Hearing Ba Junming's wailing before his death, Hu Jiuyang was confused: "What does this have to do with me?"
Li Mu was surprised and amused at the same time, but he understood the truth in an instant: "This person doesn't know my origin, and he couldn't tell me my name before he died. On the contrary, Wanhua Tower is here. In the future, his masters will conduct a thorough investigation
This matter will start from Wanhua Tower. If Hu Jiuyang doesn't want to take responsibility, he will definitely keep me, or at least figure out my background before letting me go.
Otherwise, Hu Jiuyang may not be able to explain it if the experts from Langming Mountain come to visit."
Li Mu's thoughts were spinning in his mind. He looked at Hu Jiuyang and found that Hu Jiuyang's eyes were flashing and he was also looking at him. When the two looked at each other, they both knew that the other understood the meaning of Ba Junming's cry before his death.
"This Taoist brother..."
Hu Jiuyang's eyes flashed and he smiled at Li Mu and said: "Ba Junming from Langming Mountain is cruel and ruthless. He attempted to kill someone but was killed by the victim instead. He will report it to the official soon. I can serve as a witness for this matter."
Li Mu was stunned and said: "Report to the official? When monks fight, do they still need to go to the official?"
Hu Jiuyang explained: "Now that Master Zhou is in charge of Yunzhou Mansion, monks are strictly prohibited from killing or injuring people in private. If a human life case really occurs, it must be reported to the government and let the government come to deal with it. Don't worry, Master Zhou is the current ruler of the government.
He is honest and fair. It is not your fault, and he will never blame you."
Li Mu chuckled and said: "If Master Zhou is really fair and honest this week, why are the counties under his rule full of starvation and countless deaths? I came from the county town below. There are countless victims along the way, and there are countless people who sell their sons and daughters. Why don't Master Zhou go and rescue them this week?"
Save them?"
Hu Jiuyang said: "Brother Taoist, you may have misunderstood him! Master Zhou has been working hard and sleeping all day long to govern a state, wasting his energy and energy. In less than three years, he has turned gray and desolate.
He said to Li Mu: "In the three years since Master Zhou took office, the counties near Yunzhou Prefecture have become prosperous, and the population has improved greatly than before. It may be that only slightly remote counties can't be taken care of. These counties are located in remote areas, and the weather
Only when Emperor Gao was far away could corrupt officials cause trouble and harm the people. All in all, Yunzhou Prefecture is already much better than before."
Li Mu smiled half-heartedly: "Is that why you have female demons as prostitutes in Wanhua Tower to absorb men's yang energy?"
Hu Jiuyang said sternly: "Brother Taoist, if these monsters absorb Yang energy to a certain extent and do not kill people, wouldn't it be much better than them killing people secretly and stealing people's souls?"
He sighed: "Before Master Zhou took office, monsters were causing trouble in Yunzhou. There were ghosts crying at night. The monks and monsters fought fiercely, causing numerous casualties to each other. Later, when Master Zhou took office, he treated humans and monsters equally, and monsters could also work at work.
Live and earn money to support your family, instead of eating people to survive. You only need to register with the government, and you can live in Yunzhou like other people."
This was the first time Li Mu heard such a thing: "How can humans and monsters coexist peacefully? Monsters want to eat people when they are hungry. What if the monsters become ferocious and cause a big mess?"
Hu Jiuyang said: "The state has national laws, and families have family rules. Monsters who break the law are guilty of the same crime as humans! Just deal with them according to the law!"
Li Mu said: "I don't believe it! When I was in the small county below, I saw local magistrates plundering people's wealth and being very greedy. There were also city gods colluding with demons and devouring humans, and night wandering gods colluding with city gods, asking for benefits and killing people wantonly. These things
I don’t see anyone taking care of this matter!”
Hu Jiuyang said: "Brother Dao, if you have real evidence, I can take you directly to see Master Zhou. If everything is true, he will definitely give you an explanation!"
Li Mu sneered: "Give me an explanation? What kind of explanation can I ask for as an idler? Giving an explanation to the common people is enough!"
