Chapter 787: Outer God of the Spire
"Old Xu Yuan, long time no see! How is the investigation of the Life and Death Sect in Mulin Village going?"
Xiao Mu cupped his hands at Xu Qianwu's face, and said hello casually.
Xu Qianwu looked ashamed and said: "I'm still investigating, and I haven't gained much for the time being. I have contacted the mutants of the Life and Death Sect three times, and fought three times. Thanks to the magic treasure you provided, our side won all three times."
"It's good to win!"
The victory mentioned by Xu Qianwu made Xiao Mu feel relieved, and felt that the magic treasure he provided was not in vain, at least the life of the mutant in the world was saved.
"I heard from the big boss that you, Xiao Xiao, have also come to Mulin Village, don't you plan to act with us?"
Xu Qianwu raised his brows, and his voice came from his throat.
"No need, Elder Xu Yuan, you are in the open, I am in the dark, it is better to act separately." Xiao Mu expressed his thoughts and politely rejected Xu Qianwu's proposal.
"That's true."
Xu Qianwu thought for a while, and felt that Xiao Mu's idea was very good, so he nodded, "Keep in touch and share information. If you get information, notify us in time, and we will notify you in time when we get information. If you need help, don't Forgot to say."
"I really need Elder Xu Yuan's help."
Xiao Mu smiled, and told Xu Qianwu about the death of mutants in Mulin Village that he had just found out, and asked the alliance if it knew about it, and what data it had stored.
"The alliance really investigated the death of the mutant you mentioned, but it just has no clue."
Xu Qianwu pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about the information, "According to the analysis of the alliance's information, the main reason why there is no clue about the murder incident until now is that the villagers in Mulin Village have too many worries, and there are still a lot of superstitious behaviors. The killer provided cover."
"Well, if you want to investigate, you might as well start with some superstitious behaviors of the villagers."
"Remember that visionary cultivator?"
Xu Qianwu changed the subject and mentioned another matter.
"Remember, what's going on?" From Xu Qianwu's tone, Xiao Mu faintly realized that something happened again.
"The man reappeared the day before yesterday and attacked a patrol team of the foreign affairs team. In the end, two of our peak Yin God realms died, and one was injured at the early stage of the God Spirit realm."
Xu Qianwu said angrily, "This person must be found and killed as soon as possible, otherwise my Tang Dynasty ruins will continue to be damaged."
The information provided by Xu Qianwu made Xiao Mu feel a lot of nervousness, and felt that it was necessary to adjust the plan in a targeted manner and find out the cultivator of the vision as soon as possible.
Saying goodbye to Xu Qianwu, Xiao Mu left the temple area and returned the same way.
Along the way, he was thinking about the information provided by Xu Qianwu.
The villagers of Mulin Village do still have a lot of superstitious behaviors, which are not only manifested in ordinary people, but even mutants.
The reason for this is fundamentally because the location of Mulin Village is too remote, and it has been isolated from the world for a long time since the world mutated.
Since the influence of the alliance headquarters has not been extended here for a long time, it has been taken advantage of by mutants with ulterior motives.
"Tian Zhen is quite superstitious. As the wife of a mutant named Zhao Jingyan, she actually believes in gods. Similar situations are said to be very common among couples in Mulin Village."
Xiao Mu shook his head. Seeing that he entered the residential area of the village again, he stopped and walked slowly, preparing to check the situation in the village.
The village is very large. After the world has mutated, the distance between people has been lengthened, but this has not prevented the villagers from communicating with each other.
On the avenue in the village, from time to time, ordinary people ride bicycles, drive cars, drive electric scooters, and walk by on balance scooters.
The road was flat, and Xiao Mu walked straight to the center of the village.
He went to bars, dance halls, cinemas, restaurants and other public places in the village to look for clues. After all, it is a village with limited space and few people. Xiao Mu quickly explored the only few public places.
Xiao Mu didn't gain anything from this exploration. But this was within Xiao Mu's expectation. If the clues were found so easily, the people in Mulin Village would have already found them.
I found a quiet place near the center of the village and sat down, ate energy fruits to take the opportunity to practice, and returned to Zhao's house in the evening.
In the Zhao family, Zhao Jingyan is fiddling with mutated materials in preparation for making treasures.
Tian Zhen just drove the car into the yard, got out of the car, and was standing aside talking to Zhao Jingyan.
"Old Zhao, I met Tao Zhi today. She said that her son has broken through the Mortal Realm and stepped into the Yin God Realm. Now he is in the middle stage of the Yin God Realm just like you."
"Tao Zhi's son, Lu Yuan, that kid's cultivation speed is so fast? Didn't he still hover at the peak of the Mortal Realm half a year ago, because he lacked the Breaking Realm Pill for breakthrough, couldn't he break into the Yin God Realm?"
Zhao Jingyan was startled by Tian Zhen's words, and suddenly raised his head holding a mutated black iron.
