On the nameless hill, Li Mu and Mo Yun stood opposite each other. The three people standing behind Mo Yun didn't say a word, and listened to the conversation between the two expressionlessly.

"After I arrived at Spirit Beast Mountain, I looked around for the trace of the clouded leopard, but it was fruitless for several days. In the process of searching, I discovered the existence of the Stone Forest Circle, and I expected that the clouded leopard would choose to enter it when it was tribulated, so I found a big tree at the edge of the circle to settle down, and prepared to wait for the rabbit. ”

After waiting like this for a few days, on the night of the ninth day, the clouded leopard appeared in the stone forest and began to suffer. I had planned to kill him after the tribulation and complete the sect's mission. But I didn't expect that several powerful breaths appeared around one after another, and among those few breaths, the weakest ones had the strength of more than five Yuan Demons, and I had just turned into a mortal for a short time, so I naturally couldn't compete with these powerful demons for that clouded leopard, so I had to quietly leave without attracting the attention of those Yuan Demons. ”

"The atmosphere of that night was very tense, and it was in the dark of night, but fortunately, the momentum of the clouded leopard during the tribulation was very strong, attracting the attention of most of the Yuan Demons, and I was able to escape. After I left that place, I rushed straight back to the sect. What did Senior Brother Mo mean by that 'Senior Brother Ma'? Could it be that there were still disciples I sent to be present at that time?"

Li Mu's words were orderly and calm, just from his attitude and expression, Mo Yun couldn't tell that he was lying at all. Although he still had some doubts in his heart, it was inconvenient to show it.

Mo Yun was silent for a moment and then said, "At this time, it is inconvenient to disclose the secrets of our Demon Slaying Department with Senior Brother Li. Maybe after a few **** and so on, you still need Senior Brother Li to cooperate with one or two and repeat your experience again. At that time, Senior Brother Li should understand what happened. ”

This Mo Yun's attitude today is a little abnormal, according to Li Mu's thoughts, as a disciple introduced by He Qiu, he should make things difficult for himself in every way, but he didn't expect him to have this attitude. In addition to doubts, Li Mu was also a little curious about this person's character.

He won't forget the ridicule that bordered on hatred after Mo Yun learned about his relationship with He Qiu last time in the Ma family in the Iron Jade City.

The monk's mind really can't be measured by common sense.

Li Mu pretended to have a depressed look on the surface and nodded, but in fact, he regretted it in his heart, looking at the unhurried appearance of these people, then Ma Chuyuan should have escaped and his life was not in danger.

Mo Yun nodded to Li Mu, and then beckoned the three entourage disciples behind him to go down the mountain. They were all disciples of the Transformation Stage, and they could only walk to Spirit Beast Mountain.

After Li Mumu sent these people away, he took out the sect token, pasted it on the mountain wall, and after the light gate appeared, he flashed into it.

......

The inside of the Xuanming Sect was still as usual, a quiet and peaceful scene, the first and second floors were where the most disciples were, but it was rare to meet a few disciples along the road. The people I met were all hurrying with their heads down, and they all seemed to be very busy.

When the task was handed over in the second-floor task pavilion, the person who received him was the disciple who witnessed the conflict between him and Ma Chuyuan a few months ago.

This person looked at Li Mu, who was dressed in white and had a calm expression, and there seemed to be a hint of fear in his eyes.

Li Mumian repeated what he said to Mo Yun without changing his face, and although the disciple's expression was abnormal, he didn't show it in his words. After listening to Li Mu's words, he said to him in a businesslike tone: "Please ask Senior Brother Li to return to his residence for the time being, and wait for the summons of the Mission Pavilion." There was some minor accident in your mission this time, but it can't be closed right now. ”

Li Mu nodded in understanding, but did not say anything about his encounter with Mo Yun and others from the Demon Slayer Department outside the sect. Seeing his clear face, this deacon disciple became more and more sure that Ma Chuyuan's accident was related to him.

After Li Mu left the Mission Pavilion, he went straight up to the third floor and returned to the Fu Gong Department.

The people of the Fu Gong Department were still carrying out their own cultivation and activities step by step, and Li Mu's appearance did not attract much attention. But as a newly promoted young talisman master in the Fu Gong Department, every disciple who saw him would take the initiative to stop and salute him, and Li Mu did not return the salute one by one, and then walked back to his room.

Before that, he first went to Zheng Yunjie's residence to meet him and roughly explained the experience of his trip. Of course, even in the face of Zheng Yunjie, he couldn't tell his true experience, and the rhetoric he used was still the same as that of Mo Yun and others.

Zheng Yunjie didn't care much about this matter, and when he saw Li Mu coming back safely, his face showed undisguised joy. Later, after encouraging Li Mu again, he let him leave and leave.

Back in his familiar cabin, Li Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, let go of his thoughts, closed his eyes like this, and settled down.