When he said this, his ears twitched and he nodded to Hu Jiuyang: "Someone is here, Brother Hu, see you later!"
After saying one sentence, I took a step forward, and with one step, the person had disappeared where he was.
"Hiss!"
When Hu Jiuyang saw Li Mu take a step forward, the space shook slightly, like ripples in the water. The next moment, the ripples disappeared, and Li Mu had disappeared. He suddenly exclaimed, his eyes bulging out: "Shrink the ground to an inch! Shrink the ground to an inch.
Cun! He is a person with great supernatural powers!"
In the world of cultivation, the most common ways for monks to travel are usually to fly in the clouds and mist, or to fly with a sword as a swordsman, but the truly powerful movement techniques are not these, but the body transformation into rainbow light or the five elements escape technique, among which the most profound ones are
It’s the magical power of space, the art of shrinking the earth!
Those with great supernatural powers can ascend to heaven, descend to the Nine Netherworlds, and the Eight Desolations and Heavens with just one step. This is the true magical power of walking.
Although Hu Jiuyang didn't understand the way of space, he had heard the relevant legends after all. When he saw Li Mu breaking through the void and disappearing, one could imagine the horror in his heart: "Who is this person? Which old fairy Yu Fengchen is he? It turns out that
He just fought with Ba Junming on purpose. If he really wanted to kill Ba Junming, he would probably be able to beat him to death with just one thought!"
But he said that Li Mu took a big step, broke through the void with his thoughts, and came to his own house. When he stood still, he couldn't help being surprised and happy: "It really can be done!"
When he returned to the world of the Great Yin Dynasty from modern times, because when he looked directly at the true face of time and space, his brain was filled with endless knowledge. If it weren't for the small bronze bell that chimed and eliminated most of this knowledge for him, I'm afraid
He is now insane and cannot be seriously injured.
Although the bell cleared away countless knowledge related to time and space in order to appease Li Mu's brain, it was not completely eliminated after all, and there was still some knowledge remaining in Li Mu's mind.
But even if there is a little residue, it is already a big deal. After being understood by Li Mu, when he looks at the void, he feels completely different from the feeling when he looked at the void before.
Just like a mouse crossing a river, when everyone is a mouse, they naturally have to swim across it. But one day, a mouse suddenly turns into a bat with an extra pair of wings. Then the bat's vision, way of thinking, and how to see things
The angle is different from that of ordinary mice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
With wings on your body, why not fly by?
This is what bats think!
And now, Li Mu is this bat.
He suddenly had a little understanding of the way of space. After focusing his eyes, he seemed to be able to find the weak points of the space. Through these weak points, he could see where he wanted to go at a glance.
In this case, why not take a step forward?
So he naturally broke through the weak points in the space and came to where he wanted to set foot.
At this time, it was only after he stabilized his body in the courtyard that he realized: "I can actually break through the void!"
Although the distance from Wanhua Building to the small courtyard is only a few miles, even a master of escape can fly so far in the blink of an eye, even shorter than the time it took Li Mu.
But the art of escape and the way of space are completely different in nature. This is the difference between a match and a rocket.
The way of space is the great magical power. If you practice it to the highest level, there is no limit to it. If it coincides with time, it is the way of time and space.
Li Mu suspected that the small bronze bell in his mind was the product of time and space. Otherwise, he would not have been able to take Li Mu through time and space so easily, or even cross the barrier between the two realms.
"When I improve my cultivation, I must take a look at the true face of this little bell!"
His family's nine-turn Yuan Gong is not trivial, and although the Great Way of Time and Space is very remarkable, Li Mu's foundation is still the family's inherited magic, and other techniques are just side branches.
"Sleep!"
He had learned the basics of this space method, and he was excited, but not happy enough to fall asleep. It was already late at night, and he had another fight with Ba Junming in Wanhua Tower, killing someone, and now he felt relaxed.
While trying to sleep.
So I returned to the bedroom and fell asleep.
