Great Swordsman

Chapter 209 Zhuoding Pond Prisoner Niuqin Gu's Family?

Under the stars and moon in the sky, the clouds and mists are thousands of miles away, Li Mu is flying with his sword, and the night wind is blowing. Looking at the sea of ​​clouds and the bright galaxy, his nervousness finally eased.

This trip was finally safe and sound!
He took out the wooden bowl, first confirmed that the doll and the groom were all right, and then took out a piece of paper from his sleeve.

On the paper was the Dragon and Tiger list updated half a month ago, with a total of 23 names on it.

"Since the Ghost Bride is a cultivator in the Earth Shade Realm, her name should appear on the Dragon and Tiger List."

Although Li Mu didn't know what Longhushan made the Dragon and Tiger List, since it was recognized by many forces, it showed that the list still had credibility.

From No.7 down, Li Mu checked the female names one by one.

No.13, Tang is also available.

No.19, Chu Ruoxi.

No.20 Two, Ying Xiaoyue.

Among them, Chu Ruoxi is the most beautiful.

Li Mu thought of Empress Qin Mengyao, Ling Shishi and others, and thought that since they are so beautiful, even if they are not the most eye-catching, they must be full of stars, and it is unlikely that they will appear in the mass graves with ghouls and paper figurines.

Win Xiaoyue?
Looking at the surname, it can't be the winner, right?
If so, that can also be ruled out.

So, the ghost bride is Tang Yike?
Li Mu looked at the rest of the names. Although they were all male, male names for girls were not ruled out.

Also, this list was made half a month ago, in case the ghost bride was newly promoted to the evil realm...

If so, then the scope is a bit large.

Li Mu didn't have that time, but...he thought about it and decided to write a letter to the Imperial Academy, asking them to help with the investigation!

rumbling...

In the cloud and mist, there was a thunderclap suddenly.

Li Mu suddenly recalled some bad memories, and hurriedly set down Yujian.

Can't be struck by lightning again!

……

Dijing.

Fengming Hall.

Zhu'er came to see the queen with a letter.

"Your Majesty, Li Mu has sent you a letter, it's about the Punishable Deer Peak in Nanke County." Zhu'er unfolded the letter.

Qin Mengyao was wearing a loose silk moiré undershirt, her hair was pulled high, the tips of her hair were still slightly wet, and the skin on her neck was moist and translucent, as if she had just taken a bath.

"Hasn't the dust settled on the Sleepy Deer Peak?" Qin Mengyao lazily took the letter, her phoenix eyes glanced at ten lines, and she read it quickly. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Zhu'er, send a message to Mu Shangshu."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Zhu'er asked.

"Let him...sorry." Qin Mengyao put down the letter, turned her head to look at Xingyue outside the window, and sighed softly: Li Mu, Li Mu, you are very talented, but your ability to cause trouble is not small.

Jiutian Yingyuan Shenfu, Ji Hui, the behind-the-scenes mastermind of the unidentified Yazi Bronze Sword, now has the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Qin Mengyao smiled wryly and shook her head.

Zhu'er took the order and left.

An hour later, he came back.

"What's Mu Shangshu's reaction?" Qin Mengyao lay on her side on the cloud bed, holding her gnat's head in one hand, and Li Mu's poems in the other, with black hair hanging down from her milk-white skin.

"Madam, Mr. Mu said that he and the old woman of Zhong's family have been separated for many years, and they have long lost the relationship between husband and wife. As for Master Ziyun, he was also brought to Zixia Temple since he was a child. He has not seen him for decades. The relationship between father and son is weak. Like water." Zhu'er panted a little, and said, "Master Mu said, please don't worry, Madam, he will never make things difficult for Li Mu."

Qin Mengyao looked at the poem in his hand, and said lightly: "Do you think his words are credible?"

Zhu'er pouted and thought for a while, then said: "Zhu'er thinks that he is very sincere when he speaks, not like he is lying."

