Chapter 98 Mutation (3)
Xu Mizi shook his head: "You really know me. Over the years, apart from the sound of the piano, maybe you are the one who knows me best."

These words seemed to touch Ah Li's mind again, she bowed her head in silence, and finally said: "Okay, tell me the details, and I'll help you find out. We'll see you here again in three days."

"It really doesn't look like you," Xu Mizi smiled, "Isn't the Ali I know always focusing on the Chenyue religion?"

"Probably because you said the word 'help,'" Ah Li's face flushed slightly again, "Probably because... I helped you this favor, and I can see you again in three days. one side."

Xu Mizi didn't expect Ah Li to speak like this, and he seemed a little embarrassed for a moment. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he hastily told the story of An Xingmian, and then turned around, "So...thank you. Three days later I'll come again."

He strode away without looking back at Ah Li.Ah Li stared at his receding back, feeling like he was insane for a moment.

A few days later, Xumizi appeared in Dulin City in Ningzhou, accompanied by Xue Huaiqing.According to what A Li told him, after An Xingmian was captured, he was transferred to Dulin City, where he was detained in the mansion of an official named Song Jingyan.Song Jingyan used to be the envoy of the Huoqintu City State City Affairs Department before. It is said that solving cases is like a god, so as a human being, he is also respected by the Yu clan. Unfortunately, he ended up in the case of dismembering the lord's corpse. He took the blame and resigned and went to Dulin City. It is a place for the elderly to enjoy leisure, and it is gradually forgotten by people.However, just a month ago, when Chenyue sent scouts to track down a female killer who they had been following for a long time, she accidentally discovered that she had entered Song Jingyan's mansion in Du Lin and had a secret meeting with Song Jingyan.Only at this time did Chenyue know that this former detective was also a member of Tianchao, and his status was not low.

"Tianqi and Chenyue, these worthless things, are fighting over some boring things. One claims to carry forward the will of God, and the other claims to maintain peace and justice. They are actually bullshit!" Sitting at the tea in Dulin City In the shop, Xu Mizi talked nonsense while drinking tea, but under the high-spirited surface, it seemed that he was hiding something.

"Hey, don't change the subject easily, I'm not interested in the purpose and ideal of driving Chenyue!" Xue Huaiqing said with a smile, "That female Chenyue believer will actually help you. The west came out... I said, do you really have any stories with her?"

"Presumptuous, are you going to interrogate me? No one has ever been so courageous!" Xumizi stared, his face full of anger, but Xue Huaiqing still had an innocent smile on his face, full of expectation Watch him like a poor little girl begging her grandfather for a story.After a while, he finally sighed, and the anger on his face disappeared: "I knew that in the forest of illusions, I should have killed you two troublesome little children and turned them into corpse servants... They are all old It's a year old thing, why bring it up?"

"Because I really want to know more about you," Xue Huaiqing poured tea for him graciously, "how can ordinary people have such luck to know the strongest corpse dancer in Kyushu?"

This flatterer was very blunt, but still hit the right spot, Xumizi snorted: "Just a few days ago, you pointed to my nose and said that there is a shark in the sea that is better than me. Okay. To put it a little bit more, A Li and I met more than [-] years ago. At that time, I fell in love with three people with good physique and followed them all the way. I didn't expect that those three people had the task of assassinating them, and they actually went to assassinate them. A young woman, but that was just what I wanted. I seized the opportunity of them attacking the young woman with all their hearts and minds, and managed to sneak up and get three perfect bodies. Afterwards, I was about to leave with the three walking corpses, but It was found that the woman was half-sitting on the ground in great pain, as if she had suffered a serious injury, and blood continued to flow from her waist..."

"Oh, that young woman must be Ah Li!" Xue Huaiqing clapped her hands as if in a daze, "You must have felt compassion for her because of her beauty..."

"No, things like being young and beautiful never come into my eyes." Xu Mizi shook his head seriously, "It's just that at that time, I had a big fight with Qin Yin and broke several of her instruments. The corpse servant who was very handy, she was so angry that she walked away, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. And the face of A Li's injury was obviously in pain, but he was enduring the pain, and he was never willing to ask me for help , that stubborn and proud look reminded me of Qin Yin. So instead of leaving, I saved her."

Xue Huaiqing stopped asking.She could see that Sumiko was caught in some nostalgic and sad memories.The most remarkable corpse dancer in the world, the image in front of others is probably mysterious and terrifying, murderous and vicious, but at this moment, he reveals a rare human touch.

Let this kind of human touch stay on him for a while, Xue Huaiqing thought, even for a moment.She stopped bothering Xu Mizi, but couldn't help thinking about the judge named Song Jingyan.According to A Li, the reason why Song Jingyan quit the officialdom early was because he was unable to solve the lord's dismemberment case, which shows that this case is indeed complicated and confusing.But the final whereabouts of his parents are also inseparable from this case. Can you find a way to find out something from Song Jingyan's mouth?

