After Chen Mu left
Xu Hongyu sat beside the soft table and was in a daze. After a while, she suddenly turned to look at Xiao He and said, “Xiao He, you have been following me for eighteen years.”
Xiao He brought some water to Xu Hongyu and said sweetly, “It’s been a long time. Miss remembers it very clearly.”
“You are in the Yu family, do you have anyone you like?”
Xu Hongyu looked at Xiaohe and suddenly whispered.
“Nothing.”
Xiao He gently served Xu Hongyu to wash up and said, “I will only follow the lady in my life.”
Although she was only a maid in the Yu family, in this world, once she entered the status of Yi Jin, it would be different. If Xu Hongyu agreed, she could still marry into the Yu family, but she had never had such an intention.
Even if Chen Mu didn’t show up, she would always follow Xu Hongyu.
“Um……”
Xu Hongyu looked at the clear water in the basin, reflecting her beautiful face, and was in a daze.
Xiao He said quietly: “Miss, if you… I think you should make a decision earlier. Sooner or later, he will be a popular figure in our Yu County. Even if the head of the family knows about it, he will definitely be happy.”
“What are you talking about?”
Xu Hongyu turned to look at Xiao He, shook her head and said, “I’m not like that, I was just thinking…”
Since last night, she has been thinking about her father Xu Yichuan, but she has never dared to think about it deeply. Moreover, when she keeps thinking about it, the figure of Chen Mu appears. Maybe Chen Mu is very similar to her father. At the beginning of his career, he eventually surpassed everyone by relying on his own talent and hard work.
Xiao He pursed her lips and snickered: “If you are thinking about it, you are already attracted.”
“Xiaohe!”
Xu Hongyu finally couldn’t bear it anymore and reached out to grab Xiao He’s face: “I keep talking nonsense. I will be punished tonight by facing the wall and thinking about my faults and not allowed to sleep.”
“It hurts… Miss, we are going to hunt monsters tomorrow. How can I protect you if I don’t get enough rest? Please spare me this time, I won’t dare to do it again.” Xiao He looked at Xu Hongyu pitifully.
Xu Hongyu sighed and said, “Okay, let’s stop making trouble and rest early.”
Xiaohe watched Xu Hongyu get on the bed, and sighed softly for a moment. She had served Xu Hongyu for many years, and she knew Xu Hongyu’s mood very well, so how could she not know what Xu Hongyu was thinking.
But after all, the master has been missing for seventeen years.
It may not be the hands of the remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect.
Thinking about those things now would only increase her worries, so she kept making jokes. Although she had other ideas, she mostly wanted Xu Hongyu to recover as soon as possible.
……
the next day.
Chen Mu got up early.
Xu Hongyu and Xiao He also got up early, and Xiao He went to prepare meals early. When warriors reach the level of Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu, even though they can go without food or drink for several days, this will also deplete their own energy and blood. On the contrary, the daily food intake is much larger than that of ordinary people. If it is just an ordinary vegetarian meal, it is basically difficult to be full after eating a bowl.
Even ordinary meat can’t keep up with the consumption, so a little monster meat needs to be added.
Use breakfast.
Chen Mu inquired about Liu Ping, but as expected, there was no result for the time being, so he and Xu Hongyu and Xiaohe left the city and headed toward the northwest of Anyu County.
Among them, Xiao He, the weakest among them, also has the level of Yi Jin Xiao Cheng. Because this section is basically a plain, the more than 150 miles of journey can be crossed in less than an hour. This is to take care of Xiao He’s physical strength. Too much loss.
Got to the place.
There was only a very small village with about a hundred households. Several of the houses located on the outskirts of the village were all broken and collapsed. A terrifying claw mark could be seen in the signs of collapse, which was obviously not caused by human means.
“Are you sure what you saw that night was a wolf-like monster?”
Xu Hongyu stood in front of several villagers and asked them.
After several villagers looked at each other, they all looked at the person on the far left. He was about forty years old and was the village leader Gensheng.
Wang Gensheng seemed to have remembered something terrible, with a hint of fear in his eyes, and said: “Yes… yes, I heard the noise, took a peek, and saw one end, one end… one end was approaching me The wolf with a high chest tore open the house of the village head Widow Zhang’s house with one claw, and then gave Widow Zhang a bite…”
“Then the monster went to Tiejiang Li’s house again, and gave Tiejiang Li’s house…”
Xu Hongyu interrupted him and said, “Where were you at that time, and why didn’t the wolf demon target you?”
Wang Gensheng immediately scratched his head, showing an embarrassed look, and said: “I, I’m in the latrine…”
“where?”
Xu Hongyu continued to ask.
Wang Gensheng finally silently pointed to one of the several collapsed houses, including a half-collapsed hut.
Chen Mu glanced in the direction, and it seemed to be the hut of Widow Zhang’s house.
However, Xu Hongyu did not dwell on this issue. Instead, she walked all the way to the half-collapsed hut, looked up and down, and then continued to ask: “Did the wolf demon see you?”
“like……”
Wang Gensheng scratched his few hair.
