Great Xuanwu Sheng Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Crisis

"Well, Ping'er will be happy to have you, even if she is under the pressure of nine springs."

Liu Rong hugged Chen Yue with her withered hands, and a small amount of tears flowed from her muddy and sunken eyes. She was more relieved than sad. Although she could never see her sister again in this life, she finally saw Chen Yue and Chen Mu.

Her memory was already very blurry, and she was often confused, but now it was surprisingly good. She recalled the scene when she saw Chen Mu from a distance a few months ago. She didn't expect that Chen Mu at that time was really Liu Ping's. son.

 Beside the bed.

 Song Qi and a pair of children were gathered there.

Chen Mu stood far away. He didn't have much reaction to Liu Rong. He didn't even react much to Liu Ping in his memory. After all, the person standing here was no longer that Chen Mu. Even to Chen Yue , Chen Mu also recognized her as his sister because of her busy care during the first few days when he was seriously ill in this world, and because of their subsequent interactions with her.

 Looking for Liu Rong's family is more just to settle some bloodline karma.

 But he finally thought of some more distant memories about himself, but in the end he just shook his head.

 Turn around and walk out of the house.

after awhile.

I heard several overlapping cries coming from the room behind me.

"elder brother…"

Standing in the yard, Chen Mu felt someone hugging him from behind, but it was Chen Yue who hugged him with her slender arms from behind, tightly, sobbing, and suddenly choked up: "We have Will this happen one day?"

 Chen Mu's distracting thoughts dissipated, he turned around, hugged the slender man gently, and did not answer.

I do not know how long it has been.

Chen Yue's mood gradually improved. She let go of Chen Mu, looked up, and suddenly turned her head and wiped her eyes and face hard. She had obviously not cried in front of Chen Mu for a long time. She had obviously grown up. Coming.

Chen Mu looked at Chen Yue and laughed for a moment. After a while, he saw Song Qi coming out of the room.

Song Qi's eyes were also filled with sadness. He looked at Chen Mu and hesitated to speak.

“We'll wait for everything else, let's see the old man off first.”

Chen Mu stopped Song Qi from speaking and spoke slowly.

Although he was responsible for the funeral, he did not make too much of a fuss. He still arranged Liu Rong's funeral according to the usual specifications. He did not ask all the officials from the county government to come to pay homage. He only invited some relatives and friends from Song Qi's side.

The relatives who came here had all heard about Chen Mu more or less. When they paid homage to Liu Rong, they all looked at Chen Mu with a bit of awe and eagerness. Many people took the initiative to try to establish a relationship, but Chen Mu's The response was very bland, so bland that it made people feel intimidated, and they didn't dare to approach her.

"I told you that the sister-in-law married by Third Brother Song seems to be a rich and powerful person, but it is a pity that she was not able to enjoy it when she was alive. Hey, have you heard about it? That Mr. Chen is so powerful that he is even the county magistrate. You have to bow and bow down."

“Mr. Chen has become such a big official at such a young age. He must be a **** from heaven. I just took a look and felt so panicked that I didn't dare to go over and speak.”

 Some neighbors were talking quietly among themselves.

Chen Mu could naturally hear these discussions clearly, but he didn't pay much attention to them. At this time, he was more waiting for some information from the Supervision Department and the Demon Slayer Department, and paying attention to the situation on Xu Hongyu's side.

 After all the funeral rites were completed, Chen Mu found Song Qi.

"Cousin Song, I won't say much else. The old man has left. Although he didn't ask for anything from me during his lifetime, I should take care of my nieces and nephews. I can arrange for Cousin Song to go to the county government as an errand. Zhou'er and Miao'er can also practice martial arts in the county, and if they are successful in martial arts in the future, they can continue to develop in the county."

 Chen Mu briefly mentioned a few words.

In the past, he would have arranged for Song Zhou and Song Miao to go to Yu County to practice martial arts. However, the situation in Yu County is more complicated and unstable now than in the county government. On the contrary, it is much more stable to stay in the county government.

He also briefly explored the basic qualifications of the two people. They were both above average, better than the average person, and slightly worse than Chen Yue. They had a certain chance of entering Yi Jin in the future, but the chance was not very great. Going to the county The government may not have better development, but he will stay in the county government. In the future, if he reaches the level of martial arts training, he will also have a certain status and prosper a generation.

 “Okay, okay, it's all up to you.”

Song Qi naturally had no objection to Chen Mu's arrangements, and he was even more happy at this moment. If he could go to the county government as an errand, even if he was just a low-level official, he would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future, not to mention that his two children could If you practice martial arts in the county government, your future will be much brighter, and you may even be able to become an official in the county government.

