"Boom!" The loud noise scared away several beasts that were eating corpses in front of the boulder. The boulder was shattered, revealing the cave behind. A figure walked out of the shadows, looked up and looked outside, and the warm sunlight shone on his face. On the body, Wuming closed his eyes to feel the warmth, because after staying in a dark cave for a long time, it took some time to adapt to the changes in light.
After a while, Wuming opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief. He walked to a river he saw when he came and squatted down. He passed his hands through the cool river water, picked up the river water and slapped it on his face, washing away the dust and some unknown black matter on his face. substance.
Wuming stared at the face reflected on the river in a daze. It wasn't that he was narcissistic, but he always felt that he was a little strange in the water. I don't know when his face changed. It wasn't that he became uglier, but that the facial features on his face became more three-dimensional. The skin will also become much whiter.
This made Wuming think about whether it was a change brought about by practice.
Wuming pinched his face, and soon felt relieved. It was rumored that those immortals and fairies were all handsome and graceful in appearance. Maybe this was the other benefits of practicing cultivation besides strength.
Going further upstream, he filled the water bladder in the space bag, and Wuming began to move towards Dayan Kingdom in the direction indicated on the map.
Wuming didn't just keep walking on the road. When he encountered some useful herbs, he would stop to pick them and put them in a space bag for storage.
After more than two months of long journey, Wuming entered the territory of Dayan Kingdom.
And his realm has also climbed all the way to the sixth level of soul refining with unremitting efforts, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the seventh level. He feels that the beginning of menstruation is not a burden as Ren Pingsheng said, and it seems to be very suitable for him. .
When Wuming walked out of a forest and saw a town standing in front of him, he couldn't help but be startled. After taking a deep breath, he walked into the town. However, Wuming hadn't even taken a few steps into the town when he saw a group of people carrying various things. Come this way.
Most of them were farm tools, such as hoes and sickles. They seemed to be residents of this town, but these residents came in groups like this and looked aggressive, which was very abnormal.
When the crowd arrived near Wuming, the leader holding a hoe frowned and looked at Wuming, and then looked at the man holding a sickle behind him. The two looked at each other and nodded.
The leader shouted loudly: "Come on, big guy, catch this guy first!" Then this person took the lead and rushed towards Wuming, and the people behind him also rushed up after him.
Although Wuming didn't understand what was going on, he just walked into this town and was about to be caught. When he saw the other person, he was going to pounce on him. He didn't intend to sit back and wait for death, just let the other person catch him.
Wuming first retreated to avoid the leading man, snatched the hoe from his hand and slapped him on the body, causing him to retreat for more than ten meters. With a slight wave of the handle, the man holding the sickle who arrived later was gone. Fall to the ground.
Wuming threw away the hoe and took the sickle that fell to the ground. He picked up the fallen man, put the sickle on his neck, and shouted to the crowd who wanted to rush forward: "Don't come here! I'll kill you if you come back again." he!"
As he spoke, the sickle in Wuming's hand moved upward again, and red blood seemed to flow out.
Everyone present was frightened by Wuming's formation, especially the man in Wuming's hand. They were afraid that Wuming's hand would slip and kill him.
Wu Yong, who was pressed against the sickle, said in a trembling voice: "Friends, friends, if you have something to say, please move the knife away first." It was obvious that he was really frightened.
But Wuming did not listen to him and instead stared at the group of people in front of him. He was very angry now. Not long after he arrived in this town, these people came over to catch him. Although Wuming was young, he was also A tempered one!
The group of people all looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a moment. There was a hostage in Wuming's hands, and he was afraid that Wu Yong would be captured by him if he didn't do anything right. No one dared to act rashly in this situation.
In the end, the man who rushed to him stood up and said, "My friend has something to talk to, please let Wu Yong go first." Wuming then looked at him, but did not move away from the knife in his hand.
Zhao Rui had no choice but to tell the crowd to retreat before coming forward to communicate with Wuming.
"I'm sorry, friend. It's our Meng Lang who offended my friend. I apologize to my friend. I just want my friend to let go of my brother first." Zhao Rui bowed and clasped his fists, saying one friend at a time, wanting Wuming to let Wu Yong go first. .
"I need an explanation. Why are you coming to arrest me just after I entered the town?" Wuming was not in a hurry to let go of Wu Yong, but wanted the other party to explain the matter clearly to him first. He did not want to suffer such an unreasonable disaster.
"Alas." Zhao Rui sighed first and then said: "Friends don't know, our name is Qingshui Town, it is an unknown small place in Wenzhou. Although the place is small, the residents live a comfortable life, but the previous period I don’t know since when, children have disappeared in the town repeatedly.”
"Two more children disappeared today, so we organized ourselves to find the thieves who abducted the children and rescue them. As for why you wanted to arrest your friend, it's because..." At this point, Zhao Rui paused.
