Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 236 Chapter 235, God Catcher, the world is beautiful
Mu Qingxue floated in the air, her upper body leaned forward, and her wings patted lightly. The gorgeous feathers, cast like gold and condensed like light, drew elegant light marks like tassels in the night.

She held Shen Lang's palm with her soft, delicate, white and slender hands, and unfolded her visor, revealing a pure, sweet, indescribable jade-like face, with the corners of her lips raised, revealing a touching smile, and stars shining in her clear eyes like glow.

"I succeeded."

"I know. Congratulations."

"I wanted to be the first to share it with you, but after I left the customs, I didn't see you. I'm a little unhappy."

"Sorry. But I have a case to investigate."

"So I'm just a little bit unhappy, but not angry."

Mu Qingxue smiled slightly, folded her golden wings, and slowly landed on the ground with both feet.

Afterwards, the golden armor on her body first turned into layers of thin gold foil, quickly folded and compressed, and then turned into a golden solution, dripping towards her wrists respectively.

In the end, the entire pair of thick and heavy golden battle armor turned into two gold wristbands that were only two inches long and glowed with a faint purple light.

Shen Lang, of course, how good is the malleability of gold.

But turning the whole suit of armor into two small and exquisite gold wristbands was a bit beyond his imagination.

It's almost like Iron Man's nano suit!

Seeing Shen Lang's amazed expression, Mu Qingxue smiled sweetly and explained:
"This is a wristband made of 'black gold sand'. When I returned to Yingzhou from Jiange Island last year, didn't I pick up a small jar of black gold sand in the sea? After returning to Beijing, I will ask Master Yan to help me forge it. This pair of wrist guards. It can be turned into a battle armor by activating it with stellar energy. As for the wings, it can be manifested directly with stellar energy."

Mu Qingxue, who had taken off her battle armor, was wearing a black men's suit.

In other words, the uniform of the God Catching Hall is black, and the captors usually like to wear black casual clothes.

This is because black is more solemn and solemn, and the second is that the captors are on the go, so black clothes are more dirty.

Thirdly, it is not easy to see blood splashes on black clothes, and there is no need to change and clean them from time to time.

Of course, even if Mu Qingxue's cultivation reached the level of Mu Qingxue, even if he kills seven in and seven out of thousands of troops, he may not be splashed with a single drop of blood.

Shen Lang let go of Mu Qingxue's palm, raised his hand to caress her cheek:

"I rushed over to support me just after I left the customs, thank you for your hard work."

Mu Qingxue smiled sweetly, gently pressed the back of his hand with her palm, and rubbed her cheek against his palm:

"It's my duty to do so. By the way, how is the investigation going?"

Now that he was talking about the business, Shen Lang put down his hands and said solemnly:
"Master Yan told you about the case I reported before, right?"

Mu Qingxue nodded slightly:

"Yes. I know everything about the case before."

"Then I won't introduce the previous situation anymore, just talk about the investigation situation after I came to Wuyang Mansion..."

Shen Lang started from his investigation of the "Wind Chaser", until he felt that there were problems outside Hu Yuan, or the mines in the entire Tongshan County.

When he was telling the case, he was also sighing in his heart, falling in love with Mu Qingxue would be a romantic affair.

The two usually have to practice separately, when they get together, they talk about either practice or cases.

But having said that, Shen Lang felt that this way of getting along was not bad, at least it was more fulfilling.

After listening to Shen Lang's introduction, Mu Qingxue hugged her chest with one hand, rested her chin with the other, pondered for a while, and said:

"Has the situation of the Hu Family Mine been confirmed?"

"I'm waiting for you to come, I haven't gone to check it myself. But I have sent Xiao Gu to check it."

Mu Qingxue already knew that Xiao Gu was a goblin raised by Shen Lang's family, so she was not surprised when she heard that, she nodded slightly, and looked at Shen Wu who had been turning her back to them all the time:
"He is Shen Wu, the head disciple of the Chasing Wind Sect?"

"Yes." Shen Lang nodded, and greeted Shen Wu: "Brother Shen, this is Mu Qingxue, the head of the God Catchment Hall."

Shen Wu was slightly startled, and turned to look at Mu Qingxue, his eyes were full of unconcealable shock.

