Let you test the disciple!Not cleaning the door!

On the contrary, the servants of the Anfu were a bit miserable, a disaster that was completely innocent.

This is the rule of the mundane world today, the rule under the rule of the imperial power, Xiao Zizhu, a cultivator of immortals, would not say anything about this rule.

Xiao Zizhu made a conclusion, and there was a pity in his words.

After all, based on the evidence currently in hand, it seems far-fetched to kill the emperor directly.

The matter about An Yuan can be big or small, if he doesn't pursue it, it's the emperor's generosity, and if he steals all his family, he can't blame anyone.

"Will there be any traces left?"

"This... I didn't pay much attention to this aspect, but simply cleared up the traces. I guess there is nothing wrong with hiding the truth from the Nascent Soul stage. If the monks above the Nascent Soul stage investigate carefully, they should be able to see the traces of these people. traces of it."

Xiao Zizhu seemed a little hesitant. During the investigation, she really didn't think about covering up the traces.

"Speaking of Zizhu, what method did you use to investigate these people?"

Li Mu suddenly mentioned this, and Xiao Zizhu also explained it.

"A very simple little spell directly confuses their minds. Afterwards, if you directly ask them, they will know everything."

"I was actually thinking that we didn't find any surprises and anomalies from beginning to end, and this happened to be the biggest anomaly."

"Master is suspicious, is this not an accident?"

After understanding what Li Mu said, Xiao Zizhu asked.

After all, in this mortal dynasty, the Golden Core Stage is very rare, let alone the Nascent Soul.

It stands to reason that the traces she left will not be discovered by anyone, and it doesn't matter if they are discovered.

Others can only find out that these commanders have been used by spells, and they can't even see any spells.

"You know, this is an accident that happened to mortals, and the words and deeds of mortals can be easily manipulated. Even after manipulation, all traces can be erased."

Li Mu's words made the atmosphere in the room heavy, and An Hongfu seemed to have thought of something.

"If according to what Master said, my father was unwilling to leave, and he was extremely loyal when he said that to me, and it is very likely that he was manipulated by someone?"

Li Mu nodded and replied.

"That's right, although it seems that all of this is an accident, a logical, reasonable accident that happened among mortals, but the more it is like this, the more I feel that something is wrong."

"Everything is too coincidental. The coincidence seems to be well-designed. Even our arrival and investigation have been calculated by the other party."

"Then your sister spoke up and let you dispel your idea."

Li Mu opened his mouth and said what An Hongfu wanted to say, which also brought the girl back to her senses.

Yes, that's right, it's my sister. Why would my sister say that? It's not like what she would say at all!

"Yes, your father seems to be normal in words and deeds, but there is something very strange. Why did he let his wife and children be buried with him if he wanted to do his best? He can obviously ask you to let his wife and children die together. Send it out, and he stays alone to do his allegiance."

"Yes... This is really abnormal. My father is a family-oriented person, and my aunt cried and begged him like that. I was going to say that, and then..."

An Hongfu recalled this, and then frowned, not only his father, but even himself, became strange when he was in the tomb.

It's not that he made up his mind not to take An Yuan out, but An Yuan's words and actions made him think that he shouldn't take the other party out.

It's unreasonable for a mortal to talk to himself, and let the Jindanqi monk think that what he said is right, I can't do this.

How could the words and deeds of a mortal affect the thoughts of Jindanqi monks?

"It's not just you, I suspect that I was also affected by some inexplicable force."

Li Mu said with a wry smile. He is a cultivator at the golden core period, and he didn't even notice the strangeness in the tomb.

The atmosphere in the tomb, what An Yuan said, and the attitude An Yuan expressed.

Li Mu's words made the girls fall into silence, while Xiao Zizhu acted like he had been reminded.

Indeed, it was nothing more than the power of heaven from the lower realms. There are still many ways to interfere, and she can even name several of them now.

"This person is very thoughtful. Obviously, he has been carrying out this plan for a long time. No wonder he didn't directly and simply deal with Anyuan's family and keep their lives, just to serve as hostages."

"This is someone plotting against the entire Xuanying Dynasty... Isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment for playing with the ordinary government like this?"

Xiao Zizhu frowned, while Li Mu shook his head.

"The way of heaven is not omnipotent. The rules of the way of heaven can also be circumvented. Maybe there are some means we don't know that can avoid the punishment of the way of heaven."

