A few days later, shortly after the doors opened, a black steed burst out of the west gate of Yongluo City, its shining fur shining in the morning light, like a dark silk dancing in the air.

In the county guard's mansion a few hours ago, Mu Que packed his baggage before dawn.

Blowing out the candle in the room, he took the heavy straw on the table into his arms, pushed open the door and walked out.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave before dawn?" A neutral voice came from behind Mu Que, making Mu Que pause as he walked forward.

"Father, I won't be able to leave until everyone is up. Mu Que replied softly.

"Child, this world can't trap the birds that are about to travel thousands of miles, and my father is not here to stop you. The voice paused, and Mu Que clearly felt the helplessness and expectation in his father's words

"This will always be your home, and we will always be here for you. ”

The footsteps were far away, Mu Que felt his eyes hot, and tears suddenly gushed out, flowing down his cheeks.

Mu Que didn't allow himself to hesitate a little longer, put on the burden he had packed, and left quickly.

In the courtyard with a slight white sky in the east, a middle-aged man stood quietly under the peach tree, his slightly reddened eyes flowing with joy, and a smile on his slightly old face.

He knew that his son had really made up his mind to go out and have a good time, and he felt that he should be proud and relieved.

There was little traffic on the quiet street, and Mu Que led the horse he brought out to Ningde Gate in the west of the city.

When he was young, he ran on the streets as if it were yesterday, and today he packed his bags and prepared to leave his hometown with his family and friends.

The breakfast shop not far from the roadside was already ready for fire, and the heat in the pot was mixed with the aroma of soup in the air, wafting far away on the street in the early morning.

"Sir, this is the breakfast shop you often come to. A familiar voice sounded behind him, and the jet-black steed was wearing a purple round-necked robe, Liu Yu, with a kind of confidence that came from the depths of his soul on his handsome face.

"I was surprised that the gentleman had left so early. Look, Mr. must have eaten yet, I invite you. ”

Saying that, Liu Yu had already walked to the front of the store and asked the boss for two soup noodles from the land south of the Yangtze River that Mu Que liked.

"Come see me off?" asked Mu Que.

Now Mu Que and Liu Yu are more like friends or cooperative relations.

Mu Que will not be restrained about Liu Yu's status as a prince, Liu Yu has also been pulling in the relationship between the two, although they have their own thoughts, but Mu Que is not against having a prince friend.

"Send you a horse, I've seen a horse in the county guard's house, but it's not as good as this one. The two of them went to the stall on the side of the road, Liu Yu pointed to the horse brought by Mu Que and said.

As he spoke, two servings of soup powder were already on the table, and the rich aroma came to the nostrils, and the white powder was entangled in the golden soup.

"It's delicious, no wonder Mr. likes to come here. Liu Yu tasted the powder and couldn't help but praise, "By the way, this is the map, and the route is marked so that you can go to Jixia." ”

Mu Que took the parchment roll handed by Liu Yu and a smile appeared on his face.

There was not much time, and the gates were opened on time when the sun rose.

Mu Que waved his hand at Liu Yu, and then slapped his horse and rushed to the heaven and earth outside the city in the distance.

He knew he couldn't turn back, it was a wonderful journey, but it was a dangerous gamble.

But Mu Que was not afraid, on the contrary, his heart was filled with excitement that he had never felt before.

He left his homeland and his happy homeland to create his own story.

Qi State, located in the easternmost part of the Nine Kingdoms of the Central Plains, spans more than 2,000 miles of territory and hundreds of cities.

It is bordered by the East China Sea in the east, the Jianghuai River in the south, Youyan in the north, and the Weilu border in the west.

Yongluo is located in the southeast of Qi country, and Jixia School Palace is in Qi Yuan, Jixia River, which is famous all over the world.

The two places are separated by nearly a thousand miles, even if Mu Que, a good horse who travels hundreds of miles a day, has to travel for ten days day and night, not to mention the fact that Mu Que can't gallop a hundred miles in a day.

The sun swooped down from the high sky, shining beside Mu Que, it was the third day he left Yongluo City, and he finally walked out of the scope of Yongluo County, and it was also a real departure from Yongluo County.

Mu Que took the reins and led the horse to a stream.

Looking at the vast mountains in front of him, Mu Que was wandering for a while.

Mu Que listened to the martial artists and warlocks invited by the mansion often said that between heaven and earth, since Emperor Shun sealed the Classic of Mountains and Seas, there have been many fewer monsters, and the mountains and rivers full of spiritual energy have not only become a holy place for human cultivation, but also a place where spiritual medicine and spiritual grass are born, and this kind of creature that can practice like a human being is called a spirit beast by them.

Mu Que looked around, and since leaving the gallop and entering this mountain range, Mu Que clearly felt a feeling that he had never felt before.

