Chapter Seventy-Seven: Old Man Li's Home
"Okay, I've taken this task, but I can't guarantee that I'll bring you back a living son, but whether it's alive or dead, I'll bring him back, that's my promise. Mu Tianyi looked serious and said.
"Thank you in advance, as long as you can bring him back, whether it is life or death, this scroll is yours. Mrs. Wang also said solemnly.
"I need some clues, like why he went out at that hour, and what people or things has he been in contact with lately?" asked Mu Tianyi.
"Feng'er is not the kind of child who causes trouble everywhere, he has never had the habit of going out at that hour, but he said today that he heard some kind of strange sound, such as the sound of the piano, he had to go out to see, we had no choice, so let Xiao Yangzi accompany him to take a look, anyway, I want to come not far outside my yard, and there is nothing to do, who knows... Mrs. Wang couldn't stop her tears as she spoke.
Wang Wanli gently patted his wife's shoulder, hugged her into his arms, and comforted her silently.
"Did anything strange happen here two months ago, or did anyone move here two months ago?" Mu Tianyi couldn't bear to disturb the sad parents, but he continued to ask, after all, the earliest breakthrough point is found, the higher the probability of those individuals being rescued.
Wang Wanli and his wife both shook their heads, Wang Wanli said: "We rarely go out, even if there is something, we send someone to do it, if you say where this Leishan Town is the most well-informed, it is estimated that the shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn knows best, he is a know-it-all in Leishan Town." ”
Leaving the Wang family, Mu Tianyi returned to the inn, and the shopkeeper immediately greeted Mu Tianyi with a smile on his face, and said, "Son, you are back!
Mu Tian smiled and said, "Where do you start with this?"
"Did you provoke the people of the Wang family? Someone saw that you were brought into the Wang family, and everyone thought that you couldn't get out!" said the shopkeeper in a low voice.
"That's just a misunderstanding, what's more, is the Wang family a tiger's den in Longtan?" Mu Tianyi felt a little funny, that Wang Wanli and his wife are only in the acquired realm, what is there to fear?
"Childe doesn't know, this Wang family seems to be ordinary, but do you know how many masters of the Spirit Realm and even the True Spirit Realm have never come out after entering? It is said that there are hidden masters in their family, but no one has ever seen them. As if afraid of being heard, the shopkeeper continued to whisper.
"I heard that he has a powerful elder brother of the Emperor Spirit Realm, so it's not surprising. Mu Tianyi said with some understanding, the Spirit Realm and even the True Spirit Realm were like ants in the eyes of the Emperor Spirit Realm.
"Hehe, his elder brother of the Emperor Spirit Realm rarely comes back, I mean that his family has always hidden powerful guys, otherwise how can he be invincible in Leishan Town?"
Mu Tian was shocked when he heard this, he only felt a chill down his spine, with his cultivation, he didn't feel any master's breath in the Wang family, it can be seen that that his cultivation is very high, and he is extremely good at hiding, there is such a master, why bother looking for him to find his missing son? Mu Tian couldn't figure it out.
However, since he accepted this task, he would naturally try his best to find it, so he no longer dwelled on those secret things, and asked: "I heard that the shopkeeper is known as a know-it-all in Leishan Town, do you know that in the past two months, anything strange has happened in Leishan Town? Except for those missing people." ”
"You can ask the right person, if you want to talk about the big and small things in Leishan Town, there is really nothing I don't know, well, I think about it, two months ago... The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, and then told a few strange things.
Two months ago, a group of robbers suddenly came to Leishan Town, but the strange thing is that they robbed Lao Li Tou's house, which is surrounded by four walls, and people are still nervous, and they don't know which tendon is wrong with that gang of robbers, so they actually found the poorest one to rob.
Lao Li Tou died at the hands of the gang of robbers, and then the gang of robbers disappeared as if the world had evaporated, and never appeared again.
Not long after, this Leishan town came to an embroidery girl, named Zhu Zhu, opened a cloth shop, to say that this Zhu Zhu is really beautiful, not like a real person, just like the painting came out, but attracted a lot of men, how many people in order to see her, every day to buy cloth in her store, to say that the cloth she weaves is also unique beauty, this Zhu Zhu people are beautiful, kind-hearted, often help the neighbors around.
But the only strange thing is that this Miss Zhu Zhu never goes out of the cloth shop, and her neighbors never enter her house. There was even a curious neighbor who wanted to sneak in to take a look, but somehow opened the door of Zhu Zhu's house and returned to her own home, but no one knows whether she opened her own door or Zhu Zhu's door, maybe she was dreaming at all.
The last strange thing is that the people who have been missing one after another, among those people are mortals, there are also acquired realms, and even spirit realm masters, but they have all disappeared quietly, and there is not even a trace of fighting, and they have all been to the vicinity of the Thunder Fire Cave.
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Mu Tianyi was silent for a moment and said, "No, those missing people haven't all been to the vicinity of the Thunder Fire Cave, at least Wang Feng, the young master of the Wang family, has never been to the vicinity of the Thunder Fire Cave. ”
I learned from the Wang family that Wang Feng was a timid person with a low cultivation, and he would never go to a dangerous place like the Thunder Fire Cave.