"Ruthless Iron Judgment" Mu Qingxue, one of the third-rank god catchers in the God Catch Hall, the youngest third-rank martial artist in the present age, his talent is dazzling, comparable to the last years of the previous dynasty, when the heroes were fighting for hegemony, each of them emerged in endlessly, leaving a mark in the history books The name of the peerless warrior——

Fighting for hegemony in troubled times, the sky is murderous, luck is boiling, disputes are fierce, and blood is raging.

Among the warriors who have been honed in battles and battles, the probability of appearing top-level powerhouses is much higher than in the peaceful era. In just 30 years, five martial arts masters have appeared one after another.

As for third-rank warriors in their late teens and early twenties, there are endless streams of them.

Of course they all die faster.

All of them are like shooting stars. They only rose today and achieved amazing results. Tomorrow, they might be surrounded and beaten to death by a group of people, or slaughtered by stronger people.

Mu Qingxue didn't have so many bloody and cruel opportunities to hone in the war-torn years, but she was ranked third rank at that time. This kind of peerless talent made countless people in the world envy and jealous.

There are also countless young warriors who have made her their idol.

Of course, what Mu Qingxue is most famous for is not her talent in martial arts.

But her head is hard and ruthless.

She is obviously a woman, but her actions are extremely ruthless and ruthless. She once wiped out 27 bandit villages in Heiyan Mountain overnight, beheaded nearly a thousand bandits, and even had such a pair of women as "ruthless iron judgment" Speaking of which, it's a very unfriendly title.

Of course, after Shen Wu came into contact with Shen Lang, he felt that the title bestowed by the Jianghu people was most likely to be smeared and slandered.

Shen Lang Shen arrested the head, such a person who is so eager to be righteous and has a bodhisattva heart, is actually called "Cold-Blooded Human Butcher". Mu Qingxue's "ruthless iron sentence" obviously does not represent her true love. character.

but……

Mu Tutou is really beautiful and strong!

Shen Wu felt that he might never forget the scene of Mu Qingxue falling from the sky for the rest of his life.

That majestic golden armor, that gorgeous and majestic golden wings, that godlike aura...

Shen Butou is so lucky!

To show affection in front of me, a bachelor, or to show affection with Mu Butou, I really want to give him a knife!
Shen Wu thought brokenly in his heart, and bowed to Mu Qingxue:
"Shen Wu from the Chasing Wind Faction, I pay my respects to Mu Butou."

In front of outsiders, Mu Qingxue habitually returned to that cold and majestic appearance, and said lightly: "Don't be too polite."

He said to Shen Lang again:

"The murder of Cheng Xin and Guan Yue was discovered by you at first, and you have been investigating along the way, so you will lead the whole process of investigating the case. I am only in charge of doing it."

Shen Lang nodded:
"Okay. Then, let's find out the problems in the mining area first."

After a pause, he continued:

"The little bone is back, first ask what it found."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a transparent skeleton phantom floating in the night ahead.

After floating in front of Shen Lang, the phantom of the ghostly skeleton suddenly changed from virtual to real, and turned into a small skeleton with crystal clear jade bones and glazed luster.

Seeing this little skeleton for the first time, Rao Yishen Wu's courage, couldn't help being a little frightened.

At the same time, he also recalled that when he exited from the entrance of the valley, Shen Lang waved his hand towards the valley, as if something had been released.

Now it seems that what he released was exactly this little skeleton that could turn into a phantom.

"Sure enough, all the headhunters in the God-Catching Hall have supernatural powers! No wonder there are rumors in the world that every head-hunter in the God-Catching Hall has the ability to match four or five enemies in the same realm!"

When Shen Wu secretly sighed, Shen Lang said to the little skull:

"What did you see?"

Xiaogu opened and closed his teeth, habitually clicked twice, and told Shen Lang what he saw through telepathic communication.

Shen Lang's eyes sank, and he looked at Mu Qingxue:
"Xiaogu said that the mine is still in operation, and the miners who are working in the mine or those who have rested are wearing shackles on their feet. There are supervisors in the mine, all of them are vicious, but if the mining action is a little slow, there will be no trouble." mercilessly whipped.

"Xiaogu is still deep in the mine, and found a sinkhole. Hundreds of corpses have accumulated at the bottom of the sinkhole, some have been decomposed into skeletons, and some are newly dead. The newly dead are all as thin as skeletons , full of scars, either starved to death, exhausted to death, or tortured to death by whipping."

