The road is vague

Chapter 155 Lure the snake out of its hole
"Do you regret investigating this case?"

Zhu Wei was stunned when he heard this.

"what?"

"Being dragged into inexplicable danger by this case and gaining insight into the strange and twisted nature of the Mountain and Sea Realm, do you regret it?"

Li Mo looked out the window at the busy streets of Beikou County and asked, wondering what he was thinking.

"there has never been!"

Zhu Wei answered decisively.

Then he actually chanted a spell silently, took out a black talisman and showed it to Li Mo.

"The main cultivation method of the Tianfu Sect has the ability to transform everything in the world into talismans. During my foundation-building period, I encountered an inner demon. This was my obsession with Yuan Zhen. It helped me shatter the inner demon and successfully advance to the foundation-building stage."

"Foundation Building Stage Inner Demon?"

Li Mo looked surprised.

According to Lu Qi, the inner demons of a cultivator will generally only gradually emerge when he reaches a high level. They are often composed of his childhood enlightenment and growth experiences and his youthful worldly experiences.

If your thoughts are clear and your conscience is clear, you can eliminate the demons in your heart.

The more regretful, paranoid and radical you feel in your heart, the stronger your inner demon will be.

But in general.

Only after reaching the Golden Core Stage will one face the troubles of inner demons.

Especially after failing to break through the bottleneck for the first time, when trying to break through the bottleneck for the second time, you will inevitably face the troubles of inner demons.

Cultivators like Zhu Wei, who have to face inner demons in the foundation-building stage, are of a type with extremely poor mental qualifications.

From this point of view.

His childhood was probably filled with some extremely troubling and frustrating things.

For monks, state of mind is also a manifestation of aptitude.

People with a bad state of mind may not have any difficulty in practicing, but the troubles they face when breaking through the bottleneck will be unimaginable to outsiders. Therefore, according to what Lu Qi said, the qualifications of a cultivator can be divided into innate root bone qualifications and acquired state of mind qualifications, both of which are indispensable.

A happy childhood is also a precious treasure that brings endless benefits to monks.

"Yuan Zhen is my best friend, I must avenge him!"

"Liu Biao is indeed a major suspect in this matter. It's understandable that you doubt him."

Li Mo expressed his appreciation for Zhu Wei's unremitting efforts.

"Tell me about the diary."

"it is good."

Now Zhu Wei's diary has been burned by Li Mo.

In this world, only Li Mo and Zhu Wei know the contents of the diary.

"correct!"

Zhu Wei seemed to remember something.

"Liu Biao must be over 120 years old, and I remember Mr. Tian said that he personally witnessed Liu Biao being injured many times during missions, so I suddenly thought of a question. He should not have much time left to live, but he doesn't look like a man in his twilight years at all.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo suddenly remembered all his related investigations.

So he hurriedly took out the investigation information of the past few days from his storage bag, especially the information bought from the Touqi Organization, and handed it to Liu Biao.

“One hundred and fifty-seven years old!
Zhu Wei made an incredible sound.

"There's definitely something wrong here! He has a fierce temperament, acts impulsively, and fights fiercely. He shouldn't be able to live this long. Furthermore, he doesn't show any signs of aging, like losing his essence!"

"kindness."

Li Mo nodded, he also felt that there was something wrong here.

But relying on this small problem alone is definitely not enough to arrest Liu Biao, who is at the same level as him.

So he began to recall the contents of the diary.

"Through my investigations over this period of time, I've discovered that Liu Biao is deeply concerned about the relocation of border residents. This is understandable, after all, the land in the Great Northern Wilderness is barren and unsuitable for living. But after what happened in Beisha Village, I've always felt that he must have other motives!"

Zhu Wei has a very strong feeling about this.

He vaguely suspected that Yuan Zhen's death might not be as simple as he remembered. Perhaps he just forgot about it, so he had subconscious suspicion.

"The Ministry of Destiny wants to relocate Shawo Village to an inland area to avoid resentment among the local people. When the people learned of this, they celebrated wildly."

"I didn't expect the work of the Tianming Division in Beikou County to be so complicated, even including repairing houses. This is a bit strange. In comparison, the difficulties faced by Bai'an County may not be a big deal."

