Chapter 57 Night Exploration of the City Lord's Mansion
Shen Mu pretended to be stunned and said, "That man in black turned out to be the Taishang Offering Shangguan Mu, didn't the Martial City Lord notice his abnormality at all before?"
Zhou Yi bowed, "Now that Wu Xixue is under house arrest by Yang Liu, in my opinion, most of them can't get out, Shen Xiaoyou, it's better to consider joining my Zhou Mansion and dissociating myself from the City Lord's Mansion in case I am implicated." ”
Shen Mu was stunned, then shook his head and said: "Thank you Senior Zhou for your kindness, but if you do this, the junior is afraid that someone will be scolded by someone pointing at the backbone, so let's wait and see first." ”
Zhou Yi didn't insist anymore, after all, people live for a lifetime, what they fight for is a reputation, and his friendship with Shen Mu is not particularly deep, and it is not appropriate to have a shallow relationship.
......
In the following time, the news that Wu Xixue was under house arrest by Yang Liu quickly spread throughout Tianxing City, during this time, the bullies of Tianxing City all restrained their actions, lest they be arrested by the people of the Demon Punishment Alliance as demons, so Tianxing City seemed quite peaceful, after all, even the city lord was imprisoned, not to mention these evil young cultivators?
The people who were assigned to various families in the City Lord's Mansion also felt strange eyes every day, and their words and deeds were under the attention of others, after all, it was their City Lord's Mansion that found out the trace of the devil, and the people under them were naturally implicated, and they all had anger in their hearts.
Many of the City Lord's Mansion worshippers have already had different intentions, announced that they have drawn a clear line with the City Lord's Mansion, and then they have been absorbed by various families, transformed into another identity.
How high-spirited Wu Xixue was when he established the Demon Punishment Alliance, but now not only is he under house arrest, but the powerful power he had before has also been divided and eaten away by various Xiuzhen families, and the entire City Lord's Mansion has no name.
I saw him rise up a tall building, and I saw him collapse.
Among the Zhou Mansion, except for Shen Mu, Wu Xian and Gao Changge, the rest of the people also announced their separation from the City Lord's Mansion, and after being inspected by Zhou Yi Mixed Yuan Yuzhu, they joined the Zhou family and became Keqing.
Wu Xian made a lot of noise in front of Shen Mu every day to get justice for the Martial Fairy, but when he was about to step out of the Zhou Mansion, he would often find various reasons to shirk it, saying that he couldn't go for the time being, so after a few times, it became the laughing stock of everyone.
Gao Changge didn't care about the eyes of others, as long as Wu Xixue was not confirmed to be related to the demon, he would always be a member of the City Lord's Mansion.
Not to mention Shen Mu, his original purpose was to find the Nine Soul Pill in the City Lord's Mansion, but now that the Nine Soul Pill had not yet arrived, it was impossible for him to retreat.
For example, today Star City has set off a trend of looking for the demon, and many casual cultivators have joined in, because Yang Liu has already released words, as long as he gives accurate information, he will give a Qi Condensing Pill as a reward, this kind of temptation directly detonated all the Qi Condensing Cultivators in Star City, and even the scattered cultivators in the surrounding area came here, wanting to touch the opportunity.
Tianxing City's current city defense is strengthened several times, and it is not allowed to enter or exit, until the person behind Shangguan Mu is caught, people will be allowed to go out of the city, Tianxing City is now several times more lively than before, almost everywhere you can hear someone talking about the devil, under the three of them becoming a tiger, what has happened in recent times has been infinitely exaggerated, and there is even a saying that Yang Liu directed and acted in a play, in order to be Wu Xixue, and now Wu Xixue has been imprisoned by Yang Liu, and he is happy every night!
And Yun Shusheng also made a fortune because of this, as a famous place in Tianxing City to inquire about the news, Yun Shusheng was in full swing during this period of time, from the inside story of the City Lord's Mansion to the small girl who likes to eat, he can easily come and talk with people, in exchange, it is a lot of money that makes him laugh so much that he can't close his mouth.
In the past few days, the person who has become famous in Tianxing City is an old man who performs shadow puppet plays, and it is rumored that his shadow puppet play has reached the level of being fake, and now anyone who has not seen his shadow puppet show in Tianxing City will definitely be ridiculed as a dirt bun, and this matter has also attracted the attention of Yang Liu, the peak monk of the foundation building.
That night in the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Liu had fought with the people who had been transformed into shadow puppets, and now there was such an old man singing shadow puppets in Tianxing City, how could he not be suspicious.
In the mouth of the storyteller, Yang Liu once went to look for the old man, but he just sat motionless in the guest seat, and even ignored the call of his disciple, and when the old man had not finished the shadow puppet show, Yang Liu's face changed greatly and he returned to the mansion with his disciple, and closed the door for three consecutive days!
Just when everyone was spreading more and more mysterious, and almost deified the old man, Yang Liu came forward to clarify that the old man was just an ordinary singer, and there was nothing special about it, which suppressed everyone's various speculations, but there were still people talking behind the scenes, and Yang Liu was completely convinced, so he didn't dare to expose the old man's true identity.