Just when he fell asleep, the light in Yunzhou City flickered, and figures appeared in front of the Wanhua Tower. There were monks and Taoists, scholars and women. After appearing, they all looked towards the people standing in front of the Wanhua Tower.
Hu Jiuyang.
A middle-aged head catcher in red clothes and black boots separated the crowd and came to Hu Jiuyang with a single sword in his hand. He looked at the torn and still burning body of Ba Junming on the ground, frowned and said: "Brother Hu, what is going on here?"
?"
Hu Jiuyang smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Xing, this matter is very simple to say. It was Ba Junming from Langming Mountain who came to my Wanhua Building to cause trouble and angered a guest in the building. The guest took out Ba Junming's half-day stove.
Breaking it into pieces, the fire ignited Ba Junming's head, thus burning him to death."
Xing Captou said: "Since it was burned to death, why was the body torn apart?"
Hu Jiuyang said: "The guest had a bad temper and was disgusted by Ba Junming's wanton wounding of others, so he shot the burning Ba Junming and beat him to pieces."
Xing Baotou stared into Hu Jiuyang's eyes and remained silent.
Hu Jiuyang smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Xing, what's that look in your eyes? This is absolutely true, how can I lie?"
Xing Captou sighed: "In that case, do you know where the guest is from and who his last name is?"
Hu Jiuyang said: "That senior didn't say three words to me in total. Before I had time to ask him his name, he broke through the space and disappeared. I have no way of knowing his origins!"
"What nonsense!"
"Nonsense!"
"Nonsense!"
"Wrongful behavior!"
The monks nearby were furious when they heard this and cursed Hu Jiuyang:
"Breaking space? How powerful is that? How can such senior masters be angry with young monks like us? Even if he has murderous intentions, he can kill Ba Junming with just one thought, so why bother?"<
/p>
"Can Ba Junming's last words before his death be false? Why didn't he say that we killed him, why did he insist on saying that you killed him?"
"I knew that this monster dog in Wanhua Tower would never change its habit of eating shit, and would hurt people sooner or later. Today it really came true!"
"Master Zhou said that humans and demons can govern together. Humans and demons are enemies. How can they govern together? Who can live in peace with food? Although the old master is upright, he is too naive!"
These monks looked at Hu Jiuyang, and they were all filled with righteous indignation: "Ba Junming of Langming Mountain is also a monk in the foundation period after all. He is here, how can Langming Mountain be willing to give up? Hu Jiuyang, one person is responsible for his work. If you kill Ba Junming, what will happen to Langming Mountain in the future?"
When a master comes to you, you have to take over!"
Hu Jiuyang said angrily: "If I killed him, I would naturally admit that he was not the one who killed him. Why should I hold him accountable? Damn it, Hu has always acted in an upright manner. Even if he is to be killed, he must be killed in an upright manner!"
Why should I hide it?"
No matter how he defended himself, a group of monks just didn't believe him.
Hu Jiuyang became angry, took out a long sword, and said with a fierce look: "Whoever dares to make noise again, I will chop off his head!"
The monks knew that he was powerful and were shocked when they saw him angry, and their voices suddenly became much quieter.
But some people still shouted: "Hu Laojiu, you use your power to suppress others, how can you be a hero? Even if you kill us, you can't stop the monks all over the world from talking!"
Xing Baotou also said: "Brother Hu, since this happened in front of Wanhua Tower, and you are the one who witnessed it, this kind of murder case is related to the monk sect, and it will cause a big disturbance if not done well. You still
Come with me to the Yamen and explain it to Mr. Fu Zun."
Hu Jiuyang was helpless: "Okay, I'll go see Master Zhou right now. These bullshit monks don't care about production, they only create rumors and cause trouble. They are more hateful than monsters and monsters!"
Xing Captou said: "Without them, demons and ghosts would hurt people more."
Hu Jiuyang snorted and followed Mr. Xing to the Yamen.
A group of monks nearby were indignant: "Master Zhou should not have allowed monsters to enter the city! Once they enter the city and have registered as human beings, we cannot kill them casually. In the future, if we want to find good skins to use as mattresses and release monster blood to make elixirs, it will be really troublesome!"