The speed at which he cultivated was even faster than before. This should be the so-called place of abundant spiritual energy, Mu Que thought.

After watching the horse finish drinking water, Mu Que turned over and got on the horse again and walked deeper into the mountain forest.

As far as he knew, crossing this mountain range, he was nearly one-third away from the Jixia School Palace he was going to.

Before he had walked a mile, Mu Que suddenly noticed that a fishy mist began to fill the surroundings, which made him think of the spirit beasts he had heard of.

A purple light suddenly burst out of the air, shooting into the rocks not far from Mu Que, followed by a figure that whistled with a strong wind.

When the figure swept past Mu Que, he heard a word clearly.

"Don't move, be careful to throw your life away!"

Before Mu Que could react, a bright light suddenly erupted from among the mountains and rocks not far away, and roars and roars came and went.

A moment later, the stones that had been intact were instantly smashed into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

There was a crisp thud, followed by a muffled sound as he fell to the ground.

Mu Que looked at the mountain rocks calmly, with strong vigilance and fear in his eyes.

He realized how close he was to death, and the rhetoric about life and death and the disdain for the dying kneeling and begging for mercy made Mu Que feel so naïve and ignorant for a moment.

Suddenly, he remembered what Liu Yu had said that he had long forgotten: "Try not to take the mountain and forest paths." ”

"It's okay, little brother. A gentle voice came, and Mu Que's beating heart began to calm down.

"I'm a wandering bachelor, from the Jixia Academy. I'm sorry, it's really my fault that the hunted spirit beast ran away and let the little brother suffer this accident. ”

Saying that, a gray-robed young man walked out of the rock, his slightly chubby figure and a kind face made Mu Que let down his guard a little.

"Brother Tai claims to be a bachelor?" asked Mu Que hurriedly dismounted.

"Exactly. The little brother isn't hurt, is he?" the young man asked.

"Thank you brother for coming to the rescue, I am very grateful. Saying that, Mu Que said first.

"Senior brother, why do you say that?"

"The next is the person who went to the Jixia School Palace to prepare for admission, and the gentleman claimed to be a bachelor under the Jixia, and that was the senior brother under him. As he spoke, Mu Que took out the Ji that he had placed in his arms and ordered it to be handed to the young man.

"Ji ordered?" The young man looked at Mu Que with a little surprise, "It is rumored that the people who have Ji orders are all amazing talents, and the junior brother should be a literary talent rather than a martial artist." ”

The young man's words made Mu Que really a little confused, so he asked, "Senior brother, what do you mean by this?"

"This order is generally issued by the sons of the school palace, to the world's famous people so that they can give it to the person they like or directly to the rookie, and this rookie is divided into two categories: good literature and good martial arts. ”

"Seeing that the junior brother didn't know martial arts just now, he must be the junior brother who is this literary talent. The young man said

"By the way, my name is Ji Zilan, you can call me Senior Brother Ji. Dare to ask the little brother what is his name?"

"In the Lower Muque. Mu Que hurriedly replied. "Senior brother, do you want to go back to Jixia?"

"Well, yes, seeing that Senior Brother Mu is not proficient in martial arts, just come with me, you are safer. Ji Zilan said.

Mu Que hurriedly gave the salute again, and when he met today's events, Mu Que was also a little afraid in his heart, and he felt a lot more at ease to have a senior brother with him.

"Ahh Mu Que sighed secretly.

"Senior Brother Ji, where are we going now?" Mu Que asked, now that he met a senior brother, he naturally wanted to ask him where he was going next.

"Ziling. Ji Zilan said, and at the same time looked Mu Que up and down with her eyes, "It's not that the junior brother has never been in contact with cultivation, this body is not weak, it should be that he has never been in contact with martial arts." ”

"Let's see how your cultivation is, and in a few days, Senior Brother will teach you a few tricks and a few potentials, so that you can protect yourself in times of crisis. ”

"Self-preservation?" Mu Que was puzzled, the meaning of this sentence was that there might still be danger.

"Well, Senior Brother, I am a person who specializes in cultivation, and I want to take advantage of my wandering time to hunt spirit beasts for cultivation, and sometimes I may not have time to protect you, so I want to teach you some first. Ji Zilan said, "Okay, let's go to Ziling first." ”

It seems that this is not completely safe, Mu Que thought, but after thinking about it, it is much safer than the situation of going alone, and Mu Que feels that it is nothing if he wants to fight here.

It's just that the aura is not weak, so Mu Que couldn't help frowning, why is he not without talent, but his father, who is a cultivator, does not mention that he wants to pass on his martial arts method.

A question that was not a question arose in Mu Que's heart, and he hid it in his heart.

What he has to do now is to go to the Jixia School Palace as soon as possible, three years is neither a short time nor a long time, Mu Que can only find a way to reduce unnecessary time if he wants to learn more things.
