Chapter 717: Ancient Sculpture

Xiao Mu was pleasantly surprised by the progress of the Tomb of the Three Emperors. At the same time, it also let him know a lot of information that he didn't know before.

First of all, the main activity area of ​​the Five Elements Sect was originally in the Tomb of the Three Emperors, and secondly, during the Great War of the Ancients, Lord Baifu's enemies turned out to be the Five Elements Patriarch of the Five Elements Sect.

The strength of Lord Baifu is even stronger than I imagined. He is also a righteous god, but Lord Baifu can suppress the immortal gods, the ancestors of the curse, the ancestors of the five elements, and the gods of the five virtues. His strength is far stronger than ordinary righteous gods. powerful.

So this message further strengthened Xiao Mu's plan to find Mr. Baifu.

Finding Lord Baifu will not only be able to deal with the powerful righteous gods who entered the world from heaven, but also help Xiao Mu obtain the other half of Yan Luoling, obtain the complete authority of the righteous gods, and become the ruler of the palace.

I returned a message from Lu Liangping, expressing my gratitude and encouragement. On the one hand, I thanked the other party for valuing the task I entrusted to me. On the other hand, I also expressed that as long as the tomb of the Three Emperors can find the whereabouts of Mr. Baifu, I will never hesitate to thank you again. of.

Putting away the phone, Xiao Mu went to the mission team.

Habitually, Xiao Mu went to the mission group. The current mission group is temporarily managed by Feng Rensong because of Wu Yan's retreat.

Xiao Mu's arrival naturally surprised Feng Rensong and received him warmly.

After the two of them sat down and greeted each other politely, Xiao Mu began to ask what tasks were in the recent task group, and if there was anything that needed his help.

Feng Rensong was amazed that Xiao Mu was willing to return to the mission team to help after he stepped into the Divine Spirit Realm. After thinking about it, he said, "Brother Xiao, I am very grateful for your willingness to help. It happened that we encountered an incident and planned to send someone to Go investigate."

"If Brother Xiao doesn't mind that this task is too easy for you, you might as well go and have a look."

Xiao Mu naturally wouldn't mind, he went to the task group to help, in addition to the responsibilities he should bear as a member of the Datang Ruins, one of the most important reasons is to find the real mutants outside the sky, and kill them to gain energy Points, upgrade the seal of the emperor of heaven and the decree, and the cheat book "Various Magic Ability" that will be available immediately.

※※※

Five minutes later, Xiao Mu came out of the task group, left the Datang ruins, and walked directly to Guluodu.

"A portrait craftsman is missing, Yuan Wei, Yuan Wei, isn't that the craftsman who replaced He Qingjun for the statue of the five virtues?"

Xiao Mu muttered to himself, but his steps were not too slow. After leaving the Tang Dynasty ruins, he started his escapism and fled towards the home of the craftsman Yuan Wei.

As the world becomes more and more mutated, Gu Luodu is also getting bigger and bigger, but even so, for Xiao Mu who is proficient in the five elements escape technique, it is not too difficult to reach the home of the craftsman Yuan Wei .

Half an hour later, Xiao Mu reached out and knocked on the door of a newly built courtyard that took up an area of ​​at least 1,000 square meters.

Tuk tuk tuk!

Not long after, footsteps sounded from behind the door, and the next moment, the door was opened, and a man in simple casual clothes appeared behind the door.

This man looks to be in his thirties, and his appearance gives people a simple and honest feeling. After taking a closer look at Xiao Mu, he asked curiously, "Who are you?"

"Are you Mr. Yuan Wei's eldest son, Yuan Lin? My surname is Xiao, and I was sent by the ruins to investigate Mr. Yuan's disappearance."

Xiao Mu introduced himself, and took a look at Yuan Lin by the way.

This is an ordinary person with no mutations, but the aura on his body is a bit strange. Xiao Mu carefully identified it and found that it was an ancient aura, as if it had experienced tens of thousands of years.

Is it the blood that was passed down from ancient times?

Xiao Mu couldn't help being suspicious in his heart, but he didn't think too much about this issue. There are too many bloodlines left by the ancients, but the ancient aura hidden in Yuan Lin's body can be passed down. s reason.

But this is not what Xiao Mu wants to know.

"Mr. Xiao sent by the ruins? Please come in, please come in!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wei's son Yuan Lin hurriedly and enthusiastically opened the door, and let Xiao Mu go home.

"Thanks!"

Xiao Mu thanked him and stepped into the door.

"Wow woof!"

In the yard, there was suddenly a deafening barking sound, which was so loud that it irritated people's eardrums, just like the sound of a giant beast.

Then there was the sound of the iron chain being tightened.

"Da Wang, don't bark!"