Hearing this, Mu Qingxue's cold and bright eyes were faintly ignited with anger, and said:
"The Hu family's mine is a private mine. According to the law, miners who committed serious crimes and were sent to the mine to serve hard labor cannot be used. Prisoners of war are also not allowed to be used."

Shen Lang nodded:
"Private mine owners can only recruit regular miners."

Mu Qingxue sneered:
"But according to Xiaogu's observation, the Hu Family Copper Mine employs miners even more ruthlessly than the official mine employs felons and prisoners of war."

For official mines, although felons and prisoners of war are not worthy of sympathy, they are all important free labor, which can greatly save mine operating costs.

Besides, there are strict regulations on the loss rate for repeat offenders and prisoners of war. If the loss exceeds the upper limit, the mine supervisor will have to pay for additional manpower.

Therefore, although the official mines also squeezed repeat criminals and prisoners of war extremely hard, at least they would not easily torment them to death.

Shen Lang said:
"It seems that regardless of whether Yuanwai Hu is related to the deaths of Cheng Xin and Guan Yue, his family's mines should be severely rectified. The private mines in the entire Tongshan County should also be severely rectified."

Hearing this, Shen Wu looked ashamed:
"It's because I didn't know people well, and I didn't do any on-the-spot investigations, so I introduced Junior Brother Cheng and Junior Sister Guan over here, so that they worked as minions and made big mistakes..."

Shen Lang patted him on the shoulder lightly:

"Brother Shen may have been negligent, but it is justifiable. After all, although you were a beggar when you were young, after you went up the mountain ten years ago, you were valued by the head of Zhou and respected by your brothers and sisters. You lived a good life for ten years. I'm afraid that I have gradually forgotten the sinister human heart.

"Mr. Hu is a businessman, and he is still the kind of black-hearted businessman. It is instinctive to fake. Brother Shen is a warrior, and it is normal to be deceived by black-hearted businessmen."

In fact, until now, Shen Lang still has doubts about Shen Wu - this is not suspicious, but the basic quality of a head catcher.

However, he somewhat believed that Shen Wu really didn't know the real situation of Hu's mine.

Shen Wu, as the head disciple with the highest martial arts of the younger generation of the Chasing Wind Sect, as long as he doesn't die halfway, he will definitely inherit the mantle of the head and take charge of the sect in the future.

And the Chasing Wind Sect is at least the largest sect in Wuyang Mansion. They have many properties under their name. They want money, money, and land. They still pay taxes according to the regulations and obey the government's management.

Shen Wu, who has a bright future, why bother to collude with member Hu to open a black hole and taint himself?

Besides, if Shen Wuzhen was greedy for money, then he saved Miss Hu's family the year before last, and when member Hu wanted to marry a daughter, he should have agreed to it—in Shen Lang's view, the logic of member Hu marrying a daughter is by no means simple To repay Shen Wu's kindness of "hero saving the beauty".

I'm afraid he even wants to take advantage of Shenwu's status as the head disciple of the Wind Chasing Sect to join the Wind Chasing Sect and attract the Wind Chasing Sect as an ally.

It's a pity that Shen Wu was preparing to condense the seeds of true qi at that time to hit the fourth rank, probably because he felt that women would only affect his speed of chasing the wind, so he politely rejected Hu's kindness.

But member Hu didn't become angry from embarrassment, I'm afraid it's not because of any "bright nature", but just wants to maintain a friendly relationship with Shen Wu, slowly win over Shen Wu, and then win over the Wind Chaser faction.

With Shen Wu's recommendation letter, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue immediately "made a lot of money" after working for only three months. I am afraid that it is precisely because Hu Yuanwai has always had schemes against Shen Wu and the Chaser faction.

Shen Lang always likes to deduce various "possibility" when investigating cases.

At the beginning, Bai Shishi was caused by his "possibility" one after another, so that his confidence and belief collapsed, and he finally boarded his boat, abandoning the dark and turning to the bright.

But now, after confirming that there is indeed a ghost in the Hu family's mine, Shen Lang couldn't help wondering over and over again about the members of the Hu family, deducing various "possibility", and trying to connect these possibilities with Cheng Xin and Guan Yue being captured and fed to the monster. things linked together.

The nest of the four-winged demon owl is full of bones...

Among those skeletons, although there are some tough and strong bones, at least warriors who have "refined muscles and bones", more of them are ordinary people...