"Father……"

An Hongfu showed a worried expression, while Wenren Qingya patted her on the shoulder to comfort her in this way.

"Well, speaking of which, do you want to listen to my investigation?"

"It seems that he doesn't want to have a direct conflict with us, he just wants to send us away as soon as possible. I don't know if it's because the plan has reached the most critical point, or because we are not as strong as us."

Li Mu said so, and then Xiao Zizhu spoke in a cold voice, but he looked down on the guy hiding behind the scenes.

"Of course it's because of your lack of strength, otherwise you wouldn't have kept hostages on purpose. It's just a young man hiding in the mundane dynasty and making trouble!"

"I don't know if it's important or not. I investigated a lot of people, such as the general banner, small banners, and ordinary feather guards. I asked them all. About the old emperor, it was the same as what Senior Sister Xiao said before." In addition, I also found a very strange thing."

Bai Yun scratched her head and said so slowly.

"These feather guards have been collecting birds since a long time ago. In the past, they were about two or three times a year, and then they were sent to a certain house in Xuanying City. I didn't care at first, I just thought it was a bird. I was keeping pet birds. But later, they collected birds more and more frequently, and they didn’t care whether the birds were dead or alive. It’s understandable to want live birds, but why do you need so many dead birds?”

Bai Yun spoke weakly from the side, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"Bai Yun, did you find any other important information, tell me?"

Li Mu cheered up too, looked at Bai Yun and asked.

"Phoenix? What Phoenix?"

The rest of the girls were slightly taken aback, and Li Mu also explained the fact that An Hongfu had the blood of the Phoenix.

"The phoenix is ​​an auspicious beast, the king of birds. They have collected the blood of birds for so many years. Although I don't know what they are doing, it is definitely doing some kind of sinister evil."

"Bird...doesn't matter whether it lives or dies?"

Some things seemed to be connected gradually, Li Mu stared at An Hongfu, and then understood something.

"Fenghuang, collecting these birds must be used to deal with Fenghuang."

Bai Yun murmured, she was studying behind Li Mu during this period of time, and she was also very familiar with the knowledge of fortune.

Li Mu gave the girl a look of approval, and then explained.

"It seems that because of Chen Zhao's hard work over the past century, he has accumulated a lot of national fortune for the Xuanying Dynasty, which makes the entire dynasty look stable and prosperous. But such an old emperor and heir, even if the national fortune is stable, the overall The situation should inevitably show aging and decadence, and even collapse halfway."

Li Mu didn't know the way to do this, but Xiao Zizhu quickly realized something, and then spoke with certainty.

"This is fighting against evil! Reversing the auspicious omens of birds turning towards the phoenix, and suppressing the auspicious power of the phoenix with extremely filthy things, the purpose is probably to forcibly combine the fate of the phoenix with the national destiny of the Xuanying Dynasty."

"It's no wonder that Xuanying Dynasty's national destiny looks so strange. It turns out that it is intertwined with Phoenix's fate. Looking at it this way, there is nothing wrong with it."

"As the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones will bear it first. Under the current circumstances, the primary target of heaven's sanction is definitely the phoenix that has been intertwined with the Xuanying Dynasty's national destiny!"

The cause and effect of the incident became clearer, and An Hongfu was also a little lost.

She thought of one thing, could this Phoenix be her mother?

"However, the Xuanying Dynasty's national destiny is not like this. It is stable and full of vitality at the same time, without the slightest sign of twilight. Now that the puzzle has been solved, this part of the destiny belongs to the Phoenix. Phoenix Nirvana, immortality, other Naturally, there is no decline in the fortune."

"But combining the fate of the Phoenix with the fortune of the Xuanying Dynasty, is there any special significance in doing so?"

An Hongfu and Wenren Qingya were still a little confused, while Li Mu gave a very vivid metaphor.

"Really, Senior Sister Xiao?"

"Will I still lie to you?"

Xiao Zizhu smiled softly, and then asked Bai Yun beside him.

When she thought of her mother with the blood of the phoenix being imprisoned in an unknown place and suffering from the evil method concocted with the blood of birds, the girl felt extremely heartbroken.

He even said that there are still heavenly sanctions that may fall at any time, and the target is also his mother.

"Don't worry too much, the method of charging evil can be deciphered. If the imprisoned Phoenix can be found, there may still be a possibility to separate the fate of the other party from the Xuanying Dynasty!"

