Along the way, Qin Mu didn't know what he had done, and he could alarm the Demon Suppression Division.

He didn't panic much in his heart, because as long as he called, no matter where the Ruyi Golden Hoop Rod was, it would instantly appear beside him under the influence of the Qiankun Realm.

The bearded lieutenant who walked beside him was watching him all the way.

After seeing that Qin Mu was pressed with shackles by these people of the Demon Suppression Division, his face did not change, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

"What a good seedling!"

"Why didn't you notice this person in the past?"

After a while, they came to the yamen of the Demon Division.

After entering the lobby, Qin Mu noticed a middle-aged man in black armor, sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea and sipping lightly.

When he was brought in alone, the middle-aged man asked in a cold voice without raising his head, "You are Qin Mu?" ”

Qin Mu couldn't salute because he was wearing shackles, so he said directly: "No, it's Qin Mu." ”

The middle-aged man put the teacup on the low table next to him, picked up a piece of paper on the table, looked at the contents on it and said, "According to the records, in March of last year, you participated in the Ascending Immortal Ceremony held by the Ethereal Sect, but you were eliminated in the first round of assessment because you did not have a spiritual root. ”

"Is this true?"

After Qin Mu heard his question, he suddenly realized in his heart, it seemed that it was because he suddenly had a spiritual root that he would attract the Demon Suppression Division to bring him here.

It's just that he doesn't know how the people of the Demon Town Division know that he already has a spiritual root.

Since he crossed over, the only people he came into contact with were Cang Bo, Steward Liu and his wife, and Zhao Yuanjing, who met on the side of the road.

When he thought about this, he simply admitted it.

"It's true."

The middle-aged man put down the piece of paper and said, "Come on, bring the spirit tablet." ”

When the words fell, as if they had been prepared, a one-person-high stone tablet was carried in by two people.

With a "bang", the spirit tablet was placed behind Qin Mu.

Immediately afterward, the two men unchained him.

The middle-aged man sneered and said: "I saw this spirit measuring tablet, there are five lines on it, representing gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and next to each line, there are many numbers, and those numbers are the values of the spirit root." ”

"You put your hand on it now, I want to see if you really don't have a spiritual root!"

When Qin Mu heard this, he could only turn around and slowly raised his hand and put it on the stone tablet.

After a few breaths, I saw a thin golden line appear on the recessed vertical line under the word 'gold', and slowly rose to the value of 10 at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But the thin line on the stele did not stop because of this, and slowly exceeded the values of 20, 30, 40, and 50.

When the middle-aged man saw this, his eyes had already subconsciously widened.

He also got the notice from above, and only then did he know that Qin Mu was such a number one person.

And when he ordered someone to find out Qin Mu's information, he immediately became strange.

The other party participated in the Ethereal Sect's Ascending Immortal Ceremony last year, and because he didn't have a spiritual root, he was eliminated in the first round.

But the secret decree given to him from above said that this person's spiritual root is not low, and suggested recruiting into the Demon Suppression Division.

And what is stamped on this secret decree is not the seal of his bosses, but the seal of the national teacher!

In other words, this was an order personally given by one of the five Resident Earth Immortals.

He didn't dare to doubt the other party's gaze at all, so this meant that either there was a mistake in the recording, or there was something wrong with Qin Mu himself.

Therefore, there was the matter of Qin Mu being shackled on the street and escorted to the Demon Division.

Right now, when he watched the golden thin line finally exceed 50 and stop moving after reaching the value of 57, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned cold.

"Tell me, where did your spiritual root come from?"

Qin Mu hugged his fists unhurriedly and said, "I went to Daylight City with my parents to buy goods, and my parents were killed by thieves on the way, and when I came back, I was met with a downpour. ”

"Because I was weak and sick since I was a child, after this rain, the whole person became groggy, and I only remember eating a fruit, and then I came back to do the funeral for my parents, and then I couldn't afford to be sick."

"When I woke up, I found that something was wrong with my body, and I could feel a chill surging when I was in my tail bone."

"I originally thought that this was just an illusion in Xia, but a few days ago, I met my best friend Zhao Yuanjing on the street, and I heard him say something about Zhu Guo, and I knew that Zhu Guo could reshape the spiritual root, so I secretly suspected that I might have eaten a fairy fruit similar to Zhu Guo by mistake that day, which caused a change in my body."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man's face was still cold.

"Zhu Guo?"

"Zhao Yuanjing?"

After muttering these words softly, he immediately ordered: "Come on, bring Zhao Yuanjing!" ”

Not long after, Zhao Yuanjing, who was only wearing wet white pants and a few red lip prints on his chest, was forcibly carried here.

He was already frightened, his face was pale, and his whole body trembled.

As soon as he was put down by the two people who were holding him beside him, he immediately collapsed on the ground.

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhao Yuanjing's wet white pants with disgust, and glanced at the two people standing behind Zhao Yuanjing.

One of them arched his hand and said, "Hundreds of households, when the subordinates dragged this person out of the Qinglou, he was so frightened that he peed his pants." ”

After the middle-aged man heard this, the disgust expression on his face became even stronger, and he waved his hand again and again: "Quickly pull it out and rinse it for him, this urine smell stings the official's eyes." ”

The two immediately smiled awkwardly, dragged Zhao Yuanjing out of the lobby, poured a few buckets of cold water directly from the head by the well, and only after the smell dissipated did they bring him back to the lobby.

After being poured a few buckets of cold water in a row, Zhao Yuanjing had come back to his senses, but his mind was still a little confused.

He trembled and didn't dare to speak, and knelt there with his head bowed in an orderly manner.

The middle-aged man asked coldly, "Zhao Yuanjing, as an ordinary person, how can you know 'Zhu Guo'?" ”

Zhao Yuanjing hurriedly told him that he had a distant cousin who was a disciple of the Ethereal Sect, and because of his meritorious service, he worshipped an elder as a teacher, and got a Zhu Guo, and he told all of them.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man raised his hand and pointed at Qin Mu, who was standing beside him, and asked, "Do you recognize him?" ”

Zhao Yuanjing turned his head, and when he saw Qin Mu, his face suddenly changed.

And Qin Mu grinned at him.

Zhao Yuanjing thought that Qin Mu had committed something, and then involved him, especially after seeing Qin Mu's 'ill-intentioned' smile, he immediately knelt and climbed a few steps, shouting: "My lord! My lord! The villain has nothing to do with him, our family is even feuding, if he commits something, it has absolutely nothing to do with the villain! ”

The middle-aged man said coldly: "But he said that you instructed him to come to the Demon Division to steal Zhu Guo!" ”

When Zhao Yuanjing heard this, his face turned a little pale, and he kowtowed again and again: "My lord! My lord! The villain was wronged, the villain just met him on the road, and then showed off that the villain was about to get a vermilion fruit. ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Really?" ”

Zhao Yuanjing nodded quickly like a chicken pecking rice, and hurriedly said: "The villain definitely didn't dare to tell half a lie, he really talked to him about Zhu Guo, and other than that, he didn't talk about anything." ”

The middle-aged man immediately nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can go back first...... If you let the official know that you are concealing, your whole family will die! ”

Zhao Yuanjing kowtowed and thanked him as if he had been amnestied, then got up and left here in fear.
