In the Heavens

Li Mu had already realized that something was wrong after taking down several Demon Cult dens, but only caught a few small miscellaneous fish on the periphery. But where the problem is, I can't find a clue for a while.

Originally, he wanted to call a stop, but seeing the hard work of the Pingyang martial arts family, he swallowed the words again.

Zhou Wenyuan: "Hero Li, news came from the yamen just now that Mingshan Village in the north of the city was slaughtered. The time of death was not more than two days after the author's appraisal. It is very likely that people in the Demon Cult did it."

When he came to this world, Li Mu had already seen a lot of people being wiped out. There is nothing wrong with killing in the rivers and lakes, cutting grass and roots.

But this is the first time he has encountered "Tu Cun" in the martial arts.

"The rivers and lakes are the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes do not involve ordinary people."

This is an agreement made by various martial arts factions and the imperial court. Although it is not an iron rule, most people in the martial arts abide by it.

Even if it's for silence, it's only for those who know. This kind of massacre of villages rarely happens in Jianghu.

It can only be said that the Devil's Cult is worthy of being a Demon's Cult, and with such a ruthless style, it should be despised by others.

"What's the government's reaction? This kind of thing is no longer just a vendetta. The six doors can't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb, right?"

As the yamen that specializes in the management of martial arts criminals, now that there are martial arts people Tucun, it's their turn to play.

Zhou Wenyuan shook his head: "According to the information we obtained from inside the yamen, the news that Mingshan Village was massacred has been suppressed by the government. If there is no accident, the case will end either with a sudden plague or a vendetta.

Similar things happened not once or twice in Pingyang. What those officials and lords are best at is making peace with each other, and what they pursue is that more things are worse than less things.

The six doors only played a role in the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and now they are almost a decoration. Unless the victim is a local gentry, the life and death of ordinary Shengdou people, they will not take it to heart at all. "

It is not surprising that people in the Jianghu despise the government. But from Zhou Wenyuan's tone, Li Mu still heard unusual resentment.

He was not interested in delving into the story behind it. Although he doesn't like what the Pingyang government has done, Li Mu can understand it.

In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, if one wants to climb up, "covering the cover" is a must-have stunt.

If the window paper is pierced, the murderer will be caught and the case will be solved. A major village massacre occurred in the jurisdiction, and the assessment of the Ministry of Officials was over.

The "Six Doors" had a glorious past. At its peak, every school would send disciples to join in, and cooperate with the imperial court to rule the martial arts world.

Unfortunately that was in the past. Because the top executives of the Six Doors took the wrong team in a political struggle, not only did they end up decapitated, but the Six Doors were also purged.

By the time the emperor realized that he had played too much, the six doors had been disabled. The lucky one who escaped by chance was also chilled by the court and lived a perfunctory life.

The current Six Doors, not to mention the supervision of martial arts, even the second- and third-rate martial arts families may not buy it.

Abandoning all the fantasies in his mind, Li Mu said helplessly: "Go over and have a look, maybe you can find some clues."

...

The Yigao people were bold and informed the elders in the sect. Li Mu arrived at the scene with a few Huashan disciples and Pingyang Wulin.

Looking at the dead and silent mountain village in front of him, Li Mu sighed deeply. In this cruel world, no amount of compassion can afford to be consumed.

"Li Daxia, no survivors have been found. The dead are all ordinary people, and the number of corpses is more than 20 more than the household registration number provided by the Yamen.

I don't know if it was Ruo's population who was hiding, or if he was visiting relatives and friends. Unfortunately, he died. When encountering this kind of thing, ordinary people can't avoid it. I'm afraid even if they have family members, they dare not come to identify the corpse.

Judging from the wounds, they were all fatal in one blow. The deceased did not even have time to resist before dying. The murderer must be a member of the martial arts.

The attack is so vicious that even infants are not spared, and only members of the Devil's Cult can do it. "

After hearing this expected answer, Li Mu frowned:

"Damn demon cult thieves, we will settle this account with them later. Arrange someone to restrain themselves, and don't let them leave their corpses in the wilderness after death."

There was only so much he could do. If it weren't for the period of the war between good and evil, the murderer could still be tracked down and a heroic act of justice could be staged. Now, take care of yourself first!

While speaking, a tree on the back mountain suddenly swayed against the wind, which immediately caught Li Mu's attention, and he shouted:

"who?"

The crowd, who had already become frightened, quickly took out their weapons and outflanked the back mountain.

Encountering this scene just after leaving the mountain, Master Lingfeng was too secretly distressed. That's all in normal times, but now she is going to rescue soldiers, so she has no time to delay here.

It's just that it's too late to leave now. If I run away immediately, I'm afraid I will be chased and killed by this unknown force.

At this point, it's just a gamble. I hope that these people have nothing to do with the Demon Cult, otherwise the Hengshan faction will be miserable this time.

"Hengshan Pai Lingfeng, may I ask why all the heroes blocked the poor nun's way?"

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, although the person who came was a little embarrassed, the blood-stained monk's robe and the iconic bald head all showed that it was a nun.

Turning his head over, it seems that there really is a "Master Ling Feng" in the "Ling" generation of the Hengshan School, Li Mu immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "It turns out that he is the uncle of the Hengshan School, Huashan Li Bumu is so polite. "

Hearing that it was his own people, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. Facing the ferocious Demon Cult, no one dared to take it lightly.

Ignoring the pleasantries, Mrs. Lingfeng immediately asked: "Nephew Li, is the Huashan faction responsible for this time Senior Brother Zhou?"

Thanks to the last Huashan Conference, he communicated with the younger generation of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, and Li Mu also gained some popularity within the Five Sacred Sword Sect.

The first time elite disciples come out to practice, they are usually brought by the master himself. Recognizing Li Mu, Master Lingfeng mistakenly thought that Zhou Qingyun was hosting this meeting.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said: "My teacher just happened to have a comprehension, and he has been retreating for many days. This time, Master Uncle Wang is leading the team."

Heart is under the kyte. With so many people present, who knows if there are spies from the Demon Cult, Li Mu will not expose Feng Qingyang.

Misunderstanding, Master Lingfeng didn't care about the embarrassment, and urged directly: "Take me to see Senior Brother Wang!"

No need to think about it, Li Mu also knew that the Hengshan faction was in trouble, and it was not an ordinary trouble.

"Uncle, but you were attacked by a demon sect on the road?"

Master Lingfeng nodded again and again, with an anxious look on his face.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu immediately told Lou Bubei who was behind him: "Senior Brother Lou, please take a walk, please come here."
