Chapter 140: Family Massacre
"Where is the Taoist priest now?" the middle-aged man asked.
"this……"
Liu Mian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I don't even know where he is."
The middle-aged man frowned. He was from the Xuanjing Division.
Yesterday, I received an order from the Emperor to sort out all the information on incidents that were suspected of being infested by demons that occurred in the Jin Dynasty over the years, and sent them to the Jiaofang Division today, and handed them over to the outer deacon from the Ziwei Taoist Sect.
According to the usual practice, the spies of the Xuanjing Division lurking in the Jiaofang Division need to find out the situation of some guests with special behavior every day.
At least you need to know when those guests came and left, who they came into contact with, and if they stayed overnight, which girl's room they stayed in, and so on.
Therefore, the middle-aged man originally thought that he would be able to find the outer deacon as long as he came to the Jiaofang Division and asked.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mian, the secret agent, had no idea where he was.
"Liu Mian, you have neglected your duty."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Liu Mian was frightened: "My lord, I'll forgive you. I'll go find him right away."
"How to find him? Knock on the doors of each house to see which woman's room he lives in?"
The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "I think you want to be skinned alive by those powerful people who stay in Jiaofangsi, and you want to die without hurting me."
"It's because the official didn't think carefully."
Liu Mian said helplessly: "It's a pity that Madam Lianxin never entertains guests, otherwise we wouldn't have to go to such trouble. He will definitely stay at Madam Lianxin's place."
"Sir, what is the origin of this Taoist priest?"
"He is the outer deacon sent by Ziwei Dao Sect. If he didn't have such a special status, how could I personally come to give him something?"
"He is actually an expert from the Ziwei Taoist sect. No wonder I felt that he was different yesterday."
Just as the two were talking, a hand suddenly stretched out from the floor of the carriage.
With a slight move of the palm, the three boxes disappeared in an instant.
The strange scene made the two of them feel terrified and almost screamed that there was a ghost.
But the next moment, Zhao Mu silently crossed the floor and sat in the carriage.
"The poor Daoist Xuan Chengzi has met the two adults of the Xuanjing Division."
Zhao Mu said with a smile.
The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
The way this Taoist priest appeared was really special.
They all really thought that something unclean had entered the carriage.
"The Taoist master's methods are mysterious, and the subordinates admire him."
The middle-aged man said: "Today, His Majesty has given an order for the Xuanjing Division to fully cooperate with the Taoist Priest in slaying demons and demons. From now on, if the Taoist Priest has anything to do, just ask, and we will do our best."
"Okay, I know very well the intelligence capabilities of the Xuanjing Division. From now on, I will have to trouble the Xuanjing Division for information about demon incidents in various places."
"Yes, but if something happens to us in the future, how can we contact the Taoist Priest?"
"It's simple. If you have anything to do in the future, just come to the Jiaofang Division, find a random place, and just read out my Taoist name."
"As long as you are within the scope of the Jiaofang Division, no matter where you are or how low your voice is, I can still hear it."
"Yes, I understand."
The middle-aged man and Liu Mian handed over their hands at the same time. When they raised their heads again, Zhao Mu's figure had disappeared.
Neither of them noticed that there was a white fox on the roof outside the carriage, which had been eavesdropping on their conversation.
And when Zhao Mu left, the white fox also jumped off the roof, got into the grass and disappeared.
…
After Zhao Mu returned to Lingxu Immortal Mansion, he began to check the information in the three boxes.
His speed is very fast, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can move at a glance.
In just one day, he read all the information.
As expected, even if Zhao Mu did not go to the scene, most of the weird demon incidents recorded in it could be judged to be false.
Those things are basically some special natural phenomena, or after someone committed a crime, they transformed the scene into a so-called demon crime in order to escape the crime.
After all, there were too few people in the Jin Dynasty who could cultivate immortality, and even fewer who had seen real demons.
Therefore, those methods of transforming the scene are to deceive ordinary people who have never seen monsters.
For a true immortal cultivator like Zhao Mu, the flaws could be seen almost at a glance, so he simply threw the information behind him.
In the last three boxes of information, Zhao Mu only left more than 20 pieces of useful information.
Of course, this information cannot be confirmed, it is really the work of demons.
But there are very few flaws in it. Even Zhao Mu has to see the scene to finally determine the authenticity.
"It seems that the Xin Yuanyi Horse Formation can be used again."
Zhao Mu chuckled, stood up and walked into the study.
As his cultivation has improved over the years, he has unlocked more abilities of the Xin Yuanyi Horse Formation.
Now that he uses the formation to transfer his consciousness, it is no longer limited to Ziwei Dao Sect's library, but can also be transferred to other places.
Of course, limited by cultivation, this distance cannot be too far.
Zhao Mu made a rough estimate. Now that he is in the capital, he should be able to teleport anywhere within the scope of the Jin Dynasty.
Zhao Mu stood in the center of the study and activated the Xin Yuanyi Horse Formation.
Suddenly, he once again felt the wonderful feeling of his consciousness leaving his body, as if he was traveling through a time and space tunnel.
Soon, Zhao Mu's consciousness came to Xiguan City.
This was once the junction of the Jin Dynasty and the Jinlun Kingdom to the west.
In order to chase the corpse of the new Chu emperor, Zhao Mu had come here before, so he felt familiar with everything here.
At this time, the people in Xiguan City had already started a day of hard work.
No one could notice that an invisible and intangible consciousness was passing by them.
Zhao Mu came to an abandoned house.
According to the information sent by Xuanjingsi, a family of five was killed here three years ago.
When the government investigated, it thought it was a crime committed by outsiders.
But after investigating the scene, the government was shocked to find that there was no trace of outsiders at the scene.
And the wounds on the five people were caused by each other.
It was as if some strange power manipulated the thoughts of the five people, making them cruelly kill their closest people overnight.
What's even more strange is that according to such cruel means, the five people should scream continuously.
But that night, the neighbors around did not hear any noise, as if the five members of the family did not feel any pain when they killed each other.
This incident caused quite a stir in Xiguan City three years ago.
Many people said that the five members of the family had provoked an unclean thing, so they were killed by that thing in the middle of the night.
Zhao Mu controlled his consciousness and slowly floated into the abandoned house. Suddenly, he felt a kind of strange power remnant in the house.
That kind of power is definitely not something that mortals can possess.
"It seems that the death of the five members of the family is indeed strange." Zhao Mu said in his heart.
