Chapter 12: Suspicion arises

Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the innate true qi cannot resist the cold and heat, and Liu Mu has not yet deeply understood it before, but now he is suffering from it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info is a joke to tell, and the people in the rivers and lakes who were frozen and interrupted the transportation of true qi, Liu Mu, who woke up from his cultivation, found that the fire had been extinguished for a long time, and he could exhale white mist in the cold winter at the beginning of the year, not to mention that he was still in a broken temple without a portal, and when he woke up, he quickly moved his hands and feet, and suddenly found that the Taoist priest who was still meditating by the fire last night was gone, thinking that the Taoist was going to get up in the morning or go out to find some food, Liu Mu didn't care. However, after waiting for an hour and not seeing the Taoist return, Liu Mu was sure that the Taoist had left without saying goodbye. Thinking about it, it was just a meeting in Pingshui, so he didn't care too much, and when he went out to lead the horse to the village, he hadn't forgotten what happened yesterday, and he had to understand it clearly.

This winter is really cold, the horse that was tied to the broken temple for a night, walking is still trembling, looking at the sun that is not particularly warm, Liu Mu helplessly stopped and turned around to carry the true qi to his hands, and stroked the horse's body. As if grateful for what Liu Mu had done, Ma turned around and added Liu Mu's face with his rough tongue, which made Liu Mu's heart warm. After a while, seeing that the horse was no longer trembling, Liu Mu stopped stroking and patting the horse's head and walked back to the village.

There is still some distance from the village, Liu Mu heard the cry, and his heart was shocked, and he didn't care about the horses at the moment, so he got up and ran towards the village, and what caught his eye in a moment was the big firewood pile at the head of the village, surrounded by villagers who wore linen and filial piety, and grabbed a villager Liu Mu asked eagerly: "What happened?"

The villager who seemed to be very disgusted by being pulled and was angry raised his head and was about to scold, but after seeing that Liu Mu was dressed in brocade clothes and not like the people in the village, he was still carrying strange weapons, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous at the moment, and said in a low voice: "Stranger, right?" Although it was a doubt, it was more like a certainty, and then said: "The clan elder went to the immortal last night, and the village is seeing him off!"

"How did the clan elder die?" Liu Mu seemed to think of some terrible consequences, and his face changed drastically and asked eagerly.

"I don't know!" the villager replied a little confused, breaking free of Liu Mu's pull and hurriedly walking towards the crowd.

Liu Mu thought for a long time and then walked towards the crowd, turning around and carefully looking at the platform stacked with thick wood, on which was the body of a silver-haired old man, the wrinkles on his face all showed his age, but he was cleaned up very decently, his face seemed to have been carefully cleaned, and the cotton clothes on his body were clean and there was not a patch. Liu Mu felt a little strange, it was too coincidental that this clan died of old age, and he only made up his mind to come and see it last night, and if he died this morning, everyone would find it strange.

"Which widow is in the village?" Liu Mu found the old man at the entrance of the village yesterday in the crowd, looking carefully at the grade is only a middle-aged person, the light was too dark yesterday, and the people in the village don't pay much attention to appearance, so he looks a little old.

The man didn't expect Liu Mu to detour behind him, inadvertently shivering slightly, his head lowered, Liu Mu was full of doubts about where there was kung fu grinding, and immediately pulled the man from the back collar to the side, revealing the brocade waist card on his waist and said viciously: "This official is a court official, you better explain honestly, otherwise you will be allowed to go to the prison." “

Liu Mu believed that in the countryside, the common people should still be very afraid of the government, and of course, the expressions of the people in front of him also confirmed that his method was effective. He immediately asked, "Who is the widow in the village?"

The man immediately raised his hand and pointed at the crowd, but unfortunately, before Liu Mu could look back, someone shouted loudly: "There is a foreigner there who has arrested the village chief, and he is here to disturb the funeral of the clan elder, everyone stop it." Liu Mu could tell without looking back that this person was the widow who instructed her to go to the mountain temple through the door, and immediately rushed towards the crowd with one kick, and steadily caught the person who spoke out before in the crowd. Looking at some of the pampered villagers, Liu Mu grabbed his waist card and raised it: "Liu Mu, the official Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, came to your village to investigate the case, don't move if you don't want to go to prison for the New Year, otherwise the official has the right to kill you and wait!"

Stopping the commotion, he grabbed the widow by the neck to prevent her from making a sound, and said to the crowd, "Who can tell the official who this man is?"

"My lord, isn't this the widow Zhang in the village, if you are interested, you can take it away!" a murky voice sounded.

Liu Mu ignored the second-rate son, stared at the slightly beautiful Widow Zhang in front of him, loosened the widow's neck a little, and asked coldly: "The pupils are clear and transparent, the eyes are blooming with sky blue, obviously you are still a virgin, your widow's name is not true, right?"

"How is it possible? The monkey said before he was alive that he had already passed the house, how could he still be a virgin, you adults are really joking. "It's still the voice of the second-rate man.

Liu Mu couldn't help but look at Widow Zhang's sudden face and constricted eyes with appreciation, and said sarcastically: "Who are you?"

Seeing that there was no way to disguise it anymore, the widow looked at Liu Mu with a vicious face, and her voice was no longer beautiful, but said a little gloomy: "The little Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi also dares to call an adult, but he is just a lost dog." Without waiting for Liu Mu's face to change, he said again: "If you dare to participate in my teaching, no one can protect you, I will wait for you below." After saying that, he laughed gloomily, like a night owl, and his voice was very sharp.

Liu Mu's face changed abruptly, but it was too late to pinch Widow Zhang's mouth, he didn't expect that Widow Zhang would hide poison in her teeth, judging from this matter, the sect in Widow Zhang's mouth will not be too small, it is very tightly organized, and the sect will be cultivated in the way of dead soldiers, and it is also possible that this widow has a certain status in the sect.

Seeing the dead man, the villagers neatly took a few steps back, avoiding Liu Mu's gaze. Liu Mu didn't know if there were any accomplices of Widow Zhang in the crowd, the death of this widow had broken all clues, so he had no choice but to come to the corpse of the old man, pull open the cotton clothes and check on the body. The corpse of this old clan was scarred on the chest, and he was killed by someone who had broken his heart with a palm. Liu Mu, who knew that there was no other way, had no choice but to stop there, and gave Widow Zhang the name of a bandit, and in the awe-inspiring eyes of the villagers of Tiemu Village, he stepped on the horse and galloped towards the south, as for how to deal with Widow Zhang's corpse in the village, it was not something he should worry about.

Liu Mu felt as if he had forgotten something, and after thinking for a moment to no avail, he left this matter behind, what he didn't expect was that this was just the beginning!
