Zhao Mu looked around and found a blind old beggar under the corner not far away, so he walked over.
Bang!
He threw two copper coins into the bowl.
"Thank you so much, sir, and wish you a long life."
The old beggar scratched his hair, which was as messy as a chicken coop, and said perfunctorily without raising his head.
Living a long life is not a good thing to me.
Zhao Mu shook his head, took out a few pieces of broken silver, and touched the blind old beggar's ear.
"I have something to ask you, and if you answer it, these are all yours."
"Hey, sir, if you ask, the old man will tell you everything he knows."
"Tell me what happened to the Zheng family?"
"Your Excellency, you just came to the capital, right?"
"How to say?"
"Hey, everyone who has lived in the capital for a while knows what happened to the Zheng family. After all, it has only been three months."
The old beggar's laughter was a bit weird: "At night three months ago, a humanoid monster with green feathers all over its body suddenly broke into Zheng's mansion and killed all the people in the mansion, leaving no one alive."
"Monster?" Zhao Mu was shocked: "Where did the monster come from in the Jin Dynasty?"
"I don't know, no one knows the origin of that monster, and no one has seen any trace of it since. It seems like it came just to kill the entire Zheng family."
"What happened later? Did the imperial court send someone to investigate?"
"Naturally, after the incident, the imperial court sent heavy troops to blockade the Zheng Mansion to investigate, but unfortunately nothing was found. The Zheng family members all died in vain."
"And because they were killed by monsters, the court was afraid of corpse transformation, so they burned all the corpses of the Zheng family."
"The last pile of ashes could not be distinguished as to whose ashes belonged, so the imperial court simply buried them together outside the city and built a large tomb for the Zheng family. Now that no one is taking care of them, they will probably be left in ruins long ago."
Is it really a monster?
Zhao Mu couldn't believe it.
Since there are immortal cultivators in this world, there are naturally monsters as well.
But the problem is that immortality has long since declined in the Jin Dynasty, and legends about monsters have not been seen in history for thousands of years.
Why do monsters suddenly appear in the capital today?
Is that a real monster?
Or did the Zheng family offend someone, and they dressed up as monsters to kill people and silence them?
This thing... is so weird!
Zhao Mu threw the broken silver to the old beggar, walked around the house, checked the surroundings, and found nothing.
So he jumped into the yard again to check.
He soon discovered that the yard was not simply deserted.
Under the countless weeds, there are traces of cleaning everywhere, as if someone is deliberately covering up something?
Sure enough, what happened three months ago was not simple.
Zhao Mu sat down cross-legged, centered on himself, and released a large amount of Sravaka Gu.
After fifty years of cultivation, the Sravaka Gu has now reached a high level and can cover an area of more than ten miles.
In addition, when he rejuvenated three months ago, the mother Gu of the Sravaka Gu was always carried by Zhao Mu.
At that time, the petals of the Samsara Dao Fruit fell and turned into infinite vitality that enveloped Zhao Mu's body. Naturally, the Sravaka Gu was also affected.
Afterwards, Zhao Mu discovered that the Shravaka Gu had actually developed some spirituality and could communicate with his own mind.
Now that he can control the Sravaka Gu, he no longer needs to knock on the Gu nest.
As long as his heart moves, he can make the Sravaka Gu act according to his wishes.
Not only that, the detection ability of Shravaka Gu is no longer limited to sounds.
Air flow, temperature changes, light and dark, smell differences...
Even the vitality of vegetation and animals, as well as some obscure and weird energy.
Through the Sound Hearing Gu, Zhao Mu could faintly sense it, which was very mysterious.
He estimated that the Shravaka Gu would not be too far away from truly becoming a spirit.
Zhao Mu closed his eyes and controlled the Sravaka Gu to inspect every inch of the house, not sparing any corner of the house.
"Found it."
Suddenly he jumped up, quickly came to a pavilion, and picked up a stone from the ground.
Suddenly, in the mud stuck under the stone, there was a badly damaged green feather.
Obviously, the person who was responsible for cleaning the house did not completely clean it up.
There was a strange, violent, and cold aura faintly exuding from the feathers.
Could this be the feather left by the monster?
And the breath on the feathers, is it the evil spirit?
What's even weirder is that at this moment, Zhao Mu felt an excitement from the Sravaka Gu.
It seems that Sravaka Gu is very interested in the evil spirit on feathers.
Just when Zhao Mu was about to explore further, Sravaka Gu suddenly felt another wave of the same evil spirit.
But this time it was not inside the house, but on someone outside the house.
"How could it be him?"
Zhao Mu was a little surprised, so he immediately left the hospital and found the blind old beggar again.
He grabbed the old beggar's wrist and took his pulse, and at the same time injected his true energy into his body to check.
Soon he discovered that the old beggar's internal organs were entangled with the power that seemed to be evil.
If suppression is not carried out, the old beggar may not have a few days to live.
"My lord, what are you doing?" The old beggar wanted to run away.
But Zhao Mu grabbed him tightly: "Who are you? How come you have the power of that monster in your body? Are you also a member of the Zheng family?"
"No, the old man doesn't understand what the noble man is talking about."
"There's no point in denying it. Let me see who you really are?"
Zhao Mu forced the old beggar's hair away, but what he saw was a face that was burned and disfigured, making it impossible to recognize it.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly opened the old beggar's sleeves, and saw a peach-shaped birthmark on his arm.
"As expected, it's you, Zheng Jingren, and you're not dead?"
Zhao Mu was overjoyed.
"Who are you anyway?"
Zheng Jingren's voice was very nervous.
"My name is Zhao Jinyan, and I am Zhao Mu's grandnephew."
"impossible!"
"Nothing is impossible, don't worry, wait until I cure your eyes and you will believe it when you see it for yourself."
After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he used his true energy to form sharp needles and pierced the meridian points of the opponent's eyes.
Zheng Jingren's blindness was also caused by the demonic energy in his body. As long as he suppressed the demonic energy with his innate true energy, his eyesight would naturally be restored.
As the true energy continued to be injected, Zheng Jingren's eyes gradually became brighter.
He raised his head and saw a familiar face.
"It's so similar. I didn't expect that I would be able to see my old friend in my lifetime. Where is Lao Zhao? He didn't go back to Beijing with you?"
"My great-uncle has passed away."
"Hey, we are all old, and we will eventually reach this day."
Zheng Jingren sighed deeply.
Zhao Mu asked: "Tell me, what happened three months ago? Did a monster really appear that day?"
Zheng Jingren shook his head: "No, that's a human being. He was just affected by some evil force and his body changed. And if that person told me, you wouldn't believe it."
"who is he?"
"Queen! She is the queen sitting in the palace."
"It's actually her?"
Zhao Mu was surprised.
"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."
Zheng Jingren smiled bitterly: "Your name is Zhao Jinyan, right? Jinyan, have you heard the rumor that His Majesty used the Queen's special physique to extend his life?"
