Youzhou City is located in the far east of the mainland, and is sparsely populated.
Although it is a city, there are only a few people in the world who have entered this city, and even fewer who have entered the city and come out.
In fact, not only people from outside, but also local people in Youzhou rarely walked around the rivers and lakes. It had been more than two thousand years since the last time someone from Youzhou appeared in the rivers and lakes.
Today, the gate of Youzhou City, which had been closed for a long time, was slowly opened.
An old man with a mustache stood at the gate of the city. A gust of breeze passed by, and the hems of his tattered trousers were fluttering in the wind, which looked a little funny.
His slender right hand hung down weakly, clenching his fist casually. Thick calluses were visible to the naked eye on the five fist peaks.
His spine was unable to straighten up due to the weight of the heavy coffin on his left shoulder. Several pieces of paint had fallen off the coffin, and the countless knife marks and sword carvings on the coffin were shocking.
Looking carefully, his left shoulder slumped significantly lower than his right shoulder, as if it was crushed by the coffin. The cloudy and yellow eyes exuded a strange light, which made people shudder just by staring at them.
He took a look inside the city and left slowly with steady steps, as if the heavy coffin on his shoulders did not bring any burden to him.
A few days later, a shocking news spread throughout the world, and the coffin bearer from Youfu reappeared.
…………
First day of June
After crossing the Chijiang River, we reach Jiangnan. Three hundred miles south of the Chijiang River, we are outside Jiangzhou City.
Next to the official road, Mo Bei was resting against a big tree. This road was the only way from Qingzhou to Zhumen. His second destination when going down the mountain this time was Zhumen.
More than a month ago, he received a letter from a flying pigeon on the Kunlun Mountains from a wealthy family. It was this letter that made him, who had lived in Kunlun for a long time, come down the Kunlun Mountains. It was also this letter that told him that the sword Zong’s death.
The Zhu family was far away in the south, but they knew a lot about his relationship with Jian Zong. By sending this letter, it was expected that he would not ignore the news of Jian Zong's death.
He was not familiar with the Zhu Clan, but the Zhu Clan claimed that Liao Liao was one of the ten masters in the world, a long-established master. He had heard of it after he came down from the mountain. In his opinion, the Zhu Clan obviously regarded him as an unknown junior. Too much attention.
Before he went down the mountain, there were only three people in the world who knew about his existence, and obviously, Zhang Lialiao was not included among them.
Therefore, he must go to the Zhumen in person to meet with the head of the Zhumen, and he also knows that Zhang Liolao must be waiting for him to come in person.
While he was thinking a lot, a cry for help came from the front.
"Help."
Mo Bei opened his eyes and followed the sound. After a moment, several figures appeared from the woods.
A girl with double ponytails was being chased by several people all dressed in red robes. The girl looked panicked, her originally delicate face was now gray and gray, and her white plain clothes were stained with bloodstains. Is it her own or someone else's.
When the girl was in panic, she saw a strong young man wearing tiger skin perched on the roadside, and she rushed towards him as if she had seen a life-saving straw.
At this time, Mo Bei had already stood up. When he saw the girl running towards him, he immediately guessed what the other party's plan was.
Although the girl looked embarrassed, the look on her face was full of cunning.
"Help, hero, someone wants to bully the little girl."
The girl dodged and cleverly hid behind Mo Bei.
Before Mo Bei could speak, several men in red had already come forward to greet him.
"Boy, it's none of your business. If you're wise, just get out of the way."
The leading man looked serious and raised the long knife in his hand, pointing at Mo Bei.
Although Mo Bei knew what the girl was planning, he was young and energetic after all, and could not bear to see people bullying such a weak woman. Naturally, he refused to be obedient and said coldly.
"No."
The leading man's expression froze, and then he laughed, and his companions behind him also laughed.
"Boy, people who dare to cause trouble with us are really rare in Jianghu. Tell me, are you from the west or the north?"
Mo Bei was a little confused. Does it matter whether he came from the west or the north?
Seeing Mo Bei's confused look, one of the men in red came close to the leading man, lowered his head and said
"Senior brother, this kid can't even understand this. It doesn't seem like he's from that family."
The leading man nodded, and the look he looked at Mo Bei suddenly seemed appreciative.
