I have 99 innate treasures

Chapter 228 Standing out from the crowd
When Qin Mu passed through the moon gate and came to the back garden, he immediately saw a bamboo rocking chair that looked like an eleven or twelve-year-old child, with a piece of black armor hanging on his chest like a belly band and no limbs, sitting in front of the flower pond. The crunching and shaking Song Dynasty butcher.

I also saw a young man standing next to a rocking chair.

The other person was about 27 or 28 years old, with an ordinary face, tall and thin body, and an impressive and friendly smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.

It was this smile that made his whole person look like a piece of warm jade.

Even before he said a word, Qin Mu felt a slight fondness for this young man just by looking at him.

The other party was also looking at Qin Mu curiously at this moment.

Song Rentu, who looked like a child, spoke in an old-fashioned way, with a kind tone in his tone. The first time he saw Qin Mu, he waved to him and said, "Don't stand in front of the moon gate. Let's go." Recently, I have long been interested in you, the banner master of the Demon Suppression Division who can dream of entering the fairyland and allow Old Demon Cangshan to safely leave several young disciples at home."

His voice was like a child's, with a childishness and clarity, but the content of his words made Qin Mu's scalp tingle instantly.

He always thought that after Cangshan Old Demon put Cang Ziyu and others in his home, he would arrange some means to hide them or conceal their background.

But at this moment, it seems that the old devil has not arranged anything?

"Even the flag owner is like this. Needless to say, the captains and patrol inspectors below are like this."

"He has a problem too?"

When he mentioned the words "fake death to escape", he silently glanced at the young man standing next to Qin Mu.

Song Rentu rolled his eyes at him angrily and said: "What's the matter of reviving a corpse? If so, how could he hide it from so many people from the Demon Suppression Department? Although these people are not good people, their eyesight and cultivation are not fake." of."

"If you do the math carefully, if you don't count, there are nine flag masters in total, and four of them have problems."

And the qualifications he showed were only 97 points of Golden Spiritual Root and peak cultivation level in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Qi Shayu should have told you about those merchants on the road. They closed their stores in protest, but I can't go on a killing spree. After all, their ancestors and I are both lords."

"Furthermore, your position is sensitive and your personality is introverted, so naturally no one will come into contact with you."

During the time he spent in the Demon Suppression Department, he knew nothing about these things, and he didn't even hear any news.

Qin Mu was startled when he heard this, and there was a look of confusion on his face. He didn't understand why a big shot like Song Rentu would try to retain a little guy like him, and even promised to skip the training at the headquarters.

After Song Rentu saw the hesitation he showed, he naturally understood the doubts in his heart, so he added: "Now is the time of crisis, but people's hearts are unpredictable. Many people who seem to be loyal, secretly hide a secret." Snake-hearted."

Song Rentu smiled and waved his hands, saying: "Forgive me the etiquette. I have a lawless temper. I get a headache when I see these etiquettes. There is no need to practice these vulgar etiquettes in the future. Just feel free in front of me."

After saying this, Rentu of the Song Dynasty looked directly at Qin Mu and said: "And the people in the Demon Suppression Department are simply unable to entrust them with such important tasks."

"Only Wang Zhihao, who has a bold personality and a casual attitude, can have a good relationship with you."

Song Rentu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you think it's strange that you get along with them every day, but you haven't even heard anything about them?"

Song Rentu shook his head slightly and explained helplessly: "That was because of the stupid thing organized by He Long, the former 100 households. He thought you were suspicious and kept you here."

After Qin Mu saw the weird smile on Tu Zongnian's face from Song Dynasty, he panicked for no reason and swallowed subconsciously.

Just let Cang Ziyu and others be placed in the Qin Mansion in an honest and fair manner?
While thinking about this in his mind, he also approached the flower pond, came to the young man's side, clasped his fists and bowed to Tu Yi, the Song Dynasty man who was sitting in the rocking chair, and said respectfully: "Qin Mu pays homage to the city lord."

