Chapter 104: Don't Dump for the Time Being, Explore the Ancient Tomb at Night
Early the next morning, Li Mu walked down to the fifth floor and found where Li Tiantian was.
The girls who were kidnapped by the lord of Dengxian Mansion finally all recovered their senses, and after Li Tiantian's reassurance, their emotions also stabilized. At this time, they were gathered in a relatively spacious room by Li Tiantian, all of whom were women from good families, and if they were seen appearing in the Qinglou, their reputation would be damaged.
Li Tiantian inquired about them one by one, and learned that their respective residences were all the daughters of officials or wealthy merchants in Quanzhou City. Li Tiantian also asked Gu Sanniang to inquire, and many people have indeed gone to the government to report the case recently, talking about the loss of their daughter.
After Li Mu heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, if the owner of the Dengxian Mansion not only robbed people but also killed people, then it would be difficult for him to settle these girls.
Li Mu said to Li Tian: "This matter has to trouble Miss Li to go in person - in order to protect their reputation, after you send them home one by one, you will say that you are a disciple of the Falling Moon Palace, and this time you took them away to test their qualifications and enter the door, and now they are not qualified enough, so you will send them back." β
Seeing Li tilting his head, he turned his gaze to those girls and said lightly: "You have to cooperate with Miss Li's statement, don't tell the truth, otherwise you will ruin your reputation, and I will not be responsible." β
These girls all know that Li Mu and Li Tiantian teamed up to save them, and they are all daughters of people with status, and they can be regarded as knowledgeable and reasonable, and they are well aware of the importance of festivals to themselves, so they naturally have no objection to Li Mu's requirements.
After Li Mu explained these things, he turned to Li Tian and bowed his hand slightly: "It is true that I can join hands with Miss Li to hoe and rape this trip, but Li still has important things to do, so I have to say goodbye to Miss Li here." β
Li Tianting's eyes flowed, and he said in a sincere tone: "I am really grateful for Brother Li's help this time. But when we get together, when we finally say goodbye, we will say goodbye to Brother Li here. After she finished speaking, she bowed to Li Muying with ancient rites.
Li Mu accepted it calmly, and then turned around and went downstairs.
At this time, Wu Nianyi said loudly behind him: "This hero, I don't know your name yet!"
"Xuanming faction, Li Mu"
The voice came from downstairs, and Li Mu was gone.
Li Qian touched Wu Nianyi's cheek and looked at her with some pity.
......
Xiangmanlou is in the southern urban area of Quanzhou, is a medium-sized restaurant that is not big or small, and the reputation is also very general, in front of this building is just a street that specializes in selling spices, taking the meaning of "the long wind passes by, and the whole building is full of fragrance".
It was still early morning when Li Mu arrived here, so there were no customers in this restaurant, and it seemed a little deserted.
After Li Mu entered this building, he found Xiao Er and asked him to call the shopkeeper out. Seeing that he was exquisitely dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, the little second didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he ran directly to the back hall and called the shopkeeper out.
The shopkeeper of this fragrant building is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a pair of eyes half-squinted, looking shrewd and philistine. After Li Mu saw him, he didn't say much, and directly took out the jade pendant that Xue Chucai gave him and handed it over to this person.
The shopkeeper's expression changed after seeing this jade pendant, and after the envoy opened the second child, he took Li Mu upstairs.
Li Mu followed this person up to the top floor of Xiangman Building, and then the shopkeeper stood in front of a room, knocked on the door lightly and said, "Young Master, the person you are waiting for is here." β
There was a sound of footsteps from inside the door, and someone walked quickly to the door and opened the door, it was Xue Chucai. Seeing Li Mu outside the door, a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, but he said with a look of surprise on his face: "It turns out that Uncle Li has arrived, please please hurry up." β
The room was empty, and it was obvious that the other two people invited by Xue Chucai had not yet arrived, or had already arrived but had not yet come here.
Li Mu nodded, followed Xue Chucai into the house, and the shopkeeper retreated by himself.
Xue Chucai and Li Mu sat down at the table, and Li Mu deliberately asked, "Haven't the other two arrived yet?"
"I have received a message from my two uncles, and they should be able to arrive within this day. β
"I see, Senior Brother Xue has been in Quanzhou for a long time, have you ever been to the Jin family cemetery to investigate?
Xue Chucai's expression was not unusual, and he replied: "The senior nephew took a look from a distance, the guards of the Jin family cemetery are as usual, and the inside is also very calm, no one should find out where the storage bag is." β
"Can Senior Nephew Xue be sure? After all, you've been in the business for three years, and these three years are enough for many things to happenβfor example, how much has the strength of the old ghost of Jindan recovered?"
Xue Chucai's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said, "I can't break that formation alone, so naturally I have no way of knowing the situation inside, but that old ghost has not dared to show his face in front of people so far, so he must still be very weak and not to worry." β
"Is it really not a concern?" Li Mu stared at Xue Chucai tightly, wanting to see something from his face.
But this person always had a faint expression, but he looked worthy of his heart.
Li Mu's plan has been decided, the reason why he said those words was just to test Xue Chucai, but this person is extremely good at forbearance and does not show the slightest flaw. Li Mu didn't stay here for long, so he went to the restaurant to find a seat at random and sat down, and called Xiao Er to serve him wine and food.
