Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

The mysterious powerhouse behind Chapter 7

"Are you all right, sir?"

Cao Zhengxiang looked at Shen Mu who came back from the scroll with horror.

at the same time,

The golden lotus that was shining brightly on the silk handkerchief in her hand also dimmed.

If Shen Mu failed to come out of the scroll, Cao Zhengxiang was going to force his way in.

"I'm fine, it's okay to come out." Shen Mu shook his head, and glanced at the fragments of the painting that had been broken all over the place: "What's going on, am I caught in this painting?"

Cao Zhengxiang glanced at Shen Mu strangely, he came out of it, and didn't know how to get in?It's really wrong to die the monster in this painting.

"My lord, it was raining heavily just now, so you opened the door and came in first, but after I followed in, you were no longer in the house. At first I thought there was a secret passage in the room, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. , if not..."

Cao Zhengxiang paused for a moment, and then continued in a low voice: "If it wasn't for the attack of that Golden Body Daxiu, I'm still not sure, my lord, you were caught in the picture scroll, my lord, but that Daxiu of the Upper Martial Realm rescued you." you?"

When it came to the golden body state, Shen Mu felt nervous.

But listen carefully to what Cao Zhengxiang said inside and out.

It should be that he didn't doubt himself.

Instead, he thought that there was someone else in Jinshenjing, and he rescued himself.

That's fine, masters are very mysterious, Shen Mu nodded, and whispered like Cao Zhengxiang: "Yes, I didn't know what happened just now, I just saw a monster with a blue face and long fangs, and I was almost killed. I killed it, but a golden body appeared inexplicably, and it should have been rescued from the air."

Cao Zhengxiang nodded approvingly, he knew Shen Mu's strength best, so he had no doubts at all.

"My lord, do you think this Daxiu is from the capital?"

Acting in a full set, Shen Mu looked serious, and also followed the analysis: "Well, it is very possible, otherwise there is no reason to save me. You know my connections. I don't know any monks at the upper martial arts level. Most likely, they are from the capital. , It’s just a pity... before the monster in the painting had time to interrogate whether it was the murderer or not, it was killed.”

Cao Zhengxiang waved his hand, wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling helpless.

The heart is big enough, if you can come out alive, you can be satisfied, and you still want to catch the murderer. Just now when you come in, you bump into a powerful painting monster. Next time, if you meet someone more powerful, you will play with your life It's over.

I was thinking of saying a few words of persuasion.

There was only a shock outside the house, and Liu Changfeng's figure appeared in the courtyard.

After he strode into the room, he took a look at the disciple's body still covered with white cloth, and the fragments of the scroll scattered around, and finally looked at Shen Mu and the two of them.

"What's going on, has someone from the upper martial arts realm come here?"

Liu Changfeng's question was straightforward, and he stared at them sharply.

The meaning is very clear, don't try to lie to me, I already know that a strong person has come, and I have also sensed the realm.

Shen Mu naturally knew that he couldn't hide from him.

It just so happened that the previous conversation with Cao Zhengxiang could be used to explain all of this, so there is no need to edit it now.

"It's like this, I was caught in the painting realm just now..."

Shen Mu briefly talked about what happened before.

It's just a slight improvement, replacing the golden body with the mysterious person in the capital, and the treasure dropped by the monster is not mentioned.

With a high probability, he could guess that most of those things belonged to the disciples of Wuliang Mountain. If he really told Liu Changfeng, they would definitely be taken away.

There is no reason to give away what you have worked so hard to get.

"It's almost like this, I just fell out of the scroll." Shen Mu said.

After listening to the narration, Liu Changfeng's eyes changed.

He didn't think that Shen Mu was lying, but because of the appearance of the martial artist, he was really surprised.

Is it so important?

He originally thought that Dali capital had neglected Wuliang Mountain, but now it seems that he is not.

That is the Golden Body Stage, a lot higher than himself.

Could it be said that the treasure of chance is really connected with Fengjiang City?
Thinking of this, Liu Changfeng didn't go any further, guessing some things out of thin air is meaningless.

He glanced at Shen Mu, and sneered in his heart.

No wonder this kid dared to speak so arrogantly to himself in the yamen hall today, and his performance was quite different from the rumors.

After working on it for a long time, it was backed by a Daxiu who was at the upper level of martial arts.

Combined with Shen Mu's performance before, it makes more sense logically, there must be a strong man with a golden body behind him.

From this point of analysis, Liu Changfeng was even more convinced that Shen Mu's words were true.

Of course, he would not be so stupid as to directly ask about the identity of this strong man.

If you offend others, it may be troublesome again, so it's better to wait and see.

Liu Changfeng turned his head to look at the fragments of the scroll.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand, and a piece of it fell into his hand.

After examining it carefully, he said, "There are indeed broken spatial fluctuations, but it should be two paintings."

"Two paintings? What do you mean?" Shen Mu asked suspiciously, he didn't know too much about the world of practice.

While investigating, Liu Changfeng explained: "It's not uncommon for scrolls to have 'foreign lands'. For example, great Confucians of the same line of literature and Taoism can paint and describe mountains and rivers. Buddhism also has a flower, a world, a leaf, and a bodhi. In short, they are all based on the supreme Tao. Magical powers open up space secrets."

"However, this picture scroll is not a secret place, but a passage, similar to the Talisman of My Immeasurable Mountain. The blue-faced fangs you mentioned before should be able to go back and forth between the two ends of the two picture scrolls. If you guessed correctly , another scroll, should be in the hands of the real murderer."

Shen Mu roughly understood it, thought for a while and said: "He should have been hiding in it before, and only grabbed me after you left, probably because he wanted to find out the news outside, so if he can find the location of another painting, right? Can we catch the murderer?"

Liu Changfeng couldn't deny it, but then shook his head again.

"It's true, but it's not that easy. The other party is not a fool. He must have covered up or severed the connection with the other painting. One of his monsters is at the Soaring Cloud Realm. I guess he is at least at the same level as me. realm."

Shen Mu nodded acquiescingly, he really couldn't underestimate the murderer: "The other party also used Taoism to drag your disciple into the picture scroll to kill him?"

Liu Changfeng shook his head: "My disciple's fatal injury was that his chest was pierced, and all the high-level armor talismans were shattered. He was killed with one blow. Maybe it's a sword cultivator."

This is the last result Liu Changfeng expected.

Shen Mu was a little strange: "Is there any problem with the sword repair?"

Liu Changfeng was helpless, if his realm was too low, his knowledge would be short-sighted: "Sword repair is fine, but it's just too troublesome..."

Shen Mu shrugged, not staying on this topic any longer, and asked another question: "By the way, your Wuliang Mountains don't have any secret magic powers, so you can search for the location of the other scroll?"

Liu Changfeng pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "There is an 'infinite calamity' in the Wuliang Mountain Dao to measure the beginning of all things, but this other picture scroll must have been wiped out by the murderer, and it is probably impossible to measure."

Shen Mu thought for a while, and then his expression became weird.

He leaned over and said in a low voice: "Actually... I have an idea, but I don't know what you want."
