The counterattack of the villains

The next morning.

Immersed in cultivation, feeling the ever-increasing spiritual power in the dantian, Sedum, who didn't feel bored at all, was awakened by the soft call of Solanum nigrum.

He refined the last breath of spiritual energy into spiritual power, and after returning to his dantian, he opened his eyes.

Turning his head to look, he saw Solanum nigrum sitting beside him with legs curled up, asking puzzledly, "Sister, what's wrong?"

Solanum nigrum pointed to the outside and said: "It's already dawn, Brother Li is calling you outside!"

Only then did Sedum realize that it was already bright outside the window, she stood up and stretched, and there was a crackling sound all over her body.

"Is it already dawn? I don't think it's been long."

Xu Shi heard Jing Tian's words, Li Mu pushed the door in and asked with a smile: "I practiced all night, how do you feel?"

Jing Tian laughed and said, "I don't know what other people are like, but I don't feel bored at all."

"Watching my spiritual power rise little by little, it feels very refreshing. If no one wakes me up, I think I can keep practicing like this."

Li Mu couldn't help but laugh, he probably could understand Sedum's feelings.

It's like playing an online game. Watching one's combat strength keep rising, one will have a mentality of wanting to stop and not wanting to go offline.

But there is a premise for this, that is, the speed of improvement must be fast to a certain extent, at least to be visible to the naked eye, and he is constantly getting stronger.

For ordinary practitioners to cultivate, the speed of improvement really cannot reach the level visible to the naked eye, and it takes ten to twenty years of gradual accumulation.

Only people like sedum, which is equivalent to opening up, can experience the obvious pleasure of rapidly improving cultivation base.

After all, in the original plot, this guy only practiced for less than [-] days, and he was able to join forces with Xu Changqing to kill the evil sword fairy.

The time when he competed with Chonglou in the God Realm was not counted, because it was the Heavenly Emperor's secret technique that temporarily restored him to Fei Peng's full strength, and it could only last for four hours.

But apart from this time, he fought all other battles with his own strength.

"Very good, keep this state, you will soon become a peerless master."

Li Mu encouraged, and then said: "Let's go, Master and the others are waiting for you, so it's time for us to set off."

Sedum embraced Solanum nigrum's shoulders, and said vigorously: "Let's go, save the world with my brother."

Solanum nigrum couldn't help but pursed its lips into a smile, looking at Sedum with eyes full of admiration and attachment.

……

Promise Pavilion.

Holding a bright silver helmet in her hand, Qing Wei asked Jing Tian with a smile: "Little brother, do you still recognize this?"

Sedum stared at the helmet with bright eyes, and said excitedly: "I know it, of course I know it."

"Oh?"

Both Jiang Juezhi and the five elders' eyes lit up, but Jing Tianxia's words left everyone speechless.

"How can I not recognize valuable things?" Sedum leaned forward with a bewildered face, took the helmet and kept stroking it.

Qingwei asked patiently: "What else?"

After playing with the helmet for a while, Sedum gradually became thoughtful, and said slowly: "I...have seen this somewhere before."

Solanum nigrum beside him said excitedly: "Brother, you have not only seen it, but also used it, this is your thing!"

Sedum was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Solanum nigrum, and said, "Is this my thing?"

Li Mu said, "This is indeed yours, because it is the helmet of the battle armor worn by God General Fei Peng, and Long Yang also wore it on the battlefield."

"But now you, it's best not to wear it, because you don't have enough power to control it, and wearing it will do more harm than good."

Sedum asked: "Then when can I wear it?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "At least you must have Long Yang's cultivation. I believe you know better than anyone else what Long Yang is."

Jing Tian calculated for a moment, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "With my current cultivation speed, I can wear it in at most three months."

Li Mu looked him up and down with a strange expression, and said with a half-smile: "There's a helmet on your head, but you're wearing a cloth on your body. It looks like neither fish nor fowl, are you sure you want to wear it?"

Jing Tian paused when he heard the words, looked at Qing Wei with a tangled face, and said, "Old man, is there only a helmet? Where's the armor?"

Qing Wei shook her head and said, "Shushan faction only has helmets and no armor."

Li Mu patted Sedum on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't think about it anymore, the armor should be in the hands of the Emperor of Heaven. If you want to make a set, go ask the Emperor of Heaven after you arrive in the God Realm!"

Sedum said disappointedly: "Oh, that's fine!"

Jiang Juezhi and the others explained a few more words, Li Mu also went to say goodbye to Nu Yuan and Jiang Wan'er, and then went down the mountain with Sedum and Solanum nigrum.

