For most ordinary people in the dynasty, they will never have the opportunity to leave their hometown, let alone the ability to travel to the land of another state.
But for the cultivators in the dynasty, they can naturally go further and see more scenery. One day they will discover that the Mugina Dynasty is just one of the dynasties in Taishi Continent.
Although it is the dynasty with the longest history and the most powerful military in Taishi Continent, it is only the strongest among the dynasties.
In the entire Taishi Continent, there are ten other major families, as well as many powerful and mysterious forces, which the Mujin Dynasty does not want to easily provoke.
After standing on the top of the Imperial Mountain for many years, although he was also old and decrepit, Butcher Hu stood higher and could see farther. He naturally knew what kind of powerful force the words "Xishan Lin Family" represented.
It was the most powerful monk family in the Hundred Thousand Mountains further west of the imperial dynasty, and was also one of the ten great families in Taishi Continent.
Butcher Hu's eyes were slightly vacant, and he was wondering if he had been plotted by that bastard Jiang Shangxiu. The matter was not as simple as what the other party explained in his letter.
He pulled out the long sword stuck in Zhang Zizhen's leg, touched Zhang Zishan's cheek with the cold blade of the sword, and said coldly: "It's your bluff. Are there people like you two among the people sent by the Xishan Lin family to do things?"
"If you don't tell the truth, my next sword will be inserted directly into the aorta of your eldest brother's thigh. Once the blood vessel is severed, it will shrink into the flesh and never be found again. Gods cannot save you. You have to believe in the butcher. Ten years of craftsmanship.”
"I'm telling the truth. My brother and I used to be the leaders on a mountain in Xishan. Later, because we provoked people we shouldn't mess with, we joined the Lin family in Xishan not long ago. We were only junior worshipers. But my brothers His set of combined attack techniques cannot be underestimated even compared to ordinary second-grade ones."
Zhang Zishan has been struggling with the impact of the word "garbage" on him, so he added the last sentence.
Butcher Hu believed it a little and asked, "What is the relationship between the Lin family in Xishan and the Liu family in Jinguancheng?"
"This..." Zhang Zishan looked embarrassed and tried to remain silent.
"Huh? Don't tell me." Butcher Hu pretended to stab Zhang Zizhen's thigh with his sword again.
Zhang Zishan's silence was finally broken and he said quickly: "This can be regarded as a secret matter of the Lin family in Xishan. It was widely spread in Xishan. It was said that the eldest daughter of the Lin family died unexpectedly while in seclusion to accept the family inheritance. Now it seems that it is actually a lie. Yes. I only got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg when I came out this time. It seems that Miss Lin ran away for some reason, married the current head of the Liu family, and gave birth to a daughter."
"Anyone who asks me about the first part of Xishan Realm will know that I didn't lie to you. The following are just my own guesses." Zhang Zishan was afraid that Butcher Hu thought he was fooling him, so he said sincerely.
Butcher Hu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked, "Isn't Miss Liu's granddaughter from the Lin family in Xishan?"
"That's right." Zhang Zishan spoke more and more fluently, seeming to sense Butcher Hu's fear, and continued to add: "This time my brothers came here with their mistress to take back Miss Liu's family."
"Your mistress is here too?" Butcher Hu was startled and quickly looked outside the house, thinking that the other party was also in Qingchuan Pass Town.
Zhang Zishan understood the other party's expression and said with a helpless smile: "My mistress cannot take action easily. This is a tacit understanding maintained between the ten families and the secular dynasty, so I only sent two of my brothers."
When he saw that he had finished speaking, he quickly showed off his experience in the mountains and fields for many years, and asked in a flattering tone: "I don't know how this senior will deal with my two brothers. If you think I offended you at the inn before, then I will I can personally host a banquet for you to apologize."
Butcher Hu saw this and felt inexplicably funny in his heart. The other party was obviously no longer a wild cultivator, but when the other party was at the critical moment of life and death, in order to survive, he still couldn't conceal the shrewd philistine energy that only a wild cultivator would show.
"The world is not worth it, it's just the great road. What is the great road? I dare not die."
After Tufu Hu sighed in his heart, he said calmly: "You two brothers, just stay here for me. Whenever I want to let you go, you can leave."
He didn't want to explain too much. When he stopped the two brothers before, he didn't want to kill each other, but to prevent them from interfering with what should have happened long ago.
…
On the second floor of Dangguan Inn, Mu Qing and his party were going downstairs.
Liu Weirui told Li Si, who was catching up with the last meal: "In the next period of time, you and your sister will stay together to take care of each other, and try not to mix with the people in Tieguzhai."
Li Sihui misunderstood and quickly confessed: "Miss, don't worry, I know our relationship with those bandits. I just felt bored, so I was bragging to those people."
Xiaochan twisted her brother's arm and said softly: "Idiot, Miss, that's not what you meant."
"Hiss—" Li Si gasped with his mouth flat.
Speaking of his young lady's stunning appearance, no one would want to be with her, but Li Si also had his own little plans in mind.
The so-called bystander knows that although he seems a bit dull, he also knows that the young lady seems to have hidden affection for Mu Qing, and that his sister also...
This made him how to stay with this group of people.
He looked at his sister's delicate and pretty face and said with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid that you will punish me every day, sister."
Liu Weirui chuckled and said: "Xiaosi, you misunderstood me. I meant that you may encounter danger next. It's safer for you to stay with your sister."
"This..." Li Si looked at his sister with a depressed expression.
"Hmph!" Xiaochan, who is lively by nature, said impatiently: "You are only in the seventh level, and your sister and I are in the fifth level. I can beat you with one hand."
Mu Qing watched this heartwarming scene quietly, and couldn't help but think of his sister Shaoyao who was far away in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.