After Qin Mu heard the name 'Wang Zhihao', he couldn't help but sigh, feeling sorry for his unexpected death.

Song Rentu nodded and said: "The day after his death was when I came to Guanhai City, not to mention his body was still parked in the City Lord's Mansion, so I was naturally concerned."

After Qin Mu heard these things, he couldn't help but look shocked.

When Qin Mu suddenly realized it, he suddenly remembered that 'Wang Xiaowei' was chatting about everything and was familiar with many things. Astonishing insights, as well as the incident where he suddenly came to him for a drink on the night of his death and asked him to draw what a 'spirit fruit' looked like.

With that said, he held up a thin post with only two pieces of paper.

"I just heard that I was coming. The other party knew that they couldn't hide my delusion-breaking eyes, so they could only fake death to escape!"

"This has caused all the flag masters, captains, and patrol inspectors to avoid you, for fear that you will implicate them and expose the dirty things they have done secretly. Naturally, you have no chance to join in with them, let alone hear about it. A little bit of news.”

"Let's take Guanhai City as an example. In the huge Guanhai City, I can't even count the number of people I can trust."

When Qin Mu heard what he said, he recalled the scenes when he was getting along with Colonel Wang. He instantly felt a chill on his back and his scalp was numb. He asked in a deep voice: "Borrowing a corpse to bring back the soul?"

When Qin Mu straightened up, he said again: "I have already read your resignation letter, and I will approve it. But before that, I also want to have a chat with you. If you don't need to go to the headquarters to do it, Training, and if I allow you to continue to serve as the banner leader of the Demon Suppression Division, will you take back this resignation? "

He shook his head, with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"The remaining five people are not without problems, but they haven't been traced yet."

After Song Rentu saw the sentimental look flashing in his eyes, he asked with a strange expression: "Do you think your brother Wang is a good person?"

After Song Rentu saw his expression, he chuckled and said, "This Wang Zhihao, your brother Wang, was already a corpse a few years ago... Do you know what this means?"

"In fact, the Colonel Wang you know was transformed by a monk with terrifying cultivation. He is lurking in a place where no one can poop, either for other purposes or to avoid his enemies."

"The flag leader Zhu Hong is a wallflower, and he will stick to whichever side is strong; the flag leader Chen Qing seems to be honest, but he is a spy who was put in by the Piaomiao Sect in the early years; the flag leader Han Zhuo is not old, but he is a profit-minded person. They have already accepted bribes from those merchants; Banner Zhang Cing is the secret guard of the traitor Huangfu Hongtao."

When he finished speaking, a weird smile appeared on his lips, "Guess what I found?"

When Qin Mu heard what he said, his expression suddenly changed in shock.

It would be fine if the ultimate spiritual roots of the two elements of gold and water were exposed, but what he showed to everyone now was just a lucky man who was able to dream into the fairyland and see the sages and sages preaching scriptures and talking about poetry and songs. .

With the cultivation level of the Song Dynasty Tu Mahayana, a small person like him should not be noticed by the other party.

"It's okay on weekdays. Now is the time when people are panicking. If I don't miss my old feelings because of such a trivial matter, Dayu will be in chaos before foreign enemies invade."

Qin Mu hesitated and nodded lightly.

He paused and sneered: "The Qiufeng of Baihu has ulterior motives. On the surface, he is a member of the Demon Suppression Department, but secretly he joins the rest of the gang. With him as the leader, how can those people below be so clean?"

When he was thinking about this, Song Rentu returned to his smile and started counting with his fingers.

"After talking about them, let's talk about you. Compared with this group of people, your advantages will immediately come out..."

"First, that idiot He Longxing investigated all your details. Second, Tang Mubai checked you from inside to outside in Baishi City. After these two procedures, in this building in Guanhai City There is no one with a cleaner background than you in the Demon Suppression Division."

"Third, you don't collude with anyone. The only person you have a good relationship with faked his death and got away." "Fourth, you rarely communicate with others when you are on duty, and you go straight home after you get off duty. This is called being disrespectful. Forming a party for personal gain.”