"It seems that he is a young boy who is just starting out. He is really full of energy."
Someone in the crowd behind suggested:
"Senior brother, business is important."
The leading man's expression turned serious, and the long knife in his hand suddenly appeared with a cold light, as if it was about to slash at Mo Bei at any time. He said coldly
"Boy, you are seeking death on your own. You can't blame us."
"puff"
The faint sound of breaking through the air came from the long knife in the hand of the leading man. His knife was surprisingly fast. When he heard the sound, the long knife had arrived.
This is the origin of his nickname Mo Xiao, the sharp knife, which hit Mo Bei's door directly.
Mo Bei looked at the knife quietly, without any panic in his eyes, but with a bit of amazement. The knife was as fast as the wind. After he came down from the mountain, he had seen people stronger than him, but he had never seen a knife faster than him.
Although Mo Bei's sword is not known for its speed, he is already a great master after all. No matter how fast an ordinary master's sword is, it is nothing more than that in his eyes. Therefore, this person's internal strength is not deep, but in terms of sword skills, Mo Bei's sword is not very fast. A lot of effort has definitely been put into the immersion.
He actually laughed heartily, and with a soft groan from the sword in his hand, he rushed forward.
"bump!"
The collision of the swords sparked a faint spark, and Mo Xiao's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he regained his composure.
"What a precise sword."
After a cry of admiration, the sword separated. The man's eyes were full of admiration. His right hand holding the long sword hung casually on the ground, but then, he held the long sword in his right hand backwards. In just the blink of an eye, a shallow line was drawn on the ground. There were traces of sparks flying, and in Mo Bei's eyes, the long knife slashed from bottom to top, and it was another extremely fast knife.
Mo Bei's eyes finally changed. This knife was not only faster than the previous one, but also more unexpected than the last one.
Just when the blade was about to cut open Mo Bei's abdomen, Mo Bei's left hand appeared strangely in front of the blade. He flicked his fingers with his left hand, and the blade of the blade trembled violently. Mo Xiao felt a numbness in his arm. , and he involuntarily let go of the knife.
The long knife was thrown to the ground, making a clanging sound.
Mo Xiao looked at the young man in front of him in disbelief, his lips turning white.
"You are the Grandmaster!"
He shot down his sword with just a snap of his fingers. This internal strength must be at least a master level.
Mo Bei's eyes were full of surprise at this time. If his internal strength was not far superior to this person, the knife just now could indeed pose a threat to him.
Mo Xiao's expression changed, he flew back, and he yelled eagerly
"Set up the formation, this is the Grandmaster!"
The companions behind him were shocked when they heard this, but they took action instantly. In the blink of an eye, six people, including Mo Xiao, surrounded Mo Bei and the girl. Mo Xiao stood in the formation. At this time, he was shaking His mood has recovered and he said calmly
"A grandmaster of your age is really impressive. I, Mo Xiao, have traveled all over the world. I have never seen or heard of it. However, whether you are a grandmaster or a genius, today I encountered the wrong sword from our sword sect. Formation, you are also unlucky."
When the girl behind Mo Bei saw this battle, her expression changed drastically, and she nervously said in Mo Bei's ear
"My hero, you can't stand it. This is a formation that is as famous as the Kuipiao sword formation in Jiange."
Mo Bei looked calm, the sword in his hand hanging casually on the ground. He looked around without any panic.
Mo Xiao saw it, and the admiration in his eyes became even greater.
"war!"
The two long knives advanced together, attacking Mo Bei from the front. At the same time, the two long knives from the back came backward.
Mo Bei picked up the girl's waist, jumped up slightly, and lightly stepped on one of the blades with his toes. He jumped over the heads of the four people and smoothly dodged the blow. At this time, the two flanking people jumped into the air. , Mobei had not yet landed, but was unable to move in the air. Seeing two long knives coming from the left and right sides, Mobei made a perfect turn in the air, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow. A blow.
But what Mo Bei didn't expect was that the two men's attacks were still just feints. Just when the two of them passed each other in front of Mo Bei and were about to separate in the air, the two of them strangely let go of the knife-wielding knife. With their right hands, the long knife slipped down, but was instantly caught by their extended left hand. After catching the long knife, their left hands stabbed backwards at Mo Bei who was in the middle in a surprising posture.
