Huang Wenyuan and the others sped up and arrived at Taibai County at nightfall.
"What? The new county magistrate? "
In the new county government, Feng Yuanxing and the others were completely dumbfounded when they saw the documents, official seals, and appointment documents.
Since Li Mu did not disclose the news to them before, Feng Yuanxing, Ma Junwu, Zhen Meng, and the others were not mentally prepared at all. But a group of people suddenly popped up and said that they were going to replace the county magistrate. Well … the point was that the appointment procedures did not seem to be fake.
"What's going on?"
"Where's Li Mu? Let him come to see me. "
Huang Wenyuan looked at the buildings inside and outside the new county government and said arrogantly.
He was now sure that the change of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in Taibai County was absolutely true. Because the moment he entered Taibai County, he felt that the air was full of rich Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. For warriors, this was simply the holy land for cultivation that they dreamed of.
He felt that a large amount of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth would enter his body with every breath, and his cultivation would grow.
That made him ecstatic.
A great opportunity was right in front of him.
"Your honor, Li Mu … is in closed-door cultivation and hasn't come out yet," Feng Yuanxing said hesitantly.
He was very confused.
"Let him come out to see me." Huang Wenyuan said arrogantly.
No wonder Li Mu, who was rumored to be just a scholar, suddenly became enlightened after he came to Taibai County. He threw away his pen and joined the army, and his strength soared. In such a blessed environment, even a pig could cultivate to become a demon.
His attendants, maids, and guards had already regarded themselves as the masters of the county government, and began to tidy up in the county government office.
"Well … When Li Mu is in closed-door cultivation, there is a tactical deployment outside the secret room. We can't get in without permission. We can only wait for him to come out …" Feng Yuanxing said tentatively.
He wanted to calm these people down first and then inform Li Mu to make preparations in advance.
"Huh?" Huang Wenyuan glanced at him, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
Feng Yuanxing and the others immediately felt the young man's aura crushing toward them. The tremendous pressure felt like a collapsing mountain, causing them to feel like they were struggling to breathe.
"What? You want me to wait for him? "Huang Wenyuan said with dissatisfaction.
At this moment, the white-haired elder Liu Chong, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Wait a minute … Your Excellency Feng, right? Let me ask you, is this county government newly built? That manor up there is the old county government office, right? "
Feng Yuanxing hurriedly said, "Yes, it is. After His Honor Li came to Taibai County, he turned the old county government office into his private residence. In order to facilitate the county administration, His Honor Li built this county government office with his own money."
Liu Chong smiled and said, "That's it … Alright, you can all leave now. When Li Mu comes out of closed-door training, tell him to come and see my Young Master."
Feng Yuanxing and the others left.
Huang Wenyuan said discontentedly, "Elder Liu, why wait? Why don't we just take Li Mu down and kill him? That will put an end to all troubles."
Liu Chong said grimly, "That Li Mu is not easy to deal with. I just observed in secret that the old county government office is very imposing. The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth is surging like undercurrents. It is very scary. My spiritual force can't penetrate it. That shows that this man has already built something in Taibai County. I'm not sure if I can break into the old county government directly … So, don't be impulsive."
Huang Wenyuan said in surprise, "Even Elder Liu is not sure?"
He knew that Elder Liu was already in the Celestial Being Realm 50 years ago. His current cultivation was even more unfathomable. Yet, he was not sure if he could deal with Li Mu?
Liu Chong said, "Li Mu is very cunning. I guess that the change of heaven and earth in Taibai County this time must be due to some kind of opportunity in the old county government. That's why he took the old county government as his own … If we attack by force, although I'm confident that I can kill him, I'm afraid we'll alert him and ruin the opportunity in the old county government. Or, if Li Mu escapes, it won't be good."
Huang Wenyuan nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see. Elder Zhou, you're really considerate. Then, let's wait for Li Mu to come out of closed-door training, lure him out of the old county government, and kill him directly."
…
In the next two days, Huang Wenyuan and the others did not see Li Mu.
Because Li Mu had been in closed-door training.
Under Liu Chong's persuasion, Huang Wenyuan, who was anxious, had to be patient. He wandered around Taibai County and observed. Soon, he found that the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was dense and condensed only in the whole county. As long as he stepped out of the county, the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth outside would return to normal.
"This is a very delicate tactical deployment. It's not much worse than the protective tactical deployment of our Holy Clan."
Liu Chong began to attach great importance to it.
Huang Wenyuan sneaked into the old county government several times but returned empty-handed.
He found it hard to accept that with his strength, he could not enter it.
His attention was diverted. He began to inquire about Hua Xiangrong in the county.
At first, some people answered him enthusiastically. But later, the county residents gradually realized that the young man was not pure in mind and began to reject him. For that reason, Huang Wenyuan, in a fit of rage, even attacked someone. As a result, he was surrounded by the county government's guards. Fortunately, Feng Yuanxing reacted in time and swallowed his anger to resolve the dispute.
The injured county residents and guards were sent to the county clinic for treatment.
"Unruly people come from barren hills and unruly rivers … These unruly people should all be killed." When Huang Wenyuan returned to his room, he was still angry. Even in the Guanshan Pasture, he had never been bullied like this.
