Chapter 25 Are there really monsters in the world?

Zhao Mu looked around and found a blind old beggar in the corner of the wall not far away, so he walked over.

Clang!

He threw two copper coins into the bowl.

"Thank you, sir. I wish you a long life."

The old beggar scratched his messy hair like a chicken coop and said perfunctorily without raising his head.

"Live a long life" is not a good thing for me.

Zhao Mu shook his head, took out a few pieces of silver, and touched the blind old beggar's ears.

"I have something to ask you. Answer it. These are all yours."

"Hehe, my lord, you ask, and I will tell you everything I know."

"Tell me what happened to the Zheng family?"

"You just came to the capital, right?"

"What do you mean?"

"Hehe, everyone who has lived in the capital for a while knows what happened to the Zheng family. After all, it has only been three months."

The old beggar's laughter was a little strange: "Three months ago, a humanoid monster covered with green feathers suddenly broke into the Zheng Mansion and killed everyone in the mansion. No one survived."

"Monster?" Zhao Mu was shocked: "Where did the monster come from in the Jin Dynasty?"

"I don't know. Well, no one knows the origin of the monster, and no one has seen its traces since then, as if it was here to kill the entire Zheng family. "

"What happened later? Did the court send people to investigate?"

"Of course, the court sent heavy troops to seal off the Zheng Mansion for investigation, but unfortunately nothing was found. The Zheng family died in vain."

"And because they were killed by monsters, the court was afraid of corpse transformation, so they burned all the bodies of the Zheng family."

"In the end, it was hard to tell whose ashes belonged to, so the court simply buried them all outside the city and built a big tomb for the Zheng family. Now that no one is taking care of it, it is estimated that it has long been abandoned."

Is it really a monster?

Zhao Mu couldn't believe it.

Since there are immortals in this world, there are monsters.

But the problem is that the immortal way of the Jin Dynasty has long been in decline, and the legend of monsters has not been seen in history for thousands of years.

Why did monsters suddenly appear in the capital today?

Is it a real monster?

Or did the Zheng family offend someone, and they disguised themselves as monsters to kill people and silence them?

This matter... is very strange!

Zhao Mu threw the silver coins to the old beggar, walked around the house, checked the surrounding environment, and found nothing.

So he jumped into the yard to check.

Soon he found that the yard was not simply abandoned.

Under the countless weeds, there were traces of cleaning everywhere, as if someone was deliberately covering up something?

Sure enough, what happened three months ago was not simple.

Zhao Mu sat cross-legged and released a large number of Shengwen Gu with himself as the center.

After fifty years of nurturing, the Shengwen Gu has already reached the top grade and can cover an area of ​​more than ten miles.

In addition, when he turned back to youth three months ago, the mother Gu of Shengwen Gu was always carried by Zhao Mu.

At that time, the petals of the reincarnation fruit fell and turned into infinite vitality to wrap Zhao Mu's body, and Shengwen Gu was naturally affected.

Afterwards, Zhao Mu discovered that the Shengwen Gu had actually developed some spirituality and could communicate with his mind.

Now he no longer needed to knock on the Gu nest to control the Shengwen Gu.

As long as he had a thought in his mind, he could make the Shengwen Gu act according to his mind.

Not only that, the Shengwen Gu's ability to detect was no longer limited to sound.

Air flow, temperature changes, light brightness, smell differences...

Even the vitality of plants and animals, as well as some obscure and strange energies.

Through the Shengwen Gu, Zhao Mu could faintly sense it, which was very mysterious.

He estimated that the Shengwen Gu should not be too far from becoming a real spirit.

Zhao Mu closed his eyes and controlled the Shengwen Gu to check inch by inch, not letting go of any corner of the house.

"Found it."

Suddenly he jumped up, quickly came to a pavilion, and picked up a stone from the ground.

The stone

Obviously, the person who was responsible for cleaning the house at the beginning did not clean it up completely.

The feathers faintly exuded a strange, violent, and cold breath.

Could this be the feather left by the monster?

And could the breath on the feather be the demonic energy?

What was even more strange was that Zhao Mu felt an excitement from the Shengwen Gu at this moment.

It seemed that the Shengwen Gu was very interested in the demonic energy on the feather.

Just when Zhao Mu was about to explore further, the Shengwen Gu suddenly felt another demonic energy.

But this time it was not in the mansion, but on someone outside the mansion.

"How could it be him?"

Zhao Mu was a little surprised, and he left the hospital immediately and found the blind old beggar again.

He grabbed the old beggar's wrist and took his pulse, and at the same time injected his true energy into his body to check.

Soon he found that the old beggar's internal organs were entangled with the power that seemed to be demonic energy.

If he didn't suppress it, the old beggar might not live for a few days.

"My lord, what are you doing?" The old beggar wanted to escape.

But Zhao Mu held him tightly: "Who are you? How can you have the power of that monster in your body? Are you also a member of the Zheng family?"

"No, the old man doesn't understand what you are talking about."

"It's useless to deny. Let me see who you are?"

Zhao Mu forcibly pushed aside the old beggar's hair, but what he saw was a face that was burned and disfigured, and it was impossible to recognize it.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly opened the old beggar's sleeves and saw a peach-shaped birthmark on his arm.

"As expected, it's you, Zheng Jingren, and you're not dead?"

Zhao Mu was overjoyed.

"who are you?"

Zheng Jingren's voice was very nervous.

"My name is Zhao Jinyan, and I am Zhao Mu's grandnephew."

"impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible, don't worry, wait until I cure your eyes and you will believe it when you see it for yourself."

After Zhao Mu finished speaking, he used his true energy to form sharp needles and pierced the meridian points of the opponent's eyes.

Zheng Jingren's blindness was also caused by the demonic energy in his body. As long as he suppressed the demonic energy with his innate true energy, his eyesight would naturally be restored.

As the true energy continued to be injected, Zheng Jingren's eyes gradually became brighter.

He raised his head and saw a familiar face.

"It's so similar. I didn't expect that I would be able to see my old friend in my lifetime. Where is Lao Zhao? He didn't go back to Beijing with you?"

"My great-uncle has passed away."

"Hey, we are all old, and we will eventually reach this day."

Zheng Jingren sighed deeply.

Zhao Mu asked: "Tell me, what happened three months ago? Did a monster really appear that day?"

Zheng Jingren shook his head: "No, that's a human being. He was just affected by some evil force and his body changed. And if that person told me, you probably wouldn't believe it."

"who is he?"

"Queen! She is the queen sitting in the palace."

"It's actually her?"

Zhao Mu was surprised.

"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it."

Zheng Jingren smiled bitterly: "Your name is Zhao Jinyan, right? Jinyan, have you heard the rumor that His Majesty used the Queen's special physique to extend his life?"