This was definitely an unavoidable blow, and what was even more frightening was that at this time, the other four people were already standing where Mobei landed. Even if Mobei could dodge the killing blow in the air, he would never be able to dodge it underground. A thunderous strike from four people.
The girl leaned against Mo Bei, her eyes full of despair, but at this moment, she suddenly felt waves of energy walls undulating towards her like ripples. She looked at Mo Bei in surprise, wondering what he was doing.
Mo Bei really couldn't avoid this blow. The two long knives stabbed Mo Bei and the girl steadily. However, when the long knives were still one foot away from Mo Bei, he felt that a wall of air was inserted out of thin air. It was soft and weak, but Feeling greatly blocked, they exerted force with their left hands, but could not advance the long knife any further.
Just like that, under the surprised eyes of the four people on the ground, the three people in the sky landed smoothly with extremely delicate postures, and the four people drew their swords in an instant. The sword stabbed Mo Bei steadily, but it also hit Mo Bei. A foot ahead, he stopped.
Several people just stopped for a few breaths, and the sound of heavy breathing could be heard.
Mo Xiao's lips were dry. He looked at the stagnant long knife in his hand, felt the blockage coming from the tip of the knife, and felt dizzy.
"Are you, Grand Master?"
"boom!"
The invisible air wall outside Mo Bei exploded, and waves of air swept outward, knocking the six people back several steps.
The girl only felt a breeze blowing on her face, and the desperate situation she had felt a few breaths ago was easily resolved by the young man beside her.
Mo Bei let go of the girl, walked towards Mo Xiao who was already looking dull, and asked lightly
"Are you from Daomen?"
Mo Xiao nodded. Facing a great master, he no longer had the courage to muster any resistance.
"Why are you chasing her?"
The girl's head emerged from behind Mo Bei, and she said coquettishly
"Hmph, disciples of these sects usually just use their power to bully others. Recently, they have gone crazy for some reason. They are arresting people everywhere, even weak women like me."
Mo Bei looked at Mo Xiao, looking forward to his answer.
Mo Xiao said hurriedly
"We just followed the order of the sect master. This girl looks exactly like the girl the sect master mentioned, so..."
The girl said angrily
"Okay, it turns out that your sect leader is still an old pervert, and he actually dares to arrest girls blatantly."
Mo Xiao saw that Mo Bei's expression was getting worse and worse, so he hurriedly explained
"That's not the case. The Divine Pill inside the door was stolen recently, and the owner of the door ordered the search for the thief king and a girl."
When the girl heard this, her eyebrows suddenly stood up and she said angrily.
"Which of you dogs saw me with the King of Thieves?"
Mo Xiao was stunned for a moment, and he finally came to his senses. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Mo Bei said calmly
"What does the girl you are looking for look like?"
Mo Xiao recalled it and said
"Twin ponytails, handsome appearance, about thirteen or fourteen years old."
Mo Bei looked at the girl beside him carefully and said doubtfully
"It was indeed you they were talking about."
The girl's big eyes were dazzling and she looked at Mo Bei innocently.
Mo Bei felt helpless for a while. He looked at Mo Xiao and said
"Since it's a misunderstanding, you can leave. She is not the person you are looking for."
Mo Xiao still wanted to speak, but seeing the slight chill in Mo Bei's eyes, he had no choice but to wave his hand.
"withdraw!"
The girl waved her pink fist at their backs, and her delicate features were squeezed together, but she still looked cute.
When Mo Bei saw the people from Daomen leaving, he turned to leave.
"Um!"
But the girl's slender arms held her arm.
"what are you doing?"
Mo Bei frowned, but the girl grabbed Mo Bei's arm and refused to let go. When he looked down, he saw the girl's iconic big eyes, staring at him.
"Hero, please take me with you."
Contrary to the girl's expectation, Mo Bei nodded without even thinking.
"good."
Mo Bei's straightforward agreement caught her by surprise, and a trace of surprise flashed across her big eyes.
Mo Bei looked at her expressionlessly, which made her feel a little confused about this young man.
The two pony tails swayed gently in the breeze
"Hello, my name is Chuxia."
Mo Bei was silent for a while.
"Mobei."
"Mobei, where are you going?"
"Keep going south."
Just like that, the strange duo continued on their way south.
