An hour later, when Zhu Xun, who had figured out Mu Tong's identity from Zhu Lu's mouth, returned to the bamboo forest with a large group of thugs from the Zhu family.

I only saw people going to the empty bamboo hut and three corpses and a bulldozed deserted grave.

Mu Tong and Mo Qing took out the eldest sister's bones after Zhu Xun left, wrapped them in Mu Qiu's quilt and left. There is a caravan arranged by Lu Guangyuan in Shili Pavilion in the south of the city, as long as the bones and Mu Qiu are arranged into the caravan, they can be safely escorted back to Mohai.

As long as he is out of the realm of Lingxu City, Mu Tong is confident that with the strength of the Mu family, the Zhu family will definitely not be able to intercept the bones of Mu Qiu and the eldest sister. And he and Mo Qing are bait!

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Mu Qiu was unwilling to follow the caravan to accompany his mother's bones back to Mohai, but chose to follow his uncle and deal with the Zhu family!

Seeing that time was pressing, Mu Tong repeatedly confirmed Mu Qiu's wishes, and then blatantly took him and Mo Qing to disappear at the south gate and continue north.

If nothing else, just because he learned about the third sister's trend from Mu Qiu's mouth, he decided to continue chasing and attract the attention of the Zhu family by the way.

It turned out that Mu Qiu was reluctant to leave because he remembered the third aunt's plan.

He remembered that the third aunt had said that there was a hidden sect in the twilight rain forest in the middle of the Shengwu Kingdom, which was little known, but it had a long inheritance and extraordinary strength, and she also learned about it from the owner of an ancient tomb. Because the owner of the ancient tomb was a disciple of that sect, but when he came out to travel, he started a family privately and established a family, violated the rules of the sect, and did not dare to return to the sect.

When the third aunt visited her mother last year, she planned to look for the Linhai Sect, but she just stopped by to visit her mother. Mu Qiu has not forgotten the amazing martial arts of the third aunt.

His kung fu has only grown greatly under the guidance of the third aunt, otherwise he is half a year younger than Zhu Lu, how can he be Zhu Lu's opponent. How can his eldest brother not learn and have no skills, he is also a child of the Zhu family, and he has not used less medicinal materials to boil his muscles and bones since he was a child.

Therefore, after knowing that his uncle was going to find the third aunt, he immediately thought of the hidden sect in the mouth of the third aunt, if he could worship in the sect, maybe he would be able to learn superb martial arts, deal with the Zhu family, and avenge his mother.

As for the Mu family, he was really worried that he would cause trouble for the Mu family, in his impression, the Mu family was the richest merchant family in the world, and his mother said that his grandfather was the most profitable, but he did not have the same force as the Zhu family.

Therefore, he was afraid that he would implicate the Mu family, so he didn't dare to tell Mu Tong the truth frankly.

Otherwise, Mu Tong would tell him that the Mu family has no masters. There is an ancient woman who is barely a saint in her yard, and there is a Heavenly Master Martial Artist in each of the four major branches. In the base camp of the Mu family, there are a thousand Xuanshi Iron Horsemen who are proficient in the number of combined attacks. In the camp where the Mu family secretly cultivated orphans, there were two Heavenly Master assassins who were proficient in assassination.

The Mu family can also exchange countless treasures for some good sect masters to help.

This is also why Mu Tong dares to argue with the Zhu family, and he has undisguised confidence. Of course, these are not Mu Tong's hole cards, he has a hole card that no one knows except himself. (Well, the author doesn't even know.) ）

In this way, in just three days, Mu Tong and his party finally deceived the Zhu family by relying on the old cloth suspicion array, successfully left the boundary of Lingxu City, and came to one of the towns on the central edge of the Shengwu Kingdom, Withered Leaf Town.

Speaking of this withered leaf town, it is also quite prestigious in the Shengwu Kingdom, but this reputation is a bit strange.

The reason why Dead Leaf Town is called Dead Leaf Town is because for thousands of years, Dead Leaf Town, a small town located in the mountains, has trees within a radius of fifty miles, and the trees can only be seen with branches and leaves during the three months of spring every year. Once spring has passed, the leaves on the trees will automatically wither and fall off from the first day of summer, and then continue until the following spring, and the trees around the town will be bare, eerie, and unchanging for thousands of years.

Therefore, at the turn of spring and summer every year, it is the most crowded time in Withered Leaf Town, why? Just because there are too many people watching the wonders!

Originally, in this era when gods and ghosts and legends are circulating, this wonder is really nothing, and any ancient tomb secret realm or something is more attractive.