"Yeah, I really don't know how that kid cultivated. Tao Zhi talked to me today and said that her son broke into the middle stage of Yin God Realm last night."
Tian Zhen's tone revealed a trace of unconcealable envy, "Lu Yuan's cultivation speed is really fast, and he is now on the same level as you. Tell me, how about introducing our Tian Ling to him? Although his Lu Yuan is long He's a little simple and honest, but his aptitude is good, he can break through from the peak of the Mortal Realm to the middle stage of the Yin God Realm in half a year, and he will definitely accomplish a lot in the future."
Zhao Jingyan was noncommittal, looked at the materials in his hand, then turned around and asked, "Have you asked your brother and Tian Ling?"
Tian Zhen said confidently: "My brother definitely agrees. The main reason is that girl Tian Ling is a bit picky. But Lu Yuan's condition is really not easy to find."
"Tian Ling's little girl has very high eyesight. Although Lu Yuan has good aptitude, he is a bit ugly. Tian Ling may not be able to like him. I think you should stop making trouble."
Zhao Jingyan took over the conversation, and when he heard footsteps coming from the door, he suddenly turned his head, saw Xiao Mu, and hurriedly stopped the conversation, "Brother Mu is back, how was your harvest today?"
"Walking in the village for a day didn't yield anything. I have designated an area and plan to explore it tomorrow. I saw brother Zhao and sister-in-law talking just now, so I didn't go in. No wonder!"
Xiao Mu politely apologized to Zhao Jingyan and Tian Zhen, and then walked into Zhao's house.
"Brother Mu is back, I'm going to cook, is there anything you want to eat?" Tian Zhen stopped talking to Zhao Jing just now, and looked at Xiao Mu.
"Sister-in-law, don't bother me. I am a mutant and I don't usually eat."
Xiao Mu tactfully refused and thanked Tian Zhen, and his inner affection for Tian Zhen increased a lot. Lao Zhao and his wife are good people, and Tian Zhen, an ordinary person, is even more hospitable and enthusiastic.
While speaking, she took the opportunity to look at the top of Tian Zhen's head. The incense was lingering on Tian Zhen's head, which was obviously stronger than when she went out in the morning.
Xiao Mu knew in his heart that Tian Zhen must have gone to worship the gods, so he pretended to be careless and asked casually, "Sister-in-law worshiped the gods?"
"That's right, all the non-mutated people in the village have this habit." Tian Zhen replied with a smile, and after glancing at Xiao Mu, she said casually, "Brother Mu is a mutant, so he must think our behavior is strange, right? Do you think we are too superstitious and ignorant?"
yes!
Xiao Mu responded in her heart, but she could only say: "My sister-in-law said it before, everyone has the freedom of belief. I am a mutant, but I will not interfere with other people's beliefs."
"Brother Mu is really enlightened!"
Tian Zhen smiled and praised, then said hello, took vegetables from the trunk of the car and went to cook, leaving Zhao Jingyan and Xiao Mu in the yard.
"Brother Zhao, what are you trying to build?" Xiao Mu looked at the mutated black iron in Zhao Jingyan's hand, and several large pieces of mutated bronze materials piled up on the ground.
Zhao Jing said: "According to Captain Yu's request, we are going to build a guillotine first."
"Brother Zhao has the inheritance of a treasure refiner, so it must not be difficult to create a treasure for the village protection team." Xiao Mu praised Zhao Jingyan casually.
"Brother Mu thinks highly of me."
Zhao Jingyan suddenly smiled bitterly, "This time the village protection team requires a relatively high level of treasure. The guillotine is fine, but it is only a D-level treasure. For me, it is not difficult to build it. There is an execution stake, but it is a D-level treasure. I have never used it before. If it has not been built, it may not be successful this time.”
He shook his head while talking, looking like he was really in trouble.
"Brother Zhao, ah, Brother Mu is back."
At this time, Zhu Ping's voice sounded from the direction of the door. When Xiao Mu turned his head to look, he found that Zhu Ping and Li Gujian appeared at the door at the same time.
"Old Zhu, Xiao Li, how is the harvest?"
Zhao Jingyan put down the black iron material in his hand, and asked Zhu Ping and Li Gujian concerned about taking it when he went out to explore that day.
"Forget it!"
Zhu Ping sighed, and frowned, "I only realized after I personally explored that the whereabouts of the mutants of the Life and Death Sect are not so easy to find."
Li Gujian answered, "Actually, we should have thought of this a long time ago. If the whereabouts of the Mutants of the Life and Death Sect were so easy to find, the Mutants in the village would have fought them countless times."
"It seems that you have an idea?" Zhao Jingyan heard something in Zhu Ping and Li Gujian's words, and glanced at the two of them.
Zhu Pingdao: "Xiao Li and I have decided to join the village protection team tomorrow and act together with the village protection team."
"Congratulations, brother Zhu, congratulations, brother Li."
Xiao Mu rushed to Zhu Ping, and Li Gujian cupped his hands, congratulating them both.