"Fifth, your qualifications are not bad, and you also have a skill in the Nascent Soul realm. With your qualifications, as long as you don't die, you will be a Nascent Soul monk in a few years."

Speaking of this, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Look...after all this calculation, you stand out from the crowd in this branch of the Demon Suppression Department!"

Qin Mu felt ashamed. He never expected that a player like him would be the best in the Demon Suppression Division.

Song Rentu leaned back, and the rocking chair slowly creaked again.

"That's why I asked Qi Shayu to bring you here."

"Now is the time to employ people, so it is natural to be a little more tolerant towards people like you."

"In addition, Tang Mubai also mentioned to me that he wants to recommend you to the Imperial Academy... You can consider it. If you withdraw your resignation, after I have wiped out all the chaotic forces in Guanhai City, you will not only be the most promising to become a hundred households. People can also enter the Imperial College and receive all-round training.”

"Furthermore, Earth Immortal Lu Zhong has had a relationship with you. Qianhu Tang Mubai favors you very much, and you were promoted by me. Relying on these relationships, when your cultivation level is higher, you want to become Qianhu." It’s easy to open a household.”

Qin Mu was silent when he heard this. If Tu Zhao from the Song Dynasty had called him to say this before he changed his practice of Taiyi Mysterious Method, he would probably agree.

But now, he not only condensed an auspicious golden elixir, but also turned his spiritual power into luck.

He didn't need any of the things that the Demon Suppression Division could provide him, whether it was elixirs, spiritual stones, magic weapons, or techniques.

If he wants to continue practicing later, he can only find the innate five elements.

In this way, if he stays in the Demon Suppression Division, in addition to adding burdens to himself, he will also have to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, and he will also have to worry about whether he will be plotted against.

After all...the world will be in chaos.

In this case, hiding in the crowd is the safest thing, and it will also help him find a suitable treasure holder for the Jiuxiao Divine Spear.

Song Rentu saw that he was silent for a long time, and he still didn't know his decision.

He was originally very optimistic about Qin Mu, but now that he came forward in person and promised so many benefits, Qin Mu did not take his resignation from the table in front of him.

He was not a good-tempered person to begin with. Seeing Qin Mu not expressing his position for a long time, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and his expression became cold at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The young man who had been standing on the side of Song Rentu's rocking chair and had remained silent since Qin Mu arrived. After noticing the change in Song Rentu's attitude, he suddenly said: "Tang Qianhu mentioned before that the Qin Banner Master I still have a grudge about being kidnapped by the Demon Suppression Division while walking on the road, and now it seems that this statement is true. "

After hearing this, Qin Mu couldn't help but look up at him.

Song Rentu, whose attitude had become cold, saw the young man speaking, and looked at Qin Mu, and said in a calm voice: "If you really still have grudges about what happened back then, in a few days, I will ask you to lead the team in person. Take the current group of people from the Demon Suppression Division and kidnap them one by one from the streets and send them to the prison."

"If you still don't feel relieved, with my order, I can have He Longxing escorted back to Guanhai City, so that he can experience the experience of being tied up in chains on the street and sent to the Demon Suppression Department."

"I even allow you to use all kinds of punishments on them!"

"In my eyes, they are already a group of dead people. If we deal with them, it will make you change your mind, and it will be worth it."

"After all, how can a group of dead people be worth as much as a living person?"

When Qin Mu heard what he said, he quickly shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, the city lord is serious. I am not a petty person. The incident has already passed. What's more, Tang Qianhu not only apologized to me in private, but also gave me guidance." When I stepped into spiritual practice, it helped me open up several key points and left a ray of spiritual energy in my Dantian to help me practice."

"He was able to let go of the Lord of Thousand Households and helped me so much. If I still keep what happened in the past in my heart, it would be because I am ignorant of current affairs."

Now that the words have been said here, Qin Mu simply explains what needs to be said.

