Chapter 279 Lessons
Of course, Su Mu would not take the other person's life, but she would definitely teach him a lesson.
Since the other party likes the moon, Su Mu will give him one.
Su Mu looked up at the moon hanging in the sky, raised her fingertips and stroked the bright moon, picked up a touch of silver light, and condensed it into an illusory bright moon in her hand.
It looks just like the sky.
Su Mu threw him out casually. The bright moon arrived in front of Dou Zhuang in just an instant, with silver light flowing, and the full moon tilted and hit him head-on.
If it was not a means of attack, this moon was so beautiful that you couldn't take your eyes off it. The glow of the full moon enveloped him, and the defense built by his spiritual energy was shattered in an instant. Dou Zhuang suddenly took a sip of wine and hesitated when he was about to spit it towards the moon.
How could the Moon-Worshiping Sect blaspheme the moon?
Even though this moon was just a means of attack for the enemy, when the moonlight enveloped him, only a faint blue light remained before his eyes, followed by severe pain, as if all the bones in his body were crushed by this behemoth. His mind fell into a vast void, and he lost all perception, vision, and hearing.
It seems like a moment, and yet it seems like eternity.
When he regained consciousness, a ray of morning light appeared in the dark sky. He crawled up with pain all over his body. He didn't know where he was. He only knew that the scar might take years to heal. He took a sip of wine to numb the pain.
When he stood up again he was in complete shock.
Because Fa found him lying in the center of a deep pit several kilometers wide.
And this deep pit is a perfect circle, and it collided head-on with the moon.
I don't know where I was hit.

When the morning light broke, most ordinary people were unaware of what happened last night. When the sky was slightly bright, the streets were still very busy.
At the morning markets in Jiangnan, steamed buns are still a regular, as are fried fish and sweet glutinous rice cakes.
Su Mu hasn't been out to manage this kind of morning market for a long time. The glutinous rice cake tastes very good. I don't know what kind of beans are used in the delicate red bean paste, but it is slightly sweet, matched with the aroma of glutinous rice. There are also fried cakes and spring rolls, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. There are red bean paste and meat fillings, and there are many flavors for people to choose from.
If you feel too sick of it, there are also salty and fresh fish balls. The taste of pounded and deboned fish is also unique. The fish from the dense water network are the freshest and are freshly caught and cooked.
The place is bustling with people early in the morning. In addition to these, there are also steamed buns of various shapes, and meat sellers here and there. However, the morning market is not as good as the market. Most of the food is supplied to people in the surrounding area.
Walking on the street facing the rising sun.
Mirage Dragon commented on each item. For someone used to tasting delicacies from land and sea, these street snacks were a novelty, so he wasn't too harsh. He controlled his puppet as he walked and ate, casually asking, "Where did you take that Yangyue Sect member?"
"We just found a random wasteland and attacked it."
"Aren't you going to take a look? After all, it's a sect that has been affected."
"Just because I didn't go to check doesn't mean I didn't leave a mark on them. Before we're sure about the attitude of the silver toad, it's better to be careful with such a deeply affected sect." Su Mu broke off a piece of rice cake and gave it to the old goat to taste. This old guy was showing off his power yesterday.
Hidden.
Su Mu patted the old goat, but the old goat still had an expressionless look on his face, as if his praise was not as delicious as the rice cake in his mouth. This was completely different from Xuan Mo's attitude, but he didn't care.
The streets were bustling with people chatting with each other.
Because of this, the affairs of the Zheng family spread quickly throughout Jiading Prefecture through gossip. To ordinary people, the Zheng family and Duke Zheng were already extremely powerful figures.
According to rumors, which are not really rumors, everyone who lives near Duke Zheng's Mansion knows that Duke Zheng of the Zheng family passed away suddenly last night, and the Duke's Mansion has been hung with white silk.
The death of such a high-ranking figure still caused heated discussions, of course not directly, but behind the scenes. Otherwise, if you said something wrong, you would inevitably be imprisoned. How could ordinary people discuss such a person?
However, there are different opinions on how he died. Dadiao died of natural causes. At Duke Zheng's age, it was considered a long life in a dynasty where the average life expectancy was only forty or fifty years old.
However, some people also talked about conspiracy theories. Some said that he was framed, some said that he died in a power struggle in his family, and some even said that he was killed by evil spirits, or that he was taken away by the gods. Some people even linked it to the strange light in the sky last night, saying that it was because Duke Zheng had accumulated virtue and done good deeds, and his merits were perfect, so he was taken away by the gods.
Many people believe this obviously nonsense.
Although most people didn't notice the strange light yesterday, there were always a few night owls who saw it.
There was a strange light last night, and Duke Zheng died today. These two things will inevitably be connected together, but there are people behind this. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a rumor or public opinion. What matters is that someone believes it, and as long as there are many people who believe it, that’s enough.
In order to survive, the Zheng family tried their best.
Especially in some restaurants, gossip is the easiest to spread. Jiading Prefecture is the territory of the Zheng family, and the local tyrants may try to guide it.
With the endorsement of the priest of the Shengjun Temple and the propaganda of public opinion, rumors about evildoers are inevitable, but they cannot be highlighted. The emperor also learns about them through intelligence, and it is impossible for him to inspect them in person.
What's more, it's God, this is a real thing. Compared with what they imagined, the situation now is indeed much better.
The result of this is that the title of Duke will be taken away, but the remaining people will still be able to gain a foothold in the court. The worst result is that they will be forced to resign, but their lives will not be in danger and they can live peacefully as rich men in Jiading Prefecture.
Even if they don't have official positions, they can still live well with their old connections.
The premise is that the emperor believes that it is a god and not a demon.
This led to all kinds of news flying around, and Su Mu heard all the gossip from others.
"You've caused quite a stir. Even after his death, he can still earn the title of a man of perfect merit. His life is not in vain." Su Mu laughed.
The Mirage Dragon didn't care about this at all.
"Come to think of it, there was such a big commotion yesterday, why didn't the City God come out to take a look?"
"Why are they coming out? To kowtow to you, the Holy Lord?" Mirage Dragon replied with a smile.