"That's no problem. Phoenix is ​​an auspicious beast in the world. How can it be so easy to completely suppress her power? They are still collecting the blood of birds, which means there is still room for redemption!"

"Let's go to that mansion to find out tonight, and see if we can find any clues related to your mother. Let's also take a look at what the guy behind the scenes has prepared."

When Bai Yun replied, Xiao Zizhu also nodded.

"Bai Yun, how long ago was the last time they collected birds?"

"It didn't take long, about ten days or so."

Li Mu made a final decision, Xiao Zizhu also waved his hand, with invincibility written all over his face.

"It's just a guy who pretends to be a ghost in the human dynasty and hides and dare not show his face. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Chapter 77 The real purpose behind the scenes

Time passed bit by bit, the night became darker and darker, and the bustling Xuanying City gradually became quieter.

On the first floor of the inn, all the guests have already left, and the waiter in the store is packing up the tables, chairs and benches.

And the old storyteller who had been talking all night was huddled in front of the counter, arguing with the shopkeeper about something.

The two quarreled for a long time, and finally reached a consensus. Seeing the silver tael given to him by the shopkeeper, the old gentleman yawned sleepily, then got up and left.

Before leaving, he made a jug of turbid wine and hummed a ditty while holding the jug. The old man looked particularly at ease on the way home.

"This young man, who are you, do we know each other?"

The one standing in front of him was naturally Li Mu.

I saw Li Mu looking the old man up and down, and then he spoke with a half-smile.

As he was walking, suddenly a hand was pressed on his shoulder from behind, the force from the palm was so strong that it easily made him unable to move.

"Aiyo, aiyo, who, take it easy, my old bones can't stand this kind of torture."

The old man turned his head, looked at the young man standing behind him with some doubts, and spoke with a puzzled expression.

"This... this... a friend in the Jianghu, the little old man and him are actually just a one-sided relationship. The young people calm down, the big deal is that the little old man will stop talking nonsense in the future, okay?"

Li Mu suddenly smiled coldly, looked at the old man in front of him pretending to be pitiful, but leaned in front of him, and spoke every word.

"Is this friend you mentioned really yourself?"

"Is it the tenth elder of the Yaori Immortal Sect that you slandered, saying that he is cruel, cruel and ruthless, and that he is a natural born devil?"

"Little old man, how dare you slander the immortal at will. I heard this from my friends. Hearsay! Hearsay!"

"Oh, which friend is it, can you introduce me?"

Li Mu showed a look that was as expected, and at the same time, the ghost in front of him also attacked him fiercely.

The scimitar-like sharp claws slammed towards Li Mu's face, but there was a sound of gold and iron colliding in the air.

The golden light rippling gently around Li Mu's body, this is the barrier formed by the condensed power of the earth spirit, the weight of the rock is so reassuring no matter what.

While speaking, Li Mu's palm gathered surging aura, and then he slapped down on the old man in front of him fiercely.

The pleading expression on the latter's face immediately became fierce, black air burst out all over his body, and his benign face also turned green with fangs.

"Ghost, sure enough..."

Yin ghosts are puppets made from the souls of living people. They are almost the same as ordinary living people. It is extremely difficult to detect abnormalities. Many demon cultivators like to use ghosts to spy on information.

"I thought Master was just being narrow-minded, but I didn't expect that this storyteller really has a problem."

Looking at the ashes on the ground, Bai Yun looked amazed, and then she was hit on the head by Li Mu.

Before Yin Gui could raise another paw, a purple thunderbolt struck in the air, turning it into ashes.

Such evil things are most afraid of the method of thunder.

Xiao Zizhu and his daughters fell down, looking surprised at the ashes on the ground.

"Speaking of which, how did Master know that there is something wrong with this guy?"

"It's very simple. It's only been a month. It's impossible for what happened to Yaori Xianzong to spread so fast. Things in the cultivation world spread very slowly. You must know that there are still people rushing to Sunset Town, thinking Going to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference."

"Right now, the news that the Yaori Immortal Zong Ascension Conference has ended has not been fully spread, and things related to me have been spread by storytellers in Xuanying City. It is still such a targeted smear, no matter how you think about it, there is a problem .”

"Your master, can I be such a stingy person?"

"Of course not. Master's ingenious calculations have seen through this guy's disguise at a glance! I admire you!"
