Chapter 128: The monk outside the mountain who was sanctified in the flesh(1/2)

When he killed the mysterious monk at the Thirty-mile Peach Blossom Land, Li Mengzhou really clearly heard the whispers in his mouth before he died, and also revealed his name: Mo Xichou.

Moreover, according to the description of the male disciple of Bailu Peak, Mo Xichou's leg was broken by Chen Qiubai, which was exactly in line with the mysterious monk who appeared on the foot of the Peach Blossom Land at that time.

If this matter had nothing to do with him, he could of course take this matter as a story, but by chance, Mo Xichou was indeed coming to the capital, but there was a little accident in the Taohuayuan, which led to Mo Xichou's death directly under the sword of Li Mengzhou. Of course, he would not be able to appear in the capital, and Bai Ji and others could find him where he could find him.

Li Mengzhou looked at Bai Ji and asked with a weird expression: "Is the Mo Xichou you mentioned covered in black clothes, his voice was a little hoarse, and he felt very vicissitudes?"

Bai Ji looked at Li Mengzhou in surprise and said, "How could Junior Brother Li know? Could it be that you have seen him in the capital?"

The male disciple of Bailu Peak also looked at Li Mengzhou with some surprise. If he could probably be sure that Mo Xichou had appeared in the capital, he would have a high chance of finding him, which would be better than their aimless search.

Getting the affirmative answer, Li Mengzhou breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "I have indeed seen him, but he has not appeared in the capital, and he will never appear in the capital."

Bai Ji said anxiously: "Why is this? Didn't he come to the capital at all? Where did Junior Brother Li meet him?"

Bailufeng's disciples were always tracking Mo Xichou's whereabouts, especially when he was escorting him back to the mountain gate in Qinghai Town, he was escaped by him. Bailufeng increased the search scope and clearly found clues about Mo Xichou heading towards the capital. No problems should have occurred.

The only possibility is that Mo Xichou is indeed heading towards the capital, but his destination is not the capital. In this way, if you want to find Mo Xichou again, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Li Mengzhou looked at Bai Ji silently and said calmly, "Before the Panlong Banquet climbing the tower, I met him not far from Fengjiang, and then, I killed him."

Bai Ji and the man both opened their mouths slightly in shock.

They doubted that they had heard it wrong?

Although it has been confirmed on the fifth floor that Li Mengzhou has the ability to cross the border and defeat the enemy, Lu Changge, who was defeated by him, was only the first threshold to enter the fourth realm. Mo Xichou has already entered the top level of the fourth realm, and even in the whole world, he is still a master.

During the process of being hunted by Bai Lu Peak, he even killed a top-grade cultivator in the fourth realm. Such a powerful figure would have been killed by Li Mengzhou?

It was not that Bai Ji and the others underestimated Li Mengzhou, but that they knew Mo Xichou's strength very well. This matter was really hard for them to believe.

Bai Ji looked at the boy in black sitting opposite him blankly. His expression was very calm and his attitude was very serious. Although he was very suspicious of this matter, she could also realize that the other party was definitely not joking.

"Junior Brother Li... did you really kill Mo Xichou?"

Li Mengzhou sipped a sip of tea silently, and the astringent feeling exuded a fragrance. No wonder the tea here is so expensive. It is indeed much better than the tea in the small teahouses in the outer city. Although he does not know tea and does not like to drink tea, it can still be tasted good or bad.

"If the identity of Mo Xichou described just now can be confirmed, then I did kill him, but when his realm has fallen to a small level."

Perhaps because of the incredible feeling of Baiji, Li Mengzhou added another sentence.

Although Mo Xichou fell to the realm, he was still at the threshold of the four realms. Although Bai Ji still found it incredible, he seemed to be able to accept it when he thought of Li Mengzhou's cross-border defeat of the enemy.

As for why Mo Xichou's state fell, Bai Ji naturally thought it was because Chen Qiubai hurt him too seriously, so he did not ask further.

After asking about the specific location of the Peach Blossom Land, Bai Ji and the man stood up and said goodbye to Li Mengzhou, obviously to confirm Mo Xichou's body.

Although it has been a few days, there are no wild animals near the Peach Blossom Land. As long as no one passes there, Mo Xichou's body should still be there.

Without Baiji in front of him, Li Mengzhou's attention was put on the door of Yue Shiting's mansion again.

The carriage was still parked there.

The servant guarding the gate also walked out of the mansion, accompanied by Yue Shiting's figure.

Li Mengzhou couldn't see the person sitting in the carriage.