Chen Mu looked at Song Qi and nodded slightly, agreeing that he was not greedy. Of course, it might be due to his lack of knowledge and vision. He felt that this was already a great favor, but in short, he would only let Song Qi If you start as an official in the county government, if you really have the ability to be an official, it will be okay to be promoted slowly in the future.

 After arranging things for Song Qi's family.

Soon, another scout from the Supervision Department quietly came to Chen Mu and reported the situation to Chen Mu.

 “Have you been to Erlong Mountain?”

After listening to the scout's report, Chen Mu looked thoughtful for a moment.

Xu Hongyu, Xiao He and a team of Demon Slayer Division troops were still hunting down the remnants of the Tianzhi Sect, and had arrived near Erlong Mountain, which was only over a hundred miles away from the county seat of Anyu County, so it was relatively close. .

Xu Hongyu is now a dignified Bone Forging Realm existence. The ordinary remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect pose no threat to her at all. Even if there are two or three golden corpses, she is not as helpless as she was back then. She can at least retreat calmly. Therefore, Chen Mu He wasn't too worried about her safety, but since he was already so close, he happened to be fine, so it didn't hurt to go and have a look.

"Yue'er, I'll leave for a while, and you'll stay at the county house first."

Chen Mu then called Chen Yue and gave him instructions.

Chen Yuezheng was staying with Song Miao, and when he came over, he also took Song Miao with him. She was only eight years older than Song Miao, but she was a whole generation older. Seeing the two girls coming over holding hands, Chen Mu thought again Chen Yue and Yu Ru couldn't help but secretly think that this girl should stop bending, but then they burst into laughter at their weird thoughts.

After warning Chen Yue, Chen Mu quietly left Anyu County and headed towards Erlong Mountain.

 Erlong Mountain.

It is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a medium-sized mountain range. The structure of the mountain range is somewhat shaped like two intersecting dragons, hence the name. The mountains are evergreen and full of resources, and there are many people who rely on them to eat from the mountains nearby. Village.

In one of the mountain forests, Xu Hongyu was wearing the official uniform of the Deputy Chief of the Demon Slayer Division, leading two guards in white and a group of guards in blue to walk through the forest.

On the shoulder of one of the white-clothed guards, squatted a small beast that looked like a squirrel. The little beast moved its nose from time to time, sniffing the scent, and then pawed a few times to identify its direction in the forest.

“Miss, after taking care of this, it's almost time for us to go back.”

Xiao He followed closely next to Xu Hongyu and suddenly spoke in a low voice to Xu Hongyu.

 Xu Hongyu has made great achievements during this trip. First, when dealing with the remnants of the Tianzhi Sect in the Purple Mist Mountains, he killed several people and killed a large number of silver corpses. He also cooperated with others to kill several gold corpses.

After that, based on intelligence and orders, they hunted down the remnants of the Tianzhi Sect all the way to Anyu County. Three remnants of the Tianzhi Sect had been found and killed by the team led by Xu Hongyu, and the fourth one was in front of them.

certainly. What Xiaohe was planning was not Xu Hongyu's military exploits during this trip, but that his young lady's wedding was scheduled for the beginning of spring. It had not been long. After solving this problem, it was just the right time to return to Yucheng.

 “Well, it's almost done.”

Xu Hongyu's face was still cold. She was working so hard to hunt down the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, mainly because she wanted to find out from the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect about the disappearance of her father Xu Yichuan, but she had not been able to get any clues so far.

According to her current understanding, the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect have been hiding in Yu County for nearly a hundred years. Most of the disappearances in Yu County are related to the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect. Although she does not want to think about it, she We have to get to the bottom of it no matter what.

 “My lord, we are very close.”

at this time.

The guard in white with the little squirrel on his shoulder took a few steps closer and reported in a low voice to Xu Hongyu. He saw that the little beast on his shoulder had become very restless and was rubbing its two little paws.

At this time, there was no need for the white-clothed guards to remind them. Everyone had become alert, because everyone had vaguely smelled a faint smell of corpses. When tracking down the remaining members of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, they basically followed the smell.

 Go forward a little further.

Xu Hongyu's steps stopped suddenly. She raised her hand and the soft sword fell into her palm. She glanced around with cold eyes and said, "Come out, there is no need to hide."

As Xu Hongyu finished speaking, a hoarse voice came from the forest.

 “Hey, why is it a woman?”

 Follow.