……

Yongan Dang.

Tang Xuejian, Xu Maoshan, and Li Xiaoyao sat around the table. On the table in front of them, a five-poison beast that looked like a potato and had six leaf-like wings on its back was flapping its wings and babbling wearing something.

This potato is the fourth heroine of Xiansan, Jacaranda. The poisoning incident last time exhausted her a lot, and she had been in a deep sleep.

It was Li Xiaoyao who lost some spiritual power, and she woke up, but now she can only maintain the state of the five poisonous beasts.

"We're back!"

Suddenly Sedum shouted outside the door, and the three of them looked happy, and they all got up and went out, just in time to see the magic sword twirling in mid-air, and returned to the scabbard on Sedum's back by itself.

"Boss, brother Li, sister Solanum nigrum, you are back!"

Li Mu smiled and nodded to several people, then asked Li Xiaoyao: "Did Biping send to Diancang Mountain?"

Li Xiaoyao said: "Master, don't worry, this disciple saw Master Lin take him in with his own eyes before leaving."

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's good, since that's the case, everyone get ready, we'll set off today."

Tang Xuejian said: "My things are already packed, there is nothing to prepare."

Xu Maoshan said: "Except for food, other luggage is ready."

As for Li Xiaoyao, this guy was already alone, he didn't bring anything with him when he came here, the only valuable thing on his body was the Wuchen sword on his back.

This sword is hidden deep in the bottom of the Nanzhao Trial Cave, in the tomb of the Empress Nuwa. It is an ancient divine sword of the same level as the Suppressing Demon Sword and Demon Sword.

This sword is said to mean that the sky will collapse, and the earth will be split, and its power is unparalleled.

This is not a lie, its power limit can indeed reach this level.

The only problem is that it depends on the person, it does not have such power in the hands of anyone.

Just like the Suppressing Demon Sword and Demon Sword, they are nothing in Sedum's hands, but in Fei Peng's hands, they really have the power to split the world.

When ready, Li Mu announced his departure.

In the yard, Jing Tian hugged Ding Shiyan and told him: "Ding Bo, you have to take good care of yourself!"

Ding Shiyan choked with sobs and said, "You should also take care, and listen to Sect Leader Li on the way, and don't be impulsive when things happen."

He watched Sedum grow up, and now that he is suddenly going away, he feels like an old father who always has to leave when the child grows up.

Sedum patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, I will."

After saying goodbye, Li Mu made arrangements: "Sister Solanum Kui, is it okay for Yu Jian to take your brother and Xue Jian?"

Solanum nigrum thought for a while, and said: "The first stop is Anning Village, not far away, I'm fine."

Li Mu nodded and said: "Okay, Xiaoyao is taking Mao Mao, if Huaying is afraid that he won't be able to keep up, he can stay on Xue Jian's body and don't need to fly by himself."

Huaying hurriedly nodded her potato-like head, and flew straight to Tang Xuejian's shoulders and lay down.

They all knew that Li Mufei didn't use Yujian, so they didn't have any objection to him not taking anyone with him.

As a disciple of the Diancang School, Li Xiaoyao originally learned the flying method of combining human and sword, and the body transforming into light.

However, he felt that although he was fast, he was not handsome enough. On the contrary, flying with a sword was more handsome, so he also learned the Shushan school's method of controlling a sword.

Not only is the flying method, but also the sword art is the master of both schools.

Although Li Mu can also use Fang Tianji to lead people, but to be honest, it is really not comfortable to ride Fang Tianji.

Only the head of the halberd is relatively wide, which is suitable for standing. The shaft of the halberd is too thin, making it very uncomfortable to stand or sit on.

Regardless of whether it is the Demon Sword or the Wuchen Sword, they are all palm-width swords, and it is much easier to stand on them.

After getting ready, Li Mu said "Go", and the two swords rose steadily. After reaching a height of about two hundred feet, they flew forward side by side.

In order to take care of their speed, Li Mu didn't even wrap the escape light, and directly launched Tianlong Zhan, flying with his body.

Xu Maoshan held onto Li Xiaoyao's shoulders tremblingly, and said, "Xiaoyao, I seldom fly, may I wear a seat belt?"

Li Xiaoyao said dumbfoundedly: "Don't be afraid, just hold on to me, I won't fall."

"Oh!" Xu Maoshan responded, and then hugged Li Xiaoyao's waist.