Qin Mengyao smiled lightly, and ordered: "Have someone go and watch the Mu Mansion to see if there are any strangers."

"Understood, empress." Zhu'er took the order and left.

……

White Horse Temple.

Zen meditation room.

Abbot Huineng also received a letter from Li Mu.

"Zixia Temple, Dragon and Tiger Mountain." Huineng said with a smile, "Since it is related to Taoism, it should be dealt with by Quanzhen."

……

Shenqing Temple is located in Yanxia Mountain, which is shrouded in clouds and smoke all the year round, which is both real and illusory. When the sun shines, it will be full of rays of light. It is known as the ancestor of the fairy mountain.

And after the purple qi came from the east and the spiritual qi recovered, a cave appeared on Yanxia Mountain, named Yanxia Cave, which made him firmly hold the title of the ancestor of the fairy mountain!
As the sun rose in the east, a group of white cranes flew from the sky. After passing through the steaming cloud and mist guarding the mountain, the leading white crane flew straight to a cave on the mountainside behind Yanxia Mountain.

"Master, I have your letter." Baihe jumped up and down a middle-aged Taoist priest, and said respectfully.

There seemed to be colored glaze flickering in the cave, and Quanzhen came out after a while.

He was still wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, his long black hair was tied with a wooden sword, and his eyes were clear.

"Bring it here." Quanzhen took the letter, and looking at the handwriting, it was obviously Li Mu's.

Li Jushi wrote to Pindao again?

Quanzhen opened the envelope, and after reading the letter, he couldn't help frowning.

He already knew about Zixia Temple's refuge in Longhu Mountain, but he didn't expect Li Jushi to kill the owner of Zixia Temple after being trapped in Lufeng and his party.

Based on his understanding of Longhushan, even if he came forward, Longhushan would never give up easily.

That Taoist ancestral court is very domineering!

I need to remind Benefactor Li... Quanzhen looked at the middle-aged Taoist priest in front of him, and said, "I'm so greedy, you should go to Qingping County immediately..."

and many more.

At this time, the buying meeting of Jianjiang Villa is about to start, Jushi Li gathers his sword heart, and he will definitely not let Jiansha of Jianjiang Villa go.

"Master?" Zhenqian looked at him strangely, why didn't he say half of it?
"Don't go to Qingping County, go directly to Jianjiang Villa, find Layman Li Mu, and tell him to be careful of Longhu Mountain." Quanzhen said.

"Yes, Master." After Zhenqian agreed, he rode away on a white crane.

Quanzhen walked back and forth twice at the gate of the cave, and finally decided to write a letter to Longhushan.

……

coo.

coo.

The doll was awakened by a strange sound. She rubbed her eyes and got up, only to realize that the sound came from her stomach!
"Li Mu, Li Mu, my stomach is growling, I'm hungry~" The baby staggered like a carp... he didn't get up, so he obediently got up on his hands and ran to Li Mu who was not far away.

Li Mu had prepared a wild boar a long time ago, and with a little bit of Lie Yan Jian Qi, he directly roasted the wild boar!
The doll ate two mouthfuls, and her cute little face like a porcelain doll broke, and she said aggrievedly: "Li Mu, it's not delicious~"

There is not much aura in this wild boar, the meat is naturally not fragrant, and there is no seasoning added, so the baby can't eat it.

"Can't eat?" Li Mu got excited, teaching the baby to cherish food. Although wild boars are not tasty, is it the fault of wild boars?
No!

This is Niwa's fault, you are so young, how can you be picky eaters?
Is it okay to grow up? !
Under his education, Wa Wa reluctantly gnawed on wild boar meat, filling his stomach first, and then he had the strength to ask Li Mu to eat roast duck!

Amidst the yelling of the two, the groom lying on a boulder also faintly woke up.

Li Mu released him last night, dredged the meridians in his body with awe-inspiring energy, and then fell into a coma, and did not wake up until this time.

