At night, Xuan Cheng told Shen Muzhi a lot of things about cultivation, and also talked about some things about the cultivation world.

The existence of monks is not unknown to all ordinary people in the world, otherwise, there would not be so many fairy stories handed down.

It's just that in the territory of the Jin Kingdom, there are no particularly large sects, and those small cultivation families and sects, due to certain rules, are not allowed to interfere with the rules of the mundane world at will, so they rarely enter the WTO. And these cultivation families and sects basically rarely accept foreign disciples, so relatively speaking, they are not very well known to outsiders.

But on the side of the Yuan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom, it will be different, and there are still many people who know that such a part of the people exists.

Moreover, not all of these sects or families are hidden in the depths of the clouds, some are hidden in Daze, and some are living in the market. For example, on the side of Qi country, there is a Zen sect, which is like this.

Moreover, on the side of Qi State, almost everyone knows that Zen disciples have great abilities.

However, they also have the same rule, that cultivators must not interfere with the rules of the mundane world.

After Shen Muzhi heard this, he asked Xuan Cheng, "Which sect are you from?"

Xuan Cheng glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, "All the cultivators in this world, except for those who have sects or are from families, there are actually some people. These people were either expelled from the sect or family, or they were lucky enough to inadvertently embark on the path of cultivation. This part of the people is called Ye Xiu!"

"Ye Xiu?" Shen Muzhi frowned slightly, this title sounded like an orphan in the mortal world, with a bit of a sad feeling.

Xuan Cheng looked at him: "In the future, you will also be regarded as one of the wild cultivators." ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, he inexplicably thought of his current situation. Now, I can't return to my home, and I'm almost like an orphan, and now I have an identity as a wild cultivator, which is quite appropriate.

He smiled and said, "This name is quite vivid!"

Xuan Cheng also smiled. The smiles of the two of them hide their own sadness and sadness.

Soon, the night passed.

Shen Muzhi, who had rested all night, coupled with his first practice, couldn't help but feel refreshed, and the whole person felt a little lighter.

Speaking of today's itinerary, Xuan Cheng said: "Not far from here, it is Baishui Town. I can only send you there. When the time comes, you wait for me outside the town for a while, and I'll go into the town to get something, and you can take it with you when the time comes. You can't go this way north empty-handed. ”

Shen Mu's heart was moved by Xuan Cheng's thoughtfulness for him, and he wanted to say something, but when a thousand words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

As the so-called great grace does not say thank you, Shen Muzhi could only bow deeply to Xuan Cheng in silence.

Xuan Cheng didn't stop either. When he straightened up, the two of them packed up their things and left the room.

The two of them did not walk long before they came out of the forest and onto the mountain road. After turning over a hill, I saw the small town of Baishui not far away.

Shen Muzhi chose a hidden place less than a mile outside the town and hid. Xuan Cheng rushed to Baishui Town alone.

Xuan Cheng said that he would come back in an hour at most. If he doesn't come back in an hour, he doesn't have to wait.

Shen Muyi didn't understand why Xuan Cheng said this at first, and it wasn't until he walked away that he suddenly came back to his senses.

Xuan Cheng's senior brother, Xuan Dao Chang, died because of him. This shows that the people who chased and killed him must have known that their brothers saved him. What if there were people chasing him in Baishui Town at this moment, and they happened to be met by Xuan Cheng?

Also, Xuan Cheng said before that now the nearby towns are full of his bounty wanted. Since the other party already knew that it was their senior brother who saved him, would the bounty list also draw a portrait of Xuan Cheng?

Although Xuan Cheng is not an ordinary person, the old saying is that two fists are hard to beat four hands!

In case Xuan Cheng also had an accident because of him, how should he deal with himself?

Thinking of this, Shen Muzhi couldn't wait. After looking left and right, and seeing that there was no one around, he reached out and grabbed a few handfuls of mud on the ground, wiped it on his face, and messed up his hair and clothes, and after making him look like a beggar, he hurriedly chased in the direction of Xuan Cheng.

It's just that Xuan Cheng's legs and feet are extremely fast, and Shen Mu chased him all the way to the entrance of the town, but he didn't catch up.

On the pillar of the archway standing at the entrance of the town, there are several bounty slips, and a few people are gathered there, pointing and muttering.

Shen Muzhi saw that no one around him seemed to be paying attention to him, so he was bold and leaned towards the archway.

Soon, he was behind the people, stood on his tiptoes, and looked at the bounty slip attached to the bamboo, and his heart sank at this look.

Sure enough, there was a bounty list for him, and the amount of the bounty was not small, it was fifty taels of gold. Take a look at the other bounty lists, the people on them are all some Jiangyang thieves, or murderers, and the highest is only ten taels of gold. Unexpectedly, his reward was fifty taels. It seems that the one in the family is really willing to pay for it!