”
"That's right, that's right! How can these evil-minded people get naturalized in a fair and just manner? They are all human beings, so what are we? Are we monsters? Today Ba Junming was killed by Hu Jiu, and tomorrow
It could be you or me who die!"
Since Master Zhou took office in Yunzhou Prefecture, he has reformed the bad government, improved people's livelihood, made friends with demon cultivators, allowed demon cultivators to enter the city, and awarded them the status of great demons in disguise, so that they can work in Yunzhou Prefecture to earn money and support their families.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At the same time, monks are strictly prohibited from hunting goblins for no reason, and goblins are strictly prohibited from hurting people without reason. Therefore, the relationship between humans and demons has been greatly eased in recent years, and the number of people outside the city being eaten by monsters has also been greatly reduced.
It's just that the human race and the demon race have been fighting each other for countless years, and have long since formed a feud. Even though Master Zhou has repeatedly resolved the conflicts between the two races, he can't eliminate this hatred that is engraved in the bones.
This kind of hatred will not be reversed by Master Zhou alone, not to mention that it also involves huge spiritual benefits.
Without the demon elixir to refine medicine, the demon skin to make clothes, and the demon flesh and blood to feed on, some monks cannot improve their cultivation. This is why they are most opposed to Master Zhou's political philosophy.
Ba Junming died in front of Wanhua Tower today. Even if it wasn't Hu Jiuyang who killed him, they would still think that Hu Jiuyang was the murderer. Only in this way can they break Zhou Fuzi's concept of coexistence of humans and monsters.
As for the life and death of ordinary people after the human race and demon race resume their killings, they will naturally not take it seriously.
Anyway, most of the people in the practice are children of aristocratic families. Children of aristocratic families have laid the foundation of practice since childhood, so naturally they cannot die at the hands of ordinary monsters.
Occasionally, a family member is killed by a big demon, which is inevitable. Anyway, there are many children in the family, so it doesn’t matter how many of them die.
Let us say that after Hu Jiuyang and Xing Captou arrived at the government office, the government official Zhou Daoquan personally interrogated him and finally said: "Jiuyang, who killed Na Ba Junming, just wait until I call his soul!"
Immediately, he ordered Chief Xing: "Go and call all the monks outside who are stretching their necks to watch the excitement, and watch this case being interrogated by our government!"
Mr. Xing did not dare to neglect, and when he came outside the yamen, he saw a group of monks floating on the wall of the yamen, stretching their necks to look inside. He immediately cursed: "A bunch of dogs! This is the important place of the yamen, how can you peek indiscriminately? Don't you dare to mess around again?"
Look, I dug out your eyes!"
A group of monks chatted to the ground: "The monster hurts people, and the disaster is not small. We are only concerned about Master Zhou's safety, and we do not intend to peek."
Xing Captou shouted: "Master Fu Zun said, don't you want the truth about this matter? He will arrest Ba Junming's soul now and question it in public. Naturally, he can ask clearly! You can just be a witness!"
p>
A group of monks looked at each other for a few times, and saw each other's expressions of shock.
No one thought that Master Zhou actually had the magical power to arrest ghosts.
After a while, Zhou Daoquan walked out of the gate of the government office, holding a bamboo whip in his hand, and glanced at the monks outside: "Follow me!"
He brought everyone to the Wanhua Tower. At this time, Ba Junming's body was almost completely burned, and only one leg was still burning, like a human leg candle, flickering brightly and dimly in the night.
This fire was not an ordinary fire, but the Three Yang True Fire. It was very domineering. The two gangsters did not dare to touch the true fire for fear of being set on fire, so they could only squat on one side and wait for the true fire to completely burn Ba Junming's body.
Burn it, and it will be extinguished when the time comes, so they can collect the ashes, which can also be regarded as a piece of evidence.
Seeing Zhou Daoquan coming, the two men hurriedly saluted: "Sir!"
Zhou Daoquan waved his hand, came to the burning human leg, waved his palm gently, and a cloud of mist suddenly appeared in the void, covering the human leg.