But I couldn't bear it, and eight hundred years ago, a passing martial artist suddenly had an epiphany when he watched this extremely prosperous and declining scene, and realized a set of amazing heaven-level martial arts-Kurong Palm.

And the little martial artist who only had the cultivation of Xuanshi at that time became a contemporary grandmaster with this martial arts, and he conquered the territory of Nuoda with one person and one palm, killed the heroes of the Shengwu Kingdom and bowed down, and finally founded the second-grade sect Withered Leaf Gate that has been handed down to this day.

Although the name is a bit earthy, the withered leaves of the people have been inherited for hundreds of years without decay, and they rely on the ancestral withered palm and the wonders of the withered leaves town every year to learn the withered glory palm martial arts.

Fortunately, at this time, the wonders of withered leaves have passed, and today's withered leaves town is a lot more deserted, except for the disciples of the withered leaves sect who occasionally return from doing tasks and settle down.

Mu Tong and the three of them found a fairly clean restaurant to rest, and planned to find an inn to stay in after dinner.

"Fate gathers in the building, meaning: there is a fate to gather. It's extraordinary. ”

Mu Tong looked at the signboard of the restaurant and mentioned it with feeling.

The little guy who led the way saw that Mu Tong seemed to be interested in the signboard of his restaurant, and immediately explained with a smile: "The guest officer praised it falsely. We have been gathering for almost 200 years. It is said that the ancestor of the owner had just settled in this withered leaf town and opened this restaurant. Unexpectedly, one day, there were three high-rollers in the restaurant, and they didn't agree with each other, but they didn't expect to fight more and more sympathetic, so they took advantage of the restaurant to worship here. ”

Looking at the little girl's storytelling-like boasting, Mu Tong smiled and said nothing, and did not answer.

He doesn't think that a shopkeeper would let others worship in his store after being smashed in his own store. If that's the case, he absolutely hates these three guys to death, how can he take a name that makes him hate to death. Even if you're famous, you can't do it.

casually ordered a table of the restaurant's specialty dishes, and Mo Qing waved away the little two who were still planning to brag about it for a while.

Mo Qing picked up the hot teapot given by Xiao Er, poured a cup of hot tea for the young master and the little young master, and then poured himself a cup. Then the two of them took a sip of hot tea, and after smacking their lips, they nodded quietly, indicating that the tea was fine.

That's right, Mo Qing is testing poison. As a clever little Mo Ye, under the cultivation of the ancient mother-in-law, Mo Qing is not only proficient in body methods, but also familiar with all kinds of poisons.

"Young master, this little guy's words are full of loopholes, so don't care. ”

Mu Tong picked up the steaming tea, cooled it a little, and put it in front of Mu Qiu, and then replied to Mo Qing's words.

"Okay, young master, I didn't even pay attention to it, what do you care so much about. But when I asked, I didn't plan to ask. The second brother is willing to say, you should just listen to it, why bother. ”

"What Brother Tai said is extremely true. ”

As soon as Mu Yuanyuan's voice fell, at a table behind him, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face like a knife, and sharp edges and corners couldn't help but scream.

It's just that after his words ended, he saw that Mu Tong and the three of them were all looking at his face, scratching his face with his index finger a little embarrassed, and then blushing, he saluted the three of them with both hands and fists, and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, I just accidentally listened to it, and I just felt it. ”

Mu Tong looked at the young man who was a little embarrassed, the young man looked twenty-one or twelve years old, not burly, but definitely not thin, with dark skin and coarse linen. Coupled with a pot of turbid wine, a plate of shabby side dishes, and a rag strip on the bench next to him that was obviously filled with a blade and a rag bag for luggage, it could be seen that this person's life was a little embarrassing.

is such a person who is obviously mixed with the rivers and lakes, although his life is embarrassed and his face is embarrassed, but he is full of energy, and he can apologize calmly because of the eyes of the three of them, and he is obviously a downright man.

Mu Tong looked at each other, and then looked at the wine and food on his table, and couldn't help but think of making friends.

"This brother is invited. It's just a little small talk, and it's not very confidential, just listen to it, and there is no need to apologize. If we really want to apologize, it should be me and others who want to apologize. In public, I was harassing my brother. ”

"No, no. It's me who has a lot of trouble, and my brother is serious. ”

The young man hurriedly waved his hand, a little flustered.