Shen Muyi thought about it and smiled bitterly.

However, none of these bounties are related to Xuan Cheng. That's a good thing.

At this time, among the onlookers in front, someone found Shen Muzhi standing behind, turned his head to see his sloppy appearance, and immediately waved his hand away with disgust: "Look at it! You beggar, can't you still be literate!"

Shen Muzhi was afraid of being recognized, so he hurriedly lowered his head and ran away in a hurry.

After he walked around here again, he still didn't see Xuan Cheng. Watching the time pass bit by bit, he began to walk back, worried that he would miss it with Xuan Cheng.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the entrance of the town, someone followed him.

Shen Muzhi is not an ordinary child who doesn't know anything, even if he doesn't talk about this just beginning practice, he is also a martial artist who has achieved a little success.

So, soon, he found out that someone was following him. At first, he wasn't sure that the two were coming for him, so he quickened his pace to get rid of them. However, as soon as he accelerated, several people behind him immediately followed. In this way, the purpose of the latter two is already obvious.

It seems that he was seen just now, despite his caution.

Shen Muyi thought of countermeasures in his heart, and hurried to the position he had agreed with Xuan Cheng before.

The two people behind him kept a place seven or eight feet away from him, and they didn't get close or get away. walked until they reached the position agreed between Shen Muzhi and Xuan Cheng, and the two behind suddenly accelerated to catch up.

After Shen Muzhi noticed it, he took out the jade cube from his chest and hid it in his right sleeve, and at the same time also accelerated towards that position.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind him: "Third Young Master, we are here to find you on the orders of Uncle Lian!"

The word 'Uncle Lian' suddenly made Shen Mu's heart chuckle, and his feet slowed down. In that family, in addition to his father and eldest brother, only Uncle Lian was really good to him.

Now Uncle Lian has sent someone, is he here to help him?

Since leaving the General's Mansion that night, he has been assassinated along the way, and he finally survived. He is only twelve years old, although he has always behaved calmly and calmly after waking up, but in fact, the helplessness and loneliness in his heart are only clear to him.

At this moment, these two people said that they were sent by Uncle Lian, and this name that could bring him warmth as soon as he heard it made his lonely and helpless heart suddenly gush out of a lot of sad grievances that had been suppressed. He couldn't help but stop, turned his head and looked at the two people chasing after him.

The two of them were three or four feet away, and they were quickly approaching Shen Muzhi. In the blink of an eye, it was near.

Seeing that they seemed to be about to continue approaching, Shen Muzhi's face changed slightly, and he stepped back, shouting at the same time: "Stop!"

The two looked at each other and stopped.

One of the men with a long beard bowed towards Shen Muzhi and arched his hand, and persuaded in a deep voice: "Third Young Master, go back with us." ”

Shen Muzhi looked at them and asked, "You just said that Uncle Lian sent you?"

Hearing this, the beard froze for a moment before replying, "To be exact, the general sent us." ”

Shen Muyi listened and looked at them. The posture of these two people is straight, and the knife on their waists is also different from the ordinary broadsword, which is the standard short knife used in the army. It seems that he is indeed a man in the army.

According to the rules of the house, women cannot meddle in the affairs of the army. Therefore, although the eldest lady is very powerful in the house, she has never had any contact with the army. Since these two people are in the army, then what they just said about their father sending them should also be true.

As soon as he thought of his father, the grievances in Shen Mu's heart suddenly became a little uncontrollable, and his nose was sour and his eyes were red.

Seeing Shen Muzhi's mood change, the beard took the opportunity to take a step forward, and said, "Ever since the general learned that you had escaped from home, he has been worried about your safety. Now that he has finally found you, he can rest assured!"

Shen Muzhi heard that his father was worried about him, and he hadn't cried since the accident, and his eyes were full of tears.

"It's been hard outside during this time?" Seeing this, the beard took another step forward and asked softly.

The tears in Shen Muzhi's eyes couldn't hold back any longer, and they rolled down all at once.

The beard came up and raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, as if to comfort him.

Shen Muzhi was excited and defenseless at the moment.

At this moment, a trace of complexity suddenly flashed in the beard's eyes.

Shen Muzhi, who was crying aggrievedly, suddenly jumped in his heart for no reason, and a strong sense of crisis came to his heart, almost subconsciously, he turned sideways, moved his feet, and retreated to the side.

The beard was also unexpected, and it was too late to cover it up.

Shen Muzhi looked at him in surprise and anger: "Who sent you?"

The beard smiled bitterly, and just about to speak, the other person who had never spoken, but at this time took two steps forward, and said to the beard with disgust: "What nonsense to talk to him, just knock him out and take it away!"

When Shen Muyi heard this, he didn't hesitate, turned around and ran.

