.

Demons and monsters like to travel in this weather, so for ordinary people, this is obviously not a good time to go out.

But at this time, there was a group of four people, riding a green ox, slowly coming in the night rain, and everywhere they passed along the way, the rain and fog all retreated a few feet, as if they did not dare to approach.

They were the four people who rushed for two days overnight and came all the way from Shigui Mountain to Qingshui Mountain, Qi Lin, Irena, Catherine, and Yun Muzhi.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Yun Muzhi's brows furrowed, and he looked to the left in surprise.

But there was a drizzle and thick fog, and it was not clear at all.

"Whew-"

Seeing this, Yun Muzhi immediately blew lightly, at first there was no movement, but in an instant, it turned into a strong wind, which forcibly blew away the mist in front of him, revealing a dark forest.

Deep in the woods is one of the thickest banyan trees, with a few wisteria entwined around its trunk.

This seems to be a kind of plant-to-plant parasitism.

Qi Lin found that the big banyan tree had a tree hole, which was mostly covered by wisteria, and a Taoist figure could be faintly seen inside the tree hole.

Not a living person.

"What's that?"

Irena looked at this scene, inexplicably feeling very uncomfortable, and subconsciously raised her hand and touched her arms, "My goosebumps are up, I feel that there is a disgusting necromantic aura there, normal corpses will not exude such a strong necromantic aura." ”

"Indeed."

Yun Muzhi nodded lightly and said, "That purple vine is called 'Purple Blood Resentment Vine', and it will only grow in places where Yin Qi is extremely resentful...... Well, I don't know where Shimizu Village is in the mountains, so I'll go find it and ask for directions. ”

After that, Yun Muzhi turned over and got off the cow, and then as if shrinking into inches, he crossed a distance of dozens of zhang and came to the big banyan tree in a few steps.

He raised his right hand and pointed his sword to cut through the wisteria that covered the hollow of the tree.

A hideous and emaciated corpse immediately appeared in the eyes of Qi Lin and the others.

The hands and feet of the dried corpse were twisted and folded, apparently forced into the not-so-spacious hollow of the tree.

"Huh?"

Qi Lin glanced at it from a distance, and then found that the male corpse was actually a eunuch with no roots.

"Hey, your mother told you to go home for dinner, wake up."

Yun Muzhi twisted with one hand, pinched a spiritualist technique, and his left hand kept shaking in front of the dry corpse, bursts of faint blue light rippling from his fingertips.

In an instant, the wind rose.

Under the cover of night, the branches and leaves of the big banyan tree are constantly shaking, making a "rustling" sound.

"Huh~"

Irena shuddered.

It seems to be a little cold.

"Home...... Home ......"

The lips of the dry corpse in the tree cave were closed, but a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the body.

"Yes, home."

Yun Muzhi smiled and saluted: "This brother, I'm tired of asking for directions, how to get to Qingshui Village near here?" I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find it. ”

As soon as the words fell, the dry corpse seemed to really understand, and the index finger of his right hand was lightly hooked.

Yun Muzhi immediately looked over and nodded slightly, "Oh, south, I understand, thank you very much." ”

"By the way, brother, what is your situation?"

After getting the answer, Yun Muzhi didn't rush to leave, but looked at the corpse of the man who was brutally stuffed into the tree hole, and asked suspiciously, "How did you end up here?" This resentful one, you will be able to stiffen when I come later, what grievances do you have, you might as well talk about it? ”