I saw a short, withered figure appearing in the shadow of the bushes in the distance. Because it was broad daylight, I could see his appearance clearly even from a long distance away. His hair was gray, but he looked like a little old man.

In his deep-set eyes, two strange pupils as dark as ink passed by Xiao He and the others, and finally landed on Xu Hongyu. He seemed a little disappointed and sighed: "Deputy of the Demon Slayer Division. Du Si, that should be a cultivation level in the bone forging realm, which is pretty good, but why is it a woman... How can I use a woman to refine corpses?"

Refining corpses is inherently yin. Although it is not impossible to refine a female corpse, the probability of success is much lower than that of a male corpse. Moreover, after refining, the quality and strength are often not as good as that of a male corpse of the same level.

The voice fell.

The two white-clothed guards following Xu Hongyu all showed angry expressions. One of them immediately sneered: "You dare to speak so shamelessly when you are about to die. You remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect hide in the evil place every day. I'm afraid your brains are ruined." Alright."

The little old man heard what the white-clothed guard said, but said quietly: "If I hadn't deliberately released some breath, how could you have found this place? Since I deliberately asked you to find it, don't you realize who is the prey?"

 As the words fell.

The soil in the forest suddenly surged up, accompanied by a tremor on the ground.

In an instant, he saw that more than twenty silver corpses broke out of the ground and surrounded everyone. Among them were even two golden corpses with golden skin, rich and thick corpse aura, and terrifying aura!

 “Golden Corpse…”

Xu Hongyu's eyes narrowed slightly, but she was not afraid.

She is no longer in despair now when faced with the golden corpse. Although the golden corpse is not easy to deal with, it is broad daylight now, when the corpse is at its weakest.

Xu Hongyu didn't hesitate much at the moment, and immediately raised his sword and swung it towards the two golden corpses.

With Xu Hongyu taking the lead, Xiao He and many other members of the Demon Slayer Division also started to attack the many silver corpses nearby, and the battle immediately became fierce.

Many people from the Demon Slaying Division faced more than twenty silver corpses and did not lose at all in the battle. However, Xiao He fought against a silver corpse alone and had a slight upper hand. Although she has not yet entered the Yi Jin Dacheng. , but the time to hunt down the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect is always in broad daylight. Although this place is in a dense forest, which blocks a lot of sunlight, every tree fell down during the battle, and the blazing sunlight shone directly in, causing the Silver Corpse's The corpse energy has been greatly restricted.

the other side.

Xu Hongyu was almost able to fight against two golden corpses on her own.

If it were at night, she could barely fight against one golden corpse, and the two would have no choice but to run away, but she had nothing to fear in broad daylight. Even if it was a golden corpse, its strength and speed would be greatly reduced after being restricted by sunlight. .

 “It can be done.”

Xu Hongyu assessed the situation.

Even though she was one against two, it was unlikely that she could take down the two gold corpses and could only fight with them. However, Xiao He and the others had the upper hand, and it wouldn't take long for them to kill all the silver corpses.

By then, whether they come to support her side, surround and kill the golden corpse together, or directly attack the corpse controller, the situation will turn to their side, and their side has an absolute advantage!

However.

Just at this time.

The little old man from Tianzhimen who looked at the situation in the field shook his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, and said: "I really chose a good time and occupied the time. I, the gold and silver corpses, , the suppression was greater than I expected... Unfortunately, I don't really want to use that one.”

 As the words fell.

 Suddenly an invisible energy spread from the little old man's body.

Xu Hongyu keenly noticed something was wrong and immediately reminded:

 “Watch out!”

However, the other party's methods were more vicious than she expected. She saw a black shadow bursting out of the deep underground, covered in strange black mist, and its speed was even more terrifying, far faster than the golden figure. corpse.

The whole figure just flashed and appeared behind a white-clothed guard.

The guard in white suddenly froze in place, his eyes widened slightly, and there was a large gap in his left waist and abdomen!

The most horrifying thing is that the exposed flesh and internal organs at the gap are not of normal color, but appear to be completely corrupted in color and state, emitting bursts of stench.

This was so sudden that the whole place was shocked.

The white-clothed guard is a perfect person with Yi Jin, and his strength is second only to Xu Hongyu. Especially in broad daylight at noon, even if he confronts a golden corpse alone, he will not be killed by one move.

The figure wrapped in a strange black mist was undoubtedly superior to the Golden Corpse in strength, and they had had a large-scale melee with the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect in the Purple Mist Mountains, so it was not like they had never seen such a black figure before. , it's clear what it is.

 “Shame!”

Someone spoke in a trembling voice, and his face turned pale.