"The people here are so poor. Even though the Ministry of Destiny promised them new houses, they still wanted to take everything away, including the broken walls, bricks and tiles."

"I...why can't I remember anything about Shawo Village? It's just like Beisha Village...Am I just imagining things, or has an evil spirit tampered with my memory? No, this must be reported to General Li. There's something seriously wrong here..."

Li Mo's frown deepened.

Beisha Village, Shawo Village, and Shaba Village.

During the six months that Zhu Wei was investigating, a total of three villages disappeared inexplicably and were forgotten by him.

Liu Biao's life span issue is not enough to make Li Mo take risks.

But this situation where an entire village disappeared inexplicably is exactly the same as those inexplicable people in Bai'an County, except that Liu Biao is bolder, or his approach is more rough!
"This Liu Biao is definitely connected to the Baiyue Organization. It's just that the people in Bai'an County are cautious and scattered throughout the county, while Liu Biao is rough and unscrupulous!"

Zhu Wei's heart beat wildly when he heard this.

He looked at Li Mo with anticipation.

"For the sake of the people of the two counties, I can't care about so many things now. Let's arrest Liu Biao first. If a good person is wrongly accused, I will bear the responsibility!"

Zhu Wei listened to Li Mo's powerful and decisive words and felt that Li Mo's voice was deafening.

When he looked at Li Mo again, he felt that his image had become extremely tall, as if emitting a golden light of justice.

But the more Li Mo acted like this, the more worried Zhu Wei became.

He didn't want to see such an admirable good man fall into irretrievable disaster.

"But he's not only the deputy captain of the Lingmu Sect's Special Duties Hall, but also a seventh-rank official of the imperial court. If the imperial court investigates, even Hall Master Lu might not be able to protect you. Shouldn't we make some careful plans?"

Li Mo clenched his fists and looked serious.

"I joined the Ministry of Destiny and became an inspector, not for promotion or wealth, nor for spiritual enlightenment, but simply because of my sincere dream!"

His thoughts seemed to go back to the year when he left Hua'an Town alone.

"If I turn my back on the millions of people who could lose their lives at any moment because I'm afraid of ruining my future, afraid of taking responsibility, afraid of possible danger, then what's the point of all my tireless efforts over the years?"

If we ask for help now, it will take at least half a month, and there is insufficient evidence.

Liu Biao is only a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building and was transferred here only six years ago. The Baiyue Organization is likely to use this place as a subsequent development area.

At this moment, Zhu Wei felt that the brilliance on Li Mo's body was becoming brighter and more dazzling.

He felt touched in his heart and was impressed by Li Mo's decisiveness and fearlessness.

"Let's plan and arrange it carefully..."

Two days later.

Inside the Tianming Division of Beikou County.

Liu Biao suddenly received a report from his subordinates that a village chief who claimed to be from Shaling Village came to the Beikou County government office to petition the county magistrate for the people, saying that the people of Shaling Village were unwilling to leave and asked the county magistrate to make a decision for the people.

"Nonsense!"

After hearing this, Liu Biao quickly brought people to the county government office.

The county magistrate who was handling the case immediately showed anger when he saw Liu Biao coming.

"Sir Liu, why did you hide such a big thing as relocating the village from me? If anything goes wrong, I, the chief official of Beikou County, will bear primary responsibility!"

Liu Biao's expression changed slightly.

Although the two were not in the same yamen, the other party's official rank was half a grade higher than his.

"Master Gao has misunderstood. Shaling Village is just a small village on the edge of the Great Northern Wilderness, with only 20 or 30 households in total. Even if the Ministry of Destiny doesn't intervene to manage it, this village will naturally disappear in 20 to 30 years at most. So I am planning for the long term. On the one hand, it can greatly improve their lives, and on the other hand, it will improve public security..."

Upon hearing this, Kochi Prefecture pondered over it for a while.

After communicating with Liu Biao for a while, he looked at Village Chief Li in the audience.

And this person was played by Li Mo.