Yuan Lin scolded angrily, looked to the left side of the yard with a sullen face, and said: "This is Mr. Xiao from the ruins, if you call again, I will stew you tonight."

Xiao Mu's gaze had already turned to the left side of the yard, and at a glance he saw a big yellow dog bigger than a cow, chained to a giant steel pillar by a mutated iron chain thicker than his wrist. Seeing Xiao Mu, he immediately Tighten and straighten the mutated big iron chain, and yelled at Xiao Mu.

Woohoo!

The big yellow dog, Da Wang, was drunk by Yuan Lin, and immediately lowered his head in a very humane way, shrank back and lay down on the ground, and stopped barking.

"Mr. Xiao, please don't be surprised. Da Wang is a dog raised by my father. He was already human. After the mutation, he became more willful. We all suspect that this dog can understand human speech."

"Aww!"

Da Wang suddenly raised his head to exchange with Yuan Lin, his voice showed obvious dissatisfaction.

"Look, this dog really understands human speech, right? It doesn't like being scolded."

Yuan Lin said with a smile, but his expression revealed a bit of pride.

Xiao Mu just smiled and said nothing. After the world mutated, many animals and plants mutated, and some even turned into human forms. The degree of mutation like Yuan Lin's family Wang is really nothing.

"Mr. Yuan, can you tell me how your father disappeared?" Xiao Mu brought the topic to the point.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao, do you want to go in and have a cup of tea, and talk while drinking tea?" Yuan Lin agreed, and at the same time extended an invitation to Xiao Mu.

"No, just say it here. I came here to investigate the reason why Mr. Yuan disappeared, not to drink tea." Xiao Mu refused with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao."

Yuan Lin agreed, with a more respectful attitude, "My father disappeared five days ago."

"Five days ago, a man suddenly came to my house, claiming to be Mr. Shang..."

"Shang?" Xiao Mu couldn't help interrupting Yuan Lin's words.

Yuan Lin hurriedly added, "Shang of the Shang Dynasty."

Xiao Mu asked, "Do you know his name?"

Yuan Lin shook his head, "That Mr. Shang didn't say anything, he only said that his surname is Shang."

"Oh!" Xiao Mu was a little disappointed, "Why did he ask Mr. Yuan?"

Yuan Lin said: "That Mr. Shang came to my father and said that he wanted to ask him to help make a statue."

Shape?

Xiao Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Yuan Lin can be regarded as the most famous figure craftsman in the entire ancient Luodu except for He Qingjun, because he has mastered the technique of mutated figure sculpting, and the figure he creates is not an ordinary figure, but a divine figure.

But I heard Yuanlin say: "My dad is proficient in the art of sculpting, and almost every day someone asks him for help in sculpting. It is said that He Qingjun is the most skilled figure sculptor in Guluodu. In fact, He Qingjun's skills are far from comparable to compared to my dad."

As he was talking, Yuan Lin suddenly changed the subject. In his tone, he was full of pride in his father Yuan Wei's sculpting skills, and at the same time he was dissatisfied that He Qingjun was more famous than his father.

Everyone subjectively favors those close to them.

Xiao Mu didn't take Yuan Lin's claim that his father's sculpting skills were stronger than He Qingjun's. After all, as Yuan Wei's son, it was normal for Yuan Lin to favor his father subjectively. If it was He Qingjun's son He Jianchang, The idea is absolutely the opposite.

Thinking of this in his heart, a look unconsciously showed on his face.

"Mr. Xiao, don't you believe my words?"

Seeing the expression on Xiao Mu's face, Yuan Lin was a little unconvinced, and immediately added: "You don't know, my father's sculpting cheats are mutated from the technical books passed down from generation to generation in my family. My family has been sculpting for generations. It’s just that it’s not popular in recent years, so it’s temporarily stopped, but the technical book has been kept.”

"The secret books of the He family were mutated from technical books bought from outside. Can the accumulation of one generation compare with the accumulation of dozens of generations of my family?"

"It makes sense!"

Xiao Mu nodded, but he didn't think so.

He still thinks that Yuan Lin is blindly confident in his family's sculpting skills, how could he know that the skills recorded in the secret books passed down from generation to generation in your family are higher than those recorded in the books the He family bought from outside?

The times are constantly moving forward, and it is by no means that the longer the better.

But Xiao Mu obviously didn't intend to argue with Yuan Lin on these issues, he didn't think so in his heart, but he echoed Yuan Lin's words.

"Mr. Yuan, did that Mr. Shang say where to ask Mr. Yuan to help make a portrait?"

Xiao Mu changed the topic.

Yuan Lin said ashamedly: "No, because that Mr. Shang asked too high a price and took out a total of 100 energy fruits, so my dad didn't ask anything, and just followed. After this walk, he never came back , the phone can’t get through, and it has been three or four days now, and there has been no contact.”