These two people are not bad, and they are also people in the army, they have experienced a hundred battles, if they fight, I am afraid that he will not be able to last fifty moves under them, which is still based on the premise that they don't want to kill him. If you don't seek survival, I'm afraid you won't even be able to go through thirty moves!

Probably because Shen Muzhi saw through his identity, the two of them no longer hid their strength, and after a while, they caught up, one after the other, and quickly stopped Shen Muzhi.

Fortunately, this location has already reached the vicinity of the place agreed between Shen Muzhi and Xuan Cheng before.

If Xuan Cheng rushed over at this time, he would definitely be able to see them.

"Third Young Master, don't embarrass us, as long as you are willing to go with us, I promise not to hurt you in the slightest!" The bearded eyes signaled the other person not to do it first, and then spoke to Shen Muzhi's persuasion.

Shen Muzhi's right hand hidden in his sleeve had already quietly grasped the short sword in his hand, and after listening to the words of the beard, he stared and asked, "Then tell me, who sent you here?"

The beard smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that the general sent us." I didn't lie to you about that!"

Shen Muzhi stared at him, paying attention to every change in the expression on his face, but he couldn't find the slightest disguise. In other words, it is really possible that these two were sent by their father!

But since he was sent by his father, why did these two people have such an attitude towards him?

Could it be ......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but he felt as if a big stone had suddenly been pressed against his heart, and he felt a faint pain and could not breathe.

"There are still many doubts about General Xiao Shen's affairs. Although the general is willing to believe that the person behind the scenes is not you, the eldest lady's side also needs to be appeased. Moreover, when you escaped, you killed several people in the house, and you have to have an explanation for this matter. So, Third Young Master, you better go back with us! No matter what, you are the general's son, and no one will do anything to you until the matter is thoroughly investigated! If you keep refusing to go back, things will only get worse and worse. The beard said again.

Shen Muzhi stood there, but the more he listened, the more frightened he became!

Although this beard said that his father was willing to believe that he had not harmed his eldest brother, he hoped that he would go back to appease the eldest lady, which meant that he was still suspicious of him after all.

Also, when he escaped, he killed several people in the house?

Is there such a thing?

It seems that this should also be the handiwork of the man in black!

This man in black, in order to prevent him from having the possibility of turning over, really spared no effort!

Shen Muzhi's heart was extremely bitter, looking at the beard, after pinching the short sword in his hand, he took a deep breath, suppressed the complicated and sad mood in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Don't persuade anymore!

The beard's eyes froze, and after a few breaths of silence, he asked again in a deep voice, "Does the third young master really refuse to go back with us?"

Shen Muzhi smiled desolately: "Go back and die?"

The beard's expression changed slightly, and after looking at Shen Muyi with complicated eyes, he arched his hand and said, "Offended!" As soon as the words fell, the person who was already impatient behind Shen Muzhi suddenly moved.

Shen Muzhi knew that he couldn't beat these two people, so he didn't plan to be a gentleman. The two men did not use a sword, but he used a short sword. As the figure moved, the faint sword light followed a little understanding, which made the two of them a little more jealous.

A moment passed, and Shen Muzhi had already gone through dozens of moves with the two of them. Although there were no obvious wounds on Shen Muzhi's body, there was already a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. However, those two people also had a few more wounds on their bodies, although they were not critical, but the bloodstained appearance looked a little miserable.

However, the two fists are finally difficult to defeat the four hands, and the injuries on Shen Muzhi's feet have not yet healed, after a long time, they can no longer support it, and gradually, there are more and more flaws.

Seeing that he was about to lose, at this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance, as if he saw the movement here, and a blue-green sword light suddenly swept through the sky, with a sharp whistling sound, and in the blink of an eye, it was close. The sword light flew by, and with two bells, the two of them snorted one after another, and staggered away.

Immediately after, Xuan Cheng also arrived.

The figure was like a gust of wind, and it blew to Shen Muzhi's side in an instant, and before the two of them could see Xuan Cheng's figure clearly, he had already grabbed Shen Muzhi, and then jumped onto the green sword light, and rushed towards the mountains and forests not far away.

The person who said before that he wanted to stun Shen Muzhi was just about to chase after him, but he was stopped by the beard beside him.

"Can't catch up!" he shook his head, narrowing his eyes as he watched the sword light fade into the distance.

The other man's expressionless face was furrowed tightly in one place, and after a long silence, he suddenly spoke: "When will these bullshit monks be able to interfere in our affairs!"

"Forget it, let's go, since the third young master has a relationship with the people in the mountains, then this matter is not something we can meddle in! Just go back and write a letter to report this situation truthfully!" With that, he patted his accomplice on the shoulder, and then the two of them turned around and walked in the direction of Baishui Town.