The two stayed in a small inn in Durin City.Xu Mizi still used his superb night-moving skills, and after three nights of investigation and search, he determined the location where An Xingmian was imprisoned.However, although the location has been found out, it is very difficult to save people.The Celestial Exorcists obviously attached great importance to An Xingmian, and at least twenty Celestial Exorcist warriors were arranged in the entire courtyard. Even with Xu Mizi's ability, it was not easy to deal with these 20 people at once, let alone guarding against the opponent's attack Hurt An Xingmian.Fortunately, Xu Mizi is used to this kind of battle. He used to lurk and follow for several months in order to get a corpse servant he liked. The current situation is just a child's play for him, but Xue Huaiqing is extremely anxious .

"What's the rush? Since Tianqi is for Sa Xijialuo, he will definitely not take the life of that stinky boy. It's just a few more days and a little bit of suffering. Don't worry." Xumizi's tone sounded like An Xingmian is locked up in the Song Mansion for recuperation.

"I only know now that saving people is really uncomfortable," Xue Huaiqing lowered her head, "I really wish I was the one imprisoned, so at least I wouldn't be in such a hurry as I am now."

"No ambition!" Xu Mizi snorted, "Why can't you think that you caught the enemy and cooked it?"

"I'm not a murderous monster like you..." Xue Huaiqing muttered.Although she understood that Xu Mizi's words were not bad at all, when she thought of An Xingmian being imprisoned and not knowing what kind of torture she would suffer, she still felt anxious for a while.

This night the north wind was howling, Xue Huaiqing listened to the whistling wind outside the inn window, and turned her thoughts to An Xingmian again: It's already severe winter, where is that guy locked up?Will the prison leak air?Is there a warm quilt cover?It took a long time for her to realize that she never seemed to be such a mother-in-law in the past, but now, the feeling of caring about someone seems to have seeped into her blood, and she can't get rid of it anymore.Such a change was brought about by that man named An Xingmian, and she herself did not seem to reject such a change.In a way, she was very pleased with the change.

Once the thoughts drifted away, she couldn't stop anymore, the more Xue Huaiqing thought about it, the more she found it difficult to let go, so she just put on her clothes and got up, walked out of the inn, and came outside Song Jingyan's mansion.She knew that her strength couldn't be compared with Sumeru's. It might be very difficult to fight one or two of the twenty sky-drive warriors inside, so she didn't dare to get too close and could only watch from a distance.

I'm such a waste!She was suddenly very sad.Without Xumizi's help, facing a formidable opponent like Tianqi, he might be helpless.Many years ago, with the purpose of "making others afraid of me and not approaching me", she resolutely chose such a daunting profession as a corpse dancer. She lived a lonely life for many years. Before An Xingmian, she didn't even have a As for any friend, until now, she regretted it a little bit.

As she was thinking wildly, she suddenly felt a chill behind her back. Before she could react, her mouth was covered by a big cold hand.This hand was so powerful, and the speed of the strike was so fast that she had already been hit before she had time to guard against it.Fortunately, at this time, she heard someone talking behind her.

"You can't even stop one of my corpse servants, and you still want to fight against the sky?" Xu Mizi said coldly, "With your cultivation level, it's better to stay in the inn room obediently, so as not to change your mind." become my burden."

Xue Huaiqing didn't make a sound, but silently carried out the corpse dance technique, and slowly moved away the cold walking corpse's hand covering her mouth.Xu Mizi was a little surprised: "It's only been a year since I saw you, your corpse dance is progressing very fast, although I haven't tried my best, but you can interfere with my mental power and forcibly move my corpse servant, which is quite good Achievement."

Xue Huaiqing smiled slightly: "So you see, I'm not as useless as you think... What's going on?"

Both she and Xumizi heard the sound of commotion in the Song Mansion in the distance, and the few heavenly exorcists who were patrolling near the outer wall also left the outer wall and ran to the inner courtyard. It seemed that there was something wrong occur.

"It must have something to do with that stinky boy," Sumizi made a decisive judgment, "Although he is stupid, if he is lucky, he still has some ghosts... Let's go in and take a look!"

Xue Huaiqing was eager for him to say that, and hurriedly followed behind him, climbing over the wall and entering.Fortunately, there was a commotion in the mansion, and there was no guard outside, so it was easy to enter.The two followed the sound to the backyard of the Song Mansion. In front of them, they could see the torches lit up, and countless figures were scurrying about, appearing in chaos.

"Could it be that someone else came to save him?" Xu Mizi was a little puzzled, "Did you ask someone else?"

"I don't," Xue Huaiqing said quickly, "Although I have met some other friends this year, apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to save him. I'll ask others, Isn't it pushing them to a dead end?"