In addition to his current level of cultivation, the Divine Travel consciousness cannot directly penetrate the blocking objects, Yue Shiting is a great monk at the peak of the fourth realm. Once his Divine Travel consciousness is approaching, it will be easy to be discovered. Even if he observes in the dark, he cannot keep a close eye on it. He will be noticed after a long period of time.

So Li Mengzhou couldn't see the people in the carriage or hear what they were saying.

The only thing he could see clearly was Yue Shiting facing him.

At this moment, Yue Shiting's expression seemed a little solemn.

The carriage then turned around and left.

When the other side of the carriage turned to the teahouse, the raised curtains had not been completely put down, and the appearance of a middle-aged man briefly caught Li Mengzhou's eyes.

It was a strange face.

If Xu Hexian was here, he would naturally be able to easily recognize that the middle-aged man sitting in the carriage was a visitor to Prince Lu's mansion and Grandmaster Song.

Yue Shiting stood there, silently watching the carriage go away.

Li Mengzhou was also watching Yue Shiting.

Although he looked away in a short time, he obviously underestimated the perception of the peak monk of the Fourth Realm. Yue Shiting's gaze suddenly turned to the position near the window in the teahouse.

Li Mengzhou's eyes couldn't help but look at him for a moment.

I secretly shouted in my heart.

There are fewer customers in the teahouse than before, because the teahouse is located diagonally opposite Yue Mansion. The guests who often come here, including the owner of the teahouse, know Yue Shiting, the doctor of the Censorate.

When Yue Shiting crossed the threshold of the teahouse, those who drank tea in groups of three or three stood up to greet each other with a smile. The teahouse owner also greeted him personally. He is worthy of being the ministers of the court who often go out to the market to purchase. The relationship with the people is very friendly, and hello like ordinary neighbors.

Even the guests in the teahouse would make some jokes. After all, there are extremely rare officials like Yue Shiting in the entire capital. Familiar people often joke about this matter. Of course, this is not a ridicule, but a manifestation of the closeness of officials and the people. The people sincerely love Yue Shiting.

Yue Shiting would also respond like an old friend, making a few retorts, which made people laugh and the atmosphere was very good.

Li Mengzhou felt this atmosphere and stared at Yue Shiting who was approaching him.

"Mr. Yue has the huge censorate, and is more than one person in the court. He didn't expect to be able to get along with the people and treat the people like his own family. He really admires the boy."

Yue Shiting sat opposite him, looked at Li Mengzhou with a smile, and said, "I used to be just an ordinary civilian. I was fortunate to be favored by His Majesty and took the position of the Censor. Although I was high above my head, I will never forget who I am."

This statement sounds very simple, but Yue Shiting was able to take the position of censor at the age of forty, not only because of His Majesty's appreciation. Even if His Majesty likes someone in particular, he would not be able to directly give him a high position. Yue Shiting's ability to sit firmly in this position must have experienced many stories.

There is something called "one step to reach the sky", but it is rare after all.

Fan Wuwei was a man who had reached the top in one step. He jumped from a sesame-sized official to the head of the Shui Jingshi, but he did show a very powerful means. In a short time, he stabilized the Shui Jingshi, who had become chaotic because of Qi Xiaoran's assistance to King Yu's rebellion. It was difficult for people to cause trouble for him.

As the saying goes, in his duties, Fan Wuwei has the ability to sit in the head of the Water Mirror Secretariat and does better than Qi Xiaoran, the head of the Water Mirror Secretariat, so others have no excuses to attack.

Li Mengzhou looked at Yue Shiting sitting opposite him deeply, still thinking about who was in the carriage and what he said to Yue Shiting.

It is undoubtedly extremely difficult for an official like Yue Shiting to find out the problems he has. It is said that it is difficult to adjust everyone. Yue Shiting's character has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the capital. If there is a problem that breaks their cognition, their first reaction will inevitably be to disbelief.

Li Mengzhou did not doubt Yue Shiting's evidence, and the list of Wei's family in Yanzi Town was really Yue Shiting's secret investigation against Qin Chengyi, then both sides were not only not enemies, but also likely to become allies.

What Li Mengzhou wanted to know most was what Yue Shiting was doing in secret, and what was going on with that list? It was not worth suspecting to treat the people kindly and approachable, because if it was a disguise, it would be too tiring for Yue Shiting to disguise for decades. Even His Highness Yu, who was also disguising, could not be pretended in the end.

Before he could clearly find out the secret of Yue Shiting, Li Mengzhou could not be honest, because once he guessed wrong and exposed himself directly, it would be a mortal act.