"I believe in all the benefits that the Lord City Lord mentioned just now, and I can understand your good intentions. It's just that my personality is introverted and lazy. I really don't want to deal with complex interpersonal relationships, let alone with a group of people. Being hypocritical and cowardly, just like I didn’t like to communicate with others when I was on duty, it was also for this reason that I resigned from the position of flag leader.”

"Back then, I used a song called "Peach Blossom Temple Song" to convey my aspirations in front of Tang Qianhu. Just as the poem said, I would rather die among peach blossoms and fine wine than bow before the carriages and horses of dignitaries. It’s the same as saluting and flattering.”

"Actually, that was my true thought. However, I didn't know much about Tang Qianhu's character at that time, and I was also wary of his cultivation and official status. Although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, in fact, I was very worried if I continued to refuse. , there will be no danger, so I can only give in and bite the bullet and continue to stay in the Demon Suppression Division. "

When the young man heard what he said, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Tang Mubai later personally copied the poem and presented it to him. Although the cynical meaning in the poem was too obvious, he particularly loved the leisurely days described in the poem.

When he thought of this, he also smiled and said: "Having said that, the way you talk now does not sound like a timid and cautious person. Tang Qianhu is just a Yuanshen monk, but the person in front of you at this moment The city lord is a monk at the pinnacle of Mahayana.”

"Moreover, the Lord of the City is much more grumpy than Tang Qianhu. Are you only afraid of Tang Mubai but not the Lord of the City?"

After Song Rentu heard this, he immediately sneered in cooperation.

Qin Mu sighed softly and said: "Since I compromised before because I was worried that Tang Qianhu would harm me, I will naturally compromise today because I am afraid of the city lord. But if I cherish my life so much, I will do it when I encounter a life-threatening situation. A person who cherishes his life and compromises again and again is not a person worth winning over, whether it is the Demon Suppressor or the Lord of the City. "

After hearing what he said, the young man smiled and said: "You said it frankly, but it also allowed us to see the real Qin Mu for the first time, not the one who worked in the Demon Suppression Department as written in the record. Be serious and don’t form cliques for personal gain.”

Song Rentu also shook his head and sighed, and said: "Actually, speaking out is better than your silence, but if we hadn't forced you, we wouldn't have heard these heartfelt remarks."

After saying that, he picked up the resignation from the table, flipped his wrist, and a writing brush appeared in his hand. After writing his name on it, he put the resignation into his sleeve, then looked at Qin Mu, and said seriously : "From now on, you are no longer the banner leader of the Demon Suppression Division..."

After a pause, he chuckled again and continued: "I was only optimistic about you before, but after hearing your words, not only did this optimism not disappear, but I admire you even more. After all... not everyone No one can dare to speak like you do in front of me."

"As for what you said about cherishing one's life, is there anyone in this world who would not spare one's life?"

"And what you said about compromising again and again because you cherish your life is because you have never met anyone or anything that needs you to protect with your life. If Your Majesty hadn't been friends with me, facing this mess, I would He will be the first to run away, and only a fool would sacrifice his life for a stranger."

After saying this, he seemed to have remembered something, and added: "By the way, I haven't introduced him to you yet. His name is Lu Shan, and he is Qian Hu, the secret guard of the Demon Suppression Department."

Lu Shan, who had an ordinary face and thin body, smiled at Qin Mu after the Song people slaughtered him and said: "I have heard of your name for a long time, but I have been busy with official duties and have no chance to meet you. Today, by some accident, I met you." To the real you.”

"Qianhu's words are serious."

Qin Mu quickly returned the salute to him.

At this time, Lu Shan turned his head to look at Song Rentu and said: "Lord City Lord, if there is nothing important, I will resign together with Qin Mu."

Song Rentu didn't speak, just waved his hands lazily.

When Lu Shan turned around, he glanced at Qin Mu. When Qin Mu saw this, he also saluted Song Tu, and then followed Lu Shan through the moon gate and left the back garden with him.