He is free to deal with people less, so he is full of yearning for the outside world, so he sneaked out of the house on the wedding night, but he was cheated out of his money, but fortunately he had some martial arts, so he didn't starve to death.

wandered aimlessly all the way to Withered Leaf Town, and now I wonder if I should give up and go home, but I didn't listen to Mu Tong's words, and I naturally said a word in a trance.

Mu Tong looked at the young man's embarrassed appearance, coupled with the other party's shabby food, and immediately saw embarrassment and inferiority. couldn't help but invite: "Brother Tai, it's better to meet by chance, why don't you sit down and talk together?"

"Huh?"

The young man didn't expect that the other party not only didn't blame him for his recklessness, but also invited himself to a table to eat together, which ......

It's been almost a few months since he fell into trouble, he has endured all the hardships, tasted the warmth and coldness of people, and the young man does not doubt Mu Tong's purpose, after all, he himself has relied on helping those pure villagers and people to do some chores to eat in the past few months, and occasionally kill a few thieves who block the road and rob and get a few taels of silver to make a tooth sacrifice.

These foods that he didn't look at at the time were now very delicious in his eyes, and he was not polite immediately, and directly picked up his pot of wine and a plate of side dishes and sat on the chair opposite Mu Tong.

Mo Qing looked at this young man who didn't know what politeness was, and couldn't help but move his buttocks, and sat down a little closer to the young man, just in case.

The young master has a big heart, but he doesn't dare to have a big heart. After all, he is responsible for the safety of two people alone. It's okay for the young master to beat ordinary people, but when he meets a master of the rivers and lakes, he has no ability to protect himself. Not to mention that there is a little young master who has no ability to protect himself.

"In Xia Tongmu, this is my nephew Mu Qiu, that is my accompanying scholar Qingmo, I don't know how my brother Tai has a high surname?"

"Poof, ahem, ahem!"

The young man hadn't done much, and Mo Qing, who had listened to Mu Tong's self-introduction, almost didn't choke to death by his tea. glared at the young master with a resentful face: I changed my name to Qingmo, anyway, it is no different from Moqing, it is the same black. But what the hell is that boy of yours? Why don't you just call Astro Boy!

Xiao Muqiu looked at the two uncles blankly. He didn't know what Uncle Qing's surname was, after all, his mother didn't mention it, but only said that there was an Uncle Qing next to his uncle, and he was more like a brother than a brother. But why did the uncle suddenly not have the surname Mu, but the surname Tong?

His eyes purred, looking at the strange adults on both sides, and then he saw Uncle Qing's grimace that kept squeezing his eyebrows at him, and he was smart and silent, silently picking up his rice bowl and eating the chicken leg that Uncle Mutong gave him.

Although the young man was curious about what the boy on the other side had just finished introducing himself, his scholar seemed to be choked, but in order not to be rude, he still suppressed the idea of wanting to care about this little scholar, and arched his hand to Mu Tong and said: "Thank you Brother Tong for please, under Shao Wei, he will definitely become a man of the sword god in the future. ”

“......”

Mu Tong and Mo Qing looked at each other speechlessly, and Mu Tong wondered if this second-level young man had invited him by mistake. On the contrary, Mo Qing let down his guard against Shao Wei, this kind of middle two goods, it can't be a killer sent by the Zhu family, right?

And Mu Qiu, who was silently competing with the chicken legs, heard the word "Sword God", and looked at Shao Wei with bright eyes, but looking at Shao Wei's unshaven beard and messy hair, he instantly dropped the newly rising worship back to the bottom.

If this kind of person is a sword god, then he is not a generation of heroes. This is clearly a liar who cheats to eat and drink.

Although he had the heart to remind his uncle, in line with the principle that adults do things and children don't talk much, he continued to focus on the dinner table, whether the chicken legs were not fragrant, or the pork belly was not delicious, and the little pot friend didn't have time to care about a down-and-out liar.

"Oh! It turned out to be Brother Shao. Brother Shao, please, let's talk while eating, otherwise the food won't taste good when it's cold. ”

"That'...... Then you're welcome. I'll tell you the truth, it's been a long time since I've eaten something that good. ”

Mu Tong said hello, and Shao Wei was not polite, and started directly. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the fat and not greasy piece that Mu Qiu had been staring at for a long time in front of him disappeared and fell into Shao Wei's bowl, and then a "bloody mouth" opened, and in Mu Qiu's reluctant gaze, he bit off most of the piece of pork belly, chewed it two or three times, and swallowed it.

"Smack. ”

Xiao Muqiu's chopsticks fell under the table, and his heart was full of grievances.

That's the meat of the Lun family! You big liar! Give me back your meat!