On the other side, Solanum nigrum was holding the sword in front of her, and Sedum had her hands on her shoulders. Tang Xuejian was just like Xu Maoshan, wrapping her arms around Sedum's waist, and clung to his back.

Feeling the softness behind his back, Jing Tian felt a little distracted, fortunately he wasn't holding the sword, otherwise there would definitely be an air crash.

Anning Village is not far from Yuzhou, within an hour, the destination is already in sight, and if you walk, you have to walk for at least four or five days.

It was a bit difficult for Solanum nigrum to fly with two people. After all, she has no spiritual power on her body, and she uses her soul power to control the flight of the magic sword with her mind power.

For a monk with a physical body, spiritual power is just a kind of energy.

But soul power is not only energy for a spirit body, but also its own life. Excessive consumption will cause problems.

So even though they had only been flying for less than an hour, they had to stop and rest.

But it took four or five days in one hour, which is not low efficiency.

Besides, Sedum had to be given time to practice and learn sword art.

A group of people landed outside Anning Village, and then walked into the village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw several farmers carrying hoes, preparing to work in the fields, and peasant women also carrying vegetable baskets, preparing to pick vegetables in the garden.

Unexpectedly, when they saw Li Mu and his party, they immediately stepped forward, with a look of surprise on their faces, and whispered something together.

Except for Xu Maoshan, all of them have cultivation bases, and they can hear their murmurs clearly.

"Who are these people? Do you know them?"

"I haven't seen it before, is it a stranger?"

"should be."

After confirming that Li Mu and his party were foreigners, all the villagers dispersed in a rush, and the entrance of the village became empty in an instant.

A gust of wind blew by, and it was a bit deserted and desolate.

Sedum said messily: "Do we look that scary?"

Xu Maoshan asked in a daze: "Is it because you two are carrying swords?"

Sedum and Li Xiaoyao sized each other up, and couldn't help but get even more messy, they're both pretty handsome!

Li Xiaoyao struggled and said: "The one carrying the sword is not necessarily a bad guy, maybe he is a hero?"

Jing Tian echoed, "That's right, what's wrong with the people in this village?"

Tang Xue asked, "Why don't you ask someone first?"

Jing Tian pointed at the empty street, and said helplessly: "There is not even a ghost left, who can I ask?"

Li Mu was not messy at all, and walked straight forward, saying: "This village is weird, something must have happened."

"As an experience for you, this incident is up to you to resolve. Unless your lives are in danger, I will not intervene."

Sedum and Li Xiaoyao looked at each other, then at Tang Xuejian and Solanum nigrum, and the four of them nodded in unison.

Li Xiaoyao asked Jingtian: "Grandpa Jingtian, what should we do now?"

Jing Tian stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Find an inn to settle down first, and then try to find out the situation in the village."

Li Xiaoyao agreed, "Good idea. The best place to get the most information is the inn. We can ask the innkeeper."

Sedum's eyes lit up, and said: "That's right, let's go."

A group of people wandered around the village for a while, it can be said that everyone was hiding.

Not long after, the news of foreigners coming to the village spread throughout the village, and the villagers went home one after another, at most secretly watching them through the cracks in the doors and windows.

However, they found the inn very quickly, but when they entered, the shopkeeper said that it was full.

They took the opportunity to inquire about the situation in the village, and they knew that because Anning Village was located outside the ancient vine forest, it was a necessary place to go from south to north, so the passenger flow was relatively large, and there were five inns in the village.

The shopkeeper just told them this news and asked them to go to another house to see, and he refused to say anything about other more news.

They had no choice but to go to the next one, but they asked four in a row and they all said they were full.

They had to go to the last and largest one, the inn located in the northwest of the village.

It was a courtyard house with three entrances. Although it occupied a large area, the building was very simple and incomparable to the courtyard houses in towns.

On the string of lanterns in front of the old gate, there are three blank papers with the words "An Ning Zhan" written on it, without even a plaque.

Jing Tian went first, walked into the lobby of the inn swaggeringly, and said loudly: "Boss, we want six guest rooms."

The shopkeeper standing behind the counter smiled and said: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, the shop is full today, everyone go to another place to have a look!"

Sedum finally got angry, patted the counter, and shouted: "It's full again, all the inns are full, you really have so many guests in this small village?"

Seeing that Sedum was carrying a sword, the shopkeeper didn't dare to get angry and chase people away, so he still smiled apologetically: "Yes, yes, there are indeed a little more customers these days."

Li Mu smiled, pulled up the luggage and turned around for a while, Xu Maoshan, who was already as tired as a dead dog, sat down at a table in the lobby.