"That's true," Xu Mizi was obviously very satisfied with this answer, "but looking at the chaotic scene right now, shouldn't there be a lot of people who came to save him?"

Sumiko was right.In front is a small garden in the Eastern Continental style, which originally contained rockery, ponds, flowers, trees, and stone carvings, but now, the garden has become a messy ruin, the rockery has been completely destroyed, and it has become a pile of ugly stones. Trees were also bent and even fell.

"It's like a braggadocio made a mess here." Xue Huaiqing made a vivid description.

Xu Mizi didn't answer, carefully inspecting the messy scene in the garden, suddenly commanded a corpse servant to bend down, lifted a broken stone slab, and motioned Xue Huaiqing to look over.Xue Huaiqing took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp: there was a deep handprint printed on the slate, as if interrupted by someone's palm.But the size of this handprint is obviously just the hand of a normal human or Yuren, not the huge Kuafu.

"Can humans have such great strength?" Xue Huaiqing muttered to himself, "Even the strongest corpse servant can hardly do this, right?"

Seeing the chaos in the Song Mansion, the two simply moved forward dozens of steps, and came to the edge of the wall of the garden, which was mostly knocked down, and peeped out under the cover of the broken wall.I saw several corpses already lying on the ground, and all of them were covered in blood, which looked horrible.

Xumizi used the corpse dance technique, and made one of the corpses crawl from the ground bit by bit at an imperceptible speed, and crawled in front of the two.He bent down, checked it, and frowned slightly: "The attack was so ruthless, the ribs were all broken, and the internal organs were probably completely destroyed. I have been walking around Kyushu for many years, and I have never seen humans or Yuren use such a heavy weapon. Is it because that stinky brat knows friends that you don't?"

"I haven't heard him mention it before." Xue Huaiqing was also very puzzled, "He has a sworn brother, and his martial arts have always been fierce, but he can't reach this level. Maybe someone from Nagato? Nagato Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, there may be some masters that we don't know about."

Xu Mizi didn't answer, but stared into the distance with piercing eyes.There, more than a dozen sky-drive warriors were besieging a man who was soaked in blood and couldn't see his face clearly.Tian Chu could tell from his figure these days that everyone was a first-class master, but it was still very difficult for more than ten people to besiege that person together.What's even more strange is that the besieged person still faintly shone with multicolored light.

"The mental power is out of control," Xu Mizi said. "When the mental power is out of control, it may overflow with light. This is even more strange. Generally, only mystics can lose control of their mental power, but that person's movement is clearly a warrior."

The besieged man was indeed a warrior, and he didn't use any secret techniques, but used his fists to fight against the Heavenly Drive warriors.His moves are very simple, or it can be said that there are almost no moves, just straight punches and kicks, but no one dares to parry him head-on.

Of course, this person is not without flaws. The Heavenly Drives seized the opportunity to add a little wound to him with a sword, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all, and even if he was stabbed and slashed, his movements would not slow down What's even more frightening is that the wound will bleed at the beginning, and then it will gradually heal.It was only then that Xue Huaiqing realized that although this person was covered in blood, the blood might not all be his own.

"This person is simply not human!" Xue Huaiqing couldn't help but said with emotion.

"So, you've taken a fancy to a guy who doesn't look like a human being." Xu Mizi said.

"What did you say?" Xue Huaiqing was stunned.

"Open your eyes and take a good look." Xumizi's tone sounded very weird, "Isn't that inhuman guy who is fighting a big fight your little lover?"

He rested his chin on his hands, and fell into deep thought: "I've never seen this good-for-nothing kid so good at fighting. It seems that I have to re-evaluate your picky vision."

After An Xingmian made up his mind, he took off the Saxigaro that he had been wearing all the time, and put it in the corner farthest from him in the cell.In fact, he didn't know how far Saxigalo was from him to stay away from the influence of his body, so this move was actually just a chance.Now that Saxigalo was only a few feet away from him, if it worked as long as he was within a hundred feet, the plan would be completely meaningless.

Either way, all we can do now is wait.An Xingmian continued to look for mice in the cell to supplement food, while secretly exercising his muscles and bones, so as not to be inconvenient if he did not move for a long time.After making up his mind to set a certain goal, his heart became more peaceful, so he reduced his sleep and spent a lot of time on meditation in order to focus his mind more.

After the first day like this, Saxigaro remained motionless in the corner, neither making any sound or light, nor any other abnormal movements, it seemed to be a pure dead thing.This made An Xingmian very disappointed.But at night, he began to have a very strange dream.

He dreamed that he lost his form and turned into something like a cloud.He tried hard to sense his body, but he couldn't find anything. He just felt that everything was out of control, as if only consciousness remained.And everything around him has turned into a chaos of nothingness, making him completely unable to tell where is "self" and where is "the world".