Hu members opened black kilns and illegally used mine slaves...

They didn't treat miners as human beings, they squeezed them wantonly, and when they died, they threw them into the sinkhole...

So, are all miners tortured to death?

Is there such a possibility that most of the miners will be tortured to death and thrown into the tiankeng, while a small number of miners who are strong, but extremely rebellious and have high management costs will be sent to other places?
Cheng Xin and Guan Yue have not been here for a long time, and they are amateurs in the Jianghu who have just come out of Yicheng. They are still young, and their hearts may not be so vicious.

The two of them may have only done security work on the outskirts of the mine before, and had never been in the mine. They knew a little about the miserable experience of the miners, but they didn't feel the same way. For the sake of money, they could turn a blind eye and close one eye .

But on the day of the first or second day of the new year, they returned to Tongshan County to work. In the mine, or at the Hu family, they accidentally discovered something that exceeded their bottom line. Do something, but accidentally expose...

Well, Cheng Xin and Guan Yue thought too well of this possibility.

However, Shen Lang still prefers to believe in the brilliance of human nature.

After all, even pirates have heroes, and there are people worth saving.

Windchasers are always more decent than pirates, right?

Since it is the Baidao sect, it is not an evil heretic, so it will not teach inhumane disciples.

Although Cheng Xin and Guan Yue have the eager desire to change their family circumstances, as elder brothers and elder sisters who are willing to work tirelessly and work hard for their parents and younger siblings, they have a compassionate and kind side in their nature.

It is also possible to suddenly discover conscience.

However, Shen Lang did not make this inference public.

There is no conclusive evidence, but based on the few clues, it is a bit unreliable to make wild guesses.

Even the situation reported by Xiaogu, Shen Lang had to go into the mine to witness it with his own eyes, to see how vicious these black hole operators can be.

At that moment, Shen Lang said to Shen Wu:
"Brother Shen, stay here and help us watch the wind. Mu Tutou and I sneaked into the mining area and checked it out ourselves."

Shen Wu nodded in response, watching Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue leave side by side under the guidance of the little skull that turned into a phantom again, completely unaware that when Shen Lang just patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, he slapped a "water mirror appraiser" The curse mark of "Spell" was left on his shoulder.

He also didn't notice that after Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue walked more than ten feet, a kitten silently jumped out of Shen Lang's palm, entered the forest beside the road, climbed to the top of the tree a few times, and stared at it ten feet apart. stared at him.

"You don't trust him?"

After Mu Qingxue was promoted to the second rank, the insights gained from refining the "Tianmu Point" became stronger, and she saw that Shen Lang had tampered with Shen Wu's shoulders.

As for releasing Xiao Zhao and monitoring Shen Wu, he did not hide it from her.

"I just have reasonable doubts about him. At present, it seems that Shen Wu is less suspected, but it still cannot be said that he is completely innocent. I wonder if he will do something inappropriate when we are not around him."

"Well, it should be."

"By the way, Qingxue..."

"What did you call me?"

"...Master Mu?"

"Well. Whenever your strength surpasses mine, you can call me Qingxue, Sister Qing, Sister Xue, Xueer, whatever you want. You can call me Xiaomu."

"..."

"By the way, what did you want to say before?"

"Already forgotten."

"Arguing?"

"How come, I'm not a child. If I interrupt you, I really forgot what to say."

"Not a child, but younger than me."

"..."

After a brief sound transmission conversation, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue restrained their energy, and under the guidance of Xiao Gu, they easily avoided the guard post at the Gukou Castle and entered the valley.

Inside the valley, there are scattered houses. In a few neat wooden houses, there are supervisors and guards, and in the simple shacks, there are crowded miners who are scantily clad, covered in black, skinny, and wearing shackles.

Almost every miner has welts of old and new.

Naturally, there were guards in the valley on duty at night, and they were basically warriors of the lower third rank. With Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue's cultivation, they could easily evade their eyes and ears, sneaking freely in the valley to check on the situation of the miners.

After seeing the situation of the miners, the two continued to sneak deeper, and in the middle of the valley, they saw a three-story wooden building surrounded by courtyard walls.

Shen Lang was more than ten feet away, and scanned the small building with mental power, and was slightly taken aback:
"A sixth-rank warrior is guarding the door? Is there still a 'big shot' living in the building?"

