Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you will not be afraid to travel all over the fairy world! Chapter 45: Monsters in the City Lord's Mansion
Meng Xuyang didn't say much when he heard the words, but silently watched Mu Heng dig a hole with a shovel left and a right. In his mind, mortals just need protection and are not much better than ants on the ground. Birth, aging, sickness and death are normal.
But he didn't bother Mu Heng. Although he didn't agree, he respected it.
Luo Yunjin looked at Mu Heng who was busy with these dead people in front of him, and felt very peaceful in his heart. His senior brother has always been the kind-hearted senior brother.
Knowing that he would not let her get involved in these matters, she did not say anything to help.
It has been almost a month since I came to this world, and two groups of people have already been buried. Could it be said that the mortals in the world of cultivation are really no different than ants?
The law of the jungle seems to be more obvious in this environment.
Mu Heng worked tirelessly to bury all the dead and simply made unmarked tombstones for them.
Meng Xuyang and Luo Yunjin stood nearby and watched Mu Heng all night long. Their original plan to rest at the inn was in vain.
"Speaking of which, yesterday I asked the waiter at the inn whether anything strange had happened recently. I think this demon clan didn't kill many people before yesterday. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to hide so many people when they died." Mu Heng was also analyzing while working.
General information about the demon clan.
"Presumably the number of people killed before was not so large. It was just last night that we broke through and killed so many people at once." Meng Xuyang thought for a moment and replied.
"We are really unlucky to encounter this kind of thing by chance." Mu Heng was helpless at this coincidence. Could it be that he was like Conan in the anime, where people would die wherever he went?
"Senior Brother Meng, how should we trace the traces of the demon clan now?" Luo Yunjin wished he could find the demon clan immediately and kill him.
"The demon clan has restrained its aura, and it is difficult to find traces of it if it just crashes around like this." Meng Xuyang didn't have a good way to track down the demon clan, and said: "If it is still here in Xuanzhou City, we can only slowly
View."
Mu Heng understood what Meng Xuyang meant. This plan was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the possibility of catching the monster was probably slim.
"Anyway, let's go to the city lord's mansion first and ask the city lord to put up notices to warn the people not to go out at night to reduce the opportunities for monsters to take advantage of." Mu Heng didn't know much about the monster clan and didn't have a good solution. He could do it now.
The first thing is to ensure the safety of the people.
"Senior Brother is right, let's go to the City Lord's Mansion now." Luo Yunjin nodded lightly and agreed.
"Then I won't go with you. I'll look around to see if I can find any clues." Meng Xuyang was more concerned about the traces of monsters and had no intention of going with Mu Heng and the others.
"That's fine, Brother Meng, please pay attention to your safety. If we find anything, let's take a look first. Don't act in a hurry." Mu Heng didn't know the specific cultivation level of the monster, so he could only remind Meng Xuyang not to be impulsive.
"You too." Meng Xuyang said hello and left with his fairy sword.
"Junior sister, let's go too." Mu Heng turned around and said to Luo Yunjin behind him.
Mu Heng and Luo Yunjin did not fly with the fairy sword, but walked side by side on the not-busy streets.
Although the early morning sunshine was not very strong, it still made Mu Heng feel a bit hot and irritable in summer. Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood now, but Mu Heng felt desolate no matter where he looked.
The location of the City Lord's Mansion is easy to find. It is in the center of the square-shaped Xuanzhou City. Its residence is also the tallest building in the city and can be seen easily.
"Brother, there are so many homeless people on the street?" Luo Yunjin looked at both sides of the street and saw a beggar three or five steps away, and asked curiously.
"I don't know if it's because of the salt policy. If it's because of the salt policy, something may have happened to the court of this star country." Mu Heng also realized that this situation was abnormal, and he was afraid that there was something wrong with the country.
"The leader of this star country is probably a fatuous leader. So many people are starving, so it must have something to do with him." Luo Yunjin said angrily.
"Well. When we get to the capital and see the emperor, it's best to use your identity as Yuqing Xingzhai to suppress him. If this continues, the country will not be a country and will not be far from being destroyed." Mu
Heng suggested that Luo Yunjin's identity is still very useful.
"Well, listen to senior brother." Luo Yunjin didn't know what to do, but since Mu Heng was here, he didn't worry.
"Junior Sister, we are here." In front of the majestic gate, two stone lions sat, looking extremely majestic. Mu Heng looked at the words "City Lord's Mansion" and a trace of contempt flashed in his heart.
With the people under his rule being so miserable, this city lord must not be a good person.
"Who are you? Get out of here. The City Lord's Mansion is not a place where you can stay for a long time." When the soldiers at the door saw Mu Heng and the others, they quickly came to them, drew their sabers, and chased them away fiercely.
"Go and tell your city lord that Yuqing Xingzhai's disciples are here to visit." Luo Yunjin replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.
Seeing such a beauty behind Mu Heng, the soldier's voice was melodious and he lost his mind for a moment. After being reminded by Mu Heng, he regained his composure, put on a smile, nodded and said: "Yu Qing Xingzhai? It turns out to be the Immortal Chief, you
Please wait."