Money touches people's hearts, so it is understandable for Xiao Mu to leave with Mr. Shang without asking Yuan Wei.

After thinking about it, he asked again, "Have you seen that Mr. Shang? Do you know what he looks like? What are his characteristics?"

"this……"

Yuan Lin thought for a while, "That Mr. Shang is about forty years old, with a normal build and a square face... By the way, there is a camera at the door of my house. It should record the appearance of that Mr. Shang. I will take you to see it."

Yuan Lin suddenly thought of something and was a little excited.

"It's time to work."

Xiao Mu waved his hand at Yuan Lin, signaling him to lead the way.

"Mr. Xiao, please follow me."

At the moment Yuan Lin took Xiao Mu to check the surveillance computer.

The surveillance computer of the Yuan family is placed in the basement. The computer is a bit old, and it is an old desktop computer more than ten years ago, but it does not affect its use.

Yuan Lin turned on the computer, found the surveillance video of the day, opened the video, and the appearance of Mr. Shang appeared in the video.

From the video, Mr. Shang is just an ordinary middle-aged man, with ordinary appearance, ordinary body, and even ordinary temperament.

Xiao Mu couldn't help but frowned slightly. He didn't realize a problem until he saw the surveillance video with his own eyes.

From the actions of this Mr. Shang, it can be judged that the mutation is undoubtedly, and the realm is not low, at least in the fifth realm of the mortal realm.

However, what the camera can capture is only some appearances, and it cannot capture any deep-seated things.

For example, mutants have a special aura on them, and energy will escape from them unconsciously.

However, this invisible and qualityless energy cannot be captured by the camera.

"Mr. Xiao, do you know this Mr. Shang?" Yuan Lin asked, staring at the change of expression on Xiao Mu's face.

I don't know all the mutants. From the content in the video, I can't even tell whether this Mr. Shang is a mutant in my world or a mutant from outside the sky.

Xiao Mu responded in his heart, but his face remained expressionless, and asked again: "Mr. Yuan, you just mentioned that Mr. Shang once gave out a hundred energy fruits as a reward? Are those energy fruits there?"

"Yes." Yuan Lin nodded, looking at Xiao Mu in surprise.

Xiao Mu said: "Can you let me see those energy fruits?"

At this moment, he can only hope that there is still Mr. Shang's breath on the energy fruit, but that possibility is really unlikely.

"Mr. Xiao wants to see the energy fruit?" Yuan Lin was a little surprised, with a hint of puzzlement in his tone, and a slight resistance to Xiao Mu's way of looking at the energy fruit.

I'm just looking at it, I don't want yours.

Xiao Mu noticed Yuan Lin's inner thoughts, and secretly slandered, but said with a serious face: "I need more evidence."

"Okay...well." Yuan Lin thought for a while, and reluctantly agreed, but still took Xiao Mu to see the energy fruit.

Invite Xiao Mu to wait in the living room, and go to other rooms to get energy fruits.

About ten minutes later, Yuan Lin came out with a storage box.

"Mr. Xiao, please look, this box and the storage box inside are given by Mr. Shang."

Yuan Lin put the storage box on the table between him and Xiao Mu, but stared nervously at the storage box, fearing that Xiao Mu might have malicious intentions.

I don't like a hundred energy fruits, and if I want to grab them, you won't be able to defend them.

Xiao Mu felt amused in his heart, and felt contemptuous of Yuan Lin's actions, but he also showed some understanding, and then looked at the storage box by himself.

An exquisite storage box, but the interior space is not large. Xiao Mu has many similar storage boxes.

"Um?"

Xiao Mu pressed his hand on the lid of the storage box, and was about to open it, but immediately sensed a weak force of life and death on the lid.

"The power of life and death, this box and energy fruit come from the Life and Death Sect? That Mr. Shang is from the Life and Death Sect?"

"People from the Life and Death Sect took Yuan Wei away and asked him to help shape the face. Is it to make the Immortal God respect life?"

"The object of the sculpture is the Immortal God?"

Xiao Mu quickly made a judgment, slowly moved his palm on the storage box, and said to Yuan Wei: "Mr. Yuan, please put away the energy fruit. As for the whereabouts of Mr. Yuan, I think I already have information. There's a clue."

"Mr. Xiao has a clue? Can you find my dad?" Yuan Weiyi's face was dull, and he clicked on the box, and there was a clue without even looking at it?

"I'll do my best. Anyway, Mr. Yuan, don't hold out too much hope."

Xiao Mu responded lightly, but her tone did not show much desire to help find someone.

If you help him, he will help, but you don't intend to tell Yuan Wei, just let him worry, just treat it as punishment for the other party's suspicion that you will steal his energy fruit just now.