The careful calculation of the Spirit Beast Mountain, the painstaking persuasion in the face of the clouded leopard, the lies and fools inside and outside the sect, and the cultivation and cultivation, but it seems that they are always inseparable from intrigue.

It is only in his own hut that he can completely empty his mind and not think about anything else, so as to enter into the purest state of concentration.

This kind of concentration will not bring much growth to his Yuan Li, but it can greatly ease his state of mind, allowing him to calm down and relieve some emotions.

The power of the divine consciousness is strong and the Dao heart is firm, which does not mean that his heart is invincible, and this occasional method of relaxing and easing his emotions can bring great satisfaction to his mood.

After completing each thing, Li Mu will choose to make such a determination. The duration of the stay depends on the mood.

After three hours passed like this, Li Mu opened his eyes, and his spirit had returned to its full state.

He casually took out a talisman pen from the table next to him, opened the seal of the dansha ink, laid out the talisman paper, and began to concentrate on drawing the spirit rune.

His rune talent, for unknown reasons, has become extremely powerful, even to the point of perversion. Among the three thousand small runes, except for the top two thousand spirit runes that he couldn't draw because of his lack of cultivation, he could almost draw the last two thousand spirit runes at one time.

Moreover, under his hands, the probability of drawing a high-level spirit rune is many times higher than that of ordinary runes. Now, with his concentration and full play, he almost has more than sixty percent of the chance of drawing a top-level spirit rune.

If such a chance was known to other talisman masters, it was estimated that they would be so ashamed that they would directly crash to death on the pillar of the main hall of the talisman department.

Three thousand small runes, if you want to become a four-grade rune master, you have to master them all, it is a long and difficult process. Of course, these have greatly shrunk for Li Mu. But even so, he had to observe and learn one rune at a time, write it down, and draw it.

Until now, in the few months of learning talismans, the number of sigils that Li Mu has mastered is only more than thirty kinds, and there is still a long way to go before the number of three thousand.

But he was not in a hurry, he had to eat one bite at a time, observing the runes, mastering the runes, and drawing the spirit runes, he walked down step by step, his hands were very steady, and his heart was full of joy.

It was also part of his practice, and he enjoyed it very much.

The loneliness of being alone also becomes insignificant under this euphoric mood.

When Li Mu returned to his residence, he usually hung a sign with the words "In retreat" to prevent anyone from disturbing his practice. There are many talisman apprentices who want to come to him for advice or worship under his name, but after seeing such a sign, they don't dare to disturb him without permission.

Li Mu's retreat lasted only ten days before it was interrupted by a visitor.

And the person who came this time was a disciple of the Demon Slayer Department.

He also knew exactly where this person came from, so he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately went out of the customs and followed this disciple towards the location of the Demon Slaying Department.

Zheng Yunjie was worried that he would suffer a loss in the Demon Slaying Department, so he followed.

Li Mu talked and laughed with Zheng Yunjie along the way, without the slightest fear, but it alleviated the worry in his heart a lot.

In the main hall of the Demon Slaying Department, the "Xuanxiao Pavilion" named after Xuanxiao Peak arrived in a blink of an eye, and Li Mu and Zheng Yunjie followed behind the disciple of the Demon Slaying Department and entered it solemnly.

In the empty hall, there were many people standing scattered, these people were in groups of three or five, each gathered together, not knowing what they were discussing-they didn't make any sound, but the fluctuation of divine thoughts from the air told Li Mu that almost all of these people were carrying out divine consciousness transmission.

In the middle of the main hall, Mo Yun and the others that Li Mu had met before stood solemnly, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

Seeing Li Mu's figure, a strange look flashed on Mo Yun's face, and then he nodded at Li Mu and motioned for him to find a place to stand.

Li Mu and Zheng Yunjie didn't know what happened to make these people so serious, but they were also people who knew the rules, and after the two of them found an inconspicuous position in the hall and stood still, they learned from the others to wait without saying a word.

The entire hall was quiet, although there were dozens of people standing scattered, but these dozens of people did not make any obvious sound except for the faint sound of breathing.

Taking this opportunity, Li Mu looked at the main hall of the Demon Slaying Department without moving.

Soon, he discovered the strangeness of this hall.

In this huge hall, apart from the thick beams and pillars, there was not a single table or chair. Only one cold bluestone was trampled very smooth, and it seemed to be born for this purpose.

The impression that the entire hall of the Demon Slayer Department gave him was that the first was broad, the twentieth solemn, and the third was ...... Dead. Even if there were so many cultivators gathered here at this moment, the popularity of these people still couldn't hide the meaning of the dead silence in this hall.

This is really strange, Li Mu secretly wondered in his heart, and at this moment, from the other end of the main hall, there was a low, huge footsteps.

The footsteps of the comer stepped on the ground, and even made the bluestone slab on the ground tremble slightly, such strength and weight, it was obvious that it was not a human race.

Everyone stopped moving, straightened up, and turned their gaze to where the sound was coming from. (To be continued.) )
