"I don't know when the benefactor will leave." Gu Shili, a businessman who claimed to be from Jinling City, asked Mu Shengbai very respectfully.

Mu Shengbai was a little unaccustomed to others talking to him like this, and raised his hand embarrassedly, "Don't call me that, why don't you call me Shengbai, everyone in the villa calls me that." ”

Gu Shili is as good as a stream, "Brother Bai." ”

"Uh-huh." Sheng Bai nodded madly, "I'm going to leave at dawn later, since you came out of Jinling City, I don't know if you can tell me about the situation inside?" ”

"Yes." Gu Shi's face was as usual, "I left Jinling City a few days ago, although it is not as lively as when the initial news came out, but there are still not a few people who come here, among them, there are mixed with fish and dragons, and various local forces are mixed in it, and my injury was left by the team of black-clothed people who suspected that I was carrying treasure when I came out of it." ”

Shengbai had no doubts about his words, but he didn't have any thoughts about the treasure in his mouth.

"Then I don't know where my brother will go after I'm gone?" Mu Shengbai's original intention was not to investigate, but to worry that the team of black-clothed people would find the inn after he left.

"I'm too seriously injured, I want to stay in the inn for a few days and wait for recovery before leaving, Shengbai doesn't need to worry, there are a lot of inns here, they must not know that I will be here."

Mu Shengbai thought about it, he also chose this place with this consideration in mind, this inn is much more humble than other homes, and those people in black don't seem to have bright identities, otherwise they don't have to be masked to see people, and he is not worried that they will go door to door to find people.

As soon as the hour arrived, Mu Shengbai packed his luggage and prepared to continue his journey, he said goodbye to Gu Shili, and after paying off a few days of silver taels at the shopkeeper, he thought that Gu Shili didn't seem to be carrying any baggage, and was worried that he didn't have any silver taels on him, so he took out a few more taels of silver for the shopkeeper.

"What do you mean by the young man, this can't be helped." The shopkeeper seemed to think that Mu Shengbai wanted to reward him, but he refused repeatedly.

This made Mu Shengbai stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I want to leave a little silver tael as the expense of a friend who came with me yesterday, I hope you can take good care of him." ”

I see.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, took the silver taels handed over by Mu Shengbai, and nodded in response.

When he walked onto the inaccessible road, he always felt that someone was following him in the distance. But when he looked around, he didn't notice anything unusual, just that the leaves on the side of the road were windless.

Mu Shengbai sneered in his heart, sped up his hurry, and finally saw a ruined temple at night, thinking that it would be better to go in and rest for a night than to sleep in the open.

The dilapidated temple is dedicated to the Taishang Zhenjun, and Mu Shengbai has also seen it in the ancestral hall in the villa, a majestic old man statue with an evil sword in his hand, but he doesn't know what happened to this temple, and it is so desolate and dilapidated. He swept the dust in front of the statue, bowed a few times, then laid a strip of clothing in front of him and lay down.

There was nothing else in the temple, but there were a lot of rats, and some rats jumped on the stage and kicked over the discarded fruit bowl, which rolled on the ground and made a gurgling sound, but this noise was also mixed with some strange sounds, like the rustle of someone flying up to the beam, Mu Sheng's white eyes opened suddenly.

The miserable white moonlight shone in through the hole in the broken temple, it was clear, the shadow on the beam suddenly moved, Mu Shengbai picked up a stone on the ground, and threw it towards the shadow with internal force.

"Hmm." The man snorted, and then a black shadow flew down from the beam of the house, and dozens of black shadows broke through the walls of the black temple and rushed in, all of them holding several darts in their hands, emitting a terrifying cold light in the moonlight.

"It's you again." Mu Shengbai rose from the ground and looked at them vigilantly.

"Where is the person you saved, hand it over and spare your life." The voice of the man in black in the lead was familiar, it was the man he had seen in the grove. Perhaps knowing Mu Shengbai's strength, his speech was not as domineering as it was then.

Mu Shengbai's heart sank, since they could all find him, it would be at least a matter of time to find Gu Shili.

With a sneer, "Dream." ”

The leader's eyes darkened, and he said sharply: "Since you don't eat the etiquette, then we have to come to the army, I don't believe that the knife is on your neck, you kid is still hard-mouthed." ”

As soon as the words fell, they shot from all directions, and the tip flashed with a strange blue light It is a dart, even if it has been soaked in venom at a glance.

Mu Shengbai didn't dare to be careless, as soon as his body fluttered, he perfectly dodged all the darts, thinking about Gu Shili's safety, he didn't plan to entangle with them, and ran outside after avoiding this attack.

Sensing that they were following behind, he did not run back to the inn directly, but took them around the woods several times, and only after throwing them off did he fly back to the inn.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised to see Mu Shengbai suddenly appear at the door in embarrassment, but Mu Shengbai didn't have the heart to deal with him and went directly to the room.

The lights were on in the room, and there was no strange sound, and he gently knocked on the door a few times.

"Who?" It was quiet for a moment before Gu Shili's cold voice came out, with a hint of blood, which was a little different from his rather honest image in front of Mu Shengbai.

"Me." Mu Shengbai didn't think much about it, and after indicating his identity, the back door opened.

"Brother Shengbai, didn't you leave, why did you come back again?" Gu Shili turned sideways and let Mu Shengbai in.

Mu Shengbai told him about the events of the night, and promised that he would wait for him to recover from his injuries before leaving, and Gu Shili was grateful to him again.

Even when he was out of the house, he did not forget the habit of his daily life in the villa, and he had already gotten up to practice his sword before he arrived, although there was no specific place here, but it was very remote, and he could practice all morning in an open space where no one was.

The next day, when he returned to the door of the inn sweating profusely, he happened to meet Gu Shili who was about to go out, his injury was not yet healed, he was limping, and he saw Mu Shengbai panicking for a moment, and it was fleeting, and Mu Shengbai did not find it.

"Why do Brother Shengbai go out so early every day?" Gu Shili asked casually.

Mu Shengbai smiled heartily, "Practice swords." ”

"But the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique of Liuyun Villa?" Gu Shili's eyes were full of admiration.

The Liuyun Sword Technique of Liuyun Mountain Villa is world-famous, and Mu Shengbai didn't think that Gu Shili knew anything strange, so he readily admitted it.

"Although I'm just an ordinary businessman, I've admired Liuyun swordsmanship for a long time, and I don't know if I have the good eyes to see Shengbai play a few tricks."
