Chapter 109: Heavenly Mandate Palace
In the blink of an eye, it was already dark.
Mo Jue sat by the river until dark and didn't figure out what to do, but waiting like this is not the solution.
After much thought, Mo Jue decided to sneak into the city to see what was going on while it was already dark.
Thinking of this, Mo Jue stood up, untied the reins of the horse, and whispered, "Let's go, you are free." ”
Then he patted the horse on it.
Watching the horses gradually run away, Mo Jue walked to a secluded place, changed into a black robe, and came to the city wall.
The white colorful cloud robe was too conspicuous in the darkness, and if it was discovered by the sergeant guarding the city, it would be difficult to enter the city again.
At this time, it was nightfall, the stars were hidden, and the soldiers defending the city were hungry, and there would inevitably be negligence, which also gave Mo Jue a chance.
I saw Mo Jue hiding in the shadows under the city wall, and his spiritual sense poked out, staring at the sergeant on the city wall.
The place had been carefully chosen by Mo Jue, and within a quarter of an hour only a squad of sergeants patrolled by, and there was only one sentry.
At this moment, a group of sergeants approached from a distance, passing by Mo Jue's head.
But Mo didn't act rashly, because it wasn't the time yet, and he needed to have a chance to sneak in when the sentry was negligent.
Fortunately, he did not wait long, and the sentry above seemed to be a little impatient, and looked in the direction of the city from time to time.
Mo Jue seized this opportunity, gathered the spiritual power under his feet and jumped up, and when he was about to fall, he stepped on the city wall again, and sneaked into the city in this way.
Everything was as Mo Jue had expected, there was not the slightest movement, and no one noticed him.
However, just when Mo Jue was happy, a small accident happened.
There was a tile on the ground where Mo Jue had fallen, and he happened to step on it.
'Smack!'
The crisp voice sounded, and it was extremely eye-catching in this quiet environment, and Mo Jue's movements froze there.
"Who's there?"
A loud shout followed, and heavy footsteps rang out on the city walls.
[Sure enough...]
Mo Jue sighed secretly, the process was too smooth, making him let his guard down, but something went wrong at the last moment.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sergeant on the city wall had not yet come down, Mo Jue hurriedly jumped onto the roof on the side and put away all his breath.
After a while, a bright light came to the place where Mo Jue fell, and a man in a white robe with a team of sergeants was carefully investigating.
This made Mo Jue a little puzzled, because he could see that the sergeant was obviously following the orders of the white-robed man.
And the latter doesn't look like an official, but more like a gangster, who looks like a child.
After a while, a sergeant found the tile that Mo Jue had broken, presented it to the white-robed man, and said, "My lord, this is the only tile that has been found here, and it should have been broken by a wild dog." ”
Hearing this, the white-robed man frowned and glanced at the tile, and then said, "Spell it back to its original state for me." ”
The tone was very arrogant, as if in his opinion, these sergeants in front of him should have been called by him.
But the sergeant hesitated: "My lord, this..."
This can't be blamed on him, it is estimated that it rained heavily in the city two days ago, and this is not a rich family, the ground is a little muddy, and the tiles are naturally very dirty in this bad environment.
'Smack!'
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the man in white directly slapped the sergeant in the face, and said arrogantly: "Who gave you the courage to dare to talk to me like this, you are a person from the Heavenly Mandate Palace." ”
When the sergeant saw that his captain was beaten, the blade in his hand was unsheathed and pointed directly at the man in white, but the latter didn't care, still looking triumphant.
The sergeant raised his hand, stopped his man's movements, and replied, "Yes, sir." ”
Then he squatted on the ground, assembled the broken tiles in his hand piece by piece, and then presented them to the other party.
The man in white leaned over, carefully looked at the marks on the tiles, and then said angrily: "Are you all blind? You can't see such a big footprint? Now that martial law has begun in the whole city, don't go home and sleep if you can't find this person." ”
With that, the man shook his hand and left, not paying the slightest attention to the faces of these people.
The sergeant stood where he was, his fists clenched, but finally he sighed slightly and said, "Let's go, let's go find someone, it seems that we don't have to sleep tonight." ”
As the words fell, the sergeant left with a group of men.
After they were all out of the range of their spiritual senses, Mo Jue poked his head out of the roof and jumped to the ground.
In front of him, the piece of tiles that had been put together lay quietly on the ground, but there was only mud on it, and there were no footprints, which was clearly the man in white who deliberately made things difficult for those sergeants.
Thinking of this, Mo Jue was even more curious about the identity of the man in white, how big a backstage is it that will make these sergeants dare to be angry or not?
Looking at the direction in which the man in white was leaving, Mo Jue hesitated, but decided to follow and take a look, and his intuition told him that this man was obviously problematic.
It didn't take long for Mo Jue to catch up with the arrogant man in white.
At this time, the alarm bell on the city wall behind him sounded, and a little fire lit up, heading towards the city.
There was a constant noise in the city, and Mo Jue walked down the street, looking at the pedestrians who kept running in confusion.
Everyone had a panicked look on their faces, and even more when they got home, they closed their doors and windows, as if they were afraid of something.