There is a porter on the first floor of the small building, and there are two sixth-rank warriors sitting in the porter, their skills are quite deep, and they are not far from fifth-rank.

There were only two people on the third floor of the small building, one was just an ordinary person, and the other seemed to be an ordinary person in body and aura, but when Shen Lang's mental power swept over that person, he noticed a faint wave of primordial power.

Is it still a Taoist monk?
But a serious Taoist monk, even if it is only the ninth rank, as long as he has practiced the formal concept, he can control the primordial power very well, and it will not easily escape, and people will be aware of it in the air.

So, is he a monk of Yeluzi?

Shen Lang told Mu Qingxue of his discovery via sound transmission.

Mu Qingxue could perceive the auras of the two sixth-rank warriors and the two "ordinary people", but she couldn't perceive the weak fluctuations of the primordial power.

It has to be seen face to face with the naked eye in order to see the clues with the insight given by the "Tianmu Point".

"Are you sure it's a monk? Even if it's just a wild monk, I'm afraid he won't be willing to help people guard mines in this deep mountain and old forest. Unless he is from the Hu family."

"Not sure, just a suspicion."

"Is it possible to judge its cultivation level?"

"No. But I can't even control the power of the primordial spirit well, and I didn't notice it when I spied from the air. The cultivation level should be only the third rank."

"Then go to the mine to check it first, and then come back and arrest this person for questioning?"

"it is good."

At the moment, the two left the three-story small wooden building for the time being, and sneaked towards the entrance of the mine under the guidance of Xiaogu who turned into a shadow.

Of course, there are people guarding the mouth of the well.

And the wellhead is narrow, there is no space for detour.

However, Shen Lang just casually cast the "Soul Stimulating Curse", which made the two seventh-rank warriors guarding the mouth of the well stupefied. Even though Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue swaggered past them, the two did not respond.

"The Hu family's mine is too guarded. There are four sixth-rank warriors alone, and more than ten seventh-rank warriors. There is also a monk who seems to be Yeluzi... The Hu family does not mine ore in the mine. The ores are all transported out, and there are a few natural copper nuggets in the mine, is it worth such strict security?"

Don't look at the sixth-rank and seventh-rank warriors who are vulnerable in front of Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue, but the sixth-rank warriors can be regarded as the upper-middle-level powerhouses in a mere county.

You know, back then in the Changsheng county government, there wasn't even a head catcher with a sixth-rank martial arts.

Even though there are copper mines in Tongshan County, which is far richer than Changsheng County and can afford more seventh-rank and sixth-rank warriors, is it necessary for Hu Yuanwai to guard the mine with such a strong force?
As for those skinny miners, even if hundreds of them swarmed up, they couldn't beat a sixth-rank martial artist in perfect condition.

Four sixth-rank warriors, more than ten seventh-rank warriors, and one Taoist monk.

Can those who open copper mines not treat money as money?
Mu Qingxue also felt suspicious, so she said via voice transmission:
"Perhaps, this is not an ordinary copper mine."

Shen Lang nodded:
"Xiaogu's field of vision is different from that of living beings. It is convenient to find people, but they can't distinguish ores. We can see the root cause when we see it ourselves."

The two went down into the mine, followed Xiao Gu to sneak along the mine tunnel, and came to the depths of the mine, where they saw many miners mining overnight.There are also many ferocious supervisors who patrol around with whips, whipping them everywhere.

After seeing those miners working with their own eyes, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue finally understood why the Hu family's mine was so heavily guarded.

I saw a miner go down with a pickaxe and knock down a stone.After the stone fell, there was an additional pit on the wall of the mine, and under the light of the hanging lamp, there were dots of golden light shining.

This is not a copper mine, this is clearly a gold mine!
"It's no wonder the Hu family uses such a strong force to guard the mine! No wonder they rush to start work on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and no wonder the wages for supervisors and guards are so high...it turns out it's a gold mine!"

Of course, this is not a pure gold mine. After all, there are a lot of copper ore piled up on the pier and in the yard outside the wellhead.In this mine, the shallow layer should be a copper mine, while the deep layer should be a gold mine.

After discovering the big secret of the Hu Family Mine, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue did not disturb the supervisors and miners, and continued to sneak deeper into the mine under the leadership of Xiao Gu, witnessing gold ore being dug out several times, and After a scene of digging out a small piece of dog's head gold, follow the small bone and turn into an abandoned mine.