At this time, Xu Hongyu nodded slightly and looked at Chen Mu, and Chen Mu also looked at her and nodded slightly at her.
“The white wolf demon is rated as level three in the Daxuan Monster Records. It is a common monster and does not like filth.”
Xu Hongyu couldn’t help but be slightly surprised when she heard Chen Mu’s words. She didn’t expect that Chen Mu knew so much about monsters when he went out of the city for the first time, so he nodded and said: “I think so, and it was the only day I came to the village. These two days But none of them showed up, probably because it was a full moon night, and all the wolf monsters were restless.”
“Um.”
Chen Mu said: “Then either take the initiative to search for its traces, or wait an extra month.”
Xu Hongyu shook her head and said, “Let’s look for it. One month is too long, and I have a ‘rosemary’ here that can make the monster crazy. As long as you follow the traces to find the vicinity of its lair, you can make it come out on its own initiative.”
“That’s fine.”
Chen Mu nodded.
After all, Xu Hongyu has a lot of experience in hunting monsters. He is basically equipped with some necessary items such as rosemary. He has only read some books on monsters, but there is no such content. However, after understanding this time, he will also do it next time. Will be equipped.
When Wang Gensheng saw Xu Hongyu turning around and leaving, he couldn’t help but step forward to hold Chen Mu, swallowed his saliva and said: “This little… no, this sir, are you really here to hunt monsters? That wolf monster is very vicious. That little girl just now…”
“Wang Cunzheng, just don’t worry.”
Chen Mu spoke calmly to Wang Gensheng.
In such a remote small village, even the Demon Slayer Division didn’t quite recognize it, probably because Xu Hongyu and Xiao He were both young girls, and they didn’t have much confidence in their hearts.
So Chen Mu casually flicked his fingers, and a wisp of strong wind burst out from his fingers, instantly penetrating half of the earth wall not far away, and suddenly splashed up a large amount of dust, spreading to the surrounding areas.
Wang Cunzheng looked at this scene, his eyes widened slightly, and then he quickly stepped away, with a look of awe on his face.
Chen Mu followed Xu Hongyu and quickly disappeared outside the village, following the traces of the wolf demon.
……
Just when Chen Mu and Xu Hongyu were chasing the wolf demon.
Yuzhou.
The Qixuan Sect is located in the north of central Yuzhou, less than a few hundred miles away from the city.
The sect is located between a majestic mountain range. It does not go deep into the mountains and only occupies the edge. Outside is a township under its rule. It is said to be a township, but in fact, because the Qixuan Sect is nearby, its prosperity is no less than One county.
It’s not a small thing.
After reporting at all levels, we arrived at the Deacon Hall of Qixuan Sect.
“The Heavenly Corpse Sect?”
Upon hearing this, several deacons frowned slightly.
After some deliberation, they could not make a decision, so a deacon continued to submit the document, all the way to a courtyard above the main peak of the Qixuan Sect, located behind the main peak hall, where the elders of the Qixuan Sect lived.
“A troubled time…”
A man who looked about forty years old and wore a loose blue robe couldn’t help but shook his head after listening to the deacon’s report. He looked at the misty mountains in the distance and said: “In the land of Hanzhou, there are monsters and strange movements. The land of Qingzhou is full of war smoke, the land of Beizhou is in chaos, and this Yuzhou will also be in chaos sooner or later. “
In today’s world, the government’s decrees no longer go out of Zhongzhou. The states in the world are either controlled by princes or divided by sects. They have developed with each other for decades. Until ten years ago, they were still in a peaceful stage.
But the power of the world will inevitably be chaotic for a long time.
Beizhou Zhenbei King led his troops to attack the Haoran Sect, which occupied the three counties of Beizhou. In just ten years, the entire Beizhou was in a mess. After the war spread, the neighboring states were There have been changes in the land, either sects have intervened, or separatist forces have secretly acted. As a result, starting three years ago, the four neighboring states of Yuzhou were in chaos.
Only Yuzhou has been ruled by the Qixuan Sect for decades, and the Qixuan Sect has closed its doors to the state and does not participate in affairs in other states. Therefore, Yuzhou is relatively stable to this day.
“Elder Qi, look…”
“First send someone to Zhongzhou to report to the court. The process still needs to be completed.”
Qi Zhiyuan, who was wearing green clothes, spoke slowly.
The fact that Yuzhou has remained relatively stable to this day is partly related to the fact that the Qixuan Sect has always been relatively obedient to the rules. Although it governs a state, it has not destroyed the court system, and even local governments still follow the court rules for governance.
“yes.”
The deacon bowed his head in response.
But just when he turned around and planned to deal with the matter, suddenly a long and long voice resounded throughout the mountain forest.
“Zuo Qianqiu, the true successor of Tianjian Sect, comes to pay homage to the mountain.”
The sound was not very loud, but it spread clearly throughout the mountains and deep valleys. It also had an indescribable sharpness, as if a mighty sword was standing in the sky.
for a while.
