Chapter 248: The Rampaging Cult (Part II)
"How dare you post a notice so blatantly! The Xinghai Sect is really lawless!" After reading the notice under the bronze seat, Mu Yuncheng was really indignant. Not to mention that this Xinghai Sect is an enemy of the dynasty, just his bandit logic that deceives the people makes people extremely angry.
Who knew that Mu Yuncheng's broken voice made the people around him look at him, although he was righteous and outspoken, but seeing so many people looking at him in unison, Mu Yuncheng's face couldn't help but turn red to the root of his ears.
Immediately, an old man walked out with a cane in the crowd, and the crowd retreated on both sides, so he coughed lightly, and then said to Mu Yuncheng: "This son, I am the mayor of Blue Leaf Town, I want to invite you and your friends to my house for a talk, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Mayor of the town......" Mu Yuncheng said secretly in his heart: "What is the matter with this mayor looking for me, I meet him in Pingshui, so he may not necessarily invite me to dinner!"
He looked to the side, and when he saw Mo Yiyue nodding slightly, he agreed: "Okay, I'll ask you to lead the way." ”
The village chief lived in an alley not far away, and the house was not large, but there were a few servants in it, all of whom bowed their heads, and when they saw a few people, they avoided the side.
The four of them went straight to the front hall, and the mayor of the town was also direct, and after signaling the three of them to take a seat, he explained the purpose of his search for them to come here.
"I'm actually the Dynasty's Inspector stationed here, some time ago, we infiltrated a high-level spy into the Xinghai Sect, and he gave us some useful information several times, all of which contributed a lot to the Dynasty's defense. But the people I sent out to connect with him have all disappeared inexplicably, and I don't know where they have gone. It is likely that it was discovered by the Xinghai Sect and encountered an accident. But I still hope that a few people can help me check on the place where I agreed to meet, and maybe there will be any important clues left. ”
Seeing that the elderly mayor actually said that he was in charge of collecting important information for the dynasty, the three of them were both surprised and admired. It's just that why does he trust himself so much and entrust himself with such an important task?
The mayor also seemed to see the doubts of the three of them, so he listened to him: "I heard this son speak just now, and it is estimated that you are not with the Xinghai Sect. I also saw a few people who were very good, and they expected to be very strong. This matter has really bothered me for many days, and I have used all the people around me, but to no avail. The only thing I can do now is find a few of them and help me get there. ”
Seeing that the mayor of this town was very old, and the thing entrusted was to help the dynasty fight against the Xinghai Sect, the three of them had no reason to excuse themselves, and immediately agreed.
"Twenty miles to the west, there is a deserted village, and to the north of the village is a mass grave, and there is a mountain temple on it. That's where we usually choose. ”
The three of them marched according to the instructions of the mayor, and sure enough, within twenty miles, they saw a deserted village buried in the ruins. Passing through the ruins, to the north is a gentle hill with a cemetery behind it. The remnant sun was like blood, and the dazzling light was like a flushed sword shaking in front of him, but it made the originally comfortable and peaceful heart instantly become anxious.
The mountain temple next to it was also dilapidated, and there were a few old crows resting on the dead branches outside the temple, combing their black feathers while looking at the three of them vigilantly.
The crow, this ominous bird, is a sign of death.
Just when Mu Yuncheng was about to walk into the temple to find out, Mo Yiyue stopped him.
"Don't go in!" After he said this, he frowned again and said, "I feel a little strange. ”
"What's the matter? It's all here, what's the matter to talk about when you go back!" Mu Yuncheng only thought that Mo Yiyue was suspicious, and the matter had come to this point, so if he didn't go inside to find out how he could feel at ease.
"No, I think there's something wrong with the mayor. Mo Yiyue stopped in front, with a serious face, without the slightest joke.
Seeing this, Mu Tangtang also persuaded Mu Yuncheng and said: "You just listen to Brother Yi Yue, his judgment has always been very accurate." ”
Mu Yuncheng didn't believe in evil, and his stubborn temper came up, but he yelled at the two: "What's wrong with him? Why are you suspicious, if you're afraid, leave quickly, I'll go in by myself!"
