Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Chance Encounter on the Way
After running in this mountain range for half a month, even if the beautiful scenery is too much, it can't help but make people feel a little bored, and because the map is not detailed enough, Mu Yang feels that he is a little lost.
Approaching the evening, Mu Yang still maintained the posture of lying on horseback on his back to rest after dredging the meridians, he seemed to be bored looking at the sky, in fact, he was very anxious, now there is still a month and a half before the two sects recruit disciples, if he goes in the wrong direction, then it is very likely that he will not be able to catch up, so where should he go.
Mu Yang, who was falling into a cranky thought, didn't notice that the trees and grass on both sides of him gradually became sparse, and the road under the horse's hooves gradually widened, obviously he had walked out of this mountain range. At that moment, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Uh-huh......! This brother Tai also please stay, since you and I have the fate to see each other today, why don't you leave half of your property and lend it to you temporarily, there will be a good reward if you have a chance in the future, I don't know what Brother Tai wants?"
Mu Yang, who hadn't heard the voice for a long time, was happy in his heart at first, and when he understood the meaning of the words of the person blocking the road, he suddenly laughed dumbly, he didn't expect that the person he had just met turned out to be a robber, and he actually said it so literately, according to his understanding, generally this robber should shout "This mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, I want to pass by from here, leave to buy road money".
When Muyang sat up and looked at the appearance of the person who came, he almost didn't laugh out loud. This robber is a slightly chubby young man, also around sixteen years old, only slightly shorter than Mu Yang by half a head, that is, about 1.75 meters, the first impression is quite cute.
It's just that this chubby boy looks quite miserable now, his hair like a bird's nest is mixed with a lot of grass roots and dirt, and he is only wearing a set of tattered underwear, which is yellow and white covered with dried mud, and the only slightly clean round face is also blue and purple, and he almost has a capital misery on his forehead.
At this time, the chubby young man held a branch with leaves that seemed to have just been broken, his eyes looked at the sky and seemed to dare not look at Mu Yang, he opened his hands and stopped a few steps away from Mu Yang, although the young man looked very calm with an expressionless face at this time, but the branch that was trembling slightly with his hands revealed his inner uneasiness, and Mu Yang, who was at the tip of his ears, also heard the constant snorting sound in the other party's stomach.
"What kind of god operation is this? It's a pity that this image doesn't go to beg, and it actually comes to rob the road!"
Mu Yang, who couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, couldn't help but complain frantically in his heart, but he didn't hold the horse's reins or say anything because of this, and let the horse continue to walk.
When Ma Shou gently pushed the chubby boy aside, Mu Yang took out a handful of broken silver from his bag, thought for a moment, picked out a piece of about one or two weights from it and threw it at the chubby boy.
This is not because Muyang is stingy, but the life that Muyang lived in the previous life has been tight, and he has developed his habit of frugality, and it is the first time in this life that he has so much money, and he can give a tael of silver for a person who he doesn't know and rob him, but also because he is kind-hearted and can't see the miserable situation of others.
Then the brother went to change his clothes and have a good meal. May I ask this brother, what kind of place is this? Is there anyone nearby who can spend the night? And how far is this place from Gutai City, and how to get there?"
"Ah, thank you! I don't know where to spend the night near here, but I know that the city of Gutai is about five hundred miles north of here, and it should take you three days to climb over the two hills in front of you, and then ride your horse with all your might...... Hmm? No, I'm! Master, I finally left my face and came to you to borrow something, what do you mean by that? Do you want to eat? In that case, don't blame you, sir, I'm welcome!"
When the chubby boy saw the broken silver thrown by Muyang, he hurriedly dropped the branch in his hand to catch the broken silver, and then answered Muyang's question with a smile. And when he came back to his senses and remembered the purpose of his trip, his face changed, and he threw the broken silver in his hand to the ground, and ran towards Muyang viciously......
"Shhh...... Brother Yang, Brother Yang, is it almost baked? Can you eat it?"
"What's your hurry, the condiments have just been sprinkled and haven't tasted yet, wait a while! ”
As night fell, on a small hillside, two teenagers, one fat and one thin, sat side by side in front of a bonfire, on which were roasting two fat pheasants strung with branches and dripping with oil, and a few steps away from them, a horse was tied to a tree and was slowly gnawing on the tender grass on the ground with its head down.
These two teenagers are Mu Yang and the slightly chubby young man named Mo Xiaoqi who just stopped him from robbing the property, at this time, Mo Xiaoqi grinned and rubbed his beaten left eye and the left face that was cut out of a big hole, while staring at the pheasant on the bonfire, his throat couldn't stop swallowing saliva, and his mouth kept urging Mu Yang, who was spinning the branches to roast the pheasant, to speed up, and the two seemed to have a good relationship.