After turning around the abandoned mine road for a while, I came to a tiankeng. I probed in and saw that the tiankeng, which was more than [-] feet deep, was indeed full of corpses.

"These corpses alone are enough for the Hu family to copy and kill."

A smoldering look flashed in Mu Qingxue's eyes.

In fact, Mu Qingxue has seen similar tragic scenes many times.

But no matter how many times she met her, her heart never became numb and indifferent.Compassionate and sympathetic, jealous and enmity as before.

It is also because of her consistent innocence that Yan Tianying, who also has a innocence, regards her as a successor.

Shen Lang didn't say anything, just nodded silently, stretched out his hand to hold Mu Qingxue's palm, led her away from the tiankeng, and returned the same way.

After sneaking silently for a while, Mu Qingxue suddenly said:

"I know why that monk is willing to guard the mine in this deep mountain and old forest."

Shen Lang said: "Why?"

Mu Qingxue said:

"Among the gold mines, black gold mines will be associated. Although under normal circumstances, only large gold veins will have a small amount of black gold associated with them, but there are no exceptions. Occasionally, there will be some medium-sized or even small gold veins, which will be accompanied by gold mines. Ugin.

"Wujin is a mortal world, a very small number of natural spiritual gold. It is naturally spiritual, and it can be directly used to forge swords and swords and even magic weapons without being smelted by Taoist monks. The miraculous effect of the item-level power.

"If this gold mine is really accompanied by Wujin, then the Hu family's reward with Wujin is enough to hire a wild monk."

Shen Lang pondered and said:
"Does the Hu family not need Ugin themselves?"

Mu Qingxue said:

"If the Hu family is just an ordinary unscrupulous mine owner, then gold is enough. But Wujin is useless to them, and will cause disaster for them. It's better to use this to lure a strong support."

Shen Lang nodded, and said:

"But what if the Hu family has something to do with the man-eater who raises demons and cannibals? It must be a monk who can raise monsters like the four-winged owl. Ugin should be useful to him, right?"

Mu Qingxue frowned, thought for a while, and said slowly:
"Then what if, that wild cultivator was sent by the demon-bearer?"

Shen Lang smiled:
"That would be fun."

What Mu Qingxue said is of course only a possibility.

It is also possible that the Hu family has nothing to do with the demon-bearers at all.

Maybe the Hu family is just a black kiln mine owner who privately enslaved miners, disregarded human life, and opened a gold mine privately.

But even so, the Hu family must be investigated as soon as possible to rescue those miners who were mostly abducted and kidnapped.

"Do it directly, start from the mine, arrest the guards and supervisors, and rescue the miners."

"Yeah. But wait for a while. Bone, go check around the mine to see if there are any secret passages. If there are any, just destroy them quietly. Then go to Taniguchi, join Xiao Zhao, guard Taniguchi, and prevent anyone from entering the mine." People escaped."

Xiao Gu made two clicks, walked away through the wall, and walked out of the mine in a straight line.

Shen Lang sat down on a rock, closed his eyes, and contacted Xiao Zhao:

"Xiao Zhao, is there any change in Shen Wu?"

Shen Lang's "Monster Taming Art" has been promoted to the fifth floor, and the distance of spiritual communication with the little monsters has reached 600 meters.

This 600 meters is a straight-line distance, and it can ignore all ordinary material obstacles.

Xiao Zhao, who stayed outside Taniguchi, was within the distance of spiritual communication.There are no powerful formations or restrictions here, so it is natural to communicate with Xiao Zhao.

[Meow~, no.He has been hiding outside the mouth of the valley, staring at the castle. 】

"Can you be sure?"

【certainly!Meow is the king of the night, please trust meow's eyesight! 】

Shen Lang nodded in satisfaction:

"Very good. Xiaogu will look for you later, you all block the valley entrance together, and don't let anyone escape from the valley entrance."

Shen Wu didn't have a magic weapon on him, Shen Lang and Mu Qingxue could be sure of this.

Without the magic weapon and without any small actions, it is impossible for Shen Wu to get in touch with anyone else.

[Okay! 】

After contacting Xiao Zhao, Shen Lang opened his eyes, looked at Mu Qingxue, and saw her walking up to a height of half a person with her hands behind her back. As soon as he kicked it, the stone cracked and split in two, revealing a piece of dog's head gold the size of Shen Lang's fist.