"Mu Yuncheng, I'm not joking with you, think about it, this mayor's words don't seem to be wrong, but the eagerness he showed doesn't give me the feeling of being restless and helpless. It's like he's desperate for us to agree to help him. ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense? isn't he just desperate for you and me to help him?" Mu Yuncheng said secretly in his heart.
Mo Yiyue saw Mu Yuncheng's disdainful face, knowing that he still didn't believe it, so she said again: "After you and I promised him, the happiness he showed didn't have that feeling of sincere gratitude, but a little bit of pride mixed in it. ”
Mu Yuncheng hadn't noticed what Mo Yiyue said before, but after thinking about it, Mo Yiyue wouldn't deceive herself, I was afraid that the mayor of the town really had these abnormal behaviors. But why didn't he say it in the town, on the road, but only when he got here?
"I was a little hesitant before, but now I see that this place is in danger. You and I act rashly, and I am afraid that something may happen. It's not as good as ......."
"Okay, okay, forgive him for being the mayor of a small town, even if he has bad intentions, he can't do anything big, and since I'm here, I have nothing to fear. But you're right, I see you and my sister-in-law waiting for me outside, I'll go in and check it out myself. It's okay, don't worry about me, I'm not what I used to be, and I don't need your protection anymore. As he spoke, he walked into the temple gate, Mo Yiyue couldn't stop him, but he also followed, but left Mu Tangtang outside, ready to pick up the two at any time.
Mu Tangtang also thought a little when she saw this, and saw that she opened a small bamboo tube around her waist, and several black wasps flew out of it. This wasp is called a pathfinder bee, and once it smells a stranger, it will come back to warn its owner, and if nothing happens, it will honestly burrow back into the bamboo tube.
This time, the four hornets circled around the temple for a while, and then flew around Mu Tangtang anxiously. It's clear that someone is hiding in an ambush here!
"Brother Yiyue, Yuncheng, come out quickly. Someone is plotting against you!" As soon as she finished speaking, the ruined temple suddenly collapsed, and a puff of yellow smoke swept around, and the brick wall, which was several feet thick, actually pressed the two of them down alive.
Mu Tangtang was taken aback by all this in front of her, she hurriedly ran forward, and tried her best to move away the bricks and wooden beams on it, until her slender fingers were ground out of blood, and she didn't see the two of them.
"Haha......" A burst of wanton laughter rang out from the side. Mu Tangtang turned his head to look, and it was the mayor of the town who appeared out of thin air, followed by two people in the black robes of the Xinghai Sect.
"You!" Mu Tangtang was furious, pointing at the mayor with his finger, but he was so angry that he couldn't scold a word.
"Yes, I am the helmsman of the Blue Leaf Rudder of the Xinghai Sect, Sha Sitong. Dedicated to killing people like you who rebel against my holy religion. Don't be too sad about you, girl, because you're going to be there for them soon. And I've always been happy to kill, you don't feel pain, just like the two of them, suddenly died. The old man turned into a middle-aged man, turned his cane into a spear in his hand, and laughed at Mu Tangtang extremely proudly.
Mu Tangtang untied the long rope from his waist and was about to fight to the death. And at this moment, there were two blue and white beams of light breaking through the ruins of the ruined temple, and the light became thicker and thicker, and finally it was a waist thick, and I saw the two of them jumping out of these two rays of light respectively, Mu Yuncheng even said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "You old fox, do you think we don't know your tricks? When we entered the temple, we were ready, just waiting for you to show up, you are really easy to deceive, do you really think your plan has succeeded?" Tell you, I saw the clues from your family, they are not ordinary subordinates at all, each of them is a practitioner, and they all exude an evil aura on their bodies. They think I'm not watching them if I don't look at them, but you're all wrong, I have eyes behind my back!"