Throughout the Qixuan Sect, countless outer and inner disciples raised their heads and looked in the direction of the mountain gate in astonishment.
Before anyone could react, following the first sharp voice, a soft and charming voice quietly swayed across the valley: “Why is Senior Brother Zuo so impatient and doesn’t wait for Junior Sister… …hehe.”
This voice seemed soft and charming. Just by reaching the ears, it made people’s hearts flutter. Some of the outer disciples of Qixuan Sect were a little dazed. For a moment, they felt inexplicable and wanted to know the source of the voice. Who is.
But then.
An emotionless voice was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing all the fire at once.
“Xueyin Tower, Sikou Zhi, come to pay homage to the mountain.”
“Hey, Acacia witch, you worship the mountain, and you play tricks in front of other people’s mountain gates. If you annoy them and the whole sect comes out, then you can fight it alone. It depends on how many holes you have and how many sticks you can resist. Nail? Oh, by the way, Jiang Yifei, the true successor of Xuanji Pavilion, came to pay homage to the mountain and declare in advance that I am not the same as the demon girl. I just want to compete with your true successor.”
The last voice was very noisy, chattering endlessly, but after the long words fell, every word still resounded through the valley and clearly echoed throughout the entire Qixuan Sect Mountain Gate.
On top of the main peak.
The figure of the deacon suddenly stopped on the spot, showing a bit of astonishment, and turned to look at Qi Zhiyuan behind him.
Worship the mountain…
How many years has this happened?
Moreover, the Heavenly Sword is hidden in blood, and the Mysterious Acacia is joyful. These are good things and evil things, and they can come together no matter what.
Qi Zhiyuan sighed softly and said, “He’s here after all.”
If the world is stable and the Qixuan Sect is in one state, it will indeed be peaceful all the time. But now that all the states are in chaos, only Yuzhou is still peaceful. It has long been a thorn in the side of many forces in other states who want to destroy the Qixuan Sect. I don’t know how many people are pulling me into trouble, overtly or covertly, but sooner or later what is supposed to come will come.
If the true disciples came to worship the mountain a few decades ago, when the world was still relatively stable, most of them would have just studied martial arts and asked questions. But now, one person from each of the four true disciples came together for this purpose. It is no longer a simple argument about martial arts.
These four have only one purpose.
That is to enter Yuzhou.
As early as two years ago, Xueyin and Hehuan wanted to set foot in Yuzhou, but they were blocked by the Qixuan Sect. But this time with all four families here, things probably won’t be that easy.
Qi Zhiyuan slowly walked down the mountain. With every step he took, his figure landed dozens of feet away like a ghost. Soon the entire figure disappeared. In just a moment, he appeared outside the mountain gate of Qixuan Sect.
The mountain gate of Qixuan Sect is located at the bottom of the mountain.
On the rock wall next to it, there are three huge words “Qixuanzong” engraved in golden characters. At a glance, it has a shocking power. Along with the towering mountain peaks, it gives people a sense of majesty and solemnity. feel.
But at this moment.
In front of the mountain gate of Qixuan Sect, there are several figures standing in different directions. Some are wearing white clothes and carrying swords, with indifferent eyes, and some are wearing light gauze, with graceful figures and charming smiles on their lips.
There was also a person wearing a black cloak and a mask whose appearance was unclear, and someone carrying a strange bamboo basket. Each person had a different aura looming on his body.
Qi Zhiyuan’s figure quietly appeared inside the mountain gate. After taking another step, he came outside the mountain gate.
His eyes passed over the four young figures in front of him, and then cast his gaze behind them. Then he converged his gaze and said: “I, Qi Zhiyuan, are in seclusion as the headmaster of Qixuan. I will temporarily take over as the headmaster. Since the guest wants to worship the mountain, he is invited to climb the peak.”
“Junior has met Elder Qi.”
The young man carrying the bamboo basket first bowed politely, then grinned and said: “Senior, this time I came to pay homage to the mountain, but I came here on the orders of my master to compete with the disciples of Qixuan Sect in martial arts… If With a few tricks, the Qixuan Sect must allow the Xuanji Pavilion to enter Yuzhou. I don’t know what the seniors think.”
“If I win, Tianjianmen will enter Yuzhou.”
The man in white with the sword on his back spoke calmly.
The man in the cloak said in a low voice: “Xueyin Tower enters Yuzhou.”
at last.
Standing not far away, a woman wearing light gauze and a graceful figure like a girl smiled softly: “The Hehuan Sect also wants to move in.”
Qi Zhiyuan said calmly: “In that case, please invite me. However, even if you are better than my sect’s true successor, Yuzhou cannot be settled by you all, so how about… Yu County as an agreement? If you lose, you will not be allowed to enter Yuzhou again within two years.”
“Yu County, it’s a little remote, but it should be okay?”
Jiang Yifei touched his chin and looked behind him.
There was nothing behind him.
But that’s it.
“Can.”
“OK.”
“Can.”
Several plain voices came from different directions behind several people, but no one could be seen.
The transition plot was written a little slower, so this chapter has more words.