He was about to speak, but his tone immediately faltered.
The man walking towards them had a slightly scruffy green beard and a handsome and handsome face. The negative and decadent twilight and the gradually regenerating vitality were intertwined with each other, and there was a faint increase in vitality.
When Yue Jiu entered the door, he almost determined Liu Weirui's identity based on the description in his mind, but he did not find Mu Qing in the information provided by the bookstore.
So when Mu Qing was sizing him up, Yue Jiu was also sizing up Mu Qing.
Mu Qing's energy was completely gone, and his specific cultivation level could not be seen. However, judging from Mu Qing's calm and composed behavior even after he sensed the escaped sword intent that he could not contain temporarily, Yue Jiu guessed the opponent's strength. Should be good.
Yue Jiu slowly lowered her head and quickly glanced at Liu Weirui's charming face with her lowered eyes. While sighing at the beauty of the other party, she couldn't help but feel a little apologetic and confused.
Yue Jiu said: "The waiter will serve the wine!"
Mu Qing said at the same time: "The waiter pays the bill."
After the two were stunned for a moment, they nodded to each other and greeted each other calmly.
The waiter rushed over, apologized to Yue Jiu and said, "I'm really sorry, sir. I thought you wouldn't come back, so I took away your food and drinks. The boss just told me that I would directly fill up a table for you." as an apology”
The sparkle in Yue Jiu's eyes faded away. He didn't know if there was some force hidden in the inn that had seen something.
He just dropped the money on the table and left without saying hello. It was considered as paying and leaving, and the other party really didn't need to be so low-key.
In fact, the fundamental reason why Xiao Er acted like this was still the slightest hint of sword intent emanating from him.
The boss behind the inn had a good eye and noticed that the atmosphere between this group of people was not right. He was afraid that if these people who met on a narrow road did not have the same minds, they would fight and tear down the inn after a disagreement, so he had such an arrangement.
Mu Qing smiled slightly, remembering the food and wine that had not been cleared away when his group went upstairs, and thought of many things.
His eyes began to look at Yue Jiu openly, and their eyes intertwined in the air. Although there was no obvious smell of gunpowder, even Li Si, who was dull by nature, had noticed the elusive meaning in it.
Yue Jiu nodded. Although he was surprised to meet so early, he still maintained his normal mentality. He would not take action until he had consolidated his entry.
Outside the inn's main street, Mu Qing and his group walked towards Honglu Inn in silence.
"He is the one who won." Mu Qing suddenly broke the silence.
Liu Weirui moved closer to him and asked quickly: "The sword cultivator from the Qingchuan Pass Canyon who won in the end?"
"Yeah." Mu Qingjian's eyes narrowed slightly, recalling the pure coldness of the sword's intention just now, and sighed softly: "I guessed wrong."
"Guessed something wrong?"
"I thought he needed time to digest and understand before he could make a breakthrough, but I didn't expect that he would break through to his original level as soon as the battle was over. It seems that the opponent has been at the third level for some time."
"So the other party is a second-grade sword cultivator?" Liu Weirui was inexplicably surprised.
"Yes." Mu Qing nodded and smiled: "That's how cultivation is. When the opportunity comes, you may be promoted in an instant if you accumulate a lot of experience."
Li Si patted his forehead, thinking that he was only at level 7 and might not be able to block the opponent's sword energy, so he couldn't help but feel deeply helpless.
Xiaochan thought further, recalling: "His eyes glanced at the young lady just now, but no one can help but look at the young lady who is so beautiful. She doesn't have any hostility towards us."
"Mu Qing, what do you think?" Liu Weirui found that she relied more and more on the opinion of the person next to her.
Mu Qing nodded and said: "There is indeed no hostility, but the other party's mood fluctuated greatly after being promoted to the second level, so I have understood some of the implications."
He looked at everyone and said directly: "That's a kind of apology and loss."
"He didn't do anything to apologize to the lady, how could this happen?"
Liu Weirui sighed softly: "It doesn't matter so much, let's have a good rest tonight. We will leave early tomorrow and try to get home early."
…
In the inner city of Zhuque, the study room of the city lord's mansion.
Bai Hao asked with a hidden smile in his eyes: "Second gear will not rest for a few more days. Although the poison on your body has been removed, it will be bad if you develop a hidden disease."
Geng Jian never liked to live with those under the emperor who played tricks and intrigues, so he said softly: "Thank you City Master Bai for the Ten Thousand Flowers Pill, my poison has been eliminated."
"Yes." Bai Hao, wearing a black gold silk robe, stood up and showed even more wealth and majesty. He smiled and said, "The poison in the second gear head is very strange. I have asked all the pharmacists in the city to give it. For the specific diagnosis and treatment prescription, fortunately, I went through all the trouble to obtain this precious Ten Thousand Flowers Pill from the Hidden Valley Spring Mansion."
Geng Jian's eyes flashed, and he said softly: "Thank you City Lord for saving your life. If City Lord has something to do in the future, I can help you once."
Bai Hao said with a carefree smile: "Brother Geng is serious. You and I are both His Majesty's ministers. It's time to get to know each other a long time ago."
Geng Jian nodded and said coldly: "The person responsible for the Quanfu lineage in Suzaku City is Chen Zhuo. Please be careful, City Master, and don't be tainted with too much karma."
Bai Haohu's eyes showed a cold look, he shook his head softly and said: "Brother Geng is worrying too much. Speaking of which, do you know the true identity of the person who hurt you?"
Geng Jian saw the victory of the sword light in his eyes. He placed his palm lightly on the hilt of the obsidian sword and said seriously to Bai Hao: "I would like to hear the details."