After a long while, the groom was shocked and looked around: "My lord, we, have we left the ghost village? Where is my horse? Is it... was it eaten by ghosts?"

"Almost." Li Mu sighed, in order not to leave a shadow in the groom's mind, he didn't expand, only told the groom that the ghost village was unknown, it was a blessing that the three of them came out safely, and as for the white horse, it was a pity.

"Xiaobai, I'm sorry that I didn't save you." The groom shed tears of sadness.

Although the white horse is gone, the road still needs to be rushed.

The groom proposed to walk against the wind, Li Mu thought of the inexplicable thunder and lightning that appeared last night, and quickly shook his head.

"Let's take a carriage." Li Mu said, going to the nearest county town to rent a carriage.

In addition, Li Mu had to write a letter to the Imperial Academy.

They galloped all the way, and soon found a small county thirty miles away.

The groom went to rent a horse, and Li Mu came to the post station with the baby in his arms. After taking out the Qingping county magistrate's seal to prove his identity, he wrote a letter and asked the Imperial Academy to check how many women there were on the dragon and tiger list as of yesterday. What is the identity of the woman!
Although the amount of work may be larger, Li Mu believes that the Imperial Academy can complete this task and find out the identity of the ghost bride!

Not long after the letter was sent, the groom came with a carriage.

"My lord, this horse is not as good as my Xiaobai. We have to hurry up, or we may miss the purchase of Jianjiang Villa." The groom felt a sense of urgency.

"Let's go." Li Mu got into the car with the doll.

The doll shook her body and called, "Li Mu, roast duck~"

"Jianjiang Villa has a lot of roast ducks, you can have as many as you want." Li Mu painted a big pancake.

"Really?" The doll's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true." Li Mu said seriously, "So in the next few days, we must hurry up, or if we miss the time, you won't be able to eat even a roast duck."

The baby instantly realized the seriousness of the matter, clenched her fleshy little hands into fists, and nodded heavily: "I see~"

Li Mu took out the wooden bowl and looked at the listless koi inside, secretly hoping that nothing would happen again.

……

Two days later.

Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Longhu Mountain was originally named Yunjin Mountain, which is more than a thousand feet high and stretches for hundreds of miles. It is said that a god and a man made nine heavenly pills here.

Later, disciples of gods and men set up Tianshi Mansion to preach here, which is one of the ancestral homes of Taoism.

There is a pool on Longhu Mountain, named Zhuoding Pool.

The Zhuoding Pool is not big, only twenty feet in radius. There is a gazebo in the pool. Inside the pavilion is a futon and a qin table. On the table are an incense burner and a turquoise guqin.

Nine cows are carved on the body of the guqin, roaring upwards, charging at the horns, or shaking their heads and tails. They have different shapes, but they are all lifelike and vivid.

However, this guqin has no strings.

On the mountain road, a gray-haired real person was walking towards the Zhuoding Pond with a whisk in his hand.

Wearing a white Taoist robe, with white hair and a childlike face, with white beard and beautiful temples, he is the head of the four celestial masters of Longhu Mountain.

Behind Daoist Shouyue is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Xiaodao named Mingde.

The Dao names of Longhushan's generation are sorted according to Shou, Dao, Ming, and Ren, so Xiaodao is the disciple of the three generations of Longhushan.

"What happened to the six evil dragons?" The real person Shou Yue asked suddenly when he saw the Zhuoding Pond in sight.

"Great Heavenly Master, the Second Heavenly Master and the Third Heavenly Master have confirmed the location of the Evil Jiao, and are leading people to set up a large formation. I believe that the Evil Jiao will be captured alive soon." Mingde replied.

"Good." The celestial master who kept the promise stroked his white beard lightly, smiled and nodded.

"Great Heavenly Master, with the Evil Jiao, wouldn't the Guqin in the Zhuoding Pond be useful?" Ming De said happily.

The heavenly master who kept the promise shook his head slightly: "That guqin is extraordinary, how can a mere evil dragon's tendons be worthy of a guqin."