The shopkeeper also fell into deep thought when he heard this, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up: "Hey, maybe they haven't all been to the vicinity of the Thunder Fire Cave, but they must have all been to Miss Zhu Zhu's cloth shop." I heard that the young master of the Wang family loves Miss Zhu Zhu very much, but which man in this Leishan Town doesn't like Zhu Zhu!"
Mu Tianyi's heart moved, and said: "What you said is reasonable, but I always feel that there is something wrong with the gang of robbers who attacked Old Man Li, I want to go to Old Man Li's house first, I don't know where his house is?"
"Just north of Leishan Town, almost outside the town, that place is very remote, and there are not many people going, and it is almost near the Thunderfire Cave to the north. The shopkeeper seemed to be a little resistant to that place, and was reluctant to say more.
"Then where is Miss Zhu Zhu's cloth shop?" Mu Tianyi asked again.
"It's also in the north, the innermost part of the commercial street in the north, it's easy to find it if you go, hehe, you know, where there are many men!" The shopkeeper showed a lewd smile, if he hadn't had a family, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation of Zhu Zhu.
"Thank you!" Mu Tianyi left the inn, and as he walked, he thought, this seems to be too coincidental, they are all north, and the Thunder Fire Cave is also in the north, this Zhu Zhu looks very suspicious, and that gang of robbers is indeed a little weird, what is this old man Li worthy of being robbed by others?
Along the way, he didn't come up with a reason, unconsciously, Mu Tianyi had come to the north of Leishan Town, and if he walked further, he was about to leave Leishan Town, looking at the scene in front of him, he was stunned, this place is not a place to live at all, but like a cemetery, surrounded by ruins and broken walls, as well as countless graves, no wonder the shopkeeper is reluctant to say more.
Among the many dilapidated houses, one of them seems to be relatively intact, and it seems that there were people living in it not long ago, because there are fewer weeds in the courtyard and there is not much dust, Mu Tianyi guessed that this is the home of Old Man Li.
As soon as he entered Old Man Li's courtyard, he felt a strange aura, as if something was staring at him, he looked around vigilantly, and he didn't notice anything, and he didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations.
"Maybe I have too much heart!" Mu Tianyi shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.
Looking around in the courtyard, Mu Tianyi found that there seemed to have been a fierce battle here, and it was a battle between the mysteries, it seems that the cultivation of this old man Li is not low, at least it is also the realm of the spirit, which Mu Tianyi did not expect, because the shopkeeper never said that this old man Li is a mystery.
Entering the main house of Old Man Li, Mu Tianyi was taken aback, it is said that more than two months have passed, and at least a layer of dust will fall in the house, but it seems that there are still people living here, it is unusually clean, but Mu Tianyi still found a few filaments in the corner of the bed, which look as thick as a hair, but they are as white as snow, and this filament is very smooth to the touch, and it is elastic, like a fishing line.
He put the filaments into the soul ring, looked at the scene in the room again, and prepared to leave. Suddenly the feeling of being watched came again, and he jerked his head, chuckling inwardly, for he saw an old man standing behind him, with a look of anger on his face, staring closely at the hand from which he had just taken the filament.
Mu Tianyi wanted to pretend not to see the old man, after all, he was just a spirit body, but his eyes betrayed his heart, and the old man was also stunned, he didn't expect that Mu Tianyi would be able to see him, although he could indeed see the spirit body after cultivating to a certain extent, but that was what the mysteries above the Emperor Spirit Realm could only do after cultivating an independent soul body, and the young man in front of him looked like he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it could never be the Emperor Spirit Realm.
"Are you Old Man Li?" Mu Tian didn't hide it when he saw this, anyway, he had already been discovered, but fortunately, this old man was just a spirit body, if he didn't agree with him, he planned to use his spiritual power to destroy his spirit body.
"Give it back to me... Old man Li stared at Mu Tianyi tightly, his voice ethereal and illusory.
"Do you mean this? Give it back to you, tell me what it is?" asked Mu Tianyi as soon as he took out the filaments.
"That's my daughter's... Give it back... Old man Li's transparent figure fanned and fanned, and his eyes looked directly at this Mu Tianyi.
Mu Tianyi shrugged his shoulders and said, "You tell me what this is! ”
"Silk, my daughter's. Old man Li still said this. Hearing Mu Tianyi's confusion, of course he could see that these were silk, but what kind of silk was it?
And he repeatedly emphasized that it was her daughter's, what did he mean?
It seems that this spirit body seems to be a little unconscious, and he can't ask anything if he asks again, thinking about it, Mu Tianyi still decided to return those threads to Old Man Li, even if he is unconscious, he still thinks about these threads, which can be seen that this is very important to him.
Putting a few strands back in their place, the anger in Old Man Li's eyes was instantly extinguished, and he changed to a look of being unrelenting, wandering around the house, repeatedly: "Daughter, save my daughter, my daughter... But he didn't pay attention to Mu Tianyi anymore, and seemed to treat him as air.