It turned out that after Mo Xiaoqi rushed to Muyang in annoyance and shame, although Mu Yang, who was unable to exert his full strength because he had just finished the Linzi seal, was not afraid, jumped off the horse and fought with him. However, Mu Yang didn't expect that Mo Xiaoqi, who looked extremely miserable, was actually an ancient martial artist, and his cultivation was not low, and he was almost about to reach the Great Perfection of the Air Induction Mirror, and Mu Yang, who was a little light, suffered a small loss at the beginning.
Fortunately, this Mo Xiaoqi doesn't seem to have much experience in fighting people, and when he fights with Muyang, he relies on brute force to rampage, even Muyang when he fought with the frost poison python is not as good, and it didn't take long for Muyang, who had been in a hundred battles, to gain the upper hand.
It's just that Mo Xiaoqi should have an ancient martial art that improves his own defense ability, and it is difficult to hurt him with less powerful attacks. After a lot of hard work, Mu Yang, who no longer had reservations, resorted to unyielding swordsmanship, and after the injured Mo Xiaoqi felt a little life-threatening, he simply surrendered and begged for mercy.
Because Mu Yang did not feel the killing intent on Mo Xiaoqi during the battle, and his way of speaking and acting did not look like robbers and robbers, it was a little strange that he did not kill him, and began to ask about the true meaning of the other party.
It turns out that this Mo Xiaoqi is not a nearby person, but lives in a remote town far away from here, Mo Xiaoqi's father Mo Wuwen is also an ancient martial artist and a rare three-grade refining master, because of his only son has very high expectations, so he has always been strict with Mo Xiaoqi since he was a child, and he is very afraid of his father's Mo Xiaoqi naturally dare not slack off easily.
It's a pity that Mo Xiaoqi seems to be a little lazy by nature, as long as Mo Wuwen doesn't pay attention to it, he will be cheating and tricky, and he is unwilling to work hard to cultivate. Therefore, even if Mo Xiaoqi had such a superhuman talent as twelve meridians that could be cultivated when he became an ancient martial artist, he only broke through to the peak realm of the air induction mirror when he was sixteen years old, and Mo Xiaoqi was scolded by his father for this.
But he still has some talent in refining, and he has become a five-grade refiner at a young age, but despite this, he was constantly scolded and nagged by his strict father, and finally Mo Xiaoqi, who was overwhelmed, packed up and ran away from home very hard.
There is no Mo Xiaoqi nagging by his father in his ears, and there is a sense of pleasure in his heart that the sea is wide and the fish leaps into the sky and the birds fly, he feels that he has never been so free and happy in his life, but this time he ran away from home only for a moment, and there was no place to go in his heart, he didn't dare to go home for a while, but fortunately he brought enough money when he went out, so he began to wander around aimlessly.
When he wandered here, he met a small group of mountain bandits, among the seven mountain bandits, there were five ancient warriors and two ordinary people who were still in the Mortal Mirror, except for the one who was the leader who was a middle-level cultivator of the air-inducing mirror, the remaining four were only the initial level of the air-inducing mirror, and naturally they were not taken into the eyes of Mo Xiaoqi, who was already the peak of the air-inducing mirror, and they were beaten away with three punches and two kicks, but this group of mountain bandits who were kindly spared by Mo Xiaoqi brought him a disaster.
This little gang of mountain bandits is a small minion who gathers Xiao in the vicinity to rob the house and call himself a wandering mountain thief, they fled back to the nest in embarrassment, after some crying and crying, it caused the anger of a cultivator in the air-inducing mirror Dacheng leader, under the pursuit of this leader and several minions, Mo Xiaoqi was pressed the ground and rubbed, relying on a set of ancient martial arts based on the family heirloom to survive, but there were a few fig leafs left on the body of the looted.
Mo Xiaoqi, who had rested for a long time before recovering from his injuries, began to wander around the neighborhood very miserably, but unfortunately he didn't dare to go to the Liushan thieves alone to take revenge, and secondly, he lacked experience in surviving in the wild, and when he met Muyang, he was already hungry with his chest against his back.
Seeing Mu Yang who was coming towards him and eating snacks from time to time, Mo Xiaoqi touched his belly like thunder and turned his heart sideways, and decided to find Mu Yang in front of him first to "borrow" something to deal with emergencies, and then double the repayment when he met again in the future.
But he didn't expect to be unlucky enough to meet Muyang's hard stubble again, so the previous scene happened, but after some contact, he found that Muyang, who was only half a year older than himself, was actually a very good person to get along with, so he immediately followed behind with his face and called the eldest brother, Muyang didn't expect that this seemingly honest Mo Xiaoqi would be so thick-skinned, but he thought that it was good to have someone to accompany him on the way, so he took him in.