"The imperial court has its own laws. Since you, Shaling Village, are unwilling to relocate, I will make the decision for you today. All villagers who do not wish to leave their original residence may continue to stay. Please go back and register. I will send someone to conduct a detailed investigation later. Now, I am leaving."

Upon hearing this, Li Mo showed gratitude and kept thanking him.

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian, for standing up for the people!"

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian, for standing up for the people..."

Liu Biao's face was gloomy and he turned and left.

Li Mo secretly observed Deputy General Liu for a long time, and he felt a faint sense of oppression.

The man was seven feet tall, with sharp edges on his face. There were faint scars on his eyebrows, cheeks, and chin. He had a thick beard like steel needles and eyes as bright as torches. He didn't look like he was in his twilight years at all. Li Mo could sense the strong energy and blood in his body even from a few meters away.

This person is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

Moreover, he is different from Dou Chi in that sense of strong energy and blood.

Facing Liu Biao's blood and energy, Li Mo felt as if there was a thorn in his back, just like the feeling when he was attacked by a cheetah in the Eighteen Mountains. It was a very brutal, cold and aggressive aura.

Dou Chi's vigorous energy and blood give people a feeling of tolerance and inclusion.

"According to what Zhu Wei said, this person is very likely a body cultivator, or even a person who cultivates both body and soul?"

At present, Li Mo's understanding of the so-called dual cultivation of sex and life is only at the stage of understanding based on some records in books of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He simply believes that this is a method of dual cultivation of body and method.

Half a day later.

Li Mo left Beikou City and headed towards Shaling Village.

Needless to say, the desolate scenery along the way is breathtaking.

Just two days later.

A man flew from the sky in the distance. Without saying a word, he summoned his magic weapon. A seven-foot flying sword fell from the sky and went straight for Li Mo's head.

Ding!
Li Mo, who had been prepared, immediately took out the green steel shield to block the attack of the flying sword.

A tremendous spiritual power surge erupted between the two.

Li Mo took off his disguise, put the photo beads away, and chuckled.

"Hmph, Lord Liu, I thought highly of you and laid out so many follow-up plans. I didn't expect you to be so naive and fall for my tricks. How ridiculous!"

The attacker was Liu Biao.

"Who are you!"

Liu Biao was shocked.

Li Mo pointed to the photo beads on his chest.

"You attacked and killed civilians without reason. If you wish to leave, you may do so. I can report this to the court and, according to the law, arrest you and interrogate you."

Liu Biao quickly calmed down.

"Hahahaha!"

Then he actually threw his head back and laughed.

"You bold demon! I discovered you were a hidden evil cultivator in court long ago. I only held back because of the innocent people in the city. If you don't surrender now, you'll die!"

Li Mo showed a sarcastic look on his face.

He was about to take out Lu Qi's badge to strike a blow against the opponent's arrogance, and at the same time use it to delay time and wait for Zhu Wei to come to the rescue, thus forming an absolute advantage of having more people against fewer.

But then he seemed to have discovered something unusual, with a look of surprise on his face, and took out a jade box with a sealing talisman on it from his storage bag.

The jade box was constantly shaking, and the thing inside was struggling violently.

This was exactly the strange organism that he and Jiang Feiyan had accidentally discovered after they had killed the evil grasshopper in the Abandoned Infant Valley of Tongchao Town.

No matter what means the two used, they could not destroy this piece of tissue.

It has not dissipated with the passage of time.

What Li Mo didn't expect was that this piece of body tissue, which was like a dead object, actually reacted at this moment!
When Li Mo took out the jade box, Liu Biao's eyes suddenly widened. He looked at Li Mo in shock with an expression of disbelief.

"Who the hell are you!!"

At this time.

Li Mo noticed that strange black smoke suddenly rose from Liu Biao's body.

This seemed to be some kind of secret technique to temporarily increase strength, and the strange body tissue in the jade box had a violent reaction because of Liu Biao.

As the inspector of the Ministry of Destiny, Li Mo reacted immediately.

"So, this thing is the token of your White Moon Organization?"

"Token?"

Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

The black smoke covering his body began to grow thicker and thicker.

Then he actually stretched out a pair of oppressive black bone wings from behind him, with skin and veins protruding, as if something was wriggling in the muscle tissue.