There are many good people gathered together, and gave the old man who performed the shadow puppet show a nickname, called the old man with silk, this name spread ten, ten to hundred, and immediately ignited the emotions of all the people who love to watch the excitement, and everyone rushed to see how magical the shadow puppet show of the old man was.
Shen Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then he immediately figured out that it might be that Qin Tian was on the verge of breaking through, so he made such a big splash in Heavenly Star City, if Qin Tian had an epiphany, entered the gods from mortals, and was promoted to a god cultivator, it would be extremely good news for him.
This night, Shen Mu and Gao Changge went out to search for the traces of the demon head, and during this period of time, there have been monks who have found all kinds of traces, without exception, these traces all point to the City Lord's Mansion, therefore, the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion has been reduced to the lowest during this time, and Wu Tianxing has been under the pressure of the big masters, and has to release a lot of resources, so that he can survive in the cracks.
And the killer organization of Forget Worry Building has also been really put on the bright side for the first time, and many people believe that Wu Xixue is the real owner of Forget Worry Building, and has been relying on his identity on the bright side to cover for himself and secretly practice magic skills.
Gao Changge didn't believe these news at all, so he invited Shen Mu to visit the City Lord's Mansion tonight to see what kind of secrets were hidden in the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course, Shen Mu would not refuse this, he had not had the opportunity to contact the Dark Pavilion at the beginning, so he was directly arranged by Wu Xixue to go to the Zhou Mansion to visit the City Lord's Mansion tonight, and his main goal was the Dark Pavilion!
What Shen Mu didn't understand all the time was why during the period when Wu Xixue was under house arrest by Yang Liu, Jing Fan didn't choose to sneak directly into the City Lord's Mansion to find the Nine Soul Pill, after all, with her cultivation at the peak of foundation building, it was not difficult to do this at all.
After that, Yun Shusheng once met Shen Mu once "unintentionally", and he told Shen Mu that the time had not yet come, and there was also the trick he had given to Shen Mu before, which must not be used lightly, and could only be opened in extremely dangerous situations.
Ji Tianxuan had suggested several times that Shen Mu open the bag, but Shen Mu refused, and Shen Mu faintly felt in his heart that this bag might really be able to save his life.
At this time, Shen Mu and Gao Changge were wearing night clothes, and they were hiding in the City Lord's Mansion, they had been in the City Lord's Mansion for half a month before, and they were more familiar with the terrain of the City Lord's Mansion, so they avoided many inspections until they slowly approached Wu Tianxing's room.
Gao Changge believes that if there is anyone in the City Lord's Mansion who is most likely to betray Wu Xixue, then it must be Wu Tianxing, because Wu Tianxing has always refused to accept Wu Xixue, he is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, why should he listen to Wu Xixue's orders? As long as Wu Xixue falls, then he can smoothly ascend to the throne.
Concealing the breath to the lowest, the two quietly approached Wu Tianxing's room, and there were bursts of women's laughter from inside, these voices made Gao Changge frown, his niece was in such a dangerous situation, and the City Lord's Mansion was also in danger, and he still had the heart to enjoy himself here, what a scum!
Shen Mu didn't feel the slightest feeling, he had long understood the sinister nature of people's hearts, as long as there were enough interests, it would not be strange for relatives to turn against each other and brothers to fight against each other.
After listening outside for a while, he only heard Wu Tianxing boasting about himself with his concubine, saying that in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, the position of the city lord was finally his turn to sit, and he also had to thank the person who planted the blame for Wu Xixue, otherwise, it would not be his turn to be the city lord.
Hearing this, Gao Changge already knew in his heart, and then went to Wu Xixue's room as agreed.
After Shen Mu and Gao Changge left, Wu Tianxing let go of the concubine in his arms, looked out, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Came to Wu Xixue's room, there is no one here now, after all, Wu Xixue has been detained, Wu Tianxing naturally can't do this to set up defenses here, Shen Mu followed the hint given by Yun Shusheng, pretended to inadvertently move the table and chair layout in the room, and suddenly the bookshelves in the room moved slightly, revealing a glimmer of light inside.
Gao Changge's eyes froze, and he looked at Shen Mu in astonishment, and Shen Mu also looked shocked, looking completely unaware.
"Brother Shen, let's go in and take a look!"
Gao Changge made a decision, directly moved the bookshelf away, and walked in first, this should be Wu Xixue's secret, if Wu Xixue is really the devil, this should be the place where she hides monsters.
Shen Mu nodded, went in with Gao Changge, and then closed the bookshelf again, and a machine sounded, and this place had been completely closed.
This dark room is the dark pavilion that Yun Shusheng said, and it is also the place where Wu Xixue placed the Nine Souls Pill, but I don't know if it still exists, after all, such an important thing, Wu Xixue is very likely to carry it with him.
When I got here, I was already in crisis step by step, except for Wu Xixue, no one knew the layout here, and it was very likely that one accidentally moved some mechanism, and then died in this dark place.
Even the Yun scholars, who boasted of knowing everything, didn't know much about the Dark Pavilion, and Shen Mu must be careful here to prevent danger from coming.
