"Where is the Taoist priest now?" the middle-aged man asked.
"this……"
Liu Mian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't even know where he is."
The middle-aged man frowned, he was from the Xuanjing Division.
Yesterday, I received an order from the Emperor to sort out all the information on incidents that occurred in the Jin Dynasty in recent years and were suspected of being haunted by demons. Today, I sent it to the Jiaofang Division and handed it over to the outer deacon from the Ziwei Taoist Sect.
According to the usual practice, the secret agents of the Xuanjing Division lurking in the Jiaofang Division need to find out the situation of some guests with special behavior every day.
At least you need to know when those guests came and left, who they came into contact with, and if they stayed overnight, which girl's room they stayed in, etc.
Therefore, the middle-aged man originally thought that he would be able to find the outer deacon just by coming to the Jiaofang Department today and asking.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mian, the secret agent, had no idea where he was.
"Liu Mian, you have neglected your duty."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Liu Mian was frightened: "My lord, please forgive me. I will go find him right away."
"How to find him? Knock on the doors of each house to see which lady's room he lives in?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "I think you want to be skinned alive by those dignitaries who stay in the Jiaofang Division, and you want to die without hurting me."
"It's because the official didn't think carefully."
Liu Mian said helplessly: "It's a pity that Madam Lianxin never entertains guests, otherwise we wouldn't have to go to such trouble. He will definitely stay at Madam Lianxin's place."
"Sir, what is the origin of this Taoist priest?"
"He is the outer deacon sent by Ziwei Dao Sect. If he didn't have such a special status, how could I personally come to give him something?"
"He is actually an expert from the Ziwei Taoist sect. No wonder I felt that he was different yesterday."
Just as the two were talking, a hand suddenly stretched out from the floor of the carriage.
With a slight move of his hand, the three boxes disappeared in an instant.
The strange scene made the two people's hair stand on end, and they almost screamed that there was a ghost.
But the next moment, Zhao Mu silently walked across the floor and sat in the carriage.
"The poor Daoist Xuan Chengzi has met the two adults of the Xuanjing Division."
Zhao Mu said with a smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
The way this Taoist priest appeared was really special.
They all really thought that something unclean had entered the carriage.
"The Taoist master's methods are mysterious and wonderful, and the subordinates admire him."
The middle-aged man said: "Today, His Majesty has given an order for the Xuanjing Division to fully cooperate with the Taoist Priest in slaying demons and demons. From now on, if the Taoist Priest has anything to do, just ask, and we will do our best."
"Okay, I know very well the intelligence capabilities of the Xuanjing Division. From now on, I will have to trouble the Xuanjing Division for information about demon incidents in various places."
"Yes, but if something happens to us in the future, how can we contact the Taoist Priest?"
"It's simple. If you have anything to do in the future, just come to the Jiaofang Division, find a random place, and recite my Taoist name."
"As long as you are within the scope of the Jiaofang Division, no matter where you are or how low your voice is, Pindao can hear it."
"Yes, I understand."
The middle-aged man and Liu Mian handed over their hands at the same time. When they raised their heads again, Zhao Mu's figure had disappeared.
Neither of them noticed that there was a white fox on the roof outside the carriage, which had been eavesdropping on their conversation.
And when Zhao Mu left, the white fox also jumped off the roof, got into the grass and disappeared.
…
After Zhao Mu returned to Lingxu Immortal Mansion, he began to check the information in the three boxes.
His speed is very fast, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can move with one glance.
In just one day, he read all the information.
As expected, even if Zhao Mu did not go to the scene, most of the weird demon incidents recorded in it could be judged to be false.
Those things are basically some special natural phenomena, or after someone committed a crime, they transformed the scene into a so-called demon crime in order to escape the crime.
After all, there were too few people in the Jin Dynasty who could cultivate immortality, and even fewer who had seen real demons.
Therefore, those methods of modifying the scene are to deceive ordinary people who have never seen monsters.
For a true immortal cultivator like Zhao Mu, the flaws could be seen almost at a glance, so he immediately threw the information behind him.
In the last three boxes of information, Zhao Mu only left more than twenty pieces of useful information.
Of course, this information cannot be confirmed, it is really the work of demons.
But there are very few flaws in it. Even Zhao Mu has to see the scene to finally determine the authenticity.
"It seems that the Xin Yuanyi Horse Formation can be used again."
Zhao Mu chuckled, stood up and walked into the study.
As his cultivation has improved over the years, he has unlocked more abilities of the Xin Yuanyi Horse Formation.
Now that he uses the formation to transfer his consciousness, it is no longer limited to Ziwei Dao Sect's library, but can also be transferred to other places.
Of course, due to limited cultivation, this distance cannot be too far.
Zhao Mu made a rough estimate. Now that he is in the capital, he should be able to teleport anywhere within the scope of the Jin Dynasty.
Zhao Mu stood in the center of the study and activated the Xin Yuanyi Horse Formation.
Suddenly, he once again felt the wonderful feeling of his consciousness leaving his body, as if he was traveling through a time and space tunnel.
Soon, Zhao Mu's consciousness came to Xiguan City.
This was once the junction of the Jin Dynasty and the Jinlun Kingdom to the west.
Zhao Mu had been here before in order to pursue the demon corpse of the New Chu Emperor, so he felt familiar with everything here.
At this time, the people in Xiguan City had already begun their day's hard work.
No one could notice that an invisible and insubstantial consciousness was passing by them.
Zhao Mu came to an abandoned house.
According to the information sent by the Xuanjing Division, a massacre occurred here three years ago, and all five members of the family were tortured to death.
When the government investigated, they initially thought it was an outsider who committed the crime.
However, after inspecting the scene, the officials were horrified to find that there were no traces of outsiders.
And the wounds on the bodies of the family of five were actually caused by each other.
It was as if some strange force had controlled the minds of a family of five, causing them to brutally kill the people closest to them overnight.
What’s even weirder is that supposedly such a cruel method would make a family of five scream in agony.
But that night, the neighbors didn't hear any movement, as if a family of five were killing each other without feeling the pain at all.
This incident caused quite a storm in Xiguan City three years ago.
Many people said that the family of five had been killed by something unclean in the middle of the night.
Zhao Mu controlled his consciousness and slowly floated into the abandoned house. Suddenly, he faintly felt the residue of some strange power in this house.
That kind of power cannot be possessed by ordinary people.
"It seems that the family of five died under strange circumstances." Zhao Mu thought to himself.