Facing this windfall, Mu Qingxue's face remained calm, and she grabbed the piece of dog's head gold into her palm with five fingers, and then kneaded it for a while without cherishing it, kneading it into a perfectly round golden ball, Throw it to Shen Lang casually:
"Send it to you."

"..."

Shen Lang caught the golden ball, was speechless for a while, and couldn't help asking:
"How do you know there's gold in the stone?"

"Intuition." Mu Qingxue said lightly, "If you are like me and can pick up gold wherever you go, you can also have this kind of intuition like me."

"..."

Shen Lang was speechless again.

Mu Qingxue raised her eyebrows:
"Why, don't you want to? Then give it back to me!"

As he said, he spread his palms to Shen Lang.

Shen Lang quickly hugged the golden ball into his arms:
"Of course I want it! How can I not want the gold that Miss Jinzhu sent me?"

Although Shen Lang's current net worth is as high as [-] to [-] silver dollars, so much money that he doesn't know how to spend it, but he has never owned such a big and round golden ball, and Mu Qingxue still picks it up and rubs it now. Yes, it is of great commemorative value, and of course it should be kept well.

The corners of Mu Qingxue's lips twitched slightly, a slight smile emerged, she came to Shen Lang's side, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder:
"Sit over."

Shen Lang patted his thigh:

"You can sit on it."

Mu Qingxue gave him a charming look:
"If you want me to sit on your lap, you can just beat me by arm wrestling."

Shen Lang spread his hands together:
"Aren't you a bully? I don't even have a fourth rank in martial arts..."

Mu Qingxue chuckled lightly:
"You can also bless spells."

Shen Lang is interested:

"Meaning I can use any spell?"

Mu Qingxue nodded: "Of course!"

"As long as it belongs to my power, it doesn't matter whether it's martial arts or spells?"

"Of course!"

"Very good." Shen Lang smiled confidently: "When this case is resolved, I will wrestle with you and see if I can beat you, a second-rank warrior."

Seeing that he was full of confidence, Mu Qingxue couldn't help being a little surprised:
"You are not born with supernatural power, where does your confidence come from?"

Shen Lang chuckled:
"You will know when the time comes. As long as you remember, all the power that belongs to me can be used."

Mu Qingxue put her arms around her chest, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, thinking of Xiao Zhao's changed white tiger, she suddenly realized:

"Are you trying to include your little monsters?"

Shen Lang laughed:
"As expected of Mr. Mu, you reacted so quickly. But you have already agreed, so don't play tricks!"

Mu Qingxue said seriously:

"I won't go back on what I promised. But those little fairies of yours are so small, how can they help you? Xiao Zhao can turn into a big tiger, but the tiger's claws are not good enough to help you wrestle your wrists."

Shen Lang smiled and said:

"Master Mu, don't worry, I have my own way."

As he said that, he moved to the side, giving half of the stone he was sitting on.

Mu Qingxue sat down next to him, shoulder to shoulder with him, legs to legs.

Sitting next to each other for a while, Mu Qingxue said:
"A martial arts practitioner should combine hardness and softness, but your muscles and bones are too hard. No wonder you can't practice exquisite swordsmanship. Have you practiced several horizontal and hard skills?"

Shen Lang chuckled:
"It's true that I have practiced several hard skills. I am a tough guy of steel, and I should be so tough."

"No wonder... But you know, if you practice too much hard skills, you won't be able to practice many subtle moves well?"

"Isn't Master Yan also practicing horizontal and hard skills?"

"So Master Yan is not good at moves."

"Uh... Master Yan can't move?"

"Well, he is only good at opening and closing, hard punching and hard hitting."

"You seem to be the same?"

"I'm different. I don't practice hard skills. It's just because of Tiangang's fighting spirit that I like to fight hard. But I can also master subtle changes, and I'm good at small grasping and hidden weapon kung fu. According to Master Yan, the moves are all Straightforward, almost unchanged, anyone can see through it at a glance."

"Then how did Lord Yan become number one in the world?"

"Because even if you see through his moves, you won't be able to dodge, break or block them at all."

"...Actually, I'm on the same path as Lord Yan. Although I can't practice fancy and delicate swordsmanship, I have unique moves, which are simple and can be seen clearly at a glance, but they are irresistible lore."