Li Muwan rejected Xue Chucai, he leaned on the side of the building alone, looking at the pedestrians on the street downstairs, smelling the aroma coming from the tip of his nose, drinking a glass of wine, and eating a bite of food, which was also extremely suitable.
Moreover, after Li Mu cultivated into a Yuan Demon, his stomach seemed to be never filled, and he ate from morning to night. The little second looked at him more and more strangely, and there were many people coming and going around him, but it didn't affect Li Mu in the slightest.
In the middle of the night, when the restaurant was about to close, the other two people invited by Xue Chucai finally arrived.
After some introduction, Li Mu learned that these two people were named Long Xiaofang and Wan Guiren respectively, and the fluctuations of the yuan power emanating from the two of them were similar to Li Tiantian, both of them were cultivators in the middle stage of Huafan, and they were much more condensed and stable than Zhi Kuang Lao Dao. The children of the sect, after all, are not comparable to those in the casual cultivation. Of course, the scheming city government of scattered cultivation is not something that the children of the sect can catch up.
Moreover, there are many casual cultivators who rely on their own opportunities and qualifications to cultivate to an extremely high level, and that kind of cultivation is another matter.
The two of them were obviously a little surprised by Li Mu's existence, and they also recognized Li Mu, a disciple who had won the first place in the innate martial arts. However, compared to Xue Chucai, these two people were a little happy and angry, and Long Xiaofang directly pointed at Li Mu and asked, "Senior nephew Xue, what's going on?" Not only did he not take Xue Chucai into his eyes, but he also didn't consider Li Mu's feelings.
Xue Chucai smiled bitterly and said: "Qi Qi two senior uncles, inviting this senior uncle Li is a disciple's temporary idea, that formation is very powerful, one more person also has one more guarantee, I hope the two senior uncles don't blame." β
Seeing that the two of them were still very dissatisfied with Li Mu, Xue Chucai hurriedly said: "Senior Uncle Li has a record of killing the middle stage of Huafan Scattered Cultivation before-"
Li Mu's heart moved, this person told his record in order to attract the suspicion of these two. However, in the face of the surprised eyes of these two people, he still nodded reservedly, and made an arrogant expression.
The two of them obviously made some deal before they came here, and they were quite a bit of the same thing, the two glanced at each other, and the ordinary-looking Wan Guiren said: "In this case, I have no objection to Senior Brother Li's joining." Long Xiaofang also nodded in agreement.
Xue Chucai breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was glad that they were on the same page. He asked, "There are many dreams in the night, if the two uncles don't mind, how about we go to visit the Jin family's cemetery tonight?"
The two of them glanced at each other again, and they all agreed with Xue Chucai's suggestion, and Li Mu naturally had no objections. As soon as the four of them cleaned up a little, they walked towards the Jin family cemetery outside the city under the leadership of Xue Chucai.
The city of Jeonju is not like Yedu, there is no curfew, and this place is extremely prosperous, even if it is late at night, the streets are still full of people, very lively. The figures of Li Mu and the other four walked through the crowd, did not attract anyone's attention, and went out of the city smoothly.
According to Xue Chucai, the Jin family cemetery is twenty miles outside the city of Quanzhou, and after the four of them left the city, they no longer concealed it, and they all ran towards their destination at a high speed. Li Mu deliberately slowed down his pace, and seemed to be a little difficult to follow behind the three.
When the two of them saw his performance, they inevitably felt contempt in their hearts. Xue Chucai knew part of his strength, and when he saw him so deliberate, he felt a strong sense of vigilance in his heart.
Twenty miles away, a tea time was coming, and the three of them followed Xue Chucai and went around from the back of this cemetery, avoiding the Jin family's tomb keepers at the main entrance.
These four people have ghosts in their hearts, but their steps are surprisingly light, and in this mysterious tomb group at night, the figures of the four people are like ghosts, and they do not make any sound.
This Jin family cemetery is roughly divided into three steps, near the front of the main entrance is an ordinary grave, only a small earthen bag and tombstone. The tomb in the middle is higher, and the area is much larger, and it is upright, and the tombstone is also extraordinary, obviously the person with the status of the Jin family can be buried.
And the place where Li Mu and the others entered is at the back of the entire cemetery, where the back is on the mountainside, but there are only three tombs, but these three tombs are all built extremely tall and solemn, and most importantly, behind the tombstones of these three tombs, there is a closed stone door, which is connected to the belly of the mountain, and there is obviously a hole in it.
Xue Chucai took the three of them to the grave in the middle, took out a stone dagger from his arms, and inserted it into the stone door behind the tombstone, the stone door made a low sound, and then separated from it, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to pass through.
Xue Chucai flashed in and said in a low voice, "Please let the three senior uncles enter with me." β
Li Mu and the other three glanced at each other and entered the stone gate one after another.
Inside this stone gate is a passage that is several zhang wide, the passage is several zhang high, on the walls on both sides, there are faint candle flames burning every few zhang, it looks very eerie and terrifying.
After the four of them entered it together, Xue Chu walked to the stone door and patted it gently, and the two stone doors made a soft sound, and then closed as before, leaving no trace.
The four of them walked together into the depths of the tomb. (To be continued.) )