"It's because there are very few outsiders in our area, and the loss of children only started recently, so we concluded that it was done by outsiders. We happened to see you at the entrance of the town. You were dressed like a savage, and you didn't look like a good person, so We just..." After Zhao Rui explained everything that happened before, he looked at Wuming eagerly, hoping that he would let Wu Yong go first.
Wu Ming also roughly understood the cause and effect of this, which was that children were often lost in the town recently, so they gathered a group of people and planned to look for the children. They happened to see themselves, a ragged outsider, so they wanted to take him down first. , but Wuming is a cultivator, otherwise he would have been captured by a group of them at this moment, and then interrogated where the child was captured by him.
After thinking about the cause of the matter, Wuming couldn't help but feel angry that he had been blamed for such a big mistake just after entering this town.
Wuming said solemnly: "I just came to this town and I ran into you. I didn't do anything. The loss of that child has nothing to do with me." After saying that, he threw the sickle aside and let go of Wu Yong's hand. Wu Yong stood up quickly and stretched his hand to the place where the knife had just touched his neck.
"Yes, yes, we were reckless and offended our friends. Now that it's over, we'll hold a banquet to apologize to our friends." Zhao Rui was ashamed, knowing that they were in the wrong.
Wuming saw that he had nothing to do, so he asked Zhao Rui where there was a clothing store and how many clothes he wanted to buy.
When Zhao Rui heard this, he waved to the crowd behind him and shouted: "Boss Ke, come here!" Then a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd. When he came closer, Zhao Rui said: "Old Ke, this young man wants to buy some clothes. , your clothing store has the best clothes in the town, please take this young man to your place to buy some clothes."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked anxious and wanted to say something, but he saw Zhao Rui opposite, with his back turned to Wuming, winking at him. The next moment he understood something.
Wuming looked at them in confusion. Although Zhao Rui had his back turned to him and couldn't see what he was doing, the expression of the man named Ke suddenly changed, and he seemed to be not simple anymore.
The middle-aged man crossed Zhao Rui and clasped his fist towards Wuming and said, "This young master, I am Ke Zhenxing, the owner of the largest clothing store in Qingshui Town. I could have taken him to buy clothes right away, but I was arrested this time." The child is my child, so I am brave enough to ask the young master to help me find the child, and then the young master can just pick it out in the clothing store and give it to the young master for free."
Wuming now understood why Ke Zhenxing's expression changed so quickly. It turned out that he was waiting for him here.
Zhao Rui knew that his child was lost, and seeing that Wuming was very good at getting rid of him and Wu Yong so easily, and wanted to buy clothes, the best choice was to go to Ke Zhenxing. Both parties wanted something, so he called this The clothing store owner comes over.
I have to say that this businessman's mind was very fast and he quickly understood what Zhao Rui meant.
Wuming thought for a moment and then agreed to the matter. First of all, he didn't have much silver on him, and Emperor Yan didn't know how much silver he would need. It would be better to save some, and he couldn't bear to see a child being abducted. Just sit back and do nothing.
Seeing Wuming nodding in agreement, Ke Zhenxing and Zhao Rui's faces lit up with joy. Although they couldn't see any clues, they knew from just those two words that the person in front of them was not simple and would be helpful to them in finding a child.
"Do you have any clues about the missing child?" Wuming asked his own question, wanting to understand the situation first before making a judgement.
When Zhao Rui and others heard the question, they all shook their heads and sighed, "To tell you the truth, if there were clues, we wouldn't have so many people looking for them in the town. Those children disappeared very quickly. They came over when I heard the cry. By that time, the children had disappeared." Ke Zhenxing recalled that at that time, he was discussing business with customers outside the clothing store, and suddenly heard the child's scream. When he rushed over, the child had disappeared.
Now when I think about it, Ke Zhenxing still feels annoyed, regretting why he didn't watch the child more and let him be kidnapped by someone who didn't know.
Wuming was silent for a moment, but did not get any useful information. "Let's go to the place where the child disappeared recently and look for any clues." Wuming suggested.
"Okay, okay, please come this way." Ke Zhenxing stepped forward quickly and led the way. He was very sad about the loss of the child and had no clue about it.
When Wuming and his party arrived at the clothing store, Wuming saw a lot of gorgeous cloths on shelves outside, which was very attractive.
"Sir, please look. Two children were playing under the big tree behind the cloth. When I passed by, no one was there." Ke Zhenxing pointed to a big tree in front of him. Wuming looked at it and saw that the height of the cloth was a bit high. If it is high, children will definitely be blocked, but adults should not be invisible.
It seems that the person who kidnapped the child shouldn't be too tall, "Huh?" There were a few leaves and fallen branches under the tree that caught Wuming's attention. This didn't seem too abnormal, but from the break of the branch, Wuming could see Something was wrong. The fracture didn't seem to fall naturally, but was broken by gravity.
As a herb collector who collects herbs in the mountains all year round, Wuming could easily see this. When Wuming climbed up the tree and took a few glances, he found something.