Seeing that the soldier did not forget to take a peek at Luo Yunjin before leaving, Mu Heng said: "Junior sister, it seems that I have to change my attire when walking in the mortal world from now on, otherwise all the men in this world will be fascinated by my junior sister."
"Senior brother, you are making fun of me." Luo Yunjin's face turned red and he glared at Mu Heng, but he felt sweet in his heart. Senior brother was praising himself for looking good in disguise.
"Haha, I'm not making fun of you, I just want to save some trouble." Mu Heng and Luo Yunjin joked, which slightly improved their long-depressed mood.
"Where is the Immortal of Yuqingxingzhai?" Not long after, the soldiers who had just returned to report came out of the door with a large group of people.
Looking at the fat leader with a big belly and shiny mustache, Mu Heng guessed that this was the city lord, but with his appearance, it was difficult to regard him as a good person.
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Mu Heng and Luo Yunjin just stood there waiting for him to greet him.
The fat man glanced left and right, locked eyes with Mu Heng and the two of them, walked over quickly with a small step. The smile and anxious expression on his face were clearly displayed, making Mu Heng feel that he was very old-fashioned.
As expected, those who work in the officialdom are all good people. Regardless of their abilities, they are all outstanding in their human nature and sophistication.
"I am Huan Min, the official of Xuanzhou City here. I have met these two immortals." The city lord, who introduced himself as Huan Min, bowed to the two of them respectfully.
"I have met two immortals." The five people following Huan Min also saluted.
Mu Heng caught Huan Min's eyes flashing with confusion when he saw him before he saluted. He guessed that Huan Min was probably aware of Yuqing Xingzhai's situation and had some suspicions about his origins from Yuqing Xingzhai.
Then he looked at the people behind him.
Following Huan Min on the left is a handsome young man with fine features and handsome features. His figure is not as tall as that of a normal man, but he is full of heroism.
The person on the right side of Huan Min is also a young master, but his figure is somewhat similar to that of Huan Min, so he is probably his descendant.
In the third row, from left to right, stood a middle-aged general in armor, a scholar in a gray gown, and an old Taoist holding a whisk in his hand.
Mu Heng glanced at the handsome young man again, unable to guess his relationship with Huan Min.
As if sensing Mu Heng's attention, the young man raised his eyes and looked back at Mu Heng, with a flash of shyness on his face.
"You don't need to be polite." Although Mu Heng knew that he was not a disciple of Yuqing Xingzhai, he had already regarded himself as one of Yuqing Xingzhai, and at this time, he also needed such an identity to do things, so he was not pretentious.
Already.
Luo Yunjin was just a bystander of Mu Heng's treatment of others, and liked to see his subconscious mind of including her under his own sect.
----------------------------------------
"Two immortals, please take a seat, please take a seat." Huan Min warmly entertained Mu Heng and Mu Heng, unintentionally making Mu Heng the center of attention.
"Come here, serve tea, serve good tea." After arranging everyone to sit down, he ordered the servants outside the door.
Then Huan Min introduced the other people present to Mu Heng and the two of them. The handsome young man was a nobleman from the capital, and the Taoist priest holding the fly whisk was an expert invited by Huan Min. The remaining three people were guessed by Mu Heng.
The son of eunuch Min who arrived was the civil and military official of Xuanzhou City.
Mu Heng also briefly introduced the names of the two of them, namely Taoist Mu Heng and Taoist Yunjin.
"The two immortals came to my Xuanzhou City and made the humble house shine." Huan Min first complimented, then touched the funny mustache on his mouth, and asked with confusion on his face: "I just don't know,
What are the two immortals doing?"
Although Huan Min was not a member of the Taoist sect, he still knew that such immortals came and went. If nothing happened, they would never come to this small place like his.
Mu Heng did not beat around the bush and said straightforwardly: "There is a monster in Xuanzhou City."
"Monster?" Mu Heng's words were like a bomb thrown into the water, and everyone present couldn't help but raise their voices.
The life of a mortal is only fifty or sixty years old. Monsters that have not been seen for hundreds of years are now just legends and records in books to them. Listening to Mu Heng talking about monsters, if they did not know that the two of them are cultivators, they would definitely
When they are joking.
"Yes, a demon clan has appeared in Xuanzhou City." Mu Heng said with certainty.
Sitting opposite Luo Yunjin, the handsome young man known as Lu Siqi stood up and asked solemnly: "I wonder how the immortal found out that it was a monster?"
"Yesterday, my companions and I passed by Xuanzhou City and wanted to stay overnight. We unexpectedly sensed the presence of evil spirits. After that, we followed the evil spirits and found dozens of corpses mutilated by monsters in the south of the city." Mu Heng said simply.
introduced the process of discovering the monster last night.
"Are those dead bodies pale with not a drop of blood left on their bodies?" Lu Siqi's face darkened upon hearing this, and he unconsciously took a step towards Mu Heng and asked eagerly.
"Huh? How did you know that?" Mu Heng was surprised that the other party knew about the corpses.
"That's why I'm here." Lu Siqi's upright body seemed to be trembling a little, and his clenched fists showed the incomparable anger in his heart.
"Could it be that Mr. Lu knows the clues?" Mu Heng asked rhetorically.