"Oh? You still have such a trick?"

"good."

"But I've never seen you perform it."

"That's a killer move, if you don't do it easily, you will kill it if you do it."

"boast?"

"Tsk, if there is a chance, I will let you see it."

As he was talking, Shen Lang raised his arms unconsciously, and gently wrapped them around Mu Qingxue's shoulders. Mu Qingxue didn't resist. Although he thought his muscles were too hard, he snuggled into his arms .

Mu Qingxue's body is soft and elastic, she doesn't look like a martial artist.

But Shen Lang had seen her in a sleeveless dress, and knew that although her arms were slender, her muscles were really beautiful.

The reason why she is so soft is that she has long since reached the state where both rigidity and softness are combined, and she can be both light and heavy.

When necessary, her light and soft body can also become extremely heavy and indestructible under the blessing of stellar energy and gold.

"Why hasn't Xiaogu come back yet?"

"It won't come back. After the inspection, it will go directly to Taniguchi."

"Then how does it notify you?"

"I can communicate with goblins within a certain distance."

"I see... what about the little spider?"

"Are you still worried about it?"

"How can you really rest assured? That's the Star Abyss Demon God. Even if it is really a little demon enlightened by you, it is different from the spider mother, but I bet it also wants to lure you to fall into a demon and want you to become the Star Abyss Demon God." .”

"..."

Shen Lang was speechless for a moment.

Because what Mu Qingxue said is exactly what the little spider has been trying to do, and it has never concealed its intention...

"Is it any wonder why I know?"

"Why?"

"The Black Lotus Devil's Nest, the torture chamber in the dream, was it created by the little spider? It is digging out the darkness in your heart, and wants you to be completely powerless against the time and can only be at the mercy of me, the six-armed snake, and two Concubine Hei Lian can do whatever she wants. And on the lava ring, your majestic appearance... Oh, great devil!"

"The little spider is fooling around. My heart is bright and open. There is no sneakiness or darkness. It is the light of righteousness. I will never be tempted by it. On the contrary, under my guidance, it will get rid of the shackles of nature and gradually become good."

"Don't be too confident. You are a mortal, it is a demon god."

"But I am the lord of the demons, how can my little demon harm me?"

"Look, you are blindly confident again. The little spider will not harm you, but if it thinks that it is good for you to lure you into the star abyss and support you to become the great devil king? After all, the star abyss demon god is also The road to longevity."

"...Don't worry, the world is so beautiful, I won't go to a ghostly place like Xingyuan to be the devil king."

"Yes, the world is so beautiful... It would be even better if there were no evil people."

"People who are born purely good are rare, and those who are born evil are also rare. The vast majority of people are born gray. There are good and evil in their hearts, and there are gods and demons. No matter how perfect the law is, no matter how powerful the enforcer is, it is impossible Thoroughly eradicate the evil in people's hearts. However, it is precisely because of the evil as a foil that all good deeds and benevolence appear more beautiful."

"Has anyone ever told you that sometimes you just don't look like a teenager?"

"Have it?"

"Well, your origin is unknown, your talent is peerless, unlike ordinary people, even the Xingyuan Demon God can enlighten you, I doubt that you are the projection of the Heavenly Demon, and you have descended to the mortal world."

"Heavenly Demon is not as good as me, right?"

"Magic and hypocrisy."

"If I am really a demon descending from heaven, how will you treat me?"

"I owe you my life, so I can only feed demons with my body. If I can influence you with my heart, it would be a good thing."

"This joke is a little heavy."

"It's not all a joke."

"...Don't worry, I'm really not a demon."

"I hope so."

While quietly snuggling and talking, a small bone voice sounded in Shen Lang's mind:

[Shen Lang, already, after checking, there are two secret passages leading to outside the valley.I will, exit the valley, destroy it. 】

"Good job!"

【I, now, go meet up with the cat.You guys can do it. 】

After finishing the telepathic communication with Xiaogu, Shen Lang looked at Mu Qingxue with a smile:
"The ossicles are in place and we can begin."

Mu Qingxue nodded slightly, and stood up tall:

"Let's go, start from the mine, capture all supervisors, guards, and rescue all miners."

Shen Lang walked side by side with her and asked:
"Aren't you going to kill a few?"

"Try to capture them alive, and declare the canonical punishment to warn the world."

"All right……"

[Double monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass~! 】