"Young Master, why don't I strike secretly and kill all those unruly people and evil officials to avenge you?" suggested the burly old guard with a scar on his face with a murderous look.
Huang Wenyuan pondered for a moment and his eyes lit up. He nodded and said, "Fine. Teach them a lesson. By the way, didn't those unruly people say that Li Mu loves people like his own children? In my opinion, only by killing a few people can he be forced out. "
…
In the study.
For three days and three nights, Li Mu, who had been in the state of meditation, finally opened his eyes.
"This … I actually sank into the Hoary Head Mysterious Diagram. What's going on?"
Li Mu was extremely surprised.
As he looked at the diagram, he could not help being immersed in it, as if he had fallen into a sea of stars, shuttling between endless nebulae, galaxies, and stars at the speed of light. It seemed to be a moment, but also an eternity. All kinds of energy in the universe were clearly visible.
He saw nebulae swirling, galaxies changing, and stars rising and falling …
That kind of mysterious feeling was hard to describe in words.
"This Hoary Head Mysterious Diagram is really a bit mysterious."
Li Mu was speechless.
He felt bursts of spiritual exhaustion.
Obviously, if his spiritual force had not been exhausted, he might still be immersed in the world of the diagram instead of automatically exiting it.
"But, where on earth is the effect of the diagram reflected?"
Li Mu glanced at himself and found that his spiritual force had not improved, the natural qi in his body had not increased, and his physical body had not been strengthened. Compared with before he visualized, his strength had not changed at all.
Another burst of tiredness hit him.
Li Mu did not dwell on this matter, but ran the Xiantian Skill several times to adjust his breath and recover. Gradually, the feeling of fatigue disappeared, and his spiritual force became full again.
"I don't know how much time has passed in the outside world this time."
Li Mu stood up.
Inadvertently, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a mirror next to him.
"Eh? This is … "His heart skipped a beat, and he was surprised to find that his black hair, which was as dense as steel needles, had actually … changed color?
Li Mu jumped in front of the mirror and looked at himself.
"What the hell, gray hair? This is the most popular hair color in China on the earth. When did I dye my hair … "He was a little confused. On second thought, he wondered if this was the effect of the Hoary Hair Supreme Mystery Sutra, which helped practitioners change their hair color.
"Hoary head?"
"Is it to make my hair white?"
"This is the f * cking function of Gou Dan."
"What the hell?"
"A painting deliberately hidden in the Nine Heavens Chong Ming Visualization Essentials by the original owner, which was called a secret treasure by the emperor of the Western Qin, is this the f * cking function?" "Is this a prank deliberately made by some guy who has nothing better to do?"
Li Mu felt powerless to complain.
He reached out and stroked his hair hard. It was indeed his hair, and it had indeed turned gray.
He forced a smile at himself in the mirror.
"Well, after turning gray, I became more mature and more handsome … Well, this is the evil and unruly style in the novel. Hahaha, interesting."
Li Mu was amused.
When he was amused, the anxious voice of the little attendant Qing Feng came from outside.
"Young Master, Young Master, something big happened in the county. You have to come out …"
Li Mu opened the door.
Outside the door, the little attendant Qing Feng, who had always been calm, looked anxious and angry. He hurriedly turned his wheelchair and said, "Young Master, there was a murder in the county. Ten county residents and six guards were killed, and their bodies were placed at the gate of the county government …"
"What?"
Li Mu was taken aback.
"How could such a thing happen?"
He activated the geomancy tactical deployment with his spiritual force and immediately noticed that there were more than a dozen foreign auras in the county. Among them, three were extremely powerful. One was at the peak of the Natural Realm, and the other two were peerless masters in the Celestial Being Realm. Their Cultivation Methods were strange, and he had never seen them before.
"Outsiders came."
"What's going on? Let's go and have a look. "
Li Mu's face became gloomy.
…
At the gate of the new county government.
Sixteen corpses were neatly placed.
The blood gathered into a blood pool at the gate of the county government, and then was frozen by the cold weather.
Mournful cries could be heard. The families of the victims had rushed over after hearing the news. They were all grief-stricken. Those who had died were all young and strong men, the pillars of their families. The women who had lost their husbands wailed as if the sky had collapsed. The white-haired old man who had lost his son fainted at the gate of the county government the moment he saw his dead son.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
It had been a long time since such a sad thing had happened in Taibai County.
Seeing Li Mu, the county residents all knelt on the ground.
"The county magistrate is here."
"The just and honorable lord will uphold justice for us."
"Dad, dad, wake up … Ooh, Pebble will be obedient and never sneak out to play in the water again." It was the cry of a young child.
When Li Mu saw Feng Yuanxing and the others, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Who's the murderer? "
"Well …" Feng Yuanxing was speechless and didn't know what to say.
He was not a fool. The 16 dead young men were all people who stood out this morning because Huang Wenyuan flirted with Shangguan Yuting. Although there was no direct evidence, the motive was too obvious. Who else could the murderer be? It must be the new county magistrate. However, this matter was of great importance. With so many people in front of him, it was hard for him to say.
Li Mu said angrily, "Tell me, who is it? If you have anything to say, make it clear in front of the villagers. "
He was angry.
Very angry.
No matter who it was, he must pay for what he did today.