He had hoped that these two people would join the village guard team in Mulin Village, so that Zhu Ping and Li Gujian could provide him with information from time to time.
"Brother Mu, don't you plan to join the village protection team?" Zhu Ping turned his head strangely, and Li Gujian looked at Xiao Mu in confusion.
"I still have some private matters to deal with, so I can't spare any energy to join the village protection team for the time being. After I finish my private affairs, maybe I will choose to join the village protection team like brother Zhu and Li." Xiao Mu said euphemistically Explain the reasons for not joining the village protection team.
"Personal matters do matter."
Zhu Ping nodded, but did not ask Xiao Mu about his personal affairs.
Zhao Jingyan and Li Gujian also did not pursue the question.
After talking to the three of them again, Xiao Mu returned to his room.
As soon as he returned to the room, he continued to practice, took out energy fruits, ate them one by one, and transformed them into energy and injected them into his whole body.
The night passed quickly, and Xiao Mu stopped practicing early the next morning.
Today, he planned to follow Tian Zhen to see what happened to the gods enshrined by ordinary people in Mulin Village, and whether he could find information related to the mutants of the Life and Death Sect or the cultivators of the gods.
He listened to the movement in the yard, and prepared to go downstairs when Tian Zhen left.
Tuk tuk tuk!
There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Mu opened the door.
Zhu Ping had just come down from upstairs and stood at his door, but he extended an invitation to Xiao Mu, "Brother Mu, I'm going to report to the village protection team today. If Brother Mu is fine, do you want to go and have a look together?"
"Thank you, brother Zhu, for your kind invitation. I happen to have something to go out today. Well, when I have time in the future, I will definitely go to the village guard team with brother Zhu to have a look."
Xiao Mu politely rejected Zhu Ping's proposal.
At this time, Li Gujian appeared at the stairs and poked his head out, "Brother Zhu, Brother Mu, do you want to set off together?"
Zhu Ping looked at Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu thought for a while, "Alright, let's go together!"
He decided to leave with Zhu Ping and Li Gujian, waiting for each other on the way Tian Zhen passed outside Zhao's house.
The three went downstairs together, just as Zhao Jingyan also came out of the house, and walked into the yard with the mutated material.
"Brother Zhao, good morning!"
"Brother Zhu, Xiao Li, Brother Mu, good morning!"
...
After everyone greeted each other, Zhao Jingyan stayed in the yard to build treasures, and quickly started to work. Xiao Mu, Zhu Ping, and Li Gujian went out at the same time. After going out, Li Gujian and Zhu Ping turned to the left, while Xiao Mu turned to the right.
After leaving Zhao's house for a certain distance, he checked the surroundings and made sure that no one could see him. Xiao Mu suddenly used his magic power.
His body changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a little black swallow, spread his wings and flew to the gate of Zhao's house.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Tian Zhen drove out from Zhao's house, first turned left, and then drove west after reaching the main road.
Xiao Mu spread his wings and rushed after him.
Tian Zhen's speed is not too fast, and Xiao Mu's little swallow can catch up with her.
This has been driving for about an hour, and finally arrived in front of a large building.
This large building looks like a big temple from the outside, and the innermost one is a seven-story blue minaret, which can be seen beyond the courtyard wall.
The courtyard is very large. Apart from the minaret, there are many other buildings, but the minaret is undoubtedly the core.
Tian Zhen parked the car in the parking lot outside the yard, got out of the car and walked towards the yard.
There are guards at the gate of the courtyard. They are two mutants in the early stage of the Yin God Realm, both men.
Tian Zhen made a salute to the two guards, and the two guards returned the salute solemnly, and then stretched out their hands to invite Tian Zhen to enter.
Xiao Mu first stood outside and waited for a while, about twenty minutes, to see who would come.
In the past twenty minutes, a total of more than a dozen people came, including men and women, old and young, all ordinary people, not a single mutant.
Xiao Mu judged from the incense clouds above these people's heads that these people were all believers in the compound and the seven-story minaret. The guard at the gate knows everyone, and when he sees someone coming, let him go immediately.
Every ordinary person bowed to the guard Jishou, and the guard also bowed his head to return the salute, without any intention of discriminating against ordinary people.
Xiao Mu's little swallow stopped on a branch, thinking about how to get in.
He has many ways of getting into the yard.
The first one is to break in directly. There is a formation above the courtyard, but this formation is not very strong. It may be able to block the Mutant in the Yin God Realm, but it will definitely not be able to stop him, Xiao Mu.
If the mutants in the spire of the compound are related to the mutants of the Life and Death Sect or the vision cultivators, it will lead to things being revealed in advance, so that they can find the identity of the mutants of the Life and Death Sect or the vision cultivators. The plan fails.
Xiao Mu quickly vetoed the forced entry method, and decided to use the second method, and waited patiently. About half an hour later, a tall and thin ordinary man came out of the yard.