"What does the Great Heavenly Master mean?" Mingde was puzzled.

"Catch the evil jiao alive, make it my dragon and tiger mountain guardian spirit beast, and wait for it to transform into a dragon..." The covenant-keeping celestial master smiled and said nothing.

"Great Celestial Master is wise!" Ming De bowed down.

"Great Celestial Master, Great Celestial Master, the Master of Shenqing Temple Quanzhen has a letter for you." At the end of the mountain road, a middle-aged Taoist priest ran quickly.

"Mingde has met Master." Young Xiaodao hurriedly saluted.

The middle-aged Taoist nodded slightly at him.

"Quanzhen letter?" The real person who kept the promise took a look at the letter and shook his head slightly.

"Great Heavenly Master, what did Quanzhen Guanzhu write?" the middle-aged Taoist asked curiously.

His Daoist name is Daozhen, and he is the disciple of Shouyao Daoist, but the status of the four great celestial masters is noble, even if he is a direct disciple, he must be honored as a celestial master.

"It's about Zixia Temple." Shouyue Zhenren handed the letter to Daozhen.

"Zixia Guan Ziyun real person?" Daozhen frowned while reading the letter and said, "Quanzhen Guanzhu is going to stand up for Li Mu? Great Celestial Master, what should I do?"

"It's only a matter of time before Li Mu condenses his sword heart and enters Earth Sha." The promise-shouling real person said with a smile: "Next year all nations will pay tribute, just change the list of dragons and tigers."

"Yes, Great Heavenly Master." Dao Zhen knew the elegant meaning of the string, bowed and bid farewell.

"Prisoner cow, prisoner cow..." The real person who kept the promise flew up and landed in the Zhuoding Pond like a feather. He reached out to touch the turquoise Guqin, and his hand was as cold as iron!
……

Cangwu County.

Hurry up and hurry up.

Li Mu and his party finally arrived at the gate of the Sword General Villa half a month ago.

Jianjiang Villa is located under Lanyan Peak, covering an extremely wide area, almost enclosing the foot of Lanyan Peak.

"Is the Jianjiang Villa built here?" The groom raised his head and looked at the Lanyan Peak, which was only [-] meters high and far away from the human habitation, with strange eyes on Jianjiang Villa.

"This peak has been an active volcano for thousands of years. Whenever it erupts, it spits out blue flames towards the sky, covering the sky and covering the sun, so it is named after the blue flames." Li Mu did a little research before coming here, and said with a smile, "Sword general mountain villa So Jianzhuang is here, probably because he wants to use the earth fire under the Blue Flame Peak to forge a sword."

"Can you use ground fire to roast duck Li Mu?" the baby asked with glowing eyes as he followed behind Li Mu.

"This..." Li Mu was speechless.

The three of them approached the gate of the villa, and someone greeted them, "How many of you are here to participate in the pumai meeting in our village?"

"My servant, Li Mu, was invited to participate in the Pumai Conference."

After taking out the invitation card, Li Mu and the others were quickly welcomed in by the people from Jianjiang Villa. They walked along the small bluestone steps and the long eaves ring corridor, and came to a courtyard on the left, named Qingfeng Courtyard.

But before he entered, he heard a bluffing voice from behind: "Stop! Is the Qingping county magistrate Li Mu in front?"

Find fault?
Li Mu turned his head, but saw a fat man galloping towards him, with every step he could take three or four meters away, looking from a distance, he looked like a ball that kept bouncing on the ground.

"Pfft~hahaha..." The baby couldn't hold back, pointing at the fat man and laughing loudly.

Li Mu has undergone strict training, and he will not laugh no matter how funny it is. He looked at the ball that bounced seriously, and said, "I am Li Mu, who is your Excellency?"

"Let's fight against the young master of the villa!" The ball bounced in front of Li Mu, and he raised his head and chest: "The Gu family!"