Poof!
After the mist came into contact with the real fire on the person's leg, it was evaporated on the spot by the real fire, but the real fire was also extinguished.
"Three Yin True Water!"
The monks who were watching were all surprised: "Master, with a casual swipe, he pulled out the three yin true water from the void and extinguished the three yang true fire. This cultivation is really shocking and terrifying!"
Just now, many monks wanted to extinguish this true fire, but failed without exception. Only when they saw Zhou Daoquan take action did they realize the gap between themselves and Master Zhou.
After Zhou Daoquan put out the real fire, he suddenly raised his foot and stomped on the ground: "Ba Junming! You haven't shown up yet!"
Boom!
When he stepped down, it seemed that the entire Yunzhou Prefecture was shaking. Even the City God's Temple in Yunzhou Prefecture was shaking, and several tiles fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
The City God of Yunzhou Prefecture was startled and looked around: "What happened? Why did Master Zhou do what he did?"
He didn't dare to delay and said: "Get the car ready and go see what's going on."
After a while, the carriage and horses were ready, and the city god got on the carriage: "Let's go!"
The carriage turned into a streak of fire and landed in front of Wanhua Tower in an instant.
The city god opened the curtain and saw a whirlwind suddenly appearing in front of Zhou Daofan. After spinning for a moment, it turned into a shadow. It was exactly the shape of Ba Junming. He cried out: "I died so miserably!"
p>
Zhou Daoquan shouted: "Ba Junming, who killed you?"
Ba Junming looked at Hu Jiuyang: "The ninth son of the Hu family knows!"
Hu Jiuyang said: "Fart! How do I know?"
Ba Junming said: "You and he attack me together, you are in the same group!"
Before Hu Jiuyang could defend himself, Zhou Daoquan waved his hand and said: "Ba Junming, tell me from beginning to end, what is going on?"
Ba Junming's figure couldn't help but twist, and said: "Sir, there is wind! I am about to be blown away by the wind!"
Zhou Daoquan knows that the souls of newly deceased people are afraid of being blown by the wind. Whenever the wind moves, it will be like thousands of arrows piercing the heart, causing unspeakable pain.
Then he turned to look at Cheng Huang: "Brother Chen?"
The city god nodded and said: "I saved it!"
Then he took out a piece of white jade and the jade gave off a white light, covering Ba Junming's soul and isolating it from the sinister wind that penetrated his bones.
Ba Junming then told Zhou Daoquan the reason why he was killed, and finally said: "Sir, my disciple died in the hands of the monster in Wanhua Tower, and I also died in front of Wanhua Tower. It shows that monsters are difficult to tame and cannot be surrendered. Still.
Please order the boss to kill the demon clan to set the record straight!"
Zhou Daoquan was too lazy to pay attention to the new ghost's nonsense and glanced at the crowd: "The truth has been revealed since then. Let's all disperse."
A monk said: "Sir, since Hu Laojiu did not kill Ba Junming, where are you, the murderer?"
Zhou Daoquan looked at Hu Jiuyang: "Jiuyang, draw that man's face so that I can find out his origins and arrest him."
Hu Jiuyang approached Zhou Daoquan and whispered: "Sir, this is a man with great supernatural powers. If you dare to arrest him, if you anger him, I am afraid that our entire Yunzhou Prefecture will not be enough to slap him."<
/p>
Zhou Daoquan: "It doesn't matter! There is no word "wanted" in this painting, but only an invitation to come and talk to him. I don't think it will anger him."
Hu Jiuyang then drew Li Mu's appearance and handed it to Zhou Daoquan.
On the second day, as soon as Li Mu walked out of the courtyard, he saw a picture posted on the cross street, saying: In front of Wanhua Tower,
Beggars causing trouble.
Kill someone in anger,
Immortal immortal!
There is a portrait of Li Mu painted on it, and next to the portrait it is written: If anyone can see this person, report it to the government as soon as possible, and he will be rewarded heavily.
Li Mu's eyes widened: "Am I... wanted? Wait, when did I become an immortal?"