"Although Ligong Jianyuan has temporarily suspended classes due to the Panlong Banquet these days, you live in Chaosi Lane in the outer city. Why did you appear in the inner city today? You happened to drink tea in this teahouse outside our mansion? As far as I know, you don't seem to like drinking tea."

Yue Shiting narrowed his eyes slightly and said lightly.

Li Mengzhou often has wine gourds hanging around his waist. Although this is not well-known, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is a wine lover.

Although there is no reason why you like to drink and not drink tea, for Yue Shiting, Li Mengzhou appeared in the teahouse and in the teahouse outside his mansion, which was always a problem.

Yue Shiting has the responsibility of supervising all officials. The most outstanding thing is his observation ability and is very good at discovering problems. Even if it is really just a coincidence, he is completely like interrogating the officials who are committing crimes, staring at Li Mengzhou.

Li Mengzhou looked very calm when facing Yue Shiting's inquiry. Although he was a little panicked, because he didn't expect Yue Shiting to suddenly worry about his appearance from this teahouse, on the surface, he showed as calm as possible.

"I made an agreement with Senior Sister Baiji of Bailufeng. Because she lives in the Inn Inn in the inner city, I arrived here. I just happened to see the teahouse here when I was drinking tea in this teahouse, and the environment here was very quiet. Although I really rarely drink tea, I don't like tea. Why did Lord Yue ask this question?"

Li Mengzhou naturally turned the incident of encountering Baiji into a reason for his appearance here.

He didn't think Yue Shiting would ask Bai Ji for this, and Yue Shiting had no reason to do so.

Yue Shiting was indeed confused because of the details. It was impossible that Li Mengzhou was just drinking tea in a teahouse outside his home, so he suspected something. Even though he noticed that Li Mengzhou had looked at him in the teahouse, he thought that during the teahouse, he accidentally caught a glimpse of what happened outside the teahouse, and ordinary people would subconsciously take a look at him.

He did not ask Li Mengzhou and Bai Ji what agreement had, but just smiled and said, "You and Bai Ji should have only met for the first time at the Panlong Banquet, but they had an appointment in private. It's really interesting. They are indeed young people."

Yue Shiting had reason to believe that Li Mengzhou could not lie about this matter, and the confusion of the responsibilities and habitual confusion gradually faded.

Li Mengzhou is a disciple of Ligong Sword Academy and may become President Xue’s personal disciple in the future. Yue Shiting subconsciously doesn’t think he will have any problems.

Fortunately, Li Mengzhou's mood was tough enough, otherwise Yue Shiting's casual temptation might have been distracted, allowing Yue Shiting to get the result he had never expected.

This process is very exciting.

This emotion is all reflected in the heart.

No matter how calm Li Mengzhou was on the surface, he was really nervous when he heard Yue Shiting's vague doubts.

He could not imagine what would be wrong with drinking tea in a teahouse? Is this also worthy of being questioned?

He wanted to find a tavern, but he could observe that the only place where Yue Shiting’s mansion was the only teahouse.

Fortunately, Yue Shiting didn't think much about it, otherwise he would have noticed such tricky problems. In this teahouse, he would definitely think of things that are most suitable for observing Yue Mansion.

Because of the so-called appointment with Bai Ji, Yue Shiting's attention was taken away. Listening to his obvious teasing intention, Li Mengzhou secretly exhaled and did not refute it.

Although it was only a short contact, Yue Shiting was indeed an extremely cautious person, and any small move could hardly escape his eyes.

Li Mengzhou felt a little tired.

It will become very difficult to get in touch with Yue Shiting and explore the list.

If you are not careful and are caught by him, you will definitely be able to clearly see through his ulterior motives.

Li Mengzhou could only try his best to make himself completely relaxed. In the face of Yue Shiting's joke, he just smiled.

Yue Shiting silently poured himself a cup of tea, tasted the aftertaste of the tea fragrance, and said, "I believe you are very clear about the incident that happened in the palace. Your Majesty wants to ask President Xue for help. You disciples must also do your duty and strictly prevent the South City Gate and not let anyone go."

After Li Mengzhou came to the Panlong Banquet, he did not return to the mountain gate. Qing also learned about the matter in the palace from him. He really didn't know that His Majesty the Emperor actually invited the teacher to come out of the mountain.

It seems that the murderer hidden in the palace is really not an ordinary person. He needs a big thing with five realms to take action to capture it himself.

Since there was a new topic, Li Mengzhou remained silent for no reason. He said in confusion: "Although I am not qualified to enter the palace, I am generally clear that there must be many powerful practitioners in the palace, and even great monks who have crossed the fifth realm. Who is the murderer who can come and go freely in the palace?"