Only the man in white in front of Mo Jue is still hanging, and he is even very satisfied with the masterpiece he has created.
Pedestrians along the way met the man and were afraid to step aside. After the man walked by, he continued to run in a hurry.
Moreover, Mo Jue also found a very strange point, that is, the pedestrians running on the street were all old people over half a hundred years old and some children who looked very thin, among them, there were no men in the prime of life, and there were no women in fat and powder.
There are no teahouses or restaurants on the streets.
Although he was puzzled in his heart, Mo Jue still followed the man in white all the way.
After a while, when there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, and Mo Jue could no longer hide his figure, the man in white finally walked into a mansion.
Mo Jue was stunned for a moment, wasn't this the location of the private school in his memory?
But in his memory, it was an old courtyard, and the mansion in front of him was completely different from what he remembered.
This is a splendid mansion, even the walls are specially painted with gold paint, except for the vermilion door, which is golden in sight.
Mo Jue swallowed a mouthful of saliva and walked past the door of the mansion pretending to be passing by.
I saw a plaque hanging on the door of the mansion, which reads 'Heavenly Mandate Palace'.
It seemed that this banquet was being held inside, and from time to time there were some sounds, all of which were the laughter of women.
'Squeak~'
Just as Mo Jue had just walked to the door, the man in white who had just entered walked out from inside.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw Mo Jue in front of the door, and then shouted coldly: "Boy, who are you? Why hasn't the master seen you?"
Listening to the man's questioning voice, a killing intent rose in Mo Jue's heart, and the person in front of him really made him very unhappy.
The man in white was completely ignorant of Mo Jue's killing intent, and seeing that Mo Jue did not reply, a wave of anger rose on his face, and he shouted: "Boy, are you deaf, aren't you?
As he spoke, he kept approaching Mo Jue, as if he wanted to teach Mo Jue some lessons.
Just when Mo Jue wanted to draw his sword and come out to give the other party a sword, an old hand grabbed him from behind.
An old woman slowly stepped forward and smiled at the man: "My lord, don't be angry, this is the grandson of the old man who went out on a long trip and only returned today, and he doesn't understand the rules." ”
Looking at the old woman's reparation, the man looked at Mo Jue suspiciously, and then said: "Old fellow, take care of your grandson, the master is in a good mood today, don't worry about him, it may not be the case next time." ”
With that, the man turned and walked away.
The old woman kept laughing until the other party disappeared before turning to Mo Jue and saying, "Young man, don't you want to die?" ”
With that, he pulled Mo Jue and left here.
In a dilapidated hut, Mo Jue sat awkwardly on a chair, next to the old woman just now, who was constantly counting Mo Jue.
"Young man, do you know it's wrong? It's not a place you can go to..."
Mo Jue was made by the old woman's words, and hurriedly interrupted: "Grandma, what's going on with this Heavenly Destiny Palace?
Mo Jue's words made the old woman stunned for a moment, and then she told everything eloquently.
It turned out that the predecessor of this Heavenly Mandate Palace was just a medical hall, because the doctors in it were highly skilled and did not receive much remuneration, so many people in the city would go to see a doctor somewhere.
But things changed one day, it was a man named Wei Fu who came from the outside world, it was said that he was cultivating immortal methods, and he also had an elixir in his hand that could prolong people's lives.
At first, everyone didn't believe it, but as time went on, everyone found out that what Wei Fu said was true, and they went crazy all of a sudden.
The medical hall accepted apprentices, and in the end, the original doctor was squeezed out, and Wei Fu naturally took over the position of the owner of the museum, and then changed its name to 'Heavenly Mandate Palace'.
Speaking of this, Mo Jue probably understood what was going on, but Mo Jue's question had not been solved, since it was a medical hall, why didn't he let him approach?
And an immortal cultivator, naming his own medical hall Heavenly Mandate Palace, is it too arrogant.
He found the answers to these questions in the old woman's next story.
It all started from the day when the hospital was renamed 'Heavenly Mandate Palace', because many old people in the city had received his help, and the old man who was dying was cured, so the people in the city spontaneously went to congratulate Wei Fu.
But that day, Wei Fu said an unbelievable passage in front of everyone: because he saved too many people, he was chosen by God as the master of the Heavenly Mandate Palace, which means that his order is the order of God, and anyone who does not listen will die!
As a result, a few people questioned him on the spot, and at this moment, something strange happened, and the people who questioned Wei Fu were so soft that they fell to the ground the next moment, and they were silent, and they were actually dead!
In the days that followed, similar things happened several times, all of them were people who questioned Wei Fu in person, and they died silently in a blink of an eye, and there were no signs of poisoning, and there were no scars on his body.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but believe it, so the name of 'Heavenly Mandate Palace' spread in the city, but because of the pill, there was still an endless stream of people who went to Wei Fu for treatment.
This unbelievable development made Mo Jue a little frightened, if it was really like what the old woman said, then this Wei Fu was too terrifying.
However, this was not over, I saw the old woman's face rise with fear, and said: "Later, strange things happened one after another. ”