"Shopkeeper, the guest rooms are full. I think the lobby is quite empty, and I can't live in the store. It's okay to be a top-notch, right?"

The shopkeeper said helplessly, "No problem, of course no problem."

He said to the shop boy who was bored and sat at the table: "Six, go tell the kitchen and prepare a table of meals."

"Oh!" Xiaoer just got up and went to the back kitchen.

Seeing this, Tang Xue also pulled Solanum nigrum and sat down.

Jing Tian rolled his eyes, winked at Li Xiaoyao, and said, "People have three urgencies, I'll go to a latrine first."

Li Xiaoyao understood instantly, and immediately said, "I'm going too."

After the two walked out of the lobby, they came back after a full cup of tea.

Jing Tian angrily walked to the counter, pointed at the shopkeeper and said, "You, come out with me."

The shopkeeper said with a confused face: "What's the matter?"

Jing Tian just stared at the shopkeeper, while Li Xiaoyao shouted, "Come out."

The shopkeeper was startled, and walked out of the counter tremblingly, and then was grabbed by the shoulder by Sedum, and dragged outside.

Seeing that Tang Xue and Solanum nigrum were about to get up and keep up, Li Mu pressed his hands and said, "No need, no accident, they will have a room when they come back."

The two women sat down again and asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Li Mudao: "What do you think Sedum and Xiaoyao were doing just now? They probably have figured out the situation in the inn right now."

Solanum nigrum said thoughtfully: "So, the inn should not have no rooms, so why did the shopkeeper refuse us to stay?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't ask me, this is exactly your mission, you have to find out."

Not long after, Jing Tian and Li Xiaoyao followed the shopkeeper back to the lobby. Tang Xuejian hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it? What's the situation in this inn?"

Jing Tian said to Li Xiaoyao: "Xiaoyao, go and sign the certificate of life and death with the shopkeeper."

"it is good."

Li Xiaoyao followed the shopkeeper to the counter, but Tang Xuejian was taken aback and asked in amazement, "What is the status of life and death? Is the shopkeeper going to fight us?"

"No, sit down and talk!" Sedum pulled Tang Xuejian to sit at the table, and said to everyone: "That's what happened. Recently, in this village, people often die suddenly and strangely."

"The person who died suddenly did not have any injuries. After an autopsy, there was no sign of poisoning. He died inexplicably."

"A few days ago, a person died in this inn. The government is still investigating, and there is no clue."

"The inns in the village are afraid of being involved in a lawsuit of human life, so they dare not accept guests to stay overnight until the government finds out the truth."

Solanum nigrum suddenly said: "So if we want to live here, we have to sign a certificate of life and death with the shopkeeper. If something happens to any of us, the inn will not be responsible."

Sedum nodded and said, "That's it."

Li Mu asked, "Then what do you think about this matter?"

Jing Tian said seriously: "Old Li, although you don't intend to intervene in this incident, you also know that I have no experience in the world, and if you don't talk about some things, I don't understand anything at all."

"If you want me to gain experience, you have to teach me something. At least you have to let me understand, what am I facing?"

Li Mu nodded approvingly and said, "That makes sense, well, I can give you a hint."

"There are three situations in which people die suddenly without injuries, poisoning, or even symptoms."

"First, if there are monsters or ghosts harvesting yang to replenish yin, the dead's yang energy will be exhausted, and they will naturally not be able to survive."

"Secondly, there are demons who inhale human qi to practice evil methods. Essence qi is the same as yang qi. It is the foundation of human life. If the essence is lost, the body functions will stop functioning, and it will naturally become a corpse."

"The last is the soul. I don't need to say much about this. If a person loses his soul, even if he is not dead, he is just a walking corpse."

"So, you only need to investigate in these directions, and basically there will be no mistakes."

Jing Tian concluded: "Regardless of what happened in the village, which of these three items, in short, these people who died suddenly were killed by others."

"In fact, we don't need to think about how the murderer killed the deceased. All we need to do is to catch the murderer, right?"

Li Mu shrugged and said, "You can think so."

Jing Tian nodded and said: "Then I know what to do, as long as the murderer still wants to attack, he will always be caught by us."

Li Mu said with a smile, "Okay, then I'll watch your performance by Hero Jing."

In the original plot, Wan Yuzhi carried an inexplicable blame.

Now that there is no Wan Yuzhi to disturb his sight, and Li Xiaoyao is his helper, Li Mu really wants to know if they can catch Luo Rulie.
